Chapter 508 New Year’s Activities
The last meeting at the amusement park before the New Year was naturally related to the New Year.
Compared with the year before last, last year's amusement park was undoubtedly a completely different place.
Putting aside the three newly opened flagship projects, the passenger flow alone is enough to make people sit up and take notice. Jiang Qi remembers that when the amusement park first opened, the number of visitors on weekdays was 500-600, which was terrible.
Weekends are slightly better. When the passenger flow is high, it can exceed 1,000, and when the passenger flow is low, it can be 800-900.
This is a miserable passenger flow in the off-season. During the peak seasons of winter and summer vacations, the passenger flow is usually around 2,000. The customer flow is the largest during the Chinese New Year, and the highest number can exceed 4,000 at a time.
Sounds good, right?
During the peak season, the number of passengers reaches tens of thousands every minute.
Of course, a large-scale amusement park opening in the suburbs of a fourth-tier town is undoubtedly a match for Disney. But the passenger flow of Galaxy Script Theme Park is not comparable to other large amusement parks in second- and third-tier cities of the same level!
At this time, someone may ask, why not compare it with large amusement parks in other 4th-tier towns?
Because most fourth-tier towns will not have an amusement park as large as Galaxy Script Theme Park.
Not everyone has a father like Fang Jing, the richest man, who would give his son a large amusement park when his career was at its peak, and let him ride the Ferris wheel as much as he wanted.
Of course, everyone has seen the outcome. Fresh Milk later went bankrupt and closed down.
Although the collapse of Fresh Milk has nothing to do with the amusement park, but...who cares?
Fang Jing's father used a bloody lesson to tell his peers not to open large amusement parks in fourth-tier towns.
In fact, if it weren't for Jiang Qi's amusement park, it would have fallen from the sky without spending much money. In the early days, sales of Dollhouse and Toy Spirit peripherals were strong enough. The amusement park's sales at that time were so bleak that Hu Qing scratched half of his hair, and then began to think about whether the company was about to close down and whether he and his wife should start thinking about it. Found a new home.
Until now, the main revenue of amusement parks has been supported by surrounding areas.
But the situation is different now. In the past, the sales supported by surrounding areas were a timely help, but now they are the icing on the cake.
The passenger flow is stagnant!
After the three large-scale projects of Snow Village, Art Museum and Mysterious Magic Academy, which have been hotly searched since their opening, have stabilized their operations, the reputation and popularity of the amusement park have increased significantly.
This can be seen from the booming business of Bingbing B&B during the peak season and the fact that taxi drivers will deliberately stay at the train station and only use the line from the train station to the amusement park.
As customer traffic increases, surrounding sales will become even better.
As the business of the amusement park is booming, HR recruitment has become more frequent. Basically, there are new employees in the amusement park every month, and even several new chefs and assistant chefs in the restaurant have been recruited. Compared with the previous year, the number of employees at the amusement park doubled last year.
If the theater had not been renovated, rebuilt, and expanded in scale, there is no question whether the annual meeting could be held in the theater.
As the general person in charge of this year's annual meeting, Shen Lirong feels that the burden on her shoulders is heavier than last year.
Although she is not responsible for the content of the annual meeting.
Among the executives of the amusement park, except for card characters like Jiang Cha, only Shen Lirong and Hu Qing can directly communicate with Jiang Qi. The reports written by these two are more to Jiang Qi's taste.
Therefore, in theory, these two people will be in charge of most things in the amusement park. As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and the higher the salary. With high salaries, the couple had no objection to the work assigned to them by their boss.
Isn’t it just working overtime? Overtime!
With a smile on her face, blue eyes and dark circles from working overtime for several days, Shen Lirong solemnly introduced the programs of this year's annual meeting to Jiang Qi.
This year’s annual meeting can be summed up in two words: professional!
very professional.
What do most of the new employees at the amusement park this year study?
I'm studying acting!
All are professionals.
Playing, playing and singing is not a problem, and he is proficient in all 18 musical instruments. I know a thing or two about cross talk sketches, and I am fairly proficient in ballet and Latin.
Even if the chest is broken by a big stone, the group of professional actors in the art museum can make corresponding props for everyone to act out.
Let’s put it this way, Liu Lan’s Pipa didn’t even pass the primary election this year.
Qin Can still managed to obtain the qualification to perform by forming a group with other dancers.
Lillian didn't know whether she was interested in the 1,000 yuan bonus from the show or just wanted to join in the fun, so she insisted on signing up for magic. And because she was the only one who signed up for magic during the entire annual meeting (Jiang Cha and Principal Peggy didn't compete with her), Lillian successfully won the opening show.
As for Wang Xinghua, who was the only one of the card characters to perform on stage last year...
She still performed stably this year. Last year she ate 5 burgers in a row. This year she increased the amount and ate 8!
It's also a double-decker beef burger with pickles.
