Chapter 1339: Sloth Apartments’ New Design

Pei Qian could not remain calm at the thought of Tian Mo.

He really met all the conditions!

The most important thing was that Tian Mo’s surname was Tian. He was the only one in charge with the surname Tian.

Pei Qian had already placed Tian Mo on a highly suspicious list when he found the person-in-charge with the surname Tian. However, he felt that Tian Mo was too different from Young Master Tian’s character profile at that time, so he temporarily dispelled this idea.

With the appearance of the second video and the gradual improvement of Young Master Tian’s image, Tian Mo became more and more suspicious.

Pei Qian nearly planned the name list for the third Suffering Travels on the spot.

However, on further thought, he felt that there was still something suspicious.

First of all, Young Master Tian’s first video was about Dawn Games platform. What’s more, he seemed to have a certain understanding of the game industry.

There were only two explanations for this: either Young Master Tian had rich gaming experience, or he was very smart and knew everything. He had a deeper understanding of various industries.

Based on what Pei Qian knew, Tian Mo did not have much gaming experience before coming to Tengda. He did not have a deep understanding of this. He could tell from Tian Mo playing games in the experience shop.

Someone who had been playing Repent and be Saved for days and could not leave the newbie village did not seem like the former.

Tian Mo did not look like the latter from the hardships of looking for a job.

Secondly, Young Master Tian’s video editing skills were very good. This was not something that could be trained overnight.

Tian Mo did not seem to be good at this either.

Unless…

During Tian Mo’s time in Tengda, he suddenly understood the game industry. What’s more, he found a partner with superb video production skills and jointly created the “Young Master Tian” account?

Could this high-tech video production partner also be hidden in Tengda?

He had to be even more cautious if the incident with Young Master Tian was not a personal crime but a gang crime.

It was simple to arrange for Tian Mo to suffer now, but this would also alert his partner.

What if they went deeper into hiding?

Thus, after much consideration, Pei Qian decided to take his time to think about this.

However, he had to keep an eye on Tian Mo in the future for things related to Young Master Tian. Perhaps he could follow along and pull out the force behind him by the roots!

Pei Qian put Young Master Tian’s matter aside for now and continued to think about Home Corporation and Sloth Apartments.

“I didn’t expect this matter to blow up so much. I just decided to make ‘Real Estate Agent Simulator’. I didn’t want to have anything to do with Home Corporation at all…”

“Now, it looks like everyone has been suffering in Home Corporation for a long time.”

“I thought that after the previous ‘formaldehyde house’ incident, large companies, including Home Corporation, would restrain themselves and change. However, it looks like I was overthinking.”

“If you expect the capital to be kind, you might as well expect the sun to rise from the west and set from the east.”

“I didn’t expect so many people to call Sloth Apartments.”

“However, the Sloth Apartments is still expanding too slowly. Buying building after building and expanding all over the country. I’m afraid it would be difficult for me to complete it even if I were to lose money to become a tycoon.”

After some consideration, Pei Qian called Liang Qingfan and asked him to come over.

By the time Liang Qingfan arrived, Pei Qian had roughly organized his thoughts.

“We have to make some adjustments to the next stage of development of Sloth Apartments.”

“Provided that quality is guaranteed, we can expand to other cities like Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Fish-Catching Take-Out, and Upwind Logistics. We will no longer be constrained to buying buildings. We can also sign a long rental agreement with real estate developers or ordinary landlords and transform it into Sloth Apartments.”

“In terms of price, as long as we can theoretically maintain the lowest profits, it would be fine. In the short term, we will focus on expanding the scale. There is no need to be too calculative about whether we make money or not.”

After some consideration, Pei Qian felt that there was no point in keeping the Sloth Apartments in its current state.

Buying a building might burn money but wouldn’t he be able to lose money if he bought a building to do other business?

On the other hand, Sloth Apartments had become the conscience of the rental market after several peers. It had a lot of attention and fame, far exceeding its current scale.

Apart from Jingzhou, tenants in other cities were all waiting expectantly.

Pei Qian could understand this feeling very well.

Since that was the case, why not change the model of Sloth Apartments, break the restrictions that could only be expanded by buying buildings, and do it in a long-term rental way?

Of course, there were bad things about long-term rent compared to buying.

For example, it was easy to argue with the original owner. What if the other party wasted their time on the reputation and renovations of the Sloth Apartments and broke the contract before it opened for business?

That was not impossible.

If it was before, Pei Qian might have had a headache over this problem. However, it would not happen now. That was because Liang Qingfan had already figured out a solution when he signed the long rental agreement with the merchants in the snack market.

That was to raise harsher conditions!

The tenants were definitely disadvantaged compared to the landlords.

However, Tengda was not a disadvantaged group compared to the landlords and even real estate developers.

Tengda would step in and pay a relatively generous rent, sign a long rental contract, and then renovate these houses. Finally, they would rent them out at a price higher than the market price.

Unlike Home Corporation’s Safe House, Safe House was actually meant to pursue more profits. That was why they would spend as much money on renovating materials and furniture.

