Chapter 371 Horrifying, extremely terrifying!
Wu Teng was truly shocked. Who could understand his state of mind right now?
The person in charge of the economy did nothing, but his subordinates collaborated with an online influencer to quietly promote the ancient city.
What initially attracted his attention to this matter was the 1 million yuan publicity fee and the internet celebrity.
Because the internet economy has indeed become a topic of discussion among colleagues in various regions, many places with the resources have begun to invite Taobao and JD.com to conduct on-site inspections in an attempt to establish cooperation.
Even some smaller cities have started to explore collaborations with online influencers, which is one possible reason given the current popularity of video e-commerce.
Then he discovered that the influencer promoting the ancient city was the most successful influencer in video e-commerce.
That's when he started paying attention to this internet celebrity.
The other party is the top male singer in Douyin, and he's from Linhai City. He's much more powerful than those other internet celebrities.
Moreover, the Radiant Plaza was created by this internet celebrity and has become a well-known photo spot in Linhai City.
What happened next was truly astonishing. Jinglan City's promotional videos and events eventually reached an alarming level of popularity, even sparking online discussions about Jinglan City.
This is absolutely a terrifying success.
When Fu Qian and the others reported that they might attract 15 people the next day, he decided to meet this internet celebrity.
An ancient city scenic area that was not originally in his plans has surprisingly been able to boost GDP, and for a long time at that.
To his surprise, the other party said that there were far more than 15 people, and the key fact was indeed so.
The 15 tickets sold out in an instant.
The phrase "15 tickets sold" deeply affected everyone.
"Sold out already?" Wei Weiwei thought she understood the internet and expected it to sell over 25 tickets, but she never imagined that 15 tickets would sell out so quickly.
At this rate, the final number of tickets sold will likely exceed 25.
"Hurry up, keep sending tickets." Wu Teng immediately gave the order.
But the person in charge ran over with a grim expression: "Mr. Wu, we can't issue tickets for the time being. The ticketing system crashed due to the impact just now. This is just a scenic area ticketing system."
These words made Fu Qian rub his forehead: "Didn't you prepare in advance?"
The person in charge said awkwardly, "We also looked at the data from Wenlv and prepared for 15 visitors. We can't possibly have a dedicated server room for just one ticketing system in our scenic area, can we?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Qian rubbed his forehead again, realizing that it was their fault once more.
Embarrassed.
Chen Jincheng didn't hesitate and looked directly at Sister Hong.
She understood what he meant, took out her phone and contacted the people in the Second Starry Sky Games department: "Immediately arrange for a few programmers to come to Jinglan City and bring a backup server."
Seeing this, Fu Qian breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Chen, don't worry, Jinglan City will reimburse this expense."
Tickets for Jinglan City sold out instantly, and the system even crashed, leaving many ticket-buying enthusiasts bewildered.
Chen He was certain that he had grabbed the tickets as quickly as possible, and then he saw a pop-up notification that the tickets were sold out.
What the hell? How come it's so fast?
When he looked at his girlfriend beside him, his expression turned awkward: "Um, the tickets are sold out."
His girlfriend's gaze was murderous: "Are you doing this on purpose? You looked like you were in pain when we bought the Hanfu before?"
"I didn't, I really didn't." Chen He was stunned; he was truly wronged.
Wang Kai was even more confused. He discovered something even more embarrassing: he had successfully bought the ticket and paid for it, but the ticketing system had not issued the ticket.
This prompted him to contact customer service immediately. Although it was only two tickets and a little over 100 yuan, which wasn't a lot of money, it was still quite disgusting to encounter this situation.
However, he received a message from customer service that the ticketing system had crashed due to too many people trying to buy tickets.
He was completely dumbfounded. How many people would it take to crash your system?
However, when the tickets finally went on sale, many people found that they couldn't buy any, and they started to make a fuss.
After all, people had been looking forward to it for so long and had even bought Hanfu (traditional Han clothing). In particular, those who found that the tickets were sold out were all asking for more tickets to be sold.
I haven't received a response yet, and the Jinglan City ticketing system remains unchanged despite my repeated clicking.
This caused some online controversy. The news that Jinglan City's tickets sold out instantly became a trending topic, and it also raised some issues. Some bloggers who like to take shortcuts started to jump on the bandwagon, which seemed to be causing conflict.
In Jinglan City, Sister Hong reported to Chen Jincheng: "Boss, this blogger posted a video to hype up the situation and claim that we are playing the scarcity marketing game again and deliberately not selling tickets."
As he spoke, he handed him his phone and played a video.
