The leisurely life of a reborn dad

Zuo Yongsi thought that if Cao Shujie could focus on this aspect, then the profit would not be a small amount.

As for other aspects.

Zuo Yongsi didn't ask any more questions, and it was even more impossible for Cao Shujie to tell Zuo Yongsi that he had shares in Caojiazhuang Farm Restaurant and Xinjiang Hotel, and the proportion was not low.

As the flow of people in these two restaurants has skyrocketed, the revenue from people who ate in the past has also risen linearly.

The net profit income this brings to Cao Shujie is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

This is why Cao Shujie is keen on attracting traffic. He knows very well that even if children’s theme parks and cute orchards charge tickets, charging dozens of dollars will essentially set a threshold, and tourists will then weigh it, not necessarily Willing to come.

But if, like Zuo Yongsi said, you only charge a few dollars, it will make people less popular, and you won't even earn a few tickets. No matter how you calculate it, charging tickets is not cost-effective.

As the saying goes, free is the most expensive.

For now, all the paid items in Caojiazhuang Children's Theme Park will cost 130 yuan if you play them all once. When the roller coaster is installed later, it will cost another 40 yuan.

However, there are many projects that are played repeatedly, a little here and a little there. This kind of fragmented consumption unknowingly takes away part of the money from tourists' wallets.

But few people settle this account!

Does Cao Shujie really earn less?

As for Mengmeng Orchard, although it does not charge entrance fees, it does have a lot of charging items.

At this stage, the income from picking strawberries, the venue usage fees for taking wedding photos at Mengmeng Orchard, deer blood wine, deer antler slices, etc.

Zuo Yongsi didn't ask further questions, and Cao Shujie didn't get on the pole to tell him.

For Zuo Yongsi, after knowing the current situation of the children's theme park and Mengmeng Orchard, he then asked: "Director Cao, are there any difficulties on your side now?"

He also said: "Director Cao, to be honest, Director Pan of the Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau called me specifically this time and asked me to come and communicate with you face to face to understand your current difficulties. Director Pan also said that if you have any difficulties , Director Cao can bring it up, and our county will find a way to help you solve it. If it really can't be solved, we will report it to Director Pan, and he will also help make suggestions."

"Good guy, so many people care about my three-thirds of an acre of land?" Cao Shujie never expected this.

But there are indeed difficulties, and there are quite a lot of them. Since the other party wants to hear it, Cao Shujie doesn't mind talking about it and letting them help them think about how to solve it.

"Director Zuo, there is something I have always wanted to talk about." Cao Shujie said.

Zuo Yongsi felt that this matter was very difficult when he heard it, and he regretted asking that question.

But it is unrealistic to just wait to get benefits without asking or even helping.

"Director Cao said, as long as we can handle it, we will deal with it immediately." Zuo Yongsi promised.

But Cao Shujie knew that what he said had another meaning. If it really couldn't be solved, there was nothing they could do.

Cao Shujie was not angry. He knew that these people had been working in the system for a long time and that was the problem.

Leave enough room for yourself in everything.

"Director Zuo, many hotels, inns, and guest houses have recently seen a sharp increase in accommodation prices. You have to take care of this matter," Cao Shujie said.

"besides……"

As soon as Cao Shujie finished speaking the first one, Zuo Yongsi felt his head grow bigger.

This is really a big job for myself.

He didn't need to do any research to figure out that hotels, inns, and guest houses had raised their accommodation prices. It must be because more people came to Cao Shujie's place to play. Many people chose to stay nearby instead of going back that day.

And there should be quite a few such people.

Seeing so many people at the hotel, this is money, so it is understandable that they choose to raise prices at this time to make money.

After all, other tourist attractions will also increase their accommodation prices during the peak season, and the price increase of accommodation is very ridiculous.

It's just that the tourism industry in Pingyuan County has always been bad. This situation basically didn't happen before. Unexpectedly, this time because of the popularity of the children's theme park and Mengmeng Orchard in Caojiazhuang, this area has been brought up.

"This is difficult to handle, mainly because it is not under our control." Zuo Yongsi said.

Cao Shujie seemed to have expected that he would say this, and then said: "Director Zuo, I am not trying to make things difficult for you. I make this suggestion mainly for the long-term development of our city's tourism industry, not for a one-time deal."

