Hearing is false, seeing is believing.

Although in the leisurely and leisurely environment of the Grand View Garden, relying on paper reports, President Wu of the Xinhua Branch and Liu Linlin from the capital have seen enough brilliant achievements.

However, the news that "young people gather to worship Chinese cultural products, and even organize a steady stream of groups to come to China to check in and plant grass for pilgrimage" is too appalling after all.

They felt that they had to verify it themselves before they had the courage to write it in the newsletter.

"President Wu, you are a local, please ask for some things. As soon as she left the Grand View Garden, she looked back and saw that Gu Ao's person had disappeared at the end of her vision, so Liu Linlin hurriedly seized the opportunity to ask questions.

In order to facilitate the chat, they specially did not let Gu Biao send a car. Originally, with Gu Biao's level of tyrant, getting two Mercedes-Benz to send off passengers was a basic configuration. And the people of the Xinhua branch use their own cars, and they can only be Santana.

"Xiao Liu, what are you polite to me, just ask. "President Wu is also very enthusiastic.

Although he is the president of the local branch, after all, the other party is from the capital, and he is also a senior comrade who has been tracking hot spots in the unit for more than ten years, so President Wu really can't put on a show.

Liu Linlin also went straight to the point: "Miss Mina said just now that in recent months, the number of people who come to Qiantang for tourism has increased many times, have you paid attention to this information? It is said that if this is true, you should have realized it earlier than her, is it possible that no one in the Wuyue branch usually talks about foreign affairs news?"

Elder Wu's face flushed slightly, and he defended himself with a little embarrassment: "It is indeed possible that our work is not in place. But didn't Miss Mina also say that this situation may not happen in a few months.

In addition, I am not a New Year, people celebrate Christmas and New Year's Day, and only we Chinese celebrate the Spring Festival. It's possible that my people didn't notice that they were collecting news material on this.

Moreover, Qiantang is originally a tourist city, and the number of foreign-related tourists is still relatively large, and I originally only accounted for a small part, so if I only said that the number of small groups of myself has increased several times, and put it into the total number of overseas tourists, it may be a few percent, and it is normal not to be aware of the problem without specifically analyzing this data. ”

In the mid-to-late 80s, the official media was already quite quick to react, and those obvious big events, noticed within a few days, were of due quality.

However, "a large number of people come to Qiantang to travel and check in" is a subtle thing.

All statistics are chaotic, and if you don't specifically single out for "big data analysis", it's normal to ignore them.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and the follow-up first batch of Japanese-style war chess RPg/Japanese-style strategy games {in fact, this time and space should be called Chinese-style RPg, because these game categories were invented by the Chinese}, gradually became popular in the book, that is, the phenomenon that gradually spread in the second half of last year. When the spread of young people comes to China to check in, it will be the fourth quarter of the year at the earliest.

President Wu's reaction was not too slow.

After realizing the problem, President Wu led Liu Linlin, and also found the relevant competent departments for the first time, interviewed and requested data.

……

Two hours later, the Tourism Bureau of Qiantang City.

"Hello comrade, we are from the Xinhua Provincial Branch, and this female comrade is from the Beijing Head Office. There was no appointment as the need was urgent......"

As soon as the group entered the door, President Wu's wording was still very polite, and at the same time, they all showed their documents.

As soon as I heard that it was someone from the new H Society, and there was someone from the capital, of course the people from the tourism bureau attached great importance to it, and they didn't dare to consider the other party's energy just by level.

"I don't know which leader you are looking for, what are you going to interview?" said the receiving comrade with a smile on his face.

"We don't have specific requirements, as long as they are leaders in charge of the city's tourism performance and understand the authoritative data of relevant industries, we mainly want to know the recent increase in the proportion of tourists visiting Qiantang, and whether the industrial park of Tiankun in the city has obviously attracted foreign tourists to visit. ”

"Okay, then you wait a minute, I'll arrange it. "The staff politely trotted to inform.

Within two minutes, Liu Linlin and President Wu were welcomed into one of the most spacious offices.

"This is our Sun Bureau, I heard that it was an interview about Tian Kun, and Sun Bureau was very supportive and willing to receive it in person. The staff whispered to Liu Linlin to introduce a sentence.

It turned out that this surnamed Sun was Qiu Qing's deputy a few years ago. Since Qiu Qing made remarkable achievements, went to the city as a deputy, and was even promoted to executive last year, the vacancy on the tourism bureau's side was naturally filled by Sun Bureau.

This surnamed Sun also befriended Gu Biao with Qiu Qing a few years ago, and he knows the situation of the Tiankun system very well. Later, after Qiu Qing went to the city, the bureau still had to cooperate with Gu Biao to run a cinema and engage in other cultural and tourism industries, and the specific details were all raised by this Sun Bureau.

It's just that although his position is lower than Qiu Qing, his age is not young, but he is a few years older than Qiu Qing, and he is almost 50 years old - after all, Sun Ju is a college student who graduated in the late 60s, and under the tide of younger cadres in the early 80s, cadres in their thirties and forties who have studied in college tend to rise faster than those who have not studied in their forties or fifties.

