Seeing that we finally came up with a project to develop, but it was shelved indefinitely due to a lack of funds, it was a bit regrettable.
Li Yaolin was reluctantly pondering the map on the APP, and suddenly, she saw the reef island between Xingzhou Island and Liantou Port.
The area of this reef island is 6 hectares, or 60,000 square meters. From a flat surface, it looks like a big cat walking with its tail flapping... This is not the point. The point is that its terrain is relatively flat, and its location is very suitable as a transfer station for the sea cable car. There
are already observation stations in the reserve on the reef island, but there are still large areas that can be used. At that time, the observation stations on the island can also be used as attractions to attract tourists to visit.
The distance between the reef island and Xingzhou Island is 2 nautical miles, or 3,704 meters; and the distance between the reef island and Liantou Port is 1.5 nautical miles, or 2,778 meters. Therefore, if a section of the sea cable car is built temporarily, the investment will be much less.
After calculating the accounts, Li Yaolin decided to save 100 million first!
Although there is no money yet, it does not prevent Li Yaolin from discussing with the nature reserve management station about building a cable car station on the reef island.
Before the matter was agreed, someone accidentally leaked the news.
In response to this, the public opinion on the Internet is mixed. The joy is that the number of domestic sea cable cars will increase again, and it may be possible to build the world's longest sea cableway in the future; the worry is to what extent this sea cable car will damage the environment? Will it affect the marine life and passing ships when it passes through the protected area? Can it withstand the attack of a 14-level typhoon?
Of course, the majority of people are expecting it, and there are also the wailing of tourists from Xingzhou Island: Why can't the sea cable car be built in the Cultural and Creative Industrial Park? They don't want to go to Liantou Port!
Li Yaolin: "..."
What does it have to do with me if you don't want to go to Liantou Port?
And she has other plans for how to strengthen the linkage between the Cultural and Creative Industrial Park and Xingzhou Island.
Investors who heard the news were relieved. When they learned that Xingzhou Island had won the Jiahai, they thought about investing in hotels, villas, and B&Bs next to it. However, there has been no action on Xingzhou Island, and there is not even any arrangement for its development. They are really worried that it will be taken back by the government in two years.
Although there is only news of a project to develop an offshore cable car, and it has not been determined whether to build the "Xingzhou Island Section" or the "Sea Section", this project will give a shot in the arm to investors who follow suit to invest in the development of the sea area, and the stocks of the listed companies behind them will also rise...
"
The total turnover in the first quarter of 2023 was 310 million yuan, of which ticket revenue was 7 million yuan (excluding boat tickets), sales of cultural and creative products were 51.03 million yuan, sales of 'Poseidon' fishing gear and bait were 18.39 million yuan, ecological corridors were 12.24 million yuan, underwater hotels were 10.8 million yuan, holiday hotels were 81.3 million yuan, and seafood buffets...an increase compared to the first quarter of last year..."
In the office, Li Yaolin listened to the housekeeper's financial report analysis report.
The reason why I listened to the housekeeper is that it is only the beginning of April now. Apart from the housekeeper, no one can make a 100% accurate audit and feedback on the financial status of a quarter in such a short time.
"After the National Day last year, the turnover reached 300 million. I didn't expect that the turnover in the first quarter of this year would exceed 300 million. It was really not easy." Li Yaolin sighed.
She certainly knew why.
First of all, the various blocks of the cultural and creative industrial park were gradually completed and put into operation. For example, after the production area built two cultural and creative product production workshops, the production line was expanded a lot, and the commercial street stores were opened one after another. Combined with the "online + offline" sales model, the sales volume increased immediately.
Secondly, the operation of underwater hotels and marine ecological corridors, the price increase of seafood buffet restaurants, the increase of marine recreational facilities, and the gradual enrichment of marine entertainment projects have increased the opportunities for tourists to consume, and the turnover has naturally increased significantly.
In addition, after more than a year of breeding, the aquatic products in the green breeding area of Xingzhou Island have finally begun to be sold in large quantities, and this part of the income is also considerable.
Finally, the number of companies, businesses and advertisers entering the industrial park has gradually increased. Although this part of the income only accounts for 12% of the total turnover, I believe that as the operating model of the industrial park becomes more and more mature, more companies and businesses will certainly move in, and then the rental and other income will gradually increase!
After deducting various costs from the 310 million yuan turnover, the actual net profit is 130 million yuan.
The subsequent construction and operation of the industrial park will cost another 100 million or 200 million yuan, and the offshore cable car project is also waiting.
