Rui Yuchen asked seeing Qi Yan's confused expression, "What's wrong? Is there something you don't understand?"
Qi Yan briefly repeated the contents of the phone call and expressed her confusion about Boss Pei's arrangements.
"Zhang Yahui was originally the person-in-charge of the Cold-Faced Lady's Gourmet Laboratory. Why didn't Boss Pei let him continue researching new dishes for the Cold-Faced Lady? Instead, he let him continue setting up stalls? This … doesn't make sense! "
To Qi Yan, this was undoubtedly a setback.
If the food and beverage industry wanted to develop to a large scale, it had to take a standardized and mass-produced model. No matter how good a stall owner's skills were, there was a limit to the number of customers he could satisfy every day. However, if he could use this stall owner's recipe to train many chefs and open branches all over the country, the profits generated would be thousands or tens of thousands of times more than before.
On the other hand, it would not be beneficial to Tengda Corporation's food and beverage industry even though the environment and treatment would be better if these vendors gave up their work in the Gourmet Laboratory to set up stalls.
In the long run, this seemed to be a short-sighted action. It did not seem like something Boss Pei would do.
Rui Yuchen remained silent for a moment. "That's because you don't understand Boss Pei."
Qi Yan was stunned. "Eh? What do you mean? "
Rui Yuchen explained, "In my opinion, this matter is very consistent with Boss Pei's style of doing things. It's also very reasonable!"
"Have you realized that you've actually fallen into the mistake of blind fast-food and standardized production?"
Qi Yan blinked blankly. "Fast-food and standardized production were the Cold-Faced Lady's initial positioning. How is it a mistake?"
Rui Yuchen explained, "Actually, I didn't realize this problem at first. However, after Boss Pei made this personnel transfer to Zhang Yahui, I immediately thought of Fish-Catching Take-Out and the nameless restaurant. I immediately understood!"
"High-end restaurants and fast food have always complemented each other. Both are indispensable if you want to create a well-known brand."
"Turning these snacks into fast food can indeed ensure that people from all over the country can experience this taste. However, the problem is that as long as it's turned into fast food, it will definitely cause the taste to decrease."
"That's when a hidden danger appears. Perhaps many people will come to eat in high spirits, but after eating, they will be greatly disappointed, thinking that the taste here does not meet their expectations."
"Take Fish-Catching Take-Out for example. Its success is inseparable from the Gourmet Laboratory's new dishes. However, another important reason is that its high-end brand, Food Harmony, and many of its dishes are related to the nameless restaurant!
"It is positioned as the affordable version of the nameless restaurant. This way, Fish-Catching Take-Out's meals can be added with a 'high-end' attribute. Compared to other fast food restaurants, it can support a premium. At the same time, customers would not have too high expectations for Fish-Catching Take-Out's meals. Instead, they would look at it with a normal mindset.
"That way, the nameless restaurant and Fish-Catching Take-Out would complement each other and satisfy the different needs of customers."
"The current situation of the Cold-Faced Lady is actually lacking a department like the nameless restaurant."
"I've watched the documentary 'The Stalls'. It's indeed not bad, but this documentary will also have a certain negative impact. It will make the audience have unrealistic expectations for the Cold-Faced Lady's new dishes. They will think that since you filmed the documentary, the Cold-Faced Lady should be selling the same things as the ones in the documentary, right? "
"However, in reality, the Cold-Faced Lady is a fast food brand. It would definitely have to improve on the basis of the original recipe. In order to ensure mass production and standardized production, it would definitely lose some characteristics and details. Then, when customers really eat it, they would feel that it is different from the food in the documentary. That way, the psychological gap would appear. "
"This would be a hidden danger to the Cold-Faced Lady's reputation and actual dining experience."
Qi Yan nodded thoughtfully. "I see … So Boss Pei set up this snack market to play a similar role as the nameless restaurant. He wants to gather all the outstanding snack vendors in the country in Jingzhou and create an authentic snack food city in the country?"
