Chapter 63 Public Service Advertisements
After knowing the situation of Mickey Mouse, Xu Wenjie was not worried about what problems this guy would have, how many mice are on the African savannah, I believe no one can count the specific number.
But, to be sure, there are a lot of rats here.
When driving back to the castle, I found a group of people taking pictures around the lions that had returned from predation, and this before and after comparison made many tourists confirm that this group of lions is indeed a wild lion on the grassland.
This also makes all the tourists who enter the lion pack to take pictures more excited, a photo of themselves walking in when the lions are resting, and then a photo of the lions coming back from hunting and walking in to take a photo.
After the two photos are taken, as long as you send them to the circle of friends, see who is saying that they are not brave enough in the future, but we are the people who walked into the wild lions when they were eating meat.
These photos speak for themselves, forming a heated discussion on the Internet, some envy, some jealous, and of course, many more people want to take this kind of photo.
Plus Tom, Orlando and the two female stars all take such photos and upload them to their circle of friends. These four guys obviously brought a wave of rhythm, and the heated discussion changed from ordinary people to some celebrities who also participated.
In addition to the lion's side, the war elephant's side also made some thrilling scenes, such as people being carried up by elephants with their trunks. One guy even sat on an elephant and played the guitar.
Anyway, these tourists are trying to find a way to take some maverick selfies without harming the animals.
This kind of spontaneous propaganda by tourists is much more powerful than Xu Wenjie's spending money on publicity, and people on the Internet will stir up the topic without them doing anything.
However, there are a lot of complaints on the Internet about the tourism charges here, and there is no way, such a price is unacceptable to many ordinary tourists.
Of course, there are also people who understand that Xu Wenjie's ranch investment and various expenses have been calculated, and the result is that he is still operating at a loss. Because not counting the investment in housing construction and other things, it is a huge amount of money that is paid to those employees every month.
Working in Africa, the salary of the average local person is very low, but for those employees from Asia, Europe and the United States, the minimum wage is about 10,000 yuan in RMB.
And most of Xu Wenjie's chefs and staff here are far more than this number.
In addition, a lot of the food here is mostly flown in from abroad, and this cost actually accounts for a large part of his income.
According to the minimum standard of 8,000 US dollars, in fact, the travel expenses of 5,000 people add up to a very large consumption, more than 200 million yuan, but after deducting various expenses, Xu Wenjie does not make money, which is a very bad thing.
If you really make money, it may be some extra spending in the restaurant after some people come here.
In fact, Xu Wenjie knew at the beginning that the cost of seven days was set at 8,000 US dollars, but in the end, after reading the various bills given by Uncle and Jensen, he did not object. Because according to their calculations, if it is lower than this price, no matter how rich he is, it is impossible to plug this hole.
For the wealthy, spending this little money, there is no feeling to travel here, compared to some large shopping cities, the cost of travel is indeed low, but the cost of shopping there is much higher than the cost of travel.
But here in Xu Wenjie, even if you want to spend money, there is nowhere to spend it, because there is nothing to buy here.
Of course, the Kenyan government has been in contact with the uncle and hopes to open some Kenyan specialty shops here, and tourists can buy some if they want to buy when they leave.
The plan has been agreed, but the site of construction is no longer inside Xu Wenjie's grassland, but outside the grassland. A special market will be built there, which will be filled with souvenirs from Kenya and African countries.
Tourists want to buy these souvenirs completely out of the principle of voluntariness, and Xu Wenjie will not participate in the trading of these goods.
In fact, this can be regarded as a kind of protection from the Kenyan government that the uncle seeks, and it is believed that the Kenyan government has benefited from the tax revenue brought by the first guests.
As long as they taste the sweetness from it, if the grassland pastures run into trouble, I believe that the Kenyan government will not sit idly by.
You must know that there are many grasslands in Africa, and there are many grassland resources in Tanzania next to Kenya. I believe that as long as the Kenyan government is not a fool, they will not let such a golden phoenix fly to other countries.
When the time comes, if there is really any trouble in the ranch, I believe that Xu Wenjie will not ask, and the Kenyan government will help him solve it as soon as possible.
According to the current situation, the number of tourists during this period must be full, and after a while, the number of tourists may decrease.
When he walked to the gate of the castle, Xu Wenjie saw Qian Fatzi and a few of them, carrying a small basket, walking outside.
"What are you doing here?"
"Picking wild fruits, just now a tourist found a wild fruit forest over there, let's go over and pick a little and come back to taste it."
