At the age of five, a fortune teller said that I would be able to see through other people's thoughts when I grow up.
My parents thought I was a genius and devoted the whole family's ...
Chapter 176 Emotional Experience Island
Mr. Chen, Mr. Cao, Lao Xiao, and I went to the presidential suite to rest. The employees went to the bathroom or chatted on the spot. I guess they were discussing something very heated.
Mr. Cao said with a smile, "Teacher Wan, I admire you. You are really capable. This position of Vice President can only be held by you."
I waved my hands repeatedly. "I'm a Shaoxing lawyer, so I'm just a novice. The specifics of how to do this depend entirely on someone with experience like you. Besides, this is an immature idea. If we really want to implement it, there's still a lot of concrete work to be done."
Mr. Chen gave me a cigarette and said, "That's a novel idea, very unique. This shot was well fired. Everyone, hurry up and drink your tea. If you need to go to the bathroom, go now. I want to hear what comes next."
Five minutes later, we returned to the conference room. As soon as I stepped onto the podium, the audience applauded enthusiastically, which showed that this group of young people really appreciated my ideas.
"Let's continue. So, what should we do on the island? We must abandon the traditional commercial street concept of selling small commodities. That is a stupid idea. The company can't make money, and the operators can't make money because there are too many homogeneous small commodities.
If we don't sell products, why do we have so many female employees on the island? Think about it, I like everyone to interact with us."
A girl stood up and said: "Open a restaurant, run a B&B, because people always need to eat, and some people need to stay."
"Everyone continue."
"Being a waiter, you can develop beach bathing."
“Be a security guard and a firefighter.”
…
One spoke enthusiastically.
"Everyone is right. These tasks need to be done. Food, accommodation, and beach bathing all need to be provided. However, these are just basic tasks. The island must have unique content to attract tourists."
After saying that, I turned around and wrote on the blackboard: Interactive experience.
The first point: primary emotional experience.
No one knows what I'm up to. Just copy it down first.
"For everyone, no matter if they are thirty, forty, fifty, sixty or even seventy years old, as long as they have been married, they will feel that marriage is a regret. If you find a red rose, you will want a white rose. If you find a white rose, you will feel that the red rose is another kind of scenery.
There was a burst of wild laughter from the audience.
So, the company could hire a group of female employees to allow tourists to have an emotional experience. For example, if I were to look for a tigress, I'd imagine her to be as gentle as water. After landing, you can enter your requirements in the experience hall.
Everyone chuckled.
"Don't laugh. At this time, there is a tour guide on the island. You can get angry with her. For example, if you are sitting with her in a teahouse and want to experience her tenderness, grab the teacup and throw it down. She will immediately make you a new cup of tea and clean up the debris on the ground."
The whole room burst into laughter.
"When you want to grab another vase and throw it away, she will help you move it over and say, 'Sir, I'm afraid you'll get tired, so move it closer and smash it.' Of course, all the damage will be included in the fee."
Even Mr. Chen held his chest and laughed non-stop. The others were even more unrestrained and laughed particularly loudly.
"If you only found a short and plump wife who was over 1.5 meters tall, and you think you need to find a graceful woman in your life, enter "over 1.7 meters tall" on the computer. Okay, a slim girl will be your tour guide. You will chat and laugh happily and have a pleasant journey."
A girl stood up and asked: "What if there are too many similar requests and we can't meet the needs of tourists?"
"The computer replied: Sorry, you have two options. One is to change a different request, and the other is to welcome you to try it again next time."
There was laughter from the audience again.
I concluded, "This is to satisfy some personal emotional experiences. We've changed our tour guides to become a one-on-one service. Of course, you don't need it. There are other attractions on the island to visit."
I turned around and wrote: Second point, intermediate emotional experience.
Everyone copied it.
"Tourists are divided into different levels. Some are financially well-off and want to experience a different kind of spiritual enjoyment than others. We can satisfy that. For example, I, Wanshanhong, am quite good-looking..."
Unexpectedly, a girl said: "No, you can, it's very handsome."
This kind of atmosphere was probably the first time Mr. Chen encountered it. He turned around and looked at the girl with a smile.
"Okay, since you said he's handsome, then I'll shamelessly think I'm handsome."
Laughter, laughter.
"I'm very handsome, but due to various reasons, I didn't become a star. I want to experience what it's like to be a star, so the company can meet my needs.
A "I'm a Star" street was built on the island, two stories high, the only one connected. A luxury open car was prepared. I, Wan Shanhong, stood in the car. The car started, and the female employees ran after it, both on the ground floor and in the corridors on the second floor.
They chased me, shouting, "Wan Shanhong, I love you, Wan Shanhong, I want to marry you." They screamed at the top of their lungs, then threw flowers and plastic apples at the car. "Wan Shanhong, I will marry no one but you," they hurled fake gold rings at the car, leaving me covered in flowers and jewelry. "Let me experience the feeling of being chased by everyone." There were some details, but I won't go into them in detail.
The conference room was practically in a frenzy, with several male employees banging on tables and chairs, shouting, "I'm Pan An, I want to experience it."
