Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal Chapter 229 - Brother Dali is Going to Open a Park

Chapter 229: Brother Dali is Going to Open a ParkTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The whole world was stunned. Hong Dali had indeed been carefree these two days. It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about how big a reaction there would be through the coming out of Big Turtle. Anyway, he’d done that from the start purely because he thought that Big Turtle was too pitiful to lie there like that…
Currently, he was in Caiwei Entertainment on the ninth floor of Chenhui Building, lying on Li Nianwei’s lap as he listened to the latest updates reported by Ling Xiaoyi. Ling Xiaoyi was indeed the number one lackey of Hong Dali, as she really organized all the matters in a clear manner. “Young Master, construction works for the constructing of the zoo have already started. Due to it being purely a wild animal zoo, it’s not very difficult to construct it surrounding the mountain beside Fengyuan Lake. I believe that it will not take much time before the construction of its rough scale is completed. Currently, around 800,000 needs to be spent on this project in total.”
“800,000…” Hong Dali was dissatisfied with this number. “Isn’t it a bit too little? It would have to cost a full one million. En, if not, just make a little yacht in Fengyuan Lake, and create some games or something in the surroundings. That’ll seem more like it.” It was only 800,000, which wouldn’t even allow him to exchange for a single attribute point. How could that be!
“This…” This time, it was Ling Xiaoyi’s turn to feel gloomy. “Young Master, spending some more money can be done. However, the land at Fengyuan Lake is not big, and moreover, Fengyuan Lake has taken up a huge amount of space there. The remaining mountain can at most house inns and wine shops on the peak of the mountain. With an additional amusement park constructed, the space is not big enough.”
“Is that so…” Hong Dali touched his chin and, suddenly, turned to his lackey Li Yang by his side. “Lackey, let me see the map.”
“OK!” Lackey Li Yang’s specialty was to run errands, and his hobby was also to run errands. In the blink of an eye, he’d gotten a specially designed map of the Fourth Loop. “Young Master, the map is here.”
“Not bad, reward for all, everyone will get 1000 yuan!” Hong Dali directly gave out tips, and after the few lackeys went off to count their money while grinning from ear to year, Hong Dali sat straight and touched his chin as he stared at the map. “En, this Fengyuan Lake is indeed a little too small. Seems like it won’t be easy to construct a wild animal zoo…”
“Yes, in that case, Young Master, your instructions are…” Wasn’t this exactly the reason why that piece of land at Fengyuan Lake had always failed to be sold.
“Wait while I take a look…” Hong Dali looked at the area around Fengyuan Lake and then looked at Tang Ya’s zoo. He shook his head and said, “These two places are too far apart from each other. Xiaoyi, about how long is the distance?”
Ling Xiaoyi looked at the proportional scale on the map and made a rough calculation, then she said, “It’s around 10 kilometers, approximately.”
“En, this is a little too far indeed, it can’t be connected…” Hong Dali continued to look at the map again. Suddenly, he saw the outer area of Tianjing Mountain, and instantly, his face lit up as he asked, “What about the distance from this outer area of Tianjing Mountain, how far is it?”
Fengyuan Lake was originally already the outermost area of the West Fourth Loop and wasn’t too far from Tianjing Mountain. Ling Xiaoyi looked at it and confirmed. “It’s only about four to five kilometers, approximately.”
“En, that’s settled then!” Hong Dali violently slapped the map. “The zoo will be open in the outer area of Tianjing Mountain!”
“Dali!” Upon hearing this, Tang Muxin was immediately shocked. “People will all come to see Big Turtle. If the zoo is open at the outer area of Tianjing Mountain, then who would still want to go and see the animals?!”
“How does it concern me whether or not they go and see the animals?” Hong Dali strangely asked. “I didn’t expect to earn money. Moreover, I’m putting the animals in the forest because I hope that they would have a better life, it’s not to earn money.”
“This…” Tang Muxin helplessly said, “Alright. Anyway, all the things you do are not for earning money…”
However, Hong Dali suddenly touched his chin again as he smiled and said, “If it’s so, there’s still not enough money squandered…” He took a look at the map again, and suddenly, his eyes lit up brightly, and he violently slapped his thigh. “I know! Xiaoyi, can you link it to a roller coaster?! That kind of thing that travels very, very fast and is extremely thrilling?!”
Roller coaster was a type of motorized amusement park facility, and it was commonly found in amusement parks and theme parks. A roller coaster was a type of amusement tool that was filled with thrill and excitement. The feeling of going by the wind and that exhilarating sensation made quite a number of people mesmerized with it.
For a moment, everyone was rather confused why Hong Dali had mentioned it at this point.
Tang Muxin was, after all, still smarter, she very quickly thought through it and exclaimed. “Dali, you aren’t planning to use the roller coaster to fetch the guests back and forth, are you?! That will scare them to death!”
“Will it?” Hong Dali thought for a while. “En, then we’ll put the roller coaster at the outer area of Tianjing Mountain. There’s a zoo and underground cave there. I feel that if we make another theme park, coupled with a filming base, hahaha! Those kids will have a very happy time playing, won’t they!”
“Oh my god!” Tang Muxin listened with wide eyes. “You’re burning money! Such a big amusement park and you’re not even collecting money from entrance tickets, that’s tens of millions at once…”
“I still feel that it’s not satisfying enough. This scene is too small. But what should be done to have a big scene, I don’t have any inspirations…” Hong Dali grumbled, and soon after, he asked again, “Xiaoyi, are there any more matters?”
