Chapter 161 Jin Sheng Plaza

After comforting Lu Mingliang, Pei Qian returned to his residence for a short nap before heading out to find Tian Mo.

He had already arranged with Liang Qingfan to take Tian Mo to see the progress of the new experience store's renovation and finalize some of the details of its layout.

Pei Qian had entrusted the entire matter of the new experience store to Liang Qingfan and hadn't asked about it since. Right now, he didn't even know what the experience store looked like, let alone where it was located.

The reason Pei Qian hadn't asked about the location this time was partly because he had been busy recently, and partly because he felt that asking wouldn't make a difference anyway.

The Sloth Apartments were like that. Pei Qian could say he meticulously selected the first few buildings, finding them in all sorts of nooks and crannies, but they became a hit, and prices skyrocketed.

Pei Qian figured that these kinds of buildings had too much potential for appreciation, so the Sloth Apartments 2.0 model was located in a more prosperous area. As a result, it became even more popular and unstoppable.

Similar experiences had played out many times in Mo Yu Internet Cafe and many other physical industries.

So Pei Qian realized that the location didn't seem to have much to do with whether it would be successful.

In fact, his painstaking efforts to choose a location might even have a negative effect.

In that case, why not be a lazy dog?

Choosing a location was very troublesome. He had to take a car all over Jingzhou, and when he got there, he had to check everywhere. He often had to run around for three or four days to finalize a location.

For the average person, renting a house was already troublesome enough, but choosing a location for a store was many times more troublesome than renting a house.

Since it didn't matter where he chose, Pei Qian didn't want to bother at all. He just left it all to Liang Qingfan.

Of course, this didn't mean that Pei Qian was sitting around doing nothing. He figured that whether a physical industry was successful or not had little to do with location, but a lot to do with people.

As long as he firmly controlled Tian Mo, and then controlled the entire sales department layer by layer through Tian Mo, then there wouldn't be much of a problem.

Before long, Pei Qian had arrived outside Tian Mo's store.

There were several customers browsing in the store. It wasn't as deserted as it had been at the beginning, nor as popular as when the G1 phone had just been released. It had returned to a normal state.

Pei Qian sighed silently.

It could only be said that giving the address of the experience store directly at the G1 phone launch event was really too damaging. The entire city of Jingzhou knew that Tengda's first experience store was here, and everyone wanted to come and see it.

Moreover, the G1 phone was still in a state of sporadic stock shortages. A batch of goods would be produced, stay in stock for a while, and then sell out, and then be out of stock for a while, repeating the cycle.

Many customers who hadn't decided whether to buy, or who wanted to pre-order at the offline store because the official website was temporarily out of stock, made up the main force of people browsing the store recently.

Pei Qian was still wearing a mask, pretending to be a passerby window-shopping outside the door, secretly observing the situation in the store.

Tian Mo was still diligently introducing the defects of these products to interested customers, and it seemed that he was speaking more fluently than the last time he came.

After all, when the G1 phone had just been released last time, Tian Mo wasn't very familiar with the phone, and he stuttered when talking about its shortcomings. Now that he had used it himself and memorized all the parameters, he could talk about the shortcomings smoothly.

However, the customers were used to it and would chat with him a few words.

"Didn't Tengda recently release a new smart fitness clothes-drying rack? Why don't you have it in this experience store?" a guy asked.

Tian Mo immediately explained, "That product takes up too much space. There's no room for it in the experience store."

"If you want to experience it, you can go to the nearby托管 (tuōguǎn) fitness center (entrusted/outsourced fitness center) to experience it. There are several ready-made devices there, and there are also fitness instructors to help explain."

The guy looked around, then nodded, "It really doesn't fit. But speaking of which, Tengda is such a big company, and they do everything with such a grand scale. Why is this first experience store so stingy?"

"Such a small store, like a grocery store, doesn't match Tengda's temperament at all, and you can't display all the products."

Tian Mo smiled, "This is just a pilot. There should be bigger stores in the future."

Several customers wandered around the store, tried out the latest G1 phone sample, and then left their information, waiting to pick up their goods later.

The guy who asked about the smart fitness clothes-drying rack went straight to the elevator, obviously planning to go straight to the nearby 托管 (tuōguǎn) fitness center after leaving the mall.

Seeing that there were no other customers in the store, Pei Qian immediately walked in and greeted Tian Mo.

"Lock the door. Business is closed for today."

"I'll take you and Zhuang Dong to see the new experience store."

Tian Mo was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Okay!"

He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He had just said that this experience store was too small, and now a bigger experience store was coming?

Tian Mo didn't know much about the new experience store. He only knew that it was being renovated, but he didn't know where it was located or how big it was.

This was also normal. After all, Tian Mo knew himself very well. With his current level, he probably wasn't qualified to participate in the selection and design of the experience store.

Although his title was the head of the sales department, Tian Mo felt that his actual ability wasn't even as good as an ordinary real estate agent. Therefore, he would just listen to President Pei's arrangements.

