Chapter 436: No rules and no circle
The old and the young stared for a few minutes, and finally Li Xiang sighed helplessly.
As an old man, he certainly knew that what Boss Xiao Liu said was not a shirk, but a fact.
This is an open area, not a controlled area, so Boss Xiao Liu can't prohibit tourists from going to Babixiong to see wild snow leopards. And if he really does this, it will inevitably arouse tourists' disgust. Once this disgust gathers, it will cause irreversible reputational losses to Boss Xiao Liu's business.
Boss Xiao Liu couldn't give up investing in a business worth hundreds of millions of dollars for a wild snow leopard.
A wild snow leopard doesn't have such high value either.
"Oh..." Li Xiang sighed helplessly, "Forget it, I'll apply to the higher authorities to see if this can be solved."
"Well..." Liu Mo'ang pretended to hesitate for a moment, "Well, old man, I just came up with a solution, see if this is OK."
"Oh? Tell me quickly." The old man was a little anxious.
"Old man, you see, since we cannot stop this tourist or control it in a compulsory manner, can we provide organized guidance?"
"Organized guidance?" The old man raised his eyebrows, "You mean..."
"Old man, in ancient times, Dayu knew that it was better to loosen the flood than to control floods. Why didn't we use this method? The attractiveness of wild snow leopards to tourists is undoubtedly extremely huge. Now almost all tourists who come to the inn to visit know that there is a wild snow leopard here. If the opportunity is good, you can still enjoy the wild snow leopards up close. In this case, it is impossible to stop these tourists."
"Well, you're right. If the conflict is really intensified, something else might happen." Li Xiang nodded in agreement with this statement.
"Instead of this, we might as well just guide the tourists to the designated locations we have organized to see wild snow leopards. Well, what I mean is that if tourists want to see wild snow leopards, we should not only not stop them, but also help tourists realize their desire to see wild snow leopards at close range. But wild snow leopards are not so easy to see, so we can open a safe area in the area where wild snow leopards often move in the name of the inn, fence them with barbed wire, and then build a passage to the outside with barbed wire. In this way, we can guide the tourists into this safe area in batches, so that they have the opportunity to see wild snow leopards at close range. Moreover, because of barbed wire as protection, snow leopards cannot harm tourists, and tourists cannot affect snow leopards. This should be a win-win solution."
Li Xiang's eyes lit up. He thought for a while before slapped his thigh and said, "This method is feasible. However, the location set up in the tourist safety area should be farther from the snow leopard's activity area, at least more than 200 meters away. Otherwise, with the alertness of the snow leopard, the snow leopard would not appear in front of those tourists."
"Old man, don't you think 200 meters are too far? The wild snow leopard is so big. If you leave 200 meters, you will almost never be able to see it."
"Xiao Liu, two hundred meters are already very close, okay? Do you know how many meters the distance was nearest when we photographed snow leopards? I told you that at least the distance should be more than 500 meters, otherwise once the snow leopards are discovered, they will run away immediately. Looking at the wild snow leopards at a distance of 200 meters, tsk, I didn't even dare to think about this distance before."
"No, old man, I don't think so." Liu Mo'ang simply rejected Li Xiang's statement.
"Do you remember the first time we saw my white lion and snow leopard playing together in Babixiong a few days ago? It seems that we were only forty or fifty meters away from the snow leopard at that time. Later, after the two golden eagles flew over, even if you observed and photographed at such a close distance, the snow leopard didn't run away?"
Li Xiang frowned, "Xiao Liu, what do you mean..."
"Well, what I mean is that. You have also analyzed before that the mother of this snow leopard died early, and then this snow leopard was fed by the herders of Obacuo since childhood. Well, maybe the contribution of my white lion. But no matter what, this snow leopard is still slightly different from the real wild snow leopard. I think this snow leopard may be because of the life and growth experience of childhood that it is not so alert to humans."
"Well, what you said seems to be reasonable."
"Old man, I don't think what I said seems to be reasonable, but that's it. Otherwise, if you were so close to it that day, why didn't it run away? Still so calmly and have fun with my white lion?"
This time, the old man started scratching his scalp.
"So I think the tourist safety zone can be set up more inwardly. I already have an idea now, see if it's OK."
Li Xiang nodded.