Ling Xiaoyi looked at her notebook and said, “There are other things as well. Currently, many people have contacted us to use Big Turtle for their advertisements. The advertising fee this time is very high, mostly around one million, and there’s a total of 22 companies. Have a look, Young Master…”
“Decline them.” Hong Dali said without even thinking. “It’s annoying to have so many advertisements. I usually hate commercials the most when I watch programs. Moreover, Big Turtle will not be happy about it as well. Look at how happy it is swimming in Fengyuan Lake the whole day. Don’t accept them, don’t accept them.”
“OK.” Ling Xiaoyi helplessly sighed as she thought, Advertisement fees worth more than 20 million are gone again…
“Are there any other things?” Hong Dali, upon seeing that Ling Xiaoyi did not have any other matters, swayed his head groggily. “I don’t care, Xiaoyi. You’ll be in charge of that. I’ll go to sleep first.” This fellow, upon finishing what he said, laid on Li Nianwei’s lap, and within less than a minute, had fallen asleep.
“The sleep quality of carefree people is really high!” Tang Muxin pouted her red little lips and, after she and Xiaoyi stared at each other, the two of them went on to quietly exit from the living room of the entertainment company. Afterward, they entered a small conference room.
The laptop was turned on, and the video setup was connected. Very soon, Old Elder Hong Tu’s profile picture appeared on the screen. “Hehe, Miss Xiaoyi, are there any latest developments on Dali’s side?”
Ling Xiaoyi nodded and said, “There is, Old Elder. Young Master wants to construct the zoo at the outer area of Tianjing Mountain, and then he aims to construct another theme park. Currently, he wants to purchase a roller coaster to be installed. Old Elder, do you think you can make any link?”
“Roller coaster, I can make the link to it.” Hong Tu stroked his mustache. “Dali plans to open a theme park. En, there’s a zoo, an amusement park, an underground cave, the earnings from the entrance fee will be very substantial. Not bad, not bad.”
He regretted.
Ling Xiaoyi said, “But Young Master says that this park will not charge entrance fees…”
“What?!” Hong Tu almost bit his tongue off. “Free of charge?!”
“Yes.” Ling Xiaoyi wasn’t surprised at all. “This is Young Master’s usual style.”
“En…” This time it was Hong Tu’s turn to be gloomy. He hurriedly called Mu Yuxi, who had been at his side, over. “Yuxi, come quickly, come quickly.”
Very quickly, Mu Yuxi’s aloof figure appeared beside Hong Tu. “Old Elder.”
“Have a seat first. Assistant, get Yuxi a laptop too, we’ll properly study into this today.” Hong Tu arranged for his assistant to get the laptop, and very quickly, the three of them started a video conference. Hong Tu said, “Yuxi, Dali plans to open a theme park. There’s a zoo, an amusement park, an underground cave, but he won’t sell entrance tickets. What do you think?”
“Not selling entrance tickets?” Mu Yuxi said in shock. “It will cost tens of millions to set all these up, won’t it? These are all not cheap goods, and solely the roller coaster alone will cost quite a lot of money. Such a thing… Can Dali really manage to earn money?”
“I also don’t think that’s good.” Hong Tu stroke his mustache. “In that case, in your opinion, what is there to expand?”
“Currently, it can roughly be…” Mu Yuxi thought for a while and said softly, “Only setting up some game projects in the amusement park. For instance, the Ferris wheel that little children like to sit on.” Upon speaking up to this point, her eyes suddenly lit up. “Right, Old Elder, I’ve figured it out!”
“Oh? Say it.” Hong Tu smiled and said.
Upon hearing Mu Yuxi say that she had figured things out, Ling Xiaoyi was rather curious as well. Those things set up by Dali had always been unpredictable, could she really figure it out?
Mu Yuxi straightened her thoughts, then slowly said, “With the amusement park being free of charge, that can attract a large number of tourists over. Thinking of it, since there’s popularity, that will naturally stimulate expenses. We only need to set up some stores selling ice cream, barbecued meat skewers, and so on. It doesn’t need to be too big, and whether it’s rented out or opened by us, it would not be a small amount of income. By then, with more entertainment projects that charge money—for example, ice skating rinks, Ferris wheels, and so on—that would be quite a large amount of income, too. Old Elder, Miss Xiaoyi, what do you think?”
“En, that’s indeed a good idea.” Old Elder touched his chin. “Miss Xiaoyi, what do you think?”
Ling Xiaoyi thought for a while. *What this Mu Yuxi said has indeed made quite a lot of sense. Though it won’t be too many earnings, an annual earning of a few million will at least not be a problem. However, Young Master seems to dislike collecting money, so I can’t call the shots. En, at least for these entertainment projects, Young Master doesn’t seem to be willing to collect money from it. It’ll be more like it if we collect money from the cold drinks store and barbecue stores, etc. *
Thinking up to there, Ling Xiaoyi suddenly shook her head again. “However, Young Master seems to like protecting the natural environment very much. Thus, he may not be willing to set up these stores. Old Elder, I have a presumptuous request. I urge Old Elder to grant my request.”
“Very well, say it.” Hong Tu nodded.
Ling Xiaoyi slowly said, “We, as lackeys, are unable to interfere too much into things that Young Master sets up. I can report them to Old Elder, but I urge you not to start the project construction without Young Master’s knowledge of it—at least for the main projects. May I know whether that can be done?”
