Chapter 75: The Liyuan Farm Has Registered!
Chapter 75: The Liyuan Farm Has Registered!
"Thinking about something!" Zhang Lin replied to Fu Yao, then looked at the newly acquired construction scroll.
This construction scroll, like the previous ones, didn't consume any of his available constructions, but it was different in that it didn't specify a particular size or type of construction. Instead, it required him to define the construction area and type himself.
This made it much more flexible and gave him more freedom.
However, the system only provided a few options: hotel, guesthouse, inn, RV park, and camping ground. It seemed he didn't have much choice.
Among these, a hotel would be the most prestigious, but considering the current state of the farm, building a hotel would be a bit impractical. A hotel would cost at least ten thousand per square meter, with high costs for various facilities. To accommodate enough guests, the cost could soar to hundreds of millions.
A simple hotel wouldn't be cost-effective either. As for guesthouses and inns, they didn't meet the current needs of the farm. An RV park or camping ground, while not ideal, was also a high-cost, low-efficiency project.
So, the camping ground was the only viable option.
After all, it was the lowest-cost and fastest-impact project. Building a 100-acre camping ground with 2,000 tents was feasible. If he wanted to make it more comfortable, he could build 1,500 tents with additional service facilities. The total cost would be a few million, and a bit more for a higher-end version.
It was this coincidence that made him think the system was setting him up, giving him this scroll after he mentioned that he would choose Fu Yao's design.
So, he subconsciously glanced at Fu Yao's design.
Fu Yao's design was based on the farm's terrain, with tents as the main feature and grass lawns as the secondary. Each tent had its own small courtyard with independent shower and sanitation systems. There were also independent public barbecue areas and tea supply stations.
This style was quite unique.
Additionally, the nighttime lighting design was a common feature in many places.
Finally, she referenced the Liyuan Farm's terrain, placing the camp near the river to introduce river water, creating a swimming pool and water activities.
In summary, there were many advantages, or rather, Fu Yao designed it based on what she would like to experience herself.
This design seemed to resonate with girls, and Lin Mengxi was very optimistic about it.
So, it might be worth giving it a try, giving her a chance.
Moreover, if the game system's environment beauty +1, sleep quality +1, and guest comfort +1 attributes were applied, the design's flaws might not be the most critical factor.
Zhang Lin didn't know how to choose this design, so he tried whispering to himself.
To his surprise, the game system responded:
【The current design has significant flaws, lacking proper water supply facilities, power distribution paths, and essential facilities such as rest areas, public restrooms, and waste collection stations!】
Zhang Lin was taken aback.
Design is indeed an art that amateurs can miss. He hadn't expected Fu Yao's design to have so many flaws, but she hadn't formally studied it and had learned on her own.
The design was unusable as it was, and he needed to address these issues before construction.
However, after some thought, he said, "Fu Yao, you put a lot of effort into this design. What if I build it?"
"Ah???" Fu Yao.
"Um???" Lin Mengxi.
Both girls, who were watching the evening live stream, were stunned.
Fu Yao had never considered this possibility.
Lin Mengxi hadn't expected Mr. Zhang to be serious, even though he had mentioned choosing Fu Yao's design. She thought it was just a polite gesture.
While she thought Fu Yao's design was good, hearing that Mr. Zhang would actually build it felt surreal.
"Uncle, are you serious?" Fu Yao asked after a moment, a mix of excitement and anxiety in her voice.
After all, this was her first design, and she didn't want it to end up in the trash.
Zhang Lin was straightforward, "However, your design is incomplete. It lacks many essential elements. We need to address these issues before it can be used."
"Uncle, what's missing?" Fu Yao asked eagerly.
Zhang Lin smiled and pointed out the issues, "First, your design lacks a proper water supply system. Where will the water come from? Where will the reservoir be built? How will the power be distributed? We can't just run wires everywhere, right? We need to consider power boxes and such."
"Also, it lacks public rest areas, public restrooms, and waste collection stations."
Fu Yao was dumbfounded.
She hadn't realized her design had so many flaws. If Uncle Zhang hadn't pointed them out, she wouldn't have known.
Wasn't this saying her design was useless?
Lin Mengxi was also surprised, looking at Zhang Lin.
To be honest, she thought Fu Yao's design was great, but she hadn't noticed these issues.
She was impressed that Mr. Zhang could spot so many problems with just one look.
Now she understood why he could create such a popular place as the Liyuan Farm. His skills in this area were truly remarkable.
What was even more touching was that despite knowing the numerous flaws in Fu Yao's design, he still acknowledged her effort and said he would choose and build it.
This was all about considering Yu Yao's feelings.
Now, by expressing the issues this way, Yu Yao would definitely find it easier to accept.
Lin Mengxi couldn't help but pause, her gaze lingering on Zhang Lin's face.
This kind of man truly had a certain allure, making one involuntarily want to admire him.
However, Yu Yao softly said, "Uncle, can you speak a bit slower? I'll write it down and make the changes at home, then bring it back for Uncle to review."
