Chapter 882 CuteCute, daddy will buy you an exclusive boat (8600
)Happy Lantern Festival
In a short time, the number of visitors reached more than 14,800.
When Cheng Xiaolin saw this data, she calculated silently in her mind for a while, and then said: "Husband, why do I feel that the number of people coming to the park today is higher than yesterday's number? Maybe it can exceed 50,000?"
"I think it's about the same." Cao Shujie also nodded.
Thinking about what his wife said yesterday, there were a lot of people on the pirate ship, and his wife specifically asked him to buy another pirate ship. He came over today and had to go take a look.
There were too many people, so Cao Shujie held his second child and asked his wife to hold Mengmeng's hand and walk forward together.
I saw many children lining up to climb the conch slide and elephant trunk slide on the east side.
The corridor and ripple benches next to the two slides were also filled with parents watching their children.
Finally, there is something that can attract children to play, and parents like them can also take some time to rest.
There were also parents who were busy posing for photos in front of beautiful flower trees or fruit trees, with relaxed smiles on their faces. From a distance, Cao Shujie could feel that they were very happy in their hearts.
"Dad, I'm going to go boating." Mengmeng grabbed her mother's hand and turned to her father.
Before Cao Shujie spoke, Mengmeng couldn't hold her mother with one hand, so she simply grabbed her mother's hand with both hands and dragged her backwards towards the artificial lake in the center of the park.
Cheng Xiaolin looked at her daughter, then looked back at her husband helplessly: "She won't give up if I don't let her go over and have a look."
Cao Shujie thought it would be okay to follow him and have a look.
Carrying his son and following his wife and daughter, Cao Shujie came to the artificial lake in the center of the park. Cao Shujie saw that there were at least sixty or seventy people lining up next to the guardrail.
There were also many children dragging their parents to the back of the queue, rushing to get in line.
"It's really a lot," Cao Shujie said.
Cheng Xiaolin said to him: "Didn't I tell you yesterday that there were a lot of people rowing."
She said: "Not only here, but also in front of the other paid projects, there are quite a lot of people."
Children's theme parks are basically focused on children.
Most parents and the elderly come with their children to play. Charged items such as boating, pirate ships, carousels, sightseeing trains, etc. are also open to children.
However, in some projects, parents must accompany their children when they play, which results in a certain project being particularly popular.
For example, for activities such as rowing, where parents must accompany their children, there are particularly many people queuing up.
In comparison, the three carousels are just for children, and there are much fewer people queuing.
"Mengmeng, let's go somewhere else to play. When the park closes in the afternoon, dad will take you here to play, okay?" Cao Shujie promised his daughter.
When Mengmeng heard this, she looked at the people queuing up, and she didn't want to go in line.
"Well, dad, you said it yourself, you must come when the time comes." Mengmeng wanted to hook up with her dad.
She really wants to play.
Cao Shujie nodded heavily and said to his daughter: "Don't worry, dad will definitely come with you to play tonight, absolutely."
"And dad also promised you that he will buy you a very beautiful boat. Only you can sit on it and no one else can sit on it. In the future, even if there are more people, you can still row the boat after you come here, okay?"
When she heard that her father wanted to buy her a boat alone, Mengmeng narrowed her eyes with joy and nodded vigorously: "Dad, please hurry up, sister Xinyi will be here next week."
"Oh, you didn't mention it and I forgot about it." Cao Shujie slapped his forehead with his backhand and said, "Dad, I promise, I will buy it for you in the next few days."
Cheng Xiaolin couldn't help but laugh when she saw her husband promising two things at once and playing with Mengmeng.
She also asked her husband when he would consider buying another batch of boats.
"The last time I came here I saw that there were not enough ships, so I made a plan to buy 100 ships. It should be delivered within the next two days." Cao Shujie said this.
He said: "I'll call and ask later. If it hasn't been delivered yet, I'll buy another one for Mengmeng." Cao Shujie said.
On the first day of the park's opening, Cao Shujie came over for inspection and saw many people queuing up to row at the artificial lake. The person in charge here, Cao Guijuan, also told him that there were so many people queuing up for rowing every day.
Cao Shujie finally called the merchant selling sightseeing boats and ordered 100 more boats, including 60 electric-driven boats and 40 pedal boats.
Mengmeng heard her father say that he had bought 100 boats. She was very curious and quickly asked her father what boats he had bought.
Cao Shujie told her that there was a little yellow duck, a Donald Duck, a white swan, and a little white rabbit.
"Dad, do you have Princess Elsa?" Mengmeng asked.
She likes Princess Elsa's dolls and naturally thinks that this kind of cruise ship also has Princess Elsa's dolls.
But Cao Shujie shook his head: "It's not among the 100, but it doesn't matter. Dad will call and ask in a moment. Even if they don't have it, I will order one for you. How about it?"
"Is this kind of boat expensive?" Cheng Xiaolin was quite curious about the price.
Cao Shujie shook his head: "This thing is not expensive. A pedal boat costs 3,770 yuan, and a larger one costs 5,100 yuan. They are all self-draining."
