Wednesday.
Pei Qian woke up and was hungry.
Open your phone and order Moyu takeout.
Although Mr. Pei’s money-losing plan has always been unsuccessful so far, one thing is that with his unremitting efforts, the living standards of himself and the people of Jingzhou have indeed improved a lot. .
If you buy something online, headwind logistics will deliver it to your door;
If you want to eat takeout, Moyu Takeout has healthy and nutritious dishes;
Not to mention Talk about the outstanding contributions Moyu Internet Cafe has made in improving the Internet environment.
To date, Moyu Takeaway has been operating stably for more than four months and is still in a state of loss.
Pei Qian is very satisfied with this.
It’s a pity that Moyu’s takeout stall is not big enough. Although it has been losing money steadily, it is not big enough.
After waiting for more than 20 minutes, the meal arrived.
Moyu Internet Cafe Handong University Store is very close to where Pei Qian lives, so the food delivery is relatively fast.
Pei Qian was eating while thinking about what to do next.
Now it seems that the pressure to spend money is quite high. In addition to the regular expenses, Pei Qian has to find other ways to continue spending money.
Looking at the exquisite tableware and familiar home-cooked dishes in front of him, Pei Qian suddenly felt that he could let takeout take on more of the burden of spending money?
After all, Moyu Takeout has won Mr. Pei’s trust with its stable losses.
"If that doesn't work, why don't you just drink some poison to quench your thirst?"
Pei Qian thought about it and decided to talk about the next cycle next time.
First of all, you must ensure that you are in a loss when you settle at the end of this month. After all, this is not just a matter of money, but also related to the special rewards given by the system.
As for what to do in the next cycle to earn back the capital and profits...
Then wait until the next cycle to develop more industries that burn money quickly.
In short, focus on the present first!
Thinking of this, Pei Qian took out his phone and looked at the calendar.
Today is October 13th. Until October 24th, you can continue to invest money in Moyu Internet Cafe and Headwind Logistics, but not on the 24th.
If you want to spend money in the last week, you have to rely on your own employees.
Tengda is now considered a big business, with more than 100 employees in the game business, including the terminal and TPDb website, more than 40 employees in Yangyang Games, and more than 100 employees in Moyu Internet Cafe. , there are about six to seven hundred courier boys from Headwind Logistics and takeaway boys from Moyu Takeout.
Of course, different industries must be treated differently. It is impossible to give the same benefits to employees in core departments like Tenda Games and courier boys.
If everyone has more hair, the pressure on Mr. Pei will be less.
But these benefits are also limited. What if you still can’t spend them all?
Pei Qian thought about itI thought, then I can only drink poison to quench my thirst and hold a reward event!
Pei Qian could not use this method during the last settlement, mainly because Mr. Pei’s only real industry at that time was Moyu Internet Cafe, and Moyu Internet Cafe became popular inexplicably before the settlement, which caught him off guard. Unable to resist.
But this time the money came earlier, and Pei Qian still had plenty of time to react.
Pei Qian looked at the time and fixed his gaze on October 24th.
1024 is Programmers’ Day, although this is not yet common.
Just like November 11th, people still generally regard it as "Singles' Day" rather than "hand-buying day".
Double Eleven will be the next cycle. Pei Qian will not be able to catch up, but 1024 is still in time.
Using this day to hold a week's worth of discounts and rewards, so that certain industries can work harder to make more losses, wouldn't it be able to greatly reduce Mr. Pei's pressure?
Thinking of this, Pei Qian felt that his future was a little brighter, and he quickly thought about the properties he had on hand.
The specific industries to choose must be carefully considered.
Games cannot be discounted because games have no cost. Reducing prices and discounting will definitely make more money, which is tantamount to suicide.
The ultimate goal is not promotion or popularity, but spending money unexpectedly.
So Pei Qian thought about it and decided that Moyu Internet Cafe and Headwind Logistics were the most suitable for this.
