Zhu Zhiyuan put the electric scooter into the highest gear, and in 18 minutes, he reached the other side of the Tiger Leaping River.
When Lu Tong and his group got off the car, Zhu Zhiyuan said: "This stream is called Tiger Leaping Creek. Before liberation, there were many tigers here. There were often tigers jumping around on both sides of the stream, hence the name."
"There used to be a lot of tigers." Tong Lu said, "There used to be some in my hometown, but unfortunately they were all wiped out later."
"After the bridge, the mouth of the gorge is the Tiger Leaping Gorge. It is a little more than three kilometers deep inside and one to two kilometers wide at its widest point. To the south and at the bottom of the gorge at the east end are cliffs that even monkeys cannot climb. To the north are mountains. There are more than a dozen hills, large and small, suitable for tigers to survive, but after passing the Beishan Mountain, there is another big cliff."
Zhu Zhiyuan said and moved his hand: "As long as we build a wall at the mouth of the canyon and put the tiger inside, it will never be able to get out."
"Then where is your tiger viewing platform..." Lu Tong asked.
"On the mountain here." Zhu Zhiyuan led the way across the bridge: "Please follow me."
He crossed the bridge and led the way up the mountain.
It was more than a thousand meters, and Lu Tong and the others also climbed for more than an hour.
When we reached the top of the mountain, our eyes widened. Lu Tong exclaimed, "This view alone makes the climb worthwhile."
Gao Donghong nodded: "It's really not a bad idea for people in the city to stay in a small place every day and come here to climb mountains and broaden their horizons."
That is what they say, but both of them actually know that tourists will not come to a tourist area without a particularly eye-catching highlight.
Zhu Zhiyuan’s Tiger Garden is this highlight.
Zhu Zhiyuan took them to the edge of the cliff, pointed to the mountains to the north, and said: "Inside the canyon, connected to the mountains to the north, is the largest tiger park. Here, you can see tigers during the day and listen to their roars at night. This is the biggest selling point. , and our income comes from this tiger viewing platform."
"Tell me carefully." Lu Tong said.
Not only him, but also Gao Donghong, Fang Zicheng and others all became interested.
The previous Bayberry Festival was purely for investment. No one was very interested. Who doesn’t know how to invest money? Guan Jian didn’t have any money.
But Tiger Garden can bring in income, this is its ability, and it naturally attracts people.
"The investor signed a contract with the county." Zhu Zhiyuan introduced from the beginning: "The east of Tiger Leaping Creek, including the entire Tiger Leaping Gorge, is contracted by the investor for 600,000 a year, 500,000 for the county, and 100,000 for the town. This contract The fee will increase by five percent every year.”
"That's okay." Lu Tong nodded: "It's not too much, not too little."
If it is a truly unique and beautiful scenic spot, 600,000 yuan a year will definitely not be available for it. But Tiger Leaping Gorge is just a mountain. If there are no tigers, it will be difficult to attract tourists. 600,000 yuan a year is indeed possible. .
"Investors will build the top of the mountain into a tiger viewing platform, and all income will come from the tiger viewing platform."
Zhu Zhiyuan gestured with his hands: "From west to east, the top of this mountain, including the east end, is about five kilometers, and the widest point is about one thousand meters. Such a large platform can accommodate more than 50,000 tourists at a time. "
"Are there so many tourists coming?" Gao Donghong asked.
"So the Yangmei Festival is free." Zhu Zhiyuan said: "The Yangmei Festival attracts a wave of tourists every year. It is only more than ten kilometers from here to Yangmei Town. Private cars can come here just after turning. For those who don't have a car, we have arranged electric Pick up by car. When tourists come, do they really just pick bayberries and leave? There are not only mountains and rivers here, but also tigers. Tigers are still very rare. If you don’t go to the zoo, you won’t see them. And in the entire Dongzhou, There are only a few tigers in Dongcheng Zoo, but most people in Dongzhou have never seen a tiger, let alone a tiger in the wild."
When he said this, he chuckled: "There are no tigers this year. Next year, there will be tigers. We will do publicity during the Bayberry Festival. There are tigers lying under the bayberry trees, and there are a few people picking bayberry standing on the bayberry trees. , with a look of horror on his face.”
He didn't say any more, but Lu Tong was all happy imagining the scene.
You come to pick bayberries, and the tiger below is staring at you. Just thinking about it makes your bladder tight.
"You kid, you are a bit of a genius." Lu Tong smiled and nodded to Zhu Zhiyuan: "However, such publicity will indeed interest most tourists who come to pick bayberry. If it were me, I would think so too. , there is actually a tiger, it’s already here, why don’t you take a look.”
"This is a psychological suggestion." Gao Donghong nodded.
"So I said this kid is a ghost." Lu Tong nodded to Zhu Zhiyuan again, turned to look at Fang Zicheng and the others, and said: "This is wisdom. Yangmei is also attractive, and it is free for those who are willing to come and pick it. There will be no shortage, and tigers are equally rare. When the publicity comes, there will definitely be no shortage of people who are willing to take a look. They all come, and as long as they go up the mountain, the top of the mountain will be full of business. "
Fang Zicheng and others also nodded.
Zhou Yun thought to himself: "Assistant Zhu does have a strong background, but his brain is indeed not comparable to that of ordinary people."
"Xiao Zhu, what do you think the annual income of this tiger viewing platform will be if it is built?" Gao Donghong asked.
"I'm not sure." Zhu Zhiyuan said: "Let's calculate it this way. Suppose that the Yangmei Energy Festival attracts 100,000 people, half of whom come to the Tiger Viewing Platform to watch tigers. It takes almost half a day to come from there to the mountain here. It’s over.”
He said with a smile: "If you come to see a tiger and don't see a tiger, most people will not be reconciled. Of course we will also promote it, record some videos of tigers, or go down there to make a few tiger roars to attract tourists. Then , Generally speaking, tourists won’t leave unless they see a tiger.”
Lu Tong, Gao Donghong and others nodded. Everyone can understand this mentality.
"Even if half of the people leave, let's leave 30,000 people." Zhu Zhiyuan took a step back: "These 30,000 people, on the top of this mountain, have food, drink, shelter, plus buying mountain products, each person will spend 30,000 yuan." One hundred yuan, isn’t that much?”
"Not much." Lu and Gao Donghong shook their heads in unison.
Nowadays, people in the city can still earn a salary of hundreds or even thousands, and now that they are out to play, they are reluctant to spend hundreds of dollars. What a waste of time you come to have fun.
"Thirty thousand people, three hundred per person, that's nine million, almost ten million." Zhu Zhiyuan said, and then said: "Of course, this is only gross income, not pure profit, but since we are on the top of this mountain, If the things are sold a little more expensive and the merchant's profit is higher, for example, 100% profit, that's no problem."
"No problem." Gao Donghong nodded several times.
Things in tourist areas, especially inside, are incredibly expensive. A bottle of water on the top of Mount Tai will cost you a lot of money.
"Then, 10 million goods and 5 million profits can be easily obtained." Zhu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "And the contractor's annual contract fee is only 600,000, which is almost one-tenth of the amount."
"But you didn't count the investment in Yangmei Festival." Lu Tong pointed out the problem.