This is a video posted by a self-media account called "Loloko".
"As everyone knows, Jinglan City has been something we've been looking forward to for so long. We've all bought so many Hanfu to support Chen Jincheng, and he's even broken the record for video sales again. But it's a bit much that the tickets sold out as soon as they went on sale."
"This is another typical example of unseemly behavior. They're still playing the scarcity marketing game at this point? I do understand the ticketing system at scenic spots. Even if tickets are sold out, they quickly release backup tickets or even add more."
"..."
Chen Jincheng immediately understood that this was just someone trying to ride the coattails of a trending topic. But if you're going to try to ride it, then don't do it recklessly. Isn't that just asking for trouble?
Mr. Wu overheard it.
Now, the person who cares more about Jinglan City than Chen Jincheng is this person from Linhai City.
"What's going on? Let me see!" Wu Teng said, frowning.
Chen Jincheng handed him the phone, and after looking at it for a while, the man took out his phone and started making a call.
Sister Hong laughed when she saw this.
She deliberately brought this up in public, knowing Mr. Wu's identity, just so that this person trying to ride on his coattails would die, and she would intentionally report it to her boss on his behalf.
People who blindly ride the wave of trending topics are disgusting.
LoloMedia is not actually an account name, but a studio name. Its main business is operating accounts for discussing current events.
Simply put, they have no main business and specialize in riding the coattails of trending topics.
They don't chase entertainment trends; instead, they capitalize on current events to increase their authority, leading outsiders to believe they are genuine news media.
For example, this time, he tried to ride on Chen Jincheng's popularity with criticism, and the other party would think that they were genuine news media criticizing him. Therefore, many netizens would also mistakenly believe that this was the case and support their journalistic justice.
If they have enough followers, many people will be afraid of their criticisms in the future, and they will come knocking on their door asking for news coverage, which will bring them profits.
The owner of the Loloco store, named Loloco, is very satisfied with the increase in followers.
Chan Kam-ching is still very popular. He can gain so many fans just by casually riding on someone else's popularity.
Just then, someone came in to remind us: "Boss, someone has leaked information online that Jinglan City's system seems to have crashed, so they can't sell tickets. It's not a case of scarcity marketing. There's something wrong with how we're using this video. You can use another account to criticize this one."
Rocco nodded; this was also where his intelligence lay.
Different accounts, different oppositions. Often, an event gets attention from both sides. If one side is wrong, an apology is all that's needed.
He was about to arrange for someone to do so when another employee rushed in to report: "Boss, something bad has happened. Our account has just been blocked for spreading false information and endangering public safety."
"???" Luo Ke was startled and quickly asked, "Which account?"
The employee said with a look of dejection, "It's all the accounts. All of Lolo's accounts are gone."
"What?" Luo Ke's eyes widened in disbelief. How could they have spread false information and endangered public safety? What had they done? They were just trying to ride on Chen Jin's coattails.
...
In Jinglan City, Sister Hong also reported the good news to Chen Jincheng: "Boss, Luo Luo Ke's account is gone, and moreover, all the accounts of that other studio are gone."
Chen Jincheng was not surprised by this. These accounts that try to ride the wave of popularity, especially those that don't speak according to the facts, were definitely doomed once Mr. Wu made a phone call.
Unless Douyin is stubborn.
It's not that Dou Yin is afraid of Mr. Wu; after all, Dou Yin definitely has powerful backers, especially when they become media outlets in the future, their backers will be even stronger.
Rather, Douyin has no reason to make someone like Mr. Wu unhappy for the sake of this kind of account.
Because such accounts have no value to Douyin, or rather, even if they are top-tier internet celebrities, Douyin might ban them without hesitation. After all, the account did something wrong, and Douyin saw it and even gave instructions.
This is why local support is necessary for live-streaming e-commerce to grow and thrive.
"Boss, Sister Hong, the ticketing system for Jinglan City has been restored," a programmer from Ershixingchen immediately reported. "The server has also been installed."
Upon hearing this news, Fu Qian hurriedly instructed the person in charge of the scenic area: "What are you waiting for? Get the tickets ready!"
"How much?" the person in charge immediately asked.
"Let's add another 15 tickets," Fu Qian hurriedly said.
Without hesitation, the person in charge immediately made the arrangements.
On the other hand, Chen He, who had previously failed to secure a ticket and was scolded by his girlfriend, had been keeping a close eye on the situation. As soon as he saw that tickets were available again, he immediately tried to buy them.
