Chapter 888 Construction Progress!
Chen Anrong nodded, then said with a hint of worry, "Won't our project overlap with Su Chen's?"
"Didn't Su Chen say before that we should try not to research things that both parties already have, because the experience will be terrible?"
Wang Jianfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Su Chen did say that, but some infrastructure is still necessary, and we must build it well."
"If we're talking about competition between us, then if more people like our facilities, Su Chen's will automatically dismantle them."
Do you understand this?
Chen Anrong scratched her head, understanding what she meant.
He coughed and said with a smile, "Isn't this competing with Su Chen? What if Su Chen finds out?"
Wang Jianfeng rolled his eyes and said calmly, "Don't worry, Su Chen isn't that petty."
"Besides, since we're in the tourism business, we're bound to compete with each other. What we need to do is try to keep tourists here."
"We're the first stop here too. If we can't keep our guests here, we'll be the ones who lose face in the end."
"As for Su Chen's side, it's the same. If they want to keep guests, it depends on their own abilities."
Chen Anrong didn't expect Wang Jianfeng to have so many ideas, but he thought what Wang Jianfeng said made a lot of sense.
After thinking about it for a while, he felt that he should still communicate with Su Chen about this matter and listen to Su Chen's thoughts.
Wang Jianfeng waved his hand, looking slightly impatient, and said, "You should talk to Su Chen about this. I believe Su Chen will understand, and he will be very supportive of us."
“You don’t understand Su Chen. Su Chen would never have any interest in this matter.”
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Chen Anrong contacted Su Chen and told him about the matter.
Just as Wang Jianfeng had said, Su Chen didn't care about this matter at all. He told them to do whatever they wanted and not to think about themselves; everyone should just rely on their own abilities.
Seeing Su Chen's magnanimity, Chen Anrong couldn't help but secretly give him a thumbs up. As expected of Su Chen, he is indeed extraordinary.
His vision and his thinking are truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Next, Chen Anrong and her team embarked on a series of tasks, starting the construction of a tourist attraction.
Earth 2 was already very large, and its climate was similar to Earth's.
So there are many things they can do. The same goes for Su Chen's side. If an entire planet becomes a tourist destination, then naturally there won't be any major problems.
First of all, there's no need to worry about the area; you can do whatever you want.
Even if this project doesn't make money, it won't interfere with anything for them.
Because they have plenty of land, they could bring in all the entertainment facilities on Earth.
However, they wanted to create a high-end tourism project, so they didn't use many of the usual entertainment facilities.
Even for some common entertainment facilities, they need some high-end items.
For example, the simplest things like Ferris wheels and bungee jumping.
They all want to use the best.
One expert even had the bizarre idea of whether it would be possible for people to jump in space.
After this idea was proposed, everyone was quite interested.
However, after research, it was found that while the proposal was ingenious, it would be difficult to implement.
Because they cannot set a launch point outside the planet.
Moreover, the risk of letting a person wander in space on a rope is extremely high, so they abandoned this form of entertainment.
However, they also researched other forms of entertainment, including some that involved entertainment in space.
They built several luxurious interstellar warships that could take tourists on tours throughout the universe.
They even built some small spacecraft.
These space capsules can launch people into space, allowing them to experience the wonders of the universe firsthand.
Both sides are working hard to develop their own tourist attractions, and they are not idle either, thinking about how to make their own profits.
They belong to the ticket office.
They felt they could make something out of this.
If you want to get to Earth 2, you definitely have to go through them.
They could build some high-end tourist attractions in this area to attract a portion of the visitors.
Of course, they were also very clear that with their strength and current situation, they were simply no match for Su Chen and his group.
Because their place is a cosmic tourist attraction, while their place is still considered a tourist attraction on Earth.
No matter how well you build it, people will still prefer to go to another place to see it.
Even if there's nothing left in that place, this curiosity will still drive people to go there.
The news spread quickly.
The whole world knows about this news.
Everyone was very excited and happy about this.
Many people have long wondered if they could visit the universe themselves, or even live in it.
Now, this wish has appeared before them.
As long as they have money, they can go to the universe and live there.
This was a dream for them, and now that dream is about to come true, or has already come true.
Everyone online is talking about this.
"Really? I don't know if we'll even have a chance to go."
"Where are you going? Don't you know your own limitations?"
"A plane ticket probably costs several million. Do you have that kind of money?"
"How could it be so expensive?"
"Don't worry, it definitely won't be cheap. It will cost at least tens of thousands and at most over a million. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us ordinary people."
The most pressing question for everyone is the ticket price: how much does an interstellar tour actually cost?
Ordinary people feel they have little chance, because they know the ticket price would be outrageous, let alone the opportunity to do anything else there.
Everyone is waiting for official news.
Su Chen and Wang Jianfeng's construction is basically complete, and they are preparing for their first promotional event.
They also understood what everyone was concerned about, so they held a video conference.
The main topic of the meeting was discussing the price.
This price includes not only the ticket price, but also the prices of things to do, food, and accommodation once you're inside.
Everyone agrees that the price shouldn't be too high, otherwise many people won't be able to afford it.
They don't just want to make money; they want to let people know about the universe and see it.
Su Chen, in particular, didn't want to design this tourism project as a tour for the wealthy. He preferred a more accessible form of tourism, so he wanted the price to be as low as possible.
They have enough resources, both in terms of goods and materials, so there's no need to raise prices.
