Soon, the tour guide ended the call.
She looked at Xiang Yang expectantly, "Boss, I have consulted our manager, and he said that the company has an empty ship. Would you like to come with me to our company to take a look?"
"Okay." Xiang Yang nodded.
Xiang Yang looked at Chen Qingsheng and warned him, "Keep an eye on the crew and make sure they don't run too far from the island."
Chen Qingsheng nodded, "Don't worry, Captain."
Xiang Yang looked at the tour guide and asked, "Would you like to walk or drive?"
"It's not far ahead. Let's walk over there."
The tour guide took Xiang Yang in one direction.
Along the way, Xiang Yang discovered that this was also a semi-open island. In fact, the whole island was a deserted island. There was not a single tree, only a pure white sandbar. There were many boats gathered on the shore, and transparent and clear waves were beating the beach back and forth. The breeze was just right and the scenery was pleasant.
"Hey, is this a turtle egg?" Xiang Yang suddenly bent down and picked up a small light blue egg that was slightly larger than a pigeon egg from the beach.
To be honest, Xiang Yang had seen many turtles, but this was the first time he had seen turtle eggs. There were slight differences between them and what was described in the books.
"No, boss. These are seabird eggs. You can't pick them up. If someone finds them, you will be fined." The tour guide said nervously when she saw Xiang Yang picking up the eggs.
"Seabirds?" Xiang Yang looked up at the sky, but didn't see any seabirds.
However, Xiang Yang discovered that there were quite a few of these small green eggs on this white sandbar. They could be found almost everywhere.
Not far away, there is a fiddler crab with a black and white shell, one big pincer and one small pincer. The small pincer is gray-black, while the big pincer is pure white like snow. It is using the big pincer to push a small green egg.
Xiang Yang nodded. "These are definitely not turtle eggs. When turtles lay eggs, they dig a hole on the beach to hide the eggs. Moreover, there are hundreds of turtle eggs in a nest. They will not be scattered four times like these eggs, unless someone did it on purpose."
Then Xiang Yang laughed again, "It's really interesting that the seabirds here don't build nests, they just lay their eggs on the beach. The most important thing is that I haven't seen any seabirds hatching eggs."
Walking further forward, Xiang Yang saw a row of giant containers.
Those giant containers were weighed down with large rocks or shells as big as bathtubs, and had steel rivets at the bottom.
The tour guide said, "It's impossible to build houses here. That's where we work and rest on weekdays. There are many typhoons in this area. If we don't fix these giant containers, we may go to avoid a typhoon and when we come back, these containers will be soaked in the sea."
Xiang Yang nodded. A large cruise ship costs tens of millions. Of course, it is impossible to use a cruise ship as an office. It is normal to have an office on the shore.
"In this whole area, the only island that is actually inhabited by ordinary people is probably Yinyu Island," the tour guide said. "That's where the land is vast and the population is sparse. There is a triangular beach that is not even as big as a normal playground. There are six houses built on it, and more than a dozen giant containers, which are home to fishermen from more than a dozen fishing boats."
Xiang Yang nodded. "Living in a place like this is very convenient for fishing, if nothing else."
Soon, Xiang Yang followed the tour guide to a giant container.
"Manager Li, we're here." The tour guide knocked on the door of the giant container and shouted into the container.
A tall young man wearing a black shirt and a crew cut immediately came out of the container. He looked at Xiang Yang and said enthusiastically, "Boss, please come in. Do you want to charter a cruise ship?"
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Yes, it's a rare trip to the Xisha Islands. I want to bring my crew here to play for a day. I wonder how much it costs per day."
A light flashed in the eyes of the young man in black, and he thought to himself that this guy turned out to be a fisherman.
This place is not close to the shore. Those who can sail their boats here to fish are all engaged in deep-sea fishing.
How many people who do deep-sea fishing don’t make a lot of money
The young man in black became even more enthusiastic. He personally made a cup of tea for Xiang Yang, then said with a smile: "Then boss, you really chose the right place. This place has nothing else but beautiful scenery and fun. If you charter a cruise ship, you and your crew will definitely have a lot of fun."
The tour guide also smiled and said, "Manager Li and I were both flight attendants. We have flown to many countries and visited many beautiful and fun places, but this place is the most beautiful in our opinion, so we changed jobs and moved here together."
"My last name is Li. May I ask what your last name is, boss?" Manager Li asked Xiang Yang with a smile.
"My name is Xiang Yang. I wonder how much it costs to book a cruise here for a day?" Xiang Yang asked.
"It turned out to be Mr. Xiang."
Manager Li pondered for a moment, then said, "Mr. Xiang, let me be frank with you. Our cruise ships are all large cruise ships. Normally, a trip can easily accommodate one or two hundred people. Let's calculate based on 100 people. Princess Yongle's trip will cost 630,000 yuan, and King Yongle will cost 1.3 million yuan. Since you are booking the entire trip, I can give you a 20% discount. What do you think?"
"Five hundred thousand is too expensive for a Princess Yongle. The most I'm willing to pay is two hundred thousand." Xiang Yang shook his head.
Manager Li blinked his eyes, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Boss Xiang, this is not the way to bargain. Five hundred thousand a day is already the lowest price. Our boss will definitely skin me if I ask for two hundred thousand."
"You are also engaged in deep-sea fishing. You see, every time I go out, the boat alone needs fuel, wear and tear, and sanitation. There are also two Yongle special stage performances. The wages for the workers are over 100,000 per trip. Add in all the seafood to eat, and 500,000 is really not expensive."
Xiang Yang picked up the teacup and took a sip. "I don't know the wages for the workers, but I know a little about the fuel costs. But other than that, there are almost no other expenses for the whole trip. Seafood looks expensive, but the real price is that I do deep-sea fishing, how can I not know it?"
When it comes to seafood, the price has a lot to do with its size.
Take the stonefish, for example.
Stonefish weighing more than two kilograms are indeed very expensive.
If the fish weighs over five kilograms, it will cost several thousand yuan per kilogram.
But a stonefish weighing more than a pound each, even if it is wild, would only cost a hundred yuan at most.
How much can a person normally eat in a day
You won’t be able to eat much even if your stomach is bursting.
"But two hundred thousand is too low. Mr. Xiang, you can't make it too difficult for me. So, I will ask the company for the lowest price within my authority, 30% off. What do you think?"
