Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 442 Crocodile Park
After about half a day of negotiation, the Greek customer placed an order of 100 million US dollars.This is only the first order, and the two sides will try to test their sincerity, degree of order completion, and so on.

In the afternoon, another Swedish businessman came over and fell in love with these exquisite bamboo products.

Cheng He was very excited. Of course he remembered how the bamboo weaving in Taohua Village was suddenly known.

At that time, Mr. Jiang Qianjiang went to the Hong Kong International Convention and Exhibition Center to participate in the art fair. It was the member of the Swedish royal family who personally praised a bamboo cow.

Now, there is another Swedish merchant in the store, so we must have a good chat about it.

When the Swedish businessman heard this, all members of their royal family praised it personally?Then you have to take a closer look, I didn't expect this kind of origin to exist.

In the afternoon, another order was negotiated. This order is also an order of 100 million US dollars, and the deposit has been paid.

When he was less busy, Cheng He calculated the schedule of these orders, and with the existing orders in Taohua Village, it might not be completed in two months.

To set up a factory and recruit people, we must set up a factory!To expand production.

There are also some more cautious merchants who plan to visit the production base of these artworks—the production base of Taohua Village before placing orders.

Of course, this is actually the normal state.In fact, there are not so many people who place orders directly at the exhibition.

Anyway, now that there is a platform like the convention center, the future order volume will be guaranteed to a certain extent, and expanding production is not blind expansion.

The future management and operation will be more formal.

……

The one-week exhibition was finally over. As they expected, the first three days were good. Four orders were received, and there were about a dozen potential customers. If the follow-up talks were good, there was at least half the chance of success.

Several of these potential customers proposed to visit Taohua Village.

After all, for them, hand-woven bamboo weaving naturally has a sense of age, which makes people feel advanced.For example, LV bags and Swiss watch movements are all handmade.

In short, when it comes to manual customization, people feel the dignity of the work-in terms of art, they may value it more?
Today, with the rapid development of high technology, it is rare to be able to insist on handmade.

Cheng He expressed his warm welcome to Taohua Village for sightseeing. Anyway, Taohua Village is also focusing on tourism, and there is no problem with the reception.

By the way, if there are many foreigners going there, should we hire some English-speaking tour guides in the future?
After all, there are not many foreign tourists in Peach Blossom Village, and Tang Wei can receive a group of them occasionally.If there are too many, relying on her alone is definitely not enough.

The one-week exhibition ended like this, but Cheng Xinxin was overwhelmed.Cheng He decided to take her to have fun for a few days.

During the week, Cheng Xinxin stayed at the exhibition during the day, eating and playing here, and when Cheng He and Bai Qian were busy receiving them, she could only play by herself.

Go to bed when you're bored, and eat after you're done sleeping—the taste is different here. After three days of eating cake, she still wants to eat the dishes made by her father.

But they live in a hotel, how can there be a kitchen for him to cook!Even if the hotel has them, they are only kitchen utensils for western food. There is no frying pan at all for heating bread or something!

I have no choice but to wait until the end of the exhibition in the evening and take her to find some Chinese restaurants. Although the changes are relatively large, I can still make do with it.

But Cheng Xinxin was suffocated.

In the last two or three days, it was better, and it was not so busy. Cheng He and Bai Qian could take turns playing with her for a while, playing games, or visiting other booths around to have a look.

So, as soon as the exhibition was over, Cheng He first took her to a crocodile park in this continent—it was said to be the largest crocodile park in the United States.

Once here, Cheng Xinxin screamed with excitement as if she had come to life.

There is a children's section here, and of course Cheng He brought her here first.

A rainbow-colored trampoline caught her eye, and when she ran to play on it, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do.

The playground facilities here are good, but there are not many people. At least there is no phenomenon of queuing up for half a day to buy a ticket, and then playing for 2 minutes.

Cheng Xin played happily, while Cheng He and Bai Qian sat beside her and looked at her. As long as they saw her shining smile, they felt that the happiness in life was nothing more than this.

Children are naturally sensitive to colorful things, and there is a crawling bed with a rainbow circle on the other side, which Cheng Xinxin also likes very much.

It is a kind of obstacle crawling amusement facility woven with ropes. The meshes of the weaving are large and small, so be careful when crawling. Of course, this is only for children.

Cheng Xinxin crawled up and down on it, and people sitting underneath could see the rainbow-colored net, a small figure that moved with her gravity, and from time to time her little feet went through the net and fell down like a little mouse. Shrunk back and continued to climb.

Sometimes when she was happy to climb, the little girl looked down through the mesh and saw her parents sitting on the bottom, with her head resting on her father's shoulders. She smiled and asked: "Dad, mom, guess what?" Guess where I am..."

She thought she couldn't see her through the mesh crawling on the bed!

