The fishing ground I opened has become a national leisure destination

Chapter 299 Winter is Coming
The temperature in Chongshi changes very quickly in December. It is below zero at night and only a few degrees during the day. It is also particularly damp and cold, so it is not suitable to go out.

This is winter in the south.

Although the temperature in the north is lower, it is dry and cold in the north. If you wear more clothes, you won’t be too cold. The damp cold in the south is humid. At the same temperature, the damp cold is more bone-chilling.

So in the south in winter, after the rush hour after get off work, no one wants to go out, and the streets are particularly deserted at around eight or nine o'clock. If it weren't for a few pieces of silver, no one would want to go out during the day.

As a result, the fishing ground's business began to decline.

It's declining worse day by day.

"It's just past nine o'clock and Yucheng Village has become deserted. I feel a little uncomfortable." In the main room of Chen Yuan's house, Chen Jun was smoking a cigarette with emotion.

"The main reason is that the temperature is too low, and it's even more humid at night. Even if you sit outside, your clothes will be covered with dew. Even fishermen can't stand it." Chen Guo also sighed.

Chen Mo and Chen Ming, who were sitting next to them, also had their brows furrowed.

Tang Ying and Lin Cuiju didn't say anything, they were just peeling melon seeds and chatting. Chen Li and Yang Yangyang did the same, holding steaming cups of tea.

In fact, business has been declining since the end of November. In December, the downward trend has become more obvious. The daytime situation is slightly better, but night fishing is becoming less and less.

By the middle of the month, night fishing is almost non-existent.

Occasionally there are people who go night fishing, but they basically leave at nine o'clock and dare not fish until late at night or early in the morning.

Business at the entire fishing ground has plummeted, and the entire Yucheng Village has become much quieter as well.

The so-called cold winter is just like this. According to the current situation, business will probably be extremely bleak throughout the coming winter.

"Xiao Yuan, please think of a solution. If we go on like this, the fishing ground business will be blocked." Chen Jun smoked fiercely and looked at Chen Yuan with a depressed look on his face.

This is how business works. When business is good, you are happy no matter how busy you are. But once business gets bad, especially the kind of decline that is more terrifying than a halving, most people can't keep their minds steady.

"What can we do? It's still okay during the day, but at night when the temperature outside is below zero, even fishermen don't dare to fight so hard. No matter how crazy or cruel they are, they are not built to do so." Chen Ming sighed.

Anyone who dares to go fishing at night in winter must be a ruthless person.

"It's not just the fishing grounds, almost all industries are affected. There's no way around it. It's really not suitable to hang out outside in the cold winter." Chen Mo also felt that there was nothing he could do.

There are only two worlds in winter, one inside the quilt and the other outside the quilt.

Fishermen are also human beings. No matter how tough they are, few of them would go fishing at night in the cold winter.

"Big brother and second brother are right. This is a seasonal factor. Any business has off-seasons and peak seasons. Winter is the off-season for fishing. Indoor fishing grounds are not much better. It is the norm."

Chen Yuan held a cigarette in his hand, lit it, took a deep breath and exhaled a long smoke, saying, "It's so cold, not only the fishermen don't want to go outside, but even we don't want to move. Isn't it uncomfortable to stay in the bed or in the air-conditioned room?"

In the coldest months of winter, it is impossible to go out during the day to earn some money, but after get off work, few people want to go out. Even if someone invites you to dinner, you don’t want to go.

Especially on such damp and cold days in the south, it is foggy and seems like it is raining even when it is not raining.

Anyway, since December, Chen Yuan didn't want to go to the fish pond after dinner, especially when riding a tricycle, because the damp and cold wind could crack his face.

"But this is not a solution." Chen Jun frowned and sighed.

He was really anxious.

It is only mid-December now, and the weather in the winter months is not the coldest. The daytime temperature in the twelfth month is around zero degrees, which is cold.

There is not much business now, and it will definitely be worse later. If we want to wait until the temperature gets warmer, we have to wait until spring after the New Year. There will be no escape from three months of bleakness.

Three months.

The employees’ salaries are there, but what about the village’s expenses?
"If this is not a solution, then you think of a solution." Tang Ying glanced at Chen Jun.

"What can I do?" Chen Jun spread his hands and sighed.

He is definitely good at work, no matter it is fish pond or construction, no matter what the work is, as long as it is assigned, he can definitely do it well, but doing business is not his strong point.

"If you have no choice, just stop complaining and stop sighing. I'm tired of hearing it." Tang Ying threw away the melon seed shells and rolled her eyes at Chen Jun in annoyance.

