Under the guidance of the map, everyone trudged to the shops in the golden area.
The space here is very large, not much different from the shops in ordinary shopping malls, but the route there is quite tortuous, and it feels like "a village with hidden flowers and bright flowers".
If you didn't have a map in hand, I'm afraid it would have been a lot of effort for everyone to get here.
Neat shelves have been arranged one by one, but they are all empty at the moment, and no specific items have been decided on what to sell.
Pei Qian thought for a moment and asked, "What do other stores sell? Is there a product list?"
Chen Kangtuo nodded: "Of course, here."
As he spoke, he handed Pei Qian the product list he had prepared in advance.
Pei Qian took it and browsed it roughly.
Each product has a picture and a specific price, and is obviously purchased according to the previous four divisions.
For example, the orange area symbolizes enthusiasm and unrestrainedness, and mainly sells things for young people. The product list includes figures, peripherals, key chains, pendants, headphones, mobile phone cases, etc.
The blue area symbolizes maturity and calmness, and mainly sells souvenirs that mature people like, such as portraits, watches, pendants, sculptures, etc.
There is also a burgundy area that sells headwear and themed costumes, and a purple area that sells some interesting magic props or trick toys.
Some of these products are purchased directly, and any product with a bit of horror and horror elements can be purchased, while the other part is customized in advance, directly using materials related to Panic Hostel and "Bequiet" to make mobile phone cases.
You can sell pendants, postcards and the like.
Pei Qian's eyes swept over these products, especially the prices on the back of the products, and he thought quickly.
This golden area is in the center of the entire golden maze. It can be said to be a transportation hub. The distance to this area from any entrance is almost the same; but from another perspective, it is the most hidden and most difficult of the four areas.
Found it.
Then, high-value goods can be eliminated first.
Because all goods are priced at the same percentage above the cost price, the higher the value of the goods, the more money you can make from selling them.
The Golden Zone is hard to find, but tourists go to great lengths to find it. When they see these good things that look expensive but are worth their money, they will definitely buy them.
After all, there is an old saying that goes, “Everything comes when it comes.”
The more people buy, the profits will definitely increase.
Secondly, these products cannot be unique to the golden zone.
According to the wishes of Chen Kangtuo and other investors, it is obvious that a batch of products should be transferred from other districts to be sold in the golden area to ensure that the products in each district do not overlap.
But in this way, wouldn’t the goods in the golden zone have scarcity value and collection value? Wouldn’t everyone buy more frequently?
Definitely not!
After a brief analysis, Pei Qian quickly thought of a strategy for selecting products in the golden area.
It cannot be too expensive, and at the same time, it must be available in other districts.
This will not stimulate consumers' desire to buy, allowing them to buy less and spend less, and Mr. Pei will also be able to thank him for his money.
This is truly good for him and good for me.
Pei Qian glanced at the entire list and randomly selected a few gadgets that were inexpensive but nothing new.
"This little blue will-o'-the-wisp lamp."
"This little golden lantern."
"And this...light green glow stick."
"Plus this, the little devil horns light up tiara."
Pei Qian directly selected one product from each of the four districts. The prices were very cheap, ranging from 5 yuan to 50 yuan.
The will-o'-the-wisp lantern is in the orange area, the golden lantern is in the blue area, the light green fluorescent stick is in the purple area, and the little devil's horn headdress is in the burgundy area.
I originally wanted to choose something cheaper, such as postcards, small pendants, etc., but then I thought about it. Although these things are cheap, they are relatively universal and anyone can buy them. There seems to be a problem if there are too many people buying them.
.
The four selected props are all neither good nor bad. They should be used for collection. They are not of high quality. Wear them and throw them away when you go out. They are a bit luxurious.
The effect on dissuading consumers must be good!
Chen Kangtuo and the investors were a little confused.
These things...are not expensive!
Mr. Pei did not choose the more expensive and high-profit items, such as the exquisite souvenirs in the blue area and the custom-made clothes in the burgundy area. He only chose marginal products with poor value for money, just to make up the numbers.
