Chapter 278 The crisis of paragliders
Nianqing Tanggula Paragliding Club suddenly became popular.
And it's not an ordinary fire, it's a big fire!
Enmmmm...Did you know the California wildfire on October 10, last year? It's almost the same as that...
It’s strange that since the forage has sprouted, it has been a good day for more than a week. The temperature is suitable during the day and the wind is not strong. It will occasionally rain in the second half of the night.
In short, the current Russian Bacuo is like the south of the Yangtze River in spring.
The wind is low, and the paragliding exercise can be carried out all day, and then Xiao Zhenguo and the others are completely exhausted.
What does it mean to be tired and happy? Just look at the three paraglider pilots in the club now.
Tourists basically set the standard of 880 yuan, with 10 minutes of flying, 880 yuan, and Xiao Zhenguo and others raised 300 yuan.
Although it is ten minutes to fly, it can take more than ten minutes to a tourist.
You have to put away the paraglider when you fly down? After you put away the umbrella, you have to return to the takeoff ground from the landing ground, right?
This is all time.
Because the road has not been opened yet, the flight time of the three pilots is basically staggered from each other, and there is no way to use a car to pull one pilot to and from one trip at a time, right? That's a waste.
So, a smart villager of Nalangniuguo immediately thought of a solution. He joined forces with two other villagers in his village to send three motorcycles specifically to transport Xiao Zhenguo and the other three. After they landed from the landing ground, they put away the umbrellas and then took the villagers' motorcycle to the mountain. It took about half an hour to fly this way.
Xiao Zhenguo and the other three went to the landing ground to pay ten yuan at a time for the villagers riding a motorcycle.
This was not the way Liu Mo'ang thought of, it was spontaneously thought of by the villagers, and Xiao Zhenguo and the others agreed very happily.
Because this field is mainly a double-person gliding flight, the height drop between the takeoff and landing fields is about 250 meters, so the length of the field is not very long, a little over four kilometers, which is considered to be fair in the primary training ground.
But it takes four kilometers to climb the hill. If you hike, it will take at least half an hour. What about taking a motorcycle? Five minutes is enough.
In fact, when Xiao Zhenguo and the other three took tourists to fly on the afternoon of the first day, some villagers from Yubacuo thought of this. However, the villagers of Yubacuo are not enough now, and the paragliding tourism project can last for four months a year, so none of the villagers in Yubacuo are willing to do this.
But the villagers of Obacuo look down on this job does not mean that the villagers of other villages look down on it. Anyway, many of the surrounding natural villages are related to each other, so Liu Mo'ang turned a blind eye.
When the road is opened in the future, the electric bikes that specialize in picking up and dropping off pilots and tourists will be eliminated.
The main thing is a security issue.
However, returning to the takeoff field from the landing ground is not the most time-consuming, and the most time-consuming thing is the retracting and releasing paragliding.
Even though Xiao Zhenguo and the others are old birds and have used umbrella-collar lazy bags, the time consumed is much more than the time spent on the road.
Receiving an umbrella is the most time-consuming, especially the paracord. Once it is messed up, it will take a lot of time to untie it. For these two-person pilots, time is money.
Xiao Zhenguo and others also have a good way of collecting umbrellas, especially when dealing with parachute ropes. They have some skills in collecting umbrellas. For example, when dealing with parachute ropes, they will first gather the parachute ropes, and then use a method like a driver of a carriage to collect the large ropes, and finally put the wings away. But no matter how fast it is, it will take nearly ten minutes to collect and place the umbrellas.
If the tourists have one or another request, they will delay for a while, and at most two flights in an hour.
Three pilots died of suffocation in a day, which means they would take sixty tourists to fly.
But now there are 70 or 80 tourists who sign up every day, and most of them can have more than 100 visitors!
If you cannot meet the needs of tourists, that is the dereliction of duty of the scenic spot!
Liu Mo'ang was not only a little caught off guard by this situation, but also a little distressed.
There are so many tourists who can’t get a queue every day. This is not only money, but the most important thing is that they cannot gain the happiness of these tourists.
Tourists have time to go out for fun, and most tourists will not wait any longer when they can’t report to celebrities…
"Boss, this is not enough. The three of us gritted our teeth and could persist. But there are so many tourists who cannot report their names every day, which has an impact on the reputation of our club!" Even Dong Yongjian, who doesn't usually express his opinions, has brought up this matter, which shows that the matter is really a bit critical.
By the way, business is too busy to get busy and can even turn into a crisis, and there is no one else.
We need to queue up for meals and accommodation at the inn. Starry Sky House now needs to make an appointment in advance. We just started a paragliding tour project. It hasn't been launched for four days, and this situation has happened again.
This is also a wonderful trouble, right?
"Old, what do you think you should do? You used to be a paragliding club, and you have a lot of experience in this area."
Dong Yongjian thought for a while and said, "Boss, don't think I'm raising the price when I say this. I'm talking about it from our current operating conditions."
