To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 628 Do you know the gap between you and Mr. Pei?

For a working class with a monthly salary of 5000 yuan, let him spend 1500 to rent a house, or 2000 to rent a house. He can't say "can't afford to rent", but he will definitely compare.

At present, the direct competitor of Sloth Apartment is the newly launched "An Xin Fang" business of Jujia Group.

Jujia Group is a very influential housing agency across the country. Many people will choose houses under Jujia’s banner when renting a house. People are less likely.

In the past two years, Zhujia Group also saw the increasing demand of young people for the living environment, so it launched the "safe house" business, which means signing a contract with the landlord to rent some old houses with relatively dilapidated decoration, decorating them themselves, and then upgrading them. Some rentals are leased to tenants.

These are also well-decorated houses with complete furniture and appliances, and the overall appearance is good. Although they are more expensive than other houses, well-decorated means that they are comfortable to live in, so this business has developed well.

Compared with the Sloth Apartment, although the overall decoration and furniture of Jujia Group’s Anxin House are more than one grade lower, it does not have so many rules, and the price is much cheaper. In the eyes of working-class people with low incomes , is obviously more suitable for the needs of the public.

The monthly rent is increased from 1500 to 2000, and the annual rent will cost 6000 more. You can buy a new mobile phone for yourself. This price difference is still very obvious to most people.

Moreover, Pei Qian smelled a hint of navy in these messages.

Jujia Group also has a large number of stores in Jingzhou, and each store has many intermediary employees.

The sloth apartment launched by Tenda is also a rental business, which is in direct competition with their "safe house" business. It is impossible for Jujia Group to watch the sloth apartment gain popularity without being indifferent.

You don't even need to hire a special navy, just force the employees of all stores in Jingzhou to search for similar posts, and pretend to be passers-by to speak below.

Although these people don't understand, after all, 24 hours of high-intensity replying can make a lot of noise on the Internet, muddy the water, and create an illusion that "most people are dissatisfied with the sloth apartment".

In short, from the point of view of online public opinion, most of the customers attracted by the promotional video of Sloth Apartment were persuaded to leave.

But even so, some people have overcome all difficulties and signed a rental contract to live in the sloth apartment.

The house on the top floor of Building No. 8 in Binhu District, which is also the house where Chen Lei filmed the MV, was rented out on the spot by one of his fanatical female fans.

Because the scenery seen in this house is exactly the same as in the MV, it is very suitable for taking pictures and posting to Moments.

Obviously, the main purpose of this customer renting the house on the top floor was not to live in it, but to chase stars.

Sit on the sofa that Chen Lei once sat on, it's worth it!

After Pei Qian learned about this from the housekeeper of this building, he couldn't laugh or cry.

It can only be said that the star chasing of rich people is so simple and boring.

"Hey, after all, Chen Lei has a lot of fans, so this kind of thing seems inevitable."

"However, if there are only a few houses, the impact on the money-losing model of the sloth apartment will not be great."

Although Chen Lei's influence may indeed make some people come to chase after stars, it is actually not a big problem.

The point is to rent, not buy.

If this house is sold, many people may buy it for star chasing. After all, the house can be resold after it is bought, it can preserve its value, and it can be rented out on its own. It is a good deal no matter what.

But this house is only rented and not sold, and subletting is strictly prohibited. If you chase stars like this girl and don’t live on your own, it means that the monthly rent will be thrown away, and the house does not belong to you.

Therefore, Pei Qian felt that even if someone chased stars because of this MV, it shouldn't affect the overall situation.

What's more, the commercial and residential building in Shundong Garden, as well as the Shuguang Daping floor in the city where I live, have no tenants.

Pei Qian walked around and came to a conclusion: Although the current attention of the sloth apartment is skyrocketing, it is still safe for the time being, and you can observe it again.

So he went home by car and took a nap in peace.

……

In the afternoon, the Palpitation Hostel.

Li Shi and other investors gathered together for a meeting.

It's been doing pretty well since The Thriller's opened.

The preliminary publicity work was very sufficient, attracting a large number of young people from Jingzhou and even Handong Province; and the various interesting projects in the Thrilling Hostel have also continued to have an excellent reputation.

But the problem is, it doesn't seem to be that popular.

For investors such as Li Shi, the Jingpal Hotel can only be regarded as a normal profit state at present. The income from related supporting industries plus the profit from the products sold in the Golden Maze can cover the daily expenses of the Jingpal Hostel.

However, it is still far away to recover the cost of investment.

This kind of heat can be regarded as soup at best.

Although everyone is used to drinking soup with Boss Pei, the problem is, Boss Pei doesn't seem to be making any money this time, does he?

To be precise, the current situation is that Mr. Pei is drinking soup, and the others are just smelling the aroma.

