"Should we do some simple renovations again?" Li Jiayun hesitated, saying, "Our hotel's renovations have only been going on for about six months..."

Hotel renovation is no small matter; it takes a long time and costs a lot of money. If the renovation effect does not improve the hotel much, the loss of customers during the renovation period is also a significant loss.

"It's just a simple renovation, using some special materials and props. It won't affect our hotel's operations. This is the plan, you can take a look later. I'll have someone deliver some of the special materials and props later..." Lin Yun said with a slight smile.

He handed Li Jiayun a booklet he was holding. This booklet was a gift from the shop owner when he bought the jacuzzi; it was made of paper from Earth.

"This...this effect?" Li Jiayun initially just casually flipped through the booklet, but she was quickly taken aback and hurriedly continued flipping through it.

The renderings in this booklet are incredibly high-end.

She couldn't believe that their hotel could be decorated like this.

This style of decoration was something she had never seen before.

"Boss, can our hotel really be decorated like this?" Li Jiayun looked up at Lin Yun, somewhat excited.

If their hotel could be renovated to look like the picture, she was certain that their hotel's customer traffic would increase rapidly, and they could even raise their room rates further.

"Of course." Lin Yun smiled.

The renovation is just a minor accessory; the jacuzzi is the most important thing.

He believes that even without these renovations, as long as there is a jacuzzi, their hotel can still be one of the top hotels in Shenzhen.

Because the jacuzzi he purchased from the cosmic trading system is something that Earth's technology cannot replicate, guests who want to use this jacuzzi must stay at this hotel.

However, it's not a bad thing to have better renovations that make customers feel more comfortable.

At the very least, customers are more likely to accept price increases.

"This is a batch of jacuzzi. I'll have someone bring them over this afternoon, and they'll be installed together with the renovation materials and props..." Lin Yun continued.

"A jacuzzi?" Li Jiayun asked in surprise, then nodded and said, "Okay, boss."

Their hotel was initially positioned as neither too high-end nor too ordinary, so even the worst room was a standard room with a private bathroom and a fairly large space, big enough to fit a jacuzzi.

Just then, Li Jiayun suddenly remembered something and hesitated before saying, "Oh right, boss, the renovation workers..."

Those renderings were quite peculiar; she wondered if Lin Yun had arranged for any construction workers.

"Most of these things are easy to install; they're not difficult at all. Any construction worker can do it by looking at the instructions. I'll have someone find some construction workers," Lin Yun said after thinking for a moment.

The shop owner was very considerate of his customers and offered several renovation options.

A more convenient option for buyers who don't mind spending more spirit points is to purchase a renovation robot. Renovation robots have many renovation programs, which can not only install these things, but also do a lot of renovation work. If the renovation robot is no longer needed, other programs can be entered to make the robot do other things, making it a multi-functional device.

This option is more suitable for buyers who already have a certain level of financial strength. They can not only afford to buy a renovation robot, but also create a certain amount of private space. Alternatively, if the technology has developed to a certain level and renovation robots are already a common phenomenon in the buyer's civilization, then directly purchasing such a robot to work is not conspicuous.

Many people actually choose this option. After all, it's easy for someone who obtains the trading system to develop a certain level of strength. For example, Lin Yun could give the hotel staff a few days off, and then use the purchased robots to renovate the hotel during those days.

Some buyers have even made their fortunes from this project, building hotels on a massive scale in their respective civilizations, then sealing them off and having renovation robots decorate them. They don't just buy one renovation robot, but many, because one renovation robot can't keep up with the speed of hotel construction.

However, Lin Yun is not quite willing to do these things for the time being, as doing so would be somewhat abrupt in many ways.

The Cosmic Trading System also provides a warning, advising each terminal owner to be cautious when starting development. Not a few hosts have died shortly after acquiring the Cosmic Trading System because they were too eager to show off.

The second option is to purchase various materials and props, and then find construction workers in the buyer's civilization to install them. For this purpose, the various materials and props made by the shop owner are very easy to install, but the installation speed is much slower than that of the construction robot. Many buyers also choose this method.

Lin Yun intended to choose this second option.

Actually, there are other options, but they are not quite suitable.

For example, purchasing advanced robots that look almost like normal humans and can even have simple conversations with people. However, even the cheaper ones are not cheap, and there is a possibility of them being discovered. Lin Yun couldn't possibly keep watching them work all the time because of this, so the cost-effectiveness wasn't high. After thinking about it, Lin Yun abandoned this plan.

“This method of renovation is very fast, but in order not to affect the hotel’s operations, let’s renovate only ten rooms a day. We can also gradually recommend this type of room to guests!” Lin Yun said. “Then, there’s the issue of pricing the renovated rooms!”

Li Jiayun quickly perked up.

Room pricing is very important.

After all, you have to make customers feel it's worth it. Otherwise, no matter how good your renovation is, if the price is too high, no customers will be willing to come, and it will be a waste of effort.

Who wouldn't want to decorate their hotel nicely?

Who wouldn't want to stay in a nicer hotel?

Price is a major issue here!

“In the beginning, in order to build our reputation, we can lower our prices a bit, let’s say… 90% off!” Lin Yun thought for a moment and said.

“Boss, isn’t a 90% discount too cheap? Besides, if the renovated rooms are priced like this, how are the regular rooms priced…” Li Jiayun immediately looked troubled.

Li Jiayun's concerns were not unfounded; the price of a standard room at their hotel was three or four hundred yuan.

In her mind, the price of a regular room after renovation would be around seven or eight hundred at most. With a 10% discount, that would be seventy or eighty, which is several times lower than the price of a standard room. It's practically a loss-making venture to gain publicity. Any customer who isn't stupid would know which room to choose. Moreover, initially, there won't be many renovated rooms available, and many customers who don't get to stay in these rooms will probably have quite a few complaints...

And most importantly, it's easy to lower prices, but difficult to raise them!

Once their hotel experiences such a significant price reduction, not only will other rooms become harder to sell, but it will also be difficult to raise prices again later!

“If the price is too high, I’m afraid very few customers will be willing to try this kind of room. After all, our hotel’s occupancy rate is not very high. Setting the price at 10% off makes it easier to raise the price later…” Lin Yun shook his head and said.

He doesn't care about short-term gains; what he wants is to quickly build a reputation.

“If we set the price at 10% of the original price, it will be easier to raise the price later…” Li Jiayun choked, she didn’t expect Lin Yun to have such a thought.

Just as she was about to remind Lin Yun that he might be mistaken, Lin Yun spoke up and asked, "What is the price of the most expensive standard room in our hotel?"

“1,388, but not many people stay there. Most of the customers stay in the standard rooms that cost 300 or 400, and some customers stay in the rooms that cost 500 or 600. But the more expensive rooms are rarely occupied…” Li Jiayun said with a wry smile.

"Let's renovate the standard rooms for 300-400 first, and price them at 666 with a 10% discount. Once we've built up a reputation, we can renovate the better rooms and price them at 888 or 999..." Lin Yun thought for a moment and said.

"What?" Li Jiayun was stunned.

"Boss, do you mean the original price was 666, 888, or 999?" After a moment, Li Jiayun asked cautiously.

“What I want to build is the top-tier hotel in Shenzhen, even in the whole country and the world. Six hundred and sixty-six, eight hundred and eighty-eight, nine hundred and ninety-nine, is that the room price of a top-tier hotel?” Lin Yun looked at Li Jiayun and almost laughed out of anger.
