After settling Zheng Xuan and Lin Qitong, Li Yaolin finally had time to think about how to spend her 5 million yuan.
For the first time, she felt distressed because she didn't know how to spend the money.
It sounds very "Versailles", but in fact, 5 million yuan is not too little, nor too much.
5 million yuan is enough to build 300 or 400 holiday cabins, but it can't even build a three-star hotel. - Let alone a three-star hotel, even an economy hotel costs more than 10 million yuan. I'm afraid that her 5 million yuan will not even make a splash.
So she first ruled out building a star hotel or guesthouse.
Of course, she could also build nothing and not spend a penny, and she would be happy to see it in her account. But compared to saving money, she wanted to make money with money.
The coming National Day will usher in a peak of tourism, and ten cabins are still not enough. How about building more holiday cabins?
Li Yaolin remembered that she still had a team, and there was no need to think about it alone like before, so she called managers of various departments and supervisors at all levels to hold a meeting, and the theme was "whether to build more holiday cabins."
Department managers & supervisors at all levels: "..."
Should we say that the island owner is really rich?
She built a buffet restaurant without saying a word, and then planned to build more cabins. Didn't she have a time when she was short of funds?
Sometimes it is difficult to unify opinions when there are too many people. For example, someone suggested that building a hotel is more cost-effective than building a holiday cabin. As for the lack of money to build a hotel, what should we do? Go to the bank for a loan. The value of Xingzhou Island is hundreds of millions. It is not easy to get a loan of tens of millions!
Li Yaolin knocked on the little mermaid: "Are you there? Can I go to the bank for a loan?"
The little mermaid said: "It is recommended that the island owner develop and manage the island through his own efforts. Don't try to take shortcuts and rely on external forces!"
Li Yaolin: "..."
She knew it!
Some people also think that instead of spending all the money on accommodation, it is better to set aside part of it to develop some water projects.
Seeing the topic gradually going off track, Li Yaolin had to reiterate the theme of the meeting: "Today's meeting is mainly for you to analyze from a professional perspective whether it is necessary to build more holiday cabins at this stage, how many cabins are more appropriate, and how much budget is needed, without discussing other things."
After she said this, everyone's focus returned to the theme of the meeting.
After discussion and analysis, everyone believed that when the cabins were completed, the peak tourist season would be over. Considering the number of tourists in the off-season, there is no need to build too many holiday cabins, twenty cabins will be enough.
The budget for this part is 500,000 yuan, which includes the cost of the cabins and the purchase of fire safety related equipment.
In addition, Xingzhou Island can consider opening up camping rights and demarcating an area dedicated to camping in the flat areas of the island.
In this way, the problem of insufficient cabin rooms caused by the peak tourism period during the National Day holiday can be alleviated, and the redundant energy consumption caused by the low occupancy rate of holiday cabins during the off-season can be saved.
When Li Yaolin heard this idea, his eyes lit up: "This is a good idea!"
Camping was not allowed before because the island's infrastructure was not perfect and the safety of tourists could not be guaranteed. Now that these problems have been solved, it is time to relax the conditions appropriately.
However, camping will damage the ecological environment on the island and bring pollution problems.
The horticulturist suggested building a camping platform and using artificial turf in the campsite, which would not damage the ecology, reduce the intrusion of pests, and not have to worry about high tides and water accumulation on rainy days.
"The number of campers cannot be unlimited. According to the environment on the island, it is recommended that the campsite be around 1,200 square meters, and the rental of campsites should be planned according to the size of the campsite. A large campsite is 40 square meters, about 800 per day; a medium campsite is 30 square meters, about 600 per day; a small campsite is 12 square meters, about 200 per day.
"The time period is from 9 am to 6 pm, and if you stay overnight, you will pay an overnight management fee of 400 to 2,000 yuan. In addition, this is the price without tents. If tents are included, it will be more than this price. A few hundred should be added to this price..."
