Chen Kangtuo thought about it. This must be because President Pei didn't want his own ideas to influence others.

Each investor has their own trump card. If Chen Kangtuo took on everything, handling the site selection and plans for them, then everyone would just lie down and do nothing. Who would use their brains? Who would pull out their hidden skills?

President Pei's move must be to fully mobilize the subjective initiative of these investors, so that everyone can contribute the most!

These were all interpreted according to the Tengda spirit.

Chen Kangtuo felt that the truth of the matter should be close to his speculation.

But... these words couldn't be said, because President Pei had asked him not to.

Chen Kangtuo couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.

Seeing Chen Kangtuo's changing expression, yet still not saying a word, Li Shi also felt a little discouraged.

It seemed that reasoning with him and appealing to his emotions wasn't working either.

He didn't know how President Pei managed his subordinates. Each one was extremely loyal, never deviating from orders, strictly abiding by commands as if they were golden rules.

He was truly skilled in managing his people.

The situation seemed to be at a standstill, but should they just call it a day and go home, to be discussed another time?

That definitely wouldn't work!

Li Shi had no choice but to clap his hands. "Alright, everyone be quiet!"

"Things have come to this point. We're all in the same boat, relying on ourselves. No one is allowed to hold back! Anyone who dares to slack off and cause everyone to lose all their money, don't even think about continuing in the Jingzhou investment circle!"

"Everyone, think!"

Seeing Li Shi getting anxious, the investors finally accepted reality.

In the beginning, many people came with the mentality of effortlessly winning and getting a share of the profits. During the discussion, many were cautious, single-mindedly wanting to push all the worrying matters to President Pei, while also trying to secure the greatest benefits for themselves.

But now, President Pei had left, and Chen Kangtuo wasn't saying anything. No one was taking on this heavy burden.

Li Shi's outburst made everyone realize their situation.

If they didn't contribute, this money would really go down the drain!

Li Shi spoke first, "I'll go first. I want to open a horror-themed restaurant, planning to make it look like a prison. Each private room will be a cell, and the people delivering the food will be pretty girls dressed as prison guards."

"Upon entering the restaurant, guests will be handcuffed with fake handcuffs and led into the cell. There's no ordering process. Once inside, food will be served based on the number of people and dietary restrictions. The food will be some slightly terrifying dark cuisine, and the drinks can be packaged as blood bags filled with blood plasma."

"In addition, we'll regularly show escape performances as entertainment during meals."

"As for the location... it's here."

Li Shi pointed to a location on the map.

The expressions on everyone's faces varied. Some nodded, some frowned, but no one spoke.

Clearly, some people had doubts about this location, but they weren't sure if their thoughts were correct and were embarrassed to speak up.

Li Shi looked around at everyone. "If everyone has no objections, this project will be finalized."

Still, no one spoke.

Li Shi was helpless. It seemed he really couldn't rely on these people.

However, just as he was about to continue discussing the next project, he suddenly heard a cough from the side.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Everyone turned their heads and saw Chen Kangtuo covering his mouth, his face looking like he was constipated.

This was clearly not a real cough, and he seemed to have something to say.

Everyone waited for him to continue, but after several pairs of eyes blinked for a long time, Chen Kangtuo still didn't open his mouth.

Li Shi was also a little puzzled, but after a moment he suddenly realized. "Oh! Are you saying that this location isn't good?"

Chen Kangtuo revealed a smile.

An investor immediately said, "I think so too! Although this place has a lot of foot traffic, it's too close to the entrance. Which tourist is going to start eating as soon as they come in? It should be moved further in, so tourists can eat after they're tired of playing!"

Li Shi nodded and changed the location. "How about here?"

Chen Kangtuo once again showed a constipated expression.

Another investor said, "I think this place is too far in and not conducive to the future expansion of the haunted house."

Li Shi changed the location again. "Then opening it here should be fine."

This time, Chen Kangtuo's face showed a smile.

