It is agreed that the 18th line will be top-notch?

The group’s employees realized belatedly that what they thought was an hour or two of relaxing entertainment would actually take up at least a day and a half of their time!
If you accidentally succeed in the audition, you won’t be able to work for at least a week.

What's more, it's clearly written in the contract that they can't run away even if they want to. They are tied to this damn place. There are no movies to shoot and no way to work.

Apart from being able to eat on time in the company cafeteria and getting paid as usual, it is not much different from being in prison.

Mr. Yang has always been a bit unethical in matters like this...

At this time, the unsportsmanlike Yang Ruoqian ignored Luo Ruying's frantic look to retain him, and did not look at how this rebellious son pretended to be cool at the audition.

It’s not that he didn’t want to see Luo Ruying’s poor acting, but there were other things to deal with in the company.

There is too much business this quarter and it involves almost every department. The level of each project is so high that no single executive can make a decision alone.

For many things, Mr. Yang has to make the final decision.

For example, a department can have full authority to plan a concert on a cruise ship, but how to connect with the audience on shore after docking is not the responsibility of the relevant department alone, and requires cross-work with other departments.

Although the cruise tickets have not yet gone on sale, the group has received accurate information from various channels - many passengers said that even if they cannot get tickets, they will buy tickets at the port of call.

Last time, Qi Mu said that many travel agencies and relevant personnel in port cities wanted to use the policies and preferential treatment at hand to discuss with the Kuiguang Group about cruise ship docking and route issues.

Now, they have arrived downstairs of the company.

Such an important matter could not be decided by Qi Mu and several other senior executives alone, so Yang Ruoqian had to be invited.

"Now the disadvantage of having too few top decision-makers is apparent." Yang Ruoqian complained, "Many times I couldn't escape even if I wanted to..."

But there is no way. Mr. Yang himself also wants to be a retired fish, but if he does, the people who make decisions for him may not understand and implement his idea of ​​"spending big money to do small things".

Yang Ruoqian also has a principle - even if a project can indeed lose money, he will not do it if it is too disgusting.

For example, Yang Ruoqian would definitely not build a branch in a country that has a very bad reputation, uses every possible means to exploit foreign companies, and even uses policies to force foreign companies that find it difficult to make profits, using a method that is almost half-robbery to keep their funds.

It is natural to lose money when being robbed, but Mr. Yang still stays away from this way of losing money which is both shameful and aiding the enemy.

If a different top decision-maker were to take over, his thinking might not match Yang Ruoqian's.

"Alas, I have to do everything myself."

After sighing, Yang Ruoqian patted his clothes and came to the luxurious reception room.

Inside the reception room, there were a few Asian men wearing suits, but their facial features clearly showed that they were not native Asians.

When they saw Yang Ruoqian coming in, they immediately stood up and said in not very standard but very fluent Chinese: "Good afternoon, Boss Yang!"

They were holding several documents in their hands and were talking to several managers - obviously hoping that these executives would understand how big the preferential policies they were offering were so that they could say a few good words for them in front of Yang Ruoqian later.

As the person in charge of a tourist city, whether it is the publicity department or the actual operation department, they all know that many top decision makers of companies do not actually understand many professional terms very well, and their reserves of various relevant knowledge are far less than those of their subordinates.

This is also normal. Which boss knows everything and is omnipotent?
The most important thing for decision makers is to understand how to coordinate all the employees who "know" and how to cross-utilize their knowledge and experience to make a project profitable.

Therefore, the most important thing is to convince these employees, make them understand the preferential policies, and let them tell Yang Ruoqian that they can make money by doing so.

However, before they could say a few words, Yang Ruoqian himself came down.

I thought that the big boss of such a big company would be busy for at least an hour or two before coming over, but who knew he didn't even have ten minutes.

Now the difficulty of the whole thing has changed from convincing various professional employees to convincing Yang Ruoqian himself...

I wonder if this famous boss will listen to them seriously?

