Losing Money to Be a Tycoon - Chapter 1370
Chapter 1370: Set It At Full Speed!
The corners of Pei Qian’s mouth twitched. He was in a very bad mood.
I knew it was that scammer Boss Li again!
Why do you always get into trouble at Thriller Hostel?
Needless to say, Boss Li must have brought a group of strange and unknown investors to package this route and the shops around the roller coaster project.
No wonder Chen Kangtuo said that he was not lacking in publicity funds. Someone else was paying for him!
When Li Shi saw Pei Qian, his eyes lit up and he walked towards him briskly.
“Boss Pei!”
Li Shi was in a great mood.
He could almost see the future of these shops as he watched these shops being renovated one by one, with reasonable planning and perfect layout.
Boss Pei was obviously a walking God of Fortune!
Li Shi was a little worried when Chen Kangtuo came to talk to Li Shi previously. After all, Boss Pei did not give any instructions. Chen Kangtuo seemed to have taken matters into his own hands.
Chen Kangtuo might be the person-in-charge of the Thriller Hostel project but what did Boss Pei mean?
Was Boss Pei willing to let them drink this soup?
That was a problem.
However, after walking around the venue, he confirmed that Boss Pei would definitely approve or even support him.
That was because the roller coaster project was so far away from the original Thriller Hostel project. There were so many empty places in the middle. The road had been built. Even the weeds of the old buildings by the side had been cleaned and the outer wall had been beautified. Only the renovations and renovations inside could be used directly as shops.
Wasn’t this a hint?
Of course, Chen Kangtuo had no other choice. This road led to the roller coaster project. The surrounding environment had to be beautified. He could not possibly continue to be deserted like before. That would be too unglamorous.
However, in Li Shi’s opinion, the position of the roller coaster project and the surrounding environment were obvious to everyone to participate enthusiastically.
Since that was the case, there was no need to say anything more.
Get all the investors here immediately to open more shops!
Pei Qian got out of the car and walked towards the roller coaster project with Li Shi. He listened to Li Shi talk about his ‘outstanding achievements’.
Li Shi waved his arm. Just like before, the investors chose their respective locations under Chen Kangtuo’s supervision. They divided up the surrounding shops and renovated them.
Even the boss of Star Bird Fitness, Che Rong, was pulled over by Li Shi. At the golden location in the middle of this route, there was an experience shop for VR equipment.
Of course, the VR equipment was still using the Doubt VR glasses. However, the structure and layout inside were very different from Star Bird Fitness. That was because in addition to the smart fitness drying rack and other equipment, they had also purchased some more expensive VR equipment in the market, such as the simulated driver’s cabin, VR shooting platform, and so on.
These equipment were specially used for amusement parks and shopping malls. They took up a lot of space and were expensive. Ordinary players could not afford them. Secondly, ordinary players could not afford them at home.
However, it was very suitable to put these equipment in the experience shop of Thriller Hostel.
What’s more, after these devices were adjusted, they could be used with the Doubt VR glasses. The joy would be doubled.
The only pity was that the games supported by these equipment were a little draggy. For example, simulated racing games. The graphics could only be said to be passable. The equipment had a rather rich feel to it, but the gameplay was far from those outstanding racing games.
However, this was not a big deal. In any case, Slow Movement Studio was still continuously developing new VR games. There would be a lot of expansion in the future.
As for the other shops, they could open whatever they wanted. Restaurants, cafes, and even internet cafes would do.
The only requirement was that the style had to be uniform. What’s more, the content had to be slightly similar to Thriller Hostel. They could not directly open a shop that was too different from gold accessories.
After this operation, Thriller Hostel did not look like a traditional amusement park. Instead, it looked vaguely like a small commercial district. It seemed like an amusement park had been stuffed into a group of shops.
After explaining his surroundings, Li Shi looked at Pei Qian proudly.
Pei Qian sniggered inwardly.
Why, Boss Li, are you asking me to send you a little red flower?
“Yes, quite good.” Pei Qian said “quite good” as he moved Li Shi’s position in his notebook forward.
Li Shi became even more excited after obtaining Boss Pei’s approval. “Also, Boss Pei, I’ve already arranged the publicity for the roller coaster project!”
“Ordinary publicity methods, buying advertisements and pushing these up, just like when Thriller Hostel first opened, maximize them all.”
“Also, we didn’t think that we would be able to use the shared phone booth to advertise previously. Boss Pei, you were the one who thought of it. Therefore, we learnt our lesson this time and put advertisements in all the shared phone booths in the country!”
“In short, the publicity this time will only be greater than the previous time. It will definitely not shrink. Don’t worry!”
Li Shi was not very good at publicity. Thus, when Chen Kangtuo asked him to help with publicity, his first reaction was a little difficult.
However, on further thought, hadn’t Boss Pei already done a demonstration when Thriller Hostel opened?
He just had to copy it!
What’s more, he could also continue his previous experience and adjust the publicity method with a lower price-quality ratio. He could spend more money on publicity methods with higher price-quality ratio.