Today, when he heard that he was going to see the new experience store, Tian Mo was also very happy. After telling Zhuang Dong to come out, they locked the door.

The group walked towards the underground parking lot.

Tian Mo asked curiously, "President Pei, where is the new experience store located?"

Pei Qian was silent for a moment, "This... I don't know either. I entrusted it all to Liang Qingfan."

Tian Mo nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

It seemed that President Pei hadn't participated in the selection of the experience store either.

But Tian Mo felt that it was definitely for different reasons than himself.

President Pei was definitely too busy with work and had extreme trust in Liang Qingfan, so he entrusted all the work to Liang Qingfan.

After walking a few more steps, Pei Qian asked, "Have you decided on the other candidates for the sales department?"

Pei Qian had previously told Tian Mo to choose the candidates for the sales department himself. He should look for them among his friends and classmates, and their education level must not exceed his.

Tian Mo himself only had a high school education, which was a bit harsh, and Pei Qian was afraid that he would have difficulty completing it.

Tian Mo quickly replied, "President Pei, I've found fifteen people so far!"

"These people fully meet your requirements. They are all my junior high school and high school classmates. We have good relationships, and their education levels don't exceed mine."

"I've already asked them to quit their current jobs and stay at home, memorizing the sales department's guidelines. Four of them are particularly close, so I've arranged for them to take shifts with me and Zhuang Dong to watch the store. However, today is just my and Zhuang Dong's shift, so they're not in the store. Otherwise, I could introduce them to you."

"But any more... I really can't find them."

Pei Qian nodded slightly.

Fifteen people, plus Tian Mo and Zhuang Dong, that was seventeen people.

It was hard for Tian Mo to find so many talents.

However, this number was still not enough.

The new experience store was at least several thousand square meters, divided into several large areas. These salespeople weren't robots. They needed to take shifts and have days off, and they needed to handle various miscellaneous things in the store.

Moreover, Pei Qian created this sales department to cultivate the "sales talents" he needed. In the future, he would open more experience stores, and these salespeople would even be assigned to Mo Yu Internet Cafe and other industries.

The talent gap was too large.

The first batch of employees in the new experience store would almost all become store managers or key members of another experience store in the future and be sent out.

Therefore, the first batch of employees in the new experience store could only be more, not less. Seventeen people were still far from enough.

Pei Qian thought for a moment, "Continue to recruit people, but the scope can be slightly broadened, such as your friends. But be sure to pay attention, absolutely no one who has been brainwashed too deeply by other companies can be accepted, and absolutely no one who may not recognize or even violate the sales department's purpose can be accepted."

Tian Mo quickly nodded, "Understood!"

Arriving at the underground parking lot, after getting into the business car, Xiao Sun drove the three people directly to the new experience store.

Liang Qingfan was already waiting there.

More than ten minutes later, the business car stopped.

"President Pei, we're here."

Pei Qian had been playing on his phone and hadn't paid attention to the road. It wasn't until this time that he put away his phone and looked up out the window.

Then he saw the super-huge promotional poster of Modest.

Pei Qian: "..."

Wasn't this Yuanda Tiandi?

The venue for the first GoG Global Invitational Tournament and the GPL League?

Pei Qian was speechless.

Liang Qingfan, Liang Qingfan, even if he let him choose a place at random, he couldn't choose here!

Wasn't he just stirring up trouble?

Even choosing Huanyu Tiangie would be better than here, because Huanyu Tiangie didn't have the GPL League!

But Pei Qian thought about it again and felt that something was wrong.

Because Pei Qian had been to Yuanda Tiandi many times and was very familiar with this shopping mall.

Yuanda Tiandi was the second largest shopping mall in the entire city of Jingzhou after Huanyu Tiangie, and since the GPL moved in, the traffic had increased again, and it was no less than Huanyu Tiangie.

Therefore, the few empty shops in Yuanda Tiandi were quickly snapped up, and demand exceeded supply.

Pei Qian had previously told Liang Qingfan that the experience store should be at least several thousand square meters.

And Yuanda Tiandi obviously couldn't squeeze out these places no matter what, unless he rented another multi-functional hall.

But multi-functional halls could be used as competition venues, but they were too unsuitable for experience stores. Liang Qingfan shouldn't do that.

With confusion, Pei Qian, Tian Mo, and Zhuang Dong got out of the car.

Liang Qingfan was already waiting by the roadside.

After introducing each other and greeting each other, Pei Qian said his doubts: "The new experience store is located inside Yuanda Tiandi? Where did you find the place?"

Liang Qingfan smiled and shook his head, "Of course not. Yuanda Tiandi really has no location, and the price is a bit high, which is not suitable."

"I chose the building behind it."

As he said that, Liang Qingfan turned around and pointed behind him.

Pei Qian, Tian Mo, and Zhuang Dong looked in the direction of Liang Qingfan's finger and saw another shopping mall across the street from Yuanda Tiandi: Jin Sheng Plaza.
