Chapter 506 Almost Ready to Open a Branch! (Seeking a Guaranteed Monthly Pass)
Saturday, April 30.
After lunch, Pei Qian strolled to the hosting gym.
I told Zhang Yuan before that I want to find a coach for the club, but where to find the coach... Pei Qian really has no idea.
Professional e-sports coaches will definitely not work.
Because GOG is still a new game at present, although Pei Qian heard that some established clubs are also planning GOG divisions, overall, the popularity is not enough, and it is impossible to talk about formality.
In other words, in the initial stage, everyone's level is still very low.
Because the club wants to open a branch for a certain game, it must first investigate whether this game can continue to be popular in China for a long time.
If you have just opened a branch, invested resources and started training, the game is cold, and the branch has to be disbanded. Isn't that a waste of work?
At present, GOG and ioi are fighting hard. The idea of many clubs is to pick the winner of these two games. These two emerging MOBA games only need to support a branch.
Therefore, even the teams that have established GOG branches are all pecking at each other.
At this time, a professional coach, even a not-so-excellent professional coach, can bring a completely new level of improvement to the team.
Although Zhang Yuan didn't know much about e-sports, at least he wasn't stupid, and the coach he hired probably wouldn't be too bad.
If you add Mr. Pei's mysterious luck all the time, accidentally popping up an SSR among the players or coaches...
The consequences were unimaginable.
Therefore, Pei Qian must find a way to find a coach who can satisfy him, and at the same time make Zhang Yuan speechless.
Um……
But it is too difficult!
Pei Qian's brain hurt a little, but fortunately, he had agreed with Zhang Yuan before that he would find this candidate within two weeks, so there was no need to worry too much.
When he came to the door of the hosting gym, Pei Qian stepped in.
It was also the weekend, but there were significantly fewer people in the gym than when they came last time.
Pei Qian froze for a moment, then understood what was going on, and couldn't help but be ecstatic.
Many of the customers from last week have been persuaded to leave!
Because of the special charging model of managed gyms, many people do not need to hesitate when signing up for membership, after all, all balances can be refunded.
But these people may not be able to strictly follow the planned training plan and stick to it.
Once these people can't persist, they will be "refunded" and can no longer join in a short period of time.
As a result, a group of customers were successfully persuaded to leave!
Although the notice board did attract a group of customers, and some people did sign up for membership, but in the face of the rules of managed gyms, what's the use of not being able to persist?
Pei Qian couldn't help feeling a little proud of his wisdom.
Beyond that, there have been some minor changes to managed gyms compared to last week.
The number of permanent service personnel in the gym has reached three.
Originally, there was only one receptionist who was responsible for distributing wristbands and reception, and the coaches would also be a guest at the reception and guidance work when they had nothing to do.
Now, the service staff has also been expanded, and they also go to work in shifts, and there are three service staff permanently stationed in the gym.
A front desk is mainly responsible for reception work, such as registering customer information, distributing towels, bracelets, water, etc.
An administrator, responsible for daily company business, such as coach scheduling, docking with Moyu takeaway, etc.
A planner, responsible for arranging schedules, formulating training plans, and analyzing current customer information in the gym.
Of course, the division of labor between these three positions is not so clear, and sometimes they help each other.
"President Pei." The front desk was the first to see Pei Qian.
"Hello, Mr. Pei." It was noon, and the administrator was arranging today's fitness meal with two coaches.
"Mr. Pei." The planner was seriously typing on the keyboard on the notebook in the rest area, and when he saw Pei Qian, he stood up and nodded.
A smile appeared on the corner of Pei Qian's mouth, and he nodded.
The reason why he has more expressions on this planner is because... the real identity of this planner is an undercover agent inserted in, and he is one of the 18 undercover officers!
In private, Guan Xiansheng called Pei Qian "senior".
In public, you still have to be called "Boss Pei".
Otherwise, wouldn't it be revealing, implying that there is such a mysterious department for everyone...
The positions in the gym are all on rotation. Although this management student is a student, he does not have many courses, and Handong University is only two steps away from the host gym, so he is still qualified for this part of his work.
There is no such position as a managed fitness planner in other gyms, because the mechanism of managed gyms is different from other gyms.
In order to reduce the passenger flow during the peak period, Guo Licheng suggested to Pei Qian that an app should be made to allow customers to make appointments and control the number of people in the gym at the same time. At the same time, preliminary arrangements should be made for each customer's time at the very beginning. For example, if you find that there are too many customers on Thursday, then you will not be able to receive customers who want to come on Thursday unless you change the time.
At present, there is still a period of time before the APP is developed, which can only be completed manually by planners.
However, since the number of people in the gym is relatively small, it is far from the limit that the gym can carry, so there will be no delay.
At present, the position of a planner is at most a preliminary arrangement, and it does not need to be specific to a certain time period of a certain day.
