The fishing ground I opened has become a national leisure destination

Chapter 290: New Model of Time and Fishing Fees

"Wow, the fishing-as-you-go model is great. I don't have to rush to the fishing spot and can arrange my time more flexibly."

“I’m afraid if I go too late there won’t be any fishing spots.”

"That's true. If there are only small and old ponds, then there's no chance. You can't fish whenever you want, and you may not even be able to get a spot if you make a reservation. But there are hundreds of fishing spots in the big ponds."

"It can't be used up, it can't be used up at all."

"Boss Chen also reminded me that in the mini program and APP, you can see the available fishing spots and even the fishing times of other fishing spots. You can check the fishing spot situation before coming."

"That's right. At worst, you can estimate the time and make an appointment in advance, and you can go fishing when you arrive."

After chatting with Chen Jun and the others for a while, Chen Yuan went home first, quickly climbed upstairs, took a shower, and posted an announcement in the group that he could go fishing at any time.

It was still early, less than eleven o'clock, and the late-night competition had not yet begun, so a group of fishing friends started discussing.

Almost everyone expressed satisfaction with the fishing-as-you-come model.

It opens at 7am and closes at 12pm, and there is almost no need to exit or change venues, which makes it more convenient and flexible.

"Boss Chen, since we've already launched the catch-as-you-come model, why not be more flexible?"

Suddenly, someone tagged Chen Yuan in the fishing ground group.

"How flexible is that?"

Chen Yuan was about to exit the group chat when he saw this message and asked directly back.

"Eight hours is too long. Why not try five hours first, there's no upper limit, and then set the time option and reserve as long as you want to fish."

The angler who made the suggestion quickly responded: "In this way, I don't have to skip work or anything. I can get off work at 5 pm and rush over to catch a night fishing."

"That's a good idea. I get off work at six and can come over and go fishing."

"I fully agree. Although I get off work a little later than you do, at 6:30, my workplace is very close to the fishing grounds, so I can definitely get there in half an hour."

"Go fishing after get off work and have dinner at the fishing grounds. It's so nice~"

This proposal was instantly supported by many fishing enthusiasts, who all agreed that the time should be more flexible, so that fishing would be more convenient and they could come after get off work and fish whenever they wanted.

"Five hours?"

Chen Yuan looked at the many fishing friends who expressed their support and started to ponder over it secretly.

When supply exceeds demand, merchants are the king. I can sell the products however I want. If you don’t buy, there are plenty of people who will. It’s not up to you alone.

Just like the job-hunting environment in later generations.

When it becomes increasingly difficult to find a job and increasingly difficult to earn money, it is no longer you who chooses the job, but the job that chooses you. Even if you do not accept various harsh conditions, there are still many people scrambling for the job.

But once supply exceeds demand, the business model must change to maximize benefits.

Starting from five hours means that the fishing fee needs to be adjusted, and it will definitely not be as high as eight hours. This is a disadvantage, but the advantages are also obvious.

Not only is the time more flexible, but those office workers who fish can also come fishing after get off work, thus covering more customers.

There is only one question to consider: which is more profitable, high price and small quantity or small profits but quick turnover?

"That's a good suggestion. I'll think about it."

Chen Yuan did not give a direct answer. He still needed to compare it, and if he wanted to implement it, the time and fishing fee had to be reset.

After thinking about it, Chen Yuan took screenshots of his fellow anglers' suggestions and words of support, then exited the group chat, opened the fishing ground member group, and posted the screenshots directly.

The first batch of members are the founding members of the fishing ground. Their value is self-evident. It is very necessary to listen to the opinions of the founding members on the operating model of the fishing ground.

“Yes, I think this model is feasible.”

Just as Chen Yuan was about to ask, a member expressed his opinion in the group. The reasons were basically the same as those in the fishing ground group: time arrangements and fishing options are more flexible.

"Five hours is indeed more flexible. Basically, I don't need to skip work. I can come and play after get off work. This way, I can work and fish at the same time."

"And it doesn't affect anglers who have time. Five hours is just the starting point, not the upper limit. You can still choose eight hours, or even longer."

"Overall, it is more inclusive, takes care of office workers, and does not affect other people, so I support this model."

"support."

"+1."

Seeing that all members were in favor, Chen Yuan nodded and made a decision.

But there is one more thing.

"What do you think is the appropriate fishing fee?"

Price is always a barrier between merchants and consumers. Merchants certainly want to maximize their profits, but if they build the barrier too thick, consumers will definitely avoid it.

Consumers, of course, want it to be as cheap as possible.

If it was in a fishing ground group, Chen Yuan would definitely not ask, but the relationship among the founding members is different, and there are many friends among them, so the suggestions should be more pertinent.

