Bab 334: Chapter 334: Back to the Jellyfish Lake
"Hello, Researcher Yan!" Chen Jianhai proactively extended his hands for a handshake.
Yan Xingyun also extended his hand, smiling, and said, "My surname can be a bit tricky. Just call me Yan Jiuyuan."
Yan Jiuyuan?
Chen Jianhai was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yan Jiuyuan, please board the ship."
The luxurious "Ocean Star" cruise ship sailed through the waves, carrying the three of them towards Xiao Majia Island.
Gao Qiao was on a passenger ship for the first time. Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually very excited, walking back and forth on the cruise ship.
Yan Jiuyuan, on the other hand, was used to taking boats. Once on board, he paid little attention to the scenery and instead discussed many things about the jellyfish lake with Chen Jianhai.
After disembarking,
Chen Jianhai led the other two up the northern mountains of Xiao Majia Island, following the route he remembered, and after climbing a three-meter-high slope,
the three of them finally reached the location of the Golden Jellyfish Lake.
It was midday at that time.
On the emerald green lake, clusters of golden jellyfish floated like stars scattered across the water.
Countless small jellyfish stretched their tentacles, their round, umbrella-like bodies contracting and expanding as they bobbed up and down in the water.
"Golden jellyfish?!"
Yan Jiuyuan's eyes lit up as he walked towards the lake and, after observing for a while, dipped his hand into the water.
"Yan Jiuyuan, aren't you afraid the jellyfish might be poisonous?"
Chen Jianhai asked in surprise.
Jellyfish are highly toxic, and this lake was full of them.
If stung, it could be fatal or severely debilitating.
In such a remote area, there wouldn't even be an emergency vehicle to call.
Yan Jiuyuan confidently replied, "It's fine."
"There are two types of jellyfish in this lake: golden jellyfish and moonlight jellyfish, both of which are rare and non-toxic. They can be touched."
"Can be touched?"
Chen Jianhai asked in confusion, "Isn't it said that the prettier the jellyfish, the more poisonous they are?"
Yan Jiuyuan explained, "These jellyfish live in a terrestrial lake with no natural predators. Over time, their toxins have degraded, making them non-toxic."
"You can also put your hand in to see."
Chen Jianhai, intrigued, followed Yan Jiuyuan's example and put his hand into the lake.
Yan Jiuyuan quickly added, "Though they can be touched, be gentle and don't touch them for too long, and don't take them out of the water."
Chen Jianhai nodded.
The lake water was cool, and the jellyfish felt like jelly, soft and smooth, with a satisfying texture.
Yan Jiuyuan also squatted by the lake, seriously feeling the jellyfish.
"What are you two doing there?"
Seeing Chen Jianhai and Yan Jiuyuan squatting by the lake without moving,
Gao Qiao curiously approached and, imitating them, put his hand into the jellyfish lake.
The next moment,
the cool air brought a sense of freedom, and the forest breeze carried an atmosphere of happiness and secrecy.
The three of them touched this and that,
sometimes squeezing with one hand, sometimes gently holding the smooth and soft jelly with both hands.
They were having a great time.
However, no matter how enjoyable, the numbness in their thighs was inevitable.
Chen Jianhai's back ached from squatting. He stood up, shaking the water off his hands, and finally brought up the main topic:
"Yan Jiuyuan, if these jellyfish are non-toxic, can this place be developed?"
Yan Jiuyuan paused, "Develop? What kind of development are you talking about?"
Chen Jianhai explained, "This lake is an ecological jellyfish lake on Xiao Majia Island. If we can develop it for tourism and make it a scenic spot, it could generate significant economic value."
Yan Jiuyuan thought for a moment, "Whether it can be developed is beyond my expertise."
"But I can take some samples of the jellyfish and fish from the lake back for further research and testing to confirm that they are truly non-toxic and harmless to humans."
Chen Jianhai was delighted, "That would be great!"
Even though he had played with the jellyfish for most of the day without any adverse effects,
these were still jellyfish, and if anything went wrong, no one could take responsibility.
Two days later, Yan Jiuyuan sent news.
The Golden Jellyfish Lake on Xiao Majia Island was confirmed to be a safe and reliable non-toxic jellyfish lake, open to the public.
With this exciting news,
Chen Jianhai immediately called Yang Ruying.
...
At the Nanjing City Cultural Tourism Promotion Center
Yang Ruying was sitting in front of her computer, meticulously checking for typos in the documents.
Since the launch of the "Charming Nanjing Plan, Developing Island Tourism" project, her workload had skyrocketed.
Every day, there were endless materials to write and surveys to conduct.
She was currently working on a data survey report for the Nanjing Beer Festival five-star hotel tents.
The report comprehensively analyzed the excellent data of the five-star tents from aspects such as "association support, hotel culture, hotel leadership, hotel soft power, hotel self-promotion, and hotel staff quality."
Just as she was about to submit the report to the director, the phone rang.
"Boss Chen? What could he want?"
Yang Ruying answered the phone and was shocked after a few words.
"Really? I'll report this to the city immediately and keep you informed of any updates!"
Hanging up,
Yang Ruying opened Weixin, and after seeing the pictures of the Golden Jellyfish Lake, she grabbed her phone and ran to the director's office.
...
With Chen Jianhai's call,
Nanjing City quickly started intense discussions and exchanges about whether the Golden Jellyfish Lake on Xiao Majia Island could be developed into a tourist attraction.
Xiao Majia Island has beautiful scenery and the advantage of being an island, fitting perfectly with the "Charming Nanjing" tourism development project.
Moreover, the jellyfish lake's unique scenery and rare jellyfish interaction experience have the potential to attract a large number of tourists.
But unfortunately,
"It's hard to find suitable investors!" sighed Gu Minzhong, the director of the Nanjing City Cultural Tourism Promotion Center.
Investing in scenic spots has a long return period and many uncontrollable factors.
Plus, being on an island with underdeveloped transportation, the investment cost alone, especially in transportation, would be substantial.
Yang Ruying glanced at Gu Minzhong.
As an excellent subordinate, sometimes she could indeed align her thoughts with her leader's.
Finding suitable investors was a surface issue.
The fundamental problem was that the islanders were hard to communicate with.
Before Chen Jianhai, many had tried to develop hotels on the island and failed.
The islanders cherished their island as a mother cherishes her child.
Without their support and consent, let alone developing a tourist attraction, even getting ships and materials near the harbor would be impossible!
After thinking for a moment, Yang Ruying tentatively suggested, "This attraction was recommended to me by Chen Jianhai of Lang'ai Hotel."
"Director, why don't we ask Chen Jianhai if he's interested in investing in this project?"
