I didn''t expect that I was far away in Dali, and there was still a temptation 3,000 kilometers away. A product manager''s salary is about twice as much as my previous salary, but I still can''t afford to buy a house in Shanghai. If you don''t have a house, it''s hard to have love, and once you fall into such a predicament, the humiliation of living without dignity is the most fatal and torturous thing.


    In the process of thinking about this, I lit a cigarette, and when I was about to finish it, I replied to Lao Huang''s message: "I don''t want to go back to Shanghai, Dali is fine." ”


    "The difference between the GDP of Shanghai and Dali is more than 50 times, what does GDP mean? That''s money, ney, Shanghai is the place where gold is everywhere. ”


    After standing on the land of Dali, I had a sense of half-truth and half-dream, so I was particularly disgusted by Lao Huang for picking up these bloody realities to show me. I didn''t reply to this message, because I knew that only a very small number of people would be able to enjoy living in Shanghai, a place full of gold, and most of them would eventually leave there.


    I went out and sat in the empty yard and looked around blankly, and I didn''t want to send a message to Yang Sisi. I was just thinking in my heart about how to open an inn here that could make a living.


    After 12 o''clock, Tie Nan returned to the inn, followed by a young man with a guitar on his back, probably the horse guide with smelly feet. Ma Gui was obviously not as talkative as Tetsuo, he quietly put the beer in his hand on the table, and stood in the corner and lit a cigarette.


    Iron Man threw a bag of pork head meat on the table after him, and said to me with a breath of wine, "Welcome to this decadent, sad, lonely and shameless world. Quickly forget about those hurts with commotion, let''s not drink high tonight, don''t count! ”


    I smiled, opened the lid of the beer bottle with a lighter, and handed it to Tetsuo and Ma Gui, who were standing nearby. While taking the beer, Director Ma took out a bag of peanuts from somewhere and threw it on the table.


    Halfway through the wine, Tie Nan asked me, "What do you want to do if you plan to stay in Dali for a long time?" ”


    "I want to open an inn here."


    Iron Man swallowed the wine violently, and then asked, "Dude, you''re not joking with me, are you?" ”


    "No kidding, I''m really here to open an inn."


    After I finished speaking, Ma Gui, who had not spoken much, finally spoke: "Open an inn, you are sick!" ”


    Tie Nan took the words of Ma Gui and said: "Buddy, I advise you to quickly dispel the idea of opening an inn, in order to protect Erhai Lake, since last month, thousands of inns in Dali have been forcibly closed, and the government says that environmental protection is not up to standard." Before, a buddy in Beijing rented a house on the shore of Erhai Lake and invested 10 million yuan, which was forced to close down before it was ready to open. Do you think this guy is wronged? I heard that he sold his house in Beijing to Dali, and borrowed a lot of money from relatives and friends. ”


    Dali has closed a lot of seaside inns for a while, the most famous should be Yang Liping who danced the peacock dance, they have a sense of design, you can go to the bookstall of the public number tank, reply to the seaside to see, there are many closed beauty inns, you can only look at the photo memories.


    I asked with doubts: "After so many inns are closed, where do tourists stay in Dali?" ”


    "Isn''t there still a part of this that hasn''t been closed? I''ve heard that the government encourages large hotels to settle in Dali, and the attitude towards inns is very vague. So opening an inn at this time is tantamount to looking for death. You''re lucky, after all, the money hasn''t been smashed into it, otherwise it would have made you lose all your money. ”


    I subconsciously looked back at the youth hostel of Iron Man, there were more than ten rooms, but the lights were blind, and it looked desolate.


    In this regard, I can''t comment, I just feel that the place swept by the policy is simply not a single grass, and this scene is very different from what I imagined before I came, I subconsciously feel that the night on the shore of Erhai Lake should be bustling lights, shining brightlyIf you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    After a moment of silence, I raised my glass to them and thanked them for the reminder, but I was still a little disappointed in my heart, feeling that I had failed Wang Lei. After I came to Dali, I was able to live as she imagined, to transform myself, and to create an inn business.


    Probably sensing my disappointment, Tie Nan put his arm on my shoulder again and said, "Brother, Dali is a place that doesn''t give people much pressure, you take it easy, even if you don''t work for a year and a half, no one will look down on you like us." Everyone looks like this, and no one is more noble than anyone else. ”


    I nodded, and Director Ma opened his mouth at this time: "The one who can make money in Dali belongs to the grandsons of those gangs who can pretend to be coerced!" ”


    I was surprised, Ma Gui''s words were a bit abrupt, I just inquired about opening the inn, but he talked about the group of grandsons. I had the feeling that he must have had a holiday with someone from the gang of grandchildren, because he felt almost uncontrollable in his anger when he said that.