Especially Headwind Logistics, which is already losing money due to labor costs. If each Headwind Station delivers more express items during this period, and pays more performance wages to couriers, the little will add up. Wouldn’t it be possible to spend a lot of extra money?
Furthermore, even if you lose money, as long as it is controlled within a certain limit and can effectively improve your reputation, the system will acquiesce to this behavior.
After some simple testing of the system, Pei Qian quickly determined a subsidy plan for the 1024 Programmers' Day.
The first is the subsidy for Moyu takeout, with certain discounts on all dishes and no delivery fees.
The second is subsidies for headwind logistics.
Currently, Pei Qian has opened nearly 200 headwind stations, and it is expected that another forty or fifty will be added before the 24th, covering most areas of Jingzhou City.
When the time comes, those who use these headwind stations to send items will receive a reduction in express delivery fees, which are all subsidized by Pei Qian out of his own pocket.
At the same time, all door-to-door express parcels originally required a commission. During the event, this commission will be cancelled, attracting more couriers to hand over express parcels to Headwind Express for delivery.
You can also spend a lot of money by purchasing some small gifts together and delivering them to your door with courier.
Everyone else acts as a middleman to earn the price difference, but only Pei always acts as a middleman and pays the price difference.
Recently, we have started to carry out some simple publicity, and the activity lasts from October 24th toEnds on October 31st.
Pei Qian didn’t dare to promote it too high-profile. Although it cost a lot, it was also risky, so he couldn’t do it randomly.
Pei Qian very wisely set the date of salary payment at the end of each month, so that a large amount of employee funds can be issued before settlement and the system funds can be reduced as much as possible.
During the event, Pei Qian will also increase performance wages for all takeaway boys and couriers. For each additional takeout or courier delivery, they will receive additional bonuses.
Although it is not a lot to spread to everyone, after all, there are so many headwind stations and so many employees in Jingzhou City, so a lot of money can be spent at once.
As for the consequences...
Obviously during the 1024 Programmer Festival, there will be a certain growth in the number of users of Moyu Takeout and Headwind Logistics, but after all, these two industries have been losing money. Yes, the bigger the scale, the more you will lose, so don’t worry too much.
Moreover, even if you make a profit, it will be a matter of the next cycle.
This is also the reason why Pei Qian dare not rashly touch other industries. He cannot drastically reduce the price of Internet cafes or make them free, nor can he give discounts to games, because the risks and side effects of doing so are too great.
Pei Qian made a rough plan and felt that this matter was very promising, so he was going to call Lu Mingliang and Ma Yang, hoping to call them together to briefly discuss the matter.
Soon, Lu Mingliang’s call got through.
"Do you have time today? Come to the Handong University store of Moyu Internet Cafe. I have a promotional event here about Moyu Internet Cafe and Headwind Logistics."
Lu Mingliang said Stunned: "Mr. Pei, I'm right here at the Handong University Store."
Pei Qian: "Ah?"
"What are you doing there?"
Lu Mingliang: "Mr. Ma asked me to come here. We are discussing the details of the installation business."
Pei Qian: "???"
I was a little confused for a moment. force.
What the hell? What is the installation business?
"Then wait a minute, I'll be there right away!"
Pei Qian quickly dressed up, wrapped himself tightly in a thick coat and scarf, and prepared to go out.
Fortunately, the cold is not serious. It got better after a day of rest yesterday. The weather is good today, the sun is very bright, and there is no wind. It should be fine if I go out.
Besides, at this critical moment, how can Xiao Chao stop Mr. Pei’s spending plan!
I made a phone call and the company’s car came to pick me up quickly.
……
Moyu Internet Cafe Handong University Store.
Not long after the phone call with Lu Mingliang, Pei Qian arrived.
Seeing Mr. Pei wrapped up tightly, the three of them were a little confused.
