Start by trimming cow hooves

In order to enrich the playing experience, tens of millions of dollars were invested.

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

Not only did he build a go-kart racing track, but he also opened up cross-country mountain bike routes, plus preparations for an open-air night market. The expenses for large and small projects added up, and the funds in his account burned up very quickly, and they were spent carelessly.

The real peak season in Hawaii.

It will probably start from the end of November and last until mid-March next year.

There is also summer vacation. Although it is not as lively as the winter tourist season, it can still attract many students on vacation.

It works out like this.

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

During the off-season, we receive some individual tourists. Considering the high local labor costs and the cost of maintaining facilities, it is good to be able to leave only three melons and two dates. We basically can't expect to make money in the off-season.

Suri only knew that he had spent a lot of money and did not know enough about the current situation of the hotel tourism business.

So when he returned to the hotel suite and took a shower, he asked secretary Amanda to help him tally up the accounts for the past half month and wanted to know how long it would take to recover the cost of investing in the tourism project.

That afternoon.

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

For example, the hotel occupancy rate has remained at around 70% in the past week, with almost US$110,000 being booked every day, including restaurant, SPA, massage and other revenue.

Judging from the line chart, there is progress while maintaining stability.

There are also sightseeing packages for sale to the outside world. From last week, only a few dozen tickets were sold in one day, up to 270 tickets yesterday. Yesterday, more than 40,000 US dollars were sold in one day.

Except for the bulk of these two incomes.

In addition, some hotel tourists brought in income from diving, whale watching and round-trip boat tickets. The total revenue yesterday was more than 166,000 US dollars.

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

In front of Secretary Amanda, after browsing the data on the file, Suri smiled and said:

"By December, the hotel occupancy rate will be almost 100%. By then, I can rent out the suite I'm living in now, and I can earn more than a thousand dollars a day. With a daily revenue of more than 200,000 yuan, I can make a net profit after deducting costs. Hundreds of thousands, wouldn’t it be great, but it’s a pity that the construction of the new hotel has not started yet. If there are more than 300 luxury rooms, according to the current popularity of Lanai, they should all be rented out.”

Secretary Amanda asked in surprise: "Where will you live after you move out of the suite? On the yacht?"

"That's right, there just happen to be too many guests in the hotel. Living on my yacht will make it quieter, so that the outdoor swimming pool will not be like dumplings from morning to night, making my head hurt."

Suri did the math simply.

If the current popularity is maintained, the total revenue from hotels and tourism may exceed US$15 million by March next year.

Of course.

This is just revenue. With so many tourists received during this period, the daily expenses are not small.

The specific amount of profit left needs to be calculated separately. It has just begun to attract tourists, and there is currently a lack of experience that can be used for reference.

He spoke with a smile and then said:

"I still remember when I first acquired Lanai, only one-tenth of the more than 200 rooms in the Four Seasons Hotel were rented out. The daily revenue of such a large hotel was only a few thousand dollars. In addition to some natural attractions on the island, and The hotel’s golf course has no attraction for tourists.”

"After being acquired by you, the entire island has changed drastically. The pasture looks green and looks much more comfortable than the original pineapple fields."

Secretary Amanda sat on the sofa, helping Suri peel the mango, and continued:

"Being willing to spend money and invest is only one aspect. What's more important is that you, boss, are very influential. Whether you release a new album, have a Facebook account with more than five million fans, or raise funds to establish Netflix Entertainment, everything is deepening. People’s impressions of Lanai attract 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 ate mangoes, sighed and said:

"Competition in the tourism and vacation industry is fierce, and it is really difficult to do physical business. To say how good the current performance is is to deceive oneself and others. After all, if I had chosen not to buy Lanai and invested my money elsewhere, in the past year, , maybe already made a billion dollars.”

Daddario was watching cartoons with Daju, and Japan's Ultraman Seven was playing on the TV.

I have never seen a TV series of this type before. Watching this fat cat made my blood boil with excitement. I wanted to get into the screen to fight the monster and step on its face with cat paw prints.

At this time, Daddario turned his head and said:

"My father has taught me since I was a child that I should be cautious in making every decision, and what I lose will not come back again. You may make a billion dollars, but you may also get hit by a car or hit by a stone when you go out. Now it's very common. Well, there’s no need to regret it.”

Su Rui glanced at Daju and said with a smile:

"Thank you Mr. Daddario for giving me lessons, which are very educational. If I hadn't bought Lanai Island, maybe I would be like Hawking now, guarding a large amount of wealth but having nowhere to spend it."

Secretary Amanda said:

"Coupled with the income from the ranch, it may be difficult to recoup the cost of purchasing the island in the short term. However, as long as profits can be stabilized at around US$40 million, the value of Lanai will rise to US$800 million to US$1 billion. This will The profit is not small. When additional investment is made later, new hotels are built, and advertising continues to attract tourists, the value may rise to two billion US dollars."

"Forty million US dollars in profit is not too difficult, but if you want to continue to grow, you have to rely mainly on the tourism business, unless the cattle and sheep raised in Lanai Ranch have amazingly good meat quality and can be sold as luxury goods like the Kobe beef brand. Make me an extra ten or twenty million dollars a year."

Shortly after.

Mother Li called Suri and told her that her childhood sweetheart was already on a 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 said to Secretary Amanda after hanging up the phone:

"In the future, Netflix Entertainment will have more things to do. How about you be responsible for handling official affairs full-time? In addition, we will arrange a life assistant position for my mother's best friend's daughter."

Without a salary cut, he would be able to do half the work, and Secretary Amanda had no problem with that at all.

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

That little girl, on the other hand, had written a love letter to him when she first fell in love.

Afterwards, Suri said that she liked mature and sexy types and was not interested in yellow-haired girls, which made her burst into tears.

After that, I moved to Beverly Hills to study in a private school, and naturally we lost contact.

So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I never expected that we would meet again.

Daddario looked calm on the surface, but he went back to his room and changed into a one-shoulder hip-hugging skirt, which was choppy and bottomless.

As both women, Secretary Amanda guessed that Daddario wanted to give him a blow. She sighed that it was great to be young. At the same time, she lowered her voice and praised her, saying that she was almost broken by her.
