I became famous for writing ridiculous stories in ancient times

The rumormonger was not found, but Liu Changmiao came first.

Fu Wenyu looked at the plan on the table and asked Li Yi to invite him in.

But after Liu Changmiao came in, he looked at Fu Wenyu and hesitated to speak, with a strange expression. After a while, he whispered: "You, I have heard about you. My father is unwilling to accept you as his apprentice because he has no vision. But my brother is a good person. When my brother comes back, I will let him accept you as his apprentice. My brother is already a Jinshi, and he is better than my father!"

Fu Wenyu was about to pick up the plan: "..."

What is going on?

And Liu Changmiao, do you know that your father is talking about this?

Fu Wenyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, he explained, "I prepared an article and asked your father for advice. But he said he wanted to take in a younger person who had not yet formed his own style."

"And before I went, he had already taken in Tang Yishan as his apprentice."

"Although I didn't succeed in becoming his apprentice, your father said that if I have any problems in the future, I can ask him for advice. He is very happy to see that we have more scholars in Liuzhou, which is a good thing."

Liu Changmiao was half-believing and half-doubting, "...Really?"

Fu Wenyu nodded seriously, "That's true. If you don't believe me, you can go ask your father."

Liu Changmiao was relieved, but his expression was still a little strange. Obviously, he was curious whether Fu Wenyu was really "ashamed of not being able to become his apprentice" and "hiding at home and not being able to face people", but he was too embarrassed to speak.

Fu Wenyu ignored his entanglement.

He handed over the plan he had written, and then said: "Changmiao, I just have something to ask you, take a look at this and see if you are interested, I want to cooperate with you."

A thick stack of plans,

Liu Changmiao had a headache when he opened it.

"What is this?"

"It's a plan," Fu Wenyu explained: "I went to the small olive village that Zhenbei Hou gave me some time ago, lived there for a month, and then found a hot spring on a nearby mountain."

Liu Changmiao was obviously knowledgeable, and immediately shouted in surprise: "Hot spring!"

"Yes, it's a hot spring."

Fu Wenyu said: "I have bought that mountain and a piece of wasteland under the mountain, and I plan to build a hot spring villa on the wasteland under the mountain."

"I wonder if you are interested in this?"

Is there such a good thing?

Although Liu Changmiao is a little "unlearned" in studying, the Liu family is a big family in Liuzhou, and he still knows a lot in other places. So when Fu Wenyu said it, he understood what the other party meant.

But after reading the plan, he was still stunned by Fu Wenyu's idea.

He looked up and asked in surprise: "Is the hot spring villa similar to those hot spring pools in Beijing? But my brother said that the hot spring pools in Beijing are not real hot spring pools, but hot water boiled by the store."

"And what are the haunted house and carousel in the back?"

"What are bumper boats, slides, and treasure hunts?"

"Fishing, rafting?"

"Cuju, performances?"

"And fireworks!"

Liu Changmiao became more and more excited and asked eagerly: "Are you going to put all these in this 'hot spring villa'?"

Yes, according to Fu Wenyu's plan, all of these will appear in the 'hot spring villa', or the 'theme park'.

Because when he made the plan, it was set up according to the modern large-scale amusement park that integrates food, drink, entertainment and accommodation, mainly to make guests stay longer and spend more money.

Of course, it is impossible to make all the facilities, such as roller coasters, Ferris wheels, bungee jumping machines, etc., which are impossible, even for safety reasons, they must not be done. Otherwise, if one or two people die accidentally, especially those with status, Fu Wenyu will be in trouble.

So what he put in the plan are some relaxing projects.

For example, the "haunted house", "merry-go-round", "bumper boats", "slides", "treasure hunts" and so on mentioned by Liu Changmiao just now. In addition to these high-participation activities, there are also "cuju", "fireworks", "opera performances", "drama performances" and other purely viewing activities. And when you are tired of playing, you can soak in hot springs, which will definitely make those guests linger.

When there are more people, you can also build some houses to attract investment.

Of course, so many things cannot be done in one go, so Fu Wenyu's plan is to build the hot spring villa before winter, and then build one or two amusement projects.

For example, "haunted house", "slides", "treasure hunts" and other amusement projects that do not require a large area.

