As the lights came on, Yu Fan drove to a big hotel in the city center to attend a dinner party hosted by his friends. When he entered the private room, he heard laughter and chatter inside, and it was very lively. He asked with a smile: "What are you talking about so happily?"
The laughter stopped, and a business partner said awkwardly: "Boss Chen made a fortune recently, and we were just talking to him about it."
Yu Fan looked at a pot-bellied man and asked: "That's worth celebrating. I wonder what business Boss Chen is doing recently?"
Boss Chen smiled and waved his hands: "There is no business, I just made a bet with someone and won tens of thousands of yuan."
A man who didn't get along with Yu Fan looked at him with a squinting look and teased: "Boss Yu, I didn't expect you to be in the mood to attend the meeting tonight."
Yu Fan was unhappy in his heart, but he smiled and said: "If I didn't feel like attending the meeting just because you were there, you would definitely think I was afraid of you, right?"
The mortal enemy frowned.
Yu Fan sneered and didn't take the other party seriously. The feud between him and the other party has been going on for many years. The two met because of sea fishing, and later they set up a sea fishing club together to seize the sea fishing market in the oil market. As a result, due to various reasons, the other party withdrew, and he slowly expanded the club.
Now he is worth tens of millions and has status and position, but the other party has always been brooding over it because of jealousy, and dislikes him. Every time they meet in public, they are bound to be on edge. Unfortunately, both of them have common circles, and it is impossible to completely stop interacting.
Of course, this was just Yu Fan's unilateral idea. Others had heard about their past grievances. Some people thought that Yu Fan was not kind. He had been ostentatious and forced the other party to retreat at the beginning of the club's development, while he was pretending to be a white lotus here. Others thought that doing business should be as ruthless as Yu Fan. How could one become a successful businessman without being black-hearted? The enemy
suddenly smiled. This smile made Yu Fan feel a little creepy. He felt that the other party's mental state was getting worse.
The enemy said out of the blue: "You shouldn't know the news that Xingzhou Island caught a 'yellowfin tuna king' weighing more than 200 kilograms. You shouldn't know it yet?" Yu Fan
's smile froze, and then he stared at his enemy fiercely, wanting to know if he was lying to him and wanted to make a fool of himself. But no one present showed any surprise, but was secretly observing his reaction.
He immediately realized that everyone knew about this, and he was the last one to know!
He was ashamed and angry in his heart, but kept smiling on his face: "Just catch it, what's the big deal? I, Yu Fan, have seen everything in the world. It's just a tuna weighing more than 200 kilograms. I have seen bluefin tuna weighing 500 kilograms."
Boss Chen was relieved when he saw this and said, "I knew you were generous. When we first learned that Xingzhou Island was going to hold such an event, we made a bet to see if Xingzhou Island could catch more than 100 kilograms this time. Tuna, those under 100 jins don’t count. I bet that Xingzhou Island could catch tuna over 200 jins, and luckily I made tens of thousands of dollars, haha!”
Knowing that Xingzhou Island could catch tuna under 100 jins, people naturally wouldn’t question whether there were tuna in the waters of Xingzhou Island, but many people were also not optimistic about Xingzhou Island. Only Boss Chen bet that Xingzhou Island could catch 200 jins of tuna, and now he made the right bet, and his stake has multiplied several times.
His mortal enemy sneered, “You talk like everyone has seen tuna before, and I’ve even eaten it in a high-end Japanese restaurant! You didn’t catch it, how dare you bring it up?”
Under the table, Yu Fan’s clenched fists had turned white, and his back teeth were almost broken.
This group of guys are really businessmen who forget their principles when they see profit. They dine and drink with him and say that they will definitely stand on the same side with him to deal with Xingzhou Island, and then they bet on Xingzhou Island. Are they making money on both sides? !
He just congratulated Boss Chen, isn't this just a slap in his face? No wonder his mortal enemy laughed so loudly, it was such a great irony!
Yu Fan was able to keep his composure in front of everyone and not let others laugh at him, but after leaving the dinner, he could no longer remain calm, and his face was twisted and distorted because of shame.
He opened V blog and the sea fishing forum in the oil market, and there were news everywhere about a 220-pound tuna caught in the waters of Xingzhou Island. It can be imagined that the morning news on the oil market TV station will definitely report this incident tomorrow morning.
