Chapter 698 Running in both directions
"Zhen cake, Zhen cake that is not sweet and does not cost money!"
"Thousand-layer puff pastry, pea yellow cake, tiger skin pastry, persimmon cake!"
"The souvenir, the Dongxing giant panda commemorative doll, only costs 10 yuan, and they sell for 30 each!"
“Boss, do you want a tour guide? I’ll take you in cheaply and I can even take photos!”
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of Pingyang Zoo, I saw an extremely lively scene. Tourists, vendors, small scalpers, and people who made a living from this animal park were intertwined with each other to form the fireworks of this era.
Seeing Li Dongling and his entourage coming, several people immediately came over. Those who wanted to act as tour guides, sell souvenir dolls, and promote their own delicacies all came together in a swarm.
Fang Peigang, the general manager of the animal park who had just come out and was about to greet Li Dongling, almost felt like the sky was falling when he saw this scene.
"What are you doing?!"
When I saw Fang Peigang, as well as He Zehai, Director of the Pingyang Giant Panda Research Center, Professor Qian Zhicheng and others, although the vendors did not recognize them, they saw a group of security personnel following them. These people also knew that they were the leaders of the animal park. A group of small vendors ran away in a hurry.
Li Dongling patted the shoulder of the security guard blocking the front, and then said to Fang Peigang, "Manager Fang, it's quite lively here!"
During the Spring Festival this year, Li Dongling gave Yang Zhigao, who had been with him all year round, a long holiday, allowing him, his wife, and their children to spend the Spring Festival together. During this period, other security personnel were responsible for Li Dongling's safety.
Hearing Li Dongling's words, Fang Peigang showed a slightly embarrassed look on his face, "In fact, since the opening of the animal park, the number of tourists who have come during this period has exceeded our expectations!"
By saying this, Fang Peigang did not mean to shirk responsibility. Indeed, the number of tourists who came to the animal park exceeded their expectations.
On the opening day of the Lunar New Year, Binh Duong Animal Park received more than 84,000 visitors, setting a new record for single-day visitors to domestic theme animal parks.
This is almost two or three times more than the number of tourists expected by the management of Binh Duong Animal Park. You know, Binh Duong Animal Park charges tickets. The ticket is 25 yuan per person. This price is really not cheap nowadays.
Nowadays, many zoos only charge a few yuan for admission, or even a minimum of one yuan for admission. Of course, the fees are different, and the scale and types of animals are naturally different.
The price of Binh Duong Animal Park is not low, but the facilities inside are all newly built, and many beasts have been introduced. There are a complete range of animals, as well as some performances, restaurants, sightseeing cars, tourist entertainment facilities, etc.
Compared with the tickets for Pingyang Animal Park, there are many more expensive ones, such as the ticket for Yangcheng Xiangjiang Wildlife World is 100 yuan, and the ticket for Liaodong Forest Animal Park is 120 yuan. In comparison, the pricing of Pingyang Animal Park can only be regarded as quite satisfactory.
“Now we don’t have enough manpower, so we can’t just receive and manage the tourists entering the park, and the outside world really can’t take care of them!
Outside Binh Duong Animal Park, the management is a bit chaotic. This is my responsibility! ”
Fang Peigang entered the park with Li Dongling and others. He did not evade responsibility, but directly took over.
Fang Peigang had heard some rumors about Li Dongling. He knew Li Dongling's character. He used tricks in front of Li Dongling, which was to dig a hole for himself. He thought he didn't die quickly enough, so he might as well take the responsibility.
With the current status of Pingyang Animal Park making a lot of money every day, Fang Peigang still wants to work for a few more years.
No one expected that after the opening of Binh Duong Animal Park, there would be such a large passenger flow, with a single-day ticket receipt of 2.1 million. Coupled with the souvenirs, restaurants, etc. sold in the park, now Binh Duong Animal Park has Revenue can reach 25.6 million.
Binh Duong Animal Park has become a favorite of Binh Duong City. This is a project invested and built by Binh Duong City and Tanglin Hi-Tech. Although according to the original agreement, Tanglin Hi-Tech paid for the construction and then recovered the cost by collecting ticket fees.
Originally, the Pingyang City Government felt that Tanglin Hi-Tech wanted to recover its costs, but it did not know that it would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
Considering the current revenue capacity of Pingyang Animal Park, even if the revenue is reduced after the holidays, there is still a chance for Tanglin Hi-Tech to recover its costs within two years.
At that time, the Binh Duong Animal Park’s revenue will be divided according to the agreement between Binh Duong City Hall and Tanglin Hi-Tech Logistics Department. In the later period, Binh Duong City Hall will be able to get 40% of the ticket revenue. For Binh Duong City Hall, it is already a small treasury. existence!
Moreover, the scene at the gate of Pingyang Animal Park is indeed not the result of Fang Peigang's indulgence, but a real lack of manpower.
During the Spring Festival, so many people flocked to the animal park. The huge passenger flow naturally attracted many small traders and vendors to do business. Naturally, there were ghosts and monsters inside, which was inevitable.
