At this stage, raising the ticket price is a desperate move. Li Yaolin likes money, but she is not so short-sighted.
She pondered, "Sure enough, we still have to operate some paid attractions..."
The first idea that came to her mind was to implement a charging system for the sea fishing grounds. However, the operating costs of the sea fishing grounds and the white sand beach are already included in the ticket price. If an additional fee is charged, it will be easy to be criticized for being too greedy.
However, apart from those experienced anglers who bring their own fishing gear and bait, there are so many tourists on the island. What if there are potential sea fishing enthusiasts? They were itching to try fishing when watching others, but they found that there were no fishing gear or bait. If the sea fishing ground could provide services such as renting fishing gear and selling bait, wouldn't it also be a big income?
In this way, she had to supplement her knowledge of sea fishing, so that when tourists came to her to buy things and asked her what bait she used, she would not be able to answer.
In addition, new charging projects can be developed, such as a diving base.
This was her idea when she first developed the island, but unfortunately the funds and conditions were not sufficient at that time.
Later, she completed the task and got 3 million in cash. She spent 1 million to buy shares in Qianlai Tourism, and invested more than 1 million to build convenience stores, employee dormitories, reception halls, etc., leaving more than 900,000.
It costs 580,000 yuan to develop a diving base, but only about 460,000 yuan is needed after using the discount card. It is not clear about the purchase of diving equipment and operating costs, but 200,000 yuan can be allocated. The remaining money should be able to maintain the operation of the island until the National Day, right?
After all, she also has a subsidy project from Poseidon, which increases the development fund by 10,000 yuan for every 100 tourists, and there is a stable deposit of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan every day. This money can only be used for island development, so she has never touched this money, and has accumulated 300,000 yuan so far.
In other words, out of the more than 900,000 yuan, she only needs to spend 360,000 yuan.
However, development is easy, just move your fingers on the APP, and the little mermaid can also handle the relevant procedures, but where can she find the key diving coach? Online recruitment?
Diving coaches are different from lifeguards, safety officers, and ticket sellers. They not only need qualifications, but also a clean background. They also need to be able to communicate with tourists and comfort tourists when they panic. These cannot be achieved by sitting in an office for an interview.
Moreover, Li Yaolin herself does not know much about diving projects. She thinks that before developing, the island owner must first master the knowledge in this area in order to better develop this project.
She decided to find time to learn from others.

Yaolin was preparing to cook half a pack of frozen dumplings she had left over from the morning for dinner, but Lin Qiang knocked on the office door and asked, "Boss, have you had dinner? If not, come over and eat together. I made dinner."
Li Yaolin followed him to the security room and found an electric rice cooker and induction cooker inside. There were three dishes on the table, one plate of stir-fried vegetables, one plate of steamed fish, and one plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Lin Qiang seemed to see her confusion and said with a smile, "I asked Lao Du to help buy these dishes this morning, and they have been kept in the refrigerator. I bought these fish from the fisherman, two in total, one steamed and the other made into fish soup."
Li Yaolin raised her thumb and gave him a thumbs up, "Thoughtful!"
"Just make sure the boss doesn't blame me for cooking here."
"..." Li Yaolin reacted, "Yeah, you reminded me."
Lin Qiang's smile froze, "..."
Suddenly, Li Yaolin smiled, "Don't be nervous, it's not illegal to use electrical appliances after work. But you still have to pay attention to electrical safety, and the fire extinguisher should be placed in a conspicuous place."
Lin Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay."
Lin Qiang prepared disposable bowls and chopsticks, and Li Yaolin was full with only a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup, and the rest of the food almost all went into Lin Qiang's stomach.
Li Yaolin was amazed at the other person's appetite, and was a little worried that if she came to eat for free, she would not let the other person eat enough, so she asked: "Are you full? If not, do you want to go to the convenience store to get a bag of frozen dumplings to cook?"
Lin Qiang waved his hand: "I'm full."
Li Yaolin helped to wash the pot, and looking at the water flowing out of the faucet, she opened the Poseidon Holiday APP to check the current water storage capacity of the reservoir.
300 cubic meters, the original water storage capacity of the reservoir is 20 tons, and now only half of the fresh water is left.
Recently, more and more tourists have gone to shower after playing on the white sand beach, and the water consumption has increased all of a sudden. It is unknown how long the remaining ten tons of fresh water can be used.
Once the fresh water runs out, some fresh water will have to be transported from the shore...
