Chapter 0248 – Impossible to Pass the Game
During lunch, Director Luo personally came around the haunted house and was very satisfied after seeing the lounge full of tourists.
”Even when you guys are resting, there are so many tourists waiting, it’s really something.”
Luo Dong was very emotional, just a few weeks ago, the House of Horrors was still the coldest place in the park, I never thought that now it would turn into the park’s signboard and life-saver.
”Luo Dong? Why did you come over?” Chen Ge was carrying the rice that Xu Wan had packed back in one hand, while the other hand was holding a pen and taking notes.
”To tell you two good news.” Director Luo looked toward the humble lounge built with a large shed and handed Chen Ge the documents in his hand.
”It’s been a long time since I’ve heard good news.” Chen Ge smiled as he opened the file bag, inside was exactly the rest hall plan he had sketched out, except that underneath the rough drawings, there was a professionally detailed design plan attached, densely written with markups.
”This is?”
”Although the paradise is not as brilliant as before, but this amount of money can still be taken out.” Luo Dong looked in a good mood, “You can take a look at the modified program, and mention anything you need to me again.”
Chen Ge put down the work in his hand, carefully flipped through, he was very satisfied with Luo Dong’s modified program, far stronger than his own layman design, more thoughtful.
”Luo Dong, what is the other good news?” Chen Ge raised his head, a little curious in his heart.
”Starting tomorrow, the online park ticket price will be lowered by sixty dollars, and at the same time, we will launch group tour discounts, as well as share referral discounts.” Director Luo finally made a decision, Virtual Future Paradise brought him too much pressure, lowering the ticket price at this time was both a market strategy and an indirect concession.
”Lower it this much?” Ticket prices had been rising for a few years before the opening of New Century Paradise, and this was the first time they had been lowered.
”It’s better to take the initiative to lower the price now than to be forced to lower the price when the time comes.” Director Luo looked at it thoroughly, “The park ticket price is lowered, your haunted house should also increase in price, after discussing with several other park management, I think a single ticket price of fifty dollars is more reasonable.”
”Would fifty be too expensive?” Chen Ge’s haunted house was inherited from his parents, and the ticket price hadn’t changed for so many years, so it could be considered quite conscientious.
”As long as the quality of your service keeps up, fifty is a most reasonable price, now that the park ticket price has been lowered, many tourists who don’t want to spend money for nothing should be moved, I’m afraid you’ll have your hands full here in the next few days.” Luo Dong is very confident.
”The price has more than doubled, I’m afraid to cause the tourists to rebel, the money can’t be earned, so it’s better to flow in a thin stream.” Chen Ge is treating the horror house as his own home in the operation, now it is not easy to have an upturn, in case the number of tourists decreases, those ghosts and monsters in the horror house will also be unhappy.
”I’ve already thought of everything.” Director Luo took the document from Singer Chen and flipped to the last few pages, it was no longer an architectural design plan, but a whole set of park promotion plans, “The Future Virtual Paradise is about to start large-scale advertisements and promotions, we can only rush ahead of them and utilize this gap to pour our best efforts into a publicity campaign! The main selling points are the low ticket prices and your haunted house!”
”The park and my haunted house are bundled for promotion?”
”Your haunted house is the only thing that can be used as a selling point for New Century Land now.” Luo Dong said a very solid sentence, “If the results are not good, I’m afraid this will be our last promotion.”
Chen Ge instantly felt that he had a heavy task, shouldering the rise and fall of a paradise.
”You shouldn’t have too much pressure, in order to enhance the attractiveness of the haunted house and make more visitors bravely take the first step, I’ll give you another hand.” Director Luo also broke the mold this time, sweeping away the decline, wanting to make a change.
”It’s better for me to design the scenes in the haunted house, it’s not like you guys know anything else off the top of your head.” The house of horrors was Chen Ge’s territory, and there were too many secrets hidden inside, he would never allow others to interfere.
”I don’t know how to design a haunted house, but I know how to mobilize the visitors.” Director Luo seemed to have thought of everything a long time ago, “Earlier, I heard from Old Xu that you used twenty thousand dollars as a bounty when you proposed some kind of fear grading system?”
”There was this thing.” At that time, Chen Ge had no choice, his original intention of proposing the terror scene grading was also for the sake of the tourists, an unprepared newcomer entering a three-star terror scene directly would easily be scared out of his wits.
”Well done, but twenty thousand is a bit small.” Director Luo pointed to the empty space in front of the haunted house, “Tomorrow I will pull up a striking banner here, the first visitor to clear all the scenes of your haunted house will receive a cash reward of two hundred thousand dollars!”
”Two hundred thousand?!” Shame to say, Boss Chen’s own bank card didn’t have a balance of more than fifty thousand until now, “Too much, right? What if someone really passes?”
Director Luo took a step forward and lowered his voice, which was completely different from the image of waving and pointing just now, “That’s why I need you to design a game that’s impossible to pass, I’ll give you the bottom line, if someone passes all the scenarios within a week to take away this two hundred thousand dollars. Then I’ll only pay half of this money, the rest is up to you.”
”Isn’t this making me cheat?” Chen Ge was slightly embarrassed.
”How can you think like that? We’re an amusement park, the reason for our existence is to make the visitors happy, are they happy to learn that the first one to clear the haunted house will be rewarded with two hundred thousand dollars in cash?” Director Luo patiently persuaded Chen Ge.
”Definitely happy, visiting a haunted house and having a bonus to take.”
”Then when they learn that the two hundred thousand dollars was taken by someone else, will they still be happy?”
”The money wasn’t taken by themselves, so they might be a little disappointed.”
”That’s why, in order for all the tourists to be happy, you must design me a game that is impossible to pass.” Director Luo was satisfied with Chen Ge’s attitude, “Little Chen, I know you’re very perceptive, don’t let me down!”
If it was in the past, 200,000 dollars wouldn’t mean anything to Director Luo, but it was different now, Chen Ge had heard Uncle Xu say that Director Luo had mortgaged his house to the bank in order to keep the paradise running.
”Don’t worry, Director Luo. No one can go through the entirety of my haunted house except myself, it’s an impossible game to pass in itself.”
”I’ll leave it to you then, the publicity will officially start tomorrow.” Director Luo looked at the tourists coming and going in front of the haunted house and left with a big stride, as if he was a few years younger.
”It’s really good news all the time, it seems that as long as I help the severe ghosts let go of their obsessions, or after killing the monsters inside the door, my luck will suddenly get much better.”
Chen Ge stood on the steps of the haunted house, he had a similar feeling after killing the mirror ghost before.
