City: Become a principal from junior college!

Chapter 254 The gym opens!Annual card too expensive?

After rigorous experiments.

Ye Chen confirmed that the title of God of E-Sports has an impact on him, but not much.

It's nothing more than one hour shortened to four and 10 minutes.

So Ye Chen, who was relieved, soon followed the college's travel team that grew bigger and bigger every year.

Headed to North America for this year’s summer tour.

The travel schedule of Star Academy is not too intensive.

The main focus is a leisurely vacation.

Ye Chen even took the time to go to an e-sports club in North America and attended the club's opening ceremony.

After meeting Zhang Yu, who also came to North America not long ago, Ye Chen was quite emotional.

Zhang Yu, this young man, is indeed lucky.

Every year he is bought by the club that most wants to win the championship.

However, there is also some deliberate intention from Xingchen Academy.

The Chinese Division cannot be dominated by one family.

If you win the championship every year, others will no longer want to play if they lose too much.

But it is entirely possible to create a legend and a true god through the foreign aid system.

And Zhang Yu is the lucky one.

League of Legends has triple crown champion Faker, and no one has surpassed his honors so far.

But if Zhang Yu can continue to win this year, he will also win the third level of his career.

I will send it to Australia next year.

Let the Australian division win the championship.

In the last year, he took over the Chinese Division and won the Chinese Division again.

If the five championships in five years are really successful, Zhang Yu will truly be surpassed by no one and become a monument in the history of League of Legends e-sports.

As for this kid saying that he wanted to return to the academy to become a teacher after retiring, Ye Chen didn't pay much attention.

When Zhang Yu becomes the five-time champion, he will still be able to earn a lot of money even if he retires from commercial activities.

Under such circumstances, most normal people would be reluctant to return to the academy and become a teacher.

But Ye Chen didn't refuse either.

Everything depends on Zhang Yu's choice at that time.

With Zhang Yu's resume and level, he is definitely qualified to become a teacher in the academy.

……

After attending the club's opening ceremony.

Ye Chen was invited again and visited major prestigious schools.

The world ranking of Star Academy has not changed this year.

From this, we can guess that the last ranking was obviously intentional by the organizers.

So even if the college's animation major has exploded in performance.

The fitness major has also had some success.

The ranking is still not high.

After all, Star Academy is just a junior college.

There are no scientific research majors.

If the rankings were to go higher, it would be rude to those top universities in the world.

……

The last day of the trip to Star Academy.

It’s a trip to Disneyland in North America.

People from Disney Headquarters will take you into the park, so you don’t have to queue at all.

As for Ye Chen, the other party's vice president personally received him.

Ye Chen couldn't help but smile when he looked at the teachers who had changed.

Disney is indeed an amazing company.

We hold a massive amount of IP in our hands.

Both adults and children can find their childhood here.

So except for some older teachers, such as Teacher Ma.

The other teachers were happily enjoying themselves in the paradise and reminiscing about their childhood.

The vice president's attitude was particularly enthusiastic.

After all, students from Star Academy have strong animation production abilities.

This is the kind of talent Disney needs.

The Academy of Stars itself also needs to create a world view similar to that of Marvel.

And it’s a modern setting.

There is also a market in Europe and America.

If Star Academy can succeed.

Then Disney is very willing to further cooperate with Star Academy.

For example, we collaborated on the live-action version of the Sleeping Fairy series.

As for Ye Chen, it was his first time to come to Disney and watch various cartoon characters on the big screen really appear in front of him.

Ye Chen felt that his plan to learn from Disney and build a paradise was a bit optimistic.

The IP is too different.

There are countless IP works such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, The Lion King, Snow White, Princess Elsa, etc. It takes decades to attract all the tourists.

All ages.

What about yourself?
Even if the Sleeping Immortal series is really successful.

It is also impossible to cover the audience of men, women, old and young.

Even if a park is opened, it will be difficult to attract everyone.

