Sea-hunting: With the system in hand, my eyes are the ruler

Jiang Han looked at the old man sitting on the dock in a daze, "Are these ships all from the same company?"

"It shouldn't be the same one. I remember there was a private one."

As the old man finished speaking, a passenger ship stopped.

The old man smiled and said, "Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Master Zhang's family is a private family."

Because it was the terminal, apart from the driver, Master Zhang, the only other person who got off the boat was a villager from the island.

The old man waved to Master Zhang and said, "Xiao Zhang, these two young men seem to have something to ask you."

Master Zhang looked at Jiang Han and Cai Chengyan, "What's going on?"

Now the entire Fengshou Island is full of people over 50 years old. And there are only about 50 people left in the entire village.

It was rare for him to see two people so young on Harvest Island.

Jiang Han smiled at Master Zhang, "Master, have you eaten yet? Let's have a meal together."

It is easier for older people like Master Zhang to talk about things while eating.

Master Zhang did not refuse and took them to the only homestay on the island.

This B&B has cooking facilities on the first floor and accommodation on the second floor. The owner and his wife are also elderly people.

"Master Zhang, what would you like to drink?" Jiang Han asked politely.

Master Zhang likes to drink, but he still has to drive the boat in the afternoon. "Let's get a bottle of Coke."

"Okay." Jiang Han asked the boss to get a bottle of Coke for each person.

I also asked the boss to bring out their best dishes.

The boss and his wife couldn't help but look at Jiang Han and Cai Chengyan. He didn't expect that such young people would come to their island.

They opened this B&B here, and the only money they made was from the money of a few drivers.

Master Zhang drank a sip of Coke and ate some food. "Just tell me what you have to say."

Jiang Han didn't beat around the bush. "I heard your boat is private. I'd like to ask if you would consider adding a station."

Master Zhang looked at Jiang Han and said, "You're asking the wrong person. I'm just a boat driver."

Jiang Han smiled. For a private boat like this, even if the boss doesn’t drive the boat himself, the person driving the boat must be someone the boss trusts.

It is very likely that he is a relative of the boss.

"Master Zhang, are there many people taking the boat now?" Jiang Han changed the subject.

Master Zhang sighed, "It was indeed good in the early years, and business was good."

They didn't use this route before. Although their boat was private, their tickets were sold from the public pier.

There was no online ticketing at that time, and passengers had to rely on the ticket seller to decide which ship to take and what ticket to sell to them.

His uncle was very good at handling things, and he would give money to the ticket girls every now and then, and also buy them fruits and clothes.

The benefits the ticket girls get are higher than their monthly salary.

Driven by interests, the ticket girl will first recommend tickets for their ship.

But later on, everything became more and more standardized, and their ship was squeezed out of market share by other ships.

Business was getting harder and harder, so his uncle took him to another route. This route didn't make much money, but at least they could make ends meet.

Master Zhang got angry when he thought about this. "I've been driving a boat for so many years and nothing has ever happened. And the dock sells us tickets and charges a percentage. Who knew they'd kick us out so quickly?"

Jiang Han didn't expect there would be such a story.

"If you add one more stop, you can attract more customers and make more money." Jiang Han brought the topic back to the right place.

Thinking of the past, Master Zhang felt irritated.

In the past, my pockets were full of money, and the girl had touched a lot of it.

When I was young, I spent whatever I had. Now that I’m older, I can’t afford to take care of my family. I can’t even buy good things for my children.

"It's not like you can just add a station casually, and the route can't be changed easily."

"No need to change the route. Just add a station after Harvest Island."

Master Zhang was stunned for a moment, "Tell me about it."

"The final destination of this ship is Harvest Island. If someone on the ship wants to go to another island, you just need to send them to that island after arriving at the final destination and then sail the ship back to Harvest Island. If no one wants to go to that island, you don't need to go around this circle."

"How far is the island?"

"You sail there, it takes about 40 minutes."

Master Zhang laughed. "It takes 40 minutes to sail there and another 40 minutes to come back. Do you know how much fuel I used in those 1 hour and 20 minutes?"

"Master Zhang, no matter how much fuel you consume, as long as you bring people here and suffer losses, I will compensate you twice the loss."

Master Zhang perked up immediately, "Really?"

Isn't it true that the more you lose, the more you earn?

Seeing that cigarettes were for sale in the B&B, Jiang Han bought two packs of Huazi cigarettes and placed them in front of Master Zhang.

"I know the fewer people who come, the greater the losses. I'm making this clear today: when my island officially opens, I'll make sure you earn money even if you bring just one person here."

If there are many people coming and Master Zhang makes money, he won’t have to pay for it.

Therefore, the formal contract must be written very clearly, stating that if the number of passengers on a trip is less than a certain amount, additional fees will be charged.

How much for one customer, how much for two customers...

Anyway, it's much more cost-effective than for him to get a boat specifically for picking up tourists.

Master Zhang put away his cigarette embarrassedly and said, "Wait a moment, I'll ask my uncle."

Master Zhang called his uncle in front of Jiang Han and Cai Chengyan.

After hanging up the phone, Master Zhang looked very happy. "My uncle said that as long as there is money to be made, we will open it."

What Jiang Han discussed with him was a sure win.

Jiang Han smiled and paid for the meal. It was convenient to discuss cooperation with a private individual.

As long as there is money to be made, everything is fine.

Jiang Han and Master Zhang added each other on WeChat. "I'll contact you when my island is developed."