However, Sloth Apartments would strictly minimize the profits allowed by the system. Even if this price was higher than the houses on the market, tenants would understand that it was worth it in the end.

Of course, most landlords and real estate developers would definitely not agree to such harsh conditions.

However, it did not matter. In any case, Tengda was not trying to seize the market and expand. There was no reason to compromise on this.

Sloth Apartments was now famous enough. He did not have to worry about not being able to find a partner.

What’s more, no matter how harsh the conditions for long-term rent were, it was much more convenient than buying a building.

Liang Qingfan nodded immediately. “Understood! I’ll arrange for someone to advance this matter seriously!”

To Liang Qingfan, Boss Pei was showing his true colors.

Sloth Apartments had been farming in Jingzhou for so long. Finally, it was going to enter other cities in such a high-profile manner!

This time, there was a huge discussion on the internet about the rental model. The shares of Home Corporation had suffered a huge setback. The biggest beneficiary of this public opinion storm was undoubtedly Slow Movement Studio’s “Real Estate Agent Simulator” and the only conscientious brand in the domestic rental industry, Sloth Apartments.

Taking this opportunity to enter other cities was undoubtedly a god-given opportunity!

It looked like Boss Pei had planned everything. He had to say that Boss Pei’s plan was indeed exquisite.

On one hand, he was calm. He was not overwhelmed by victory when Sloth Apartments achieved initial success. Instead, he accurately judged that Home Corporation was not yet injured and still wanted to continue accumulating strength.

On the other hand, he dared to make a decision. He made such a bold expansion plan the moment the storm erupted!

Liang Qingfan felt his blood boil.

He had been unhappy with Home Corporation for a long time!

Sloth Apartments entering other cities this time was equivalent to declaring war on Home Corporation. It would definitely trigger their intense counterattack.

But so what?

Had Tengda been afraid of anyone?

Had Dayak Corporation heard of it? So what if it was a multinational capital? Wasn’t it still because of Boss Pei?

No matter how much capital you have, it would not be as big as the people in this land!

What was Home Corporation compared to Dayak Corporation?

Companies that could only be unreasonable in their own homes, companies that squeezed blood, sweat, and tears from tenants domestically, and listed their companies in the United States, looked like huge monsters. However, in Boss Pei’s eyes, they were probably chicken and dog. They did not even have the desire to do it themselves.

Liang Qingfan happily accepted this task and turned to leave.

…

At the same time, at Slow Movement Studio.

Lin Wan, Cai Jiadong, and the other core members were in a meeting.

“Everyone can take a look at this plan. Many players made some suggestions and ideas. I suddenly had inspiration after reading it. I made this simple plan.”

“Do you think this plan is feasible?”

Cai Jiadong looked at the plan in front of him seriously. Indeed, this plan overthrew all the new version plans that he had previously planned.

At first, the new version only wanted to make up for the game’s content. However, this plan had a huge change in functionality.

The reason for this was that many players had moved their real house type into the Real Estate Agent Simulator. After all, this was a simulated management game. The game mechanism itself could be done.

However, he could not share such a satisfactory design with other players. That was quite uncomfortable.

Thus, many people were asking for Mod or design drawings online.

Since players had this requirement, why not make an official function to satisfy them?

Lin Wan even thought of a deeper layer. Since she could choose outstanding room layout through gamers’ likes, and there were even many real house types, could she improve further and use this game to provide a communication platform for gamers?

Everyone knew that most of the property in the market was now controlled by large intermediary companies.

The way to control it was also very simple. It was to harass humans.

The landlord had posted online that the house had to have his own number. The intermediaries were searching for a new house every day. When they found it, they would call the landlord constantly, hoping to rent the house to them.

That was the daily job of intermediaries.

The landlord had received too many harassment calls. He could not even receive the calls of real tenants. It had even severely affected his daily work and life.

Only a few hardheaded landlords could persist in not renting to intermediary companies. Most of them finally compromised.

However, no matter what, the landlord and the tenant hoped to skip the wish of the intermediary company. It had always existed.

It could be seen from many forums and group posts that contacted tenants of their own accord.

However, it was still too difficult to buy houses on these forums. It was very inconvenient.

What if he could create a platform that eliminated intermediaries and allowed landlords to contact tenants directly?

Not only would he be able to eliminate intermediary companies’ interference, but he would also be able to allow tenants to see the details of the house directly in the game. That would save a lot of trouble.

Of course, it was not easy to do this. That was because intermediaries could disguise as landlords and tenants and blend in. Once landlords and tenants fell out, they would also have to be adjusted.

If he wanted to do this, it would not be simply developing a new version. Instead, it would be equivalent to creating a new industry from scratch.

Given Slow Movement Studio’s current manpower and financial resources, it was very difficult.

Thus, at the end of the plan, Lin Wan wrote two expected partners, hoping to complete this model together.

These two partners were Shenhua Real Estate and Sloth Apartments.
