Chapter 261: Turning Things Around
"Sure, riding on a Ducati?"
Yao Jun, who was standing at the door, watched Bifang riding a black motorcycle and whistled with pleasure.
"Just buy whatever you like. Otherwise, why would you make money? You're really far away."
Bifang took off his helmet and got off the motorcycle. He looked at the door of the club which had not been fully renovated and nodded with satisfaction. Although it had not been completely completed, it was already quite large and had a strong atmosphere of a high-end club. If he had seen such a place half a year ago, he would not even have entered the door.
It’s simple. I’ve confirmed through looking at it that this is a place I can’t afford.
The salted fish has turned over a new leaf.
"There's no other way. If you want a bigger place, you can only go to the suburbs. Otherwise, the cost will be too high. You're such a hands-off boss that you didn't even ask about the location ."
Yao Jun also felt that the club was a bit far from the city center, but fortunately it was on the main road and had convenient transportation.
The three partners are not short of money, so since they are going to do it, they naturally have to do it to the best of their ability. If nothing else, at least the place has to be grand, otherwise they will lose face if they tell others about it.
"Shouldn't this be a professional matter? Leave it to professionals." Bifang smiled. The business talents of these two people were much better than his, and they had many capable people under them. It was not his turn to give orders blindly. Bifang looked around and suddenly asked.
"Lin Chang didn't come?"
"He's busy. He went back to the company to handle business after the New Year. I found that I was the only one who had the least time. If I hadn't set up a club this year, the old man would have said that I was idle."
Yao Jun scratched his eyebrows. Even Bifang had just returned from abroad not long ago. In comparison, it seemed that he was the one with the most free time.
"Thank you for the ranking last time."
"Oh, that's nothing. You look down on me by saying that. You can be number one without me. Do you believe it?"
"Let's be honest. You gave me money, so I have to thank you anyway."
"Fuck, I won't fight you next time!"
The two chatted as they walked into the club. The club currently has several venues built at the same time, including rock climbing, archery, and fighting venues.
The decoration is very good and modern. The walls are also integrated with color-changing glass. Under the light, combined with the surrounding indoor trees, it feels like being in the deep jungle.
But the more Bifang looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong, or something was not right, as if something was missing.
Although the real adventure takes place in the wild, as for the club, apart from the slightly different decoration and full of "natural atmosphere", at first glance, it seems to be no different from those separate rock climbing clubs and archery clubs. At most, they are combined together.
Bifang is clear about the club's positioning. Real wilderness exploration is very tiring. Apart from enthusiasts, many people may only come once and never again, just for the novelty. Most of them come for two purposes: fun and socializing.
If you want it to be fun, you have to make it easy enough and not too hard, otherwise the huge learning cost will easily discourage some people.
At present, the club is still not attractive enough. It may make money when it opens, but it will definitely not be that profitable. Instead, it will become an expensive toy that requires a lot of energy to maintain.
Thinking of this, Bifang felt a little regretful. In addition to the initial investment, he also invested tens of millions of dollars later. He didn't expect to come up with such a thing?
It has absolutely no expected effect.
Yao Jun, who was standing by, noticed that Bifang looked a little strange, and immediately said with a smile, "Do you think this club is a patchwork?"
Bifang looked at the other person in surprise, then nodded.
Unexpectedly, Yao Jun was not in a hurry at all: "In fact, Lin Chang and I came here to see it a month ago. We also felt something was wrong at the time. This thing is not fun, but it is like a club for professionals. It is naturally discouraging. It is useless, but it is still attractive to some people, and those are rich people."
Most people who like outdoor sports are actually not short of money, and daily expenses can be maintained by relying on a small number of people. With the reputation of Bifang, it is unlikely to lose money, but the payback period will also be very long.
"So we later found a professional marketing planner, and we held a meeting together and decided to start from two aspects: one is professionalism, and the other is entertainment."
"Professionalization means achieving the ultimate, the kind that enthusiasts can get certified. You don't have to worry about the relevant certifications. We have connections and are waiting for you to hire a coach from the army."
