After admiring it silently for a while, Fatty Guo lifted his leg and continued forward. Ahead was a moon gate, and two security guards were on duty in the guardhouse next to it.
Fatty Guo pulled out his concert tickets. "Brothers, I'm here to see the concert. It's still a bit early, so I'd like to check out the nearby factories to see if they have any suitable merchandise. Could you two please let me through?"
The security guard standing at the door smiled, reached into the security room and pulled out a barcode scanner, scanned the ticket, and it seemed to work without any problems. "Just walk straight along this road, see that big hall over there? Someone will greet you when you enter the hall."
Fatty Guo was surprised that the ticket could be scanned here. "Brother, your scanner can even scan concert tickets?"
The security guard smiled and said, "All of our company's barcode scanners are connected to the main switchboard. They can scan any barcode related to the company, so we don't waste the storage space in the server room."
Fatty Guo exclaimed in surprise, "That's pretty awesome! Does that mean the same code is valid throughout the entire company?"
The security guard nodded. "Actually, it's okay if you don't bring this ticket. As long as you have the barcode for the ticket on your phone, you can use it anywhere in public, including for lunch and dinner today. You can just scan the code and pay without having to pay separately."
This time, Fatty Guo was genuinely impressed. "This ticket includes free lunch and dinner! Thank you so much! I didn't even know that. I was worried about what to eat for lunch and dinner after arriving here. Apart from your company, this place is just out in the middle of nowhere. To eat, we have to go to the university town, which is about 10 or 20 kilometers away. It's a bit of a rush to get there and back."
After thanking the security guard, Fatty Guo followed the guard's directions and continued along the path. Thinking about what the guard had said, he sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Although two meals are not a big deal, Mr. Fang's kindness is very touching. This is what an idol who cares about his fans is like, even if he doesn't say it to you."
Fatty Guo, holding a selfie stick, strolled leisurely toward the surrounding factories. Looking at the envious comments filling the live stream, he laughed and said, "If you're envious, you'd better be quick next time. Given Boss Fang's situation, it's unrealistic for him to hold ten or eight concerts a year in other cities. He doesn't have that much time. So, getting concert tickets is a real win. Don't blame me for not warning you!"
Seeing the disbelief expressed in the live stream, Fatty Guo laughed and said, "Right now, President Fang is focusing most of his energy on film production, especially big IPs. Yuewen Entertainment Media doesn't have enough directors in its pipeline. Currently, only Director Wang can fill in, but I think President Fang's main focus for Director Wang is martial arts films. So, who needs to take over the production of 'Ghost Blows Out the Light,' which has already been completed? Only President Fang, who has successful experience in 3D filming with 'Operation Red Sea,' can personally handle it. Moreover, President Fang once mentioned a grand outer space science fiction film IP, the first one of which is called 'Star Wars.' I believe everyone remembers that. Tell me, how much energy does he have left to hold concerts?"
The entire live stream was stunned by Guo Pangzi's analysis. "Does that mean it will be difficult to see President Fang's concert in the future?"
"I was even thinking of going to support Mr. Fang when he holds a concert near my area, but it was all for nothing."
Some people complained that they were feeling down.
"Sigh, aside from making movies, the quality of other songs by Mr. Fang is also a bit lacking. Although they are not terrible, they just feel a bit lacking."
"You mean it won't become a classic? That's not surprising. At least tens of thousands of songs are released in China every year, but how many of them can stand the test of time?"
"Fang's album is still of the highest quality. Even after so long, I never get tired of listening to it every day!"
"You should be content. This is a classic album, every song of which could be a hit. You should be satisfied with just one copy."
...
Seeing the groans filling the live stream, Fatty Guo smirked, "Alright, remember this for the future: seize the opportunity when it comes, because once it's gone, it's gone forever. Cherish every moment!"
Just then, they reached the end of the alley, where two security guards stood at the entrance to a large hall. Fatty Guo knew this was the entrance to the surrounding factories.
"Brothers, the nearby factories have arrived. I'll check what new products they have later. If you need them, you can place an order. Don't worry, the price will be the factory price, but you'll have to pay for the shipping yourself. I'll ask later if we can ship directly from here."
Having already passed one checkpoint, Fatty Guo expertly showed his ticket. The two security guards didn't say a word, swiped it, and then pointed to the hall on the right, telling Fatty Guo to go and take a look.
Turning the corner of the lobby and pushing open a glass door, Guo Pangzi was greeted by a young woman as soon as he entered. "Welcome! How can I help you?"
Fatty Guo held up his selfie stick and said, "Can we do a live stream here? I'm a fan of Mr. Fang. I came here specifically to see his concert. The fans in the live stream want to see what new merchandise is available. If they like it, they'd like to take it home as a souvenir."
"It's alright. We often have fans coming here to buy merchandise. This time we released some children's theme park merchandise, but it hasn't been released to the market yet. You've come at a good time."
Guo Pangzi followed the receptionist toward the display shelf, exclaiming with delight, "Is your children's theme park about to open? You already have merchandise?"
"It's hard to say. I'm just a lowly receptionist, how would I know about the leaders' plans?"
The receptionist smiled slyly, "These are the merchandise items from our children's theme park. Take a look and see if there's anything you like?"
Looking at the exquisitely designed architectural models, Fatty Guo said, "These are all architectural models of your children's theme park, right? They look quite beautiful. Brothers, do you see any you like? If we take them all home, we can probably browse the Yuewen Children's Theme Park from the comfort of our homes, haha!"
As he spoke, Fatty Guo chuckled to himself, "Miss, are there any discounts available for buying this model right now?"
"With a concert ticket, you can get a 30% discount right now. These are the first batch produced. Once they hit the market, the supply will be very tight, and the price will be hard to predict."
Fatty Guo didn't know what the 30% discount was based on, and the key was that there was no price comparison. However, the showroom was full of merchandise, and as long as he compared the prices of the merchandise he was familiar with, the answer would be easy to find.
"Can I take a look at the other merchandise first? There are too many people in the live stream, and everyone has different purchasing intentions. It will be easier for everyone to place an order after we've looked at all the merchandise."
"No problem, you can go ahead and take a look. I'm right at the service desk, just call me anytime if you need anything."
Okay, no problem.
Fatty Guo likes this kind of receptionist who gives customers enough time to think and compare. This is the most basic respect for customers, rather than pushing sales just to make money!
