Chapter 52. New Pier

     In order to prevent malicious occupation of rooms and to prevent scalpers from driving up prices, Li Yaolin connected the booking system to the real-name system in advance, and set it up so that only those who bought boat tickets and tickets could book rooms. Once the boat tickets and tickets were cancelled, the room would be automatically refunded.

 

     In addition, one ID can only book one room and register two people (except for single-family double-storey holiday cabins). If you want to help someone book, you must first use the other party’s ID card to buy tickets. Only after buying tickets can you make reservations.

 

     Once you have booked tickets and rooms, you will be prohibited from buying tickets and booking rooms again within one month if you cancel three times before checking in.

 

     In other words, the people who booked the holiday cabin within an hour are most likely not scalpers, nor are they malicious people who book and check out to cause trouble, but are tourists who really want to spend the night on the island.

 

     As for why the time was set on September 26, it was actually to facilitate timely discovery of problems and then make adjustments before National Day.

 

     In contrast, the booking situation in the camping area is a bit complicated.

 

     The entire camping area is 1,200 square meters and is divided into three areas:

 

     First is the large camping area, with a total of ten camping sites, each of which is 40 square meters. Even if it is a super-large tent that claims to have three bedrooms and one living room and can accommodate more than eight people, there is still a lot of space for activities after setting up camp.

 

     The rent for a campsite during the day is 1,200 yuan, and it is 2,000 yuan at night. If you want to rent a tent, it will be calculated according to the rent of the corresponding tent.

 

     The second is the medium camping area, with a total of twelve camping sites, each of which is 30 square meters. Generally, the tents in this area can sleep 4-6 people. – If you want to set up a large tent, it’s okay as long as you don’t mind being crowded. – The rent is 600 yuan during the day and 1,200 yuan at night.

 

     Finally, there is the small camping area, with a total of 28 camping sites, each of which is about 12 square meters. The small tents that can be camped are generally small tents that can accommodate 2-3 people. The rent is 300 yuan during the day and 600 yuan at night.

 

     Some tourists think the price is too expensive. They think they would rather go to the white beach or snorkel during the day. Even if they want to find a place to rest, they can sit under the trees. Who would camp on the island in such a hot day?

 

     But some tourists found that the camping area is different from the holiday cabin. It does not limit the number of people staying overnight. In other words, if they rent a large camping spot, even if the tent can only sleep eight people in theory, they can squeeze in and sleep twelve people. The more people, the more cost-effective it is. It is very suitable for young people who travel in groups.

 

     Some tourists do not know the situation of the camping area and dare not book it easily.

 

     Li Yaolin does not care whether they book or not, but still puts the promotional pictures of the holiday cabin, seafood buffet restaurant and camping area on the Internet.

 

     Netizens looked at all the pictures of the camping area. Finally, a modeling master used software to simulate the situation of the camping area based on the angles of these pictures and the data such as the size of the camping spots provided by Xingzhou Island.

 

     “First of all, this camping site is quite large, larger than my living room. After setting up the tent, there is still a lot of space left. This ensures space for everyone to move around, and there will be no embarrassing situation where tents are close to each other and people talking here can be heard by the neighbors. There are also ground lights around the camping site. Since the photos are not taken at night, the effect is not clear.

 

 

 

     “Secondly, these turfs are artificial grass, which is not easy to breed mosquitoes, but there is no need to worry about not being able to penetrate the turf when camping. We can see from the photos that the camping area has ground nails, and we can just tie them directly on them when the time comes.

 

     “Also, look around, there are sinks, count the faucets, and one area can accommodate about 20 people at the same time.

 

     “What if I want to go to the toilet? There is a public toilet on each side. The stairs and roads are very smooth, and there are street lights, so there is no need to worry about danger. ”

 

     Someone asked him if he was paid for promotion, he replied: “No, I hope the island owner can give me a chance to promote because I am so devoted [funny.jpg]”

 

 

 

     Then the official blog of Xingzhou Island really forwarded it and replied: “The island owner asked the boss if he planned to change jobs, the island lacks talents like the boss.”

 

     To show sincerity, he would also reserve a ticket for him.

 

     This made the modeling boss happy, and he immediately arranged it and prepared to experience the feeling of camping on Xingzhou Island. 

 

     He also said to his fans:

 

    “When the time comes, I will show you live whether it is really as I simulated!”

 

     A group of netizens complained: “The popular science blogger next door said the same thing, you are the ones who are happy, and we can only watch!”

 

     Some netizens interrupted: “Please help see if the island owner is really a beautiful post-00s. If so, I will submit my resume to Xingzhou Island! “

 

     “I checked the recruitment website and found that Xingzhou Island is currently recruiting waiters. Do you want to submit your resume?”

 

     “Don’t just focus on Xingzhou Island. Look at another company under the name of the island owner. Isn’t it recruiting crew members and helmsmen?”

