The appearance of "Sea Fire" made the holiday cabins and camping areas of Xingzhou Island fully booked during the National Day. Lin Qitong also saw in the group she had set up to promote the video that some donkey friends called girls to join the camping group, because the more people camping, the more money
they can save. This call received a lot of responses, because these people wanted to spend the night on Xingzhou Island, but they couldn't get a holiday cabin or a camping spot. Now that they saw someone who could join the group, what were they hesitating about? !
Some confused netizens in the group asked them: "Aren't you afraid of danger when camping with strangers?"
The donkey friend who called people to form a team said: "If we were camping in the wild, I would be really worried, but there is no need to worry about these when camping on Xingzhou Island. It's just that taking a shower when camping is a little troublesome, I don't know if you can bear it."
"I once rode from Chengdu to Lhasa and didn't take a shower for half a month, so it's just that the shower conditions are a little worse, what are you afraid of?!"
Group friends: "..."
I can smell the smell through the screen.
Lin Qitong told Li Yaolin about the situation and asked, "Will there be no limit on the number of people? What if a small camping area is crowded with twelve people? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?"
"As long as it's not too exaggerated, let them be! At worst, we can set up a registration system, and those who are not registered will be treated as illegal visitors."
"You are surprisingly generous in this regard!"
Li Yaolin asked her, "Why am I stingy in other things?"
"I didn't say you are stingy, I just think you are not the kind of person who would do business at a loss."
Li Yaolin smiled and said, "In fact, what you said is only a minority of cases. We can't increase the camping costs for others because of these minority cases.
"Besides, when I was planning the camping area, I asked someone to calculate the area and layout of these camping sites. A medium camping site can accommodate a large tent, but a small camping site cannot accommodate a medium tent because the positions of the ground pegs are fixed.
"But our camping area has the most small camping sites, so if we control this, there won't be any big problems. Of course, when we launch the camping project, we will also have a 'warm reminder' to inform tourists in advance."
Lin Qitong: "..."
I am too young.
She said, "That's not right. What if there are more than 20 people living in the big tent? That means 200 people in 10 camping areas!"
"Under what circumstances do you think would more than 20 people camp together?"
"Company team building, student travel, etc." "
Then what do you think of the proportion of such group camping?"
Lin Qitong thought for a while: "It seems... not common."
"That's right! And if it's a company team building, but more than 20 employees are arranged to squeeze into one tent, what do you think the employees will think?"
"This company is too stingy."
"So only students can tolerate this environment. But, here comes the question, how can they ensure that everyone can grab tickets and book a large camping spot?"
Lin Qitong: "..."
According to the current ticket sales situation of Xingzhou Island, especially under the situation of limiting the number of new visitors to the island to 2,000 per day, Xingzhou Island does not have any group tickets, so it is not easy to get everyone to grab tickets.
As for the situation of the donkey friends in the group calling people to form a team, even if they can call people to form a team, they will not call too many people to save money. If there are too many people, the quality of camping will be reduced. What's the point of camping?
Well, it turns out that she was worrying about nothing.
"How was your team yesterday? I heard your fans increased by tens of thousands?"
When the popular science blogger was live, Lin Qitong also became a little famous, especially because her personal short video account has many of her work vlogs, which satisfy netizens' curiosity about the inside of Xingzhou Island, so she gained 20,000 fans all of a sudden.
Many new fans watched every one of her work vlogs, and every time they saw a girl appearing on the screen, they had to guess whether this was the legendary island owner. Some fans also found a video she made in June to promote Xingzhou Island, in which Li Yaolin also flashed by.
Someone still wanted to guess again: "Is that the owner of the island?"
However, another netizen replied to her: "No, that's the manager of the convenience store on Xingzhou Island."
"I've been to Xingzhou Island, and the convenience store manager doesn't look like this."
"The person in the store now is a cashier, and the manager hasn't been in charge of the store for a long time."
"That's right, how could an island owner be so free to be a convenience store manager."
Lin Qitong: "..."
Congratulations to the netizens for perfectly missing the correct answer.
