Chapter 19

Xiang Bie didn’t come back until 7:30 in the evening. After hearing Wei Li’s story about the wolves coming down the mountain, he frowned and asked, “Is anyone injured?”

Wei Li shook his head, “No, but the wolf problem should be solved. Will the masters be able to go into the mountain to work normally tomorrow?”

Xiang Bie thought for a moment, “Just in case, let’s check another area first.”

He asked again, “Do you want to try out the business?”

Wei Li nodded, pointed to a dormitory window upstairs, and whispered, “The director has been in the room all afternoon, saying that he wants to make a brand new customized tourism plan. In my opinion, we have nothing here, so how can we try out the business? If you want to try out the business, you have to fill up the supermarket first. I told the director, but he said there was no rush. I feel like she just doesn't want to buy in, but how can she try to operate without buying in? "

Xiang Bie didn't say it out loud, but in his heart he thought, I guess, it's not that she doesn't want to buy in, it's that she can't afford it...

Glancing upstairs, Xiang Bie said, "Let's talk about it after the meeting."

-

In the evening, after dinner, the masters of the protective net went upstairs to rest.

Mu Ling, Xiang Bie, and Wei Li didn't leave. After Mu Ling put down her chopsticks, she stood up, Standing directly in front of the dining table, she began to talk to the only two employees under her: "First of all, there is the issue of welcoming!"

Mu Ling said seriously: "We have a tour group of 100 people. We want to make everyone feel at home. We can't let people get off the starship and come by taxi. This seems so insincere on our part. Therefore, we have to prepare a car to greet them. I calculated that we need to arrange at least four buses to accommodate 100 people. As for car rental, I have already contacted Zhou from the Forestry Bureau. I have contacted my sister. I know Sister Zhou and I can get a discount. It costs 800 interstellar coins to rent a bus for a day, and 1,000 interstellar coins if you bring a driver. I want to bring a driver..."

Wei Li chewed the rice.

Xiang Bie took a sip of the drink.

The two of them just looked at Mu Ling, waiting for her to continue.

Mu Ling calculated for them: "The cost of the bus is 4,000 interstellar coins, but don't worry, we won't lose money. Director Wang said that we don't have to discount tickets during the trial operation. The original price of the ticket is 299, and the discounted price is 239. Without discount, each ticket can make an extra 60 interstellar coins in profit, and 100 people is 6,000 interstellar coins. So even if we deduct the 4,000 interstellar coins for renting the bus, we can still make an extra 2,000 interstellar coins..."

Mu Ling smiled lightly, and then suddenly took out a stack of PPTs from behind like a magic trick, and spread them out in front of the dining table: "But what about these 2,000 interstellar coins ? I don't plan to keep it. It's all extra anyway. I plan to use it as the cost of preparing exquisite small gifts for tourists and give it away. I have already drawn the style of the small gifts. You can take a look."

Mu Ling spread out the drawings: "It is to customize a small box with our zoo logo. Put a scented postcard in the box. On the front of the postcard is a photo of animals in our BIKE Zoo. I will go into the mountains to take this photo in the next two days. On the back is some blessings, and then match it with a small brooch. The brooch is made of this kind of simple cartoon animal pattern. This pattern I drew them too. We don’t have to buy copyrights for all the designs, which saves a lot of money!”

Brother Wei poked his head out to look at the design drawings. They were really beautiful. He gave a thumbs up and said, “The director is versatile and amazing!”

Mu Ling chuckled and said, “I also asked Brother Chen from the Forestry Bureau this afternoon. Brother Chen said he knows someone at the gift processing factory. The gift boxes for the botanical garden at the foot of the mountain are made by that factory. The quality is definitely excellent. He said that if we don’t ask for too much, he can let us jump the queue. We can get one hundred small gifts in half a day, and he will give us a price for acquaintances!”

Wei Li continued to flatter him, “ It has to be the director! Our zoo will definitely fall apart without the director! The director is our guiding light!"

Mu Ling felt that Wei Li was exaggerating a bit, and she felt a little embarrassed... Then she pointed the finger at Xiang Bie and Wei Li: "I have solved the problem of the reception and gifts, what about the lunch problem? The ticket includes lunch, Brother Wei? Brother Xiang?"

Wei Li immediately raised his hands in surrender: "Director, with my cooking skills, I can only cook the dishes."

Mu Ling nodded: "I have tasted the food cooked by you, Brother Wei, and it is indeed... not suitable for entertaining guests..."

Wei Li: "..."

Mu Ling looked at Xiang Bie.

Wei Li also looked at Xiang Bie.

Xiang Bie: “…”

Xiang Bie put down the design drawing in his hand and nodded lightly: "I'll do it."

