Chapter 101. Interview

     The news that Poseidon Holiday Company has acquired 390 acres of land to build a cultural and creative industrial park and the news that the Xingzhou Island Undersea Hotel will be completed and open for booking soon were reported at the same time. For the public, this is a double surprise, which directly raises the public’s expectations.

     Of course, compared with the interests behind the industrial parks, the public is more concerned about whether the travel experience they bring can be improved.

     In this regard, Li Yaolin gave a reply in an exclusive interview.

     At present, it is clear that the cultural and creative industrial park will be built as a part of Xingzhou Island, which is open to the public for free and integrates production, leisure, entertainment and shopping.

     Even if some tourists cannot go to the island due to the limit on the number of people going to the island, they can go to this cultural and creative industrial park to experience the unique tourism culture of Xingzhou Island.

     When asked whether the focus of future development will be on the cultural and creative industrial park, Li Yaolin replied: “My focus is still on how to develop and operate Xingzhou Island. But the cultural and creative industrial park is an integral part of the cultural system of Xingzhou Island, so whether it is Xingzhou Island or the cultural and creative industrial park, there will be more surprises waiting for everyone to explore, so everyone can look forward to it.”

     The interviewer asked: “Does this surprise refer to the ‘underwater hotel’?”

    “The underwater hotel is just one of the projects. In the process of development and operation, I found that everyone is actually full of curiosity about the ocean and has a heart to explore the ocean, therefore, under the premise of protecting the marine ecological environment as much as possible, I also hope to see everyone get closer to the ocean and have a clearer understanding of the ocean, so that while enjoying the gifts brought by the ocean, they must also protect the marine environment and hold a reverent heart. “

     The interviewer asked: “It seems that the island owner will have bigger moves in the future. Can you reveal it?”

     “If you tell it in advance, there will be no surprises. “Li Yaolin smiled slightly.

     In fact, she had not thought about it so far. The development of the island was planned by her alone. She could not be careless and had to proceed step by step.

     After the interview, Li Yaolin received a notice that the adult white dolphin was about to give birth, so she invited the interviewer to go to the reserve to witness this touching moment.

     Since half a month before the expected birth of the white dolphin, the staff of the reserve have been on high alert, inviting experts from the white dolphin reserve to come and take charge, and preparing various emergency plans. The scene was bigger than the birth of a giant panda.

     However, the white dolphin is known as the “sea panda”, and this is the first white dolphin to give birth in the waters of Xingzhou Island. Naturally, everyone attaches great importance to it, fearing that it will have an accident.

     The law enforcement department patrols the surrounding waters more frequently, for fear that some fishermen will come to poach it, or it will be hit by some blind ship.

     Fortunately, under the effect of the APP fishing ban area, fishing boats rarely enter the waters of Xingzhou Island, let alone come for poaching.

     After finally waiting until the due date of the white dolphin, the staff was worried that it would not give birth smoothly, or that the baby dolphin would not be able to survive on its own, so they were tracking and observing it these days.

     This group of marine animals has always been close to Li Yaolin, so they hurriedly found the white dolphin when she was about to give birth, just in case.

     The tourists on the island were also very concerned about the birth of the white dolphin. They gathered in the mermaid square one by one, and even the attention paid to the sub-adult “Pipi” decreased a lot.

     But at this moment, “Pipi” also changed his temperament of wandering around and playing wildly, and anxiously circled around his mother who was giving birth. If the mother of the white dolphin was not giving birth, she would probably push him away in annoyance.

     “Pipi” probably knew that he could not help, so he had to run to Li Yaolin for help. From the sound, it can be heard that he was really worried about his mother.

     Li Yaolin had to tell him: “Your mother is working hard for the inheritance and continuation of life, don’t disturb her! But you can protect her and don’t let her and your brothers or sisters get into danger. “

     “Pipi” suddenly became sensible, swam back to the adult white dolphin, stopped making noise, and just keeping watch on its surroundings.

     This scene was captured by the camera, and the marine experts who were watching the live broadcast were very pleased: “Little Pipi has grown up. “

     Finally, when the adult white dolphin was about to run out of energy, a gray-black little guy was squeezed out of the mother’s body. The blood color permeated the sea water, then gradually faded, and finally completely melted into the clear sea water.

     The weak adult white dolphin turned its head and pushed the little guy with obvious fetal wrinkles on its skin. The little guy was a little lost and bumped around, and was finally pushed out of the water by its mother.

