Li Chao snatched the phone from Zhang Qicheng's hand and said, "What are you talking about? Let me see it."
"No need to look." Xiang Yang said at this time: "This incident is absolutely true. It caused an earthquake in the history of biology at that time. However, because the two octopus cities that were discovered one after another were formed too long ago, many things cannot be verified at all. Therefore, the octopus city incident was finally left unresolved. Because there is no relevant academic paper to support it, it was not widely reported."
Li Chao put down his phone and was silent for a long time before he said, "The world is so big, there are all kinds of things."
"This is the charm of the ocean. The mystery of the ocean has attracted countless people for thousands of years. The mysterious marine creatures, the bizarre underwater world, and the various tropical fish, there is nothing that does not make people fascinated." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
Li Chao smiled at Xiang Yang and said, "Alright, Brother Xiang, stop bragging. We, the investors, have already entered the market and cannot escape. Besides, we are not outsiders. You don't have to be fake with us. Let me tell you the truth. We have decided to invest in the Qinglongwan area, but you can't just rely on us. You have to work hard on many things yourself."
Xiang Yang nodded. He had actually done a lot of things. For example, when the killer whale appeared, it caused quite a stir on the Internet. Many people were asking for the killer whale's specific address and said they wanted to come over to play. But until now, there was still no trace of it.
The group of people had a delicious barbecue meal.
Li Gesheng was still standing on the beach with his cell phone in his hand, babbling non-stop.
Li Chao and the others gathered together and whispered something.
The crew members were chatting in groups of three or four on the beach.
Xiang Yang walked towards Li Gesheng and asked, "Ms. Li, are you going to continue broadcasting live like this in the future?"
Li Gesheng shook his head and smiled: "Of course not."
"So what do you want?" Xiang Yang asked.
Li Gesheng smiled and said, "I have asked someone to send the electronic keyboard and equipment here for me. Brother Yang, please allow me to keep it a secret for now. I hope you can show your support when the time comes."
Xiang Yang nodded. He would definitely support him, otherwise he wouldn't have come over to ask such a question.
"Mr. Xiang, come here." Song Guoning waved to Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang gave Li Gesheng an apologetic look.
Li Gesheng quickly smiled and said, "Brother Yang, you have something important to do over there, go over there quickly."
Xiang Yang then walked towards Song Guoning and said with a smile, "Boss Song, do you want to continue the inspection? Do you want me to take you around the village or continue to the sea?"
Song Guoning waved his hand and said, "We just had a short meeting and found a relatively important problem."
"Oh?" Xiang Yang asked.
Song Guoning asked: "Are there places to shop and eat in your village?"
Hey!
What is Xiang Yang doing
It turns out it’s just shopping and eating!
"Mr. Song, now that you are here, can I let you eat outside? Aren't you scolding me? Or do you think barbecue is not to your taste? I have arranged for someone to stew a pot of fish soup in the evening." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"No, that's not what I meant." Song Guoning quickly shook his head and said, "I'm asking tourists if there are any places to eat and shop when they come to Qinglongwan."
Zhang Qicheng lit a cigarette and took a long puff. "Brother Xiang, if there are tourists coming to Qinglongwan, you have to arrange a place for them to stay, right? There must be a place to eat? There must be a place to buy a bottle of water or a pack of cigarettes, right? Do you invite tourists to eat on your boat every time they come? Or let them stay at your house or the villagers' house?"
Xiang Yang understood what Zhang Qicheng meant, and he looked at Li Chao.
Li Chao shook his head. "Don't look at me. I am going to open a hotel here. But I told you early on that I am going for the high-end route. Normally, most tourists are reluctant to spend money in my store. This is to leave room for you and your fellow villagers to operate. Most of the tourists' food, clothing, housing and transportation still have to be solved by you and your villagers."
"The most important thing is that building a seaside hotel is not as fast as you think. By the time our hotel is built, Qinglongwan may already be overcrowded. Before that, you have to tell us the details of how tourists will eat, stay and shop. Will you do it yourself or attract foreign investment?" Song Guoning said.
Xiang Yang felt very troubled for a moment.
Xiang Yang had to do all this himself, but firstly, he didn't understand it and secondly, he didn't have the time.
But if these are contracted out, there will be no problem in the short term. Once the Qinglongwan tourist area is truly developed, most of the people in the village will probably point at Xiang Yang's back and curse him.
These are all money-making projects!
The villagers already have their own houses, and they can renovate them into farmhouses, small restaurants or hotels without much investment.
Xiang Yang gave Song Guoning a grateful look and said, "Thank you, Mr. Song, for your reminder. I will discuss this matter with Village Chief Zuo later." If Song Guoning had not brought it up, Xiang Yang might not have thought of it in a short period of time. If he didn't think of it, the villagers would not move. However, there was demand in the market. If Xiang Yang and the villagers didn't do it, naturally outsiders would do it.
Song Guoning waved his hand, "These are all small matters, you don't need to thank me. To be honest, even if you really outsource these, I'm afraid none of us here would do this, so we should still outsource them. The key is to have a qualified tourist scenic spot, from high-end to mass consumption. This is called complete tourist facilities, which must be there."
Xiang Yang pondered for a moment.
Shopping is not difficult.
There is a small shop next to the village primary school. Although there are not many things, there are still necessary daily necessities.
As for more advanced souvenirs and luxury goods, there will be time to make arrangements for them after development.
Eating is not difficult either.
Although there are no restaurants in Yanlong Village, every household is a good cook.
Discuss with Village Chief Zuo. If there are tourists coming in the early stage, just arrange for them to eat at the villagers' homes. Set a standard price per table so that the villagers can earn some money. The villagers will definitely be happy.
As long as they get through this initial start-up phase and let the villagers taste the sweetness, some of them will naturally open restaurants or farm stays. This has been proven by the practice of countless tourist attractions. It does not mean that the people of Yanlong Village are so smart that they can learn without a teacher.
The real difficulty is actually the issue of accommodation.
Although every household in the village has a house, these self-occupied houses are obviously not enough to be converted into hotels or inns.
Moreover, the villagers are somewhat uncomfortable with renting out their own houses. This can be seen from the fact that when Xiang Yang recruited people from the Ocean University and gave them money, the villagers were not very willing to let them live in their homes.
Even if the villagers are willing, tourists can't always stay in other people's homes!
Xiang Yang used himself as an example. If he were to go out for a trip and was asked to choose between staying in a hotel or staying at a local fellow's home, he would definitely prefer to stay in a hotel.
"Do I have to build a hotel myself?" This thought popped into Xiang Yang's head.
