Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!

After eating and drinking his fill, Wu Sui stood at the bow of the boat and smoked a cigarette.

Su Ruoxue also asked for one, which surprised Wu Sui.

"What? I can't smoke?"

Wu Sui looked at her and shook her head.

"No, I just didn't expect you to smoke."

Su Ruoxue smiled, lowered her guard, and leaned against the ship's railing.

"I don't smoke often, but sometimes I'll have one when I'm thinking."

Wu Sui nodded without saying much, then suddenly thought of a female celebrity.

He looked at the island in front of him again and recalled when the movie "If You Are the One" was released.

In his past life, he was a poor loser who had never been to a movie theater and watched pirated movies online.

I can't remember exactly when it was released, but it's definitely not now.

If "Mazu" can be made into a film, why can't we invest in another movie?

"Dad, take the boat to the rocky area on the back of the island and let the bosses fish there for a while. Then come back to pick us up around three o'clock in the afternoon."

Wu Jianguo was stunned for a moment. Seeing that his son was going to the island, he didn't ask any questions and went to the wheelhouse to start the boat.

Wu Sui turned to look at Su Ruoxue and Su Yu.

"Come on, let me take you on a tour of the island to help you digest."

The three climbed up the gentle slope to the shore.

The island is covered with lush vegetation, and the air is filled with a faint scent of grass and trees.

Wu Sui led the way, using a stick to clear away the weeds.

"Sister Ruoxue, this island is more than 30 nautical miles from Taoyuan Town Wharf. It only takes us a little over two hours to get there by ordinary fishing boat like ours."

He pointed to a small stream in front of him.

"Most importantly, the island has fresh water and is surrounded by large coral reefs, making it a natural place for sea fishing, diving, and beachcombing."

Su Ruoxue followed behind, looking around, and seemed to understand what Wu Sui meant.

"You want to develop this island?"

"I have that idea." Wu Sui stopped in her tracks.

"If a resort hotel is built on the island in the future, along with a few speedboats and water recreation facilities, it would be great."

"If the village develops some unique tourism projects, do you think it will attract tourists?"

Su Ruoxue pushed aside the branches in front of her, her tone becoming serious.

"Ah Sui, this is no small project."

She walked to a flat rock and stood still.

Do you know Wuzhizhou Island in Lucheng?

Wu Sui nodded.

Su Ruoxue continued, "In 92, the Sun brothers from Qingdao obtained the development rights for that island."

"But because of the real estate speculation in the South China Sea Province a few years ago, which was like a game of musical chairs, many unfinished projects were left on the island."

"Construction on Wuzhizhou Island only resumed this year after a long delay."

"As for when we can officially receive tourists and whether we can recoup our investment, no one can say for sure."

Do you know how much money they invested?

She stared at Wu Sui.

"Island development requires large investments, has a long cycle, and the cost of infrastructure construction is several times that of the mainland."

"What makes you think this nameless, deserted island can actually be built?"

Wu Sui learned about the fire on Wuzhizhou Island after the movie "If You Are the One" was released.

But who says movies can't be released early?

He watched that movie several times. Although he couldn't remember the details, he could recall the plot.

At worst, I can write the script, invest in it, make the movie, and change the filming location to this freshwater island.

It can generate box office revenue and promote tourism, so it's a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

He broke off a twig and drew a circle on the ground.

"Wuzhizhou Island was not developed before because it was originally a military island."

"Our island is different; it's a deserted island. As long as we can contract it, we can start developing it immediately."

"I don't plan to become fat overnight."

Wu Sui scratched his head and revealed his plan.

He covered everything from simple sea fishing, diving, and beachcombing to later projects such as hotel development, marine park construction, and aquaculture area planning.

After listening, Su Ruoxue remained silent for a long time.

She originally thought Wu Sui was just a lucky fisherman.

But now it seems that his business acumen and risk control abilities are in no way inferior to those of the company's investment managers.