"Just say it, as long as it is reasonable, I won't refuse."
"Okay, then I'll talk about it." Dong Yongjian also decided to say it. The business here is really too hot. Even his previous club has never encountered such a hot business.
The tourists are rushing to wait for paragliding, where can I make sense?
"Boss, first of all, we have to recruit a few more pilots. Our field is wide enough, even if we recruit five or six pilots, it will be fine."
"Well, this one can be there." Liu Mo'ang nodded, "You are right. Continuing to recruit pilots can solve the problem from the root, but is this two-person pilot so easy to find?"
"This is the boss, you have to raise the price. You can give the pilot 350 a flight once, plus the guaranteed monthly salary. I am responsible for contacting you, and I will definitely bring you people. The commission is not enough, and many people may not be willing to come up. The price of 350 is enough to impress some two-person pilots."
"Okay! This price is OK!" Liu Mo'ang agreed after just pondering for a moment.
Now each tourist charges 880 yuan per flight, which contains a 20 yuan insurance premium, which is paid from the fees paid by the tourists.
This type of insurance is also quite pitiful, because paragliding is a high-risk sports in the domestic insurance industry, like diving, skydiving, hot air balloons, and skiing, so ordinary personal accident insurance companies do not report it.
In other words, even if you are involved in personal accident insurance, if something happens when you are playing a project that is recognized as a high-risk sports by the insurance industry, the insurance company will not pay the claim.
Therefore, tourists need to obtain an insurance type called "Personal Accident Insurance for Tourism Spots and Entertainment Venues" in PICC Property Insurance. This type of insurance is only covered for one day, 20 yuan, and the amount is 300,000 yuan!
In contrast, the coverage for ordinary personal accident insurance is 500,000 yuan, and the coverage is only more than 100 yuan per year.
But there is no way. Since you have done this, insurance for tourists is necessary and mandatory.
However, because the cost of flying once is not low, Liu Mo'ang took the initiative to cover the insurance.
Well, it means that the wool comes from the sheep...
In addition to the 20 yuan insurance premium of this 880 yuan and the commission of the pilot 350 yuan, the company can also lose 510 yuan. Including the depreciation of paragliding and other messy expenses, it is absolutely true that a tourist earns 400 yuan in pure profit.
Now Xiao Zhenguo and the other three have a maximum of 60 tourists a day. If three pilots come, there will be 102 people a day, which is enough to meet the needs of current tourists. The income of sixty tourists is increased every day, and although the commission has increased by fifty, it is not unacceptable.
Not to mention when he was preparing to do this project, Liu Mo'ang was planning to give the pilot a high commission of 400 yuan.
"Secondly, boss, you'd better prepare two sets of umbrellas for our pilots, and have staff who specialize in collecting umbrellas and umbrellas. In this way, we can reduce the time for one flight to within twenty minutes, and fly three times in an hour, and the efficiency can be increased by more than 30%. As for the road from the landing ground to the takeoff ground, it's better to take us by motorcycles for the time being. It's okay for us to pay the money ourselves, which can be regarded as reducing the burden on the club. But the personnel who collect and hold umbrellas must find them, otherwise it will take too much time to just collect and hold umbrellas."
"This is OK. Actually, I was thinking about this the day before yesterday." Liu Mo'ang's words were not nonsense. He really discovered this problem the day before yesterday. A pilot had a set of umbrellas, which was a waste of time when collecting and releasing umbrellas.
And if there are special staff members who collect and store umbrellas and add two sets of umbrellas for one pilot, it can save a lot of time.
Xiao Zhenguo gave an example. He had two sets of umbrellas, and one set of takeoff at the takeoff site. After landing, there was no need to collect the umbrellas. There was a special staff to collect the umbrellas. He could take a motorcycle to return to the takeoff site directly. After arriving at the takeoff site, the second set of umbrellas had been released, so he could take the tourists directly. The first set of umbrellas would also be taken to the takeoff site by the staff riding a motorcycle. As long as the rotation was rotated, it would not waste time.
The only thing that may delay time is communication with tourists.
But this cannot be avoided. After all, most tourists have problems such as fear of heights, fear, and worry about such problems. This requires the pilot to communicate with the tourists in person before taking off. There is no way to waste time.
But if time can be compressed in other links, more tourists can fly into the sky.
Seeing the three slightly tired pilots' expressions of joy on their faces, Liu Mo'ang smiled and said, "Old Dong, you three will contact the pilot tonight. You must have experience and good skills. It is best not to have any trouble. The treatment will be ordered as you said just now, and you will also raise the price! I will call Coach Li and ask him to send him a few more sets of double umbrellas. As for the staff who collect and place the umbrellas, there is also the problem of round trip between the takeoff and landing ground, you don't have to worry about this. I will arrange people, and you don't have to pay any more. It's too irresponsible to ask you to pay for work for the company."
