After the trip to Moscow, Yu Dong did not go back to Jinling, but went directly to Rongcheng. He was going to attend the Galaxy Awards ceremony. If he went around Jinling again, he would not have enough time.
After arriving in Chengdu, from the airport to Jinjiang Hotel, you can see banners celebrating Yanjing's successful bid for the Olympics from time to time.
Xiao Li, who came to pick up Yu Dong, smiled and said, "Teacher Yu, Yanjing has really done you a disservice this time by bidding for the Olympics."
Yu Dong smiled and looked at Xiao Li who was driving. In fact, he could no longer call people Xiao Li. Xiao Li was now in his thirties and was the director of the Overseas Department. It had been a long time since Yu Dong first met Xiao Li.
Nearly ten years have passed, and the first person Yu Dongjin met when he came to Science Fiction World magazine was Xiao Li.
"Director Li is joking. We already have a guaranteed chance of winning the Yanjing Olympics. Me going is just the icing on the cake."
"Teacher Yu, you should call me Xiao Li. It's too weird to call me Director Li. I'm not used to it."
"You are the director."
"Otherwise, you can just call me Director Xiao Li."
"Director Xiao Li, that's a pretty good title."
"Well, I'll call you Director Xiao Li. It sounds comfortable to me. Teacher Yu, I watched your speech at the conference several times. It was really wonderful. Although the speeches of other representatives were also very wonderful, relatively speaking, it was you.
The speech is more down-to-earth.”
"It's just taking the wrong approach." Yu Dong smiled, "I'm different from others. Everyone is more tolerant of me. Even if my speech is not so serious, no one will think anything of it."
"Teacher Yu, you are too humble." Xiao Li chuckled, "Even if everyone is more tolerant of you, it is because of your talent."
Yu Dong pursed his lips and smiled. Xiao Li is good at everything, but he loves to compliment others too much. He doesn't just compliment himself, he basically compliments the writers who work with their magazine.
Both Liu Cixin and Hu Changqing have basically said this. They also joked that Xiao Li is suitable to work at Deep Space Company. Everyone knows that the corporate culture of Deep Space Company is to praise people.
Yu Dong knew that if he continued to talk to Xiao Li about himself, Xiao Li would be praised endlessly, so he took the initiative to change the topic, "Besides me, who else arrived first?"
"Teacher Fu Shui and Teacher Wang Jingkang came yesterday, and today Teacher Liu Cixin, Teacher Yang Peng, and Teacher He Hongwei are also here. When I left the hotel just now, they were all in Teacher Liu Cixin's room."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "Lao Hu and Lao Wang must have gone out drinking last night, right?"
Xiao Li smiled and nodded, "Yes, and our Editor Tan, the three of them went together."
Yu Dong nodded. He was not surprised at all that these three people went out to drink. As old people in the science fiction world, these three people formed a senior group. Not to mention the Galaxy Awards ceremony, even in ordinary times, they would be together as long as they had time.
Get together.
In the past, they gathered more often in Chengdu. In the past two years, because Tan Kai and Wang Jingkang often had official business to go to the Deep Space Company, they went to Jinling more often.
It is relatively cost-effective for them to drink in Jinling because they can go to the canteen to earn points.
Deep Space Company transfers points to the Star Cards of signed writers every year. Writers of different levels receive different points. Hu Changqing and Wang Jingkang are both relatively high-level writers, so they can earn a lot of points every year.
If these points are used for nothing else, it is more than enough for them to eat and drink.
…
The two chatted along the way and soon arrived at Jinjiang Hotel.
Not long after Yu Dong arrived at the hotel, Tan Kai and Yang Xiao knocked on his door.
As soon as he saw Yu Dong, Tan Kai gave Yu Dong a big hug and said, "The hero of the Olympic bid is back."
Yu Dong had expected this situation a long time ago. He knew that everyone would definitely mention the Olympic bid when he came back this time.
"I'm just adding icing on the cake. The real heroes are the other compatriots who are working silently behind the scenes."
Yang Xiao said with a smile, "There are heroes in front of and behind the stage. They are indispensable and you are indispensable. You don't have to be humble with us."
Yu Dong smiled and pointed to the sofa in the room, "You guys sit down and I'll pour you some water. It's just been boiled."