"That way, the positioning of the snack market and the Cold-Faced Lady's shop would be different. One would focus on the original taste, while the other would focus on the taste of mass production and fast food."
"That way, customers would not have too high expectations for the Cold-Faced Lady's food. For those who pursue the ultimate taste, they would have to go to the Gourmet Market and not the Cold-Faced Lady."
"As expected of Boss Pei to have such a grasp of the customer's mentality!"
Rui Yuchen said, "I think Boss Pei's intentions are more than that."
"Actually, it's more or less a waste to let these vendors be in charge of the Gourmet Laboratory. What are the specialties of these vendors? Are they doing research? Actually, no. "
"Their specialties are in exploration. They have to interact with more customers and adjust the methods of their meals based on customer feedback. They might be able to come into contact with some customers in the Cold-Faced Lady's shop, but the range is too narrow after all. If they do not get enough feedback, they will not have enough motivation to explore. "
"Over time, the inspiration of these vendors might dry up. They would no longer have any value to the Gourmet Laboratory."
"However, transfer them to the snack market. They can continue to set up stalls based on their own interests. They can communicate with customers from all over the world at close range and continuously adjust and optimize the taste of snacks that they are good at."
"These precious experiences can be fed back to the Cold-Faced Lady's Gourmet Laboratory in real time to continuously improve the taste of the food."
"The advantage of the vendors is that they are grounded. They will immediately run out of inspiration if they leave the smoke and fire. The advantage of the laboratory researchers is that they can do detailed and standardized research. They can determine the best way to cook a certain food based on the recipes provided by the vendors."
"It's actually a waste to lock them all in the laboratory."
"On the other hand, Boss Pei's actions are actually to separate them so that the vendors can continue to set up their stalls and absorb inspiration from the vast number of customers. This inspiration can also be continuously provided to the Gourmet Laboratory. In fact, it did not delay the daily research work of the Gourmet Laboratory!"
"Boss Pei chose Zhang Yahui as the person-in-charge. On one hand, it's because he's a vendor himself. He would definitely be more professional in charge of the snack market. On the other hand, it must be because he has worked in the Cold-Faced Lady before. He's more familiar with you, so it's more convenient to communicate and cooperate."
Qi Yan was enlightened. "I see!"
"I didn't expect Boss Pei to have so many reasons behind such a simple personnel transfer."
"If that's the case, my previous idea about the Gourmet Laboratory might be right in the general direction, but I did not consider the details. Boss Pei saw the hidden dangers and problems of the Gourmet Laboratory. That's why he gave me some pointers! "
Rui Yuchen smiled slightly. "This is Boss Pei. You might think that he doesn't have much of a presence and is always busy with other departments. However, at a critical juncture, he can always grasp the crux of the project that everyone has overlooked through a magical operation and turn something rotten into something magical! "
Qi Yan asked, "What should I do now?"
Rui Yuchen smiled. "Of course, we'll completely follow Boss Pei's personnel transfer arrangements and fully cooperate with Zhang Yahui to do the snack market well!"
"Of course, you need to emphasize these details to Zhang Yahui again. That's because Boss Pei never likes to say too much when he assigns tasks. Zhang Yahui might not understand the deeper meaning of Boss Pei's arrangements. "
"Explain to Zhang Yahui clearly. There will be many opportunities for cooperation between the snack market and the Cold-Faced Lady in the future. It will also build a good foundation for future cooperation."
Qi Yan nodded. "I understand! Boss Pei has put in a lot of effort. Zhang Yahui and I must not let him down! "
Rui Yuchen could not help but nod slightly. It looked like the Cold-Faced Lady and Qi Yan were becoming more and more integrated into the Tengda family and understood Boss Pei's way of thinking.
What a joyous occasion!
…
In the afternoon, DGE E-Sports Club.
Chen Yufeng and Zhang Yuan were drinking tea in the conference room while chatting about the unofficial commentary of the ICL league.