In this shocking show, Shen Lirong arranged for her to be second, right behind Lillian, which was considered half a magic trick.
"Since there are more employees who signed up for the program this year, after half a month of fierce competition, 28 programs were finally selected, including magic, dance, sketches, cross talk, puppet shows, songs, and chest-breaking programs. They are rich in content and entertaining. "High, the performance is expected to last two hours." Shen Lirong said affectionately in conjunction with the PPT.
"On the day of the annual meeting, the amusement park will close early and close at 6 o'clock. The Incredible Magic Academy does not sell 2888 accommodation tickets on New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve, so there is no need to consider the placement of accommodation tourists."
"Visitors to the Snow Village don't need to worry. We have recruited a group of temporary workers to maintain the normal business of the Snow Village on the night of New Year's Eve."
With that said, Shen Lirong switched to the next PPT.
"Same as last year, every employee who participates in the annual meeting will receive a lottery ticket. Considering that you, boss, were too tired to draw prizes last year, we have specially updated the lottery machine this year."
PPT everything, and the appearance of an updated lottery machine appears on the projection.
"The lottery machine is filled with specially customized ultra-small balls, and inside the balls are the corresponding lottery tickets. You only need to move your hands to draw the prizes, and specialized staff will be responsible for removing the balls."
Jiang Qi looked at the lottery machine on the PPT and fell into silence.
What about the lottery draw?
Although it does have a sense of ceremony. It feels like winning a lottery of 5 million yuan at the annual meeting. How can it not have a sense of ceremony?
However, Jiang Qi could also understand why Shen Lirong didn't follow the example of other companies' annual meetings and directly draw electronic lottery tickets. The numbers flashed on the screen and the boss called timeout. This was a primitive and complicated job.
Mainly for fairness.
The special prize at this year’s annual meeting has been doubled from 50,000 yuan in cash last year to 180,000 yuan in cash.
Based on Jiang Qi's understanding of Lilian's poverty and her skill characteristics, there is a high probability that this grand prize will fall into Lilian's pocket.
There is no way, Lilian's skill is too buggy, do you think she is lucky Lilian?
Last year's grand prize winner was Lili, and Jiangcha accepted it on her behalf. Jiang Qi took the winning prizes out of the prize box one by one. Otherwise, given Jiang Cha’s apparent relationship with Jiang Qi and her status as a senior executive, there would definitely be rumors in the amusement park that something like winning the cash prize would be true. There are rumors such as secret operations and eventually going into the boss's pocket.
This year's special prize is doubled, so the lottery process cannot be based on reality.
This year, like last year, employees’ winning rate is as high as 70%.
The prizes at the amusement park annual meeting are mainly practical.
The big prizes are items that can be used in daily life such as refrigerators, washing machines, mobile phones, computers, tablets, and electric cars, while the small prizes are items that can be used in daily life such as shopping cards, rice cookers, and other cheap items.
Even the consolation prize is a very practical day of paid leave + a mention of toilet paper.
Don't ask why there is mention of toilet paper. The question is that too much was put in during the restocking process, and it was piled up in the warehouse to take up space.
Jiang Qi nodded and signaled Shen Lirong not to stay in this part for too long and to quickly talk about the next part.
Shen Lirong heard the song and knew its elegant meaning, and quickly switched the PPT to the next one.
Since the content of the next PPT was more important and formal, Shen Lirong put away her relatively relaxed and cheerful tone and became serious.
"The following is the content of the New Year lucky bags in the amusement park during the Spring Festival this year."
"According to the estimation of Manager Chen of the Operation Department, the number of visitors to the amusement park may reach a small peak on the second to third day of the Lunar New Year, with the number of visitors exceeding 13,000."
"Yes." Manager Chen stood up nervously. He usually didn't have many opportunities to report directly to Jiang Qi. Now he was reporting in front of so many supervisors and managers, so he was inevitably nervous.
"According to data feedback from online ticket sales, starting from the first day of the Lunar New Year, the number of people entering the park will exceed 11,000, and 13,000 on the third day of the lunar new year is only a conservative estimate."
"Considering that the Incredible Magic Academy is open during the New Year from the first to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the number of admissions during these five days may reach a new high."
"Based on the current situation of various amusement facilities in the amusement park, if the number of visitors exceeds 15,000, the queue time per person for a single item may exceed 2 hours. For some popular items, such as the Horror Doll House, the queue time may exceed 4 hours. .”
"In order to relieve the pressure on various attractions, our operations department proposed the New Year Lucky Bag activity."
The PPT switched to the next page, and Hu Qing opened his mouth to add: "The New Year Lucky Bag Project, as the name suggests, from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, more than 8,000 New Year lucky bags will be placed everywhere in the amusement park every day."
"Various exchange coupons can be issued in the lucky bag, and gifts can also be issued directly. The gifts are mainly unsold toys in the warehouse and unsold peripherals in the theater."
