Volume 5 The Sea and the Sky Chapter 39 The Sky Will Rain (II)
Outside the Pinglu City Gate, a group of bewitching women dressed in fancy clothes were handing out jade cards to the scattered customers. It's just that the clothes worn by these people are definitely not from Pinglu City. The eye-catching red suit is on it, because of these two big characters: Wangjiang.
Luo Qian commanded, and a guy went over and came back with a jade card. The jade card is beautifully made, with the words "Wangjiang City Entertainment Xintiandi" engraved on the front and a map on the back. Luo Qiandeng was furious and grabbed the guests to the door of someone else's house. He snorted, and his reports drove the women away.
The carriage entered Pinglu City, which was originally prosperous and now looks a little depressed. Because no one controls it, most of the huge neon lights, fountains, waterfalls and other landscapes have stopped functioning, and some debris is scattered on the street, and when the cold wind blows, some rags are rolled up and fluttering like butterflies, and there is a desolation of its own.
Most of the room doors in major hotels are open, and there is a mess inside, and no one plans to clean up. Some of the employees who were nervous got together and didn't know what to do. Only a very small number of people in Pinglu City were still working, and when they heard the news of Luo Qian's arrival, they all hurriedly gathered over.
Looking at the more than thirty people with haggard faces and hesitant expressions in front of him, Luo Qian stood on a high place and bowed deeply to everyone: "Luo Qian has thanked you!" Everyone was stunned at first, and then their hesitant expressions gradually receded. Someone couldn't help but ask, "Dongjia, what should we do next?" I heard that Dongfang ...... They have already secretly built a new casino, which is probably our biggest competitor. ”
The people of Wangjiang City were already standing at the door and handing out membership cards, but these people were not even busy with the things in the city. How can they have the energy to take care of the outside of the city? They don't even know it.
Luo Qian smiled calmly, at this time. And only this smile. in order to make everyone feel at ease. He raised the jade card in his hand and said loudly: "I used to admire Dongfang Chendi very much. I think he is talented and courageous. But now it seems that it is nothing more than that. Pinglu City is my idea, I thought that Dongfang Chen betrayed Luo, there would be some good projects. As a result, just like us, another entertainment city was built. It seems that I really think highly of him, and it turns out that he is only staying at the stage of imitation. He's nothing more than a pirate. We're the original, so why be afraid of him? Treat him as a competitor, he's not worthy of it!"
Luo Qian's confident speech made the eyes of the people below light up, yes, he is imitating, we are the original, what is there to be afraid of.
Luo Qian continued: "Thank you all for everything you have done to encircle Lu City. Everything Roche does. Right now. I need you guys to organize, the rest of the staff. I announced several appointments on an ad hoc basis...... "He promoted a number of people on an ad hoc basis. Let them act in the right way. After a simple appointment ceremony, Luo Qian promised a huge bonus. Everyone present will receive a handsome reward. So everyone happily threw themselves into the new job, and many people who were promoted even thought in their hearts that this incident was a disaster for the entire Pinglu City, but in fact, for themselves. It's an opportunity.
In the suite specially reserved for Luo Qian in Pinglu City, Luo Qian breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the comfortable sofa softly. Xiao Xiangzi sat aside, but he was not as relaxed as him. Xiao Xiangzi knew that Luo Qian must have other arrangements. Sure enough, Luo Qian closed his eyes for a moment, and suddenly opened his eyes with a shiny light: "Send someone to find out immediately who is behind Dongfang Chen." ”
Xiao Xiangzi nodded: "I understand." "How much money can Dongfang Chen have? How can he build an entertainment city quietly! Behind him, there must be a force. This force is rushing to oppose us, and there is no way to stop it!" Dongfang Chen knew Luo Qian's background very well, and he dared to betray him like this. Obviously, it shows that he has the supporters behind him, and shows him that he can fight against Luo Qiandi. For the first time, Luo Qian felt threatened. Perhaps this crisis is just the beginning, the Roche Building is stormy, and if it is not handled carefully, it may lead to the sinking of the entire fleet!
The prosperity must decline, and the extremes of things must be reversed. Roche's business giant has also reached a state of "extreme prosperity", which seems to be prosperous, but in fact it hides murderous opportunities.
The situation in Pinglu City has been temporarily stabilized, although a large number of backbones have been taken away by Dongfang Chen, but among the people left, there are still many talented people, although some businesses cannot be so proficient, but after a few explorations, they can also deal with it. At nightfall, the neon lights in Pinglu City flickered a few times and finally lit up. The sound of silk embroidery music re-floated over Pinglu City, and the entire Pinglu City recovered from its lifelessness.
