As we all know, false advertising is a very bad thing that damages one's reputation.
The situation is even more serious, especially in Europe and the United States.
In China, Pinduoduo's "cut-the-price" deals and live-streaming sales are still very popular.
They are attracted by the merchants' tricks, and even if they end up with nothing, they will just laugh it off.
But overseas customers are different; they have zero tolerance for such false advertising.
If Pinduoduo dared to advertise "cut one price" overseas, customers would definitely sue them after discovering that there were still countless "cuts" after the initial discount.
They will not give up until they bankrupt Pinduoduo.
Foreign media have seized on this characteristic, so they have been recklessly promoting Harbin's super aircraft carrier, hoping to fascinate netizens.
The more they expect things now, the more humiliating the Harbin cultural tourism industry will become in the end, and the more serious the negative impact will be.
As expected, the sudden appearance of the super aircraft carrier immediately attracted public attention and sparked heated discussions.
"Oh my god!!! The ice sculpting skills of the Dragon Kingdom are amazing! They've even built an ice aircraft carrier. If I can't visit an aircraft carrier in this lifetime, then I'll visit an ice aircraft carrier."
"Damn it! It's just an ice aircraft carrier, what's the big deal? We in the Western Eight Kingdoms are already preparing for the Ice and Snow Festival, and there will be many ice sculptures on display. Everyone is welcome to come and see the ice sculptures in the Western Eight Kingdoms."
"China's aircraft carrier manufacturing technology is already superb. This one-to-one replica of the ice carrier is just like the real thing. It immediately reminded me of the aircraft carrier that China gave to Pakistan. May the friendship between China and Pakistan last forever. I'm going to China now to see the ice carrier."
"Hurrah! What a coincidence! I just arrived in Ice City of the Dragon Kingdom. Can someone give me the exact address? I can't wait to take a picture with the super ice aircraft carrier."
"Holy crap!!! Harbin, you're really hot now, you've gone straight to the top of the international trending topics list. But what's with this Harbin aircraft carrier? You have such a great thing and you kept it a secret from us Southern potatoes, instead promoting it on the international internet."
With the sudden surge in popularity of the super ice carrier, netizens around the world have been awestruck by this image.
Countless netizens expressed their intention to travel to Harbin to see this massive aircraft carrier ice sculpture.
From beginning to end, no one doubted Ice City's capabilities.
After all, Harbin's antics and ways of pampering tourists are absolutely world-class, bringing countless surprises to everyone.
Naturally, the public also has great trust in Harbin.
Meanwhile, the official phone line of the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau has been overwhelmed with calls, and the operators are on the verge of a mental breakdown.
For the first two hours, the phone rang non-stop, and all the calls were from people asking about the location of the supercarrier.
They explained countless times that it was an AI-generated photo, and only after much persuasion did they finally hang up the phone.
But the next second, another call came in, with the same question.
Faced with such a heavy workload, the operators were already slumped in their chairs, their throats hoarse.
"No! I have to personally report this to the publicity office and have them issue a clarification immediately. Otherwise, these phone calls will never end, and we won't be able to hear any real feedback from the tourists."
The operator, Xiao Su, sounded incredibly hoarse and somewhat dizzy.
Even so, she still stood up unsteadily and walked towards the publicity office.
When Xiao Su arrived at the publicity office, she immediately spotted Qin Zi'an in the crowd.
She ran to Qin Zi'an's side in a few quick steps, and greeted him with a smile: "Ice Carrier, what brings you to the bureau today?"
Xiao Su greeted Qin Zi'an with a beaming smile, all her fatigue vanished.
After all, Qin Zi'an is the number one influential figure in the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau, a globally renowned publicity expert.
Normally, Qin Zi'an is away on official business and is rarely seen at the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau.
That's why Xiao Su greeted Qin Zi'an so excitedly, her face full of a lovesick smile.
However, she was completely unaware that she had said the wrong thing.
Qin Zian looked at the young girl in front of him, and couldn't help but look behind him...
There's no ice-based aircraft carrier here!
Qin Zian looked around and realized that he was someone who rarely appeared at the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau.
"What ice carrier?" Qin Zian raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "Is this a nickname you guys gave me behind my back?"
As soon as Qin Zian finished speaking, the propaganda staff waved their hands repeatedly.
They were too busy praising Qin Zi'an to give him such a nickname in private.
However, this ice-cold aircraft carrier...
That sounds pretty high-end.
At the same time, Xiao Su realized that she had just misspoke, and her face turned red instantly.
"No... it's not the Ice Aircraft Carrier, it's Director Qin. Oh dear! No... Director Qin, I'm sorry, I misspoke just now."
"I came to the publicity office to tell you that a picture that is spreading rumors has appeared online. Our operators are already overwhelmed with debunking the rumors, and we hope that your publicity office can use its official account to refute them."
"It's this picture of the ice-cold aircraft carrier. It's said that it first circulated on the internet, and we just received several calls from foreign friends. Anyway, it's caused quite a stir, and we hope you can refute it as soon as possible."
After a series of incoherent explanations, Xiao Su finally managed to make the whole story clear.
When everyone saw the photo of the ice carrier on Xiao Su's phone, they were all stunned.
If they didn't know exactly what tourist attractions were in Ice City, they might have really thought that Ice City actually had an Ice City aircraft carrier.
"Wow! The AI synthesis technology is getting more and more advanced. This ice aircraft carrier looks just like the real thing. No wonder so many calls are coming in asking for the address. Anyone would be confused in this situation."
"I suddenly had an inspiration! Next year, the ice sculptures at the Ice and Snow World should be done like this! We should dedicate a special area to showcasing our national defense achievements. It will definitely be well received."
"Didn't you hear the young girl say that the picture came from an external website? This matter... could very well be something that foreign forces are plotting. We should refute the rumors as soon as possible."
The publicity staff spoke all at once, determined to refute the rumors as soon as possible.
After all, no matter how beautiful this ice-cold aircraft carrier is, it's still fake.
What's more, this wasn't just a prank by Chinese netizens; it came from overseas.
If not handled carefully, Harbin's international influence could be severely impacted.
Just as everyone was discussing the wording of the denial statement, Qin Zian, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up.
"No need to refute the rumors."
