This city simulation game can affect reality.

The next morning, Chen Jun personally went to the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau.

His explanation to the public was to continue using the development plan for Yunhai that had not yet been launched.

However, Chen Jun will optimize some of the details according to his own ideas.

Before leaving, Wang Wang had already laid everything out with Lao Zhou, including not only the asset accounts but also some of the connections he had built up over the years.

Although Chen Jun couldn't fully control these connections, Wang Wang personally conveyed a message to everyone before leaving, making it clear that Chen Jun was one of their own.

With this foundation laid, when he makes contact and gets things done, the other party will at least not regard him as a stranger who needs to be wary, and the threshold will be much lower.

Regarding the construction permit, Chen Jun followed Wang Wang's lead and went directly to a section chief in the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau who was nearing retirement.

The position isn't high-ranking, but its seniority is a major advantage.

Contacting the other party doesn't necessarily mean violating any principles or anything like that.

The main point is that with someone who is proficient in the process to guide him, he can avoid many detours and avoid going back and forth due to various mistakes.

Like other similar certificates, construction permits also require a considerable amount of time to be approved.

With the help of the senior section chief, Chen Jun clarified the most standardized application materials possible.

The other party also generously revealed some non-public tips for improving efficiency.

For example, attaching a copy of the cooperation agreement between Hitta and any building energy conservation research institute during the application process will attract the attention of the initial reviewers and result in priority processing.

For example, when printing fire protection regulations, a technical introduction to the "Internet of Things Intelligent Fire Early Warning System" can be added.

This thing isn't very useful in practice, but it's currently encouraged by higher authorities, so it's considered a bonus.

Having clarified all the matters, Chen Jun took his leave.

Next, you just need to prepare the materials and wait for the approval process to proceed step by step.

If nothing unexpected happens, it shouldn't take too long.

Upon returning to Longding Mountain, it was already close to evening, and Chen Jun went directly to the farmhouse.

We are currently in a busy transitional phase, with some businesses having resumed operations, but many places are still undergoing rapid restructuring.

All signs, menus, and guest room amenities bearing the Yunhai logo were removed and gradually replaced with the Xita logo.

"Fortunately, we acted quickly enough, and the churn rate of our loyal customers was much lower than expected."

In the newly rearranged conference room in the main building, Lao Zhou and Chen Jun sat at opposite ends of the sofa.

"What about those chefs who ran away? And what about the support staff? Will they be able to settle down?"

"After the back wages were settled as agreed, many people were still willing to stay and continue working. However, some people felt that it would be a loss of face, or they had other plans in mind, so they took the money and left."

Old Zhou, holding his hookah, took a deep drag: "But overall, the current manpower is more than enough, and I even think we can lay off some of them. After all, our current operating model is intensive, unlike Yunhai's fragmented approach."

Chen Jun nodded, but did not entirely agree with Lao Zhou's words, "As long as there is no obvious overstaffing, we should try not to lay off employees proactively."

"These are extraordinary times, and stability is paramount, especially in terms of public sentiment."

"We need to let these long-term employees know that working for Hita is more secure. Even if there are optimizations, we have to wait until the business is fully streamlined and the new system is truly operational."

Old Zhou nodded, indicating that he had noted it down, then changed the subject: "Young Master Chen, there's something I think we need to be careful about... Wang Wang warned us before that Fang Jinhai might try to retaliate."

"But the handover went very smoothly during this period. The guy took the money and left obediently."

"Although I didn't see him in person, his tone was relatively calm when we talked on the phone... but I still felt uneasy. Based on Wang Wang's understanding of Fang Jinhai, his words probably weren't unfounded."

"That guy doesn't seem like someone who would easily admit defeat."

Chen Jun picked up his teacup and blew away the foam: "We'll deal with whatever comes our way. We'll remain vigilant and take all necessary precautions. The matter is now settled, and we've handled all the formalities cleanly."

Even if he has the intention, he has to consider whether he still has the power to do so.

Chen Jun didn't show much concern on the surface, but he had already taken note of it in his mind.

Sometimes the most troublesome enemies are not those on the front lines, but rather those with unclear intentions who are the most mentally taxing.

You not only have to guess what he will do, but also whether he will actually do it.

If they really decide to give up, it will be like fighting an empty field, a waste of energy.

But I'm afraid that something might happen.

......

That evening, Chen Jun set up a small table for dinner in the guest room of the farmhouse.

From a practical point of view, the land for agritainment is not only large in area, but also has a unique geographical advantage.

Although it is located further into Longding Mountain than the resort, it has the advantage of more direct transportation routes.

A dedicated road branches off from the main road, allowing you to reach your destination directly without having to take the long, winding route you would take to a resort.

Moreover, it is surrounded by native forests on three sides, forming a relatively independent ecological environment, and the air feels fresher.

However, Chen Jun's favorite place is the tourist orchard on the southern slope.

Located in a mountain valley with abundant moisture and a unique climate created by the temperature difference between day and night, the area is almost always shrouded in white fog.

The edge of the orchard is right next to a shallow cliff.

Strolling among the trees gives one a sense of being in a fairyland.

Even without directly acquiring Yunhai, Chen Jun had long coveted this land.

But his initial idea was to cut down all the fruit trees and use the money to build a more efficient project.

But now it seems that the best solution is to develop on the original basis, otherwise the intangible assets hidden in the orchard will be wasted.

After the meal, before it got completely dark, he decided to head straight to the orchard by himself.

"Boss Chen, here for another inspection?"

As he approached the management room next to the entrance, a man who was tidying up farm tools greeted him with a smile.

I met this guy a couple of days ago; he's one of the park guards.

Because the orchard area was quite large, Yunhai specially arranged for four people to form a forest protection team.

The members are all middle-aged people from nearby villages.

"It's not an inspection, just a stroll around," Chen Jun said calmly.

After chatting with the man for a few moments, seeing that he spoke with a simple and honest manner and was extremely familiar with orchard operations, I casually posed a question: "Uncle, I've heard you've been tending this orchard for quite a few years now. In your opinion, what does this orchard lack most right now?"

Chen Jun initially thought the question might be a bit vague, and the other party might not be able to give a clear answer immediately.

But he was wrong. When the gardener heard the question, his eyes lit up, as if he had a lot to say.

"If we're talking about what's most lacking, it's definitely a decent sightseeing boardwalk."

"Look at it now, the road is dirt when guests come in. On sunny days, you get soaked in the rain, and on rainy days, your feet are covered in mud."

"Especially for some well-dressed women, and elderly people with mobility issues, walking is very uncomfortable."

He got more and more excited as he spoke, even gesturing with his hands to indicate the name: "Secondly, there's a lack of activities. Right now, you just look at the trees, pick some fruit when it's in season, and there's really not much else to do."

"..."

The park keeper offered a lot of suggestions in one go.

Although the ideas are rough overall, they are still quite qualified as suggestions.

Chen Jun nodded repeatedly, and more ideas came to his mind.

This orchard is one of Yunhai's most valuable assets, not only for its output but also for its unique scenic beauty.

The future business of agritainment will naturally revolve around this.

Most importantly, Chen Jun genuinely loves this place.

The man's advice was of great help to him.

If any suitable buildings or facilities are added to City Simulator in the future, this area will naturally be prioritized for investment.
