#1169 Private Zoo (1)

In the early morning, the streets of Las Vegas were extremely deserted, and the whole city fell into a kind of tranquility after the glitz. The night of feasting, singing and dancing was peaceful, and people were still enjoying the rare peace in their respective comfort zones. Lost luster, everyone is lying on a bed, no one has money and no money, comfort is common.

The streets are no longer bustling and noisy, and under the blue sky, Las Vegas has become less commercialized and full of temptations, but for ordinary people, it may only be in this time period Only then did I have the courage to go out to prove that I live in such a city.

When Yang Cheng opened her eyes, she happened to see Aragaki Yuixiang coming in from the door dripping with sweat. She was wearing a jogging suit, with a white towel hanging around her neck, and a few strands of hair were wet and stuck to her cheeks, her face dizzy. Pick up a touch of pink.

"Did you go for a run?" Yang Cheng asked sleepily.

Yui Aragaki smiled enthusiastically like a desert, "Well, I didn't expect the morning here to be so quiet, as if the whole city hadn't woken up."

Yang Cheng smiled, retracted her head back under the quilt, and said softly, "This is Las Vegas~"

The filming process last night was too tiring, but the finished film turned out to be good. According to his own point of view, it is not a problem to win an Oscar for Best Actor and Actress. Unfortunately, this film can only be enjoyed by oneself after all.

Although I opened my eyes at this moment, the whole person seemed very sleepy, there was no way, the process of filming was so boring, the same action was repeated over and over again, and the next scene could not be entered until the best shot effect was achieved. Good Yui Aragaki is professional.

"Where are we going today?"

Yui Aragaki, who took a shower and put on new clothes, asked while wiping her hair with a towel.

Yang Cheng didn't raise his eyelids, and asked with closed eyes, "Is there any place you want to go?"

"I listen to you~"

Yang Cheng thought for a while, "Why don't you go to my ranch? Consider it a vacation."

Aragaki Yui knew nothing about it, and nodded in response.

So, after the two had breakfast, Yang Cheng drove back on the same road, but got off the highway in Santa Barbara on the way. He hadn't returned to the ranch for a long time, and the road was unfamiliar, so he had to use the navigation to find it.

White also arrived with them. He was notified shortly before departure, and White had to drive hard all the way. As a result, he had to come out to meet Yang Cheng before he could take a break to catch his breath.

To be honest, it is not a good time to go to the ranch for vacation. The grass is not green enough, the water is not clear enough, and the animals seem listless. But compared to the noise of the city, this place is still a holy place that can cleanse people's hearts.

After parking the car, White personally drove Yang Cheng and the others to the northeast corner of the ranch. After a whole year of construction, the zoo was finally fully completed. Relying on the virgin forest, it covers an area of ​​up to 300 acres, giving wild animals The most spacious living space is for this point, no one dares to accuse Yang Cheng of cruelty to animals.

On the way to the zoo, White was still introducing some changes to the ranch to Yang Cheng, "It took 10 months from the start of the zoo to its completion, except for some animal cubs bought at the animal auction at the beginning, Jeff Lowe has successively introduced hundreds of species of animals, many of which are rare species. At present, he has also established cooperation with the Sao Paulo Zoo in Brazil, the Basel Zoo in Switzerland, and the Los Angeles Zoo, and will gradually introduce more species from these zoos.

Enrich the animal species of the zoo. "

Yang Cheng nodded, "Jeff Lowe did a good job, is the zoo open to the public now?"

White affirmed, "Although you don't aim to make profits, sir, Jeff Lowe is still very responsible. Before the zoo was officially completed, he got in touch with nearby schools and organized students to visit the zoo for free. The purpose of the trial operation is to find loopholes in the service; the second is a means of publicity in disguise.

According to his report, many children who have been to the zoo with school will choose to ask their parents to bring them to come again during the summer vacation, and the zoo has almost kept adding new species of animals every month, which also makes the zoo popular among regular customers. Maintaining a high degree of excitement and freshness, the zoo annual pass just launched this year has sold thousands of copies. "

Yang Cheng was really surprised. He didn't expect that his private zoo had already started commercial operation. "Tell me about the annual pass."

"The suggestion of the annual card was put forward by an assistant recruited by Jeff Lowe. The assistant used to work in the Basel Zoo and was recruited by a headhunter to serve as the assistant to the director. He is very talented and has a great understanding of animals. Caring lad.

According to his suggestion, the annual card is divided into two types: single-person annual card worth 149 US dollars and family annual card 299 US dollars. Both are real-name systems. The former can only be used by one person, while the latter is based on a family. No more than 3 people at the same time admission.

