The back office area of the farm and the holiday accommodation area are in the same area.
The group of several people soon came to the comprehensive office building.
In the lobby of the office building, there were already about a dozen people standing, and they seemed to be waiting for Lin Cheng and Lin Momo.
"This is Lin Cheng, the future boss of our farm," Xu Yi pointed to Lin Cheng, introduced to everyone, paused, then pointed to Lin Momo, and introduced: "This is our little boss, Momo."
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly greeted Lin Cheng and Lin Momo.
Lin Cheng also looked at the crowd and nodded: In front of him and the driver who picked them up just now, there are 12 people in total.
"This is Uncle Yan, who is temporarily in charge of driving and patrolling the farm every day. This is Aunt Wang, who is in charge of cooking in the cafeteria. If there are guests, Aunt Wang will also cook. These two are Li Xiaofen and Wang Jia. The two are mainly responsible for cleaning the office area and the dormitory area, and Jiang Dazhi is responsible for the management, cleaning and animal feeding of the small zoo..." Xu Yi pointed to the 12 people in front of him and introduced Lin Cheng and Lin Momo.
"Is that all the people on the farm?" Lin Cheng frowned slightly and asked.
Xu Yi showed embarrassment, lowered his head, and said, "Well, there is another Sister Liu who was recruited locally and doesn't live on the farm at night."
Xu Yi's voice became less and less confident as he spoke, and finally he could only bite the bullet and nodded, and said in a low voice: "At present, there are only these people, because..."
Xu Yi wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Lin Cheng: "Let's go up and talk about it."
"yes."
After sending everyone back to rest, Xu Yi brought Lin Cheng and Lin Momo to the office on the second floor.
"Here is the introduction of the farm and some historical materials." In the office, Xu Yi handed a copy of the materials to Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng opened the information, which gave a general introduction of the farm's location, area, construction period, official operation time, business scope, and some plans.
In the planning, the business scope of the farm is very wide, including: the operation of resorts and hotels, the operation of playgrounds, the operation of zoos, the production and sales of agricultural products...and the production of related agricultural and sideline products.
"Have all these business projects been licensed?" Lin Cheng asked.
"The previous 14 items are all licensed, and they are all within the scope of the license period. Other licenses are also complete, except for the last item, the production of agricultural and sideline products. According to the previous plan, the farm has reserved land for food factories and production workshops. Yes, but due to funding problems, the factory stopped when the infrastructure construction was completed, and the required equipment has not yet been purchased." Xu Yi replied.
It has to be said that the previous operator of the farm had a good concept and a lot of ideas. The concept of "integration of tourism experience, production and marketing" of this comprehensive modern farm was well planned, but the other party obviously ignored the cost and market issues.
Lin Cheng didn't speak, and continued to flip through the materials and look back.
The next page is the staffing plan of the farm, including 9 chefs, 20 security personnel, 3 equipment technicians, 12 resort hotel logistics staff, and 20±5 farm workers... Calculated, the entire farm should at least Configure 126 people.
The audience in the live broadcast room also saw the personnel plan in Lin Cheng's hands at this time, and expressed surprise:
[The plan was for 126-148 people, but there were only 13 people on site? what's going on? 】
【I just wanted to say, how could such a large farm with so many facilities be able to operate with only 13 people. 】
[The gap between ideal and reality is too big...]
"Because the business volume of the farm has been limited for more than a year, in order to save unnecessary expenses, the original operator fired unnecessary personnel, leaving some people to maintain the basic operation of the farm." Xu Yi explained from the side .
He has already said it very euphemistically. To be honest, it has been less than three years since the farm opened. Except for a few groups of customers in the first two or three months, the business situation has been bleak since then. When guests come, things cannot be sold.
It was beyond the means to make ends meet, how could the former operator have the money to pay the salaries of so many employees.
The corners of Lin Cheng's eyes twitched, he put down the information in his hand, and asked, "What's the current valuation of the farm?"
"This...haven't specifically invited professional people to conduct a comprehensive value estimate. The land of the farm was replaced, and the existing assets are estimated to be about 110 million. The overall valuation...should be no more than this number How much?" Xu Yi replied.
Lin Cheng: "Financial status?"
"The total investment of the former operator in establishing the farm was about 200 million yuan. Among them, the operator personally contributed 30 million yuan, borrowed 90 million yuan from the bank, and borrowed 30 million yuan from the chamber of commerce where he worked through notarization, and obtained an investment of about 40 million yuan. "
"The former boss has already repaid 60 million to the bank, and we paid the remaining 30 million to buy the place."
"It's just..." After a pause, Xu Yi continued: "The previous investors asked to withdraw their capital. According to the agreement signed by the previous operator and them, they need to return 95% of them, which is 38 million, within half a year. In addition, the loan from the Chamber of Commerce It also needs to be paid off by next June..."
