Li Shi finished smoking a cigarette silently at the entrance of the Moyu Internet Cafe.

After listening to his subordinates' reports, Li Shi fell into deep suspicion of his judgment.

Although Fuhui Capital is not a particularly top investment company in the country, there should be no company in the territory of Jingzhou, right?

However, even though he had reported himself to his home, Mr. Pei was still indifferent and refused to light speed?

This seems a bit unreasonable.

After all, similar investment behaviors are very common in this circle.

When venture capital comes to the door, most people will choose to talk first and see the conditions offered by the other party.

If you are really dissatisfied and cannot reach an agreement, at most you will be separated. If you find opportunities to cooperate in the future, there will be no loss.

It is rare to refuse without asking questions like this.

After all, Li Shi is a mature investor and has not been easily defeated by this little accident. He dissipated the smell of smoke on his body and returned to the Moyu Internet Cafe again.

Li Shi noticed that Pei Qian had stopped writing and drawing on the notebook, but he still looked at the notebook with a serious expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

If he had not trusted his subordinates enough, Li Shi would even question whether President Pei had received the olive branch he had given.

"Strangely, he was indifferent to my investment."

“Is my judgment wrong?”

"Although Mr. Pei is temporarily in trouble and the Internet cafe has been losing money, he is still in a tough position and thinks he can turn losses into profits?"

"I can provide him with a lot of funding and cooperation opportunities. Could it be that Mr. Pei believes that absolute control is more important than this?"

"Anyway, he seems to be a very controlful person and he is not allowed to interfere."

"Ha, young people are young people. If you want to eat alone, this is not the idea that a good entrepreneur should have."

From any angle, it is difficult for Li Shi to understand why Mr. Pei refused his investment so decisively.

The key is that the rejection is too straightforward and I don’t even ask about the specific plan.

Li Shi could only think of one explanation, that is, this Pei is always a naughty person, a very paranoid person, and has a strong desire to control his own industry and does not want anyone to be pointed at by anyone.

Of course, on the other hand, it also shows that Mr. Pei still firmly believes that the route of this Internet cafe is fine and will definitely turn losses into profits in the future, so he does not want to share the fruits of victory with others.

Although Li Shi can find Pei Qian directly to make it clear now, he does not intend to do so.

After all, he is also the boss of an investment company. How can he do such a shameless thing?

If Mr. Pei handed over the business card and said politely, wouldn’t he be embarrassed?

What's more, based on the previous situation, it is very likely to be turned away again.

"Hmph, young man, no one can reject my investment, and you will be no exception."

"It's the same investment, some companies are reluctant to ask for it, some companies accept it happily, while some companies need some small help..."

Li Shi silently observed Pei Qian, with a confident smile on his lips.

June 24.

Moyu Internet Cafe, flagship store.

A taxi was parked at the door, and Ma Yang pushed open the door and got out of the car and entered the Internet cafe.

"Mr. Ma, have you finished the exam? How is the exam?" Zhang Yuan greeted enthusiastically when he saw Ma Yang coming.

Ma Yang found a seat to sit down casually, stretched his waist, and his long face stretched longer because of yawning: "A class that is not very important, there is no problem passing the exam."

"I also copied my homework after class to Brother Qian, and at least helped him get an extra 10 points of normal score. I think he will not pursue the losses of Internet cafes and takeaways within at least one or two months."

Zhang Yuan was in awe of grace.

Sure enough, is this the so-called "someone in the court can do things easily"?

Zhang Yuan had a little puzzled before, why a person like Ma Yang could be appointed as the general manager of Moyu Internet Cafe, and now he fully understands.

I even think this is for granted.

Although saying this makes people feel that Ma Yang has obtained this key position by relying on some improper relationships, it is also very comfortable for Zhang Yuan to follow a leader like Ma Yang.

At least you don’t have to worry about being held accountable by Mr. Pei!

The waiter had already brought a cold drink. Ma Yang was drinking it while sighing: "Although that's it, we have to continue our efforts."

"I originally expected takeaway to turn losses into profits, but now it's better, takeaway will also lose money..."

Zhang Yuan was also worried when he heard this: "Yes, Mr. Pei was writing and drawing with a small notebook here two days ago. His expression was very serious, and he didn't know what he was writing."

