[Wait a minute, did I hear correctly. According to this administrator, this farm is now 68 million in debt?]

[So our Momo did not become a rich second generation, but became the ‘negative’ second generation?!]

[From the moment Momo and Momo’s dad entered this farm, I had a vague feeling that it was a bit of a scam, but I didn’t expect it to be of such magnitude!]

[The gate of this farm was almost falling down, and it looks miserable inside. It looks like it has not been open for a long time and is about to close down. ]

[Ugh, I was too naive. I should have thought of it when I saw the ‘plus or minus 6 million’ on the program card.]

[ Me too… For a while, I thought Momo and Lin Cheng were finally lucky, but I never expected that they would still be in trouble.]

[Facts have proved that those with dark intentions will only get darker, and there would be no end to their darkness.]

[No wonder the previous program card did not require Lin Cheng and Momo to show how much money they can earn this week, but only asked them to maintain the farm operation.]

[How could they still have the nerve to ask Lin Cheng’s team to make money after they screwed them over so badly? ]

[That’s it…]

Everyone complained.

After complaining, everyone began to worry about Lin Cheng’s management aptitude again.

[This farm looks like it is going to close down permanently, how can it still be run? ]

[Yes, if there are no customers and no business, how can you make money? ]

[What I’m most worried about now is not making money, but whether this farm can last through the week…]

[So what are Lin Cheng and little Momo going to do? ]

Just as everyone in the livestream channel was talking about it, Lin Cheng also raised his eyes and looked at Xu Yi.

Meeting Lin Cheng’s gaze, Xu Yi lowered his head and silently wiped away the cold sweat on his brow.

You really couldn’t blame this on him!

According to Old Master Lin’s instructions, a company affiliated to the Lin family not only purchased a modern farm at this time, but also acquired an amusement park, an aquarium, a children’s themed shopping mall, and a snack manufacturing factory.

The acquisitions were all done in a rush. If the farm was in good operating condition, how could it be sold to them so easily? Therefore, they could only choose among farms in the suburbs that were not well managed and whose owners were eager to transfer ownership.

Originally, the company had planned to hire a management team with a high salary, and then invest a large amount of money to bring the farm back to life. Even if it couldn’t be brought back to life in a short time, it was enough to find a way to attract some guests with free promotions to make the place at least look lively.

Who would have thought that Lin Cheng and Lin Momo’s luck would be so accurate? They didn’t get the amusement park or the aquarium, but drew this farm on the first try….

Right now, the management team was still being assembled, and the funds they planned to infuse into the business were halted because of the recording of the show.

Seeing the embarrassed look Xu Yi had on his face and looking at Lin Momo who obviously didn’t understand much of what was said and was therefore looking rather nervous, Lin Cheng lowered his eyes and chuckled. He deliberately relaxed his tone and said, “Bought for 98 million—something that is worth 110 million. There was no loss at all.”

Hearing Lin Cheng’s relaxed tone, Xu Yi also breathed a sigh of relief.

But… he was not comforted. From an investment perspective, this acquisition was not a good deal.

Lin Cheng looked through the information in front of him again and asked, “Which parts of the farm are still in operation? And what is the status of those parts that are not operating?”

“The amusement park sections and the zoo have been undergoing basic maintenance, so re-opening them to the public would not be a big problem.

“As for the current situation of the farm’s fish ponds, farmland, and orchard areas, it would be necessary to recruit more agricultural workers to gradually resume full operations. But even after these areas have become operational, channels still need to be established for the sale or disposal of these crops and by-products. Right now, that is a problem.”

After a two-second pause, Xu Yi continued, “Currently, only the resort hotel is still officially in operation, but the business situation is not very optimistic.”

“How bad is it?” Lin Cheng asked with a raised eyebrow.

“In the past year—and for the next six months—the total reservations made were exactly zero,” Xu Yi said with a slight cough.

“Currently, the cost of one night in the hotel resort has already been discounted by 30% from the original price, but it’s still not enough to tempt people to make reservations.”

“What was the original price?” Lin Cheng asked.

“The original price was 198 to 298 yuan per night for a garden-style room. Taking into account the inconvenient location and transportation costs, the villa price was priced relatively low for the actual amenities it provides. It ranges from 528 to 828 yuan,” Xu Yi replied.

The entire resort has 5 double-story villas, 10 single-story villas, and 6 three-story hotel buildings, for a total of 195 rooms. The price of the most expensive double-storey courtyard-style villa has been reduced to 248 yuan per night by the previous boss, and there was still no one interested.

Hearing this, Lin Cheng thought for a moment before speaking, “The basic guest rooms will resume their original pricing starting tomorrow. The pricing for the villas will be adjusted—submit the changes to the online platform. It should be raised to about 1,000 to 1,200 yuan. Base it on what a similar type of accommodation would normally charge.”

Hearing Lin Cheng’s words, Xu Yi was taken aback and re-confirmed the instructions with a puzzled look on his face, “Did you say you wanted to raise the price?” Instead of lowering it further?

T/N: I’m not sure how the original business plan thought it could run 195 luxury resort rooms and villas with only 126 staff—much less run the resort and the farm and amusement park with that few people. Perhaps since it’s a ‘farm’ the guests would not expect hotel-type of service.
