13 (Next chapter to enter V)
Just last night, Ye Han received a new task issued by the system.
Just like last time, it was basically seamless.
However, Ye Han was mentally prepared this time and felt that it would be related to the opening of the park.
[Advanced Task 3: Please open the park within 15 days and achieve an average daily flow of more than 800 people within two months after opening.
Mission Reward: Perform a comprehensive upgrade of the garden's drainage and irrigation system. 】
After seeing the reward, Ye Han couldn't help but be tempted.
Because this reward is not only practical but also very necessary.
The water supply and drainage system in the park was laid a long time ago and has fallen into disrepair. The pollution of the artificial lake was largely related to this aspect.
But there is no other way. If the entire system is to be overhauled and replaced, it will not only be a huge, time-consuming and labor-intensive project, but also require a huge amount of funds, and is estimated to cost more than several million.
After all, no plant in the botanical garden can do without water irrigation.
Things like the circulation and replenishment of the artificial lake, the discharge of accumulated water in the garden after rain, the irrigation of trees, the laying of direct drinking water pipelines, etc., none of them is a small project.
Judging from the current financial situation, Ye Han can only try his best to maintain the status quo.
But...her eyes swept across the words on the light screen. With the support of Galaxy technology, these problems can be solved perfectly.
The prerequisite is to complete the task requirements.
Ye Han took a deep breath. Corresponding to the generous reward, the difficulty of this mission was also very high.
The park will open within 15 days, which is very rushed in terms of schedule.
Although she has completed the layout of two landscape areas - the aquatic plant landscape belt and the characteristic glass greenhouse; the plants in the garden have also been restored to life through careful cultivation and the use of plant nutrient solution, but there are still many details that need to be dealt with.
The first is the personnel issue.
It is far from enough to rely on only two landscaping workers to maintain a botanical garden covering an area of 300 acres. At least 3-4 people including ticket sellers (ticket inspectors), cleaners, security guards, etc. need to be recruited. This is the most basic configuration.
For the tourists’ experience, a boat trip on the lake is also essential.
Ye Han plans to rent a rowing boat with the most Jiangnan characteristics. It will be a wonderful experience to smell the lotus fragrance, listen to the folk tunes, and travel through the green lotus pond under the breeze of the lake.
In addition, the overall introduction of the botanical garden, tourist attraction guide map, detailed introduction of key plants, road signs, etc. should be completed as soon as possible and posted in the garden to bring convenience to tourists.
…
If I list them one by one, the things are numerous and trivial.
But thankfully, these things can be accomplished with a little more time.
Ye Han sat by the window. The translucent window reflected the girl's slim figure. The tip of the pen made a quiet rustling sound as it fell on the paper.
After a moment, she put the pen aside and sighed silently.
Opening the park is only one aspect; the most important issue is the flow of visitors.
What the young man said last time was right. In an economic downturn, people will spend less on travel and the competitive pressure will be greater than before.
It is extremely difficult for an unknown botanical garden to stand out among many attractions and achieve the required daily traffic.
A daily flow of 800 people may not seem like a lot, but if we calculate based on the summer opening hours of 8:30 and closing time of 17:00, excluding the last half hour when ticket checking is stopped, then within the 8 hours when the park is open, there will be an average of 100 people visiting the scenic area every hour, and this number will continue unabated, no more and no less.
Even some national 3A and 4A parks may not receive this much visitor traffic on weekdays except holidays.
What's more, the location here is very remote and its popularity is close to zero, which cannot be compared with those well-known scenic spots at all.
Right now we can only rely on publicity.
Ye Han highlighted this item with an asterisk.
In the Internet age, information spreads at an extremely fast speed. People are flooded with tens of thousands of pieces of information every day, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, real and fake.
In order to save time, people often seek answers on the Internet.
For example, before going to a restaurant or tourist attraction, I will make a plan in advance, read reviews, search for photos... and use other people's information as a reference.
And this "others" refers to comments on various review apps, personal reviews by certain bloggers, or recommendations from friends around you, etc.
Therefore, publicity should also start from these aspects.