The reputation of the "Tuna Cup" event spread and became known to netizens across the country. The signboard of Xingzhou Island's sea fishing project became more and more famous. It can be expected that various advertisers and investors will turn their attention to Xingzhou Island and ask Xingzhou Island to help them advertise.
Although Xingzhou Island has its own brand, "Poseidon" fishing gear and bait. But if we look at it in the long term, sunscreen brands, fishing boat brands, and even functional drinks can all use this as an entry point to invest in advertising!
And as Xingzhou Island's sea fishing project becomes more and more popular, its commercial value will become higher and higher. When people mention going out to sea to fish, they will definitely mention Xingzhou Island. Even if the club organizes another sea fishing competition, the results will be compared with the "Golden Tuna Cup" held in Xingzhou Island.
Xingzhou Island has become "someone else's child", but this "someone else's child" was forced out by him.
If you ask him if he regrets it, he will definitely say that he regrets it.
To make matters worse, he received a call from the president of the Provincial Leisure Fishing Association.
The president said that the relevant national departments are planning to hold some activities to promote the "Northern Bay City Cluster", and their fishing association has also received relevant tasks, planning to organize a Northern Bay fishing competition and invite representatives of anglers from the Northern Bay City Cluster to participate in the competition, and the location is chosen to be Xingzhou Island.
The president remembered that he was from the oil market and had a wide network of contacts in the oil market, so he asked him to contact Xingzhou Island and obtain Xingzhou Island's consent to host the competition in that sea area.
Yu Fan: "..."
Can he tell the president that he and Xingzhou Island are mortal enemies?
He dared to guarantee that as long as he dared to tell the truth, he would not have to be the "Executive Vice President of the Provincial Leisure Fishing Association".
But asking him to lower his status and find Xingzhou Island for cooperation is tantamount to actively stretching his face forward and letting Xingzhou Island rub it hard on the ground!
He was in a very bad mood and began to settle accounts: the employee who was arranged by him to watch the live broadcast was fired because he did not tell him the news in time, which made him lose the best reaction time.
The rest of the employees were also angered and reprimanded by him.
As for the fishermen who took his money, he questioned them and asked them why they took the money but did not do anything.
Several fishermen returned the money to him and quit the club, saying, "We were really blinded by greed to take your money. You should find someone else to do this kind of thing in the future!"
God knows how ashamed they felt when they saw the two-meter-long, 220-pound tuna being caught!
It turned out that the special guests were really here to help Xingzhou Island, and they were just here to make up the numbers. I'm afraid Xingzhou Island knew they were bribed a long time ago, so they arranged the special guests to guard against them!
For the sake of the five thousand yuan, they not only became enemies with Lao Li, but also betrayed his trust. In the future, Lao Li would probably not take the initiative to invite them to participate in such activities.
When Yu Fan came to question them, they were also furious and simply made peace with each other.
...
Li Yaolin was not aware of the internal strife in the sea fishing club.
After catching this "golden tuna king", all her energy was on dealing with advertisers, investors and handling the follow-up of this activity.
Not all advertisers came for the sea fishing project. Some diving equipment manufacturers also wanted the diving shop on Xingzhou Island to sell their diving equipment.
In fact, Yu Fan underestimated the commercial value of this event on Xingzhou Island. Its appreciation is not only reflected in the sea fishing project, but also in other projects related to the sea, which are also very popular and have been seen by more and more merchants and manufacturers.
But no matter which project is popular, it is the brand of Xingzhou Island that has appreciated in the end, so diving equipment manufacturers want to set up diving shops, merchants selling specialty products want to open specialty stores on the island, and even skin care brands want to occupy a billboard on the island.
In this regard, Li Yaolin's attitude is still - advertising is fine, but opening a store is out of the question. Of course
, there are also requirements for advertising on Xingzhou Island. The minimum requirement is that the product has no safety or quality problems, and the brand image cannot be too bad.
As too many advertisers came to seek cooperation, Li Yaolin wanted to set up another advertising project team to be responsible for advertising review, bidding and other matters. In
addition to these advertisers, there were also a group of businesses that wanted to contact the "female fisherman who caught the tuna". They couldn't find Li Yaolin himself, so they called Manager Qi, who was in charge of external contacts at Xingzhou Island, hoping that Manager Qi would help them get the "tuna king".
