180. Capital investment in B{xml}B and employment plan
Xiaolan, who had been trapped for a whole day, happily landed on his shoulders when she saw Li Xiao coming back.
"Li Xiao, do you want to starve me to death? I haven't eaten all day. Please give me something to eat quickly."
"Hey, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there are too many things to do and I forgot. I'll get you some bird food now."
Normally, there are about two feeding times for Li Xiao, one after getting up in the morning and one before going to bed at night.
In fact, it is just a feeding point, but at these two time points, he will observe the inside of Xiaolan's rice bowl. If there is no bird food, he will add some bird food. If there is, he will add it at another time point.
However, Li Xiao went to bed early last night just after arriving here, so he completely forgot to add bird seed to Xiao Lan's rice bowl.
Today, I went out early in the morning and forgot to feed her. In addition, I was hungry for most of the day when I checked in yesterday, so it can be said that Xiaolan didn't eat anything for the whole day.
There was a lot of information, and Li Xiao spent a whole morning alone. It was not until his second aunt knocked on the door and asked him to go out for dinner that he barely finished the sorting work.
The results are quite good. More than 2,000 visitors have the intention to travel here, and more than 300 visitors have confirmed that they want to come and have signed up.
Li Xiao also had a preliminary discussion with his second uncle and the others about this matter. The second uncle and his third uncle had two vacant houses in the village.
They are all bungalows with yards, and they are fully decorated and furnished.
However, they all have the most common decorations and furniture, and some home appliances are missing. After all, it is a vacant house, but all the necessary circuits are present.
If you need to buy some simple household appliances and bedding from the town immediately, you can move in directly.
Moreover, both courtyards are new and were originally intended to be used by two cousins for their wedding.
It's just that the elders on both sides didn't expect that the two children would actually get married later than the other. After all, there are not many people in rural areas who get married first and then get the certificate at the age of eighteen or nineteen.
The youngest of the two cousins is already 20 years old, but just because they couldn't find a girlfriend, the tourists left a brand new B&B.
If everything goes well, when they get married, they may even get married in a commercial house in the town instead of a bungalow in the village.
It's not that bungalows are bad, it's just that young people definitely think that commercial housing is more decent and good-looking, and many people have the mentality that the more expensive the better, it's obvious at a glance which one is more expensive, commercial housing or bungalows.
While eating, Li Xiao briefly talked to his second uncle and second aunt about the situation of people who wanted to travel here.
When I heard that more than 300 people had confirmed that they wanted to come here to travel, my second uncle and my second aunt took several breaths of cold air.
"How can we cope with more than 300 people? Even if our two families add up, there are only 7 people. This is too much."
The second aunt said with some worry
"Yes, if we just receive these people, what about the fishing side? Should we just stop doing it? Wouldn't it be too risky? Besides, many businesses have been cooperating with us for more than ten or twenty years.
You can’t just say you won’t do it and just don’t do it, it’s really a loss of character.”
"And what if the tourism project is only popular for three minutes, and no one comes after a few days, and we lose a large number of regular customers?"
The second uncle frowned and said, their main income now comes from the merchants and hotels they have cooperated with for many years.
Now they are asked to suddenly change their business projects, which actually makes them very worried.
After all, as people of the older generation, there is no way to look at things like the Internet with a normal mentality. Their thinking is still stuck in people's field of vision when the Internet just appeared more than ten years ago.
Internet addiction, Internet, Internet opium, mind control, electrotherapy, affecting learning, teaching the use of violence.
All kinds of negative names are all associated with the Internet and have become the prefix of the emerging word Internet.
Therefore, people of the second uncle and second aunt's generation have a certain resistance to Internet-related industries, which Li Xiao can completely understand, and he has also taken into account their reactions.
After all, my mother is someone who can confuse anchors and actors. My second uncle and second aunt probably have about the same understanding of the Internet as my mother.
Li Xiao was sure that if he hadn't been his nephew, his second uncle would have thought that some scammer had come to his door and was going to implement some new type of deception.
