"Forget it, no more playing!
"Qin Shang, let's go and relax with me."
Li Rushan threw the handle aside and stood up.
Qin Shang asked: "Mr. Li, where do you want to relax?"
Li Rushan thought for a while: "Let's go shopping in Yangcheng!"
Qin Shang was a little surprised. Why did he suddenly think of going to Yangcheng? He originally thought that Li Rushan was just visiting Jinghai, or at most returning to his hometown of Jingzhou. Why go to Yangcheng?
Li Rushan looked at him: "I'm going to visit my store to relieve my depression!"
Qin Shang suddenly realized that this was the case!
For Li Rushan, the recent period has been quite difficult. First, the second-generation investors gave him franchise fees one by one, which made him bear a huge burden out of thin air. Then, the continued popularity of "Doubo Martial Arts", and the momentum of both games and movies was quite good, which gave him a headache. Incomparably huge.
Although there may be a cap agreement on the investment with 404 Studio, it is still a lot of money!
The key is to unconditionally postpone it to the next issue.
The most fatal thing was that the news that Lu Zhixing was Lu Renjia was so shocking that Li Rushan had unprecedented doubts about Wolong, whom he was optimistic about. And the fact that Lu Zhixing disappeared on the spot made Li Rushan even more flustered.
In this case, Li Rushan just wanted to change his environment to be quiet and quiet.
As for why you chose Yangcheng instead of Jingzhou?
On the one hand, it is because Yangcheng is the closest to Jinghai, and on the other hand, it is because there are industries in Yangcheng that he has indirectly invested in.
That’s right, it’s a chain of offline physical stores!
Most of these second-generation investors choose to develop in different cities. Especially when they opened the Yufeng Parkour Climbing Gym before, Yang Changqing and Tu Le had already coordinated and opened branches in different cities.
After all, in their circle, shopping malls are like battlefields. Brothers don't have to fight for food in one place. It's better to spread out to various cities to steal business from outsiders.
The parkour climbing gym opened by Tule happens to be in Yangcheng.
After all, Tu Le's father had also participated in this game design competition in Jinghai with Li Rushan before, so this area was an area they were familiar with.
Toule and Yang Changqing are the second generation investors who trust Li Rushan more. They were the most active in opening a chain store of Yufeng Parkour Climbing Gym before.
Especially Tu Le, his speech at that dinner was so crucial that it was almost difficult for Li Rushan to defend him. Therefore, Li Rushan also bore the most grudge against him.
The franchise fee he received for no reason made Li Rushan depressed for a few days, but he quickly thought of a countermeasure: let them continue to follow!
I directly sent all the plans for the new project, including how to decorate, how to lay out, and how many pieces of equipment to purchase. They were all clearly written down.
And the result is...it was indeed done, but it was really not profitable!
When I first sent it to Tu Le, Tu Le was so grateful that he almost knelt down to kowtow to Li Rushan and call him foster father.
But as time went by, Toule contacted Li Rushan less and less.
Li Rushan just wanted to laugh three times, you guys have this day too!
It can be seen from the flagship store in Jinghai that this new business model cannot be recognized by consumers at all.
The previous parkour climbing gyms and Internet cafes basically had clear target groups. Whether they were parkour climbing enthusiasts or players who liked to play games online, they were all quite satisfied with the traditional business model.
The two do not disturb or affect each other.
But now that Li Rushan has combined the parkour climbing gym and the Internet cafe into one, it is inevitable that there will be some friction between the two groups.
Of course, this kind of friction in itself is not a big problem. At worst, the two groups of people have no contact with each other and have no influence on each other. Although rock climbing, parkour and playing games will make a lot of noise, it doesn't matter if everyone is noisy.
In addition, the game area has special e-sports headphones with noise reduction and sound isolation effects, so although both parties dislike each other, it is not a big problem.
The most critical problem with this business model is that the passenger flow is not that large!
