Play Game of Life

"Forget it, stop 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 go to relax?"

Li Rushan thought for a while: "Let's go to Yangcheng for a stroll!"

Qin Shang was a little surprised, why did he suddenly think of going to Yangcheng? He originally thought that Li Rushan was just wandering in Jinghai, or at most returned to his hometown of Jingzhou, why would he go to Yangcheng?

Li Rushan looked at him and said, "I'm going to visit my shop to relieve my depression!"

Qin Shang suddenly realized that it was so!

For Li Rushan, the recent period has been quite difficult. First, those second-generation investors gave him the franchise fee one by one, which made him bear a large burden out of thin air, and then the continuous popularity of "Double Martial Arts", the momentum of the game and the movie is quite good, which gave him a headache. Incomparable.

Although there is a cap agreement with Studio 404's investment, it's still a lot of money!

The key is to unconditionally postpone it to the next issue.

The deadliest thing was that the news that Lu Zhixing was Lu Renjia was so explosive that Li Rushan had unprecedented doubts about his favorite Wolong. 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 the environment to be quiet and quiet.

As for why Yangcheng was chosen 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 also industries in Yangcheng that he indirectly invests in.

That's right, it is a chain store of offline physical stores!

Most of these second-generation investors choose to develop in different cities. Especially when they opened Yufeng Parkour and Climbing Gym before, Yang Changqing and Tule had already coordinated to open branches in different cities.

After all, from the perspective of their circle, shopping malls are like battlefields, brothers don't have to fight for food in one place, it's better to disperse to various cities to grab business from outsiders.

The parkour and rock climbing gym opened by Tu Le happened to be in Yangcheng.

After all, Tule's father also held this game design competition in Jinghai with Li Rushan before, and this area belongs to the area they are more familiar with.

Tule and Yang Changqing are the second-generation investors who trust Li Rushan more. They were the most active in opening a chain store in Yufeng Parkour and Rock Climbing Gym.

Especially Tu Le's speech at that dinner was so crucial that it almost made Li Rushan difficult to argue with. Therefore, Li Rushan also held grudges against him the most.

Li Rushan was depressed for a few days when he received the franchise fee for no reason before, but he quickly thought of a countermeasure: let them continue to follow!

Directly sent all the plans of the new project, including how to decorate, how to arrange, and how many pieces of equipment to purchase, all clearly written.

And the result is... It was indeed done, but it really didn't make any money!

When I first sent it to Tule, Tule was so thankful that I almost knelt down to kowtow to Li Rushan, and then called out my adoptive father.

But as time went by, Tule contacted Li Rushan less and less frequently.

Li Rushan almost wanted to laugh three times, you have today too!

From the flagship store in Jinghai, it can be seen that this new business model cannot be recognized by consumers at all.

The previous parkour and rock climbing gyms and Internet cafes basically have a clear target group. Whether it is parkour and rock climbing enthusiasts or players who like to play games online, they are all quite satisfied with the traditional business model.

The two do not disturb each other and do not affect each other.

But now, Li Rushan has combined the Parkour and Rock Climbing Gym and the Internet Cafe into one, and there will inevitably be some friction between the two groups.

Of course, this kind of friction itself is not a big problem. The two groups of people will not communicate with each other and will not affect each other. Although rock climbing, parkour and playing games will make relatively loud noises, it doesn't matter if everyone is noisy.

In addition, there are special e-sports headphones in the game area, which have the effect of noise reduction and sound insulation, so although the two sides have some dislikes for each other, it is not a big problem.

The most critical problem with this business model is that the passenger flow is not that big!

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 bigger and the cost is higher. Naturally, a larger passenger flow is needed. Quantity can support profits.

But obviously, for most players, this novel business model is not so attractive to them. It is more cost-effective to play games in Internet cafes that are closer to home. Far away, huddling together with parkour and rock climbing enthusiasts to play games.

So so far, these stores are quite sluggish.

Tu Le and Yang Changqing were naturally the worst group of people who were cheated.

This time, Li Rushan's plan seemed too unreliable, so after receiving the plan, these second-generation investors thought about it, and kept fighting in their hearts. In the end, only about one-third of them made up their minds to do it.

Take Tule for example, his parkour and rock climbing gym in Yangcheng was originally doing very well, but after getting the plan and making a big change, not only failed to attract more customers, but also lost money due to the closure of the business during the period of renovation. Many old customers.

Who can stand this!

Therefore, Tule contacted Li Rushan less frequently. I don't know if it was because he held grudges, or because he was a little ashamed for not being able to implement the plan well.

In short, this is the effect Li Rushan wants to achieve.

He just wanted to take this opportunity to tell Tule, Yang Changqing and other second-generation investors that he just wanted to burn all the money down-to-earth and then go back to be a carefree rich second-generation. Add 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.

When the mentality is adjusted, Mr. Lu will stop playing and disappear, and then he will settle the account with his Wolong.

Qin Shang was also unambiguous: "Okay, then Mr. Li, let's go now?"

Li Rushan nodded: "Let's go!"

Jinghai and Yangcheng are not far away, and you can go there by car. So there is no need to buy high-speed rail tickets or air tickets, the two of them leave as soon as they say, and set off directly in a commercial vehicle.

...

About two hours later, Li Rushan had arrived at Tule's Parkour and Rock Climbing Gym.

Or more precisely, this place should be called: Xingfeng Virtual Reality Experience Hall.

Li Rushan thought of many names. This new venue is the result of the combination of Xinglu Internet Cafe and Yufeng Parkour Rock Climbing Gym. At first, he thought of taking one word for each, but there are only eight combinations of names. It didn't satisfy Li Rushan.

So he thought of many other names, but none of them were enough to connect with the two original names of Xinglu and Yufeng, and it was difficult to describe the relationship of the same origin.

So after thinking about it, Li Rushan uttered the classic line of Party A: Let's use the first version...

So the name was settled.

Of course, it is no longer an Internet cafe or a parkour and rock climbing gym. You can play VR games as well as parkour and rock climbing here, so after much deliberation, it is still called a virtual reality experience hall.

After all, there is both virtual reality and virtual reality.

Of course, in order to let customers understand better, words such as "Original Xinglu Internet Cafe", "Original Yufeng Parkour and Rock Climbing Gym" and "New Upgrade of Internet Cafe Mode" are also marked.

From the outside, it is indeed bells and whistles.

The decoration is very trendy, and the various settings in the venue are also well done. It seems to be a good place for young people to play.

Just going in and taking a look, it's a bit cold: the huge venue, the passenger flow is obviously insufficient!

For parkour and rock climbing, since there are old customers from the previous rock climbing gym, it seems to be okay, but the situation in the rest area and game area is not optimistic, and the attendance rate is only 20-30%.

Most people are still unwilling to travel so far to play games.

Li Rushan looked around, quite satisfied.

My grandpa didn't lie to me, if you want to spend money, the physical store is still reliable!

"Brother Li, why are you here?"

Tule seems to be quite interested in this store. At this time, he was frowning in the rest area near the front desk and thinking hard about something, when he saw Li Rushan hurried up to meet him.

Li Rushan smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I just came over for a while. You haven't called me much recently."
