Chapter 128 Snack Delivery

Pei Qian didn't give the three of them a chance to hesitate and directly assigned tasks.

"Well then, Chef Lin, you will be responsible for researching this matter. Let's do a pilot program at this internet cafe."

"As for the specific dishes, delivery range, how to make the ordering website or software, and how to promote it in the early stages..."

"Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan, you two will put in the effort. Get the plan to me in a while. Ideally, you should have a general idea this week, and officially start business next week."

Ma Yang thumped his chest. "Don't worry, Brother Qian, leave it to me!"

Similar delivery services had existed for a long time. After all, Mo Yu Internet Cafe was currently responsible for all Tengda employees' work meals, which already required delivery.

Now, it was just a matter of perfecting some details and hiring a few more delivery people to take care of the surrounding area.

Of course, Mo Yu's takeaway business would definitely be centered on Mo Yu Internet Cafe, radiating outwards.

They would only deliver to the area within 2 kilometers of Mo Yu Internet Cafe. In the future, as more and more Mo Yu Internet Cafes opened, they would naturally achieve the goal of covering the entire city.

Strictly speaking, this kind of mixed-bag approach was very uneconomical and unscientific.

But what Pei Qian wanted was uneconomical and unscientific, because he was still counting on Mo Yu Internet Cafe to lose him money!

If the physical store only did one thing, such as only running an internet cafe, restaurant, bar, or takeaway service… with Pei Qian's massive investment, it might actually slowly turn a profit.

After all, the system had many restrictions on Pei Qian. He couldn't use inferior products, so no matter how much money he spent, the service and goods would fluctuate within a reasonable range. Regardless of whether the price was high or low, there would be a corresponding target audience.

Making Mo Yu Internet Cafe into a mixed bag would naturally allow the several parts to hold each other back, so that he could achieve his goal of losing money well.

Pei Qian was very satisfied with the current state of Mo Yu Internet Cafe.

And among them, Pei Qian was most satisfied with the catering situation, so he naturally wanted to continue to carry it forward.

Hiring a few more chefs wouldn't cost much, but what about hiring a few more takeaway delivery guys, a few more dishwashing and disinfecting workers, and a few website and app developers?

When there were several Mo Yu Internet Cafes, the losses would be multiplied by several times. Where could you find such a good thing?

Pei Qian entrusted this important task to Lao Ma, which could be said to be placing great hopes on him.

It was also good to find something for Lao Ma to do, so he wouldn't binge eat every day because Chen Lei had left. It would be bad if he got fat.

After arranging the tasks for the next period of time, Pei Qian finally felt relieved. The spark of fire in Mo Yu Internet Cafe was discovered and decisively extinguished by President Pei in a timely manner, without developing into a prairie fire. Perfect!

…

June 10th.

Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd.

Pei Qian was slightly concerned about the development progress of the new versions of several games.

There was still a little more than a week left before the originally scheduled development deadline, and a few days had to be set aside for testing, so by now, the development of most of the functions was almost complete.

As for art resources, they had not all been handed over yet. After all, the original paintings for *Gui Jiang* had all been handed over to Ruan Guangjian. This was a matter of slow work producing fine results, so there was no need to rush.

As long as all these art resources were in place before the new version update on June 18th, that would be fine.

After all, art resources were different from program functions. There would be no bugs, and it would not affect the player's game experience.

Pei Qian roughly ran through the new functions of the new version and looked at the new props to be sold.

Anyway, he knew that the new versions of these games were roughly going to make money, and the amount of money made was within the expected range, so Pei Qian didn't care so much.

There were a lot of updates, but they were mainly in terms of art resources.

*Lonely Desert Road* added ten sets of new map scenes and an endless mode. Pei Qian felt that this was the least likely to make money. Although the 1 RMB DLC price was very conscientious, Pei Qian felt that not many people would buy the DLC and run another trip in a new scene.

*Gui Jiang* updated fifty martial generals and counted them in the DLC, selling for 5 RMB. Pei Qian felt that this had a medium-to-high probability of making money, but considering that the cost of the fifty martial generals themselves was high, costing a full 250,000 RMB, it meant that 100,000 sets had to be sold to break even.

Pei Qian estimated that it would mostly break even, but the possibility of making too much money should not be great.

The DLC for *Game Producer* sold for 5 RMB, and it was basically fluctuating between making money and not making money.

The biggest problem was *Fortress at Sea*.

*Fortress at Sea* added new plots, new scenes, new characters, and new guns, all of which were free. The only charging point was a new epic weapon, and it was limited.

888 RMB for an item limited to 500 pieces a month, which meant that after deducting platform commissions and taxes, Pei Qian would earn a maximum of 200,000 RMB this month.

The main income of *Fortress at Sea* came from the rapid expansion of the user base and the resulting sales of the Huoqilin (Fire Kirin). Adding tens of thousands of new players every month, a small portion of whom would buy the Fire Kirin, was also a large sum of money.

Calculated in this way, the money earned from the new epic weapon was actually just a drop in the bucket.

From the perspective of a single month, it was difficult to recover the development cost of the new version with this 200,000 RMB income, but the system did not judge it as a violation, mainly because it was a long-term business.

Once the new content was launched, it could earn so much every month in the next few months, but the new version development cost would not increase again. Considering the promotional effect of the new version on the game, the continued popularity of current players, the return of old players, and other factors, from a long-term perspective, this was not considered malicious loss.

Therefore, the new epic weapon of *Fortress at Sea* would be 100% swiped to death, but no matter how much the players swiped, it was just players snapping it up from each other. Tengda would not earn a penny more, and Pei Qian was not worried at all.

Following the launch of the Fire Kirin last time, the new epic weapon launched by *Fortress at Sea* this time was the Barrett Devastator.

Seeing this coquettish sniper rifle, Pei Qian couldn't help but smile knowingly.

He seemed to be able to see Lu Mingliang's deep resentment from this gun.

Lu Mingliang had reported before that the news that the new epic weapon of *Fortress at Sea* was limited to 500 pieces had caused fierce protests from players, and whether it could be changed to 5,000 pieces was rejected by Pei Qian.

Obviously, Lu Mingliang had put a lot of effort into this gun, doing his best to make money for Pei Qian.

As a sniper rifle, the Barrett Devastator was better than the Fire Kirin in terms of both styling and practicality, but so what?

But Pei Qian didn't care about this at all, 500 pieces was 500 pieces. I'll lose if I sell one more!

It's limited, so it can't make me money anymore, right?

After checking all the new version updates, Pei Qian expressed his satisfaction. At least Tengda was still under his control.

As for Shang Yang Games, the reputation of the old game had been revived, but too many profit points had been cut, and it was still difficult to recover the cost for the time being. Pei Qian estimated that there should be no problems before this settlement.

In the future, continue to strictly guard against and closely monitor the game's profit data, and there would be no problems.

What Huang Si Bo was filming was a documentary. Even if he made money, Pei Qian could rely on the five Mo Yu Internet Cafes that were steadily losing money to offset all the profits.

Adding in the daily expenses, employee benefits, and then engaging in a surprise spending spree...

Pei Qian felt that it shouldn't be a big problem to lose one or two million this time!

Of course, he still couldn't be careless.

Every time before when Pei Qian felt that he would lose money, the employees would always give him some unexpected surprises, making Pei Qian's little heart a little unbearable to this kind of stimulation.

This time, Pei Qian was walking on thin ice. He must not relax his vigilance until the final moment of settlement!
