In January 2022, employees ushered in the new year on the moon.

The expansion of the base, the expansion of the planting area, the abundance of food every day, and so on are all visible improvements, thanks to the dozens of employees who have not yet been assigned to the department.

At this time, after a week of deliberation, the first plan from the trade department was completed, and in a conference room, Cao Chuan discussed the implementation of the plan with several employees of the trade department.

"Sightseeing plans?" Cao Chuan couldn't help but be interested when he saw the title on the slide, as far as he knew, in the past five years, the space tourism program has been in a low-key development, including several companies such as SpaceX and Virgin International, which have sent a total of 50 people into space.

"Yes, we plan to launch a space tourism business first, without too much cost, plus high profits, it is the most promising business." Wang Xiandao, who was in charge of explaining.

"Our upfront investment includes a moon-class spacecraft, a moon-facing hotel to accommodate guests, and nothing else."

"Considering that the guests are concentrated in the middle class and above, there is no need for advertising and promotion, and customers will be recruited directly through their own channels, and the follow-up operating costs are mainly focused on the fuel consumption of the spacecraft, as well as the cost of food and accommodation for guests on the moon."

Cao Chuan nodded, just such a little investment is really not high.

Wang Xian continued: "Back to profits, according to our costs, combined with the charging standards of space tourism services in several major countries, we have preliminarily formulated a price of 10 million and 15 days of sightseeing time. ”

"We will receive 15 guests at the same time, and the net profit of a round is about 60 million, and considering the huge potential market, it will definitely be in a state of undersupply in a short period of time."

"With the money we receive, we will use every opportunity for the spacecraft to travel back to and from Earth to purchase important materials and send them back to the moon to support the development of the lunar base."

Wang Xian briefly explained the plan, and the rest of the employees listened quietly, apparently they had thought it through, and no one intervened in the process.

"I have a couple of questions." Cao Chuan asked in a serious tone.

"If the plan goes through, when will we be able to meet the first guests?"

"We're going to think about the following things at the same time – the first is to reach out to potential customers on the planet, the second is to plan travel routes, and the third is to build a moon hotel. The conclusion is that the first guests will be admitted after 1 month at the earliest. ”

"How do you protect the safety of money when it comes to the procurement of materials?"

"In this regard, there are a number of nobles of the 13-nation alliance of Europa in the trade department, and according to the law, they enjoy financial immunity, and the money is kept in their hands in a dispersed manner, which will be a safe sum that can be called upon at any time."

Cao Chuan felt that his problem was almost over, the potential of space tourism was not small, and in the first year alone, it seemed that it would be enough to create a market of 1 billion yuan, and if a few more spaceships were added during the period, the scale could be increased by two or three times.

Even well-known companies such as SpaceX and Virgin International have not expanded this market to this point for many years, and it has to be said that it is simply too easy to make money after owning a spaceship, solving the problem of resource supply, and asking for resources from nature for free without having to pay bills.

Seeing the change in the expression on Cao Chuan's face, everyone realized that they had succeeded.

"Wait a minute..."Cao Chuan smiled, "Didn't the trade department consider additional items?" ”

"According to last year's travel market report, the proportion of revenue from additional items in the revenue of major travel agencies is quite high, even accounting for more than 70%. Although the cost of travel is depressed due to the fierce competition in traditional tourism, and it is necessary to rely on additional items to increase profits, considering the current situation of the company, you should consider it. ”

"It's like a souvenir and everything. For example, the stones on the moon, vegetables and whatever, if the price is increased tenfold, those local high-rollers will definitely not take care of it. ”

"How about adding a visit to the moon landing site in other countries? It's a pity that the Star-Spangled Banner and astronaut footprints of the Lighthouse Nation are gone. However, guests from other countries will be interested in visiting the site of the moon landing in their own country, which is after all related to the sense of national pride. ”

"Isn't hotel life boring? There is no way to run casinos, parties, underground fights, and regular hotel value-added services in the hotel, you should know it..."

Cao Chuan said, showing a normal person's eyes, the employees of the trade department smiled, even if they thought about something similar, they always felt that it had not been verified, and the feasibility was canceled because it was unknown.

"Are you planning to try again in a few months? Time is limited, and after a while, everyone should not think about space tourism, but about resource resale. Also, as an employee of the trading department, shouldn't they all be shrewd businessmen? If you don't want to squeeze out the money in the hands of your customers, how can you be considered a qualified businessman. If you feel that it will affect the company's reputation, there is no need to worry, no one will refuse to be a reserved. ”

After Cao Chuan's persuasion, the people present quickly let go of their original superfluous thoughts and no longer had any scruples, but considered how to make as much money as possible.

Wang Xian was a little helpless when he saw this scene, "It's really simple and rude, I have to admit that at this stage when we are still weak, we really have to use this method to grow up quickly." ”

"Guys, make some minor adjustments as Mr. Advisor said, and then let's get moving." He concluded.

As for Cao Chuan, in fact, at most, he is a few more words, he is not a person in power who likes to instruct people, but he thinks it will be interesting to do so, and it doesn't matter whether he accepts it or not.

As soon as the tourism plan was approved, the employees of the trade department dispersed.

After all, there are a certain number of celebrities, middle-class and wealthy people lurking among the employees of the East Galaxy Company, they know many potential customers, and based on the introduction of acquaintances, there is no need to worry that the other party will not believe it, so it is easy to pull the first batch of 15 guests.

Another group of employees in charge of hotel construction teamed up with Renault, who is good at urban development, to set up camp 5 kilometers away from the base, where they had the opportunity to see the beautiful moon sea nearby, the majestic crater, and the black canopy with stars hanging overhead, which is the most suitable place for hotel construction in the surrounding area.

With the assistance of mining vehicles, the ground is excavated to create an underground space, so that the cost can be saved to the greatest extent, and when the underground space is completed, the surface construction will follow.

The hotel is named Guanghan Palace and includes 5 floors of ground part,

There are 60 rooms on the 3rd floor of the basement, and additional facilities include a restaurant, gymnasium, billiard room, etc., in short, to provide a comfortable environment as much as possible.

The last wave of people is in charge of planning the trip, and they are the ones who are most under pressure because it is their creative ability that is tested. The 15-day journey, even if you leave half of the free time for guests to learn about space life, can still arrange a lot of projects, if it is too boring and monotonous, it can barely attract guests in a short time, and when these guests who have come to experience space life are consumed, the rest are all guests who want to see the beautiful scenery of the alien planet, and the attraction of sightseeing is bound to be greatly reduced. &&&& I made a small patch to the 11 chapters, and it actually said that I forgot that the pioneers came from all over the world and that the language was not spoken&&&
