Chapter 57: Beginning to Bear Fruit
When I arrived at the location of the food festival, the first thing that caught my eye was the billboards erected on the shore, which basically promoted the more famous hotels and seafood restaurants in Moon Bay.
The most conspicuous billboard here is, of course, the hotel and sea-view rooms occupied by SITC Real Estate and Indigo Travel Group in Moon Bay. There is no doubt that the blind man's "Sea Inn" and some of his hotels are among them, and they also occupy an important place.
Although the annual food festival held by Moon Bay is organized by the local administration, it is driven by several major real estate merchants and catering merchants in Moon Bay. Including SITC Real Estate, Yinlu Group and other large merchants.
Its main purpose is to alleviate the impact of the economic downturn brought about by the off-season...
Although these large enterprises and large merchants have contributed a lot of money to the food festival every year, the economic benefits brought by it are immeasurable, at least the economic benefits brought by the three days before and after the food festival are almost equivalent to the economic benefits brought by one month during the peak tourist season.
If you want to say when Moon Bay has the most tourists, it is by no means the peak tourist season, but the food festival these days...
The blind man and Jiang Yiguo and I walked along the path opened by the billboards on both sides with a cigarette in hand.
As far as the eye can see, the billboards displayed here and the large screen above the beach tunnel are almost all Haifeng Real Estate, Indilu Tourism Group's seaview apartments, seaview villas, seaview hotels, etc. And like the usual small hotels, small hotels and inns are basically not displayed here.
In fact, there is nothing surprising about this, after all, the food festival is originally held by them, and we small businesses, although we can't get good publicity, can also benefit a lot from it every year.
Walking on the path paved with concrete and flashing lights, the blind man pointed to the crowd surging on the beach and said, "Moon Bay is at its liveliest at this time of year." ”
After a pause, he continued: "It's also a good opportunity for us to make a lot of money. ”
I smiled at each other, then looked at the billboards of the blind man's "Sea Inn" and his hotel, and said, "I hope that one day my hotel will have a place here." ”
Jiang Yiguo walked over, put his arm around my shoulders and said, "Now is the chance." ”
"What?" I looked at a country in confusion.
"Come here. Jiang Yiguo pulled me and the blind man to take a few steps forward, pointed to a billboard in front of him and said, "See, the Moon Bay Hotel, near the harbor and close to the mountains." The saltwater hot spring hotel is suitable for sojourn, warm in winter and cool in summer..."Jiang Yiguo read the advertising slogan above the billboard.
I looked at the billboard in front of me with surprise and surprise, isn't this the promotional billboard of my 'Moon Bay Hotel'?
"Li Jiaying got it?" I turned around and asked a country.
Jiang Yiguo nodded happily: "Yes." ”
"Isn't he running a small advertising agency? Where did he get the skills to make a billboard here?"
I still can't believe that Li Jiaying really just opened a small advertising company, after all, under the control of SITC Real Estate and Guide Travel Group, the food festival that can display billboards here can be displayed here, in addition to paying a large amount of hosting fees, or just like a blind man, who has been rolling in Moon Bay for more than ten years. But according to what Li Jiaying told me about his advertising agency that day, it is obvious that he would not pay a large amount of money to erect a billboard here for me.
It seemed that Yiguo didn't care much about my doubts, he spat out his cigarette and said slowly: "You don't care about this, you will slowly know these things in the future." ”
"Can you please stop playing dumb riddles with me here. ”
"Since someone has helped you publicize, you can just earn your money with peace of mind, where are there so many words. ”
"What the hell are you talking about?" The blind man who was left aside by us looked at me and Jiang Yiguo with a puzzled face.
Jiang Yiguo walked over and patted the blind man's chest and said, "I'll tell you about this later... What's the matter, Xiuwen, since someone has helped your hotel do a good job of publicity, shouldn't we go to the 'Lost City' tonight for a drink or two?" ”
Although the Moon Half Bay Hotel has been well publicized and promoted, I am still a little relieved, and I look at Yiguo with some apologies: "Dude, it's really not good tonight." Next time, no. ”
Jiang Yiguo stared at me with white eyes and didn't say a word, I squeezed my eyes at the blind man again, hoping that he could help me persuade Jiang Yiguo.