Since sending Chen Lei away last time, Ma Yang has been a little slumped.

In order to make him find something to do again, Pei Qian specially handed him over the important task of fishing and takeaway.

Ma Yang was really motivated at the beginning, recruiting food delivery staff, buying dishwasher, and finding someone to develop the first version of the app. Finally, he found that no one ordered food at all...

Raising a group of people in vain has added another expense.

Of course, it cannot be said that no one ordered fish takeaway at all. There are still some customers who like this taste, but it is difficult to recover the cost.

The problems are multifaceted:

Mr. Pei is very opposed to "ground promotion" promotion methods such as distributing flyers, so so far, not many people know how to eat fish and takeout;

The app for Moyu Takeaway only provides its own food and does not integrate other merchants, which is seriously insufficient to attract ordinary customers;

They are all home-cooked dishes, the dishes are relatively simple, and the pricing is much more expensive than ordinary home-cooked dishes.

In short, due to exposure and general consumer concepts, stupao takeaway is not running at full capacity at all, and many employees have nothing to do.

According to the original plan, the delivery staff can deliver several stores at a time, and the delivery staff can also collect tableware from several stores at a time. However, now because there are too few customers, they only go to the same set of tableware.

Although the tableware is good, it will inevitably be damaged or lost. According to Pei Qian's requirements, even if similar situations occur, the customer will not be held accountable unless it is discovered that there are deliberate damages for five or three times.

Although there is no such customer who deliberately seeks fault for the time being, the accidental damage to the tableware still makes Ma Yang feel pain.

Judging from this situation, it is basically impossible to make money.

Both of them were a little silent.

Ma Yang drank a drink and looked around the situation in the Internet cafe, and his brows suddenly frowned: "Strange, why do you feel that there are very few people in the store today?"

Zhang Yuan was stunned: "Oh? Is that right?"

He didn't pay attention at all. After all, there are not many people in the Moyu Internet Cafe during the day, and there are only more than a dozen people surfing the Internet all year round, and the number of people drinking coffee is similar.

It's another weekday morning, so it's normal to have fewer people.

But after Ma Yang said this, Zhang Yuan did notice that there seemed to be very few people today!

There are only two people playing in the Internet cafe area, while there is only one customer in the coffee area.

"Maybe it was a coincidence." Zhang Yuan said.

The two of them were wondering that the Internet cafe door was opened, and a deliveryman who was scrambling to takeout ran over with several flyers in his hand and looked hurriedly.

"Mr. Ma, Mr. Zhang, something happened!"

"You guys look at these flyers!"

Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan were a little confused, so they took the flyer from the deliveryman.

Although the current operating conditions of Moyu Takeaway are not very good, there are still some customers. Obviously, the takeawayman went out to deliver food and saw something on the way back.

There are several flyers, including Internet cafes, cafes and bars, and there are several repeated flyers mixed in between. Maybe the delivery guy took the repetition in a hurry.

Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan spread the leaflets on the table and checked them one by one.

Internet cafe, recharge discounts, limited time discounts!

Cafes and bars, there are also activities such as alcohol discounts, and a second glass of half price!

Ma Yang was a little puzzled: "What does this have to do with us?"

The deliveryman was a little breathing: "Mr. Ma, these, these stores are all around us!"

Zhang Yuan frowned and instantly realized that something was wrong!

When you look closely, it turns out that these stores are indeed around the Moyu Internet Cafe flagship store, not far away.

Ma Yang's long face was also instantly tense, realizing the seriousness of the problem: "Is this... Could it be targeting us?"

He thought about it and shook his head, "No, we don't seem to offend anyone, nor have we ever fought a price war with them. Are these stores targeting this way?"

Ma Yang wondered, logically, if the Internet cafe in Moyu is booming and steals other people's business, then it would be fine.

The key is that the Internet cafes are so deserted now. Is it interesting to still target this kind of target?

Zhang Yuan's face became even more serious: "Not necessarily."

"Although Moyu Internet Cafe is losing money, as long as our stores are still open, it will be competitive with these stores. Maybe they just want to add insults and will not stop until they see Moyu Internet Cafe go bankrupt?"

"And, Internet cafes, bars, cafes, and so many stores are organizing discount activities together, it seems like there is a tacit understanding... Maybe someone is pushing this behind it!"