Business is bad and everyone can see it.

Let's think of a solution together. Sighing and groaning will only cause trouble for everyone.

"Okay, you have the final say." Chen Jun was retorted and wanted to say something, but when he saw Tang Ying's eyes, he held it back. He picked up the cigarette on the table, lit it, and started smoking.

"We really need to think of some solutions. If we go on like this, all the money we earned recently will probably be lost in the cold winter." Chen Guo smiled, put out his cigarette and said.

The temperature is getting lower and lower, and business is getting worse and worse. If it continues to decline like this, it will not only be frustrating, but also costly. What I earned before may not be enough to make ends meet.

"Why don't we keep the business open for two months, get through the winter and then reopen after the Spring Festival? By then we'll only need to deal with a cold snap, and it will definitely not be that difficult at other times." Chen Mo suggested.

This is a choice that many fishing grounds will face.

When it's really unbearably cold and business is so bad that it's beyond description, the fishing grounds will indeed choose to close for a holiday, and things will slowly get better after the holidays.

"Stop for a shit, we're open for business, how can we close it at will?" Chen Guo shouted immediately. In the minds of the older generation, business cannot be closed easily, as it is unlucky.

"Why don't we shift our focus? The fishing grounds and the park don't need any employees. We can handle it with just a few of us. We can assign employees to the construction. This will not only speed up the construction progress, but also save some wages." Chen Ming suggested.

This time Chen Guo did not scold him.

Chen Jun also looked at Chen Yuan thoughtfully.

The so-called increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, since increasing revenue is difficult, then starting with reducing expenditure is not impossible.

"Although this can save some costs, it is easy to lose people's hearts." Chen Li, who was holding the teacup and chatting with Yang Yangyang in private, finally looked up and spoke after hearing this.

The villagers trusted Chen Yuan, which is why they gave all the village resources to him for development. More than a hundred villagers also rushed back from other places to build their hometown.

It's only been three months and we have to focus on construction and suspend the treatment of other jobs. No one would feel good about it. If you lose confidence, you might even cause some trouble.

Not worth the candle.

"Xiao Li is right. Not to mention that we can survive the cold winter, the model of Yucheng Village is not suitable for this purpose unless there is really no other way." Yang Yangyang also spoke up.

Yucheng Village is not a company, it’s all folks. This approach may not work even for a company, let alone for folks.

"The business downturn is only temporary. We are not without countermeasures." Chen Li continued with a calm smile.

"What countermeasure?"

Chen Jun, who was smoking in depression, suddenly became expectant. It seemed that Chen Guo and the others were the same, including Tang Ying. Although she did not show any anxiety, who doesn't want business to improve?

Even if we don't continue to reach new heights, it should at least get better.

"Brother, you have something to think about regarding the fishing grounds. Let me talk about the leisure projects."

Chen Li took a sip of hot tea to moisten her throat, and then continued, "Let's talk about the sea of ​​flowers first. Although there are not many kinds of flowers in winter, each one is gorgeous and stunning. There are camellias in winter, plums in December, freesias and strelitzias, etc., and they also cultivate a rose garden."

Under normal circumstances, roses will not bloom in winter because they need a warm environment and sufficient light to promote growth.

But it can be cultivated.

Over there in the sea of ​​flowers, although not as many flowers blooming as in spring, there are still many kinds of flowers in full bloom, and the scenery is very nice. "Also, there are many fruits ripening over there in the orchard, such as sugarcane forest, orange forest, orange, red banana, etc. There are more than ten kinds of fruits, and there is a lot of room for development." Chen Li continued.

Chen Jun and his team don’t quite understand this aspect, after all, it involves activity plans and the like.

But they could understand what Chen Li said next.

"As for the amusement park, although the weather is getting colder and there is occasional drizzle, there are not many tourists coming to play, but the amusement park has a monthly pass, which allows you to play for free. No matter how many times you come, the price remains the same."

After the tsunami pool and water park were replaced with bumper cars and electric rides, the price of the monthly pass has increased and is now 149 per month.

It seems to have increased a lot, up 128 from 21, an increase of nearly one-sixth, which seems a bit high.

But the actual growth of 21 is really not much.

In the city, just a bumper car or electric car ride will cost you more than ten yuan for one ride, and recharging a hundred yuan is nothing more than a discount or one or two free rides.

Not enough to play for half a day.

However, 21 can enjoy free fishing at Chen Yuan Fishing Ground on a monthly basis. Just these two projects can be played for one day, and the monthly fee is recovered, not to mention the increase.

Even though the frequency of customers coming here is not as high as in the previous months, they still come two or three times a month, which is not much different from those in the city.

