Windy: The leisurely life of the village owner

Xie Linfeng said and smiled at Xiao Lin:
"If you want to find him, why not just call him and we'll find out!"

Hearing Xie Linfeng's words, Xiao Lin couldn't help but shrink his head slightly and said:
"Then forget it. When I call him later, he will teach me a lesson again!"

"I'm just asking. He doesn't like people calling to disturb him when he's fishing!"

Xie Linfeng laughed a little when he heard this. It seems that Xiao Lin is quite afraid of Lao Lin!

So, Xie Linfeng teased: "Then do you want to go look for it?"

"Or... I'll call him and ask?"

Hearing this, Xiao Lin pondered for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Okay, just call and ask where he is."

"Anyway, I don't dare to call him. If you do, he probably won't lose his temper!"

Hearing this, Xie Linfeng nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll fight!"

With that said, Xie Linfeng took out his cell phone and dialed Lao Lin's number.

The two had already left each other's contact information before, so Xie Linfeng had Lao Lin's phone number.

Soon, the call was connected, and Lao Lin's voice appeared on the other end.

"Hey, is it brother Xie? Did you call me for something?"

Xie Linfeng heard this and replied: "Brother Lin, are you fishing by the lake now?"

When Lao Lin heard this, he smiled and said, "Yes, I'm at the same place as Lao Huang and the others!"

The old position in Lao Lin's mouth refers to Xie Linfeng's old fishing position.

Ever since I met Lao Huang last time at Lao Diao Wei, the place was jokingly called the old place.

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he said with some doubts:

"Hey, are you at the same place today? Didn't you continue fishing on the boat?"

Hearing this, Lao Lin smiled and said, "Not today. Xiao Chen went fishing elsewhere today and took the boat away."

"So, today I am fishing in the same place with Lao Huang and Lao Chen!"

"What about you, do you want to come over for fishing today? I just have a spot reserved for you!"

Yesterday, the boat belonged to Xiao Chen. Today, Xiao Chen took the boat to another place for fishing.

It’s no wonder that Lao Lin and the others didn’t continue fishing today.

Hearing Lao Lin's invitation, Xie Linfeng chuckled and said:

"Isn't there something going on today? I'm with Brother Xiaolin."

"Well, let's come over later and watch you fishing. I won't be fishing myself today!"

Hearing this, Lao Lin chuckled and said, "Okay, come over then, you know the location!"

"Okay!" Xie Linfeng nodded after hearing this, and then the two hung up the phone.

After putting away his phone, Xie Linfeng looked up at Xiao Lin and said with a smile:
"How about it, do you want to go to the lake together?"

Hearing this, Xiao Lin nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go and see it together!"

Seeing Xiao Lin nodding, Xie Linfeng led Xiao Lin towards the lake.

Soon, the two came to Xie Linfeng's old fishing spot by the lake.

As soon as they walked to the pavilion, they saw Lao Lin and three others fishing at Xie Linfeng's old spot.

The location where Lao Lin is now is Xu Hongdou's previous fishing position.

And where Xie Linfeng was fishing was Lao Huang.

Only Chen Nanxing’s original fishing spot is now unoccupied.

And Lao Lin just said that he had reserved a fishing position with Xie Linfeng, so I'm afraid that's where he meant it.

Following the path beside the pavilion, Xie Linfeng and Xiao Lin came to the lake together.

Seeing Xie Linfeng and Xiao Lin arriving, Lao Lin first said hello to Xie Linfeng.

Then, he looked at Xiao Lin and said with a serious expression:

"Why are you here? Have you already taken care of the matter at Brother Xie's Villa?"

When Xiao Lin heard this, he nodded obediently and said:
"Well, Master Li and the others have re-examined it and discussed the specific matters with Boss Xie."

"All kinds of materials and workers will be available in the afternoon."

Hearing this, Lao Lin nodded and said noncommittally:

"That's good. Remember to do a good job. Is there any discount for Brother Xie on the price?"

When Xiao Lin heard this, he nodded quickly and said, "We already have a discount!"

"Eighty or so street lights, plus about forty surveillance cameras, totaled only 50 yuan."

After hearing this, Lao Lin pondered for a moment, seeming to be calculating something.

After a moment, Lao Lin nodded and said:
"Yes, the original price should be around 60."

"You charge 50, which is indeed a discount enough!"

After saying that, Lao Lin looked at Xie Linfeng again and said with a smile:
"Thank you, brother, this price is already the lowest price we can offer."

