After dinner.

Pei Qian, as usual, arranged for the driver to send Qiao Laoshi away, while he stayed in the private room to chat with Lin Canrong.

This conversation felt a little heavy for President Pei.

Ming Yun Private Kitchen was already a hit, and it was too late to remedy the situation. He could only give Lin Canrong a few words of advice, hoping to prevent the situation from getting any worse.

The dining table in the private room had been cleared. Lin Canrong sat opposite Pei Qian, a smile on his face.

Lin Canrong had been extremely busy lately.

Ever since Ming Yun Private Kitchen became popular, all the lunch and dinner reservations had been fully booked, with slots even scheduled for the week after next.

He used to be bored to death, but now he was working himself to death.

Every day, he had to order ingredients according to the reservation records, prepare the private rooms and tables for the customers' reserved ingredients, coordinate the work of the waiters, and handle all kinds of emergencies…

Fortunately, Ming Yun Private Kitchen had enough chefs and waiters to begin with, and those who had been recruited were all well-trained, so they didn't feel too overwhelmed.

Although he was very busy, Lin Canrong enjoyed it and felt that his value was being fully realized.

President Pei had entrusted such a good restaurant to him, and of course he couldn't let down President Pei's expectations. He had to make it more and more popular, and even make it the best catering brand in Jingzhou City!

Fortunately, although there were more customers dining, the original plan didn't include many private kitchen spots, so these people could still handle it.

Speaking of which, Lin Canrong admired President Pei's foresight even more.

Before, Ming Yun Private Kitchen was deserted and no one came. President Pei asked Lin Canrong to be responsible for the restaurant's essential work and not pay too much attention to publicity.

And now, it had become popular within two weeks!

Fortunately, Lin Canrong listened carefully and focused all his work on the restaurant's kitchen and service, ensuring a high level of dining experience, which allowed Ming Yun Private Kitchen's reputation to remain very high.

President Pei's advice this time should also be a very forward-looking suggestion.

Pei Qian sipped his tea and said lightly, "There's nothing important, just a few simple reminders."

"In terms of ingredients, never use inferior ones. Don't think that customers won't notice if you cut corners a little on the ingredients. Treat every customer as a food connoisseur."

"The number of seats in the restaurant must not be increased. Keep the current number of seats."

"And don't do things like prohibiting outside drinks, setting minimum consumption in private rooms, or charging extra for disinfecting tableware."

"I said these things at the beginning, and I'm emphasizing them again now."

"As you know, all of our company's projects, including Ming Yun Private Kitchen, are now awarding bonuses based on reputation."

Pei Qian felt that it was necessary to emphasize these points again.

What if Lin Canrong was blinded by money and thought about adding a few more seats, or imposing some overbearing terms such as prohibiting outside drinks or setting minimum consumption in private rooms, wouldn't that make even more money?

There was only a little over a month left until the settlement, and the current Ming Yun Private Kitchen was already a burden to President Pei. The burden must not be increased any further!

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to lose money at that time, and he would really want to spit blood.

Lin Canrong hurriedly nodded: "I understand, President Pei, you're afraid that I'll care too much about making money and affect Ming Yun Private Kitchen's reputation."

"President Pei, don't worry, I will definitely keep this in mind and always put customer reputation first!"

Pei Qian nodded: "...Okay."

Although Lin Canrong didn't understand his real intention, the result was the same...

The situation of Ming Yun Private Kitchen was already like this, and Pei Qian didn't have any better way to deal with it. As long as it didn't get worse, he would be thankful.

"There's nothing else, you can go and get busy. I'll go to the nearby Moyu Internet Cafe to take a stroll."

Pei Qian left Ming Yun Private Kitchen and came outside the villa.

It was getting dark, and Pei Qian looked back at the brightly lit Ming Yun Private Kitchen. For some reason, he felt unspeakably sad.

How uncomfortable!

Pei Qian sighed silently, preparing to leave Ming Yun Villa and go to the nearby Moyu Internet Cafe to sit down and have a cup of coffee.

Now only the quiet and peaceful Moyu Internet Cafe could soothe his injured soul.

He had just taken two steps when he heard someone call out, "President Pei?"

Pei Qian was stunned. He turned around and saw Manager Cui, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

This was the project marketing manager of Ming Yun Villa. When Pei Qian bought this villa before, Manager Cui personally led him to see the house.

Manager Cui seemed pleasantly surprised to see Pei Qian: "What a coincidence, President Pei, to run into you here! I was just thinking about when I could pay you a visit and thank you in person!"

Pei Qian was stunned: "Thank me?"

Manager Cui laughed and said, "Yes, President Pei, of course I have to thank you properly!"

"Look, this is our new promotional slogan for Ming Yun Villa."

Manager Cui tapped his phone a few times and opened a pdf image, which contained Ming Yun Villa's new marketing materials.

Pei Qian took the phone in a daze.

When he bought the house before, Pei Qian had also seen the promotional materials for Ming Yun Villa.

These promotional materials were nothing more than a few pictures of the villa area's houses and scenery, along with some promotional slogans.

For example: "Original scenery, natural formation";

"True villas are treasured among real mountains and real waters";

"Villa in the villa area, leading a new fashion";

"Sunny and beautiful weather to move into a ready-to-live building, with rising value in sight", and so on.

In short, Pei Qian thought that the previous promotional materials were all very虚 (xū, empty/hollow), just fancy ways to boast about how good the villa area was, and he never took it seriously.

But the new promotional materials on Manager Cui's phone were completely different from before!

