"The opening was a blast. A club in our city was packed with people on the opening day."
"Crowded! This club was so crowded on its opening day that a police car was called in to maintain order!"
On that day, almost all major media outlets in Yunhai reported the grand opening of the Medal Club on their front pages.
There is no need to elaborate too much, just posting the photos of the scene is enough to show how crazy the opening of the Medal Club is.
There were huge crowds, police were maintaining order, long queues at various venues, and of course, there were those two giant posters of celebrities.
Finally, the media also introduced the prices of the four types of VIP cards of the Medal Club.
For a time, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet, and all kinds of gossips were popular.
On several local forums in Yunhai, the homepages are almost entirely devoted to discussions about the Medal Club.
"You're crazy. How can a membership card be so expensive?"
"That silver card alone costs 2,699, which is more than my monthly salary."
"Hey, they're selling diamond cards for 18888, they're really brave. I think everyone is a fool."
"I admit that the Medal Club is luxurious and perfect in terms of both its environment and facilities. It is well-deserved luxury even in the northern provinces."
'But I have to say, the club owner must have been kicked in the head by a donkey this time.'
"The club development strategy he designed has completely failed. The VIP cards are so expensive. He really treats customers as fools."
"I can assure you that it won't be long before this club adjusts its strategy, otherwise it won't be able to continue operating."
On the Internet, some self-righteous netizens made loud comments and directly sentenced the club to death.
In newspapers, some experts in related fields also expressed their views in columns.
Experts believe that developing such a luxurious club in Yunhai is obviously a wrong positioning.
Yunhai is not a first-tier city like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, so the consumption level is not that high.
The positioning of the club's four types of VIP cards is a failure among failures. Rich people are not fools, and rich people's money does not come from the wind.
Finally, the experts gave their own predictions. Don’t be fooled by the fact that the Medal Club has just opened and is very popular.
But it won't be long before they run into operational difficulties, as such pricing will simply not attract too many consumers.
If the situation lasts for half a year or even a year, the club will have to change its strategy or simply close down.
Such arguments are rampant in major online forums and print media.
Dingdian and other management in the club naturally saw these discussions, and for a moment they couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
In fact, before the opening, when Chen proposed this pricing strategy, Dingdian and a group of management were strongly opposed.
Almost all of them believed that Chen's pricing strategy was too high and would likely affect the club's future operations.
As a result, Chen 꼎 gave a speech to explain why he did so.
"Everyone, you must first change your mindset."
"That means the current Medal Club is no longer the same club as before."
“Now we are going for the high-end luxury route.”
“In the future, we will not pursue the number of customers we serve, but we will ensure that every customer who comes in is a high-quality member.”
"The prices of the four cards I designed are just a stepping stone to exclude a large number of unqualified people, and then divide the membership levels according to the different VIP cards."
Having said this, Chen smiled at everyone in the conference room.
"I don't know if any of you play online games, that is, online games."
"For online game operators, a real krypton gold recharge boss is worth far more than a thousand ordinary players who don't recharge."
“Ordinary players will not bring any benefits to the operation, but will increase the pressure on the server. However, a recharge player will bring real turnover to the operation.”
The example given by Chen was not quite appropriate, but all the management, including Dingdian, understood it.
Dingdian admitted that she was persuaded by Chen 꼎 at that time.
But today, we see the public opinion on the Internet becoming more and more heated.
She was a little nervous and couldn't help but call Chen 꼎 again to ask whether the prices of the four VIP cards should be adjusted.
"No change!"
On the other end of the phone, Chen Ruo's voice was still calm, as if he was not affected by external public opinion.
Dingdian had no choice but to remind him to pay attention to public opinion on the Internet and in the media.
But Chen 꼎 laughed and said, "Don't worry about those things. Because those who curse are not the target users of our club."
"By the way, yesterday I asked my staff to count the potential users who would purchase the four types of VIP cards. Did they come up with the statistics?"
Dingdian was a little annoyed: "There were too many people yesterday. Most of them just learned about the prices of the four types of VIP membership cards. Only a few said they would consider it when they go back."
"As for those who are willing to meet on the spot, I would only say that very few are willing to meet on the spot."
As if he had heard a hint of anxiety in her words, Chen Rou comforted her with a smile.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"Remember the second strategy I told you about the club the day before we opened?"
He nodded subconsciously: "I remember."
"I originally planned to announce it half a month after opening, but seeing that you are so nervous as the general manager, let's do this. The customer experience period will end today, so you can send the notice in advance."
Ding Dian was stunned. "Today?"
"Yes, today at noon."
After hanging up the phone, Chen 꼎 shook his head and turned into the private room.
"Sorry, it's a call from the club."
Sitting in the room were Su Ruchu and her parents.
That day, Chen had been accompanying the old couple on a tour and stroll in Yunhai, and he had been making Su Xue and his wife smile all the time.
This son-in-law is really a great find.
"Xiao Chen, stop being so busy, sit down and eat something. You must be exhausted from running around with us these past two days."
Lin Wanxiu waved with a smile, and took the bowl to help Chen Rou fill a bowl of chicken soup.
Thinking back to the first time they met, they were also having dinner in a restaurant. Lin Wanxiu said coldly in front of Chen Xiao that some dishes were beyond his ability to afford.
The difference between before and after is really too big.
It was precisely because of this incident that it became a thorn in Lin Wanxiu's heart. She was afraid that Chen Rou would remember it and hold a grudge against her.
So these days, she was so passionate about Chen Rou that she treated him even better than her own son, hoping to make up for the bad influence she had caused.
But Lin Wanxiu was obviously overthinking it.
No matter whether she was good or bad to Chen 꼎 in this life, Chen 꼎 would definitely marry her daughter.
Just because of her daughter Su Ruchu.