As for how to maintain popularity after the promotion and bring in a steady stream of customers, that is another issue that needs to be considered.
Thinking of this, Ye Han felt a little annoyed and stood up to open the window.
The temperature after the rain has not yet risen, but the fresh air accompanied by the gentle breeze gradually dispels the irritability in my heart.
Ye Han lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, then wrote down the part he thought was more important:
①Unique advantages (selling points)
②Perfect sightseeing experience (satisfaction)
③Exposure (publicity) in mainstream media
④The urge to take photos and share (word-of-mouth promotion)
If we can do these as much as possible, perhaps we will not be so far away from completing the task.
*
The materials that were customized some time ago were delivered very quickly.
The original name 'Nanshan Botanical Garden' had no distinctiveness and was similar to many botanical gardens. Ye Han simply changed it to 'Huajianji', which was concise and catchy, and also set the tone for its subsequent development.
The other materials were placed in their corresponding positions in turn.
With the hand-drawn map at the entrance and the road signs distributed along the road, the botanical garden looks much more standardized, and the distribution of various scenery is clear at a glance, providing convenience for tourists' visits.
At the same time, custom-made introduction signs are placed around some iconic trees and fences, so that visitors can not only appreciate the plants, but also have the opportunity to learn and understand them.
The personnel needs were posted on the website in advance, but the recruitment process was much faster than Ye Han expected.
The cleaner was recommended by Liu Chunling. Her name is Zhou Lan, female, 45 years old.
He used to be a cleaner in the community. He has many years of work experience, is quick and nimble, and can start work immediately.
The ticket seller and security guard were two young college students.
The ticket seller was a girl with a round face named Liu Yi.
After she failed the postgraduate entrance examination, her parents wanted her to take it again, but she was under so much pressure that she was about to collapse. She felt like vomiting every time she did the questions, so she simply ran away from home.
She doesn't have any requirements for salary, as long as she has food and accommodation and is not starving.
The other boy was called Hu Yuanfeng. He was very tall, estimated to be over 185cm tall. He looked well-dressed in a security uniform, but had a mature face that did not match his age.
After graduation, he was persuaded by his friends to do telemarketing. He didn't make any sales for several months. After being demoted, he suffered a psychological setback and vowed never to do sales again.
Later, his friends said that his body shape was suitable for being a security guard, so Hu Yuanfeng used his remaining savings to obtain a security guard certificate and is currently trying hard to find a job.
If he can't find a job, he will be starving and won't even have money to pay the rent, and he is too embarrassed to tell his family.
Hu Yuanfeng saw on the Internet that they were recruiting security guards here, providing food and accommodation, and the salary and benefits were good, so he decided to come and give it a try.
After the interview, Ye Han felt that both of them had a strong desire to apply for the job, and their expressions and thinking logic were clear. Liu Yi had also taught himself PS and photography, and the photos he edited were remarkable, which was a pleasant surprise.
She had a good overall impression of the two men and planned to hire them if they had no objection to the work content.
Ye Han first took them to familiarize themselves with the environment of the botanical garden, and finally arrived at the dormitory amid the two people's admiring gazes.
After seeing the configuration of the room, Liu Yi's eyes lit up and he immediately sat on the bed covered with a cool mat: "Director, that's great, I'll move in tomorrow!"
The environment here is much better than she had imagined. She thought it would be like the employee dormitories of other companies, with 4 or 8 people in a room, but she didn't expect it to be just 2 people in a room!
Moreover, the beds are separate, the space is large, and there is an independent bathroom. The decoration and furniture inside are all new, and it is no different from renting a house.
She was so pleased with it here!
The environment is beautiful, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and there are such good accommodation conditions and treatment.
Liu Yi thought to herself that as long as the botanical garden didn't go bankrupt, she would never leave.
After the two moved in, there were still ten days before the park opened.
During this period, Liu Yi made full use of his expertise and worked with Ye Han to prepare for the promotion of Huajianji.
They did not hire a professional photographer or photo retoucher. The first reason was that they wanted to present the most realistic beauty. The second reason was that the scenery of Huajianji was beautiful in itself and did not need any modification.
