Things have their priorities.
Some things seem to be urged by many parties, but in fact they can be considered in the long run. For example, increasing flights and further relaxing the number of people entering the island are not things that can be solved in a short time, so they can be put aside
for now. There is also the issue of the source of 30,000 overseas tourists. When she formulates the development plan for Xingzhou Island this year, she can set it as one of the goals to be completed within this year, and then let the employees find ways to achieve it.
Therefore, in addition to the detailed work arrangements of the emergency team, the only thing that needs to be resolved in these meetings is the Spring Festival activities.
Last year's National Day and this year's New Year's Day both held scenic spot check-in and lucky draw activities. Although this activity is nothing new, some management staff still suggested that it should be retained as an activity for major festivals and continue.
"The check-in activity can make tourists actively help us promote and increase our popularity. The lowest cost is just a postcard worth a few cents. I think it is very worthwhile." Manager Gao of the Operations Department said. "
But this activity is really not original. There are only a few scenic spots that can be checked in. Tourists can find them with their eyes closed. How can it be interesting?" Manager Jiang of the Marketing Department retorted.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Manager Gao asked him.
"I suggest holding a Spring Festival treasure hunt. We hide a prize at each scenic spot, and then remind tourists through text messages. Tourists analyze the location of the text reminder, go to the scenic spot by themselves, scan the QR code, and confirm the success of the treasure hunt. Finally, tourists who find all the treasures can participate in the lottery on the spot. The first prize is an annual ticket, and the second prize is a postcard signed and stamped by the island owner..."
When Li Yaolin heard about this activity, her eyes lit up and she thought it was really innovative, but it would require more manpower.
Manager Gao was a little speechless. The other party was talking, but it was their operation department's program and website development team that was working hard.
"Are there enough people? Do you want to recruit a few more people to help?" Li Yaolin asked Manager Gao.
The latter knew as soon as she heard it that Li Yaolin had adopted Manager Jiang's opinion and decided to launch this treasure hunt. She thought for a moment and said, "We have enough manpower."
"Then you can think of two plans."
Manager Gao was a little confused: "Two?"
"There is also a check-in activity. After all, it is the Spring Festival, how can there be less activities? In addition to these two activities, do you have any other creative ideas?" Li Yaolin looked around, hoping that everyone could give more suggestions.
“Hold a photography contest on Xingzhou Island? Take Xingzhou Island as the theme, invite big names in the photography industry to be judges, select the top two or three, give them cash rewards or other rewards, and then collect the photographic works to hold a temporary exhibition.”
“I suggest showing open-air movies in the camping area.”
“You can invite some bands to perform in the Mermaid Square!”
...
The employees had many suggestions and rich ideas. Although Li Yaolin did not adopt all of them, he also praised and encouraged these employees.
After the tasks were assigned, the Little Mermaid also made new progress - the procedures for the more than 10,000 hectares of sea area were completed!
Since more than 4,000 hectares of the sea area were originally open aquaculture areas, the use of the sea area in the protected area must be prioritized, and then the recreational use and aquaculture needs must be guaranteed. Therefore, Li Yaolin designated 3,000 hectares of the sea area as a "green proliferation area."
The so-called "green proliferation" refers to the use of cage aquaculture to increase fishery resources under the premise of protecting marine biodiversity and reducing marine pollution.
