“What’s there to shop about in the mountains? Isn’t it too black-hearted to sell a bowl of braised rice at such a high price?” After Gu Li finished speaking, she even frowned, as if she felt that this matter was not very reliable.
After all, a bowl of noodles with meat and eggs in the countryside was not more than two yuan.
A bowl of braised meat rice was sold for three yuan. Even if the food was delicious, no one would buy it.
Moreover, not everyone in the city was rich. If a bowl of braised meat rice cost three yuan, how could they survive in the future?
“Well
Hu Lin didn’t expect Gu Li to ask this. Although a bowl of braised pork rice that cost three yuan was a little expensive, he felt that it was completely worth it. Moreover, in this day and age, those who were willing to spend money to travel probably didn’t lack the money for a bowl of braised pork rice.
He said, “You don’t have to worry about that at all. After our scenic area is developed, we won’t lack people at all. Moreover, most of the people who can come to travel are rich.”
Gu Li still disagreed. “No matter how rich you are, you can’t extort customers, right? Three yuan for a
bowl of rice is still too expensive. Moreover, since you’re asking us to sell it, can we lower the price?
Hu Lin’s expression turned ugly. He knew that the villagers were simple and honest, but he didn’t expect them to be so honest. “I don’t have any objections if you want to set a lower price. It’s just that we might not earn so much when the time comes.”
“That’s not a problem!” Gu Li said, “I don’t care how much the scenic spot is priced, but the food can’t be sold at too high a price. Otherwise, those tourists who come here to travel will think that the scenery is good, but the food is too expensive. What if they refuse to come next time?”
“If you want to do business, you can’t be too anxious. You have to take it one step at a time.” Gu Li kept nagging. Hu Lin didn’t feel annoyed. Instead, he felt that Gu Li’s words made sense.
As businessmen, they had to rely on their conscience! They could not let their hearts down!
As expected, he was still young. He could not be too anxious about earning money.
Hu Lin said, “You have a point, but how much do you plan to price it?”
Gu Li thought for a long time. “1.50 yuan. I’ll add on another braised egg.”
Hu Lin’s lips twitched when he heard this. “Thatls too cheap. Can we earn money?”
Gu Li smiled. “I can earn money if tourists come over. If I really can’t earn it, I can take it back and eat it myself.”
Hearing this, Hu Lin was surprised again.
No wonder Gu Li could earn money. With such awareness, it would be strange if she didn’t earn money!
He said, “Well said! Since you set the price so low, I can’t set it too high. How about this? When the back mountain is built, I’ll only charge five yuan for the tickets!”
Song Yao smiled. “Boss Hu, what are you planning to do with the back mountain?”
Hu Lin had originally planned to buy the entire Song Manor, but he didn’t have that much money at the moment. He could only buy the back mountain first.
He said, “I want to build a fish pond and a Go Club. I want to build an amusement park at the back of the mountain so that adults can come over to fish and children can come over to play.”
Song Yao nodded. She had to admit that Hu Lin’s idea was not bad. Now, many people in the city wanted to come to the countryside to experience life after living a good life.
However, Song Yao seemed to have a better idea. She said, “Boss Hu, when do you plan to start work?”
Hu Lin didn’t hide it. “The sooner the better on the fifth of this month.”
Song Yao looked at the calendar behind her. It was already the 3rd today, which meant that work would start in less than two days.
“Actually, I have a better idea. I wonder if Boss Hu is willing to hear it.”
“A better idea? Tell me about it.” Hu Lin tilted his head. He was curious. Song Yao was a country bumpkin. What good suggestion could she have?
Song Yao said, “First of all, your original intention was to let more people in the city experience the joy of the countryside, right?”
“In that case, we can’t just build the Go Club and the fish pond. Think about it. City people can’t just fish when they come to the countryside. We can try to let them experience farming, picking, digging wild vegetables, and so on. In addition, I think they must stay for a night since they came all the way to the village to play. There’s no guesthouse nearby. If they want to stay, they have to drive to the town ..”
“I get it! You mean for me to pay for a bus!”
Hu Lin interrupted Song Yao.. Putting everything else aside, Song Yao’s words hit the nail on the head!
