At 11 in the morning, Dawn of Prosperous City district…
Li Shi strolled to the butler’s room on the first floor.
“Eh? Boss Li!” Song Kai greeted Li Shi passionately.
Boss Li was not only a Sloth Apartments’ resident now.
He was also Boss Pei’s good friend, partner, and the person who successfully answered the meaning of the Sloth Apartments and made it popular instantly!
Even Song Kai, the person-in-charge of this Sloth Apartments, did not expect Boss Pei’s deep meaning to be something like this.
Therefore, Song Kai was now filled with respect for Boss Li; he treated him as Boss Pei’s best friend.
“Boss Li, you seem to be in good spirits today?” Song Kai realized that Li Shi’s face was ruddy and beaming.
Li Shi smiled and nodded. “Yes, by the way, how is the situation with Sloth Apartments recently?”
“You should have seen Teacher Qiao’s video, too, right?”
“Of course, that video is going viral on the net now! It was uploaded late at night yesterday, but it is now on the first page of the Aili Island website. The popularity is truly scary,” Song Kai replied happily.
“The Sloth Apartments is about to be fully rented out thanks to you and Teacher Qiao! The two blocks at Binhu District were now full of people. More than half of the residential-commercial buildings have been rented out. I would have never dreamt of these results previously!”
Li Shi smiled slightly. “This timing is right with heaven and earth. It is your luck if that were to happen!”
“Moreover, only 10% of Boss Pei’s success is attributable to luck, the remaining 90% is the result of strategy.”
Song Kai strongly believed.
In his opinion, the Sloth Apartments was originally a business model completely unacceptable to customers, but these three incidents have completely reversed the customers’ views!
First, all major rental brands had reported that their formaldehyde levels were over the limit while the Sloth Apartments was conscientious of their renovations. It stood out amongst the many rental brands and built on its quality and reputation.
Song Kai originally prepared a video with Fei Huang Workspace to expose this matter as well, but they were one step slower.
It seemed like a coincidence on the surface, but in fact, it was inevitable. Clashes of topics between the UP Masters were a common occurrence; moreover, these rental housing brands had been expanding on a large scale during the past months. The problem with formaldehyde housing intensified so someone would come forward to expose it sooner or later.
However, that could also make the quality of the Sloth Apartments unanimously recognized by everyone. They still disagreed with its philosophy and business model.
Right on the heels of that, Boss Li’s interview on his interpretation of the Sloth Apartments was aired, allowing everyone to understand the profound meaning behind the Sloth Apartments.
Renting this place was not only renting a living space… but a space for thinking.
That added extra value to the Sloth Apartments in a swoop!
Finally, Teacher Qiao even combined the content expressed in the game ‘Struggle’ with related industries of Tengda, further increasing the value of the Sloth Apartments!
What Boss Pei wanted to express was: everyone should spend money in places where they really needed it such as leveraging their attention to create even greater value; that was the real struggle.
Moreover, the Sloth Apartments fit that point perfectly. Therefore, it further stimulated everyone to rent it!
So far, only two types of people have come to rent the Sloth Apartments.
The first type was like Boss Li who was not short of money.
They did not intend to make the Sloth Apartments their only residence so they spent this money solely for the quiet and place to think.
To these people, the benefits of making the right decision may be far greater than the Sloth Apartment’s whole year’s rent.
The second category was the more creative occupations such as painter, writer, musicians, live streamers, UP Masters, architects, etc.
These people needed such an environment to calm down and think. At the same time, housekeeping, cleaning, and Fish-Catching Take-Out allowed them to live comfortably without the need to worry about basic life issues.
Some people, who did not live in Jingzhou, specially rented a unit in Sloth Apartments because they were attracted to the life in Jingzhou.
Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Fish-Catching Take-Out, Thriller Hostel, and GOG’s regular events make some rich people feel that renting an additional house in Jingzhou seems to be a good choice when they want to take a rest.
Moreover, similar emerging careers such as live streamers and UP Masters also felt that Jingzhou was more livable.
The explanation that Boss Pei added for the Sloth Apartments also played a very important role, but it did not seem that prominent compared to the first three reasons.
Song Kai could not help but sigh. Boss Pei was amazing; this combination of attacks made the popularity of Sloth Apartments soar upon success!
The model that even Liang Qingfan did was not optimistic about was made successful forcibly by Boss Pei!
One had to know just how difficult it was to create a new model and make it successful in the physical industry.
However, Boss Pei was someone who could make anything successful!
Every project in the Tengda Life App was the condensed form of Boss Pei’s wisdom.