"Everyone, please sit down." Yang Ruoqian looked at the people in front of him and waved his hand. "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

Those people didn't beat around the bush. When others got straight to the point, they naturally didn't waste any words and simply introduced themselves: "Boss Yang, we are from xx port in xx country..."

"..."

Yang Ruoqian had already read the general information. He listened patiently, nodded, and asked, "Do you have any demands?"

"I know our port city is not as prosperous as the one in the east, and the tourism projects and supporting development on the shore are relatively not that good." The other party was very sincere and did not force himself to brag, but spoke realistically, "But we have a unique advantage that they don't have."

What the staff member said is indeed true - departing from China, no matter which port, the countries passed through are basically fixed, and the route choices are relatively few.

Routes departing from Shanghai to East Asian countries, such as peninsulas or island countries.

Or the routes starting from the port cities in the south to the Southeast Asian countries.

But obviously, the tourism service facilities in Southeast Asian countries are difficult to compare with those in the two more economically developed countries in East Asia.

Yang Ruoqian still had some common sense. He asked back without commenting, "So what exactly are the advantages?"

Isn't this like sending a pillow when you are sleepy? Someone actually came to analyze their own advantages?

Wouldn't this allow you to avoid all of this?
The staff member was completely unaware that the other boss's attitude was a little strange. He said confidently: "We can't compete with them on summer routes, but in the fall after summer, I think we have an advantage that they can't match!"

"climate!"

"After the fall, the temperature on the eastern route drops sharply, which will cause many water sports activities to be unable to operate normally, and many tourists will not be able to enjoy many, many activities... We can't let tourists sunbathe on the deck in swimsuits in such a cold weather? We can't let them ride the water slide in the cold wind, right?"

"But on the southern route, there is no such problem! Our route is close to the equator, and the temperature will not be particularly low in autumn or even winter. Tourists can enjoy all the complete experiences without any worries... In this case, your company's cruise ticket prices do not need to be reduced too much. A reduction in the discount rate means an increase in your company's revenue."

Generally speaking, ticket prices in the off-season are indeed lower than those in the peak season.

"Moreover, the supporting services here are also relatively much cheaper! Customers who pursue cost-effectiveness and do not want to lose the complete experience will definitely make up their minds to buy tickets!"

"..."

While describing the advantages of the route here, they also did not forget to describe the current construction of their port city - after all, no matter how good the natural conditions are, the hardware facilities must also meet the standards. Yang Ruoqian listened to the other party's endless chatter and nodded slightly.

Seeing that the other boss's expression had relaxed, the other party felt that there was a good chance, and his tone was a little excited: "Boss Yang, we have a visa-free policy for cruise passengers here. Perhaps you can consider focusing on the autumn routes here?"

Many countries actually have this policy...

The other party didn't look like an official from a tourist city. Instead, he looked like a street vendor. He didn't dare to lie in front of a customer with a keen eye, so he could only shout something like "Boss, come and take a look here."

Yang Ruoqian complained in his heart, but did not say it out loud. Instead, he thought about it carefully.

"If we take your route, the operating costs will be lower, right?" When Yang Ruoqian asked this question, he also looked at the employees in his company who were in charge of this project.

"Yes, Mr. Yang."

"Yes."

"..."

After receiving a positive response, Yang Ruoqian nodded again: "Then I think that the proposal just now needs some changes."

The person in charge, who was talking with dry mouth, tightened his hands, feeling happy and worried.

Fortunately, the other party’s boss did not directly reject their opinion, which means that the route issue is almost certain.

Worryingly, he said there were changes to the plan.

The so-called changes should be bargaining... For example, asking for more preferential policies, or even asking local officials to help with publicity and other resources?

As long as the price is not too high, they can actually agree to it.

Who says they are not that famous and cannot compete with other tourist cities?

Perhaps they still have some competitiveness in the less popular and cheaper routes, but the "Liuguang" is obviously a high-end luxury cruise ship.

Why would others agree to it if you don’t come up with something real?
They had already prepared themselves to be ripped off, and said with a smile, "Boss Yang, you go ahead and tell me what you want to say."

