"Where are you going to go for the Spring Festival this year?"
"I'm going to Xingzhou Island with my family."
Although there is no statistical data, such conversations are common across the country. Traveling to Xingzhou Island has become a trend, and being able to grab a ticket to Xingzhou Island is something worth showing off.
In this case, the post office and Xingzhou Island announced that they will officially issue Xingzhou Island postage postcards and special postage maps during the Spring Festival.
This set of special postage maps has a total of 5 pieces, three of which are worth 80 cents, with the pictures of Xingzhou Island, Industrial Park and Sea Cable Car respectively; the remaining two are worth 1 yuan, which are hand-painted versions of Xingzhou Island in different styles.
The first batch of 5,000 sets of this postage stamp map can be purchased at the post office in Youshi. Coincidentally, several months ago, the Youshi Post Office established the Cultural and Creative Industrial Park Branch Office (Industrial Park Branch Office) in the Industrial Park, so tourists don’t have to look for post offices everywhere like headless flies. There is a very conspicuous post office in the cultural exhibition area of the Industrial Park.
In order to prevent tourists from buying up these 5,000 sets of postage stamp maps on the first day, the post office decided to sell them in five days, with only 1,000 sets sold each day. As for those tourists who can’t buy them, they can wait for the next time, or follow the post office’s public account to make an appointment for the second batch. Each account can make an appointment for one set.
Even so, the one thousand sets of postage stamps were quickly sold out every day, so much so that some people suspected that there were so few stamps because the staff of the post office embezzled some of them to give to their relatives and friends.
Post office staff: "..."
They are wronged!
Not only did they not embezzle them, they originally wanted to buy a set for their family and friends when they could no longer sell them. As a result, in this case, even the gods can't help!
The tourists who grabbed the stamps happily posted them online to show off, until someone posted a limited edition postcard with a new stamp and said: "This postcard is finally complete!"
Netizens were jealous.
Someone also left a message on the official blog of the post office: "Are there any limited edition postcards with the island owner's stamp?"
The post office staff was silent again, "You should ask the island owner, the island owner's stamp is with her, this is not something the post office can decide!"
Speaking of this, the post office once thought about cooperating with major scenic spots to issue postcard tickets, but the ticketing system of Xingzhou Island is fundamentally different from that of other scenic spots. Xingzhou Island will not recognize postcard tickets. If tourists buy tickets and find that they can go to other scenic spots but not Xingzhou Island, they will definitely say that they have been cheated, which is very troublesome.
There is not so much trouble in issuing ordinary postage postcards, and Xingzhou Island is also happy to cooperate, but the key is that these postcards are also sold by various outlets after being issued by the post office. Even if the island owner stamps them, they can only be purchased through Xingzhou Island.
Upon learning that the post office did not have this limited edition postcard, many people were disappointed: "It seems that we still have to draw blind boxes."
Some people did not quite understand their obsession with limited edition postcards and asked: "It's just a postcard. Besides having a little commemorative value, it shouldn't make you so crazy, right? Would you rather spend thousands just to get a commemorative postcard?"
"What do you know? In recent years, the production of blind boxes of Xingzhou Island has been increasing, but the number of limited edition postcards has not changed. In other words, our chances of drawing it are getting slimmer and slimmer, so we have to draw one quickly before the probability of winning becomes lower.
"It is rumored that this limited edition postcard can bring good luck to others... Of course, good luck can only last for a period of time, but one good luck is enough to bring me huge benefits, do you understand?"
People who don't understand will still not understand: "It sounds like gambling."
"Gambling will make me bankrupt, but drawing blind boxes won't."
…
Buying blind boxes through legal channels will not bankrupt you, because blind boxes are limited in purchase. In addition to offline stores, the online sales channels for Xingzhoudao's cultural and creative products are only Taobao, the official website and mini-programs. A mobile phone account can only buy ten blind boxes in a month, which makes many people mobilize their friends to help buy them. As a result, more and more people have become interested in blind box production, and sales have remained high.
If postage postcards are also limited in edition, the speed at which the post office issues them will definitely not be faster than the speed at which they sell out.
Postage Postcards and the topic of the operation of the Xingzhou Island section of the cable car have become one of the hot topics on Xingzhou Island during the Spring Festival. There are eight tags related to Xingzhou Island in the hot searches, and netizens have become accustomed to this.
If other scenic spots were on the hot searches every day, they would definitely criticize the scenic spot for buying the hot searches, but who made this scenic spot Xingzhou Island?
Yes, they are so hypocritical.