After receiving the cleaning, the rooms are tidy and tidy, and the casino and playground are also ready to go, waiting for the arrival of guests. However, the courtyard was cold, and there was not a single guest on the street in the originally bustling Pinglu City. Luo Qian stood behind the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the deserted Pinglu City below, and had a headache
。
The next day, a group of people from various shops arrived to support Pinglu City, and with the support of these people, Pinglu City was finally basically operating normally.
At the same time, on the billboards of all the Luo clans in the fairy world, an advertisement was uniformly displayed: Pinglu City consumption, 6% discount.
This trick really worked, and some carriages appeared outside the city, and after watching for a while, they drove in. On the first day after the advertisement, only a dozen people entered Pinglu City. On the second day, the number reached more than 70, and after the third day, the number increased dramatically. It's just that no matter what, it can't reach the grandeur of Pinglu City's heyday.
Luo Qian secretly said in his heart, he returned Dongfang Chen, it seems that this Wangjiang City is really a strong rival of his own. At this moment, Xiao Xiangzi walked in with the jade card: "Lao Luo, look. A halo appeared on the jade card, the halo was like a screen, and a line of words flashed behind it: Wangjiang City is auspicious for opening, and the reward is six-fold!
Luo Qian said unexpectedly: "There is still this trick here!" Dongfang Chen knew that he could not keep up with Luo Qiandi's footsteps in publicity, so he could only find another way. He distributed membership cards in the fairy world, and membership cards were the link between Wangjiang City and consumers. I don't know what means this jade card is used to make it, but it can display some simple information. It's like a bulk SMS transmitter in the Nether, as long as an operation is performed, all jade cards will receive this message.
Luo Qian couldn't help but smile and put away the jade card: "Come with me to Wangjiang City." ”
The cornices are connected with the watchtower, the turquoise city wall, the colored glazed tiles, the pavilions and water pavilions in the city, the high-rise cloud tower, and the typical classical architectural garden. Compared with the atmosphere of the times in Pinglu City, this place is much more classical, which has long been expected by Luo Qian, except for himself, who else can find a designer in the Nether? This Wangjiang City is indeed surrounded by mountains and rivers, facing the "Guang Mo River", the Guang Mo River is not famous in the fairy world, this huge piece of land, the price may be about the same as that of Ping Lu Yuan.
Thinking about such a large-scale construction, I didn't alarm myself, and there are also several credits of Dongfang Cheng. Luo Qian and Xiao Xiangzi walked on the street, with the shouts of gambling houses and brothels on both sides, and walked roughly, the business model here is exactly the same as that of Pinglu City, it seems that Dongfang Chen has moved his own set.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to win a hundred battles, since Wangjiang City has no new tricks, Luo Qian is also relieved. Although there are many guests here, it has not reached the scene of the heyday of Pinglu City, which is obviously caused by the diversion of guests under the competition between the two sides.
Luo Qian said to Xiao Xiangzi: "Send someone to keep an eye on here, if there is any situation, report it immediately." ”
Back in Pinglu City, Luo Qian immediately put out a second advertisement: Pinglu City Consumption 50% Discount! Xiao Xiangzi was taken aback by this decision, and he saw some clues: "Old Luo, do you want to kill them with the price?" Luo Qian raised his eyebrows: "This is our advantage, why not take advantage of it." ”
The comprehensive cost of Pinglu City is 30%, which means that as long as it is not as low as 3% off, Pinglu City is still profitable. But if you continue to find such a momentum, sooner or later it will drop below three folds. Xiao Xiangzi hurriedly said: "Lao Luo, it is really not a wise move for you to kill 10,000 enemies like this and lose 8,000 yourself. Luo Qian shook his head: "A temporary loss must be beared." This is just the first step in our strategy, you go first. What to do next, let me think again. ”
Roche has the immortal jade mine as a backing, there is not much problem in terms of funds, and now the funds that Roche can mobilize in the short term are around three billion high-grade immortal jade. In just ten to fifteen days, this number will multiply several times. Fighting hard with Wangjiang City, although he can win in the end, his losses must be heavy, and Luo Qian does not intend to crush Wangjiang City to death with this trick. It's like a battle, leading the formulation of strategy, and then there are many means to lure the enemy into being fooled, as the so-called lord and minister complement each other, what Luo Qian needs is a complete set of plans, a set of combination punches, to knock the opponent down.
The reputation of Pinglu City is far above that of Wangjiang City, but Zhongdu has experienced that change, which has affected the prestige of Pinglu City. The two sides are considered to be superior and inferior, and in terms of reputation, the two sides are equal. Now the price is similar, and some people are willing to go to Wangjiang City, which means that not all people like the Pinglu City style buildings, and some people still favor classical buildings.
A complete plan slowly formed in Luo Qian's heart. He pulled out a calculator and tapped on it for a while to figure out the results. The total cost was more expensive than building a Pinglu City, which couldn't help but make Luo Qian frown.
