Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1383: The Shops Came Naturally!

Xue Zhebin was shocked by this deduction.

His first reaction was that it was a little ridiculous.

Turning an old and deserted industrial zone into a commercial zone? Was that something a human would do?

That was because the desolation of the old industrial zone was the result of a series of factors such as urban development, industrial upgrading, and so on. The best outcome of renovating the old industrial zone in other cities would be to transform it into an entrepreneurial park or something.

It would not be a problem to attract tourists after making a certain amount of reputation through special artistic means. However, it was impossible to really become prosperous and lively.

You can’t possibly point a gun at the tourists, right?

However, Boss Pei obviously did not think so. Otherwise, why would he build the roller coaster so far away from the original projects of Thriller Hostel?

It could not be to let tourists walk more, right?

Wasn’t that crazy? Definitely not.

Obviously, Boss Pei was very confident. Once the roller coaster was built, various shops would naturally appear in the surroundings to drive the development of the entire area.

The positioning of amusement parks and commercial streets actually conflicted. What’s more, it was very difficult for the two to combine.

For ordinary tourists, they could visit the commercial street often, but they would definitely not visit the amusement park often.

However, amusement parks also had a unique advantage: some special entertainment projects that commercial streets could not enjoy, such as large roller coasters and other amusement parks.

However, once these two things became one, it would be amazing!

That was because Jingzhou’s old industrial zone’s transport was not that convenient. It was not like many large shopping malls that opened in the more prosperous areas in the city center. However, its transportation conditions were not particularly remote. What’s more, the subway lines had been planned.

If it had a large roller coaster project like Operation Skylark, a gourmet, a cinema, a hotel, a clothing store, and various digital products stores, it would be very worth it for many Jingzhou locals to come and play on the weekend!

First, he would go to the roller coaster to queue. Then, based on the time that he had to queue, he would decide to drink coffee, have a meal, shop or watch a movie nearby. Otherwise, he would go to the internet cafe to play with his friends.

Wasn’t this better than many large amusement parks?

Many large amusement parks had many projects, but many of them were just there to make up the numbers. In fact, they were not that fun.

What’s more, even with Fast Pass, most projects still had to queue.

They would queue for two hours and experience for three minutes. They would not be able to complete many projects in a day. Their legs would hurt the entire time.

He arrived on the first day. He wanted to come again the next day, but he was too tired to move in the hotel.

There was no such problem in Thriller Hostel because they could shop or surf the net while queuing. The amusement park was integrated into the entire commercial district.

The experience was also not bad for foreigners. They would choose to stay in the hotel in Thriller Hostel over the weekend and choose the projects that they were interested in to experience. The rest of the time could also be freely arranged, such as watching a GPL competition.

What’s more, as Thriller Hostel’s projects increased in scale, the experience would become better!

That was because according to Boss Pei’s plan, the more fun projects Thriller Hostel had, the more shops there would be around it, and the more tourists there would be. A positive cycle would gradually form.

Of course, while this positive cycle looked beautiful, it was actually extremely difficult to achieve. Follow current s on novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

First of all, he had to have a company like Tengda that could spend a lot of money and take huge risks to create these amusement projects. These projects had to be unique and fun enough to attract enough tourists.

Secondly, the organizers of these amusement facilities had to be especially generous. They had to be open and tolerant so that the shops could be moved in at will and the surrounding space could be fully opened.

Ordinary amusement parks could not achieve the first point, and huge amusement parks could not achieve the second point.

For example, many large amusement parks would definitely hold the entire land in their hands because of the huge investment. They would easily spend billions or tens of billions of yuan. The entire construction project would last for several years or even more than ten years. There was no need to let the shops get involved if they were not allowed.

However, Boss Pei cleverly used this new model under the premise that Tengda’s current funds could not reach that size. That was why he had a win-win cooperation with these shops. It could also give tourists a better experience!

After this analysis, Xue Zhebin was even more convinced of Boss Pei.

One could say that Boss Pei’s most admirable point was that he would never be constrained to his current successful field. Instead, he would always expand into new fields and propose a new business model every time.

The most amazing thing was that only Tengda could play this new business model. No other company could.

That was amazing!

It was no wonder that Boss Li had been investing with Boss Pei. If he could copy the standard answers, why would he have to work so hard to solve the questions?

Li Shi said, “If you have spare cash on hand, you can also open a shop nearby. You just have to give Tengda a share of the profits as per the rules.”