Tan Kai ran to the sofa and sat down with a smile, "Then I'm not polite. Actually, I didn't want to disturb you so early. This journey is not easy. I wanted to let you rest more. But I don't have much time, so I just
Coming to find you."
Yu Dong poured water for the two of them and said, "You are here just in time. I have nothing to do. I heard Jimmy say that Chengdu is planning to build a science fiction theme museum?"
Tan Kai waved his hand and said, "It's not a separate science fiction themed museum. We want you to open a branch of the deep space themed museum in Chengdu, completely with a science fiction theme."
Hearing this, Yu Dong pondered. He originally wanted to come over later because he heard from Jimmy that Yang Xiao and the others wanted to build a science fiction theme museum in Chengdu, so he came over in advance to chat with Yang Xiao and the others.
After pondering for a while, Yu Dong asked, "What do you need us to do in deep space? Is it money or something else?"
Yu Dong and Yang Xiao were both old friends who had known each other for ten years. Naturally, they didn't hide anything when talking, so they asked straight to the point.
Yang Xiao also smiled when she saw Yu Dong being so direct. She was also afraid that Yu Dong would make some detours with them and do Tai Chi. Now Yu Dong asked directly, which was exactly what they wanted.
"We don't want money, what we want is the name of your Deep Space. Deep Space is now a golden sign. If the science fiction theme museum hangs the name of Deep Space, it will definitely develop better. In addition, we hope that the branch library here can
Just like at the main library, you can use starry sky points. Don’t worry, the name is not in vain, we can pay you an appropriate fee, or you can make any requests."
"I don't care about the cost. What matters to me more is who will run it. Should Chengdu do it themselves or our people?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The management is done by us."
Yu Dong couldn't help but frown. If the management was left to others, many things would be out of control.
In fact, the science fiction theme museum does not make any money, at least in the first few years. Especially without the support of other supporting facilities in the deep space park, it can easily cause a large deficit.
There are not many ways to reduce losses. The most direct way is to increase the ticket price, but this will have a greater impact on Deep Space Company. The venue uses the name of Deep Space Company, and the ticket price has increased.
I would say it was a rise in deep space and not think about anything else.
Considering this problem, Yu Dong asked directly, "Can you keep the ticket price at the same price as Jinling Pavilion? And the commercial area inside, can you also maintain parity with Jinling Pavilion?"
Yang Xiao was stunned by the question because she had no way of giving this guarantee.
In fact, she doesn't have the authority to guarantee this.
Of course it is not their "Science Fiction World" who wants to open a science fiction themed museum. Although their magazine has made a lot of money over the years, many things have been updated in the magazine, and the equipment and office environment are getting better and better, they are not yet rich.
Go build a science fiction themed museum.
It is the local government that really wants to build a science fiction theme museum. Leaders of relevant departments have asked Yang Xiao a long time ago whether the success of the deep space park can be replicated in Chengdu.
Chengdu has been trying to develop local tourism in recent years, so it is particularly greedy for places like the Deep Space Park that attract tourists.
Jinling's tourism industry has developed very well in recent years. According to these leaders, the Deep Space Park must account for a lot of the credit for Jinling's tourism industry to develop so well.
However, Yang Xiao told the other party very clearly that the success of the deep space park is basically impossible to replicate in Chengdu.
The main reason for the success of the Deep Space Park is that the Deep Space Company is there.
Is it okay to switch to another company?
It probably won't work, even if it's similar in size to Deep Space Company. Deep Space Company has developed more comprehensively, with a few hands and a few hands. Most of the things in the Deep Space Park are their own, and
And very comprehensive.
The science fiction theme museum is popular because Deep Space Company has almost a monopoly on the best science fiction writers in the world. The music theme museum is popular because of singers such as Jay Chou, Mayday, and Sun Yanzi from Deep Space Company in recent years.
However, the leaders of the relevant departments still did not give up. After some research, since there was no way to replicate the deep space park, it would be better to just replicate a deep space science fiction theme museum.
In terms of science fiction, Chengdu still has some advantages.
