Chapter 305 Chatting while eating
As soon as Xu Wen said his first step, everyone present was shocked.

"Ah? Group leader, what did you just say? The first step is for me to go to Disney to ask for cooperation?"

All the netizens in the live broadcast room started laughing.

"Is Xu Gou crazy or am I crazy? How did he think of taking this as the first step? Not to mention whether his actions conflict with Boss Yu's original intention, why would Disney cooperate with you!"

"I'm just saying that different trades are like different worlds, right? Xu Gou is a good cook, so I can understand him being a restaurant manager, and he's pretty competent. But being a manager of an amusement park is a bit too much, he's a complete layman."

"Disney's legal department is not kidding you. You want to make money by using the Disney brand? Don't be kidding, unless you can bring them greater benefits."

In fact, Xu Wen’s current suggestion is the same as what many people say when opening franchise stores.

A few years ago, the most popular investment method was to invest in chain stores of big brands, or to directly become a cooperative franchisee of a big brand.

For example, you can cooperate to open a Starbucks coffee shop, or a Silver Arches fast food restaurant.

With the help of the fame of these big brands, you only need to invest money and others will arrange everything else for you.

Including instruments and equipment, personnel training, store decoration and even regional pricing.

It can be said that to become such a franchisee, you only need to pay the money, and the people at the headquarters will help you with other things, so you don’t need to worry about it at all.

This model was indeed profitable more than a decade ago.

After all, at that time these big brands needed to expand the domestic market, and many places in the country did not have these things, so as long as you opened one, the customer flow was basically guaranteed.

But now this kind of cooperative franchise model is no longer popular, and it can even be said to be a scam.

The reason is that there are too many franchisees now. Even with regional protection policies, these franchisees will still see a sharp drop in customer flow, resulting in a large number of customer losses.

Therefore, in the eyes of many netizens who understand business, the first step mentioned by Xu Wen is a stupid move, which is definitely aimed at losing money.

Yu Lang is not a newbie either. He used to be a big shot in the business world.

So at this time he was very confused and felt that Xu Wen's first step was unreliable.

"Group leader, the first step you mentioned is too difficult to implement. Not to mention whether Disney will cooperate with me, even if it is really willing to cooperate with me, there should be no guarantee of customer flow, right?"

Xu Wen seemed to know that Yu Lang would ask this question, so he had already prepared an answer.

"You said before that you were in the shipping business, right?"

"Yes."

Xu Wen smiled and said, "Do you have a cruise ship? The kind that can be used for tourism."

Yu Lang thought for a moment and said, "I'm mainly engaged in cargo transportation, not tourism. But if I want to get a cruise ship, it's still easy. After all, I have connections in this area, and the procedures are also very convenient."

Xu Wen nodded.

"That's right. You can use your connections in shipping to negotiate with Disney. As far as I know, they have always wanted to build a theme cruise park in our country, but they have been unable to complete the formalities, and are looking for partners everywhere."

"If you can help them with the cruise ship issue, I believe they will agree to borrow some of their cartoon elements for your amusement park."

When Xu Wen said this, the netizens in the live broadcast room were stunned. "What the hell, is this true? Disney wants to have a themed cruise ship?"

"It seems that this is indeed the case. I have seen it on the news before, but I have never taken it seriously. However, if I follow Xu Gou's idea and talk to the people from Disney, it might be possible!"

"Why didn't I think of that? Our country is now very strict in reviewing the application documents for cruise ships. Disney has no connections in China, so it will definitely not be able to get it."

"That's bad, is he really a genius?"

Yu Lang is not stupid and he understands it immediately.

Yu Lang immediately slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "Great! This is a good idea. I will arrange for someone to contact Disney right away. Group leader, you are really powerful!"

When doing business, the most important thing is to be well-informed.

It’s like Disney is looking for someone to run a cruise ship, but I guess not many people in China know about it.

Now Xu Wen asked Yu Lang to contact Disney on his own initiative. Isn't this the right medicine for the right disease? Isn't this enough to control them?
Xu Wen continued, "As for the issue of passenger flow, you don't have to worry about it. Think about it carefully. Do we have Disneyland here?"

Yu Lang shook his head.

"No, Disneyland is a big amusement park after all, with castles and other things, how could there be one in every city?"

"Isn't that right?"

Xu Wen analyzed: "Originally, there is no Disneyland in our city, but after you and the other party reached a cooperation agreement, you will become the only amusement park in this city with Disney elements, right?"

"Parents and children don't understand much, they just know that you have Disney elements here, and children like those elements, so customers will naturally come."

The main reason why the customer flow of coffee or fast food restaurant franchises is decreasing year by year is that the competition is too fierce.

In the past, when people talked about coffee, they only knew of Starbucks. They naturally thought that it was the most high-end coffee, and if they wanted to drink coffee, they would drink Starbucks. How face-saving it was.

But now when people talk about coffee, there are so many choices.

There are coffee shops in various countries, as well as many domestic coffee shops. The most important thing is that these coffee shops are not only high-end, but also engage in price wars from time to time to burn money.

Even the Starbucks main store’s business is getting worse and worse, let alone the franchise stores.

But amusement parks are different.

Not everyone can build an amusement park. A city can have at most two or three amusement parks. Moreover, the construction period of a new amusement park is very long. If they want to build one, they have enough time to make a new round of decisions.

So from this point of view, Xu Wen can assure Yu Lang that as long as he can negotiate the Disney elements, there will be absolutely no problem with customer flow.

After Xu Wen's analysis, Yu Lang felt more at ease.

He was about to ask something, but Xu Wen said, "I'm a little hungry. Do you have anything to eat? Let's go eat something first."

Yu Lang understood Xu Wen's words instantly.

"Yes! I've prepared lunch. Let's go, let's eat and talk."
