This city simulation game can affect reality.

After confirming with Lao Zhou that he would personally meet with the job applicants, Chen Jun began to prepare for it.

This meeting is crucial and will determine whether a core leader can be recruited for the event center.

But if you break it down, things aren't actually that complicated.

For an applicant of Hu Qian's caliber, what he needs is a "reassurance".

The other party is clearly interested in the position itself, but the major prerequisite for accepting the offer must be that the health and wellness center can be built and operated to the high quality as envisioned.

Instead of a half-finished product that starts strong but ends weakly and is severely compromised.

For professionals at this level, the "hard conditions" such as salary, benefits, and job title are not very attractive.

They often have deeper pursuits, such as the sense of personal value derived from participating in and leading the success of a project.

Therefore, a project with a high ceiling is very important.

This is related to whether a job seeker can have an impressive resume, after all, no one wants to have a record of failed projects in their career.

What Chen Jun needs to do now is to present the project's feasibility, funding guarantees, detailed plans, and long-term vision to the other party in a comprehensive manner, thereby increasing the project's credibility.

This also made the other party clearly realize that this was not a castle in the air designed to scam investment, and that Hita was not an empty shell company that could succeed with just enthusiasm and no preparation.

Chen Jun devised a clear communication plan. He decided to present the information from multiple perspectives to completely dispel the other party's concerns.

I didn't leave the office until after 10 p.m. and return to my residence.

Before going to bed, he opened "City Simulator" as usual and did some simple management of the game.

After briefly reviewing the recent data changes, I opened the "Resident Information" function to examine the composition of the resort's recent visitors.

Recently, tourist activities have mainly focused on the area around the Longgu River.

It's not just the fishermen's huts along the river; perhaps due to long-term accumulation, or perhaps due to the traffic-generating effect of recent online topics, there has been a significant increase in visitor traffic along the Longgu River.

There were noticeably more people camping and resting nearby, which boosted business at various stalls.

Besides the traditionally popular food stalls and fortune tellers, other stalls have gone from being almost deserted to now earning enough daily income to barely keep them afloat.

This phenomenon also confirms a business principle:

For a project, in addition to implementing precise marketing strategies to stimulate specific demands, as the core business continues to expand, various micro-businesses within the internal ecosystem can also be naturally stimulated.

Just like creating a vast forest, initially there are only a few isolated trees, making it difficult to create a significant impact.

However, when the number of trees reaches a certain scale, even some trees that grow in the shade and receive less sunlight can survive in the moist environment created by the forest.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change; the massive basic traffic is enough to cover the operational shortcomings of many individuals, creating a "rising tide lifts all boats" effect.

If precision strikes are not possible, then use overwhelming firepower.

In addition, Chen Jun found that since it is currently the school term and there are no long holidays in the near future, the age structure of tourists during this period is mainly young and middle-aged people, while the proportion of family tourists is relatively small.

Even on weekends, the number of children is not as high as during holidays.

After reviewing all the data, Chen Jun cleaned up the activity center site for a while before finally getting sleepy.

The coming period will be the most critical and challenging time for all projects, and the workload will inevitably increase significantly.

"A tough battle is about to begin," Chen Jun murmured to himself before drifting peacefully off to sleep.

He knew in his heart that as long as he could successfully weather this storm, the resort would completely enter a new stage of development.

I just don't know what challenges await me ahead.

......

The next morning, Chen Jun originally wanted Lao Zhou to arrange for him to personally take that senior talent to the activity center for an on-site inspection, and to explain the subsequent strategic vision and project details clearly, so that the other party could completely dispel any doubts.

After all, there's a saying that goes, "meeting in person builds a bond," and if something is only conveyed indirectly through subordinates, its persuasiveness will be greatly reduced.

However, if it comes from the mouth of the person in charge, the weight and credibility are completely different.

But plans can't keep up with changes. To Chen Jun's surprise, before he could even assign tasks, Lao Zhou rushed into the office: "Young Master Chen, we just received a reply from Ms. Hu Qian. She said there's no need for a meeting to discuss things in detail. She expressed her apologies to us and hopes we... can find someone else."

"Why?" Chen Jun frowned slightly, somewhat surprised and puzzled.

There must be a reason why the other party backed out before we even started talking.

"She made that clear. Another company in the city was also contacting her at the same time, and they offered her generous terms to join them." Old Zhou said with regret.

"But we haven't even started discussing the details yet. You can certainly ask for more compensation. What she's doing is a bit..."

Chen Jun didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear: although job seekers have the right to choose, this unilateral cancellation of communication is really not very ethical in terms of business etiquette.

"Looking back now, it's very likely that the phone call she received earlier was from this company."

Old Zhou seemed to recall some details and added thoughtfully.

It's probably because, after weighing the pros and cons, the other party felt that the project prospects of the resort were uncertain and the risk of implementation was high, while the other side offered a more secure and more attractive position.

Therefore, the other party chose to have their cake and eat it too.

The result is now clear: things are progressing smoothly over there, and Hu Qian has made her own choice.

Of course, this is just Lao Zhou's speculation.

"If that's the case, should we still try to salvage the situation and continue talking to them?" Old Zhou looked at Chen Jun, seeking instructions.

"Since they've made a clear choice, it just means they're not meant to be with Shita. But I'm still very curious about what kind of unattainable conditions that company offered that made her unwilling to even give them a chance to talk."

After a moment's thought, Chen Jun instructed, "Here's what you'll do: go and investigate this matter, but there's no need to take the initiative to negotiate. Although we're short-staffed, we still have some time to spare. At worst, we can clearly increase the attractiveness of our compensation packages through recruitment channels later."

In fact, the salary offered by Chen Jun this time was very competitive, and it also left room for negotiation.

Since the other party is unwilling to continue the discussion, it can only mean that the offer from that company has exceeded the scope of conventional career choices and has reached a point where it is difficult to refuse.

If that's the case, then the resort doesn't need to follow suit.

But Chen Jun's intuition told him that the whole story was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
