The humpback whales eventually chose to settle on Xingzhou Island to spend the breeding season, but their distrust of the killer whales was ingrained in their bones, so they would keep their distance from each other before giving birth.
The killer whales were also slapped in the face by the humpback whales, so they all told their cubs to stay away from them.
Both sides reached a unanimous recognition on the principle of peaceful coexistence.
The video of the negotiation between the killer whales and the humpback whales was uploaded to the Internet, which made many marine biologists around the world who have been working in this field for many years scratch their heads. What they couldn't understand most was why the humpback whales appeared in the waters of Xingzhou Island in this season.
Although Li Yaolin already knew the answer, she didn't say it. After all, she is not an expert in this field. Even if she tells the truth, no one can understand.
Not only are marine biologists puzzled by the behavior of humpback whales, but even netizens around the world are also confused. They have watched documentaries for so many years, but it's all in vain.
Chinese marine biologists are very happy because they finally have live wild humpback whales for them to study!
However, they can't come to study whenever they want. First of all, there are water entertainment projects such as fishing, sailing, windsurfing, and yachting in the waters of Xingzhou Island. In addition to the law enforcement detachment's ships, even fishing boats cannot easily approach, let alone these research ships that entered the waters without permission for research.
In order to conduct research, in addition to obtaining permission from relevant departments in the oil market, it is also necessary to negotiate with the management station to obtain the support of Xingzhou Island.
The appearance of humpback whales has set off a "whale watching fever". Many tourists hope to watch humpback whales up close - it's not that no one wants to watch killer whales up close, but killer whales swim very fast and are often difficult to track, so the whale watching effect is not good.
Therefore, the appearance of humpback whales has made some people see business opportunities, and they simply changed their private fishing boats into whale watching boats, charging 200 yuan per person and carrying more than 20 people. The income is far more than the cost of sea fishing. What's more, the waters where whales appear are close to the shore, which can save a lot of fuel and make more money than boat fishing!
As for whether Xingzhou Island would allow it, it was not within their consideration at all. If
they really took Xingzhou Island seriously, how could they make money? Li Yaolin had long been on guard against these little tricks, so he asked the humpback whales to identify the boats of Xingzhou Island. If they found an unfamiliar boat during the activity, they would avoid it if possible.
Soon, these private fishing boats found that the humpback whales were still rolling and playing on the sea surface a second ago. When their boats approached, they had already dived to a depth of about 100 meters underwater. When they appeared again, they were already in the sea area one mile away.
The captains of the private fishing boats: "..."
were very angry!
If humpback whales were like this to everyone, they wouldn't be so angry. But when the yachts and fishing boats of Xingzhou Island appeared, they would still move around nearby. Even when Li Yaolin came out on the yacht, they would roll and jump beside them until Li Yaolin asked the staff of the management station to help them clean the rattan pots and whale lice on their bodies.
Killer whales don't have to worry about being parasitized by rattan pots and whale lice because they swim fast and the parasites are washed away by the current before they can get a firm grip. Killer whales will also "rub each other's backs" to clean each other, so parasites always pick on the weak ones - humpback whales, gray whales and other slow-swimming whales are often their parasites.
When cleaning rattan pots, Li Yaolin would often hide far away, because she would get a tingling sensation when she saw the dense rattan pots and whale lice on the humpback whales... These parasites are probably the only marine life she hopes will disappear in the waters of Xingzhou Island.
Li Yaolin even murmured to the little mermaid: "Fortunately, I didn't see these things on Xingzhou Island, otherwise I would have sold Xingzhou Island immediately."
The little mermaid: "Island owner, you are discriminating against species!"
"Whatever you say, there are so many facilities on the island, just the marine ecological corridor and the underwater hotel. If the rattan pots are attached to the glass, it will cost me a lot of money just to clean them up!"
The little mermaid: "... In a sense, this is the island owner's weakness, right?"
The island owner is actually afraid of parasites such as rattan pots!
...
After knowing that it is impossible to watch whales up close through illegal whale-watching boats, many tourists gave up the idea of finding private fishing boats to go out to sea for whale watching, and instead turned their attention back to the marine ecological corridor and renting yachts on Xingzhou Island.
As for the sea cable car, three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the mini program had just opened the ticket purchase function, and the number of people who had made reservations caused the system to crash.
Fortunately, the engineers were online at the time and quickly solved these problems.
The rules for riding the sea cable car are also divided into time periods. It usually starts operating at 8 am and ends at 5 pm in the evening. The time for the cable car to rotate once is adjusted to 90 minutes, so 90 minutes is a time period. If a time period is full, you can only make a reservation in the next time period. After the reservation is successful, you have to queue up on site to register and get a number.
Similarly, two-thirds of the tickets will be reserved for tourists on site. Therefore, netizens found that although the cable car can be booked for 204 people in a period of time, only 70 people can be booked successfully online.
At the end of the day, only 1,224 people can take the cable car at most, which is much less than the number of people allowed to land on Xingzhou Island!
Netizens: "..."
I thought there were many opportunities, but I didn't expect that cruel things were behind!
Netizens who failed to get tickets started making jokes:
"The cable car is not fun, I advise you to cancel your reservation and give me the reservation."
"It is not recommended for parents to take their children to ride the cable car because I have conjunctivitis!"
"Experts say the cable car is unsafe, and suggest that those of us who are in a hurry to be reborn should experience it first."
"..."
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, tourists had already arrived at Jiahaidengling early in the morning and began to queue up to buy tickets.
Some tourists saw such a long queue and asked for help online: "Are there any scalpers like those at Disney on Xingzhou Island? The kind where I'm responsible for cutting in line and he's responsible for swearing at people."
Netizens mocked mercilessly: "Unless the scalpers don't want to be in this area anymore, there are really few scalpers who dare to do this."