Li Yaolin: "..."
Good guy, the horticulturist is a profiteer. No, his business talent is higher than hers!
After the meeting, Li Yaolin quietly tried to plan the camping area on the APP.
As expected, the higher the cost of ecological restoration and pollution control, the higher the development cost and operation cost. It takes 250,000 to develop a 1,200 square meter camping platform (only 200,000 after using the discount card). She calculated based on this development cost, and the one-day operating cost is 200,000 yuan. It would cost about 2,000 to 3,000 yuan.
After weighing the costs and benefits, Li Yaolin finally decided to develop a camping area.
It is located on the west side of Xingzhou Island, and a stepped camping area is built according to the size of the camping area.
It is backed by mountains and faces the sea of the snorkeling area. The north side overlooks the reserve, and the south side can see the wooden house standing among the trees and flower beds.
This location is not far from the public toilet, and it is very convenient for campers to go to the toilet. If you want to take a shower, walk 100 or 200 meters to the shower room on the other side of the reception hall.
When the time comes, some pipes will be laid around the camping area, so it will be much more convenient for tourists to use tap water.
[Camping Area (Level 1)]
Popularity: 0/100
Pollution Index: 45 (Level 5 Pollution)
Operation Cost: 2,000 yuan/
day After planning to build more holiday cabins and develop camping areas, Li Yaolin decided to remove the fences of the reserve and build a road around the island instead, and then build a sound barrier on the side of the reserve.
This can not only reduce the noise made by tourists passing by, but also allow tourists to see the turtles and seabirds on the beach and reefs through the glass of the sound barrier.
Of course, it cannot be completely isolated. A terrace can be built every 500 meters to facilitate tourists to take photos and interact with the animals. Seabirds interact.
Once the road around the island is completed, it will no longer be a luxury for tourists to go to the east of the island to watch the sunrise, and they can also buy some bicycles to ride around the island.
Some trees and flower beds will be transplanted on the inner side of the road, and some chairs will be placed under the trees. Tourists can walk and ride here, and they can also take a rest under the shade of the trees when they are tired.
The total length of the coastline of Xingzhou Island is only 6.61 kilometers. The road around the island is not built along the coastline, so the total length is only about 5 kilometers.
Two kilometers have been built before, and now it can be extended by three kilometers and widened by 1.5 meters, making the entire road 3 meters wide and 5 kilometers long. Including supporting facilities such as street lights, tree beds and chairs, the cost is about 1.2 million yuan, which is 960,000 yuan after discount.
In addition to the buildings and infrastructure projects for external services, the internal office environment also needs to be upgraded.
Li Yaolin's office has always been in a small house behind the ticket office. It can only accommodate three desks, and it would be crowded if there are more.
Later, various departments were established, and the employees had nowhere to stay, so she built a few mobile cabins next to it as temporary offices for various departments.
Although no one would dislike such an office environment, the mobile house is not beautiful enough, and even with air conditioning, it is very hot and noisy, so she planned to build an office building.
Three floors are enough for the office building, and each floor has an area of at least 300 square meters. The second and third floors are offices for various departments, and the first floor is used as a staff canteen and activity room. There are some books in the activity room so that employees can read books in their spare time.
According to the previous construction project cost, it would cost one million to build this building (after discount), and it would cost hundreds of thousands to purchase office supplies, so that the newly obtained five million would only be left with more than two million.
She didn't plan to touch the two million yuan, and kept it for emergencies.
As for normal operating cost expenditures, they can be deducted from daily revenue.
Li Yaolin checked the daily revenue and was prepared for a decrease in revenue. However, she didn't expect that after entering September, the number of student tourists decreased sharply, while the ticket revenue actually increased!
Through financial analysis, she found that this was most likely because after the students returned to school, fewer half-price tickets were sold and more full-price tickets were sold. - In the past, three hundred student tourists could only bring in three thousand yuan in ticket revenue, but now one hundred and fifty ordinary tourists can have the same revenue.