 

     “If we knew how to drive a boat, we would have gone there long ago! “

 

 

 

     Yes, Qianlai Travel is recruiting crew members, because Qianlai Travel’s application to change the dock, change the route, and add flights has been approved by the relevant departments. And under the help of the relevant departments, a new dock was subleased from a shipping company.

 

     The dock is located outside the port. It is an artificial dock in the shape of a concave character. On the left is the shipyard, but the entrance of the shipyard is outward, which means that only Qianlai Travel’s ships can enter and exit here. When entering and leaving the port, they perfectly avoid fishing boats.

 

     Secondly, there is an open-air parking lot on the right side of the dock. Originally, it was parked with trucks. After being rented by Qianlai Travel, it was renovated to create hundreds of parking spaces for small cars.

 

     More importantly, this dock is very close to the Baoren Port Bridge. It is close to Chang, with convenient transportation. There are few seafood stores opposite, so the fishy smell is not so strong.

 

     The rent of the new pier is more expensive, but with the current scale of Qianlai Tourism, as long as Xingzhou Island does not go bankrupt, it can be afforded.

 

     In order to avoid tourists queuing to board the ship under the scorching sun, Li Yaolin plans to build a waiting hall at the new pier. She thought that if the APP does not recognize it, she will use the two million funds to build it.

 

     However, to her surprise, the APP has been updated with the times. After the update, she can find the wharf on the map by dragging the interface, and then plan the infrastructure construction at the wharf.

 

     She built a ticket waiting hall at the wharf, with four ticket windows reserved, and only two of them have ticket sellers. The waiting area next to it is equipped with ninety chairs, six ceiling fans on top, and a water heater installed next to it so that waiting tourists can drink hot water.

 

     This hall is built with a steel grid structure, which is relatively cheap and has a stable structure, even if there is a typhoon. The construction of the entire hall cost more than 100,000 yuan, and more than 80,000 yuan after discount. This part of the project payment was directly deducted from the subsidy.

 

     After building this hall, Li Yaolin can monitor the safety of the building in real time on the APP.

 

     In addition to this hall, Qianlai Tourism also bought a passenger ship back. The new passenger ship’s horsepower, draft, fuel consumption, etc. are similar to the “Poseidon 1 aluminum alloy passenger ship”, but its passenger capacity is not as good as that of the “Poseidon 1”, with a carrying capacity of only 78 people.

 

     Manager Peng Shaoyi also asked Li Yaolin where she bought the “Poseidon No. 1” because the same horse In terms of power, fuel consumption and passenger capacity, the speed of the new passenger ship is obviously not as good as that of “Poseidon 1”.

 

     Li Yaolin couldn’t explain it either, and only said that it was sent by someone else.

 

     Peng Shaoyi: “…”

 

     It is rumored that the island owner has a good background. She can let someone send a passenger ship worth millions. The rumor is probably true.

 

     After the new passenger ship was launched, the flight frequency of Xingzhou Island finally increased from eight one-way trips on weekdays and ten one-way trips on weekends to sixteen one-way trips on weekdays and twenty one-way trips on weekends.

 

     After adjusting the flight this time, Li Yaolin does not plan to change the frequency for the time being. She plans to use this winter to discuss the opening of a new route at Biwan Port. If it succeeds, there will be two docks next year to take a boat to the island, and the upper limit of the tourist capacity will be increased to 4,000 people.

 

     And this upper limit will be long-term, that is, when the average number of tourists per day reaches 4,000, she will not receive new tourists anyway.

 

     For this reason, she also rejected many requests for cooperation from investors, just because she didn’t want to make things that could be decided by one person complicated by the intervention of multiple people.

 

 

 

…

 

 

     When Qianlai Tourism’s passenger ship began to implement the new flight schedule, it was September 26, when the holiday cabins, seafood buffet restaurants, and camping areas were newly opened and put into operation.

 

     The five tourists who were selected to experience the diving day trip were received by Lin Qitong in person.

 

 

 

     The popular science blogger started a live broadcast, and he politely asked Lin Qitong: “Do you mind if I start a live broadcast?”

 

     Lin Qitong has long been accustomed to facing the camera, she smiled slightly: “Don’t mind, if there is anything that cannot be filmed, I will remind you.”

 

 

 

     Someone soon came into the popular science blogger’s live broadcast. When they saw the scene just now, they said: “If nothing else, the other party’s attitude is good.”

 

     “Hey, isn’t this the ‘image spokesperson’ of Xingzhou Island?”

 

     “No way? Why didn’t I know that Xingzhou Island has an image spokesperson?”

 

     “She is a small Internet celebrity. She has made promotional videos for Xingzhou Island before. In recent reports about Xingzhou Island, she is basically responsible for going abroad. Like today, she is there to take everyone to visit Xingzhou Island and explain the scenery of Xingzhou Island. “

 

     Some barrages began to speculate wildly: “Hey, could she be the owner of the island?”