"Ming Yun Villa, leading Jingzhou's new business district";

"Away from the hustle and bustle, yet close to the prosperity within reach";

"The nameless restaurant is right in your backyard";

"Enjoy Northern and Southern cuisine, meet Jingzhou's celebrities"...

Moreover, the pictures on the materials were also completely different from before!

In addition to the original pictures of villas and scenery, many photos about Ming Yun Private Kitchen and the surrounding business environment had been added!

One was: "Jingzhou's new business district."

The picture showed various shops near Ming Yun Villa, such as Internet cafes, bars, chess and card rooms, coffee shops, etc., which seemed very lively.

Another was: "A five-star divine restaurant that is popular on the public review, the nameless restaurant, is located here!"

The picture showed Ming Yun Private Kitchen's page on the public review, as well as some photos of the interior of Ming Yun Private Kitchen.

There was also one called: "Be neighbors with Jingzhou's celebrities."

The picture showed various luxury cars parked near Ming Yun Private Kitchen, as well as some group photos of well-dressed successful people.

Pei Qian felt a little dizzy.

What's going on!

Perhaps because it was getting late, Manager Cui didn't notice that President Pei's face was a little pale at all, and said excitedly: "President Pei, these advertisements have all been launched, and we should see results within a week or two!"

"This time, our boss also spent a lot of money, buying advertising space in newspapers, TV stations, real estate brochures, magazines, buses, subways, real estate sales websites, and billboards in the center of Jingzhou City!"

Pei Qian was even more dizzy.

What the hell?

Bought advertising space in so many places?

Wait a minute, aren't the villas in this place impossible to sell?

I did a special investigation when I bought it before, didn't you say that the villas in this place have no investment value and the cost performance is very poor?

Why are you suddenly promoting it so aggressively?

And even if you promote it, don't drag my restaurant into it! !

Pei Qian panicked a little: "Aren't you afraid of losing money by spending so much money on promotion..."

Manager Cui laughed: "President Pei, you're joking, don't you know whether we'll lose money or not?"

"To be honest, when you first wanted to buy this villa, I didn't think so much. I thought you just bought it for vacation."

"It wasn't until later that I realized that you are really brilliant!"

Manager Cui excitedly gave a thumbs up.

"The reputation of this nameless restaurant has spread, and now it has become the most popular high-end restaurant in Jingzhou! I heard that reservations are already scheduled two weeks in advance, and it is simply impossible to get a spot!"

"Many big bosses in Jingzhou have to make reservations in advance if they want to eat here!"

"But many bosses think that it is troublesome to run back and forth for business banquets. Their guests have come from afar, and it is too much trouble to take a car so far just to eat a meal and go back."

"So, many bosses have come to see the houses, wanting to buy a villa specifically to receive distinguished guests from afar, and they can usually come and live in it themselves."

"Of course, this is not their only reason for buying a house. They also value the potential for appreciation here!"

"Recently, the investment circles in Jingzhou have been spreading the word that this area will be Jingzhou's new business district in the future!"

"Many people have already heard the news and taken action. The shops outside were originally closed one by one, but now, they have all been rented or bought!"

"These are all good omens. The attention of the entire Jingzhou City has gathered here, and the house prices here will naturally rise."

"Our boss has decided to raise the prices of all the unsold villas and never sell them cheaply again!"

"President Pei, your villa will definitely appreciate in value at that time. It will be easy to increase from six million to ten million, absolutely no problem!"

Pei Qian's legs went weak and he almost knelt down.

Increase to ten million? ? ?

That would be a big deal!

Pei Qian almost vomited blood. Who said this is Jingzhou's new business district? Who?

There are no shops outside, wasn't that all I tricked President Li into doing?

Wait a minute, President Li...

Pei Qian suddenly realized a problem. Li Shi is the boss of Fuhui Capital and is indeed very influential in Jingzhou's investment circle.

He had been frantically investing and opening shops near Ming Yun Villa a while ago.

This time, Ming Yun Private Kitchen became popular, and President Li must be paying attention to this matter!

In other words, President Li will definitely think that Ming Yun Private Kitchen is President Pei's backhand, and is the key chess piece to make Ming Yun Villa and this area popular!

Then, according to President Li's personality, he will definitely seize this opportunity and continue to invest money here...

Pei Qian felt very bad.

He originally thought that Ming Yun Private Kitchen becoming popular was the worst news, but now it seems that it is not!

If this area really becomes popular, it will definitely affect Moyu Internet Cafe and the surrounding shops.

Moreover, it will also increase the value of the villa!

Could this be the legendary misfortune never comes singly...?

Pei Qian silently handed the phone back to Manager Cui, and his whole person fell into a state of shock.

Manager Cui didn't know that President Pei was struck by the sudden bad news. He thought that these were all within President Pei's expectations, so President Pei was so calm.

"President Pei, our boss said that he will definitely visit to thank you someday. You have helped us a lot this time, and we must show our appreciation."

"In terms of publicity, we will definitely promote Ming Yun Villa and your nameless restaurant together, so that your restaurant's popularity will reach a new level."

"In addition, the property fees and cleaning fees for your villa will be permanently waived, and the water and electricity fees will also be permanently discounted by 50%."

"We will also give you a few parking spaces for free."

"And, we will hire a professional gardening team to trim the garden in the backyard of your villa and send someone to take care of it regularly."

"Of course, these are small money for you and not worth mentioning, but this is also our intention."

"In short, you will be our most distinguished owner of Ming Yun Villa and our eternal friend of Ming Yun Villa!"
