Chapter 148 Fishing Touch Internet Cafe, Ming Yun Mountain Villa Branch

Pei Qian, along with Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan, was surveying potential locations for a new high-end restaurant.

In fact, they had already walked around all the shops nearby and had a general understanding of the commercial environment in this area.

In short, the environment was very deserted, and President Pei was very satisfied.

Some shops were originally planned around Ming Yun Mountain Villa, but because this place hadn't been hyped up and the occupancy rate of the villas was not high, many shops closed down one after another because they couldn't recover costs due to the lack of customer traffic.

Now, the rent for many shops is very cheap, basically at about 70% of the market average.

A few days ago, Pei Qian tentatively finalized two or three shops that he liked, all located deeper inside the Ming Yun Mountain Villa branch of Fishing Touch Internet Cafe.

These shops had several things in common. First, they were all spacious and large, which met President Pei's needs for large-scale team building dinners. Second, they were all in the middle of a bunch of closed shops, the surrounding environment seemed very deserted, and they wouldn't attract attention in normal times. Third, transportation was not particularly convenient.

There were many places to park nearby, but after parking, it took a certain distance to walk to the restaurant's location.

Therefore, today Pei Qian planned to do one last survey to finalize this location, and then he could sign the contract and start the decoration.

If all went well, maybe he could bring his employees over for their first big meal next month.

Zhang Yuan was still silently following behind President Pei and Ma Yang, marveling at how President Pei's actions were becoming increasingly unexpected.

The location of this restaurant was chosen with such imagination...

When Zhang Yuan first heard that President Pei was going to do high-end catering, he was quite happy, feeling that this time he finally thought the same thing as President Pei.

At that time, Fishing Touch Takeaway would do low-end, everyday catering, and then add a high-end catering brand to supplement it. The two could complement each other, how great!

According to Zhang Yuan's idea, this high-end restaurant should be opened directly in the city center, it would definitely be very popular and crowded!

However, President Pei's next move directly made him unable to understand.

He actually picked a shop near the most dismal Ming Yun Mountain Villa branch?

Ming Yun Mountain Villa is located in the southeast of Jingzhou City, which is already a very remote location.

If this restaurant was opened in the city center, it could radiate to the entire Jingzhou City, even the surrounding remote areas could drive to the city center in about an hour.

Of course, that's assuming there's no traffic jam.

But now, the restaurant is located in the southeast of Jingzhou City, so if customers from the north and west of Jingzhou City want to eat, they have to drive across the entire Jingzhou City, which may take more than an hour, almost two hours.

And then after dinner, they'll run into the evening rush hour and drive back for another two hours...

That's too suffocating...

Moreover, the commercial environment here is really bad, there are no supporting facilities. People come all the way here just to have a meal?

No matter how he thought about it, it felt a bit outrageous.

However, President Pei had already said his reason for choosing this location: he was certain that this area near the Ming Yun Mountain Villa branch would definitely become Jingzhou City's new commercial center, so this could be considered an early layout.

From this point of view, President Pei was consistent in his words and deeds.

But no matter how Zhang Yuan looked at it, he didn't think this place had the appearance of a new commercial center, it looked like it was going to flop...

The three of them walked and looked around.

Suddenly, Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up.

He saw that there was actually a store under construction and being renovated!

This was a two-story store, and it looked quite impressive.

Zhang Yuan remembered that the last time he came, this place was still closed and deserted.

How come it had been taken over in just a few days?

Zhang Yuan went to the store entrance and randomly grabbed a worker who was renovating and asked a few questions.

Only then did he learn that a coffee shop was going to open here!

Judging from the looks of it, it should be directly targeting the high-income people in Ming Yun Mountain Villa.

It was conceivable that this coffee shop would definitely affect the business of Fishing Touch Internet Cafe, diverting some customers, after all, it was closer to the Ming Yun Mountain Villa villa area, about a ten-minute walk away.

But, it would also make this place seem less deserted!

President Pei's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to walk forward.

At this time, they arrived at the first location they had previously liked.

The shop that Pei Qian had taken a fancy to was originally in the middle of a large group of closed shops. These closed shops were deserted, and hiding the restaurant inside could achieve a perfect hiding effect.

However, a large shop closest to the roadside was also being renovated!

Zhang Yuan went up and asked again, and learned that a bar was going to open here, and judging from the size of the shop and the degree of luxury of the decoration, this bar was definitely not a small bar!

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but look at President Pei with extremely admiring eyes.

President Pei's business acumen was really amazing!

Just a few days ago, he said that the commercial environment here would have rapid development and would become Jingzhou City's next popular business district, and a few days later, someone actually came to invest!

Although it still looked deserted and no one came here, as long as the supporting facilities could keep up, it would definitely gradually become lively.

At that time, opening a high-end restaurant here, and then the customers could go to the bar at the door for a few drinks after dinner, and the attraction would be different!

President Pei's vision was still so sharp, everything was under control!

And the corners of Pei Qian's mouth were twitching slightly at this time.

Who is this???

I finally found a deserted place, what do you mean by running over to make trouble?

This place is already so deserted, and you're still investing money here, opening a coffee shop and a bar, aren't you afraid of losing money?

If I lose money, the system will compensate me, if you lose money, isn't it a pure loss?

Harming others and yourself, it's simply sick!

Pei Qian was speechless. I just wanted to find a quiet place to peacefully lose money, how come someone is coming to join in the fun?

The key is, with a bar and a coffee shop nearby, it might really attract some customers from Ming Yun Mountain Villa.

Building my high-end restaurant in this place is too easy to expose!

What if people want to wander around after drinking, and accidentally wander into my restaurant?

It would increase so much customer traffic for no reason!

Who is so idle that they want to invest money in this place...

Pei Qian suddenly thought of something and instantly understood.

Oh, it must be the person who was previously inquiring about Fishing Touch Internet Cafe's information!

He really took my false information seriously!

He probably really thought that the area near the Ming Yun Mountain Villa branch was going to become popular, so he came here to invest and open a shop, thinking that he could make a lot of money in the future.

Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh, buddy, you're quick...

I just released this fake news not long ago, and you've already taken the bait, how much do you have to believe me...

The confusion on Pei Qian's face quickly turned into a smile.

Since that's the case, it's exactly what I wanted!

You come here to burn money and open a shop, diverting the customer traffic of Fishing Touch Internet Cafe, you're completely burning yourself to illuminate me!

Although it has caused some interference to my high-end restaurant's location selection and increased the risk of exposure, it doesn't matter, I haven't decided on the location yet, I can just change to another place!

Pei Qian directly gave up the current location and continued to walk forward.

Ma Yang immediately followed, while Zhang Yuan was a little confused, looking at the bar being renovated, and then looking at President Pei who was resolutely leaving, feeling a little at a loss.

After being stunned for a while, he trotted a few steps to catch up.

What does this mean?

Isn't it better for our restaurant if there are more shops here? Shouldn't we just finalize this location?

Why did President Pei leave without looking back?

Although he was full of doubts, he didn't dare to ask too much, and just silently followed behind.