Just then, he noticed that his mobile network signal had disappeared. He saw his girlfriend angrily take out the router and say, "You deliberately didn't try to buy tickets, didn't you? I'll make sure you can't play games either."
Chen He looked at the router, his face twitching, and said, "Honey, I have good news and bad news for you."
His girlfriend scoffed, "What good news? What bad news? What are you trying to say?"
Chen He said with a forced smile, "The good news is that tickets for Jinglan City are back on sale, and I managed to snag one while I'm paying."
"Really? Honey, I love you." His girlfriend immediately came up, hugged him, and kissed him.
He awkwardly said, "At the last second, the wireless connection disappeared, and after I clicked 'confirm payment,' nothing happened."
His girlfriend was stunned when she heard this. When she saw his phone screen and the payment confirmation interface, she immediately yelled, "Then what are you waiting for? Use 5G!"
Chen He didn't dare to hesitate, hurriedly switched to 5G, and started clicking to pay again.
But the pop-up notification embarrassed him: "Um, it says the tickets are sold out again."
My girlfriend is about to have a meltdown: "Damn it, I bought a 3000 yuan Hanfu, is it really that hard to buy a 52 yuan ticket?"
Online, many people saw that Jinglan City tickets were available for the second time and bought them immediately. Those who were quick enough were very happy to have bought tickets.
Those who were slow to react were stunned; the tickets were gone again.
Can Jinglan City please be more generous with the ticket releases? Don't release them bit by bit.
At the ticket center, apart from Chen Jincheng, Wu Teng, Fu Qian, Lei Xiaojun, Wei Yuan, Sister Hong... everyone was dumbfounded as they watched the number of remaining tickets drop to 0.
“This…” Fu Qian felt his heart pounding.
With 30 people already booked, and the tickets sold out so quickly, it means there are still many people who haven't been able to buy tickets.
"Mr. Chen, how many more votes do you think we should get?" Wu Teng looked at Chen Jincheng, his tone already somewhat abnormal, his heart racing. This wasn't even the limit.
How much GDP growth will Jinglan City ultimately bring to Linhai City?
The saying that a tourist attraction can boost a city is often heard online, right?
Chen Jincheng immediately said, "Jinglan City can easily accommodate 70 tourists. To be on the safe side, we should add another 40 tickets. In addition, just in case, I think we should open up reservations for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and extend the Hanfu outing day by three days."
He knew that his company sold a lot of Hanfu, more than 100 million pieces.
The machines in both the factories and the contract manufacturers are burning out, and they dare not accept large orders due to capacity issues. However, once the orders are completed and the order book is opened, there are still many people placing orders.
However, Hanfu priced at over 400 and 3000 yuan are not something that ordinary people, apart from Hanfu enthusiasts, would be willing to buy. But they still want to join in the fun and come to Jinglan City to take photos. There must be many people who buy cheaper Hanfu outside.
This ratio could be 5 times or 10 times.
"What are you still standing there for?" Wu Teng urged impatiently.
Even with his current high status, he can hardly remain calm.
70 tourists would bring a 7%-14% increase to Linhai City on the same day. Moreover, 14% is not the limit; the consumption they calculated is the approximate per capita consumption.
However, tourists are often very generous when they travel. As long as there is something attractive enough for them, they will usually spend more than they are allowed.
How many industrial chains and how many jobs can such a large GDP growth drive?
Scenic area workers, maintenance workers, vegetable suppliers, meat suppliers, seafood suppliers, garment factories, vegetable plantations, seafood farmers, meat farming, farm workers, transportation workers, transportation infrastructure workers...
Countless people, 70 people can boost all sectors of Linhai City.
When Lei Xiaojun heard the number 70, he felt a little numb. Was this the ability of General Manager Chen?
The other party's marketing strategy has such terrifying effects in any industry.
The person in charge immediately had another 40 votes added, and then, to everyone's astonishment, the number of votes began to decrease rapidly, quickly dropping to 10, and then 15.
Wu Teng barely dared to hesitate and immediately shouted to Fu Qian, "What are you waiting for? Quickly contact the support personnel from various scenic spots, as well as the scenic spots in various counties and the service personnel from the official guesthouses, and transfer them all over. Tomorrow, we will guarantee the successful operation of Jinglan City."
After giving the instructions, he immediately took out his phone and instructed, "Notify me to increase patrols in the area surrounding Jinglan City tomorrow, and also to review the sanitation and fire safety issues again tonight."
It can be said that a city has started to go to great lengths for a tourist attraction.
The impact doesn't stop there; it will be even more shocking once the ticket booking data for Jinglan City is released.