"If it's any lower, I'm afraid we'll lose money, so..."

Hearing this, Xie Linfeng chuckled, nodded, and said with a smile:

"It's okay, the price is already very favorable, I understand!"

"I would also like to thank Brother Lin for the discount, which saved me a lot of money!"

When Lao Lin heard this, he laughed and said:

"What do you mean a large sum of money? Brother Xie, you are too humble."

"Your monthly income from fishing fees alone cannot be less than 40, right?"

“And there are so many projects in the villa such as supermarkets, restaurants, temporary rental housing, etc.”

"The monthly income from any project is probably not lower than the income from fishing fees!"

"So, this little money is just a small sum of money to Brother Xie!"

Lao Lin's words were somewhat conservative.

The current projects in the villa include temporary rental houses and small B&Bs that have not yet been officially opened.

Whether it is a supermarket or a restaurant, the monthly income is much higher than the income from fishing fees.

Especially for restaurants, their income has exceeded fishing fees several times.

The current income details of the villa are:

The fishing fee is about [-] to [-] per day.

There are a total of twelve rooms in the temporary rental house, which are filled with tourists almost every day.

The room rate per room ranges from one hundred to one hundred and fifty.

All in all, the income is just over 1000 yuan a day.

The income from supermarkets is variable, with an average daily net income of about [-] yuan.

The income from fishing fees is almost the same, sometimes even more.

As for the restaurant at the end, not to mention it.

The daily net income is more than [-] yuan, sometimes nearly [-] yuan.

Adding all these together, Xie Linfeng's current daily income is about [-] yuan.

Indeed, Xiao Lin's discount of [-] yuan can only be regarded as small change to Xie Linfeng.

After all, 10 yuan is just more than a day's income from all projects in the villa combined for Xie Linfeng.

Of course, Xie Linfeng would not tell anyone about these things, so Lao Lin and the others didn't know.

Anyway, they all know that Xie Linfeng owns such a large villa and should not be short of money.

If Xie Linfeng didn't tell you the specific income, how could anyone else know?

Skip this topic and return to the lake.

After Lao Lin finished speaking, Lao Chen and Lao Huang on the side also greeted Xie Linfeng.

Xie Linfeng looked at a few people and asked with a smile:

"How is the fish mouth today? Is it open?"

When Old Huang heard this, he couldn't help but smile on his face and said:

“Today’s fish mouth is not bad, and we have already caught several kilograms of crucian carp.”

"However, there are indeed no big fish on this shore. The biggest carp I caught today was just a carp weighing more than four kilograms!" Old Chen on the side heard this and nodded:

"Yes, there are indeed no big fish on the shore. My catch is not as good as that of Lao Huang."

"It's just that I was lucky and caught a grass carp weighing more than seven pounds."

"But when it comes to luck, Lao Lin has the best luck. He caught a silver carp weighing more than ten kilograms!"

Xie Linfeng on the side heard this and couldn't help laughing:

"It's only what time, and you've already achieved such a harvest. It's already pretty good, okay!"

"For a fishing fee of 200 yuan, your current catch has already paid back nearly half of it."

"There's still so much time in the morning, plus the afternoon, I'm afraid I'm going to be in trouble again today!"

Hearing Xie Linfeng's words, everyone couldn't help but chuckle.

Indeed, it was because there were too many fish in the lake that Xie Linfeng was plated almost every day.

Lao Huang on the side said with some gloating:

"Thank you, brother, do you want to increase the fishing fee?"

"The fish in your lake are so dense that anyone with a little bit of skill can easily get ashore."

"If this continues, you will suffer a big loss, so you might as well raise the fishing fee!"

Hearing this, Xie Linfeng pretended to think about it for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"Forget it, the fishing fee will not be increased for the time being!"

"The most important thing now is to build up the reputation of the villa. It doesn't hurt to suffer a little loss!"

When everyone on the side heard this, they all nodded in understanding.

Indeed, the villa has just opened, and many local fishing friends are still unaware of its existence.

Although there seem to be hundreds of fishing friends every day.

However, these are all “tap water” that some fishing friends spontaneously called for.

Therefore, it is indeed not a good idea to increase fishing fees now.

It is better to wait until the public voice of the villa is out before we talk about increasing fishing fees!

What everyone doesn't know is that Xie Linfeng seems to be in trouble every day.

However, Xie Linfeng didn't really suffer any loss.

With the help of nutrient solution, it can increase the reproduction and growth rate of fish in the lake several times.

