The flyers of Star Bird Fitness and the publicity material had of course been adjusted in order to cooperate with the new equipment. The Doubt VR glasses and the Fitness Battle VR version were the main gimmicks to attract nearby customers.

  At the same time, it was only natural for the new branch to receive a huge reward for opening.

  All the stores of Star Bird Fitness would give new customers experience for two hours for free, and there would be discounts within a week. Old customers would also be given some discounts if they experienced the VR version or pulled friends over.

  It might be Saturday but it was the first day of operations after all. Che Rong did not expect a large number of customers to come.

  Fame had to be accumulated slowly after all.

  What Che Rong was thinking was that the gym would still be popular a few days before it opened for business by distributing flyers and giving huge bonuses. The gym would only slowly become popular after the week was almost over.

  What he did not expect was that more and more customers were arriving before noon!

  What’s more, most customers had never come to Star Bird Fitness before.

  At first, Che Rong was puzzled. Why were the flyers so powerful?

  It did not make sense!

  He had distributed a lot of flyers before, but the efficiency was very low.

  Most people only took one flyer out of embarrassment after all. It would be good enough if a hundred flyers could attract one or two customers to the shop.

  However, the young man who had sent out the flyers had not returned yet. Why were there so many people now?

  Che Rong asked carefully and realized that it was not because of the flyers.

  These people had all come from the nearby Fish-Catching Internet Cafe!

  One of the batches of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe had already completed the transformation, and half of the computers had been replaced with VR glasses. However, this transformation had to be done in batches after all. What’s more, it could only be transformed into Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 1.0. Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 2.0 and 3.0’s Live E-Sports Museum was not suitable for such changes. Thus, there was still a shortage of VR equipment.

  Many Fish-Catching Internet Cafes’ VR experience areas had serious queues.

  At that moment, the name Star Bird Fitness was spread among these players.

  Fish-Catching Internet Cafe could only experience “Animal Island”. The game might be more fun than “Fitness Battle” but there was no space!

  Therefore, they had to settle for the next best thing. They would experience the Doubt VR glasses at Star Bird Fitness, look at the resolution of the glasses, and then look at the lady in Fitness Battle from the VR perspective.

  ‘Fitness Battle’ was a mobile game. Even though only a few people could persevere and train, most people had downloaded it, had accounts, and drawn a few beautiful clothes.

  Therefore, it was normal to want to try the VR version.

  Che Rong was moved to tears.

  Previously, he had thought that Boss Pei had helped him enough. He had already given him a furnace in the snow. He could not repay him.

  Now, he realized that Boss Pei’s gift was not over!

  They even used Fish-Catching Internet Cafe to direct the portion of customers that Fish-Catching Internet Cafe could not eat to Star Bird Fitness so that Star Bird Fitness had a large number of customers not long after its opening!

  Of course, it was impossible for all these customers to stay. Many of them were only here to try it out. They would probably not come in the future.

  However, no matter what, it would be enough if only a small portion of these people remained!

  Che Rong and the staff were busy helping customers adjust the equipment and guiding them to better experience the VR version of the Fitness Battle.

  There were also customers who did not want to play after playing for a while. They felt a little stuffy and continued playing in ordinary mode. Star Bird Fitness had a huge television for every smart fitness drying rack. They could also obtain a good experience.

  To put it bluntly, the VR version only provided customers with an additional experience. This experience might not be particularly perfect, but it was essential.

  Che Rong was extremely busy, but it was all bliss.

  Previously, Star Bird Fitness walked in an ordinary gym model. No matter how hard he worked, business was just like that. Even if Che Rong wanted to be busy, he could not muster any energy.

  However, things had become completely different.

  Star Bird Fitness had changed to a new business model, making Che Rong feel that his future was bright. Even his work was filled with motivation!

  Indeed, most of the time, walking in the right direction was more important than anything else.

  Che Rong suddenly saw a familiar figure while he was busy.

  He might be wearing a mask but…… wasn’t this Boss Pei?!

  The last time they met, Che Rong did not know Boss Pei. However, there was no reason for him not to recognize him this time.

  He might look like an ordinary young man on the surface, but he could easily do things that others could not do and create business miracles. His entire back view looked extremely tall!

  “Boss Pei is worried about the situation here, so he specially came to take a look?”


  “I’m really sorry about that!”


  “I really cannot repay your kindness.”


  “How should I greet Boss Pei……”


  Che Rong was very touched.

  Logically speaking, Boss Pei had arranged at least three layouts in advance. It was enough to ensure that Star Bird Fitness’ new store would be popular when it opened. Howewver, even so, Boss Pei had specially come to take a look. This was enough to show how much Boss Pei valued Star Bird Fitness!

  However, how should he greet him? Che Rong fell into a dilemma.

