It is agreed that the 18th line will be top-notch?

Pre-sale...

A wave of pre-sales directly recovered a whole year's worth of boat ticket money? !

This is at least 15 billion in cash directly deposited into the company’s account!

And this is just "at least". You should know that there are many paid items on the ship that can be booked in advance, such as roller coasters, racing cars, and various specialty restaurants... Many tourists will also pay for these items in advance when they book their boat tickets!
The Kuiguang Group does not need to provide them with services immediately, so there is no way to provide them with food now.

Yang Ruoqian took two deep breaths, trying hard not to faint, and asked, "Why did you open the reservation for the next year's ferry tickets so quickly? The tickets sold out so quickly, and many people didn't have time to react. Isn't that a bad sign?"

Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Boss Yang, I'm really sorry... Because there are so few similar reference projects, our operations department used the domestic cruise sales data of a famous foreign cruise company for comparison."

“Generally speaking, there are still tickets available even a week before sailing.”

"We had made a relatively... bold guess that our sales would be more than three times theirs, but the sales still exceeded our expectations."

Yang Ruoqian listened to the secretary's words and rubbed his forehead feeling tired.

It seems that the employees did nothing wrong, so there is no way to criticize them.

Forced refunds and ticket cancellations don’t seem to be a good idea either. Many tourists are not interested in the ticket price, but the unprecedented sea experience.

Even if they want to refund the tickets and pay compensation, I don’t think the passengers who bought the tickets will agree to it…

Do I have to make this money?

Yang Ruoqian was so angry that his teeth itched, and ordered: "Don't worry about these things for now, we need to adjust the subsequent ticket sales strategy!"

Qi Mu nodded and asked, "Mr. Yang, how do you plan to adjust it?"

"First, slow down the frequency of pre-sales, and don't let the ship tickets sell out until four months later." Yang Ruoqian first shortened the pre-sale period - it was impossible to sell ship tickets on the same day the flight was scheduled, so they had to be pre-sold.

This money has to be earned in advance even if you don’t want to.

However, there is still a big difference between earning a year's money in advance and earning four months' money in advance.

Yang Ruoqian thought for a moment and added, "Before releasing the tickets, we must make sure to publicize them thoroughly so that everyone who wants to buy tickets knows that the tickets are about to be released."

"Okay Mr. Yang."

After Qi Mu finished asking all the questions, he turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly he seemed to remember something important, so he stopped and asked, "Boss Yang, the zoo will be open in a few days. Do you have any special instructions?"

Although she couldn't think of what might happen in the zoo for the time being, it wouldn't be a mistake to ask now.

Maybe Mr. Yang could think of the problem that she couldn’t think of?

Yang Ruoqian felt that what the secretary said made sense, but he really didn't know what else to improve, so he thought about it and asked, "Has the zoo changed a lot since I went there last time?"

When the animals were sent to the zoo, Mr. Yang also visited the zoo and gave the new director a good lesson, allowing him to re-understand what the Kuiguang Group is.

If little has changed, the past will be meaningless.

Qi Mu did not hesitate this time and answered directly: "Boss Yang, the changes are quite big."

"Okay, then I'll go over and take another look." Yang Ruoqian stood up, "Please help me arrange the itinerary now."

The pre-sale of the cruise brought back nearly 20 billion yuan in annual ticket cash flow, completely disrupting Mr. Yang’s previous plans.

The movie was a huge box office success both at home and abroad, and the huge investment costs of the cruise ship were quickly recovered. Both of these huge investments ended in semi-failure.

The last zoo left is the most important project of this quarter, enough to decide life and death, no doubt about it.

"I'll help you arrange it right away."

……

Dozens of minutes later, Yang Ruoqian arrived outside the zoo, which had been renovated.

The ticket office, parking lot, exterior decoration and the entrance for private cars to the zoo are all ready. Now it seems that everything is ready, just waiting for the opening day.

"Boss Yang, come this way!" The headmaster had been waiting outside the door long ago, ready to greet Yang Ruoqian. "It's hot, please come up first."