Therefore, even fishing friends can go ashore every day.

However, as long as no one catches hundreds of pounds every day, Xie Linfeng will not suffer a loss!

After all, although it seems that fishing in the mountain villa is very good.

But most fishing friends have just landed.

The value of the daily catch is usually not much more than the fishing fee.

Xie Linfeng calculated that the average value of each fishing friend's catch per day is only about three hundred.

In other words, on average, each fishing friend can only earn money for cigarettes and meals by fishing in the villa.

After all, if you come to the villa to fish for a day, you have to stay at the villa to have a meal.

Some fishing friends have both lunch and dinner at the mountain villa restaurant.

Calculating it this way, fishing friends really don’t make much money from fishing for one day.

It was through precise calculation that Xie Linfeng already knew this.

Therefore, Xie Linfeng has not changed the issue of fishing fees.

This is one of the reasons why Xie Linfeng is not prepared to increase fishing fees.

Another point is that some fishing friends will bring their families to the villa.

Then, the man went fishing, and the woman took her children to play in the villa.

After that, when the children see the supermarket, they have to buy some snacks or something.

During lunch, a family must spend at least dozens or hundreds.

This can be regarded as an unexpected increase in the popularity and consumer groups of the villa.

Therefore, it seems that Xie Linfeng’s fishing fee is a little low and he is suffering a loss.

However, in summary, did Xie Linfeng really lose money?

Only Xie Linfeng knew these things, not even Xu Hongdou and the others.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Xie Linfeng suffered a loss.

However, in fact, Xie Linfeng earned more because of this!
I chatted with Lao Lin and others for a while and watched them fishing.

When the time came to around 10:30, Xie Linfeng said goodbye to them and left.

After that, I made lunch and dinner repeatedly, and then the day passed.

Time passed slowly, and it only took two and a half days to install street lights and surveillance in the villa.

On the afternoon of the third day, all street lights and monitoring systems were installed and debugged.

For monitoring reasons, Xie Linfeng also set up a special monitoring room.

As for the choice of monitoring room, the original kitchen next to the supermarket was chosen.

Part of this area is used as a payment office for temporary rental housing.

A room of more than 30 square meters was also vacant, which happened to be used as a monitoring room.

As for the installation of surveillance, security and other things also need to keep up.

The security of the villa previously relied on some workers who originally worked in the villa.

With the selection and monitoring installed, formal security must naturally be prepared as well.

Therefore, Xie Linfeng had asked Xie Zhiyao to help tell the village committee about security a few days ago.

The village committee also helped find more than a dozen age-appropriate security guards from the village and surrounding villages.

They are all selected middle-aged people in their forties.

Most of them are honest and responsible people who have been approved by the village committee.

After all, everyone in the surrounding villages knows what their character is like.

The village committee will not find a sneaky person to get rid of the problem.

There are a total of eighteen security guards, two of whom are responsible for watching the gate and two of whom are responsible for watching the surveillance.

Of the remaining 14 people, four are preparing to shift shifts at the gate and monitoring room at night.

The last ten remaining people were responsible for security patrols during the day.

After the completion of infrastructure such as surveillance and street lights, the villa was officially on track.

After that, all you need to do is slowly rent out the B&B courtyard, and the villa will basically be complete.

After the matters at the villa were basically completed, Xie Linfeng and Xie Zhiyao began to focus on the village.

The racecourse and tie-dye workshop that have been renovated before will also start to be officially promoted.

Moreover, there are still some infrastructures in the village that need to be re-planned.

At the very least, the dirt road facing the sea from the village's dock needs to be rebuilt.

And these cannot all rely on Xie Linfeng and Xie Zhiyao, but also need to be funded by the village committee and the villagers.

Although, Xie Linfeng and Xie Zhiyao were quite willing to pay the money.

However, it is impossible for the village to agree to this, after all, it belongs to the entire village.

When the road is built, the villagers can set up stalls along the street, which will also provide some income.

Therefore, the village committee still needs to hold a meeting to discuss the issue of that road.

Xie Linfeng remembered that in the original drama, when the plot started, the road had already been repaired.

Specifically, it was Xie Zhiyao who paid for the repair, or the village committee organized the villagers to repair it together.

These things are not mentioned in the drama, so Xie Linfeng doesn’t know.

However, now the village committee is preparing to call on the village to jointly fund the repairs.

Of course, Xie Linfeng and Xie Zhiyao will take the lead, which is regarded as contributing to the village.