The more Mr. Cao listened, the redder his face grew. Mr. Chen occasionally gave a restrained laugh. "Old Xiao used to be a fan of mine, but now he's even more of a fan." His face was filled with a mixture of happiness, joy, and pride.
"So, female employees have found a new job. At the same time, tourists will also see this place as a scenic spot, and young tourists may even join in the fun. Of course, this is just an experience for middle-income people like me, Wan Shanhong. Now let's talk about the third point."
I turned around and wrote: Third, advanced emotional experience.
"Some people have a lot of money, especially a lot. This island can tailor special experiences for them. For example, Mr. Xiao, he has a lot of money."
The audience laughed and Lao Xiao stared at me.
"Mr. Xiao has a lot of money, and he wants to experience something more advanced and exciting. This island can let him become the virtual owner of a planet in the Milky Way. He will take off from this side of the lake by helicopter, carrying the planet's Minister of Commerce, Minister of Interstellar Relations, the owner's wife, and so on, circle the lake several times, and then land on the island.
At the airport, female employees held small flags and lined up to shout a warm welcome. Mr. Xiao, standing at the cabin door, said, "Yamos, Uronytes, Gnono, Haliakes." This phrase, in the language of the planet assigned to him by the island, means, "I am very happy to have arrived at Daughter Island." Then someone presented flowers, and the island owner personally greeted him, and so on. This was also a sight for tourists to watch.
The audience burst into laughter. They asked me to read the Planet Language again, and I said, "I just made it up. You can make it up when the time comes. It's okay if people can't understand it."
Some male employees were laughing so hard that they were hugging each other's shoulders.
"We've erected a massive electronic screen in front of the Visitor Center on this side of the lake, live-broadcasting the relevant events. As this is just a preliminary concept, I'm keeping the details confidential for now. If it's implemented, I can guarantee it will provide visitors with an experience they can't even imagine.
I have finished sharing my thoughts. I have some more to share, and I will discuss them with you in detail after Mr. Chen makes the final decision. Thank you.”
Perhaps it was the first time that they heard such a novel, bold and extraordinary idea. Everyone stood up and applauded loudly and for a long time.
President Cao walked onto the stage and said, "To describe my feelings in four words: extremely excited. To describe my shame in one sentence: this PhD has been wasted. Now, let us once again express our heartfelt gratitude to Professor Wan Shanhong for her lecture with warm applause."
There was a prolonged applause.
"Let us give a warm round of applause to Mr. Chen Yousheng, Chairman and General Manager of the Group, for his summary."
Mr. Chen stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked up to the podium with calm steps.
As you all know, I attended a CEO training program in Beijing from July to September. Today, I want to be honest: if I had known Professor Wan Shanhong earlier, I wouldn't have wasted my 500,000 yuan. This class is easy to understand, grounded in practical knowledge, and both theoretical and practical. Crucially, it doesn't repeat what others have taught. It's leading the new tourism industry of this era.
Beautiful designs require strong execution. Therefore, I hereby announce that General Manager Cao will be in charge of the development of the Taiyi Scenic Area. In addition to Xiao Yipeng, Wan Shanhong will be promoted to Vice President, fully committed to promoting the development of the entire scenic area.
Act immediately and work overtime. At the same time, this is Teacher Wan Shanhong's idea and is not allowed to be spread outside."
After the meeting, Mr. Chen convened a small meeting to divvy up the work. He said, "When we signed the contract, the Bai Niao Reservoir was also included, so there's no expropriation involved. The island is uninhabited, has no mountains, and the terrain is flat, making it easy to build. We don't have to rely on other companies for this design. Mr. Wan has already outlined the grand vision. We'll design it ourselves. If we're short on resources, we can hire experts from other companies."
Of course, as Vice President of the project, Mr. Wan can't be the hands-on, just focusing on cultural creativity. Secondly, he's the cultural consultant for the entire group and will have to travel with me to many places. Mr. Cao, Mr. Xiao, the specific work falls entirely on you. Please express your opinions."
Mr. Cao said, "I didn't have confidence before, but now I have a plan in mind. I hope you can trust me to turn Teacher Wan's plan into reality. At the same time, let me make it clear here, Teacher Wan, I am an intellectual. I obey you when I am convinced, and I don't obey you when I am not. I obey you. You can rest assured and take care of things."
He bowed slightly, and I bowed slightly too.
Lao Xiao said, "I also need Teacher Wan to review this. Some meaningless projects need to be cut. The focus of future tourists will mainly be on Daughter Island."
I shook my head. "The project needs to be cut, but Taoist culture is eternal. We can look at it once, but the cultural factors need to be emphasized. We'll discuss the details another day."
Mr. Chen dismissed the meeting, then left me alone and said, "Teacher Wan, I want to reward Lao Xiao handsomely. He recommended the right person. Real estate is declining, and tourism needs creativity. I understand your idea just now. It's about tourists watching tourists. That's great. Get ready. We'll fly to Xiamen the day after tomorrow, and we'll go out and relax."
What does Mr. Chen want to do to relax?
If he doesn't tell me, I won't ask. Well, I haven't been to Xiamen yet.
