Chapter 220: I'm afraid I'm going to lose money!
With the full implementation of the three-month fishing moratorium in the waters around Nanzhou, all fishing vessels that have gone out to sea have returned to Hong Kong one after another. The wharf, which used to be a little empty, is now filled with fishing boats of all sizes. Even the fishing market is much more deserted than before.
Citizens who come to the fish market to buy seafood are also keenly aware that there are more and more frozen seafood on the stalls selling seafood, and the number of fresh seafood will become less and less. If there are no fishing boats to go to sea, the business of the fishing market will also be greatly affected.
But for many fishermen, they didn't understand the rules made by the state before. Today, they are used to taking three months off a year. Fishing boats can't go out to sea, so they take the opportunity to rest or find some other work.
After receiving a call from Zhou Shengjie, Wang Yanming and others also purchased supplies, picked up Zhuang Haiyang, who returned at the end, and the group began to return to Nanshan Island. For the first batch of tourists to come to the island three days later, everyone is still quite looking forward to it.
On the way home, the new comrades-in-arms also asked: "Ocean, how long will the first tourists stay on the island?"
"A four-day, three-night trip! The average fee per person is 3,000, do you think it's expensive?"
Originally, Zhuang Haiyang also considered raising the price, or charging according to the items consumed by tourists. But after thinking about it, he still felt that this was too troublesome. The fee of 3,000 per capita is not too high, but it is not low.
According to Zhuang Haiyang's itinerary, these tourists can still enjoy good hospitality. If the tourists feel that it is not worth it, Zhuang Haiyang does not force them to come. Every tourist who confirms this is aware of this in advance.
Facing Zhuang Haiyang's inquiry, the new comrade-in-arms smiled and said, "For us, we really haven't thought about this. Just think about it, plus the cost of the road or something, those tourists will spend a lot of money to come out to play!"
"How many of them don't cost money when they go on a trip? Compared to traveling with a group, it seems that the tour fee is not much. But if you really want to run into the guide of the pit man, you may have to bleed once in that store. I'm not bullied!"
Zhuang Haiyang, who took his girlfriend out of the country earlier, knows very well that his fee is not cheap, but it is definitely not too expensive. Four days and three nights with food and accommodation, but also with a full-time tour guide to accompany the tour, tourists can also have fun.
If you stay too long, it is estimated that some tourists will find it too boring. Three days on the island is enough time for them to enjoy it all. Coupled with the services provided by Zhuang Haiyang, such a charge is really not high.
According to the calculation of 30 tourists at a time, Zhuang Haiyang can collect up to 90,000 yuan each time. If you remove the money for food and housing, the real profit is actually not much. The reason for receiving tourists is nothing more than to find something to do for the comrades-in-arms.
If you stay on the island every day, it is estimated that these comrades-in-arms will not be able to sit still. There is something to do, in addition to the guaranteed salary, the commission for receiving tourists, calculated every month, everyone can also get a lot.
According to the list of the first batch of tourists discussed by Concubine Li and Zhuang Haiyang, there are also old tourists who came last year. Li Sihai, who is far away in the imperial capital, brought his wife over this time, and plans to live on Nanshan Island for a while longer!
According to Zhuang Haiyang's meaning, he didn't plan to charge Li Sihai's fee, but Li Sihai also said directly: "Fisherman, others don't know, I know that your fee is really a conscience price." If you don't take the money, I really don't dare to go!"
In desperation, Zhuang Haiyang didn't want to say anything more. In the final analysis, if he invites so many comrades-in-arms, if he is a friend, he will not take money, so how can the final monthly commission of his comrades-in-arms begin?
In a nutshell, in Lin Xin's words, Zhuang Haiyang spent tens of millions of dollars to renovate Nanshan Island, but now he is engaged in a small batch of travel reception. I don't know when I will have to wait until I earn back the money I invested.
This may be a typical example of what others say about 'losing money and making money'!
Back on Nanshan Island, Zhuang Haiyang also organized his comrades-in-arms to store all the daily necessities purchased from the town in his old house and refrigerated cabinets. Then, every once in a while, you need to go to the town to buy.
As long as the weather permits, the first group of tourists leaves, and Zhuang Haiyang will receive the second group of tourists. According to the current list of Li Zifei, it is estimated that during the summer vacation, it is believed that the number of tourists will remain high.
Even if the island can currently accommodate 50 to 60 tourists, Zhuang Haiyang still plans to receive a group of 30 tourists to see the situation first. If you come over, you will have some more places at that time.
Those netizens who joined the group joked: "The fisherman is a real cow! Even if he sends him money, he always pushes back." With an average consumption of 3,000 trips per capita, plus round-trip carriage and horse fares, it is not a 10,000-yuan household that really dare not go!"
Tourists who have been there have come back and said it's worth it. Not to mention the good food, the fun is also happy. We're going to play because we're going to get up close and personal with the sea, not to see the heads!"
Nowadays, some well-known tourist attractions in China will become a crowded scene every day on statutory holidays. Even in normal times, the situation in some tourist areas also seems crowded. For some tourists, seeing the scenery becomes seeing people.
Unlike other tourist attractions, Zhuang Haiyang only accepts tourists who pay attention to the live broadcast room. is not an old user in the live broadcast room, and probably doesn't know these things. If you want to come to Nanshan Island, you also plan to get up close.
