Chapter 37. Building a Wooden House
Zhou Yingying has dealt with her personal affairs and officially resigned from the original diving shop. Not only did she switch to Li Yaolin, she also brought a diving master with her.
This diving master was a student brought up by Zhou Yingying. He also worked in the same diving shop before. After Zhou Yingying’s incident, he was very dissatisfied with the boss’s handling of the matter and resigned in anger.
After hearing Zhou Yingying say that the girl who stood up for her that day was a boss who wanted to recruit people for the newly opened diving shop, she followed Zhou Yingying here.
Although the level of the diving master is not as high as that of the assistant and coach, he can already take tourists to experience diving alone, and can also assist the coach in diving teaching. Li Yaolin naturally welcomes their arrival.
Before they came, they were still a little nervous. Although Zhou Yingying believed in the kind Li Yaolin and checked a lot of information about Xingzhou Island on the Internet, seeing is believing. Before arriving at Xingzhou Island, they would be somewhat hesitant.
All these uneasiness and confusion disappeared after seeing the real scene with their own eyes. Zhou Yingying also had great confidence in the development prospects of diving in Xingzhou Island. After all, it was related to her job. She was grateful and trusted Li Yaolin, but she had to consider her own future.
Although Fang Xinhua did not participate in the operation and management of the diving center, he did not want to do a loss-making business, so he also recommended two diving coaches. It is said that he poached these two diving coaches from the former island owner.
-Yes, it was the former island owner who had cooperated with Fang Xinhua to open a route and wanted to develop Taipa Island (Xingzhou Island), but ended up withdrawing his investment and running back to Qionghai.
Li Yaolin asked Fang Xinhua: “Are you sure you two were partners?”
Fang Xinhua said confidently: “Yes, we were!”
What the former island owner failed to do (developing Xingzhou Island), he indirectly did, rounding it off, it also fulfilled the former island owner’s development dream, I believe the former island owner will not blame him for poaching.
Li Yaolin thought: “If I go bankrupt one day, you won’t stab me in the back, right?”
Fang Xinhua had no idea that his image in Li Yaolin’s heart had collapsed, and asked: “Didn’t you meet him when you went to Daya Island in Qionghai for an inspection last time? He was one of the first entrepreneurs to participate in the development of Daya Island’s tourism industry. Although the development of Taipa Island failed, he still has some foundation in Daya Island.”
Li Yaolin: “…”
She thought of her diving experience in Daya Island. It shouldn’t be such a coincidence, right?
But does the other party have anything to do with the Poseidon Holiday APP? Does the other party know the existence of the system?
Li Yaolin thought about it and said: “I don’t know him. If you have a chance, can you introduce him to me!”
Fang Xinhua, who had just poached the other party’s people and still had some shamelessness at this moment, laughed: “Of course, if there is a chance, of course!”
After negotiating the salary conditions with the coaches, Li Yaolin first took them to select a good diving spot for pre-job training to let them familiarize themselves with and understand the waters of Xingzhou Island.
When they went into the water, Li Yaolin sat on the yacht she bought specifically for sea diving and opened the APP to develop the diving base.
The system popped up a window: [Do you want to spend 580,000 yuan to build a diving base?]
Li Yaolin used the discount card and activated the development funds from the Poseidon subsidy. The subsidy has accumulated more than 800,000 yuan so far. After deducting 460,000 yuan from it, it was rounded off to the nearest dollar, which meant that she built the diving base without spending a penny.
“Yes”.
【The diving base was successfully established!】
【Diving Base (Level 1)
Popularity: 0/100
Pollution Index: 35 (Level 4 Pollution)
Operation Cost: 3,000 yuan/day】
At this time, underwater.
Coaches such as Zhou Yingying looked at the scene in front of them, as if they were paused, and they were all stunned.
Colorful lights suddenly appeared in the sea with extremely high visibility. They attached to tropical fish, corals, seaweed, shells, and even gravel and rocks, reflecting a magnificent and magical world of light and shadow.
