Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Pei Qian was stunned for a moment before he nodded slowly.

Yes, that made sense!

It might be important to send Chen Kangtuo out to support Min Jingchao in earning commission but the new haunted house project of Thriller Hostel was more important.

Pei Qian knew that there would be no problem handing the haunted house project to him seeing the anger in Chen Kangtuo's eyes!

At the moment, the design of the haunted house was completed by Ruan Guangjian, Ma Yiqun, and Liang Qingfan.

However, these people could basically be removed after the initial construction of the design plan was completed.

The subsequent construction work had to be done by Chen Kangtuo and the construction team.

After making up his mind, Pei Qian said to Chen Kangtuo, "Since you're so determined, go back to Thriller Hostel and cooperate with Ruan Guangjian to complete the haunted house project!"

"However, Min Jingchao, you lack a assistant this way. Who do you think is more suitable to build this Tengda Cooperation Department with you?"

Min Jingchao rubbed his chin and decided on a suitable candidate after some thought. "Why don't we let Wu Bin follow me!"

Wu Bin was in charge of Tengda's recruitment examinations in the HR department. He was not the person-in-charge.

What's more, the HR department was not a key department in Pei Qian's eyes. Thus, he had not entered the plan of the person-in-charge's sub-base.

All in all, Wu Bin was definitely free.

In addition, he was a professional in human resource management. It was very suitable for him to be Min Jingchao's assistant.

Pei Qian was very satisfied with this distribution. "Alright, I'll send Wu Bin to follow you."

"This matter cannot be rushed. The two of you can go back and rest first. I'll release the news that Tengda's cooperation department is working with other companies to see which companies are interested in this."

"Once you've confirmed the name list, you can choose a company that you're most satisfied with."

"In addition…"

Pei Qian looked at Chen Kangtuo. "You're the person-in-charge of Thriller Hostel. If you see that the project is not bold enough when you get back, you have to remember four words: increase your strength!"

Pei Qian trusted Chen Kangtuo the most.

It was just like how he trusted Bao Xu deeply back then.

Pei Qian firmly believed that as long as he could continue to fan the flames from both sides, these two dragon and phoenixes would definitely be able to continue advancing on the path of mutual torture!

Chen Kangtuo was moved. "Don't worry, Boss Pei. I won't let you down!"

…

…

May 7th, Tuesday.

Chen Kangtuo returned to Thriller Hostel, feeling the warmth of home.

No, more accurately put, he was not returning to his home, but to his own position and the main battlefield!

From that moment on, Chen Kangtuo finally picked up his weapon and was about to shoot the first bullet to resist Bao Xu's Suffering Travels!

Chen Kangtuo arrived at Thriller Hostel's office and saw Ruan Guangjian and Ma Yiqun studying the Thriller Hostel's plan.

At the moment, Thriller Hostel had already been completed. The framework had been finalized, but some details still had to be studied and discussed.

For example, how should he arrange some written clues in Thriller Hostel? What exactly was the content? How should the details of the tour in Thriller Hostel be set?

These had to be discussed repeatedly!

Chen Kangtuo cleared his throat. The two people who were immersed in the research plan turned around and saw him.

When Ma Yiqun saw who it was, he was stunned. He immediately smiled and said, "Chen Kangtuo, you've suffered!"

Chen Kangtuo had lost a lot of weight and looked tanner. He must have suffered a lot.

Ma Yiqun and Ruan Guangjian had been on Suffering Travels before. They knew that Chen Kangtuo was probably being 'specially taken care of' by Bao Xu.

Chen Kangtuo smiled, pretending to be relaxed. "It's alright. It's all in the past. The key is in the future!"

He pulled a random chair over and joined the discussion on the new haunted house project.

Ma Yiqun and Ruan Guangjian briefly introduced the current design concept of the haunted house.

Chen Kangtuo understood it very quickly because this design idea was designed according to his previous idea.

Simply put, it was to turn Thriller Hostel into a real hostel!

The general style of the new haunted house project would continue the style of Haunted House Nightmare. In other words, they would use some common elements to achieve a better mental attack effect.

In the most extreme case, it could even require the adventurer to be locked up in this new haunted house project for a week or a month, even eating and sleeping!

The new haunted house was also related to Tengda's projects.

For example, the place to eat was similar to Fish-Catching Take-Out. It was equipped with Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and Deposit Fitness, but they were both in a scary style.

It was common for ghosts to appear from time to time!

Apart from that, there were also a few areas that would be more thrilling. They restored the experience of suffering in Suffering Travels.

For example, a certain hungry ghost abyss needed to climb rocks and climb up from the bottom.

There was also a small lake to swim through. However, the water surface would look strange under the light. Ghosts could be seen under the water.

In addition, there was also an interactive segment where the heads of the various departments could act as ghosts and scare the adventurers in various ways.

If he wanted to leave this place quickly, he would have to solve the riddle and complete the assigned task in various dangerous places to obtain the guidance of the text.