Wu Sui didn't follow up with Su Ruoxue's words and continue to make grand promises, nor was he in a hurry to ask for investment commitments.

He turned around and led the siblings into the heart of the island.

Take them to see freshwater, the scenery on the island, the resources along the coast, and so on.

Su Ruoxue has seen too many entrepreneurs who, once they get a business plan, dare to boast about disrupting the industry and creating a market worth billions.

But Wu Sui was different. He broke down what seemed like a massive island development project into several concrete steps that could be implemented and generate revenue.

He even considered the most easily overlooked details, such as waste disposal, in advance.

"It's a real shame to have your brains stuck in a fishing village," Su Ruoxue said, offering a genuine compliment for the first time ever.

"Sis, Sui-ge, are you done chatting?"

Su Yu called out from a short distance away, "You promised to take me beachcombing! What time is it? The tide's about to come in!"

Wu Sui smiled and threw down the branch in his hand: "Come on, I'll show you what real beachcombing is like."

The three of them bypassed the rocky area and came to a flat mudflat.

Today is the 15th of the lunar calendar, which happens to be the time of low tide.

The tide has receded far, leaving behind a large expanse of sand and mud.

"Look carefully." Wu Sui squatted down and pointed to a small bulge in the mud.

"These bulges after the tide goes out definitely indicate there's something underneath."

Without a sand shovel, he could only use a wooden stick to dig diagonally down into the sand hole.

The mud and sand were turned over, revealing a shellfish the size of an egg.

"These are swan eggs, and their scientific name seems to be *Cypripedium purpureus*."

"It's a type of clam, but it has more meat than a flower clam and tastes very fresh."

"Holy crap, it's that simple?" Su Yu's eyes lit up, and he quickly came over, picked up the seashell, and weighed it in his hand.

Wu Sui stood up and patted the mud off his hands.

"Nobody comes to this mudflat usually, but it's full of good stuff. Let's have a competition and see who finds the most."

Su Ruoxue hesitated at first, looking at the muddy ground.

You can see that Su Yu is already bent over digging a hole in the mud, and he has dug out several large clams. His competitive spirit is also rising.

She rolled up her trousers, took off her shoes, and stepped into the mudflats.

"Sister Ruoxue, try digging into that bubbling hole on your left," Wu Sui reminded her from the side.

Following Wu Sui's example, Su Ruoxue used her hands to dig through the mud and sand, and soon felt something hard.

With a strong tug, she pulled out a menacing stone crab.

"We caught it!" she exclaimed in surprise.

He spotted a ditch crisscrossed by puddles and shouted to Su Yu, "Yu, there's movement in that ditch over there, probably a giant conch."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu immediately dropped the small clam in his hand and ran over, stumbling along the muddy path.

"Where? Where? I can't see it?" He looked down and searched the ditch.

"Take two more steps forward, under the water plants."

Su Yu excitedly took a step forward.

It turned out that the place looked flat, but it was actually a mud pit.

He missed a step and, with a "splat," fell forward, hitting his head hard on the mudflats.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!" Su Yu scrambled to his feet, wiped his face, and found himself covered in mud.

Su Ruoxue was stunned for a moment, then burst into unrestrained laughter.

She laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight, one hand covering her stomach and the other pointing at Su Yu.

"Su Yu, you...you look like this, I have to take a picture of it when we get back to show my parents!"

Su Yu glared at Wu Sui, annoyed: "Brother Sui, you tricked me!"

Wu Sui shrugged, looking completely innocent: "I only said there were conches, not that there were no pits. Beachcombing is all about taking things by surprise."

The laughter of the three echoed across the mudflats.

Looking at her younger brother's comical appearance, Su Ruoxue suddenly felt a long-lost sense of relief.

In Shanghai, the siblings rarely have such unrestrained moments of joking around.

At that moment, she suddenly understood what Wu Sui had said earlier.

Tourism sells more than just scenery; it sells the sense of participation that allows people to let their guard down and be completely immersed in the experience.
