Chapter 1401: Ten Million Quota, Apply On Your Own!

Pei Qian was enlightened when he thought of this idea.
Opening a zoo to raise animals was definitely a good idea!
Of course, this matter was not that simple. A series of preparatory work was still needed.
After searching for relevant information online, Pei Qian roughly grasped some basic information.
At the moment, there were many private wildlife parks in the country. All he had to do was obtain the corresponding photo permissions.
For example, a certain crosstalk actor had bought 60 mu of land in the outskirts of Beijing and opened a private zoo. That was also something that people would take delight in talking about.
Of course, burning money was also burning money.
At the moment, it was not difficult for Tengda to obtain the corresponding permission. After all, there were so many successful projects in Jingzhou City. What’s more, they would definitely invest in the zoo.
He could not ask for more money.
Other people often set up private zoos out of love and true love for animals.
It was just like many people who opened cat cafes. In fact, the cat cafes did not make much money. That was because very few customers went there every day. The individual prices of each customer were not high. They could not make ends meet by selling coffee alone.

The expenses of the cat cafe were actually huge as well. Apart from necessities such as cat food and litter, every time a cat fell sick, it would cost thousands of yuan more. If they really kept cats according to high standards, most cat cafes would go bankrupt.
Therefore, many cat cafe owners could only think of secondary businesses such as filming short videos to obtain some income and subsidize the expenses of the cat cafe. In the end, they worked so hard. Not to mention exploiting the cat, they were actually exploited by the cat and worked for the cat.

