Chapter 1 A Scenic Spot on the Verge of Bankruptcy!

If you have never known Heilongshan, it is useless to call it a scenic spot. Reading

…

The empty entrance of Heilongshan Scenic Area.

The fourteen large square characters welded on the iron frame are already mottled in color.

This character is missing a horizontal stroke, and that character is missing a stroke, which looks extremely bleak.

"This scenic spot is definitely the worst scenic spot I have ever visited, no doubt about it. If I come again in the future, I will be a grandson!"

"For this broken scenic spot, the ticket dares to charge 30 yuan. I feel cheated for 3 yuan!"

"What did I say? At the beginning, I said to go to Baiyun Mountain next door. You must come here to try it. You wasted a day in vain."

"Okay, okay, stop complaining. It's just a once. Just avoid pitfalls in the future."

The two pairs of men and women came out of the scenic area exit complaining, got on two off-road vehicles respectively, and left without any reluctance.

Luo Jingning held a burning Yuxi between his fingers, leaning against an old silver-gray Jetta with a bleak look, and bid farewell to two pairs of unfamiliar travelers with his eyes.

Other people's scenic spots were overcrowded, and tourists huddled in the toilet to keep warm.

His own scenic spot was deserted, with only three or two tourists every day, and when they left, they would ruthlessly complain and give bad reviews.

There is no harm without comparison...

A year ago, Luo Yuanshan, the former chairman of the Black Dragon Mountain Scenic Spot, Luo Jingning's grandfather, died of liver cancer.

Before his death, the old man handed over the Black Dragon Mountain Scenic Spot to Luo Jingning, who had just graduated from college.

He also asked him to run the scenic spot no matter what.

Originally, Luo Jingning thought his grandfather loved him.

After taking over the scenic spot, Luo Jingning realized how bad the operating conditions of the scenic spot were.

He even began to doubt whether his grandfather was cheating him.

Including the four people who just left, the scenic spot only sold 586 tickets in a whole year.

Ticket revenue was 17,580 yuan, and other secondary charging items revenue was 2,400 yuan.

The total revenue was 19,980 yuan, less than 20,000 yuan.

This is the current situation of Heilongshan Scenic Area.

In a year, let alone making money, even the wages of employees were paid by Luo Xunning with his pocket money accumulated for 24 years.

Of course, Heilongshan Scenic Area has not always been like this.

The scenic area used to be very profitable and had its highlights.

In the most popular years, more than 100,000 tickets were easily sold in a year.

The total revenue was four or five million, and the net profit was more than two million.

The reason why it has reached the point of today's decline has to start with the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area next door.

To put it bluntly, it is competition among peers. As all walks of life begin to roll inward, scenic spots are no exception.

Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area is an industry under the local leading enterprise Wanlong Group, with a total investment of more than 3 billion.

It is a comprehensive scenic spot integrating tourism, leisure, entertainment, shopping, accommodation, film and television shooting, etc.

The old Heilongshan Scenic Area is like the difference between a firecracker and a space rocket when compared with the newly opened Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area next door.

There is no comparison at all.

The most terrible thing is that the geographical location of Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area is still on the only way from the city to Heilongshan Scenic Area.

The two scenic areas are only 4 kilometers apart.

It's like opening a large comprehensive supermarket in front of a small store.

It is conceivable that 99% of the tourists in Heilongshan Scenic Area are intercepted by the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area in front.

Without tourists, there is no income, and without income, there is no money for publicity and promotion.

Without publicity and promotion, there are no tourists, and then there is no income.

Heilongshan Scenic Area has entered a vicious circle.

For more than a year, Luo Shuning has been looking for a way to break the deadlock.

However, facing the overwhelming publicity and promotion of the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area next door.

Many of Luo Shuning's attempts and efforts have failed.

Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area is strong, and the publicity expenses for one year alone are enough to build several Heilongshan Scenic Areas.

How can we have fun?

"We'll work until the end of the year to see if there's any improvement. If not, we'll have to give up."

After finishing a cigarette, Luo Shuning sighed, opened the car door and prepared to get in and leave.

"Boss! Wait a minute, wait a minute."

As soon as Luo Shuning's hand grabbed the door handle, he heard someone calling his name behind him.

Turning around and looking at the person, she was a tall girl with a bun and a first love face.

A simple pair of blue jeans outlined the perfect curves of the girl's lower body.

A loose red and white POLO shirt with the words "Heilongshan Scenic Area" printed on it could not hide her figure that made men salivate and women envy.

The girl's name was Shui Miaomiao. She was Luo Shuning's assistant and the director of the scenic area office. She also served as the customer service manager, ticket seller and tour guide.

Although she held multiple positions and made great contributions, her salary was not high, with a monthly income of 1,800.

Shui Miaomiao is the legendary dedicated employee who earns money from selling rotten cabbages but works like a spaceship.

"Huff, huff, huff..." Shui Miaomiao stopped one meter in front of Luo Xuning, put her hand on her chest, and panted.

