Chapter 60 All the Investors Are Here

Pei Qian was speechless and waved directly at Chen Kangtu: "Come and give everyone a brief introduction to the project."

Pei Qian deliberately emphasized the word "brief" slightly.

Chen Kangtu immediately understood.

He had already compiled the information about the Thriller Hostel project and prepared to report it to President Pei, but President Pei didn't listen.

It was the same now that he was bringing it out to report.

However, since President Pei had requested a brief report, it had to be brief enough. After all, "strictly fulfilling any of President Pei's requirements" was one of the well-known Tenda spirits.

Chen Kangtu began to introduce the Thriller Hostel project.

Five minutes later, the introduction was over.

Chen Kangtu compressed the entire introduction process sufficiently, omitting a lot of data and details, and even glossing over some internal details of the three haunted house projects.

He only talked about the general framework.

After finishing the presentation, Chen Kangtu looked at President Pei.

Pei Qian immediately secretly gave him a thumbs up, very satisfied with this.

The investors were all confused.

That was it?

While they were drinking tea and spacing out, it was over?

They hadn't heard anything yet!

Everyone looked at Li Shi again, who was looking at his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and questioning his heart, looking like he was in deep thought.

After a moment, Li Shi nodded thoughtfully: "Well, as expected, it's a reliable and good project!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment before instantly realizing what was going on.

So that was it. President Pei's tests were everywhere!

They almost fell for it again!

Thinking about it carefully, although this Chen Kangtu had said it very briefly before, it still implied a few details.

For example, this location was personally selected by President Pei, President Pei added funds twice, and it had a little bit of connection with the horror game previously developed by Tenda…

A project personally decided by President Pei, this information alone was reliable enough! What more could they ask for?

So everyone immediately reacted and began to praise each other.

"A good project, indeed reliable!"

"To be able to express the core advantages of this project in just a few words, Little Chen is indeed capable! As expected of someone selected by President Pei!"

Pei Qian: "…"

It seemed that he was further trapped in a vicious cycle.

"Alright, the introduction is over, everyone can leave."

Pei Qian prepared to see them off.

The investors instantly panicked. No, they hadn't heard anything yet!

Li Shi quickly stood up: "President Pei! Don't be impatient."

"Well, although we have already understood the situation of the project, we still have to discuss some execution-level details with this Little Chen."

"President Pei, we've already come, it seems a little inappropriate to go back so hastily, right?"

His words were earnest, and Pei Qian thought about it. This humble request didn't seem too excessive.

"Alright, then you guys discuss it."

Pei Qian gave Chen Kangtu a look, and Chen Kangtu immediately understood and nodded slightly.

President Pei had already sent a message saying that he should only introduce the current situation and not say a word more about anything else.

Chen Kangtu decided to strictly follow President Pei's instructions, only saying the facts and not offering any suggestions.

And President Li also winked at everyone and said in a low voice: "No one is allowed to leave until the plan is finalized!"

The investors also nodded, their faces full of determination.

When there were too many people involved in a project, it was easy to have infighting.

In this situation, the most important thing was not to delay. It was hard enough to get everyone together once, so they had to seize the time to finalize the things that needed to be finalized.

If they delayed even a little bit, then nothing could be done.

Therefore, no matter what method they used, they had to get information out of President Pei to determine the plan!

Even if they had to stay up all night, they had to get it done!

They said they didn't care about losing money, but who actually didn't care? Saying they didn't care was all just for President Pei's sake. These investors were all shrewd and would never blindly throw money into a project they didn't understand.

Even if it was President Pei's project, they would only be slightly less concerned about formalities and details, but they still had to seriously investigate it.

Chen Kangtu spread out the project's floor plan on the table.

Everyone was silent for a while, and Li Shi stood up and said: "Alright, let me offer a suggestion first. First of all, I plan to set up a restaurant to solve the tourists' eating problems. As for the location… well… here, Little Chen, do you think it's suitable?"

He pointed to a spot on the map and looked at Chen Kangtu.

Chen Kangtu showed a polite smile: "Of course, that's up to you to decide. I'm sorry, I can't offer you any suggestions."

Pei Qian secretly gave him another thumbs up.

Very good, reliable!

He hadn't spoiled him for nothing!

If he continued to maintain this attitude, he believed that it wouldn't be long before this group of people would collapse without a fight!

The investors were a little confused.

It was okay to refuse to answer so confidently?

Even if he was refusing to offer suggestions, he had to ask President Pei first.

But Chen Kangtu didn't even look at President Pei and refused directly!

Obviously, someone had instructed him behind the scenes! President Pei must have told Chen Kangtu beforehand not to offer any suggestions!

Hmm… was this also part of the test?

It seemed a bit excessive, right?