They thought there was something wrong with the mask, but when they took a photo with a camera, the effect was the same, proving that these scenes were real, not their illusions.
Then the question is, where did the light come from?
They looked up, and the light shining through the sea seemed to be the same as the light they saw elsewhere, but because the water was clear, it was brighter, but this kind of light could not produce such an effect on the seabed at all.
Zhou Yingying carefully picked up a stone and found that the light immediately dissipated. It was just an ordinary stone. After she put the stone back in place, the colorful glow appeared immediately.
Later, not only the objects here, but also their bodies were vaguely covered with a colorful dress as thin as a cicada’s wing.
After they floated up and took off their masks and air tanks, the first sentence they said was “It’s amazing”!
Li Yaolin looked at them: “What’s wrong?”
Zhou Yingying sent the scene they took on the seabed to Li Yaolin, and they discussed: “Why is there light in the sea? If you see these lights at night, you can say they are ‘sea fireflies'[1]Vargula hilgendorfii sometimes called the sea-firefly and one of three bioluminescent species known in Japan as umi-hotaru (海蛍), is a species of ostracod crustacean. It is the only member of … Continue reading, but now it is broad daylight.”
“The appearance of ‘sea fireflies’ often means that there are a lot of plankton gathering in the sea, and the visibility of the sea water is very low, but the water quality we just saw did not feel turbid.”
“Also, ‘sea fireflies’ only emit cold light, which looks like blue. The light we see is colorful, very colorful, and unheard of.”
Li Yaolin immediately thought of her development of the diving base. This should be the project effect attached to the system, just like the changes in the fish catch of the sea fishing ground after the development of the sea fishing ground.
No wonder it cost 580,000 yuan to develop this project.
Li Yaolin said calmly: “This is probably the light emitted by unknown plankton in the sea! The sea is so mysterious, and our knowledge is limited. It just happens to touch our blind spots of knowledge, so we can’t understand it for the time being.”
Zhou Yingying and others didn’t know why they felt that her words made sense, so they stopped worrying about it.
After arriving at the third diving spot, Zhou Yingying and her friends saw a different picture. There are more fish here than at the other two diving spots, and most of them are edible fish. They are densely packed and move in an orderly manner, presenting a “fish storm”, which is very shocking.
In addition, the seabed here is relatively steep, and people with deep-sea phobia will definitely faint when diving here, but it gives Zhou Yingying and her group of professional coaches a different feeling. They are not afraid of it, but have a very warm and stable feeling, as if here, they don’t have to worry about unpredictable dangers, nor do they have to worry about drowning…
After returning to the yacht, the diving captain couldn’t help asking: “Boss, when are we opening?”
He was already a little impatient to open the door to receive guests, no, he wanted to take tourists to experience the fun of diving.
Li Yaolin said: “It will be in late August. The diving center is still under renovation!”
While the diving center was still under construction, Liang Ying rushed out the decoration design drawings of the diving center in just two days. After several revisions and confirmation that there were no problems, Li Yaolin decorated it according to this style.
She also bought the diving equipment when she ordered the yacht, and now it is stored in the reception center.
Although the diving center has not yet opened, Li Yaolin has placed billboards and brochures at the entrances of passenger ships, ferries and Xingzhou Island to promote diving projects.
Under this kind of publicity, the number of tourists consulting about diving projects has increased suddenly.
Li Yaolin named the three diving spots she had selected before as “snorkeling”, “experience diving” and “professional diving”. The names are simple and crude, and the little mermaid complained about her poor naming ability again.
Finally, at the suggestion of the diving coaches, they changed their names to “relaxed snorkeling”, “romantic experience” and “leisure deep diving”.
The three diving projects have their own characteristics. “Relaxed snorkeling” is needless to say. It is right next to the white sand beach and can be played by tourists without diving experience.
“Romantic Experience” is an eight-meter scuba diving experience activity that can be carried out by tourists without a certificate. Everything here is blessed by colorful colors and lights, isn’t it romantic?
