Chapter 6 Yes, that's what I'm talking about

"I'm sorry, I'll see if you can help." Brandon pointed to the barbecue, "I don't mean to interrupt your conversation, it's just that what you're talking about is my specialty, and it sounds interesting." ”

Hall Xin said, "It's good to be professional", put down the shovel and stood up: "It's okay, welcome to join the discussion, do you have any insights on what I just said?" ”

"Hall, I may call you that, I'm curious about how to combine cultural travel with rural travel?

As I just said, there are many manors, castles and ancient buildings in China that are developing cultural travel projects, and the same is true for rural tourism, but there is no combination of the two.

If the cultural tourism represented by the manor and the rural tourism project represented by the farm can be well combined, this will be a new direction of commercial tourism. Brandon elevates the topic to the entire "tourism industry."

Holden was dumbfounded, he only knew that when he traveled to the UK in his previous life, he basically visited the manor to experience the cultural monuments, then rode horses, parachuted to play entertainment, and finally went to the organic farm to pick some pure green and healthy vegetables to make a meal and buy some souvenirs.

It is necessary to analyze how the concepts of "rural tourism" and "humanistic tourism" are combined behind this, and what is the core logic of the business plan...... It's really hard for him, a "financial broker" who doesn't know how to learn.

Hall changed his mind in an instant and said, "Professional is really annoying", and quickly thought about the relevant memories in his mind, and one thought flashed through his mind: "Maybe, we can convert those buildings into B&Bs." ”

As he spoke, he raised his chin at the abandoned humble hospital and the main building of the manor in the distance.

"B&B, or hotel? Sorry, the definitions of the two are very different, and I'm not sure if the definition of homestay is the same as what we know. Brandon confirmed.

Not long after the word "B&B" first appeared, the concept was more ambiguous, and in most of Europe the concept is farmhouse; In the UK, the concept of homestay is basically the same as in later generations, and nowadays most rural families provide a bedroom for passing tourist backpackers, manage breakfast, and earn some money to supplement the family.

"No, don't be a commercial hotel, and naturally we're going to make accommodation part of what visitors to Orange Manor does...... Visitors live in that main building, like the owners who have lived in that building for a hundred and fifty years, and experience ......" Hall racked his brains to get to the point as much as possible.

Brandon clasped one hand to his chest and the other to his chin: "Experience? I probably understand that in fact the farm and the manor do not need to be combined, the farm is part of the manor.

Like you said, a hundred and fifty years ago, the owner of this place would wake up in that main building in the morning, go to church for a service, then make rounds around his farm, go hunting on horseback in the afternoon, and have a drinking party in the dance hall in the evening.

Rural tourism, humanistic tourism is the division of the tourism industry by relevant practitioners, tourists do not need to care about these messy concepts, tourists go to live in a country house to experience the pastoral life, to Orange Manor to experience the same way of life, the lifestyle of the ancient aristocracy.

The key to our discussion is not to combine concepts of one kind or another, but to have everything that Orange Manor itself has...... Am I right? This is a great idea, thank you, you have inspired me to recognize the nature of tourism! ”

"Yes, yes, that's what I said!" Hall nodded excitedly, and was very glad that he had crossed over to become a rich second generation, even though his mouth was invincible, and there were "dog legs" around him.

If he travels to a poor family and wants to create a business and do something practical, his own skills alone are really enough.

Brandon's tone was a little more eager: "......, so, are you planning to develop Orange Manor into a commercial travel project?" ”

If the Orange Estate is developed into a commercial travel project and can be entrusted to Campbell Asset Management, it will be a good bargaining chip for him to take charge of the family business.

Hall smiled and looked at Carolyn, who had been silent throughout the whole process: "Aunt Caroline, what do I think?" ”

"It's great, but it's not a conference room and I'm not an investor. Two gentlemen, my charcoal fire is going to be extinguished. Caroline smiled slightly,

"Well, we talked too much and ignored the lady's feelings." Hall shrugged and picked up the shovel.

Brandon naturally squatted down to help: "Yes, maybe we need to prepare a formal business plan." ”

"Then you have a lot to prepare, and I hope you can make Orange Manor stand out from the thousands of castles and manor estates in England." Caroline replied lightly.

The corners of Hall's mouth curled up slightly when she heard this, Aunt Caroline is really a wonderful person, she likes to tease children at home, and she is full of professional ability to treat people and things outside.

"The "Industrial Heart of England" was once the glory of West York due to the devastation of the war (World War II), the land was abandoned by the council lords of the City of Westminster, the rich moved away, the industry moved elsewhere, and the workers here did not care whether they lived or died.

So there is no way to leave the people, but to rot in the land, like fertilizer to nourish the super high crime rate, the drunks who like to watch football and the punks who roar at the throat.

Later, football and punk became popular and loved by countless people, so the land re-entered people's vision.

Since the beginning of 1980, the West York Region has embarked on a painful period of economic transition, focusing on the development of the tertiary industry, services, finance, tourism and ...... As of the second quarter of this year, 84.5% of Manchester's workforce was engaged in business services, with Leeds' tertiary sector accounting for more than 60%. ”

Brandon put down the shovel he was holding in his hand, stood up and looked directly at Caroline: "So, if you ask me how to make Orange Manor stand out from the castles and manors of England, my answer is: No.

Orange Manor is located in a prime location in the tourism industry of England, with 6 million inbound tourists in the UK from 1986 to 1987. ”

Hall and Caroline scrutinized him unabashedly, their shoes scratched on their feet, mud on their trouser legs, and soot on the backs of their hands.

Brandon pulled a smile on his face and rubbed the carbon ash on the back of his hand: "I graduated from the London School of Economics and Political Science, and Campbell Asset Management runs farms and hotels for many wealthy people, and I am a professional." ”

Caroline asked "how to solve the homogenization of commercial projects", and Brandon replied "wait for the government to make the plate bigger, geographically"; That's a good answer, as far as Hall knows, in later generations from Manchester in the west to the vampire town of Whitby in the north.

Not only in the West York region, but in the whole of York, it is the heart of the British tourism industry and a tourist destination in Europe.

It's a great place to develop tourism, and there are football, punk, fish and chips; The scenery has a coastline, castles, white roses; For history, this is the "County of God".

From this, it can be seen that Brandon is capable.

"The young man is very aggressive."

Out of respect for talent, Hall decided to help him: "I have to say that your way of speaking is very literary, but it doesn't make any real sense, do you know what is the key to developing Orange Manor into a commercial tourism project?" ”

"Sorry...... Mr. Hall, would you like to give me an answer? Brandon felt like he was just one step away from seizing the opportunity.
