The fishing ground I opened has become a national leisure destination

Chapter 295 How to Play Custom Pond

"There are not many people as good as me in the world."

At night, Chen Yuan hummed a little tune and rode his tricycle to the middle of the small pond and the big pond.

"Wow, Boss Chen's lyrics are more interesting than the original. They convey a sense of awesomeness of a wealthy family." The anglers near the pond heard Chen Yuan humming and began to make fun of him.

“Have you heard this song?”

Chen Yuan jumped off the tricycle in surprise. He had just finalized this song with Ye Zhi at the beginning of the month, so he dared to sing it. And judging from the tone of his fishing friend, he had obviously heard it before.

"Of course I've heard it. This song has been widely promoted on short video channels online. It's a must-listen song late at night." The anglers around said with a smile.

It's a folk song.

The deeper the night gets, the more emotional it becomes when listening to the songs. In the words of those who later generations made fun of folk songs, it is the affectation of emptiness and loneliness.

"It seems that the publicity is very powerful." Chen Yuan muttered secretly.

It was finalized at the beginning of the month, and it’s not even the end of the month yet, so it’s only about half a month left, and it will be released and gain a certain degree of popularity.

In addition to the quality of the song itself, the most important thing is publicity.

As the saying goes, there are many good horses but few good horse trainers. There are many cases of pearls being covered in dust. In this day and age, not all gold will shine.

This also shows that the God of Wealth, or their family, has some connection.

"Do you know who sings this song?" Chen Yuan asked curiously.

“I haven’t really paid attention to this. I just thought the melody was good when I heard this song, but I haven’t deliberately tried to learn more about it.” The anglers around him shook their heads.

For anglers, fishing is their biggest hobby. They rarely pay attention to other things and do not have enough time for fishing.

If a song can leave an impression on them, it is already a great success.

I just hope that's all.

Don’t let the song become popular but you are not.

It seems I'll have to find out later.

Let’s get down to business first.

Chen Yuan walked towards the truck bed, took out the water pump, then carried down a circle of water pipes, and finally took out the electrical wires.

"Wow, the pump is here. Boss Chen is going to clean the pond." The anglers near the pond looked at him in surprise when they saw the equipment Chen Yuan brought down.

On the other side of the big pond, many anglers turned around and looked over with curiosity.

"Boss Chen, are you going to clean the custom pond?" asked an angler, probably because he saw the reservation reminder for the small pond.

"Customized pond, what customized pond? Has anyone customized it?" Other anglers were very curious.

"Well, a member wants to bring company employees for team building, so we set up a customized pond as a team building activity. As a big sponsor, we must provide good service." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"Who is it?" the anglers asked curiously.

"Who else could it be? The wealthy God of Wealth." Chen Yuan said.

New customers may not be familiar with the name God of Wealth, but old customers all know who he is, and they also know that God of Wealth runs a company.

"Boss Chen, how do you play this custom pond?"

I am not curious about whether Caishenye has the ability to customize Baotang, I am just curious about the customization model.

"It's very simple. If it's a pure play mode, the fishing ground will charge a labor fee. Just like the God of Wealth this time, he borrowed the ground for pure play and didn't want to catch any fish. We were responsible for cleaning the pond and releasing the fish, and we charged 3,000 yuan for the labor fee in two days."

Chen Yuan explained: "If you want to catch fish, it depends on the length of the customization and the fish fee. Simply put, the customized ponds at Chen Yuan Fishing Grounds can make profits or losses."

"What does that mean?" The anglers became even more confused.

"Let's put it this way. Take the customization of the God of Wealth this time as an example. He customized a crucian carp pond and asked for 2200 kilograms of large crucian carp. If you don't want to play with it and want to catch fish, I will charge you yuan, and the time limit is one day."

Chen Yuan continued to explain that there was a slight adjustment in the charging conditions. It was no longer two days. After all, under normal business conditions, the daily fishing fee was a considerable amount.

The price quoted to the God of Wealth just now was indeed a friendly price, and there is definitely no such discount available to others.

The anglers around him pondered over what he said.

Then a fellow angler said in surprise: "2200 yuan a day, kilograms of large crucian carp, Boss Chen is probably going to lose money if he does this."

Although the fishing ground purchases goods from fish merchants, the unit price is definitely cheaper than the market price, but that is only for wholesale. If you want to choose a batch of similar ones, sometimes the unit price is even more expensive than the market price.

The cost of 2200 kilograms of large crucian carp is at least more than yuan. If the angler who ordered it can clean the pond, not only will he not be able to make back the cost, but he will also have worked in vain for a day.

Not only did I lose money on costs, I didn't get any compensation for my hard work, and I also wasted a day of business. All in all, I lost at least several thousand dollars.

