Chapter 66: Build a Paradise for Her

"Is there something wrong?" Masculine and elegant, not at all like a businessman.

"Luo Dong, this is Xiao Chen, who acted bravely and helped the police arrest the fugitives." Uncle Xu dragged Chen Ge to his side: "It's still the incident I reported to you before, he wants to lease the idle underground parking lot." ”

"Okay, I see, you go and get busy with yours first." Director Luo motioned for Uncle Xu to leave, and he and Chen Ge were left in the room.

"I already know that you want to rent an underground parking lot, can you tell me what you are going to do in renting a garage?" Director Luo asked Chen Ge to sit on the sofa, and he poured two cups of tea.

"To expand the haunted house, I'm going to turn the underground parking lot into an underground labyrinth."

"Underground labyrinths, great idea, but do you have the means and money to support you in doing so? The cost of renting a space is only a small part, and the real difficulty is how to perfect the scene. Director Luo leaned on the back of the sofa, with a trace of vicissitudes and tiredness in his eyes: "I don't object to your idea, I can also rent the venue to you, but before that, I want to ask you a few questions." ”

Although Director Luo agreed to rent the underground parking lot to Chen Ge, he did not say the rent, so Chen Ge was still a little apprehensive: "You ask." ”

"You make haunted houses, you should know better than me how big the upfront investment is in haunted houses, and haunted houses are different from restaurants and hotels, restaurants are closed, and plates, tables and chairs can still be sold second-hand. If you can't hold on anymore, who are those severed hands, broken feet, and various props in your haunted house sold to? ”

What Director Luo said was very reasonable, and these Chen Ge had never thought about it before.

"Even if your haunted house is running well, then let's consider the repurchase rate of goods, haunted houses are one-time consumption goods, and after a period of explosion, they will eventually fall silent, because the number of potential customers you have is limited. If you invest a lot of money, can you recoup your capital? ”

"And one last question, where did you get the exposure when you built the haunted house in the underground parking lot? The number of visitors you have depends on the number of visitors to the park, but what happens to your haunted house if the park closes down one day? ”

Chen Ge could see that Director Luo was blocking him with good intentions, but in fact, these people who blocked him were the ones who really wanted to help him and didn't want to see him suffer.

Director Luo's three questions surrounded Chen Ge's mind, the first two questions did not affect Chen Ge because of the existence of the black mobile phone, and he was worried about the last problem.

If New Century Paradise goes out of business, his haunted house will not be spared.

Going to other places to reopen, not to mention anything else, just a large number of documents is enough for Chen Ge to keep his work busy, and he now has limited funds, and it is almost impossible to find a venue that can accommodate the horror scenes in the black phone.

"Have you figured out these three questions?" Director Luo seemed to have anticipated Chen Ge's answer: "Go back, there are some things to think about before doing it." ”

Chen Ge sat on the sofa and didn't move, he looked up at Director Luo, and suddenly asked, "Is the paradise really unable to support it?" ”

Director Luo didn't affirm or deny, but the tiredness in his eyes became even stronger: "If I say that the park is really about to close, will you still rent the underground parking lot?" ”

"Yes." Chen Ge's answer was beyond Director Luo's expectations, and his eyes were firm: "Director Luo, I have already thought of solutions to your first and second questions. As for your third question, it doesn't hold up at all. ”

Chen Ge's eyes seemed to be dancing with flames, he didn't know how to fear and retreat at all: "My horror house has never relied on anyone, and the number of visitors to my park does not depend on the total number of visitors to the park, as long as I give me time, I will not only attract countless tourists to visit the horror house, but also revitalize the entire park!" Renting an underground car park is just the first step in creating a special park with a horror and thriller theme that has never been seen before. ”

After finishing his words in one breath, Chen Ge remembered Uncle Xu's explanation, saying less and making fewer mistakes, not saying good.

He looked at Director Luo a little uneasily, a little remorseful, how could he say all the things in his heart.

After listening to Chen Ge's words, Director Luo put down the teacup, the tiredness in his eyes had dissipated, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Every sentence is how I am, how I am, you remind me of myself when I was young." ”

He stood up and opened the curtains, looking down on the park from his office window.

"New Century Paradise is going to be closed, and I am the most reluctant and sad of all." He opened the window and let the wind blow his black and white hair: "This park means something different to me, and if I could, I would even like it to stay in business." ”

Director Luo smiled, but his smile was complicated, a calm smile that was used to all the waves: "I heard about you, your parents disappeared, you resigned, and you ran the horror house they left alone. Actually, the two of us are really similar, except that you are much luckier than me. ”

He picked up a picture frame on the table, the only one in the room, and inside was a photo of a father and daughter.

The man is not tall, his temperament is elegant, and the girl in his arms is cute, but unfortunately his arms are deformed and his smile is dull.

"This is my daughter, who has a severe dyslexia and needs special devices to support her back upright. God was very her, but she was strong, and she loved to laugh, both to me and to any stranger. Director Luo looked out the window in a daze: "But this world is not that you are gentle with it, it will return you with the same tenderness, I once took my daughter to the park for a walk, all the children did not want to play with her, at that time my daughter looked at me helplessly, she was very scared, she even thought that she had done something wrong." I didn't know how to comfort her, and from then on, I would only accompany her to play in less crowded places at noon, or on rainy days, and it was then that I had the idea of building a paradise for her. ”

"Unfortunately, she didn't wait for the day when the paradise was repaired." Putting down the photo frame, Director Luo's gaze was still calm: "Many people don't understand why I went bankrupt and had to maintain a paradise that was losing money year by year, but I think you might understand this feeling." ”

"Empathize." Chen Ge had already stood up, and he didn't expect Director Luo to say this to him.

"Everyone is thinking about a way back for themselves, and you are the only one who surprises me." Closing the window, Director Luo took out a document from the drawer: "Actually, when they first told me about it, I agreed. Take it, you can tell me if you need anything, but you remember, you may only have two to three months. ”
