417: Free seven days

Liu Gaoda stammered, “I… I’m sorry!”

“Alright,” Qian Ziyong waved his hand. “As your brother, I’m very happy to see you find happiness.”

“However, a girlfriend is a girlfriend, and a career is a career. Not a single one of those one thousand push-ups per hour can be missed!”

Originally, Qian Ziyong felt a bit reluctant to make Liu Gaoda do a thousand push-ups in an hour.

But then Liu Gaoda abused him, a single dog, by showing off his affection in front of him!

Now Qian Ziyong only felt that a thousand was too few!

“No problem!” Liu Gaoda said excitedly.

Qian Ziyong added, “You don’t need to worry about Feihuang Restaurant and Mi Bing Milk Tea anymore; focus on Feihuang Fitness.”

He wanted Liu Gaoda to focus on fitness earlier, so he wouldn't cause any more trouble.

“Okay!” Liu Gaoda nodded heavily.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had taken it upon himself to keep Feihuang Restaurant open…

“Ziyong, I didn’t follow your order to close Feihuang Restaurant…” Liu Gaoda said nervously.

Qian Ziyong said, “It’s fine, you did very well.”

“I originally thought that no one cared about Feihuang Restaurant, so closing it would be fine.”

“Later, I realized that Feihuang Restaurant is very important, and it was right not to close it.”

Hearing this, Liu Gaoda breathed a sigh of relief.

The two chatted for a while longer, then Qian Ziyong hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Qian Ziyong immediately posted an announcement on the Feihuang Restaurant App.

“I am Qian Ziyong, the owner of Feihuang Restaurant, and I sincerely apologize to all customers here.”

“I didn’t expect so many people to care about Feihuang Restaurant, and so many people to recognize Feihuang Restaurant!”

“I apologize for making the decision to close Feihuang Restaurant without following the suggestions of the vast majority of customers.”

“As a token of apology, existing customers will receive seven days of free dining at Feihuang Restaurant, with a daily limit of fifty yuan per person.”

“Thank you for your continued support!”

“Thank you!”

“Sincerely, Qian Ziyong!”

After posting the announcement, Qian Ziyong felt much better.

As a person, he had to act in a way that was true to his conscience.

How could he, for his own selfish reasons, let customers eat unhealthy food?

…

After Qian Ziyong posted the announcement, countless Feihuang customers saw it shortly after.

All the customers cheered.

They had never felt that a company was so important to them.

With Feihuang Restaurant not closing, they had a place to eat every day again.

Many people online started discussing it heatedly.

One netizen sighed, “The owner of Feihuang Restaurant is too generous, directly offering seven days free with a fifty-yuan limit. I originally wanted to eat a big lobster, but I always couldn’t bear to. This time, I’ll add a little money and try it.”

Someone replied below, “That’s right, the owner of Feihuang Restaurant is certainly generous. He didn’t use this opportunity to market himself, but rather offered a genuine discount.”

“If it were Qi’er Waimai Platform, it would definitely become: all new users get seven days free, and it definitely wouldn’t be as generous as fifty yuan, at most twenty yuan free!”

Others also praised Qian Ziyong’s free strategy.

Logically speaking, after such a stir and widespread discussion online, it was the best time to attract new users.

Feihuang Restaurant could have invested a bit and offered free meals to new users, which would have definitely boosted Feihuang Restaurant’s business.

However, Qian Ziyong didn’t do that; instead, he offered free meals to existing users.

New users want free meals?

Don’t even think about it!

Feihuang was famously known for not offering discounts; whatever the price was, that was the price.

Unlike the flamboyant Qi’er Waimai Platform, which constantly offered discounts and desperately discounted for its own benefit.

The wool comes from the sheep; what is Qi’er Waimai Platform discounting for now, if not to earn more money in the future?

But Qian Ziyong was truly grateful to them, only giving to old users.

Feihuang Restaurant’s old users were famously loyal; they would eat at Feihuang Restaurant whether it was free or not.

This free offer was entirely about losing money to thank them, rather than making money from them.

Full of sincerity.

One netizen left a proud message under the announcement on the Feihuang Restaurant App: “President Qian, I forgive you for closing the store without permission. Just don’t do it again next time.”

Someone else said, “President Qian, so cute!”

“President Qian, I love you!”

“President Qian, I want to bear your children.”

“…”

Many people also anxiously asked, “I permanently blacklisted Feihuang, how do I unblacklist it? Waiting online, very urgent!”

…

Inside a villa in Shen City, Qian Ziyong was very uneasy.

Because today was the day of the system settlement.

There were no surprises this cycle; he should, maybe, probably succeed in losing money?

[System settling…]

[Settlement complete. Congratulations, Host, on successfully losing money.]

[Host: Qian Ziyong]

[Fixed Assets: Feihuang Supermarket, 0;

Heli Lao Hotpot: 0;

Feihuang Construction Co., Ltd.: 0;

Feihuang Restaurant: 0;

Feihuang Hospital: 370 million;

Feihuang Kindergarten: 0;

Mi Bing Milk Tea: 0;

Maha Game Company: 0;

Feihuang Game Platform: 0;

Feihuang Fitness: 0;

Feihuang Legal: 0;

Feihuang Commercial Plaza: 1.22 billion;

Total: 1.49 billion.]

[Cash: 30 million.]

[Grand Total: 1.52 billion.]

[Congratulations, Host, on completing the mission.]

[Cashback in progress… 480 million. Host used system technology, triggering double cashback.]

[Cashback amount: 960 million.]

[May the Host continue to strive.]

Seeing 1.57 billion in his personal bank account, Qian Ziyong chuckled foolishly.

He would never be able to spend all that money!

He wouldn’t have to worry for the rest of his life.

He now had two villas, two large flats, and as for cars, there was no need to mention them; buying cars was just a small expense, not worth mentioning.

What made him happiest was that this cycle’s mission was completed very successfully.

Fortunately, he was smart and wasted over a billion yuan on advertising for Feihuang Hospital.

Otherwise, it would have been difficult to successfully lose money this cycle.

Qian Ziyong looked at the system settlement page and found that Feihuang Commercial Plaza’s fixed assets were 1.22 billion.

This figure was different from the market valuation of Feihuang Commercial Plaza; the current market valuation of Feihuang Commercial Plaza had already exceeded ten billion yuan.

He owned half of the shares, so his valuation should also have exceeded five billion yuan.

But valuation is valuation, and real value is real value; the system was still very humane in this regard.

If he sold Feihuang Plaza and got the real price of Feihuang Plaza, the selling price would be deducted by 1.22 billion, which would be counted as what he earned in the next cycle.

In other words, as long as he didn't sell it, Feihuang Plaza would not generate fixed assets for him.

The system was truly benevolent!

If it were based on valuation, he would have made a fortune this cycle again.

“Does that mean I can keep building plazas and keep losing money like this?”

Qian Ziyong glanced at Feihuang Commercial Plaza’s revenue and quickly dismissed the idea.

Due to the popularity of Feihuang Commercial Plaza, its rental prices had risen again and again. Now, just by leaving it there for a year, it could bring him 500 million in cash.

One must know that the total investment was only over six billion, and he only invested over three billion.

Now there was a return of 500 million per year.
