Chapter 1447 You Come to Be the Principal!

Tan Xinzhang said: "That is my father, Tan Yingjiu, but he is old, his ears are very hard, and he can't hear other people's words clearly. He doesn't communicate with people very much, and he just takes care of these animals all day long."

"He is not only the director of the zoo, but also a buyer, cleaner, conductor, veterinarian, breeder, and guide... Every morning at 5 o'clock, he pedals a tricycle to buy food for the animals. After returning, he cleans the pens, Feeding and watering, occasionally receiving some visitors, from morning to night, that’s how it goes day by day.”

"I also like animals, and I often help him, but...he wants me to take over, and I don't think I can do it."

"When my father is really a hundred years old, I may pack all these animals and send them to other zoos, so I won't do this."

Pei Qian asked: "The economic benefits are not good?"

Tan Xinzhang smiled bitterly: "It's not just bad? It's just losing money."

"The cost of raising animals is too high. Boa constrictors and crocodiles all eat live animals. Whether it's chicken or fish, how much do you have to eat in a day? XZ Mastiffs, mules, horses, and macaques are relatively good, but my father I don't want to save money on this."

"In addition to ticket income, my father also contributed a lot of his own retirement expenses, just to make these animals eat well. But that's it. It's not easy to make them eat well. Well, as for renovating the fence, I dare not even think about it."

"The point is that my father's life is worse than that of animals. Have you seen the dilapidated one-story house next to the fence? My father usually lives there, and he just eats and eats. It's okay if he is a few decades younger. Things, now that I am older, how can I continue to toss like this."

"My parents divorced when I was a child, and a big reason is this zoo."

"To be honest, I'm quite contradictory. I know my father is not easy, so I try to help him as much as possible, but if I help more, he always wants me to take over."

"But I think there is no need for this zoo to continue to exist."

"In the past, this zoo was quite popular because the environment was relatively closed, and people in this small county had no other places to see animals. But now that the economy is developed, let's not talk about going to some large wild animal parks, just drive to Isn’t it convenient for Jingzhou Zoo to see animals? Who would come to this kind of zoo.”

"The entrance fee is getting less and less, which is enough to show that this kind of private zoo is no longer popular and should be eliminated."

"Although I like animals more, I am also a human being, and I have to live a normal life. I can't do what my father did, spending thirty or forty years of my life on these animals."

"Hey, I accidentally talked too much. Actually, I shouldn't talk about this. Come on, Mr. Pei, let me show you these animals."

Tan Xinzhang took Pei Qian to a few horses. These horses seemed to be in good spirits and were happily eating forage.

After seeing Tan Xinzhang, another brown horse moved its head closer, and after Tan Xinzhang touched the horse's head, it snorted happily.

Then, I looked at the macaques and pythons kept indoors, and they seemed to be in good spirits. Especially the monkeys, jumping up and down to eat, looked more lively than the monkeys in some large zoos, I don't know if it was an illusion.

But inevitably, there is still a strong smell, and the whole environment is really not good.

Although the old man Tan Yingjiu cleans every day, under such conditions, no matter how much cleaning is done, it is impossible to have good sanitary conditions.

But Pei Qian is not entangled with these now, he has been thinking about what Tan Xinzhang said.

This thing is pure loss of money!

It's even more optimistic than I imagined!

Take this zoo as an example, the entrance fee is only 20, what can you do with 20 these days? Moreover, these animals have to spend a lot of money just to eat every day. Many carnivorous animals have to eat live animals, and the cost of food is higher than that of humans.

If the animals were to go wrong, it would cost even more.

Many people can't continue to open a cat cafe. The difficulty of raising wild animals is many times higher than that of a cat cafe.

The old man Tan Yingjiu persisted for 30 years and even raised lions and ostriches. If he did not rely on strong will, faith and love, he would never be able to persist.

However, from Tan Xinzhang's words, Pei Qian also got some inspiration.

How can the zoo lose money?

The most important point is that it must be small and not too big.

A small zoo with few types of animals, so it doesn't look interesting. The price of tickets has been reduced, and it is impossible to achieve the effect of small profits but quick turnover.

In the past, because the economy was underdeveloped and the traffic was blocked, some small zoos would be visited by people. Now that the transportation is so developed, not to mention the zoos in foreign countries or super first-tier cities, the zoos in various prefecture-level cities can eat most of the needs of Handong Province.

Therefore, small zoos with fewer animal categories will only become less and less viable, and gradually fall into a vicious circle.