Originally it only accommodated parkour and rock climbing enthusiasts, and the venue was quite sufficient. But now it has added various facilities such as computers, VR game helmets, and rest areas. The place is larger and the cost is higher, so it naturally needs a larger passenger flow. Quantity can support profits.
But obviously, for most players, this novel business model does not have such a strong appeal to them. In comparison, it is more cost-effective to play games in an Internet cafe close to home. There is no reason to do this alone. Stay away and play games with parkour and rock climbing enthusiasts.
So so far, these stores are pretty sluggish.
Tu Le, Yang Changqing and others were naturally among the most deceived people.
This time Li Rushan's plan seemed too unreliable, so after these second-generation investors got the plan, they thought about it and struggled internally. In the end, only about one-third of them made up their minds to do it.
Take Tule for example. His parkour climbing gym in Yangcheng was originally very good. However, after receiving the plan and making radical changes, it not only failed to attract more customers, but also lost money due to the shutdown period for renovation. Many old customers.
Who can withstand this!
Therefore, Tu Le contacted Li Rushan less frequently. I don't know if he is holding a grudge or because he is a little ashamed that he failed to implement the plan well.
In short, this is the effect Li Rushan wants to achieve.
He just wants to take this opportunity to tell Tu Le, Yang Changqing and other second-generation investors that I just want to burn all the money in a down-to-earth manner and then go back to be a carefree rich second-generation. Don't keep coming to me. Add to the chaos!
Therefore, the first reaction of Li Rushan, who was in a bad mood at this time, was to go to Yangcheng, see the deserted venues in Tule, and adjust his mentality.
After his mentality is adjusted and Mr. Lu stops missing, he can settle the score with his Wolong.
Qin Shang was also unambiguous: "Okay, then Mr. Li, shall we set off now?"
Li Rushan nodded: "Let's go!"
Jinghai and Yangcheng are not far apart and can be reached by car directly. So there was no need to buy high-speed rail tickets or airplane tickets. The two of them just left and set off directly in a business car.
…
About two hours later, Li Rushan had arrived at the parkour climbing gym in Tule.
Or to be more precise, this place should be called: Xingfeng Virtual Reality Experience Center.
Li Rushan, who had no idea about the name, thought of many names. This new venue is the result of the two-in-one Xinglu Internet Cafe and Yufeng Parkour Climbing Hall. The first thing he thought of was to choose one word for each, but there were only eight possible combinations of names. Li Rushan was not satisfied.
So he thought of many other names, but they were not enough to be connected with the original names of Xinglu and Yufeng, and it was difficult to describe this relationship of the same origin.
So after thinking about it, Li Rushan said the classic line from Party A: Let’s use the first version...
So the name was decided.
Of course, it is no longer an Internet cafe or parkour rock climbing gym. You can play VR games and parkour rock climbing here, so after thinking about it, it is still called a virtual reality experience hall.
After all, there is both virtuality and reality, and there is virtual reality.
Of course, in order to allow customers to better understand, the words "Original Xinglu Internet Cafe", "Original Yufeng Parkour Climbing Hall", "Newly upgraded Internet cafe model" and other words are also marked.
From the outside, it looks really fancy.
The decoration is very trendy and the various scenery in the venue is well done. It looks like a good place for young people to come and play.
Just when I walked in, I felt a bit cold: the passenger flow in such a large venue was obviously insufficient!
The parkour and rock climbing side seems to be okay because there are old customers from the previous rock climbing gym. However, the situation in the rest area and game area is not optimistic, and the occupancy rate is only 20 to 30%.
Most people are still unwilling to travel such a long distance to play games.
Li Rushan looked around and was quite satisfied.
My grandpa didn’t lie to me. If you want to spend money, physical stores are more reliable!
"Brother Li, why are you here?"
Tu Le seemed to be quite interested in this store. He was frowning and thinking hard in the rest area near the front desk when he saw Li Rushan and hurriedly came over to greet him.
Li Rushan smiled slightly: "Nothing to do, just came here to hang out. You haven't called me much lately."
