On February 22, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, the first Quancheng International Lantern Festival was grandly opened.

The so-called grandeur is not just talking, it must meet some necessary factors, such as liveliness, popularity, media attention, and leaders.

These are all in the Quancheng Lantern Festival, and the leaders not only came, but also included the bigwigs in the province and even the bigwigs of the National Tourism Administration.

In the evening, the bigwigs came to the main venue located in the first spring scenic spot, participated in the opening ceremony of the lantern festival, after a warm and brief speech, the leaders pressed the crystal ball in front of the rostrum, and the various lanterns around the main venue were lit up one after another, and the lantern festival officially began.

In addition to the main venue, three sub-venues were also set up, one was Dayue Lake, the second was a pedestrian commercial street, and the third was Huancheng Park. However, the Wanfoshan Scenic Area, due to its wide range and difficult layout, was not included in this lantern festival.

Huancheng Park was originally the old moat of Quancheng, there are dozens of springs on both sides of the river, and the first spring, Dayue Lake two scenic waterways are connected, it is a free public leisure place and scenic spot developed earlier in Quancheng.

In this lantern festival, the banks of the river are full of lanterns of different shapes, reflecting the brilliance of the river. This colorful river connects the two scenic spots of the first spring and Dayue Lake, and the commercial street is not far from the riverbank, so that all the scenic spots of the entire lantern festival form an organic whole.

In the days leading up to the Lantern Festival, the media has carried out extensive and intensive publicity, and there is a tradition of Lantern Festival in Quancheng, so there are many citizens and tourists who participate in the tour.

Fortunately, all the scenic spots of the Lantern Festival add up to a large enough area, plus the traffic control around the exhibition area, a smooth tour is still guaranteed.

In fact, if all the exhibition areas were full, many people would wake up laughing from their dreams.

……

After the opening ceremony, Mu Dong took Xiao Xiao to browse with great interest in the first spring scenic area, and several bodyguards were nervously guarding the surroundings.

"Very good, husband, there are a lot of kinds of exhibition areas, there are many pavilions from many countries, and there are many tourists. Xiao Xiao said with a smile.

"The pavilions are invited with money, and I hope that in the second and third sessions, many pavilions can actively sign up to participate, and I also hope that the advertising fees earned by the lantern festival can be enough to pay for the cost of inviting the pavilion to participate. Mu Dong spoke the truth.

Xiao Xiao nodded: "Many pavilions are selling tourist souvenirs, as long as they are profitable, they will get better and better in the future." ”

Mu Dong walked to a group of traditional zodiac lanterns and stopped to watch, and said with a smile: "Yes, the long-term design is quite scientific." There are small zodiac lamps here, all of which are handmade, do you want to buy one for Xin'er?"

"Okay, your little lover didn't come today, miss her, right?" Xiao Xiao teased and paid for a zodiac cow lantern.

Mu Dong smiled: "Speaking of little lovers, in the traditional sense, the Lantern Festival is the real Valentine's Day in China. Whether it is the expectation of "the willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk", or the surprise of "looking for him thousands of times, suddenly looking back, but the person is there, and the lights are dim", they are all good stories of talented and beautiful people.

In contrast, the Queqiao Festival of Qixi Festival is a sad background, and the legend is a scene of hugging and crying, which is simply funny as a "Chinese Valentine's Day". ”

Xiao Xiao was stunned for a few seconds, and finally sighed: "You should be a Chinese teacher." ”

Mu Dong blinked: "Actually, the theory just now was taught by our high school Chinese teacher, have you forgotten?"

"Cut, it's just you boys, when you hear about Valentine's Day or something, you get excited, and you remember it deeply, who can remember these things girls?" Xiao Xiao disagreed.

……

The two of them didn't go around for a long time, and they went home quickly, otherwise, a few bodyguards would collapse. When she got home, Mu's mother had already lit the steamed noodle lamp and waited for the family to eat.

A warm meal, lively and happy. During the banquet, Mu's mother specifically mentioned that her aunt Zhang Fenghuang had been discharged from the hospital, and the sisters also talked on the phone in the evening.

Mu Dong thought for a while and said, "Mom, this aunt's hospitalization must have cost a lot of money, if you want, give her tens of thousands." ”

Mu's mother was caught by her son's words, and said embarrassedly: "No, people have sons and daughters, and your cousin's willow processing outlets, according to your aunt, business is not bad." ”

"Children belong to children, and it doesn't matter if you, as a sister, give a little. But I remind you that you can only give this money to your aunt, and don't mention the medical expenses, as for whether she shares it with her children to offset the medical expenses, it is her own business. Mu Dong reminded.