Therefore, Sun Ju does not have many obvious ambitions in his career. Belong to the kind of idle deputy job that feels that he can climb to the city after retirement in this life, and he is very satisfied.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Sun Ju also took the initiative to come up with the data very heartily to help Tiankun Station gē gōng sòng dé, which was exactly like defending his own brother.

Even if Liu Linlin doesn't listen to the other party's specific data, just looking at the other party's expression and tone, she can detect that strong sense of pride.

"I really don't know how much Gu Biao has contributed to the local area with so many cultural industries arranged in Qiantang. The leading cadres of the cultural and tourism department are so righteous and bold to him. Liu Linlin secretly thought in her heart.

Emotions are sighs, these unnutritious emotions are quickly attracted by living data.

After combing through the "big data" in a targeted manner, the visual impact of the conclusions obtained is obviously much greater than that of a chaotic state.

"Last year, the total number of foreign tourists received by Qiantang City's foreign tourism industry increased by 77 percent over the previous year, and the number of tourists increased by 320 percent...... I said that there were a lot more of them!"

In the mid-80s, because the tourism market was fully opened to foreigners and foreigners were called for tourism for a few years, the previous base was relatively small, so the growth percentage has been quite high.

Therefore, when you look at the annual growth rate of 77%, you will not be surprised that your jaw drops. For other brother units, such as cities such as Hujiang and Mingzhou, there is an annual growth rate of more than 40%.

The data on Qiantang's side can only be said to be "two-thirds better than other sister cities with the best growth performance in the surrounding areas".

However, it is an exaggeration to say that the number of tourists increased by 320% in the following year. This shows that almost all of the increments in those additional achievements were contributed by himself. According to Mina's speculation before, these people came to see Tiankun's R&D department and game design and planning headquarters to make a pilgrimage.

It's the same as later generations of Chinese going to Akihabara or Universal Studios Hollywood to check in - of course, here is just an analogy, today's old-school media people like Liu Linlin, but they don't know what Akihabara is at all.

Sun Ju was obviously very satisfied with this achievement, and when he expressed his merits to the comrades of the Xinhua Branch, his face was full of pride.

"Sun Ju, I would like to ask - when it comes to the performance of Japanese-related tourists, what is the general situation of other brother units in China that have done well?" Liu Linlin asked the bottom of the matter very rigorously in order to make the materials more solid.

Sun Ju said proudly: "Comrade Xiao Liu, then you are asking the right person - I still have the notice sent by the State General Administration at the beginning of the year, but we have been commended for this achievement." Because the city that does the second best in this indicator in China has only a growth rate of 70%, which is less than a quarter of ours.

That is still targeted opening policy and industrial guidance and support, and the achievements of our Qiantang are not used in the slightest policy resources of inclined support, are the spontaneous formation of private resources to earn foreign exchange. And, I can give you a more uplifting statistic. ”

Big data, sometimes the more you dig down, the more desperate it becomes.

Sun Juxing's head came up, and he directly brushed and pulled the paper to a certain page of the report:

"There is a further detailed composition report here. The year-on-year growth rate of the number of tourists in the first and second quarters of last year and the same period of the previous year was 65% and 59% respectively. But in the third quarter, this indicator rose to 185%, and in the fourth quarter it rose sharply to 820% -

In other words, only 30% of the annual increase in the number of people was completed through the first three quarters, and the growth of one quarter in the fourth quarter pulled the total for the whole year several times. If you look at the increase in this quarter alone, it is equivalent to nearly 10 times that of the previous year! This is already two orders of magnitude. ”

When Liu Linlin heard this, she couldn't believe her eyes.

But in fact, when big data peels back the cocoon to uncover the truth, it is sometimes like this.

For example, if you see a stock market rising, is it true that the stocks in the market are generally performing well? Obviously not, because the global average data is that 80% of the stocks in a market will not survive for 20 years before they are delisted.

No matter which stock market's large-market indicators rise, they are all supported by the star companies of that era. For example, in the 2010s, the Xiangjiang Hang Seng Index rose in those years, in fact, a lot of traditional Hong Kong stocks hit the street, but Tengyun rose for more than ten years, and it rose to a huge volume of one or two percent of the total market value of the Hang Seng Index.

Gu Biao's current business is so big, even if it only spills over a small part of the pilgrimage effect in terms of tourism, but because it only spills out in a small puddle like Qiantang, the effect is almost like a tsunami.

It is entirely possible that the number of tourists in this country will be ten times higher than in the same quarter last year.

"In addition to the number of tourists, the city's foreign-related foreign exchange coupon shopping index last year also soared many times, and even higher than the number of tourists. The annual foreign exchange consumption of foreign exchange vouchers increased by 146%, the exchange volume of local tourists increased by 770%, and the index increased by 2,880% year-on-year in the fourth quarter......

In other words, the total amount of money spent by Mr. Say, who was shopping in Qiantang in the fourth quarter of last year, was 30 times the total amount of money I spent in the fourth quarter of the previous year. Not only did the number of visitors increase tenfold during that time, but the amount of money spent per guest also tripled. ”

"What is there in China that is worth the thousands of miles I have come to buy? Is it silk and tea?"

"This, for the time being, has not been counted. ”

"Can we make an unannounced visit on the spot?" Liu Linlin thought secretly.
