Chapter 1383 Manager Pei's New Amusement Park Model
The photographer took a look after finishing and nodded with satisfaction.
Yes, the composition was good, and the focus was perfect.
Although it was a shot of their backs, Ma Zong's profile was visible, and that long face was very recognizable. As for Boss Pei, his back was still familiar; longtime fans should be able to recognize him.
But he quickly thought of a problem.
What was Boss Pei doing here at this hour?
The roller coaster didn't open until 9 AM, and Boss Pei arrived at 8 AM, then quickly left.
It was a bit too short of a time to be inspecting the project. At most, he just took a ride.
But logically, shouldn't Boss Pei have already experienced this project? Why would he want to take another ride now?
While he was wondering, he heard cheers coming from the main entrance.
The photographer hurried over and found that people were already being allowed into the roller coaster project.
Many of those queuing at the project entrance had arrived early, before the park even opened, so they were overjoyed to find that the project was opening an hour early.
Of course, some people had taken a number and gone to browse the surrounding shops.
Since this early opening of the roller coaster project was a special situation, Chen Kangtuo very considerately reserved a special lane for these people, sent a notification message on the app, and suspended the rule that numbers would not be held.
These people who arrived early and queued at the project entrance could enter anytime before 10 AM.
Of course, those with earlier numbers would enter first.
The tourists on the scene were all excited. They had only ever heard of amusement parks temporarily closing or postponing openings due to special circumstances, but rarely heard of a reverse delay!
Charge!
Seeing this scene, and combining it with what he had seen before, the photographer suddenly understood.
"Boss Pei must have already experienced this project, that's for sure, no doubt about it."
"So, on the day that the roller coaster project officially opened, Boss Pei made a special trip, took a ride on the roller coaster, and then opened the roller coaster to everyone early. This can only be said to be a sense of ritual, right?"
"Before opening the project to tourists, Boss Pei must first experience it himself?"
"Just like how Boss Pei used to eat Moyu Waimai every day, go to Moyu Internet Cafe, and use the Outu phone?"
"Yes, that must be the explanation!"
"And Boss Pei saw that the tourists on the scene were so enthusiastic, so he specifically asked the staff to open the project early. That's also a kind of kindness!"
"Most bosses wouldn't care about this. Even if the tourists had to queue outside for an extra hour, it was because they voluntarily came early, and they would generally be too lazy to change the rules. But Boss Pei is different; he always puts the user experience first!"
The photographer suddenly understood. Analyzing it this way, this photo was actually of great historical significance!
It was obviously similar to the previous "world-famous paintings"!
For example, in the previous photo "Boss Pei at Moyu Internet Cafe," on one side was Xiao Peng explaining the esports lifestyle hall model of Moyu Internet Cafe, which was well-received, and crowds poured into Moyu Internet Cafe; on the other side was Boss Pei leaving against the tide, leaving only a back view.
Or, for example, in the previous photo "Boss Pei at Moyu Waimai," on one side was Jingzhou TV interviewing Moyu Waimai, and Rui Yuchen was presenting the food box to the reporter; on the other side was Boss Pei silently eating Moyu Waimai, also leaving only a back view.
And the new picture he had just taken: on one side, the roller coaster project was opening early, and a large number of tourists were pouring in to experience it, their faces filled with smiles; on the other side, Boss Pei and Ma Zong were leaving against the crowd, extremely low-key, and no one even noticed that they had been there.
That's right, that's right!
This was Boss Pei's consistent style!
The photographer was immediately excited and posted the photo online with a simple introduction!
...
At the same time, the shops around the roller coaster project were also packed.
Li Shi and Xue Zhebint were sitting in a nearby cafe, drinking coffee.
There were many tourists outside, and this cafe was almost full. Many people would come in to rest after taking a number, so business was extremely good.
Xue Zhebin said with emotion, "Boss Li, you've opened several more stores in this area, right? Looking at it now, these stores are going to make a killing."
Li Shi waved his hand very modestly, "Making a killing is an exaggeration. A small profit, just a small profit."
"Haven't you noticed that the prices in all the shops, including this cafe, are very reasonable?"
Xue Zhebin was stunned for a moment, then realized that it was true.
He hadn't thought about it when he ordered the coffee earlier, but now that he thought about it, wasn't it about the same price as a cafe in an ordinary shopping mall, or in Moyu Internet Cafe?
It was even cheaper than some foreign coffee brands in shopping malls.
Logically speaking, this was an amusement park. Wasn't it natural for things in amusement parks and scenic spots to be more expensive?
After all, this place had a lot of traffic, and there was a saying, "Since you're already here," most people would only feel a little pain if the coffee in the cafe was twice as expensive as in an ordinary store, but they would still consume it.
But according to Boss Li, all the stores in the Horror Hotel were very cheap?
This was a bit magical.
"Even a slight price increase wouldn't have a strong impact on tourists, but it could greatly increase profits. Why maintain the current low price?"