[Wait, I didn't understand, according to the administrator, this farm is now in debt of 68 million? 】
【So we Momo didn't become the rich second generation this time, but became the 'negative' second generation? ! 】
[From the moment Momo and Momo's dad entered this farm, I vaguely felt a little cheated, but I didn't expect it to be so cheated! 】
[The gate of this farm is about to fall off, and it looks miserable inside. It looks like it hasn't been opened for a long time, and it looks like it's about to close down. 】
[Woo, I was too naive. I should have thought of it when I saw the 'addition and subtraction of 6 million' on the program group card. 】
【Me too... I thought Momo and Lin Cheng were finally angry, but they were still black. 】
Facts have proved that the hands of the black hand father and daughter are not black but only darker, and the blackness is endless.
[No wonder the program card didn't ask Lin Cheng and the others how much money they made, but only asked them to maintain the farm. 】
[It's such a trap, how dare you ask them to make money. 】
【that is…】
Everyone complained for a while.
After complaining, everyone began to worry about Lin Cheng's business problems again.
[This farm is about to close down, how can it still operate. 】
[Yeah, no customers and no business, how do you make money? 】
【What I am most worried about now is not the issue of making money, but whether the farm can survive this week...】
[So what are Lin Cheng and the others going to do? 】
…
While everyone in the live broadcast room was talking, Lin Cheng also raised his eyes to look at Xu Yi.
Meeting Lin Cheng's gaze, Xu Yi lowered his head and silently wiped his cold sweat.
— It really can't be his fault.
According to Mr. Lin's request, the company under the Lin family not only bought the farm this time, but also bought an amusement park, an aquarium, a children's themed shopping mall, and a snack processing factory.
Time is short, if it is a farm that is in good operating condition, how can it be sold to them so easily, so they can only choose some farms that are located in the outskirts of the city and are eager to transfer due to poor management.
Originally, the company had planned to hire a management team with a high salary first, and then invest a large sum of money to bring the farm back to life. Even if it couldn't be brought back to life in a short time, it would try to attract some guests for free, so that the place would at least look lively.
Who would have thought that Lin Cheng and Lin Momo's luck would be so 'perfect', they didn't get drawn in the amusement park or the aquarium, but they got here first...
At present, the management team is still on the road, and the funds cannot be brought in temporarily because the recording of the program has started.
Seeing Xu Yi's embarrassing expression, and looking aside at Lin Momo who obviously didn't understand but also followed with a nervous expression, Lin Cheng lowered his eyes and let out a low laugh, relaxed his tone, and said, "98 million, I bought it. 110 million things, no loss."
Hearing Lin Cheng's relaxed tone, Xu Yi also heaved a sigh of relief.
It's just... not comforted: From an investment point of view, this deal is not a good deal.
Lin Cheng looked through the information in front of him again, and asked, "Which parts of the farm are still in operation? What's the situation with the rest?"
"Playgrounds and zoos have been undergoing basic maintenance, so re-operation is not a big problem. Judging from the current situation, the other farms, fish ponds, and farmland orchards may need to recruit some farmers to gradually resume operations. But the crops and product output channels after operation are still a problem.”
After a pause of two seconds, Xu Yi continued: "At present, only the resort hotel is still in operation, but the business situation is not very optimistic."
"How pessimistic?" Lin Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked.
"In the past year, and the following six months, the order volume is still 0," Xu Yi said with a light cough, "Currently, the one-night resort hotel fee on the platform has already been discounted by 30% off the original price, and it is still not there. People book."
"What was the original price?"
"Originally, the price of an ordinary garden-style room is 198 to 298 per night. Considering the geographical location and traffic factors, the price of the villa is relatively low, ranging from 528 to 828." Xu Yi replied.
The entire resort has 5 sets of double-storey villas, 10 sets of single-storey villas, and 6 three-storey holiday bungalows, with a total of 195 rooms. The price of the most expensive double-storey courtyard villa has been lowered to 248 per night by the previous boss, and no one cares about it.
Lin Cheng heard the words, thought for a moment, and then said: "Ordinary guest rooms will resume the original pricing tomorrow, and villas and pricing will be submitted to the price department again, and the charges for the same type of accommodation will be raised to about 1,000 to 1,200 yuan."
Hearing Lin Cheng's words, Xu Yi was taken aback for a moment, and repeated confirmation with a puzzled expression: "You said you want to increase the price?" Instead of lowering it?
Lin Cheng looked at Xu Yi, and asked, "What do you think is the reason why the farm holiday rooms cannot be booked?"
