"I heard that you are in charge of purchasing seafood in Huhai Town now. Why are you so idle and staying at home in broad daylight?" Xiang Yang asked with a smile.
"The seafood purchasing business in Huhai Town is now on the right track, and I have nothing to do with it anymore. Otherwise, why do you think that Uncle San's seafood purchasing business is doing well? He has to go to Liancheng to open a seafood stall? I have a seafood purchasing store in Huhai Town. All kinds of seafood are clearly marked with prices, and the people below can handle it. It's useless for me to go there." Xiang Hui shook his head.
Xiang Yang nodded. This was almost what he expected.
The era of making a profit by price difference like the three seafood buyers in Huhai Town in the past is gone forever. Now when doing business, prices are open and transparent. Business is all about people and reputation.
Xiang Yang walked into the house.
Xiang Hui was the only one at home, and the house was a bit messy, with all kinds of water tanks, wooden barrels, and foam boxes filling the entire hall.
"The house is so messy, why don't you clean it up?" Xiang Yang complained.
Xiang Hui chuckled and said, "Let's go to the second floor. It's quite clean there."
Xiang Yang's new home is a house with three families sharing one staircase, and Loudi's house is just behind the hall.
The environment on the second floor really made Xiang Yang's eyes light up, with snow-white walls, luxurious room interiors, and comfortable sofas.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "The house is well decorated. It seems that the seafood stall is quite profitable."
"It's compensation for the demolition. Their seafood stall has only been open for a few months. How much money can they make?" Xiang Hui opened the refrigerator, took out a dozen cans of Coke, and distributed them to everyone, saying, "Those of you who are thirsty can drink first. I'll buy the rest now."
"No, I don't drink this." Li Chao said with a smile.
"I don't need it either." Xiang Yang waved his hand.
"If you don't drink it, I will." Zhang Qicheng picked up a can, broke it open and took a big gulp.
Xiang Yang looked at Chen Qingsheng and said, "Master Chen, why don't you go out and have fun first, and then have a good meal tonight. Then I'll give you a week-long vacation. I'll transfer your wages during this period to your cards, and I'll also give you bonuses and red envelopes."
Chen Qingsheng nodded, "Okay, then I'll go back to the boat and have a good sleep. After dinner, I'll go to the city to buy a train ticket back home."
"Well, remember to get up on time. You have worked hard on this trip and you cannot be absent from the celebration banquet." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
Chen Qingsheng grinned, "Don't worry, I won't save you the money that should be wasted at night."
Soon, only Xiang Yang, Xiang Hui, Li Chao and Zhang Qicheng were left at home.
"Brother, do you have something to talk about? Should I go out?" Xiang Hui asked.
Xiang Yang looked at Li Chao.
Li Chao shook his head. "No, we'll just sit here and chat."
"Qinglongwan has developed very rapidly during this period." Xiang Yang stared at Li Chao and said.
Li Chao nodded. "Yes, now both Liancheng and Longcheng have tourist buses that go directly to Qinglongwan. On average, the floating population in Qinglongwan exceeds 300 people every day."
Xiang Yang raised an eyebrow, "Only three hundred?"
Xiang Yang actually felt a little helpless in his heart.
During the few months he was away, the rapid development of Qinglongwan far exceeded Xiang Yang's imagination. Many business opportunities might have been taken away by Li Chao.
Take this tourist bus for example.
It must have been eaten by Li Chao, otherwise, how could Li Chao have such detailed numbers.
From Longcheng to Qinglongwan, if the fare is calculated at 100 yuan per person, then 300 people would have to pay 30,000 yuan a day. How much is this cost
However, although Xiang Yang was helpless, he couldn't blame Li Chao directly. After all, these things were inevitable. Even if Li Chao didn't do it, someone else would definitely do it.
What made Xiang Yang happy was that there seemed to be no commercial shops in Qinglongwan at present. He didn't know whether Village Chief Zuo remembered his words and held on to this piece of land tightly, or whether Li Chao had not had time to buy it yet.
However, the demolition of Qinglongwan disrupted many of Xiang Yang’s previous plans.
Originally, thanks to Xiang Yang's efforts, Qinglongwan already had quite a few homestays available for rent. But now, with this happening, the only place in the entire Qinglongwan where people can stay overnight is the seaside hotel.
However, Xiang Yang did not doubt whether Li Chao had used some tricks in this matter. The demolition of so many households in Yanlong Village was not a small matter, and Li Chao did not have the power to do anything bad in this matter.
"Three hundred people are not enough? This is the number of tourists. Each of them comes with a lot of cash and comes here purely for consumption." Li Chao said.
"There are also people who travel on a budget, or who just want to play for a day and leave, right? So, what is the daily occupancy rate of the Binhai Hotel now?" Xiang Yang asked.
"What occupancy rate?" Li Chao asked back.
"What do you mean?" Xiang Yang asked puzzledly.
Li Chao crossed his legs and lay on the sofa, smiling and saying, "Brother Xiang, do you think building a hotel is like building a residential building?"
Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows, "Brother Chao, you don't mean it's been half a year, so the Binhai Hotel hasn't opened yet?"
"It's good enough that it's completed. It's not easy to open it." Li Chao smiled and shook his head. "We have just finished decorating the exterior of the building, and the interior decoration has not yet started. In addition, the landscaping is not completely done. If we want to wait for the hotel to officially open, we have to wait until next year at least."
"Where are those tourists staying now?" Xiang Yang asked puzzledly.
"There are quite a lot of homestays in Qinglongwan now, which can accommodate dozens of people every day. In addition, there is a two-star hotel in Huhai Town, and more than a dozen small hotels, some of which are opened by people from your Yanlong Village. Accommodation is not a problem for the time being." Li Chao said.
Xiang Yang nodded. It only took about ten minutes to drive from Yanlong Village to Huhai Town. It was convenient to live in Huhai Town.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yang frowned again, "Where is the beach club that I cooperated with? There are about 300 tourists every day. When I came back just now, why didn't I see any tourist projects on the beach? And where are those yachts of yours, Brother Chao?"
"The tourism plan for Longcheng has been finalized. We can't mess around like we are doing now. The section of Qinglongwan from my hotel to the village school, except for the small section at the pier, is fenced off. Apart from swimming and diving, nothing else is allowed."
"The Haimo and other marine projects are now on the right side of my hotel. A huge marine exhibition hall is being built there. The Mongolian warship you found is also there."
"As for my yachts, they can only dock at the pier along the lake now."
"Yanhu? When did a pier appear there? Isn't that a remote coastline with hardly any fishermen?" Xiang Yang asked in amazement.
"It was true before, but not now. Since we are going to develop a tourism development zone, this development zone naturally cannot be limited to Qinglongwan. Naturally, the wider the radiation range, the better." Li Chao said.
