After calming down, I took out a hotel map from my desk drawer and started studying it. I marked the hotels that had reopened on the map and found that they were all concentrated in Shuanglang, Caicun, and Xiaguan. In Longkan Wharf, where we were located, only our inn had reopened.

I placed the distribution map in front of everyone, and then said to them, who were still immersed in excitement and joy, "Do you all see this? In the entire Longkan Wharf area, we are the only sea-view inn that can resume business. It's like we have a monopoly on the market here. Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"

Tie Nan replied, "It's definitely a good thing! Many companies invest billions and still might not be able to monopolize the market. This is a godsend for us... Our inn will definitely be a money tree in the future."

I shook my head and said, "It's really hard to say. The market needs fair competition. If only we reopen, Longkan won't attract many visitors because tourists will instinctively feel they can't find a guesthouse to stay in here... I really hope that this place can be like Xiaguan, with several large hotels reopening together, so that everyone can work together to develop the tourism market in Longkan. Otherwise, it's really too deserted here, and even if tourists come, they'll feel there's nothing to do."

Bai Lu chimed in, "That's true. I don't know why there haven't been any large hotels or inns built here in Longkan. Although the sea view is nice, it's still not as popular as other coastal areas."

Tie Nan waved his hand impatiently and replied, "You guys shouldn't be worrying about nothing. In the entire Longkan area, we're the only seaside inn that's reopened. Even if it's deserted here, there's still a pier. Every day, there are at least several thousand, if not tens of thousands, of tourists coming. Our inn is so small, why would we be afraid of not having business?"

"It's definitely fine for now, but in the long run, we certainly hope this place will become popular. Don't forget, our inn still has a bar. This bar can't rely solely on the guests in our ten rooms to sustain itself, can it? To make a profit, we still need to open it up to the public."

"Who cares? If all else fails, we'll just accept group customers and let them book the entire bar. We're the only ones in the business now, so we can do whatever we want. Others can only be envious!"

I smiled and then put away my long-term vision. At least for now, we really do have the upper hand in this area. Even if it's not popular enough, it's more than enough to support our small inn with only ten rooms.
