Baodu Mountain is a mountain that is not too high, but the mountain road is very dangerous. However, there is a large piece of flat land halfway up the mountain. In ancient times, bandits also built a village here called Baodu Village.
The current villa was also built on the foundation of the original stockade, and a wall like the Great Wall was built on the edge of the steep cliff above to surround it.
As a tourist attraction, there is really nothing worth visiting in Bao Du Mountain. After all, the scenery is average and the government is not willing to spend money to improve the facilities and experience.
However, as a mountain resort where you can relax and escape from the summer heat, Baodu Mountain not only has excellent privacy, but also has a flat location halfway up the mountain, making it easy to build a mountain resort and various entertainment facilities.
There are two ways to go up to the villa. One is of course a direct climb up the mountain. It takes about more than an hour to go up the stone steps one by one. With the ups and downs of the mountains, the slopes in many places are close to 70 to 60 degrees.
Due to an agreement with the government, this road actually allows nearby residents to come here for exercise, but if something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with the villa.
The other way is the cable car, which takes people directly to the villa. In order to avoid attracting attention, the gate of the villa is never open, so I know that some nearby residents now think that the mountainside of Bao Tuc Mountain has been completely closed due to poor management of the scenic spot.
Chen Jian led Fang Ze and Lin Xiaoxin to the front of the cable car and motioned for Fang Ze and Lin Xiaoxin to enter.
This is a huge cable car that can seat at least twenty people at a time. It has some exquisite seats, but these seats are all movable. At night, the seats can be removed and the goods can be moved.
Fang Ze took Lin Xiaoxin into the cable car, and the little white tiger also jumped onto a long sofa-like seat.
Chen Jian handed a cigarette to the person in charge of the cable car, chatted briefly, and then came in.
"By the way, what's the origin of those two people last time." Fang Ze watched Chen Jian sit down and asked about the identities of Lin Yue and Chen Sheng whom he met at the sports car party last time.
"Those two." Chen Jian briefly introduced the identities of Lin Yue and Chen Sheng, and then complained, "Zihao's reaction was a bit excessive. There is no way to stop the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium from coming in. What if it really happens?" If you mess up the relationship, it will be a lose-lose outcome."
When Fang Ze heard Chen Jian introduce Lin Yue's identity, he knew that Chen Jian actually welcomed the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium behind Lin Yue to come to Haiping. After all, although Chen Jian was not in politics, many of his family members were local officials in Haiping.
These officials are too eager to introduce new economic vitality to boil up the stagnant water in Haiping since the establishment of the new district failed.
But business and politics have different aspects to consider. If the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium not only brings new economic vitality, but also erodes the inherent territory of the local wealthy people in Haiping, for the local wealthy people in Haiping, it will be equivalent to having their hometown stolen, which is absolutely intolerable.
However, there is no right or wrong in any of these twists and turns, so you don’t have to think about it, your head will hurt if you think about it too much.
The cable car came directly to the interior of the villa. Fang Ze and others got out of the cable car. Several scooters were heard outside the cable car room. Three people and one tiger got on the scooters. Chen Jian drove the scooter directly towards the villa.
Along the way, Fang Ze took a look at the surrounding scenery. It was pretty good, with green trees, but there were very few staff.
"Why are there so few people here?"
"Oh, these months are the off-season. In order to reduce expenses, there are few staff, and many of them have been transferred elsewhere. Summer is in mid-summer every year in June, July and August. There are many people coming to escape the summer heat, so employees will be transferred in. But at that time, the elders used it more, so we couldn’t just bring people over.”
"It only takes three months a year." Lin Xiaoxin said, looking at such a large area and the huge concave-shaped villa in the distance, "Isn't it a bit too wasteful?"
"That's not true. It is usually rented out to some businesses for activities or parties. At the end of the year, the annual meeting is also held here. In winter, there are many family gatherings here. However, the elders generally don't come because they dislike the cold. Many of them are Young people are having fun. Running such a large villa will definitely result in losses, but if you don’t lose too much in a year, it’s worth it.”
Chen Jian drove his scooter to the bottom of the villa, and several younger service staff came over. One was responsible for driving the scooter back, and the other led Fang Ze and others inside.
The huge villa looked a bit deserted, but that was what Fang Ze and Lin Xiaoxin wanted. It would be boring if there were so many people like the tourist attractions.
A woman in professional attire who looked like the lobby manager came over. After saying hello to Fang Ze and others, she led Fang Ze upstairs and asked Fang Ze and Lin Xiaoxin if they had any taboos.
"This is Sister Mei." Chen Jian introduced Fang Ze.
"Just call me Xiaomei. There's no such thing as a sister." Sister Mei looked to be only twenty-seven or eighty years old, but she was mature and capable.
"Sister Mei, you want to take advantage of me. I'm only twenty-five years old, so I'll call you Xiaomei. You are younger than me emotionally." Chen Jian joked happily.
Sister Mei rolled her eyes at Chen Jian, then turned her head to Fang Ze. Because the half-grown tiger cubs are really charming. In addition, ordinary people may have seen adult tigers, but they have never seen half-grown white tigers. Therefore, Sister Mei did not figure out for a while whether this was a pet groomed. The teacher transformed the dog into a tiger shape or some other animal.
However, out of professional habit, she still asked, "Mr. Fang, is this a dog or something? Do you need dog food? We just brought in a batch of high-end dog food imported from the United States yesterday."
"There's no need for dog food. Just find someone to bring ten pounds of raw beef."
"Ah?" Sister Mei was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Fang Ze meant. Of course dogs will eat raw beef, but due to long-term human feeding, dogs have become omnivores and generally cannot digest large amounts of raw beef, which is not good for the gastrointestinal tract and can also cause nutritional imbalance.
Fang Ze opened his mouth with ten pounds of raw beef, which was a bit bluffing.
"Didn't you say this is a cat?" Chen Jian asked, looking at the little white tiger.
"Cats also eat meat. Who says cats don't eat meat?" Fang Ze said with a wink.
"You bitch, just bluff me, your cat eats raw beef."
"It's said that it's a tiger cat. It's definitely different from ordinary cats."
"Haha." Seeing Fang Ze's nonsense, Chen Jian expressed his disdain with the word "haha."
"Then believe it or not, I said this is a tiger, or a Siberian tiger." Fang Ze saw Chen Jian even saying hehe, and in order to maintain his friendship with this friend he had known for a short time, he told the truth.
"You might as well say tiger cat." Chen Jian looked at the little white tiger and said, "The Siberian tiger is a national special protected animal, and it is also a rare white tiger. If you came from the Middle East, I would not believe it."
