After sending Lin Wan off, Pei Qian heaved a sigh of relief.

Heh, little lass, I settled you, didnt I?

Pei Qian knew Lin Wans weakness: she was overly concerned with growing and working on her own abilities through rigorous training. As long as he could make her feel that this task would train her and help her mature, she would agree to it. This would be so even if Pei Qian did not pay her.

All in all, sending Lin Wan to Shang Yang Games would ensure that she would be tormented.

Whats more, Pei Qian had already given her sufficient hints.

Pei Qian was worried that Lin Wan would feel like they lacked money midway through. What would Pei Qian do if she approached her older brother for money? Thus, Pei Qian purposely hinted this would be a huge test of Lin Wans skills. He said this would nurture her ability to independently take charge of a project.

This way, in order to prove her own abilities, Lin Wan would not turn to her family for aid. The chances of her succeeding would be greatly lowered.

It was a perfect plan!

Pei Qian closed his little notebook. For now, he had already dealt with most hidden dangers. He was more or less done with planning for both companies.

However, this was just the first step in a long journey. After all, his business was huge now. He had to take care of every aspect.

In order to ensure that he would finish spending all his money before the settlement period and achieve his aim to incur losses, Boss Pei had to continue working hard.

Thus, Pei Qian decided to leave and check out Fish-Catching Internet Cafes situation.

At Fish-Catching Internet Cafes branch in Ming Yun Villas

This branch was doing the worst out of all the Fish-Catching Internet Cafes.

Zhang Yuan and Ma Yang were already waiting inside for Pei Qian. When Pei Qian walked in, he looked around.

Yes, this was a familiar feeling.

There were a few people in the store. Many computers were not occupied, and the coffee area looked cold and deserted as well. The bartender was falling asleep while standing, and there were more waiters than there were customers.

This is what a Fish-Catching Internet Cafe is supposed to look like!

Ever since the Fish-Catching Internet Cafes flagship store became famous, Pei Qian stopped going there.

Although Chen Lei had already returned to Shanghai, the fame he won for the store still remained. Many people would visit Fish-Catching Internet Cafes flagship store every day. The losses had been completely converted to profits.

One could say that Chen Lei had made Fish-Catching Internet Cafes flagship store famous forever.

Thus, Pei Qian wanted to avoid the heartbreaking place.

He looked for a random seat to sit down. A waiter brought him coffee. The three Fish-Catching giants chatted as they sipped their drinks.

Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan exchanged a knowing look. In their hearts, they understood.

Boss Pei had his reasons for choosing thisshop.

Before this, they always met at the flagship store. Why were they meeting at the deserted Ming Yun Villas branch this time? He was hinting something to them! Since the flagship store had become famous, there was no need for them to focus on it too much.

Now, the Ming Yun Villas branch was doing the worst out of all the shops. It was incurring the most losses. The next step would be to turn this stores losses into profits. The fact that Boss Pei had chosen to meet here out of all the stores made this problem clear to them.

They had to understand Boss Peis intentions. They needed to make the Ming Yun Villas branch the next successful store as soon as possible!

Ma Yang looked very energetic. He even looked like he had put on some weight.

Now that the Fish-Catching Internet Cafes flagship stores losses had turned into profits, he felt like a completely different person in front of Pei Qian. Even his walk was more confident.

This time, he was even more confident about his own plan.

Brother Qian, I have good news to report about the flagship store.

Pei Qians left eyelid twitched violently. He tried to maintain a straight expression as he said, Speak.

Ma Yang was obviously excited. Ever since Chen Lei sang at the flagship store, the income earned from the sale of drinks has been increasing. Now, we have completely made up for the losses, and were making a profit instead!

Not only that, but our singers have been getting better as well. When they learned about Chen Lei, many local singers of Jingzhou jumped over to our flagship store. The quality of our singers has improved drastically!

As Pei Qian listened, his heart began to hurt. He had already guessed that this would happen, but at that moment, he still felt pain inside.

Chen Lei had become famous and had attracted a big group of fans to the flagship store. Fish-Catching Internet Cafes flagship store was now a mini tourist attraction. Naturally, outstanding singers would approach them for gigs.

Even if Chen Lei was not around anymore, Fish-Catching Internet Cafes flagship store would still maintain a high volume of alcohol sales!

For a long period in the future, the singers in Fish-Catching Internet Cafes flagship store would probably be the best in Jingzhou City or even in the entire Handong Province. This was akin to a golden signboard!

The good thing was that there was only one flagship store. The other stores were not enjoying the same benefits for now.

Ma Yang continued, Brother Qian, that is why I feel that we should make this model popular!

Actually, we can turn the internet cafe into a bar entirely. That would further increase our income from the sale of alcohol

Pei Qian immediately shook his head. No, Old Ma, you are too short-sighted.

Ma Yang was speechless.

Zhang Yuan, on the other hand, smiled without saying anything.

See, I told you Boss Pei would not agree!

Zhang Yuan could not help but admire Ma Yang. Until now, Boss Ma could not understand Boss Peis intentions. His comprehension skills were truly hard to describe in a few words.

Even so, Boss Pei had not given up on him. Their relationship was indeed very solid!

Could Brother Ma have taken a bullet for Boss Pei before?

It was obvious that Boss Pei wanted a multi-faceted layout; he did not want to run a singular business. Turning the internet cafe into a bar in order to increase the volume of alcohol sales was short-sighted indeed. It would be surprising if Boss Pei agreed to something like that!

Zhang Yuan guessed that Boss Peis plan would be to make the other Fish-Catching Internet Cafe branches popular by riding on the popularity of the flagship store. This new internet cafe model would then be famous across Jingzhou and spread to surrounding cities as well.

Zhang Yuan could not help but feel overjoyed.

He realized that he had improved significantly ever since he started working for Boss Pei!

Initially, he had difficulty understanding Boss Peis intentions. Subsequently, he began to understand partially. Recently, he was finally able to predict what Boss Peis next move would be. From time to time, he would even get it partly right.

All of this showed that his vision was expanding. Finally, he was getting close to Boss Peis way of thinking!

Pei Qian sipped his coffee and casually asked, How is Fish-Catching Take-Out doing?

Ma Yang quickly answered, Fish-Catching Take-Outs reputation is good! People who have tasted our food have left us good feedback. They say that the food is healthy, and there are no concerns about hygiene er, they also left good feedback about our delivery men.

However we are still a distance from making a profit.

A distance was an understatement; they were a long way from making a profit.

Zhang Yuan secretly looked into this model as well. The outcome of his analysis was that it would be impossible for them to make a profit in the short-term.

This was unless they expanded their business and covered a larger area in the future. This would allow them to reap the economies of scale from hiring manpower for delivering food, collecting utensils, disinfecting utensils, and the like.

Pei Qian nodded his head, obviously satisfied by this update.

Unable to hold it in any longer, Zhang Yuan began analyzing the situation.

Its strange. Boss Pei did not ask about how the other stores are doing. Instead, he asked about Fish-Catching Take-Out. Could his main focus for the next stage be the take-out? Does he want Fish-Catching Take-Out to ride on the flagship stores popularity and become more well-known?

As Zhang Yuan gave him a puzzled look, Pei Qian confidently announced the next stages plan.

After this, we will take a step in the logistics industry. Were going to start a new company, called Headwind Logistics!
