Liang Qingfan was stunned for a moment, then said, "President Pei, this matter seems a bit sudden. I need to consider it carefully..."

Pei Qian smiled and nodded, "Of course."

He turned to the driver, Xiao Sun, "Take Mr. Liang around Jingzhou these days to enjoy the local customs and scenery. Take Mr. Liang to Ming Yun Private Kitchen for a meal on the weekend and entertain him well for me."

Xiao Sun quickly said, "Okay, President Pei."

Pei Qian looked at Liang Qingfan again, "Mr. Liang, please rest and take a stroll around Jingzhou to gather some inspiration. All expenses in Jingzhou during this period will be borne by Tengda."

"At the end of the month, I will be opening more Sloth Apartments, and I will need your help then."

Liang Qingfan was a little overwhelmed, "No problem, President Pei!"

Being so appreciated, Liang Qingfan felt like he had met a patron.

As a young designer, what did he need most?

A stage, an opportunity!

Although the Gaoling Architectural Engineering Design Co., Ltd. where he worked was a first-class design company in China, and had Zhou Nanling, a big name in the industry, sitting in town, he could get many opportunities to participate in large-scale projects. However, as a young designer under thirty, he could only get very few large-scale projects that he was truly responsible for.

A good project is an opportunity, fame, and a stage to prove yourself for a designer. Without a good project, where can you display your talents, and who will know?

And President Pei had opportunities, many opportunities!

Moreover, Liang Qingfan vaguely felt that President Pei's views coincided with his own in some respects.

For example, President Pei is a person who pursues the ultimate.

As an architect, Liang Qingfan is proficient in many styles and is good at designing according to the needs of the owner. But the problem is that while listening to the needs, Liang Qingfan himself also has very deep thinking about art.

However, often this kind of thinking about art is not understood by people.

But President Pei was so satisfied with his design, and even poached him on the spot, which is enough to show that President Pei's understanding of artistic attainments is consistent with his own.

We are both the kind of character that pursues the ultimate!

Because of this, Liang Qingfan almost blurted out "I do."

Of course, agreeing on the spot like this seemed a bit unreserved and a bit hasty, so Liang Qingfan had to consider it symbolically for a few more days, and by the way, deal with the affairs of the original company before he could officially join Tengda.

Pei Qian wandered around the room and was very satisfied with all aspects.

The reason why he wanted to recruit Liang Qingfan was because he valued his understanding ability, which exceeded that of most Tengda employees.

Pei Qian felt that one of the important criteria for screening good employees now is to look at their degree of self-justification.

Good employees like Lu Mingliang, who rarely self-justify and do whatever President Pei tells them to do, are becoming increasingly rare!

In this designer Liang Qingfan, Pei Qian seemed to see the shadow of Lu Mingliang.

In order to meet the minimalist style as much as possible, he did not hesitate to cut off the storage space that ordinary people think is indispensable;

In order to spend every penny of the budget, he spent more than 200,000 to buy a limited edition TV in the country.

This all means that he will do everything possible to complete President Pei's requirements without too much self-justification.

At the same time, he is not very famous and will not attract too much attention; and he has a certain ability to ensure that he completes the tasks assigned by President Pei.

In short, the perfect candidate!

...

Three hours later, Pei Qian completed the move.

The original house was returned directly. Clothes and shoes were packed and moved to the new residence. All other unused items were left in the original rental house.

In short, just move in with a bag.

Xiao Sun ran around and helped Pei Qian move all the small amount of luggage to the new home and quickly cleaned it up.

Pei Qian didn't plan to pile up a bunch of messy things in the house. He only did three things here.

Sleep, play games, and eat snacks.

Wake up naturally every day, eat at the Moyu Internet Cafe Handong University branch, then go to the company for a walk around, and finally go home to eat snacks, drink beverages, and play games. It's simply a dreamlike life.

Of course, this building also needs a housekeeper and two cleaners.

The housekeeper is responsible for personnel management and helps with some chores. The cleaners regularly clean, wash clothes, and throw garbage like hotel services, and fill the large refrigerator with beverages and snacks.

Finally, there is the issue of publicity.

Ordinary rental houses only need to be posted online, and various real estate agents will immediately call like crazy, in short, all kinds of coaxing you to hand over the house to them.

They say all sorts of wonderful things, saying they want to help find tenants, but in fact, it's nothing more than to monopolize the supply of houses, so that tenants can't find personal sources of houses or contact the landlords, and can only obediently pay the agency fee.

Pei Qian doesn't plan to do any publicity for Sloth Apartments. This kind of good house is naturally for those who are destined to live in it. If you can't find it, it means you don't have the fate. How can I rent it to you?

Of course, no publicity does not mean absolute safety.

Pei Qian didn't do any publicity when he first started making games, but he was still found.

For the sake of stability, Pei Qian plans to observe for a month.