Shouldn’t custom-made ponds be a sure win?

Boss Chen actually did this?
"Theoretically, there is indeed a possibility of loss, but the more this is the case, the more it can stimulate the enthusiasm of anglers to customize." Chen Yuan smiled calmly.

Everyone wants to do a business that is sure to make a profit. The crowdfunding model of customized ponds is the most popular among fishing grounds, but it is not sought after by anglers. The reason is that no one wants to play a game that is bound to lose money.

Only this model where both profit and loss are possible can ensure the enthusiasm of anglers.

Moreover, theory is just theory, and the probability of actual loss is still very small. After all, no matter how powerful an expert is, he dare not say that he can clear the pond.

Even if all the contestants in the semi-finals came to fight, it would be almost impossible to clear the pond.

It’s just a question of how much profit you can make.

"I have to admit that Boss Chen is really good at doing business. He makes me want to find some friends to customize one for me."

"Let's not talk about who catches more fish and who earns more among friends. The whole custom pond may not be without the possibility of landing a profit, which is indeed more interesting than fishing like this."

The anglers around him carefully thought about Chen Yuan's words, and then many of them showed strong interest.

But I'm still a little hesitant.

"Boss Chen, if you customize the pond, how many fish can you catch at most?" an angler asked seriously, obviously he was really considering customizing the pond.

"Honestly speaking, I don't dare to set the standard line directly. Otherwise, if the players in the semi-finals form teams to play, the probability of me losing will skyrocket." Chen Yuan spread his hands, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The anglers around also laughed.

"Different people have different standards, and the density of the custom pond cannot be too far off from the density of the competition, so."

Chen Yuan continued speaking, then changed the subject and said, "What I can guarantee is that the density of fish in the customized pond will not be less than 15% of the total value, and can be more than 25% at most."

"Such a high proportion?" The anglers exclaimed upon hearing this.

They all knew what these two numbers represented.

Take the customized pond of the God of Wealth as an example. Based on the fact that 20,000 yuan can buy 2,000 kilograms of large crucian carp, and the minimum excess is 15%, Boss Chen will have to release 2,300 kilograms of fish.

The maximum amount of fish that Boss Chen needs to release is 2,500 kilograms.

Although this density is not high and is far less than the density of small pond fishing in the past, the value is completely different.

A custom pond for one day gives you seventeen hours of fishing time, even if you follow business hours, which is equivalent to a little more than two games as before.

The normal fishing fee is close to 200 yuan. If you can find 60 people to play together, the fishing fee is just over 300 yuan, but there are only big crucian carp in the pond, so the difficulty is naturally different from that of a mixed pond.

Isn’t this more interesting than simply fishing for the fishing fee?
"Fishing is a boring sport. Adding some fun to it will be more conducive to the development of the sport."

Chen Yuan smiled and continued, "Besides that, there are other options. How many people want to play, what kind of fish they want to catch, how many fish they want to release, and how to pay can all be negotiated. Customized ponds are definitely based on customization, and other conditions are supplementary."

There is no strict standard for custom ponds. Different people have different requirements, so the charging standards will naturally be different.

"You can play for fun, customize with Boss Chen, or customize privately. This customization pond is really interesting. Does anyone want to form a team to play?"

Chen Yuan did not have any strict rules or restrictions on the customized pond and was very inclusive. Some anglers on the spot wanted to form a team to have fun, which was at least more interesting than fishing now.

"You can form a team at any time and come to me for customization at any time." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

The reason why there are no restrictions on custom-made ponds is to allow them to be expanded and quickly increase the number of people who come to fish.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Chen Yuan waved to Chen Dequan in the distance. Chen Ming and several employees saw this and came over.

"The small pond will be booked tomorrow. After the night fishing is over, the water in the small pond will be pumped out, all the fish will be cleared out, and the giant green bream will be temporarily placed in the big pond with a fish guard."

Chen Yuan sorted out the wires and water pipes and gave instructions.

"It's just a water pump. The efficiency may be a bit slow. I'll go back and get the one from home later." Chen Dequan said as he took the wire from Chen Yuan.

Chen Ming and the others were also saying the same thing.

In the countryside, everyone relies on the fields for their livelihood. Every family has a water pump. If we bring a few over, a two-acre pond can be pumped out quickly.

Chen Yuan didn't refuse.

"After pumping out the water to clear the pond, do we need to pump the water back?" Chen Ming asked.

"No need. Take a rest after pumping the water and catching the fish. Come back to pump water tomorrow morning." Chen Yuan thought for a while and shook his head.

Company team building is completely different from fishing with anglers. As an employee, I don’t have the passion for fishing that anglers have. At seven o’clock, some people may still be sleeping.

