"The Voice of China" is in full swing, and Batu is not idle, he is accompanied by the leaders of Alxa Left Banner to choose a site for the music festival.

This is the first metal music festival in the country and even in the world, and it is of great significance, not only for him, but also for the local government.

The effect of music festivals on tourism is obvious to all. The leaders of the Alxa League hope that the festival will be settled here to attract tourists and stimulate the economy.

"In front of us is Swan Lake, the pearl of the Tengger Desert, with an area of 3.2 square kilometers. The flag commander of the Alxa Left Banner is called Luo Hai, and he personally drove the team to pull Batu and his party from Bayanhot Town into the desert.

Luo Hai is a black-faced man in his early forties, and he is also a Mongolian.

From the outside, he doesn't look like a leader at all, wearing camouflage pants, a black T-shirt, and a very honest smile.

"There are more than 190 sand lakes in the Tengger Desert, and Swan Lake is the largest one. ”

After getting out of the car, Luo Hai and the secretary took Batu and his party into the Swan Lake Scenic Area, which is built according to the AAAAAA level scenic spot, but the development time is relatively short and not too perfect.

It's the peak tourist season during Golden Week, but there aren't many tourists here.

The person in charge of the scenic spot received them warmly, and prepared a sandmobile and camel caravan, and took them up to the top of the sand dunes and overlooked the entire Swan Lake.

The oasis in the desert is like a miracle of life, in the dry and scorched desert, a blue lake suddenly appeared, the water and grass by the lake are abundant, and the water birds fly in flocks.

In Batu's vision, the perfect place for this metal festival should be in the desert, where roughness is the nature of a man.

Swan Lake is very good, the rough gravel wraps the soft heart, and the iron man is tender.

But Batu is a little worried about the capacity of the place.

Metal music is in a period of rapid development, with new bands springing up and market acceptance rising rapidly.

According to statistics, there are more than 80 million fans listening to metal music in China, and it is still increasing.

It was the first metal festival, and it caused a buzz in the circle of metal fans when the idea was just revealed.

This is an event exclusive to metal fans, and conservative estimates suggest that the number of viewers starts at 10,000.

Although it is only 35 kilometers away from the town of Bayanhot, it is difficult for the town to receive tens of thousands of outsiders.

So, if you do it here, quite a few people will have to camp outside.

However, it can also be used as a selling point and feature of the festival, as long as the security is in place.

After a turn, they returned to the scenic area, and the person in charge of the scenic spot set up a banquet and invited them to dinner.

Although Luo Hai was honest on the surface, he was actually a very smart person, he saw that Batu still had doubts, and after eating the dishes, he said bluntly: "Batu, at my age, when your uncle is about the same." We are all Mongolian, we all speak straight, don't be embarrassed, if you have any ideas, just say directly, even if you can't cooperate, it doesn't matter, just make friends. ”

When Batu heard this, he said directly: "Then uncle, I'll say it directly, I've seen the environment, to be honest, it's more ordinary, and I haven't seen a suitable venue." The festival requires large open spaces, and beyond the scenic area there are wastelands and sand dunes. ”

"The focus is on the traffic problem, when I came I focused on the highway, here is a little bit from the toll station, and the road condition is not too good, a little narrow. If you do a music festival, there will definitely be a lot of people driving over, such road conditions can easily cause congestion, and the parking lot in the scenic area is obviously not enough. ”

"There are also accommodation issues, safety issues, catering issues, hygiene issues, ......"

Batu Bala said a lot, Luo Hai just listened carefully, nodding from time to time.

After Batu finished speaking, Luo Hai thought for a while before he said: "You see if this will work, first, the site problem, I will go back and immediately hold a meeting to organize, and find a way to get out the gentle slope in the west, there are few weeds there, and it will be no problem if the forklift pushes it a few times, Hu Ride, you have to cooperate in the circle." ”

Hu Ride is the person in charge of the scenic spot, and when he heard this, he nodded again and again, and agreed to it.

"As for the traffic problem, I can coordinate the transportation department to come to the site to manage it at that time, and at the same time transfer the buses and all the routes to pick up and drop off tourists, and if there are too many private cars, they can take the line buses. ”

"In terms of accommodation, there are not so many guesthouses and hotels in the town, but since it is a desert-themed music festival, we can get a group of tents to come, or we can publicize it in advance, and make a camping of 10,000 people, which is also a specialty. ”

"Don't worry about safety, I will coordinate with the police stations in several surrounding towns to dispatch police forces to maintain order and ensure the safety of the scene. ”

"It's the same with catering, we can prepare in advance, procure and stock enough food and water......

Based on each problem, he proposed a corresponding solution, many of which overlapped with Batu's ideas.

After that, he sighed and said: "In the final analysis, it is still a matter of money, our scenery here is very beautiful, but it is not well developed. Our flag is the poverty flag of Inner Mongolia, whether it is agriculture and animal husbandry, or industry, it needs the population as support, but our population here is too small, which restricts development. ”

"I really hope that you will choose us here for the music festival, if it can be done, it will be a great help to our whole flag. ”

"But our condition is such a condition, and I will definitely find a way to solve it if I can help solve it. If it's really not suitable, that's okay, you also have to think about the risk, and you can do what you want. ”

He had said everything about this, and Batu didn't know how to answer it for a while.

After staying here for a few days, he also got to know this side, and Luo Hai was indeed telling the truth.

The questions he just raised did exist objectively, but the main purpose was to hear what kind of support Luo Hai could give.

Luo Hai, Batu has also heard the locals mention it, he is a real person.

Now, it seems, that is exactly what happened.

But should this be the venue for the festival? Batu was a little confused.

It's not on his list of go-to options, with Ningxia, Gansu, and XJ all having better venues than here.

Batu makes a lot of money, but like all the band owners, they are not businessmen.

How much money they make is not their goal, as long as they don't lose money, they value the meaning of doing something more.

Admittedly, there are plenty of more established attractions that can host music festivals, but that's just the icing on the cake, and those places are not short of tourists.

And here, although it is not fully developed, it is a good opportunity for development.

Using the metal music festival to boost the economy and help the local people get rid of poverty is, in Batu's view, much more interesting than how much money to make.

He smiled and picked up his glass: "Uncle, then I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

Luo Hai was stunned for a moment, then his face was happy, and then he picked up the wine glass. But after thinking about it, he put it down again, replaced it with a wine dispenser, and said with a smile: "Okay!
