The three bribed waiters conspired to give him false information and trick him, and not a single one of them tipped him off?
The probability of that is not high.
After all, these waiters are not related to President Pei; they're just the lowest-level employees. How could they be so loyal?
Most importantly, based on his overall assessment of President Pei's behavior, Li Shi believed that this information was highly likely to be true.
What has President Pei been doing recently?
He hasn't been staying at the flagship store; instead, he's been running to the Ming Yun Mountain Villa branch every other day!
Moreover, Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan are also stationed at Ming Yun Mountain Villa.
All of this is enough to show that President Pei's energy has indeed shifted to this side.
President Pei has so many industries under his control and is usually very busy. If he didn't have a plan or a scheme for this area, how could he waste so much time here?
Just to release false information and play with Li Shi?
That's impossible; President Pei isn't such a bored person.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the probability of this information being true is extremely high. President Pei is really focusing the next stage of Moyu Internet Cafe's development on the Ming Yun Mountain Villa branch. He's already prepared a backup plan and is confident in stirring up the market environment in this area!
Thinking of this, Li Shi felt a little excited.
Jingzhou City is, after all, only a second-tier city, and good investment opportunities are scarce.
Last time, Li Shi spent money on a promotional event, hoping to cut off Moyu Internet Cafe's customer traffic so that the investment could be achieved as soon as possible, but he lost money.
Fortunately, he didn't lose much, because shortly after the burning started, Moyu Internet Cafe's flagship store became a hit, and Li Shi stopped burning money.
What's more, after the Moyu Internet Cafe flagship store became popular, it drove the traffic of the entire street, and other stores also benefited more or less.
This time, Li Shi certainly wouldn't try to invest in Moyu Internet Cafe; he knew that was just wishful thinking.
But even so, he can still do something with the information he has now.
For example, arrange things in advance in the Ming Yun Mountain Villa area!
The popularity of Moyu Internet Cafe's flagship store has boosted the surrounding commercial environment, increasing customer traffic for nearby cafes, bars, internet cafes, etc., and even increasing the rent for popular shops nearby.
From this point of view, President Pei's claim to revitalize the commercial environment near Ming Yun Mountain Villa may not be bragging.
If so, what if he started laying things out near Ming Yun Mountain Villa now?
For example, investing in a few restaurants, cafes, bars, internet cafes, board game rooms in this area…
Anyway, just open one or two casually, and when the commercial environment improves, these stores can make money.
Even if Li Shi doesn't plan to operate them himself, as long as he sells them off at that time, someone will naturally take over. Just by reselling them, he might make a fortune!
The more Li Shi thought about it, the happier he became. This is the role of intelligence!
Although this President Pei is very young, his vision and marketing skills are top-notch. Following in his footsteps is sure to be right!
As for how much to invest…
Li Shi thought about it: invest more, earn more; invest less, earn less.
But as an investor, he definitely can't put all his eggs in one basket.
Then invest in one high-end internet cafe, one cafe, one board game room, etc.
In terms of location selection, high-end internet cafes and board game rooms should be closer to the university, after all, college students are the main consumer group, and they can also intercept Moyu Internet Cafe's customers.
Of course, Li Shi certainly wouldn't run these stores himself. He still had to use his connections to persuade the owners of those chain internet cafes he invested in to find someone to open branches here, using the most trendy internet cafe model.
Then Li Shi can invest the money.
Since he's already determined that he can't invest in Moyu Internet Cafe, Li Shi can only settle for second best and invest in others.
When the time comes, he can follow President Pei and get a share of the profits. This resale is sure to earn him a lot!
……
……
Pei Qian didn't know exactly who wanted to buy the intelligence about the Ming Yun Mountain Villa branch, but it didn't matter; anyone who wants to buy it can buy it.
The intelligence that Pei Qian deliberately released was indeed false intelligence, but it seemed even more real than the real intelligence…
Pei Qian's real purpose was actually very simple.
It was to deliberately create the illusion that "the area around the Ming Yun Mountain Villa branch is about to become popular" to attract more people to invest here.
Whether it's opening an internet cafe, a restaurant, or a cafe, wouldn't that divert Moyu Internet Cafe's customer traffic?
The Ming Yun Mountain Villa branch has been losing money because there's too little traffic in this area, the occupancy rate of the Ming Yun Mountain Villa villas is low, there aren't many students from Jiaotong University's East Campus, and it's not that close.
It's already miserable enough as it is. If a few more stores come to divert customer traffic, then the Ming Yun Mountain Villa branch will definitely lose even more money!
As for who will be the unlucky one…
Then it can only be whoever is willing to take the bait. Who told you to inquire about Moyu Internet Cafe's intelligence with malicious intent?
Moreover, you didn't even buy the intelligence from President Pei, so President Pei didn't get a penny. This will definitely be noted in the little notebook, and you'll be ripped off severely!
There shouldn't be any feedback on this matter in the short term. After all, opening a store in this area will take at least a month to prepare.
Therefore, Pei Qian didn't pay attention to this matter for the time being and continued to work on other things.
The Against-the-Wind Post Station has been planned almost completely. The location of each post station has been quickly determined, mainly in some residential areas.
It's not yet possible to cover the entire Jingzhou City, but it has already covered a large part.
Recently, he has been busy recruiting people, purchasing shelves, renovating, etc. If he's optimistic, in another week or so, Pei Qian can go to the first Against-the-Wind Post Station for an inspection.
In addition to this, there's another thing, which is the high-end catering that Pei Qian had been considering repeatedly.
Swan Lake Restaurant can no longer meet Pei Qian's team building dining requirements. He must tailor a special restaurant specifically for the purpose of spending money in a hurry.
During this time, Pei Qian also considered the location and specific details of this restaurant.
Just the problem of location selection gave Pei Qian a headache.
He originally wanted to choose a location in a relatively remote business district, but he still felt that it wasn't stable enough.
Because now, review websites have appeared, and the internet is very developed. It's difficult to hide such an expensive restaurant.
Pei Qian couldn't possibly turn such a high-end restaurant into an internal canteen exclusively for employees; the system wouldn't agree.
This high-end restaurant must be open to all consumers in Jingzhou City.
Of course, ordinary consumers certainly can't afford it, but if a real tycoon wants to come and eat, Pei Qian can't rudely turn them away.
If it's in Jingzhou City, such as Guangming District or Lincheng District, then if this restaurant is really discovered, it will cover the high-end population of an entire district.
After all, it's the only high-end restaurant in the entire Jingzhou, and everyone doesn't mind traveling a bit further for an occasional meal.
In this way, it may not necessarily make a profit, but it will always lose less.
Therefore, Pei Qian thought about it. The place should be as far away from the city center as possible, and the more remote the location, the better.
Anyway, the fewer customers, the better!
After choosing and choosing, he found that the most suitable location had already been seen before.
It's the location of Moyu Internet Cafe's Ming Yun Mountain Villa branch…