Of the thousands of annual cards that have been sold, more than 90% are family annual cards. "

Yang Cheng immediately did the math, "In other words, the zoo has already made a profit of 300,000 U.S. dollars just by selling the annual pass? That's not counting the retail tickets? By the way, how much is the normal ticket price?"

"Yes sir, Geoff Lowe is pricing retail tickets at $19 a pop, free for ages 8 and under, half price for ages 8-16."

“The price is very reasonable~”

White suddenly said, "Sir, I'm also considering, if the ranch's vacation projects are fully open, can this annual card model be introduced?"

Yang Cheng pinched his chin and thought about it, and rejected the proposal, "It's unrealistic, no one will choose to go to the resort multiple times a year for vacation, once a year is already a very high frequency, it's better to set up a package The price includes all the items in the ranch, of course some items require additional charges.”

"I see, sir~"

We talked about the ranch all the way, and soon came to the main entrance of the zoo. Now a new fork road has been built from the entrance of the ranch to the zoo. This is to facilitate foreign tourists to visit the zoo without disturbing the environment outside the zoo. .

Jeff Lowe, who was notified early, led a man with curly hair and glasses standing in front of the gate.

The gate of the zoo is designed in the shape of an arch. The English of the Jason Zoo is written in colorful fonts full of childishness, embedded directly above the arch, which is very eye-catching.

Below the arch is a modern access control facility. On the left is the service desk and the surrounding gift shop, and on the right is the ticket office. Two security personnel are separated on both sides of the access control. They are wearing dark green uniforms and black berets. Seriously, always watch for any suspicious persons moving in front of the door.

At the same time, Yang Cheng noticed a family of four with two adults and two children strolling over from the parking lot on one side. black T-shirts, denim jackets tied around the waist, and everyone has happy smiles on their faces. The parents are not very old, probably less than 30 years old, but the child looks like 4 or 5 years old age.

They exchanged the printed tickets at the ticket office for passes and hung them around their necks. Before entering the door, two children, a man and a woman, were arguing to buy food. The boy shouted childishly, "Mommy, I want ice cream." ~"

The girl, on the other hand, looked contemptuous, imitating the tone of the adults, "Children only eat ice cream~"

The boy was upset, "Shut up Alice, you are my sister~"

The girl had a clear logic and replied directly, "But I don't want to eat ice cream~"

The hot mother knelt down and pampered her son and daughter's heads, "Okay, stop arguing, one of you wants ice cream, the other doesn't, right?"

After finishing speaking, she looked at her daughter with playful eyes, 'Are you sure you don't want to eat'?

The girl named Alice hesitated for a moment, then said firmly, "No, children only eat ice cream~"

While they were talking, the young and handsome father had already returned with two ice cream cones, "Really don't want to eat it? Then I'll eat the extra one?"

Finally, Alice couldn't hold it back, and snatched it over, "No, why can't I eat it when the naive Tony can eat it~"

The little boy Tony still wanted to satirize his sister, but his father flicked his head, "Okay, you are a brother, don't always quarrel with your sister~"

A family of four entered the gate of the zoo noisily, and Yang Cheng said with emotion, "Seeing such a scene, I feel that the decision to invest in the zoo is right."

Jeff Lowe reacted and echoed, "Of course boss, I can guarantee that in a few years, our zoo will be the most desirable place for children in America."

"I look forward to~"

"Come on, let's go in and see the fruits of Jeff's hard work."

Entering from the gate is a winding forest path. The dense bushes cover the sight of tourists, creating a sense of expectation and mystery. The signs that can be seen everywhere help guests to visit better, so as not to get lost or miss the scenic spot.

Yang Cheng did not choose to take a battery car to visit. Instead, he entered the venue on foot like tourists. Jeff Lowe followed him instead of White, and introduced, "Boss, the current scenic spot is divided into four major theme sections, which will soon appear in front of our eyes. 'African Grassland', this area gathers a variety of common animals from the African prairie, including African elephants, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, hippos, antelopes, flamingos and nearly 50 species of herbivores.

The most worthy of our attention is that in May last year, two mountain gorillas were rescued from poaching gangs. After I negotiated with the animal protection organization, I brought them to the zoo. His intelligence quotient and rich expressions have become the big stars of the 'African Grassland' scenic spot.

Moreover, they are one male and one female. The female orangutan was pregnant when she was captured by the poaching gang. She gave birth to three cute baby orangutans shortly after receiving them from the zoo. After we announced the news, people from the Los Angeles Zoo took the initiative to seek them out. Cooperation, in the future, the mountain gorillas at the Los Angeles Zoo will borrow from each other to contribute to increasing the number of mountain gorillas. "
