But after becoming a real zoo director, his previous knowledge reserve gradually became insufficient. His thinking on zoo design was still ahead of Blue Planet\'s, mainly pertaining to detailed knowledge about specific animals.

Despite Fang Ye\'s relaxed discussions with netizens during live streams, where he confidently answered all kinds of bizarre questions, eliciting cries of "awesome" from the viewers, he actually spent a lot of effort preparing for each stream in advance. During his spare moments, not spent touring the exhibits, he would be studying up, recharging his knowledge base.

It was at that moment that Mi Jin made a phone call.

"Journalist Mi, what made you think of calling me?"

With a hint of mystery, Mi Jin said, "I have some good news to tell you."

Fang Ye was curious, "What good news?"

"Mayor Bai now knows about Linhai Zoo! He even praised it and mentioned planning a visit. Your zoo is on an upward trajectory!"

Fang Ye was immediately surprised, "Really?"

If Mayor Bai were to visit, it would signify that Linhai Zoo was garnering attention and would greatly benefit its future development.

The zoo\'s 30,000 square meters couldn\'t all be exhibit space; you had to account for plazas, roads, lawns, rest areas, and office spaces as well. So, the actual area available for exhibits was only around 20,000 square meters.

Based on the original size of each enclosure being just a few dozen square meters, you could exhibit several dozen to a hundred species of animals. Of course, such small enclosures were really just for watching the animals, with a very poor environment.

Now, with environmental improvements, the tiger exhibit, wolf exhibit, and the envisioned tropical bird exhibit, each taking up 3,000 square meters, these few together would comprise 10,000 square meters. A few more exhibits and the zoo would run out of space.

Therefore, Fang Ye planned, once visitor numbers increased and revenue began flowing, to approach banks for a loan, and to communicate with departments like the Forestry Bureau to apply for leasing the surrounding land.

If the mayor were to visit, and offer some praise and encouragement, perhaps mentioning how Linhai Zoo enriched the lives of the citizens, it would undoubtedly smooth the loan process and land application!

The benefits weren\'t just limited to land acquisition; it would also make purchasing animals from other zoos more convenient. It wasn\'t just about money when transferring animals between zoos, qualifications mattered too! Otherwise, what if the animal died right after the sale?

Fang Ye inquired further, "Do you know when the mayor plans to visit?"

Uncertain, Mi Jin responded, "Right now, the mayor is in Japan for a technology exposition, so it\'s unclear when he will return, probably in a while. Being an insider, I got wind of it early and thought I\'d give you a heads-up. Surely, someone will notify you when it\'s time."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Ye began to daydream.

Linhai Zoo, located in a remote suburb of a third-tier city and serving a public service, meant that the land was still very cheap. As long as they qualified, they could lease 10,000 square meters of land for tens of years with just a few hundred thousand yuan.

If he could secure a loan of tens or hundreds of millions, he even thought about directly leasing a land plot of one million square meters.

If he could entirely build the zoo there, it would be incredibly exhilarating.

If it were for building residential properties, the application would definitely not pass. There\'s a world of difference between land for residential use versus public service in terms of approval difficulty and leasing cost; it\'s practically impossible to get such an allocation. Especially the areas near forests or mountainsides, which are suitable only for a zoo or a natural scenic area.

The region where Linhai Zoo is located is called Guanhu District, and true to its name, it has quite a few lakes. However, there are very few large lakes, and the smaller ones cover just a few thousand square meters. Strictly speaking, only those areas measuring 1 square kilometer, or 1,000,000 square meters, really qualify as lakes.

But since calling them ponds doesn\'t sound pleasant, let\'s stick with lakes.

Behind the zoo lie several lakes, and if these could be utilized to create a wetland exhibit area, it would be fantastic.

Having a larger area is primarily important for providing animals with more extensive and diverse living spaces.

After letting his thoughts wander for half the day, Fang Ye came back to his senses and chuckled wryly to himself. His zoo had less than ten species of animals, yet here he was, already dreaming about how to construct a million-square-foot park. His ambitions were surely getting ahead of him.

At this moment, a strange phone call came through.

"Hello, may I speak with Zoo Director Fang Ye of Linhai Zoo?" The voice on the opposite end pronounced each word clearly and spoke at a comfortable pace, full of a serious, official tone.

"Yes, speaking."

Fang Ye had a hunch. This must be the notification Mi Jin had mentioned, right?

"This is from the city administrative office. I\'d like to inform you that on August 18 at 9 am, Mayor Bai and the leaders of the Forestry Bureau will visit your zoo. Please prepare for their reception…" The person on the other end completed the notification and confirmed the details with him again.

August 18th, which is next Wednesday?

After hanging up the phone, the system prompt appeared!

"Ding, a new task has been released!" Discover hidden stories at m,v l\'e-NovelBin

[Task: Hosting the Mayor

Description: A visit from the mayor is both an opportunity and a challenge. Show off the charm of the zoo to the fullest!

Reward: The task reward will depend on the mayor\'s impression of the zoo. The higher the rating, the better the reward!]

Fang Ye was instantly excited!

Could this be another chance to win a precious animal in a lottery?

However, the mayor\'s standards were presumably quite high. With the current state of the zoo, it wasn\'t certain to receive the highest rating.

The tiger exhibit, wolf exhibit, and macaque monkey mountain were all standard for a public zoo, nothing special; the red fox exhibit and the Peafowl Lawn had their highlights, but they were just okay; the red panda exhibit was truly wonderful, but with only that one exhibit, it was far too meager.

He thought about it for a while. The tiger exhibit seemed to be nearly complete. Would it be finished before the mayor\'s visit?

Fang Ye opened the sandbox and looked towards the tiger exhibit, then projected his consciousness into it.

In the tiger exhibit\'s outdoor area, the lake had been dug out into shape since the last time he checked. Now the pipes had been laid and filled with water, which rippled gently across the surface. Various green plants had been mostly planted, with lush grass and towering trees, only some bushes and aquatic plants were left to be placed.

The perches hadn\'t been set up yet; those were definitely something to add at the end.

As for the perimeter wall, the glass curtain walls and railings for the visitor viewing area had been installed. Most of the construction was complete, and with the system construction team\'s speed, finishing within a week would be absolutely no problem.

While the exhibit was being built, the educational display boards also needed to be prepared in advance. Actually, all of the animals already had display boards, but for those with exhibits, the boards had to be more detailed and in-depth, not just simple introductions.

Fang Ye carefully considered other areas for improvement. Last time, the little girl had a suggestion: it would be best if the zoo had a restaurant, otherwise it was inconvenient for visitors to find food.

This was a point for enhancement. The zoo did have a restaurant, but as the number of visitors dwindled, it had shut down.

He had already advertised for someone to take over the zoo restaurant\'s contract, but no one had contacted him, mainly because they worried there weren\'t enough visitors to make money. This problem was simple enough: once the visitor count increased, it would naturally resolve itself.

After much thought, the biggest improvement to raise the rating was still the tiger exhibit! There wasn\'t much else that could be optimized at short notice, at best they could just clean up the trash and wash down the paths to make them appear tidy.
