He dipped his finger in a little more wine and drew another circle on the table. "About the question of vitality."
"So-called project investment is essentially the same as opening a small store. You first tighten your belt and invest a sum of money, then slowly make money to recover the investment, and then slowly make net money. The large initial investment and daily rent and operation are all costs. To make money, you have to hope that the business will be good. You have to think about what kind of store you are suitable for."
"If you are pretty, you can open a beauty salon or clothing store. If you cook delicious food, you can open a restaurant. If you are good at hard work, you can open a freight truck. The principle is very simple! A good ecological environment can be used for health care, warm winters can be used for winter vacation, cool summers can be used for summer vacation, the seaside can be used for marine tourism, and the Northeast can be used for ice and snow world. These are all things that can be rooted in local characteristics and utilize local resources. They are things that others cannot take away. If you run a business without characteristics, no matter how big you are in Shuzhou, no matter what gimmicks you use, even if you are popular for two or three years, sooner or later the flow of people will slowly decline in the future. You will only lose everything!"
Huo Qianli nodded slowly. Rural tourism should indeed be based on the local special natural endowments and resource and environmental advantages. Without characteristics, there will be no foundation, and without industry, it will not last long. Although Mr. Cai's words sounded awkward, these two sentences were the root of the matter.
Thinking of this, Huo Qianli felt a slight headache. He shouldn't have said these things after drinking. After drinking, even simple words became complicated.
But then I thought, if I don't drink some wine, I probably won't be able to arouse the old man's interest in talking, so I just let him go.
He looked at Mr. Cai, waiting for his next words, but he didn't expect that Mr. Cai was also staring at him.
He was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized that although Mr. Cai didn't mention Mr. Yang just now, he had already said everything he wanted to say.
Don't focus on how big the so-called investment is. Look at why you are doing this thing, and see whether the purpose of Qianfu Town to build this parent-child research base can be implemented in Mr. Yang's plan;
Mr. Yang's plan certainly sounds good, but those high-end and comprehensive ideas he mentioned have lost the characteristics of Qianfu Town. Not to mention whether they can be realized or not, they are extremely easy to be replaced, and may not be sustainable in the long run, and the risks are not small.
Old Master Cai looked at Huo Qianli who was lost in thought, with a hint of appreciation on his face. He reached out his hand, picked up a peanut between his thumb and index finger, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
Huo Qianli thought for a while and looked at Mr. Cai, "Grandpa, let's not beat around the bush. What do you think?"
Mr. Cai looked at him and smiled. "Under the current political system, to do such a thing well, in addition to the task itself, there is another equally important thing, that is, the way and ability of the local government to do things."
He looked at Huo Qianli, then at the table full of dishes, and suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Is there a stove?"
Huo Qianli, who was thinking, was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Mr. Cai picked up two plates and said, "Lead the way and heat up the food. We have only had a few years of good life, and it hurts to waste it."
Huo Qianli quickly picked up two plates, went to the kitchen, turned on the lights, and took the initiative to take on the task of heating up the dishes.
This was a job that couldn't be simpler, so Old Master Cai didn't force it. He leaned against the kitchen door, tucked his sleeves in, and watched Huo Qianli busying himself. "As a high-ranking official in the town, wouldn't you think I'm taking advantage of my age?"
Huo Qianli smiled and said, "It's okay. My meal is not cheap anyway."
Mr. Cai laughed and continued, "You know what? From what we have seen in this circle, the construction of rural tourism in many places is more about satisfying the subjective wishes and assessment requirements of the local government, rather than meeting the needs of consumers or the market. As a result, the bosses are used to looking for the mayors of the city (county) instead of studying the market."
"Being greedy for big things, seeking more, and seeking quick results, pursuing short-term interests and superficial images, and being anxious to produce results and busy with political achievements are actually big problems that plague rural tourism. The tourism industry has a cultivation cycle. A fire that is blown hard will burn quickly and go out quickly. So if you want to take this path, you must be prepared."
Huo Qianli used a spatula to stir the food in the pot and said with a smile, "Don't worry about this, Mr. Cai. I am fully prepared. We can wait for the fire to start."
"The vegetables are going to be bad."
Mr. Cai said coldly, and then continued while Huo Qianli was in a panic: "The so-called investment, as I have summarized, is essentially these words: find the right market, be optimistic about the project, figure out the model, increase the value of operation, and exit reasonably. I have read your plan. The target market is clearly identified, and the entire project model is clearly explained. It is still good."
Huo Qianli washed the pot, poured another plate, and said with a smile: "Apart from anything else, the industrial foundation of our Qianfu Town is still good, and the business environment is not bad, isn't it, old man, you have personally tested it today?"
Speaking of this, Huo Qianli also felt somewhat fortunate. He did not expect that Wei Ge, despite being stupid, had unexpectedly accomplished a good thing today.
Mr. Cai thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Yang is right today. If we want to do this well, comfortable and convenient public facilities and services are still very necessary."
Huo Qianli remembered to look at the pot this time, and quickly put up another plate of hot dishes, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, old man, I agree with this point. I just think that the steps that Mr. Yang said are too big, and I am a little panicked, but we must do what is necessary."
Mr. Cai thought about it, said nothing more, sat back in his seat, and silently lit a cigarette. No one knew what he was thinking.
