Chapter 22 Staff in Place
During the two days of closure, Chi Yizheng hired a ticket seller, three security guards to maintain order, a guide, and a cleaner.
Although the park is still very small and can basically rely on signboards and broadcasts instead of guides, ever since a grandfather who claimed that his eyesight was restored after fighting monsters in the park became famous, Chi Yizhen found that there were more elderly people among the park's tourists. Some of the elderly people, although they can move freely, are illiterate, and some are hard of hearing. After entering the park, they often have to ask tourists questions, which affects the tourists' experience. Some elderly people have poor heart conditions. As soon as they enter the park, the game system will issue a warning, reminding them that such people may be frightened by monsters. Chi Yizhen spent a lot of time just to persuade these elderly people not to buy tickets to enter the park, so ticket sellers and sightseeing guides are necessary.
In the past, Chi Yizheng used points to clean the park with one click, which was efficient and saved money. However, this could only be done after the park closed. With the increase in the number of tourists, there were always some people with poor quality who liked to litter. If he made the garbage disappear with one click in broad daylight, it might attract the attention of tourists. The park was still in the development stage, so Chi Yizheng thought it was better to keep a low profile, so it was necessary to find a cleaner.
With these six employees, Chi Yizheng's workload can be greatly reduced, and he can just leave these trivial matters to the employees.
The new employees are all young people in their twenties and thirties, full of energy and enthusiasm, which is very consistent with the temperament of the park. In addition, in order to free up more personal time, Chi Yizheng contacted Xiaodai Mengmeng and asked her if she would like to be the park's online promoter. He planned to hand over the park's official account to her. He still has a very good impression of Xiaodai Mengmeng, and it was Xiaodai Mengmeng who brought the park its first online exposure.
Xiaodai Mengmeng's real name is Meng Xiaodai. Meng is also a common surname in Jinan City. You can tell she is a local by hearing this surname. Meng Xiaodai originally worked as a clerk in a small local private company. Being a food anchor was just a side job. It was not easy to find a job in a third-tier small city, and the salary was very low. She worked for 4,000 yuan a month without social security and without weekends off. Her boss felt that he was doing her a great favor and that he was the one who supported her, Meng Xiaodai. Meng Xiaodai had been very unhappy at her job for a long time. She had been struggling at her post because it was difficult to find a job. When she heard the director propose a nine-to-five job + 6,000 yuan + five insurances and one fund + salary increase every six months + meal and car allowances + weekends off, Meng Xiaodai packed her bags and rushed to the park without stopping. She shook the director's hand and said excitedly: "Boss, from now on the park is my home!"
Chi Yizhen pulled his hand back without thinking: "That won't do, this is my home."
Meng Xiaodai: ...
Thanks to the three million yuan in compensation, Chi Yizhen was now very well-off and didn't mind treating his employees well, paying them a salary significantly higher than similar jobs in the city. The employees were very enthusiastic after they took their positions. That evening, when he took his employees out for dinner, Chen Hui, the girl in charge of guiding them, asked, "Director, didn't the park hire a landscape designer?"
Chi Yizheng: "How do you know?" He thought to himself, no way, is it so obvious that Paradise is poor?
Chen Hui didn't think the park was poor. It was rare for her to find such a well-paid job, and she was worried about not making it past the probation period. Ever since her successful interview, she'd been racking her brains to think about how to contribute to the park. She said, "I think our park is going strong and will definitely grow bigger in the future."
Chi Yi really liked what he heard, and nodded with a smile. Then Chen Hui continued, "I'm not a landscape design major, so I don't know much about it. But I know that the more famous theme parks on the market have a daily visitor flow of over tens of thousands during peak hours, and some have a daily visitor flow of 70,000 or 80,000. But I see that the roads in the theme parks are relatively small. If there are too many tourists in the future, it might cause stampedes..."
After hearing Chen Hui's words, Chi Yizheng was shocked. Yes, why didn't he think of this before?
