Chapter 350: Stop pretending, go big!
Seeing the scope of the new map, Lin Jiang paused.
Before, it was all in Ning'an District, but now the map range has been expanded directly to Zhonghai. So in the future, there will be more opponents, and they will be more diverse.
Now it's interesting.
"Mr. Lin, do you need to buy a ticket to come here? Can you just mention your name?" Xu Lin said with a smile.
Lin Jiang shrugged, "It seems that it is not possible now. I haven't connected with the business yet."
"Then you have to buy tickets first." Xu Lin looked at him with a smile, "Sister, I'll treat you."
As she spoke, Xu Lin opened the car door and got out, combing her hair, looking like a real young woman.
Lin Jiang also unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.
There were more people gathered at the door than he had imagined.
As the weather gradually gets warmer, and because of the winter vacation, many parents have brought their children here. There are still people queuing at the ticket office at the entrance, but there are not many people in the queue.
Xu Lin took her cell phone and prepared to buy a ticket. Lin Jiang didn't follow her and just waited by the side.
"Hurry, hurry, come back soon, don't buy it at the ticket office, it's cheaper online."
Just when Xu Lin went to buy the ticket, she suddenly saw a girl with a ponytail speaking to the boys in line.
Judging from the way they are dressed, they should be a couple.
"Did you find the coupon?" the boy asked.
"No, the internet says that salted fish is cheaper. I checked and it's more than 200 yuan cheaper."
"Is it true? It's so much cheaper."
Hearing what the two said, Lin Jiang and Xu Lin both looked over.
"Really? A lot of people are selling it. Come back soon."
At the girl's invitation, the boy came to her side and they both looked at their phones side by side.
"Holy crap! Look at this, the two tickets together are almost 300 cheaper. How can this be reliable?"
"I just asked, if it doesn't work you can apply for a refund, and if you look at the reviews, a lot of people have bought it and exchanged their tickets."
"Then give it a try. Anyway, these platforms are biased towards our users. If they are cheating, just report them and get a refund."
With the boy's support, the girl placed an order on Xianyu.
"The code has been sent. Go and try it."
"Uh-huh."
The girl took her mobile phone, went to the self-service ticket machine, scanned the QR code on it, and soon the machine spit out two wristbands.
"Look, it's done."
The girl held the ticket and showed off for a long time.
"I saved nearly 300 yuan. I'm so proud of myself. It's enough for us to have a good meal."
"Haha, awesome!"
The two of them took the tickets and walked happily to the door, swiping their tickets through the turnstile.
Lin Jiang and Xu Lin stood nearby and watched the whole process.
"Are you still going to buy a ticket?" asked the person in the ticket office.
“I’m not going to buy it yet.”
Since there weren’t many people, Xu Lin wasn’t in a hurry and stepped back from the ticket window.
"Is this a promotion? Given Happy Valley's level, they shouldn't be doing such a big promotion, right?"
"It's not a promotion, there must be something fishy going on."
Lin Jiang looked at Xu Lin and said:
“Do you have any salted fish on your phone?”
"Have."
Xu Lin knew why Lin Jiang asked this, so she opened Xianyu and searched for tickets for China Overseas Happy Valley.
"There are quite a few people selling tickets. They are indeed quite cheap. Could it be that someone on the inside is selling the tickets and then making a profit from the difference?"
"That's pretty much it."
"I'll check other playgrounds."
Afterwards, Xu Lin took out his mobile phone and searched for other large amusement parks.
"There is also an Ocean Kingdom like this. Other places are better. The discount is at most a dozen yuan. It should be formal."
"I think there are some problems with internal management. Let's keep them for a few days until we complete the handover."
"Then I'll go buy the tickets and we can go in and take a look around."
Xu Lin did not buy the cheap ticket. Instead, she went to the ticket office and bought a regular ticket, and then entered Happy Valley with Lin Jiang.
At the same time, a Cullinan stopped at the entrance of Happy Valley.
Zheng Jianghe was driving the car, Li Wuyang and Zhou Jin, one sat in the passenger seat and the other sat in the back seat.
"In comparison, Happy Valley is better and its equipment is newer. I suggest you give it special consideration." Li Wuyang said.
"In fact, Colorful Ocean World also has its advantages. You can play in the water, but the entertainment facilities are not so complete. But we can invest in new ones later."
Zheng Jianghe took out a cigarette and gave one to each of them.
The three of them lit up their cigarettes one after another, and Li Wuyang said:
"The current situation is here, which one do you prefer?"
"It's definitely Happy Valley. The IP is well known. Generally speaking, this place is better."
"Have you contacted both sides?" Li Wuyang asked.
"I've contacted them and the prices are similar, so I prefer Happy Valley."
"Then go in and take a look. If there are no major problems, we can make the decision."
"Let's go."
After opening the car door, the three of them got out and walked towards Happy Valley.
……
After Lin Jiang and Xu Lin came in, what caught their eyes was a large fountain. There were many people taking photos nearby, and the joyful atmosphere was immediately created.
"Have you been here before?"
"I've been to all the amusement parks in Zhonghai, big and small."