“Leisure Deep Diving” is a professional-level diving that can only be carried out with a diving certificate. When the certification service is provided in the future, it will also be carried out in this area.
More diving spots will be developed in the future, provided that the environment of the diving market is good.
Just when everyone thought that Li Yaolin was going to manage the diving center herself, she hired a store manager to take charge of the daily affairs of the diving center and hired two employees to receive tourists.
Also, the accounts here are calculated separately from the accounts of Xingzhou Island, so naturally an accountant was hired back.
…
“I thought you would work as a convenience store manager until you are old, but I didn’t expect that you would eventually fall to the point of hiring someone.”
After Li Yaolin resigned from her position as the convenience store manager and arranged a cashier for the convenience store, the little mermaid sent this bubble text.
Li Yaolin: “…”
As long as you dare to appear in front of me, I will definitely let you take over as the convenience store manager.
The little mermaid touched herself, and the meaning couldn’t be more obvious.
Li Yaolin was speechless for her blatant slacking behavior, and then said: “In the past, there were few tourists and employees on Xingzhou Island, and I could take care of the convenience store and the affairs of Xingzhou Island. Now the stall is bigger and I can’t handle it. Besides, I don’t really want to be a convenience store manager.”
While arguing with the little mermaid, she did not forget to improve the infrastructure:
“Now there are more tourists on the island, it is inevitable that there will be some headaches and fevers. The infirmary is still short of two doctors. This can’t be delayed, and we have to recruit people immediately.
“By the way, the road on the island needs to be repaired. Let’s repair one more kilometer and connect it to the reserve.
“Recently, I saw a message saying that the public toilets are not enough, so build two more.
“There are more employees joining the company, and the problem of eating has gradually become prominent. The employee meals must be solved centrally. Should we order takeout directly or hire a cooking aunt to come back to cook? In this case, we have to arrange a place for the staff canteen.
“Let’s also arrange the holiday cabins…”
Li Yaolin had thought about building a hotel before, but she had not been able to do it because of insufficient funds. But after a trip to Malaysia, she was inspired. It’s not just hotels that can be lived in, cabins can also be used!
The cabins are cheap, environmentally friendly, and less harmful to the environment. The disadvantages are probably that the sound insulation is not very good, and the wooden structure will corrode faster at the seaside.
However, the cabins produced by the system should be better than those built outside, right?
Li Yaolin calculated that a 15-square-meter single-family cabin costs only 12,000 yuan. She can take out 120,000 yuan to build ten cabins. There are few recreational projects on the island, and not many tourists will choose to stay overnight. There is no need to build too many cabins for the time being. ——In view of the fact that the increase in overnight tourists will affect the income of Qianlai Tourism and tickets, the room rate cannot be set too low. For example, 168 yuan per night for a standard room should be enough.
After making up her mind, she asked Liang Ying to help design the appearance of the holiday cabin, and she built it according to this design.
After the planning, she opened the detailed information of Xingzhou Island for the first time in a long time:
【Island】 Xingzhou Island
【Island Owner】 Li Yaolin+
【Area】 2.9 square kilometers (290 hectares: 220 hectares of island land area/70 hectares of sea area)
【Development Progress】 Infrastructure +32% (1 reservoir, 3 public toilets, simple dock, gate, power system, 2KM road, sunshade pavilion, convenience store, employee dormitory, reception hall building complex, incubator, 10 holiday homes)
【Amusement facilities】 +5% (Level 3 sea fishing ground, Level 3 white sand beach, Level 1 diving base)
【Environmental protection facilities】 +12% (no-fishing zone, wildlife ecological protection zone)
【Business level】 Level 3+
【Rating】 None
【Sea God Satisfaction】 27
…
Li Yaolin found that the business level had increased. When she clicked the “+” at the back, the system popped up a notification:
【Sea God Support Project Subsidy Item: Business level reaches Level 3 and obtains the wonder “Sea Fire”. After that, you can randomly obtain 1 wonder every time you increase your level (the visible range is limited to islands)】