He said: “I also know that reasonable increases in accommodation prices are market behavior and are acceptable to tourists, but I have heard reports that accommodation prices in some hotels and chain hotels have increased three or four times compared to before. This is excessive! "

After Zuo Yongsi heard this, he frowned slightly and asked Cao Shujie how he knew.

"Some tourists reported this problem to our staff in the park." Cao Shujie said so.

He continued to tell Zuo Yongsi the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that a tourist drove hundreds of kilometers to come with his family. They had booked online at one of the chain hotels in Pingyuan County two weeks in advance before coming. However, when they arrived excitedly and were ready to check in, The hotel chain told them that the special-price rooms they had booked before were already full, and if they still wanted to stay, they could only increase the price.

This incident disgusted the family of this friend who came from afar, but considering that the whole family had to stay, and besides, they were outsiders, and if they continued to argue in a place where they were unfamiliar with each other, accidents could easily happen. The accident was very detrimental to their family.

They finally discussed it with the hotel and were very aggrieved and agreed to double the price.

But this matter makes everyone feel uncomfortable. After arriving at the scenic spot, this friend reported this problem to the staff of the scenic spot, and the scenic spot summarized the problems and reported them to Cao Shujie.

And during this period, there have been more than one such problem, both in Pingyuan County, in Qingshi Town, and in other nearby towns.

If it was just Qingshi Town, Cao Shujie could have asked Liu Furong and Luo Ningyou to help deal with it. However, no matter how powerful Cao Shujie was, he would not be able to intervene in what happened in other towns and counties.

He hadn't figured out how to deal with it yet, but he didn't expect Zuo Yongsi to come to his door.

"This, this is really not easy to handle." Zuo Yongsi was very embarrassed.

Cao Shujie nodded. He did not deny this, but he had reasons that he had to deal with.

"Director Zuo, it's not that I'm putting you in trouble, it's that if this matter is not handled, it may threaten the long-term development of our tourism industry in Yiling City."

Seeing that Zuo Yongsi was a little confused, Cao Shujie continued to tell him: "Director Zuo, think about it, if we don't care about this situation and more hotels and guest houses follow suit, the market in this area will be even more... Chaos, in this case, 80% of foreign tourists will not want to come over because of the difficulty in accommodation, and local tourists do not need accommodation, am I right?"

Zuo Yongsi nodded subconsciously. He felt that Cao Shujie was right.

Cao Shujie continued: "If it comes to this, there will be two consequences. One is that foreign tourists will not come, and the number of tourists in our park will be greatly reduced."

"Second point, once our reputation for robbing guests in the accommodation aspect spreads out, then friends outside will know that Yiling City is a mess and the tourist accommodation environment is not good. Once this reputation is confirmed, it will be irreversible. By then, not to mention those out-of-town tourists, even the business people who come to Yiling on business will not dare to live here, and the price will be increased? If you continue like this, you will kill yourself. "

Zuo Yongsi didn't consider these issues at all before.

One is that the tourism industry in Pingyuan County is not doing well at all.

The second is that he has seen many similar reports online or on TV before.

According to reports, the prices of accommodation in other hotels and hotels near well-known scenic spots have soared, but tourists have not abandoned that scenic spot because of this. There are still waves of people being fooled, and those hotels should continue to cheat them.

Thinking of this, Zuo Yongsi asked: "It's not that serious, right? I think it's like this in other places."

Hearing what he said, Cao Shujie realized that it was really difficult to reverse the situation.

He told Zuo Yongsi very seriously that if this phenomenon can be managed well, their tourism industry will do better in the future than at the current stage.

"Real or false?" Although Zuo Yongsi asked, he had already begun to think about this issue.

Cao Shujie continued to tell him that if the soft environment is well prepared, this aspect will have an increasing effect on the tourism industry in the region.

"I think if it can be done well, even if the scenic spot of this place is not very good, many people will come to see it. Of course, it is difficult." Cao Shujie also knows this.

Zuo Yongsi was initially frightened by the questions raised by Cao Shujie, but after hearing Cao Shujie analyze the pros and cons of the accommodation issue, he realized that some problems really had to be changed, and he couldn't think that others were like this and he was the same.