The old man Tan Yingjiu spent most of his life in this zoo. Of course he was unwilling to accept this reality, but Tan Xinzhang was a young man who saw things much more clearly than his father.

That's why Tan Xinzhang said that after his father's 100 years, he should close this zoo and send the animals directly to other zoos.

He is also a human being, and he has to live. Old man Tan Yingjiu was divorced because of this zoo at that time. In Tan Xinzhang's current situation, if he keeps fighting with this zoo, he may not even be able to get married.

Pei Qian couldn't help but smile slightly, don't you think it's just a coincidence?

You met me, then we can have a good talk!

Pei Qian simply turned around in the zoo, nodded with satisfaction: "Well, not bad."

"I intend to move the entire zoo to Jingzhou. What do you think of you as the director?"

Tan Xinzhang was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

He never expected that Boss Pei would say such a thing.

According to the most optimistic estimate, Mr. Pei can arrange some employees to come to visit, or feel compassionate, and donate some money casually, which is already very good for Tan Xinzhang.

Why move the zoo?

Anyone can see that this zoo has no value at all?

These dilapidated houses should have been demolished long ago. As for the animals inside, although there are some wild animals, which zoo outside does not? Not to mention rare and precious.

Moreover, if you let yourself be the head of the garden, you are not that material at all?

The director of the zoo must be a professional talent who graduated from a university, right?

Tan Xinzhang hurriedly said: "Mr. Pei, this is not suitable. If you want to build a zoo, you can do it directly. These animals are not rare animals, and they are not worth it."

"As for the director, it's even more inappropriate. To open a zoo now, you must pay attention to scientific feeding and let professionals come. My father and I are both Yeluzi. Although I have learned some knowledge by myself, being the director of a large zoo Long, that's still too much difference..."

Tan Xinzhang knew that if Mr. Pei wanted to build a zoo, the scale must not be small, otherwise it would not conform to Tengda's behavior style at all.

Pei Qian had a serious expression: "Hey, what you said is wrong."

"Animals don't matter whether they are rare or not. They are all equal. How can you favor one over another? These animals have been with you father and son for so many years, and they have some affection. Send them to other zoos. There are so many animals. It's hard to be treated the way you are now."

"As for my zoo, at the beginning, I mainly try to keep some rare animals. I think these animals are very good. Although they are very ordinary, they are very energetic and happy. That's enough."

"As for the head of the garden, you don't have to worry about it. I think the most important thing is to have a heart that truly loves animals. Professional knowledge is easy to handle. I will arrange a few professional people to help you when the time comes, breeders, veterinarians , are all professional. If you need any advice, just ask.”

"You are the head of the garden, you don't need to worry about these trivial things."

"The key is the spirit of your father and son, I am very moved!"

"Of course, I understand the current situation very well. Don't worry, the place to move this time is not far from Jingji Hostel. Although it is on the outskirts of Jingzhou, the neighborhood is relatively lively and the transportation is convenient. When the time comes The two of you are regular employees of Tengda, and there are no shortage of benefits. These animals can also get better care, at least the food and living environment can be greatly improved. "

Tan Xinzhang looked a little confused.

This... certainly sounds good anywhere.

But here comes the question, what is Pei always planning?

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a pure waste of money and a completely meaningless behavior.

Seeing that Tan Xinzhang was still a little hesitant, Pei Qian said: "In this way, you can sign a contract with Tengda first, and then I will allocate some funds to you. You can hire a few people to help the old man take care of the zoo here. When you go to Jingzhou, You can participate in the whole preparation process of the new zoo, so there is nothing to worry about, right?"

Tan Xinzhang thought about it, and it was indeed the case.

Although he couldn't think of a reason for President Pei to do this anyway, he couldn't even think of a reason for his refusal.

"Okay, Mr. Pei, let's do this. I'll talk to my father about this first, do some ideological work for him, and settle things in the zoo here a little bit, and then I'll go to Jingzhou to find you."

Pei Qian nodded: "Yes, you can just contact me directly when the time comes."

After choosing the candidate for the director of the zoo, Pei Qian returned by car without delay.

Although the director of the zoo has been decided, the specific operation mode of this zoo still needs to be carefully considered.

Although the zoo is already losing money, Pei Qian does not intend to copy this model completely, after all, the objective conditions have changed.

If the zoo continues to operate here, even if the entire zoo is bought, how much money can it burn? A drop in the bucket.

What Pei Qian wanted was to move the zoo to Jingzhou to explore a scalable way to burn money. Once this model experiment is successful, then you only need to continue to expand the scale, and you can burn money without a limit. Wouldn't it be great?