Except for the need to separate male and female guests in the hot spring villa, all others can be shared. You just need to divide the time and prohibit the other party from entering when the time is up. For example, the first ten days of each month are used to entertain female guests, the last eighteen days are used to entertain male guests, and the two days in between are for rest and maintenance.

After Fu Wenyu's patient explanation, Liu Changmiao's eyes lit up.

"When will you finish building it?"

"I want to go out and have fun!"

Fu Wenyu laughed, "Changmiao, I'm discussing cooperation with you."

"I've calculated that the place for entertaining female guests should be different from that for male guests, so we need to build two hot spring villas. But I think there won't be many female guests who can go there, so theirs can be smaller."

"In order not to exceed the regulations, I plan to build small courtyards. Then I will surround them with tall walls, plant some beautiful flowers and trees inside, and arrange several small gardens with characteristics. In this way, some people who don't like to play can also hang out in the manor with friends and family and enjoy the scenery."

"As for the place to play, it is in another place."

Fu Wenyu took the plan from Liu Changmiao, flipped through it and pointed to a certain place and said: "According to my plan, if I want to build two manors like this, I will need more than 10,000 taels."

"Of course, we can build a part in the early stage, and then slowly increase it later."

"How about it, are you interested?"

According to Fu Wenyu's plan, after the hot spring villa is built, we can first sell a wave of "annual tickets", "half-year tickets", and "monthly tickets", and quickly get a sum of money back for subsequent construction.

And when there are more venues, we will start selling "day tickets", "three-day tickets", "seven-day tickets", etc. Because these tickets for only a few days are not expensive, we have to wait until there are more places before we start selling them.

There are so many people that they need to queue up, and they can sell "skip-queue tickets".

In short, Xiaoganzhuang and the surrounding area are located at the junction of Liuzhou and Jiangzhou, and are not too far from nearby Anzhou. If you set off early, you can go back and forth in one day. Liuzhou is only seven or eight days away from the capital. As long as the operation is good, there is no worry about not attracting guests from the capital and other places.

According to Fu Wenyu, the capital is a political and economic center, and there are millions of people living in and around it all year round. Although Liuzhou does not have so many people, there are nearly 100,000 people.

Add Jiangzhou and Anzhou, it is still profitable.

After all, there were not many entertainment projects in ancient times.

What Fu Wenyu thought of, Liu Changmiao also thought of.

However, he thought of it as a guest, and he also felt that if there really was such a place with hot springs and food, drink and fun, he would be willing to live there for a month, no, for a year!

Of course, my grandmother and parents would definitely not agree.

But you can take your grandmother and parents there!

Liu Changmiao's eyes lit up.

Mr. Liu was about to go out.

But when he was about to reach the door, he saw his youngest son coming in from outside.

And he was holding a thick book in his arms, while the servant beside him was empty-handed.

This was strange. You know, since he was a child, this youngest son had a headache when he saw a book. Over time, he and his eldest son had given up. Mr. Liu thought to himself that if he didn't want to study, then don't study. Anyway, the family already had an eldest son, and it would be fine to give Changmiao more family property in the future.

So he stopped him.

"Changmiao, what's in your hand?"

Liu Changmiao didn't expect to see his father as soon as he entered the door, and his steps stopped involuntarily.

He was very interested in Mr. Fu's plan, but there were some places that he didn't understand even after listening to the explanation, so he borrowed the plan back and planned to discuss it with his parents after careful study.

After all, it was not a small amount to take out 2,500 taels at a time.

But he didn't expect to meet his father as soon as he entered the house.

Liu Changmiao rolled his eyes and then walked over.

Mr. Liu looked at his somewhat happy expression and asked curiously: "Where did you go to play this time? Why did you look so gloomy when you went out in the morning, but now you are so happy?"

His eyes fell on the thing Liu Changmiao was holding tightly. Seeing that it was a book that was different from a book, but wider and bigger, he frowned immediately.

"Did you go to buy a storybook again?"

Although he had accepted that his youngest son would not take the path of imperial examinations, and he usually turned a blind eye to his reading of storybooks, Mr. Liu would still be angry when he saw his youngest son buy a storybook.

"Give me this book!"

Liu Changmiao didn't understand, but this plan was originally meant for his father, so he handed it over.

"Dad, this is a plan written by Mr. Fu. He bought a hot spring mountain."