"Yes!" Mu Ling shouted happily, then stretched out her hand to Wei Li. Wei Li clapped his hands with Mu Ling. The two of them looked like they were on good terms with each other. It was obvious that they had planned it long ago and were deliberately trying to trick Xiang Bie!

Xiang Bie: “…”

After solving the three issues of reception, gifts, and lunch, the only thing left was the subsequent visiting arrangements.

In the next few hours, Mu Ling talked a lot. The three-person meeting lasted until 10:30 pm. When the basic procedures were determined and the meeting was about to end, Wei Li asked again: "Then Director, we need to recruit temporary workers, otherwise how can we entertain 100 people with only three of us? And our supermarket is too empty, so we need to buy some goods, otherwise when tourists come, they will have to go down the mountain to buy a bottle of water..."

Mu Ling waved her hand and didn't care at all: "I have a plan for this. Don't worry, everything will be ready by then!"

And she won't spend a penny!

-

Thursday, 11 am.

Inside the T99s starship.

As the starship broadcast announcing the landing of the starship sounded, Yan Wen was also pushed awake by his colleague beside him: "Teacher Yan, we're here."

Yan Wen opened his eyes in a daze and saw that his colleagues in the seats in front and behind were preparing to leave the cabin.

Have we arrived at the God King Planet?

He also packed up his things and walked out with the others.

After getting off the ship, the team of 100 people stretched for a long distance because they walked a little sparsely. The

people in front were leading the way, and the people behind were following the people in front. As a result, as they walked, the people in front suddenly stopped.

"Hey, what's wrong? Why don't you go into the passage?" Another male colleague who was walking with Yan Wen asked in confusion.

Going out of the passage, the starship hall is outside. Professor Zhou, the person in charge of their team building this time, had already made a plan in advance. They came out of the passage, went out from the north gate of the starship hall, and then walked 300 meters, they could see the bus station. They first took the No. 87 land bus to Gujiang Road Station, and then transferred to the No. 11 floating bus to the Beak Avenue Botanical Garden. After arriving at the botanical garden, walk for another 20 minutes to reach the Beak Zoo.

As for their luggage, they chose to pay extra when checking it in, and let the Starship Center deliver it directly to their hotel.

"It seems like we are stuck?" A female colleague in front of the male colleague said while tiptoeing and looking around.

After a while, someone in front really came to pass on the message: "Teachers, the ground staff asked us to go through another channel, saying that the other channel is closer."

"Oh, then change it."

Isn't it just changing a channel? What's the big deal?

As a result, after a hundred people walked out of the other channel, they found that this was not the Starship lobby at all, but a parking lot.

"What's going on? How is this place close? We are not locals and we are not familiar with the parking lot here. Why do you let us go through the parking lot exit? We don't even know the way here!"

Professor Zhou, who was in charge of the team building, was also a little confused. He was holding up a laptop and was about to open the map navigation to see how the exits were distributed. At this moment, a middle-aged man in a driver's uniform came over with a sign in his hand and asked, "Excuse me, is this the Capital Star's 'Logistics and Technology Department' 100-person tour group?" "

Professor Zhou looked at the sign the man was holding, which actually had his name on it. He asked suspiciously, "We are, who are you?"

The middle-aged driver smiled and said, "We are here to pick you up. The car is here. There are four buses ready. Should there be enough seats?"

Professor Zhou looked ahead in surprise, and saw that there were indeed four buses parked not far ahead. In front of the glass windows of those buses, there was a sign that read "Bic Zoo Tour Group Reception Bus".

A technician was extremely surprised: "Are you drivers from Bic Zoo? Are you here to pick us up?"

The middle-aged driver said, "Director Mu asked us to pick you up. Didn't she communicate with you?"

Everyone immediately looked at Professor Zhou.

Professor Zhou: "..."

Professor Zhou was a little confused: "She, she said she would send someone to pick us up. I thought she would just send someone to show us the way..."

How could he know that the Piccolo Zoo would actually send a car to pick them up directly, and it was four buses. Their tickets didn't include this!

Professor Zhou hurriedly said: "I, I'll call her."

...

The team of one hundred people was really large. Several colleagues around Yan Wen were still complaining that the parking lot was a mess and they were going to get dizzy. As a result, at this time, the assistant of a famous professor came over and said to them: "Teachers, teachers, the four buses in front are our cars. Everyone can sit freely. Get on the bus first."

"Wow, we don't have to take the bus, there is a special bus?"

"Professor Zhou rented a car for us, hahaha, long live Professor Zhou!"