Manager Qi rejected them on the spot: "I'm sorry, we at Xingzhou Island have already bought this fish and will serve it in our buffet restaurant. We are sorry that we can't sell it to you."
Although these merchants were very disappointed, they did not show any dissatisfaction and said: "If you have tuna for sale in the future, please contact me."
Manager Qi did not dare to make any promises and could only respond vaguely.
The next day, after Manager Qi came to work, he complained to Li Yaolin with dark circles under his eyes: "My phone didn't stop ringing last night. They were all from Japanese restaurants, big hotels, and big fish dealers, trying to contact you to buy that tuna."
Li Yaolin sympathized with him and said, "Why don't you go to the employee dormitory to get some sleep?"
Manager Qi: "No need for that."
Li Yaolin nodded: "The peak fishing season for tuna has just passed, and there are very few large tuna on the market. At least, they certainly don't want to miss this tuna. "
Manager Qi said: "That's right, Wen Denglai Hotel is even willing to offer 25,000! I heard that their hotel has several 'international friends' who came to inspect the petrochemical project, and they are looking for high-quality ingredients to entertain them!"
If Li Yaolin was just an ordinary fisherman, she would definitely be tempted, but unfortunately these merchants didn't know that she wanted to exchange more benefits than exchanging this tuna for 25,000 yuan in cash.
She said: "The seafood buffet can make more than this amount."
After learning that there was a limited supply of tuna in the next two days, many tourists went to the buffet restaurant door early to line up for seats.
——Not everyone likes to eat tuna, but from the perspective of public psychology and atmosphere, when choosing a dining place, they will unconsciously prefer restaurants with many people.
In addition, the number of tourists received during the National Day increased, which doubled the number of tourists dining at the seafood buffet restaurant.
On weekdays, the restaurant only received about 800 customers a day. But starting from the first day of the National Day, the number of diners has never been less than 1,200.
Under this circumstance, the seafood buffet restaurant's daily turnover exceeded 350,000 yuan, and after deducting costs, the net profit was about 100,000 yuan.
After the news that the tuna caught in the Xingzhou Island fishing activity will be limited in supply in the buffet restaurant spread, the number of people dining per day in the next two days is expected to exceed 1,500, and the profit generated by then will be far more than 25,000 yuan.
Of course, Li Yaolin did not calculate this account. Although she has been learning how to become a better profiteer, no, a more qualified island owner, she also knows that she cannot master all the knowledge. As a boss, she still needs to know how to use people well and put the right people in the right positions.
Since the establishment of the department, Manager Qi and several supervisors have contributed a lot. Li Yaolin thinks it is time to give them a promotion.
The department was established in a hurry, and many positions and responsibilities were gradually established and improved during this period. The managers and project supervisors of each department are also the middle and high-level management talents that Li Yaolin has reserved for the improvement of the organizational structure. Sooner or later, there will be changes in positions.
It just so happens that the long holiday is the period that tests the ability and professional quality of the scenic area management level personnel. After the National Day, it will be clear which people can be entrusted with important tasks and which people need to be further examined.
Before that, Li Yaolin was more concerned about the progress of the National Day "special mission".
Tourist reception: 10,107 people
Popularity: 30%
Search: 8.79 million times
Attention: 840,000
Topic participation: 3.82 million
The National Day check-in event caused the search, attention and topic participation data of Xingzhou Island to surge. After the news report of "Golden Tuna King" came out last night, it gained popularity again. Currently, on some software recommendations, Xingzhou Island temporarily ranks second among the popular scenic spots in the oil market.
The first is naturally Yuhai Park, whose average daily tourist reception has exceeded 100,000. Although Xingzhou Island has high search index and media index, the number of tourists received is a "hard injury". And as a 4A-level scenic spot that has been developed for a long time, Yuhai Park is definitely well-known nationwide.
Although there would be no loss even if this task was not completed, when Li Yaolin was competitive, she was really unwilling to be left behind... She decided to apply for a rating for Xingzhou Island after the National Day. It was okay if the rating was low, and she could just slowly improve the rating!
Just when Li Yaolin changed her previous Buddhist management style and prepared to be more proactive, Fang Xinhua suddenly called her.
Li Yaolin asked, "Mr. Fang, are you back from abroad?"