"This..." Xu Yi thought about it, and said, "The main reason should be that the location of this place is hard to find. It takes a long village road to get here, and the traffic is not very convenient. Everyone thinks that coming here is inconvenient and the cost is too high. , so even if you notice the holiday information here, you will give up after various considerations.”
Lin Cheng nodded and added: "Cost-effective is relative. If the cost of transportation is greater than the cost of accommodation, it will make customers feel that it is not cost-effective, but on the contrary, under the premise of value for money, 1200 is spent. Will you care about the transportation cost?"
When Lin Cheng said this, not only Xu Yi was stunned, but even many viewers in the live broadcast room were quiet for a moment.
Xu Yi subconsciously nodded: From the perspective of consumer psychology, it seems to be true.
— It’s just that, boss, have you forgotten that you are still broadcasting live now? You have made this so clear that the whole network may know it.
The situation was exactly the same as he thought.
After a period of 'quiet', the barrage area in the live broadcast room suddenly exploded:
[Woc, it makes sense. 】
[I have to say that Lin Cheng has spoken out all the little thoughts in my heart. 】
[Hahaha, it’s true, I’ve already stayed in a hotel at 1200 a night, so what’s the distance. 】
[Moreover, if it is more expensive, it will always make people think that the hotel should be very good, but it is too cheap. I still wonder if the hotel is too bad. 】
…
Here, after explaining the housing price, Lin Cheng continued to ask: "The current activity fund of the farm is 1.5 million?"
"To be precise, there are 1.45 million left." Knowing that Lin Cheng and Lin Momo were coming, Xu Yi temporarily found some local people to clean up the entire farm. If it wasn't like this, it would look even worse here.
Lin Cheng nodded and began to order: "First, update the information on the Internet, including the address of the farm, accurate location, reservation and promotion information."
"Second, arrange personnel recruitment. According to this 126-person staffing plan, except for the temporary halving of the number of chefs, zoos, and guides, the rest will remain unchanged. In addition, external marketing and product operation positions will be added."
"Third, increase the number of sightseeing vehicles in the farm and the reception vehicles on the way outside the farm to the village, change the outermost sign from the previous 'Happy Bowl Farm From Here' to 'Happy Bowl Farm Welcomes You', contact the local committee , upgrade and beautify the road landscape along the way from the entrance of the village to the gate of the farm, take stock of the facilities and equipment currently available in the farm, and take out the list and budget as soon as possible if repairs, upgrades or repurchases are required, and refurbish the entire farm, it is not necessary The moving parts will remain as they are, and other damaged or safety hazards will be repaired, and the budget will be drawn up before 10 o'clock tomorrow night..."
"Above, what's the problem?" After Lin Cheng finished speaking, he looked at Xu Yi and the two assistants behind him.
Xu Yi has never had any doubts about the work arrangement of his own president, it's just...
"Boss, we only have 1.5 million available right now, 1.45 million." Xu Yi reminded cautiously.
"Personnel salaries are calculated from the time of entry and paid after one full month. In addition, equipment purchase and farm repair expenses are paid as a deposit of 30% of the contract amount, and the rest will be settled within 2 months after the use is correct."
"Yes." Xu Yi agreed.
At this time, everyone in the live broadcast room was not calm:
【Oh My God! Lin Cheng's arrangement is too bold! 】
[I was still thinking about the remaining 1.45 million. Lin Cheng and the others saved a little, and they should be able to last a week until the end of the mission. I didn't expect...]
【What is Lin Cheng doing? ! 】
[That 1.5 million is not made! 】
[No, it's 1.45 million. 】
[Even if it's just a deposit, what about the final payment? 】
[Also, what if the farm is still not in operation? 】
[It's over, it's over, this time I lost even more. 】
[If they lose more, the program team won't let Lin Cheng and Lin Momo lose money. 】Everyone has a bad feeling.
[In the future, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo won't really have to work to pay off their debts. 】
…
While everyone in the live broadcast room was worried about the future survival of Lin Cheng and Lin Momo, Lin Cheng was thinking about the remaining expenses.
"Prepare these for the time being. The farm and the park will be decided after I have seen the situation in detail tomorrow." Lin Cheng said.
It was already evening when the father and daughter arrived at the farm, and with all the troubles, it was already dark, so they had to wait until tomorrow to see the whole farm.
"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible." Xu Yi nodded again and agreed.
"The room is ready, Boss, you and Momo can go to rest first." Xu Yi said again.
Lin Cheng nodded and looked at Lin Momo who was on the side.
While Lin Cheng and Xu Yi were talking, Lin Momo was listening all the time. Although she didn't understand the content of their conversation, Lin Momo still heard the key information.
"Father, don't we have enough money?" Lin Momo asked worriedly.