"The fishing fee must be decided by Boss Chen. I can only suggest that the fishing fee be five hours per hour, and there may be some discounts for each additional hour."

"Yes, this is the normal renewal model. For example, if you start fishing for five hours, the fishing fee is 100 yuan, which is an average of 20 yuan per hour. Then the subsequent renewal fee will be in units of hours, such as 18 yuan per hour, or 15 yuan per hour."

Chen Yuan understood the suggestions in the group.

Normal sales methods.

This is especially common in the milk tea clothing industry.

What's the second cup half price, the second item 50% off, it's all about bundled sales, small profits but quick turnover.

“The fishing fee is simple.”

Chen Yuan was just thinking about it when he saw Qin Fen popping up in the group.

"Tell me what you think."

Chen Yuan directly tagged Qin Fen and sent an emoticon asking him to speak.

"It's based on the current fishing fees."

Qin Fen explained in the group: "For example, Datang, isn't it 168 for eight hours? Just divide it into two parts, five hours and three hours, and set different fishing fees."

"Please tell me more details." Someone in the group asked.

"It's very simple. The average fishing fee for a large pond is 21 yuan per hour, so the first five hours can be slightly higher, set at 22 yuan per hour, so the fishing fee for the first five hours is 110, which is the starting fishing fee."

Qin Fen continued to explain: "There will be discounts for renewals later. The sixth hour will cost 21, the seventh hour 20, and the eighth hour 17."

"So the total cost is still 168 for eight hours, and the fishing fee has not changed."

"It does not affect the fishing fees, but also allows more flexibility in fishing time and increases the enthusiasm of anglers to go fishing. After all, the five-hour fishing fee is more expensive."

"You can even add some extra power, for example, after eight hours, the hourly fishing fee is only $15."

Qin Fen sent out a series of messages. There was a brief silence in the group, and then everyone said it was a good idea and agreed with Qin Fen's suggestion.

"You're great, kid. Your brain finally figured it out." Chen Yuan praised in the group.

I have to say that Qin Fen’s suggestion is indeed good. It not only ensures the benefits of the current model, but also makes fishing time more flexible without reducing efficiency.

And the subsequent small profits but quick turnover approach should be able to increase the enthusiasm of anglers for fishing.

"What do you mean by enlightenment? I've always been smart, haven't I?" Qin Fen was unhappy. He retorted and then tagged Chen Yuan, "Should I say it? My suggestion is good, isn't it? If you adopt it, remember to pay me for the intellectual property rights."

"Get out~"

Chen Yuan was too lazy to pay attention. After exiting the group chat, he began to set the stage fishing fee according to Qin Fen’s suggestion.

The fishing fees for the three ponds are different, and the fishing fees for different stages must also be different.

Soon, Chen Yuan finished editing and then checked it carefully.

"Based on the strong response from customers, Chenyuan Fishing Ground has made adjustments to the fishing time and fees. The specific plan is as follows."

“1: Fishing time: starting from five hours, no upper limit (during business hours)”

"2: The charging standard is."

"The starting fishing fee for a small pond is 65 yuan, 13 yuan per hour, and the subsequent three hours of fishing fees are 12, 12, and 11 respectively. If you continue fishing, the subsequent fee is 10 yuan per hour (no limit during business hours)"

"The starting fishing fee at Laotang is 250 yuan, with a unit price of 50 yuan per hour. The subsequent three hours of fishing fees are 48, 46, and 44 respectively. If you continue fishing, the subsequent fee is 40 yuan per hour (no limit during business hours)"

"The starting fishing fee in Datang is 110 yuan, 22 yuan per hour, and the subsequent three hours of fishing fees are 21, 19, and 18 respectively. If you continue fishing, the subsequent fee is 15 yuan per hour (no limit during business hours)"

"Friendly reminder: Please make reasonable reservations for fishing time, and do not change fishing rods. Once discovered, you will be cleared and removed from the fishing grounds. Fish caught and fishing fees will not be refunded, and you will be banned from fishing in Chenyuan Fishing Grounds for life. I hope everyone will abide by this and work together to create a good fishing environment."

Changing fishing lines must be prohibited and the crackdown must be severe.

After all, there is no upper limit on fishing time, and the longer the time, the cheaper the fishing fee. In this case, if someone forms a partnership and makes reservations for more than ten or twenty hours at a time, one fishes in the first half and the other fishes in the second half, isn't that just taking advantage of a loophole?

The fishing fees will be lost a lot.

One reservation per person, one fishing spot per person, healthy fishing.

If there are special circumstances, the appointment time cannot exceed eight hours.

"It's past twelve o'clock, let's send it tomorrow."

After checking, there was no problem. Chen Yuan was about to send it to the group, but he saw that it was already early in the morning and everyone should be asleep at this time.

