Chapter 328 - 203: Oh My God! They Really All Came to Coastal City
Ten thousand people would mean 20 million. If 50,000 people came, that would be 100 million.
If the bullet trains to Coastal City from all over are sold out, and plane tickets are the same, then the influx of people into the city will be substantial.
Keep in mind, Coastal City’s daily GDP is just over 3 billion.
"Quick, investigate the booking status of all hotels and inns," Fu Zhan immediately ordered again.
This time, the officials sprang into action, each one pulling out their phone to make calls.
After some time, they received confirmation: hotels everywhere were fully booked. The trend was highly unusual.
Fu Zhan confirmed the news, and the words ’a way to give Coastal City’s GDP a short-term boost’ resurfaced in his mind.
’Oh my god!’
’Did that Chen Jincheng predict this would happen?’
’But could a person really plan and predict something like this?’
’A marketing plan from an influencer... this terrifyingly effective?’
"Quick, contact Radiant Plaza and have them prepare for a large reception," Fu Zhan commanded without a moment’s hesitation.
Many people in the video had said they were going to Radiant Plaza to run into the Street Vendor Girl.
In other words, the plaza would become the final destination for the stream of people pouring into Coastal City.
...
「Radiant Plaza.」
In the director’s office, Lin Jian had arrived early in the morning. He and Manager Zhang stared in astonishment at the crowd that had already surged into the plaza at such an early hour.
Moreover, after pouring into the plaza, these people all flocked to the spot where yesterday’s interview video was filmed, clearly drawn by the video.
Videos of people "checking in" at Radiant Plaza were already being uploaded to Tiao Yin, and all of them expressed disappointment at not having met the Street Vendor Girl.
"This is incredible. Young Master Lin’s plan is just too brilliant," Manager Zhang said, his face a mask of astonishment.
Lin Jian was also stunned. Even now, he couldn’t fully comprehend the plan, but the fact remained that it was astonishingly effective.
Just then, the phone in the office rang.
Manager Zhang immediately answered it, then exclaimed, "The Publicity Department... ah, Director Wu, hello! ... Yes, yes, this is Zhang Tao, the general manager of Radiant Plaza."
He knew a sudden call from a leader at the Publicity Department was likely related to the marketing plan—it was a three-way partnership, after all. So, he quickly pressed the speakerphone button so Chairman Lin could also hear.
Director Wu’s voice came through the speaker: "Manager Zhang, I’m calling to give you some good news. You’ve probably seen that many people in the video said they want to come to Coastal City, right?"
His words stunned Lin Jian and Zhang Tao.
They had been following the video closely, so of course they’d seen it. But surely no one would actually travel all the way to Coastal City just for a video, right?
It seemed a bit unrealistic.
"Director Wu, I saw that. Are you saying..." Zhang Tao asked immediately. The sudden call from the Publicity Department official sparked a guess in his mind.
Even Lin Jian’s breathing quickened as he, too, guessed what was coming.
Even though he felt the guess was unrealistic.
Director Wu’s voice came again: "Indeed, a massive number of people are flocking to Coastal City. The high-speed trains are packed, flights to the city are completely sold out, and hotels across Coastal City have been booked solid—especially in the area around Radiant Plaza. There’s a high probability these people will go to Radiant Plaza, so please prepare to receive them."
This news left both Lin Jian and Zhang Tao with their jaws agape, staring at each other in silence.
’The guess had come true.’
’My god, do these people really have nothing better to do? Did they really travel all this way to Coastal City just because of a video?’
Truly, before this, they would never have dared to believe such a terrifyingly effective plan could exist.
"Quick, set up the vendor area! Spare no effort! If we’re short-staffed, I’ll have people from the main group come help," Lin Jian said, instantly recalling the previous words: ’Set up a vendor area, and you’ll rake in so much rent your hands will go soft.’
’This could actually happen.’
’So the Street Vendor Girl could be used like this.’
But he also knew that the key to making this happen was the Street Vendor Girl herself.
He could clearly see that all those people had come for the Street Vendor Girl.
So, he immediately dialed his son’s number.
The call connected, and Lin Hao’s voice came through. "Dad, you see the results of the plan now, right? So, when are you going to make the final payment? My friends and I fronted our own money to hype this thing up."
"I’ll transfer the money to you right away," Lin Jian said, then quickly added, "Help me contact that Street Vendor Girl. We want her to set up a stall in the plaza’s vendor area."
"Fine. As soon as the money comes through, I’ll contact her," Lin Hao stated directly.
Hearing this, Lin Jian didn’t hesitate. He turned and ordered Zhang Tao, "Transfer the money to him."
"Yes, Chairman Lin." Zhang Tao didn’t delay for a second, immediately calling the finance department to make the arrangements.
When he hung up the phone, his face was full of emotion. "Chairman Lin, I never imagined influencer marketing could be this powerful. It seems online promotion through Tiao Yin is really going to become mainstream. It’s a good thing Young Master Lin’s MCN company is so successful; otherwise, we wouldn’t have this plan. Now, the plaza’s operational rights are yours, Chairman Lin. On top of that, we can completely crush Xinghe Plaza. They probably won’t even know what hit them."
Lin Jian nodded at his words, a touch of pride swelling in his heart. ’Honestly, about his son and that Mikami Youya... if his son could really develop her commercial value to that extent, it wouldn’t be out of the question to let her be his mistress.’
’He would just need his son to marry a sensible wife who understood the bigger picture. As long as the corporation continued to thrive, their family fortune was more than enough to be divided.’
After receiving his father’s call, Lin Hao immediately dialed Chen Jincheng’s number. As soon as the call connected, he explained the situation: "Lao Cheng, Radiant Plaza wants to sign a contract with Zhu Ling to have her set up a stall there. Give me a price."
