NOVPUBFang Hao’s answer seemed to be within Wang Qianyu’s expectations.
Wang Qianyu pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile, "Director Fang, the only reason you don’t want to sell is that you feel the price isn’t right."
"Our boss says, anything and anyone has a price."
"You name it, we won’t bargain."
Wang Qianyu was very confident, after all, he had the backing of Ding Sheng Group, which possessed assets worth tens of billions.
A small zoo was not something he couldn’t handle, was it?
"Ninety billion," Fang Hao said indifferently.
The smile on Wang Qianyu’s face froze.
Are you kidding me?
I let you name any price and you just go wild with it!
Seeing that Wang Qianyu was at a loss for words, Fang Hao sneered, "What, you can’t afford it? If you can’t afford it, then scram. What are you pretending to be here with me for?"
"Watching too many war god novels all day long and you let me name any price. Is your head kicked by a donkey?"
Wang Qianyu: ...
Wang Qianyu’s expression turned extremely gloomy.
That’s not right, the intel before coming here didn’t say that Fang Hao had such a sharp tongue.
Wang Qianyu said sternly, "Director Fang, letting you name any price is a sign of our sincerity. But if you refuse the toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, then don’t blame us for not being polite."
"We can’t afford ninety billion, but we can afford nine million."
"That money is either for you or for someone else, you can choose for yourself."
This statement from Wang Qianyu was an outright threat.
Nine million could serve as both the fee to buy the zoo and the cost to bankrupt it.
Either take the money and run or let them send people to cause trouble, Fang Hao was given a choice between the two.
It had to be said that Wang Qianyu was indeed a master of negotiation.
His words were veiled, but full of threatening implications.
Just as Wang Qianyu himself felt he had spoken with great flair, Wu Bin held up the camera, aimed it at Wang Qianyu’s face, and gave him a close-up.
"Not bad, good emotion, keep it up."
"The look in your eyes could be a bit more sinister, and curl up the corners of your mouth, can you do a sneer?"
Looking at the camera that was filming right in his face, Wang Qianyu was momentarily dumbfounded.
Wang Qianyu stepped back two paces, and immediately a bodyguard stepped forward to guard him.
"What are you doing? Who let you film me, turn off the camera!"
Wang Qianyu was very angry.
The more people do things that cannot see the light, the more they fear the camera.
But Wu Bin was still trying to get Wang Qianyu’s best angle, which left the photographer beside him both crying and laughing.
Fang Ru said with a smile, "This is the new celebrity spokesperson we’ve hired for our zoo, Student Wu Bin."
"Student Wu Bin is a person of great interest to Magic City TV, and he’s always live streaming. We can’t shut down the live stream just because you’ve come to cause trouble, can we?"
Wang Qianyu was clearly impatient.
"What kind of top focus person, and a spokesperson at that. You think by randomly hiring some little internet celebrity online you can revive your zoo from the dead? Dream on!"
The assistant looked at Wu Bin, the more she looked, the more familiar he seemed.
She couldn’t help but search for Wu Bin’s name, and when she saw the results, she was taken aback.
The assistant hurriedly pulled on Wang Qianyu’s sleeve.
"Secretary Wang, this Wu Bin is a big internet celebrity with over two million followers!"
"And the number of people in his live stream room is actually over a million people online!"
Yikes!
Hearing what the assistant said, Wang Qianyu inhaled sharply.
A live stream room with over a million people online?
Wait, brother, are you that popular?
Wang Qianyu instinctively glanced at the camera lens and suddenly felt fear.
This was not just any camera lens, it was like over a million eyes staring right at him!
At this moment, if I misspoke a single word or phrase, I’d likely be internet-shamed tonight!
With that thought, Wang Qianyu went quiet for a moment and then said, "Retreat."
Upon hearing Wang Qianyu’s words, the bodyguards immediately got into the car and left in a hurry.
"Wu Bin, thank you."
Fang Hao looked at Wu Bin with a grateful expression.
Wu Bin cheered.
"It’s nothing, just lending a hand."
"If you’re going to talk business, just talk business, why all the bluster and blather. People like that need to be taught a lesson."
"But, Director Fang, why did those people want to buy your zoo, and why did you refuse to sell it?"
Fang Hao sighed, not elaborating further.
"Just follow me on a tour, and you’ll understand."
Under Fang Hao’s lead, a group of people began their visit to the zoo.
It was clear that the zoo wasn’t in the best financial shape; many of the basic facilities were quite worn out.
Even some vending machines hadn’t been restocked, standing forlorn in the corners, looking very drab.
"Our zoo has a total of twenty-one animal exhibits and seven display areas."
"There are over three hundred animals, from more than fifty species, making it a medium-small sized zoo."
"Look over there, we’re about to reach the bear exhibit."
No sooner had Fang Hao finished speaking than the group walked into an exhibit area marked with a bear exhibit sign.
Wu Bin was a bit excited too.
"I remember the last time I went to the zoo, I was seven years old, so it’s been more than ten years since my last visit. I’m actually quite excited."
To the cameraman, Wu Bin said, "Make sure to get some close-ups of the animals later."
After all, Wu Bin was now the zoo’s brand ambassador, so he had to deliver value for the money, right? n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
However, when they all saw the black bears in the exhibit, everyone froze.
This is a black bear?
Are you sure it’s not a wild boar?
It’s so damn fat!
"Director Fang, the black bears in your zoo... they seem well-fed," Wu Bin remarked.
Fang Hao shook his head at Wu Bin’s comment.
"The food is just average. The zoo hasn’t been profitable for a long time, so their food quota has been reduced to a quarter of what it used to be."
Wu Bin fell silent.
Reduced to a quarter and still managed to get this fat.
What would they have been like before the reduction?
Netizens in the livestream couldn’t help but laugh.
"Good heavens, this is the first time I’ve seen such a fat bear, it’s lying on the ground without moving."
"Take a look at that bear over there, is it asleep? Why does it still have half an apple in its paw, damn, eating while sleeping?"
"Guys, my eyes aren’t deceiving me, right? Is that bear wearing Nike? Why does it have a Nike logo on its chest?"
Wu Bin wasn’t an animal expert and didn’t know much about animal care either.
Anyway, Fang Hao said that’s how black bears are.
He’s the director, so what he says goes, I guess.
The group left the bear exhibit and then arrived at the leopard enclosure.
Again, as soon as they entered, they were stunned.
In Wu Bin’s memory, leopards were slender felines.
But why did the leopard they were looking at in the cage look as fat as a pig?
"Director Fang, this... how did you manage to feed the leopard until it got so fat?"
Fang Hao explained seriously, "This isn’t fat; it’s just that it’s old and its skin has loosened, which makes it look fatter. Actually, this is a normal physique."
Wu Bin: …
