Super Zoo

I originally thought that the award ceremony for the top ten outstanding entrepreneurs would only delay two or three days, and it would be enough to travel after the award ceremony. Unexpectedly, after talking with Wang Jianshe at the award ceremony, Su Ming was ready to start a new project.

As a last resort, the travel time with Nangong Yan was postponed again.

"I seem to have fallen into your trap step by step. It was obviously you who stood me up, but why do I still feel like you are very reasonable and not angry at all?" Nangong asked with eyes wide open and a little confused.

"No, no, the key is that you are broad-minded and have the style of a hostess!" Su Ming praised.

"When you say you are broad-minded, do you have to keep staring at my chest?"

"It's more intuitive and vivid this way."

...

After the award ceremony, Su Ming postponed his trip again. He first sincerely apologized to Nangong, then praised her chest and other topics, and finally vowed that next time, even if the sky collapsed, the mountains were gone, the sky and the earth merged, and the sun rose from the west, he would take her to Hong Kong to shop.

After returning to the zoo, an internal meeting was held early the next morning.

Since the zoo was restructured, although Director Song still had the title of director, he basically never came to the zoo to work. Occasionally, he appeared in the zoo and brought his grandson to play. He never asked about the work of the zoo. Every time there was a meeting, Su Ming sat in the top leadership position and Sister Tong presided over it.

"Deputy Director Su, everyone is here, how about we start?" Sister Tong sat on the side and asked Su Ming in an inquiring tone. The heads of several major departments of the zoo were all in the meeting room, with smiles on their faces.

On one side of the conference room, there is a large cabinet that is more than one person tall. In the huge cabinet, there are only a few old trophies and a few yellowed certificates, which looks empty. This is the honor display cabinet of the zoo. Judging from the situation inside, the history of the zoo is not glorious. The number is small and the time is long.

The two slightly newer trophies were obtained after Su Ming came. One was obtained in the last Yangtze River Porpoise incident, and the other was the outstanding entrepreneur this time.

The trophy for outstanding entrepreneurs should theoretically be placed in Dasheng Liquor Industry, but Su Ming is also the leader of the zoo. After thinking about it, he decided to put the trophy here to support the zoo.

The gold content of this trophy is very high, which means relatively strong financial resources and full support from the government. This outstanding entrepreneur trophy alone has almost overwhelmed all the remaining trophies in the display cabinet. Not only Su Ming has face, but the employees of the zoo are also very excited. Everyone hopes to follow a capable and promising boss. Su Ming is not only young and promising, but also very good to employees. Everyone present knew that the future of this young deputy director was the future of the zoo and the future of all the employees present.

Su Ming nodded, indicating that the meeting could begin. Sister Tong patted the microphone, coughed twice, tested the volume of the microphone, and then continued: "As everyone knows, Deputy Director Su was awarded the top ten outstanding entrepreneurs in Yangchuan City. Let us first congratulate him with warm applause."

Papapapa... There were not many people in the meeting room, but the applause was quite warm. When Chief Dong of the Security Department was in the army, he was said to have practiced grappling and iron sand palm. His palms were full of thick calluses. The sound of clapping was loud and crisp, and it was a bit eardrum-shaking.

Su Ming was sitting relatively close to Old Dong, and his ears were buzzing. He thought that the life of a soldier was so boring. Old Dong, you have such thick calluses on your hands. Did you really practice iron sand palm?

After the applause died down, Su Ming raised his hand and pressed it down slightly, smiling: "This is the result of joint efforts. In the future, not only will I win the award, but our zoo and all the employees present will continue to receive various honors. So, Sister Tong, please give us a brief introduction to the zoo's recent situation."

"Okay." Sister Tong opened a newly bought laptop and projected it on the big screen. The PPT detailed the zoo's ticket revenue, visitor flow, labor expenses, animal feeding and management expenses, office expenses, and other data for this quarter.

From the overall data, the zoo's passenger flow is currently growing steadily. If it continues at this growth rate, it will be able to achieve a balance between income and expenditure in the second half of the year, including the money to be paid back to the government finances.

"It is estimated that there will be a slight surplus by the end of this year." Sister Tong said happily.

Zoos are different from ordinary enterprises. Even if they are restructured, they are not for the purpose of large-scale profits. No matter how efficient they are in making money, they will not be as good as ordinary enterprises in a short period of time. If they can achieve a balance between income and expenditure, they can already operate stably. In fact, most zoos in the country cannot do this. As for the surplus, it is simply unimaginable for a pure zoo.

