Chapter 650 A Better Interview Location (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

The videos made by both sides were highly homogenized.

They both exposed the issue of formaldehyde-ridden apartments. Although their editing and various details weren't as good, they investigated all rental apartment brands on the market, including Sloth Apartment.

Moreover, as a review media outlet with a generally good reputation in the tech circle, its credibility was very high. As a third party, it was far better for them to expose this issue than for Fei Huang Studio, after all, Fei Huang Studio had a direct conflict of interest with Sloth Apartment.

This made the video Fei Huang Studio was producing very awkward.

Zhu Xiaoce thought for a moment: "Export the video and save it, but don't post it."

The editor was dumbfounded: "Was all that effort for nothing?"

Zhu Xiaoce shook his head: "Of course not. We did the right thing. Even if no one knows, the act of doing it itself is meaningful."

There was no need to post this video anymore.

Because the problem had already been exposed and had attracted enough attention, the next steps had nothing to do with Tenda.

Previously, Zhu Xiaoce and the others didn't look for a third-party review organization, mainly due to two considerations.

First, the quality of various review organizations varied greatly, and the effect of the video might not be guaranteed. If Fei Huang Studio were to approach them, they certainly couldn't interfere randomly with their work, and the actual effect might be far from what they expected.

If the video didn't get enough attention, it wouldn't have the effect of exposing the issue.

Second, if it was revealed that Fei Huang Studio had asked a third-party organization to post the video, the video's credibility would also be questioned. Zhujia Group might even take this opportunity to counterattack, making the situation even more unfavorable.

Fei Huang Studio couldn't ask each of these review organizations if they were planning to make a video about formaldehyde-ridden apartments, nor could they just keep waiting, otherwise, the more they waited, the more victims there would be.

After comprehensive consideration, it was better to do it themselves, at least giving people a sense of being upright and honest.

But now, a relatively objective review media outlet had stepped forward to expose this issue, so there was no need for Fei Huang Studio to release their video.

The editor regretfully put the exported video into a folder: "It's a pity that Huang-ge isn't here. He doesn't know that this video was worked on for so long, but it won't be seen by the audience in the end."

Zhu Xiaoce smiled: "It's okay, Huang-ge won't care about this. Speaking of which, Huang-ge should be back this weekend, right? I wonder if he's having fun in Africa. The signal there is bad, and we can't often get in touch."

The editor took out his phone and looked at the comments below Tenda Life App.

"It seems that a lot of people have come to leave messages in the Sloth Apartment section, but the controversy is still very big."

"No one is picking on the price and quality anymore, but these rules of Sloth Apartment... there are still many people who don't understand them."

Obviously, this video not only hit those formaldehyde-ridden apartments but also put Sloth Apartment in the spotlight.

For a time, Sloth Apartment became a truly "safe apartment," healthy and environmentally friendly, with cleaning services. Although the price was high, which was more important, money or life?

Life and health can never be measured in money.

But even so, there were still many people questioning the Sloth Apartment model.

If it was only for health considerations, wouldn't it be better to rent those ordinary apartments, or those apartments in "safe apartment" that had been vacant for more than six months?

Now everyone can accept the price of Sloth Apartment, after all, you get what you pay for. It's only natural to charge more rent for using so many good materials and furniture.

But the biggest problem with Sloth Apartment still hadn't been solved, and that was that it wasn't livable!

There was no storage space, and you couldn't add your own furniture or change the layout of the room. This was still a point that many tenants found difficult to accept.

Zhu Xiaoce shook his head: "Who knows, these unreasonable rules can't be for deliberately turning away tenants, right? President Pei must have other considerations. Let's be patient and wait and see."

...

At the same time, Pei Qian was in his office, having just closed the review video.

"Another review organization is making this video?"

"Well, that's good. Formaldehyde-ridden apartments should be exposed."

"But, can you please not praise my Sloth Apartment as a side effect?"

"Fortunately, I've made adequate mental preparations, otherwise, I'd be stabbed in the back again?"

After seeing this review video, Pei Qian knew that Fei Huang Studio's video probably wouldn't be released.

But that didn't matter, it was all about exposing formaldehyde-ridden apartments, it was the same no matter who exposed them.

The only thing that was a bit unexpected was that this review video also tested the formaldehyde concentration of Sloth Apartment.

After all, Sloth Apartment was still only in its infancy, and it couldn't compare to the size of Zhujia Group and other rental apartment companies. It was really outrageous that it didn't escape the review.

Sloth Apartment's environmental protection index completely crushed all other rental apartment brands! This news was obviously another huge boost to the Sloth Apartment brand!

But Pei Qian was also somewhat prepared for this. After all, no matter who disclosed the matter of formaldehyde-ridden apartments, someone would definitely test the formaldehyde in Sloth Apartment. This was unavoidable.

Pei Qian had long known that these competitors couldn't be trusted!

