Chapter 1062: Fish-Catching Internet Cafes’ Modification: VR Experience Area!

The matter of adding more investments to the VR glasses was settled just like that.

Tengda Corporation and Shenhua Corporation would each offer another 10 million yuan to gather 40 million yuan. It would be more than enough to develop a VR lens. What’s more, the final product would definitely be the most advanced batch in the market.

However, this also posed a huge risk.

After all, the current development of the VR industry was very slow, and it was totally devoid in China. If nothing went wrong, this pair of glasses would most likely be priced at more than 4,000 yuan, and the profits would not be too high.

How many people would spend money to buy them? How many glasses would they have to sell in order to recoup their research and development costs of 40 million yuan?

If each VR glasses could earn 400 yuan, the sales would also have to reach 100,000 units to recover.

At the moment, it would be very difficult to find someone in the country who was willing to spend more than 4,000 yuan on VR glasses.

On the other hand, if he wanted to expand the user group, he would have to reduce the price and promote sales. He would also have to further minimize profits. The final sales figure would probably be much higher than this.

Pei Qian felt an inexplicable sense of happiness after some calculations.

Fortunately, my goal is to incur losses!

If his goal was to make money, he would definitely not make up his mind to do something so risky.

However, the higher the risk, the more he looked forward to it!

Pei Qian looked at his watch. It was four in the afternoon.

He had to admit that he was very efficient. It had only been slightly more than an hour since he had rushed over at three.

Money was to be spent quickly!

Pei Qian stood up and prepared to leave. Lin Chang and Lin Wan walked him out together.

However, the moment he stepped out, he saw Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin walking towards him.

“Hello, Boss Pei!” The two quickly greeted him.

Ever since Lin Wan left Shang Yang Games, Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin had taken over at the other side. Ye Zhizhou might be the person-in-charge on the surface but Wang Xiaobin was the actual person-in-charge.

The two of them worked together and handled different matters.

For example, Wang Xiaobin was in charge of developing the Fitness Battle.

After setting up Chi Xing Workspace, Pei Qian asked Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin to take the time to come over and help. He hoped that Chi Xing Workspace would quickly get on the right track so that Lin Wan would not think about returning to Tengda Corporation.

This time, Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin had obviously come to discuss work matters.

Pei Qian looked at his watch. “It’s almost time to knock off. Hurry up.”

The two of them quickly said, “Alright, Boss Pei! We’ll definitely knock off on time!”

Pei Qian pondered for a moment and said, “You have to pay more attention to Slow Movement Studio’s matters. If you can’t handle it, you can put Shang Yang Games’ work on hold. It’s alright.”

“You have to be clear about the priorities, understand?”

Both of them nodded again. “Alright, Boss Pei, we understand!”

Pei Qian was quite satisfied with their attitude. After bidding farewell to everyone, he left.

Obviously, the blame for the success of Fitness Battle should be placed on Wang Xiaobin.

However, the strange thing was that Pei Qian did not have the mood to criticize him.

Why was that so?

Perhaps it was because the success of the game was too common. What’s more, he had just been stabbed in the back by Mission and Choice. Thus, Pei Qian’s pain threshold was a little high...

However, Pei Qian did not forget to guard against Shang Yang Games’ next move.

After these two people took over as the person-in-charge of Shang Yang Games, they had already achieved success in Fitness Battle. They would definitely be ambitious enough to develop new games.

Wouldn’t he have to continue earning money by creating new games?

How could Boss Pei let them succeed so easily?

Thus, Pei Qian specially instructed them to put in more effort to help Lin Wan deal with the work at Slow Movement Studio. If they could not handle it, they could even temporarily put Shang Yang Games’ work aside.

In any case, the project for Slow Movement Studio had already been decided. One more person or one less person would not affect the progress of the project much. That would not only allow Shang Yang Games to temporarily enter a state of suspension, but also allow Lin Wan to adapt to life after leaving Tengda’s life faster. Wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone?

Of course, he could not say it too clearly.

However, Pei Qian believed that Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin would definitely take what he said very seriously.

...

Pei Qian took a car back to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe near his residence after leaving Slow Movement Studio. He planned to go home and rest after having dinner.

It was Thursday. There were fewer people in the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe than during the weekend. However, the first and second floor were still full.

However, compared to the previous scene when the internet cafe exploded in popularity, the crowded situation had improved. The entire internet cafe was almost back to normal.

Pei Qian knew that this was because the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe was opening more branches!

At the moment, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and other physical industries were mainly developing in Jingzhou, other cities in Handong Province, as well as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.

Jingzhou had many local businesses.

