The excitement during the Spring Festival is fleeting, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Jinghu Scenic Area ushered in the first anniversary of the official opening, and the Jinghu Company did not hold any celebrations, but canceled the tourist tickets for a week before and after the anniversary.

Although the cost of ten yuan is not worth mentioning, the move of Jinghu Scenic Area to benefit tourists has still won praise.

The current domestic scenic spots, which one is not dead for money, where is like the Mirror Lake Scenic Area, the idea of generating income is put on improving service levels and opening more tourism projects, rather than just staring at ticket revenue.

From the perspective of operating income structure, ticket revenue only accounted for less than 1o% of Jinghu's total revenue in 2oo9, which is simply negligible. This situation is in stark contrast to the fact that the ticket revenue of the vast majority of scenic spots accounts for a quarter or more of the total revenue, which is also directly related to the business strategy of each scenic spot.

At this stage, most of the income-generating projects and operation ideas of domestic scenic spots are limited to ticket revenue, forming a pattern of occupying the mountain as the king, which is criticized. In particular, many popular scenic spots, in the tourist season, take the opportunity to raise prices, but at the same time lose the reputation of tourists while improving economic benefits.

In Xiao Feng's view, scenic spots should lower the fee threshold, increase amusement projects, and improve service levels, so that tourists can be more willing to pay for consumption.

In the past 2oo9 years, the Jinghu Scenic Area has received a total of 3o tourists, and if it is charged at the standard of 5o yuan per person. That's more than 10 million. The Jinghu Company only charges a symbolic 1o yuan for tickets, which is used to maintain the environment of the scenic spot, increase the safety and security facilities of tourists, and so on.

The low ticket fees of the Jinghu Scenic Area have also increased the reputation of tourists to the scenic spot. The impression is better, and they are more willing to spend money in the scenic area.

The two are offset. In fact, the profit level of Jinghu Scenic Area has not declined, which has to be said to be another victory.

Starting from the eighth day of the first lunar month, the Jinghu system, including Xiaojia Farm, also ended its vacation, and all work began to get on track, and many jobs that were temporarily interrupted due to heavy snow and the Spring Festival were restarted.

Among them, the second phase of the Jinghu Hotel, which has been suspended for nearly two months, once again resounded with the roar of various construction machinery, and the workers are building the hotel building at a level of one floor every five days.

Due to the limited buildings in Ginkgo Village, no matter how much it is expanded, it cannot accommodate more tourists, so the second phase of the Jinghu Hotel is built. It will solve the accommodation problem of most tourists in the scenic spot. According to the plan, after the two phases of the Jinghu Hotel are put into use, there will be more than 8oo standard rooms, nearly 200 business suites and top suites, which can receive 15oo guests at the same time.

Coupled with the B&B inn in Ginkgo Village, the maximum reception capacity of the entire Jinghu Scenic Area reaches 4ooo people, which can basically meet the needs of the exhibition at this stage.

At the same time, the construction of Ginkgo New Area is also in full swing, which is predictable. When the new area is completed, more hostels, guesthouses and hotels will spring up like mushrooms after a rain, further enhancing the reception capacity of the Jinghu Scenic Area.

In the long-term planning of Jinghu Company, Jinghu Scenic Area will form a large-scale scenic spot with an annual reception of 1oo tourists in 2o12. For this. The construction of various infrastructure must be ahead of the curve, and there must be no phenomenon that cannot meet the needs of tourists.

It can be said that the east bank of the Lancang River after the Spring Festival has become a huge construction site. A new city is rising on the banks of mountains and rivers!

…………

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Long Cheng arrived at Ginkgo Village alone. The old man really couldn't rest assured that the Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkeys were in danger, even if Xiao Feng and Xiao Qiang would pass on the observation records to him every day. For this. He was often counted down by his wife, saying that he regarded these monkeys as much more important than his son and grandson.

Long Cheng didn't care about theorizing with his wife, so he packed his bags and took the train from Chuncheng to Yaozhou, and finally it was the car of Jinghu Company that took him from the train station to Ginkgo Village. There is no way, the car drivers of the research institute are still on vacation, and everyone is not worried that Longcheng, who is over seventy years old, drove nearly 1,000 kilometers from Chuncheng to Ginkgo Village in the slippery condition of spring rain.

As for the other members of the expedition team, they will continue to be in place after the eighth day of the Lunar New Year to continue to observe and study the Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkey group and the flora and fauna in the Jinghu area. At the same time, the application for the Jinghu area to be declared a national Yunnan snub-nosed monkey sanctuary has been submitted to the State Forestry Administration, and the approval process has begun, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it is approved.

After all, as a national treasure-level endangered protected animal, the Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkey has always been valued by the government, and the national policy will always favor them; At the same time, as an authoritative academician in the field of Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkey research, Long Cheng has great influence and deep connections in the Academy of Sciences and government departments, and the approval process is naturally fast.

Long Cheng returned to Ginkgo Village, and Xiao Feng and Xiao Qiang were the happiest, because they didn't need to observe and record the monkeys every day, and their daily feeding activities became happier.

