Chapter 84 Uncle Fu Joined In
In addition to Zhou Fu, some other businessmen, who also wanted to get some popularity during the summer vacation, also came to Zhou Yu’s doorstep. It made Zhou Yu not know what to do. He had not even recruited people for his own water park yet, but those businessmen already came to seek for cooperation.
If they wanted cooperation, to be honest, Zhou Yu didn’t really mind. There were all kinds of vendors selling all kinds of snacks in the village whenever there was a troupe in town. Without them, the fun of enjoying the performance of the troupe would be less by half, and so would the amusement park.
Anyway, almost all the snack vendors around the village had come to visit Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu’s yard suddenly became bustling with people for a while.
However, the quality of the goods that were sold by those vendors needed to be checked. He did not want to let some shady businessmen in to cause trouble for him. Luckily, reputation this kind of thing was very easy to be verified in a small place like this.
Lao Zhang’s Ho Fun noodles from Xiaqiao village, and Aunt Li’s pastry from Shangbu village were both relatively well-known. They both even had restaurants in Wutong Village as well.
Consulting with Zhou Fu and the old village chief, he selected several local businesses to enrich the snack area of the water park. The cold drink area was assumed by Zhou Fu’s supermarket. The variety and brands were certainly not as many as in the city, but for the “business alliance” that was formed in a hurry, it was still not too bad.
If Zhou Yu wanted to do it well, he must find some professionals. However, Zhou Yu was a lazy otaku. Of course, he wouldn’t give himself too much work.
Looking at a group of really unprofessional vendors, Zhou Fu really wanted to say something. But he could only sigh when he saw that the owner of the amusement park didn’t even have any complaints.
Such a good amusement park. It should be a high-end and elegant leisure place. But when anyone entered Zhou Yu’s park, there would be someone shouting “PANCAKES!!! Delicious pancakes!!!” or “Ho Fun noddles!!!” on both sides of the entrance, it felt like a market more than an amusement park. It was certainly not going to work out if they carried on like this. It would be a real waste to have such an amusement park. So Zhou Fu found Zhou Yu and decided to talk to him about this.
“I have never managed an amusement park before, but I have seen quite a few. But none of them was like this. The water park has been built, but there are no plans or whatsoever. Boy Yu can you be honest with me. This amusement park, do you want to do it properly or you simply just want to play around?”
Zhou Fu’s tone was somewhat heavy, mainly because the people from the village really hoped that the amusement park would do well. But Zhou Yu didn’t seem to be concerned at all. He didn’t even seem to want to open this amusement park to the public at all.
But this question, Zhou Yu found it really difficult to answer. Saying he wanted to do it properly was a lie. But it wasn’t just completely for fun. He knew that it was his personality problem. He was like a snail. He wanted to do everything slowly, and only think about the problems when it appeared.
“Uncle Fu, I’m not a business person. You should know that. The amusement park will certainly continue to stay open, it will just be a little bit slow.”
“Then why don’t you find a good manager? Seriously, this is not those models you built before. You can’t do it alone. Why did you invest so much money at once if you didn’t know anything about business management and you didn’t even want to hire a manager? If you let your father know about this, he will definitely whoop your ass.”
Zhou Fu felt helpless. He knew Zhou Yu was a good boy, but he was definitely not suitable to be a businessman. If this situation continued, little paradise amusement park would definitely be operating at a loss. And by the time when there were not enough funds to support it from running, or people stopped coming to visit, then it would collapse instantly.
The villagers of the Luhua village still hoped that little paradise could become successful, so the young people in the village would not need to go to the city to look for works. And Luhua village would not just be a village for old people.
With the greenhouses alone, they could not keep young people in the village at all. This was also one of the reasons why they looked forward to the future of the amusement park. But how could the park be operated in such a foolish way?
Since it had already got to this point, Zhou Yu could only begin to tell uncle Fu the truth. If he could help Luhua Village, he would do his best. However, he certainly didn’t want to over-commercialize the park. Otherwise, what’s the difference between his park and Disneyland. If it really became like that, he would rather stop doing everything and go back to his small yard.
At first, his goal was to open a rural amusement park with the main focus on all types of farming activities. Water park, pirate ships, and rollercoasters or some other activities like those were just side projects. It would be great if there were some tourists. But if there were no tourists, it would just be a normal agricultural production organization.
After listening to Zhou Yu’s explanation, Zhou Fu was constantly scratching his head. He didn’t know what a rural amusement park should be like.
But an ordinary amusement park definitely would not be able to compete with the amusement parks in the city. After all, those park owners were much richer and they had better locations.
After a while, Zhou Fu suddenly asked, “Are you sure that the amusement park will continue to stay open?”
Seeing Zhou Yu nodding his head, he let out a sigh and said, “okay, then let me partner up with you. I’ll find someone to manage it. And we will do it the way you said it, not like the amusement parks in the city.”
Zhou Fu finally made up his mind. Originally, he also wanted to revitalize Luhua Village as well. However, there used to be just him alone in the village. Now that there was another person – Zhou Yu. If he worked with him, he might really be able to make it work. Even if it didn’t know out as he expected, at least, he tried to help the village.
Zhou Fu wanted to join, which was somewhat unexpected by Zhou Yu.
Based on the economic strength alone, Uncle Fu was definitely superior to him, and comparing the management skills, Uncle Fu was several times better. No matter how people looked at them, Uncle Fu looked more like a boss than Zhou Yu.
“Uncle Fu, please stop pulling my legs. You are already busy enough with your supermarket. How do you have time to manage the amusement park?”
If it was just one person, he didn’t have much pressure. But if there was another person joining in. Then if it failed, it would cause a lot of trouble for other people.
“The supermarket is basically on track. Even if I am not there, it won’t affect much. Besides, I’m less than 40 years old. Some people even consider that this is the best time to start a business. Don’t tell me that you are not welcoming me? Otherwise, why are you constantly finding excuses to decline me?”
Zhou Yu shook his head in a hurry. If uncle Fu could join him, it was absolutely a good thing. However, he still couldn’t figure out why uncle Fu wanted to help him to manage the amusement park. Even he himself had no confidence in this amusement park. Before, all he planned was to continue selling the games to keep the amusement park running. He did not really want to give uncle Fu so much troubled work.
“Okay, okay, I can see that you made this park just for fun. You spoiled kid. Don’t worry, I won’t interfere with any project developments. I will only make some suggestions and help out with the amusement park management. What do you think?”
Since uncle Fu had already given in so much, there was no reason for Zhou Yu to decline it anymore. In the end, both of them discussed in detail about uncle Fu’s initial investment fund and shares.
The news of uncle Fu joining boy Yu’s amusement park project spread fast in Luhua Village the next day, and it immediately caused quite a stir in the village.
Before Zhou Yu lived in the village, Zhou Fu had always been the great man in the village. When it comes to business, everyone would raise their thumbs, praising how competent he was. Zhou Yu was also very good, but after all, no one knew about games, and all they knew was that making games would make a lot of money.
Now that both rich men were working together. There was no way that little paradise would not be successful.
Everyone was thinking if Luhua Village was really going to thrive like Wutong Village now.
