Chapter 156: A foreigner came to the village

Back in Rongshu Village, Duan Kefan has been pondering this question in his mind, how can Rongshu Village become famous all over the country in such a short period of time? This is obviously almost impossible to achieve, in this era of information explosion, a negative news can make you notorious, but it is not so easy to make a good reputation, otherwise why would those companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars to advertise?

These days, Duan Kefan has been thinking about this problem without thinking about it, and it is difficult for him to discuss this key issue with Chen Dong'er and Lai Changshun, and they can't discuss anything famous, Lai Changshun and they also know that he has something on his mind when they see him like this, so they try not to bother him with the trivial matters in the village, during this time, Duan Kefan is so busy with the affairs of the village that he can't stop his feet, so it's good to let him rest.

On this day, Duan Kefan was pondering in the office of the village department, Liu Xiaoshan ran in with a smile, and said excitedly: "Brother Fan, there is a foreigner in the village, and I don't know what bird language to say, you can go and take a look......

Duan Kefan was also very surprised when he heard it, although Rongshu Village now has a little fame in the circle of self-driving travel enthusiasts, and there will be tourists from the city who come to visit every day, but it is the first time that foreign tourists have heard that someone is coming, Duan Kefan does not have much idea of admiring foreign countries, and he does not think that foreign tourists are more expensive than domestic tourists, but foreign tourists do not understand the language, and it is not good to make any international jokes, so he did not dare to slack off, and quickly asked Liu Xiaoshan to take him to see what was going on.

Originally, Duan Kefan thought that he would see a blonde foreigner, but what he saw from afar was a young oriental man with the same black hair and yellow skin as himself, carrying a large backpack and a map in his hand, followed by a group of children from Banyan Village giggling and watching the excitement, but the young oriental man did not speak Chinese, so no one could understand his words, so he was so anxious that he scratched his head.

Fortunately, Duan Kefan's English is good, after all, he grew up in the United States, and when he stepped forward to talk in English, he figured out what was going on, it turned out that this young Oriental man was from South Korea, named Park Daehoon, a photojournalist for South Korea's "Korean News", and this time he came to find his roots. Park Daxun finally found someone who could communicate with him verbally, so he naturally pulled Duan Kefan excitedly.

Duan Kefan had no choice but to act as Park Daxun's tour guide, and took him to visit the entire Banyan Village, Park Daxun was full of praise for the beautiful scenery of Banyan Village, and was particularly interested in the ancient buildings of Banyan Village, especially after seeing the door of the ancestral hall with the inscription of Emperor Jianwen himself, and the Ming Dynasty standard military fort on both sides of the hill, his eyes were shining, and the relationship with Duan Kefan was also a lot closer, saying that he was the best friend he met in China!

After talking to Park Daxun, Duan Kefan became more clear about his intentions. It is not uncommon for Koreans to come to Jiangnan Province to find their roots, because according to historical records, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was once a small country called "Yong" in the northwest of what is now Jiangnan Province During the period of King Chuzhuang, Yongchu war, Yong defeated, Yongyu continued to flee in the mountains to the south, and settled down in the location of Jiqing City, so Jiqing City was also called Dayong City before, and later changed its name to Jiqing City, and later with the evolution of history, a tortuous migration of Yong people to South Korea, so many Koreans regard Jiqing as their second hometown, every year there are many Koreans who come to seek their roots, bringing a lot of foreign exchange income to Jiqing City, which is naturally happy to see Jiqing City, so many tourist attractions in Jiqing City will have Korean signs。

Duan Kefan felt strange that the location of Gucheng County was not the location of Gu Dayongguo, and it was said that Park Daxun should not have found Rongshu Village to find his roots? After this conversation, Duan Kefan finally understood that this Park Daxun was not really looking for the relics of his ancestors, in fact, after so many years, which Korean could clearly say that his ancestors were the past branch of Gu Dayongguo? His so-called root-seeking is just to catch up with the fashion and find some capital to put gold on his face for himself, so he heard that Rongshu Village is the place where Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty stayed, and the final whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen in history have always been a mystery, there is a saying that he went into exile overseas and eventually went to South Korea, so Park Daxun found here on a whim, if he put himself with the name of a descendant of Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty, this bloodline will be noble, even if it is too far-fetched to say that the descendants of the emperor's descendants are the descendants of a certain general and guard around Emperor Jianwen, it is also after the nobility!

Of course, Duan Kefan is also hehe, the sticks just like to do this kind of thing of putting gold on their faces, and they can even do the shameless thing of preemptively registering the Dragon Boat Festival, a traditional festival in China, to apply for the world intangible heritage, what are they embarrassed to do? In Duan Kefan's view, this kind of practice of the sticks has no practical meaning except for adding to the laughing stock, can you preemptively register the Dragon Boat Festival to apply for the world intangible heritage, can you still say that Qu Yuan is also a Korean? Is this what you said you could snatch away?

Of course, from another point of view, the sticks do pay more attention to the protection of ancient cultural heritage than us, and at the same time, Park Daxun's idea also made Duan Kefan have an idea, if you can use the sticks like to put gold on their faces, and play the card of the relics of Emperor Jianwen in the Ming Dynasty, won't it attract a large number of Korean tourists to travel to Rongshu Village, so that the tourism industry of Rongshu Village will reach a higher level? In this way, the influence of Rongshu Village will no longer be limited to Gangnam Province, and it will be able to gain popularity in the whole country and even neighboring countries such as South Korea in a short period of time?

As for whether the sticks will use this to say that they are the descendants of Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty, Duan Kefan has no psychological burden at all, do you say yes? Then we have to admit it! If you like to deceive yourself, let yourself be lewd, let's just get the benefits!

Thinking of this, Duan Kefan suddenly became excited, and hurriedly asked Park Daehoon: "Mr. Park, you just said that you are a photojournalist for "Korea News", then I would like to ask how much it will cost to publish a full-page advertisement in your mainstream Korean newspaper?......

Park Daxun was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Duan Kefan suddenly asked such a question, and said a little confused: "Mr. Duan, I am not in charge of the newspaper's advertising business, so the details are not very clear, and it will take about 50 million won......"

Duan Kefan quickly calculated the exchange rate, 50 million won is converted into about 300,000 yuan, which is still within his own range of bearing, it seems that his idea is still very feasible, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Park, you see that the scenery of our Banyan Village is so beautiful, and it is the place where Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty stayed, and the historical and cultural heritage is very profound, so I think you can help us connect and help us publish a full-page advertisement in the mainstream newspapers in South Korea, so that more Korean friends know about our Banyan Village!" ……”
