Chapter 853 Definitely Capable
He hadn't expected the situation to be this dire. He now finally understood why, despite Shen Qiang training so many people, the search progress was still so slow.
It wasn't that those people lacked ability, but rather that their physical conditions simply couldn't withstand the strain. Some places were simply unsuitable for living, leading to frequent staff turnover and everyone's poor health.
"Alright, we still have an important task: recruiting more people. Uncle Wen, I'll leave this task to you. The people I found before are in pretty good physical condition, so let them fill in for now."
"Don't worry, I've learned from my last experience, and the people I've found this time are definitely capable. It's just that all of this requires financial support."
Wang Yang did the math and realized he currently had about ten million yuan in funds. The factory was expected to generate several hundred thousand yuan in monthly income after production began, while the clinic's income was relatively low. Based on this, maintaining normal operations seemed almost impossible.
"We'll discuss this further once we get there. At this rate, we really don't have enough funds, and I can't think of any other solutions."
The main problem is that Wang Yang previously had very few businesses. He originally relied entirely on the profits from his clinic, plus treating wealthy patients, to make ends meet. After moving to Haicheng, he had almost no income during that period.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, Wang Yang. How about this, you and I will handle the money-making. After all, I have experience running companies and I'm quite experienced in this area."
Shen Qing realized that he could no longer indulge in personal emotions as he had before. So many people were working hard to find the Peach Blossom Spring, and this matter was closely related to him.
"That's great. With your help, things should go much more smoothly. After all, you've run a company before, so you should know very well how to generate profits quickly."
Wang Yang smiled with relief. He had long known that Shen Qing wouldn't remain depressed forever; once she rallied, she would definitely become an important asset to them.
"The key issue is that although I have managed companies and know how to make a profit, we currently do not have any assets, which is indeed a problem."
"It's alright, we should be able to find a solution once we arrive in the Northwest region. I'm considering whether we can develop some industries there?"
Wang Yang had been thinking that if he were to develop industries in Beicheng, he wouldn't be able to personally oversee them, and he was ultimately not entirely at ease.
Although Qin Yuqing and her aunt both live in Beicheng, there are some matters that must be handled personally, and they also have their own companies to manage.
"You mean, it's best to generate revenue locally?"
“That’s right. This way, it’s easier for us to coordinate various aspects when we’re operating locally. But the Northwest region is relatively underdeveloped economically, and I can’t think of any good solutions right now.”
Moreover, if industries are to be developed in the Northwest, the scale cannot be too large, otherwise it will arouse Shen Qiang's suspicion.
"In fact, the economy of Northwest China has developed in recent years, but there is a significant shortcoming: the accommodation conditions are too poor. Because of this, tourists are not willing to stay for long. They either set up tents in the wild, which also poses safety hazards."
Wang Yang had conducted research beforehand and also read many online comments in his spare time. He discovered that many people actually wanted to go to Northwest China to experience its unique scenery.
The photos we usually see are mostly posted by locals or officials. Although they are very attractive, people hesitate when they think about the accommodation conditions and safety issues.
"I think the best direction for the development of Northwest China is tourism. Many people want to travel here, and its biggest advantage is its natural scenery. However, after tourists come, they are not very satisfied with the conditions in various aspects."
Wang Yang had a good relationship with a local shop owner, but the inn was indeed too basic; even so, it was already a relatively well-known place to stay in the area. "You mean we can open a hotel?"
"That's not all. We not only want to open hotels, but also develop a chain of hotels so that all the tourist attractions in the Northwest can offer accommodations comparable to those in the North City. This should attract more tourists."
In fact, the Northwest is not lacking in appeal; many people are drawn to it after seeing online advertisements. The only obstacle is the accommodation situation. If this problem can be solved, it will undoubtedly have great potential.
But why was no one willing to invest in this area before? Because they felt that even if the tourism industry developed, it would be difficult to sustain and the risks were too high.
“I think we can start from this direction. Anyway, I’m sure that Peach Blossom Spring is in this area. Even if these investments don’t bring in a lot of returns, we won’t lose money.”
After all, Wang Yang and his group would likely be staying in the area for quite some time.
"Have you estimated how much capital would be needed to open hotels in various tourist attractions?"
"I definitely don't have enough funds on hand. A rough estimate would be around 20 million, which is still far from enough. However, if you want to invest, I can find someone to cooperate with."
Wang Yang's first thought was Xiaoxue. Ten million was nothing to Xiaoxue, but he was currently short of that money. Xiaoxue had already lent him some people, so getting her to invest shouldn't be difficult.
However, Wang Yang thought it would be nice if Xiao Rou were here. She has always been more interested in investing.
Although they are good friends, they have different ideas about making money. Xiaoxue prefers to cooperate with large companies, while Xiaorou is better at finding business opportunities and is keen to invest in projects that seem unprofitable at first.
She loves this feeling of adventure and challenge. But Xiaoxue said she hasn't been able to contact Xiaorou for a long time.
"Here's what we'll do: after we arrive at our destination, I'll contact another friend. If she's willing to participate, funding won't be a problem. That way, we should be able to make a considerable profit in the Northwest."
In this way, they can obtain a stable income locally. Moreover, as long as Xiaorou operates in the foreground and Wang Yang doesn't show his face directly, Shen Qiang won't notice anything amiss.
This matter cannot be handled alone; a trusted friend must help cover for them. Otherwise, Shen Qiang will quickly discover that they have invested in a hotel in the area, meaning they intend to remain there permanently.
With Shen Qiang's shrewdness, he would immediately see that Wang Yang was convinced that Peach Blossom Spring was located here, which was why he was investing so heavily. If that happened, the Northwest region would also become his target, which would be a net loss.
"Okay, let's rest in the car for a while. We should be arriving soon. You can make detailed plans after we arrive. Wang Yang, you should focus on handling the hotel matters during this time, since we are indeed short of funds."
Wang Yang nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, you guys focus on investigating that matter. Leave the funding to me and Shen Qing. I'll discuss it with that friend when I get back and contact her as soon as possible."
Five or six hours later, it was already the next morning. Wang Yang slowly opened his eyes and saw the sun rising in the east; they were about to reach their destination. They checked into the same hotel that Boss Zhang had stayed at last time.
Although it's called a hotel, it's more like a small inn. Mr. Zhang had been waiting at the shop for quite some time after receiving the news.
