Chapter 137 Finally Seeing Money Back

In order to enrich the playing experience, tens of millions of dollars have been poured in.

For example, the purchased alpacas, black-nosed sheep, miniature horses and miniature highland cattle, as well as sailing boats, whale watching boats, wave boats, etc., are not cheap.

Not only the construction of the karting track, but also the development of off-road mountain bike routes, plus the preparation of the open-air night market, etc., adding up the expenses of large and small projects, the funds in the account burned quickly, and they were spent inadvertently.

Really high season in Hawaii.

Probably from the end of November to mid-March next year.

In addition, there is summer vacation. Although it is not as lively as the tourist season in winter, it can still attract many students who are on vacation.

This counts.

About half of the year on Lanai belongs to the peak season, and whether you can make money depends mainly on the revenue during this period.

During the off-season, some individual tourists are received. Considering the high local labor costs and the cost of maintaining the facilities, it is already good to have three melons and two dates left, and it is basically impossible to rely on the off-season to make money.

Su Rui only knew that he had spent a lot of money, but he didn't know enough about the current situation of the hotel tourism business.

So when he returned to the hotel suite to take a shower, he asked Amanda's secretary to help him calculate the accounts for the past half a month, wondering how long it would take to recover the cost of the investment in tourism projects.

this afternoon.

A document was sent to Su Rui. There were tables and line charts on the paper, which intuitively reflected the recent operating conditions.

For example, the occupancy rate of the hotel has remained at around 11% in the past week, and the daily revenue is almost [-] US dollars, including revenue from restaurants, spas, and massages.

Judging from the line chart, there is steady progress.

In addition, there are also sightseeing packages sold to the outside world. From last week, only a few dozen tickets were sold in a day, to 270 tickets yesterday. Yesterday, more than 4 US dollars were recorded in one day.

In addition to the bulk of these two incomes.

Other income from diving, whale watching and round-trip ferry tickets brought by some hotel tourists, the total revenue yesterday was more than 16 US dollars.

This is only the income from the hotel and tourism business, and the finances of the Lanai Ranch and the vegetable and fruit farm are not included.

In front of Secretary Amanda, after browsing the data on the document, Suri smiled and said:
"By December, the occupancy rate of the hotel will be almost 12%. By that time, I can rent out the suite I am currently living in, and I can earn more than 100 US dollars a day. With a daily revenue of more than 1000 yuan, I can still make a net profit of 20+ after excluding costs. It is a pity that the construction of the new hotel has not yet started. If there are more than 10,000 luxury rooms, according to the current popularity of Lanai Island, they should be rented out."

Secretary Amanda asked in surprise: "You moved out of the suite, where do you live, on the yacht?"

"That's right, it happens that there are too many guests in the hotel, but it's cleaner to live on my yacht, lest the outdoor swimming pool be like dumplings from morning to night, making my head ache from the noise."

Suri made a simple calculation.

If the current popularity is maintained, until March next year, the total revenue of hotels and tourism may exceed US$3 million.

Of course.

This is just revenue. During the period of receiving so many tourists, the daily expenses are not small.

The specific amount of profit that can be left needs to be calculated separately. At the beginning of attracting tourists, there is no experience that can be used for reference.

With a smile in his tone, he continued:

"I still remember that when I first acquired Lanai Island, only one-tenth of the 200-plus rooms in the Four Seasons Hotel was rented out. The daily revenue of such a large hotel was only a few thousand dollars. Except for some natural attractions and the hotel's golf course, the island has no attractions to attract tourists."

"After being bought by you, the whole island has changed a lot. The pasture looks green and looks much more comfortable than the original pineapple fields."

Secretary Amanda sat on the sofa, helped Suri peel mangoes, and continued:

"Willing to spend money and invest is only one aspect, the more important thing is that you are very influential, whether you release a new album, or have a Facebook account with more than 500 million fans, or finance the establishment of Netflix Entertainment, they are all deepening people's impression of Lanai Island and attracting many tourists to us."

Suri does often find ways to promote Lanai.

He put down the folder, found a comfortable position to lie down and eat mango, sighed and said:

"The tourism and vacation industry is highly competitive, and physical business is really hard to do. To say how good the current performance is, I should be deceiving myself. After all, if I chose not to buy Lanai Island and invested my money in other places, I may have earned a billion dollars in this year."

Daddario is watching cartoons with Otachi, and Ultraman Seven from Japan is playing on TV.

I haven't seen this type of TV series before, but watching this fat cat makes my blood boil, and I can't wait to get into the screen and fight with monsters, stepping on it is full of cat paw prints.

At this time, Daddario turned his head and said:

"My father educated me since I was a child, saying that every decision should be made cautiously, and what is lost will not be repeated. Maybe you can earn a billion dollars, but you may also be hit by a car when you go out, or hit by a stone while walking. Now it's fine, and there is no need to regret it."

Su Rui glanced at Daju, and joked with a smile:

"Thank you Mr. Daddario for teaching me, it is very educational. If I didn't buy Lanai Island, maybe I would be like Hawking now, guarding a large amount of wealth but having nowhere to spend it."

Secretary Amanda says:
"Combining the income from the ranch, it may be difficult to earn back the expenses of buying the island in the short term. However, as long as the profit can be stabilized at around 4000 million US dollars, the value of Lanai Island will rise to 20 million to [-] billion US dollars. This income is not small. After additional investment in the future, the construction of new hotels, and continued advertising to attract tourists, the value may rise to [-] billion US dollars."

"It's not too difficult to make a profit of 4000 million U.S. dollars, but if we want to continue to grow, we must mainly rely on the tourism business, unless the meat quality of the cattle and sheep raised in Lanai Ranch is so good that it can be sold as a luxury product like the Kobe beef brand, and earn me an extra 2000 million U.S. dollars every year."

Shortly after.

Mrs. Li called Su Rui and told her that her childhood sweetheart was already on the flight to Hawaii and would land in about three hours.

Calculate the time, just in time to have dinner together.

In front of Daddario, Suri hung up the phone and said to Secretary Amanda:
"Netflix Entertainment will have a lot of things to do in the future, why don't you handle official business full-time? In addition, I will arrange a job as a life assistant for my mother's best friend's daughter."

If the salary is not cut, more than half of the work can be reduced. Secretary Amanda has no objection to this.

Speaking of the childhood sweetheart Jiang Jiaya, because Su Rui was too mature, she was only treated as a free labor force when she was a child, helping to set up a stall to earn some pocket money.

On the contrary, that little girl wrote him a love letter when she first fell in love.

Afterwards, Su Rui said that she likes mature and sexy types, and has no interest in yellow-haired girls, and she was so angry that she burst into tears.

Just then, I moved to Beverly Hills and went to a private school, so I lost contact naturally.

In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and I didn't expect to have an intersection again.

Daddario was calm on the surface, but he went back to his room and changed into a one-shoulder hip skirt. The waves were turbulent and bottomless.

As a woman, Amanda's secretary guessed Daddario, and wanted to give the other party a blow, and at the same time sighed that she was so young, and at the same time, she lowered her voice and praised that she was about to be bent by her
