CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

Chapter 540 The Plan Has Changed

"Follow this standard? Are you out of your mind? This boat costs over ten thousand, and we only have that much money right now. How are we supposed to buy it?"

Seeing that Gao Qilan changed her mind so quickly, Gao Qilin then told him the price of the ship.

"A boat like this costs more than ten thousand? Isn't that robbery? A boat that looks the same but is different only costs more than three thousand. This is outrageous."

Upon hearing the price, Gao Qilan instantly lost interest in the ships and shifted her attention back to the ordinary vessels.

However, after watching for a while, a method came to him.

"These ships are only different in appearance from the usual ones. In other words, we only need to describe the appearance of the ships, right?"

“Yes, why didn’t I think of that before? We can just buy a regular boat, then buy some paint and fuel, and paint it like this.”

Upon hearing Gao Qilan's words, Gao Qilin suddenly realized what was going on and immediately contacted people to prepare paint.

Upon seeing that Gao Qilin wanted so much paint, the other party looked puzzled and asked in a questioning tone:

"What's wrong with you? Why did you buy so much paint all at once? Are you crazy?"

"Are you crazy? I have a reason for buying those paints. Don't worry about it. Just do as I say, and you'll definitely benefit from it once you buy them."

Although the other party was completely confused, after hearing what Gao Qilin said, he didn't know what to say and simply delivered the paint to him.

In the blink of an eye, the entire water park was covered in paint, leaving no place for tourists to play.

"What are you doing? We've only been open for two days, and you've already made so much stuff?"

Upon seeing Gao Qilin's actions, everyone present looked puzzled, not knowing why he was doing this.

"Don't you think the boat's color is too monotonous? If we use this paint to color the boat and create some nice patterns, it will definitely attract more tourists, and we can make more money that way, right?"

"It's a pain to earn more money this way, but closing for a day will also cause us a lot of losses. You know, this is our peak time, and we can't afford to stop like this. We need to quickly clear these things out before the tourists come."

“I think they’re right. Now is the time when we make the most money. We should focus all our energy on developing this place, not on building it. We can do those things when fewer people come.”

After Gao Qilin said this, the people around him began to express their opinions. Even Zheng Jian, who knew nothing about business, felt that what Gao Qilin did was somewhat illogical.

Seeing that no one agreed with his proposed solution, Gao Qilin looked bewildered and didn't know what to say.

“I know you (bgci) are saying all that for the good of the seaside park, but that’s also why we came up with this method. Besides, who says that having this here will affect the normal flow of tourists?”

Just as Gao Qilin was at a loss, Gao Qilan immediately stepped forward to speak up for him.

As soon as Gao Qilan said this, the room fell silent. However, after a moment of silence, the people still expressed their opinions.

"With those paint buckets in the middle, tourists have to take a detour to get to their destination. How can that not cause problems? If they have a bad experience, they might not come back to our place, and the losses will be even greater."

"What if we made these paint buckets a unique feature of our scenic area?"

"Scenic spot features? How can a paint bucket be a scenic spot feature? Who would spend money to come and see a paint bucket?"

Gao Qilan's words left everyone present bewildered; they couldn't understand how she could consider paint buckets a unique feature of the scenic area.

Their expressions were exactly what Gao Qilan had expected, so she remained calm upon seeing them and said:

"I was just thinking, if we let the tourists paint the boat themselves, we can not only save on labor costs, but also let the tourists experience the fun of doing it themselves. When they come back and see their previous works, they will be in a better mood. What do you think of this plan?"

"That's definitely a good business strategy. How come I didn't think of that? It has to be the CEO who thinks of everything. If you asked us to come up with a solution, we definitely wouldn't have been able to come up with one like that."

Gao Qilan's method immediately gained the approval of many people, but Zheng Jian remained silent and looked very disappointed.

Gao Qilan immediately noticed his expression and asked:

"You don't seem very happy. Do you have any opinions about this plan? If so, please let me know."

Chapter 541 Selling Outside

"If I let all the tourists paint on my food, what will I do with my barbecue? I can't just keep setting up my stall in the scenic area. If someone gets paint on it and eats it, that would be a big problem."

Seeing Gao Qilan say this, Zheng Jian directly voiced his concerns. After he finished speaking, he kept looking at Gao Qilan, wanting her to give him a solution.

"I already thought of this problem, and the solution is very simple: we don't sell inside, we sell outside. This way, we can attract some money from those who didn't buy tickets. Isn't that a perfect solution?"

Upon hearing Gao Qilan's words, Zheng Jian immediately set to work, moving all the tools he needed for barbecuing outside and quickly setting up his stall.

"I hope everyone is satisfied now? If not, let's get started on preparations. Otherwise, we'll be too busy if we wait until the guests arrive tomorrow."

As soon as Gao Qilan said this, the people wisely got to work. In no time, the paint buckets were neatly arranged around the docked ship, and brushes and other tools were prepared nearby.

"Everything is almost ready now. Go buy the boats and try to get them up today so we can start work tomorrow."

Seeing that everything was ready, Gao Qilan urged Gao Qilin to hurry up.

"Why don't you go? It would be really inconvenient for me to go."

At this moment, Gao Qilin looked very troubled. You see, he had just made a boast in front of that shipyard, and it would be really inappropriate to go there now.

"What's wrong with you right now? Is something suddenly come up?"

However, Gao Qilan was unaware of this situation, and when she saw that Gao Qilin did not want to go, she looked very confused.