But Yangchuan Zoo has achieved this, and it has done so while carrying the government's financial debt. No wonder Sister Tong and the employees present are so happy.

"Ahem, everyone, be quiet." Su Ming coughed and said, "This time I went to the award ceremony and talked with Director Wang of the city. The city hopes that we will continue to work hard and continue to make the zoo stronger and bigger. I also think that it is not enough for the zoo to just maintain a balance between income and expenditure. There must be new growth points."

The people present had more or less personal relationships with Su Ming. Su Ming, a leader, usually didn't have any airs. The atmosphere of the meeting was relatively relaxed, and everyone was able to speak freely. After hearing what Su Ming said, the head of the finance department spoke first and said: "Of course this is a good thing, but I have calculated that our current number of tourists is almost saturated. Even if there is an increase in the future, it will be a steady increase and a small increase. Yangchuan After all, the city only has a population of a few million, and no matter how fun the zoo is, it’s impossible for everyone to come every week.”

There is a certain truth to this statement. The zoo's income mainly depends on admission tickets. The city's population size restricts the zoo's income. But even in big cities with a population of tens of millions, zoos may not be able to make money, because although big cities have large passenger flows, the investment costs are also high. Even if the two are offset, most of them still lose money.

Therefore, from the perspective of income sources, it is impossible for a simple zoo to make too much money.

Unless Yangchuan City is a famous tourist city, such as Xiangjiang, it can attract tourists from all over the country. When Su Ming and Director Song wanted to apply for a 5A scenic spot, they had this purpose in mind. However, it was just a zoo and it was basically impossible to apply for a 5A.

"If the number of tourists continues to increase, the security department will also need to increase its manpower, otherwise it will be too busy." Lao Dong said.

"Don't worry, Old Dong. If there are more tourists, the income will naturally increase. I will recruit more soldiers for you." Su Ming laughed at Old Dong before continuing: "What Director He said makes sense, just relying on the local people in Yangchuan City It is indeed impossible to substantially increase the number of visitors in a short period of time. However, expanding the zoo is not just from an economic point of view. On the one hand, we must make money, and more importantly, we must conduct public welfare science propaganda. Sister Tong, if I were If I remember correctly, in the past, a very important indicator in the evaluation of zoos by government departments was science popularization, right? "

"Well, the biggest indicator." Sister Tong nodded.

Su Ming took out a business card and handed it to Sister Tong: "Sister Tong, this is the business card of the vice principal of Runhua Public School. Their school will organize students to go to the zoo for outdoor development in a while. You can contact him first. Starting from Runhua Public School, we will conduct exercises with primary and secondary schools in Yangchuan City to promote science knowledge and awareness of natural environment protection.”

Runhua Public School is a well-known private aristocratic boarding school in Yangchuan City and even the whole province. It provides services from elementary school to high school. After high school, it can also assist with the procedures for studying abroad. Of course, the tuition fees are also prohibitively high and cannot be afforded by ordinary families. The educational level of this school cannot be said to be first-rate, but since most students have plans to study abroad in the future and will not take the domestic college entrance examination, they have always advocated the so-called 'quality education'.

Being able to jointly organize outdoor activities with Runhua Public School and earn some money for venue fees is second, but the key is opening the door to exchanges with primary and secondary schools. From the perspective of social responsibility, conducting education and science popularization for primary and secondary school students is definitely the best way, and it is also the most popular.

Runhua Public School is part of the huge Runhua Group. Unexpectedly, Su Ming also had contacts with Runhua Group. Sister Tong carefully collected the business card and smiled at everyone: "Look, I will say that our park He is young and promising, and the senior management of Runhua Group take the initiative to make friends with him.”

"Sister Tong, everyone here is our own person, so let's not praise or praise ourselves. This principal is the one I met during the meeting. It was just a casual relationship. He is not a high-ranking person."

Su Ming smiled modestly. It's a meeting. It's right for subordinates to praise their leaders, and it's also necessary for leaders to be humble and polite. He went on to say, "In addition to carrying out publicity work, we can't relax in business. Director He just said that Yangchuan City The population is limited, and it is impossible for tourists from other places to come to Yangchuan City just to see animals, so in order to expand the business and make it easier for tourists from other places to watch animals, I plan to set up an online live broadcast platform.”

Live streaming platform? Most of the employees present were stunned. The older ones didn't understand what this meant. The two younger employees who often surf the Internet first think of 'online female anchors'.

However, they soon understood what Su Ming meant. Su Ming's so-called online live broadcast platform was of the same nature as the online live broadcasts that are now emerging on the Internet, but the anchors were not posing big-breasted girls, but animals.
