Chapter 90: Unexpected
Before Lin Zhicheng took over as the island's owner, the island's development policy had been conservative.
No way, for the Lin clan who are far away from their homeland, the Nalan Islands are their last home.
In addition, he has experienced several big twists and turns before, and almost became a rootless person, so the thinking of the old island owners of the previous generations was unconsciously affected, and gradually became the so-called 'conservatives'.
Take care of one-third of one-acre land in one's own house, and don't develop aggressively outward, this is the development strategy set by previous generations of island owners.
Without great efforts to develop publicity, the popularity in the world is naturally not high, so even if the Naran Islands have excellent tourism resources, even if the conditions here are not much worse than Guam, Hawaii and other tourist attractions, there are still few tourists who choose the Naran Islands.
According to the previous data, if three or four thousand places are left for tourists, it will definitely be enough.
However, will things really go as smoothly as Claire and others predicted?
As time passed, the construction of the stage also came to an end, and seeing that it was about to be completed, Lin Zhicheng suddenly received a report and request for help from the government leadership team.
"Why are you here?" had just returned from the vegetable patch, still covered in grass clippings and mud. Stretching out his hand and seeing the mud on his palm, Lin Zhicheng had no choice but to greet the few people in front of him first: "Uh, I'm sorry, I was working just now, and my body was a little dirty." In this case, I will go and wash and change my clothes first, and you go to my study and sit down for a while, and I will come right away. ”
"Okay. Lawrence nodded in agreement, and together with James, who came with him, followed Catherine to Lin Zhicheng's study.
It didn't take long for Lin Zhicheng to return.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Not only were Lawrence and James served a cup of coffee, but there was also an untouched cup on the edge of the empty couch. Obviously, it was prepared by Catherine for herself, and Lin Zhicheng was not polite, taking a sip of coffee while sitting down and asking the two of them.
"Charlie, have you noticed? There are more and more tourists on the island these days. They exchanged glances, and Lawrence spoke first.
"Yes? I didn't pay much attention. Lin Zhicheng shook his head: "You also saw it, I just came back from the vegetable garden, in fact, except for going to see the scene every night, I haven't been to the main island much." ”
Although after you chose to let go, we people were indeed a lot easier, but even if you want to be a hands-off shopkeeper, you can't get rid of it so thoroughly, right? Because of Lin Zhicheng's words, Lawrence and James unconsciously showed expressions of crying and laughing.
"All right, Charlie. While smiling wryly and shaking his head, James took out a small notebook: "This is the data I just copied from the immigration department, you can take a look at it first, you should understand." ”
"On 28 January, there were 568 arrivals and 496 departures, on 29 January, 602 arrivals and 615 departures, on 30 January, 587 arrivals and 432 departures, on 31 January, 800 arrivals and 602 departures, on 1 February, 1,532 arrivals and 612 departures, and on 2 February, 1,607 arrivals and 598 departures....... ”
After reading it from beginning to end, he still didn't understand what James meant, so Lin Zhicheng had no choice but to cast him an inquiring look.
“……。 She had been listening to the sidelines, and seeing Lin Zhicheng so unenlightened, Catherine secretly rolled her eyes.
Fortunately, it was not seen by Lawrence and James, otherwise, Lin Zhicheng, who was the master, would have to lose some of his majesty.
Of course, as a housekeeper, on the bright side, you still have to help the master save face. Therefore, Catherine immediately sorted out her expression, leaned down, and gave guidance to Lin Zhicheng in a very gentle tone: "Since February, the number of tourists on the island has increased day by day, and they have not left after playing as before, but have chosen to stay for a long time ....... ”
got the hint and looked back again, Lin Zhicheng finally understood.
"Now, I mean, how many tourists are staying on the island today?" Raising his head and staring at Lawrence and James, Lin Zhicheng finally asked the most crucial question.
"According to my personal estimates, there are at least about 11,000 people. "James is in charge of tourism and has a little more information on hand.
"And, we think, that number will increase even further. Lawrence added.
It would be a good thing to be thankful that the number of tourists would continue to grow in normal times. But now, not necessarily.