What's more interesting is that after the number of student tourists decreased, the number of ordinary tourists increased, and a considerable number of them were middle-aged people.
Li Yaolin suddenly thought of a joke on the Internet, which roughly means that after the children start school, parents happily send their children away, then arrange dates, start travel activities, and enjoy a leisurely life...
Now seeing this data, she thinks this joke is probably true.
Another part is retired middle-aged and elderly people. In addition to leisure travel, they come to the island and have heard rumors about the effectiveness of making wishes on Xingzhou Island. They come here specifically for superstition.
If they were not found to be carrying lighters, incense, paper money and other suspicious items when they passed the security check on the island, they would have to burn incense and paper money on the island.
Some people even left messages in the tourist suggestion box, asking Xingzhou Island to build a wishing tree or put a tripod so that they have a place to burn paper and burn incense.
Li Yaolin: "..."
I suggest you stop making suggestions.
In short, in the first half of September, Xingzhou Island's ticket revenue was about 10,000 yuan every weekday; on weekends, except for the second-to-last and last boats in the afternoon, there were still 30 to 40 tickets left, and the rest of the boats were almost full. There were more than 800 tourists a day, and the ticket revenue was more
than 15,000 yuan. In the past half month, the number of tourists reached 9,000, and the ticket revenue was about 175,000 yuan. According to the agreement between Xingzhou Island and the nature reserve, 9,000 yuan of it belonged to the nature reserve.
Not to mention that with the blessing of Poseidon, she also received a 900,000 yuan project subsidy from the number of tourists. She can receive nearly 2 million subsidies every month.
She decided to save these subsidies, and build a hotel when she had saved 20 million!
The revenue of the convenience store is relatively stable, probably because the number of student tourists who are the main consumers of snacks and drinks has decreased, and the newly added middle-aged tourists are not the main consumers of these products.
But the sales of bread have increased significantly, making up for the revenue difference of snacks and drinks.
Regarding the sales of bread, at first tourists bought bread to feed seabirds, because the seabirds on Xingzhou Island are willful and don’t eat bread crumbs bought outside.
Later, they felt that the seabirds had worked so hard to promote the convenience stores on the island, and if they didn’t buy some to eat themselves, it seemed a bit sorry for the seabirds’ advertisements.
Anyway, the things sold in the convenience store on Xingzhou Island are not expensive, so why not buy some and try them! There are advertisements for Seabird, so at least there is no need to worry about food safety issues.
Li Yaolin: "..."
This is really something she didn't understand. After all, the bread in her store is purchased from wholesale from outside and is not a product produced by Poseidon Market.
However, on the issue of food safety, she and the tourists have the same idea. She also doesn't want Xingzhou Island to be exposed to food safety issues, so the manufacturers she finds are all screened by the little mermaid, and their reputation and credibility are very reliable.
In addition to tickets and convenience stores, the most profitable project of Xingzhou Island is the fishing gear and fish bait sold on the e-commerce platform, with daily sales of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.
The daily operating costs of Xingzhou Island are paid from the above income, and it can barely maintain a balance between income and expenditure at present.
As for the revenue from the diving center and boat tickets, although they were also counted in the system, that part of the profit still had to be shared with others, so Li Yaolin did not touch that part of the money.
After the infrastructure was built, the island information on the APP was updated:
[Island] Xingzhou Island
[Island Owner] Li Yaolin +
[Area] 4.3 square kilometers (430 hectares: island land area 220 hectares/sea area 210 hectares)
[Development Progress] Infrastructure +45% (1 reservoir, 3 public toilets, simple pier, gate, power system, 5KM road and supporting facilities, sunshade, convenience store, employee dormitory, reception hall building complex, hatchery, 30 holiday homes, seafood buffet restaurant, office building)
Recreational facilities +10% (level 3 fishing grounds, level 3 white sand beaches, level 1 diving base, level 1 camping area)
Environmental protection facilities +12% (no fishing area, municipal marine ecological special protection area)
[Operation level] Level 3+
[Rating] None
[Poseidon satisfaction] 34
...