He quickly introduced it to his second uncle
"Now that the project has just begun, we must not relax on this long-standing project. If we can't do it ourselves, we can ask others to come and help."
"For example, we can ask my second aunt to cook and organize the tools at home, and then ask a sweet-sounding young lady to help with tasks such as receiving guests and tidying up the guest rooms."
"Second uncle can ask two handsome guys to guide the passengers on how to catch octopus. They can also help second uncle sail the boat, launch the net and sort out the seafood."
"Wouldn't this be able to take care of both sides?"
"invite?"
The second uncle and the second aunt looked at each other. After all, they had been working at sea for so many years.
In the past, my second uncle even had to drive to deliver goods after fishing. But now that the children are older, he can help out, so he doesn't have to work so hard.
"Will this cost a lot of money?"
The second aunt hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
After working diligently for so many years, the two of them still have some savings, but not much, only more than 300,000.
It is better to save the expenses for the children’s wedding and for emergencies if something goes wrong.
They have really never thought about hiring people.
Li Xiao saw the two people surrounding them and said with a smile.
"Well, I've made some money in the past few months. How about I buy a share of my second uncle and my third uncle's shares?"
"I didn't care about your previous business at all. I just invested in B&B and tourism. I invested 20% and each of my uncles contributed 40%, for a total of 100% of the shares."
"Of course, my two uncles don't need to contribute any more money here. After all, my uncle has already provided manpower, rooms and ships. I calculated that my 20% investment will be about 300,000."
"When we make money, we will distribute the income according to the proportion of investment."
"Of course, how to decide this matter specifically? Let's go to Third Uncle's place to discuss the specific situation."
As soon as your words finished, the second uncle and the second aunt both exclaimed.
"300,000? Twenty percent?"
The second uncle frowned, waved his hand quickly and said,
"No, no, 300,000 is too much. I can't let you pay 300,000."
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that Li Xiao is helping them. 300,000 yuan accounts for 20% of the shares, which means the total shares are 1.5 million yuan.
Their two broken houses and two broken boats are estimated to cost only 400,000 yuan in total. If they want to sell them, no one may even want 300,000 yuan. After all, the house and two boats in the village have been used.
A long-broken fishing boat.
However, now my nephew wants to use 300,000 yuan to hold 20% of the shares. Isn’t this a bargain for them?
So he refused without even thinking at the first time. He didn't have the face to take advantage of his juniors. He already felt that he owed a huge favor by asking Li Xiao to help him get a live broadcast account.
Seeing his second uncle's refusal, Li Xiao quickly advised,
"Second uncle, don't be too busy rejecting this matter. We will discuss it in detail when we get to third uncle's side. Besides, as for the 300,000 yuan, if the project here is stable by then, I will definitely quit."
"When the time comes, each of you two will give me 150,000, which will allow you to each hold 50% of the shares."
"Maybe you think this 300,000 is a lot of money, but to me, it's actually not a lot of money. After all, my current anchor career is quite good."
With that said, Li Xiao took out his mobile phone and opened the background of Mao Mao Live Broadcast.
His fingers stayed on the column of today's live broadcast income and he said to his second uncle and second aunt,
"Look, this is the total income from two live broadcasts yesterday morning and this morning."
The second uncle and the second aunt quickly got in front of the small mobile phone screen.
"One, ten, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand, one hundred thousand????!!!!"
"One hundred and twelve thousand five hundred?!!"
The second aunt couldn't hold back her surprise and exclaimed loudly.
The second uncle was the first to react. He quickly covered her mouth and shouted in a low voice,
"Are you crazy and shouting so loudly? Are you afraid that the people next to you won't hear you?"
In fact, this is because the second uncle is too sensitive. The houses in the countryside are so far away that no matter how loud you scream in the room, it is impossible for the outside world to notice.
Although the second uncle and the second aunt told him not to panic or be nervous, it could be seen from his trembling lips and trembling fingers that the second uncle was very excited at this time.
You must know that yesterday and today, Li Xiao's live broadcast time was only six or seven hours, which is about half of his working time.
However, in just six or seven hours, Li Xiao actually earned 112,000.