Of course, these products are also printed with the Terror Hostel logo, but you can’t just put a stamp on it and have customers buy it without thinking, right?
But now that Mr. Pei has spoken, everyone is too embarrassed to question it, so they can only bury the question mark silently in their hearts.
Chen Kangtuo asked: "Uh...Mr. Pei, so these things are not sold in other districts, right?"
"Huh?" Pei Qian asked strangely, "No more selling? How can we not sell it? Of course we will still sell it the same."
Chen Kangtuo opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Obviously, the current sales method has completely failed to achieve the original design purpose!
Originally, the golden area was the hardest area to find. It should sell some high-value, unique products to stimulate customers' desire to spend. Now it's good, these items are also sold in the other four areas, and they have no souvenir value!
But Mr. Pei had already made up his mind and had no choice but to write it down silently.
"Okay, there's no problem, let's just settle it." Pei Qian was very satisfied with everyone's attitude.
It didn't take much effort to leave the golden maze. Everyone walked around casually and found a passage out. The whole process was so smooth that they didn't even look at the map.
However, turning around and looking at the way back, it would be impossible to find the shops in the Golden District by going back the same way.
Returning to the square again, Pei Qian suddenly felt a little need to urinate.
"Where is the bathroom?" Pei Qian asked.
Chen Kangtuo pointed to both sides: "There are public restrooms on both sides, and there are also public restrooms in restaurants and hotels. Do you need me to take you there?"
Pei Qian quickly waved his hand: "No, just wait for me here."
It's so annoying to have to be escorted to the toilet.
Pei Qian estimated the distance and it seemed that the distance from the square to the two bathrooms was the same.
This is normal. After all, bathrooms are usually located in such marginal areas and cannot be built in a square or next to a fountain.
After draining the water in the bathroom, wash your hands in the fountain? That's so inappropriate.
Pei Qian walked to one of the restrooms. He could also check how well the restrooms were covered and whether they had implemented the Tengda spirit to give tourists the best restroom experience.
Seeing Mr. Pei leaving, Li Shi immediately came over and asked Chen Kangtuo: "Why did Mr. Pei choose these things to sell? This is unreasonable!"
Other investors also echoed: "Yeah, you can't make any money from this!"
Everyone obviously cares about this issue. After all, everyone has a share of the income from the Golden Maze. They all get a share. They definitely hope to earn as much as possible.
No one mentioned it just now, just because Mr. Pei was present and it was difficult to discuss it openly. It would appear that everyone was questioning Mr. Pei's decision.
Now that Mr. Pei is away, how long will it take if we don’t discuss it?
Chen Kangtuo also had doubts about this. He frowned and tried hard to use Tengda's spiritual thinking method to interpret the profound meaning of President Pei's move.
"The idea of the golden maze was thought up by Mr. Pei. He must also understand the importance of the golden area. The things here should be of rare value."
"These optional items are not of rare value!"
"What do they have in common..."
Chen Kangtuo still had no clue, so he could only start a brainstorming session and look at the investors: "Do you think these things selected by President Pei have anything in common? Once you find the common ground, you can proceed to the next step of inference."
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
"Are they all moderately priced? Neither expensive nor very cheap?"
"Can I carry it with me?"
"Uh...can they all shine?"
The more investors say something, the more outrageous it becomes.
However, Chen Kangtuo suddenly had an idea: "Yes, they can be carried with you and they all glow!"
Li Shi was a little confused and asked uncertainly: "So... what does this mean?"
Chen Kangtuo said excitedly: "This means that they can be brought to the third project of the Panic Hostel and used as some kind of interactive props!"
"If you think about it carefully, these four glowing shapes have completely different colors."
"We can definitely use this prop to segment customers."
"The blue will-o'-the-wisp light can reduce the monster's attention."
"A small golden lantern can drive away most monsters."
"The green glow stick can attract the attention of nearby monsters."
"The red little devil headdress is equivalent to provoking monsters and will be targeted by all monsters, giving you the most extreme horror experience!"
