This city simulation game can affect reality.

At the current rate of student recruitment, at least ten woodcutter huts are needed to ensure the smooth operation of the subsequent teaching plan.

However, there is simply no land available near the bamboo forest.

"Even if classes are held in shifts, it will only provide temporary relief."

Chen Jun slid the camera, pondering a solution in his mind.

There is a reasonably sized open space in the northern area, where the previous Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue challenge was also held.

"Let's just move everything over there, and use this bamboo grove area to house the tea garden. The overall style won't change."

With that in mind, Chen Jun went straight to the blueprints for the woodcutter's hut and placed ten of them on the open ground.

Construction time: 23:59:59

After closing his laptop, he turned his attention to the desktop computer on his desk, taking a quick look at the resort's recent charges.

In less than a month, the Woodcutter's Hut had enrolled 26 students, with each student averaging 280 hours of lessons.

The net profit from registration fees alone reached as high as 65.

Li Qingxin's recent sales revenue has exceeded 2.7 yuan.

In addition, there's the rental income from the resort's original shops and apartments, as well as the initial revenue from Dragon's Backbone.

Revenue may be heading towards three million.

The net profit is estimated to be around two million.

"The financial report this month should look very good."

......

The following evening, Chen Jun and Lao Zhou drove to the restaurant where they had arranged to meet Wang Wang.

"Wang Wang doesn't have any dark history. The fact that he was elected as the president of the agritainment association is enough to show that he has convincing abilities."

The car slowly came to a stop in the open-air parking lot outside the restaurant.

Before getting out of the car, Lao Zhou reminded us, "But we should be wary of being invited to dinner at this time, both in terms of courtesy and reason."

Chen Jun nodded, opened the door and got out of the car: "Whether they are friend or foe, we'll know in a while."

The two stepped into the restaurant and, as agreed with each other, were led by a waiter at the door to a private room at the far end of the corridor.

"Boss Chen."

As soon as I entered, I saw Wang Wang, who was slightly overweight, stand up from his seat and greet me with a smile.

Beside Wang Wang sat two ladies, one of whom was wearing a cheongsam and appeared to be around forty or fifty years old.

The other was wearing a white dress and had a shy smile on her face.

The two people are probably Wang Wang's family members.

After responding to the other party, Chen Jun and Lao Zhou walked to the table and sat down together.

"This is my wife, and this is my daughter," Wang Wang introduced first.

"My uncle," Chen Jun introduced Old Zhou, who was standing next to him, to the other person.

The dinner party of five people seemed like just a gathering of friends.

After the initial pleasantries, it was time to eat and drink.

After a few rounds of drinks, Wang Wang took the initiative to chat about everyday matters and also praised Chen Jun.

They would simply use words like "handsome" and "young and promising" to praise him.

Chen Jun responded very enthusiastically.

Half an hour later, Wang Wang, slightly tipsy and with a flushed face, suddenly said, "If this woodworking workshop can be established, it will definitely become a calling card for our Longding Mountain. Don't you agree, Boss Chen?"

Chen Jun held his wine glass, realizing that they were about to get to today's main topic.

He looked at the other person and said, "Boss Wang certainly has a good business sense; he never drags his feet when it comes to doing things."

Wang Wang smiled, knowing that this was a direct reference to him.

By opening a woodworking workshop at a farmhouse inn, the innkeeper is essentially blatantly competing with the resort for business.

If it were someone with a darker heart, they might have already resorted to underhanded tactics.

"I think if our two families could cooperate, we would definitely make a fortune," Wang Wang said, slightly drunk, without taking the cotton needle from Chen Jun.

"Could you elaborate?"

"To be honest, the reason I'm hosting this dinner is twofold. First, I wanted to pay a visit to Boss Chen and establish a good relationship. Second, I also wanted to take this opportunity to discuss potential collaborations."

Wang Wang took a small sip of his drink: "I've read your promotional materials, and I must say they're very bold. But to be honest, we've used this approach on other projects at our agritourism business before."

The other party didn't say it explicitly, but Chen Jun knew that they were still using the resort as a front for something else.

"What Boss Wang meant by that... I don't understand."

Wang Wang put down his wine glass and looked at Chen Jun: "Then I'll be frank."

"Our two companies can definitely leverage their respective strengths and achieve a win-win cooperation. Your resort can teach basic courses, and once the students have a basic grasp of woodworking, they can then enroll in advanced courses at the agritainment center for professional training."

To put it simply, this is like dividing the cake in two: the resort takes the smaller share, and the farmhouse takes the larger share.

In fact, if the two had different areas of expertise, they could have achieved a win-win situation, but Wang Wang clearly underestimated the resort's capabilities.

Chen Jun was naturally unimpressed by the suggestion: "Boss Wang is joking. You may not be familiar with our teaching process. The resort provides comprehensive and professional services. If needed, I can explain it to you in detail."

Wang Wang waved his hand: "I've watched your live stream. Those kids are indeed quite good, but you also need to know that geniuses make up a very small percentage of the overall student body."

This statement was clearly too arrogant, and Chen Jun did not yield to it: "For us business owners, the return on investment is more important. The existing model of Woodcutter's Hut can guarantee the continuous production of outstanding talents, and I hope your company can have the same confidence."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wang understood and chuckled, "I understand what Boss Chen means. Let's each go our own way then."

Actually, he didn't have high expectations for this dinner party.

If the collaboration is successful, the agritainment business can make a fortune and also build personal connections.

If we don't cooperate, then we can only win by ourselves.

After the business was settled, both sides' enthusiasm clearly waned, but thinking that even if the deal fell through, they could still maintain good relations and didn't immediately break off relations.

Before long, both parties got up and politely parted ways.

Back in the car, Lao Zhou, who hadn't touched a drop of alcohol, sat in the driver's seat and started the engine, saying, "They don't take our project seriously at all; they even think they're giving us a way out."

"Even Sister Sun thinks I'm engaging in false marketing, let alone my competitors." Chen Jun rolled down the car window.

This was probably the first time he had ever socialized and drunk with others since entering the workforce, and he was somewhat unaccustomed to it.

"The main problem is that we've really gone too far with this gimmick, but I'm sure you know what you're doing."

After spending so much time together, Lao Zhou could naturally tell that Chen Jun was not a rash or impulsive person.

......

The end of this dinner means that the competition between the resort and the farmhouse has entered its next round.

Judging from Wang Wang's attitude, he has absolute confidence in Yunhai Woodworking Workshop.

Or perhaps he simply doesn't believe the resort can deliver on its advertised promises.

Once the fifty-day deadline is up, the outcome will be clear.