When he heard the three words "plan", Mr. Liu thought it was another storybook with a strange name, but then he heard "hot spring mountain" again, so he realized that he had misunderstood.

He took it and asked, "Hot spring?"

"Your grandmother is old and always feels cold in winter. The doctor said that if she could soak in the hot spring, she would sleep better at night. Is he selling this mountain?"

Liu Changmiao shook his head, "No."

"But Mr. Fu said that after the hot spring villa is built, everyone can go. And there are many fun things in it. Dad, take a look at this plan. Mr. Fu invited me to cooperate."

"Plan, cooperation?"

Muttering these two strange words, Mr. Liu casually turned to the first page.

Then he slowly flipped through the pages one by one.

As he flipped through them, he turned his head with a serious expression and walked towards the study, saying as he walked, "Come with me and tell me what this plan is."

At the same time, he did not forget to tell the servants, "Go and tell Mr. Xie that I have something urgent to do and cannot go to his house for a banquet." Anyway, Mr. Xie invited banquets every few days, so it doesn't matter if he goes less.

This plan is more important.

The servant took the order and left.

Inside the house, the Liu family father and son sat opposite each other.

Liu Changmiao told his father in detail about every bit of the plan he had heard from Fu Wenyu. For example, the plan is to build two hot spring villas, one for male guests and one for female guests. In addition to the two villas, there will also be another place dedicated to recreation.

Those ‘haunted houses’, ‘bumper boats’, etc. will be placed here.

When there are more people later, you can build some places around and rent them to people who want to open restaurants, teahouses, jewelry shops, clothing shops, as well as some selling noodles, various cakes, pastries, etc.

In order to ensure the safety of guests, Fu Wenyu also plans to hire many servants.

The investment in the entire plan is as high as tens of thousands taels, but only 5,000 taels are needed in the early stage, and profits will be used for expansion in the future. In other words, Fu Wenyu planned that if the hot spring resort loses money, there will only be two hot spring resorts and some entertainment projects with low expenditures, and nothing else.

After listening to his youngest son's explanation, Liu Juren concluded.

"In other words, if you don't make any money, it's two thousand five hundred taels in exchange for a hot spring manor?"

Liu Changmiao nodded, "Yes."

"Mr. Fu said that if we don't make money later, then our two families will divide the hot spring villa. He wants the bigger one, and the smaller one will be given to our family, because he holds 60% of the shares."

Liu Juren nodded slowly, "Two thousand five hundred taels is not expensive."

Not only is it not expensive, it is also very cheap.

When he and his eldest son were studying in the capital, his in-laws, the eldest daughter-in-law's grandfather's family, bought a small courtyard with a hot spring at the foot of Tangshan Mountain outside the capital.

Of course, good places are not his turn. The so-called hot springs are just warm water. Every time he goes there, he has to ask his servants to boil it in advance. But even so, it cost nearly ten thousand taels.

Of course, it’s not just the money to buy the yard.

But even so, two thousand five hundred taels is very cheap.

According to Fu Wenyu's plan, the mountain where the hot springs are located is too hot and the scenery is not good, so it is not a good place to build a manor.

So he planned to bring the water down.

This way, the water temperature is just right and the foot of the mountain can be better planned.

Anyway, Liu Juren didn't see anything wrong.

Based on his knowledge, he felt that after the hot spring villa was built, there would be no losses at all. And if the "haunted houses" and "bumper boats" written by Fu Wenyu can really attract customers, they might even make a lot of money.

For a time, Liu Juren was in trouble.

Fu Wenyu only wants to cooperate with Chang Miao.

But the Liu family was not separated...

Thinking of this, Liu Juren looked up at his youngest son who was looking at him expectantly, and asked: "Chang Miao, what do you think? Can this so-called hot spring villa, and the future 'paradise', make money?"

Liu Changmiao nodded heavily, "Yes!"

He gushed, "Dad, I thought about it when I came back. This can make money."

"As Mr. Fu said, there is nothing interesting in Liuzhou, Jiangzhou, or Anzhou, and it is very close to the three cities."

"There are nearly 300,000 people in these three cities alone!"

"Even if only 10,000 people come to play in a year, it will definitely not be a loss. What's more, when the reputation spreads in the future, people from other places will come, even guests from the capital can be attracted."

"Dad, I think this makes sense."

Liu Juren nodded slowly.
