Chapter 167 Raw Squeezed Coconut Water

With Surui's reputation, it can bring a large number of tourists to Lanai Island.

Since a few days ago, the average daily sales of sightseeing packages has reached about 1600. Many Hawaiian locals also organized groups to visit and vacation.

After Secretary Amanda learned of the situation, she said speechlessly:

"It's fine for tourists from other places to come to Lanai Island, but the locals actually join in the fun. Haven't you been tired of watching the beach and the sea since you were a child? What we have here is also available on other islands. If it were me, I would rather save some time to go there. Watch a movie, or use the money to buy a nice meal."

Suri is browsing the files.

A formal contract was just negotiated with Dongjing Mall this morning.

Due to the need to review the current situation of Dongjing Mall, last week his parents personally led the team to conduct a field trip to the mainland, which delayed some time.

Suri told:
"The current performance is difficult to sustain. When this wave of enthusiasm is over, the locals will not come here in groups."

Secretary Amanda nodded and said calmly:

"That's right, Lanai used to be very boring. It is estimated that 99% of the locals in Hawaii have never been here. Now you can not only enjoy the rural scenery, but also have four-wheel mountain bikes, outdoor karts and other projects, suitable for traveling with children. , dating between couples."

Su Rui didn't look up, and said while reading the document:
"These local businesses are unsustainable. The total population of Hawaii is only about 120 million. There are not as many tourists who come here every year, and the tourists are not generous."

"It's always good to make more money. I also think that locals will only buy a package ticket once, just like unless they date different men or meet crazy fans, otherwise basically no one will buy tickets. Go to Watching the same movie twice."

Secretary Amanda was right.

One of the biggest highlights during travel is to appreciate completely unfamiliar scenery, which can bring people a sense of novelty.

If you can score [-] points in the first game, by the time you come over for the second time, maybe only three or four points will be left, and the attractiveness to people will drop sharply.

According to the current situation in Lanai.

It's obviously a one-shot deal, and it's hard to attract repeat customers.

Fortunately, there are billions of people in the world, so it doesn't seem to be that important whether tourists will come back again.

As long as the reputation of Lanai Island is maintained, there is no need to catch the same sheep and kill it.

Suri continued:

"It is estimated that by the end of February next year, the sales of tourist packages will slowly return to normal. If during the off-season in April and May next year, we can still receive 3000 tourists per month, half of them will choose to stay at the Four Seasons Hotel. That’s what you call real success.”

Secretary Amanda blinked at him and reminded:
"Because there are too many tourists, the restaurant of the Four Seasons Hotel can't afford it. The giant pot of beef stewed rice has been made a whole pot recently, so the open-air market near Lanai Town opened for trial operation in advance yesterday. Let's go to the market today How about lunch?"

"What snacks are there in the market?"

"There are too many. I saw the photos on Facebook. There is a stall selling fried Florida stone crab claws, as well as pineapple fried rice and ice cream..."

Local labor costs are too high.

Hiring regular employees to create an open-air market will only be worth the candle.

Therefore, from the beginning, Su Rui only took out a piece of land, prepared infrastructure such as water, electricity, lighting, and sewage, separated the open-air stalls, and rented them out to vendors, and collected part of the rent as a management fee.

During the peak tourist season, the souks are open both day and night, and in the low season they are transformed into night markets. These rules and regulations have been established from the beginning.

Because there are 100 stalls arranged, it is difficult to use all of them, even daily rental is allowed, which can attract some wandering entertainers and part-time office workers on weekends, making the open-air market more interesting.

before going to the market.

Suri first drove a convertible to a processing factory near Lanai Town.

The original factory was used to process pineapples. It was renovated inside and out some time ago and bought a coconut juice filling production line.

During the time he was away, the workers had already begun to use their spare time to pick wild coconuts, and fill them into paper boxes with big orange heads printed on them according to the capacity of each bottle of 350 ml.

Given the coconut production of Lanai Island, it is difficult to sell it on a large scale, unless you spend money to buy it on other islands.

But if you choose to acquire from other places, new problems will follow.

Compared with the cost in Southeast Asia, Central America, Brazil, Sri Lanka and other places, the cost of picking in Hawaii is too high.

If you buy it locally, you might as well go directly to Mexico and find a factory to process raw coconut water on behalf of you. Even after shipping and tariffs are included, it may be more affordable than producing locally in Hawaii.

Therefore, the raw coconut water on the island is currently only sold to tourists.

this time.

Su Rui parked the convertible phantom outside the factory, and the two vegetable and fruit farm workers who were slacking off fishing immediately stamped out their cigarettes and waved to him.

There are more than 100 people under his hands, how can he remember everyone's names? Su Rui doesn't know them. When he came to the factory to look around, he found boxes of goods piled up in the corner, and asked curiously: "The sales volume of coconut water ,too much?"

A native Hawaiian with a slightly dark complexion and a strong figure was the first to answer:

"Not sure. I shipped 100 boxes to the hotel a few days ago, and sent 30 boxes to the market yesterday. We are only responsible for processing."

Another Aboriginal person went on to say:
"The locals know where to pick them up. Bring straws and tools. There are mature coconuts everywhere. You can drink it until you spit it out for free. Only stupid tourists will buy coconut water. It's five dollars for a small bottle. It's better to buy some beer. , I think boss, you may lose the money you invested this time."

Local people come to work without signing a bond, and with a salary of [-] to [-] US dollars a year, it is easy to find a job with similar salary in Hawaii.

Therefore, the lower the income, the less need to give Su Rui face, not everyone will rush to flatter him.

Realizing that he was underestimated, he was speechless for a moment.

According to the local people's views on coconuts, they are wastes that are too lazy to be picked up by the side of the road. Originally, there were coconuts everywhere in the coconut forest by the sea, and no one cared at all.

Su Rui wanted to say that he didn't care about losing money.

It’s just a production line, and you can earn it back just by taking a nap. The whole set of filling equipment is only tens of thousands of dollars. How much can you lose?

The fact is that, to others, it is easy to feel like showing off.

The circle of life is different, and the angle of view of things is also different, so Su Rui swallowed the words back, and only said:

"It's a pity to waste so many coconuts on the island. Some tourists live inland and are very interested in coconut water. I plan to customize some gift boxes for tourists to take back and give them as gifts. They are both practical and popular. "

Secretary Amanda said:

"I just wanted to say that my little nephew will definitely like sweet coconut water. Compared with cola and other drinks, it is also nutritious, similar to natural fruit juice..."