……

The exhibition period of the Spring City International Lantern Festival is divided into two phases.

The first stage is only one day, that is, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and all the participating scenic spots go all out to create a lively atmosphere.

The second phase is three days, from the 16th to the 18th of the first month, only the first spring and the big moon lake continue to be carried out, because the lantern festival held around the moat and the commercial street needs to implement traffic control, and it is impossible to carry out it for a long time.

However, Boss Mu didn't have time to pay attention to the situation of the Lantern Festival all the time, and after lunch the next day, he flew to Pengcheng with the Mu family's team to prepare for Mu Xiaohui's wedding.

Mu Xiaohui and the groom-to-be came to the airport to greet them, and after taking everyone to the hotel to stay, they also led several representatives to visit the new house, and Mu Dong was of course one of the representatives.

The new house is not bad, the location is very good, the environment is good, the three-bedroom and two-living room house is enough to hold the dream of a young couple. The house was bought by the groom a few years ago, and now it seems that it is definitely an extremely successful investment.

In fact, Mu Xiaohui also has her own house, which has not been bought for a long time, and the slightly smaller two-bedroom apartment has a worse location. It's just that he bought it in full, and this kind of strength also makes the man feel very emotional.

After looking at the house, Mu Xiaohui also stayed in the hotel, chatted with the clansmen in the afternoon to discuss some small details of the wedding, and arranged a sumptuous dinner in the evening, which was very good.

Many people in the Mu family feel that Mu Xiaohui has really changed, becoming hardworking, kind, and thoughtful.

……

The next day, Mu Xiaohui got married from the hotel, and the convoy of nine Les-Royces still looked very bright in a first-tier city like Pengcheng.

The convoy was run by Wang Wei, and Pengcheng was his base camp, which was not difficult for him, and Mr. Wang would definitely not give up this opportunity to show favor to Mu Dong.

The wedding car walked around the street and arrived at another hotel, and the wedding celebration officially began.

The decoration of the celebration site is elegant and magnificent, and the wedding process is also warm and sweet. It's a pity that the sensational scenes in it still don't meet Boss Mu's aesthetics. Mu Xiaohui briefly shed tears, and Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu also wiped their eyes frequently.

If there is no such link, it is still very good overall.

At the wedding banquet that followed, Mu Dong drank half a catty of wine, basically reaching the upper limit of his drinking.

The bride, Mu Xiaohui, generally knows the amount of alcohol that the eldest brother drinks, and also knows that the eldest brother is not addicted to alcohol, so today the eldest brother has released the amount, she feels respected, valued, and very face-saving;

And for the groom, it is actually a little apprehensive. He has long known Mu Xiaohui's family background, and as a small accomplished cake shop owner, it is impossible to be without pressure on the richest family.

Now it seems that the Mu family is still very kind, especially the richest man's uncle, who is gentle and generous, and very kind, which makes the groom breathe a sigh of relief.

……

In the afternoon of the same day, the Mu family returned to Quancheng.

Early the next morning, the bride and groom rushed to Quancheng and went all the way to implement the custom of "returning to the door after marriage" and received a thoughtful and warm reception.

Mu Xiaohui inevitably felt some emotion in her heart, although she knew very well that those enthusiasm was aimed at the groom, but she still gave birth to a feeling of an outsider, which was not good, but she could only accept it helplessly.

On the third day, the bride and groom returned to Pengcheng and lived their own small life, and the whole process of the wedding was finally over.

……

At the same time, the summary materials of the first Quancheng Lantern Festival were sent to Boss Mu's desk.

According to the data, during the four-day exhibition period, the total number of visitors to the lantern festival reached 600,000, and it is worth mentioning that in the last three days of the lantern festival, the number of visitors did not decrease significantly in the case of the reduction of the exhibition area and the passing of the Lantern Festival, and the number of visitors on the first day was basically the same. In other words, the average number of visitors per day has reached 150,000, which is approaching the reception limit of the scenic spot.

Judging from the summary of sales in the scenic spot, the lamps, souvenirs, small commodities and snacks during the lantern festival exceeded 10 million yuan, and this number is not accurate at all, and the real number will only be greater. Moreover, on the first day of the Lantern Festival, the sales of shops around the pedestrian shopping street were not counted at all.

In addition, it is difficult to count the consumption of catering, accommodation, transportation and other expenses brought by these tourists, and can only be roughly sampled.