When he was building the zoo, he was already very sure and certain that this was his dream job and his dream zoo.

You can't lose this job because of some weird reasons.

If you do not enter the zoo through the entrance, you can enter the general park directly through the main gate.

Ordinary private cars are not allowed to enter the park, but there are special electric Ferris wheels in the park. The director knows that the weather is hot now, so he specially customized a Ferris wheel equipped with a small air conditioner to entertain Mr. Yang, so as to make sure he does not feel uncomfortable at all.

Yang Ruoqian was very happy after getting on this modified golf cart and asked, "Are all the Ferris wheels like this in the park?"

He still remembered that when he was a child, he would go to such places to play during the summer vacation. He would move around under the scorching sun, holding an umbrella that was better than nothing.

If you see a water mist sprayer used for cooling, be sure to go over and take a sip.

At that time, I couldn’t tell you how envious I was when I saw the golf carts without air conditioning driving past me.

Now Yang Ruoqian runs his own zoo and his own amusement park. He can travel comfortably in an air-conditioned car, which has made up for some of his childhood regrets.

The director was stunned when he heard the question: "Mr. Yang... not all tour buses are equipped with air conditioners. In order to control costs, most tour buses are ordinary tour buses."

The few luxury tour buses are used to receive VIPs.

"How can this be possible?" Mr. Yang suddenly felt that he had made the right decision to come to the zoo. "Our Kuiguang Group is committed to providing tourists with the best experience. It is really inhumane for them to watch crocodiles baring their teeth in the hot summer. So, you can replace all the tour buses with the ones I'm riding now. If the budget is not enough, just ask the company headquarters for more."

"Remember, don't save money that you don't need to save."

The headmaster nodded blankly, then hesitated and said, "But, but..."

"No buts, you know animals better than me, but I know tourists better than you." Yang Ruoqian waved his hand, "Let's go, take me to see how the zoo is being built now."

"Okay... I'll show you around the main park first."

The director was already familiar with the routes in the zoo and quickly took Yang Ruoqian around the entire zoo.

This includes the aquarium, performance venues and even restaurants within the zoo.

After walking around, Yang Ruoqian frowned slightly.

He originally thought that there would be many trolley problems similar to the one just now in the zoo, but after a round of inspection, he found that there seemed to be not much room for improvement.

The construction of the entire zoo basically met the several special requirements raised by Yang Ruoqian at the time.

For example, the performance venue is divided into three areas as required: one area is the performance area, one area is the animal viewing area, and the last area is the viewing area open to tourists.

The fact that tourists and animals can watch human performances together is something that sounds very abstract, but they are also well executed. Needless to say, other tasks are naturally beyond description. The animals that should be there are there, and the animals that shouldn’t be there are also there…

There are even facilities built specifically to protect certain endangered animals, where the benefits clearly fall short of the costs.

As for the area at the zoo, there is nothing interesting to see. No matter how it is designed, it cannot be used in a fancy way.

I have done everything, but why do I feel like something is missing?

“Is there no room for optimization?”

Now that the Kuiguang Group is growing bigger and bigger, there are not many projects left for Yang Ruoqian, and every large project is a scarce resource.

If you don’t optimize today, there will be nothing to optimize tomorrow.

Looking at the boss's expression, the headmaster was a little nervous. He asked hesitantly, "Boss Yang, what do you think? Are you not satisfied with anything?"

Yang Ruoqian said, "It looks like everything is fine now... Well, I remember I mentioned an idea to you before, which is the different routes of the night safari adventure activities. Have you arranged it?"

How could the director forget such an important thing? He nodded and said, "All the equipment has been purchased. You can check it at any time."

Yang Ruoqian said, "Take me to see it."

Soon, the Ferris car arrived near a garage.

There were several brand new, specially made vans parked inside.

Under the guidance of the director, Yang Ruoqian walked up curiously.

The front section of the van was half-open, with a roof and a metal fence that looked shaky but was actually very sturdy.

The second half is a room with a bathroom, a simple restaurant and a mini bar. It can accommodate at least ten people at a time. The room also allows you to see the scenery outside through the reinforced windows.