  Che Rong felt that Boss Pei already knew his identity but the two of them had not known each other on the business level. They had only interacted privately as property buyers and sellers.

  Should he address him as “Boss Pei” now? It did not seem appropriate.

  However, calling him ‘Brother Pei’ was even more inappropriate!

  He definitely could not be too serious, but he could not be too casual either. It would be unforgivable if he did not want to make Boss Pei angry if he were to handle it too seriously.

  It was really difficult to grasp the speed.

  Che Rong saw Boss Pei walk around Star Bird Fitness and immediately turn around to leave just as he was struggling.

  “This……”


  Che Rong was stunned. He was just about to raise his hand to stop Boss Pei when he retracted his hand.

  Boss Pei had come to take a look with a mask on. He must have wanted to keep a low profile.

  It was indeed inappropriate for him to shout out to him.

  However, Boss Pei had already walked away.

  That made Che Rong feel very regretful. He really should not have hesitated! If he had gone up earlier, he might have been able to talk to Boss Pei!

  However, on further thought, there might not be such a need.

  According to Boss Li, Boss Pei was a very clear-cut person. He never did anything unnecessary. What’s more, the time plan was very strict. He never wasted time.

  Boss Pei had probably come this time to confirm the state of Star Bird Fitness and see if his arrangements had worked.

  Since he had already seen it, he could leave. There was no need to stay.

  Thus, there was no need for Che Rong to greet him. Boss Pei did not like meaningless pleasantries.

  At that thought, Che Rong felt a little lucky. It might not be a bad thing for him to hesitate just now.

  “When dealing with Boss Pei, we cannot use real-life human interaction rules to copy him.”


  “I have to be like Boss Li, understand Boss Pei’s temper and interact with him in the way that Boss Pei likes.”


  “There’s no need to go up and greet him this time. It’s good that we understand each other. I’ll do a good job at Star Bird Fitness. Tengda’s investment will also make money. This is a win-win situation.”


  Boss Pei’s arrival greatly boosted Che Rong’s confidence. He continued to work enthusiastically……

  Pei Qian was speechless after walking out of Star Bird Fitness.

  Was this a freaking gym?

  It was a huge internet cafe!

  Even the charging format was similar to internet cafes.

  However, the equipment used in other internet cafes was computers, and the equipment used here was a smart fitness drying rack, a big television, and VR glasses.

  Business was actually quite good. That was the most ridiculous thing!

  The reason why Pei Qian left so quickly was that he only took a glance and realized that he had been fooled.

  Che Rong had never said that this gym used all of Tengda’s equipment before!

  Che Rong only said that his gym had not been doing well for the past two years. Fortunately, he had a benefactor helping him recently. The situation had only improved slightly.

  Come to think of it, there was a problem with who this ’eminent person’ was!

  If Che Rong had said that he had bought a full set of Tengda equipment, Pei Qian might not have asked Dream Realization Ventures to invest in him.

  Thus, Pei Qian was cheated without a doubt.

  In the current situation, a gym was equipped with a smart fitness drying rack and VR glasses. That was equivalent to dozens of products.

  If Star Bird Fitness opened more branches, the purchase fee could not be underestimated.

  The most important thing was that Star Bird Fitness would also play certain publicity and promotional role!

  Perhaps someone would come to Star Bird Fitness in the future and play VR games for a while when they were tired from training. Then, they would be happy and buy VR glasses at home?

  However, at this point, Pei Qian did not have a good solution.

  Fortunately, Star Bird Fitness did not have a large scale now, and the number of equipment purchased was not huge. When the first wave of popularity caused by Doubt VR subsided, the popularity here should slowly decrease.

  Tengda had only indirectly invested in Star Bird Fitness. It should not make a lot of money.

  It was really a trap!

  How could everyone he met in his life stab him in the back?

  Pei Qian shook his head helplessly. He took the car back to continue thinking about how to spend money before this cycle ended……

  July 22nd, Sunday……

  Star Bird Fitness flagship store.

  Che Rong was even busier today than yesterday because there were more customers!

  The gym might not be full yet but the attendance rate at peak hours had reached 80-90%. The usual attendance rate was also 40-50%.

  The model of Star Bird Fitness was different from other gyms. Other gyms had to apply for cards, but Star Bird Fitness was allowed to experience it on a per-use basis. The fees were more varied.

  It did not look like a gym, but more like an internet cafe.

  A single charge might be a little more expensive but it was obviously a safer choice for customers who wanted to try it out.

  Che Rong thought about outsourcing software for customers to check the gym’s current situation in real-time if there was a chance in the future. He wanted to see if it was full and if there were still empty seats.

  It was impossible to arrange everyone’s fitness schedule like Deposit Fitness, but they could at least avoid queuing.