It was even more so for the private zoo. It was much more difficult to run than the cat cafe.
On one hand, animals were very expensive. Ordinary beasts would not cost less than 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and ordinary birds would not cost less than thousands. What’s more, some rare and valuable protective animals.
What’s more, if he wanted to take good care of these animals, he would have to cage them, feed them, transport them, the expenses of the breeders and cleaners, and the money for treating the animals. All of these were definitely not a small sum.
In addition, the zoo was an industry with a very obvious cluster effect. Some small private zoos only had about ten animals, and there were no particularly precious animals. No matter how cheap the price was, no one would visit it.
Since tourists wanted to see animals, they would definitely go to some large city zoo. As time went by, the small wildlife zoo would incur more losses and would naturally not be able to continue.
This was obviously bad news for others, but it was obviously good news for Pei Qian!
The more losses he incurred, the better!
If these animals could really eat to their heart’s content and collapse Tengda, Pei Qian would probably have to bow to them on the spot to express his gratitude.
After some consideration, Pei Qian decided to put the construction of the zoo on the agenda.
However, there was a problem. No one in Tengda seemed suitable to be in charge of this zoo at the moment.
1
That was because in Pei Qian’s opinion, the most important thing to be a zoo director was to love animals sincerely. He really wanted to work in this industry for the rest of his life. What’s more, he had to master basic professional knowledge. He had to respect animals and raise them scientifically.
However, Tengda really did not have such a person.
Most people had grown up in the city from a young age. They basically liked wild animals like a dragon. It was not a problem to look at the Great Lions and Great Tigers from afar. Occasionally, they would feel that it was very fresh to see monkeys jumping up and down and reaching out for food. However, ordinary people would definitely not be able to persevere if they really spent a long time with animals and had to worry about food, drinks, and poop of these animals all day long.
Little Tang was probably the only one in Tengda who had anything to do with rearing animals. After all, she was the cat keeper and the chief catkeeper. However, the problem was that rearing cats was worlds apart from rearing wild animals.
What’s more, even though Little Tang was a top student, she did not major in vetting. Wouldn’t it be a waste of talent to become a zoo director?
Thus, he had to think of a way to find the person-in-charge from outside. What’s more, he had to think about the specific construction method of the zoo.
After that, Pei Qian began to think about the last question. Which industry should he invest the ten million yuan that he had converted from his own pocket into a profit margin?
This was really a problem for Pei Qian, who had difficulty choosing.
That was because the profit margin was neither too much nor too little.
If he wanted to save time, he could just find an industry to spend it on. In any case, they would only distribute coins. It would be the simplest not to use their brains. However, the problem was that pure distributing coins would definitely increase the attention and reputation of this industry. projects that were not popular might become popular, and projects that were already popular might become even more popular.
If he made a wrong choice, the 100,000 yuan that he paid out of his own pocket would trigger a chain reaction. Then, he would be tricked by the system again.
How should he choose?
Pei Qian looked at Tengda’s dazzling array of industries and felt a headache.
I’m dying laughing. I can’t even choose!
“Forget it. Why should I use my own brain on this? Wouldn’t it be better to let the heads of the various departments think about it?”
“I’ll ask them to apply themselves. I’ll write down the reason why they need this sum of money clearly. Then, I’ll choose an industry that doesn’t need this money the most.”
Pei Qian was completely impressed by his own wits.
If a certain department needed this money, it would mean that it would be the most effective and influential after obtaining it.
Since that was the case, he could not give it to him!
On the other hand, the departments that did not need this sum of money and were only here to make up the numbers would definitely not be able to write any particularly convincing reasons. They would not be of much use after obtaining it.
Pei Qian could do the opposite and give the money to them without any worries.
The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. He immediately wrote a simple notice and asked the person-in-charge of the department who was interested in obtaining this sum of money to write a report.
…
…
January 16th, Wednesday…
Pei Qian arrived at his office and continued his unfinished work.
Pei Qian would become very busy every time settlement approached. That made him a little depressed.
尤其是现在学校都快要放寒假了,下个月就要过年,偏偏好死不死地赶上了周期结算.
Pei Qian wanted to be as happy as his other schoolmates. However, he could not. In order to rest well during the Chinese New Year holiday, he had to arrange the settlement in advance.
If he were to lie flat, he would have worked for nothing for half a year.
First, he switched on his computer and checked the applications from the various departments.
Pei Qian had already paid ten million yuan out of his own pocket for the profit margin. Two days ago, he had also asked the various departments to send an application to explain in detail the reason why his own department needed this money and the use of it after obtaining it.
The various department heads were very efficient. They had already sent the applications over today.
What’s more, the contents of the application were very detailed. All of them patted their chests and guaranteed that as long as they obtained this sum of money, they would definitely be able to use it appropriately. They would maximize the popularity, let their own department’s industries expand rapidly, and seize more markets!
It was especially so for Fish-Catching Take-Out, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, and other physical industries. It was written very sincerely.
The other departments were not inferior either, and they had their own reasons.
Some departments that were not very popular at the moment thought that this sum of money should be given to them. That was because the development of the various departments was uneven. They should be taken special care of. Once they developed, they would naturally not fight for similar resources.
Those departments that were already very popular at the moment also thought that this money should be given to them. They would be able to obtain better returns after receiving this money.
The veteran departments felt that they were not as popular as the new department. They should give some subsidies.
The new department thought that developing and growing was an important direction for Tengda Corporation’s industrial layout. It should focus on resources and strive for a breakthrough.
Pei Qian spent a lot of effort reading all the reports from these departments.
In the end, not only did it not treat his difficulty in choosing, but it also aggravated his situation!
“What a scam!”
“I really can’t decide who to give this to!”
“For the departments that are not making money, you promised me that you would definitely improve the situation of losing money; for the profitable departments, you promised me that you would definitely make more money.”
“I think you’re making things difficult for me, fatass!”
Pei Qian was speechless. He knew that the people in charge were all unreliable. They could not even share his burdens with a small sum like 10 million yuan, much less a huge project that would lose hundreds of millions.
He had to rely on himself in the end!
After flipping through the applications, Pei Qian fell into a dilemma once again.
However, as he flipped through, he suddenly had an idea.
“Eh? My way of thinking doesn’t seem right.”
“I’ve fallen into a survivor bias. The departments that are willing to spend so much effort to write this application must be departments that need the money. Since they have written it, they must write it beautifully.”
“Since that’s the case, I’ll see which departments did not apply at all.”
“Not submitting applications means that we don’t need the money. In other words, throwing the money to these departments would not affect their profit situation much.”
Pei Qian suddenly had an idea. He immediately ran through the reports of these departments, matching them with Tengda’s main departments.
However, he realized that GOG’s project team was the only one in the larger department who did not send this report.
“Eh? GOG did not publish it.”
“Hmm… that makes sense. After all, GOG’s revenue is too fierce. At the moment, its market share in the country is almost reaching the ceiling.”
“If we distribute this money to the local server, it would actually be a pure benefit. It would basically be useless for GOG’s market expansion.”
“As for revenue… it will definitely not be effective because this is a pure benefit event, not a discount event.”
“GOG’s project team must have considered the low price-quality ratio of the money and felt a little embarrassed. That’s why they did not apply.”
“Alright, I’ll give it to you!”
