Chapter 1448 Zoo Inspection
Gao Ming sighed, feeling a little unlucky.
Why were Tengda targeted by President Pei?
Nowadays, many domestic Internet companies live a worried life every day, fearing that they will be targeted by Tengda.
Because once you are targeted by Tengda, you won’t feel good whether you are a big company or a small company!
And what is outrageous is that Tengda's current ambition has been fully revealed. In the past, he only engaged in cross-border operations in the fields around the game, and did business such as Internet cafes and e-sports. It does not seem to have a direct competition and conflict with many Internet giants.
But now it’s different, the picture is revealed!
Tengda's policy has completely changed. Starting from the game, it has begun to affect reality!
The two games, "Real Estate Agency Simulator" and "Safe and Civilized Driving", are basically a showdown.
The key is that many seemingly powerful giant companies suddenly become vulnerable and have no way to counterattack!
"Mr. Pei is really a terrible person..."
Gao Ming couldn't help but sigh that playing against Mr. Pei was like a nightmare.
Because you never know which move he will take next!
This time, it seems that it has nothing to do with Mr. Pei. After all, Chixing Studio is just a VR game company invested by Tengda and Shenhua. It is operated independently, and Sloth Apartment is just a sub-brand of Tengda and basically has its own development plan.
But which one can break away from Mr. Pei when changing the model of sloth apartment and using games to influence reality?
If you say that it was not Mr. Pei’s instructions behind this, then Gao Ming would never believe it!
But I know that there is nothing I can do. Mr. Pei is too strong. If he doesn't take action, he will win. If he takes action, he will win. When other companies encounter this situation, they can only lie down.
Of course, saying that it is lying flat is just a lie on the sloth apartment, but we should attack other companies even harder!
After Gao Ming thought hard, he also provided a countermeasure to the senior management.
Slots Apartment is coming in full force, with two big killers, Shenhua Real Estate and "Real Estate Agency Simulator", and it is impossible to turn the tables in the short term. If Slots Apartment is allowed to constantly steal the high-end market that belongs to the home group, then the market share and profits will inevitably decline, and the stock price will also decline...
This is absolutely unacceptable.
So, Gao Ming thought of a solution, which was to steal the business of other small agents!
Although Home Group is currently the largest rental platform in China, its market share is only more than 60%. There are some other rental brands on the market and many small agents.
These people also have many customers and housing sources.
For the home group, the high-end area is probably not as good as the sloth apartment. It cannot move upwards, but it can sink.
As long as these other small intermediary companies can be squeezed out, the market share and profits can be stabilized!
Of course, this can only be said to be a solution, because once the strategic focus is adjusted downward, when sloth apartments deeply cultivate the high-end market, the gap and reputation of the two companies in the high-end market will only grow bigger and bigger, and there may be no possibility of turning around again in the future.
But there is no way, and the home group has no better choice.
Is it now that I will fight against the high-end market with Slots Apartment and then do useless work, which will lead to the continued decline in market share and stock prices, allowing those small intermediary companies to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of loopholes? Or will you give up fighting against Slots Apartment and grab those small intermediaries to maintain market share and stock prices?
This is a dilemma, but after so long of the entanglement, the Home Group has realized that the former is impossible and can only choose the latter.
If nothing unexpected happens, Gao Ming's plan should be approved soon.
"Hey, it would be great if there was no President Pei in this world..."
Gao Ming thinks that many bosses of companies have the same idea as him.
...
At the same time, Pei Qian, the "initiator" of everything, was working hard to resist the temptation of big TV at home while continuing to conceive his graduation thesis.
On weekdays, he always goes to the office to write papers, and the efficiency there is a little higher.
But there is no way. Today is the weekend and the office is not open.
Although Pei Qian can enter and exit at will, as a boss, he cannot make such a bad name for his employees!
When everyone sees that Mr. Pei is coming to work overtime, the direction of the wind has changed! He comes to work overtime one after another, and something big will happen.
"Do it! I can't concentrate on the weekend!"
Pei Qian struggled for a while, but still gave up resisting helplessly.
Let’s talk about the paper again on Monday.
However, he did not succumb to the temptation of big TVs and game consoles, and began to consider arranging something meaningful for this weekend, such as roughly finalizing the matter of the zoo that had been dragged for a long time.
In fact, the inspection of the candidates for the zoo principal has been underway for a while, and the site selection and structure of the zoo have also been given a lot of suggestions from Liang Qingfan.
But Pei Qian hasn't really made the decision because he has been busy writing papers on weekdays.
Now it’s the weekend and I don’t want to write a paper, so I might as well take two days to quickly finalize the zoo, so as not to worry about it all the time.