Except for the late night champion.

Save the document, set the alarm, turn off the lights, turn over and go to sleep.

……

Early in the morning, Chen Yuan got up early, washed up, went downstairs, put a cigarette in his mouth, and rode his tricycle to Datang.

The buildings in Xiaotang are basically used for resting, going to the toilet, verifying reservation codes and purchasing baits. All of these are in the warehouse.

"Morning, Boss Chen."

Before I turned the ignition switch, cars started driving towards me one after another.

Chen Yuan responded with a smile, and Chaoyu and the others left first.

It is good to have a parking lot at the fishing ground, which saves the trouble of pick-up and drop-off, makes entering and leaving the ground much easier, and is also convenient for anglers.

Taking advantage of the gap, Chen Yuan turned the electric switch and ran straight to the fish pond.

"Morning, Boss Chen."

"It's not that early. Boss Chen used to get up earlier and help us carry our equipment. Now he comes to the fishing grounds at almost seven o'clock. He has nothing to do and is very free."

"The parking lot has been repaired, and the fishing ground business is booming. It's time for Mr. Chen to enjoy his life."

There were already quite a few anglers in the small pond, some were preparing bait, some were pulling out their fishing rods, and some were already putting bait on and casting their rods. When they saw Chen Yuan, they drank and joked.

Chen Yuan responded with a smile, then came to the warehouse.

Dad and Chen Ming were both there, as well as two Datang employees. The four of them were checking off items and handing out baits. They were all calm and orderly.

"dudu~"

Chen Yuan had just arrived at the warehouse when he heard a dull and wild roar coming from the road on the other side of the small pond, and then he saw an extremely domineering fish truck slowly approaching.

"The fish truck is coming."

"Although Boss Chen has grown bigger and stronger, he is still the down-to-earth Boss Chen. If he says he wants to maintain the fish situation at a certain level, he will do it."

"I released the fish in front of my fellow anglers, without any falsehood."

The anglers looked at the fish truck with excitement on their faces.

There are quite a few anglers in the big pond today. Although it is far less than the preliminaries, it is more than the small pond and the old pond combined, with more than 200 people.

There are also night fishing contestants, numbering several hundred in total.

I believe most of them are motivated by the tournament and want to practice their skills while fishing in a standard competition venue in order to prepare for the next tournament.

In this case, the fish density must keep up.

After all, during the two-day competition, at least 10,000 kilograms of fish were caught, although some players did not take the fish away or sell them on the spot, especially in the semi-finals.

It's all about the prize money, not the fish.

However, a lot of fish were caught overall, and fish needed to be released to maintain the fish density for the competition.

"Fish well and hone your skills, and you will definitely be on the list next time." Chen Yuan smoked a cigarette and encouraged the anglers around him with a smile.

After walking around, I found that except for the warehouse which was open as usual, all other buildings on the Datang side were fenced off.

Especially the stage, there are also sharp and curved locations, which still need to be further constructed.

Fortunately, the pond is wide enough and there are enough fishing spots.

"Have you finished drawing up the blueprints for the new countryside construction?" After Wang Tao released the fish, Chen Yuan walked over, took out a cigarette case and handed him a cigarette.

"It's done." Wang Tao nodded, took the cigarette and lit it. Without waiting for Chen Yuan to ask any more questions, he took out his cell phone and sent the design drawing to Chen Yuan.

"How long will it take here?" Chen Yuan asked as he took out his cell phone to check.

"It is estimated to take three days. Everything else is easy, except that the camera route is quite complicated." Wang Tao estimated and gave an approximate time.

The live broadcast screen, commentary room, and tip-and-bend modification are all easy to handle, but Chen Yuan has extremely high requirements for the live broadcast details, the demand for cameras is huge, and the various lines are very complicated.

"Okay, let's take care of Datang first, and then prepare for the construction of the new countryside."

Chen Yuan waved his hand. He trusted Wang Tao in the construction. Now it depends on the design drawings. If there are no problems, construction can start after Datang is completed.

"Yucheng Village has 400 registered households, and the new rural construction requires 400 households. The land on both sides of the road at the entrance of the village is limited, so we can only build small high-rise buildings."

Chen Yuan muttered secretly as he looked at the new rural design drawings that Wang Tao sent him.

The area at the entrance of the village is limited. The green space at the entrance of the village runs along the village road and is only more than 100 meters away from the village roads on both sides.

Judging from the markings on the drawings, there are less than one hundred and two.

With the road leading into the village as the center line, the lengths of both sides are almost the same, only over 100 meters each, and the total length is about 300 meters.

The total area of ​​​​open space at the entrance of the village is only about fifty acres.

It is definitely impossible to accommodate 400 households in this area, so we can only design a small high-rise building.