Song Kai said with emotion, “Boss Li, I really don’t know how to thank you. That interview really helped a lot.”
Li Shi smiled. “There is no need to thank me; the rewards I received are much bigger than that of the Sloth Apartments.”
Song Kai paused. “Huh?”
Boss Li received rewards?
Impossible, Boss Li did not invest in the Sloth Apartments, right?
“Do you know why the investors and I suddenly came to rent a unit in the Sloth Apartments? Actually, it is not just to show support to Boss Pei; neither was it on a whim.” Li Shi smiled and explained.
“These investors were worried about Thriller Hostel!
“They have all invested a lot of money into the Thriller Hostel, but the Thriller Hostel by then was barely making enough to cover the operating expenses. It could not make much money at all and was very far from breaking even.
“They asked me what to do, but I couldn’t help it because—in my opinion—the Thriller Hostel had done everything it could for its content and its publicity. The design of the three major projects had their own characteristics; even the shopping mall was made into the Golden Maze. How else could this be improved?”
“Therefore, I felt that only Boss Pei could make the Thriller Hostel advance to the next step!
“The way to make Boss Pei contribute is to support him. That was why I brought the investors over with me to rent the Sloth Apartments.
“I’ve finally received my reward!
“I asked Chen Kangtuo just now. He said that the number of people who pre-purchased the Thriller Hostel package this morning had skyrocketed!
“Obviously, the Thriller Hostel had also become part of Boss Pei’s lifestyle. Those who come to Jingzhou for a tour must go to the Thriller Hostel to take a look no matter what!
“It is conceivable that the sales in the Golden Maze would surely skyrocket too since three projects of the Thriller Hostel are so popular.
“Therefore, the participating investors in the Thriller Hostel had also received our rewards!
“Of course, the most important gain we have obtained is the way of Boss Pei’s thinking. We feel that our thinking has become more crisp and clear after living here for some time. It has helped us calm down and make better investment decisions.
“Therefore, there is no need to thank me. I have received enough rewards.”
Song Kai realized now. “I see!”
It seemed like Boss Pei’s big move created an AOE injury!
Not only did it set the Sloth Apartments on fire but also the bunch of industries in the Thriller Hostel and the Tengda Life App!
Li Shi smiled. “I also learned Boss Pei’s method.”
“Those who do not seek the overall situation cannot see a twist; those who do not seek general trends would not be able to seek the right moment.
“As a successful entrepreneur, you have to look at the overall situation, not just focus on a project.
“It’s just like the industries in Tengda Life App; every single item isn’t bad, but it is far from obtaining the current effect. They can exert a terrific cluster effect if they were all integrated!
“Boss Pei is really admirable!”
Song Kai could not help but nod. “Yes, he is indeed admirable.”
The door to the lift opened; it was Pei Qian, about to go for some food in the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.
He happened to run into the two chatting.
Song Kai and Li Shi did not know that Boss Pei just woke up. They thought that he was just done with his morning meditations.
Both of them showed smiles of admiration and nodded towards Boss Pei.
“Boss Pei, Good day to you!”
Pei Qian nodded subconsciously. “Oh, good afternoon.”
He was about to walk out of the door after the greetings when he realized that something was not right.
The smile on their faces caused him the creeps…
He felt that there must be some meaning behind the smiles.
Pei Qian thought of writing an explanation on the main pages of the Sloth Apartments and Fully-Automated Bickering Machine after they went on fire due to Li Shi’s interview.
It was useless!
Not only did they not believe it, but they were still going all-out to buy them!
Therefore, Pei Qian could only give up helplessly. He had been pondering on how to spend the sudden windfall while watching GOG’s international tournament.
However, he felt a chill permeating his entire being today.
Pei Qian felt more unease. He sat down at the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and took out his cell phone.
He suddenly found Teacher Qiao’s video that was released late last night!
?
A question mark floated above Pei Qian’s head.
Why did Teacher Qiao upload another video?
Pei Qian was even more baffled as he looked at the title.
Still harping on ‘Struggle’?
Old Qiao, that was no longer trendy!
I might feel a little afraid if you were to upload this earlier. However, He An had already dug everything regarding this up. There was nothing more you could do.
Why are you still harping on ‘Struggle’? Don’t you know when to give up?
Don’t you know that you should eat the food while it was hot?
Pei Qian’s mouth could not help but twitch upwards.
However, Pei Qian still clicked on it and watched the video from start to end due to his respect for Teacher Qiao.
His expression quickly became dull; his eyes and mouth grew huge at alarming rates.
He was so shocked by what he saw that he also spat the coffee out.
“What the f*ck is this?!”
“A load of nonsense!!!”