Not only are there risks of being blacklisted by Xingzhou Island, but they will also be driven away by the surrounding villagers.
As for whether the nearby villagers will become scalpers? The answer is unlikely.
At most, they will rush to queue up early for others to reserve seats. Tickets are sold on a real-name basis. Once discovered by Xingzhou Island, they will also be blacklisted. Once on the blacklist, Xingzhou Island will no longer help them make money. They will not give up long-term opportunities to make money for short-term benefits.
It has to be said that although many people complain about the blacklist system of Xingzhou Island, saying that it is enough to blacklist for a year or two, why should it be blacklisted forever? This is not friendly to them. Xingzhou Island even publishes a set of data every year, counting how many people were blacklisted in a certain year or quarter, and what the reasons were for blacklisting...
But it is precisely because of such a strict blacklisting system that no one has a sense of luck that it can scare off many villains and reduce the occurrence of illegal and uncivilized behavior.
——Speaking of this, some foreign politicians use this data to ridicule the uncivilized behavior of Chinese tourists.
Li Yaolin is not used to them and displays all the data by nationality and region. Foreign netizens have found that the proportion of foreign tourists in the number of blacklisted people is rising.
This is because domestic tourists have basically understood the rules of Xingzhou Island, so they will not easily commit suicide. With the increase in the number of overseas tourists in Xingzhou Island, many foreign tourists have ignored the role of the blacklist for various reasons. As a result, most of them are now regretting their behavior!
...
After the first day of operation of the cable car, the hot topics on various social platforms all revolved around Xingzhou Island.
Many people were asking about the experience, and tourists who had experienced it replied:
"I know what answer you want. Maybe you want me to say that the experience was terrible, but that's impossible. I have experienced cable cars in many places, including towering mountains and white snow, but can you imagine whales chasing, jumping and even singing under your feet, and flocks of seabirds outside the window? I can't describe my mood at the time. I just wanted to sit on the cable car for a day..."
"Absolutely, if there weren't too many people queuing and I couldn't buy a ticket, I would definitely take the second trip!"
"It's so fun. I hope the cable car section of Xingzhou Island can be developed and constructed as soon as possible!"
Some "answerers" have even started to make plans: "I decided to stay on Xingzhou Island for three days, then go to the industrial park for two days, and end this trip by taking the cable car on the last day!"
At the same time, in the office of the general manager of Xingzhou Island, Li Yaolin was holding her mobile phone and smiling like a fool.
Everyone thought she was working overtime at this time, but in fact she was looking at the revenue of the first day of the long holiday and feeling the joy of getting rich overnight!
With the blessing of the cultural and creative industrial park, the first-day turnover of Xingzhou Island and its projects reached more than 40 million yuan. It is believed that the total turnover of the eight-day holiday can reach 300 million yuan!
In the first quarter of this year, with the blessing of New Year's Day and Spring Festival, the turnover exceeded 310 million; in the second quarter, with the short holidays of Qingming Festival, May Day and Dragon Boat Festival, the turnover was 240 million; the third quarter is the peak season for coastal tourist attractions. Even without the short holidays, the turnover was "crazy" 340 million. With the two days of Mid-Autumn Festival, it can reach 400 million yuan.
The beginning of the fourth quarter is the National Day holiday. It is expected to collect 250 million yuan in six days. After a quarter, even if the worst is 600 million yuan.
The annual turnover is nearly 1.6 billion, and the net profit is also 600 million yuan. Compared with last year, it can be said to be a qualitative leap. It is really easy to make money.
An employee once estimated that the annual gross output value of the industrial park was 400 million yuan, but after only one year of operation, its gross output value has reached 800 million yuan. When the facilities here are more complete and the functions are more optimized, the gross output value will definitely increase significantly in the future!
The housekeeper reminded: "The island owner's funds have far exceeded expectations, and the second section of the 'sea cable car' can be built!"
Li Yaolin: "..."
Damn it, can't she hold on to the money for a while?
But these are all things written on the schedule. Since there is money, there is no need to delay.
She spent 200 million yuan to plan and build the remaining 4,876 meters of cable car infrastructure, and the remaining money was still kept as working capital.
"The construction period of the Xingzhou Island section of the marine cable car is four months, and it can be operated just before the Spring Festival. But when the enthusiasm of tourists wears off, they will definitely start to feel that there is nothing new about it. So, while the cable car is under construction, let's think about what other projects can be added!" Li Yaolin said to himself.
The housekeeper said: "The owner's memo contains a project idea about connecting Xingzhou Island with the Cultural and Creative Industrial Park. Will it be adopted?"
Li Yaolin: "..."
She said: "I did think about building an underwater sightseeing tunnel to strengthen the connection between Xingzhou Island and the Cultural and Creative Industrial Park, but look at the cost. Is this a project I can dream of at the moment?!" The
"underwater sightseeing tunnel" is a tunnel laid on the seabed. The materials used in the construction are the same as those of the underwater hotel. It has the advantages of longer service life, more stable and safe structure, so its cost is not low.
Its total length is 9,663 meters. In the initial conception, a "two-hole and one-pipeline" tunnel will be used, that is, a transparent cover with a width of 20 meters and a height of 10 meters (including the width of plexiglass) will be built, of which a single tunnel is 7 meters wide, and a 5-meter space is left between the two tunnels as an escape passage.
A transparent protective cover will be built inside the tunnel to provide double protection.
This tunnel is not for vehicles to pass through. At that time, railroad tracks will be laid and small trains will pass through it. There is only one track in the single tunnel, which is 2 meters wide, with 1.5 meters of active walkways on the left and right...
and this idea requires about 4.2 billion yuan in construction funds!
The author has something to say:
Island owner: Shark me, if you want my money, you want my life!