“How are the monthly pass sales this month?”

When Chen Jun heard that the price remained the same regardless of the number of people coming, his eyes brightened up a little. He was no longer as depressed as before. He looked at Chen Li expectantly and asked.

"Basically, it's the same." said Chen Li.

The business started in August, the monthly card was implemented in September, the peak was in October, and the subsequent November and December were relatively stable.

Monthly card sales are around two thousand.

It is estimated that this sales situation will continue for some time.

"That's good." Chen Jun breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that.

Even if the fishing ground business is bad, the amusement park can still have such business that it can basically guarantee the wages and expenses of the village. Even if it makes a loss, it won't be a big loss.

Maybe you can make a small profit overall.

"No wonder Xiao Yuan insisted on the two paths of leisure and sports from the beginning. The fishing ground and Yucheng Village should be developed together, which can indeed play a role in supporting each other." Chen Guo also smiled with relief.

They are fish pond employees, and what they see most are the conditions at the fishing grounds. They don't know much about the amusement park, they only know that there are very few people there every day.

So I am worried about business.

Hearing Chen Li say this, at least the leisure business provides a stable income, which is not as bad as I imagined.

"I told you not to worry about it. What's the point of sighing and having a cold face every day? I think things are pretty good now." Tang Ying smiled even brighter.

Of course she hopes that the business will be booming, but having this business is also good. If there is no loss, or if there is a small profit, it will be just enough for her sons to take a break and relax.

What's wrong with that?
You know, everyone has been very busy in the past few months, especially Xiao Yuan, who basically stayed up late every day. It’s time for him to have a good rest.

Besides, the business was good before and they made a lot of money. Even the amount on their account had doubled.

She is already very content as she has money to earn, a pair of children by her side, a baby girl and a boyfriend.

"Although the indoor leisure hot spring business is not very hot, there are still some customers. It is not bad on weekends. The member-only area in the back row also has exquisite baffles. Just like the indoor area, the member style is always online."

Chen Li continued.

The leisure sector is indeed not as good as when the hotel opened in August and during the National Day in October. The flow of people is also declining sharply, but overall, the business situation is not bad.

Especially the monthly card.

The cold weather doesn’t bring in as many customers as usual, but it doesn’t affect sales.

"Good good."

Hearing that the hot springs were still doing some business, Chen Jun's face broke into smiles.

Chen Guo and his men's brows also relaxed.

"The most important thing is that the winter projects in Houcun have been completed. The weather is now suitable for snow activities, which I believe will attract a wave of tourists."

As Chen Li spoke, she looked at Chen Yuan.

"Finished?"

Chen Yuan was smoking calmly, and when he heard this, he suddenly looked up in surprise.

He really didn't know the progress of the winter project.

After the National Day holiday in October, Chen Li first arranged for Wang Tao and others to renovate the tsunami pool and water park, and then build sheds and other things.

It doesn’t look like much of a project, but the two pools are several thousand square meters, and the engineering team doesn’t have many people. Both the homestay project and the new rural construction require someone to lead.

So the renovation of both pools took ten days.

Only then did we start to build winter projects. It has been almost two months now, which is considered to be a long time.

Don't know how it's built.

What is the effect.

"I have communicated with Wang Tao. It will be completed tonight and can be inspected tomorrow." Chen Li nodded affirmatively.

She is fully responsible for the leisure aspect. Wang Tao will coordinate with her on all projects, and they will reach a consensus from design to details. Chen Yuan only needs to be responsible for purchasing materials.

"Are there many projects?" Chen Yuan nodded and asked.

"I won't let you down." Chen Li smiled, retaining a hint of mystery.

Chen Yuan smiled and didn't ask any further questions.

Since it can be completely completed tonight, we will know when we go and take a look tomorrow morning.

"For leisure and entertainment, there shouldn't be much of a problem. The impact of the cold winter is relatively small, especially in the fishing areas."

After Chen Li finished talking about the leisure and entertainment situation, Chen Jun and the others obviously had nothing to worry about or be anxious about, so Chen Yuan then went on to talk about the situation at the fishing grounds.

As far as fishing grounds are concerned, the cold winter is a cold winter for the industry. Firstly, the temperature outside is really too low, and secondly, the fish conditions are not very good either.

The ruthless night fishermen will disappear in the cold winter, and many anglers will even choose to put away their fishing rods and wait until the spring to return to the fishing world.

This is the norm.

Even CAA's event arrangements intentionally avoid the cold winter season.

But Chen Yuan’s fishing ground is prepared.