"I think that although the 'Liu Guang' is a luxury cruise ship, we should still focus on diversity in the early stage and not favor one over the other." Yang Ruoqian said a lot of clichés first, "This is a Luo Ruying-themed cruise ship, and fans are all over the world... The slightly farther continents are limited by geographical conditions, so let's not talk about them for now, but your routes are basically right at our doorstep. If you don't set up routes here first, isn't it a bit unfair to the fans over there?"

"what?!"

When the official staff of the other party heard this, they looked a little confused.

Weren't they talking about the cruise route issue? How did it get to the point of Luo Ruying's fans?

Besides, considering the economic development level of their country, not many people can afford to buy tickets...

Yang Ruoqian didn't wait for their response and continued, "Our plan is this - the cruise ship will of course have extremely expensive and luxurious large suites, exclusive privileges for exclusive customers, restaurants and recreational facilities, but we will also prepare other options for other fans. Fans will not be in the embarrassing situation of 'not being able to support' their idols."

"So, I don't plan to arrange all the flights in the summer along the East China Sea route. Instead, I plan to arrange flights in the southeast and east China, so that all fans and fans who haven't bought tickets can more or less experience something they haven't been able to experience before."

"When we fly this route, we will also lower the ticket prices as appropriate to take care of your tourists."

Since different routes have different operating costs, lowering fares on routes with low operating costs will not be judged as a violation by the system.

Moreover, the passengers who choose cheaper routes have lower overall spending power than those who choose more expensive routes, and their spending power on board will be even weaker.

The ticket price is lower and the consumption on board is lower. Yang Ruoqian will never miss such an opportunity!
Arrange the route carefully!

The exclusive benefits, restaurants and entertainment programs of large suites sound impressive, but they are actually mainly based on services, food and clubs. They do not involve basic entertainment projects and will not make the entire experience of travelers incomplete.

"what?!"

The staff who just wanted to get a chance to take the autumn route never expected that the other party would arrange them on the summer route.

People who originally just wanted to try to grab a bite of meat in the off-season by taking advantage of natural conditions were actually invited to the table for dinner?!
They were a little confused: "Well, what do we need to do on our side to cooperate with your company?"

"There's nothing to cooperate with. Just ensure the safety of the tourists and don't let the trip become unhappy." Yang Ruoqian said casually.

"Boss Yang, don't worry!" Seeing that the other party really didn't say anything else, these "lobbyists" were extremely excited. "Both the official and the private sectors have the highest respect and admiration for this route! I'm not afraid to tell you that many of those who are more prestigious among the private sectors are also fans of Luo Ruying. You can rest assured about the public security."

After all, it is not a very developed country, so it is understandable that there are some differences in the ways and perceptions of maintaining public order... Yang Ruoqian is not interested in being so involved, as long as nothing goes wrong.

"Okay, you guys discuss the details." Seeing that other "professional" employees did not express any objections, Yang Ruoqian's ridiculous proposal was successfully passed, and he stood up and left the office with satisfaction.

It feels great to have a group of employees who trust their boss unconditionally and are the first to question their opinions whenever the boss’s opinions conflict with theirs.

As soon as he left the office, Yang Ruoqian saw the secretary waiting at the door.

Mr. Yang, who had just concluded a deal, was in a good mood and asked, "Qi Mu, what's wrong?"

Qi Mu said in a brisk tone, smiling slightly: "Boss Yang, good news... our cash flow pressure this quarter should be relieved a lot."

Yang Ruoqian was struck by lightning: "What happened? Why is it so sudden?!"

How did that happen?

The income that the secretary described as "relieving cash flow pressure" must not be a small amount!

Although the group has no cash flow pressure at all.

Qi Mu continued: "Boss Yang, have you forgotten? After the amusement park and the zoo were built, the supporting facilities nearby were relatively vacant."

"The surrounding land was acquired by us at a lower price."

"There are already many people who want to buy a piece of land at a high price to build a hotel, a restaurant, and supporting facilities. The bids are really high!" (End of this chapter)
