'Just a simple renovation?' Li Jiayun hesitated, saying, 'The renovation of our hotel has only been going on for half a year...'
Hotel renovation is not a trivial matter. It takes a long time and costs a lot. If the renovation does not improve the hotel much, the loss of customers during the renovation period will also be a significant loss.
'Just a simple renovation, using some special materials and props, will not affect the operation of our hotel. This is the plan. You can take a look later. Some special materials and props will be delivered later...' Lin Yun said with a slight smile.
He handed Li Jiayun a brochure in his hand. He had asked the shopkeeper to give it to him when he bought the jacuzzi. The material is paper from the Blue Star.
'This...this effect?' Li Jiayun started to casually flip through the booklet, but she was soon taken aback and hurriedly continued flipping through it.
The renderings in this booklet were really superb.
She couldn't imagine that their hotel could be decorated like this.
This style of decoration was also one that she had never seen before.
'Boss, can our hotel really be decorated like this?' Li Jiayun looked up at Lin Yun, a little excited.
If their hotel could be decorated to look like the effect in the picture, she was sure that the flow of customers to their hotel would increase very quickly, and that the price of staying at their hotel could even be increased a little more.
'Of course it can,' Lin Yun smiled.
The decoration is just a small auxiliary, and the jacuzzi is the most important thing.
He believes that even without all this decoration, as long as the jacuzzi is there, their hotel can also become a top hotel in Shenzhen.
Because the Jacuzzi he purchased from the Universal Trading System cannot be copied by Blue Star Technology, as long as guests want to use this Jacuzzi, they must stay at this hotel.
However, it is not a bad thing to make the decoration a bit better to make customers feel more comfortable.
At least, in terms of price increases, customers will find it more acceptable.
'This is a batch of Jacuzzis. In the afternoon, I will have someone deliver them, and they will be installed along with the renovation materials and props...' Lin Yun continued.
'Jacuzzis?' Li Jiayun was surprised, and then she nodded and said, 'Okay, boss.'
Although the positioning of their hotel was not too high-end, it was not too ordinary either, so the worst rooms in their hotel were also standard rooms. Each room had an independent bathroom, and the area was not small, so there was no problem putting a Jacuzzi in one.
Just then, Li Jiayun suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but hesitate, 'Right, boss, the decorators...'
The renderings were very strange, and she didn't know if Lin Yun had made any arrangements for the decorators.
'Most of these things are installed directly, they're not difficult to install, just find some decorators, have them read the instructions, and they'll be able to do it. I'll have someone find the decorators,' Lin Yun said after thinking about it.
The owner of that store was quite considerate of his customers and came up with a variety of decoration plans.
The more convenient option for buyers who are not afraid to spend a little more mental energy is to buy a decoration robot. Decoration robots have many built-in decoration programs, which can not only install these things, but also do a lot of the decorating work. If you don't need the robot to decorate anymore, you can even enter other programs to make the robot do other things, so it can be used for multiple purposes.
This solution is more suitable for buyers who already have a certain level of strength. Not only can they afford to buy a decoration robot, they can also create a certain amount of personal space. Or, technology has developed to a certain level of civilisation, and decoration robots are already a common sight in the buyer's civilisation, so it is not conspicuous to just buy this type of robot to do the work.
There are actually many options for this solution. After all, people who have access to the trading system can easily develop a certain level of strength. For example, Lin Yun can completely give the employees of the hotel some days off, and then use the purchased robots to renovate the hotel during those days.
Some buyers even made their fortunes with this project, building hotels in their civilizations, then sealing them off and letting the decorating robots work inside. They didn't even buy just one decorating robot, but many, because one couldn't keep up with the speed of hotel construction.
It's just that Lin Yun is temporarily reluctant to do this. If he does, it will seem a bit abrupt in many places.
There are also prompts on the Universal Trading System, telling the owner of each Universal Trading System terminal to be careful when starting development. There have been many hosts who have just acquired the Universal Trading System and then died because they were too showy.
The second option is to purchase various materials and props, and the buyer will find a decorator in the civilization to install them. For this reason, the various materials and props manufactured by the shop owner are very easy to install, but the installation speed is much slower than that of the decoration robot. There are also many buyers who choose this method.
Lin Yun was planning to choose this second option.
In fact, there are other options, but they are not quite suitable.
For example, buying a high-end robot that looks almost like a normal human being and can even communicate with people briefly. However, even the cheaper ones are not cheap, and there is the possibility of being discovered. Lin Yun can't keep staring at the other person working because of this, and the cost-effectiveness is not high. After thinking about it, Lin Yun gave up this option.
'This way of decorating is fast, but in order not to affect the hotel's business, let's decorate ten rooms a day, and we can also slowly recommend this type of room to guests!' Lin Yun said, 'Then there's the pricing of the renovated rooms!'
Li Jiayun perked up immediately.
Pricing the rooms is very important.
After all, you have to make the customer feel that it's worth it. Otherwise, no matter how well you decorate it, if the price is too high, no customers will want to come, which is like working for nothing.
Who doesn't want to decorate their hotel a little better?
Who doesn't want to stay in a better hotel?
Price is a major issue here!
'At first, to build a reputation, we can set our prices a bit lower, let's say... 90% off!' Lin Yun thought for a moment and said.
'Boss, isn't 90% off too cheap? And, with the rooms decorated like this, how should we price the regular rooms...' Li Jiayun immediately became perplexed.
Li Jiayun's worries were not unfounded. The price of a regular standard room in their hotel was 300-400 yuan.
In her opinion, the maximum price for a standard room after renovation would be 600-700 or 700-800 yuan, and a 90% discount would mean 60-70 or 70-80 yuan, which is several times lower than the price of a standard room. It's simply losing money to make a name for yourself. As long as customers are not stupid, they will know which room to choose. Moreover, at the beginning, there will definitely not be too many renovated rooms, and many customers will not be able to stay in this type of room, so I'm afraid they will have some opinions...
And, the most important point is that it is easy to lower prices, but difficult to raise them!
Once such rooms are available at a greatly reduced price in their hotel, not only will the other rooms become less saleable, it will be difficult to raise the price again in the future!
'If the price is too high, I'm afraid very few customers will be willing to try these rooms. After all, the occupancy rate of our hotel is not very high. Pricing at a 90% discount and raising the price later will be easier...' Lin Yun shook his head.
He doesn't care about short-term gains. What he wants is to quickly establish a reputation.
'Pricing at a 90% discount and raising the price later is easier...' Li Jiayun choked. She didn't expect Lin Yun to think like this.
She was about to warn Lin Yun that she was afraid she was wrong when Lin Yun asked, 'What is the price of the most expensive standard room in our hotel?'
'1,388 yuan, but no one stays there. Most customers stay in the 300-400 yuan standard rooms, and some customers stay in the 500-600 yuan rooms. The more expensive rooms are rarely occupied...' Li Jiayun said with a bitter smile.
'Then let's renovate the ordinary standard rooms that cost 300 to 400 yuan first. We'll set the price at 666 yuan, a discount of 33%, and when our reputation is established, we can renovate the more luxurious rooms and set the price at 888 yuan or 999 yuan...' Lin Yun thought for a moment and said.
'What?' Li Jiayun was stunned.
'Boss, are you saying that the original prices are 666 yuan, 888 yuan, and 999 yuan?' After a moment, Li Jiayun asked cautiously.
'What I want to create is the top hotels in the entire city, even the entire country, and the entire world. Are 666, 888, and 999 the room prices of top hotels?' Lin Yun looked at Li Jiayun and almost laughed out of anger, saying.
