Losing Money to Be a Tycoon - Chapter 1198
Chapter 1198: Special Training Base
Pei Qian continued, “As for opening the shop, there’s no hurry. You can take your time.”
“If you feel that you are not well-prepared, you should prepare more; if you feel that the plan is not mature, you can spend more money to come up with a few more plans. Even if you regret halfway, you can inform me and redo it!”
“In short, don’t be afraid of making mistakes. There are no hard indicators for this mission. There are no particularly strict time restrictions. What’s there to worry about?”
“The only requirement is to complete at least one experience shop within half a year.”
“In other words, until February next year, at least one experience shop can be opened. What’s more, there can’t be any experience shops that are under construction, understand?”
Tian Mo nodded. “I understand. This request is very loose, but…”
Pei Qian interrupted him. “Since it’s very loose, what’s there to worry about?”
“Er…” Tian Mo was speechless.
This request was indeed not difficult and was quite flexible.
If he wanted to play it safe, he would go all out to an experience shop. From choosing locations to finding people to design and renovate, it would not be difficult to start the test run in the second half of the year with sufficient funds.
If he took the risk, he could even arrange for two experience shops at the same time. However, that way, Tian Mo would have to run between the two cities often.
Tian Mo thought about it. It would be good to open an experience shop first with his current ability and level.
As for why Boss Pei requested for there not to be a construction experience shop in February?
Perhaps this was to train his planning ability?
Even if they had to prepare slowly, they had to have a clear goal. They could not delay it indefinitely.
At first, Tian Mo felt that it was quite good to be the person-in-charge of this experience shop. He was very satisfied even if he had to do this job for life.
However, it was obvious that Boss Pei was not satisfied and wanted to give him more tasks to train him further.
Tian Mo originally felt that his ability was not enough to take on the task, so he subconsciously declined. However, on further thought, wouldn’t he be letting Boss Pei down if he continued to decline?
He had also given up on the career development plan for the future.
At that thought, Tian Mo nodded. “Alright, Boss Pei. I’ll do my best. If I don’t do well…”
Pei Qian smiled. “That’s alright.”
“Remember, there are only two requirements. First, spend more money. Second, you have to complete it before February. Even if you find a random shop to renovate and start the test run, you cannot delay it until after February.”
Tian Mo nodded. “Alright, Boss Pei. I’ll remember!”
“I’ll make the arrangements now.”
…
After settling the matter with the experience shop, Pei Qian took a car again to the special training base of the suffering trip in Jingzhou.
The special training base was located in an industrial park in the outskirts of Jingzhou. It was located in a relatively remote location, but the entire building was huge and imposing.
This was Pei Qian’s first time here.
After all, he was very assured about the torturous travel industry.
That was because Pei Qian knew very well that Bao Xu would definitely not think about using this industry to earn money. He only wanted to arrange for a few more enemies to travel and suffer.
However, he did not have to worry. He still had to take a look after the special training base was ready.
The main reason was that he was afraid that Bao Xu would not think of anything and suffer sufficiently. Pei Qian would remind him and intensify his efforts.
After getting out of the car at the entrance of the venue, Pei Qian looked up. The venue was quite imposing. It took up about seven to eight hundred square meters of space. It was not even twenty meters tall. It was about five or six stories tall.
At first, Pei Qian was not satisfied with this location because he felt that it was too remote.
However, that meant that the rent would be low and the expenses would be low. How could he spend more money?
However, on further thought, if he opened it in a more prosperous area, the rent would indeed cost a lot, but the chances of it becoming popular would also be higher.
Pei Qian pondered for a moment. There were risks no matter what, so he did not raise any objections to this location.
Now, looking at the entire venue, Pei Qian was quite satisfied.
Most importantly!
How many employees of Tengda could participate in special training? Even if it was opened to the public, not many people would register. The location might be remote, but the venue was so big. The rent should not be cheap.
What’s more, the stadium was huge. There would probably be many torturous activities inside.
Bao Xu and Ziran were already waiting at the door, leading Boss Pei in.
Walking through the main entrance, Pei Qian looked around. “What was this place for before?”
Bao Xu answered truthfully. “At first, it was a factory building. Later, it was rented and transformed into a rock climbing museum. After a period of time, because there was too little human traffic and we could not recover our costs, the rock climbing museum stopped working.”
“Ziran and I saw that this place is more suitable for rock climbing. The previous rock climbing restaurant was almost renovated, especially this simulated landscape rock wall. It can be used directly. In addition, the venue is relatively large. It would be easy to expand in the future, so we rented it.”
Pei Qian nodded. “Not bad.”
Previously, it was a rock climbing museum and it had closed down? That was a good sign.
The entire venue was very empty and open. After entering through the main entrance, there was a huge simulated scenic climbing wall nearly 20 meters tall. There were also some short artificial rock walls around it. Obviously, they were left behind by the previous rock climbing gym.
There was a huge difference in the appearance of these two rock walls. The biggest rock wall was the simulated rock wall. It looked like a real rock wall in nature, fully restored to the texture of the natural rock wall. The shape was very rich. It was probably no different from the rock walls in the wild.
According to Bao Xu’s introduction, this kind of rock wall was not cheap. The process was relatively cumbersome. The resin and glass fiber had to be accumulated layer by layer on the double-layered baseboard. Finally, the resin had to be sprayed and the English sand paste had to be roughly processed. It had to be processed layer by layer to meet the engineering requirements.