"It's barely enough for now, and I can make more money later." Lin Cheng and Lin Momo said.
Lin Momo nodded, and then said seriously: "We can plant the land, pick the fruits by ourselves, raise pigs, chickens and fish by ourselves, so we can save some money."
Seeing Lin Momo's serious appearance, the corners of Xu Yi and the two assistants' mouths twitched violently: Ms. Momo probably doesn't know how big the planting area of the farm is.
Lin Cheng looked at Lin Momo and smiled, and replied, "Yes."
"Sleep well today, and I'll take you there tomorrow morning." Lin Cheng promised Lin Momo.
Recently, Lin Momo felt like he had been beaten at night. The fact that he didn't sleep well gave Lin Cheng a headache.
"Okay!" Lin Momo responded excitedly.
After explaining a few words to Xu Yi, Lin Cheng took Lin Momo to the dormitory.
Their room was on the ground floor behind the staff accommodation and was nicely furnished with a small pool and garden.
With the father and daughter in debt, the living conditions are probably the only comforting point.
Thinking about going to farm and raise pigs tomorrow, Lin Momo had no time to admire their new room, so she packed up and went to bed early.
Early the next morning, when Lin Cheng woke up, Lin Momo had already packed herself up and waited in the living room.
Seeing Lin Momo appearing in the camera in the living room, the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help laughing:
【Hey, what shape is Lin Momo in? 】
[Hahahaha, I laughed so hard, luckily I got up early, otherwise I might have missed such a funny outfit. 】
At this time, Lin Momo was wearing a pink T-shirt and a pair of loose pants with red flowers printed on a green background and the English word "fower" on her pants. There are colorful sleeves, a pair of bright purple water rubber shoes on the feet, a knitted hat with a large brim on the head, a sweat-absorbing towel under the hat, and a small electric fan that can blow air around the neck. Finally, the left Carrying a water bottle, on the right is a small flower planting tool sponsored by Mr. Lin, and on the back is a magical small bench that can be squatted at any time.
[To be honest, my grandma also has a pair of pants of the same style, but the ones on them are golden apples and 'iPhone' patterns. 】
[What the **** is 'fower'? Misspelled it? 】
[I've seen this kind of pants in the market next to the vegetable market in my hometown. Although I don't know what material they are made of, they are really cool and convenient. 】
[But being ugly is really ugly. 】
【Momo, where is your idol burden? 】
…
At this time, seeing Lin Momo's outfit, the corners of Lin Cheng's mouth twitched.
"Where did the clothes come from?" Lin Cheng asked, he didn't remember that he bought such ugly clothes for her.
"Well, my grandpa asked someone to prepare it for me." Lin Momo said, and repaired her new equipment in front of Lin Cheng in a chattering voice.
When I was at the Lin family on the weekend, I heard Lin Momo excitedly say that she wanted to farm. Mr. Lin didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm, and he was afraid that his great-granddaughter would get sunburned, so he asked Zhou Ming to prepare such a set of equipment for Lin Momo.
Lin Gardener bought the clothes according to what she felt most comfortable and convenient when she was working. They are not only cool, but also resistant to dirt and sun. They are definitely the best choice for working in the field.
Apparently, Lin Momo was quite satisfied with her clothes, and found a knit hat of the same style from her luggage, handed it to Lin Cheng, and said like a treasure, "This is prepared for you by my grandfather. "
Lin Cheng: "..."
[I felt Lin Cheng's rejection through the screen. 】
【Hahaha, I feel it too. 】
"Let's go." In order to prevent Lin Momo from taking out any more blinding equipment, Lin Cheng took the hat from Lin Momo's hand and pulled her out.
Because the new chefs and logistics service personnel are not in place, the place where the two eat is also in the staff canteen of the office building.
At this time, Xu Yi was already waiting in the cafeteria. Seeing Lin Cheng coming, Xu Yi hurried up to meet him.
"Boss, the staffing has been arranged. At present, some farm workers and security personnel are in place, and the rest are expected to be in place this afternoon." Xu Yi reported to Lin Chenghui.
"Also, there is one more thing..."
"What?"
"All the hotel rooms were booked out last night, and they are fully booked for the next week."
The room reservations posted by the hotel on the platform are for the next week, probably because Lin Cheng said in the live broadcast room that the price of the room will increase. Many people want to catch up with the last wave of discounts, so last night Lin Cheng explained his work and left Finally, before Xu Yi had time to arrange someone to change the previous price, the room was already sold out.
"However, after the price increase, many orders have been received one after another."
Speaking of this, Xu Yi was a little excited. Although the low-price orders placed earlier may not be profitable, they can at least bring popularity to the farm, and further orders are also increasing.
