Chapter 11 The All-Encompassing Benefits

It was 11 AM at City Dawn Apartments.

Li Shi strolled to the concierge room on the first floor.

"Oh? President Li!" Song Kai greeted him enthusiastically upon seeing him.

The current President Li was more than just a resident of Sloth Apartments.

He was also President Pei’s good friend and partner, and the one who had successfully deciphered the underlying meaning of Sloth Apartments, instantly making it a hit!

Even Song Kai, the person in charge of Sloth Apartments, hadn't realized that President Pei's deeper meaning was this.

Therefore, Song Kai now had great respect for President Li, treating him as President Pei's close confidant.

"President Li, you seem to be in a good mood today?" Song Kai noticed Li Shi's rosy complexion and cheerful face.

Li Shi nodded with a smile: "Indeed. By the way, how are things going with Sloth Apartments recently?"

"You should have seen Old Qiao’s video, right?"

Song Kai said happily: "Of course, I saw it! That video has gone viral online! It was uploaded late last night, and now it's been pushed to the top spot on Ellie Island’s homepage. The popularity is terrifying."

"Thanks to you and Old Qiao, Sloth Apartments will be snatched up soon! The two buildings in Binhu District are already full, and more than half of the commercial and residential building has been rented out. I wouldn’t have dared to dream of this before!"

Li Shi smiled slightly: "This is what they mean by ‘When the time comes, heaven and earth will work together,’ having luck on your side once is luck; but if luck is always on your side, that's destiny!"

"What’s more, only ten percent of President Pei's success is due to luck; the remaining ninety percent is the result of careful planning and strategy."

Song Kai deeply agreed.

In his opinion, Sloth Apartments was originally a business model that was completely unacceptable to customers, but three events completely reversed their perceptions!

First, all major rental brands were exposed for formaldehyde-filled rooms, and Sloth Apartments stood out from the crowd with its conscientious decoration, establishing a reputation for quality and word-of-mouth.

Song Kai had originally planned a video with Flying Yellow Studio to expose this issue, but he was a step too late.

On the surface, this was a coincidence, but in reality, there was a certain inevitability to it. It was common for content creators to cover the same topics, especially since these rental brands had been expanding rapidly in recent months, and the formaldehyde room problem was getting worse and worse. Sooner or later, someone would stand up and expose it.

But this only allowed the quality of Sloth Apartments to be unanimously recognized; people still did not agree with its concept and business model.

Then, President Li's in-depth interpretation of the Sloth Apartments concept on the interview program made everyone understand that there was a deeper meaning behind those seemingly inhumane rules.

Renting here was not just renting a living space, but also renting a space for quiet contemplation.

This immediately added extra value to Sloth Apartments!

Finally, Old Qiao actually combined the content expressed in the game *Struggle* with all of Tengda’s related life industries, which further elevated the value of Sloth Apartments!

What President Pei expressed was: everyone should spend money on what they really need: leveraging their attention to create greater value, which is the real struggle.

And Sloth Apartments perfectly met this point, so it further stimulated everyone to rent!

So far, there were mainly two types of people renting Sloth Apartments.

The first type, like President Li, were people who had plenty of money.

They didn’t intend to use Sloth Apartments as their only residence, but simply spent money to rent a space for quiet contemplation.

For these people, the benefits of making the right decision could far outweigh the rent for a year at Sloth Apartments.

The second type was those in more creative professions, such as painters, writers, musicians, artists, streamers, up hosts, architects, and so on.

These people needed such an environment to calm down and think even more, and the butlers, cleaners, and Take-Out Tengda also allowed them to live comfortably without worrying about basic living needs.

Some people didn't even live in Jingzhou, but specifically rented an apartment in Sloth Apartments, simply because they were attracted to the lifestyle in Jingzhou.

Take-Out Tengda, Thrill Hotel, and the GOG tournaments held regularly, made some wealthy people feel that renting an extra apartment in Jingzhou and coming over for a rest when they wanted to seemed like a good choice.

And emerging professions such as streamers and up hosts also felt that living in Jingzhou was a more livable choice.

As for the explanation that President Pei added to Sloth Apartments, although it also had a very important effect, it was not as prominent compared to the previous three factors.

Song Kai couldn’t help but sigh, President Pei was amazing, this combo move had kept the popularity of Sloth Apartments constant, and this model was a direct success!

Even the model that Liang Qingfan was not optimistic about was made a reality by President Pei!

It should be known that creating a new model and achieving success in the physical industry was an extremely difficult task.

But President Pei could do one and succeed at one!

Looking at the Tengda Life App, every project in it was the crystallization of President Pei's wisdom.

Song Kai said with emotion: "President Li, I really don't know how to thank you. That interview really helped a lot."