Pei Qian arranged for this Guan Xiansheng to be a planner, mainly to let him have the most accurate information of the gym, and always know how far the gym's current number of people is from being profitable.
The first regular meeting will be held next Saturday, but Pei Qian can't wait.
He pretended to be nonchalant and greeted everyone, and came to sit down next to this Guan Xiansheng.
Although there are too many strangers, Pei Qian has forgotten his name, but it doesn't matter, as long as he remembers which department he is an undercover agent.
"How far is the gym from being profitable now?" Pei Qian asked casually in a chatty tone.
The management student answered seriously: "Boss Pei, in terms of the current daily expenses of the gym, excluding the profit of the fish takeaway, it takes an average of about 200 people per day to recover the cost."
"If you take into account equipment depreciation, daily maintenance, and a certain amount of profit, and recover the initial investment in fitness equipment as soon as possible, then 300 people per day is a better number."
"Our current number is . . . twenty."
"Even at the peak of the number of people, the utilization rate of the entire gym is less than a quarter."
Pei Qian was very satisfied with this answer.
Take a look, it's worthy of being a Guan Xiansheng trained by me. The report work is clean and neat, without any redundant information.
Pei Qian nodded approvingly: "Yes, keep going."
The current situation is still far from being profitable. This is good news. Pei Qian thinks that it is almost time to consider opening a branch.
He continued to walk in, and saw Guo Licheng who was crazily lifting weights in the strength training area.
I don't know if it's my illusion, but compared to last week, Guo Licheng seems to be bigger.
Pei Qian was very satisfied with this.
This Guo Licheng is very obedient!
He was told to work hard and try to be bigger than all the coaches, so he wouldn't have the energy to do fancy marketing and the gym wouldn't make money.
Guo Licheng is really training hard, muscles don't lie.
Seeing President Pei coming, Guo Licheng hurriedly put the barbell away and stood up.
"Boss Pei! I'm..."
Just as Guo Licheng wanted to explain, Pei Qian raised his hand to stop him.
"You are doing very well. As the store manager and signboard of the entire gym, you must have the best figure to attract customers! So, you must not relax, and you must continue to persevere!"
"I came here today to ask, you know, are there any gyms like this that are better decorated and have a larger space? Especially those near Moyu Internet Cafe or the offices of various departments of Tenda."
"Oh, by the way, there must be one near Mingyun Villa."
Guo Licheng was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Pei, do you want to investigate and study, or..."
Pei Qian smiled slightly: "Of course we want to open a branch!"
Guo Licheng was at a loss.
ha?
Now there are not many students in this gym, and the money they earn is not even a fraction of the loss, so they still need to open a branch?
And judging by Mr. Pei's intentions, isn't it just opening a family?
Guo Licheng hurriedly said: "Mr. Pei, think twice!"
Pei Qian raised his hand and signaled him to stop: "I've thought twice, you just give me the list of these suitable gyms, I'll arrange someone to talk and see how many are willing to transfer."
"Then I will trouble you to continue preparing fitness equipment for the branch, recruiting people and so on."
Guo Licheng opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Mr. Pei's resolute attitude, he had no choice but to nod: "Alright Mr. Pei, I understand."
"Uh...President Pei, what did you say about the rules for choosing a site?"
Pei Qian repeated: "In this batch, three to five branches will be opened. Some gyms are definitely not willing to transfer, so you try to give me ten addresses. One of them must be near Mingyun Villa, and the others must be in Moyu Internet Cafe or near the offices of other business departments of Tenda.”
The reason for choosing this location is to better ensure the supply of fitness meals on the one hand, and to provide benefits to employees on the other hand.
Pei Qian has never forgotten that hosting the two projects of the gym and the sloth apartment is to lose money on the one hand, and to provide more benefits to employees on the other hand.
If you don't make money in the first place, and then use employee benefits to squeeze your own wool, it is simply double the happiness.
The observation period for this flagship store has come to an end, and the current situation is relatively optimistic. Although there are some customers, it is far from being profitable.
That being the case, it is almost possible to let in your own employees one after another.
As for why it has to be done one after another, in installments and in batches?
Because the system has limitations in this regard, whether it is a sloth apartment or a shared gym, the benefits provided to employees must be controlled within a certain range.
For example, in the sloth apartment, if there are 100 rooms, only 30 of them can be used as staff dormitories.
The same is true for restaurants and gyms, which can be used as employee benefits, but there is a premise that other consumers must also be able to use them, and they cannot be completely monopolized by employee benefits, and this ratio is strictly limited.
Therefore, in order to develop a fitness program for all employees, Pei Qian has to open many gyms.
Fortunately, as long as this thing can lose money, President Pei has enough motivation!
This chapter is scheduled to be distributed on 55th, and it will be counted in the previous month, not counting the word count in March. I just want to remind everyone that there are still some remaining monthly tickets for February, and they will expire soon, and the monthly guaranteed monthly tickets for March will be voted after 0:00, and the next month will explode and hit the rankings!