    Iron Man didn''t answer, and I wouldn''t ask more, I''m not a person who likes to expose other people''s scars. Everyone seemed to be in no mood and drank sullen wine, and on the first night in Dali, I drank high.


    The morning in Dali came later than Shanghai, and I woke up at six o''clock, and the genius was bright, obviously it was already midsummer, but it was very cool.


    After washing, I left the inn amid the snoring of Ma Gui and Tie Nan, and a few hundred meters away from the inn was Erhai Lake. I sat down on a rock, the light was dim, only the sound of the tide was matching my mind, making up what Erhai Lake should look like. The slight smell wafting from afar also indicates that this is indeed a lake that needs to be treated.


    In a world without recovery, there is a faint sense of graceful helplessness. I don''t seem to have come at the right time, I can''t choose to smash the 190,000 left by Wang Lei into the inn industry that seems to be very turbulent in Dali at this time. I am a person who desperately needs to be happy, but sitting on the shore of Erhai Lake and lamenting self-pity, I can''t always be so idle.


    Gradually, the dawn came. I was in the same mood and in the same posture until I could see the color and variety of plants and trees in the distance. Thinking and thinking, a white cruise ship with passengers sailed in front of me, making a circle of waves. Then I saw the mountain on the opposite side reflected in the sea, which looked very beautiful. I unconsciously entered a state of emptiness, no longer caring how much life had been squandered on this morning.


    "Uncle, have you found a place to live?"


    It turned out to be a WeChat sent by Yang Sisi, which is really a bit of a self-throwing net.


    I immediately messaged her back: "I''m sure I found it, did you find it?" ”


    "Guess."


    "I''m not a roundworm in your stomach, how can I guess."


    Yang Sisi sent a bunch of smiling faces, and then changed the topic and said, "Uncle, let''s play a game, if I can find you before I eat lunch, can you promise me one thing?" I promise you can do it. ”


    "No kidding, do you know how big Dali is?"


    "Of course I know, so you won''t lose in this matter, because I basically don''t have much chance of winning."


    "Okay, what if you can''t find me before lunch?"


    "I''ll treat you to dinner."


    "Then you can find it."


    "Okay, from now on you can only stay where you are and not move, if you deliberately make it difficult for me, you are a dog."


    "And what if I want to pee?"


    "Hold on."


    I smiled at the conversation, lit another cigarette, and waited for the little sheep to throw itself into the net. I wondered where she got her faith so sure it would find me.


    I didn''t let myself be idle, and I kept looking for a suitable place to be an inn on my phone. As the minutes ticked by, I moved under a tree to avoid the intense ultraviolet rays and continued my search.


    I think that although the inn has closed a lot of environmental protection standards, there is no policy that says one size fits all, and it is not allowed. Thinking about it on the other hand, the future of the inn industry is worrying, and I have the opportunity to take over an inn to be transferred at a low price in this special period of panic.


    In the past few years, I have saved more than 100,000 yuan by myself, plus 190,000 yuan given by Wang Lei, barely enough to make up 300,000 yuan, and through the preliminary understanding on the Internet, I can probably take over a small inn.


    After sorting out some of the collected listing information into a mobile phone memo, it was already noon. Unlike in the morning, the number of tourists on the shore of Erhai Lake has increased significantly, some riding large turtle motorcycles, some driving open-top jeeps, and more of the kind of rented four-wheeled electric vehicles. These colorful vehicles, like beads strung together, revolve around Erhai Lake, as if they are wearing a flowing colorful necklace for Erhai Lake.


    Not far away, by the pier, a group of wandering singers came again, setting up tents next to the white buildings, selling beer and singing to the tourists. Tie Nan said that when it is cold, the seagulls will fly back from the north, and the Erhai Lake at that time is really beautiful. But by this time, I already felt beautiful! I even wanted to go to the wandering singers and buy some beer and sit closer and listen to them sing.


    I almost forgot about the bet I made with Yang Sisi, until I saw her Lu Xun slowly approaching from a distance. What a hell of a life! Not to mention the ancient city, even if you walk around Erhai Lake, there are more than 100 kilometers of road, I really don''t know how she found it.