     Seeing this scene, the people in the reserve could no longer restrain their excitement and excitement, and roared.

     The audience in the stands also screamed and cheered, and then they consciously lowered their voices for fear of scaring the white dolphins.

     The staff of the reserve wanted to check the little dolphin, but the mother dolphin who had just given birth was protecting her cub so tightly that no one else could get close to her.

     They turned their eyes to Li Yaolin for help, and the latter shook her head this time: “They are all very healthy, and the mother still has a lot to teach the little dolphin. Let’s wait a few more days! “

     Excessive interference is not good after all. Everyone thought it made sense and temporarily gave up the idea of giving the little dolphin a physical examination.

     The interviewer also recorded this scene. Later, she asked Li Yaolin: “Will these be put in the exhibition hall of the planned cultural and creative industrial park?”

     “Of course, many tourists cannot get close to these wild protected animals, and there are few ways for them to learn about them on the island. Therefore, after the exhibition hall of the cultural and creative industrial park is built, whether it is sea turtles, dugongs, or white dolphins, the work of the reserve will be displayed in the exhibition hall, so that everyone can indirectly participate in the protection work. “

     After this interview was reported in newspapers and digital media, major Chinese white dolphin, sea turtle, and dugong conservation areas praised it and took the opportunity to promote their conservation work.

     Although it was suspected of riding on the popularity, it did attract everyone’s attention.

     This summer, major conservation areas and oceanariums have ushered in the peak season for visitors, with the number of visitors increasing by 10% over previous years, and many schools’ summer camps have also turned their attention to related fields.

     For example, in Turtle Bay in Huizhou City, there are as many as 40 teams and thousands of people participating in the expansion activities.

     On the other hand, with the successful birth of Chinese white dolphins, Xingzhou Island also announced that the underwater hotel will be open to the public in mid-August, and tourists can make reservations one week in advance.

     The underwater hotel will not be open for booking in the form of single rooms, so if you don’t care about the price and don’t like to live with too many people, you can spend 15,000 yuan to book the entire underwater hotel and spend a wonderful and leisurely day and night here.

     Of course, if you don’t want to spend so much money, you can also book with three or two friends, after all, a hotel has three rooms.

     This price makes many people discouraged, but its positioning is originally for high-spending groups, and Li Yaolin has only built eight underwater hotels, so she is not worried about the price being too high. High prices will affect the source of customers.

     Look, it was fully booked in less than half an hour after it was opened for booking.

     Many people questioned why it was fully booked so quickly at such an expensive price. Did Xingzhou Island adopt the means of hunger marketing?

     Such doubts also existed at the beginning of the opening of Holiday Inn. The publicity and public relations department has become accustomed to it and has long prepared a response plan.

     The “Ōu huáng” family drawn by the official blog of Xingzhou Island cooperated with Lin Qitong to shoot a stay experience video. Xingzhou Island arranged “Underwater Hotel No. 01” for them. As for the rest, Xingzhou Island plans to let the first batch of tourists experience it themselves. If it is exposed in advance, there will be no surprises.

     Following the pace of the “Ōu huáng” family, they took the sightseeing bus of Xingzhou Island to the south of Xingzhou Island. Looking down at Xingzhou Island, you can find that the eight bridges connecting the island and the underwater hotel are like eight oars. They are neatly distributed at the stern, controlling the sailing direction of the boat at any time…

     Walking across the bridge, there are terns flying on both sides. With their company, the hearts of the “Ōu huáng” family are finally not so panicked. After all, the house standing in the middle of the vast ocean makes them panic.

     “Ōu huáng” – a young college student, said to her parents: “Mom and Dad, if you are afraid, I will go over by myself!”

     “What nonsense, I’m already here! “Her father glared at her.

     I heard that it costs 15,000 yuan to stay in this hotel for one night. If they don’t stay, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?

     Although this opportunity is indeed free, who let their daughter be lucky!

     When they thought of their daughter telling them that she won the lottery and invited them to travel here, they thought she was cheated. You know, the air ticket from their hometown to here costs more than 1,000 yuan. Although their family is a well-off family, they are reluctant to come all the way for a hotel stay.

     Finally, their nephew told them that Xingzhou Island is an island where rich people may not be able to get a ticket even if they spend money, not to mention that Xingzhou Island only drew their daughter from hundreds of thousands of people. It would be a pity not to buy a lottery ticket with such luck.

     The nephew insisted on coming with their family, but their daughter said that Xingzhou Island only allows people to bring The two came over, and the nephew’s family gave up.