Zhang Yuan was now in charge of Tengda's E-Sports Department. However, the GPL league was on the right track recently, so Zhang Yuan was not that busy. After handing his work to his subordinates, he often came to the DGE Club to relax and take a look at the training of his team members.
Today, Chen Yufeng came to look for Zhang Yuan to ask for a few people to help him with the unofficial commentary of the ICL league.
"I've considered looking for the other two commentators from FV Club. I've already informed Wu Yue that there are a few suitable candidates."
"What we lack now is a director, three professional observers, and a commentator in charge of controlling the scene."
"However, these people must have a deeper understanding of IOI. I wonder if there are any suitable candidates here."
That was because Bunny Tail Live-Stream was only in charge of broadcasting and not in charge of the competition. Thus, there was no need for a host, camera team, referee team, and so on.
The director was mainly responsible for coordinating the general direction of the entire broadcast process. The observer had to ensure that everything that happened in the game was shown to the audience in the most perfect state.
Bunny Tail Live-Stream required one to directly enter the game to watch the battle. There might be friction and collisions in several places on the huge game map at the same time. There were three professional observers. One was the main observer, one was in charge of staring at the exciting scenes and replays, and the last one had to pay attention to various details in advance and give the main observer a reminder.
This configuration was basically the standard for all competition broadcasters. If there was only one observer, they would definitely miss out on some exciting scenes and affect the audience's viewing experience.
Chen Yufeng's goal was to make Bunny Tail Live-Stream better than the official ICL league. Naturally, he could not be careless on such a key issue.
Zhang Yuan nodded. "That shouldn't be a big problem. The GPL has a rotation system. There are many people. It shouldn't be difficult to find three people who understand IOI from the observers. It's even easier to deal with the commentator in charge of controlling the scene. You can choose whichever one you like. "
Chen Yufeng said happily, "That's great! Actually, we just need to endure the initial period. We can recruit our own people in the future. "
Zhang Yuan shook his head. "There's no need for that. It's too wasteful. It's better to let the E-Sports Department train and manage such professionals. Just focus on operating the live-stream platform. "
Chen Yufeng nodded. "Yes, alright!"
According to Chen Yufeng's original idea, he would first 'borrow' a few directors, observers, and commentators from the E-Sports Department to support the scene in the early stages. However, it was definitely not appropriate to keep freeloading. He had to slowly groom new people and slowly take over the job of broadcasting the ICL league.
However, Zhang Yuan dispelled this idea.
The ICL league's broadcast was a matter of Bunny Tail Live-Stream and had nothing to do with Tengda's E-Sports Department. However, it was obviously a serious waste to have a competition director team on both sides. Zhang Yuan took over this job. It could save unnecessary expenses and ensure the effect of the ICL league's unofficial commentary.
Chen Yufeng stood up. "Sorry to trouble you! I'll book tickets tonight and make a trip to FV Club. I'll pick two or three reliable professional players to commentate. I'll try my best to arrange for an unofficial commentator for Sunday's competition! "
Zhang Yuan nodded. "Don't worry, I'll be able to find suitable candidates very soon. I'll let them adapt to IOI's competition. It'll definitely be fine before Sunday."
Chen Yufeng thanked him again and again. Then, he prepared to head to FV Club and choose two or three of the more eloquent professional players recommended by Wu Yue to be the unofficial commentators of the ICL league.
Originally, it was very difficult to be an unofficial commentator. Whether it was an observer or a commentator, they were all very professional things. If he did not do any details well, he would easily be pressed to the ground by the official platform.
However, with the strong support of Tengda's E-Sports Department and FV Club, Chen Yufeng realized that this matter was actually so simple. He could do it with just a few errands!
Chen Yufeng could not help but feel emotional. "Boss Pei is still the best. He's prepared for a rainy day and gets twice the results with half the effort!"
"If I hadn't set up the GPL league and invested in FV Club long ago, how could things have gone so smoothly?"
"Indeed, the height one stands at determines one's vision. Vision determines success or failure! Boss Pei is standing too high. It's hard not to succeed! "