Obviously, the rock climbing restaurant had spent a lot of money back then, but it had still failed to escape the fate of bankruptcy.
As for the other artificial rock walls, they were purely made of alloys, steel frame structure, professional points, and other parts. They could also simulate straight walls, push-ups, eaves, and other difficult climbing faces. What’s more, they could adjust the branches at any time to simulate different routes.
This kind of rock wall looked like an ordinary wall. It did not have the realistic feeling of a landscape rock wall. However, it was suitable as the rock wall when newbies started training.
In addition, there was also various safety equipment, including safety rope, protective equipment, comprehensive sponge mats, and so on. People were not allowed to climb the four-meter redline without wearing safety rope.
They could climb rocks and naturally use a rope to drop quickly. These training projects could be adjusted according to needs.
Pei Qian nodded slightly. “Yes, not bad. Rock climbing is a necessary survival skill in the wild. Of course, you have to train well.”
“What about the other zones?”
Bao Xu explained, “The original rock climbing gym made the other areas into man-made rock walls so that a large number of tourists could experience it. However, we did not use so many man-made rock walls so we only kept this part as the rock climbing area. The other areas were used to train other skills.”
Bao Xu led Pei Qian in as he spoke.
“At the moment, the entire special training base can be roughly divided into several different areas.”
“The rock climbing area is the area we saw just now.”
“The physical area is mainly for basic physical training, including endurance training, strength training, balance training, flexibility training, and so on.”
“The learning area will mainly learn some professional knowledge about outdoor survival. Come and learn such theoretical knowledge when you are more tired from training.”
“The living areas are mainly training how to build camps in the wild, build shelters, cut wood, build a fire, skin animals, find food, and so on.”
Pei Qian took a look. The largest rock climbing area in the entire stadium was obviously the one he saw when he first entered. The second was the physical fitness area and living area.
The learning area was the smallest. It was more like a small conference room with only twenty chairs, a lecture table, and a projector.
There were also some health supplements in the wild, such as medicine, bandages, and so on. Obviously, there would be such content in the teaching.
There were a few pieces of fitness equipment in the physical fitness area, but they were obviously different from the equipment in the gym. Obviously, the focus of the training was different.
During endurance training, they would have to carry a heavyweight with a backpack. In addition, they would also arrange for a series of specialized targeted training such as frogging, weighted squat, balance on one foot, dynamic balance, and so on to simulate the situation in the wild.
There was a small area in the physical fitness area with arrow targets and crossbows. It should be a place for shooting training.
Pei Qian also saw the pressure board walking area that he had emphasized. It was used to increase the tolerance of the feet so that they could prepare for dangerous paths in the future.
On the other hand, the content in the living area was even richer. There was training to build a tent, cutting branches to light a fire, or building a shelter. There was training to eat compressed biscuits, and there was also training to kill their own prey and barbecue.
All in all, all the practical skills required for outdoor survival were trained here.
Pei Qian was a little confused. “Since there are compressed biscuits, why do they still have to kill the prey themselves?”
“Boss Pei, this is to meet different training requirements.”
“In terms of food and accommodation, our training is gradual.”
“In the beginning, we would arrange for trainers to eat some compressed food and heat up the food quickly. Then, they would eat compressed biscuits and dry meat pancakes. Finally, they would kill the game and cook it themselves.”
“It’s the same with the living conditions. At first, we stayed in tents. Then, there were no tents. We had to build our own shelter and sleep in our sleeping bags. After that, we did not even have our sleeping bags.”
“This gradual training would allow everyone to adapt step by step.”
Pei Qian looked curiously at the food sample that had been prepared. There was a grayish-white thing that looked like a brick inside. “Is this the dry meat pie that you mentioned?”
Bao Xu quickly reminded him. “That’s right, Boss Pei. However, I don’t suggest you try it. It tastes like dog food mixed with hard paper plates.”
Pei Qian’s curiosity was immediately extinguished as he silently retracted his hand.
It was obvious that Bao Xu had put in a lot of effort in order to arrange for Huang Sibo and his other enemies.
“Not bad, it’s quite satisfactory overall.”
“However… do you think there’s more room for improvement in the future?”
Pei Qian was already very satisfied with this special training base.
However, that did not stop Pei Qian from pursuing a better spending plan.
After a moment of silence, Ziran said, “If we improve further… We can only go to special wilderness places to train.”
“However, that would be even more troublesome. We have to modify the venue in all directions. It would be almost like building an ecology park from scratch.”
Pei Qian’s eyes lit up.
This was not bad!
It sounded like he was spending a lot of money!
However, there was no need to worry about this. The indoor special training base could also be used for now. It would not be too late to invest in building a large-scale special training base in the wild after the situation of suffering travel stabilized.
What’s more, there was a benefit to this. No one could cheat!
Pei Qian could predict that some employees would definitely push away saying that they were not feeling well and escape training during training.
For such employees, forcing them to go into the wild was still dangerous.
However, if he had set up an outdoor special training base, there would be no problem. The safety would definitely be guaranteed!
He would shortlist those who were physically well and send them to travel around the world. Those whose physical conditions were slightly worse could forget about running away. He would send them to the outdoor special training base to continue training.
All in all, he could not shortchange them. He had to arrange everything clearly for them!