Li Shi smiled: "You don't have to thank me. In fact, the rewards I've received are much greater than those for Sloth Apartments."

Song Kai was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

President Li received rewards?

That can't be right, President Li didn't invest in Sloth Apartments, did he?

Li Shi explained with a smile: "You know, why did I and those investors suddenly want to rent Sloth Apartments? Actually, it's not just to support President Pei, and it's not a whim."

"Those investors are worried about Thrill Hotel!"

"They have all invested heavily in Thrill Hotel, but at that time, Thrill Hotel was only barely able to cover operating expenses and couldn't make much money at all. It was a long way from recovering costs and really making money."

"They asked me what to do, and I couldn't do anything, because in my opinion, Thrill Hotel had already done enough in terms of content and promotion. The designs of the three major projects were all unique, and even the shopping mall was made into a golden maze. How could it be improved further?"

"So, I thought that only President Pei could take Thrill Hotel to the next level!"

"And the way to get President Pei to help is to support him. That's why I brought those investors over to rent Sloth Apartments."

"Sure enough, I received a reward!"

"I just asked Chen Kangtuo, and he said that the number of people pre-ordering Thrill Hotel packages this morning has skyrocketed!"

"Obviously, Thrill Hotel has also become a part of President Pei's lifestyle. Those who come to Jingzhou to play, whether it's to watch the GOG competition, eat at the Nameless Restaurant, or experience Take-Out Tengda, all want to see Thrill Hotel!"

"It is conceivable that when the three projects of Thrill Hotel are so popular, the sales of goods in the golden maze will definitely start to skyrocket."

"Therefore, those of us who have invested around Thrill Hotel have also received rewards!"

"Of course, the more important gain is that we have learned President Pei's way of thinking. After living here for a while, I feel that my thinking is clearer, which helps us calm down and make better investments."

"So, you don't have to thank me, I've already had enough rewards."

Song Kai suddenly understood: "I see!"

It seemed that President Pei's big move was an AoE attack!

It not only made Sloth Apartments popular, but also made Thrill Hotel and all the industries in the Tengda Life App popular!

Li Shi smiled slightly: "I've learned President Pei's trick again."

"Those who do not plan for the whole are insufficient to plan for a corner; those who do not plan for the overall situation are insufficient to plan for the moment."

"As a successful entrepreneur, you must look at the overall situation and not just focus on one project."

"Like the industries in the Tengda Life App, each one taken out individually is actually not bad, but far from achieving the current effect. But if they are all integrated, they can exert a terrible cluster effect!"

"President Pei is really admirable!"

Song Kai couldn't help but nod: "Yes, President Pei is really admirable."

The two were chatting when the elevator door opened, and Pei Qian strolled out, preparing to go to Take-Out Tengda for lunch.

Coincidentally, he ran into the two chatting.

Song Kai and Li Shi didn't know that Pei Qian had just woken up, and thought that he had just finished a morning of thinking and was going to the company to guide work.

Both of them showed admiring smiles and nodded to President Pei as a salute.

"Hello, President Pei."

Pei Qian nodded subconsciously: "Oh, good afternoon."

It was just a normal greeting, but as he walked out the door, Pei Qian felt more and more uneasy.

These two people, their smiles were a bit creepy...

He had a feeling that there was something behind those smiles.

After Li Shi's interview made Sloth Apartments and the fully automatic argument machine popular, Pei Qian came up with a way to write a note on the pages of Sloth Apartments and the fully automatic argument machine.

As a result, it was completely useless!

Not only did the customers not believe it, but they bought even more enthusiastically!

So Pei Qian could only give up helplessly. In addition to watching the GOG World Invitational, he was thinking about how to spend money on a spree at the end of the month.

But walking on the road today, he always felt a chilly wind, making him feel a little empty inside.

After arriving at Take-Out Tengda and sitting down, Pei Qian felt more and more uneasy and took out his phone to browse.

Suddenly, he found that Old Qiao had posted a video late last night!

?

A question mark instantly appeared on Pei Qian's head.

Why did this Old Qiao release another video?

Looking at the title, Pei Qian was even more puzzled.

Still talking about *Struggle*?

Old Qiao, you're too late!

If you had released this video earlier, I might have been a little scared, but now He An has dug up this game, no matter what it is, all the connotations have been dug up.

Do you understand what it means to pick up other people's leftovers?

Do you understand what it means to not get it while it's hot, and to miss the bus?

The corners of Pei Qian's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

However, out of respect for Old Qiao, Pei Qian still clicked in and watched the video from beginning to end.

However, Pei Qian's expression quickly changed from calm to dull, and his eyes and mouth gradually widened.

He was shocked by what he saw, and almost sprayed out a mouthful of coffee.

"What the hell is this!"

"Nonsense!!!"