Faced with Gao Qilan's persistent questioning, Gao Qilin truthfully recounted what had happened at the shipyard.

"You, you're just too proud to admit it, what else could you do but say that?"

After hearing what Gao Qilin said, Gao Qilan couldn't help but complain. However, despite her complaints, she still asked Gao Qilin to stay while she went to the shipyard to make the purchase.

Since he already had a clear goal in mind this time, he was not attracted by the fancy boats when he arrived there, and soon sold all ten boats.

When Gao Qilan took out that much money, the sales clerk's eyes widened, and she said in a tactful tone:

"Isn't it a bit of a waste for you to spend so much money on those ordinary boats? Those boats don't suit your style at all, and you'll definitely be laughed at if you drive them around. How about this, I'll recommend a few that are more aesthetically pleasing. If you're willing to buy them, I'll definitely give you a discount."

Seeing the drastic change in the sales clerk's attitude, Gao Qilan also lost her goodwill towards him. When questioned, she adopted a cold demeanor and said:

"I don't need discounts or anything like that. After all, I only like the ordinary ones. All your fancy and flashy ones are too much for me. So stop talking nonsense in front of me. If you keep going, I might get annoyed and buy them somewhere else."

Upon hearing that Gao Qilan was going to buy something elsewhere, the sales clerk's attitude immediately became much more respectful. He quickly settled the bill, afraid that she might change her mind.

"The place I need isn't far from here. Can you deliver these clothes by tomorrow morning?"

"Don't even mention tomorrow morning, I can deliver the clothes to you today if you need them. Just wait a moment, I'll contact the person in charge of delivering the ship."

Seeing that Gao Qilan was worried about this issue, the salesperson immediately gave her assurances. After he finished speaking, he immediately picked up the phone and made a call. In no time, ten boatmen came in together.

......... . .......

Upon learning where Gao Qilan was going, he readily agreed and immediately prepared to set off.

"It's a bit inappropriate to set sail so late at night. Actually, I'm not in a huge rush. Just send it over tomorrow morning."

Seeing that these people were about to be sent over, Gao Qilan looked very worried, because the sea was basically pitch black at night, and it would be very dangerous to go out to sea at this time.

"These are our best boatmen. The problems you're worried about will definitely not occur, so don't worry. Besides, the place you need isn't far from here. We can get there in no time. It won't delay anything. Now it's almost time, so let's get going. We boatmen have other things to do when we get back."

Seeing that Gao Qilan wanted to postpone the matter until tomorrow, the sales clerk next to her started urging her again, because once their ship went out to sea, refunds would not be possible.

Chapter 542 It turns out they were stopped

Once these ships set sail, Gao Qilan will have no chance to back out.

"If that's the case, then I'll trouble you. Please get on your way quickly, and I'll take a car to meet you at the destination."

Seeing what the salesperson said, Gao Qilan didn't know what else to say. After that, she got into the car and headed to the marine park. Upon arrival, she immediately waited by the boat, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't see any boat coming in. This made her panic instantly, thinking that she might have been scammed. She immediately picked up her phone and made a call.

"What's the situation on your end? Didn't you say the ship could deliver it quickly? It's been so long since September 20th, and there's still no news."

"No news at all? Please wait a moment, I'll find out what's going on."

After hearing what Gao Qilan said, the other party also looked very confused. After speaking, he directly contacted the boatmen and asked about their situation.

"What's wrong with you guys? It took you so long to walk such a short distance? Do you even want to quit? If you don't want to, just say so. Don't waste my time trying to earn money."

"It's not that we don't want to leave, but there's something blocking our way. If we force our way through, those ships will definitely be damaged, and then they'll abandon them. Wouldn't we be the ones in trouble then?"

"What? Something's blocking the way? That shouldn't be the case. We're at sea, how could there be something in front of us? Alright, I have a basic understanding of the situation on your end. Just wait a bit while I make a call to inquire."

After hearing what they said, the salesman looked confused, but he knew in his heart that the boatmen would not lie to him, so he prepared to call and ask about Gao Qilan's situation.

After saying that, the salesperson hung up the phone and dialed the number Gao Qilan had reserved.

Upon learning that she was a sales clerk, Gao Qilan's attitude immediately hardened, and she questioned:

"Weren't you saying the ship would arrive quickly? How come it's been so long and I haven't even seen a trace of my ship? Were you lying about everything before?"

“We’re not lying to you. The ship couldn’t reach its destination mainly because it encountered some problems en route. I heard that the waters around you are all fenced off with wire mesh, and those ships simply can’t get in. Why don’t you replan the route?”

Only then did Gao Qilan realize that Gao Qilin had previously used an iron net to enclose this area of ​​sea, preventing her ship from leaving and other ships from entering.

After learning the problem, Gao Qilan looked quite embarrassed and quickly said:

"Oh, I see. Please wait a moment, I'll have someone remove those nets right away."

After saying that, she hung up the phone immediately, not giving the other person a chance to speak.

After hanging up the phone, she immediately found Gao Qilin and told him about the situation there.

"Those ships have already arrived? I didn't expect them to be so fast. Tell them to wait outside for a moment, I'll go deal with those iron nets right away."

After saying that, Gao Qilin got up and called a few people who were good at dealing with divine beasts to come to the side of the net and clear it away little by little.

After removing the nets, Gao Qilan contacted the shipyard again.

Shortly after a phone call was made, a fleet of fishing boats arrived.
