During his lunch break, Director Luo personally came to pay Chen Ge a visit. Seeing how full the resting tent was, he was satisfied. “You have so many visitors waiting during lunch—that’s not easy.”

Director Luo sighed. Several weeks ago, the Haunted House had been the most deserted place at the park, but now it was the park’s main feature and saving grace.

“Director Luo? Why are you here?” Chen Ge held the box of rice that Xu Wan had bought for him in one hand, and his other hand used a pen to make his accounts.

“I’m here to tell you two pieces of good news.” Director Luo inspected the rough-looking tents and handed the document he was holding to Chen Ge.

“I’ve not received good news in a long time already.” Chen Ge opened the file. Inside was the resting hall proposal that he had drafted, but underneath the amateur drawing was a detailed blueprint, filled with notes and explanations.

“This is?”

“Even though the park is not as big as it once was, we can still provide this much monetary support.” Director Luo seemed like he was in a good mood. “Take a look at the edited proposal, and if anything needs amending, come to me.”

Chen Ge dropped what he was doing and looked through the blueprint closely. He was very satisfied with the updated blueprint; it was much more detailed and thought-out than the one he had drafted.

“Director Luo, what is the other good news?” Chen Ge raised his head. He was intrigued.

“Starting from tomorrow, the ticket price for park entry will be lowered to 60 RMB, and we’ll start pushing promotions and discounts for those who buy in bulk or groups.” Director Luo had finally made the decision. The futuristic park was giving him too much pressure. Lowering the ticket price was a marketing strategy and, at the same time, taking a step back.

“Lowering so much?” Ever since it opened its door, New Century Park’s ticket price had been rising; this was the first time it would fall.

“Actively lowering it now will be better than being forced to do so later.” Director Luo had an open mind about this. “If the ticket price for the park is falling, then the admission for your Haunted House has to rise. I’ve discussed this with other managers, and we believe 50 per admission sounds about right.”

“50‽ Won’t that be too expensive?” Chen Ge had inherited the Haunted House from his parents, and he had not changed the pricing.

“As long as your quality matches it, 50 is the most reasonable pricing. Now that the park’s ticket price is dropping, those who are unwilling to spend the extra money will be interested, so be prepared for a large crowd in the next few days.” Director Luo was confident.

“But the doubling of the price might cause some of the visitors to leave. There is never going to be enough money to earn, so why not take it slow?” Chen Ge treated the Haunted House as his own home. He had finally seen life return to it, so if the bounce up in ticket price chased people away, he would be greatly saddened.

“I’ve come up with the solution for that as well.” Director Luo took the document from Chen Ge and flipped it to the last few pages. It was not a blueprint but a proposal to promote the amusement park. “The futuristic park will be starting a large promotional period soon, so we must be ahead of them and make use of this opening to invest in a large promotion! The main selling point will be the lower ticket price and your Haunted House!”

“We’re tying the park with my Haunted House for the promotion?”

“Currently, New Century Park’s only selling point is your Haunted House.” Director Luo said something that made him grimace. “If the effect is less than desirable, this will most likely be our last promotion.”
