"Bernard called."

Tianci Capital.

Employee Cafeteria.

I must say, the chef's skills are quite good. I've heard that even the service staff here are directly hired by the HR department, under Li Shao's supervision, rather than outsourced.

"What did he say?"

Jiang Chen took a bite of chicken leg.

Opposite him, Li Shao smiled, "Just as you said, Disney has given in."

Jiang Chen smiled, seemingly unsurprised, calm as ever, "We should seize this opportunity to discuss conditions with them properly."

"What suggestions do you have?"

Though the shares were given to him, for related issues, it was necessary to consult, rather than request advice, from the former Institute Flower Li, who despite her cold demeanor is definitely a smart girl.

— Now she should be considered a woman.

"The issue of outside food should be improved; we shouldn't focus on this kind of petty benefit."

"This is not petty; tourists' consumption is a crucial part of the park's revenue. The price of a drink inside is more expensive than a meal here."

Li Shuru explained.

Actually, she didn't need to remind him. Boss Jiang has consumed in Tokyo Disneyland before; it's indeed not cheap.

Doing business isn't charity; this is the fundamental principle. Even though Boss Jiang has the ability to give back to society now, there's no reason to demand others to follow suit.

Imposing moral obligations is unacceptable.

"Pursuing profit is understandable, but strictly forbidding all outside food and even going to extremes to check tourists' bags is inhumane. The public's resentment over this has long reached boiling point. I think letting tourists carry a little snack is no harm."

Li Shuru nodded, "I'll note that."

Jiang Chen smiled, holding his chopsticks, "Also, crowd management needs to be controlled; otherwise, the visitor experience will be greatly reduced."

The extent of Disney's overcrowding is evident from the queue at the gates.

It's like a bus, clearly having a capacity limit of fifty people, but stuffing in one or two hundred instead; one can only imagine how suffocating that would be.

Not just Disney, many popular parks operate over capacity, and the daily number of visitors exceeds the standard limits.

The enthusiasm of visitors is theirs to have, but as operators, there's a responsibility to regulate. Yet profit-driven, the park ignores this and lets visitors suffer queuing for hours.

"Disney might not agree."

Loosening the restrictions on outside food is insignificant, but limiting tickets and crowds is like cutting into the main artery.

Limiting the flow means pushing away money that's almost in hand, and anyone would find it hard to accept.

"Disney needs to reassess its current business model to maintain its reputation and hard-won brand value, or it risks being abandoned by the public sooner or later."

If someone else were to say this, it would be considered grandstanding and laughable, but coming from Boss Jiang...

At least Li Shuru took it seriously and was considering it.

"Slow and steady, with accumulated potential, in business, profitability and sustainability often can only be chosen between; it's about deciding wisely."

"The problem is you didn't give them the right to choose." Li Shuru joked.

Jiang Chen chuckled, "Disney has grown to its current scale and gained world renown; surely, it understands the rationale. It's just the enthusiasm of the local people has clouded its judgment, elevating it to the status of a high and mighty Princess and Goddess."

As one of the "Goddesses," Li Shuru naturally expressed dissatisfaction.

"Speak nicely."

Only then did Jiang Chen realize the misinterpretation in his analogy.

Not even a goddess is that domineering.

If visitors are sycophants, Disney hasn't even regarded these sycophants, nor treated them as human.

And Li Shuru—at least initially—respected him.

Hmm.

It's a kind of respect in terms of personality.

"I don't think there's any intention to defame women."

Jiang Chen immediately clarified his stance, "Disney wants long-term development in the Shen Zhou Market, and also to protect the lasting interests of us shareholders. Improvement is urgent, and actually, it isn't so difficult; eliminating the problem will initially cause pain. If the daily flow can be reduced by a quarter, the visitor experience will be greatly enhanced, greatly benefiting Disney's reputation and brand value."

Li Shuru nodded, "I'll negotiate with Bernard."

Jiang Chen didn't know he was being blacklisted in the western world, encouraged his girlfriend, "If Disney accepts, fine; if not, we will stop our losses in time. A company focused only on the immediate present has limited value worth much effort."

Disney, a top global entertainment company and an upper-middle performer of the world's top 500, was simply described as "a company?"

Boss Jiang certainly borrowed the occasion to imply and subtly teach his girlfriend to view problems with an investor's perspective, but it seemed a bit exaggerated, right?

Key point is, Li Shuru also played along, lowered her head to eat, and responded with "Uh-huh."

"Hope I'm not interrupting your private moment?"

Master Luo also came to eat, after all, the cafeteria's aroma indeed doesn't lose to that of outside restaurants.

Although polite in speech, before anyone replied, he already sat down with his plate.

One must say, Luo Peng has been quite diligent lately; he seldom arrives late or leaves early. Could it be because Boss Jiang, the founder, is here?

"There are so many empty seats, yet you insist on being a third wheel?"

Jiang Chen wasn't guarded, fortunately, Li Shuru is not a shy person.
