A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 40 Boss, you

Chapter 40 Boss, you
Although last weekend's weekend was rainy and no customers came, resulting in a significant loss of income.

However, with the garden landscape opening this week, the number of visitors has begun to increase rapidly.

Daily customer traffic is increasing.

Qi Yue used a drone to film a video of the garden landscape and posted it on his account.

Netizens were instantly astonished when they saw it.

"This is the scenic area's garden? I've never seen it before!"

"So beautiful! These flowers are all so pretty!"

"Is this the scenic area? I want to go there to take photos, so don't lie to me!"

"You're lying! There was no garden at all when I went there two weeks ago!"

"It seems there is indeed one. I remember that more than a month ago, the boss personally drove an excavator to build this garden."

"What? The boss built it with an excavator? That's outrageous!"

"His previous videos are there; he really did dig them up!"

Netizens left comments in the comment section, and Qi Yue became popular again.

At this moment, looking at the blooming garden, Qi Yue felt an increasing sense of accomplishment.

It has to be the flower seeds that the system rewards you with; the feeling of growing them is truly different.

At this moment, the garden is already full of tourists.

Everywhere you look, you can see tourists taking photos and checking in.

Although we didn't make any money last weekend, thanks to the garden landscape, our daily visitor flow has increased significantly compared to before.

At least before winter, the scenic area's revenue was still quite considerable.

"The event can only attract a large number of tourists at one time, and the initial promotion and communication also require a large investment."

"For a scenic area to develop well, it still needs to rely on the attractiveness of the landscape itself."

"Holding events is just icing on the cake."

Qi Yue thought to himself.

He was naturally happy to have more tourists, since he could finally start making money.

Qi Yue was strolling around the scenic area when the little yellow dog, like a little shadow, followed him everywhere.

At this moment, the little fox Honghong ran over from somewhere and, after entering the scenic area, also ran to Qi Yue's side.

There were quite a few tourists around, and the little fox was clearly a bit flustered.

"Why are you here?"

Qi Yue was somewhat surprised.

"There are a lot of people here, so don't wander off."

Qi Yue rubbed its head.

Many tourists were taking photos and enjoying themselves in the garden.

Just then, several girls noticed the fox next to Qi Yue.

They exclaimed in surprise:
"Ah! Look over there, there's a fox, how cute!"

"Oh my god, what an adorable fox!"

Are they also animals in the scenic area? Can we feed them?

"This is the first time I've ever seen a fox, it's so cute!"

They immediately surrounded them.

The little fox was clearly frightened and immediately hid behind Qi Yue's legs.

Resting her head on Qi Yue's calf, she cautiously observed the approaching tourists.

Qi Yue quickly explained:

"Excuse me, everyone, these are not foxes raised in the scenic area, but wild foxes from the mountains."

"Wild foxes are a Class II protected animal in China and are protected, so we cannot interfere with them."

As Qi Yue was speaking, the little fox, somewhat afraid of the people who were gathering around, immediately stood up and hugged Qi Yue's leg.

At the same time, it also made soft whimpering sounds, as if saying:
"Yes, that's it."

The tourists were completely stunned.

No, boss.
You won't let us touch you, but you can hug me, right?

"Boss, may I touch it?"

"Is this definitely a wild fox? It doesn't seem like it!"

"It's hugging your leg!"

"What a cute little fox."

The tourists who gathered around held up their phones and chattered amongst themselves.

Qi Yue hurriedly explained:
“It’s a real wild fox from the mountains. I rescued it before, and it’s become quite friendly towards me.”

"It's rather afraid of other people."

"Just don't get too close."

Qi Yue understood the little fox.

The staff at the scenic area had seen the little fox in the office area and wanted to touch it, but the little fox ran away very quickly.

She wouldn't let anyone get close at all. She was just naturally drawn to Qi Yue.

That's normal, as most wild animals are very wary of humans.

Qi Yue had helped the fox and gained its trust, which is why the fox became close to him.

"Boss, you're living such a wonderful life!"

"I want to keep a fox as a pet too!"

"I really want to touch it!"

The little fox's reserved demeanor made it even cuter, and many tourists felt completely charmed by its cuteness.

Several girls approached and reached out to touch the little fox. The little fox turned its head and ran a few steps away, then looked back warily.

In this situation, Qi Yue couldn't say anything.

Then, the little fox stood there for a moment, looked around, and then ran away.

Tourists at the entrance noticed this scene again.

"Look over there, there are foxes in this scenic area!"

"You run so fast!"

"This place is really nice!"

Everyone was talking and laughing.

Qi Yue knew the fox had probably run back to the yard, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, it's a wild fox.

The tourists meant no harm; they simply found the fox cute and wanted to pet it.

But foxes don't just fawn over everyone.

Thinking of this, Qi Yue couldn't help but smile.

While it may not have become a Nike logo, it still gives one a sense of pride.

As expected, it had to be me.

He let out a sigh of relief and then strolled around the garden landscape.

While we're at it, let's see where maintenance and improvements are still needed.

With so many people around, it's quite relaxing to stroll around like this.

After a while, I felt tired and went to my Mixue Ice Cream shop.

There were quite a lot of people in line.

This shop does a good job. Although the revenue is not high on weekdays, it makes a lot of money on weekends and holidays.

After all, this is the only store in such a large scenic area.

Some savvy business people come to Qi Yue, wanting to rent shops in the scenic area and open franchise stores.

These people saw the development potential of the scenic area.

To put it bluntly, if a rental contract is signed and the customer flow continues to increase, then it's a huge profit.

The rental fees for popular tourist attractions are exorbitant. For example, the annual rent for a small pavilion on the Broken Bridge in West Lake is 284 million yuan, which translates to 7780 yuan per day.

The key point is that there's still a profit margin at this price, which shows how high the profit can be when opening a store in a popular tourist area.

Qi Yue declined for the time being.

Since there's no way to manage it uniformly, if a contract is signed and the other party sets a high price, it could damage the scenic area's reputation.

Store manager Sun Xue was busy when she saw Qi Yue coming over and quickly said:
"Boss, we have too many customers now, and we can't keep up with the demand on weekends."

"Such a large scenic area, and there's only one shop."

"We need to open a few more stores."

"I recently heard that someone wants to open a shop near our scenic area. We can't let someone else do the business."

Hearing Sun Xue's words, Qi Yue smiled slightly and said:
“It’s okay. The land outside the scenic area entrance is all mine. It’s all wasteland around here, so no one else can open a shop here.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Xue was slightly taken aback.

Listen, is this human talk?

All the land outside is yours?

Why should I worry about the boss?
"Okay, boss, I'll get back to work now."

Sun Xue turned around and went to make milk tea with her employees.

There are still quite a few unprocessed orders.

However, Sun Xue is right; we really do need to open a few more stores.

When customers come, money follows.

It's all profit.

We can't make much money just from ticket sales; we need to give tourists opportunities to spend money.

So, Qi Yue started thinking about which store to franchise.

It must be a nationwide chain that the vast majority of people can accept.