If no one asks about this house after a month, then it proves that his strategy is correct. At that time, he can boldly continue to buy buildings and transform them into Sloth Apartments, and take out some of the empty rooms to use as dormitories for employees!

...

...

May 6, Friday.

Moyu Takeaway's No. 1 independent store, which is also Moyu Takeaway's food research laboratory, officially opened.

Rui Yuchen stood at the door of the store, looking at the bustling crowd on the roadside, and had only one feeling.

I'm finally going to start making a big splash!

A month ago, President Pei personally instructed that Moyu Takeaway should no longer be attached to Moyu Internet Cafe, but should be completely independent and start expanding to major cities.

At the same time, a food laboratory should be established to enrich the menu.

Rui Yuchen immediately started preparing and laid out twenty stores.

Among these twenty stores, five are in Jingzhou, one of which is this Moyu Takeaway No. 1 store, which is also the food research laboratory; the other five are in other cities in Handong Province, such as Lincheng, Luzhou, etc.; the remaining 10 are opened in first-tier cities such as Didu, Modu, Yangcheng, and Pengcheng.

There is a big problem with opening stores in these strange cities, which is that the reach is too far. If there are no absolutely trusted candidates, the store will definitely not be able to open.

But fortunately, Moyu Takeaway has developed for nearly a year and already has many very loyal old employees. Rui Yuchen selected reliable new store managers from these old employees, and there were also travel subsidies, so many people immediately signed up enthusiastically.

After selecting the store managers for each branch, there was a series of operations to open the store, including finding shops, designing construction, soft decoration, applying for licenses, and recruiting employees locally.

These steps are very complicated. The Moyu Takeaway No. 1 store is in Jingzhou, and all the work is very familiar, so it only took a month to open.

Moyu Takeaway in other cities will definitely be slower, but it should be about the same in another month.

The initial investment of these 20 stores adds up to more than 3 million, and the monthly rent and labor costs add up to 600,000 to 700,000.

Rui Yuchen has carefully considered the location, decoration, store design, and tables, chairs, and equipment in the store, and chose high-quality ones in order not to embarrass Tengda.

But even so, the investment doesn't seem to be that much, mainly because all the stores are very small.

Because President Pei emphasized that Moyu Takeaway is always a takeaway brand, so there is no need for such a large store, just leave five or six seats for dine-in.

These 20 stores are just the initial test, and Rui Yuchen has even greater ambitions.

Anyway, President Pei said that no matter how much money is spent, he will cover it, so what is there to be afraid of?

Just go crazy!

Rui Yuchen analyzed that the Moyu Takeaway brand has never made money, but President Pei has never cared, which shows that President Pei doesn't care whether it can be profitable at all, but has other plans.

What is he planning?

Everyone's ultimate goal is definitely to make money, but some people have a long-term vision.

President Pei must be to quickly seize the market, burn money first, and then make money!

Including why Moyu Takeaway and Moyu Internet Cafe should be separated this time? It is because Moyu Internet Cafe has seriously restricted the expansion of Moyu Takeaway.

Therefore, Rui Yuchen felt that 20 stores were far from enough and had to open more.

These 20 stores are mainly to see how popular Moyu Takeaway is in different cities, so as to determine the direction and focus of the next investment.

Of course, this observation period may be relatively long, so don't rush it.

At the same time, Rui Yuchen did not forget President Pei's requirement to establish a food laboratory.

President Pei did not give clear instructions on how to do the so-called "food laboratory", but roughly said that this place is used to study various new flavors of meals, and at the same time provide customized fitness meals for the hosted gym.

Judging from the name, the laboratory should be a place isolated from the world.

But Rui Yuchen thought about it and felt it was inappropriate.

Ordinary laboratories study dangerous items or confidential projects, so they must be isolated from the world.

But the food laboratory studies food. If it is isolated from the world and far away from consumers, how can consumers taste the researched food in the first time?

Therefore, Rui Yuchen decided to simply transform the Moyu Takeaway No. 1 store into a food laboratory.

This store will not consider making money at all, but will only be used to test the latest food and collect customer feedback.

Of course, there are dedicated nutritionists and chefs here. After studying various novel dishes, they will use scientific methods to test the calories and various nutrients they contain, or vice versa, first determine the nutrients needed by the diners, and then reverse-match them into a set meal.

And now, a new dish is placed in front of Rui Yuchen.

This is the first product of the food laboratory, the fitness meal 2.0 specially for the hosted gym.

The fitness meals for the hosted gym were also provided by Moyu Takeaway before, but those fitness meals are no different from the fitness meals on the market. They are nothing more than a pile of various green vegetables, brown rice, chicken breast and other materials. They can provide enough nutrition and are healthy enough, but they are not delicious.

The food laboratory researches fitness meal 2.0 to solve the biggest pain point of fitness meals, which is that they are not delicious.
