In fact, neither Li Chao himself nor Xiang Yang knew much about yachts before.
Otherwise, Li Chao would not still be thinking about registering the yacht with an ocean-going company instead of setting up a yacht club.
After leaving Qinglong Bay, the yacht wandered aimlessly on the sea and soon lost sight of the mainland.
Most of the crew members on the two yachts were going out to sea on a cruise ship for the first time. They did not have the tension they felt at work, nor were they bound by the rules they had on some fishing boats. In this relaxed atmosphere, everyone was in a good mood.
"Are you full? If you are, come, let's finish this drink and go somewhere else to play cards." At one of the tables, Fang Youqun shouted loudly, holding up his glass.
Most fishermen actually like to play cards.
This has environmental reasons.
Sometimes the fishing boats would drift on the sea for several months. Every day, they would sail along the same scenery and see the same scene. Most of the time, the mobile phones had no signal. In addition, there was a lack of entertainment on the fishing boats. Many fishermen liked to spend their time playing cards and drinking after get off work.
But normally, Xiang Yang was very strict about drinking and playing cards on the fishing boat.
Drinking is okay, as long as it doesn't delay things and doesn't get drunk and act crazy, Xiang Yang doesn't care much.
But as for playing cards, it’s ok if you don’t have to pay, otherwise Xiang Yang never has a good face.
Xiang Yang raised his head and glanced in the direction of Fang Youqun, then smiled nonchalantly, too lazy to care.
Xiang Yang thought that this time they were not out for work, so let them play however they wanted.
What Xiang Yang didn't expect was that Fang Youqun's words did not receive unanimous response this time.
"Who's going to play cards with you? We finally get to play on the cruise ship, and playing cards is so boring. I might as well play at home. If you want to play, do it by yourself." A young crew member who was sitting at the same table with Fang Youqun said with a look of contempt on his face.
"That's right, we can't play cards at any time. The opportunity to take a cruise doesn't come every day." Chen Qingsheng, who was not far from Fang Youqun, shouted loudly.
"Then what do you think we should do now? I've been sitting here drinking and eating for several hours, there has to be an activity, right?" Fang Youqun said unconvincedly, stiffening his neck.
Li Chao, who was not far away, immediately pricked up his ears. He made a gesture to silence Murong Zhenfei who was speaking, "Shh, don't talk for now. I want to hear what Brother Xiang's employee has to say next."
When most tourists go out to travel, they usually visit a certain tourist scene once and will not go there a second time.
Therefore, things in tourist areas are generally more expensive than those outside. The price-performance ratio of many restaurants and hotels in tourist areas is also very low, because most of them have never considered the concept of repeat customers.
Li Chao is different. He wants Qinglongwan to have repeat customers. So when he heard Fang Youqun say that it was boring on the yacht and wanted to organize some activities, Li Chao was particularly concerned.
Chen Qingsheng touched his belly which was swollen by beer and said speechlessly, "There is a billiard room and a game room in the cabin, as well as a place to soak your feet. There are VCDs and TVs in every room. There are so many things to do, why do you have to play cards?"
Fang Youqun almost burst into tears. Billiards? Game consoles? Foot bath? Even VCDs? Did he come out on a yacht just for these things? Anyone who plays with these things is an idiot.
In fact, after eating and drinking, Chen Qingsheng himself was also very bored, but he really didn’t know what he should do.
But Chen Qingsheng always felt that playing cards or going back to his room to sleep was a waste.
In fact, only those who know how to play and are interested in yachts will find yachting fun.
Yachts in cities like Haikou and Sanya are relatively cheap.
People who have been on a yacht many times will find that there is actually not much difference between riding a yacht and riding an ordinary ship. Apart from the fact that everything on the cruise ship seems very new at the beginning, the biggest difference between the two is that the environment on the cruise ship is better than that on a passenger ship.
The difference between an ordinary cruise ship and an ordinary passenger ship is like the difference between an urban rail and a green train.
But what about the fun stuff
There really isn't one on an ordinary yacht.
An ordinary medium-sized yacht is about the same size as the Supreme series, has forty-five staterooms, and can accommodate hundreds of passengers.
However, a luxury yacht with almost the same deck size and taller cabins can only accommodate fourteen guest rooms for passengers. The difference between the two can almost be described as a world of difference.
Xiang Yang turned his head and looked under the side of the boat. After seeing those scary blue jellyfish, he said, "Boss Li, why don't we find a place to stop the boat?"
Xiang Yang said to Li Chao: "In fact, I think that luxury cruise ships and ordinary yachts should be managed separately. For luxury yachts, we can pay more attention to the cruise ship itself. After all, it has enough free space for us to show our strength. But ordinary yachts are different. It has too little space for us to play. So when operating ordinary yachts, I prefer to focus on the route."
"Putting effort on the flight path?" Li Chao asked doubtfully.
Xiang Yang nodded. "First, we can choose some sea areas with islands or other unique scenery to sail. In this way, the tourists on the ship will not have visual fatigue. Second, we must purchase a batch of diving suits like the ones used on my ship for each cruise ship, and then carefully select a few non-dangerous sea areas to add a diving business."
Li Chao blinked his eyes. "Didn't you say that I was not allowed to do diving projects in Qinglongwan?"
Xiang Yang smiled casually, "Is this Qinglong Bend?"
Li Chao's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this. He said excitedly, "This way, we can make some money by renting out diving equipment. Moreover, when tourists go diving, we can also save a lot of fuel costs for the cruise ship. Most importantly, it can make tourists feel more fun."
Xiang Yang nodded, "But in this case, you will have to do more preparation work in the early stage. Tourists are not like my crew members. You can't just find a random sea area, stop the boat, and then have the crew put on diving suits and go into the water. You need to have people find a few places with suitable depths and sparse aquatic plants. Most importantly, there must be no caves, dangerous marine life or other dangerous factors."
Li Chaoshen nodded, "Safety is a big deal, and we can't afford to be careless. I'll send people to find a few relatively flat sea areas on the seabed, and then use ropes and buoys to enclose the entire sea area to prevent some dangerous marine life from accidentally entering."