She said, "You didn't see what they looked like after they came out of the dive. Even the knowledgeable science blogger was a little dumbfounded. After returning, he never said anything about plankton harming the marine ecology again. Also, after the five lucky winners experienced diving, three of them signed up for the OW+AOW course. They were completely addicted to diving."
"I believe that after this, there will be much less doubt about the diving area."
Li Yaolin can start the next project with confidence.
She had previously asked Manager Qi and the head of the recreation project management team to discuss the formulation of the boat fishing project. After investigation, they combined the fish catch situation of the Xingzhou Island fishing ground and gave the boat fishing cost and specific management methods.
The recreation project supervisor said: "Since this project has just started, we can't take too big a step at once, so we will first rent or buy a boat as the main vehicle for boat fishing, and then set the price at 168 yuan per person. Including the round-trip time, you can experience three hours of sea fishing in total."
Li Yaolin asked: "168 yuan, does it include fishing gear and bait?"
"Fishing gear is provided, but bait is sold separately." The recreation project supervisor still knows the market price of bait on Xingzhou Island. He wants the 168 yuan to include bait. Isn't this a loss-making transaction?
Li Yaolin said: "But ordinary tourists don't know the price of our bait. If they need to buy bait separately, then boat fishing will not be attractive to them."
Manager Qi suddenly had an idea and said: "Mr. Li means that we should distinguish between ordinary tourists and professional anglers?"
"That's not the case. Ordinary tourists will not bring fishing rods to the island, and professional anglers generally do not use our fishing gear. So we can provide lures, so that ordinary tourists don't have to buy bait and can still experience the fun of sea fishing. As for professional anglers, they know what they are doing and don't need our guidance."
The director of the amusement project questioned: "Then why don't we just separate ordinary tourists from professional anglers? We can provide charter services so that professional anglers can charter boats to go fishing at sea."
"I understand!" Manager Qi said, "If ordinary tourists have never been exposed to lure fishing, it is difficult to catch fish. If a boat fishes for three hours without catching any fish, it will hit the confidence of tourists and make them feel that boat fishing is a very boring and uninteresting sport, thus losing interest in boat fishing. But if there are professional anglers on the same boat and they can catch fish, it will give tourists confidence and make them think that they can also catch fish. Come on, maybe some tourists would be willing to spend a few dozen more bucks to buy bait?"
The director of the attraction understood: "Oh, this is the so-called 'catfish effect', right?!"
Manager Qi smiled and touched his big flat head: "Don't you say that Mr. Li is a god? He thinks farther than us!"
The director of the attraction also looked impressed: "It's Mr. Li!"
Li Yaolin: "..."
Although I do have this consideration, aren't you too democratic?
Li Yaolin was so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground. To hide her embarrassment, she took out the sea map of Xingzhou Island and said, "Now all the entertainment projects on Xingzhou Island are concentrated in the west. The north is a conservation area and there is no possibility of development here. The east and south are too unpopular and the utilization rate is also low. So if we want to expand outward, the trial fishing point can be set up on the east side of the island..."
There are lancelets in the south, and who knows if it will be restricted from development one day, so that area cannot be the main direction of development. The east is just right.
Li Yaolin circled an area and said, "Let's use this area. We will put buoys at both ends and don't go over the buoys when sailing."
Manager Qi asked, "Isn't it too close?"
"The right to use this sea area still belongs to Xingzhou Island, but not to the sea areas farther away. It's dangerous with the boats going out to sea to fish. If anything happens in this area, it can be handled in time."
Manager Qi and the director of the amusement project had no other opinions, so Li Yaolin planned the designated area on the APP. This area happened to be the area that had not been included in the no-fishing zone after the sea area was newly added.
The system prompted, "Do you want to spend 50,000 yuan to establish a boat fishing spot?"
Li Yaolin chose "yes".
The system prompted again: "Establishment successful! An existing sea fishing ground project has been detected. The boat fishing point can be merged with the project. Do you want to merge it?"
Merge into the sea fishing ground?
What are the benefits?
Li Yaolin thought, both boat fishing and shore fishing belong to sea fishing, and they can indeed be merged into the project, but will there be any traps here?