Fang Xinhua went abroad to inspect tourism projects with the investment inspection team of Mandarin Travel Agency before the National Day, so he was unable to catch up when the Xingzhou Island Seafood Buffet Restaurant opened.
Not only did he not catch up, he also knew it late. He only knew about the opening of the restaurant when he saw that Xingzhou Island was on the hot search again.
He called Li Yaolin and told him that Li Yaolin was not kind enough for not informing him of the opening ceremony in advance so that he could clear his schedule to attend the opening ceremony or send him a flower basket for the opening ceremony.
In fact, Li Yaolin didn't think too much about it. She said, "It's just a small buffet restaurant. How can I dare to ask Mr. Fang to change the already arranged schedule for this? Mr. Fang's intention is enough."
Only then did she send Fang Xinhua away.
This time Fang Xinhua didn't play polite with Li Yaolin. He said, "I'm still abroad. The main reason I came to you this time is that I just found out about the "good things" Yu Fan did."
Hearing this, Li Yaolin leaned back in the chair, holding the mobile phone in one hand and playing with the pen on the table with the other.
"From what I heard, Mr. Fang knows him?"
"We've dealt with each other before. After all, we're in the same business, so it's inevitable that we have some overlap in the circle." Fang Xinhua said, "But I really didn't know about his plan to target Xingzhou Island. If I knew, I would have dissuaded him a long time ago."
Li Yaolin believed what he said. After all, part of his interests were directly linked to Xingzhou Island. If there was negative news about Xingzhou Island, his interests would definitely be damaged.
Li Yaolin said, "Mr. Fang can rest assured. He can't threaten Xingzhou Island for the time being."
Fang Xinhua was certainly at ease. He didn't know about others, but how capable was Li Yaolin, the mysterious island owner with a strong background? He had suffered a setback, but he also tasted the sweetness in the subsequent cooperation. How could he not know?
Going against Li Yaolin will not only not give you much advantage, but also bring you no benefit.
This time, Yu Fan called him, hoping that he would ask Li Yaolin to agree to the Provincial Recreation Fishing Association to hold a fishing competition on Xingzhou Island. He said that although Li Yaolin was a smart person, he was easy to get along with in private, so he asked him to take the initiative to contact him, and maybe they could cooperate in the future. Yu
Fan hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "What cooperation? My relationship with Xingzhou Island is like fire and water."
Fang Xinhua then learned that Yu Fan felt threatened by the development of the boat fishing project on Xingzhou Island, so he joined forces with the surrounding fishermen to bring bad things to Xingzhou Island.
Of course, Yu Fan found a lot of excuses for his behavior, but Fang Xinhua still heard the more realistic version from others.
He couldn't help scolding Yu Fan and said, "Do you really want to be so overbearing? Do you really want to monopolize the fishing project in the oil market and become the king of fishing in the oil market? Why are you so petty?"
Yu Fan retorted, "You are still talking about me. Didn't you also want to bite off a piece of meat directly from Li Yaolin? In the end, not only did you fail, but you also lost the actual control of Qianlai Travel."
Fang Xinhua: "..."
He retorted, "At least I know the current situation. I am willing to give up for the sake of money. "You have to save face and lower your profile. Can you do that? If you can, you can still come to me. You should have apologized to others long ago. You have been domineering for so many years and you still haven't changed your style. I think that Lao Zhong, who cooperated with you to open the club, was also driven away by you. This time you have kicked the iron plate, right?"
Yu Fan was a little embarrassed, but he and Fang Xinhua had a lot of interests, and he really couldn't fall out because the other party told the truth. He asked: "Who is the other party?"
"I don't know, but I advise you not to provoke her easily in the future."
Yu Fan felt a little uneasy. Even Fang Xinhua couldn't figure out Li Yaolin's background, which showed that the other party's background was really strong.
Yu Fan said with a sense of luck: "If I go to her head-on, she will definitely ignore me. Why don't you help me say something good first?"
So there was the scene where Fang Xinhua called Li Yaolin.
Li Yaolin did not say whether she would agree to reconcile with Yu Fan. Her focus was on the promotion of the "Northern Bay City Cluster".