Li Yaolin thought about it and decided to invest 100 million yuan to complete part of the industrial park project, and keep the remaining 30 million yuan for emergency use. As for the tens of millions of development funds in the account, they will still be saved and used to build the offshore cable car. After spending
another 100 million yuan, Li Yaolin felt that his heart was hollowed out. Just as he was thinking about whether to agree to Director Fu to go into the sea to make a movie and leave himself some pocket money, the manager of the open-air theater came over.
She handed Li Yaolin an envelope and said, "Mr. Li, this is the ticket Mr. Chen left for you."
Li Yaolin opened it and saw that it contained four tickets for Mr. Chen's solo concert in two days, two VVIP tickets and two ordinary tickets.
Some people think that Mr. Chen's move is unnecessary. After all, the open-air theater belongs to Li Yaolin. If she wants to go in, she doesn't need to buy a ticket.
In fact, when Li Yaolin positioned the operation of the open-air theater, he stipulated that the industrial park is only responsible for the daily maintenance and security of the open-air theater. Once someone rents it, whether it is to hold a concert or show an open-air movie, as long as it is not an event participated by Xingzhou Island, then they are not allowed to abuse their power for personal gain.
Take this recital as an example. Some people cannot buy tickets. Even if they want to buy tickets through Xingzhoudao employees, it is not feasible because Xingzhoudao employees will not use their power to attend the recital.
Unless the organizer needs Xingzhoudao to provide assistance, Xingzhoudao will provide different degrees of assistance according to the contract.
Therefore, even if Li Yaolin is the boss and the open-air theater belongs to her, she will honestly buy tickets when she wants to attend the concert.
The most expensive ticket for Mr. Chen's recital is the VIP ticket. In fact, he has reserved several VVIP seats for his good friends. Li Yaolin did not expect that he would reserve two tickets for her.
Zheng Xuan and Lin Qitong were also surprised to learn about this: "I understand leaving VVIP tickets, but what does it mean to leave ordinary tickets? Is it a gift to you as a favor?"
Li Yaolin vaguely understood the other party's intention, so he gave two VVIP tickets to the sisters and said: "This concert is his comeback work, and with the support of the queen, it will definitely attract a lot of attention, and the media will definitely be there. Maybe he knew that I might not be willing to sit in the VVIP seat, so he left me ordinary tickets. So you can take these two tickets!"
Lin Qitong was very happy: "Thank you, Sanniang!"
Zheng Xuan took an ordinary ticket and said: "I'll sit with you in the back, I don't want to be photographed."
"If you guys don't sit down, I'll sit down!" Lin Qitong said. She was the image ambassador of Xingzhou Island and often appeared in the news. What if she was photographed with her sisters and Sanniang's identity as the island owner was exposed? So she didn't deliberately sit with them to show her sisterly love.
"What should I do with the remaining ticket?" Lin Qitong asked again.
Li Yaolin didn't know what she thought of, and smiled and said, "Give it to my assistant Xiaoyu, he should like music very much."
Lin Qitong blinked: "But how do I give it to him?"
"It's okay, put it on my desk, if he wants to go, he will take it himself."
After Li Yaolin put the ticket on the desk, he went off work with Lin Qitong and Zheng Xuan.
The next day, the ticket was still there, but on the third night, two hours before the concert started, Li Yaolin returned to the office to get his coat after dinner and found that the ticket was gone.
Li Yaolin did not take the opportunity to tease the little mermaid. She went to see the security work of the logistics department before entering the venue.
Friday night is the prelude to a leisurely holiday for many office workers who can have two days off. They came to the Cultural and Creative Industrial Park with a very relaxed attitude. Under the bright lights, the industrial park was crowded.
The leaders of the relevant departments of the oil market attached great importance to the safety of this concert, so they also came to inspect the work. Naturally, the TV stations and newspapers in the oil market would not miss such news, so the TV station reporters were interviewing here, and the reporters from the newspapers were taking pictures there. There were
also paparazzi from new media and entertainment newspapers hiding in the crowd, watching and listening, ready to pay attention to whether there were people in the entertainment industry appearing at any time, so as to catch some gossip.
Soon they found that Shu Shuang, who was supposed to be backstage preparing to help Mr. Chen tonight, appeared on the commercial street of the industrial park.
Her agent also appeared with her. The two of them were strolling around the cultural and creative store on Xingzhou Island. Shu Shuang's agent pointed at Pippi's pillow and said, "Sister Shuang, why don't you adopt Pippi? Pippi is so cute!"