     So, in order to experience this 15,000 yuan a night hotel, they gritted their teeth, paid for the plane tickets, and came all the way here.

     Besides anything else, the environment here really made them shine. No wonder their daughter was like crazy after winning the lottery, and wanted to pack her luggage and come here immediately.

     In a daze, they walked across the bridge of more than 30 meters and came to the door of the hotel.

     Although the hotel seemed to be floating alone in the middle of the sea, it has a yard. There is a door in front of the yard, and you need to verify your identity with a wristband before you can enter.

     After opening the door, the parents of “Ōu huáng” were a little afraid to step on it. They were afraid that the wooden floor would shake. In the end, “Ōu huáng” stepped on it first… There was no shaking, and no feeling of unsteadiness, just like they felt on the shore.

     “It’s okay, Mom and Dad, come here! “She said.

     The middle-aged couple followed.

     The yard is not big, only about ten square meters, but it can just fit a beach chair and a table, where you can sit and drink some drinks, beer, and enjoy the sea breeze.

     When you open the second door, you will first see a thirty-square-meter living room with a three-person sofa and two single sofas. There is a projector on top. If you want to watch TV, you can lower the screen by remote control.

     Next to the living room is the shower and toilet, and there are two rooms.

     In everyone’s opinion, this place is just like an ordinary hotel, except that the decoration is better. There was nothing special about it, so “Ōu huáng” went straight to the underwater room.

     She originally thought that the room in the water must be very dim, because the plexiglass used to build it must be very thick, otherwise it would not be able to withstand the ravages of storms and the impact of marine life. The thicker the glass, the worse the light transmittance, and the deeper it is in the sea, the worse the light will be.

     But she didn’t expect that after coming down, the surrounding scene amazed her.

     She felt like she had entered a brightly lit fish tank, surrounded by colorful tropical fish, and the sunlight penetrated through the sea water, faintly drawing a line on the glass curtain wall. A rainbow.

     Below are reefs and marine plants growing in the cracks of the reefs, starfish, sea hares and other animals moving around in them. If she lies down to watch, she can see them clearly and vividly.

     Suddenly, the tropical fish dispersed. She was surprised when she saw a group of golden yellow croakers appear, forming a “storm” not far away.

     Seeing the “fish storm” for the first time, she stuck to the glass curtain wall, wishing she could break through the limitations of the glass and blend into the ocean.

     The yellow croaker passed in front of her and disappeared in the vast ocean in a short while. She was still a little unsatisfied when she saw the legendary “The first naughty kid on Xingzhou Island” Pipi appeared!

     It chased the school of fish, followed by an adult white dolphin with its cub, teaching it how to survive in the sea.

     The appearance of the family of three made “Ōu huáng”s heart beat so fast that it jumped to her throat. She held her breath and concentrated, fearing that she would disturb the family.

     Although she did not move, Pipi still stopped, looked left and right, and then returned to his family, as if communicating something with his mother.

     If Li Yaolin was here, she would definitely know that it was whispering to its mother: “Mom, there are people in that big tank, so fun! “

     It’s a pity that Li Yaolin was not there, and the people present didn’t know what it was saying, they only knew that the adult white dolphin took the two children away.

“Ōu huáng” watched them leave eagerly, and then she realized that the glass here seemed very thin, and she was afraid that she would accidentally step on the glass and break it.

     Lin Qitong stomped her feet hard when she saw this, and scared “Ōu huáng” so much that her face turned pale: “Won’t the glass break?”

     “No, this is made of marine engineering materials, and there is no need to be afraid of a level 14 typhoon. At the beginning of the installation, the engineering team specially tested these materials. Even if ten sharks hit together, the glass would not break. “

     “Ōu huáng” asked ignorantly: “What if it is a level 15 typhoon?”

     “There may not be a level 15 typhoon landing in a hundred years, so don’t worry. Moreover, these walls are equipped with sensing devices. Once there is a crack, an alarm will be issued to give enough time to escape. If you don’t have time to escape, there are diving masks and cylinders here…”

     “Will the animals in the sea not hit us? I remember that turtles and dolphins have very poor eyesight.”

     “Not to mention that the Chinese white dolphins have an ‘echolocation system’ that can avoid some obstacles on their own. Even without these systems, there are some devices installed on this wall that can effectively help marine life sense the existence of this building and avoid it.”

     “Ōu huáng” was relieved.

     What surprised her was that there was a signal here!

     She couldn’t wait to share this place with classmates and friends!