Liu Yi took her camera and took hundreds of photos in the garden. When she looked through the photos, she was surprised herself.
Really no need for photo editing!
As long as you find the right shooting angle and lighting, any photo will look good.
In terms of publicity, Ye Han chose Victoria amazonica as the star plant, and the two of them measured the largest leaf of the Victoria amazonica together.
"What the hell! What the hell!!" Liu Yi looked at the numbers on the steel ruler, his eyes widened: "The diameter is actually 3.05 meters——"
Oh my god, it was the first time she saw such a big Victoria amazonica. It felt like ten of her could lie under it.
This alone is enough to attract tourists.
Ye Han wrote down the numbers and prepared to test its bearing capacity.
Liu Yi trembled as he looked at the shaking water waves: "Director, can we both stand on it together? Will we really not sink?"
She gained more than ten pounds at home and now weighs almost 110 pounds.
The leaf of Victoria amazonica is big, but no matter how big it is, it is still a leaf. Can it really bear the weight of two adults?
Ye Han used the golden finger on Wang Lian, and then replied affirmatively: "No problem."
Liu Yi: “…”
Why are you suddenly so sure?
Okay.
She quietly wiped the sweat from her hands on her pants, mustered up the courage to agree. In fact, she was quite curious.

"Sister Qingshuang, where did you take this photo? The scenery is so beautiful!!"
"Sihasha, Shuangshuang's dancing has reached a new level this time! She is pure and charming, with a sweet smile and beautiful eyes. Sister, how can you dance so well (crying)."
"Report the blogger for animal abuse because she abandoned my dog QAQ."
"Tips! Tidbits! Knock on the bowl, etc."
"I'm sorry, I'm ignorant, but what is the blogger standing on? How can people not sink if they stand on it? Pupil earthquake.jpg"
"For your information, this is Victoria amazonica, native to tropical basins in South America, Nymphaeaceae, Victoria genus. The leaves are round or oval, and can bear up to 60KG, so in principle, it is no problem for one person to sit on it.
But the leaf the blogger is stepping on is particularly large. I don’t know which species of Victoria amazonica it is. Let me research it.”
…
In recent days, the big UP 'Qingshuang' with millions of fans has swept the screen with a unique classical dance, and the total number of views on major platforms has reached tens of millions.
In the video, she is wearing a light pink chest-length skirt, a simple green headband tied behind her hair, a tight waist and hanging sleeves.
Because of the angle, there were flowing waves all around her, and she was standing in the center of the rippling lake, floating on the water with no tendency to sink at all.
As the camera moved downward, people discovered that Qingshuang was standing on a huge round leaf, which lifted her up effortlessly. The edges of the leaf were upturned, like a huge lotus base wrapping her up. The emerald green color complemented the pink on her body. The behemoth with a diameter of 3 meters made her look even more petite, like a pink flower bud standing upright among the green leaves.
'Qingshuang' steps on it barefoot and dances to the music. The edge of her sleeves hits the water surface, splashing a string of water droplets, which look like layers of blooming petals as she swings them. Her superb dancing skills make people feel the full charm of dance.
She was spinning in the huge leaves, her skirt fluttering. She moved to another leaf halfway, her lower body was so stable that there was no ups and downs. The bottom of the leaves created layers of ripples as she moved, accompanied by the misty early morning fog, making her look like a lotus fairy.
So fairy-like.
It’s so beautiful.
Many people were still dazed after watching it and went back to the beginning with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
Not only is the choreography beautiful and the makeup outstanding, but more importantly, it blends into the scenery without any sense of incongruity, creating a unique "Dance on the Leaves" that instantly became a hit on self-media platforms.
'Qingshuang' was also very surprised when she saw the ever-increasing number of views. She didn't expect the effect to be so good.
She is an amateur dancer. Initially, she posted videos on the Internet just to record her progress in dancing over the past ten years. Unexpectedly, many people liked her videos and envied her courage to stick to her dream. Gradually, her fans increased.