"Okay, then the location of the restaurant is finalized!" Li Shi's voice was much louder this time, full of confidence.

With a successful example, everyone's enthusiasm was also mobilized, and they all put forward their own projects.

In the beginning, most people thought of ghost themes, such as ghost hotels, ghost clothing stores, ghost magic toy stores, ghost souvenir shops, ghost desserts and snacks, ghost buses, and so on.

But as the brainstorming deepened, people got tired of discussing ghost themes, and some began to propose solutions that went against the grain.

For example, opening a particularly warm maid cafe to comfort the injured hearts of tourists. With a haunted house experience ticket, they could receive encouragement from the maids and a healing drink with a heart on it.

Creating a healing spring in the square, in the shape of an ordinary fountain, but the water is warm water. Tell the tourists to wash their hands with the healing spring water to remove ghosts and heal their spiritual wounds, etc.

Soon, one plan after another was put forward and finalized after thorough discussion.

Chen Kangtuo stood aside, constantly expressing his opinions with his expressions.

He had been studying the Spooky Manor project for several months and had his own thoughts on the project's location, site selection, supporting facilities, and so on.

For many projects that had obvious problems, he would immediately hint with his expression.

After these investors thought about it carefully, someone would definitely guess the problem and decisively bring it up.

After several such guesses, the plan was completely perfected.

And in this process, the investors were not affected by Chen Kangtuo's mindset, and after a full brainstorming session, they came up with what they thought was the best plan.

The whole discussion process was much faster than expected.

In just over three hours, the floor plan was already filled with words. Li Shi and the others had divided up the area around the Spooky Manor and arranged various supporting facilities according to the optimal location, including restaurants, hotels, snack shops, toy stores, and so on, everything was available!

Of course, this was only a small part of the old industrial area.

All the plans were roughly finalized.

An investor looked at the clearly planned and detailed scheme and couldn't help but sigh, "It's hard to imagine that we came up with this scheme in just over three hours!"

Li Shi smiled speechlessly. "Hmph, if President Pei hadn't used this clever way to force you, could you have come up with these plans?"

"Weren't you just thinking about casually setting up a shop and fooling around?"

Everyone was a little ashamed.

It seemed that was really the case!

If President Pei had taken on everything from the beginning, everyone would definitely not have used their brains.

Of course, it's not to say that President Pei taking on everything is bad, but one person's ideas are always limited. President Pei is busy and can't put all his energy into making these plans, and he can't accurately grasp what resources each investor has.

By using the current method, all investors take out their resources, rack their brains to think of ideas, and then let Chen Kangtuo check them. This can maximize the use of resources!

All the investors couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The plan looked more and more reliable.

Fortunately, they had passed President Pei's test!

If they had slipped away halfway and missed such a good project, they would really have regretted it!

Chen Kangtuo, who was standing aside, couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.

He had lived up to his mission!

While strictly following President Pei's requirements and not interfering with these investors' ideas, he helped them finalize a reliable plan.

In this way, the quality of the supporting facilities could also be guaranteed!

Chen Kangtuo's previous thought was that President Pei should invest 40 million in supporting facilities to improve the shortcomings.

And President Pei's approach was to continue investing 40 million in the Spooky Manor itself, to ensure that every tourist had the best experience; at the same time, let Li Shi and these investors be responsible for the surrounding supporting facilities, give them a share of the pie, and fully mobilize their enthusiasm.

In this way, both the Spooky Manor project itself and the surrounding supporting facilities were several grades higher than the previous method!

Chen Kangtuo couldn't help but have a heartfelt emotion.

He had already found the perfect solution, as expected of President Pei!

Of course, I'm not bad either.

If I hadn't worked at Tengda Games for so long and had a deep understanding of President Pei's unconstrained thinking, I would never have thought of this level, and naturally I wouldn't have been able to complete President Pei's implied task.

Today, I successfully solved President Pei's new puzzle, which means that I am one step closer to President Pei's way of thinking.

It's really gratifying!