Don't say that the mesh is so big, you can see clearly, even the traces of her weight hanging on it, you can clearly know where she is!
Bai Qian was amused by the little girl's thoughtfulness.Children really have everything written on their faces.

Cheng He deliberately didn't look at her, looked around, and said in the wrong direction: "Cheng Xinxin, I saw you, there you are."

Cheng Xinxin laughed out loud, and said, "Dad, you guessed wrong, I'm not there..."

Then it crawled forward like a loach.

Cheng He called her in another direction, teasing Cheng Xinxin to crawl up and down quickly.

After playing with these facilities, the family went to the Crocodile Lake.

This is a crocodile-themed park, and the crocodile lake occupies a large area.There are all kinds of crocodiles in it, including adult crocodiles several meters long and juvenile crocodiles tens of centimeters long.

Juvenile crocodiles do not live with adults, but in a slightly smaller pool.Look at the piles rolling in the muddy pool, just like fish caught in a net.

Maybe the crocodile species here are suitable for surviving in such a dirty place, swimming happily one by one.

Adult crocodiles are suitable for living in shallow swamps, so there are more crocodiles and the area of ​​swamps is also very large.The large area of ​​swamp also attracts many other animals that like to live in the swamp, as well as some birds and so on.

Therefore, it can be regarded as a natural paradise with a complete ecological chain.

When you come here, there will be more tourists, in twos and threes everywhere.However, after seeing the scene of a large number of domestic tourists, such a large number of tourists is not a problem at all in Cheng He's eyes.

Since this is a large swamp, there are winding bridges everywhere on the water for visitors to watch crocodiles at close range.

The bridge is about two or three meters high from the water, but the railing is as high as an adult's shoulder. The protective measures are not bad, but it does not affect the viewing of crocodiles.

The water surface in the swamp is very turbid. Visitors can throw some bread to the crocodiles, etc., and the crocodiles will scramble to grab food, just like a koi pond.

Crocodiles have a strong ability to hide. They are usually hidden in the water. When a prey comes close, it suddenly comes suddenly.

Sometimes when I look at the quiet area and see nothing, I think there are no crocodiles, but as long as I throw something into the water, those crocodiles will suddenly appear and fight for it.

Cheng Xinxin had seen crocodiles in the zoo before, but there were only two or three of them, not as many as here, so she was a little surprised and also found it amusing.

There are really a lot of crocodiles here. Fortunately, the bridge deck is strong and the guardrails are also very strong, which can give people a sense of security.

However, Cheng Xinxin didn't seem to be afraid of these animals, she even clamored to buy some slices of bread to feed the crocodiles.

She held a basket in her little hand, grabbed a piece of bread, and threw it out through the gap in the railing of the bridge. Seeing crocodiles scrambling for it and splashing water in the swamp, she cried out happily: "Dad, look at them eating!" Yes, they are eating..."

Cheng He watched from the side, and would tell her from time to time: "Xinxin, don't stretch out your arms..."

Although crocodiles can't jump so high, and the railings are very dense, you still have to be careful.

However, it seemed that these animals were naturally close to Cheng Xinxin, and wherever she was, the animals would be quieter and follow her footsteps.

It's the same now, ever since Cheng Xinxin threw bread into the swamp to feed the crocodiles, the crocodiles closest to her have been swimming forward following her consciously or unconsciously.

The little girl was not afraid at all. After walking a few steps, she threw a piece of bread into the water and let the crocodile snatch it.

Just as she dropped another piece of bread on the water, suddenly there was a "poof", a giant white bird flew over from nowhere, flew across the water, and took the bread away lightly.

The crocodile was robbed of its food, and immediately pursued it vigorously, but how could the clumsy crocodile be the opponent of Asuka?The big white bird flapped its wings and flew away immediately.

Cheng Xinxin's eyes widened in shock, this bird is so fast!
Then she asked, "Daddy, what kind of bird is that? It looks like Chirp, except it has a black tail."

The bird is really white all over, with thin and long legs. It is very big and has a long neck. Only the tips of its wings and tail are a little black. It looks very good.

Cheng He said: "This should be a white stork, it looks a bit like a crane."

Cheng Xinxin had never heard of what he said, but now she saw it with her own eyes.She said she looked like Jiujiu, but she was all covered in white and very big.

But the white stork has a long and red beak, and Jiujiu has a flat beak, which is different.

Just as she was talking, Bai Qian said, "Hey, that bird is flying back again, take a quick look."

No, the white stork that grabbed the food just now flew back and rested on the bridge.

There are tourists everywhere on the bridge, and it is not afraid at all.This guy stood on one foot, with a calm and proud expression, as if the world in front of him was his world.

It stood here, getting closer to the tourists, and Cheng Xinxin could see it more clearly.

For her, Jiujiu was the biggest bird in the past, smart and beautiful, and she listened to her words. She never thought that there were other beautiful birds in the world.

The little girl is really knowledgeable.
