Chapter 302 Going to the Zoo to Find a Partner
The upgraded car had a larger interior, finally freeing the three of them from the last row, which undoubtedly made their trip to the western part of the South China Sea much more comfortable. Unsurprisingly, such cars were usually manual transmissions, so Yu Yu and Wang Zhengliang still had to be drivers.
But driver Lao Wang is willing to drive such a car because the seats are even more comfortable than those in his own car.
In addition, the director team also brought another good news, that is, Larich not only upgraded their land transportation, but also generously provided them with sea transportation for them to choose from.
This external investor clearly has the strongest financial strength among all the sponsors, but he never asks for a high implantation ratio, and the sponsorship fee he gave in the early stage is just at the bottom. However, when the program encountered difficulties and needed help during the filming, he was overly generous and did not ask for anything in return.
Looking at the photos and information of several luxury yachts that the other party sent to them with a wave of his hand for them to choose freely, Dalin racked his brains and couldn't understand how he had such luck that he could meet such a big sponsor.
Zhao Hao also raised an idea with a confused look on his face. If they had approached Larich earlier, for example, when they were in Northeast China, would they also provide "free" sponsorship?
No wonder Yu Yu said they were stupid and rich. He must have come from a wealthy foreign family. He had long known that Larich was a charitable enterprise...
That's just outrageous! How could a company that consistently maintains a top-10 ranking and boasts aristocratic background enjoy throwing money around without asking for anything in return? This isn't some dumbed-down novel! (Author: What logic are you two trying to find in this mindless, cool story?)
When the brothers heard that Larich had even brought them a yacht, they simply ignored the additional condition secretly added by the director's team - they had to pay for the yacht's gas themselves - they finally couldn't help it and all looked at Yu Yu.
A car worth one or two million is nothing compared to a luxury yacht. Who could resist? Even though they were all celebrities and had finally made a lot of money last year due to their popularity, and finally had the confidence to think about a nicer car, they didn't even dare to think about buying a yacht.
They couldn't help themselves, but Su Xing was smart enough to know that he couldn't arouse other people's suspicions, so he made a joke: "Young Master Yu, why don't you just drive your own yacht over here? If we use the production team's, we'll have to pay for the gas ourselves, but if we use your own, we can skip that step."
In fact, Yu Yu could hear that there was something else behind his words. This person was clearly teasing that the yacht provided by Larich to the program crew was his own yacht.
After Su Xing said this, everyone else understood and immediately cooperated in making jokes about Yu Yu's identity as a rich second-generation. Dalin and Zhao Hao did not find anything unusual. After all, they often teased Yu Yu or Su Xing about having mines at home, so they easily covered up the matter.
After Dalin and Zhao Hao left, the other six people returned to their rooms to pack their bags and prepare to return to Chengmai. They all took out their phones and sent messages to the group chat, @Yu Yu: "Boss is so generous! @Majiayu"
Only Zhang Yuan, seeing the group nickname, couldn't help but grumble again: "You've lost all those layers of vests, so why are you still called Vest Fish? You should change your name to Falling Horse Fish."
"Okay, take another look?" Yu Yu has a good quality which is to listen to advice.
"@fishscale? What the hell are you?!"
"Aren't fish scales made up of layers?"
"Fried fish scales are actually quite delicious... Hey, no, let's get down to business. Larich is replacing the car and providing the yacht. Fish, didn't you ask them about this, or did they do this to make your recording experience more comfortable?"
Lu Hu urgently withdrew a snack. He was still a little worried. Before Yu Yu took the initiative to confess his identity and background, he was worried that Larich's excessive care for them would bring unnecessary trouble to Yu Yu.
"Isn't this a bit too obvious? How about asking them to tone it down a bit?"
Yu Yu sent a head-patting emoji: "It's okay. I just mentioned to the director team that if things really don't work out, we can ask Larich for help. But they agreed so readily, which means they're just being presumptuous. They're not big philanthropists who throw money around. Even for me, they wouldn't easily give me a backdoor, so don't worry, just wait and see. They must have other intentions."
“…If you say that, I’m even more worried!”
The advantage of being in the same suite is that Wang Yuexin can run directly to Yu Yu's room and pinch his shoulders and shake them in person.
Unlike the younger group who were impatient and irritable, the older brothers remained calm. Chen Fusheng directly told them that if they had any problems or difficulties, they could talk to them, although they might not be able to help.
"Since it doesn't matter what Larich wants to do, let's think about how to solve the most urgent problem at the moment," said Su Xing.
"Right now? The most urgent question?" Xiao Liang was puzzled. Then an idea suddenly occurred to him, "Where can Xiao Yuan find a partner?"
"?" Zhang Yuan was stunned.jpg, "Listen to me, is this even human language?"
"Looking for a partner? Go to the zoo." Yu Yu gestured funny.
"???" Zhang Yuan was speechless.jpg, "If you don't have a partner yourself, why don't you go to the zoo and find one!"
"To be honest, the zoo is indeed a good place to bring friends of the opposite sex, covering mouth and laughing.jpg." Chen Fusheng gave some advice as a veteran.
"Don't tell me, don't tell me, Brother Sheng. When I took Xuxu to the zoo, the red panda ran right up to her legs and stood up to ask for fruit. Woohoo, she was so adorable in that scene! Tears streaming down her face.jpg."
