Vol 5 Chapter 39: It's going to rain (down)

Outside the city gate of Pinglu, a group of seductive women dressed up with jade cards are handing out jade cards to the customers who have dispersed. It's just that the clothes these people wear are definitely not Pinglucheng. The eye-catching red suit is because of these two characters: Wangjiang.
Luo Qian gave an order, and a buddy came back and took a jade card. The jade card is beautifully made, with "Wangjiang City Entertainment Xintiandi" engraved on the front and a map on the back. Luo Qian was immediately furious and robbed the guests to the door of someone else's house. He snorted, and his reports were like wolves and drove the women away.
The carriage entered Pinglu City, and the prosperous Pinglu City now looks a bit depressed. Because there is no one to control, most of the huge neon lights, fountains, waterfalls and other landscapes have ceased operation. There are some debris scattered on the street. When the cold wind blows, some rags are rolled up and fluttered like butterflies, which is desolate.
The doors of the rooms in the major hotels are mostly open, and there is a mess, and no one plans to clean up. Some uneasy employees gathered together, not knowing what to do. Only a handful of people in Pinglu City were still working. Hearing the news of Luo Qian's arrival, they quickly gathered.
Looking at the haggard and hesitant 30-odd people in front of them, Luo Qian stood on a high place and bowed deeply to everyone: "Luo Qian thanked you all!" Everyone was startled at first, and the hesitant expression gradually faded. Someone couldn't help but ask: "Owner, what shall we do next? I heard that Dongfang... they have already secretly built a new entertainment city, I am afraid it is our biggest competitor."
The local people in Wangjiang City had already stood at the door and issued membership cards, but these people hadn't even finished the things in the city. How can I take care of the outside of the city? They didn't even know.
Luo Qian smiled calmly, this time. Only this smile. In order to make everyone feel at ease. He raised the jade card in his hand and said loudly, "I still admired Dongfang Chendi before. I think he has talent and courage. But now it seems that it is nothing more than that. Pinglu City is my creativity, I think Dongfang Chendi Chen betrayed Roche, what good projects will there be. The result is still the same as us, and another entertainment city has been built. It seems that I really looked at him highly. It turns out that he is only at the stage of imitation. He is just a pirate. We are the original, why should we be afraid of him? Treating him as a competitor, he is not worthy!"
Luo Qian's confident speech made the eyes of the people below immediately shine. Yes, he is imitating, but we are the original version. What is there to be afraid of.
Luo Qian continued: "Thank you for everything you have done to surround Lucheng. Everything you have done for Roche. Now. I need you to organize the remaining employees. I will announce a few appointments temporarily..." He temporarily promoted some people. Let them behave justly. After a simple appointment ceremony, Luo Qian promised a huge bonus. Everyone present will get a huge reward. As a result, everyone happily devoted themselves to the new work. Many of those who were promoted even thought in their hearts that this incident was a disaster for the entire city of Pinglu, but in fact it was personally speaking. On the contrary, it is an opportunity.
In the suite reserved for Luo Qian in Pinglu City, Luo Qian breathed a sigh of relief and lay softly on the comfortable sofa. Xiao Xiangzi sat aside, but did not relax like him. Xiao Xiangzi knew that Luo Qian must have another arrangement. Sure enough, Luo Qian closed his eyes for a moment, then opened his eyes sharply: "I will send someone to find out who is behind Dongfang Chen."
Xiao Xiangzi nodded: "I understand." "How much money can Dongfang Chen have? How could it be possible to build an entertainment city silently! Behind him, there must be a force. This force rushes to oppose us, and it has nowhere to come. !" Dongfang Chen is very clear about Luo Qian's background, he dared to betray like this. Obviously, it shows that the supporters behind him show him the ability to fight against Luo Qiandi. Luo Qian felt threatened for the first time. Perhaps the crisis this time is just the beginning. The Roche Building is precarious, and one careless handling may cause the sinking of the entire fleet!
Prosperity must decline, and material extremes must be reversed. Roche's business giant has also reached a state of "extreme prosperity." Such a situation seems to be prosperous, but in reality there are hidden opportunities.
The situation in Pinglu City has temporarily stabilized. Although Dongfang Chen has taken away a large number of backbones, there are still many talented people among those who remain. Although some businesses may not be so proficient, but after several explorations , Also able to cope. At the moment when night fell, the neon lights in Pinglu City flickered a few times and finally lit up. The sound of silk embroidery music floated over Pinglu City again, and the entire Pinglu City recovered from its lifelessness.