This professor assistant heard Professor Zhou's conversation with Director Mu just now, he said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, it was not Professor Zhou who rented the car, but the car arranged by Bic Zoo for us. They said that considering the inconvenience of our 100 people moving around, and they were afraid that what would happen if one or half of us got lost, so they sent us four free special cars."

"Oh my God, it's free!"

"Ahhh my wife loves me so much!"

Professor assistant: "..."

Others: "..."

Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to a female researcher in the crowd.

After blurting out this sentence, the female researcher realized that something was wrong, she quickly covered her mouth, but it was too late, she was already socially dead!

Female researcher: "..."

The female researcher blushed with shame, and wanted to find a hole to crawl into immediately. She quickly said: "I, I was joking..."

Everyone: "..."

Otherwise, you are scary if you are not joking! Anyway

, no matter what, the 100 people got on the bus very quickly.

The special car is fast, and the bus is amphibious. It can enter the land lane and drive on flat ground, and it can also enter the suspension car lane and fly. In less than half an hour, they arrived at the botanical garden at the foot of the Bic Avenue.

After driving up the mountain for about fifteen minutes, they saw the gate of the Bic Zoo!

The gate of the zoo is quite wide. The ticket inspection area in the middle and the ticket sales area on the right are not open, but the driveway on the left is open. People in the car can see from a distance that many employees in zoo uniforms are busy in front of the open space at the entrance of the zoo.

Hey, the zoo hasn't officially opened yet, but there are already so many employees? Counting them, there are more than a dozen.

The bus drove into the parking garage in the zoo. When tourists got off the bus one after another, they saw a young and energetic beautiful girl walking towards them with a smile.

"Welcome, welcome, welcome everyone to our Bic Zoo. You must have worked hard all the way here. Here are some snacks and drinks. Come and take a rest."

This voice! It's Director Mu!

All the tourists who recognized Mu Ling's voice couldn't help but look at her in surprise. Mu Ling's face was never shown in the video. Although everyone knew she was young, they thought she was at least 30 years old. However, she looked in her early 20s at most. Not only was she young, but she was also really beautiful! Someone

looked at the rest area that Mu Ling mentioned. After seeing this, they immediately felt that Director Mu was really thoughtful. She actually arranged so many outdoor tables and chairs in the open space of the service area, as well as parasols, and put a lot of snacks on the table. The staff were also warmly placing drinks for them.

Professor Zhou, the person in charge, was also very moved when he saw this scene. He hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with Mu Ling: "You are Dean Mu, right? I am the old Zhou who is in contact with you."

Mu Ling hurriedly said: "Hello, Teacher Zhou, hello, Teacher Zhou."

After the two sides exchanged greetings, some people had already gone to the outdoor tables and chairs to get drinks, while others turned on the camera and started filming everywhere.

As the hundred people dispersed, they soon filled the service area, which had always been deserted, and it was extremely lively.

Professor Zhou was still thanking Mu Ling for sending a special car to pick them up. Mu Ling smiled and said that it was all as she should do, and then told her about the process of today's visit:

"We will go into the mountain in the afternoon. It's already twelve o'clock now. Let's have lunch in the park first. Then there will be a small event around one o'clock in the afternoon. At half past one, our staff will drive the shuttle to take everyone up the mountain. However, we can only visit the area near the stream outside. This was told to everyone in advance. However, there are also many animals to see outside, such as Bactrian deer, golden rabbits, long-tailed foxes, startled monkeys, red-black foxes, and in the bird forest area on the other side, there are also eight-colored peacocks, firebirds, red-colored chickens, thousand-year-old cranes, etc...."

Mu Ling was still communicating with Professor Zhou about the process, and on the other side, the tourists had already pulled more than a dozen staff members and chattered endlessly.

"Is that the hillside where Gus was standing? Can I go over and take a picture?"

Staff: "Of course."

"Qing Jia was lurking here at the time, and then suddenly rushed out to ambush the zoo director. Did Qing Jia go down the hill later?"

Staff: "We are not sure about that..."

Some people also walked to the map column at the entrance of the zoo to look at the distribution map of the entire park.

"Wow, this zoo is so big, and there are so many animals."

"The mountain road looks very steep, I wonder how many animals we can see today."

"Hey, that guy, come here."

A staff member was stopped by a tourist. He walked over and said politely, "Hello."

The tourist asked, "Is this whole area the activity area of ​​​​the Wind Chasing Wolves? Will we pass here when we go up the mountain?"

The staff member looked at the map and smiled, "Yes, you can see the main mountain road of this color, which is the route of the shuttle bus. We will get there."

Another tourist next to the tourist became happy: "Maybe we can see Guts! I really want to know Guts's specific genetic data!"