Li Dongling turned back and glanced outside, without any intention of blaming Fang Peigang, "Things outside still need to be managed, at least we can't let scammers run rampant!"
People rely on mountains to eat mountains, and people rely on water to eat water. With the emergence of Binh Duong Animal Park, there will definitely be many people who rely on it to make a living.
It is impossible for all of these people to work in Binh Duong Animal Park. They can only sell some commemorative snacks and snacks at the door, work as transportation drivers, etc., and earn some hard money to support their families. With these livelihoods, many families can be supported. There is no need to kill them all. These people are supporting their families. It is understandable that they can be allowed to make a living here.
But they can make a living by relying on Binh Duong Animal Park, but they cannot defraud tourists who come to the animal park. Every time they deceive one, the reputation of the animal park will deteriorate until it completely collapses.
By then, they won't be able to make any money, and Pingyang Animal Park will also be in trouble. Li Dongling will not allow it. Tanglin Hi-Tech has invested so much money in a project, and it will be messed up just because of a few mouse droppings!
"I know. Tonight, we will work out a management plan and start sending people to implement it tomorrow!" Fang Peigang also said vigorously.
There are many people outside at the entrance, and once inside, there are also many tourists, especially in some popular animal areas.
"Wow!"
"It jumped!"
A huge exclamation came, followed by a low roar. Li Dongling, Yao Luoying, Li Dongyue and others also attracted attention. They were hugging each other, with Yao Luoying in her left hand and Li Dongyue holding Miao Jiahui in her right hand. , immediately pulled the two of them and ran over.
Li Dongling, Li Dongshan and others also walked over and saw the breeder putting some pieces of meat in. A tiger jumped up high and took the meat in one mouthful, causing a crowd of exclamations.
On the one hand, this is feeding, and on the other hand, it also refreshes the tiger that is lazily sleeping in the tiger house. You have paid for a ticket to come in, so you can't watch it sleep. It is not a giant panda. Someone took pictures...
"This is the Siberian tiger, also known as the Siberian tiger. At the end of this year, we are going to introduce another female tiger and try to breed them!"
Fang Peigang said to Li Dongling. At this time, Qian Zhicheng, who was standing behind, muttered, "They should be put into wild reserves for breeding. If they continue to be bred, they will be useless!"
Hearing this, Fang Peigang, He Zehai and others just pretended not to hear it. Everyone knows the truth, but in the current environment, poaching occurs frequently. How long can even a tiger survive in the wild? In some places, this thing can They are all extinct and rely on artificial breeding to survive.
Furthermore, Pingyang Animal Park, Liaodong Forest Zoo, and Yangcheng Animal World often require investments of several hundred million. Pingyang Animal Park costs 210 million, and Yangcheng Animal World costs over 400 million.
With so much money invested, it is impossible to put a few Peppa Pigs in to do science popularization of public welfare animals, and to do science popularization, someone has to watch.
Li Dongling looked at the tiger house in front of him. No matter what other animal parks were like, Pingyang Animal Park was fully equipped with rockeries, grassland, pools, and indoor resting places.
Moreover, the entire tiger house is large enough to give it enough space to move around. The food it feeds every day is much better than what ordinary people eat, and it is also better than its hungry cousins in the wild. We are living a much more comfortable life.
Just like the Internet celebrity wolf in Hoh Xil in his previous life, he was tired of eating egg yolk pie and could even recognize the logos of Land Rover and Jaguar.
It is more interested in egg yolk pie, KFC, and chicken drumsticks than Tibetan antelopes. It has even adopted a dozen of its younger brothers and follows it on the national highway to beg for food. This gives them an idea of the living conditions of these beasts in the wild.
Experts even jumped out and threatened that if the Internet celebrity wolf and its gang of brothers did not capture the Tibetan antelope, the grassland would be turned into a desert by the surging number of Tibetan antelopes...
These days, the roads in the zoo are quite wild. Li Dongling even saw someone running down, paying the administrator fees, and then, led by the breeder, running to take a photo with the tiger. Li Dongling's eyes jumped when he saw it. .
"This activity should be canceled in the future!"
Li Dongling said to Fang Peigang, who glanced at Li Dongling doubtfully and didn't know what Li Dongling meant.
"Nowadays, all zoos with tigers have this activity. A photo is RMB 20. If you ride on a tiger, it is RMB 50. We have security officers watching from the side!"
Who says the tiger’s butt can’t be touched? That’s because the current zoo doesn’t have enough money!
Now is an era where everyone is generating income, and zoos are also advancing with the times. There are activities such as taking photos, riding tigers, and feeding animals, which are important income-generating activities for zoos.
The main thing is that one dares to take pictures and the other dares to collect money. Both parties think that the other is sure. The one who collects money thinks that the other is not afraid of death. The one who takes photos thinks that the other party will definitely be able to protect him after accepting money. They go in both directions properly...< br>
The tiger who took another photo yawned lazily. Looking at the wide open mouth and the smiling man in the photo, Li Dongling broke into a cold sweat for him.
"Stop it. All group photos in the beast area will be stopped from now on!" Li Dongling said directly without further talking to Fang Peigang.
