Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 506: It's almost time to open a branch!

Views:

Saturday, April 30.

Pei Qian ate lunch and walked to the managed gym.

I told Zhang Yuan before that I want to help the club find a coach, but where to find this coach... Pei Qian really has no clue.

Not a professional esports coach.

Because gog is still a new game at present, although Pei Qian heard that some old clubs are also planning gog branches, on the whole, the popularity is not enough, and formality is impossible to talk about.

In other words, in the initial stage, everyone's level is still very low.

Because the club wants to open a branch for a certain game, it must first check whether the game can be popular in China for a long time.

If you have just opened a branch and invested resources to start training, the game will be cold, and the branch can only be disbanded. Isn't that busy work

At present, gog and ioi are fighting hard. The idea of many clubs is to pick the winner of these two games. It is enough to raise one branch of these two emerging moba games.

Therefore, even the team that has formed the gog branch is all rookie chickens pecking at each other.

At this time, a professional coach, even a not-so-excellent professional coach, can bring the improvement to the team reborn.

Although Zhang Yuan doesn't understand e-sports very well, at least he is not stupid, and most of the coaches he has hired are not too bad.

If coupled with the mysterious luck of President Pei, an ssr accidentally pops up among the players or coaches...

The consequences were unimaginable.

Therefore, Pei Qian had to find a way to find a coach who could satisfy him, and at the same time leave Zhang Yuan speechless.

Um…

It's so hard!

Pei Qian thought a little bit of a headache, but fortunately, he told Zhang Yuan before that he would find this candidate within two weeks, so he didn't need to worry too much.

At the door of the managed gym, Pei Qian stepped in.

On the same weekend, the number of people in the gym was significantly less than the last time I came.

Pei Qian was stunned for a moment, then he understood what was going on, and couldn't help but be ecstatic.

Last week's customers, many have been persuaded to leave!

Because of the special charging model of managed gyms, many people do not need to hesitate when they become members, after all, the balance can be refunded.

But these people may not be able to strictly follow the planned training plan and stick to it all the time.

Once these people can't hold out, they will be "refunded" and will not be able to join again in the short term.

As a result, it successfully persuaded a group of customers!

Although the signboard did attract a group of customers, and some people did sign up for membership, what's the use of sticking to it in the face of the rules of hosting gyms

Pei Qian couldn't help but be a little proud of his wiseness.

In addition to this, there are some minor changes to the managed gym compared to last week.

The number of resident service staff in the gym has reached three.

Originally, there was only one front desk who was in charge of handing out bracelets and reception. The coaches would also make a cameo role in reception and guidance when they had nothing to do.

Now, the service personnel have also been expanded, and they also work on shifts, and the gym has three permanent service personnel.

A front desk is mainly responsible for reception work, such as registering customer information, distributing towels, bracelets, water, etc.

An administrator is responsible for the daily company business, such as coach scheduling, docking with Moyu Takeout, etc.

A planner responsible for arranging schedules, developing training plans, analyzing current customer information in the gym, etc.

Of course, the division of labor among these three positions is not so clear, and sometimes they help each other.

"President Pei." The front desk was the first to see Pei Qian.

"Hello, Mr. Pei." By noon, the administrator was arranging today's fitness meal with the two coaches.

"Mr. Pei." The planner typed the keyboard earnestly on the notebook in the rest area. After seeing Pei Qian, he stood up and nodded.

Pei Qian showed a smile on the corner of his mouth and nodded.

The reason why I have more expressions on this planner is because... The real identity of this planner is the undercover who was placed in, and one of the 18 managers who lost their lives!

In private, Guan Sui called Pei Qian "senior".

In public, you still have to be called "President Pei".

Otherwise, wouldn't it be revealed, implying that everyone has such a mysterious department...

The positions in the gym are all on rotation. Although this student is a student, he does not have many courses, and Handong University can walk to the managed gym in two steps, so he is still competent for this part of his job.

The position of a managed fitness planner is not available in other gyms, because the mechanism of managed gyms is different from other gyms.

In order to reduce the passenger flow during the peak period, Guo Licheng suggested to Pei Qian that we should make an appointment for customers to make their own appointments, control the number of people in the gym at the same time, and make preliminary arrangements for each customer's time at the very beginning, such as It is found that there are a lot of customers on Thursday, so if there are more customers who want to come on Thursday, we will not be able to receive them unless we change the time.

At present, there is still a period of time before research and development, and these times can only be completed manually by planners.

However, since the number of people in the gym is relatively small, it is far from the limit that the gym can carry, so it will not delay anything.

At present, the position of planner is at most a preliminary arrangement, and it does not need to be specific to a certain time period on a certain day.