Therefore, it is better to accumulate more.

The vice president looked at Principal Xingchen in front of him deep in thought and asked curiously.

Ye Chen didn't hide it either.

Hearing this, the vice president immediately laughed...

He didn't have any hostility.

I just feel a little disdainful.

The principal in front of me is really too young...

Looking around the world, many companies want to imitate Disney.

There are even more people who have contributed money to build the paradise.

For example, a certain richest man in China said he would build a paradise to kill Disney.

and then?
Cool and crisp.

Only Disney, which holds countless IPs, can do all this.

Star Academy does have something.

But they want to engage in the park industry like Disney.

That's just nonsense.

But I still want to cooperate in the future, so naturally I can’t laugh at each other.

The Vice President politely wished Xingchen College a promising future.

Ye Chen could feel the other person's hidden smile, but he didn't care.

Ye Chen must build this paradise.

But not now, and not in a few years.

But it could be more than ten years or even decades later.

The biggest problem for domestic companies today is that they are too anxious.

Always thinking about overtaking in corners.

But Star Academy is different. As a school, it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people.

Naturally, Xingchen Academy will not be in a hurry.

There are not enough animation IPs to support a paradise.

But what about waiting ten years or waiting 20 years?

Just accumulate slowly.

In short.

Ye Chen hopes that one day.

When people all over the world come on vacation, they want to take their families and children to the paradise of Star Academy.

He even did not hesitate to fly tens of thousands of kilometers to China just to enjoy happiness in the paradise of stars and recall his childhood.

……

But this trip to Disney.

It also made Ye Chen's thoughts change.

Before, maybe it was because I was an adult and didn’t have children.

So the real children's animation market is completely ignored.

After all, animation is actually made for children from the beginning.

Only works that a person watched during his childhood can be called childhood memories.

It makes people remember it.

have the most profound impact on people.

Therefore, our own Xingchen Animation Company can also open another group.

Let students who are interested in children's animation create an animation specifically for children.

If the children of a country can grow up watching their own cartoons, it must be a happy thing.

……

That's it.

Time flies by.

The North American tour is over.

Ye Chen and the teachers, after a short break, began to prepare intensively for the new school year.

When the time comes August [-]th.

The fifth academic year of Star Academy has officially begun!
This year, the number of majors offered by Xingchen College has reached six.

The number of enrolled students has officially exceeded [-].

In addition, the parents, who didn’t care how old they were, all dragged their families to the cafeteria to eat.

Therefore, the opening scene of Star Academy is particularly lively.

All the colleges I looked at were envious.

So many students are spending their money in vain.

Xingchen Academy can make a lot of money out of just one year's tuition.

Principal Lanxiang is the most envious.

But since school started today, he was in a good mood.

Because the newly opened animation major and fitness major in my college have recruited many students.

That adds up to thousands.

The reason why there are so many people is that the score must be low.

On the other hand, it is because the prospects of the fitness industry and animation industry look good.

After the past two years, many volunteer instructors have popularized science.

The whole society has a consensus.

That is the choice of major, which is more important than the choice of college.

If students can't get into Xingchen College, then they should settle for the same major in other colleges.

Judging from the current popularity of the industry.

As long as the college you attend isn't too bad.

There is no need to worry about finding a job after graduation.

Therefore, schools that opened new majors this year, especially fitness majors, have reaped the dividends brought by Xingchen Academy.

However, the opening of Star Academy is not a hot topic today.Most netizens on the entire Internet are attracted by another thing.

That is Star Gym, which also officially opened today.

……

For Xingchen Gym, the whole network is really looking forward to it.

After all, both Xingchen students and students from surrounding colleges.

As long as you pay for a personal trainer and stick to fitness.

The body transformation has been huge.

This has long made netizens look forward to the upcoming Star Gym.

Now it is finally open.

People who have fitness needs will naturally not miss it and want to experience the level of Xingchen personal trainer as soon as possible.

