Chapter 199
He originally wanted to create a popular tourist attraction, but after decades of operation and using various methods, it has always been lukewarm.
Although the island itself was very valuable, he had no hope of making a profit and selling it was almost impossible.
Even if this island is sold for 15 billion, it will still be a loss.
What's more, people who understand it won't buy it because it can create too little value.
The Lu family hasn’t been able to run the business well, so who would dare to take over?
Therefore, Mr. Lu has always kept Forest Island in his hands. As long as he doesn't continue to lose money, he can tolerate it.
Later he met Jin Chaochao and gave him a painting.
This painting made him see the essence of Taoism and vitality.
He wondered if there would be a glimmer of hope if he gave her the Forest Island.
"The environment of this island is very good, and your development decision is correct. The reason why it has not been developed is that there are too few animals in this forest park, and there is no focus to attract a large number of tourists. The supporting facilities are also not perfect. Once the scenic spot becomes popular, the subsequent services will also fail."
Jin Chaochao revealed the reason in one sentence.
Mr. Lu continued, "Ferocious animals are dangerous. We introduced tigers before, but some tourists deliberately broke into the tiger's territory to take pictures, and almost killed someone. Later, all large ferocious animals were sent to the zoo."
And raising animals is also a considerable expense.
In addition, with the large number of wild animals, management is also very difficult.
Jin Chaochao smiled slightly, "What you said is indeed a problem, but don't worry, I will make a detailed plan and build the Forest Island in a year."
Judging from Jin Chaochao's tone, she seems very confident.
Mr. Lu laughed out loud with anticipation on his face, "I really didn't make a mistake! Chaochao, since this forest island is given to you, it's yours. If you manage it well, it will be considered as the fulfillment of one of my wishes."
"I'm very happy that Grandpa Lu has your trust. This island is very valuable, and I can't accept your gift for nothing. After the Forest Island is renovated, I will donate all the profits from the first three years to charity in the name of Qingze."
If she gave Mr. Lu cash, he would definitely not take it.
Lu Qingze is the youngest in the Lu family, and Mr. Lu has high hopes for him.
Donating to charity in his name is also doing him a huge favor.
Hearing this, Mr. Lu was so moved that he burst into tears. "Chao Chao, you are so kind. Qingze is lucky to have an elder like you."
Jin Chaochao chuckled, "Grandpa Lu, you are too kind. Qingze is lucky to have a grandfather like you."

Hang up the phone.
Mr. Lu sat on the sofa, tears streaming down his face.
When Lu Yan saw his father's expression when he entered the room, he asked curiously, "Dad, who made you cry?"
Mr. Lu glared at him and said unhappily, "What do you know? I'm just happy!"
"What good news? Tell me quickly." Lu Yan put his ear close to it. He hadn't seen his father so emotional, out of control, and full of curiosity for many years.
Old Man Lu looked at his son's expression of a spectator, snorted coldly and stood up. He knew in his heart that he couldn't tell anyone before the matter was accomplished.
Everyone understands that things are accomplished through secrecy and fail through disclosure.
But he saw that his son was looking forward to his answer sincerely.
He patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "Smoke is coming out of our Lu family's ancestral tomb!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yan screamed, turned around and hurried out.
Old Man Lu was puzzled. "Didn't you just come back? Why are you going out again?"
Lu Yan walked in a hurry, "Dad, didn't you say that there was smoke coming out of our ancestors' grave? I have to go take a look..."
Listening to the sound of my son's footsteps getting farther and farther away.
Old Man Lu: “…”

Jin Chaochao came to Bai Yexi's yard.
He was holding two roast chickens, a pot of sake, a basket of fruit, and a variety of cakes.
She ordered the kitchen to do it all day.
Ever since Bai Yexi came here and lived in the detached house, he has felt completely free.
I slept until noon, then when I got bored I went for a walk in the garden and found a deserted place to continue sleeping.
When you are in a good mood, go for a walk outside.
When I’m in a bad mood, I go to the cellar, get two bottles of red wine, and get drunk.
He is really lazy.
When Jin Chaochao came, Bai Yexi was wearing a loose white shirt and sleeping soundly in a rocking chair under the osmanthus tree.
Next to him were half-eaten peanuts and two empty bottles of red wine.
Jin Chaochao's mouth twitched. This combination of Chinese and Western elements is quite interesting.
"Old fox, did you sleep well?" She sat down next to him.
The young man's pretty eyelids opened slightly, glanced at Jin Chaochao, and then closed again.
"What do you want from me?"
Bai Yexi really wanted to use a spell to send Jin Chaochao thousands of miles away.
There is no such thing as a visit without a request. There is definitely no good thing for her to visit him.
Jin Chaochao smiled more like an old fox, "Of course I came to see you. I haven't seen you for several days. I missed you so much."
As she spoke, she took out everything in the basket.
The freshly roasted chicken smells so good that it makes people drool.
Bai Yexi's Adam's apple slid slightly, his eyes didn't open, but his eyelids kept pulling, "Jin Chaochao, your little thoughts are all written on your face. If you have something to say, tell me now. If not, I need to sleep."
"I ordered someone to make this roast chicken. The chickens are all free-range, roasted slowly over low heat and coated with honey sauce. I can eat two in one go."
Jin Chaochao tore off a chicken leg with great force and stuffed it into her mouth in front of the old fox.
I don’t know what kind of sauce was used in the roast chicken, but the aroma was so delicious that it made my mouth water.
How could the old fox bear it?
Before Jin Chaochao put the chicken leg into her mouth, he snatched it away and took away everything else.
While chewing on the roast chicken, he asked incoherently: "What... is it?"
Jin Chaochao clapped her hands and said with a smile: "It's nothing, just asking your animal friends if anyone wants to be compiled."
The old fox paused while chewing the roast chicken. "Institutional?"
"Yes! I have a place that is specially designed as a habitat for various small animals. Not only does it have a beautiful environment, it also has professional breeding and feeding facilities. The most important thing is that you can 'order dishes'." Jin Chaochao blinked her big eyes.
Bai Yexi put down the roast chicken and thought this was a good thing!
He looked at Jin Chaochao, "Don't lie."
Jin Chaochao coughed, "How did I lie? Bah... I, Jin Chaochao, would never lie to small animals. Anyway, as long as you follow me, you will have delicious food, spicy drinks, and a place to live in the future."
Bai Yexi was half-believing and half-doubting.
Jin Chaochao stared at the roast chicken in his hand and asked, "You said you followed me, have I ever treated you unfairly?"
Bai Yexi shook his head.
If he were honest, Jin Chaochao was indeed very nice to him and would share any delicious food with him.
"That's it!" Jin Chaochao took out a piece of paper and handed it to Bai Yexi, "Look, find it according to my standards. If you help me find one, I'll give you two secret roast chickens."
Bai Yexi looked down at the list on the paper and rolled his eyes.
As expected, this damn girl Jin Chaochao couldn't do anything good for him.