"Director Cao, are there any more?" Zuo Yongsi asked.

Now that everything has been brought up, let's ask the questions once and for all and resolve the matter. His heart can't stand it when the trouble comes one after another.

Cao Shujie was not polite and asked him the remaining questions.

The most troublesome thing for Zuo Yongsi is that Cao Shujie said that based on feedback from tourists, there are also illegal tour guides in their place.

When Cao Shujie first heard this word, he thought it was incredible.

The souvenirs they can sell here all come from him. There are no black intermediaries or wholesalers in the middle. He arranges for his own people to deal directly with tourists.

Besides, he doesn't charge admission fees for these two places. How did he create a black tour guide?

This is a question that Cao Shujie can't figure out.

Zuo Yongsi heard Cao Shujie mention this matter, and he took it seriously.

Compared with the accommodation issue, this is more damaging to the local image.

"Don't worry, Director Cao. As long as this happens in the next step, we will definitely join forces with our brothers on the public security front to severely crack down on this illegal behavior." Zuo Yongsi said.

Cao Shujie then told Zuo Yongsi some problems, and Zuo Yongsi recorded them all one by one. He thought that he would summarize these problems in time and solve them as soon as possible after he returned.

Unknowingly, it was already past lunch time. The two of them had been so engrossed in chatting that they had forgotten the time.

"Director Zuo, let's go, I'll treat you to dinner." Cao Shujie pulled him away without Zuo Yongsi saying anything.

After Zuo Yongsi was polite, he followed Cao Shujie to dinner.

There was something else to do in the afternoon, so Zuo Yongsi didn't dare to drink at noon.

After lunch, before Zuo Yongsi returned to the county, he told Cao Shujie that he would deal with these matters as soon as possible.

After sending Zuo Yongsi away, Cao Shujie didn't take it to heart and continued to be busy with his own affairs.

It's just that he didn't expect that someone would take this out for ranking.

But now it seems that this ranking is good for me.

This can be seen from the fact that Zuo Yongsi came to chat with him in person.

Cao Shujie didn't know that after Zuo Yongsi returned, he sorted out the problems he had reported back, and immediately went to the city with these problems to report to Pan Jianglong of the Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism in person.

At the same time, Zuo Yongsi did not forget to report his work to several leaders in the county. Some of the issues reported by Cao Shujie required joint action from multiple departments, and the Cultural Tourism Bureau alone would be useless.

…

In the next few days, Cao Shujie asked Song Baoming to drive his new car to register it and pay the tax at the same time.

As soon as he finished these chores, just when Cao Shujie was thinking that he could finally rest for a few days, Xu Qingming came again.

He came here mainly for the beef cattle of Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative.

Last Saturday, when Cao Shujie went to Quancheng to buy a car, he had dinner with Xu Qingming. At that time, it was decided to purchase all 3,615 cattle from the second branch of Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative at a price of 12.3 yuan.

When Cao Jianlong and the others heard Cao Shujie talk about the price, they had no objection at all.

They know very well that the current market price of beef cattle has been falling compared with the previous two years.

It is rare for Cao Shujie to be able to negotiate a relatively high price at this time.

All the villagers who owned shares in Branch 2 of the Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative were very satisfied with the price after hearing about it. They had nothing to say about Cao Shujie.

However, they still remembered that Cao Shujie said last year that Zhongcheng Breeding Cooperative will no longer pay dividends this year, and all the money will be used to purchase cows for self-breeding.

And after raising cattle for a long time, they also know to pay attention to the beef cattle market, and they also know the current price of calves in the market.

A beef calf weighing about 300 kilograms, with slightly better quality, costs about 7,000 yuan. In comparison, the price increase of beef calves in recent years is even more outrageous than the increase in housing prices.

Moreover, because the market demand for beef is increasing, the price of beef calves continues to rise. Without self-breeding of cows, the cost of purchasing calves in the later period will become higher and higher, but the price of slaughtered beef cattle has been declining. This will also As a result, their profits from raising cattle are getting lower and lower.

Xu Qingming came over to sign the purchase contract, left a deposit according to the estimated price, and left directly.

This is not the first time that the two parties have cooperated, and they know each other very well.
