Start by trimming cow hooves

The iron gate of the shooting and hunting range has long been eroded by time and has become rusty.

Not to mention that the barbed wire fence built in the early years has long been of no use. It is covered with vines and plants. The wild boars use this place as their nest and can come and go freely.

Suri originally planned to tidy up the shooting range and reopen it.

Now it seems that it is better to completely overthrow and rebuild it, so as not to not meet the positioning of a luxury resort island and make tourists feel that their money was wasted.

After all, he has been in the upper class circles for so long.

Su Rui knows very well that in high-end service industry business, the most important thing is not how strong the advantages are, but how low the shortcomings are.

For example, a magnificent five-star hotel that invested hundreds of millions of dollars in decoration may receive negative reviews from customers just because the ashtray was not wiped clean.

In this Internet age.

The lethality of customer reviews is not as simple as writing a complaint letter in the early days.

In the past, store clerks could do whatever they wanted and throw complaint letters into the trash can as if nothing had happened. Since other customers didn't know about it anyway, their influence was very limited.

Bad reviews left online may stay with Lanai for many years, affecting the perceptions of other potential customers.

So now that you have decided to live on Lanai, you should seriously manage this private land.

Suri only hopes to make everything the best possible, rather than just making do with what can be done. After all, in the tourism industry, anything with the word "high-end" is basically made by throwing money at it.

Not to mention laying a large lawn and shooting targets facing the sea, at least it must provide a comfortable environment.

The pile of shabby iron buildings in front of me is obviously not up to standard...

In just a few seconds, Suri decided to bulldoze the place.

In addition, in line with the idea of ​​not wasting, we plan to purchase machines to make bottled coconut water, provide it to hotel customers, and sell it to outsiders in exchange for some tangerine rations.

He thought of a question at this moment and asked Amanda, the secretary said:

"How big do you think my funding gap is, two hundred million U.S. dollars? Three hundred million U.S. dollars? The airport has not been built, and the second resort hotel has not been secured. At least let me have a figure first, so that I can have the motivation to make money."

Secretary Amanda shook her head and said:

"I don't know. It mainly depends on how far you want Lanai to be developed. If you want to build a building like the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, it will cost more than a billion dollars in the blink of an eye. A small private airport, at least They all require 90 million U.S. dollars, and even if we spend a full 2 ​​to 3 billion dollars, we can easily spend them all.”

"...Although it is shocking, it makes sense. There is no need for the Burj Al Arab Hotel. Special hotels such as sand houses, tree houses, and water houses are more likely to attract tourists. Most of them live in cities. Compared with high-rise buildings, For a building-type hotel, unique rooms are more attractive.”

As soon as Suri finished speaking, Amanda hit the target and said:

"These special guest rooms are not cheap, and the materials have to be shipped by sea from other places. I went to the Maldives Four Seasons Landa Giraavaru Island for vacation during Christmas last year. I heard that the cost of a water house is US$550,000. That’s even if labor costs are cheaper than in Hawaii.”

Suri raised her hand to ask Secretary Amanda to stop, with a melancholy tone:

"Stop talking, I'm going to cry. You know, I'm impatient. Although I can always raise money if I wait, the feeling of waiting is very torturous."

Secretary Amanda said with a smile on her face and a shrug:

"I believe you can do it. As the locals often say, this is Hawaii. Apart from paying taxes and going to work on time, you don't have to worry about anything else."

"Having said that, it still seems like there is something unfinished, and it is inevitable that I will always think about it..."

Suri was speaking.

At a casual glance, he unexpectedly discovered a huge wild boar standing on the grass, staring at him.

He hurriedly patted Secretary Amanda to alert him to the wild boar's movements.

In many parts of the continental United States, there are often news of wild boars overflowing and attacking humans. These guys have rough skin and thick flesh, and are nicknamed "little land tanks."

If a big guy weighing 700 to 800 kilograms attacks someone violently, its fighting power cannot be underestimated. Even if it is just rubbed by them, it is likely to cause severe fractures and serious injuries, and even go to see God.

He rode the motorcycle lightly, bent down and carried the dazed Daju in front of him.

Suri just waved to Secretary Amanda to get in the car, and the next second she saw a huge adult wild boar, grunting and screaming, rushing towards this side with all its strength.

There are relatively few people on the west side of Lanai, and the local wild boars are used to running rampant and are very wild.

The more panicked, the easier it was to make mistakes. Under the urging of Secretary Amanda, Suri pedaled twice without starting the old motorcycle, and couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it! What a broken car!"

Seeing the wild boar's figure becoming clearer and clearer, there are many younger brothers following behind him.

When the distance was only ten meters, the fat old Harley finally failed to disappoint Suri, and a large cloud of thick smoke came out from behind.

He immediately shifted gears and turned the accelerator, doing it in one go and speeding away.

Secretary Amanda hugged Suri tightly around her waist. When she turned around and saw the wild boar standing on the trail, she stopped chasing. She burst out laughing and said excitedly: "It's so exciting!"

"Are they coming?" Suri just looked at the road ahead and didn't dare to slow down.

"No, it's gone."

"That's good."

Stimulated by adrenaline, his heart was still pounding. Suri finally felt relieved and said, "How amazing is my little brother? When I return to the cattle pen, I will find someone to take revenge. I didn't offend them just now."

Secretary Amanda replied:

"Suddenly it occurred to me that the trail in the coconut grove just now might have been stepped on by wild boars. To be precise, we have indeed violated their territory. If the wild boars often run into the town, the residents of Lanai Town will not easily Let them go, and the wild boars that can be left behind are often smarter and will not easily appear in inhabited places."

Suri heard what she meant and continued:

"I don't really want to exterminate them. I can leave them for tourists to explore when the time comes. However, if we develop the area near the original coconut grove, there will inevitably be some conflicts with the wild boars. We need to be a little more vigilant. The old cowboy Andy must be more experienced than me, so he should Know how to deal with a herd of wild boars.”

Soon we returned to the gravel-paved fork road, read the road signs to identify the direction, and continued riding forward.

Compared to the scary herds of wild boars, the wild deer on the roadside seemed much docile. They gave way obediently when they saw someone and calmly ate the grass beside the fence.

There are more than 3,000 wild deer living on Lanai, and their numbers are expanding rapidly.

When you go outside Lanai Town, you are more likely to encounter wild deer than people. This scene is not uncommon.

besides.

There are also some wild goats and wild turkeys living in the area, most of which have escaped from residents' homes over time.

In order to protect Hawaii's endemic species, the state actually issues a number of hunting licenses every year.

Since 98% of Lanai's land is privately owned and hunters cannot obtain authorization to enter, exotic species such as wild boar and wild deer will increase rapidly.

Suri does not belong to the more extreme category of animal advocates.

Compared with just protecting, on an island like Lanai, maintaining regional balance is more important.

For example, if there are too many wild deer populations, some of Hawaii's unique plants will suffer catastrophe, and many have completely disappeared from the earth.

After walking around today, he found that the situation on the island seemed more lively than he originally thought. He thought that perhaps hunting activities could be appropriately relaxed to avoid flooding in the future...