The blind man quickly understood what I meant, and he put his arm around Yiguo's shoulders and said, "This kid has never made much money in his life, and he has never seen much of the world, so let him go back to his hotel tonight and wait... I'll go with you to drink, and as much as you want to drink, it's mine. ”
Jiang Yiguo nodded helplessly: "Okay." ”
After seeing Jiang Yiguo's compromise, I smiled at them apologetically... After walking around the place where the food festival was held for a while, the blind man and Jiang Yiguo also drove away. Then I walked back to the Moon Bay Hotel by myself.
When I returned to the Moon Half Bay Hotel, I was always looking forward to how many travelers would stay in the two hours I was away.
Even if it's a tourist, I'll be very happy, after all, the food festival won't start until tomorrow, so there aren't too many tourists tonight.
Even if there is a person living in, I still have great confidence in the future development of the Moon Bay Hotel, as for the Moon Bay Hotel, if nothing else, I will receive the first batch of passengers sent by Su Yi tomorrow...
When I first arrived at the door of the Moon Bay Hotel, I was already very happy, because there were two travelers checking in at this time, and it looked like it should be a couple.
As soon as the two guests walked into the room, I immediately walked to the front desk.
"How many rooms have been opened tonight?" I eagerly asked the waiter on duty.
"With the addition of one just opened, there are six rooms in total. The waiter on duty flipped the mouse in his hand and stared at the computer.
This result was obviously unexpected to me, but it also made sense, and it was clear that the billboard at the location of the food festival still had some effect.
The single room in the Yuebanwan hotel room is 180 / night, plus 20 yuan can be free hot spring and swimming, if you just soak in the hot spring and swim, only 50 yuan per person.
In order to find out whether these guests are interested in the hot springs, I asked the girl on duty, "What packages have these guests chosen?"
"Hmm.." The little sister on duty thought for a while, and then continued: "When they opened the room, they all said that they came to live because they fell in love with the hot springs here, so those guests just now chose to add 20 yuan more, and they all stayed for three nights. ”
I nodded: "I see, you can continue to be on duty." ”
With that, I walked back to the couch and sat down.
I learned from the waiter on duty that six rooms were opened tonight, and all of them stayed for three nights, and the income was 3,600 yuan. In other words, the food festival has not even started, and the effect has already begun to show results, which is something I never dared to think of just now...
In the next two hours, several groups of tourists came to the Yuebanwan Hotel one after another, and every traveler who came fell in love with the hot springs here, and everyone basically booked a three-day room.
At about ten o'clock, 20 of the 25 rooms of the Moon Bay Hotel have been booked, which means that so far, the revenue of the Moon Bay Hotel has exceeded 10,000 yuan, which is really beyond my expectations.
In just a few hours, the Moon Bay Hotel was almost full. I called again to ask if there were any guests at the Moon Bay Hotel, and although the reply I got was yes, there were not many people, but it was enough to make me happy.
After the end of the phone call from the Moon Bay Hotel, I plan to buy some swimsuits and swim trunks tomorrow, since everyone likes to soak in the hot springs in winter, then the sales of swimsuits and swim trunks should not be too bad, after all, the swimming pool and hot spring pool of the Moon Bay Hotel are not only open to the guests inside, but also very welcome to those who do not live here or locals who want to come to the hot springs...
"Because I don't know if I'll ever meet you in my next life..."
"Hey, Zhai Xiuwen, where are you. "This is Yao Shan's call to me.
"I'm at the Moon Bay Hotel, what's wrong. ”
"I'm in Moon Bay now, I'll go look for you. ”
"Okay, I'll wait for you. "After I ended the phone call with Yao Shan, I remembered that a week ago, I had invited her to a food festival in Moon Bay.
She also told me that as long as she had time, she would definitely come over if she wasn't busy. As it happens, it's Friday, and two of the three days of the festival are weekends, so it's no surprise that Yao Shan will be here.