After hesitating for a moment, Li Yaolin finally chose to trust the system and chose to merge boat fishing into the management of the sea fishing ground.
"Merge successful, please check [Sea Fishing Ground] + for details."
Li Yaolin found that when the marine area function was divided, although the boat fishing point and the sea fishing ground were not connected, the functional area code was the same, and the operating cost of the [Sea Fishing Ground] was only two thousand more than before.
[Sea Fishing Ground (Level 3)] +
Popularity: 12458
Pollution Index: 10 (Level 1 Pollution)
Operating Cost: 7000 yuan/day
Li Yaolin said to himself: "In this case, if we don't use Poseidon brand bait, I'm afraid the catch won't be very good!"
Who cares!
Not using Poseidon brand bait doesn't mean that we can't catch fish. Some people can still catch fish, but the fish they catch are either inedible or more common fish.
After Li Yaolin develops the boat fishing spot, he will mark the remaining area as a no-fishing zone, so that only people who experience boat fishing can get better fish near the boat fishing spot.
Li Yaolin rented two fishing boats from a shipping company. The maximum number of people that a fishing boat can carry is only 15. The rental fee for one boat is 80,000 yuan a year, and the lease is for five years.
The fishing equipment was arranged, and the next step was to promote sea fishing.
However, on the second day of the promotion of boat fishing on Xingzhou Island and two days before National Day, Li Yaolin heard from the fisherman Lao Li that many boatmen near the pier began to imitate Xingzhou Island to launch a sea fishing project of "5 hours of high-quality sea fishing, 100 yuan per person".
Moreover, they used the vague words "near the waters of Xingzhou Island" in a very cowardly way. Tourists only saw the three words "Xingzhou Island" that were magnified, and thought they were in the waters of Xingzhou Island, thus ignoring the fact that this boat fishing project had nothing to do with Xingzhou Island.
In contrast, the three-hour boat fishing in Xingzhou Island costs 168 yuan per person, so the package they offer seems to be much more favorable.
Not to mention, some individual tourists who decided to visit Xingzhou Island on a whim but couldn't buy tickets were really tempted. After paying the money and getting on the boat, and waiting for the boatman to gather ten people, they were pulled to the sea near Xingzhou Island for sea fishing.
Without anyone to guide them, not only did they not catch anything, but they were also fooled into buying bait at a high price on the boat. They didn't have to buy it, but if they had any needs, the boatman would ignore them, making them feel the cold violence from the boatman.
In addition, the agreed five hours often ended up with tourists asking to return early for various reasons such as hunger, urination, thirst, etc., so including the round-trip time, four hours was already considered long.
They wasted four hours and a hundred dollars on the sea, but there was no scenery, no sea fishing experience, and they had to endure the sultry weather and salty sea breeze. It was really a waste of money!
Although they blamed the boatman for deceiving them, they also complained about Xingzhou Island. They felt that the water of Xingzhou Island was not very clean from what they saw with their naked eyes. The exaggerations on the Internet turned out to be false!
Li Yaolin went to Captain Pan to report the situation. Captain Pan said: "We have received reports a long time ago, but they are not deceiving people. After all, there is no regulation that the boat must ensure that tourists can catch fish, right? And their publicity is considered to be riding on the popularity of Xingzhou Island. It does not violate the law and cannot be stopped."
"Do they have a business license?"
Captain Pan said, "The Sea Fishing Club has relevant certificates. Many of those boatmen have cooperated with the Sea Fishing Club. The club provides the dock, and the boatmen recommend their own bait to tourists when they go fishing. The money from the bait belongs to the club, and the boatmen get a commission. The income from tourists renting the boat belongs to the boatmen, and the boatmen give the club some dock rental fees." Even
if a boat only goes out to sea twice a day and takes ten tourists each time, it will have an income of 2,000 yuan. After deducting the cost, it will have a profit of more than 1,500 yuan. The profit from a single trip to the sea for fishing may not be that much. No wonder the boatmen are willing to cooperate with the Sea Fishing Club.
Li Yaolin laughed. It's really interesting. It turns out that the opponent this time is the Sea Fishing Club.