"In addition, we will also set up four lantern riddle guessing places at the southeast, northwest and southeast corners of the amusement park. Visitors can guess lantern riddles, accumulate points, and use the points to redeem lanterns of corresponding styles."
With that said, Hu Qing took out a beautiful lantern from under the table like magic and handed the lantern to Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi took the lantern and looked at it carefully, and found that it was indeed good, beautiful and exquisite, and most importantly, quite cute. If children see them crying and asking for lanterns, then their parents may have to be stuck in the lantern riddle guessing area guessing lantern riddles all day without being able to play any of the rides.
It's really a good way to divert traffic.
"The open space to the north of the Magic Academy will be filled with various temporary stalls, selling traps, shooting, and all kinds of food and New Year supplies. Spring couplets, antithetical couplets, New Year pictures and other gadgets will be in this area. Free delivery.”
"Since the crystal ball divination classes are not open during the opening period of the Incredible Magic Academy, Assistant Professor Wang took the initiative to apply to set up a fortune-telling stall in this area."
Jiang Qi:?
Okay, this is very Assistant Professor Wang.
He originally planned to give Assistant Wang a five-day holiday during the Chinese New Year and let him go home for the New Year. Unexpectedly, Assistant Wang himself was not willing to take a holiday. He loved his work very much, so he decided to find a job for himself, not forgetting his personality, and setting up a stall to tell fortunes.
"If Assistant Professor Wang sets up a fortune-telling stall, it might cause crowding, right?" Jiang Qi said.
It’s not that Assistant Coach Wang is very popular. Assistant Teacher Wang is relatively popular among the teacher NPCs at the Incredible Magic Academy, but he is far less popular than the top ones like Lillian, Principal Peggy, and Teacher Zero.
Jiang Qi felt that setting up a fortune-telling stall would cause crowding, mainly because Assistant Professor Wang talked too much.
For ordinary fortune tellers, a divination of 3 to 5 minutes is enough. Assistant Professor Wang is different. In order to make customers feel that they get value for money, he gets so excited that he wants to chat with a customer for half an hour. From romance to life ideals, there is nothing he cannot talk about.
"Assistant Professor Wang also took this into consideration, so he decided to use the method of drawing lots to help tourists tell their fortunes."
"Each visitor can draw a lottery when entering the park. If you win a red lottery, your fortune will be told, but if you win a white lottery, you will not be lucky."
"Only 10 red tickets are released a day, so there will be no crowding at all."
Jiang Qi:......
It sounds like it's more likely to cause crowding.
10,000 visitors, 10 red lottery tickets, and a one-thousandth chance of winning. Not to mention going to watch the fortune telling, even if someone wins the lottery, others still have to go and watch.
Yes, Assistant Teacher Wang knows how to draw cards.
Jiang Qi could only say: "As long as Assistant Wang is happy."
New Year activities are mainly for celebration and excitement.
"Is there anything else?" Jiang Qi asked.
Hu Qing nodded solemnly.
"At your father's suggestion, from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there will be dragon and lion dance performances in Taiping Town at 10 a.m., 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. to celebrate the Spring Festival."
Jiang Qi:? ? ?
His dad still likes this?
Dragon and lion dance? ? ?
Jiang Cha sent a message to Jiang Qi at the right time.
Jiang Cha: Liu Lan once tried to sign up for a dragon and lion dance performance, but failed due to lack of skills.
Jiang Qi:......
Jiang Cha had forgotten that Liu Lan was also a professional who had learned dragon and lion dance.
Look, the advantage of learning one more craft is reflected here. You never know when the craft you learn will come in handy.
Although Liu Lan did not use this craft because she was not skilled enough, if she had not learned this craft, she would not even be qualified to register.
"This dragon and lion dance performance... won't involve employees from our amusement park, right?" Jiang Qi asked.
Hu Qing was very impressed: "Boss, you are really good at predicting things. Some of the performers are indeed employees of the amusement park. However, since there are not many employees who know this skill, we still hired a professional team from outside." performance team to perform.”
Very good, this group of outstanding employees who have failed in the entertainment industry are indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers. They can not only crush rocks on their chests, but also dance with dragons and lions.
Are there any surprises for you that I don’t know about?
New Year activities are the top priority of this meeting. After reporting on the New Year activities, the heads of each department conducted some simple year-end reports. The last meeting of the year ended successfully.
After the meeting, Jiang Qi was the first to leave the conference room. Because Jiang Cha was the airborne financial manager and had family connections, he was able to leave the conference room second.
"Boss." Jiang Cha quickly caught up with Jiang Qi in front, "Happy New Year."
Jiang Qi was stunned and said with a smile: "Happy New Year!"
Then Jiang Qi felt his phone vibrate.
I took out my phone and found a long-lost message from Xiaoka.