To this day, the Palpitation Hostel project has not met everyone's expectations.

Therefore, the investors gathered spontaneously and called Mr. Li over to discuss countermeasures together.

"Mr. Li, according to the current income, it will take a long time to recover the investment of the entire project. I can't wait!"

"Yes, Mr. Li, you should quickly think of a solution? Do you want to stop urging Mr. Pei? Mr. Pei must have another trick!"

"Or do we want to do it ourselves?"

"What do you want? No way! I have been observing the situation of the Shocking Hostel for a while, and I found that it is not very optimistic. Although this project can be experienced many times, there will always be times when it gets boring. At present, there are not enough tourists in the country. Most people don't want to go to Jingzhou just for a haunted house. So in the short term, there is no possibility of making a lot of money!"

"Could it be that Boss Pei miscalculated? Did the car overturn?"

"Boss Pei reminded us that this project may not make money, is it serious?"

Investors chattered and panicked.

Because the investment in Scary Hostel is too large, the current profit can only be said to offset the operating costs. After recovering all the initial investment, it will be called real money!

If the initial investment cannot be recovered, it is not called a profit, but a blood loss.

Li Shi listened to the discussions of other investors and remained silent.

The current situation of the Palpitation Hostel project did not satisfy him.

Everyone can feel that there seems to be a little distance from "okay" to "hot".

But it is this little distance, but it can't be reached.

Is there a problem with the project itself?

No problem, Escape, Nightmare, Ultimate Horror, Golden Maze, Healing Fountain, Maid Coffee... These are all very good, and the feedback from tourists is also good.

Now with the Tenda Life APP, the problem of queuing is also solved. You can use the APP while queuing to eat, go shopping, and go shopping in the Golden Maze. The experience of tourists has been greatly improved.

Is it a matter of publicity?

The publicity seems to be in place, whether it is in Jingzhou or in the whole country, many people already know about the Thrilling Hostel.The publicity arranged by Mr. Pei, including the shared phone booth and Qiao Laoshi's video, have already worked.

After thinking about it, I really can't think of what is missing, so that the Jingji Hostel can't go from "ok" to "hot".

Or, as some investors said, Mr. Pei is not omnipotent, and he failed to calculate all the situations?

Li Shi obviously would not agree with this statement.

After all the investors finished complaining, Li Shi tapped on the table lightly: "Okay, please be quiet."

"Do you think Mr. Pei miscalculated on the Jingpal Hotel project?"

"Then you are too impatient."

"How long has it been since Jingji Hotel opened? It's only been less than two months! You only saw that many of Mr. Pei's projects became popular when they went online, and mistakenly thought that Jingji Hotel would do the same."

"Didn't you find out? In fact, many of Mr. Pei's projects became popular after persisting for a long enough time!"

"It's like Moyu takeaway, which has been losing money for more than a year. Not only did Mr. Pei not cut off this project, but he continued to invest money in it. Finally, he started to soar through the garbage classification in Jingzhou!"

"Now, the future of fish delivery is immeasurable!"

"If Boss Pei was as restless as you guys, and gave up after two months of losses, how could he be successful today? What's more, Jingpal Hostel is not losing money now, but making money at a slower rate."

"Do you know the gap between you and Mr. Pei?"

"Everyone is engaged in investment, so they don't understand this truth, do they?"

The investors were all quiet after being taught a lesson by Mr. Li.

Indeed, anyone who knows a little about investment knows that it is meaningless to look at the short-term when investing, and only look at the long-term.

It's just that Mr. Pei's investment myths are too many, so the psychological expectations of these investors have been constantly raised. When the Panic Hostel is not popular, they lose their patience.

Now that Mr. Li has taught him a lesson, everyone has calmed down.

An investor coughed twice: "Mr. Li, yes, what you said is very reasonable. We are indeed a little anxious. But we are doing this for everyone's benefit. Who doesn't want the Jingji Hotel to become more popular and make more money? Woolen cloth?"

"Mr. Li, you told us to hold our breath and wait. Indeed, we should trust Mr. Pei, but isn't it too passive to wait like this?"

Other investors also nodded: "That's right, Mr. Li, this is too passive, why don't we think of a way to promote it, even if we spend a little more money?"

Li Shi was silent for a moment, then looked around at everyone: "Spend some more money? Are you willing?"

The investors continued to nod: "Willing!"

They paused for a moment, and then added: "Of course... how to spend it, we have to discuss it again."

Li Shi nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the attitude of these investors.

In any case, everyone's interests have been deeply bound together by the project of Scary Hostel. No one wants to be a deserter, and they are even willing to continue to pay for publicity.

This is a good thing.

Only those who firmly believe in Mr. Pei and follow him all the time are eligible to drink soup.