Xu Lin looked at Lin Jiang with a smile, "Do you want to hear the truth?"
"of course."
“The overall feeling and atmosphere are still a little worse than Disney, but compared with other amusement parks, it is much better. The overall evaluation is still very good.”
“It seems pretty good to have this evaluation.”
"But there is a problem. You ignore the fact that most people who come here to play have been to Disneyland before, or they don't want to wait in line at Disneyland, so they choose to come here."
Xu Lin looked at Lin Jiang with interest and said with a smile:
"I think with your personality, you won't be left behind, right?"
"This is a bit difficult for me. Disney is such a big IP and enjoys a great reputation all over the world. It may be a bit difficult to catch up with them. However... I must give it a try and strive to be the best."
"I told you that you won't give up easily."
Xu Lin took Lin Jiang's arm and they walked into the park.
"Whatever you want to play, I'll play with you."
"No, I'm too timid to endure these projects. I just want to enjoy the scenery."
Although he had no intention of playing the project, Xu Lin was still very interested.
For Xu Lin, it is also a good thing to be able to come here with Lin Jiang for a stroll.
But even so, Lin Jiang still took Xu Lin to play some non-exciting activities, otherwise the tickets would have been wasted.
"No, this is too scary."
The two got off the roller coaster, and Xu Lin kept covering her chest.
"Actually this one is not bad. I've ridden on more exciting ones than this one."
“No, I’ve gotten older and I’ve become less courageous.
"I'm only in my early 30s. Don't make me sound too old."
Lin Jiang bought a bottle of water and handed it to Xu Lin, "Drink some water to calm your nerves."
Xu Lin drank some water and her complexion looked much better.
“But it’s really exciting.”
"Then let's go do something less exciting." Lin Jiang said, pointing to the Ferris wheel in the distance.
"This is acceptable."
Seeing the Ferris wheel, Xu Lin's interest was piqued.
Among all the games that are associated with waste, the Ferris wheel plays an irreplaceable role among couples.
Although it's not much fun, if a couple rides on it once, it seems to mean something.
This kind of thinking is especially common among girls, and even mature women like Xu Lin are not immune to it.
"Walk."
There were a lot of people queuing under the Ferris wheel, most of them were couples, and there were almost no people queuing alone.
Xu Lin was very interested. While waiting in line, she would stand on tiptoe from time to time to look at the people in front of her, hoping that it would be her turn soon.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, two people got in line.
After getting on the Ferris wheel, the two sat side by side. The car slowly rose into the air, and everything under their feet became smaller. Gradually, the entire Zhonghai seemed to be under their feet.
Xu Lin pointed at the tiny scenery outside and said excitedly:
"Look, it looks like Berkeley..."
"That building over there looks like Century Triumph..."
"And the ones over there..."
The two of them looked at the scenery outside and talked about meaningless topics.
But in the eyes of the two, this also seems to be nutritious.
Soon, the Ferris wheel turned a circle and returned to the starting point again, just like the ups and downs of life.
You can face ups calmly when things go up, and you can also stay calm when things go down.
The Ferris wheel cabin was opened and two people walked down.
Just as I was coming down from the second-floor platform, I suddenly heard a shout.
"Huh? What's going on with that woman? Why did she go up there all of a sudden?"
Hearing the discussion, Lin Jiang and Xu Lin both looked over.
On the second-floor platform of the Ferris wheel, I saw a couple in their 30s standing behind the staff, looking for an opportunity to go up.
Although they were very careful, they were still discovered by others.
"Don't worry, everyone has a share and can get a spot."
The staff member knew he was in the wrong and politely explained to the person behind him.
The person who is about to line up doesn't care, as it will be his turn soon anyway, but the people behind him are not happy about it.
Everyone has worked hard to queue up, why do you have the right to cut in line?
"What do you mean everyone can line up? We all lined up here. Why do some people cut in line? What? Are they your relatives?"
"Not my relative..."
The staff in charge of organizing order didn't know what to say.
"She was already in line, but she just went to the bathroom. She's coming up now."
"Stop talking nonsense. We have been queuing here and have not seen those two people. How come you say they have queued?"
"This……"
Lin Jiang and Xu Lin looked at each other, and the latter said:
"I guess he knew a certain leader, so he was allowed in to play."
Lin Jiang nodded. "Whether or not this kind of thing will cause you trouble depends entirely on the mood of the people in line. Some people may notice it but are too lazy to care about it, but some people will take it seriously, just like now."
"I feel that there are many problems in management." Xu Lin expressed his views and said:
"You can do this, but you can't be too blatant. You have to do it in a nice way."
"Let's see how they deal with it first."
On the second-floor platform, seeing that the people queuing below were not giving in, the staff didn't know what to do. He turned around and looked at the couple behind him and whispered a few words.
The man's attitude was normal, but his girlfriend's face looked ugly.
"Why do you care what they do? If they want to play, they can play. If they don't want to play, they can get out. No one is begging them to play."
"Say it again! You cut in line and you think you're right!"
