Chapter 27 Small Land Tanks

The iron gate of the shooting and hunting range has long been eroded by the years and has become rusty.

Not to mention the barbed wire fence built in the early years, which has long been useless. It is covered with vines and plants. The wild boars use this place as their old nest and come and go freely.

Su Rui originally planned to clean up the shooting range and reopen it.

Now it seems that it is better to completely overthrow and rebuild, so as not to be incompatible with the positioning of a luxury resort island and make tourists feel that spending money was wasted.

Anyway, I have been in the upper class circle for so long.

Su Rui knows that the key to doing business in the high-end service industry is not how strong the advantages are, but how weak the shortcomings are.

For example, a magnificent five-star hotel has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in renovations. Maybe it has received bad reviews and complaints from customers just because the ashtray was not wiped clean.

In this Internet age.

The lethality of customer reviews is not as simple as writing complaint letters in the early years.

In the past, the clerk could throw the complaint letter into the trash can as he wanted, as if nothing had happened. Anyway, other customers didn't know about it, and their influence was very limited.

The bad reviews left on the Internet may accompany Lanai for many years and affect the views of other potential customers.

So now that you decide to live in Lanai, you should seriously manage this private land.

Su Rui just wants to do everything to the best of his ability, not just make do with what he can. After all, in the tourism industry, anything that has anything to do with the word "high-end" is basically made by throwing money at it.

Not to mention laying a large lawn and shooting targets facing the sea, at least a comfortable environment must be provided.

The pile of dilapidated iron buildings in front of me is obviously not up to standard...

In just a few seconds, Su Rui decided to flatten the place.

In addition, in line with the idea of ​​not wasting, I plan to purchase machines to make bottled coconut water, provide it to hotel customers, and at the same time sell it to the outside world for some rations of big oranges.

He thought of a question at this moment, and asked Secretary Amanda:
"How big do you think my funding gap is, [-] million US dollars? [-] million US dollars? The airport has not been built, and the second resort hotel has not been settled. At least let me have a number first, so that I can have the motivation to work hard and make money."

Secretary Amanda shook her head and said:

"I don't know either. It mainly depends on the extent of Lanai in your mind. If you want to build a building like the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, it will cost more than a billion dollars in the blink of an eye. A small private airport, at least Both need 9000 million US dollars, even if you take out a full 30 billion, you can easily spend it."

"...Although it is very shocking, it makes sense. There is no need for the sailing hotel. Special hotels such as sand houses, tree houses, and water houses are more likely to attract tourists. Most of them live in cities. Compared with high-rise buildings In a building-type hotel, distinctive guest rooms are more attractive.”

As soon as Suri finished speaking, Amanda made up the knife and said:
"These special guest rooms are not cheap, and the materials have to be shipped from other places. I went to the Maldives for a holiday on the Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru Island during Christmas last year. I heard that the cost of a water house would cost 55 US dollars. When the labor cost is cheaper than Hawaii."

Su Rui raised his hand to stop Secretary Amanda, with a melancholy tone:
"Don't talk about it, I'm going to cry. You know, I'm impatient. Although I can always raise money after waiting, the feeling of waiting is very torturous."

Secretary Amanda shrugged with a smile on her lips and said:
"I believe you can. As the locals often say, this is Hawaii, and there is nothing to worry about except paying taxes and going to work on time."

"Having said that, it always seems that there is something unfinished, and it is inevitable that I will often think about it..."

Suri was speaking.

Inadvertently glanced at it, and unexpectedly found a huge wild boar, standing on the grass at this time, staring at his side.

He hurriedly patted Secretary Amanda, signaling to be alert to the movement of the wild boar.

In many places in the continental United States, there are often news of wild boars flooding and attacking humans. These guys have thick skin and thick flesh, and they have the nickname of "little land tanks".

If a big guy weighing seven to eight hundred catties ruthlessly attacks someone, his fighting power should not be underestimated. Even if he is only rubbed by them, he will probably be seriously injured, and even go to see God, his old man.

Lightly riding on the motorcycle, he bent down and carried the bewildered Daju to him.

Su Rui just waved and signaled Secretary Amanda to get in the car quickly, and in the next second, he saw a huge adult wild boar, whimpering and screaming, rushing towards this side with all his strength.

On the west side of Lanai Island, there are relatively few people. The local wild boars are used to rampant and wild.

The more flustered, the easier it is to make mistakes. Under Amanda's secretary's urging, Su Rui stepped on the old motorcycle twice and failed to start it. He couldn't help cursing: "Damn it! What a broken car!"

Seeing that the figure of the wild boar became clearer and clearer, there were still many younger brothers behind him.

When there were only ten meters left, the old Harley fat bully finally did not disappoint Su Rui, and a big cloud of smoke spewed out from behind.

He immediately shifted gears and twisted the accelerator, all in one go, and hurried away.

Secretary Amanda hugged Su Rui's waist tightly. When she turned her head and saw the wild boar standing on the path, she stopped chasing. She laughed and said excitedly, "It's so exciting!"

"Did they come after them?" Su Rui only looked at the road ahead, not daring to slow down.

"No, it's gone."

"That's good."

Stimulated by the adrenaline, his heart was still pounding. Su Rui finally felt relieved, and said, "How amazing is my brother? When I go back to the cattle pen, I will find someone to take revenge. I didn't offend them just now."

Secretary Amanda replied:

"It suddenly occurred to me that the trail in the coconut grove just now may have been stepped on by wild boars. To be precise, we have indeed violated their territory. If the wild boars often go to the town, the residents of Lanai Town will not easily Let them go, and the wild boars that can stay are often smarter and will not easily appear in inhabited places."

Su Rui heard what she meant, and continued:

"I don't really want to exterminate them. I can save them for tourists to explore. However, if we develop near the original coconut forest, there will inevitably be some conflicts with the wild boars. We need to be a little more vigilant. The old cowboy Andy must have more experience than me. It should be Know how to deal with wild boar herds."

Quickly returned to the gravel-paved fork road, looked at the road signs to distinguish the direction, and continued to ride forward.

Compared with the frightening herd of wild boars, the wild deer on the side of the road are much more docile. When they see someone, they will obediently give way, calmly gnawing on the pasture by the fence.

There are more than 3000 wild deer living on Lanai Island, and the number is still expanding rapidly.

Outside the town of Lanai, it is not uncommon to encounter wild deer than people.

Besides.

There are also some wild goats and wild turkeys living in the local area, most of which have accumulated over time and escaped from the residents' homes.

In order to protect endemic species in Hawaii, the state actually issues some hunting permits every year.

Since 98% of Lanai's land is privately owned, hunters cannot obtain authorization to enter, and exotic species such as wild boars and wild deer will increase rapidly.

Suri doesn't belong to the more extreme category of animal activists.

Compared with only knowing how to protect blindly, on an island like Lanai, it is more important to maintain regional balance.

For example, there are too many wild deer populations, and some unique plants in Hawaii will encounter disasters, and many of them have completely disappeared from the earth.

After shopping today, he found that the situation on this island seemed to be more lively than he had imagined. He thought that he might be able to properly release hunting activities to avoid flooding in the future...