"What's wrong, Miaomiao? Are you in such a hurry to find me?" Luo Xuning secretly thought to himself that he should not look at me without permission, and moved his eyes upward as much as possible, taking the initiative to break the silence.

Shui Miaomiao panted a few times, and after catching her breath, she took out an envelope from her back pocket and handed it to Luo Xuning with a nervous look.

"Boss... Aunt Wang, the ticket inspector, quit, but she is embarrassed to tell you, so..."

It turned out that he was here to hand in a resignation report for someone else.

"Everyone has their own ambitions. If you want to leave, just leave. Then you can take over the ticket checking job first. I will recruit someone as soon as possible."

Luo Shuning smiled and took the envelope with a calm face.

After the ticket inspector Aunt Wang left, only Luo Shuning, the general manager, Shui Miaomiao, the assistant general manager, and Uncle Luo, the gatekeeper, were left in the scenic area.

"Boss who is not in a hurry to recruit people, I can handle it for a while. It won't be too late to recruit people when the business of the scenic area is better."

Shui Miaomiao not only had no objection to her boss's practice of adding burdens to herself, but also turned to comfort him.

To be honest, given the current operating conditions of the scenic area, there is really no need to recruit people. One less person means one less loss of salary.

If the scenic area has less burden, it may be able to hold on for one more day, and it may be able to wait for a turnaround.

"What else can the boss ask for if the employees are like this?" Luo Shuning was slightly moved by Shui Miaomiao's words. It is rare to have such an employee who puts himself in the shoes of the scenic area.

"I'll take care of this matter. If there's nothing else, go home after get off work." Luo Shuning raised his hand and glanced at the classic Daniel Wellington watch on his wrist, then waved his hand and told Shui Miaomiao to leave work.

It was already 5:48 pm, and it was time to get off work in 12 minutes. It didn't matter.

There were few tourists in the scenic area during the day, and no one would come at this time when it was almost time to get off work.

Shui Miaomiao stood still, her fingers entangled, looking at Luo Shuning with a tangled expression, as if she wanted to say something but stopped.

"Anything else?" Luo Shuning frowned and asked, he was a little confused.

Could the assistant take the opportunity to ask for a salary increase?

This was actually understandable. Shui Miaomiao was a college graduate after all, and she had been getting a salary of 1,800 for almost a year.

If it were me, I would have fired that black-hearted boss and quit.

Only a fool like Shui Miaomiao would not say a word and work so hard for so long.

After struggling for a while, Shui Miaomiao mustered up the courage to look at Luo Xuning and whispered, "That... Boss, I want to... take a day off. I made an appointment with an expert in the city online, and I will accompany my mother to the city hospital for medical treatment tomorrow."

"Oh... medical treatment, then go ahead, is one day enough? If not, two days, and you will be considered full attendance."

As long as it is not a salary increase, everything is fine. Hearing that the assistant just asked for leave to accompany his mother to see a doctor, Luo Xuning immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Anyway, there are not many tourists in the scenic area every day, and even no tourists for several days, so he can handle it completely.

"Enough, enough, enough, I will go to work on time the day after tomorrow. Thank you, boss!" Shui Miaomiao saw that Luo Xuning's face was normal, and the heart that was lifted was finally put back into her stomach.

Luo Xuning thought for a while and said, "Give me your phone."

"Ah? Oh... for your boss." Although full of doubts, Shui Miaomiao still obediently took out a pink Doov phone from her pocket and handed it to Luo Xuning.

After Luo Shuning took Shui Miaomiao's phone, he took out his own phone from his pocket, one in each hand, and unlocked both phones at the same time, operating them skillfully.

"Ding! WeChat received 1,800 yuan."

"Boss... it's not the day to pay wages yet." Shui Miaomiao looked at Luo Shuning in surprise after hearing the information of the account arrival.

The scenic spot pays wages at the end of each month, and it has always been on time.

The salary is not much to begin with, and it is a bit unreasonable if it is not on time again.

Today is just August 12th, and there is still more than half a month before the day of salary payment.

Luo Shuning reached out and handed Shui Miaomiao's phone back to her, and said in a calm tone: "This is this year's half-year bonus."

"Half-year bonus?" Shui Miaomiao looked at Luo Shuning in surprise, with a very unexpected expression, as if to say, our scenic spot is about to go bankrupt and close down, and there is still this thing?

Luo Shuning reached out and patted Shui Miaomiao on the shoulder, encouraging her: "Yes, you heard it right, it's a half-year bonus, you deserve it, work hard, perform well, and you will get a year-end bonus during the Chinese New Year."

"Oh, then, thank you, boss!" Shui Miaomiao nodded happily without any doubt.

Luo Shuning waved his hand and said: "If there is nothing else, go home, and say hello to Aunt Yu for me."

"Okay, goodbye, boss!" Shui Miaomiao smiled sweetly and greeted Luo Shuning, then turned and walked towards the locker room next to the ticket office.