"In this way, wouldn't it be another subdivision of terrifying difficulty?"
"Those who are timid can buy a golden lantern to enter, while hardcore players who want to experience it a second time after experiencing it once can enter with a light stick and a little devil headdress."
"Challenge with higher difficulty and get better rewards!"
"Combating props with project content, is there any better way to promote it?"
Li Shi thought for a while: "But, this is still not unique, right? These four props can also be purchased in other districts."
Chen Kangtuo smiled slightly: "This is the most wonderful design! If these four props can only be purchased in the golden area, then all the players will be crowded in the golden area. On the one hand, it will not be easy to evacuate the crowd, and on the other hand,
As a result, other districts are relatively deserted."
"The flow of people in other districts has decreased, and other products have been sold less, which still does not help the income."
"According to the current design, other areas also have these props. If customers only want a certain prop, they can buy it in other areas; if tourists want to get all four props, they can either buy the other four
Visit all the districts, or come to the golden district, which also ensures the status of the golden district."
Investors suddenly understood.
I see!
If you think about it this way, it is indeed much more reasonable.
It not only ensures the unique status of the golden area, but also does not distract the passenger flow from other areas too much;
These hard-to-sell items have become in-game props, given additional symbolic meaning, making them easier to sell;
The prices of these things are neither high nor low, so most tourists can afford them, and profits are guaranteed...
Li Shi couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "As expected of a great talent from the game department, this reasoning is simply perfect!"
Chen Kangtuo hurriedly said: "No, I just made a trivial analysis based on Mr. Pei's hint."
Although he sounds humble, Chen Kangtuo is actually very proud in his heart.
Mr. Pei’s problem was solved by me again!
I am awesome!
The joy of solving Mr. Pei’s puzzle is really addictive!
While everyone was discussing, Pei Qian came back.
Far away, Pei Qian felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere.
When we left, everyone looked worried, but it had only been a few minutes, so why were everyone talking and laughing, as if their worries had been swept away?
Seeing Pei Qian back, Li Shi immediately gave a thumbs up: "Mr. Pei! These products you selected for the golden area are so suitable! I admire you, I admire you!"
Pei Qian: "?"
He decisively realized something was wrong and the situation changed!
Mr. Li suddenly opened his mouth to praise me for no reason. These people must have misunderstood me again!
Looking at the proud-looking Chen Kangtuo next to him, Pei Qian's bad premonition suddenly worsened.
"So, what did you see?"
The investors all looked at Chen Kangtuo. After all, he was the one who answered Mr. Pei's intention, and others were too embarrassed to take the credit.
Chen Kangtuo recounted his reasoning very proudly.
"How about Mr. Pei? It should be pretty much the same as your previous expectations, right?" Chen Kangtuo's expression was like that of a primary school student who had just scored 100 points in the exam.
Pei Qian was so shocked that he was completely speechless.
I just went to the bathroom, and you guys made up so much?
Is this skill of yours instant and has no CD?!
Looking back at the beginning, when Chen Kangtuo was transferred to the haunted house project, he was originally "exiled" because this guy worked too much overtime in the game department and had to be eliminated.
I never expected that after I came to the Panic Hostel, it didn’t stop, but it got worse!
Judging from the attitude of Mr. Li and investors towards Chen Kangtuo, there is definitely a lot of collusion in private.
No matter what, we can never let it go like this anymore! We must punish him severely!
He was silent for a moment and said, "Chen Kangtuo."
Chen Kangtuo said with a smile on his face: "Huh?"
Mr. Pei's expression is so solemn. Does he want to... praise me?
Pei Qian paused for a moment: "As the person in charge of the Frightening Hotel project, it is very reasonable and normal to find out every detail of the Frightening Hotel before it opens, right?"
"How can you conquer tourists if you haven't fully and carefully experienced it yourself?"
"Before the opening, that is, within a week, experience every corner of the Terror Hostel, especially all the details of the second and third projects. You must be familiar with the entire process, just like you are doing it yourself.