【Green Proliferation Zone】
Affinity coefficient: 18Pollution
index: 35 (Level 4 pollution) Operation cost: 5,000 yuan/day Faced with such high operating costs, Li Yaolin has been able to face it calmly and calmly, because although the cost is high, as a proliferation zone, its fishery resources are very rich, and Li Yaolin can put cages here for breeding. A
2,000 cubic meter deep-water cage can raise nearly 100,000 kilograms of fish, and more than 3,000 hectares of sea area can put 300,000 cages... Of course, it is actually impossible to put so many cages, because then the sea will be full of cages and fish, not to mention protecting marine biodiversity, these fish are also prone to suffocation and death due to lack of oxygen. Therefore, in Li Yaolin's conception, deploying ten large deep-water cages would be enough to make back the investment. If you want to make a profit, you can deploy about a hundred cages. In this way, these farmed seafood can not only meet the needs of seafood buffet restaurants, but also be sold to fishmongers, killing two birds with one stone. The use of the remaining sea areas will be studied and planned slowly! ... Another significant benefit of the increase in sea areas is that there are more and farther fishing spots available. Since the five captains of the fishing village, Zhang Yaode, started cooperation with the Xingzhou Sea Fishing Club, the boat fishing project of Xingzhou Island has become more and more popular. Originally, Xingzhou Island rented only two fishing boats from the shipping company. Based on the frequency of three hours per trip, excluding lunch time, a fishing boat can only go out to sea twice a day and can only carry ten tourists at a time, so the maximum number of places for Xingzhou Island's boat fishing project per day is only 40. After cooperating with Zhang Yaode and his team, two boats were guaranteed to be on duty every day, and the number of places for the boat fishing project doubled in an instant. Not only did the popularity of the boat fishing project increase, but Zhang Yaode and other boat bosses also made extra money. Seeing this, the other fishermen also came to Zhang Yaode to ask, asking him to help bridge the gap and see if Xingzhou Island still needs to rent a boat. Zhang Yaode's popularity in the village was already good, and his status has risen even more. It happened that the term of office of the village chief of their village had expired, and a new election meeting would begin in March this year. Several boat captains who followed him persuaded him to participate in the election. In the eyes of many villagers, this village chief was timid and basically did not care about things, and could not restrain the villagers. The fishermen cooperated with the fishing and sailing club to cheat tourists, and the village chief did not come forward to deal with it. Many fishing villages have established fishing cooperatives, going out to sea to fish, renting offshore waters for breeding, and using the advantages of fishing to develop "ecological fishing tourism." Only their village remained silent. Every time they convened a meeting, they could not reach a consensus, so the village chief did not care. Over time, Zhang Yaode became dissatisfied. His relatives and friends think that he has prestige, the ability and courage to do great things, and a long-term vision. If he can become the village chief, he will definitely lead everyone out of poverty and into wealth. If Zhang Yaode can convince Xingzhou Island to cooperate with the fishermen this time, increase their income, and make the fishermen realize that they can have a good life by following him, many people will definitely vote for him in the next election. Zhang Yaode was tempted, so he found Lao Li and tried to find out whether the island owner's attitude towards the fishing village was positive or negative.
Lao Li had been working with him for nearly two months and had dealt with him many times. He had a basic understanding of his character and thought that if he could become the village chief, it would be a good thing for Xingzhou Island. So after learning that the sea area of Xingzhou Island had increased, he mentioned this to Li Yaolin:
"Since the fishing competition, the number of tourists from the Northern Gulf city cluster has increased significantly. In addition, in a season like this that is not suitable for diving, more and more tourists have turned their attention to boat fishing. Even if we have four or five fishing boats, it is still insufficient. Why don't we rent a few more boats? Or we can start a deep-sea fishing project..."
Li Yaolin did not object: "The conditions for starting a deep-sea fishing project are not yet sufficient, but the number of fishing spots can indeed be increased. This sea area is a 'green proliferation zone' with rich fishery resources and is suitable for fishing. Let's rent a few more boats as you said!"
Old Li hesitated and asked, "Is it okay to rent a boat from the fishing village?"
"Has the club been cooperating well with Zhang Yaode recently? Is there any problem?"
"No problem, Zhang Yaode and his team are very cooperative with us to carry out our work."
"That's good, it's a good thing that we can resolve the conflicts with the fishing village. Since the other party is actively seeking cooperation, it's not impossible for us to provide opportunities. As for whether the other party's character and integrity are worthy of our trust, you need to consider it."
"I see."
...
After arranging the Spring Festival service work on the island, Li Yaolin had time to go to Qianlai Travel to discuss whether to increase the number of flights.
Now the flights on Xingzhou Island have been adjusted to every 20 minutes, the first ship will arrive earlier at 7 o'clock, and the last ship will be extended to 6 o'clock in the evening. On weekends and holidays, it will even be adjusted to every 15 minutes.