This publicity plan might not be very outstanding. It could not be compared to Tengda’s advertising and marketing department, but it would not be a problem to pass, right!
Pei Qian looked at Li Shi silently and said through gritted teeth, “…You’re quite smart.”
Li Shi obviously took this as a positive evaluation. He smiled and said, “Of course!”
“That’s right, Boss Pei. I’ve already arranged for the employees of Fu Hui Investments to go to Suffering Travels. Please take care of them.”
Pei Qian looked at Li Shi in disbelief, speechless.
?
Good lord, I was wondering why the Suffering Travels was inexplicably full.
Both you and Zhou Muyan were behind it!
How many spies did I not find out about among the 200 people who signed up for the Suffering Travels?
Alright, there was no need to say anything else.
At that moment, hatred exploded in his heart.
Boss Li’s ranking in his notebook might not have reached the level of Qiao Liang and Ruan Guangjian, but at least this triple mocking had already steadily pulled the current hatred away.
“Hehe, no problem. I’ll let Bao Xu know. I’ll definitely ‘take special care’ of your employees!”
Pei Qian gritted his teeth and thanked him for his support while thinking about how to arrange for him.
It was a pity that Li Shi did not sign up for the Suffering Travels himself. Thus, it was impossible for him to arrange for the Suffering Travels.
Coincidentally, the two of them slipped forward and arrived at the periphery of the indoor roller coaster.
The so-called indoor roller coaster would definitely have a huge external building.
Normally, the exterior of the indoor roller coasters in the main theme park would make a specific setting based on the IP content. For example, there would be a huge wizard castle built outside an indoor roller coaster with a wizard theme. There was also a huge miniaturized wizard town outside the castle, a magic book shop, a shop that sold staff, and so on. Everything was complete.
Once the tourists arrived, they felt like they were really in the world of magicians.
Of course, Thriller Hostel could not afford to build so many things because of its budget. What’s more, even if it had enough funds, there would not be enough time.
Thus, the indoor roller coaster project did not look that fancy from the outside. However, it took up a lot of space after all. Thus, it looked extremely imposing.
From the outside, the exterior building looked like it was made of a large amount of steel. The steel structure’s framework supported each other, forming a grille-like framework that looked like gray mineral. What’s more, the lines of the steel structure were not that hard. Instead, they had a certain arc, giving off a feeling of fluctuation between high and low.
There was a translucent shell covering the steel structure, which undulated with the steel structure. Some parts were raised, and some were lowered. The highest point of the building from the outside was about 20 meters, but there was also nearly 10 meters below. The biggest difference was exactly 30 meters that Pei Qian had requested previously.
From the outside, not only could it show a sci-fi feeling from the material, but it could also show the theme of the “Zerg nest”.
In fact, when Chen Kangtuo first designed it, he had also considered whether he should restore it on the surface and make it into a scarlet planet surface appearance. However, after some consideration, he felt that it would be more old-fashioned and would look too low. Thus, he chose the current plan.
When he arrived at the entrance, Pei Qian looked up at the entire building.
Yes, he did not feel anything from afar. However, it was still relatively high when he looked closer.
He should be able to retain some degree of shock, right?
A roller coaster of thirty meters was still a roller coaster!
At that thought, Pei Qian looked at Li Shi. “Boss Li, have you experienced this new project?”
Li Shi shook his head. “No. The last time I came, this project was not completely completed. After that, I was busy with the shops outside and did not have the time to experience it.”
Pei Qian could not help but smile. “That’s great. Why don’t you call all the investors over to experience it together?”
Li Shi was stunned. “Now?”
Pei Qian nodded. “Yes, call as many as you can.”
It was fine if those who happened to be busy and could not come, but those who could come, do not run away!
Li Shi looked hesitant. “But… roller coasters are more scary. I’m not as young as you. Why don’t we let it go?”
Pei Qian smiled. “Hehe, it’s alright. This roller coaster is not scary at all. Instead, it’s very fun. Isn’t that right, Chen Kangtuo?”
Chen Kangtuo nodded. “That’s right. It’s not scary at all. Don’t worry, Boss Li!”
Pei Qian nodded approvingly at Chen Kangtuo. In his heart, he felt that this brat was quite smart and knew how to help.
Alright, on account of you being so sensible, I can let Bao Xu pay less attention to you when you go on the Suffering Travels.
Li Shi struggled for a moment. In the end, he found it difficult to turn them down. He called the people in charge of investing in Thriller Hostel over.
A few people happened to be busy and could not leave. For example, Che Rong was in other cities discussing with his partners about opening chain stores. At the same time, he was inspecting the new experience shop and purchasing a batch of physical VR equipment. Thus, he could not come.
Li Shi did not force them. He only called the few investors who were free over.
Pei Qian pulled Chen Kangtuo aside and whispered while Li Shi was making the call. “Can the roller coaster speed be adjusted?”
Chen Kangtuo nodded. “Yes, but only slightly.”
Pei Qian was a little disappointed, but he still said, “Alright, set it at full speed for me!”