Xu Wenjie was speechless, these guys actually wanted to pick wild fruits to eat, but most of the fruits in Africa are semi-wild and semi-artificially planted.
"Don't pick too much, maybe those wild fruits are some kind of animal food."
After they left, Xu Wenjie thought about whether to choose an area to grow some fruits for tourists to use.
Moreover, there will definitely be many animals that need to eat fruit in the future, and it seems that this matter will have to be put on the agenda. It's best to buy some finished fruit trees and come back with the kind that will bear fruit the next year.
The cultivation of pasture has begun, and the breeding of dairy and beef cattle has also begun, and these things are the responsibility of Brother Narolla. All the work is done by African locals, so the salary is relatively low, which reduces part of Xu Wenjie's expenses.
Before Xu Wenjie walked into the courtyard, he was stopped by the Western chef who was cooking dinner tonight, and then he handed a menu to Xu Wenjie and said, "Boss, are you sure that tonight's dinner will be according to this." ”
Hearing the words of this Western food master, Xu Wenjie was a little puzzled, he picked it up and looked at it, spicy chicken, cold noodles, roast duck, braised pork......
"What's wrong, there's nothing wrong with the menu?"
"There's nothing wrong with the menu, but tonight's chef is me. If you don't find it unpleasant, I wouldn't mind giving my craft a try. ”
"Huh!"
Xu Wenjie was speechless, who did this, let a Western chef cook Chinese food, don't they want to eat at night!
"Who gave you the menu?"
"A little girl gave it to me."
Okay, Xu Wenjie knows who it is, the only one in this yard who can do this kind of thing is Nicole's little girl, she has been hungry since she ate these foods made by Lao Yang Tou from the first day.
"The dishes on this menu can be delivered to the restaurant later, and the rest will be as you usually make. In the future, if no one specifically asks for it, the menu only needs to change slightly every day. ”
In fact, Xu Wenjie himself has never eaten a few meals in the castle at all, and most people in the castle eat in restaurants. There are just a few people who want to open a small stove alone every day.
Xu Wenjie thought about whether he would give an order in the future, and the guy who wanted to open a small stove would solve it by himself for dinner. Otherwise, it would be too wasteful to have a chef come from the restaurant every day to cook.
An hour later, when Xu Wenjie changed his clothes and came out of the room, he found several people who had gone to pick fruit sitting in the courtyard outside, with empty baskets next to them.
"What are you?"
"I didn't pick the fruit, and I was attacked by a group of monkeys, but I didn't expect there to be monkeys in the fruit forest."
There seems to be nothing strange about monkeys in the wild fruit forests of Africa, do these guys think that there are no animals living in such fruit forests?
"Okay, you guys also have nothing to do, if you have that time, you can also help Uncle."
"Yo, who's going to help me, I happen to have one thing here that no one does."
The uncle walked in from outside, holding a stack of documents in his hand. When Xu Wenjie saw this, he knew that he was going to sign again.
"Me."
Qian Fat Man is very conscious, he has also rested in the past two days, it is time to enter the work state, and he is not here to play.
"You, well, just right, help me deal with these cooperation proposed by the Kenyan government, which should be your strong point, to eliminate some projects that we can't cooperate with here, and to modify some cooperation plans."
As he spoke, he took out some of the materials and put them in front of the fat man.
Seeing this situation, the fat man wanted to pump himself, which was obviously jumping into the uncle's trap.
"Wen Jie, this is a document from the World Animal Protection Society, you can take a moment to read it. They'll be coming tomorrow and they'll tell you about the PSA shooting. ”
"Oh, you've seen it, and if it's okay, I'm not going to read it. Anyway, it's a public service announcement, and we're not going to make money from it. ”
"You can still make some money, and the staff who come here to shoot have to pay for living here. In addition, you have to take a look at these, mainly the documents sent by some advertising agencies, and they want to cooperate with you to let Simba shoot commercials. Now it seems that you can't make money running this ranch, but those animals can make money for you. ”
Xu Wenjie didn't think there was anything, in fact, he knew from the beginning that it would be this kind of result. When the time comes, you can use the money you earn from these animals to raise these animals.
"You should go to a professional to see this first, but I'm not busy talking to them about advertising now. Because, now they can't give me a high price. ”
Although Simba is very famous now, with the situation of those companies, it is impossible to pay much money for Simba to shoot commercials.
If you want Simba to have a high advertising fee, it depends on the situation on Tom and Orlando's side, because these two are now really ready to make a movie in which Simba is involved in the main role.
ps: It's October 1st, thinking about tomorrow, I found that there are a lot of things to do, you have a holiday, we have to be busy!
