"I suggest extending the duration of the Northeast soybean paste tasting event."
Upon hearing Qin Zian's words, Wang Jianye's pupils dilated instantly, his face filled with disbelief.
Wang Jianye has always felt that Qin Zian is the savior of the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau, and that he can provide the bureau with many excellent ideas.
But when he heard that Qin Zi'an was planning to extend the Northeast Soybean Paste Tasting Event...
Inevitably, Wang Jianye also thought that Qin Zian had lost his mind.
Otherwise, such a thought would never have occurred.
It was because of this Northeast soybean paste tasting event that tens of thousands of tourists were stranded in Harbin.
If it weren't for the timely response of the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau, which properly accommodated all the tourists...
At this moment, the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau has likely become the target of public criticism.
Even so, some negative voices are still circulating online, with some feeling that the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau should not have held this Northeast Soybean Paste Tasting Conference.
At this critical moment, Qin Zi'an surprisingly proposed extending the Northeast Soybean Paste Tasting Conference...
Wang Jianye shook his head instinctively, refusing outright.
"Zian, stop thinking about that Northeast soybean paste tasting event. Our main concern right now is to restore Harbin's image and cooperate with relevant departments to properly handle the flood situation."
Qin Zian nodded, and said dismissively, "I know."
Seeing Qin Zian's incredible sense of relaxation, Wang Jianye was truly impressed.
But Qin Zian was a major contributor to the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau, so Wang Jianye didn't dare to speak harshly to him.
Therefore, Wang Jianye slowly walked up to him and said softly, "Zian, since you know about this, then think about how to handle this matter."
"I already said, the Northeast Soybean Paste Tasting Event will be extended."
Wang Jianye was utterly speechless when he saw that Qin Zi'an was unwilling to give up his worthless Northeast soybean paste tasting event.
He's currently in a dilemma, unable to get angry.
No matter how much Wang Jianye reacted, Qin Zian remained calm and composed, completely unaffected by anything.
Qin Zi'an's proposal to 'extend the Northeast Soybean Paste Tasting Conference' was not just a casual remark.
He also knew that some voices had been making noises at night, mocking the tourists for being stuck in the ice city because of cheap Northeast soybean paste.
Natural disasters are unpredictable, but many things can be mitigated through human effort.
If the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau doesn't continue to promote Northeast soybean paste, this traditional Northeastern delicacy will be stigmatized.
When audiences think of Northeastern soybean paste again, they'll think of the flooded ice city...
In order to prevent such a thing from happening again, Qin Zian decided to solve the problem at its source.
The duration of the Northeast Soybean Paste Tasting Event has been extended to provide visitors with a unique experience.
Currently, the floodwaters in Harbin have not yet receded, and residents are in a state of near impassable conditions.
Such a scene is something that even the locals of Harbin have never experienced, let alone tourists.
If the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau could take tourists to experience a unique Northeast soybean paste tasting event at this time, it would definitely become the most outstanding event in the country and even the world.
Therefore, Qin Zian ignored Wang Jianye's half-dead appearance and directly expressed his thoughts.
"Old Wang, don't be in such a hurry! My desire to extend the Northeast Soybean Paste Tasting Event is not out of despair, but rather to bring new vitality to the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau."
"Think about it, because of this heavy rain, everyone is stuck at home and in hotels. But if at this time, our Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau sends out boats to pick up tourists to participate in the Northeast Soybean Paste Tasting Event, wouldn't that feel amazing?"
Upon hearing Qin Zian's words, Wang Jianye's tightly furrowed brows relaxed.
This unconventional approach is indeed interesting, but it's not an easy task to implement.
The rain has stopped in Harbin, and the floodwater will drain away soon.
Another issue is the boats. Harbin is not a city for water sports at all, and even its dragon boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival are among the worst.
With no ships and no people, how can this plan be carried out?
Upon hearing Qin Zian's words, Wang Jianye frowned again. He knew that although the idea was novel, it would be fraught with difficulties in practice.
He pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Zi'an, your idea is very creative, but in practice, we do face many difficulties."
"First, how do we solve the boat problem? Harbin is not a popular city for water activities, and we don't have enough boats to carry so many tourists."
"Secondly, we also need to consider the rowers. Most of us Northeasterners are not good at water sports. What should we do? The idea is good, but we also need to think about how effective it will be."
Unlike Wang Jianye's worried expression, Qin Zian simply smiled and did not consider these problems as difficulties at all.
Although Harbin was hit by three days of heavy rain, tourists were forced to stay in the city.
In reality, the damage to Harbin was not severe; the only issue was that the floodwaters had not yet been drained.
Under such circumstances, the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau could easily allocate a batch of kayaks to pick up the tourists and bring them to the bureau.
Thinking of this, Qin Zian spoke out what was on his mind.
“Old Wang, I’ve already considered these issues. This flood didn’t cause any disaster, and there are still many kayaks piled up in the warehouse. We can definitely use them.”
"As for the people rowing the boats, it's true that we Northeasterners aren't good at water sports, but don't forget that many of the tourists stranded in Harbin are from the South. Many of them should be familiar with water sports and are perfectly capable of rowing. This will not only solve our manpower shortage problem, but also demonstrate the harmonious relationship between the people of Harbin and the tourists."
“Most importantly, I’ve already contacted the meteorological bureau, and there won’t be any more heavy rain in the next few days, so there’s absolutely no chance of being stranded again. However…” Qin Zi’an paused, then said with a hint of worry, “At the latest, the floodwaters in Bingcheng will recede the day after tomorrow. If we don’t hold the event in time, we won’t be able to handle this overwhelming wealth.”
