The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 81 Trial Opening

It was not easy to keep one of the best manga artists. Zhou Yu had to tolerate his weird tempers and odd interests. Anyway, the speed of releasing the chapters was rearranged to one chapter a week. If there was more, he would just save it, in case the next time when similar things happened.

Recently, Zhou Yu was playing on the beach of the wave pool very often. Clearly, he was not a kid anymore, but everyone was still surprised that he seemed to be very addicted to playing sand. What other people did not know was that there was actually a group of mini people playing with him.

Most of the decreation work had been completed, it looked a lot like a water park now. What was left was just to hire a management team. However, there was one problem. The water park would only be operated during the summer, after the season it could only be closed. Now that the amusement park had no other projects besides the water park. He could only recruit part-time workers.

Recruiting people from the city? The people from the city were most likely not willing to work in a village. Besides, it was just a temporary job. And the most important thing was that it would be too many troubles. He did not want to deal with that.

So far, the official registration paper showed that there was only one employee – the owner Zhou Yu in the company. Without any opening plan, everything was completed quietly. It was so quiet, that people often wonder when the amusement park would open.

Though there was no advertisement, quite a lot of people from several nearby villages had already heard about the amusement park. In particular, Wutong Village – a village that had thrived because of the popularity of rural tourism. The people from Wutong Village both loved and hate little paradise this amusement park.

They loved it because there would be an additional entertainment project, which could attract more city people to come to the town. They hated it because they also did not understand why the amusement park was built in Luhua Village, which was more than 30 minutes’ ride away. It was more or less inconvenient. If it was built in Wutong Village, with the delicious food and entertainment projects combined, they would definitely become every successful.

Wutong Village’s tourist attractions had already become well-known. And almost all kinds of shops and restaurants were opened on both sides of the 100-meter street, that was leading to the city. It was also near the provincial city. People often drove to the village to try the authentic green and fresh countryside food, from the city every night. It had already become a popular trend in the city. Some people were even more extreme, after the work, they even drove to the village, and picked their own vegetables directly from the farmland, and then passed them to the restaurants, that they booked, to cook it for them.

There was no main road from Wutong Village to Luhua Village, so it would be troublesome to drive between the two villages. Before the Little Paradise amusement park was built, the consulting company also considered the road problems and tried to select a place that was close to the main road, but still, it could not completely solve the problem.

For the amusement park to make money, road construction was necessary. Unfortunately, they met with Zhou Yu, who did not want to make money at all.

It was truly an odd person. It made people constantly question the purpose of opening the Little Paradise this amusement park. Since the beginning of the year, it had been a half year. And It was said that the water park in the amusement park was already complete. Moreover, the summer was near, but he still did not want to open the park?

‘Open the park? Don’t be silly, at least, wait till I’ve had enough fun!’

Turning on the wave machine, waves gradually appeared in the swimming pool that was filled with water and hit the small sand beach one after another. This was a memorable first time of starting the machine, Whether the wave machine could work properly or not, there would be a few more days of tests, and when it met all the safety standards, then the water park would be opened.

However, Zhou Yu didn’t plan to rush for any opening celebrations. Because this summer, it could only be regarded as a trial opening. The real opening time was still unknown since he had not had enough fun.

Of course, it would be too luxurious for a person to occupy the water park alone. Zhou Yu thought that he should share it with some people.

So the next day, he arrived at Luhua Primary School.

Today, Mr. Hu welcomed a strange guest in the school. It was Zhou Yu, who had been nicknamed “Boss Zhou” recently in the town. At such a young age, he was able to set up an amusement park, that had taken up a huge area of land. Although it was in a village, it could still be regarded as a successful person.

“Boss Zhou, shouldn’t you be busy with the amusement park’s work? What are you doing here in primary school? Don’t tell me that you are trying to get customers from here?”

Indeed, since it was an amusement park, children were naturally the main customers. With the coming of the children’s day, any smart businessmen would want to take this opportunity to work with schools to give children some special offers. However, Mr.Hu did not think Zhou Yu was this type of person. He was famous for being lazy, there was no way that he would come to school in person to get customers. However, apart from this, Mr.Hu could not think of any other reason why he was here.

Sure enough, the young man smiled shyly and took out something looked like an employee’s ID from his bag. Mr. Hu took a look at it. It read “Little Paradise Amusement Park Trial Opening Vistors” and there were also empty sections for photo and name.

“Trial Opening? Are you not going to officially open it? The summer vacation is coming soon. If you miss it you will have to wait for another year.”

Mr. Hu was somewhat confused about it. Other people would often rush to make money, but the young man in front of him didn’t seem anything like them. The summer season was coming, it should be the hot season for the amusement park to open. But why a trial opening? Was he not worried that he was going to lose all the investment at all? Although it was understandable to give out visitor cards, since many children in the school knew this young man, and the young man also liked the children in the school.

“Sharpening your axe will not delay your job of chopping wood. So I am waiting for the right time to open the amusement park. There are six years in Luhua primary school, and since the final exam is coming, I am thinking to reward the top ten students of each year the visitor’s cards of the amusement park. All the fees in the park will be also exempted.”

Sixty visitors, plus each visitor could bring one more person with them as well, so he should be able to gather enough feedback.

Mr. Hu was surprised again. This was a big offer. And it was also a great way to encourage students to study harder. He believed that for those cards, the students’ enthusiasm for learning would be much higher.

“Hahaha, Young brother Zhou is really enthusiastic about education. I’ll go and consult with the principal first. Please wait here for a moment.”

This was a good thing, the principle had no reason not to agree. Soon, the teachers of every class were told to tell the children of their classes about this news. As long as they could get to the top ten of their years, they could play in the amusement park free of charge for the whole summer vacation, which was extremely attractive to children.

Of course, the person who got the card must submit an experience diary after every visit to the park, which could also be considered as a kind of payment. Thinking about submitting dozens of experience diaries, those children definitely would have a hard time to complete them.

Little Rat was constantly scratching his head at the moment. ‘Ah!... Brother Yu is so evil. Why does he have to set the requirements so high? It is the top ten of the year! Does he not know that it will be very hard for those who often get average scores in the class, like me? And there are only one and a half months left before the final exam. How am I going to improve my scores in such a short amount of time?”

And there were quite many students, who were thinking exactly the same as little Rat.
