During lunch, Director Luo personally took a walk around the haunted house. When he saw the lounge full of tourists, he was very satisfied.
"Even when you are taking a break, there are so many tourists waiting. It's really not easy."
Mr. Luo was very emotional. Just a few weeks ago, the House of Haunted House was the most deserted place in the park. He did not expect that it would now become the park's signature and life-saving straw.
"Mr. Luo? Why are you here?" Chen Ge was holding the meal that Xu Wan had packed back in one hand, and was taking notes with a pen in the other.
"I have two good news for you." Director Luo looked at the simple lounge built with a shed and handed the documents in his hand to Chen Ge.
"I haven't heard good news for a long time." Chen Ge smiled and opened the file bag. Inside was the lounge plan he had drawn. However, underneath the rough drawing, there was a professional and detailed design plan, which was densely written with annotations.
"This is?"
"Although the park is not as glorious as before, we can still get this amount of funds." Director Luo seemed to be in a good mood: "You can take a look at the revised plan and let me know if you need anything."
Chen Ge put down the work in his hands and looked through it carefully. He was very satisfied with Mr. Luo's revised plan. It was much better than the one designed by himself, a layman, and more thoughtful.
"Mr. Luo, what's the other good news?" Chen Ge raised his head, feeling a little curious.
"Starting tomorrow, the online ticket price for the park will be reduced by 60 yuan. At the same time, we will offer group tour discounts and sharing recommendation discounts." Director Luo finally made a decision. The virtual future park brought too much pressure to him. Lowering the ticket price at this time is both a market strategy and an indirect concession.
"Such a big reduction?" Ticket prices had been rising in the first few years since the opening of New Century Park. This is the first time the prices have been reduced.
"It's better to lower the price now than to be forced to do so later." Director Luo saw things very clearly: "The park's ticket prices have been reduced, so your haunted house should also increase its prices. After discussing with several other park managers, I think a single ticket price of 50 yuan is more reasonable."
"Isn't fifty too expensive?" Chen Ge inherited the haunted house from his parents. The ticket price has not changed over the years, which can be said to be quite conscientious.
"As long as your service quality can keep up, fifty is the most reasonable price. Now that the park's ticket prices have been reduced, many tourists who don't want to waste their money should be tempted. I'm afraid you'll be busy in the next few days." Mr. Luo was very confident.
"The prices have more than doubled. I'm afraid of causing rebellious emotions among tourists. There's no end to making money, so it's better to make it slow and steady." Chen Ge runs the horror house like his own home. Now that it's finally getting better, if the number of tourists decreases, the ghosts in the horror house will be unhappy.
"I've already thought about it." Director Luo took the document from Chen Ge and turned to the last few pages. It was no longer an architectural design plan, but a complete theme park promotion plan: "The future virtual theme park will soon begin large-scale advertising and promotion. We can only get ahead of them and use this gap to do our best to promote it! The main selling points are the low ticket prices and your haunted house!"
"A tie-in promotion between the park and my haunted house?"
"Now New Century Park only has your haunted house as a selling point." Mr. Luo said something very heartbreaking: "If the effect is not good, this may be our last promotion."
Chen Ge suddenly felt that he had a heavy responsibility, shouldering the rise and fall of an entire paradise.
"Don't feel too stressed. In order to enhance the appeal of the haunted house and encourage more tourists to bravely take the first step, I will help you again." Director Luo is determined to make changes this time to wipe out the downturn.
"It's better for me to design the scenes in the haunted house, as you don't understand the other tricks." The horror house is Chen Ge's territory. There are too many secrets hidden in it, and he will never allow others to interfere.
"I don't know how to design a haunted house, but I know how to motivate tourists." Director Luo seemed to have thought of everything. "I heard from Lao Xu before that when you proposed a fear rating system, you used 20,000 yuan as a reward?"
“That’s true.” Chen Ge had no choice at the time. His original intention of proposing the horror scene classification was also for the sake of tourists. An unprepared newcomer who directly entered a three-star horror scene could easily be frightened.
"You're doing great, but 20,000 is a bit stingy." Director Luo pointed to the open space in front of the haunted house and said, "Tomorrow I will put up a conspicuous banner here. The first visitor to clear all the scenes in your haunted house will receive a cash reward of 200,000!"
"Two hundred thousand?!" To his shame, the balance in Boss Chen's bank card has not exceeded fifty thousand. "Isn't that too much? What if someone really gets through?"
Director Luo took a step forward and lowered his voice, which was completely different from the image of him just now, commanding and giving orders: "So I need you to design a game that is impossible to complete. I'll tell you the bottom line. If someone completes all the scenes within a week, they can take the 200,000 yuan. Then I will only pay half of the money, and you can handle the rest yourself."
"Isn't this asking me to cheat?" Chen Ge was a little embarrassed.
"How can you think like that? We are an amusement park. The purpose of our existence is to make tourists happy. Are they happy to know that the first person to clear the haunted house will receive a cash reward of 200,000?" Director Luo patiently persuaded Chen Ge.
"It must be fun, visiting the haunted house and getting bonuses."
"Then when they find out that the two hundred thousand has been taken away by someone else, will they still be happy?"
"If you don't get the money yourself, you might feel a little disappointed."
"So, in order to make all tourists happy, you must design a game for me that is impossible to complete." Director Luo was very satisfied with Chen Ge's attitude: "Xiao Chen, I know you are very insightful, don't let me down!"
If it were in the past, two hundred thousand would not be a big deal for Director Luo, but it was different now. Chen Ge had heard Uncle Xu say that Director Luo mortgaged his house to the bank in order to maintain the operation of the park.
"Don't worry, Mr. Luo. No one can complete my haunted house except me. It is a game that is impossible to complete."
"Then I'll leave it to you. We'll officially start the promotion tomorrow." Director Luo looked at the tourists coming and going at the entrance of the haunted house, and strode away, as if he had become a few years younger.
"There is so much good news. It seems that as long as I help the evil spirits let go of their obsessions or kill the monsters inside the gate, my luck will suddenly get much better."
Chen Ge stood on the steps of the haunted house. He had had a similar feeling after killing the mirror ghost before.