The peers were too unhelpful, he couldn't count on them.

Many times, it really wasn't that President Pei wanted to make money, it was just that his peers wouldn't allow it.

Therefore, Pei Qian didn't put all his hopes on his peers. He knew that this was a group of pig teammates.

If he wanted Sloth Apartment to lose money, he still had to rely on the various unreasonable rules and this sparsely furnished style.

As long as he insisted on making Sloth Apartment uninhabitable, and the rooms were not fully occupied, then the Sloth Apartment brand would continue to lose money.

"Knock, knock, knock."

There was a knock on the office door.

Assistant Xin opened the door and entered: "President Pei, Jingzhou TV Finance Channel wants to do an exclusive interview with you, mainly because Thriller Hostel has made outstanding contributions to the transformation of the old industrial area, so..."

Pei Qian was stunned, a question mark floated above his head.

?

Jingzhou TV interview? Again?

Pei Qian quickly said, "No time!"

"Tell the TV station that I'm busy with work and really don't have time, maybe next time."

Assistant Xin nodded: "Okay, President Pei."

After Assistant Xin left, Pei Qian patted his chest, calming his emotions.

Jingzhou TV Finance Channel?

Don't be ridiculous, Last Time's Lazy Delivery was tricked by the TV station!

This time, they actually want to make a move on Thriller Hostel? I won't be fooled again!

The Thriller Hostel is located in the old industrial area. Although Thriller Hostel is still far from recovering its costs, it has a good level of popularity.

Transforming the old industrial area has always been a difficult problem. Local companies in Jingzhou don't want to touch this mess.

Tenda Group invested heavily in the old industrial area to build a theme park like Thriller Hostel. Although it's a haunted house, it's still in the tertiary industry, which is enough to make it a benchmark project for the transformation of the old industrial area!

So, it's only a matter of time before the TV station comes to interview.

Back when Thriller Hostel opened, the TV station reported it once, but that time it didn't attract much attention or discussion. After all, Thriller Hostel's publicity was overwhelming, and it didn't need the TV station to report it this time.

But Pei Qian still didn't dare to accept an exclusive interview. He knew very well that as long as he accepted the interview, something bad would happen!

Just like last time with Lazy Delivery, Pei Qian only showed his back, and he was dug out by netizens and turned into "Tenda's boss personally promoting goods." If he accepted an interview and made Thriller Hostel popular, that was entirely possible!

What's more, Pei Qian didn't want to show his face.

As for written news articles... forget it, he had psychological trauma.

So, Pei Qian's attitude was very firm, just say he had something to do, next time for sure.

If I don't accept the interview, can you put a knife to my neck? Can you stab me in the back?

Impossible!

...

Reporter Zhang Lixian of the Finance Channel hung up the phone, looking blank.

President Pei actually refused!

Logically speaking, this was a TV interview, and a positive one, setting an example, what a great boost to the company's image, how could they refuse?

Deliberately refusing?

That's not likely, there's no need to refuse such a good thing.

Most likely... he really doesn't have time, right?

Zhang Lixian felt a little regretful, because this time she wanted to report not only on Thriller Hostel itself, nor only on the transformation of the old industrial area, but also wanted to interview President Pei on his views on investment.

Previously, Jingzhou TV had also reported on Thriller Hostel, but the effect was average, and it didn't cause much of a stir.

After reflecting on it, the main reason was that the content wasn't done well enough.

This time's interview was intended to be from a different angle.

Most companies don't respond to the call to transform the old industrial area, and they don't dare to invest in the old industrial area because they are afraid of taking risks.

But President Pei is also an investor, so why does he dare to invest in the old industrial area? Is there a story behind this that can be explored?

Everyone felt that this would be a good angle.

But unfortunately, President Pei wouldn't accept the interview, so things were a bit stuck.

A staff member suggested: "If President Pei doesn't have time... why not change to someone else? President Pei isn't the only investor in Thriller Hostel. President Li of Fuhui Capital has also invested a lot of money there."

Another staff member also nodded in agreement: "That's right, we can interview President Li. He's also an investor, and the effect should be the same."

Zhang Lixian thought for a moment and felt that this seemed to be a good alternative.

President Li of Fuhui Capital had also invested in the old industrial area, which was also worthy of praise, and he had probably worked with President Pei and knew something about the inner workings of Thriller Hostel during its construction.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lixian found Fuhui Capital's phone number and successfully contacted Li Shi, explaining his intention: to arrange an exclusive interview to share his journey of investing in the old industrial area and the reasons for his successful investment.

Li Shi on the other end of the phone readily agreed.

Zhang Lixian was very happy: "Then President Li, let's go to your office to interview you, shall we? Please tell me a time."

Li Shi on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment: "If it's about introducing successful investment experience... I have a better place for the interview than the office."

"Sloth Apartment in City of Dawn."
