Chapter 998 Aren’t You Afraid I’ll Run Away with the Passbook (Part 4)



When Zhou's mother heard that this person was from the TV station, she warmly entertained her, which made Jin Xiaoling feel a little embarrassed. "Auntie! Don't be so busy. Don't be so polite. Just be casual."

"Okay, okay! I'll go make some tea."

After making tea, Zhou's mother went upstairs to help Zhonglan take care of the children. Zhu Hang was helping her eldest daughter, who had returned to school healthy and well.

Jin Xiaoling wanted to look at the two paintings first, so Zhou Xiang opened them and said, "I haven't seen them either!"

When the two opened one of the paintings, they were stunned, as if a dirty river was right in front of them.

After his elder brother recovered, Zhou Xiang saw his landscape paintings for the first time. They were more spiritual than before. A elder brother like him should not be trapped by the daily necessities of life.

Jin Xiaoling was shocked. She had always been confident in her photography skills. In comparison, she was nothing. She should make some careful plans before leaving.

Zhou Xiang was the first to come back to his senses. "Sister Jin, remember to get someone to film it! My eldest brother put a lot of effort into this promotional video for me. This is his first time doing anything for me!"

"good!"

Opening another painting, it is a distant view of the river. Not only is the river dirty and messy, but other scenery in the painting is also in tatters.

"Okay, okay, I'll ask the photographer to take a picture from this angle. The sharp contrast makes people want to see it for themselves."

Zhou Xiang thought about the current ticket price and decided to raise the price. "Sister Jin, can you do me another favor?"

"you say."

"I want to make some cards similar to supermarket membership cards, which can be used as annual park passes. In order to distinguish the months of sale, it would be best to make them in twelve colors, with 100 cards of each color.

The colors of each season should be similar, for example, spring is all green, summer is all blue, autumn is all orange, and winter is white.

The numbers are raised, and the last digits of these 1,200 cards are from 0001 to 1200, but the numbers of each color begin with the same English letter.

For example, if light green is set as the letter A, the 100 light green pictures should be A0001 to A0100, and the next 100 pictures should be B0101 to B200.

Zhou Xiang was talking and drawing at the same time, and Jin Xiaoling must have understood. "I understand. Give me your sketch as well. By the way, what do you want printed on the card?"

"Yuhu Park, Xuzhen, on the front, and printed on the back: No loss report, no replacement if lost, please keep it properly."

Jin Xiaoling picked up a pen and started writing on the sketch, marking all the unmarked parts.

"As soon as I get back, I'll ask the advertising company to rush out the annual pass."

"Yes! Thank you for your help."

Jin Xiaoling smiled, "It's no trouble. I've gained a lot from you."

Ling Ran brought the person back directly. His wife was not in the front yard, so she must have gone home.

There were many townspeople following behind, looking curious. Zhou Xiang was about to make tea for everyone, but Jin Xiaoling stood up and said, "No need to greet them. Let's finish the filming soon and put it on the air soon."

After taking pictures of the two paintings, I took a few more pictures based on the angles of the two paintings, and then I was done.

Zhou Xiang handed a passbook to Jin Xiaoling and said, "Sister Jin, I'm very busy and don't have time to look at samples or contact the TV station's advertising department. I'm leaving all this up to you. Just let me know when the show starts airing."

Jin Xiaoling took the passbook and immediately closed it after seeing the number on it. "Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with the passbook?"

Zhou Xiang shook his head. "You're not that kind of person. Otherwise, you wouldn't push yourself to this point. If it's not enough, I'll send someone to deliver it to you. I really don't know how much you need."

Jin Xiaoling nodded. 500,000 yuan, the production cost plus one month's prime time, is enough. The production cost of the annual pass card is a small amount of money.

"Okay, if it's not enough, I'll call you, give me the number." She then added that she couldn't let her colleagues know the amount, otherwise they would think that the rest was their kickbacks.

Zhou Xiang handed Ling Ran the business card that she had specially made for him. She had finally given one out herself.

Jin Xiaoling took it with both hands and handed Zhou Xiang one of her business cards. "Wait for my call."

Jin Xiaoling left with her colleagues, leaving behind an excited crowd, especially Xie Lin, who was interviewed and would definitely be seen in the news.

Zhou wanted to ask him why he didn’t feel bad about the advertising fees?

Xie Lin clutched his chest and said, "My heart still hurts, but it doesn't matter what I'm excited about. Humph! I wonder how many years it will take for your park to pay off."

"Once the promotional video is broadcast, the ticket price will increase. People living in the market town can apply for an annual ticket."

"How is it increasing? What is an annual pass?"

"The ticket price is one yuan, and those under 18 years old are half price. The annual pass is a one-time purchase for a year, and there's no limit on how many times you can use it. You can come as many times as you want in a day."

The remaining crowd pricked up their ears and listened.

Xie Lin felt distressed again when he heard this, "How much is the annual ticket?"

"The annual pass is calculated based on the current price. For 365 days, it's 109.5. Because the park is closed for a few days during the Chinese New Year, let's round it up to 100! If you don't want to buy an annual pass, everyone in the town can get it at half price, 50 cents."

Xie Lin frowned, "Can we not sell annual passes to those who go fishing?"

"Uncle, it's not okay to treat people differently."

The crowd ran away quickly. They wanted to tell those fishing enthusiasts that the annual ticket was the most cost-effective. It cost less than 30 cents a day and allowed entry and exit as many times as possible.

What Zhou wanted was to stop these people from talking. She didn't care about her cousin's nagging. The annual ticket was to stimulate consumption. If she couldn't explain it clearly to her cousin, it would be better to make him unhappy. Only those who love to play would feel that they were getting a great deal.

"Uncle, the onlookers have all left, why don't you go to the front yard? Those fishing enthusiasts must buy annual passes. Tell the ticket seller to wait a few days, as the annual passes still need to be made."

Xie Ling hurried to the front yard to inform them.

Ling Ran was a little worried, "How do I read the card?"

"The cards will be sold at a unified time, with 12 colors, each representing a month. They will only be sold on a fixed day each month, and the day will be determined based on when the cards are made."

Ling Ran nodded. This was the only way to control it now. If he used colors to distinguish them, he would be able to see from a distance whether his card had expired or not.

Sure enough, not long after Xie Lin went to the front yard, many people came to inquire about the annual ticket.

Xie Lin waved his hand and said, "The annual passes are still being produced. I'll let you know when they're ready in a few days."

Although these people were a little disappointed, they became happy again when they knew that there were indeed tickets available before the New Year.

They were happy, but Xie Lin was not. What a spendthrift! The ticket price had increased, but it was for out-of-towners. Those who came from the town these days not only didn't get the price increase, they even got a discount.

On the morning of the 20th, Zhang Jing and his wife came and brought half a bag of sweet potatoes.

"Have you eaten?" Zhou's mother took the sweet potato and asked.

"I've eaten here. Aunt Zhou, you can eat first!"

Zhou wanted to swallow the food in his mouth. "You can go directly to the back warehouse of the supply and marketing cooperative to find Master Ma Gua. He is the foreman. I have already told him."

"Okay, let's go now."

Mother Zhou walked him to the gate of the courtyard and came back, "Don't you want to go with me?"