If the routes are too frequent, the probability of accidents will be greatly increased, and the cost will also increase.
Li Yaolin said: "If we add more flights, we can only open night flights or overnight flights. But there are probably not many tourists who will take the boat to the island at night. Isn't this a pure waste of resources?"
Career manager Peng Shaoyi pondered for a moment and said: "In fact, we can replace the current ship with a double-decker ferry that can carry more tourists, with a maximum capacity of up to 300 people."
"But the speed will decrease, right?"
Peng Shaoyi nodded: "Well, it will take about ten to fifteen minutes longer. But I think this is more cost-effective than adding more flights."
It's a cost-effectiveness, but the time taken by the boat has doubled. How can tourists be happy?
At this time, the leader of the cultural and tourism department brought Li Yaolin a piece of news: the tourist special line that was still being promoted before finally made new progress. The Municipal Transportation Investment Group has determined that several bus routes and tourist special lines will be opened this year, and one of the starting stations of two of the special lines is Biwan High-speed Railway Station.
Li Yaolin was also invited to participate in several meetings to discuss related routes. Only then did she know that some opinions (mainly real estate developers) were to set the terminal station of one of the lines as Liantou Port.
Liantou Port is a newly built port, and its inner side is Liantou Bay opposite Baoren Bay.
Liantou Bay looks like a fishhook on the map, and many real estate projects are located along the coast of this port.
In terms of distance, Lotus Port is closer to Xingzhou Island, which is only 3.5 nautical miles away. The previous owner of the island did not choose Lotus Port when developing Xingzhou Island because Biwan Station had not yet been opened, and the entire area was far from the city and backward as a whole.
Now that Biwan Station has been opened and Xingzhou Island has become more well-known, the source of tourists is no longer limited to the city. Therefore, if the terminal of the tourist line is set at Lotus Port, Xingzhou Island can add a route here.
The driving time from Biwan Station to Lotus Port is 40 minutes, which is 10 minutes slower than to Baoren Port, but it is closer to Xingzhou Island. Even if it is a double-decker ferry with a full load of 300 people as Peng Shaoyi said, it only takes 20 minutes.
Li Yaolin met Fang Xinhua after returning from the meeting. He said, "I also think that the number of flights at Baoren Port should not be increased. We should adjust and relax appropriately. Twenty flights a day, forty round trips, is very reasonable. But we can add a route at Liantou Port, ten flights a day, twenty round trips. What do you think, Mr. Li?"
Li Yaolin: "...Is Mr. Fang also involved in promoting the tourism line?"
Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why it is so coincidental. The shareholders of Qianlai Travel here want to increase flights and increase the company's revenue. The Jiaotong Group wants to make the terminal of the tourist line at Liantou Port...
Fang Xinhua said, "Mr. Li thinks too highly of me. How can I do that? But after all, the company's performance is good, and I am not the only one who is happy! I hope that the company can go further and have closer and long-term cooperation with Xingzhou Island. This is the common wish of all our shareholders!"
Li Yaolin understood after a little thought. After all, Qianlai Tourism still has a part of its shares in the state-owned enterprises controlled by the government. Who would be happy to see that the company can still make money but does not make money?
She said, "I set a threshold for the number of people entering the island at the beginning, no more than 4,000 people per day."
She has not changed her mind about this decision until now.
Fang Xinhua didn't mind: "Gulangyu is smaller than Xingzhou Island, but it still receives about 20,000 to 30,000 tourists every day. During holidays, especially long holidays, it can receive 50,000 people a day."
"Gulangyu is an inhabited island, while Xingzhou Island is an uninhabited island and the area for development and utilization cannot exceed 30% of the total land area of the island. It cannot be the same as Gulangyu."
Fang Xinhua thought about it and felt that it made sense, but he gave another example: "What about Guqizhou Island in Qionghai? It covers an area of only 1.5 square kilometers. During the Spring Festival last year, the total number of tourists received in seven days was nearly 100,000 people, with an average of 14,000 per day. Even on non-holidays, the average daily number of tourists received is nearly 10,000."