Just use the prices from a typical tourist city.
Wang Jianfeng's lips twitched slightly, still somewhat reluctant.
However, he still followed Su Chen's advice and said with a frown, "The prices inside are the same as in ordinary cities, which I think is fine, but we must raise the ticket price."
"Because the higher-ups also want a share of the profits, if the ticket price is set too low, we won't make any money."
Su Chen didn't say anything, but instead asked him what kind of price he wanted to set.
Wang Jianfeng held up one finger.
This one finger represents many possibilities; it could be ten million, one million, or ten thousand.
Su Chen smiled and deliberately asked, "You mean one hundred yuan?"
As soon as he said that, everyone stared wide-eyed at him with disbelief.
Everyone knew Su Chen was joking, but through his joke, everyone understood very well that Su Chen didn't want to set the ticket price too high.
Wang Jianfeng shook his head firmly and said through gritted teeth, "I think we should price it at ten million."
When the ten million was mentioned, not only was Su Chen somewhat surprised, but several people, including Qie Liu, were also very taken aback.
Because ten million is just too much.
They couldn't understand how Wang Jianfeng came up with that idea.
Wang Jianfeng revealed a wicked smile and said very calmly, "We can organize a first-time travel experience and let those rich people come and visit, to experience this luxury tour."
"In the future, we can gradually lower the ticket price. What do you think of this idea?"
Everyone expressed their opinions. Some people disagreed with Wang Jianfeng's idea, feeling that if the ticket price was set so high, it would definitely cause a huge public outcry and lead to a boycott. Even if the ticket price was lowered, probably no one would want to come again.
Some people think Wang Jianfeng's idea is good; they can indeed make money off the rich first.
For the wealthy, ten million might be a drop in the ocean.
Finally, everyone's attention fell on Su Chen.
Su Chen carefully considered Wang Jianfeng's suggestion and thought it was a good one. However, in order to avoid any negative consequences, he suggested that a test be announced to the world.
This test will cost money; the ticket price is ten million.
Apart from the ticket price, no other tour fees are required.
Since it's a test, the impact will be minimized, and everyone can understand that.
Most importantly, they can also learn from the opinions of first-time participants and promptly address any shortcomings in the tourism offerings.
Once the group is finalized, a detailed plan is needed.
A large part of this plan is to reduce the impact of public opinion.
This is very important.
This incident should not be allowed to negatively impact the entire tourism project, nor should it be allowed to provoke a boycott from others.
As for how exactly to do it and what the details are, that will be handled by Wang Jianfeng.
Since it was Wang Jianfeng's suggestion, why not?
Wang Jianfeng and Chen Anrong held another meeting to develop a detailed plan.
Soon after, they announced the testing activity to the public.
The event still drew criticism from netizens.
People felt that this kind of travel wasn't designed for them at all, but only for the rich.
Many people were swearing and cursing.
Although the authorities have offered various explanations, the public is not buying it.
Things escalated further, becoming worse than Wang Jianfeng had imagined.
They immediately activated their contingency plan, which involved informing the public that the final ticket prices would be announced after their testing was completed.
At the same time, Wang Jianfeng assured everyone that the ticket price would be affordable for everyone, not exorbitant, and that everyone could enjoy it.
That's what they say, but everyone knows perfectly well that it's simply impossible.
If a ticket costs 100 yuan, then many people on Earth would probably come.
How will they cope with so many people? So the ticket price will likely not be low.
This is a common understanding in society, and major media outlets and experts are also discussing this matter.
The expert's analysis was very logical and sounded very reasonable.
Wang Jianfeng was still quite nervous at this moment because their test ticket prices had already been released.
On the first day after the test ticket price was announced, no one actually bought it.
This made him a little anxious. What if no one was willing to pay such a high price for a ticket?
You'll be the one who loses face then, and you'll become a laughing stock.
Two days have passed, and still no one has booked a ticket.
Wang Jianfeng felt uneasy, so he called Chen Anrong into his office to inquire about the situation.
Chen Anrong was also at a loss; he hadn't expected to encounter such a situation.
This amount of money is nothing to those wealthy people, so why don't they take the bait?
Do they think the price is too high?
But is this their first time traveling to another planet? Aren't they even a little curious, or want to try it out?
"Let's wait another day. If there's still no movement today, then we'll have to think of something else," Wang Jianfeng said with a wry smile.
Chen Anrong nodded; that was the only way.
Finally, someone booked a ticket in the evening.
After the first person booked a ticket, others seemed to have received the news and, fearing they wouldn't be able to get one, began booking tickets one after another.
There aren't many spots available this time; there are only one hundred people in total.
Tickets for all one hundred people were sold out very quickly.
Wang Jianfeng and Chen Anrong finally felt relieved. They smiled at each other and had a good night's sleep.
The next day, they began preparations to welcome them.
These one hundred people need to communicate with the higher-ups before heading to Earth 2.
A luxurious interstellar warship was arranged on board, and the people were then transported to Earth 2.
Subsequently, Chen Anrong personally led the group on a tour of Earth 2, introducing various parts of Earth 2.
While some classified facilities on Earth 2 are off-limits to visitors, many other areas are open to the public.
For example, there are weapon depots where they can use firearms and try out the most advanced firearms.
There's also an interstellar observation room, which everyone can visit and use the equipment to observe the distant universe. (End of Chapter)
