36: Chapter 36 Establishing Membership Rules

Gao Yuan originally didn't plan to make money from movies; a movie might make a few billion at most, but it takes too much effort. Selling two Photolithography Machines would cover it...

The reason for filming was for promotion...

In earth rescue, he product-placed the ‘wrist machine’, which is a 3D Interactive Communication Wristband. Gao Yuan felt this name was too much of a mouthful. Since phones used to be held in the hand, they were called mobile phones...

Since wristbands are worn on the wrist, calling it a ‘wrist machine’ wasn't wrong either!

Besides the wrist machine, there were also Constant Temperature Clothing, space tourism buses, low-altitude flying cars, intelligent robots, heavy fusion excavators, antimatter spaceships, and so on...

All these products bore the Black Fish Technology logo...

Although Black Fish Technology didn't have this many products yet, these were all products Gao Yuan planned to release in the coming years. If this movie became a hit, he could make a second and third installment...

Keeping the momentum going...

In the future, whenever a new product was released, netizens wouldn't be strangers to it!

So, this first one had to be a success...

If this one succeeded, any sci-fi produced by Salmon Film and Television in the future would definitely be a huge hit...

Gao Yuan thought for a moment: "Old Zhang, ask the staff for the planning map. The green areas on it all belong to our Black Fish Technology Industrial Park. The design institute is Jiangxin; you communicate with them. I'll handle the movie distribution. Let the people at the film company continue the promotion... You can buy some trailer ads, subway ads, and things like that!"

"Alright..."

After speaking, Gao Yuan returned to the Future World...

Now, the 2024 Club was setting up the scenes. Various landscape plants, potting soil, and potted plants were piled in the backyard. The research robots, originally intended for research, had now become porters, constantly moving things onto freight flying cars and then transporting them to the warehouse in the Future World...

Then they were moved from the warehouse into the club.

Gao Yuan also opened a door in his own backyard leading directly to the Daqing Mountain behind. The earth dug out, mixed with potting soil, was also transported to the Future World...

In the Gao Family backyard, besides Gao Yuan, everyone else was a robot. Outsiders were strictly forbidden...

In the 2024 Club, Wang Yifei Bingbing and Huangfu Shan watched as truckload after truckload of soil was pulled out of the warehouse, their mouths hanging open in shock...

"Boss, where did you get so much soil? It's not irradiated, is it?"

Wang Yifei Bingbing asked.

"Pulled it from outside!"

Lin Nanwu widened her eyes: "The soil outside is all irradiated. This... won't it be harmful to the body?"

Wang Yifei Bingbing said with a smile: "You're really easy to trick. Smell this soil; it's fresh and natural. How could it be irradiated soil? This is high-quality raw soil!"

As the potting soil was in place, the 2024 Club was quickly set up. Then, professional plant robots came to plant flowers, grass, and trees... These plants were all sprayed with a special liquid that guaranteed a 100% survival rate!

Gao Yuan still had to prepare some more things...

Besides plants and soil, there were also animals...

In the Future World, animals were even scarcer than plants because plants lived longer and few people ate them. But animals... no one could resist such good ingredients dangling right under their noses...

But there was no rush for the animals; they could be transported over before the opening ceremony...

The 2024 Club was being perfected at an extremely fast pace...

Ten dining scenes filled with plants, and ten sports scenes... or perhaps activity scenes would be more appropriate.

Because fishing and planting flowers weren't exactly traditional sports...

Gao Yuan wanted to create an original ecological lifestyle club from a thousand years ago...

To let these poor elites of the Future World know how their ancestors lived a thousand years ago and in what kind of environment...

Only Gao Yuan could achieve such a thing. He could imagine the scene: high-and-mighty elites spending a fortune to come to the 2024 Club just to experience picking corn...

Just thinking about it was amusing.

Gao Yuan's club used a point system, with membership levels divided into four tiers: Diamond, Gold, Silver, and Bronze.

For Diamond Members, eating, drinking, playing, and staying were all free.

All floors were open to Gold Members, but Gold Members had to pay. They could settle monthly, with a 50% discount on the overall price.

Silver Members had restrictions. Although they could also settle monthly, some scenes were not open to them...

Gao Yuan set it so that the 25th floor and above were the accommodation area, open only to Gold and Diamond Members.

Floors 18 to 25 featured rare scenes, such as fishing, equestrianism, a Primeval Forest Restaurant, a Tropical Rainforest Restaurant, etc...

These scenes were also open only to Gold and Diamond Members.

Floors 10 to 18 were relatively rare scenes, not open to Bronze Members, but Silver, Gold, and Diamond could all enter. However, the spending levels were different: Silver Members got no discount, Gold Members were half price, and Diamond Members were free...

Floors 5 to 10 were open to all members... Here, Silver Members got a 20% discount, and Bronze Members got no discount!

Below the fifth floor were the office area and warehouse! The club needed to keep a stock of daily greenery and supplies!

Membership levels were related to social status, but points could be earned through club tasks to upgrade membership...

For example, Qin Gang was a celebrity himself, and his son was the Secretary-General of the Human Federation, so Gao Yuan directly gifted Qin Gang a Diamond Membership.

According to social status, if a Continental Governor joined, they would be gifted a Diamond Membership!

Top experts in certain fields, Regional Governors, and heads of Global Industry Leaders would be Gold Members.

Well-known experts in the industry, scholars, and governors of first-tier cities would be Silver Members...

Entrepreneurs, wealthy individuals, and general officials who wanted to join would need to pay an annual membership fee of ten million and would be Bronze Members.

When Gao Yuan finished creating these membership rules and gave them to Huangfu Shan...

Huangfu Shan was amazed as she read them...

Wang Yifei Bingbing also looked on with admiration: "The boss is indeed the boss, quite ruthless... It seems like Silver Members and above don't need to pay annual fees, but in reality, the consumption they generate also yields enough profit... The only ones who truly don't need to pay are the Diamond Members, but they are brought in to hold the fort. When others want to build connections, they need to pay, while we don't spend a penny, and the other party is still very satisfied..."

Gao Yuan nodded: "The key is that our 2024 has the strength. If other clubs had our strength, they wouldn't need to pay either..."

"Bingbing, today you collect a list of public elite figures and categorize them according to my membership system. Then, send them invitations... Remember to explain that we have real scenes, real plants, real animals, and that Qin Gang has already joined! Send to Diamond Members first, and after they reply, send to Gold Members... The invitations for Gold Members should include the list of Diamond Members who have joined, and so on. When sending invitations to the Silver list, attach the list of Diamond and Gold Members..."

Wang Yifei Bingbing nodded, but then she asked: "What if some people's identities aren't public? Or if the other party doesn't reply?"
