Xu Shu was genuinely concerned about Chen Ge, so he did not hide anything and laid everything out on the table. "Do you still want to invest in the Haunted House?"
"I think we can give it a try. After all, the theme park isn't finished yet, so we still have a chance to turn things around." Chen Ge was relying on the black phone, and that was something he would not tell anyone.
"You look so smart normally, but how come you're so dumb at this crucial moment? Don't you understand the trend? I've stayed at this theme park for ten years, and I'm not any worse than you, but we have to face reality. " Xu Shu pointed at the few attractions that had stopped operating. "Do you know why they stopped operating? It's not because they didn't pass the maintenance, but once they started operating, they burned money. Only one or two people occasionally went to visit, and that was not enough. "Let me give you a more direct example. When the New Century Park first opened, it was packed, and there was not enough parking, so you had to go to the tenants next door to reserve a spot. Then the underground parking lot was built, and that eased the problem, but starting from three years ago, even during the peak holiday season, the parking lot on the surface has not been full. The number of visitors has decreased year by year, and this year, it reached a new low. "
"Xu Shu, wait a minute, you said that starting from three years ago, even during the peak holiday season, the parking lot on the surface has not been full? Doesn't that mean the underground parking lot hasn't been used for three years already? Like it's abandoned? "Chen Ge's eyes shifted, and it made Xu Shu uncomfortable.
"Yes, when the New Century Park first opened, there were cars and people everywhere, and you had to queue for one to two hours to play each attraction. That was the best of times, but unfortunately, it's been forgotten by the city." Xu Shu was reminded of the past and sighed. "But there's nothing to be sad about. At least we've had our glory days, don't you think?"
"Xu Shu, if I want to rent the park's underground parking lot, how much would it cost?"
"What?" Xu Shu was confused by Chen Ge's sudden thought. "Why are you suddenly asking that?"
"I want to use the underground garage since it's in a half-abandoned state. According to the park's situation, it probably won't be used anymore." A plan was already forming in Chen Ge's mind. It was a plan that could maximize the expansion of the Haunted House that came with the black phone.
"Are you crazy? What's the point of renting that place? Raising bats? "Xu Shu didn't know how to communicate with Chen Ge.
"I wish to expand the Haunted House. With my current financial situation, the underground parking lot is the most suitable place. The rent is not that expensive, and the environment will not affect the Haunted House too much." After all, the theme park would eventually find out what he was doing, so Chen Ge did not hide this from them.
"Are you possessed by a demon, kid? A three-story haunted house is not enough for you? Do you know how big the underground garage is? Even if I rent it to you, by the time you finish building it, the park will have closed long ago. "Xu Shu waved his hand." Don't be silly. Go back to work. "
"Xu Shu, I'm serious."
"Then do I look like I'm joking with you?" Turning on the walkie-talkie again, Uncle Xu walked toward the crowd. After a few steps, he turned back to tell Chen Ge, "I'll give you the 5,000 tomorrow morning. Just focus on your work and don't come up with all these weird ideas every day."
"Okay, got it." Chen Ge followed behind Uncle Xu. Looking at the crowd of visitors gathered at the Haunted House, he pouted. "I don't feel like the number of visitors is decreasing year by year. After all, my Haunted House has never had visitors before."
Squeezing through the crowd, Chen Ge walked to the medical students. "Guys, this is enough. Those who don't know might think I've done something to you."
"Give me some time. This Haunted House of yours is a bit scary."
"What are you looking at? I'm not afraid. I just sprained my ankle when I was inside, and that's why I can't stand up."
"What should I do? Everyone looks like a killer to me now …"
"Don't be so stubborn. This Haunted House is not normal." Monkey climbed up from the stairs. He waved the five-star rating on his phone and stood before Chen Ge. "But that's a different thing. Don't think you can make us surrender like this."
"What do you mean? You're still coming tomorrow? "
"If not for the exam tomorrow, do you think I wouldn't dare come tomorrow?" Monkey was full of vigor when he spoke ruthlessly. Unfortunately, his pale lips and trembling calves were a bit of a killjoy.
"Of course, you're welcome to come." Chen Ge was treating the students from Western Jiujiang Medical University as his mascot.
"I won't come again. Even if I'm beaten to death or jump down from the roof, I won't come again." Heshan looked at Chen Ge with resentment. He was really spooked by the eyes that peeked through the door.
"Junior, don't poison yourself." Xiao Hui pressed on Heshan's shoulders and stood up. She glared at Chen Ge. "You're the first man to make me cry until my make-up is ruined. I'll remember your face."
Looking at the bump on the back of Xiao Hui's head, Chen Ge did not have the heart to provoke her anymore. He merely smiled and did not say anything.
The medical students supported each other as they walked toward the theme park's entrance. After they left, Brother Feng ran back alone. He had a complicated expression on his face as he told Chen Ge, "After I calmed down, I thought about your question for a long time, but I still can't believe it. I think it might have something to do with the nerves in the brain and the human body's stress response."
Chen Ge knew what he meant. "Perhaps. By the way, I haven't asked for your full name."
"My name is He Feng. I'm older than all of them, and I'll be doing my internship in a few days."
"Okay, we'll meet again in the future."
After they exchanged phone numbers, Chen Ge returned to the Haunted House. He pulled up the gate and hung up the sign that said, "Closed for Maintenance."
"Boss, there are still many visitors waiting outside. Why are you closed? "
"There's a small problem, so we'll call it a day. Go explain the situation to the visitors." Chen Ge removed Doctor Skull-cracker's jacket and crawled into the props room. He cut out some black cloth and entered the Murder by Midnight scenario with it.
He covered the mirrors one by one, but there were too many rooms, and in the end, he ran out of cloth. This scenario is too big. Before the cameras are installed, I can't risk letting the visitors in. If something happens to them in the blind spots, the consequences will be unimaginable.
After locking the door to the Murder by Midnight scenario, Chen Ge went downstairs. Most of the visitors outside the Haunted House had left, and only one or two lingered.
"Xiao Wan, remove your make-up and get off work. We'll call it a day."