"I plan to build a cement platform similar to the observation deck in the area where the snow leopard is often active. There is a barbed wire mesh outside and a barbed wire mesh passage leading to the outside. At that time, tourists can stand on this platform to watch the snow leopard, but it is strictly forbidden to make loud noises, nor should they be expelled, otherwise they will be expelled. We must first set up good rules and follow the rules in exchange for observing the snow leopards up close. Anyone who does not follow the rules will be expelled. I think this way tourists should be able to accept it. After all, this is to appreciate wild snow leopards up close, not watching in the zoo. And I think if someone violates the rules, it is probably not necessary for us to expel them, and other tourists will drive away the person who broke the rules.
Also, the number of people entering the safe area is limited and the time is limited. For example, only twenty people can enter at a time, and the time period is one hour. Then I will prepare a telescope for these tourists to prevent the snow leopard from being too far away and cannot see clearly. In addition, I also arranged for the herdsmen of Yubacuo to put animals such as lambs or chickens in the snow leopard activity area during the tourist's viewing period for snow leopard hunting. Maybe tourists can also enjoy the scene of wild snow leopard hunting up close. If it really doesn't work, when tourists are watching, I can't even pull my white lion over to play with the snow leopard.
If this is possible, you can follow this rule. Once an inertia is formed, it will become a win-win situation. Visitors can not only enjoy wild snow leopards up close, but also your scientific research and daily life of snow leopards will not be disturbed by disorderly tourists."
As the old man listened, his originally frowning brows slowly stretched out, "Xiao Liu, try it like this first and see how the situation is. If you can control this situation as you said, it is not impossible to do this."
Liu Mo Angxin said: "Of course it's OK to do this. In your eyes, Mantou is just a wild snow leopard, but that guy is actually my daughter! It's OK to do this!"
"Old man, if you agree, I will arrange for someone to build the tourist safety zone in the afternoon."
The old man hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed.
After Director Wang Guangli returned, this old man was the leader of these experts, and he had the final say here.
If you want to build a tourist safety zone with a small area, it is a drizzling thing for the inn. Now the hot spring resort is still under construction, and there is no shortage of materials or artificial equipment. Xue Liqiang asked to make a change and ask the supervisor to sign. Then, after he, the party, signed the sign, the resort could immediately find a dozen people to come with equipment and materials to get the tourists safe zone.
This thing is not difficult, especially for professional construction workers.
In less than three days, a circular observation deck of three meters high and about ten meters in diameter was built. There is a guardrail of one and a half meters high around the observation deck, and a circle of two-meter-high barbed wire mesh below. In addition, a channel of more than 200 meters long and four meters wide barbed wire mesh that is blocked with barbed wire mesh directly leads to the outside.
At that time, tourists can enter the viewing platform through this passage and then watch the wild snow leopards up close on the viewing platform.
As for whether you can see it, you have to be happy to see the steamed bun.
Anyway, there are only twenty people entering at a time, and these twenty people can only stay on the viewing platform for forty minutes. Including the time of entry and exit, the time for a group of tourists is only one hour.
Any tourists who dine and stay in the inn can naturally come here for free to watch wild snow leopards. Of course, tourists who do not have dining and stay can also enjoy wild snow leopards for free with tickets to ski resorts, pastures, paragliding clubs, star-watching houses, and hot spring areas.
As for those foreign tourists who come specifically for wild snow leopards, I'm sorry, we won't accept them.
Restrictions must be given, otherwise if anyone can come to see the snow leopard, the order at the inn will definitely be in chaos.
As for the inn's behavior that foreign tourists are not happy, there is nothing we can do about it.
Rules are rules. Since rules are set in this way, you must abide by them. Without rules, you cannot achieve a square or a circle!
Tianlu Inn is not the inn that needed to see tourists' faces last year. Although the inn now puts tourists first, the inn now has the confidence to say "no" to tourists.
In our inn, you can do whatever you want elsewhere, but this wild snow leopard cannot do it here.
If you still think it is unreasonable, then you can consult the experts yourself. See if those experts will give you a good face?
Not to mention that after Liu Mo'ang was dressed up, the situation on Babixiong's side suddenly improved.
With order, tourists are happy to see, experts are happy to be idle, and the inn can continue to gain fame. The most important thing is that through the word of mouth of these tourists, Mantou has now completely become an internet celebrity!