"Small profits but quick turnover doesn't make sense either. The profit is indeed small, but quick turnover is out of the question, because the capacity of each store is limited. When it's always full, it's definitely better to set a higher price."
"And it's not just one store doing this; it's all the stores..."
"Could it be that Boss Pei specifically requested this?"
Xue Zhebin suddenly realized this.
These stores belonged to different investors. It wasn't something Boss Li could do to get all these investors to agree and collectively not raise prices.
Of course, Boss Li could suppress these investors through some means, but it would only be suppression, not genuine conviction. Moreover, Boss Li didn't have the motivation to do so, because Boss Li himself definitely wanted to make more money.
So the only possibility was Boss Pei's request.
Li Shi nodded, "In fact, Boss Pei had already emphasized when the Horror Hotel first opened that all the shops must not raise prices and must follow the normal market price."
"At first, everyone didn't understand, but no one dared to disobey Boss Pei's meaning, so they could only do as they were told."
"But now, with the development of this roller coaster project and the opening of the second batch of shops, I can probably understand Boss Pei's meaning."
Xue Zhebin considered for a moment, "With Boss Pei's intelligence, he must be very clear about the principle of making more money by raising prices in the Horror Hotel. And these stores will give him a share of the profits. On the issue of making money, their interests are actually consistent."
"Then there is only one explanation: Boss Pei wants long-term interests."
"But that doesn't seem to make sense either."
"Because there are only so many shops, and the number of tourists is far greater than the capacity of the shops. Even if the price is lowered, sales cannot be further increased."
"This is an amusement park, not a shopping mall. Tourists can't come every week; coming twice a year is already good. In this case, they won't be very sensitive to the price of the shops. Maintaining flat prices can indeed win a certain reputation, but with the current popularity of the Horror Hotel, what's the use of this little bit of reputation improvement..."
Xue Zhebin couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it.
On the surface, Boss Pei had made a very conscientious and considerate decision for the tourists.
But everyone knew that Boss Pei was a business genius. It wasn't that Boss Pei didn't have a conscience or didn't care about the tourists, but that while Boss Pei cared about the tourists, there must be a mature business logic behind it to support it, so as to achieve a win-win situation for Tenda and its users.
Li Shi nodded slightly, it was obvious that Xue Zhebin was still making progress, and he was seeing the problem more and more clearly now.
But he was obviously still far from understanding Boss Pei.
"Your conclusion is certainly correct, but it's based on two premises: first, there are only so many shops, and the number of tourists is far greater than the capacity of the shops; second, the amusement park is not a shopping mall, and tourists can't come every week."
"For most amusement parks and attractions, these two premises hold true, so most of the shops in amusement parks and attractions are very expensive, whether it's food, drinks, or accommodation."
"But what if these two premises don't hold true here at the Horror Hotel?"
"Think about it, why did Boss Pei build the roller coaster so far away from the original project of the Horror Hotel?"
"And what type of roller coaster is it?"
Xue Zhebin was stunned for a moment; he hadn't really thought deeply about these issues before.
Logically speaking, the projects in an amusement park shouldn't be too far apart, after all, tourists have to walk back and forth between various projects, and if they're too far apart, everyone's experience will become very bad.
But Boss Pei did the opposite on the roller coaster project.
Now, from the results, the roller coaster project is far away, so more shops can be placed around it.
Moreover, there is still a large area of the old industrial zone that is being gradually transformed, and it will probably take ten or eight years to use it all up.
The current shops are only being renovated along the main road from the Horror Hotel to the roller coaster. It can be further expanded in the future.
In other words, as long as the shops continue to expand, then the point that "the number of tourists is far greater than the capacity of the shops" will gradually be overturned.
And this roller coaster project is also very different from other roller coasters.
On the one hand, it's as fun as the indoor roller coasters in many large amusement parks; on the other hand, it can be experienced repeatedly.
In fact, many people can only play the popular projects in large foreign amusement parks once or twice a year, simply because the cost is too high.
If it were convenient, many people wouldn't get tired of playing these fun projects once a month.
What's more, the roller coaster at the Horror Hotel has multiple endings.
Even after experiencing all the endings, you can bring your friends to play together, because it's very interactive, so you'll have some different and novel experiences every time you play.
Then, the point that "the amusement park is not a shopping mall and tourists can't come every week" is also overturned.
Xue Zhebin suddenly understood, "Boss Li, I understand!"
"Boss Pei wants to break the original centralized model of amusement parks and create an open amusement park?"
"Through Tenda's IP and game design thinking, most of the amusement facilities are made into replayable projects, and then a large number of shops are inserted between the projects, and then the same affordable pricing as the shops is used to further attract traffic, creating a new model that integrates amusement parks and commercial streets?"
"In other words, what Boss Pei is pursuing is not immediate interests, but long-term interests, and not even long-term interests within three or five years, but long-term interests after ten years or even longer?"
"This is to forcibly transform a long-abandoned old industrial zone into a collection of amusement parks and business districts!"