Why is the number of tourists suddenly increasing at this time? Obviously, the reason is that the New Year's celebrations are about to begin.
To put it bluntly, at least half of these tourists don't really want to come to the Nalan Islands for a vacation, they are just fans of those big stars, and it's just because the big stars want to perform here, so they follow them.
Food and accommodation are not too much of a problem - even if the hotels are full, it doesn't matter, the islanders will definitely seize the opportunity to take out their rooms to receive tourists and earn some pocket money by the way. No matter how bad it is, you can also open some public facilities, such as the school playground, the grass next to the beach, the city center square, etc., as a campground for tourists to solve their own accommodation problems.
The point is that these tourists will definitely go for the New Year celebrations. Not to mention that there will definitely be people coming in the next few days, just now that there are so many people, the reserved space on the hangar can no longer be installed.
"It's a problem. After imagining it a little, Lin Zhicheng couldn't help frowning.
"It's a real headache. Lawrence nodded, with a very sad expression on his face: "The more tourists there are, the more likely they are to have various problems." Today alone, I have received several complaints, either caused by the impolite behavior of tourists, or the dissatisfaction of tourists caused by the behavior of some residents, in short, disputes and conflicts between tourists and local residents. ”
"There's a lot going on Alexander's side, too. In fact, he had planned to come with him, but later, when he heard that someone was drunk and making trouble, he had to go there. Alexander was the police chief in charge of law and order, and because he couldn't come because of his work, he had to ask James to help him mention it.
Lin Zhicheng had a headache about how to make so many tourists participate in the celebration, and he didn't expect the two of them to suddenly mention these issues.
At the same time, thinking that these problems should not be beyond the ability of the leadership team, Lin Zhicheng unconsciously asked: "So? You should have thought of some plans, right? I mean, since you found me, there must be some things that need me to come forward to solve them, right?"
"You don't have to show up. Lawrence shook his head: "Actually, there are some places in the plan we have in mind that require your consent. ”
"Tell me about it. ”
"First of all, we would like to ask you to open up access to this side of Longevity Island. Lawrence rubbed his hands together and said his first thought: "I had people do two surveys and get some opinions from tourists, many of whom are curious about Changshou Island and several other uninhabited islands. ”
"Not to mention the uninhabited island, the natural environment there can't withstand the damage caused by the influx of tourists, and we don't have the manpower to ensure their safety when they go on an expedition to an uninhabited island. Therefore, the developed Longevity Island has become the only option, and it is the only one that can help divert tourists. ”
"What else?" Faced with this request, Lin Zhicheng did not answer directly, but continued to ask about other matters.
"Then we need to mobilize the residents of the island and ask them to step up and help maintain order, and to put it bluntly, we need a group of volunteers right now. This time it was James' turn to speak: "If the government comes forward to recruit people, it is necessary to set a suitable salary for the job, but considering that the work content is relatively trivial and very difficult to quantify, it is not easy for us to pay the same salary for everyone." ”
"On second thought, it would be better to mobilize the island's residents, to mobilize their sense of belonging and enthusiasm, and to involve them as volunteers. And if you want to do this, you can only ask you to take the lead. ”
"Volunteers, I'll come forward and propose it when I get back. This proposal is very suitable for rallying the centripetal force of the island's residents, and Lin Zhicheng will naturally not refuse.
"What about the opening of Longevity Island?" asked Lawrence, taking the opportunity.
“Emmmm~。 Lin Zhicheng thought for a while: "Yes, yes, but the number of people must be limited." After all, the population here is relatively small, and there are too many people at once, and they will definitely not be able to bear it. Besides, we don't have that much transportation on hand, so we can't satisfy everyone, can we?"
"Definitely. Lawrence nodded, he was already satisfied with such an answer.
"By the way, one more thing. James suddenly interjected and said, "Charlie, can you say hello to those artists and ask them to do me a favor?"
"Huh?"
"I mean, if they take the lead, then the group of tourists who are their fans should be a little more settled. We can save a little bit of trouble on our side, too. James scratched the back of his head: "This is what I just thought of, if it's not appropriate, you just don't say it." ”