“Chen Kangtuo has already spoken to the other departments in Tengda. Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Fish-Catching Take-Out, and other Tengda businesses will also open branches here.”

Xue Zhebin asked, “Would others see a business opportunity and come over to take advantage of it without paying?”

Li Shi smiled. “That’s impossible. A few investors and I were the first to open shops in this area. We consciously followed the rules set by Boss Pei. Would the latecomers dare to cross the line? If someone really had the courage, the shops abandoned by Tengda in the snack market would be their lesson!”

“What’s more, the development of the old industrial zone is something that has to be approved by the relevant authorities. Do you think Tengda is better at speaking or do you think other speculators from god knows where are better at using this place?”

“Look, the interview is here.”

Xue Zhebin turned around and saw someone who looked like a journalist walking past the entrance of the cafe. He was interviewing tourists, and someone was filming with a camera behind him.

“As a successful project of the old industrial zone, the response in the group is so enthusiastic. The television station will definitely spend a lot of time reporting on it. There will definitely be more support in the future.”

“If Boss Pei wants to build a new project on this land, it will definitely become smoother.”

Xue Zhebin nodded, as if he could see the old industrial zone rejuvenating.

The success of the Thriller Hostel previously was already very impressive. Now, he realized that it was only the beginning of Boss Pei’s plan!

The two of them sipped their coffee and silently experienced the drastic changes that Tengda had brought to Jingzhou.

Xue Zhebin took out his cell phone and browsed Weibo for a while. Suddenly, he said, “Eh, Boss Li, look, Boss Pei is here today! Someone took photos of him!”

Li Shi took the cell phone from Xue Zhebin. It was indeed a new back view picture.

What’s more, the photographer had done a series of analyses on this back view picture. He had summarized the previous’ world famous paintings’ and reached a conclusion: Boss Pei would only allow users to use Tengda’s projects after personally experiencing them!

Not only did this mean that Boss Pei had always been strict with his own project and set an example, but it also meant that he had always been concerned about his customers and placed consumer interests first.

The most important thing was that Boss Pei had been doing all of this silently from the beginning to the end. He had protected the rights and interests of the customers and had always used this as an excuse to promote and marketing. Instead, he had maintained a low profile and was even unknown.

The back view of Boss Pei walking against the traffic in these pictures was the best proof!

Xue Zhebin could not help but feel emotional. “Boss Pei is really an amazing person!”

“This kind of carefree and humble life is really admirable.”

“Compared to Boss Pei who started from scratch, I’m really ashamed that I can’t even do a good job now.”

Li Shi comforted him. “It’s alright. You’ll learn from Boss Pei from now on. Invest in more projects related to Boss Pei. You’ll grow slowly.”

“Talents like Boss Pei, who are self-taught, are rare after all. It’s not easy for ordinary people like us to work hard to catch up to the footsteps of geniuses.”

Xue Zhebin nodded. “Alright, I’m prepared to invest some money and open a shop nearby!”

December 31st, Monday…

Pei Qian looked at the overwhelming discussions about Thriller Hostel in his office with a confused expression.

What was going on?

It’s fine if you guys were discussing how fun the Skylark roller coaster is, but why are you guys talking about the new model that created the combination of amusement parks and commercial zones for Thriller Hostel?

And who took this photo!

I didn’t think so much. I’m just going to experience the roller coaster with Old Ma. Do you have to brag about it to me?

Pei Qian was about to die from the praise. He could not wait to dig out a two-bedroom apartment with his toes.

The key was that so many people believed it. It was ridiculous!

Of course, these superficial titles were not the most annoying thing.

The worst thing was that another large number of shops had to enter the old industrial zone. What’s more, all of them were fighting to submit their ‘protection fees’.

Pei Qian was puzzled. If you want to open one, so be it. Why are you giving me money?

The key was that he could not reject them. The more he did not accept them, the more uneasy he would feel. He would only increase the share.

Pei Qian had no other choice but to let Chen Kangtuo decide.

In any case, every sum of money that Chen Kangtuo earned now would be credited to him in the future when he suffered.

It was almost the end of the month. Half of the time had passed since the Suffering Travels.

Pei Qian felt that he could start thinking about arranging the name list for the third suffering trip. He could arrange for all the fish that had slipped through the net previously.. Chen Kangtuo and Tian Mo could forget about escaping!
