At night…
During a cohesion at Swan Lake Restaurant…
For Pei Qian, this had already become a habitual method of spending a huge sum of money. For the employees, it had also become a tradition to gather for a celebratory meal after research and development of a new game.
Now, Boss Pei had almost two hundred employees directly under him. He decided to book the whole Swan Lake Restaurant.
Among these employees were the new employees of the various Fish-Catching Internet Cafes and the employees of Fei Huang Workspace who just returned.
The employees of Shang Yang Games were temporarily not included. From the next settlement cycle, Pei Qian planned to incorporate the employees of Shang Yang Games slowly. That was why he did not invite them for the cohesion this time.
However, he needed to spend what he needed to spend.
Pei Qian allowed Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin to organize a meal for the company on their own, fully paid for by the company. They would have their meal at this restaurant as well—just at a different day and time.
He was beginning to feel like this most expensive buffet restaurant in Jingzhou City was failing to meet his expectations.
If he could fly to Beijing to have better food, Pei Qian would not hold back. However, the System would not allow for it.
"According to the rate at which we are expanding, Swan Lake Restaurant would probably not be able to accommodate all the employees at one shot. I have to think of another way.
"…I have a life full of worries."
As others continued to stuff themselves with food, Pei Qian sat quietly, thinking about how to organize cohesions in the future.
Swan Lake Restaurant could not accommodate many people. After all, this was a high-class restaurant. Its target customer base was the rich and famous in Jingzhou City. The seats were extremely spacious, and the decorations were beautiful. That was why it could not accommodate that many people.
There were only Tengda’s immediate employees here now, and yet Pei Qian had to book the entire venue. If their numbers were to increase the next time they had a cohesion, there would surely not be enough space.
"Alright, we can have separate cohesions in the future. I will bring all the core members of various departments for a meal first, and then the various departments can go out and have meals separately.
"That would allow me to spend more money, too. Perfect!
"Unfortunately, there isn’t a more expensive restaurant in Jingzhou. Wait. I could open a restaurant more high-class than Swan Lake Restaurant, couldn’t I?!"
Pei Qian very naturally thought of another good idea.
He had already taken the first step into the food industry with Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and Fish-Catching Take-Out. One could say he had tested the waters. Up till now, they were performing according to Pei Qian’s expectations.
On one hand, he could provide good meals for his employees. On the other hand, he could continue to incur losses. Both of these businesses made huge contributions to Pei Qian’s loss-making career!
It had been a successful experience so far!
However, the only problem was that Fish-Catching Take-Out was not high-class enough.
The main purpose of Fish-Catching Take-Out was to provide healthy, home-cooked meals for the employees. Although it was slightly more expensive than ordinary restaurants, it was far from the money-spending machine that Pei Qian could imagine it to be.
After all, they were all ordinary dishes. The System had limitations on the pricing of the food. He could not increase it as much as he wanted.
No matter how delicious a serving of scrambled eggs with tomatoes was, it could not be priced that high unless the chef was a cheat.
Pei Qian did not have a chef like that just yet.
He could start up a high-class restaurant; that would solve his problems.