The clever investors' minds were spinning rapidly, and they logically guessed part of the truth.

The scene fell into a stalemate for a while.

Another investor cleared his throat: "I plan to open a hotel here, how is this location?"

He pointed to a spot on the map and looked at Chen Kangtu, but this time Chen Kangtu simply stopped talking, just smiling and pretending that it had nothing to do with him.

Pei Qian praised him again, good job!

The scene fell into embarrassment again.

Li Shi couldn't stand it anymore and interjected: "That doesn't seem appropriate. This location is a bit too important, there's no need for the hotel to be so far inside."

Another investor said: "The northwest corner, maybe."

"No, no, no, the southeast corner seems better."

These investors began to discuss animatedly.

Pei Qian listened silently, completely relieved.

Obviously, these people all had some small calculations in their hearts. In order to maximize their own interests, they all wanted to occupy the best location, or rather, the best location they could barely find in this desolate place.

If they continued to discuss with their own ulterior motives, and no one finalized the decision, he was afraid that there would be no results even after a week of discussion.

Seeing that everyone couldn't reach a consensus, President Li looked at Pei Qian again: "President Pei, what do you think?"

Pei Qian: "…"

At this time, it seemed inappropriate to say anything.

If he casually said "just choose this location" and ended the argument, and then this location was later proven to be the best location, what should he do?

Judging from past experience, this was not impossible, or even a high probability event.

If he said "don't choose this location," they would definitely ask about another location, wouldn't that be endless?

It didn't seem right not to answer either, they would keep asking, and they would use his expression to imagine some strange things, and maybe come up with some constructive plans.

Pei Qian's own employees were very good at this, which had caused him a lot of hidden losses.

It was not okay to answer, and it was not okay not to answer.

Then why not just slip away!

Leave them here to discuss whatever they wanted, anyway, as long as Chen Kangtu strictly followed his requirements and kept his mouth shut, there would be no problems!

Thinking of this, Pei Qian took out his phone at the speed of light: "Oh dear, I suddenly remembered that I have a meeting, sorry everyone, I'll take my leave first!"

"No need to see me off, you guys continue to be busy!"

"Kangtu, Hao Qiong, you two entertain President Li and the others well, and also, don't forget what I said!"

Pei Qian emphasized to Chen Kangtu one last time and left as quickly as possible.

Li Shi opened his mouth, wanting to keep President Pei, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.

"Whoosh…"

The driver stepped on the gas pedal, and President Pei's car sped away, as if there was really something urgent.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little frustrated.

Crap!

President Pei left directly, without giving any suggestions, what should they do?

Li Shi and the others were very clear that although everyone was a professional investor and had some understanding of many industries, the matter of finalizing the plan still had to be done by professionals!

At least they had to have a full understanding of the Thriller Hostel project to ensure the rationality of the planning and ensure that every penny was spent wisely, right?

If everyone patted their heads and invested money, it would definitely be a mess!

For a time, no one spoke, and everyone was very discouraged.

"Bang!"

Everyone shuddered and found that Li Shi had slapped the table.

"What's going on? Just a little setback, and you're going to give up?"

"President Pei did leave, but didn't he leave us with a professional?"

"Are you talking about Little Chen?"

Everyone looked at Chen Kangtu in unison.

Chen Kangtu could only give them a polite smile.

An investor sighed: "It's useless, President Li. Little Chen is indeed professional, but President Pei obviously told him not to give us any suggestions! What's the use of being professional?"

President Pei had left, so naturally everyone could speak freely.

Li Shi pondered for a moment, thoughtful.

Then, he looked at Chen Kangtu: "Little Chen, to be honest, we are here to help President Pei build."

"All the supporting facilities around the Thriller Hostel are our responsibility."

"So, we are all in the same boat, we rise and fall together!"

"What exactly does President Pei mean, can you just loosen your lips a little and give us some hints?"

Chen Kangtu smiled and remained silent.

In fact, he had already noticed this.

President Pei had previously dumped 40 million directly into the haunted house without hesitation, without allocating a single penny to the surrounding supporting facilities.

Why was that?

Didn't President Pei know the importance of supporting facilities?

Of course he knew!

And after seeing President Li and the others, Chen Kangtu had already determined the deep meaning of President Pei's actions.

Good steel should be used on the cutting edge, putting all the money into the Thriller Hostel project itself to provide tourists with the most perfect and top-notch experience!

As for the surrounding supporting facilities, of course, they should be left to others to do.

Eating alone was a bad habit. Even if the project was successful, it would make a lot of enemies.

Conversely, if he gave these people a little bit of the pie, they would also use their connections and resources to fully support the development of the haunted house. Many hands make light work, and only then could this project be carried out successfully.

Therefore, President Pei must still support them in building supporting facilities around.

But… why not let him offer suggestions?
