The central street of the resort.
A restaurant with exquisite decoration was surrounded by a crowd of people. At a glance, it was full of heads.
If someone passes by at this time, they will definitely think that this restaurant is extremely popular. But after careful observation, they will find that the line is actually formed in an extremely inconspicuous narrow alley next to the restaurant.
Zheng Baiqing stood at the front desk and looked outside. She saw the dense crowds of people outside, which formed a sharp contrast with the few scattered tables of guests in her restaurant.
She clenched her back teeth in disbelief.
It's already past half past twelve, almost one o'clock.
The length of the line outside not only showed no signs of shrinking, but was getting longer and longer, and more and more people rushed over after hearing the news.
The line is almost inside their restaurant.
Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in Zheng Baiqing's eyes, and I don't know what she thought of.
After a little thought, she walked towards the door, pretending to be concerned and chatting with the tourists queuing at the door:
"Yeah, there are still so many people here. I guess the line will be very long."
One of the tourists turned around and said, "Yeah, that's right. It's because I came late. I guess it will take at least another 10 to 20 minutes, maybe even longer."
The tourist himself also looked towards the front of the line, frowned slightly, and looked a little distressed, troubled by the length of the line.
Zheng Baiqing was very caring: "It's been so long. It must be tiring to just stand here. The temperature is quite high today."
The tourist complained helplessly: "Oh, who said it wasn't?" As he said this, he fanned himself with his hands.
Zheng Baiqing immediately walked back to the restaurant. When she came out, she was holding a kettle in her hand. She poured a glass of ice water into a disposable cup for the tourist and handed it to him.
The tourists in the queue were thirsty, and four or five of them thanked the customer after receiving the drinks.
Seeing this, Zheng Baiqing's smile widened and she suddenly felt there was hope.
"I feel that with so many people queuing, it's possible that they won't even be able to get a seat in the end. Wouldn't that be a waste of effort?"
"Everyone comes to the resort to have fun and relax. There's really no need to do this. You can try another restaurant first and come back in a couple of days. Maybe you won't have to queue then."
Zheng Baiqing's words had hidden meaning. She had just learned from the barrage that Group A was now selling some kind of rice balls. She thought that Group A must have used some marketing tricks to have so many people lining up. Isn't that the case with that little cake?
It is purely taking advantage of the public's desire to join in the fun. This kind of "Internet celebrity thing" will not last long. Its true colors will be revealed within two days.
There was no time to wait for the tourists to speak.
Zheng Baiqing enthusiastically introduced the contents of her group's menu for today: "You can take a look."
"All of them——"
As a result, the sentence was interrupted before it was finished. The disposable cup was thrown into the trash can. The tourist politely declined: "Thank you, I won't use it for now. I think we should continue to queue up."
Another tourist also nodded and added one.
"If I don't queue up today, I won't be able to buy these rice balls. I have to queue up, otherwise my girlfriend will kill me when I get back."
Zheng Baiqing was stunned. What did he mean by "If you don't line up today, you won't be able to buy rice balls?" After drinking the ice water, the tourist kindly explained, "This rice ball will only be sold today. Once it's sold out, we won't make it anymore."
Zheng Baiqing: “?” What? ?
After saying this, several tourists turned their heads away and ignored Zheng Baiqing. They would rather wait in line and wait for a long time than step into their restaurant.
Zheng Baiqing's attempt to poach customers failed.
at the same time.
Zheng Baiqing is not the only one who is troubled by the low number of customers in the restaurant.
There are also guests from Group C, Lin Xue and Zhang Yang.
But the difference is that Zheng Baiqing's restaurant is because the tourists all ran to the alley next door to queue up, while Lin Xue and Zhang Yang's restaurant is not on the main street.
The business of their Group C restaurant was taken away by the restaurant and bar next door to the next door to the next door.
The reason is simple, because the restaurant and bar has small cakes sponsored by Group A. All customers who come in to consume, no matter how much, can get a small cake for free, until they are all gone, on a first-come, first-served basis.
Although there wasn't an exaggerated queue in front of the restaurant and bar that looked endless, the seats inside were basically full, and the benches waiting at the door were filled with people.
The owner of the restaurant and bar next door was so jealous that he hated himself for hesitating when he saw the small cake investment post.
Without hesitation, the phrase "crowded with customers" is used to describe my store! I really regret it! Unfortunately, it's too late to regret it. -After the small cake.
Another "single product" - colorful rice balls, has become popular on the Lucky Resort Guide APP.
But half a day.
The square is already full of topics related to rice balls. Tourists who use travel guide apps used to show off that they received small cakes, but now they are proud of waiting in long lines to finally buy colorful rice balls.
After buying the rice balls, I didn’t rush to eat them. I took out my phone to take n photos and posted n updates in the square, for fear that others would not know that I bought the rice balls.
The key is that rice balls are limited edition, and the word "limited edition" itself makes people want to buy them.
Who would have thought that the shabby restaurant in the alley that everyone avoided and despised in the past would be so crowded that no one could get in or out.
The resort even sent a security team to clear the area to prevent a stampede. -The program team monitors the backstage.
The director felt that the premonition of losing control was becoming stronger and stronger. From beginning to end, he really had no idea what Group A's next move would be. In short, every step was unexpected, and every step led to a drastic change in the situation.
How could this be possible? He is the director, the control must be in his hands, and he has to know everything first.
so.
Without a second thought, the director picked up his phone and called the PD of Group A. The phone rang for a long time and it seemed that the other end was very busy. It was indeed very busy. The team was almost arranging to shoot in Narnia, how could it not be busy.
Once connected.
A noisy sound came out.
The director asked several times before the accompanying PD could hear clearly: "Hey, Director, what's going on?"
The director on the phone said, "Go to a corner where no one is."
PD: “Ah?”
"speed."
The director acted mysterious, as if he was going to do something big.
In the monitoring room, seven or eight staff members immediately looked up curiously, pricked up their ears, and prepared to eavesdrop.
Just when they thought the director was going to make some earth-shattering, watertight arrangements—
