C5 The Ship of Wealth and the Blond Youth

"What the hell is going on with these people? They don't look like they can afford a cruise ticket."

A questioning voice came from behind Yao Huhu.

Yao Huhu, who was observing the group of passengers, didn't think too much about it.

Perhaps this was also a professional habit of the Union Research Investigator, so Yao Huhu subconsciously answered the voice behind her.

"They must be the beneficiaries of the special welfare system."

At the beginning of the development of the Pohnpei Independent District for sightseeing.

At that time, there weren't many cruise ships, so there was no need to worry about any empty seats on the "Gold Child."

There were many tourists who wanted to travel but could not buy a ticket.

Furthermore, the owner of the "Gold Child" cruise ship did not seem to be worried about bankruptcy at all.

The price of the tickets had been maintained at a level that an ordinary person could afford, or even cheaper.

It only required a month's bus fare to board this famous cruise.

The "Gold Child" had always been a popular cruise ship to sightsee at sea, and the outside world's evaluation of the "Gold Child" was quite high.

As a result, most passenger returned and came after hearing about it.

However, as more and more sightseeing cruises appeared, as well as the other sightseeing cruises, they all learned to lower the price of their tickets.

The customers who were unable to meet the demand were distributed to other cruises, so the "Gold Child" came up with a welfare plan.

That was that when the cruise ship appeared to be too empty, it would receive the free passengers.

The so-called free passengers were mostly homeless, poor, and even drug addicts at the bottom of society.

This was the most basic information that could be found as long as one searched on the internet.

On the surface, the cruise ship "Gold Child" seemed to only want to spend money to earn money to shout and advertise to attract tourists.

However, in the eyes of those who were good at calculation, this was probably an act of putting the cart before the horse.

One of the simplest logical problems was that they couldn't make ends meet.

The price of the tickets and the service seemed to be how the "Gold Child" that was doing charity sightseeing was maintained until now.

There was even money to buy the cruise ships of his peers and continue to seek death by lowering the price of the tickets.

After a brief calculation, he could feel the abnormality of the "Gold Child."

The simplest example would be the banquet in front of him.

A large luxury cruise ship naturally needed sufficient food storage, or even an excess.

It was to avoid the embarrassment of running out of food and drinking water before the sightseeing trip ended.

It is worth mentioning that the so-called "sufficient" protection here is actually an excessive reserve of food resources.

This food was enough for thousands of passengers to eat to their hearts' content. If there was too much left, it would naturally be a waste.

At the same time, it would also be a waste if the empty cabins were not used.

Therefore, the "Gold Child" cruise ship implemented a welfare policy of free rides for the people from the bottom.

This was to prevent wastage of food resources.

It was like raising a group of free "dogs" to clean up excess food.

At the same time, he could also publicize the cruise ship "Gold Child" through his own experience, achieving the effect of a personal advertisement.

Unfortunately, even so, even though there were low profits and high sales, as well as personal advertising for the cruise ship "Gold Child," the ship was still at a loss.

The decorations were luxurious, and the large cruise itself was a money-burning mode of transportation.

However, the Golden Child seemed to be trying to force his opponent away at a cheap price at the beginning.

However, now that most of his opponents had closed down, he did not raise the price of the tickets.

Yao Huhu had calculated.

"The cost of tickets for all the passengers of the Golden Child, as well as all the other expenses of the cruise, was that they didn't even have enough to pay for the basic fuel.

"The Golden Child was burning money every time it left the port.

If he wanted to earn back his capital, he had to raise the price of the ticket. If he wanted to make a profit, he had to increase the price by at least three zeros.

Not to mention the maintenance of the ship and the cost of food.

However, the "Gold Child" was still functioning until now.

Not to mention showing signs of financial exhaustion, it had even bought other bankrupt cruise ships and expanded its scale.

This was illogical. Cruises were a type of business after all, and they had to be operated to make profits.

Only then could they continue to maintain this business.

If the cruise ship couldn't make enough money.

Then, the business would be disconnected like a bicycle chain, and the entire business of the cruise ship would naturally stop.

The "Gold Child" was an exception. Even if he lost money, he would still be able to continue until now. Speaking of which, the fact that he directly bought a half-finished warship and transformed it into the "Gold Child" was enough for him to be a nouveau riche.

"What kind of person was the mastermind behind the Golden Child?

Speaking of which, Yao Huhu really could not think of any consortium in the world that had the ability to provide more than a dozen cruise ships that cost more than a million yuan a day.

The only possibility was the financial group of the Pohnpei Independent District.

Everything unreasonable in the 22nd century would be blamed on the "Pohnpei Independent District."

However, when would a businessman who only cared about profit think of doing charity?

This basic information was something that Yao Huhu had already known before she became the Golden Child, something that people cared about.

The reason why Yao Huhu was allowed to board the Golden Child wasn't just because of Jack's diary.

It was also because of Yao Huhu's interest in the Golden Child cruise.

It was just that Jack's diary made Yao Huhu even more curious about the "Gold Child" leading the "Golden" series cruise ships.

Because Jack had gone missing on this ship.

He had survived the long sea, and only after returning to the city did he become a hundred people who dismembered and killed people.

"Speaking of which, the owner of the Golden Child is still a mystery, but he must be quite rich. There must be a lot of valuable treasures on this ship."

The unfamiliar voice she heard before was even closer this time, so close that it was almost touching Yao Huhu's ear.

Her sensitive earlobe could even sense the faint citrus fragrance of his breath.

Only then did Yao Huhu, who was in deep thought, notice an unfamiliar young man wearing a sweatshirt and jeans standing behind her.

She subconsciously distanced herself from the other party and leaned towards the direction of the old man in the Tang suit.

"You should be as curious as I am. What treasure is on this ship, right? The most anticipated researcher of Allied Alliance, Ms. Yao. "

Her voice was neither male nor female.

The handsome young man with a frivolous face did not care about Yao Huhu's natural dodging posture.

Once he finished speaking, the handsome blond young man handed the back of his hand to Yao Huhu.

It was the same gesture as if he was asking Yao Huhu to kiss the back of his hand.