The people in the queue were already very angry, and when they heard the woman who cut in line say this, even those who had nothing to do with it couldn't stand it anymore.
"If you don't let her go, then refund our tickets. Otherwise, we'll just stand here and no one will play."
"Everyone calm down. There's no need to make such a big fuss. Let's talk it out..."
The staff is still trying their best to maintain order. Even though this incident has little to do with them, they will be implicated if it gets out of hand.
"If you don't want to play, get out. If anyone dares to block the way here, I will call the police and have you all arrested!" The woman who cut in line refused to give in.
"Haha...version T0 is awesome." Lin Jiang said with a smile.
"This is your property, and you are still making sarcastic remarks here." Xu Lin said:
"And you see, someone is already recording the video with their phone."
"It's not appropriate for me to come forward at this time." Lin Jiang said:
"After all, I am the big boss behind the scenes. You can't ask me to maintain order."
"If they try to solve it themselves, it will probably get out of hand," Xu Lin said.
"In the final analysis, it's just a matter of queue-jumping. It can't be a big deal." Lin Jiang said:
"Now that I have taken over this place, I will definitely have to clear out a group of people after the handover is completed. This is also a good reason, what do you think?"
"That seems to make sense..."
Xu Lin discovered that there was a deviation in the way he and Lin Jiang thought about problems.
He now has a completely entrepreneurial mindset and is several levels ahead of himself.
"Then I'll just watch the fun without worrying about you."
"It's no big deal, don't worry about it."
As the two were talking, things got more and more serious. Everyone in the queue started to make a fuss and no one wanted to play anymore.
Standing on the second-floor platform, the woman who cut in line showed a little panic on her face and became even more agitated.
"Are you guys sick? If you hadn't made trouble, I would have been playing now. Now I can't play anymore."
"We are willing. If you don't go down, none of us will play!"
"Damn, these idiots!"
The woman who cut in line was cursing and swearing, and her boyfriend was trying to persuade her, but it was of no use. Instead, she became more and more excited, pointing at the people who were making trouble and cursing.
"I'm telling you, my brother-in-law is the supervisor here, get out of here, if you don't want to play, I'll kick you all out!"
Xu Lin looked at Lin Jiang and said, "I guessed it right. There is nepotism involved."
"Look at them, they don't even have bracelets on their hands. It's obvious that they didn't buy tickets to get in. There's no doubt about nepotism."
"What about us? Continue to watch the fun?"
"Of course, the pigs have to be fattened before being killed, and the matter has to get out of hand before it is dealt with."
"You are really getting worse and worse."
The conflict between the two sides became more and more serious, and more and more people gathered around.
At this moment, a man in work uniform came over with big strides and shouted to the crowd:
"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me first. This is the fault of the park. It has caused a bad experience for everyone. I apologize to everyone here."
As he spoke, the man in work uniform glared at the woman on the second-floor platform, and the latter instantly became much more obedient.
Led by the staff, I walked down the stairs on the other side.
Soon, the man in the work uniform put on an apologetic smile on his face and bowed to the people in line again.
"We have caused a bad experience for everyone. We apologize to everyone here. We will prevent such things from happening again in the future."
Seeing that the other party had apologized sincerely, those who were queuing and watching the fun did not pursue the matter any further.
The crowd dispersed and those who had bought tickets continued to line up.
The couple was also taken away by people in work uniforms.
Lin Jiang glanced at the man in work uniform with a nameplate on his chest.
Operations Manager, Liu Haifeng.
"What are you doing! Don't you know this is a public place? Do you know how much impact this will cause?" Liu Haifeng lectured.
"We have been very careful. We really didn't expect that someone would jump out. I am really impressed by those people. They are all like crazy!"
"I am convinced by these idiots. They are still making a fuss over such a small matter," said Liu Haifeng.
"Who said it wasn't? I was so angry just now. I was so incompetent that I just kept yelling and calling them idiots. I was flattering them."
"You guys should stop playing here today. It won't be good if those idiots see us again. Come back another day and I'll make arrangements for you..."
Liu Haifeng stopped talking halfway through his words.
Because he saw Lin Jiang and Xu Lin standing not far away, his face suddenly turned ugly.
His sister-in-law and brother-in-law also looked over, and their expressions became unnatural.
What you just said can only be heard by your own people. If outsiders hear it, this matter will be difficult to handle.
Liu Haifeng's brother-in-law walked towards Lin Jiang and pointed at him and said:
"What are you doing here? Who told you to stay here?"
"You're being a little ridiculous, this is a public place, it's normal for us to be here."
"What did you just hear?"
Lin Jiang smiled and said, "I heard everything you said."
Seeing Lin Jiang being so open, the three of them were a little surprised.
Liu Haifeng's brother-in-law pointed at Lin Jiang and said:
"You'd better pretend you didn't hear what we just said, and don't go out and spread nonsense!"
Snapped!
Lin Jiang waved his hand, pushed the other person's hand aside, and looked at Liu Haifeng.
"Did you know that Zhonghai Happy Valley has been sold?"
Lin Jiang didn't plan to pretend anymore and prepared to go big.
