Tycoon: I can see the goddess's wish list
Chapter 904 - 900: Expanding Operations—A Sweeping Investment of 10 Million!
Huang Ping immediately greeted politely, "Hello, Mr. Luo, I'm Huang Ping, a doctor here, very pleased to meet you!"
Li Qiang politely said, "Hello Boss Luo, welcome to inspect our work. I'm Li Qiang, thank you, Boss Luo, for caring about the small animals. I also love them very much!"
Luofeng smiled and said, "Both doctors have worked hard, and I also appreciate you choosing our foundation!"
The work at the shelter is actually very tiring.
After all, there are so many small animals, managed by just about 10 people.
Feeding, drinking, defecating, vaccinations, quarantine observations, sterilizations, etc., all need them to be completed!
This workload far exceeds that of ordinary pet hospitals!
But there are advantages too.
In such an environment, more work experience can be accumulated!
Currently, the shelter is indeed very simple, but everything is running smoothly, including the new cats and dogs coming in.
Luofeng casually asked, "Student Bai Lu, is there anything else lacking here at the moment?"
Bai Lu said, "Mainly two things, first is the infrastructure, we're handling that, Manager Gu Yongjie has given significant support and found relevant talents, but there's a shortage of funds!"
Bai Lu said, "According to the capability of White Wing Supermarket, it can't support both the foundation and the subsidy plan you've started recently!"
"But don't worry, we will try to reduce operational costs as much as possible!" Bai Lu finally said.
Luofeng shook his head, "Although I advocate saving, if we're doing charity work, we shouldn't lower operational costs, otherwise, just don't do it or do it in a smaller scale! Since we're doing it, then don't be stingy with money!"
Actually, it's like this.
If you only have the ability to care for ten stray dogs.
Then just care for 10 dogs.
Why care for 100 dogs, and let 100 dogs live poorly?
So, Luofeng will definitely not reduce operational costs because of large numbers, making staff and stray animals suffer!
Firstly, Luofeng is not short on money, and secondly, Luofeng is willing to do it.
"I will give White Wing a million, then invest through White Wing to the foundation, whether it's infrastructure or operational costs, it can be perfectly solved, right?" Luofeng said.
Bai Lu was startled.
That's a million!
"No need for that much. I've calculated it, only need about a hundred thousand!" Bai Lu said softly.
"Then keep it in the account as future operational funds!" Luofeng said.
"Oh!" Bai Lu responded, feeling once again a sense of loss, she felt a distance from Luofeng, one completely untouchable.
Like the separation of a galaxy.
"Just mentioned one issue, what about the other issue?" Luofeng actively asked.
"Also, it's the issue with staff. We need to expand, we need more people, then we can care for more small animals!" Bai Lu said.
"No problem, just expand!" Luofeng said.
"By the way, Student Luo Feng, if there's a budget, I hope to improve the shelter's fence!" Bai Lu said, "The original wire mesh, although successfully blocking small animals from escaping, has poor sound insulation effects! Although the place we chose is indeed far from residents, some can still hear the barking here at night!"
Luofeng spoke, "Then remodel the surrounding wire mesh, use soundproof fences!"
Luofeng said, "These decisions are up to you, if you think it's okay, it is okay, I trust you! Because you're the operator of the foundation, you understand the situation better than I do!"
Professional matters should be left to professional people.
Why let outsiders guide?
This is inherently a mistake.
The Shangguan Sisters began taking photos.
The photos they take will naturally not go to waste, later they will select stunning photos, put them on the official website, and then publish them.
And accept donations.
However, the foundation only wants supplies, not cash.
Thus avoiding official audit difficulties.
Like accepting cat food, public display of affection, cat litter, etc.
Anyway, the cash will eventually be used to buy these things, why not just ask for supplies?
"By the way, Student Bai Lu, I have an idea!" Luofeng spoke.
"Ah?" Bai Lu looked at Luofeng in confusion.
Luofeng now at the shelter's free-range area, where over sixty stray cats are kept.
They have been vaccinated and neutered.
Also dewormed.
And are recovering.
In the free-range area, there is a centralized cat litter management area, using river sand.
The price of river sand is cheap, only about a hundred and fifty per cubic, this price is far below real cat litter.
Thus reducing operational costs.
Why not use true cat litter?
Wouldn't cats using river sand be bad?
Sorry, twenty years ago, so many raising cats, was there cat litter?
Twenty years not enough, then two hundred years ago, those wild cats? Was there cat litter?
Cat litter is just something humans came up with in city areas to better manage pet hygiene, not a necessity for cats.
Actually in the past, most cat litter was coal-fired ash, not as fine as river sand.
"By the way, we're very close to the nearby Xipu Children's Welfare Institute, right?" Luofeng said.
Bai Lu nodded, "Yes, very close, just a few kilometers away!"
"Some of our foundation's work, children should be able to do, right?" Luofeng asked.
For example, cleaning cat litter?
Cleaning cat feces from the cat litter, facilitating recovery.
Bai Lu nodded, "Indeed, there are many tasks that children can do!"
Bai Lu thought of something and asked, "Student Luo Feng, are you considering some children to help us?"
"Yes!" Luofeng nodded.
"We've been to the welfare institute before, actually many healthy children, they also hope they can do something for society! If they come to help us, we can offer them simple rewards!" Luofeng said.
"This way, both costs are reduced and the Xipu Children's Welfare Institute's financial pressure is reduced, it's a win-win situation!" Luofeng said.
Bai Lu considered it for a while and said, "But we might face some public opinion issues, like child labor?"
"Don't pay attention to those keyboard warriors!" Luofeng smiled lightly.
In name, it's a joint activity.
Child labor, how can it exist?
For example, letting school people voluntarily sweep the streets, then the officials just issue some notebook rewards?
Perfectly avoidable, right!
"Then we'll go to the Children's Welfare Institute in the afternoon and discuss with them!" Bai Lu said.