Ma Yiqun had carefully arranged all these information. He would not reveal the answer directly. He still needed to decode and interpret it.

What was even scarier was that once the interpretation failed, everything would return to zero and start over!

It was a perfect replay of the day when Bao Xu had just returned from his trip. He had not even had the time to pack his luggage before he was informed to resume the journey.

All in all, it was all to give the adventurers (especially Bao Xu himself) the greatest scare!

That's right! The tourists of this haunted house could no longer be called tourists. They were real adventurers!

Chen Kangtuo felt cold sweat on his back after reading this plan!

He had completed the Ultimate Horror countless times and knew the horror points of this current horror project like the back of his hand.

Even so, when he imagined this new haunted house project, he still felt his hair stand and shuddered!

It was so exciting! So exciting!

However, that was more interesting!

On one hand, the haunted house project was prepared for those who pursued extreme challenges. A haunted house that was not scary had no meaning to exist.

Those who were afraid of ghosts would not enter haunted houses in the first place. Those who entered haunted houses wanted to challenge themselves!

What's more, if this haunted house project was not scary, how could it stop Bao Xu?

Bao Xu had been to the haunted house in the Smog Mountain State Mental Hospital before. His spirit was as hard as steel. He was a very difficult enemy among the people in charge.

Wouldn't the money be wasted if this expensive haunted house failed to do anything to Bao Xu?

All in all, he had to make the haunted house as scary as possible in order not to fail the mission and waste Boss Pei's money!

However, Chen Kangtuo had a new idea based on this plan. "Gentlemen, I think we have to refine the specific rules."

"I have to say that this haunted house is absolutely horrifying!"

"However, I feel that it is a little lacking in flexibility."

"Brother Bao is someone who has been trained hard after all. This difficulty might be just right for him!"

"However, this is too cruel for ordinary tourists. I'm afraid not many people would have the courage to enter."

"I designed this haunted house to show Brother Bao some color, but I still hope that this project can make money."

"I cannot spend Tengda's money to stand up for myself, but I cannot consider taking back my capital. That would be too unprofessional! I would be letting Boss Pei down!"

Ruan Guangjian nodded. "The current version is indeed too scary. Once it's completed, timid people like me would definitely not dare to enter to play."

Ma Yiqun pondered for a moment and said, "From the game's perspective, we might be able to provide tourists with different difficulty options."

"However, this is a real scene after all, not a game. How should the difficulty be adjusted?"

Chen Kangtuo said confidently, "That's very simple. There are two main dimensions. One is time, and the other is manpower!"

"First, we require visitors to go through the Haunted House Nightmare before they can enter this new project.

"We definitely cannot experience it for a long time at the beginning. Tourists can only experience it for one to three hours."

"Tourists can cry for help and leave if they feel afraid."

"If the tourists feel like they haven't had enough and want to come again, we can add more time!"

"Other than that, visitors can also choose to enter together.

"That's because this place is huge. It would seem too wasteful if he were to play alone. It's very likely that he would not be able to find the clues. He would not be able to solve the riddle. He would only be wasting his time in the same place!"

"In that case, wouldn't the tourists not be able to experience the content that we have carefully prepared? That would definitely not do."

"As long as a few visitors are courageous enough to enter, they would explore the riddle on their own.

"That would be akin to turning the haunted house into a secret room for escape, but it would also further expand the group of tourists. I think it's a setting where the pros outweigh the cons!"

Ruan Guangjian and Ma Yiqun agreed on this point. "That's right! That would attract more tourists to enter the haunted house. We agree!"

The original design was to go in the scariest direction.

That was because if he had held back from the beginning, the final product would definitely be disappointing.

In the end, he realized that he had used too much force!

If they were to follow this design plan now, most visitors would probably be dissuaded. Only a few haunted house enthusiasts would have the courage to experience the entire process!

That did not match everyone's original intention for designing the haunted house.

The haunted house would not be wasted if visitors were allowed to experience the haunted house as much as possible!

Most tourists would be scared off by the five percent content at the beginning, just like the Mt. Fog mental hospital. Wouldn't the rest of the content be wasted?

This new haunted house project could start on a different scene by adjusting the time and number of people on the spot.

There were individual rounds and multiple rounds.

There were short-term and long-range matches.

It was just like how the ordinary hall of the cinema and the huge theater took turns to arrange.

Tourists could choose their preferred venue to experience based on their tolerance.

Thriller Hostel's official platform could also adjust the arrangements of the venues based on the number of applicants each time so that this new project venue could be used as efficiently.

Every once in a while, Thriller Hostel would be closed off and made into a special venue for everyone to 'experience' in depth!

Of course, this department head specially pointed at Bao Xu and his Suffering Travels!

At that thought, Chen Kangtuo became very excited. He could almost see Bao Xu being sent into the haunted house!

He could not wait to invest 120% of his passion into the haunted house project at the thought of this scene. He wanted to see it officially open for business!
