When Director Zhou heard Qin Zi'an's question, he was somewhat taken aback.

What are you saying?

This makes him, Zhou, seem like a villain who discriminates between domestic and foreign countries.

If the prices in Zhangjiajie weren't so outrageous, several times higher than those in other scenic spots, Director Zhou wouldn't have brought up the issue of controlling prices.

But now that Qin Zian had said that, Director Zhou couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

He genuinely didn't intend to discriminate between Chinese and foreigners; he simply didn't want prices in Zhangjiajie to skyrocket again.

Once prices in Zhangjiajie stabilize, it will be difficult to manage them later.

Director Zhou pondered for a moment before softly revealing his thoughts.

"Xiao Qin, this is my plan. We'll start with Zhangjiajie and gradually control prices throughout Xiangcheng to prevent them from rising further."

"Director Zhou, I'm just in charge of cultural and tourism promotion. Price matters are not my responsibility. You can handle your internal affairs yourselves."

Seeing Qin Zi'an's attitude, Director Zhou was filled with regret.

Damn it!!

What was he thinking before, that he was so unwilling to budge on the issue of prices?

Now look what's happened; Qin Zi'an has driven up prices in Zhangjiajie to ridiculously high levels.

The most critical issue is that public opinion in China is currently overwhelmingly positive, expressing great satisfaction with this act of exploiting those Korean bastards.

Even more and more ordinary people are applying to go to Zhangjiajie to set up stalls.

Fruit buffets and pickle buffets are one thing, but now they've even introduced fried chicken buffets...

In less than half a month, all sorts of Korean restaurants sprang up, and prices skyrocketed in tandem.

If Director Zhou doesn't take control, Zhangjiajie, and even the entire Xiangcheng, will be in chaos.

Given the urgency of the situation, Director Zhou quickly joined forces with various departments to issue a proposal to further control prices in Xiangcheng.

Regardless, this advocacy document was officially released and is authoritative.

Furthermore, many public officials visited various shops and made adjustments to prices.

Those shops that have been investigated are absolutely not allowed to reopen until they have made adjustments.

Under such a large-scale control effort, the outrageous prices in Zhangjiajie have finally come down.

As a result, prices in other parts of Xiangcheng also saw a slight decrease.

Although prices are still high compared to other cities.

However, compared to before, this situation has greatly improved.

Seeing that prices in Xiangcheng had stabilized, Qin Zian was ready to finalize his plans for cultural tourism in Zhangjiajie.

Just as Director Zhou had worried before, South Korea's population is not large, and the number of middle-aged and elderly people is even more limited.

Qin Zi'an put so much effort into promoting this, not just for them to come and visit once.

Nowadays, all sorts of Korean restaurants have sprung up in Zhangjiajie, offering a wider variety than even those in Korea itself.

Most importantly, China is a major grain-producing country, and the prices of fruits and vegetables are much lower than those in South Korea.

This is why those tourists visiting Zhangjiajie are willing to spend a lot of money to eat at the fruit buffet.

Not to mention the cuisine of the Dragon Kingdom, which is absolutely impeccable.

The Korean food served at the Korean restaurants in Zhangjiajie is absolutely no less delicious than what you'd find in Korea itself.

Faced with such high-quality and affordable Zhangjiajie, tourists from South Korea simply couldn't resist the temptation.

It only takes three hours by plane, and going through customs is quite convenient.

Naturally, these South Korean tourists have no reason to refuse to frequently visit Zhangjiajie.

With such a steady stream of tourists, Zhangjiajie's development will certainly not be a problem.

Therefore, Qin Zi'an instructed Xiangcheng TV to publicize the news of Zhangjiajie's price reduction, making sure that the target audience saw the news.

Borrowing from Jizhou's slogan "So close, so beautiful, visit Jizhou on the weekend," Zhangjiajie's slogan "So close, so beautiful, visit Zhangjiajie on the weekend" has also received a great response.

The Koreans already thought that prices in Zhangjiajie were very cheap, and that they could eat fruits, vegetables, and pickles without any guilt.

The news of the price reduction had barely reached them when the elderly people in South Korea couldn't take it anymore.

"Now you can have a fruit buffet for only 40 Chinese Yuan? That's almost half the price! Wow! Looks like I have to go to Zhangjiajie again to continue my fruit freedom."

"I wanted to go to Zhangjiajie with my best friend last time, but she had some unfilial children. Now, things are much better. Prices in Zhangjiajie have dropped, and I can finally go with my best friend."

"Korean businesses, you should be a little worried! The food in Zhangjiajie is much better than yours. My husband and I have decided that we'll spend our weekends in Zhangjiajie from now on. It's so close and so beautiful, we'll definitely go to Zhangjiajie for the weekends."

"A life without visiting Zhangjiajie is incomplete! I've already made plans with my best friend to embark on my third trip to Zhangjiajie tomorrow. I heard that some new and delicious restaurants have opened there, and we definitely have to go and try them out."

"I recommend everyone to try the state banquet set meal in Zhangjiajie. For 88 yuan per person, you can enjoy more than ten kinds of kimchi, many of which are styles that South Korea has never seen before. I've been craving it ever since I had it last time. I wonder how much cheaper it is now that prices have dropped."

"I just had the state banquet set meal today, which cost 50 yuan per person. Rounding up, that's almost the price of a fruit buffet. Zhangjiajie is truly showing its sincerity. Don't hesitate, come and enjoy this paradise trip!"

Compared to the propaganda from Xiangcheng TV, the verbal propaganda from those old bastards in South Korea was far more effective.

Nowadays, all South Koreans are proud to have visited Zhangjiajie.

Even if prices don't drop, this booming tourism trend won't decline.

However, once every middle-aged and elderly person from South Korea has visited Zhangjiajie, the scenic area will quickly decline.

After all, such a small country doesn't have a large population.

However, now that Xiangcheng has introduced price control policies, Zhangjiajie has begun to enter a phase of sustained international tourism development.

Needless to say, cultural tourism in Zhangjiajie will continue to thrive and remain popular for a long time.