After that, she had her own dance studio and team, and became a big V with millions of fans. With the support of her team, the videos she released became more perfect.
The title of "Qingshuang's products must be high-quality" came with it, and the number of views of each video is over one million.
But in this increasingly competitive era, it is really difficult to stand out.
Her last viral video was two years ago, a classical dance called "Plum Blossoms in the Snow".
For the shoot, she visited many plum blossom viewing spots and finally chose a niche location, where she shot in a thin Hanfu costume in the snow.
Once, twice, three times... In order to find the best shooting angle and the scene of red plum blossoms blooming and snowflakes falling, Qingshuang was almost frozen unconscious in the end and had a high fever when he returned home.
Hard work pays off, and this carefully polished dance quickly became a hit on the Internet.
After that, many bloggers followed suit, but no one could surpass it, making it a classic at the time.
'Qingshuang' clearly remembers that the video was played more than 5 million times.
I thought that was the pinnacle of her career. Like many internet celebrities and bloggers, she would inevitably go downhill after the peak.
But now, in less than a week, the number of views of "Dancing on the Leaves" has reached nearly 3 million. It is conceivable that the final number of views will definitely surpass the previous ones.
Ye Han, Collection of Flowers.
Qingshuang silently repeated these two names in her heart, feeling grateful but also a little scared.
Fortunately, her newly opened dance studio was in W City, which was a convenient location. So when Ye Han took the initiative to seek cooperation, she reluctantly decided to give it a try.
Otherwise, with so many promotions and messages to respond to every day, she wouldn’t pay any attention.
Today, Qingshuang is extremely glad that she made this decision.
This is the second peak of her career. If she misses it, she will probably regret it for the rest of her life.
While the popularity is high, Qingshuang turned on her computer and uploaded the edited footage.
Sticky:
[The behind-the-scenes footage you requested is here. This time, I not only filmed the dance, but also learned a lot of plant knowledge. @叶涵 here, thank you for your popular science and help. ]
Just a few minutes after the footage was uploaded, it was viewed by thousands of people.
The background of the video is by the lake. In the distance, you can see large green lotus leaves and swaying lotus flowers. In the near distance, you can see the clear lake water and huge round leaves spread on the lake surface.
'Qingshuang' wore Hanfu with her long hair down, without any hairstyle or makeup. She had a different temperament compared to when she was dressed up, more like a gentle and pretty girl next door.
She was standing by the lake, looking across the lake, as if listening to someone's introduction.
Soon, a slightly cold female voice was heard in the video, "Let me give you a simple scientific introduction. The plant floating on the water is called Victoria amazonica. The specific species is Victoria amazonica Cruz. It is native to the Amazon River in South America and was later introduced into China as an ornamental plant.
In the summer when the temperature is suitable, each Victoria amazonica plant will produce 40-50 leaves, with a leaf diameter of more than 2 meters. The leaves we see floating on the water surface are currently 8, and they will be replaced continuously in the future. ”①
…
The sound that reaches my ears is clear and bright, like spring water hitting rocks, neither slow nor fast, with a feeling of being told in a leisurely manner, making it easy for people to listen to it.
Just hearing this sound, many people couldn't help themselves.
[This voice...Sister, kill me! ]
[I like it very much! It has a calm and cool feeling. ]
[From the sound of her voice, she seems to be a very pretty lady. ]
[As we all know, if a person has a good voice, he will look... emmm, does the fact that he was not in the photo prove this point? ]
Qingshuang looked at the thin thickness of the leaves and said with obvious hesitation: "Can people really stand on it?"
“Yes. The leaves of Victoria amazonica are very special. The veins on the back are a complex network structure with great support. At the same time, a large amount of air is trapped in the veins, allowing them to float and bear great weight.
I have done tests and the load-bearing capacity of the blade is over 100KG, and two people can stand on it without any problem.”
There was still only the sound but no sign of the person. Just when the audience's curiosity reached its peak, the camera turned and a girl's figure appeared in the picture.