The second uncle swallowed. No wonder he dared to say that 300,000 yuan was no longer a big sum of money.
Seeing Li Xiao's current income level, the second uncle and second aunt looked at each other with a different look in their eyes.
They had previously thought that their nephew was exaggerating when he said he had a high income. In their imagination, tens of thousands of dollars a month was already a lot.
If a live broadcast costs tens of thousands, they simply don't believe it.
However, now that the facts are before their eyes, the real data has left them speechless.
They hesitated for a moment and exchanged glances for dozens of times.
Seeing that the two of them didn't speak for a long time, you smiled and said to them.
"Second uncle, second aunt, don't worry. For me, these 300,000 yuan can be earned in just a few days, so you don't have to be under so much psychological pressure. It doesn't matter whether you succeed or not. It doesn't matter if you lose.
Just think of it as the fact that I earned less by broadcasting for a few days. That would be better, after all, my two cousins are quite old."
I don’t know if it was because Li Xiao said he could earn 300,000 yuan in a few days, or because the two cousins were getting older, but their attitudes suddenly changed.
The second uncle licked his dry lips and spoke softly.
"Then, then the second uncle will become your love, Xiaoxiao, I, I will thank you in advance on behalf of your cousin, but as for your third uncle..."
Li Xiao quickly waved his hand
"If a family doesn't talk to each other, the relationship between our two families is about whether or not to thank them. We will talk to the other third uncle when the time comes, and we will need the help of the second uncle to persuade him."
"Anyway, don't worry. No matter whether you make a profit or a loss with the 300,000 yuan, there will be no problem. Just go ahead and do it boldly."
"Of course, I suggest that you hire someone to drive and deliver goods, and ask your cousin to come back here to learn. After all, in the Internet age, only by advancing with the times can we not be eliminated by society."
"If B&Bs, tourism, and online shopping can really be launched by then, the income will not be just a few thousand a month, but tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands a month."
After some discussion, it was getting late.
The second uncle and the second aunt hurriedly went out and took out the goods that needed to be delivered in the afternoon from the fish steaks.
Of course, this replenishment link may gradually become less and less in the future, or it may be directly done by hired people.
After my second uncle came back in the afternoon, he called my third uncle directly and told me everything that had been discussed at the lunch table today.
The third uncle didn't hesitate too much. After all, the two families were not rich. Now if someone could help them, they would give it a try.
After all, it doesn't matter if you endure hardships all your life, but as a parent, you don't want your children to endure hardships with you.
Now that there is an opportunity for change, of course they are willing to give it a try.
After everything was settled, Li Xiao finally felt relieved. He was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to spend his money.
He was very worried that if his two uncles refused his funds because of face issues or other issues, it would be difficult to deal with it.
After all, he has never done this before and has no experience at all. If he fails, he will be embarrassed to show off to others.
Now it's up to him to invest in the attempt. Even if it fails, the loss will be his own money, so it won't be a big problem.
What he fears most is that he does bad things with good intentions. If he loses the hard-earned money saved by his two uncles, those families may not be able to be relatives in the future.
Because her biological clock was suddenly disrupted, Li Xiao felt confused all day long.
I simply don’t have the energy to continue going out, let alone live broadcast.
I could only stay in the room to do some tidying up work, but I spent the afternoon sorting out the visitors’ arrival dates and making them clear and clear.
The price of the B&B has also been negotiated. A single room is 120. If you have all four rooms in the entire courtyard, you can get a discount. It only costs 400 and you can have the courtyard to yourself.
Li Xiao also immediately bought all the daily necessities needed for the B&B, including bed sheets, bedding, disposable toiletries, and disposable slippers.
As well as some simple electrical appliances, such as televisions, water heaters, hair dryers, air conditioners, and small desk lamps.
Of course, there must be enough decoration in the end. After all, although the style here is simple, it cannot be completely devoid of decoration. Just search for the simple style of B&B in the input field, and a lot of decorations will pop up at once.
Li Xiao thinks that his aesthetic taste is pretty good, and if these stores can get such high ratings, they probably won't be too bad either.