The predecessor of Fantasy Park was a very small children's park. When my grandmother ran it, the daily visitor flow was only two to three hundred people. The roads in the park were indeed very narrow. After Chi Yizheng was hit by the game system by accident, although the roads were widened during the renovation process, it was definitely not enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.
If we don’t make plans now, where will we find room for renovations in the future?
Of course, the Fantasy Park is not an ordinary park. When it is upgraded in the future, the buildings should be able to be moved back during the renovation, but tourists are not blind and will definitely find it.
Although Chi Yizhen has a precognition skill through the character card, after reaching the fourth level, he can only predict the future for one day. What will happen in the distant future? How will tourists accept it? It remains to be seen.
With the mindset of "less is more" and future-proofing, Chi Yizhen decided to hire a landscape designer. Even if Chen Hui hadn't mentioned it today, the money would have to be spent eventually. With the expansion of the park, Chi Yizhen had already realized his skills in landscape architecture were insufficient. Previously, because he had little money, he'd thought of delaying it as long as possible, but now he couldn't. He nodded and promised Chen Hui a bonus at the end of the month. Chen Hui was visibly delighted, and the atmosphere among the staff had clearly become more harmonious.
Just after making the promise, Chi Yizheng suddenly remembered that, yes, he still needed an accountant.
While the game system does accounting and even helped with communications with the police, a formal accountant is still necessary. Fantasyland still has to file taxes at the end of the year! You can't rely on the online communication of the game system for everything!
Therefore, Chi Yizhen, who originally planned to close the park for only two days, postponed the opening time for another three days. This led to the Weibo post about the delayed opening that made netizens "roll on the ground and cry."
It took a while to recruit a landscape designer, but that night, Chi Yizheng modified his previous design plan, which was to widen the roads of the two new experience parks ten times. In this way, it would be enough to organize some small activities on the park roads in the future.
Employees were asked to report on time three days later. Fantasy Park was closed for the next three days. Passers-by often turned their heads to take a look, but could only see the construction machines and workers going up and down inside.
Three days later, at 8 a.m. on August 3, Fantasy Park opened on time.
Repeat customers from Jinan City came to support early in the morning.
Cao Xiaoliang and Zhang He, along with a few other classmates, rushed forward to line up. He immediately spotted a few classmates who had arrived earlier than him and shouted, "He He! Zhang Minmin! You two are here too!"
He He and Zhang Minmin turned around and saw it was him, their expressions slightly uneasy. Zhang Minmin thought: How could I run into them so early in the morning? Aren't poor students said to sleep until noon?
Cao Xiaoliang squeezed in next to them, laughing triumphantly, feeling a bit like the male protagonist in a slap in the face of a cool novel. "Didn't you say it was fake? Didn't you say you wouldn't come? You two... humph!"
Zhang Minmin didn't say anything, thinking Cao Xiaoliang was really noisy. He He pushed his glasses and said, "It's summer vacation, what's wrong with going out and having some fun?"
“The park is open!”
Cao Xiaoliang's voice was drowned out by the loud voices of passers-by.
The others were no longer in the mood to chat. Zhang He stepped forward and hugged Cao Xiaoliang, saying nervously, "There are so many people here today. We need to hurry and grab a few more rounds of tickets. We were already ranked down in the leaderboard last time!"
When Cao Xiaoliang heard that his ranking had dropped, his expression tightened and he no longer had the intention of embarrassing his classmates.
They lined up to buy tickets and found that the line was moving very quickly. When they walked closer, they found that there was a smart ticket machine next to the ticket office. It was more convenient than other machines and could even recognize the number of tickets purchased and merit points. A ticket seller next to it introduced: "If you don't understand the ticket machine or can't buy a ticket, please come to me."
After five days of suspension, it seems the park has upgraded a lot of features! Cao Xiaoliang thought as he paid.
[Unparalleled War God, this is your eighth ticket purchase. Thank you for your support of the park. Collect ten tickets and receive one free entry.]
The sound from the ticket machine attracted the attention of people around. Cao Xiaoliang puffed out his chest proudly, thinking that they must think my nickname is very domineering.
