After dinner, Zhou Sheng pulled Chen Yuan and asked, "How much money is there in the Coral Coast Hotel's account?"
"More than seventy million." Chen Yuan said.
"Why so little? The hotel's business has been so good this year," Zhou Sheng said.
The underwater coral reefs of Xiaoshan Island have been hailed as the most beautiful coral reefs in China, attracting diving enthusiasts from all over the country, and are even rated as China's diving resorts by many people.
There are many corals and many fish.
Popular activities on Xiaoshan Island are diving and fishing.
This year, the Coral Coast Hotel’s occupancy rate has basically reached 60% during non-holidays. On holidays, it’s impossible to book hotel rooms.
"Hotel management doesn't cost money, and there's also salary." Chen Yuandao: "You need money?"
"Transfer me 30 million."
"OK."
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng went to the garage, wiped the dusty Lamborghini, drove the car, took Zhou Sheng to the bank, and transferred 30 million to Zhou Sheng.
“Let’s get going, there will be a wave of consumption in Sanya.”
"What should I buy when I go to Sanya?" Chen Yuan didn't want to run away, he wanted to go back to be with his wife.
"Buy a Rolls-Royce." Zhou Sheng said, "Xinxin is pregnant with a child. I want to give her the best. I want to buy a Cullinan or a Ghost. Take me there and give you one."
"Gan. Nouveau riche..." Chen Yuan laughed and stepped on the accelerator to the gas station.
"Is the hotel still hiring?" Zhou Sheng said.
"We're not hiring anymore, so what are we going to do?"
"My brother-in-law has a little cousin, and he asked us to ask if there is anyone else here." Zhou Sheng said, "Can you put one more person in?"
"Okay. You can tell Xu Xin that there is no problem in arranging another job." If you arrange another job, according to the minimum monthly salary, you will be paid an extra hundreds of thousands a year.
He and Zhou Sheng often cost thousands for a bottle of red wine.
The salary at the Coral Coast Hotel is similar to that at most five-star hotels. The minimum monthly salary is more than 2,000, and most are between 3,000 and 4,000. The salary of diving instructors is relatively high, around 7,000.
However, there are attendance bonuses and various miscellaneous rewards in the hotel. As long as you work normally in a month, after paying five insurances and one fund, you will actually get at least about 10,000 yuan. For example, diving with better treatment
Coaches and safety officers actually get more than 15,000 yuan per month. Some can get more than 20,000 yuan. These are the money employees get after deducting five social insurances, one housing fund and personal tax based on their real income.
The Coral Coast Hotel has been rated five stars.
And staying at the Coral Coast Hotel costs at least 2,100 yuan a night. Hotel services must be in place, so the requirements for employees are higher than those of ordinary five-star hotels, and there is also the issue of diving safety... Overall, the hotel
Operating costs are also more expensive.
"Cheung Chau is going to develop real estate and hotels." Zhou Sheng asked, "Will it have any impact on Xiaoshan Island?"
"It has an impact," Chen Yuandao said.
Cheung Chau is opposite the small mountain island, 5 kilometers away. There is a land with a width of 1.3-1.7 kilometers, backed by a lagoon and facing the sea, with a beach.
Behind Cheung Chau is a lagoon. The lagoon is quite large, covering dozens of square kilometers, but it has only one outlet to the sea and its tidal capacity is limited.
In recent years, Wanxian's lagoon has received a lot more tidal volume, and the fishing rafts inside have also been installed.
Hainan's economy is developing rapidly.
Many small cities in the mainland have stopped housing development, while Hainan is still undergoing large-scale construction. As time goes by, Hainan's high-quality coasts are becoming less and less.
Cheung Chau has been well managed in recent years. It faces the sea, has more than ten miles of beaches, and is backed by a lagoon. In addition, the coral reef resources in Cheung Chau waters have recovered in recent years, and some villages have spontaneously started tourism.
Wanxian had approached Chen Yuan before and asked whether the development of the Cheung Chau tourist belt would affect the coral reefs of Xiaoshan Island...
Chen Yuan's promise is... yes.
However, the value of the land in Cheung Chau is too high. If it is developed, the amount of hot money invested will be calculated in the hundreds of billions. Even if the land is sold, Wanxian will make a lot of money.
Moreover, the demolition of Cheung Chau will lead to a large number of people becoming rich.
With the internationalization of the RMB, a large amount of hot money from the global market has poured into Hainan Island.
Wan County obviously wants to promote the construction of the Cheung Chau tourist belt and turn it into a tourist destination similar to Lingshui Bay and Haitang Bay.
However, in order to promote this project, we must first pass the environmental protection test.
If it weren't for environmental pressure, the Cheung Chau project would probably have already started.
"Secretary Wan came to see me," Zhou Sheng said.
"He also looked for me." Chen Yuan glanced at Zhou Sheng.
"Constructing Cheung Chau and discharging the treated sewage into the lagoon should not cause too much damage to the coral reefs," Zhou Sheng said.
"Not only will hotels be developed in Cheung Chau, but also villa areas." Chen Yuan thought for a moment: "Did Secretary Wan give you benefits?"
"No."
"Then tell me this."
"Just discuss it." Zhou Sheng added: "I think it is good to develop Cheung Chau. When Cheung Chau is developed, you can buy a house in Cheung Chau in the future. And you don't have to go very far to go shopping in the future... Also Our children will go to school when they grow up, and it will be good for us if Cheung Chau is developed."
If Wan County wants to develop Cheung Chau, the biggest problem it faces is environmental protection and coral environmental protection.
The small island is surrounded by a coral reserve, which is under guard and not under the jurisdiction of Wanxian County.
If you want to develop Cheung Chau, relevant units must make an overall assessment of the project.
The Xiaoshan Island Coral Reserve is supervised and managed by the marine management department. Moreover, the corals here are valued by the higher authorities, and many marine research institutes are conducting research on coral reproduction.
There is no successful research at the institute, but the corals on Xiaoshan Island lay small eggs once a month on average. There will be a major reproduction every three or four months. At that time, the sea area around Xiaoshan Island is full of coral eggs.
The waters around Xiaoshan Island are already overgrown with corals.
Now every time corals spawn, fishing boats come to collect these coral eggs, and then cultivate them artificially... and then put the cultivated coral polyps to Xisha for reproduction.
It seems that using coral polyps to build an island is not a fantasy now. However, compared with filling the island with sand, the speed is much slower. Coral polyps can only be used to expand the island...
There is a small island group in the north of Sansha that has become a test site for coral expansion. This summer there were several typhoons, and the waves rolled up the corals... Some of the large barrier reefs around the small island have already been exposed to the sea level at low tide.
Another advantage of using coral polyps to expand the island is that it causes little or no damage to the environment.
In just a few years, this project has begun to bear fruit. If it continues for a few more years, those small island groups may actually be connected by coral skeletons, eventually forming a large island of tens of square kilometers, or multiple larger islands.
