Seeing this, Hu Pingtao raised his head, looked at Zhang Wanhe, and asked in a strange tone: "Brother Zhang, you said that Xiaofeng Mountain is very remote and is a newly developed attraction?"

Zhang Wanhe nodded: "Yes. Although Xiaofengshan Scenic Area is open to the public, many places are still under construction and have not yet been completed."

Hu Pingtao continued to ask: "Is there any relevant tourist data? For example, the relevant numbers of months or weeks?"

Zhang Wanhe hesitated: "You have to ask the statistics department to know this. If you really need it, I can give it a try."

Chen Miaoyun, who had been afraid to speak at the side, quickly stepped in and said to Hu Pingtao in a flattering manner: "Hu...Mr. Hu, I know something about this."

"Oh?" Hu Pingtao glanced at her: "Why, do you have data in this area?"

"No." Chen Miaojun replied quickly: "My husband is engaged in infrastructure projects. Although he has been overseas these years, he has more or less contact with projects in Hong Kong and the mainland, and he also has relevant connections."

"Five years ago, the Hong Kong government listed Xiaofengshan as a "preparatory development project." At that time, there were two opinions: one was to classify it as a real estate development, and the other was to turn it into a tourist attraction. Because the per capita residential area in Hong Kong City is small, so

The former opinion prevailed. However, due to various factors, the financial index fell, and the overall proposal was shelved. The Hong Kong government was unable to complete both plans and could only postpone it."

"During this period, there were several waves of capital forces pushing behind the scenes. They each had their own ideas, but one thing is common - that is, whether developing real estate or scenic spots, the prerequisite is to develop Xiaofengshan.

Stir-fried.”

Hearing this, Hu Pingtao understood something. He nodded slightly: "So some of the people who go to Xiaofeng Mountain are not tourists in the pure sense."

Chen Miaojun smiled politely and said: "There are many ways to hype hot topics. In the past, the most common method was to hire people to spread relevant opinions. For example, a certain stock is going to rise sharply, there is good development news in a certain place, or a certain company has received a large amount of money.

Financing... it’s just a matter of words, believe it or not. Later, with the advent of the Internet, similar practices became more flexible. For example, soft articles are the most prominent practice in recent years.”

"In recent years, there have been a lot of soft articles about the scenery of Xiaofengshan on the Internet. But one thing is true. Regardless of whether there is really a plan by the Hong Kong government or various purposes of the management behind it, the scenery of that place is really good."

Hu Pingtao nodded slightly: "In other words, if we build a large-scale subsidiary development project with the theme of "attractions", is it really profitable?"

Chen Miaojun did not deny: "There have been many examples of similar luxury villa areas. There are not many plots of land that can be developed in the port city. If Xiaofengshan is included in the key development plan, anyone who is willing to invest in the early stage can make a profit."

Hu Pingtao is very clear about this: "The key question is whether it can get the approval of the Hong Kong government?"

"Yes." Chen Miaoyun said: "So the scale of the capital push behind the scenes is not very large. Because of legal restrictions, they dare not and are inconvenient to push it with all their strength. In short, they can only stay within a limited trial range.

.”

Hu Pingtao's eyes flashed with shrewdness: "So the saying "Xiaofeng Mountain has nice scenery, is very fun, and is a good place for camping" has been circulated among the people in Hong Kong. But in fact, not many people who have actually been there have

many."

Zhang Wanhe also nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "The main reason is that the road leading to Xiaofeng Mountain in the past few years was dilapidated and the place was far away."

Hu Pingtao continued his speculation: "Later, the Hong Kong government built a new road... Actually, it can't be regarded as a new road. I looked carefully that day. At most, it was repaired on the basis of the original road and some protective equipment was added. If I

If you guessed it correctly, the reason why Xiaofengshan is famous now is mainly due to the publicity on the Internet."

Chen Miaoyun said: "That's true. Take me as an example. Although I am a native of Hong Kong City, I have never been to Xiaofeng Mountain and I am not familiar with it. Firstly, it is a long way and secondly, I don't know much about it.

interest."

Hu Pingtao narrowed his eyes slightly and said while thinking: "It's normal. Judging from your age, Ms. Chen, you were not interested in suburban scenic spots such as Xiaofeng Mountain when you were young. Later you got married and had children. With your current economic status

With your eyesight, it is even more difficult to access this semi-developed scenic spot. Firstly, there is no time, and secondly, there is inconvenient transportation... Of course, if the Hong Kong government goes all out to develop it and wait until the scenic spot is completed, you will definitely go and see it."

Without waiting for Chen Miaoyun's answer, Hu Pingtao continued his analysis: "Then the question arises. Since the investors have targeted the Xiaofengshan land from the beginning, and promoted and heated it up from all aspects, then what are they really doing?

What exactly is the group you value?”

Zhang Wanhe understood what he said and said with a smile: "Of course he can't be a little kid."

As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed at Chen Miaoyun, who was sitting opposite: "The purpose of investment is to make money. Only adults like me and Ms. Chen can afford to buy real estate."

Hu Pingtao raised his hand and patted Zhang Wanhe's shoulder and said in agreement: "To a certain extent, real estate development is actually a kind of gambling. If the project is good and gets everyone's approval, it will naturally make money. Let alone finished houses.

, even unfinished off-plan houses can be sought after. Building houses near scenic spots can only be said to be a

There are pros and cons. The reason why capital is behind the push is to get benefits from the Hong Kong government. For example, if a scenic spot is included in the plan, the Hong Kong government must increase capital investment... Let’s not mention this aspect for the time being. The question now is: Why

In Yao Xinqiu’s school, so many classes choose Xiaofengshan as an outing destination?”

