i'm not a bad man

Chapter 214 Opposites

Not long after I sent the message to Qin Minhong, she took the initiative to call me. She seemed to dislike this method of communicating through text.

After the call was connected, I asked first: "Sister Minhong, are you still in the small town? I would like to treat you to a meal."

"I haven't even met with you yet. I can leave as soon as I can."

"Look, if it's convenient at noon, let's have a meal together."

After Qin Minhong hesitated for a while, she replied: "Not at noon, I have an appointment with someone else at noon."

I can't help but be surprised. I really can't imagine that in this small town that is so strange to them, who else besides me would invite them to dinner. Could it be that Qin Minhong's social network has really become so extensive that she can't even see her? A small town whose name I have never heard of?

No, as long as she has friends here, she will know about this small town, but I clearly remember her complaining to me before, asking why I came to such a place whose name I have never heard of.

Based on this doubt, I said: "I really can't imagine who else here would ask you to dinner."

"Have you forgotten Lu Xi's identity?... She is the most popular star right now. How could no one want to treat her to a meal in a place where even [-]th-tier starlets wouldn't come? "

"Aren't your itineraries always kept secret?"

"It's quite confidential, but we have to stay in a hotel. If we stay in a hotel, we have to register. Then someone will confirm our identity." After a pause, Qin Minhong said again: "But this is not a bad thing. , the owner of the hotel invited us to dinner. I heard he is the most outstanding entrepreneur among the young generation in the small town. His purpose of inviting us to dinner is not out of mindless admiration. He wants to discuss cooperation with us... He has a The scenic spot has just been rated as 5A a few years ago and is currently the hottest scenic spot in the town. He is a very ideal and ambitious person, and he is not willing to accept that his scenic spot is only famous in local areas, so he came up with the idea of ​​inviting The idea of ​​using Luxi as the spokesperson to promote the scenic spot nationwide... His idea was also supported by the county leaders. Isn't this the main focus of tourism? In the past few years, Zuo Xiaowei has been used as the local tourism ambassador. Zuo Xiao Wei's influence is limited and can only be regarded as internal entertainment. If you want to turn this place into a national tourist city, you have to rely on greater influence to promote it... Just like Dali, in fact, because of the filming in previous years "Blissful Heart" became a hit once... So, the hotel owner communicated with the county leaders and they had a luncheon... They had already set the tone for cooperation. As long as Lu Xi could agree to this cooperation, the reward would be In terms of this, we can let it go."

I was really shocked, because I knew who the hotel owner Qin Minhong was talking about, and there would be no one else except Guan Yubo; I never thought in my wildest dreams that he would have the idea of ​​cooperating with Lu Xi. Once Lu Xi promised that it would be a huge change. At least Zuo Xiaowei would completely withdraw from the town's billboards and be quickly forgotten by the whole city, because Lu Xi was about to replace it...

For me, this is not good news. Guan Yubo has Lu Xi’s endorsement, and it is even more difficult to talk about the revival of Chang Yuli’s scenic spot, but this can only be my own sense of crisis. , but did not have any position to oppose this matter. After all, this was Lu Xi’s career. She had the absolute right to choose, and we actually had an indirect confrontation in such a way; using my experience in 296 cities The resources accumulated over time to compete with her fame and traffic, as well as Guan Yubo's strong capital.

Although I didn't object, it didn't mean that I didn't care about the development of the situation, so I tentatively asked Qin Minhong: "What is Lu Xi's attitude now? Will she accept the cooperation proposed by Guan Yubo?"

This time, it was Qin Minhong's turn to be surprised. She asked, "How did you know it was Guan Yubo?"

After pondering for a while, I replied: "This person is Xiaowei's childhood friend. I have already seen his strength when I first came to the small town, so you said that the other person is young and promising, and he has a 5A-level scenic spot. I already know who it is..." Out of concern, I added: "Sister Minhong, you haven't told me yet, what is Lu Xi's attitude now?"

Qin Minhong smiled and said: "How do you think we need to deal with the matter of fame and fortune... Just wait and see, we will make an appointment again tonight." "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Just when I thought I would end the call with Qin Minhong, she said to me with an even bigger smile: "I heard that you met a friend here and there is a half-dead scenic spot at home. Do you want to take over the operation? "

"Well, there is such a thing."

"I advise you not to do it. Everyone should do what they are good at. You and I go back to BJ, prepare for Lu Xi's album, and look for opportunities to make a breakthrough... You really have no chance of doing a scenic spot... Look, that scenic spot is already rated 5A, and yours is half-dead, and now it has the support of the government, and even hired Lu Xi as its spokesperson, so what do you want to do to compete with him?"

I was unhappy, but I still replied in a calm tone: "Your idea is wrong. The government definitely wants to make the market bigger and boost the economy and employment... As long as the market is bigger, it will not matter to us. It must be a bad thing. As long as we make our own characteristics good, we can still get a share of the pie when the time comes."

"The idea is the government's, but the money is provided by Guan Yubo. I don't think he will let you small, inferior scenic spots get a share of the pie..."

"He doesn't have any say in this matter."

"You really don't know anything about the power of capital...Forget it, competition is your own business, and I don't need to discuss this with you. We just need to do our own thing well, and then get the rewards in a down-to-earth manner. That’s it.”

After saying that, Qin Minhong didn't give me another chance to speak. She hung up the phone before me, but she left me with a huge sense of crisis...

The so-called making the plate bigger and getting a piece of the pie is just my self-comfort, because this kind of small tourist town is not as big as tourist cities like Chengdu, Chongqing, Nanjing, and Hangzhou, so its reception capacity is limited, and it is easy to form a certain Scenic spots are dominated by one family, and this is what Guan Yubo pursues. What's more, he is a pure businessman. Even if he pools the efforts of the whole city to expand the tourism market, he will not allow other scenic spots to take advantage of his scenic spots. Diversion, once it threatens his interests, he will definitely use many means to squeeze the living space of other scenic spots.

From this point of view, the revitalization of Danangou Scenic Area is definitely not as simple as I imagined; however, I did not give up because of this. I really wanted to try whether the resources I accumulated along the way could break the mold cast by capital. barriers.

The only thing that makes me regret is that Guan Yubo actually asked Lu Xi to be the spokesperson, but before that, I couldn't even connect them, let alone thought that I would be on the opposite side of Lu Xi in business. On this day, this really echoes Qiao Jiao’s words: Life is unpredictable, the big intestine wraps up the small intestine!

Or perhaps, this is just Qin Minhong's wishful thinking, and Lu Xi may not be 100% catered to such cooperation.

However, Guan Yubo has already thought about asking celebrities to do endorsements. Even if Lu Xi refuses, he will find a celebrity of the same status to do the job. Therefore, under the same environment, I will be under pressure and threats. It's the same, so it's better to let Lu Xi earn the endorsement fee.

Therefore, no matter how reluctant I am, I can only accept it silently.