Li Yaolin was a little confused: "After building so many infrastructure, the progress is only 45%? Could it be that the site has become larger, so the corresponding calculation method has also changed?"
Neither the system nor the mermaid would give her an answer, so she stopped thinking about it.
She noticed that in addition to the white beach, the diving base also had a prompt at the back that it could be upgraded. In fact, the news that the diving base could be upgraded was several days ago. At that time, she was thinking about planning the opening of the buffet restaurant, so she forgot about it.
The response to the diving base is very good now. Tourists who have experienced it all say it is good, and the number of visitors is still growing steadily. There are not enough diving instructors and divemasters, so the store manager had to recruit two more.
Li Yaolin does not have to worry that the upgraded white sand beach will steal customers from the diving store, so she simply upgraded these two attractions.
"White Sand Beach has been successfully upgraded to Level 4, becoming a premium tourist attraction!"
[White Sand Beach (Premium)]
Popularity value: 20579
Pollution index: 1 (slightly polluted)
Operating cost: 10,000 yuan/day
"Level 1 diving base has been successfully upgraded!"
[Diving Base (Level 2)]
Popularity value: 324/1000
Pollution index: 26 (Level 3 pollution)
Operating cost: 6,000 yuan/day
"White Sand Beach became a premium tourist attraction after being upgraded to Level 4, but the upgrade limit for fishing grounds is Level 3, and it cannot become a premium tourist attraction... Can I understand that this is related to the ecological environment?" Li Yaolin pondered.
The higher the grade of the fishing ground, the better the fish conditions, and more people will flock to fish. If everyone uses the bait from Xingzhou Island, won't all the fish on Xingzhou Island be caught?
White Beach is different. The higher its grade, the lower the pollution index, and the better the ecological environment.
As for what is different about the special white beach from the past, she is not sure yet.
At this time, on the white beach, Zhang Mei was lying under an umbrella, watching her daughter and husband playing on the beach from a distance, with a happy smile on her face.
She has become a frequent visitor to Xingzhou Island, coming here once or twice a month, sometimes with her husband and daughter, and sometimes with her parents and friends.
Every time she comes, Xingzhou Island can give her a different experience. Xingzhou Island has changed so much that she was afraid that she would not recognize the island if she did not come for a long time.
Also, it was getting harder and harder to get tickets to Xingzhou Island. Sometimes she had to start buying tickets three days in advance
. This time she finally got the tickets. Her husband was busy and she insisted that he turn down unnecessary social engagements and accompany her. In fact, she did not really want someone to accompany her. She mainly wanted her husband to help look after their daughter while she enjoyed her leisure time.
The temperature in the oil market had reached 35℃, but on Xingzhou Island, she felt that the temperature was always below 29℃. With the comfortable sea breeze, she felt a little sleepy.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly felt something moving under her. She got up in horror and lifted the mattress to take a look, but found nothing.
She lay back in confusion, and the next second she felt herself lying on a massage chair, with something pushing and massaging her shoulders and back, which slowly relaxed her stiff muscles and bones from long-term desk work.
"No, how could I have fallen asleep?!" Zhang Mei was startled, and she got up again and lifted the mattress to check, but no matter whether she was digging sand or digging a hole, there was no living creature on the white beach. It lay quietly on the island, allowing Zhang Mei to torment her.
Zhang Mei: "Am I hallucinating?"
Soon she found that this was not her hallucination, because other tourists also discovered the "abnormality" of the white beach.
They didn't feel anything unusual when running, playing, or sitting on the beach. Only when they lay down did they vaguely feel the white sand moving, and the movement was irregular, like a massage chair running at a low frequency.
Everyone agreed that the white sand could - massage!