As he said that, he let go of the diary, pointed at the words and said, "Look, this is written in the new autumn: the four classes of Form 3, Form 4, and Form 5 have all included Xiaofengshan in their choices."

Chen Miaojun also came over: "I know the situation of their school in Xinqiu quite well. There are sixteen classes in Form Three and Four in total, plus the four classes in Form Five, the total is twenty."

Hu Pingtao raised his head and said seriously: "Before coming to Hong Kong this time, I learned in detail about some of the practices of the school here. When it comes to outings, students can choose freely, instead of being specific about where to go like in the mainland.

The location is completely decided by the school."

Chen Miaoyun didn't understand what Hu Pingtao meant: "Our school gives students a lot of autonomy."

Hu Pingtao raised his hand and made a blocking movement: "That's not what I mean."

He turned to Chen Miaoyun and said seriously: "Ms. Chen, take you as an example - from when Xinqiu was a child to now, where have you taken her to in Hong Kong City?"

Chen Miaoyun thought for a moment and replied: "I have basically been to all the well-known scenic spots."

Hu Pingtao asked again: "Have you ever been to Xiaofeng Mountain?"

Chen Miaoyun shook her head: "No. I knew the place where I took her to play."

Hu Pingtao reached out and picked up a small pack of toothpicks from the table, unpacked them and laid them out one by one on the table: "Now let me summarize the problems of Xiaofengshan scenic spots. The first is the remote location, and the second is the problems in previous years.

The road condition is not good, and the reputation is not high before... Let alone other things, these three points alone are enough to become a fatal injury to a scenic spot."

"Later, with the Hong Kong government's temporarily uncertain plan and the push of capital behind it, Xiaofengshan became famous, and more and more people went there."

"There is a contrast effect here, which is the tourist data I mentioned before. The popularity of an attraction is actually directly proportional to the number of tourists. According to normal logic, the concept of "play" is usually limited to one day, while "tourism" is

More than two days, which must include a period of stay outside.”

"Adults in modern society are busy with work, and depending on their income and time, even walking around in a nearby park on weekends is considered a luxury by many people, let alone dedicating two days to go out.

travel."

"I have learned that the place in Xiaofeng Mountain is far away and takes a long time to get back and forth, so it is very suitable for camping."

"In this case, new problems arise."

Hu Pingtao looked at Chen Miaojun and Zhang Wanhe respectively: "Brother Zhang, Ms. Chen, please think carefully. If there is a brand new scenic spot now, its popularity and various situations are exactly the same as Xiaofeng Mountain. The premise is that you have never been there.

, based on what you have learned from all aspects, will you have the idea to take the initiative to see and play?"

Zhang Wanhe said without hesitation: "Definitely."

Chen Miaoyun also nodded: "Yes."

Hu Pingtao snapped his fingers: "Very good. But there must be a difference between generating subjective will and converting it into actual actions. The next question is: Will you go to that attraction?"

Zhang Wanhe touched his chin and said slowly: "It depends on the situation. If I have time, I should go."

Hu Pingtao turned to Chen Miaoyun: "What about you?"

"I...probably will go too!" Chen Miaoyun said hesitantly.

Hu Pingtao smiled: "Now let me change the question - taking yourself as an example, at what age do you think a child can go out freely?"

Zhang Wanhe looked at him: "You mean traveling alone for at least two days."

Hu Pingtao nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhang Wanhe answered without thinking: "I think you have to be at least fifteen years old. Of course, if the place you go is not far away and the time is limited to half a day or a few hours, then the age can be younger. Eleven or two years old.

That’s fine.”

Chen Miaoyun thought deeply and took longer: "I agree with Mr. Zhang's statement."

Hu Pingtao smiled and turned to Zhang Wanhe first: "In other words, you won't worry about your child going to Xiaofengshan before he is fifteen years old, whether he goes by himself or with classmates and friends?"

Zhang Wanhe nodded affirmatively: "Yes."

Hu Pingtao then turned to Chen Miaoyun: "Ms. Chen, do you think so too?"

Chen Miaoyun replied: "Yes."

Hu Pingtao leaned back and changed his sitting position. His tone was a little dull, but more inquisitive: "From a psychological perspective, the human subconscious has resistance and denial towards unfamiliar areas. Generally speaking, if there is no

Human beings rarely, if ever, get involved in the relevant interests.”

"We all know that "parks" are places to play. But whether you or I go to the park for the first time, we are led by adults. Either our family members, or kindergarten or school teachers. In a word: If you are not familiar with and

With someone close to us, we might never go to the park.”

"According to the rules of voting selection, the selection of a certain target must exceed at least half of the number of voters. As a result, new problems have arisen."

"First, in Xinqiu's school, there are really so many students who have been to Xiaofengshan and were deeply impressed by it. Going there once is not enough. Do you want to go a second time?"

"Second, even if there are so many people who like Xiaofengshan, don't forget that the people who made the choice are all students. According to the rules of the mainland, they are all high school students."

Zhang Wanhe frowned and asked: "Xiaohu, I understand the first question you asked. We will discuss it later. But what do you mean by the second question? Yes, according to your mainland rules, the New Year is indeed

A high school student, but how does this relate to what you said before?"

Hu Pingtao smiled: "Brother Zhang, do you have children?"

"Yes." Zhang Wanhe nodded.

"Boy or girl?"

"Male, I just entered Form One this year."

"Does he usually listen to you?"