After all, the zoo project is the top priority for sudden spending.
After lunch, Xiao Sun followed Pei Qian to a private zoo in a county-level city near Jingzhou.
There is nothing special about this private zoo itself. The reason why Pei Qian came over from afar was mainly to inspect the director of the zoo.
After more than an hour's long drive, I finally arrived.
"Mr. Pei, we are here." Xiao Sun said.
Pei Qian had been sleeping in the car for two hours before turning to look out the window.
Good guy, this place is much more desolate than I thought.
Of course, it seems that desolate is not suitable, because it looks like a very ordinary suburban area of a small county town. It is not deserted, and there is a small market nearby, which is still very lively.
Pei Qian felt that this place was desolate mainly because he had a preconceived impression.
He had heard before that this was a private zoo that veterans built entirely on their own, and he thought that even if it was worse than some small zoos in small 18th-tier cities, it should be too bad, right?
Now it seems that I still lack imagination.
The entrance to the zoo is quite simple, with no door. There is a wooden table on the third and fourth-level cement stairs. A handwritten sign hanging on the table, which says the original ticket price is 20 and the children are half priced at 10 yuan. On the exterior walls on both sides of the entrance, there is a faded animal poster on one side, and on the other side are some precautions after entering the venue.
The white wall has fallen off, and the cement column is exposed on one side, and the other side has become mottled. It seems that it has been 20 or 30 years.
This is consistent with the information Pei Qian learned: this private zoo was established by a demobilized veteran named Tan Yingjiu in about 1979, and it has been thirty years now.
A man who looked over thirties sat behind the sign. After seeing Pei Qian and Xiao Sun, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Hello, is it Mr. Pei? I am Tan Xinzhang, and the principal of the kindergarten Tan Yingjiu is my father."
When inspecting the candidates, someone had already come to Tengda. Xiao Sun also made a special call before coming today, so Tan Xinzhang was waiting outside.
Tan Xinzhang never expected that Mr. Pei would come in person.
When Tengda's staff came to find out the situation, they just asked casually, without explaining their specific intentions. Tan Xinzhang felt that what kind of intersection can a large company like Tengda have with its own small zoo?
The most is the most, that is, the organization of individual employees to visit, which is already a great support.
So, Tan Xinzhang didn't care about it at all.
It was not until today that Xiao Sun called and Tan Xinzhang realized that Mr. Pei was coming.
Pei Qian shook hands with Tan Xinzhang and looked up and down.
Well, he is burly and very energetic. He should have done a lot of work in this zoo.
If something really happens, it should not be difficult to suppress ordinary animals.
"Mr. Pei, please. Our zoo is very simple, so you must forgive me."
Tan Xinzhang led Pei Qian and Xiao Sun in, introducing the history of this private zoo as he walked.
"My father worked as a soldier when he was young. He changed his career in 1979 and was originally arranged to work in a cinema. But he didn't like this kind of work very much. In his words, he often remembered the instructions of the chief in the army: after returning to his hometown, he should do something meaningful for the local people."
"My father thought, what is meaningful?"
"We are just a small county town, with less than 50,000 people in the entire urban area. They are closed and backward and have no zoo. Apart from seeing domestic animals such as cats and dogs, the citizens have never seen them at all, nor do they know wild animals."
"So my father started to think of running a zoo. At first, he simply hoped that people in our county could observe and understand wild animals up close, and those who like to eat wild game would kill fewer wild animals. He thought this was meaningful."
"Then my father tried it and used his free venue to exhibit a small number of wild animals, and it was warmly welcomed. So in 1988, my father paid for it out of his own pocket and set up a formal private zoo in this place, which took thirty years."
"At present, there are basically about twenty species of animals in my zoo, such as pythons, black bears, crocodiles, macaques, and relatively common animals such as Tibetan mastiffs, mules and horses."
"When I was the hottest, I raised lions and ostrichs, but later there were fewer and fewer people and the expenses were high. As a last resort, I had to go to Jingzhou Zoo."
"The only animals that are still raising are pythons, crocodiles, and macaques that are relatively easy to feed."
Tan Xinzhang introduced and took Pei Qian to visit these animals.
Although Pei Qian had already made some psychological preparations before coming, he was still a little shocked to see the conditions here.
The so-called beast cliffs are just a few small bungalows, some are fences and some are glass. Wild animals like pythons and macaques are all kept in the houses, and animals like Tibetan mastiffs, mules and horses are kept directly outdoors.
A man in his seventies was grey and hunched, looking like he was feeding animals seriously and cleaning.