At the front of the vehicle, there are several infrared thermal imagers, which allow tourists to see how many dangers are lurking around them in the pitch-black environment.

"The design is very good... It's hard to imagine anything just by imagination."

Yang Ruoqian opened the bar and grabbed a cold drink while rapidly thinking of a strategy in his mind.

"How about this." Yang Ruoqian suddenly had an idea. "I'll come to your place again in the evening. You can take me on a night safari route and let me experience it completely without missing anything."

"Regarding overtime... I'll make an exception for this one time and give you 10 times the compensation, okay?"

The headmaster waved his hand quickly and said, "Boss Yang, why do you need overtime pay for such a small matter? You can come anytime. We are on call 24 hours a day!"

I'm so lucky to have this job, why would I want overtime pay?

Working for a big boss, overtime pay is too unreasonable.

If employees feel they are being exploited and work overtime late at night, they will definitely want some overtime pay.

But now, all the employees of Kuiguang Group have a twisted mentality - when can they give Mr. Yang overtime for free?
It always feels a bit hot to receive this salary without working overtime.

Especially the director, although he doesn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, he also knows the achievements of Kuiguang Group in the international arena.

He was convinced that the zoo was built so luxuriously because the company made a lot of money overseas and had sufficient financial support.

It’s not that his ideas and creativity as the director are so good.

With this mentality at work, the head teacher would of course volunteer to work overtime.

"That won't work." Yang Ruoqian refused. "Only one crew member and necessary backup personnel will be left. No one else is allowed to work overtime. That's it. See you tonight."

After saying that, Yang Ruoqian got out of the car and rushed back home as quickly as possible.

Just now, he thought of a great plan that would definitely have an impact on the zoo.

That is “setting rules”.

As long as more rules are set for zoos, tourists' annoyance with zoos can be greatly reduced.

Just like the thing that gamers hate the most is the planners teaching them how to play the game.

I believe tourists would also hate it if the zoo taught them how to visit animals?
Now go home and combine what you just saw and what happened to you last night to make up a bunch of bullshit Zoo Rules for all visitors.

By the way, we will also compile a set of "Zoo Rules for Employees" for the employees.

Once this set of rules is issued, I think passengers will be very dissatisfied!
"What are you doing?" Chang Zhiqing, who had changed into loose, thin pajamas, walked out of the kitchen in slippers, holding two glasses of watermelon juice. "The movie box office and boat tickets are selling very well, right? Are you still worried?"

It’s because it’s selling so well that I’m worried, okay…

Yang Ruoqian complained in his heart and responded, "About the zoo... our zoo has a night tour. I plan to go and see it tonight to avoid any accidents."

After saying that, Yang Ruoqian thought for a moment and asked again, "How about we go together?"

Chang Zhiqing swayed the watermelon juice in her hand twice. She was silent for two or three seconds and said, "Dating in the zoo at night, you are quite creative."

"Are you going or not?" Yang Ruoqian took the watermelon juice, smiled and shrugged.

"I'll go, of course." Chang Zhiqing glared at him, "And let me see how dangerous the zoo is at night. Will it be pitch black all around? Will I find animals everywhere when I scan with night vision goggles?"

“It sounds exciting…”

"..."

The two chatted while eating, and after setting the alarm clock, they took a short rest for a few hours.

ding ding ding...

The alarm clock rang, and they both got up at the same time, changed their clothes simply, and got in the car.

Since he couldn't find any excuse, Yang Ruoqian drove the car himself this time and did not let Chang Zhiqing serve as a part-time driver.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the zoo parking lot, which was already dark.

Unlike the daytime atmosphere that highlights family travel and family happiness, at night the zoo's neon signs flicker, with many words completely dimmed, giving it the appearance of a long-ruined and abandoned park.

It seems that as long as you take a step inside, you will encounter all the terrible things that you would encounter in a horror movie.

Chang Zhiqing carefully pushed the door and got out of the car, lowering her voice a little: "I suddenly feel a little nervous..."