 

     “You will know if you follow her short video account. She is not the owner of the island, and she will never be the owner of the island.”

 

 

 

     Lin Qitong didn’t know that the barrage was discussing her. She took a few lucky people on board and smiled mysteriously: “Everyone can remember the environment here!”

 

     The five lucky people looked at each other. It was very desolate and smelly here. What is there to remember?

 

     However, they knew that the popular science blogger was live broadcasting, so they didn’t raise any questions, so as not to be slapped in the face in public later.

 

     It turned out that they were very foresighted, because after the passenger ship sailed for a while, everyone suddenly found that the color of the sea outside the ship was completely different. It was an unpolluted sea at a glance. Under the reflection of the sun, the color of the sea water was very pure, and the sea water splashed by the ship was also very cool, and there was no fishy or salty smell at all.

 

     Although the popular science blogger didn’t say anything, his pupils had betrayed his heart, and the barrage was full of “Fuck”. Those who watched the blogger’s live broadcast were very sure that the blogger did not suddenly turn on the beauty filter or special effects. They could only say that this was the most realistic picture of the sea area of Xingzhou Island!

 

 

 

    The popular science blogger finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and asked: “Are we going to dive in this environment later?”

 

     Lin Qitong said: “The water quality here is actually not the best.”

 

     The barrage exploded. This is not the best, so how good is the best water quality?

 

     A considerable number of them have not watched the TV station’s live broadcast when they experienced snorkeling, otherwise they would not have asked this question.

 

     However, the popular science blogger has done his homework. At this time, his heart has begun to waver, thinking that he may have wronged Xingzhou Island. The reason why the sea water here can glow is not necessarily due to the large gathering of plankton…

 

     His reason and face that he couldn’t lose made him decide to wait and see.

 

     The news that Lin Qitong went abroad again soon spread in the social circle of the university. Because the popular science blogger is a big V with more than two million fans, his previous winning was also on the hot search. Although it was only at the end of the hot search, there were still many people paying attention to his diving experience trip.

 

     Only one hour after the live broadcast, the popularity of the live broadcast room has reached more than 100,000, including Lin Qitong and Li Yaolin’s college classmates and alumni.

 

     Many people in the school know Lin Qitong. They cut the picture and sent it to various clubs, classes or alumni groups.

 

     Group members also released the video of Lin Qitong’s previous interview with the TV station. Sun Fen also saw it, and he knew that Lin Qitong also went to work on Xingzhou Island.

 

     Thinking of the relationship between Lin Qitong and Zheng Xuan, he suspected that the “missing” Zheng Xuan was also on Xingzhou Island!

 

     When he was about to go to Xingzhou Island, when he bought a ticket on the mini program, it popped up: You have been blacklisted and will be prohibited from purchasing boat tickets and tickets to Xingzhou Island, as well as any products on Xingzhou Island (including but not limited to cultural and creative products, fishing gear bait, seafood, etc.).

 

     As for the reason for blacklisting?

 

     He slandered and spread rumors that the employees and bosses of Xingzhou Island had an improper relationship, discredited the tourism image of Xingzhou Island, and had a great impact on the reputation of Xingzhou Island. He was regarded as a malicious non-tourist group. Regardless of whether the lawsuit is won or lost, the door of Xingzhou Island will always be closed to him.

 

 

 

……

 

 

     Zheng Xuan, who was discussing the pre-sale of cultural and creative products with the operation department, received a call from her parents. Her mother asked her on the other end of the phone whether she had blocked Sun Fen’s family.

 

     She gave an affirmative answer: “Sun Fen got into a lawsuit recently and is looking for someone to help him intercede! His parents and his uncle’s family all called me, and I felt annoyed, so I blocked them. Did they disturb you and your father?”

 

     “He… Forget about him, did you go to the Xingzhou Island in Youshi?” her mother asked.

 

     Zheng Xuan didn’t understand. Sun Fen guessed that she was on Xingzhou Island, but found that he was blocked by Xingzhou Island and couldn’t contact her, so he called her parents who hadn’t blocked her family yet?

 

 

 

     “Yes, my friend found me a job here.”

 

     Her mother said distressedly: “Why do you go to work so soon? Don’t take a good rest? How can you take care of yourself in such a far place!”

 

     “Don’t worry, mom and dad, I’m fine here, and the work is not busy. I can leave a lot of things to my subordinates. And the scenery here is very good. You can go to relax at any time when you work here. I have gained two kilograms in just half a month here. Can you believe it?”

 

 

 

     Zheng Xuan said it easily, but her parents were still worried and wanted to come and see her. She said: “It’s good to come and play. You should come here for a trip once, but don’t come during the National Day. The tickets for the National Day are basically fully booked. I will help you book tickets after the National Day…”