Yu Yu looked at the message sent by Lu Hu and reasonably suspected that the cute thing he was talking about was Sister Xu and not Xiao Neng who was picking on Sister Xu.
"???" Zhang Yuan exploded. "Are you guys done yet?! I'm going to report you all to the central government!!"
Su Xing said pertinently, "Actually, compared to Zhang Yuan, going to the zoo to find a partner isn't that urgent."
“? How can it not be urgent? Actually, it is a bit urgent… No, I’m not going to the zoo to find an elephant!?”
Zhang Yuan roared helplessly, but was collectively ignored by his unscrupulous brothers. Wang Yuexin simply ignored it and asked Su Xing cooperatively, "What on earth is this that is more important than Brother Yuan's lifelong event?"
"How do we earn enough fuel to go out to sea? At least enough to last until we can't see the coastline. How important is that? How many times in our lifetime can we get to watch the sunset from a luxury private yacht? P.S. There are not enough fish here, so please don't answer."
Su Xing said seriously that yachts are notoriously easy to buy but difficult to maintain. If you start it for a while, what burns is not gasoline but red RMB.
Zhang Yuan no longer wanted to talk. This was what bird watching in a group was like sometimes.
In fact, they still have a surplus of 1094 yuan. According to their usual spending speed and the money they have earned from competing with the program crew, this money is barely enough. But if they want to hold on until the coastline is out of sight, they have to set aside at least 3000 yuan, and it would be best to prepare 4000 yuan.
Of course, this expense is not a big problem under normal circumstances. If seven people each take on a commercial performance, they can at least have a party on the yacht for a whole night. But they are recording a program, so they can't pay for it out of their own pockets.
Su Xing thought of a way. It happened to be the peak tourist season in Nanhai Island. Although there were fewer people on the west line and prices were slightly lower than on the east line, prices were still a little higher than usual. Prices in the northern part of Nanhai Island were generally lower than those in the south near Sanya. For example, a coconut might only cost three or four yuan in Chengmai, but it could double in Sanya.
He then took out the map of the western route planned by Yu Yu and circled Fushan Town in Chengmai and the Yinggehai Salt Field in Ledong County. Fushan coffee, of course, was the most famous coffee in Nanhai, especially its red soil, aged coffee beans. The Yinggehai Salt Field was also the largest sea salt factory on Nanhai Island.
Su Xing suggested that they could find a coconut supplier in Chengmai to purchase some coconuts wholesale, and then go to Fushan Town to see if there are any cooperation opportunities, so that they can get some coffee beans at a relatively low price - after all, they are filming a variety show, and the show has some viewers. There are no coffee brands among their sponsors, so there is no conflict. It is estimated that there will be local coffee shops or manufacturers willing to give it a try.
Finally, they would go to the sea salt field to buy some sea salt, and then they would move the things directly to the yacht port. Zhao Hao had just mentioned that the yacht port was Nanshan Port, which is also a beautiful beach for watching the sunset. It is located in Yazhou District, Sanya, and is backed by Nanshan Ridge. It should be visited by many tourists.
They can sell sea salt coconut lattes in the surrounding area, or they can sell coconuts directly. In short, they should be able to make back the money they spent on gas.
Selling coconuts is easy. As long as you have the tools and learn from the wholesale coconut sellers, they can help buyers open the coconuts with a little effort, but...
"The sea salt and raw coconut latte sounds very technically demanding. Who makes this thing?" Land Rover wondered.
"Of course it's Yu Shao," Su Xing patted Yu Yu's shoulder. "Yu Xin is the best cook in our village, and Yu Shao is the best barista here. The coffee machine equipment at home is more comprehensive than those in other coffee shops."
Yu Yu, who was suddenly entrusted with an important task, said: "? Is it possible that I'm just a poor student with too much stationery? I've only used that complete set of equipment to make Americano and cold brew."
"Then congratulations, you have developed the third flavor now." Su Xing smiled maliciously.
"Brother Sheng also likes to study coffee on his own. I strongly suggest that he do it too." Yu Yu decided to find another person to take the blame.
Chen Fusheng had no objection, as he was interested in coffee himself: "Okay, we'll be in charge of the coffee then."
Wang Zhengliang was very pleased to see that the two had reached a cooperation agreement. He nodded with great satisfaction and said, "That's great. Brother Sheng and Xiaoyu will make a sea salt coconut latte together. Drinking it will improve your health."
"..." Su Xing's face, which was originally immersed in the fantasy of making a lot of money and getting rich, suddenly turned into stone and he felt like he would never smile again.
"Enough, I say enough, Brother Liang!" Zhang Yuan closed his eyes and hoped that it was just an illusion.
Wang Yuexin was fidgeting in his chair because Wang Zhengliang was sitting next to him. Lu Hu took several breaths and felt Wang Zhengliang's voice coming from behind him like a devilish sound piercing his ears.
Only Yu Yu and Chen Fusheng, who were sitting in the front row, remained indifferent. This level of bad jokes could no longer harm them. Yu Yu even continued his words, "Hey, Brother Liang, this actually makes sense. Sea salt is salty, and salted fish is also salty. Maybe my salted fish is made of sea salt too."
"Just stop talking and drive!"
Zhang Yuan behind him slapped Yu Yu's chair fiercely. If it was Wang Zhengliang sitting in front of him, he might have slapped him twice.