No need to rush at all.

There is still enough time to pump out the water slowly tomorrow morning, and the fish can only be released after the God of Wealth and his companions arrive. Having a good relationship is one thing, and business is another.

The fish must be released so that the sponsor can see it.

"Okay, let's take care of the pumping." Chen Ming looked at the time and began to make arrangements.

Chen Yuan did not refuse. The fish pond matter was originally handed over to Chen Ming, and he was happy to have some free time. He said hello and rode his tricycle home.

As soon as he got home, he saw the light in the living room was on. Chen Yuan thought his parents were still awake, but when he walked into the living room, he saw Chen Li fiddling with the computer.

"What are you doing?" Chen Yuan asked.

"I'm making payroll reports." Chen Li responded without even raising her head.

It’s near the end of the month, and according to the process, wages have to be paid on the last day of the month. The payroll must be prepared in advance, and the wages will be paid after the employees have checked and confirmed that there are no problems.

"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Yuan smiled and didn't dare to disturb him.

At first, all these tasks were his, but later he handed them all over to his elder sister. He now has a lot more free time, but his elder sister still has a heavy burden on her shoulders.

He was very considerate and poured a glass of water for his sister, then prepared to leave.

But when I got closer to take a look, I was a little surprised.

"Wow, the salary is not low."

At a glance, I saw several that cost over ten thousand.

Of course, the focus is mainly on Chen Ming, Chen Mo and others.

Then there is the catering aspect.

The salaries of other employees are not high, but with the wages for taking time off for construction, as well as some bonuses, the average salary can reach about five thousand.

As far as the village is concerned, this income is quite good.

"If Yucheng Village continues to develop in this way, as long as they work hard, the income of employees will only get better and better, and it will not be a problem to reach an average of 6,000 yuan."

Chen Li smiled brightly, picked up the water cup and took a sip, then continued: "It is not a problem for the eldest brother and the second brother to earn tens of thousands a month, especially the second brother."

As she spoke, Chen Li pointed to Chen Ming's salary slip.

As far as employees are concerned, Chen Ming has the highest salary, much higher than his elder brother Chen Mo. After all, the treatment given by Chen Yuan is very good.

Chen Mo's base salary is 8,000 yuan, plus a 3% profit share. Chen Yuan also takes out 10 to 30% of his share.

It's easy to earn over 10,000 yuan a month.

Chen Ming is treated better.

In addition to the basic salary of 8,000, there is also a dividend from the fish pond's turnover. Although it is only 0.5%, it is the turnover, not the net profit.

Now that the three ponds are in operation, the daily turnover starts at at least hundreds of thousands. With a profit of 0.5%, we can earn several hundred yuan a day.

It’s easy to get over ten thousand.

"It's a good thing that our family can make money." Chen Yuan sat down and took out a cigarette from his cigarette box.

"Of course, and only when our employees make money can we make money." Chen Li naturally understood this truth.

Besides, the eldest and second brothers are family members, and the more they earn, the happier they are.

"How are the business of the amusement projects this month?" Chen Yuan asked while smoking a cigarette, taking this opportunity to understand the business situation.

"The water park is definitely not as good as last month, but the children's park business is very good. In September, more than 2,000 monthly passes were sold, and more than 2,000 monthly passes for October have been sold so far. The sales have broken the record." Chen Li spoke of the monthly passes with a bright smile on her face.

The business of the children's playground is very stable. Other projects will be launched in the future and some projects will be continuously updated. Even if it does not continue to skyrocket, I believe it will be stable.

"Our monthly card is cheap and allows unlimited play. There is also National Day in October, so the investment can be recovered in just one holiday." Chen Yuan nodded slightly.

If nothing unexpected happens, October should be a peak, and the rest will have to wait until the winter vacation.

"Well, business in September is generally slow. Now we are just waiting for the National Day holiday. Except for the monthly card, other packages have holiday discounts." Chen Li said, and also flipped through some activity items.

"Holiday activities are a must. Just take care of it." Chen Yuan took the ashtray and knocked it.

Although holidays are the peak travel season and many people go out to play, only a certain level of activity can attract more tourists.

Not only the recreational activities, but also the fishing grounds need to offer some discounts.

"You're relaxed."

When Chen Li heard Chen Yuan asking her to take care of it, she rolled her eyes and turned to the computer to continue sorting out the payroll.

"I say the same thing. Don't overwork yourself. If you really can't do it, just let go of other tasks and focus on the important ones." Chen Yuan extinguished his head and said seriously.

"I know." Chen Li said with her head down.

Chen Yuan shook his head and smiled, without saying anything, he stood up and went straight upstairs.
