Chapter 812 [Throwing stones to ask for directions]
On the afternoon of the next day, Fang Hong updated a dynamic message on his personal Weibo account that surprised the outside world.
[Recently, there is an immature idea. We plan to build a zoo in more than 1,600 counties and more than 600 cities across the country that matches the size of the local area. The themes will be unique, and popular and unpopular species from all over the world will be built.
All included.
Our original intention in doing this is to cultivate children's interest in nature and science from an early age, to keep children curious about science and nature, and to enrich the entertainment activities of the general public.
Therefore, if we want to do this, it will still be for public welfare and not for profit. In the future, these zoos will be officially opened, and parents can waive the admission fee as long as they take their children to those zoos.
This matter is still under study. What do you think? Initiate a poll to see what everyone thinks about this matter.]
…
Fang Hong's dynamic blog became a hot topic as soon as it was published. Star Capital has been in the spotlight recently at this juncture. Many people are squatting on God K's Weibo to see what he is up to.
There is movement now, but I posted a message like this, as if the things that happened recently did not exist at all.
This has triggered various speculations. Some speculated that Fang Hong was avoiding the public. Some speculated that Qunxing Capital was in control of the matter. The founder was obviously very calm about this move.
However, the content of Fang Hong's blog post itself was quite sensational, and he actually wanted to open more than 2,000 zoos with different themes across the country.
The number of comments under the post also quickly exceeded 10,000.
[Call me this guy, that covers every county directly, that’s really rich.]
[This handwriting is like a star.]
[God K, the United States has already announced that it will engage in shady transactions, but you still have the thought to open a zoo...]
[Covering every county in the country. How much does it cost?]
[It should be better than 30 to 50 billion, right?]
[more than!]
[The budget mainly depends on the specifications and quality. A few million is enough for a small zoo, but a few hundred million or even more for a large zoo.]
[Since God K dares to say this, he must have the strength. I am not worried about money.]
[makes sense.]
[Can you bring your children with you for free? Doesn’t this zoo make money? Can you maintain it if you don’t make any money?]
[K3478’s reply//: Adults without children have to buy tickets. The zoo must have other fee-based items, such as personal feeding of some special species. Visitors who want to experience it in person can pay and visit the park staff.
You can experience feeding under the guidance of an escort, or after paying a fee, you can enter the venue and have close contact with the animals under the guidance of the park staff.]
[K3478’s reply//: But we are not opening these zoos to make money, but for the next generation of our country. The next generation loves nature, loves science, and is curious about natural science. The next generation is ours.
The future represents our country’s passion for natural science and its curiosity. Curiosity is an important factor in promoting the progress of individuals, countries and even the entire human race. This cannot be measured with money, so children are included for free as long as they come.
parents.]
[K3478’s reply//: As for these charging items, they are the icing on the cake at best. The park will definitely not be able to maintain a balance of payments by relying on these incomes, unless it charges very high fees, and children are not exempt from admission fees, but this deviates from what we do
The original intention of this matter, and we want to open a zoo, its specifications and standards are benchmarked against international first-class or even super-class, and its cost is definitely multiple times that of domestic zoos of the same level, but for the sake of the next generation we are willing to lose money to do this business.]
[God K is bubbling in the comment area!]
[Look at the giant man up close! This is the pattern of the giant man!]
[The appearance of God K made me realize that there is a gap even between giants.]
…
At this moment, the voting initiated by Fang Hong on Weibo is in progress. Hundreds of thousands of people have already participated in the voting, and those who are in favor are far ahead with an overwhelming advantage of 85%.
First of all, parents with children strongly agree. Anyone with a normal mind knows that this is beneficial to the growth of children. Especially in the eyes of many parents, it is a hundred times better for children to become interested in natural sciences than in online games.
Thousand times.
The local governments also strongly agree. Some people spend their own money to enrich local public infrastructure. Why not? It can also bring jobs. There are more than 2,000 zoos, with park staff ranging from dozens to hundreds.
, overall it can bring no less than 150,000 jobs, and the country will definitely support it.
Relevant academic circles are also very happy and agree very much. Some large zoos actually cooperate with relevant academic research institutions. Star Capital plans to open more than 2,000 zoos, which is definitely a good thing for the zoological community.
But not everyone likes and agrees with it. There is a group of people who are unwilling from the bottom of their hearts. That is the existing zoo operating organizations. They are also a vested interest group. This matter will have a negative impact on their interests.
Direct impact.
As the saying goes, peers are enemies. After seeing this news, I learned that Fang Hong wanted to build more than 2,000 zoos across the country. This will directly more than double the number of domestic zoos, but the number of tourists will not suddenly more than double.
.
This is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is that Fang Hong broke the news during his interaction with netizens that the zoos he built are to be built according to international first-class standards or even super-first-class standards. What is the maintenance status of many domestic zoos? People in the industry
It's very clear.
Most of them say they are doing a zoo, but in fact they are all going to the land under the zoo. You can imagine how perfunctory they are.
If Fang Hong enters the market and builds it according to the specifications he said, then other zoos will basically have no way to survive and cannot compete. Although he knows that if Fang Hong builds the zoo according to the specifications he said, the cost will double.
Multiplied.
But they are not short of money, and they have made it clear that they only want to lose money and earn money.
There is no admission fee for children to play, so don’t worry about it. Parents will definitely take their children to the next door and will not come to your dirty and messy park that charges a fee.
You don’t have anyone with money, but they offer free tickets, so how can you compete with others?
Obviously, there is no way to compete at all, and there is a high probability that it will go bankrupt.
When Fang Hong released this news, the owners of the thousands of zoos currently operating in the country were immediately panicked. Even those large wildlife zoos with backgrounds were not optimistic.
When almost 90% of the zoo owners saw this news, they thought it would be better to transfer the business quickly and find someone to take over the business. It would be better to change their business quickly. With Stars Capital playing this way, this business will definitely not continue.
In fact, Fang Hong released the news today not simply to make big news, but to directly destroy the confidence of the zoo owners, aiming to carry out mergers and acquisitions and reorganization of the zoos in their hands, and then reorganize these parks according to the new
standard upgrade.
If we really reopen more than 2,000 zoos, Qunxing Capital can afford it, but the cost will definitely be higher than mergers and acquisitions, and from the perspective of the whole society, this will actually cause additional duplication of resources.