Guqizhou Island is a "private island" like Xingzhou Island, but its development history is longer than that of Xingzhou Island. It has been 30 years since then, and it has been in operation to the outside world for 21 years.
Li Yaolin said: "I don't plan to compare with other islands. After the hotel is built, assuming the occupancy rate is 90%, plus tourists in holiday cabins and camping, there will be thousands of tourists staying on the island. If another 4,000 people enter the island every day, there will be 5,000 people. Too many tourists will affect their experience, so I think this number of people on the island is very reasonable."
Fang Xinhua: "..."
He has never seen an entrepreneur who is more people-oriented than Li Yaolin, who pays attention to the experience of tourists and the quality of scenic spots, and can sacrifice profits for this. Fortunately,
after knowing Li Yaolin for more than half a year, he has also become accustomed to her style of doing things and does not find it difficult to accept.
But he knows that even if Li Yaolin has always insisted on receiving no more than 4,000 people per day, there will always be external factors that will make her change her mind.
For example, Jiaotong Group.
If a tourist attraction has only a few thousand tourists every day, and some of the passengers are taken away by travel agencies' direct buses, online ride-hailing vehicles, and taxis, the revenue of the tourist line will inevitably be very low.
If they fail to achieve the expected benefits, they will withdraw this special line, so in order to achieve their goals, they will definitely put pressure on Li Yaolin.
Currently, Xingzhou Island has just been developed, and the bus route is still under discussion, so whether Xingzhou Island restricts the number of people landing on the island is not so important to the stakeholders involved. However, during this discussion, real estate developers, rural scenic spots, etc. will be tied to the interests of the Jiaotong Group. If Li Yaolin does not agree to relax the restrictions, many people will have opinions.
Li Yaolin has a deep background and is not afraid of offending people, but those who follow him to share the cake are afraid!
Fang Xinhua asked her tactfully: "I wonder if Mr. Li is interested in developing other scenic spots besides Xingzhou Island?"
Li Yaolin didn't understand, so he spoke much more bluntly: "There are so many undeveloped beaches in Baoren Port and Liantou Port. I think if Mr. Li can invest in the development of this area, then he won't have to worry about whether to limit the number of people going to the island."
At the same time, stakeholders such as Jiaotong Group can also profit from it and will no longer put pressure on Li Yaolin.
Li Yaolin blinked her eyes: "I wasn't worried about this in the first place!"
Fang Xinhua: "..."
Suddenly, Li Yaolin chuckled and said, "I understand what Mr. Fang means, but if I develop a coastal tourist attraction, tourists can go there to play without taking a boat, then is there a need to add routes and flights? So Mr. Fang is not giving me advice as a shareholder of Qianlai Tourism, but from an investment standpoint, hoping that I can start a new business with you, right?"
Fang Xinhua was hit by her true intention and smiled awkwardly, "I think that with Mr. Li's ability, it's a pity to only develop one island. If the investment and development scope can be expanded, I believe that the coastal tourism status of Youshi will surpass that of Qionghai one day.
"Like the Mandarin Oriental Group, it develops real estate on the one hand and engages in the tourism industry on the other. At present, Biwan Island, Biwan Scenic Tourist Area, Mangrove Special Protection Area in Biwan Harbor, and the film and television base being invested and constructed on the southwest side of Yuhai Park... are all developed by it. Even the reason why Yuhai Park has been developed so beautifully in recent years is inseparable from its support.
"To be honest, I think Ms. Li is fully capable of competing with Wenhua Group."
Li Yaolin twitched her lips.
She has no conflict of interest with Wenhua Group, why should she compete with it?
The author has something to say:
Investor: Your goal should be the stars and the sea!
Island owner: I am just an employee. Don't tell me about projects that require billions of dollars. Tell my boss. Thank you.
Poseidon: ...
-
Small theater: Why don't you invite the band to perform at Mermaid Square?
Island owner: I'm afraid the little mermaid will show up and dance.
Little mermaid: ╭(╯^╰)╮ Humph!