Shu Shuang thought that when she adopted the dugong cub, the Chinese white dolphin had not yet appeared.
She picked up the dugong cub's pillow and said, "My Liangliang is also cute!"
Ugly and cute.
The agent said, "Sure enough, in the eyes of a mother, no child is ugly!"
Shu Shuang showed a happy smile.
Shu Shuang already has a pillow like this, which was sent to her by the conservation area management station, so she didn't buy anything, but instead accompanied the agent to buy a few boxes of postcards.
The paparazzi muttered: "I didn't expect the queen to be so frugal. She only bought a few boxes of postcards after shopping for half a day!"
His companion said: "Don't you know that the postcard boxes of Xingzhou Island are very popular? I heard that there is a limited edition postcard in it. Whoever is lucky enough to draw it will have good luck for the next year. She must have bought it to change her luck!"
"Is it true? What limited edition postcard can change your luck? Have you ever been to Wong Tai Sin Temple to have it blessed?"
"Don't disbelieve me, this postcard is popular abroad. There is a foreign guy on Twitter who traveled to the island. He didn't know that postcards can be bought individually, so he bought two boxes of blind boxes to send to his friends. One of them is a limited edition, and he kept it for himself because he thought it was good. Later, when he just returned to China, he learned from his lawyer that he had an aunt who passed away last year. Her property has never been inherited by anyone. After searching for so long, he finally found a relative like him... He inherited an inheritance of 8 million pounds in a blink of an eye."
Paparazzi: "..."
He asked: "If there is a blessing from the gods, will our Chinese gods also bless the foreign guys?"
"..." His companion: "All beings are equal. Besides, that foreign guy seems to like Chinese culture very much. Every day I see his Twitter sharing his experiences of cupping, scraping, and learning Chinese. So maybe our gods like him and changed his luck for him."
The paparazzi put away the camera and walked towards the cultural and creative store. His companion hurriedly pulled him: "What are you doing?"
"Buying a blind box. What if I win? When I win, the first thing I will do is buy Mark Six lottery tickets, and I will never have to do this job again."
His companion said dimly: "Mark Six lottery tickets are illegal in mainland China. How can gods bless such illegal things?"
The paparazzi: "..."
He doesn't believe in evil. If he wants to buy a blind box, don't stop him!
…
When Shu Shuang came out of the creative store, she saw the paparazzi arguing with his companions. Her agent said, “Sister Shuang, they are from the Banana Daily. They said last time that you gave birth to a baby in the mainland.”
Although Shu Shuang didn’t know why they were fighting among themselves, as long as they didn’t pester her to make up some gossip, she wouldn’t care why they appeared here.
Shu Shuang said, “I still have to put on makeup and prepare in advance. Let’s go!”
Not long after she left, the two paparazzi realized that they had lost her.
They went to the open-air theater to look for her, cursing and swearing, wanting to see if Shu Shuang would have something to do with Mr. Chen backstage.
Although the two have always said to the outside world that they are good friends, the paparazzi believe that there is no pure friendship between men and women, so if they can dig up some information, it would be great.
However, without tickets, they cannot enter the open-air theater.
They thought that since this is an open-air theater, there must be a place around to get in. So they searched for a long time, crossed the windbreak, found the blind spot of surveillance, and climbed over the protective net with great effort. As a result, they were caught by the patrolling security before they took two steps.
They thought that there was no surveillance here because it was dark and windy. In fact, their every move was paid close attention to by the little housekeeper. Once they climbed the protective net, it would send instructions to the security captain on duty, and the latter would let the patrolling security quickly rush to the location of the alarm.
The two paparazzi were confused. They had been paparazzi for many years. Their hiding skills were first-rate, but it was difficult for ordinary people to find them. How did the security of this industrial park do it? Even if they climbed over the fence and triggered an alarm, it would take them several minutes to rush over from the patrol station. How did they rush over as soon as they landed?
In addition to the security guards, the person in charge of the industrial park and the reporter also rushed over. The person in charge explained to the camera: "As you can see, the industrial park and Xingzhou Island use the same security system. Once any illegal or unlawful behavior is detected, feedback will be received quickly and a response will be made...According to our regulations, such behavior as evading tickets and entering specific places without permission is an uncivilized behavior and will be added to the blacklist."
The two paparazzi covered their faces and said, "Damn, it's so embarrassing."
This experience will cast a shadow on their paparazzi career.
