Lin Xiaoxiao woke up from a hardworking office worker to a rich second generation in another world. She thought her wonderful life was about to begin.
However, before her new life arrived, it...
[The holiday has finally started! I can finally stay home and watch "The Ten-Thousand-Yuan Household" every day. So happy!]
[What's there to be happy about? It's the last long holiday before the Lunar New Year. (Seaside lounge chair viewing "The Ten-Thousand-Yuan Household" vacation photo.JPG)]
[The person upstairs is really malicious!]
[Damn it! He got me!]
[I really want to go in and play, but unfortunately "The Ten Thousand Yuan Household" won't end until the end of the year, so it probably won't officially open to the public until next year. When will Feiyang Entertainment release tickets?!]
[I've already arrived at Penglai Island to satisfy my cravings, and I must say, the scenery is truly beautiful. You run into an artist from Feiyang Entertainment every few steps, but I haven't seen CEO Lin. The thought that CEO Lin is still working during his holiday fills me with an indescribable joy (*^▽^*).]
[To the person upstairs: I've taken a screenshot. I'll post it on the Feiyang Entertainment website as soon as the park opens. If you want me to delete it, you'll have to switch places with me right now and I'll go to the island instead!!]
What time did you arrive to wait for the ferry? I got up really early and was still at the port boarding the ferry to the island. (Port photo.JPG)
Look what this is (a picture of coffee/tea; imagine it says "Feiyang Brand Coffee/Tea" on it).JPG
【Aaaaaah!!! How did you get into the park?! !!!】
[Have tickets already gone on sale?! I didn't see it!!!]
Is this vintage coffee cup what I imagined?! A hotel for foreign guests?! Is this the hotel for foreign guests I was thinking of?!
During this bustling holiday, Feiyang Entertainment and the Foreign Guest Hotel became trending topics, even overshadowing many other news stories about overcrowded tourist attractions.
The top ten entries were all related terms, such as Feiyang Food Factory, Foreign Guest Hotel is open for business, Who is a millionaire, Salty soda, Penglai Island and so on. Even contestant Qu Lixin was listed at the end of these entries.
#Qu Lixin, come see the coffee and tea you made#
Lin Xiaoxiao listened to Secretary Zhao's report from behind the monitor, completely baffled.
The show "Who is the Ten Thousand Yuan Household" was originally intended to cripple the M platform, but it's already trending on social media even before it's fully launched.
Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't even see the counterattack of the "Recruitment Conference" on the M platform. As a result, the trending topic even crashed Feiyang Entertainment's official website for three minutes. If it weren't for the fact that the post-production and game departments had purchased a large number of servers beforehand, the crash would probably have lasted even longer.
"Are you so excited about the opening of the foreign guests' hotel?" The program hasn't even aired yet.
Lin Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled. She picked up the same coffee cup that was trending on social media and took a sip of this old-fashioned coffee tea. It was just small pieces of coffee powder and sugar mixed together and brewed with boiling water. It seemed pretty ordinary.
The origin of this trending topic at the Foreign Guests Hotel was enjoying a steaming cup of coffee and tea. The sweet taste was indeed reminiscent of childhood memories. However, compared to the taste of childhood, the Feiyang brand coffee and tea sold in the hotel comes in different formulations in cardboard boxes.
There are versions that recreate the recipes from childhood, low-sugar versions, versions with a perfect balance, and of course, sugar-free versions. These small cardboard boxes are slightly larger than mung bean cakes, and each box is quite sturdy. The packaging also incorporates the logo of Feiyang Entertainment, reflecting the design of that era, giving it a strong sense of nostalgia.
The hotel for foreign guests has two entrances, one of which is outside the park, allowing guests to enter the store for tasting and shopping without having to go inside the park.
Gu Feifei looked at the side of the door she had come in through, where there was a clean asphalt road, buses, and ships in the harbor in the distance. People on the island were taking pictures with their phones.
The foreign guest hotel has a retro feel, with some vintage features, but in contrast to the completely retro area on the other side, there are also some fashionable and modern features, such as clean sinks, dryers and modern restrooms.
She looked towards the other side of the Foreign Guests Hotel, the filming area of "Who is the Ten Thousand Yuan Household". Through the glass window on the other side, she could see people in dark blue or military green clothes walking around on the street. It was as if she had traveled back to the 1960s at a glance. It was like opening a shop in another world in a novel.
It's a wonderful feeling to have a hotel for foreign guests that connects a world steeped in nostalgia with a modern world.
However, the foreign guest hotels nowadays don't have many dishes, but most of them have the feel of old-fashioned Western restaurants, and there is a vintage menu displayed in a glass case for tourists to take pictures.
The prices were relatively cheap, and since it was a trial opening, they even gave away a plate of cookies. They even accepted mobile payments. Gu Feifei couldn't help but laugh at her own thoughts. What did she mean by accepting mobile payments? This was modern society after all; the park on the other side of the window was so incredibly realistic.
Gu Feifei sat by the window on the side of the park closest to the entrance, watching the people in the park without cell phones or electronic devices, but it was like watching a TV drama. She watched like this for an entire afternoon, until it was almost closing time, before buying some souvenirs such as coffee, tea, candy, and cookies from the Grassland Hero Sisters, and leaving with a lingering sense of satisfaction.
The next day was another day back to work after the holiday. Lin Xiaoxiao felt completely listless. She was sitting in the monitoring room, eating breakfast delivered by the foreign guests' hotel, which included coffee, tea, and biscuits. At noon, she also received braised beef, garlic bread, and buttered salmon from the foreign guests' restaurant.
Originally, the foreign guests restaurant was supposed to open after the park opened, but these days, Lin Xiaoxiao saw people on the monitor eating greasy food at the state-run restaurant, so for the sake of the staff, she quickly expedited the procedures and opened the foreign guests restaurant.
It's definitely not because she's greedy. She can eat whatever she wants outside, so she's not greedy at all.
"Mr. Lin, some established companies want to cooperate with us."
Lin Xiaoxiao listened as Secretary Zhao counted them one by one. There were at least a dozen companies, many of which were old companies established in the 1960s and 70s. However, after the reform and opening up, they were impacted by the entry of foreign capital, and it was already difficult for them to survive to this day.
"Work with us? Shoot a commercial? We at Feiyang Entertainment don't think we've ever done any commercials before..."
Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to be deep in thought. She was only slightly knowledgeable about advertising, and had only ever seen it but never actually worked with it.
"It's not about shooting an advertisement; they want product placement in 'Who is the Ten-Thousand-Yuan Household' and can cooperate with Feiyang Entertainment to produce related products. If possible, some companies hope to have a dedicated counter in the state-owned stores in the park, and others also want a counter in the park's gift shop."
Lin Xiaoxiao finally understood; it turned out it was for implantation.
After receiving calls from various companies these past few days, and based on his own investigations, Secretary Zhao discovered that these older companies were not adapting to the current internet age. So he advised them, "Now it's the internet age. These older companies already have thin profit margins and many employees, so they can't afford to buy traffic. They are only surviving thanks to government support."
Lin Xiaoxiao was somewhat tempted, but how could a project designed to cripple the M platform be growing so large?! How was she going to manage this?!
Although I was a little panicked, I thought to myself that having more debts is better than having less.
"Then let's cooperate. Of course, it has to be a company with all the necessary licenses and permits, and no problems. Let's talk to the animation department about the packaging and other designs."