In order to prevent the monkeys from affecting the lives of the villagers, Xiao Feng deliberately moved the feeding site from the old house dam to a small valley near the source of the Qingling Mountain Spring, and set up a fence to prevent tourists from transitioning to the monkeys.

Feeding the monkeys every morning and evening has now become a routine for visitors to the Mirror Lake Scenic Area, with hundreds of tourists taking pictures around the valley with their cameras every time.

Tourists have uploaded a large number of photos to the Internet, and over time, this group of Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkeys has become one of the symbols of Jinghu Scenic Area and Ginkgo Village, attracting more and more tourists to come to watch. In particular, these monkeys are like a well-trained army, and they are lined up in an orderly manner when eating, which has aroused more interest from tourists.

According to the incomplete survey results of the Jinghu Company, since the Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkeys appeared in Ginkgo Village, more than one-third of the tourists came to the Jinghu Scenic Area because of the monkeys, especially those with children.

It is foreseeable that with the increasing fame of the Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkey group, they will become a treasure to attract tourists in the Jinghu Scenic Area, and eventually establish an important factor in the status of the Jinghu Scenic Area.

The return of Academician Longcheng allowed Xiao Feng to get out of the task of observing the monkey herd and focus more time and energy on the foundation of the Mirror Lake system - Mirror Lake Ranch!

In the past two months, due to the low temperatures and heavy snowfall, grazing at Jinghu Ranch has been greatly affected, and the cattle have to be kept in a barn, relying on green fodder and hay for maintenance. Although this method of feeding can also ensure the daily consumption of the herd, it is not conducive to the improvement of milk production, quality and the length of beef cattle.

Therefore, as soon as the weather improved, the top management of Mirror Lake Ranch conducted a comprehensive inspection of the ranch in order to obtain first-hand information and decide whether it was possible to start grazing.

Of course, as a veteran of ranching business, Ma Wanli believes that it is unlikely that the conditions for grazing will be met at this stage.

According to Ma Wanli's experience at the Nanzhao Butterfly Ranch, it is not until at least the end of February that the pasture grass in northwest Yunnan that has been suppressed by the low temperature of winter can regrow.

It's just that when Ma Wanli and Xiao Feng inspected the entire ranch together, they realized that their previous experience could not be placed in the Mirror Lake Ranch at all.

After the snow melted, I thought that the grass covered by the ice and snow for nearly two months would rot and rot, but I never thought that the grass would soon return to its normal growth state under the sunlight. Ma Wanli even took some samples and took them back to the ranch's real room for testing, and now the nutrients and fiber content of these grasses are the same as before.

Even if he was accustomed to the magic of space forage, Ma Wanli still felt a little incredible, in his opinion, the foundation of the entire Mirror Lake system was actually on this inconspicuous pasture.

For this reason, the decision to re-graze was made quickly, and the cattle that had been holding back in the barn for a winter could finally run freely in the vast and boundless pasture, enjoying the blue sky and white clouds, and the clear spring pasture!

At present, the total number of Holstein cows in the entire Mirror Lake Ranch has exceeded 30,000, more than half of the Holstein cows have given birth to their first litter, and the rest of the cows are also pregnant, and will soon be imported for the ranch. As for the 2,000 Angus black cattle breeding cattle, there have been 15oo births, and the size of the entire herd is expanding rapidly.

Of course, there is still a big gap between the scale of such a stock and Xiao Feng's expectations, and it is obviously too slow to rely on the expansion of the scale of the ranch itself to achieve a certain plan. Therefore, Xiao Feng decided to buy more Holstein cows and Angus black cattle again, and the scale will be bigger than last year!

In this way, the number of dairy cows in Jinghu Ranch can reach 60,000, which is not far from the scale of 100,000 heads, which is expected to be reached by the beginning of 2o11; As for the Angus black cattle, Xiao Feng decided to buy another 20,000 heads, so that they can approach the 50,000 head mark, so that the first and second phases of the pasture will not be wasted.

However, this time there is no need to organize transportation at Jinghu Ranch, Ma Wanli only needs to lead the team to the breeding center in Beiping, and after selecting the breeding cattle, the seller will naturally send the cattle to Jinghu Ranch. After all, the current Jinghu Ranch can be regarded as a big customer, and each breeding center has done its best to win the order of Jinghu Ranch.

Only when the stock of the pasture reaches a certain scale, the milk tea produced every day can meet the production needs of Jinghu Dairy, and the installed milk powder production line can be put into use. For the Jinghu system, only by increasing the production capacity of Jinghu Dairy, the profits of the entire system can rise significantly, and finally consolidate the foundation of the entire system.

Judging from the current situation, the entire Jinghu Ranch and Jinghu Dairy have entered the stage of a virtuous cycle, with the support of space pasture and space spiritual spring, as long as it expands according to the original plan, it will sooner or later become the world's best milk source and top beef production base!

In this regard, Xiao Feng and Ma Wanli are full of confidence! (To be continued......)