"What about entertainment?"
Yao Jun let out a weird giegiegie laugh and took Bifang across the hall to the back of the club. Suddenly, a smell of licorice mixed with feces made Bifang frown.
There are quite a few animals raised here.
Just the animals you see are rabbits, foxes, deer, and goats.
Bifang suddenly realized what Yao Jun was thinking: "You guys want to go hunting?"
"Yes!" Yao Jun affirmed, "Do you remember that we asked you for a large sum of money later? We have bought the entire piece of land behind the club, which is more than two square kilometers. We will expand it in the future. We plan to build a hunting ground!"
"Primitive hunting ground, cold weapon hunting!"
"Is this possible?"
Bifang was shocked, and then he had another question: "Do you have a permit? And will it be dangerous for tourists?"
Yao Jun shook his head: "You underestimate us too much. Lin Chang and I are not capable of that, but he and my father have plenty of connections. Moreover, this entertainment is aimed at the public, and the dangers have been taken into consideration. Otherwise, how could it be open to the public? At that time, those who come to play will need relevant certificates, and we will be back to the original intention."
Yao Jun brought Bifang to the armory and showed him the items inside.
Bifang looked at them one by one. There were longbows and long spears, but without exception, the heads of all of them were removed and replaced with a special capsule head coated with colored powder.
"The bow and arrow have no head and have become rubber. Once the prey is shot, paint will be left on the prey's body. Even if the hunt is successful, the customer can pay to buy the prey and cover the cost of raising it. Otherwise, it is not for sale and can also get related souvenirs. We have also taken the difficulty into consideration. The animals are all raised and their alertness is not that high. Under the leadership of the captain, tourists can fully experience the fun of hunting. We are also considering setting up a restaurant to process prey or rent equipment so that tourists can barbecue themselves. We are even considering introducing some not-too-rare animals in the future to make it an alternative zoo."
Buy the prey?
Good job!
Bifang called him an insider, saying that this was one person making two bucks, but it did sound interesting, at least it had its own unique features, and it could be popular while ensuring safety.
"Sure you guys can!"
Bifang punched Yao Jun's shoulder and couldn't help getting excited: "Can we try it now?"
"Of course, the fence has been basically built, but there aren't too many prey, so it might be a little difficult to catch them." Yao Jun scratched his head, remembering that he was just as excited half a month ago, but in the end he didn't catch a single rabbit.
After listening to Yao Jun's experience, Bi Fang looked at him with disdain and asked, "Can you be the same as me?"
Yao Jun: “…”
Why does he dislike hearing this?
Can you chat?
That afternoon, Yao Jun saw with his own eyes what professionalism was.
A total of twenty rabbits and two deer were released, but Bifang managed to catch twenty-two rabbits, not even a single deer was missing.
Even the wild rabbits that were already on the mountain were caught.
However, there were two of the captive animals that were not found.
If the place wasn't so large and the time wasn't so tight, Yao Jun doubted that none of these animals would have been able to escape.
It must be said that the farmed rabbits are fat, tender and much easier to catch than wild ones. Once you see one, it is almost impossible for it to escape. Bifang and Yao Jun both ate so much at night that they packed up a lot and planned to send a lot to Lin Chang to try.
In the next few days, Bifang did not seize the time to exercise, but instead relaxed during the spring break and visited the club from time to time.
In the morning, when he has nothing to do, he would go to the park to practice Tai Chi with the old men. His smooth and unique movements stunned a group of people, who kept shouting 666. Some old men even wanted to become his disciples and learn from him on the spot, but he was unfortunately stopped by Bifang. What's the point of accepting a group of old men?
For this reason, many people who went to the park in the mornings saw a strange scene.
It's really strange that a handsome and energetic young man leads a group of old men to practice Tai Chi, and scolds them mercilessly if they don't do the movements correctly .
During this period, Bifang also paid attention to Gou Lin's dynamics. As one of the friends who borrowed money from him, Bifang said that he would help him. Unfortunately, the other party never responded after the last time he said it.
Half a month passed in such peace.
