Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

ping his wine and in deep thought.
It was almost as if he was devising a plan that was way better than theirs.

At once, they sat up even straighter.

Yet, Pei Qian was busy thinking about something else.

When he had heard that the foundation on which the group of companies had been built could be shaken, he became slightly excited.

It sounded like such an easy way to incur losses!

Restricted by the System’s regulations, Pei Qian could not resort to lying and cheating to take advantage of his own customers.
However, if Tengda’s partner companies did those things behind Pei Qian’s back, the System would probably not be able to do anything.

In other words, there was a loophole…

Still, that thought only flashed past Pei Qian’s mind before he quashed it completely.

I am only interested in incurring losses and not going against my own conscience.

How can I allow shoddy companies that produce rubbish to lie to and cheat others using my name? Of course not!

Get them as far away from me as possible!

Still after hearing Lu Mingliang’s words, Pei Qian thought of a new idea.

Since Liang Qingfan and Song Kai wanted to increase the scope of the Sloth Apartments’s business, Pei Qian had to get back at them!

It was just like what had happened with ROF back then.
Zhang Yuan had intended to make use of the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe’s brand name back then to profit from assembling computers.
However, Pei Qian made use of the business to establish 1024 Digital Day and spend as much money as possible.

Of course, what happened next went without saying.

At least, the strategy had worked back then!

Pei Qian could apply his creativity to the problem that Lu Mingliang had just raised.

According to the System’s regulations, once a certain business arm had established a good reputation, the System would greatly expand its profit-generating requirements.
That was what happened with Upwind Logistics.

At that thought, Pei Qian said, “We can consider partnering Sloth Apartments with other furniture brands or property developers, but there must be very strict regulations.

“Hire someone to conduct frequent inspections.
Before working together, send someone to conduct deep research into the current state of those other companies.
Get a good understanding of their financial positions and management situation.

“The inspecting teams should be put in charge of a different region at regular intervals to prevent corruption and cheating.

“We will cover all expenses incurred by inspecting teams when they conduct inspections, including clothes, food, lodging, and travel.
On top of that, we must not reveal our identities.

“Even after the partnerships are established, the inspecting teams should conduct spot checks at regular intervals.
Customer reports and feedback should also be encouraged.
Once we find that the other companies are falling short, we should immediately terminate the contract and compensate our customers for all losses suffered.

“All of these conditions must be clearly and neatly written in our partnership contracts with the other companies.
Companies that refuse to accept these conditions would not be allowed to work with Tengda.

“If any problems arise in the course of these partnerships, I will hold both of you responsible.”

Liang Qingfan and Song Kai immediately looked somber.
“Yes, Boss Pei!”

Obviously, with these conditions in place, few furniture brands and property developers would be willing to work with Tengda Corporation.
In fact, less than ten percent of companies would likely be willing to.

Who would sign a contract with that many terms and conditions?

Those furniture brands and property developers were loaded to begin with.
Of course, it would benefit them to have Sloth Apartments’s brand on their side.
However, they would not collapse without it either.

Now, Sloth Apartments was demanding regular inspections and compensation if any problems were detected, in exchange for allowing the companies to use its brand name.
How could they?

Still, Liang Qingfan and Song Kai found Boss Pei’s requests reasonable.
If the other companies were not made to sign a contract with all terms and conditions clearly stipulated, how could Tengda guarantee that those companies would keep their words?

Companies like Tengda, which could ignore short-term gain for the sake of long-term profit, were few and far between in this world.

At the same time, it was what people found most respectable about the group of companies.

Lu Mingliang could not help but nod subtly.
It was good.
Those two people-in-charge were beginning to understand the true meaning of the Tengda Spirit!

Pei Qian sipped his wine to calm himself down.
Never would he have expected that Sloth Apartments would get itself into so many problems.

He had thought that the project would be a failure for sure, but it now looked like he was lacking in imagination.

Or… the world’s imagination far surpassed his own.

Therein lay the problem.
Given how Sloth Apartments was doing, should Pei Qian open more of them?

From the looks of the current situation, Sloth Apartments could aid in burning money because each building cost a great deal.
At least in the short-term, Pei Qian could forget about recovering all of it.

Yet, at the same time, Sloth Apartments’s business model was risky.
Take today for example.
A certain business arm could expand abruptly, and a huge market that had been undiscovered before could appear and cause Boss Pei to rake in a ton of profits.

Pei Qian could not help but feel conflicted.

“Oh, that’s right, Boss Pei.
I have something to give to you.” Song Kai suddenly recalled something.
He retrieved a letter from inside his pocket and handed it to Pei Qian.

Pei Qian started and then took hold of it.

There were no stamps or signatures.
It was a simple envelope with a thank you letter inside.

“Hello…

“I am a victim of the formaldehyde scandal.
Long before Sloth Apartments appeared, I started battling with formaldehyde.
I poured a huge amount of time and energy into it, but to no avail.

“I couldn’t do anything about it because the voice of the ordinary man is too small.

“I am very thankful to all the kind people online who have spoken up about this.
At the same time, I am grateful to Sloth Apartments for providing me with a simple solution that saves me unnecessary trouble and helps me to relax.
I no longer have to wrangle and fight with Home Corporation.
I just have to give up on them and choose Sloth Apartments instead.

“From the bottom of my heart, I hope that Sloth Apartments would expand out of Jingzhou one day and allow everyone around the country to rent an apartment with peace of mind!”

Since there was no signature, Pei Qian had no idea who wrote this.

After a moment of silence, he folded the letter and placed it back into its envelope.
Finally, he handed it back to Song Kai.

“Keep this letter well, and do not lose it.

“Sloth Apartments has to work hard to allow every tenant to rent an apartment with peace of mind!”
