Chapter 242 Waiwai? 110?
Donations can be deducted from the taxable income equivalent to the amount donated, not directly from the tax owed, with a maximum deduction of 30% of the taxable income.
It sounds a little complicated and calculation can be a hassle; in any case, it doesn't save much—the money spent on donations is definitely more than the tax, so don't think of it as a way to avoid taxes; it's more of an encouragement for individuals to support public welfare.
If visitors know about this policy, they will surely be more motivated to donate.
Moreover, there should be clear prompts in the donation interface, urging people to donate within their means, preventing good intentions from becoming a burden.
Beyond the donation process, to prepare for busy holidays in the future, an online reservation feature should be introduced. This way, by controlling the number of visitors through reservations, the venue won't get overcrowded and impede the visiting experience.
There is no shortage of software companies in Linhai Science and Technology Park, just find one to get it done.
Speaking of educational conservation in the exhibits, the ring-tailed lemur exhibit content was disliked by visitors, while the tiger exhibit was loved, and the staff generally believe that it's because of the fun combined with education!
Hence, Fang Ye plans to replace the poaching signboards like those in the red panda exhibit and the ring-tailed lemur's soup signboards, change the images, cut some content, and add some alternative facilities that are easier to accept, similar to the Tiger Paw arcade machine.
For instance, turn the content about poaching red pandas into a signboard with a vividly colored red panda scarf, and ask next to it, "Would you like to see it become a scarf?"
Although it does not describe the cruelty of poaching in detail, it can still evoke emotional responses in visitors without causing discomfort from seeing images of poachers carrying dead red pandas.
Also, add some entertainment facilities related to animals, like for the ring-tailed lemurs that like to sunbathe and meditate in the morning, we can place some mats opposite the beach, letting visitors sit down and raise their hands toward the sun, or have a staring contest with ring-tailed lemurs like Big Eye.
For example, outside the red panda exhibit, set up a life-sized cutout of a red panda raising its arm in protest, with a spot for a person's face in the head area so that when people stand behind it, they can pretend to be a cute red panda for a photo opportunity.
It might not attract adults, but kids should really enjoy playing this way!
Regarding the zoo's merchandise development, Fang Ye is also in communication with Zhao Chan, and the preparation for the grand opening of the new exhibits is underway with much fanfare.

"Good afternoon, sir, your milk tea is ready. Would you like it to go, or will you be drinking it here?"
The man, looking at his phone, didn't look up and said, "To go."
"Alright, please enjoy, and welcome back anytime!"
For the tea shop employee Fang, it was another ordinary afternoon.
After seeing off a customer, she stood at the counter, idly looking at a romance novel on her phone.
She was fantasizing about herself traveling back in time along with the heroine, engaging in a battle of wits with other ladies of the court, climbing to the pinnacle and emerging as the victor, when she noticed a shadow appear at the bottom of the shop door.
Thinking it was a customer or a delivery guy stepping in, she subconsciously shut off her phone screen and lifted her head, ready to greet them.
She suddenly realized that the figure wasn't human, but a fat black dog?
"Ah!"
Fang gave a start, reflexively lifting her hands to her chest, stepping back two paces behind the counter.
The milk tea shop had a narrow U-shaped layout!
One side was for making milk tea, and the other had small tables and chairs for customers to sit and rest, separated by the counter.
After entering the shop, Big Black dashed through the customer seating area, shoving tables and knocking over chairs haphazardly, producing a loud "clang clang" noise.
Seeing Big Black about to round the counter and charge her way, Fang realized the situation was dire and quickly climbed onto a stool, braced herself on the counter, and with an awkward yet swift movement, vaulted over it.
"Big Black" turned a corner and, seeing someone, immediately panicked. Its slender tail swinging, its short legs moving rapidly, it accelerated towards the counter. Then, with a leap, it jumped onto the table. With a powerful push of its hind legs, it knocked the cash register screen onto the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it had disappeared outside the door!
Farng's eyes were wide open, her chest heaving; she was still in a daze, not having recovered, as she stared blankly outside. What in the world was that black shadow that just flew by? It almost scared her to death!
A husky? A pig?
Turning around and seeing the mess in the shop, she quickly ran to the counter to grab her cellphone and dialed the emergency number, her eyes still nervously watching the doorway: "Hello? Is this 110?"
"Hello, this is Linhai City 110 Command Center. How can I assist you?"
Farng said somewhat incoherently, "I was just waiting for customers, and then I don't know what it was, something suddenly ran in and then flew out!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Please calm down, what happened?"
Hearing the calm and soothing voice of the operator, Farng also calmed down a bit, patting her chest with lingering fear, "Phew, that scared me to death just now. It seemed like a big black dog or a pig barged into our milk tea shop, making a huge mess. I hadn't even recovered when it ran off again.
Luckily I dodged quickly, or else I would have been hit by it. It looked so fierce.
Oh, my shop is on Qingshan Avenue..."
"Alright, we have received your situation..."
It wasn't just Farng who called; the 110 Command Center subsequently received a flurry of emergency calls, some claiming they were nearly hit by a pig, others said a pig had barged into their shops, and even reports of a wild boar!
"Dee-woo~ Dee-woo~"
Police from the nearby station quickly drove off in their patrol cars to catch the wild boar.

The continual chirping of insects and birds filled the outside air as Fang Ye sat at his desk, engrossed in a thick book on snake species.
His cellphone rang with a rousing tone, and Fang Ye felt annoyed. Why was it that just when he finally had time to sit down and read, someone called him?
He looked at the phone number, surprised beyond belief.
It was Old Wang from Guanhu Branch Station calling!
Why would a police officer be looking for him? Did they intercept some poached animals that needed to be taken in by their zoo for rescue?
With that thought, he felt a jolt in his heart and quickly picked up the phone, "Hello, Officer Wang? What's up?"
Old Wang said, "Director Fang, a wild boar has made its way into Qingshan Boulevard, and we need your zoo's help to capture it!"
"Oh! I understand now," Fang Ye finally grasped what was happening.
Qingshan Boulevard was also one of the more bustling commercial streets in Linhai City, where he and Lan Li had gone to see a movie last time.
He hurriedly replied, "I'll bring our zoo staff over to catch the wild boar right away! By the way, what's the situation now? Has anyone been injured?"
But from Old Wang's tone, which didn't seem very serious or urgent, there probably wasn't any serious issue.
Indeed, Old Wang said, "It started with an employee from a milk tea shop calling the police. Then it ran amok, scaring quite a few pedestrians. Finally, it ran into a KTV, and fortunately, there weren't many customers at the time. The boss and the waiters were smart enough to escape and then wisely locked the door, trapping it inside, so it can't get out for now."
Fang Ye breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, that's good then!"