"???" Lin Mengxi was taken aback by this. Was this girl really taking it seriously?
She had already sensed that Boss Zhang was just being polite, and anyone would have realized that after hearing so many issues, no one would continue discussing them.
"Sure, I'll explain it in more detail. You go home, make the changes, and bring it back to me to see if it works!" Zhang Lin smiled and began to elaborate on the problems for Yu Yao.
"???" Lin Mengxi opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
It seemed they were both taking it seriously, while only she thought it was just polite talk?
Seeing the two of them discussing the design, she couldn't join in. At that moment, she noticed the director, Wei Yuan, approaching, so she hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"What are you two discussing?" Wei Yuan asked curiously.
Lin Mengxi didn't hide anything and explained the situation, then sighed, "Director, do you think Boss Zhang is really serious about this?"
"Isn't that a great selling point?" Wei Yuan was also surprised, "Although using a high school girl's design might seem unreliable, if Boss Zhang personally guides her, that changes everything. Boss Zhang knows what he's doing, and once the campsite is built, it will be a high school girl's design, which is a great selling point and excellent for publicity."
"Ah??" Lin Mengxi was stunned again by her director's words.
Was it really like that?
She hadn't thought about it that way at all.
Wei Yuan smiled and sat down at the table, then asked Zhang Lin, "Boss Zhang, I heard you have a new plan!"
Zhang Lin smiled and said, "Yes, there's a campsite project, which seems to need approval from the Department of Agriculture!"
"The land aspect is!" Wei Yuan smiled, "Additionally, it needs approval from the police, environmental protection, tourism, and over 10 other departments. But don't worry about that. Linyuan Farm has already been registered with the county, especially since Old Zhao mentioned the Bamboo Cultural Park project at the county meeting. The county magistrate is also very interested in this project. Today, Old Zhao even personally led a team around the county to find skilled bamboo craft inheritors."
This made Zhang Lin understand. It meant that the approval process for his Linyuan Farm project would be smooth sailing.
However, there was no rush. For one, he currently lacked funds, and secondly, it would take some time for Yu Yao to complete the design.
What surprised him was that the Bamboo Cultural Park project had already been registered with the county.
It seemed that combining bamboo culture with tourism was indeed more attention-grabbing. As they say, culture comes first, and this was politically correct.
Because of this political correctness, Zhao Han was putting in a lot of effort, even visiting a master craftsman in the village late at night with Wang Yu.
"Director Zhao, this old man, Guo, is stubborn and refuses to authorize his family's traditional techniques to Linyuan Farm. His two sons don't even want to learn and have gone to work elsewhere," Wang Yu complained as they walked.
Zhao Han didn't say anything but entered an old, dilapidated house with Wang Yu. Inside, they saw an old man weaving a bamboo fan. Just by looking at his work, it was clear that the fan was excellent.
Zhao Han had done his research on this old man, Guo, who was indeed a traditional craftsman and fit the tone of the Bamboo Cultural Park. His bamboo products were also of high quality.
Unfortunately, hand-woven products couldn't compete with machine-made ones. A machine-made fan might cost 10 yuan, while his hand-woven one would cost 50 yuan. Why would anyone buy it?
While his craftsmanship was excellent, to the general public, the utility was about the same.
But if you could engrave 'Linyuan Farm Souvenir' on the fan, it would have a commemorative value. If you added 'Youcheng Bamboo Cultural Heritage Craft,' it would have cultural value as well.
At 50 yuan, there would definitely be buyers.
Wang Yu immediately approached the old man, "Old Uncle Guo, I'm Wang Yu. I'm here to discuss the Bamboo Cultural Park project with you."
"Can't you understand when someone says they're not interested?" Guo didn't even look up as he retorted.
Wang Yu immediately waved his hand, indicating his helplessness to Zhao Han.
Zhao Han looked around the old house and smiled at Wang Yu, "Wang Yu, if Old Uncle Guo doesn't want to, we'll leave. Besides, isn't Master Li next door already on board? His bamboo fans are 50 yuan each. With Linyuan Farm expecting at least 10,000 visitors a day, even if only 1,000 buy souvenirs, Master Li can handle 30 visitors a day with his skills."
"Even if he makes 20 yuan per fan, he could earn 600 yuan a day, which is nearly 20,000 yuan a month. As Linyuan Farm attracts more visitors, his earnings will increase. I heard his son working outside is planning to come back and learn from him."
With that, he started to lead Wang Yu out.
However, Guo's voice suddenly rang out, "Is that true?"
Zhao Han smiled, "Of course, it's true. However, my subordinate said you weren't interested in authorizing your techniques to Linyuan Farm. We won't force you. Goodbye."
"No, I never said that to him!" Guo hastily denied.
"???" Wang Yu was stunned.
Didn't you just say that this evening?
Guo ignored him and asked Zhao Han with a smile, "Leader, when can you take me to meet the boss?"