All in all, the first Quancheng International Lantern Festival was an instant hit.

……

On February 29th, Mu Dong was invited to participate in the high-level lantern festival experience summary meeting, Liu Jiande came to the meeting site, congratulated the successful holding of the lantern festival, praised the careful organization and comprehensive guarantee of all levels and departments, and spoke highly of the full undertaking of Dadong Tourism Company.

The meeting summarized the experience and looked forward to the future, and for the subsequent annual lantern festival, everyone paid more attention and had greater expectations.

And for Mu Dong, the second and third Lantern Festivals will have to think about making money.

To make money, you have to earn elegantly, to earn silently, as for charging booth fees or something, it is too low-level, and it is very likely to affect the enthusiasm of the participants, Boss Mu feels that there can be a better way.

For example, one or two car companies are allowed to participate in the lantern festival, such as accepting several wedding photography companies to participate, or some financial companies are allowed to participate in the exhibition, but no matter who it is, it must conform to the form and characteristics of the lantern festival and talk with the lantern.

All in all, quietly inserting some non-obvious advertisements, so that this small number of business customers can contribute the main income, is in line with the 28 principle, and will not make the ordinary people who visit disgusted.

However, for these problems, Boss Mu simply mentioned the ideas, and the specific things are operated by the people of Dadong Tourism. There is still a year left for the next lantern festival, and there is time to ponder new ideas.

……

In March, the weather warmed up, and Mu Dong began to prepare his own proposal, and the National People's Congress meeting will be held soon.

Mu Dong's proposal still focuses on the two directions of private economy and philanthropy, which he is more familiar with and easier to operate.

In the busy time, on March 2, Charm Xiuxiu was finally listed in Hong Kong.

Capital is greedy, but at the same time it is keen, because if you are not sensitive, you will not be able to smell money and ask, as for what money tastes like, it is a matter of opinion.

Hundreds of millions of registered users, nearly 500 million active users per month, will provide a huge and stable Internet entrance, directly docking with the e-commerce platform, can bring a very stable advertising income;

In addition, it is thought that the mobile phone project of the charm Xiuxiu will also rise, and under the promotion of the e-commerce platform, it will expand the market with a more professional team and more perfect technology, and the future is expected to be very optimistic;

In addition, Alibaba has discovered a new profit point, that is, the massive number of photos generated by Charm Xiuxiu every day, these photos are a global database of high-quality portraits, as long as they are used reasonably, they can form various profitable projects in the surrounding business of face recognition.

Alibaba, on the other hand, has its own cloud data center, so there is no pressure to run such projects.

Therefore, under all kinds of favorable factors, the stock of Charm Xiuxiu received a hot welcome as soon as it was listed, and it went all the way, and as of the close of the day, the stock price rose by 22%, and the market value of Charm Xiuxiu directly exceeded 7 billion US dollars!

Moreover, once some of these cakes painted by Ali Baba become a reality, the market value of Charming Xiuxiu will continue to rise, and the prospects are very promising.

In this way, the value of the shares held by Dadong Group will continue to rise. The investment strategy made by Boss Mu a few years ago will continue to prove to be correct.

……

On March 5, the National People's Congress was held, which lasted for 12 days and ended on the afternoon of March 16.

Boss Mu participated in the meeting very seriously, and the meeting at this level was still very in-depth, and it was worth listening carefully and thinking about it repeatedly.

During the meeting, on the evening of March 10, Boss Mu went out for a private trip and arranged some work for Beijing Future Technology.

The reason why she is in such a hurry is because Liu Wei is pregnant.

Counting up, Liu Wei got married on New Year's Day, and it was only a little more than two months, and she became pregnant with a child so soon, which is enough to prove that the rumors against Liu Wei's infertility in a certain circle at the beginning were vicious and had ulterior motives.

Of course, it also proves that Liu Wei and the former seafarers, the physical fitness of the young couple is very good.

……

Liu Wei's pregnancy is a big deal for the Liu family, even if she proves that her body is great, the family is still worried about the possible impact of the car accident, to put it mildly, Liu Wei's motherhood was stimulated, so she had to agree to the family's suggestion to suspend work to protect the fetus, in fact, this fetus is only a little more than a month.

With Mu Dong's approval, Han Yong, deputy general manager of Beijing Future Technology, stepped to the front desk and began to preside over the company's daily work.

Even though this is obviously a temporary job, Han Yong still attaches great importance to it. He is well aware that temporary qualifications are also qualifications. This is a gold plating, and as long as it is plated, it will not be scraped off.