After receiving the cleaning, the room is tidy and tidy, the casino and playground are also ready to go, waiting for the arrival of guests. But the door was left in the cold, and there was no guest on the street in the bustling city of Pinglu. Luo Qian stood behind the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the deserted city of Pinglu below, how to deal with some headaches.
The next day, a group of people from various shops arrived to support Pinglu City. With the support of these people, Pinglu City was finally basically functioning normally.
At the same time, on the billboards of Roche in all places in the fairy world, a unified advertisement: Pinglu City consumption, a 40% discount.
This trick really worked. Some carriages appeared outside the city in twos and threes. After watching for a while, they drove in. On the first day after the advertisement, only a dozen people entered Pinglu City. The number reached more than seventy people on the second day, and after the third day the number rose sharply. But in any case, it can't reach the heyday of Pinglu City.
Luo Qian secretly said in his heart that he still underestimated Dongfang Chen, and it seemed that Wangjiang City was really his own rival. 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 with a line flashing behind it. : Wangjiang City opened successfully, 40% off bargain!
Luo Qian unexpectedly said: "This kid still has this trick!" Dongfang Chen knew that he couldn't keep up with Luo Qian's footsteps in propaganda, so he could only find another way. He is distributing membership cards in Xianjie, and membership cards are the link between Wangjiang City and consumers. I don't know what method was used to make this jade card, but it can display some simple information. It's like a short message group sender in the lower realm, as long as one operation is performed, all jade cards will receive this message.
Luo Qian couldn't help smiling, and put the Yuka away: "Come with me to Wangjiang City."
The flying eaves connect the watchtower, the green city wall, the colorful glazed tiles, the pavilions and pavilions in the city, the high-rise cloud towers, and the typical classical architecture gardens. Compared with the atmosphere of Pinglu City, this place is much more classical. This has long been expected by Luo Qian. Besides himself, who else can find a designer from the lower realm? This Wangjiang City is indeed surrounded by mountains and rivers, facing the "Guangmo River". Guangmo River is not well-known in the fairy world. The price of this huge piece of land may be about the same as that of Luyuan.
If I wanted to build on such a large scale, I didn't alarm myself, and Dongfang Cheng also had several credits. Luo Qian and Xiao Xiangzi walked on the street, with the shouts of the gambling shop brothel on both sides. They walked roughly. The business model here is exactly the same as that of Lucheng. It seems that Dongfang Chen has moved his own set. .
Knowing yourself and the enemy can win every battle. Since Wangjiang City has no new tricks, Luo Qian is relieved. Although there are a lot of guests here, it has not reached the scene of Pinglu City's heyday. It is obviously caused by the diversion of guests under the competition between the two sides.
Luo Qian said to Xiao Xiangzi: "Send someone to stare here. If you have anything, report it immediately."
Back in Pinglu City, Luo Qian immediately ran a second advertisement: 50% discount on consumption in Pinglu City! Xiao Xiangzi was taken aback by this decision. He saw some clues: "Lao Luo, do you want to kill them with the price?" Luo Qian raised his eyebrows: "This is our advantage, why not use it."
The comprehensive cost of Pinglu City is 30%~EbookFREE.me~ That is to say, as long as it is not as low as 30%, Pinglu City can still make money. But looking for this momentum to go on, one day it will drop below 30%. Xiao Xiangzi said hurriedly: "Lao Luo, it is really not a wise move for you to kill 10,000 and lose 8,000 by yourself." Luo Qian shook his head: "A temporary loss must be endured. This is just the first step of our strategy. You Do it first. Let me think about what to do next."
Roche has a fairy jade mine as a backing, and there is no major financial problem. Now Roche can mobilize funds in the short term of about 3 billion top-grade fairy jade. As long as there are ten to fifteen days, this number will double. Fighting against Wangjiang City, although he was able to win in the end, his losses must be heavy. Luo Qian did not intend to use this trick to crush Wangjiang City to death. It is like fighting, leading strategy formulation, and then there will be many small means to lure the enemy into deceive. As the so-called ministers and ministers complement each other, what Luo Qian needs is a whole set of plans, a set of combined punches, to defeat the opponent.
The reputation of Pinglu City is far above that of Wangjiang City, but Zhong actually experienced that change, which affected the reputation of Pinglu City. The two sides can be regarded as mutually offsetting their advantages and disadvantages. In terms of reputation, the two sides are equal. Now that the prices are similar, and some people are willing to go to Wangjiang City, it shows that not all people like the Pinglu City-style buildings, and some people still prefer classical buildings.
A complete plan slowly formed in Luo Qian's heart. He took out a calculator, tapped it for a while, and calculated the result. The total cost is more expensive than building a Pinglu City, which can not help but make Luo Qian frowned.