I randomly selected 8 sets, 8 rooms with exactly 8 styles, there should be, it seems, maybe, maybe there is nothing wrong with them.
However, as soon as I placed the order, the waiter at the store sent me an inquiry.
"Dear family, thank you very much for your support of our Xiaomei Simple B&B accessories."
"I see that you have placed 8 sets of decorations with different styles in our store. Are you opening a large B&B here?"
Li Xiao, who was about to turn off the screen and take a rest, frowned. He didn't quite understand what the other party meant.
Quickly type and ask
"No, why do you ask?"
"this..............."
The waiter's finger actually stopped on the button that had been designed to answer the question in a formulaic way.
However, Li Xiao's answer seemed to catch him off guard, and he could only type a long series of ellipses.
But the waiter is also an experienced person. After all, he has to pick up hundreds or thousands of customers a day.
I have seen all kinds of customers, some who bought directly, some who talked a lot, some who didn't buy anything for a long time, some who bought something for more than ten yuan and wanted to give this or that as a gift.
However, people like Li Xiao bought 8 different types in one go. The decorations were not large-scale B&Bs, but this was the first time he saw them.
He hesitated for a moment, then reminded him
“If the guests here don’t want to set a model for different B&Bs, we don’t recommend that you use multiple styles in the same B&B, because strange situations may occur.”
"Is that so?"
Well, Li Xiao touched his chin. Unexpectedly, the design plan that he thought was genius was instantly rejected by the waiter.
Fortunately, he coughed lightly, there was no one around, otherwise he might have died on the spot.
However, after being reminded by the waiter, he seemed to notice that there were four rooms with different styles in a courtyard.
"Then you can help me match it? Two small courtyards, each with 4 rooms. By the way, it's a B&B on the beach."
"No problem, dear, I will prepare it for you right away."
After the waiter answered, two links popped up instantly.
"The above two are very good decorations. They can bring two different styles to two different yards. You can see if they are suitable. If not, I will recommend others to you."
Li Xiao clicked on two links, both of which were decorated in plain and light blue B&Bs. Although the colors were very similar, there were two completely different styles, which looked pretty good.
Since it was the other party who suggested it, Li Xiao believed in the other party's professionalism and quickly returned the eight colorful B&B decorations.
Then I purchased 4 sets from each of the two product links, submitted the order, and paid.
It will arrive tomorrow afternoon. The efficiency of this express delivery is quite good.
I glanced at the time and saw, my dear, it was already past 7pm without realizing it.
Pushing the door open, the fresh aroma of seafood and ginger and green onions wafted in from the outside.
Li Xiao had a smile on his face. It was great to come to his second uncle's house. He could eat different kinds of fresh seafood every day.
He was not polite and sat directly on an empty seat.
As soon as I picked up the bowl, a familiar name came out of the news host's mouth.
[It is reported that Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice in my country, passed away in Changsha at 13:07 today at the age of 91.]
???
Li Xiao suddenly looked up. The bowl in his hand had fallen to the ground at some point. The white porcelain bowl collided violently with the ground and shattered into pieces on the ground.
The floor was covered with broken porcelain pieces, soup, food residue, and the white floor tiles were stained, as if he was feeling a little overwhelmed.
The other people at the table were also attracted by the news host on the TV, and their hand movements stopped.
[This old man who made great contributions to keeping the Chinese people's jobs firmly in their hands has passed away, and the whole country is sad!]
[According to Article 15 of the "Flag Law of the People's Republic of China", when a person who has made outstanding contributions to the People's Republic of China dies, the flag may be flown at half-mast in mourning. 】
[An old man with a pure heart and a childlike dream. He loves this land deeply and is a loyal watcher of the rice fields! Salute and remember! Mr. Yuan, you have a good journey. You are tired, thank you.
,miss!】
Academician Zhong Nanshan’s team [I deeply mourn the loss of Academician Yuan Longping, an unparalleled national scholar. I am grateful for every minute and every second of being in the same time and space with such a great figure as Academician Yuan Longping. The starry sky of this world is bright because of you.]