During this time, including the eggs laid by the chicken coop every day, Zhuang Haiyang only sent a small batch to the Yuxian Building. In addition, he also asked Concubine Li to customize a batch of packaging boxes from the Internet, each box can hold ten eggs.
When the tourists leave, these eggs will also be given to the tourists with dried seafood. As long as they have tasted the delicious eggs, Zhuang Haiyang believes that these tourists will be very satisfied with this gift before leaving.
On the first day of preparing to receive tourists, Zhuang Haiyang drove a speedboat, took his comrades to check the few desert islands that were ready for tourists to play, and confirmed that there was nothing missing: "Okay, everything is ready, tomorrow our Nanshan Island will officially open!"
"Why don't you buy two fireworks and set them off to celebrate?"
"It's not a child, what are we going to do with that unjust money?"
Unlike the new comrades-in-arms, Zhu Junhong and others had the experience of receiving students before, and they were much more relaxed about the work they were about to start. In addition, Zhuang Haiyang is in charge of the organization, and they only need to complete the assigned work.
Before dinner in the evening, Zhuang Haiyang checked the room that was ready to receive tourists. Confirm that all the daily necessities are very well prepared, and Zhuang Haiyang also knows that these comrades-in-arms work very carefully.
Thinking that every time a tourist came over, he needed to change the sheets and bedding, Zhuang Haiyang deliberately found Lin Xin and said, "Sister-in-law, every time a tourist leaves, you and Wu Fang's sister-in-law have to work hard to change those sheets and bedding."
Also, the changed sheets and bedding were delivered directly to the dry cleaners in town. Although there are washing machines on the island, so many sheets and bedding are still sent to a professional cleaning agency, which is more convenient to spend some money. Is this a good connection?"
"Okay, your sister helped to contact you, and the price is relatively affordable. ”
"That's okay! You and Wu Fang's sister-in-law are careful about this matter, if I forget, you remember to remind me." The sheets and bedding that were changed were sent to the dry cleaners in town on the same day. Anyway, we're going to go to town every few days. ”
"Good!"
There are only two women, and they have a lot of work on the island. In addition, Wu Fang was pregnant, and Zhuang Haiyang didn't dare to let her do too much work. At this point, Wu Fang sometimes felt a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Zhuang Haiyang has always emphasized that she should not work too hard. If there is really anything, he will try to arrange his comrades to do it. Zhu Junhong is also very grateful for this concern, and he works harder than before.
In the evening, Zhuang Haiyang, who was having dinner, also received a call from Li Sihai. Facing this old acquaintance, Zhuang Haiyang also said directly: "Lao Li, I will go to the airport to pick up the plane tomorrow, and I will just come by yacht when the time comes." ”
"Don't take the ferry?"
"No! That's too much of a toss and more time-consuming. It's just lunch, and it's estimated that I'll eat it later. However, the family has hired a professional chef, and the cooking skills are definitely much better than mine, and you and your sister-in-law will definitely be happy. ”
"That's good! Speaking of which, your seafood over there is also very greedy when I think about it now!"
"Mountain delicacies may not have it, but seafood is absolutely fine!"
After chatting a few words, Zhuang Haiyang also sent a text message of inquiry to some passengers who were about to leave or had already departed. Confirming that these first batch of tourists did not change their itinerary plans, Zhuang Haiyang also breathed a sigh of relief.
If the weather is good, it can receive at least six to seven groups of tourists a month. In that month, the income from receiving tourists alone is estimated to reach five or six hundred thousand. If you cut off the expenses, you should still have some money.
It's just that compared to the income from fishing in the open sea, this kind of income is really hard money!
After dinner, Zhuang Haiyang came to the cage set up in the back mountain to check the condition of the fish in the cage. Confirming that on the reef pit, the number of seafood has not decreased but increased, and Zhuang Haiyang also breathed a sigh of relief.
I chose to place the cage here, because I felt that it was safer here. There are scattered reefs around, so no matter how big the waves are, the cages will be safe. In the event of a typhoon, it can be temporarily reinforced.
Diving into several large reef pits, Zhuang Haiyang swam on the nearby seabed again, releasing a wave of Dinghai Zhu's energy by the way. Finally, I caught a few more lobsters and took them home in a net pocket to prepare for lunch tomorrow.
Seeing the big lobster caught by Zhuang Haiyang, Zhou Hongjie, who is the chef, also smiled bitterly: "If there is such a main dish at every meal, you will charge per person, I am afraid that you will lose money!"
"It's okay! This big lobster is caught for nothing anyway, so it is still necessary for tourists on the island to try it. For the next few meals, you have a good combination of meat and vegetables. I'm sure that tourists won't have any opinions either. ”
Superb seafood such as large yellow croaker and abalone, Zhuang Haiyang will definitely not be able to supply it like last year. Even in the reef pits in the back mountains, there are a lot of abalones. The problem is that those abalone are small, and Zhuang Haiyang is not interested in fishing.
As for the abalone on the side of the Ghost Stream, there are also some wild abalone that can be used as commercial abalone. But Zhuang Haiyang still thinks that those abalone are kept, and maybe there will be a time when they need it in the future. That kind of top-notch good goods, you must be thrifty to catch it!
