A few years ago, the fisherman in Yanlong Village who was stung by an eel catfish on his finger and was forcibly sent to the hospital was because his wound was not treated in time. When he was stung, he was at sea and there was no hot water on the small fishing boat. He rowed back to Qinglongwan by himself for an hour, and then casually applied hot water on his finger, and the toxin spread in his body.
After being stung by an eel catfish, if the wound can be cleaned immediately with salt water and applied with hot water, as long as there is no residual eel catfish stinger in the wound, Xiang Yang believes that there is actually no need to go to the hospital.
If it were Xiang Yang himself, he would not even bother to apply hot water after cleaning the wound and removing the toxins.
But Zhang Qicheng’s identity is different. He is one of the main investors in Qinglongwan and the God of Wealth.
Xiang Yang thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhang, why don't you go to the hospital and have a doctor check you out so you can rest assured."
"Don't worry, I'm not as delicate as you think. I'm very familiar with seafood like eels and catfish." Zhang Qicheng said with a smile.
Xiang Yang nodded, "Since you said you're fine, Brother Zhang, then do as you wish. But if you feel unwell later, you must tell me in advance and don't hide it."
Zhang Qicheng nodded, indicating that he knew the seriousness of the matter.
After soaking in the hot water for more than ten minutes, Zhang Qicheng stood up and changed out of his wet diving suit.
"How do you feel?" Xiang Yang asked Zhang Qicheng.
Zhang Qicheng smiled and lit a cigarette for himself, then said, "It's okay. Apart from a little pain in the wound, there's nothing else wrong."
Xiang Yang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. "It's normal for the wound to hurt. After all, there is a wound. As long as there are no other uncomfortable symptoms, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Zhang Qicheng nodded and said, "It's a pity that the eel catfish was not caught, otherwise I would have made soup with it."
Xiang Yang smiled. Eel catfish is just a common food ingredient and not very precious. Moreover, due to its poisonous spines, it is extremely inconvenient to handle, so few people like to eat eel catfish.
Zhang Qicheng said he wanted to make soup with the eel catfish, but it was obviously just something he said in anger.
Soon, the yacht docked at the Qinglongwan Pier. This was Zhang Qicheng's request. They were too lazy to take a detour from the lake port to the Qinglongwan Pier.
At the dock, Li Chao was waiting anxiously.
As soon as he saw Zhang Qicheng and Xiang Yang getting off the boat, Li Chao ran over and asked, "Old Zhang, what happened? Were you bitten by an eel catfish?"
Zhang Qicheng smiled sheepishly, "Hey, I spent the whole day hunting geese, but I didn't expect to get pecked in the eye by a goose."
Li Chao was shocked. "You were really bitten? How did you get bitten? Are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Zhang Qicheng shook his head and told Li Chao the whole process.
After listening to this, Li Chao breathed a sigh of relief, and then said thoughtfully: "It seems that our diving program is still not perfect."
Upon hearing what Li Chao said, Xiang Yang and Zhang Qicheng became serious.
Those working in the tourism industry fear safety accidents the most.
The tourism industry is a very long development process. Once a safety accident occurs, not only will the accumulated reputation be ruined overnight, but it will also be questioned by all parties outside, and the industry itself will definitely have to make large compensations and make rectifications.
"The diving equipment on my fishing boat is very safe. Basically, as long as we don't encounter great white sharks, high-speed swordfish and the like underwater, there will be no safety accidents. However, the diving equipment on my boat is not suitable for popularization." Xiang Yang said.
Zhang Qicheng and Li Chao both nodded. Judging from the current overall consumption level in the country, they obviously could not afford Xiang Yang's diving equipment.
"It seems that we have to advance our plan." Li Chao said.
Xiang Yang knew what Li Chao's so-called plan was.
Li Chao had long wanted to cordon off an area in the Qinglongwan sea area to place traps and isolation fences, specifically for use as a diving area for yachts.
But Xiang Yang said, "Brother Chao, I think it's better to postpone this plan. Diving near the shore won't attract tourists, and it's unnecessary. Setting up fences to isolate sharks in the deep sea of Qinglong Bay is actually a huge project. With the current number of tourists in Qinglong Bay, it will definitely not pay off."
"We still have to invest the money that should be invested. Since we have decided to develop Qinglongwan, we cannot let Qinglongwan fall into a vicious cycle," said Li Chao.
At present, there are many tourist areas in the country, but due to the small number of tourists, investment has been reduced.
Once investment decreases, the speed of equipment renewal cannot keep up.
If the equipment cannot keep up with the times, there will be fewer tourists, and this is a vicious cycle.
Therefore, whether it is abroad or at home, all tourist areas have one characteristic: either the business is getting more and more prosperous and the construction speed is getting faster and faster, or they are half-dead and there is no new building construction at all.
"The current equipment level of Qinglongwan is not bad, and it also has unique tourism resources. Look at the weather, how comfortable it is. Being able to stay a night in such a romantic environment and listen to the sound of the sea is the dream of many people. What we lack now is just to build a reputation. Don't feel sorry for the money invested now, it will be doubled in the future." Li Chao said calmly.
Xiang Yang looked around and saw the blue sky and white clouds, the boundless sea, the sound of waves and the endless silver-white sand beach. Being in such an environment was a kind of enjoyment for the human spirit. It was a dream picture that made people yearn for.
"We must invest the money that should be invested, especially the money for safety guarantee, which must not be saved. But Brother Chao, have you ever thought about how to promote Qinglong Bend?" Xiang Yang said calmly.
Xiang Yang feels that the most important thing for Qinglongwan at present is publicity.
For any tourist area to develop, it is inseparable from vigorous promotion.
"There is no shortcut to publicity. We just need to put out various advertisements vigorously. These are all spent with real money. I am now discussing with other partners whether to put out advertisements in this year's Spring Festival Gala." Li Chao said.
Xiang Yang was shocked by Li Chao's words, and then he shook his head suddenly and said, "That's impossible. To place an advertisement in the Spring Festival Gala, even an appearance would cost at least 100 million yuan."
“But this is the biggest stage. If you don’t invest, others will rush to invest. Moreover, the Spring Festival Gala itself has a very mature advertising system, and the publicity effect it brings cannot be replaced by any other stage.” Li Chao said seriously.