She is tall, wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, with long slender legs, and her long dark hair is tied up in a high ponytail. The scattered hair is tucked behind her ears, revealing her beautiful facial features.
As soon as Ye Han came out, the number of comments immediately increased, filling the screen with black.
[Wow, I can handle this sister! ]
[One minute, give me all the information about this beautiful sister! Don't make me kneel down and beg you, orz. ]
[What kind of fairy tidbit is this? Oh my god, the picture is so pleasing to the eyes. ]
[Shuangshuang, next time, find a beautiful lady like this to take photos with you. Got it?]
Ye Han walked to the lakeside and half-knelt down with her knees bent. The movement revealed a part of her slender waist, and the barrage of comments immediately filled with a burst of "shashasha".
She pointed to one of the blades and asked the other party to come over and take a look. "There is a layer of soft cloth inside the blade, and a glass plate with a diameter of 3 meters is placed on it. This can prevent damage to the blade and evenly distribute the pressure. There is no need to worry about stability."
The camera zoomed in, and people could see the wooden boards inside and the soft cloth covering them.
It was a thick, large piece, but it was not noticed because of the upturned leaves.
[So that's how it is. I was just wondering if people standing on it would poke the leaves.]
[The diameter is three meters... Damn, it's really big, almost as big as my bathroom. ]
[I still don't believe it, unless I try it (dog head)]
Qingshuang also saw the wooden boards on top, and it seemed that it was indeed feasible.
However, the nearest Victoria amazonica leaf was more than ten meters away from the shore. Ye Han found a boat to take a few people over. As the oars were rowing, the boat stopped less than half a meter away from the leaf.
Ye Han had been spraying nutrient solution on the Victoria amazonica some time ago, going back and forth by boat every day. Now he stepped on the wooden board and stood on the leaf with ease.
Qingshuang put on an orange life jacket, her heart beating faster as she watched the flowing lake water. She finally managed to stand steady by holding onto the railing and took one foot out of the gently shaking boat.
When she stepped on the leaf with one foot, the feeling of being supported by two places made her inevitably a little nervous. Ye Han reached out and pulled her, and she finally reached the destination safely, her fingers still tightly clasped on the other's white forearm.
【Ahhh, two beauties sticking together! 】
[I love the height difference. The blogger is about five or six centimeters shorter than the beautiful sister, which is just right.]
[Sorry, I have already imagined a novel with two female protagonists, a beautiful girl from a small family and a cold princess, hehe. ]
[The boss upstairs, I'll pass you a pen. ]
[I'm laying my cards on the table. Adults don't make choices. I want both Shuangshuang and the beautiful sister! ]
After Qingshuang stood on it, she found that her previous worries were completely unnecessary. The boat-like leaves held her steadily. In addition to being able to feel the buoyancy of the water, she also had good adaptability.
As for the balance issue, people who learn to dance have relatively stable lower bodies, so there shouldn't be any problem.
She stood in the center and tried to dance a few times, her skirt fluttering. A few simple movements were enough to show her strength.
After the experiment, Qingshuang found that the load-bearing capacity of Victoria amazonica leaves was really strong, and the buoyancy fluctuations she felt were very small, indicating that "dancing on leaves" was feasible.
This made her very excited. Several suitable choreography had already emerged in her mind. They were all choreographed by her and her team in her spare time. She only needed to make some changes, and she would be able to create a unique dance.
[Wow, it can really hold up two adults. ]
[Wang Lily? I'll remember this. I must go and see it this summer! ]
[Ordinary Victoria amazonica does not have such a strong bearing capacity. I wonder where the blogger took the photo? Can you share it with me? 】
[Found it! Go check out @叶涵's account, there's a surprise.]
[I'm back, let me tell you the answer directly. The private botanical garden named "Huajianji" in W City officially opened on July 26. ]
…
At the same time, people saw the pinned comment by 'Qingshuang' in the comment section.
# Everyone is asking where the photo was taken, so here’s the answer – the private botanical garden in W City: Huajianji.
Thanks to @叶涵小姐 for providing me with the filming location. The scenery is really beautiful. Friends who are interested can go and have a look~#