"Mr. Pei, what are you..." Lu Mingliang remembered that you weren't like this the last time you saw Mr. Pei?
Pei Qian pressed the scarf down slightly and saidThe words had a nasal tone: "I have a cold."
"Brother Qian, you have a cold and you haven't taken good care of yourself! I have to criticize you for this. You can't just be busy working, and you don't pay too much attention to your health! "Ma Yang called to the waiter next to him, "Brother Qian, give me a cup of hot water."
Pei Qian: "...No, I'm almost vomiting from the hot water. Give me some coffee." /p>
Pei Qian looked at the host on the table and keenly saw the difference between it and the previous Moyu Internet Cafe host.
There is a glowing sign above!
Pei Qian instantly felt that this matter was not simple.
Okay, you three are doing something secretly again! Fortunately I found it in time!
Pei Qian was speechless. If I hadn’t been dragging my body and still thinking about losing money, I might have been fooled again!
Ma Yang chuckled: "Brother Qian, I originally planned to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect you to find out."
"This time Zhang Yuan and I considered , we need to rely on Moyu Internet Cafe and Headwind Logistics to develop a custom assembly host business..."
Ma Yang briefly introduced the past and present of the birth of the ROF brand.
In short, "Return to the Shore" has brought many wealthy people who have high requirements for computer configurations to Internet cafes. The wealthy people objectively have the desire to buy the same high-end computers. Zhang Yuan, as a computer installation hobby The reporter saw this business opportunity and decided to start a host customization business, cooperate with the distribution and door-to-door services of Headwind Logistics, and open up a new industry.
The investment in this matter is not big. Each computer can earn from 500 to 1,000 yuan. Zhang Yuan and the network managers of the Internet cafe only need to buy the accessories from the Internet, assemble them, deliver them to customers, and bear the responsibility. After-sales service is enough and does not require a large capital investment.
Even if they can't do it, there won't be any loss, because Zhang Yuan and the others don't plan to buy a lot of spare parts and stockpile them. They will only place orders when the rich demand it.
After listening to Ma Yang's story, Pei Qian fell into silence.
If you really do this, you can definitely make money!
Hey Ma Yang, this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes is going to betray me too!
But on second thought, the blame no longer seems to lie with Ma Yang, after all, Ma Yang was too easily fooled.
The blame must be on Zhang Yuan!
It seems that Zhang Yuan must be transferred away from Ma Yang as soon as possible to eliminate hidden dangers!
Pei Qian looked at the "ROF first generation prototype" on the table again.
Don’t tell me, this thing still sounds promising. If you really keep going like this, maybe you can make a little profit and give Mr. Pei a surprise attack before the settlement.
Pei Qian couldn't help but feel happy secretly.
"I was almost fooled, what a risk."
"Fortunately, I was prepared this time!"
Pei Qian was not angry, but rather thankful.
Okay, since you like starting a business so much, then help me.Help me pay more!
This project was supposed to make money, but now that Pei Qian has discovered and targeted it, it is impossible to let it make money!
Seeing Mr. Pei smiling and saying nothing, Ma Yang didn't know for a moment whether he supported this project or not.
"Brother Qian, what do you think of this project? Is it successful?" Ma Yang asked.
Pei Qian nodded: "I think it's good, but there is a problem."
"It's too little money!"
"It's a small matter. It’s not interesting. If you want to do it, just do it big. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have money, I’ll pay for it!”
Zhang Yuan was stunned, not knowing whether to be happy or not.
"Of course it's good to have Mr. Pei's support, but...it doesn't cost anything..."
Zhang Yuan was thinking, isn't it just to sell the assembly machine and put a brand on it? Many online stores are doing this, and it doesn’t require much start-up capital.
Now even if Mr. Pei allocates several million, Zhang Yuan doesn’t know how to spend it.
Pei Qian shook his head: "You are just too conservative! You don't even have any imagination when it comes to spending money, so how can you do that?"
