Chapter 856: 851 Yanghu Hairy Crabs

What mattered more was that the cost of investing in a hotel wasn’t that high.

But the profits that could be earned were still substantial.

It was like those small hostels.

They divided the rooms, one after another.

When guests checked in,

They hardly had to spend any cost at all.

It was just some utilities fees.

And could these utilities fees ever amount to a three-digit figure?

So, for those hostels, every guest that checked in was basically pure profit waiting to be made.

Especially those small ones, there wasn’t any service to speak of.

Eating before meals was like having a buffet, just pay and you could check in.

This was also the part he was truly satisfied with.

Had he operated these small inns, he could have earned a seven-figure income within a year.

Especially since he himself was not short of funds, he could use money to significantly undercut his competition.

By that time, he could earn as much money as he wanted.

Although he had a complete plan in mind and knew how to make money,

However, he only thought about these things, finding them quite fascinating.

But if he were to truly implement them, he actually wasn’t that interested.

To put it simply, it was troublesome in two words.

He could easily earn a seven-figure amount doing other things with much less effort.

And to earn a seven-figure sum through these inns, he didn’t know how many he would have to open or how many people he would have to hire.

More importantly, there was another factor: the more enterprises he had, the more likely it was that accidents would occur.

These accidents weren’t limited to any one thing, but anything could happen.

It was possible that employees at some inns might infringe on the privacy of the guests.

Then as the owner, he would have to bear a certain degree of responsibility.

And the more such employees there were, the higher the probability of risks occurring.

Even with his current capabilities, these minor issues could definitely not stop him.

But always being plagued by these minor issues was also very disgusting.

So Gu Chen would rather pay a smaller price to make money,

Than make what he considered hard-earned money.

Director Yin, standing nearby, didn’t actually understand what Gu Chen was thinking.

But based on his own understanding,

He just knew that the hotel industry was really tough.

Many aspects were incredibly complicated, and non-professionals who got involved were basically bound to lose money.

However, at this time, he didn’t express any opinions to Gu Chen.

He knew that Gu Chen might have considered even more than him and that Gu Chen had also faced many big challenges.

Gu Chen definitely had different thoughts about hotels.

So at that moment, he felt there was no need to say anything more.

Because what he might say could just be superfluous,

And likely to annoy others.

This was what he had learned through many years in society,

That it was better not to say the things that shouldn’t be said.

Speaking out could only create obstacles for his future path.

At that time, he sat quietly nearby, gently eating his meal.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen continued to survey the entire hotel environment.

The more he looked, the more he felt that the hotel was really nice, whether it was a corner or an environment, he was quite satisfied with it all.

Just at that moment, he suddenly remembered something, and turned his gaze towards Director Yin.

"Have you ever considered doing something different with aquaculture after being in it for so long?"

Upon being asked this suddenly by Gu Chen, Director Yin was taken aback.

He didn’t understand the meaning behind Gu Chen’s sudden question.

"I’ve heard that the hairy crab business is doing well, like the Yang Lake hairy crabs."

Gu Chen didn’t understand much about aquaculture.

Yet, he clearly knew that the Yang Lake hairy crabs were very famous.

Basically, every season,

these crabs could be sold for thousands of dollars each.

Of course, he was talking about prices ten years later.

By then, who knew how many people would fight over a single crab.

Some even utilized their connections to gain an advantage for this crab.

Although Gu Chen did not know why these crabs were so famous,

he was very clear about one thing.

The tag attached to the crab’s leg could be sold for thousands of dollars in the black market outside.

Because a hairy crab with this tag meant that it certainly came from Yang Lake and was authentic.

Many businessmen recognized the label rather than the crab itself.

Even if they were to inspect the crabs themselves, they couldn’t understand anything.

But they could understand the tag on the crab’s leg.

So often, they identified whether a crab was from Yang Lake by the label on its leg.

As long as it was from Yang Lake, that was enough for them.

Having such crabs on their dining tables was a matter of prestige for these tycoons.

Whether the crabs were tasty or not, they didn’t care at all.

What they wanted was prestige, just like they would purchase some very expensive wines.

Whether the wine tasted good or not, they couldn’t actually tell the difference.

In this respect, Gu Chen saw very clearly.

However, he didn’t see anything wrong with this situation.

Moreover, even if such a culture was not ideal, it had nothing to do with him.

He was in business, not responsible for managing societal issues.

At this time, he brought up the matter to Director Yin, hoping that Director Yin would exert some effort in this field.

Maybe there were no visible results now, but later on, it would definitely become his cash cow.

Director Yin nodded after hearing this.

"I do know a bit about these Yang Lake hairy crabs.

The quality of their crabs is indeed good.

But not many people in the market are buying their crabs nowadays.

Moreover, it’s a distant area, and my business can’t reach there."

Having been in the industry for so many years, he of course understood.

He had also heard about Yang Lake’s hairy crabs.

But he felt that it didn’t have much to do with him, as his current industry, although similar, was worlds apart.

"If you’re interested, you might want to pay more attention and invest if the opportunity arises."

Gu Chen didn’t explain the reasons in depth, but simply told him this directly.

After hearing this, he nodded, seemingly understanding Gu Chen’s intention.

He knew Gu Chen wouldn’t harm him in this matter.

Since it was mentioned like this, there must be a business insight involved.

"Thank you, President Gu. I’ll ask my friends to pay more attention when I get back."

He took this matter to heart right away.

After all, contacting the right people later would suffice.