After the direction was decided, the relevant departments asked Yang Xiao and others to act as intermediaries to coordinate this matter. It was not for nothing. They promised Yang Xiao that as long as this matter was completed, they would arrange for "Science Fiction World" in the science fiction theme museum.
New office space.
This promise was deep in Yang Xiao's heart. She had long wanted to change the magazine's office space, so she agreed to it.
Seeing that Yang Xiao could not give a guarantee, Yu Dong sighed slightly and said, "Sister Xiao, it is impossible for me to agree to such a thing. The deep space park has attracted many tourists. This is the result, and our purpose from the beginning was to attract more people
There are more opportunities for cultural activities. The Deep Space Park is provided for everyone to learn and experience various cultures, so the ticket price is set so low, and the price has never been increased."
"Many well-meaning netizens on the Internet advised us to raise the ticket price, for fear that we would close the park after losing money, or not concentrate on operations. Now the deep space park is not losing money, and can still make some money, but
This is supported by the huge passenger flow, and it took many years to go from losing money to making money. Of course, if the construction cost is included, the cost has not been earned back yet."
"If Chengdu wants to build a science fiction theme pavilion, is it willing to lose money like this? Probably not. In the end, the theme pavilion is likely to develop into a commercial venue, which is contrary to my original intention."
Yang Xiao quickly said, "Rongcheng wants to build a science fiction theme museum not to make money, but to develop the local tourism industry and attract more tourists to Chengdu. Therefore, even if the ticket price is increased, it will not increase too much.
.You also know that the tickets you ordered are really too low."
The tickets for the deep space park are really low, only 30 points, which if converted into RMB, is about two yuan to three yuan.
If it was ten years ago, two or three yuan would still be worth something, but in this era, two or three yuan is simply not enough.
Yu Dong probably knew what the local government was thinking. He thought about it and said, "If you just want to develop the local tourism industry and don't care about the profits, I think there is another option."
"What choice?" Tan Kai asked.
"That is, our Deep Space Company will really open a branch library in Chengdu. We will invest and operate it ourselves."
Upon hearing this suggestion, Tan Kai and Yang Xiao looked at each other, both looking like they were hesitant to speak.
Yu Dong wondered, "Why, isn't it good? In this way, Chengdu will not have to worry about losses, and it will also have an additional cultural building to provide citizens with a place for cultural learning and exchange, and it can also attract tourists."
No wonder Yu Dong couldn't figure it out. The local government's favorite thing was to attract investment. If the Deep Space Company paid its own money to build a science fiction theme museum here, the Chengdu government had no reason to refuse.
Yang Xiao pondered for a while and then said, "Yu Dong, let me just tell you. The Chengdu government promised us that if the science fiction theme museum can be built, it will provide us with an office space."
Yu Dong immediately laughed, "I thought it was nothing more than an office space. We can get one for you. Of course, the premise is that the land approved is large enough."
Yang Xiao nodded, "This is also a trouble. If you want to build a science fiction theme museum, the Chengdu government will definitely welcome it. But if it is all done by you, then it may not be able to grant you a very good land, and the area may not be as large."
It won’t be too big, and it’s certainly not as good as doing it themselves.”
Yu Dong smiled nonchalantly and said: "Then let's talk slowly. We can cooperate again when we are satisfied."
"Okay, I'll make an appointment with the leader later, and we can have a good communication. Of course I hope that the Deep Space Science Fiction Theme Museum can be settled in Chengdu."
"Well, I hope so too."
In fact, Yu Dong and Jimmy have long been planning to open a few more places similar to deep space parks in other cities. In China, they had previously considered Yanjing to follow Shanghai. Now that Yang Xiao and the others have mentioned this matter, they can also open Rongcheng.
Get on the list.
In the vision of Yu Donghe and Jimmy, before the 2008 Olympics, it would be best to build at least five more deep space parks, at least three domestically and at least two abroad.
Other deep space parks are definitely different from the deep space parks here in Jinling, because deep space parks in other places do not need as many office areas as here in Jinling, mainly various theme museums.
Moreover, Yu Dong discussed with Jimmy that the deep space park must be established as early as possible, because the deep space park must be placed in areas that have not yet been developed but have development potential.
On the one hand, it can obtain more land, and on the other hand, it can also cooperate with local planning.