Pei Qian arranged for this management compensation student to be a planner, mainly to let him master the most accurate information about the gym, and always know how far the current number of people in the gym is from being profitable.

The first regular meeting on compensation management will be held next Saturday, but Pei Qian can't wait.

He pretended to say hello to everyone casually, and came to sit down beside the supervisor.

There are too many people who have lost money, and Pei Qian has forgotten his name, but it doesn't matter, just remember which department he is undercover.

"How far is the gym from being profitable now?" Pei Qian asked casually in a chatty tone.

The supervisor replied earnestly: "Mr. Pei, in terms of the current daily expenses of the gym, regardless of the profit of Moyu takeout, it takes an average of about 200 people a day to recover the cost."

"If you take into account the depreciation of equipment, daily maintenance, and a certain profit, and recover early investment such as fitness equipment as soon as possible, then 300 people per day is a good number."

"Our current number is in the...twenties."

"Even at peak times, the entire gym was less than a quarter utilised."

Pei Qian was very satisfied with this answer.

Take a look, it is indeed the supervisor who was trained by me, and the reporting work is clean and neat, without any superfluous information.

Pei Qian nodded approvingly: "Yes, keep going."

The current situation is still far from being profitable. This is good news. Pei Qian pondered that it was almost time to consider opening a branch.

He continued to stroll inside, and in the strength training area, he saw Guo Licheng who was madly lifting iron.

I don't know if it's my own delusion, but compared to when I came last week, Guo Licheng seems to be bigger.

Pei Qian was very satisfied with this.

This Guo Licheng is very obedient!

Before, I had him practice hard and try to be bigger than all the coaches, so that he would not have the energy to engage in fancy marketing activities, and the gym would not make any money.

Guo Licheng is really training hard, muscles don't lie.

Seeing President Pei coming, Guo Licheng hurriedly put the barbell in place and stood up.

"President Pei! I'm... "

Just as Guo Licheng was about to explain, Pei Qian raised his hand to stop him.

"You are doing very well. As the manager and signboard of the entire gym, your figure must be the best in order to attract customers! Therefore, you must not relax, and continue to persevere!"

"I came here today to ask, you know, is there a gym with better decoration and a larger space like this? Especially in Moyu Internet Cafe or near the offices of various departments of Tenda."

"Oh yes, there is also near Mingyun Villa."

Guo Licheng was stunned for a moment: "President Pei, do you want to study and study, or..."

Pei Qian smiled slightly: "Of course we want to open a branch!"

Guo Li was really at a loss.

ha

Now, there are not many students in this gym, and the money earned is not even a fraction of the loss, so how about opening a branch

And looking at what President Pei means, isn't there just one family

Guo Licheng hurriedly said, "President Pei, think twice!"

Pei Qian raised his hand and signaled him to stop: "I've thought about it, you can just hand me the list of suitable gyms. I'll arrange for someone to talk to see how many are willing to transfer."

"Then I will trouble you to continue preparing fitness equipment for the branch, recruiting people, etc."

Guo Licheng opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him again, but seeing that Mr. Pei's attitude was so firm, he had no choice but to nod: "Okay Mr. Pei, I understand."

"Uh... President Pei, what are the rules for location selection you just said?"

Pei Qian repeated: "This batch will open three to five branches, and some gyms will definitely not be willing to sell them, so please try to give me ten addresses. One of them must be near Mingyun Villa, and the others must also be there. Moyu Internet Cafe or Tenda's other business department offices nearby."

The reason for this location is on the one hand to better ensure the supply of fitness meals, and on the other hand to provide benefits to employees.

Pei Qian has never forgotten that the two projects of hosting the gym and the sloth apartment are on the one hand to lose money and on the other hand to provide more benefits to employees.

If you don't make money in the first place, and then use employee benefits to smash your own wool, it's just double the happiness.

The observation period of this flagship store has come to an end. At present, the situation is relatively optimistic. Although there are some customers, it is too far from being profitable.

In this case, you can almost put your own employees in one after another.

As for why it should be done one after another, in stages and in batches

Because the system has limitations in this regard, whether it is a sloth apartment or a shared gym, the benefits provided to employees must be controlled within a certain range.

For example, the sloth apartment, if there are 100 rooms, can only use 30 of them as staff dormitories.

The same is true for restaurants and gyms, which can be used as employee benefits, but there is a premise that other consumers must also be able to use them, and they cannot be completely monopolized by employee benefits, and the proportion is strictly limited.

Therefore, if he wants to develop a fitness plan for all employees, Pei Qian has to open a lot of gyms.

Fortunately, as long as this thing can lose money, President Pei has enough motivation!