Li Yaolin shook the APP: "Xingzhou Island opens today, don't you have any rewards or big rewards? It's a milestone after all, give me some achievement rewards? I don't ask for much, just give me a reservoir that can draw water infinitely."
Poseidon Holiday APP: "..."
Isn't this a high request? You are dreaming!
Despite this, the system still pushed a new message:
[To celebrate the official operation of Xingzhou Island, Poseidon Market is offering big rewards and launching limited-time products. There is only one minute left! ]
Li Yaolin: "?!"
Damn, there is really a big reward?
But why is it only one minute?
Li Yaolin didn't have time to think about it. She clicked on the Poseidon Market and saw the product with the latest logo. She chose to buy it without even looking at the price.
[Purchase of 'Fresh Water Extraction System' successful! Note: This product is a separate system and can only be tied to one water storage container. For each ton of fresh water extracted, you need to pay 100 yuan (including sewage treatment fees)! ]
Li Yaolin: "..."
Is this really a money grab?
Industrial and commercial water is only four yuan per ton, plus the cost of transporting it to the island, it's only ten yuan per ton. Using this system to extract one ton of fresh water costs 100 yuan. What else is this if not a money grab?
And it cost her 80,000 yuan to buy this system!
When the time came, the product was removed from the Poseidon Market. Li Yaolin interpreted it as the system wanting to destroy the body and leave no trace.
Li Yaolin asked: "Can I return it?"
The system did not respond at all.
Li Yaolin: "..."
I was so angry!
Forget it, I bought it.
Li Yaolin installed it on the only reservoir on the island and tied it to the reservoir.
The reservoir originally cost three million, and only such an expensive (cheating) system could be worthy of it.
Li Yaolin was a little depressed after being cheated by Poseidon Market this time, but when she saw that White Beach had met the conditions for upgrading, she was refreshed and immediately forgot about her unhappiness.
[White Beach (Level 2) has met the conditions for upgrading, do you want to upgrade?]
Li Yaolin was about to choose "Yes" when she suddenly stopped.
The pollution index of Level 2 White Beach has dropped to 20 points. After the upgrade, the pollution index will inevitably drop even lower. The beach and the surrounding sea area will surely be clearer and more beautiful. But the operating costs have doubled again. Wouldn't her financial pressure double?
Li Yaolin hesitated for two minutes and finally chose to upgrade.
Not for anything else, just to reduce the pollution index of that sea area.
[Upgrade successful! 】
【White Beach (Level 3)】
Popularity: 1012/10000Pollution
Index: 10 (Level 1 Pollution)
Operation Cost: 8000 Yuan/Day
As expected, the operation cost doubled!
At this moment, Li Yaolin seemed to see that his bankruptcy was approaching again.
As the saying goes, there is gain in loss. After the pollution index of White Beach decreased, the affinity coefficient of the fishing ban area also increased by a few points.
[Fishing ban area]
Affinity coefficient: 15→20Pollution
index: 25 (Level 2 Pollution)
Operation cost: 100 Yuan/Day
...
After so long, the affinity coefficient has only increased by 5 points. It can be seen that it is much more difficult to change this value than to reduce the pollution index.
Li Yaolin has not figured out how to increase the affinity coefficient, but he knows that it is related to the environment of the surrounding sea area.
The clock in the office turned to nine o'clock. Li Yaolin was busy all day and was tired. She turned off the lights in the office, locked the door, and walked towards the staff dormitory.
The wind and waves were a bit strong at night. Half of the white beach was submerged by the sea, but it was still some distance away from the shaded rest platform.
Li Yaolin walked barefoot on the white beach, stepping on the waves. She didn't know why, but she was a little afraid of the ocean in the past and only dared to soak her feet in the shallow beach. Now she was not afraid of the surging waves and even had the courage to swim in the sea.
Li Yaolin: "..."
Is she possessed by evil spirits?
Just as this creepy thought arose in her mind, she suddenly found a black object washed ashore by the waves. The nearest light source was the street light on the side of the road. She couldn't see clearly. When she found that the thing could move, she was even more scared.
At this time, Lin Qiang, who was passing by with a flashlight, shook the flashlight: "Boss?"
Li Yaolin breathed a sigh of relief: "It's me."
Lin Qiang walked over, and Li Yaolin asked him to borrow the flashlight to shine on the thing washed up by the waves, but found that it was actually a sea turtle!
Author's words:
APP: When have I ever cheated you?
Island owner: When have you never cheated me?