Staff: "?"

"Wow, look here, this zoo actually has S-level Fire Leopards, can we see Fire Leopards too?"

"Silver Snow Bear, there is actually an S-level Silver Snow Bear? Is it also a retired War Beast? Is that 'Sniper'? Or 'Moonlight'? "

As more and more tourists gathered in front of the map column and their questions became more and more tricky, the young staff member was a little at a loss for answers, so he hurriedly pulled another staff member over to help!

The staff member had a good memory and said, "The S-level silver snow bear in our park is Moonlight, a retired war beast."

The tourist asked, "Does Moonlight still weigh 300 kilograms now?"

The staff member: "?"

"Can you tell me the size of your Swift Fire Leopard's front paws?"

"Is the molting cycle of your Guixin Python 35 days or 45 days?"

"How long is the body of your flower cloud crocodile? How many eggs does a female flower cloud crocodile lay in one litter?"

Two staff members: "…………"

The two staff members were suddenly surrounded by the academic bullies. They were terrified and could only call for more external help, but they couldn't hold on. They just had two days of training. How could they know so much? And they were not real zoo employees. They were just volunteers, volunteers!

Yes, volunteers.

They were all volunteers!

How could Mu Ling, a poor zoo owner, hire a dozen employees just to receive a temporary tour group? How could she have so much money?

So these employees were hired for free!

Didn't Mu Ling say before that she would solve all the problems of personnel and goods, but she wouldn't spend a penny?

This is her plan - to get the wool!

So the question is, where can the wool come from? Isn't there ready-made wool in the botanical garden at the foot of the mountain!

Mu Ling asked Director Wang to act as a middleman, and she directly contacted the person in charge of the botanical garden.

Mu Ling's supermarket was out of goods, so she set her sights on the three official stores under the Botanical Garden. Because the Botanical Garden's business was bad, these three stores were actually losing money. One of them was a supermarket, one sold tea, and one sold potted plants. Due to insufficient customer sources, these three stores were only open once or twice a week.

Among these three stores, two were souvenir shops and one was a merchandise store. Mu Ling actually only wanted the supermarket, but the Botanical Garden probably wouldn't be happy without the two souvenir shops, so Mu Ling took the two souvenir shops with her.

This is what she meant - leaders of the botanical garden, let's have a joint cooperation. Our zoo is about to have a tour group of 100 people. Your scenic spot store in the botanical garden has no business anyway. Why don't you bring your products and your people to the supermarket in our park to sell things.

We don't charge you rent. We lend you our supermarket shelves for free. Our tourists are your tourists. If your products are sold, we won't charge you a single cent of kickback. Our zoo and your botanical garden are a loving family, and there is no difference between us! The

person in charge of the botanical garden knew that the Bic Zoo was very popular on Star Network recently. When he heard Mu Ling say this, he thought that Mu Ling was going to make them rich. He almost called Mu Ling a living Bodhisattva.

As a result, Mu Ling changed the subject and said, "But, our staff here is relatively scarce. Since your staff are here, why don't you help us entertain tourists?"

The person in charge of the botanical garden: "..."

So that's how it was. The fifteen employees of the botanical garden became Mu Ling's fifteen volunteers. Hundreds of goods from the three stores in the botanical garden helped Mu Ling fill her empty shelves, making her place finally not so desolate.

Mu Ling actually felt that it didn't matter who took advantage of whom. This was a win-win situation. The botanical garden had a new source of customers, Mu Ling had manpower, and tourists gained convenience. Isn't this killing three birds with one stone?

Professor Zhou certainly didn't know about Mu Ling's little tricks to save money. The old professor was only concerned about one thing now.

"Director Mu, I think your tour plan is very good, everything is perfect, but it seems that there is no Qilin written on it? Well, can we also visit Qilin today?"

Qilin is the signature of Bic Zoo. Mu Ling knew that these tourists must be greedy for Qilin, so she asked Director Wang to come to their zoo for team building. Mu Ling smiled brightly: "Of course you can visit Qilin. Didn't I say that after dinner, at one o'clock, we will have a special little activity, and you can see Qilin then."

Professor Zhou was instantly excited: "Really!"

When the other professors and teachers around heard this, they quickly gathered around and asked excitedly: "What activity? What activity? Can we really visit Qilin?"

"The Qilin won't bite us, right? Director Mu, tell me what activities are you going to have?"

Mu Ling waved her hands, "Hahaha, everyone will know after dinner. By then, I guarantee that everyone will see the most mysterious and unknown side of the Qilin. If you are willing, you can participate in it in person. This is a special benefit for the first batch of tourists~"
