Super Zoo-Chapter 385 - 381 The Little Plane Has Arrived!

According to the other party’s information, webpage traffic increased by 0.45%, and there was a modest increase in ticket sales. These two pieces of data may seem unimpressive at first glance, giving the impression that they were indeed ’very small’.

However, in reality, Xiangjiang Ocean Park, whether in terms of webpage traffic or ticket revenue, had such an enormous base that it was terrifying. It was on a completely different level from Yangchuan City Zoo, or even Capital Zoo.

On such a vast base, even a tiny increase was extremely difficult, especially for webpage traffic.

Ocean Park ultimately concluded that the increase in visitors was due to Suming’s battle with the hostage-takers at Ocean Park, and the growth in traffic was because of Yangchuan City Zoo’s online streaming platform.

Of course, the latter could also contribute to visitor growth, but the vast majority of the streaming platform’s viewers were mainlanders who were merely following Ocean Park online. Turning this attention into travel-related ticket revenue would still require time to build up.

Suming logged into the streaming platform, opened the data statistics from the backend, and Panda Yingying’s live broadcast was consistently ranked in the top ten among all rooms.

No wonder, the live broadcast brought popularity not only to Panda Yingying but also to its host, Ocean Park. It’s no surprise that Ocean Park hoped the panda could stay in the zoo for a while longer. This was essentially free advertising, and the effect was quite impressive.

These capitalists in Xiangjiang go by the book too much. They calculated every cent of the rental fee at the beginning, but there’s no denying they still honored the spirit of the contract. They proposed a plan to compensate the zoo for extending the rental period: not only waiving the rental fee but also providing a monthly sum for the zoo’s animal upkeep.

Suming gladly accepted their offer, chuckling to himself at how meticulously these people crunched their numbers.

Mutually beneficial collaboration. Suming had been considering how to persuade them to agree to an extension, but the issue was resolved so easily.

Speaking of which, Xiangjiang Ocean Park may be rigid in approach, but they displayed a true sense of professionalism. They even had a dedicated data analysis department that could not only detect minor fluctuations in website traffic but also analyze the causes and adjust operational strategies accordingly.

No wonder their enterprises grew so strong. Modern management isn’t just about spending money on high-end computers or redesigning the office to look like a spaceship. It’s a philosophy of management, not a superficial show of modernity.

In comparison, zoos on the mainland fell short by a considerable margin. Take Yangchuan City Zoo for instance: the only data monitoring capability they currently had was their streaming platform, and that was limited to simply monitoring data, without any analysis.

Times change rapidly, and we are now in the era of big data. Merely utilizing modern networking equipment is far from enough.

"Hey, Shen," Suming thought for a moment, then dialed Shen Yan, the head of the streaming platform, to discuss his ideas.

Shen Yan, being a professional, immediately understood Suming’s point after hearing him out.

"Su, I would’ve never expected a biologist like yourself to come up with this. Indeed, forward-thinking!" Shen Yan praised over the phone before getting to the heart of the matter, "Data mining and analysis is definitely the trend. While the technology itself isn’t difficult, the challenge lies in getting technical personnel who are well-versed in the knowledge of the industry from which the data is provided, involving interdisciplinary research. Moreover, even though this work greatly aids business operation, it’s time-consuming and labor-intensive. Unlike production or business activities, where you can see immediate tangible benefits, many large companies are reluctant to undertake it."

"Don’t worry, Shen, I’ve got it all figured out. You go ahead with it freely, and for the industry knowledge that’s needed, I will have zoo staff work alongside the technical personnel," Suming said.

Although he didn’t understand the specifics of technology, the practices of Ocean Park inspired Suming greatly. How does a business know if they are doing well, what their strengths and weaknesses are, what needs to be adjusted, and how to adjust it?

These things couldn’t just depend on leaders making wild guesses; there had to be solid evidence for support. And the analysis and mining of various business data were the most direct guiding lights, providing effective evidence for enterprise operations and decision-making, thus helping businesses avoid taking detours.

Ocean Park was the best example. Maybe there didn’t seem to be any benefit in the short term, but in the long run, it was necessary to start working on this area ahead of time, even to the extent of establishing a specialized department eventually. At the end of the day, it not only reduced the workload of the leaders but also ensured the effectiveness of the work.

While he was thinking about this, he suddenly felt something was amiss.

The office was unexpectedly quiet!

That’s not right. How could it be so quiet in the office when Panda Yingying was notoriously mischievous?

He looked up and Panda Yingying was gone!

Suming got a shock. The doors and windows were closed, so where could Yingying have run off to?

His gaze swept across the office, and upon closer inspection, Suming almost laughed. Yingying was lying on the couch in the office... The couch had a cover, which of course reflected the unique style of the zoo with a new one put on every week, printed with various animals. This week’s couch cover had a black and white panda pattern, no wonder he didn’t see Yingying at first glance. The little guy lying on the couch was basically camouflaged...

Yingying wasn’t just lying on the couch; she also had an unlit cigarette in her mouth, staring at Suming behind the desk with a look of indescribable loneliness.

"What a thing to learn, learning to smoke from people?!" Suming quickly extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray, went over, and snatched the unlit cigarette from Yingying’s mouth, confiscating it along with the half pack of cigarettes on the coffee table in front of the couch.

Yingying was immediately upset, bleating and wriggling on the couch back and forth.

"Rolling won’t help!" Suming glared and thought to himself, suppose a panda learned to smoke and got hooked on nicotine, what if it ended up dying of lung cancer? Wouldn’t I become a national sinner?

The couch was only forty to fifty centimeters wide, and Yingying rolled too zealously. She moved too much and, with a tilt of her body, thumped off the couch. She didn’t seem to feel pain and continued to roll around on the thick carpet, bleating while rolling, just like a child who wants candy but is refused by an adult, throwing a tantrum.

"You are even spoiled now!" Suming wasn’t in a hurry. He poured himself a cup of tea and casually crossed his legs, leisurely saying, "Keep rolling, get up when you’ve had enough."

Seeing that Suming was not swayed by her antics, Yingying had no choice but to climb up with a dissatisfied "woo..." sound and unhappily sit down with her head down against the wall.

"Don’t sit there like a fool. You are already fat; sitting still all day, you’ll turn into a pig. Come, walk with me." After dealing with the official business, Suming pinched Yingying’s round ears and prepared to take her out.

They had just left the office when a loud ’buzzing’ noise came from above; amid the roar of the engine, a bright yellow Hummingbird 206 helicopter appeared in the sky above the office building. The propeller caused a strong airflow, blowing scraps of paper all over the place on the ground, and slowly descended outside the office building.

Zhao Yun popped his head out from the co-pilot seat and shouted towards Suming. The noise from the helicopter was so loud that not a single word could be heard clearly.

Fortunately, Suming didn’t need to hear him to guess what was happening: The helicopter had arrived!