At this time, a blogger posted a screenshot in a low-key manner and quietly asked: "Actually, have you never paid attention to the official announcement of the Oil City Government? Xingzhou Island's investment of 4.55 billion yuan to build an underwater tourist tunnel is the hot topic that should be on the hot searches, right? "
Netizen: "..."
They have lived for decades and have never opened the official website of their city government. How could they pay attention to the official website of the Oil City government?
But it is not too late to pay attention to it now.
They found the announcement based on the screenshot of the blogger, downloaded the attachment, and after clicking it, a detailed and complete underwater tourist tunnel planning scheme appeared in front of them.
"Fuck, it's true. The tunnel is 9,663 meters long, which is equivalent to connecting Xingzhou Island and the Industrial Park. The first phase has begun construction..."
"Look at the renderings. This tunnel is made of the same materials as the underwater hotel and the marine ecological corridor. It's exciting!"
"I'm already looking forward to the day when I can ride the tunnel train."
"From the underwater hotel to the marine ecological corridor, to the offshore cable car, and finally the underwater tourist tunnel, the island owner is really daring! And the key is that he is really daring. He has done so many things that so many islands and coastal attractions have failed to do. I declare that the island owner will be the fairy godmother who can realize my dream in the future!"
"Wuwuwu, I am more and more curious about what the island owner looks like and what her origins are. I hope I can see her true face in my lifetime, then I will die without regrets."
The island owner's children and fans came out again: "Bah, how can you mortals covet my mother's true face?"
Someone was bored and chatted privately with the island owner: "If the island owner has the chance, can he build a dragon palace? "
She had not expected the island owner to reply to her, but he did, and sent a pensive emoticon with a meaningful tone: "Dragon Palace, I want it too..."
She was so excited that she almost dropped the phone: "Oh, island owner!"
The island owner asked her again: "What do you think the Dragon Palace should look like?"
This question stumped her. Her imagination of the Dragon Palace came from various movies, TV dramas and games. Her earliest impression was the East China Sea Dragon Palace in "Journey to the West". However, with today's perspective, you can tell at a glance that those scenes are fake. If they were really built, it is estimated that few people would be willing to check in.
The more exquisite pictures are the original paintings of the game, but the style is mostly a magnificent palace placed on the seabed, which feels like the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City was dug into the sea, without any marine characteristics.
What should the Dragon Palace in line with the style of the current era look like?
She hadn't thought about it, so she didn't answer for a long time, and the island owner didn't say anything.
On the other side, the little mermaid asked: "Is the island owner going to build a dragon palace?"
Li Yaolin asked: "Do you think I have the money to build it?"
The little mermaid: "..."
It said: "Then why are you asking others so seriously?"
"I don't have money to build, but I can dream, and dreaming doesn't require money." Li Yaolin said casually, "Besides, I'm still waiting for the sea god to give me a dragon palace!"
The little mermaid twitched her mouth: "Dreaming does not require money, I suggest the island owner to dream more."
Li Yaolin asked: "Why hasn't the system issued any tasks recently? What if a dragon palace is randomly awarded? Then I can save the money to build a dragon palace, how beautiful!"
The last task was to receive more than 500,000 domestic and foreign tourists within a year, including more than 30,000 overseas tourists. The time is still 2022, and now it is 2024. The system did not issue any tasks for the whole year of last year!
Li Yaolin guessed: "Could it be that the system's default tasks are not difficult for me at this stage, so they simply don't issue tasks?"
The little mermaid said: "Why can't the system see that the island owner is so proactive in developing the island that there is no need for task guidance or temptation with benefits?"
Li Yaolin: "..."
Although it is a bit absurd, it does not seem to be unreasonable. You know, if it wasn't for the one million, she probably wouldn't have appeared in the oil market. Later, if the reward of the task hadn't helped her out in time when the funds were about to run out, she wouldn't have been able to get to where she is now.
Of course, if she can get to where she is today, it's not entirely due to the system. After all, most of the business directions and development projects were decided by her.
The purpose of the system is "to give Poseidon a satisfying and happy vacation", while her purpose is to make money. Poseidon's satisfaction is getting higher and higher, and her assets are getting more and more - the cash is getting less and less, but the value of real estate is enough to make her one of the billionaires.
Her relationship with the system is like... At the beginning, she was pulled onto the small boat of Xingzhou Island by chance. She could neither row the boat nor steer the rudder, and could only be pushed forward by the wind and waves. Gradually, she learned to row the boat and could move forward without wind and waves, and the wind and waves lost their effect.
But she is still very curious, why her?
As long as there is a system plug-in, many people can succeed, right?