By the way, let's also feel the difference between Xingchen Gym and gyms outside.

And Marison is one of them.

Marison undoubtedly has a love-hate relationship with Star Academy.

Because of Star Academy, his sexual orientation was forced to be exposed in the company.

But also because of Xingchen Academy and relying on Xingchen Food Recommendation Network, he found a lot of delicious food.

As for the three comic adaptations of Xingchen Animation, he was fascinated by them and kept up with them as soon as possible every week.

Because it is a domestically produced comic, there is no need to wait for Chinese translation, and it is extremely enjoyable.

What he is most worried about now is that the three comic works will soon be taken over by a new class of sophomore animation students, and whether the quality will decline as a result.

He actually wanted to appeal not to change people.

But Star Academy buys novel copyrights, draws comics and adapts works, just to train students.

In order to enjoy watching it, I would not let Xingchen students get started, which would be a bit selfish.

So I can only pray in my heart that the quality will be stable.

After catching up on updates, Marison stayed at home without any interest.

Thinking about the blind date a few days ago, Marison felt a little humiliated...

I went on a blind date that day and sat in the store.

When the girl came in and saw him, she didn't sit down at all. She just said she had something to do, turned around and left.

After I asked the introducer, I found out that the girl thought he was fat.

This made Marison a little angry. What happened to being fat?
Has Fatty eaten your rice?

Besides, I am 1.8 meters tall. Can I be called fat if I am [-] meters tall?

Is this called being strong?
Although Marison cursed, he said he couldn't bear the grievance.

But being so disliked by others still hurts my heart after all.

Therefore, I made up my mind to lose weight, and even went out for a run last night.

But as soon as I ran to the gate of the community, I was so tired that I went home and lay down.

At this moment, when I saw the Xingchen Gym open, I thought about the magic of Xingchen Fitness students mentioned on the Internet.

After hesitating for a moment, Marison climbed out of bed.

Tianhai City also opened a gym because Xingchen Academy is here.

Maybe it's because we can't find a suitable location in the city center.

Therefore, the gym is located in a newly built area slightly further away.

But the Marison family is right here, so it's just right.

Riding a shared electric scooter, Marison arrived at the place in 10 minutes and saw the Star Gym.

The entire gym is a separate three-story building, almost as big as a sales department in an average residential area.

The exterior decoration also looks very stylish.

The five big characters of Xingchen Gym are particularly eye-catching.

The Star Gym is quite busy at the moment, with many people at the door.

There are many luxury cars in the surrounding parking lots.

This all made Marison feel discouraged.

For such a luxurious gym, the annual pass must not be cheap.

The annual membership fee for the gym in my community is over 1000.

The gymnasium of Star Academy may not start at [-] yuan.

I don’t dare to say how many days I can continue to exercise. Anyway, I am definitely not willing to spend so much money to apply for a card.

Or forget it.

After hesitating for a moment, Marison gritted his teeth.

Come here.

Let’s take a look, what if we can get free prostitution when we open today?
Thinking of this, Marison still had the courage to enter the gym.

But as soon as he entered, Marison discovered that Star Gym was different from other gyms.

Like other gyms, there are always a bunch of sales and coaches around the door.

When they come up, they will ask you if you want to apply for a card and tell you what activities are available.

But at Xingchen Gym, there was no sales at all at the door.

There are only five receptionists standing side by side at the front desk in the lobby to introduce the gym to guests.

On both sides, there are acrylic advertising stands.

There is an introduction to Star Gym written on it.

"Star Gym Fee Standards!"

“Sub-card: 30 RMB per time!”

"Monthly card, 300 RMB per month!"

“Annual card, 3000 RMB per year!”

"Global Annual Card: 1 RMB per year!"

Sure enough it was 3000 RMB a year.

Marison was proud of his correct judgment.

However, it is indeed too expensive.

Marison felt that with his ability to persist, he could persist three times at most.