Compared with the Greater Bay Area and Qionghai Free Trade Zone, the Northern Bay has never been well-known - the Greater Bay Area has been promoted by CCTV and variety shows, and the Qionghai Free Trade Zone is also in the news every day, but the Northern Bay is basically only mentioned in some local news, and it has a very low sense of existence. It
was only after Li Yaolin came to the oil market that she learned about this urban economic development circle from the official propaganda posters.
Although it is not as prominent as the Greater Bay Area, it is a region planned by the country after all, and its strategic position is extraordinary. If it can provide a venue for this fishing competition, it will naturally have more advantages than disadvantages.
But Li Yaolin didn't want people to think that she agreed to provide the venue because of Yu Fan.
Fang Xinhua, a business veteran, naturally knew how to mediate. He said, "Why don't I organize a dinner party? Mr. Li can meet him and clarify any misunderstandings face to face!"
Unexpectedly, a young girl like Li Yaolin didn't buy it. She said distressedly, "There are a lot of things going on in Xingzhou Island recently, and I have to prepare materials to apply for scenic area rating. I really can't attend Mr. Fang's dinner party. But when Mr. Fang comes back from abroad, he can come to Xingzhou Island to taste our seafood."
Li Yaolin didn't give face, what could Fang Xinhua do? It was impossible for him to offend Li Yaolin for Yu Fan, so he could only express his helplessness to Yu Fan: "If you really want to make peace with her, then show some sincerity and go find her yourself. Why do you come to me?"
Yu Fan didn't expect Li Yaolin to be so arrogant. He even wanted him to go and admit his mistakes to her. Is this possible?
Impossible!
Yu Fan was angry and thought, Xingzhou Island just successfully organized a sea fishing activity. If the fishermen want to go out to sea for deep-sea fishing, don't they have to rent his boat? He hasn't reached the point of being desperate, why should he give up so easily?
Isn't it just the executive vice president of an association? At worst, he can quit and save a lot of membership fees!
Suddenly, he remembered that Fang Xinhua mentioned that Xingzhou Island seemed to be preparing to apply for rating?
He was amused. A scenic spot must be in business for more than one year before it can be rated. Xingzhou Island has only been in business for four months, so it is far from qualified!
Last time at a friend's dinner, he lost face because of Xingzhou Island. This time he was ready to watch the show!
...
Yu Fan, an outsider, knew that a scenic spot must be in business for a full year before it can be rated. Didn't the leaders of the cultural and tourism department who urged Li Yaolin to apply for the rating and the employees of Xingzhou Island know this?
Of course they knew it.
Manager Qi, who knew the development history of Xingzhou Island, said disapprovingly: "Xingzhou Island was developed and operated several years ago. The first island owner went bankrupt, so the island was later taken over by the government. This year, you took over and renamed the island.
"Although the management company is different, we are applying for the scenic spot rating, not the company rating, so it should not be calculated according to the company's qualifications. As far as this scenic spot is concerned, it has been officially opened for business since the moment it was developed."
Li Yaolin: "..."
I didn't expect him to be so cunning, no, explain.
But the relevant departments of the city still recognized this reason, so they urged Li Yaolin to apply for the rating to add luster to the tourism image of the oil city.
Currently, A-level scenic spots can be assessed by the county where the scenic spot is located, 2A and 3A levels are approved by the county and then reported to the province for approval, and 4A level must be assessed by national-level departments.
For the time being, don't think about 5A level. There is no requirement to apply for other levels step by step, but 5A level must be assessed in 4A scenic spots for three years before applying for assessment. ①
Li Yaolin handed the matter over to Manager Qi: "Then you go and prepare the application materials, and apply after the holiday."
"The materials have been prepared a long time ago!" Manager Qi said, "The last time that variety show used the fact that our island was not rated to discredit us, I had already asked people to start preparing the materials, and they are just waiting for your order, the island owner, and these materials will be immediately sent to the evaluation agency for review."
Li Yaolin: "..."
She felt that she could give up her position as general manager to Manager Qi in advance.
The author has something to say:
Little Mermaid: The general manager has been given to Manager Qi, what about you, the island owner?
Island owner: I can also be the chairman. Doesn't Mr. Li sound more prestigious than General Manager Li?
Little Mermaid: Wake up, the company doesn't have a board of directors, so where does the chairman come from?
The island owner: ...
Manager Qi lost the chance to become the general manager because the island owner could not become Mr. Li.
Manager Qi:)