"There are also electric-driven ones, which are 1,000 yuan more expensive."
"This time I bought a small boat, not a big one."
"Why is it so cheap?"
Cheng Xiaolin found it incredible after hearing this. She thought this kind of boat was quite expensive, but she didn't know that the price was very different from what she imagined.
After all, many parks in the city charge an average of more than 80 yuan for half an hour. When they were in the capital before, the fee for half an hour was more than 100 yuan. She didn't think much about it at that time, only thinking that this kind of boat itself was very expensive.
Unexpectedly, Cao Shujie told her: "Honey, don't believe it, I still look for good quality ones. The price is high, but there are actually ones with lower quality, and the price can be 1,000 yuan cheaper."
"You can buy it for just over 2,000 yuan, but we have to think about it for tourists. Safety comes first," he said.
"And other people's prices are expensive, and a large part of the cost is venue rental fees, but we don't have that."
Cao Shujie stamped his feet: "Honey, this place belongs to us, what do you think?"
After hearing this, Cheng Xiaolin suddenly realized that this is the same as renting a house to open a store. No matter what is sold, a large part of the price includes the rent.
But from a certain perspective, what they are doing is equivalent to a business without capital.
"So, we are making a profit?" Cheng Xiaolin said.
Cao Shujie rolled his eyes at her: "What are you thinking about?"
"We built this park with our own money. It has cost almost 30 million now, and we will spend another 10 to 20 million later."
"There are also maintenance in the park and employee salaries. Which of these things should we not spend money on?"
Seeing her husband calculating the accounts one by one on his fingers, Cheng Xiaolin wanted to kick him.
Before I put my idea into action, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Boss."
But it was Cao Guijuan, the person in charge of the cruise ship. She just saw Cao Shujie's family standing here in the cabin and found that they had not left, so she hurried over to say hello.
"Sister-in-law." Cao Guijuan shouted to Cheng Xiaolin again.
"Guijuan, how are you? Are you used to being here?" Cheng Xiaolin asked with a smile.
Cao Guijuan nodded: "I'm used to it. It's good to see so many children coming to play every day."
"Boss, I just called Boss Chen and said that if nothing happens, the ship will be delivered by tomorrow night at the latest." Cao Guijuan said.
Cao Shujie nodded: "It's pretty much what I thought. Just find a few more people after the goods arrive and unload them directly."
"Yeah." Cao Guijuan responded, these are all trivial matters, and Cao Shujie doesn't need to worry about them.
When Mengmeng heard that the boat her father bought was coming soon, wouldn't it mean that the boat her father promised to buy her would be gone?
She was very unhappy and quickly reminded her father.
Cao Shujie laughed and told her not to worry.
"Mengmeng, I'll call him right now." Cao Shujie said.
In front of Mengmeng, he took out his mobile phone and called Chen Chao, the owner of Yangcheng Hailanghua Boat. After a while, the other party answered the phone.
"Boss Cao, hello." Chen Chao was particularly enthusiastic towards Cao Shujie.
It's okay if you don't have enthusiasm, this is the big boss.
I bought 100 boats from him two years ago, and this is not over yet. I bought more than 100 boats from him a few days ago.
Chen Chao was thinking about how big Cao Shujie's place was. He estimated that it would have more than ten acres of land. Otherwise, how could there be space for so many boats?
"Hello, Boss Chen." Cao Shujie also greeted warmly.
The two chatted for a while, and Chen Chao told Cao Shujie that the 100 expedited ships had been shipped and would be delivered to Caojiazhuang tomorrow at the latest.
"Okay, Boss Chen, I want to order two ships from you this time. Is that okay?" Cao Shujie asked him.
Chen Chao told Cao Shujie that he had to do it, and he also assured Cao Shujie that he could make whatever Cao Shujie wanted.
"It's not complicated, just get two Princess Elsa ones, one for 6 people and one for 10 people. My daughter must have it, otherwise I won't be able to trouble you." Cao Shujie said.
When Chen Chao heard what Cao Shujie said, he understood instantly and promised Cao Shujie that it would be delivered within three days.
Cao Shujie also told him that he would transfer the money to him later.
Mr. Chen also shouted that he would give it to his niece, but Cao Shujie did not agree.
Everyone is in business and knows how much money they can earn. There is no need to rely on personal relationships for this small amount of money.
After hanging up the phone, Cao Shujie said to his daughter: "Mengmeng, dad has made an order for you. When your sister Xinyi comes over next Saturday, it will definitely be there."
"No matter how many people line up, you will have two Princess Elsa boats." Cao Shujie stretched out two fingers to tease his daughter.
Mengmeng directly hugged Cao Shujie and kissed him, and kept saying that she liked her father.
As a result, Mengmeng no longer wanted to stay here. She held her mother's hand with one hand and her father's hand with the other and walked to other places.
Cao Shujie also went to see the pirate ship. As his wife said, there were many people queuing there.