One thousand at a time is really a huge price to pay.

At this moment, some guests at the front desk also asked questions: "Why is your Xingchen Gym so expensive? Our most high-end gym in Tianhai City usually only costs 2000 yuan a year."

"Can't your Star Academy charge such high fees just because it's famous?"

"Are there any discounts? Like buy one year and get one year free or something? Or maybe a dozen private lessons as a gift."

Marison quickly nodded secretly and praised this guest.

However, the front desk quickly replied: "I'm sorry, the charging standards of our Star Gym are set after careful consideration."

"Today's gyms will provide changing rooms, bathing, swimming and fitness areas..."

"The annual card is [-] yuan, and the average daily payment is less than [-] yuan. The profit is actually not high, and it can even be said that it is not very profitable."

"After all, whether it's the venue, employees, equipment maintenance, etc., it costs money."

"As for why annual passes to other gyms are cheaper."

"This is actually due to differences in each other's business strategies."

"Unless it's a small gym, an annual membership card worth 1000 yuan a year is definitely a loss."

"At the same time, you can also apply for a monthly card or a sub-card to experience it."

The front desk didn't explain much.

I’m not saying that other gyms are not good, I’m just saying that their business strategies are different.

However, the words at the front desk also made many customers look thoughtful.

What the front desk said makes sense...

An annual card of 1000 yuan a year does not sound cheap.

But if calculated over a whole year, it’s less than three yuan a day.

If a customer comes to exercise, swim, and take a shower every day, then to be honest, the gym will definitely be losing money.

So why are gyms outside so cheap?
It can't be for charity, right?

Marison has seen some similar news.

Know why other gyms are cheaper.

That’s because the gym is betting that you won’t be able to work out if you apply for the card.

In this way, the other party will make a pure profit.

At the same time, because gyms are becoming more and more dense.

Competition is becoming increasingly fierce, leading to price wars within the industry.

But the problem is that it is too cheap and it will lose money if it continues to operate.

So many gyms took the money and ran away.

What the front desk means is that the annual membership card of their Star Gym is expensive because they don’t run away?

to be frank.

Marison never worried that Star Gym would run away.

After all, behind Xingchen Gym is the wealthy Xingchen Academy.

The front desk will then answer questions about activities or offers.

Nothing at all.

Xingchen Gym has clearly marked prices, so it doesn’t matter who comes.

As for the method of applying for a card, it is also very simple.

Or scan the QR code, apply for a card directly through the mini program, and enter the gym by swiping your face.

However, it is not mandatory to apply via mobile phone.

For example, elderly people who need fitness, but are not very good at using smartphones.

Then you can go through the membership procedures at the front desk.

Seeing this, Marison nodded.

Star Academy is Star Academy after all.

Unlike those restaurants that force mobile phone ordering, after all, they have to be more humane and take the elderly into consideration.

Some customers thought it was expensive and turned away.

But most people still apply for a sub-pass or monthly pass and plan to go in and experience it.

The same goes for Marison.

Needless to say, the Global Annual Pass is for business travelers.

After purchasing, it can be used in all star gyms around the world.

Ordinary annual passes are a bit too expensive for Marison.

The monthly card is 300 yuan, which is not cheap.

It got stuck 31 times.

In terms of unit price, it is actually the most expensive.

But Marison felt that he would probably only come here to experience it once.

The next time I come to the gym, I don’t know how long it will be.

It's better to be more expensive...

Scan the code to open the mini program.

Buy a card and use face recognition.

The whole process is extremely simple.

Marison quickly passed the turnstile in the lobby and entered the gym!
But Marison didn't put down his phone.

Because he discovered that the function of this small program is not just to open a card.

There are many other functions.

For example, the most core and most attractive personal training class at Xingchen Gym.

You can pay directly to purchase private lessons on the mini program and take classes.

And it seems that you don’t have to buy many classes at once.

You can even buy them one by one.

This made Marison's eyes light up.