These old stores were no longer crowded after opening so many branches. It looked much quieter. Pei Qian felt more comfortable eating here every day.

However, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe’s current situation still worried him. Among all the physical businesses, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe had the earliest start, was the most famous, and earned the most money. What’s more, Xiao Peng was not a pushover. Pei Qian always felt insecure now that Fish-Catching Internet Cafe had evolved to the 3.0 stage.

Therefore, he would think about how to reduce Fish-Catching Internet Cafe’s income every time he ate. Today was no exception.

However, it was not that easy to think of a solution.

That was because the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe had been divided into coffee area, film area, library area, and market when it was first designed. Many useless functions had been added.

The most profitable internet area had very loose seating arrangements.

That way, it would be very difficult for the entire internet cafe to generate profits. It was also at the critical point that the System would allow.

If there was only one computer in the entire internet cafe, it would not be profitable. However, the system would not allow it.

However, even though it was difficult to earn profits, it was still profitable!

After making profits, the entire internet cafe suddenly entered a virtuous cycle. As the location was spacious, the conditions were good, and the internet cafe was rich in functions, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe became synonymous with high-end internet cafes. When people nearby mentioned high-end internet cafes, the first thing they thought of was Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.

Some people even made phone calls to make appointments and charged large sums of money just to occupy their spots in advance.

The other businesses in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe also made a lot of money. For example, the drinks at the bar counter, as well as the market on the second floor, took up a huge portion of the internet cafe’s income.

Pei Qian wanted to make some changes, but it was difficult to do so now.

After visiting Slow Movement Studio today, Pei Qian suddenly had an idea.

This idea quickly formed a perfect plan in his mind!

Pei Qian immediately called Xiao Peng and asked him to come over.

Xiao Peng had become a busy man ever since Fish-Catching Internet Cafe’s business entered the first-tier cities. He often flew between several cities. Fortunately, he happened to be in Jingzhou this week, so he arrived quickly.

Xiao Peng was very happy to see Boss Pei.

However, Pei Qian stopped him before he could say anything.

Xiao Peng immediately understood. There were too many people in the shop. He could not expose himself.

There were many regular customers in the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. However, because Tengda was good at keeping it a secret, these regular customers thought that Pei Qian was only Boss Pei’s actor and not the real Boss Pei. Only the employees in the internet cafe knew his true identity, and the employees were very cooperative with his acting.

As for Xiao Peng, as the person-in-charge of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, he had appeared in public before. However, not many people knew him. Most people did not care who the boss of the chain internet cafe was or what he looked like.

Thus, Xiao Peng and Pei Qian were like ordinary customers, walking around Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.

Xiao Peng looked very expectant because Boss Pei had not looked for him for a long time!

The last time Boss Pei guided Fish-Catching Internet Cafe was when he opened the branch in a first-tier city. However, that was not true guidance. Instead, it was a hint from Boss Pei after he sent a large number of advertisements to first-tier cities.

This kind of detailed face-to-face guidance had to be traced back to when Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 3.0 had been successful. However, Boss Pei had only allowed Xiao Peng to continue opening branches at that time. He had not given any substantial guidance or suggestions.

Everyone knew that nothing was more precious than Boss Pei’s personal guidance in Tengda.

That was because Boss Pei had a deep understanding of the rules of business. His guidance was very philosophical and foreseeable. As long as he analyzed it seriously, he would definitely be able to make a huge leap in the business he was in charge of in the short term!

However, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe had not received any suggestions from Boss Pei for more than nine months. Fish-Catching Internet Cafe was doing well and was making good progress in first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou but Xiao Peng still felt uneasy.

Boss Pei finally remembered about Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and was going to guide them. How could he not be excited?

Pei Qian and Xiao Peng arrived at the second floor of the internet cafe.

“Do you know about Slow Movement Studio?” Pei Qian asked.

Xiao Peng nodded. “I know. I heard that Slow Movement Studio is developing a VR game?”

Pei Qian pointed at the console on the second floor of the internet cafe. “Once Slow Movement Studio’s VR game is completed, the original gaming area on the second floor will be changed to the VR gaming area. All of them will be equipped with new VR head gear and controllers!”

There were many branches in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 1.0. The shops were rented, and there were many differences in their structure. Thus, the layout was different.

However, on the whole, they were divided into gaming areas, bar counter, coffee area, book area, selling area, and small movie halls.

Smaller internet cafes might not have mini cinemas or bookstores, while larger internet cafes would categorize games into two floors. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ Firᴇ

Pei Qian wanted to change the entire gaming area on the second floor, which was half of all available computers, into VR equipment!

The reason was simple: VR took up more space.