There were not only children, but also many young people lining up, and many middle-aged people in their forties.
When Cao Shujie came to the park on the opening day, he found that there were not many people queuing up here. He thought there wouldn't be many people playing here, but he didn't know that the reality was different from what he thought.
It seems that I came at the wrong time that day.
The park really needs another pirate ship, just a little further away from this one, and it's not expensive. The 32-seat one he bought only costs 160,000, and it comes with installation included.
Calculated based on 20 yuan at a time, with the current number of people, the cost can be recovered in 4 months if it is fast, and only half a year if it is slow.
Without further delay, Cao Shujie immediately called the owner Wang Jinxu who sold the pirate ship and told him that he wanted another 32-seater pirate ship.
Unexpectedly, Wang Jinxiu gave him a discount of 2,000 yuan, which meant making friends and establishing a long-term business.
Cao Shujie and his wife went around the remaining projects. After reading them all, Cao Shujie did not buy any more merry-go-rounds and sightseeing trains. Instead, he paid attention to the small roller coaster that his wife mentioned. He thought about it
I'll ask someone to check it out later and add it if appropriate.
There isn't much else in the park, it's just a big enough place.
"Dad, when will it open there?" Mengmeng asked, pointing to the rafting project on the other side of the artificial lake.
"Next week, it's not finished yet." Cao Shujie said.
When Mengmeng heard that next week was coming, she seemed very happy, so that she could take sister Xinyi to play on the big water slide.
But she never thought that it would be too dangerous for Lei Xinyi, who was only three years old, to play that project.
Along the way, some people also recognized Cao Shujie and Mengmeng and rushed over to take pictures with them.
Cheng Xiaolin had been standing by with her son in her arms at this time, watching the father and daughter chatting, interacting and taking photos with fans.
She was still thinking in her mind: "I have made you and my daughter into stars, but does anyone know about me?"
Just as she was thinking about it, she didn't expect that someone actually recognized her.
"Sister, you are the 'Mengmeng Orchard', right? You are the 'Mengmeng Orchard' who produces original videos on Youku." A girl who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old and wore a purple coat asked.
Cheng Xiaolin was surprised. She was thinking about this just now, but she didn't expect that someone would actually recognize her.
"Who are you?" Cheng Xiaolin was a little confused.
Then I heard the other party say: "Sister, I am your fan. When I used to watch videos on Youku, I especially liked the videos you shot. They are real and interesting."
"I wanted to come to your place at that time, but I was still in elementary school at that time, and my parents didn't have time to come with me. They said I was too young, so they didn't feel comfortable letting me come."
Cheng Xiaolin never expected that she would have such a small fan, and the other person would recognize her at a glance. She was such a big fan.
"What's your name? Are you here by yourself today?" Cheng Xiaolin was particularly enthusiastic about this 'iron fan'.
Then I listened to the other party introduce herself: "Sister, my name is Situ Huayan. I came here with my classmates. I saw on the news that there is a roller coaster here. We all wanted to come and play. Unfortunately, we found out after we arrived that it has not been installed yet."
"You can't believe the reporters from these newspapers. They are talking nonsense." She muttered.
Then he pointed to the pirate ship and said, "My classmates are all playing pirate ships over there. I was a little dizzy, so I just walked around by myself."
She still had a compound surname. Cheng Xiaolin asked her where her family was and learned that she had made a special trip from Quancheng.
"The college entrance examination will be in a few months. I have been bored in school all the time. So I went out on Saturday to relax. I will go back to school next week to continue preparing for the exam and try to get into a good university." Situ Huayan laughed.
said.
From her relaxed tone, it was impossible to tell how worried she was about the college entrance examination.
This can only mean that she is either very capable, or she knows that she is not good enough and has given up on herself.
But Cheng Xiaolin thinks she is most likely the former.
"Yeah, then I'll wait for the good news that you'll be admitted to college." Cheng Xiaolin encouraged her.
Situ Huayan nodded fiercely: "Don't worry, sister, I'm sure there will be no problem."
"Sister, I won't come out this time. After the college entrance examination next time, I will come to your place to play again."
"Okay, if you have time to come here next year, the roller coaster will be installed." Cheng Xiaolin told her.
"Really?" Situ Huayan looked particularly happy after hearing this.
She said: "When I came here and asked if there were any roller coasters, I thought it was a lie."
"How could you lie? My husband just started building this park at the end of last year. My husband also ordered a roller coaster. However, the roller coaster needs to be redesigned according to the terrain and made fresh, which is more troublesome." Cheng Xiaolin explained to her.
Only then did Situ Huayan understand what was going on.
But then she was even more surprised: "Sister, what do you mean, this park belongs to your family?"
"Well, my husband invested in it." Cheng Xiaolin pointed at Cao Shujie who was playing with her daughter and said.
Situ Huayan really didn't expect the truth to be like this.
She looked at Cao Shujie and his daughter, who were playing with Mengmeng or taking photos with other people, and then at Cheng Xiaolin in front of her, she felt a little unreal.