The little mermaid said, "Maybe the island owner is lucky, after all, the island owner won the island in a lottery."
Li Yaolin: "..."
You can at least say something like I have some excellent qualities that the sea god chose, or I am a descendant of the sea god... something like that to comfort me.
"It may also be that the island owner's unscrupulous business temperament is too prominent."
Li Yaolin: "Compared to most capitalists, I have a conscience, right?"
"I have a conscience, but not much."
The mermaids joked with each other, and no one mentioned the mission again.
...
After the New Year, the employees of various departments of Xingzhou Island began to take turns to take vacations.
Lin Qitong still had to go home, and Zheng Xuan's parents came here to celebrate the New Year with her and help her keep an eye on the decoration of her new house.
Zheng Xuan bought a house near the road from Baoren Port to Liantou Port. The average price of real estate here was NT$5,000 per square meter. Due to the popularity of Xingzhou Island and the gradual improvement of surrounding infrastructure, the price has soared to NT$7,000 per square meter. When she bought it, it was NT$6,200 per square meter, so she didn't lose much.
The developers who had obtained the land in the early stage but did not start construction on the grounds of lack of funds seemed to have solved the problem of lack of funds overnight and started construction one after another.
The share price of Mandarin Oriental Group has also been soaring, because its project is planned to be next to the Cultural and Creative Industrial Park. Not only a five-star hotel is under construction, but also real estate. After all, their positioning is to create a town of health care + tourism, so there are communities, hospitals, nursing homes and schools on that land.
With the popular attraction of Xingzhou Island, everyone is very optimistic about these projects, and the share price naturally rises.
After Zheng Xuan's house was renovated, Lin Qitong dragged Li Yaolin to visit it. She said excitedly: "This decoration is so cozy, I also want to buy one."
"The houses in this community are basically sold out. There are still some in the neighboring communities, but after Xingzhou Island is going to develop Pilot Island and Mingdeng Island, the price has reached 8,000 per square meter."
"Forget it then." Lin Qitong remembered that she had discussed this with Li Yaolin at the beginning, and asked again: "Sanniang, you are not really planning to live in the employee dormitory for the rest of your life, are you?"
Li Yaolin smiled, and Zheng Xuan said: "Sanniang doesn't have to buy it, Mandarin Group directly gave her a villa..."
Lin Qitong: "???"
"Why did Mandarin Oriental Group give you a villa?"
Li Yaolin said, "It's to sell the house at a high price, just like the real estate developers giving houses to Olympic champions. But the villa is not built yet, it's too early to say these things."
The target customers of the villa are high-income wealthy groups. When they buy a house, in addition to looking at the surrounding supporting facilities, they care more about the status of the villa area. They will consider what kind of social benefits buying a house here can bring them and what resources can be exchanged.
Therefore, as long as the news is released that the owner of the island lives here, all the villas here will definitely be snapped up. As for whether Li Yaolin will move there, it doesn't matter at all.
Lin Qitong: "..."
Her mood at this moment, how can you describe it as envy and jealousy!
In order to take care of the feelings of the only sister who did not own a house, Zheng Xuan changed the topic: "The second part of "The Mermaid Love Song" has also been scheduled for promotion and is expected to be broadcast in April, so we can start to warm up the peripheral products we have previously ordered."
She took out three mermaid figures, one of which was a joint model of the film and television series, the Mermaid Square sculpture model, and the Q version, and said: "Take a look and see if you have any other ideas to add."
Li Yaolin took it and looked at it carefully, weighed it again, and said: "The quality is quite good."
Then she took out the Sea God's Blessing Seal (Island Owner Model) and stamped a seal on the bottom of the base of the Mermaid Square sculpture version, saying: "This is put up for auction online."
The materials and prices of different models of figures are also different. Among the three models, the Mermaid Square sculpture model has the best material and the smallest quantity, so it is the most expensive. The cultural and creative department plans to set the price at 880 yuan per piece, and this price will inevitably discourage most tourists who are not keen on this.
Li Yaolin's trick is to hype up this model so that people other than tourists can also be interested in buying it... At least sell out the 5,000 pieces produced this time.
Zheng Xuan asked in surprise: "Auction? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at like a certain website that sold it for 9.8 billion yuan?"
"Set the auction threshold higher."
Zheng Xuan said: "Okay!"
Li Yaolin thought that with the blessing of the "Sea God's Blessing Chapter", the highest price of this hand-made figure would be only a few thousand yuan, but he didn't expect that after a fierce bidding, the price was finally set at 186,000 yuan.
