It was raining, and everyone would not be able to leave Songshan Cultural and Creative Park for a while, so Shen Manni proposed to go to the Eslite Hotel next to it to take shelter from the rain.

Since you enter other people's hotels, you can't just sit on the sofa in the lobby, and from the floor-to-ceiling windows, just the decoration style of the lobby bar is very attractive, and it is perfect to order a cup of coffee.

Not only is the lobby decorated in the style of Eslite bookstores, but the atmosphere is also the same.

From the appearance of the hotel, it is not difficult to see that the positioning here should not be lower than any 5-star hotel, and in Taipei, there are not many hotels with lake views and cultural parks, let alone in the city center.

It is a well-known hotel in the Cultural and Creative Park or Taipei, and it is also one of the most expensive hotels in Taipei.

But it's still 4 stars, which can be called low-key luxury.

The four-star hotel is similar to the hotel they stayed in Dazhi Street before, but the two hotels are really not equal in terms of hardware.

Of course, hotels are not only about hardware, but also about software services.

If you don't have a luxurious building, you will definitely be able to become a five-star hotel.

Moreover, it is also a five-star hotel, and the domestic five-star hotel is also different from the internationally famous five-star hotel brand.

Of course, Lin Zhengrong has no way to evaluate the software of Eslite Hotel, because he has never lived here, where can he afford to live when he is an exchange student, and now he can afford to live, and he does not have this opportunity.

So it's really hard for him to evaluate its facilities and services, but judging from the performance of the lobby bar, Eslite Travel should not be selling luxury routes, but a kind of mysterious positioning like high-end literature and art.

If you compare it with a high-end hotel in the traditional sense, it may be more similar to Four Seasons or Mandarin Oriental, and the positioning is not the same as that of a super luxury hotel like the Yenching Hotel.

Therefore, the positioning of the hotel is more suitable for petty bourgeois youth or literary youth.

Sometimes, there are no boundaries between these two groups.

The lobby bar is almost the iconic landscape of Eslite Travel, always maintaining the atmosphere of Eslite culture, and thousands of books form the background wall behind the bar, which is very visually impactful.

When people enter the lobby, they subconsciously ignore that this is a hotel, which seems to be a bit unprofessional on the surface, but it is also a good business attempt to integrate with the bookstore culture.

The lobby bar is readily available and in some ways looks like a library rather than the lobby of a fancy hotel.

Using books as the theme of the hotel lobby, Lin Zhengrong This is the first time I have seen it, and the book is combined with the modern and simple design furniture to form a different kind of high-end feeling.

This kind of decoration style is indeed very forced.

It will not be like the Yenching Hotel, which is resplendent and blinds the eyes of tourists, and it feels like entering the Grand Palace when entering the inside.

So the atmosphere of the lobby bar, Lin Zhengrong really likes it.

The other girls also exclaimed.

It's not uncommon to have books piled up all over the walls, but if you're a hotel, it's rare.

Of course, if there is the word Eslite in front of this hotel, it is not very unusual.

Therefore, even if the hotel is still in line with the commercial positioning of Eslite, it still uses cultural temperament to represent the high-end positioning.

In essence, it is still selling cultural atmosphere, however, this method does pull similar hotels far away.

This kind of cross-border combination is estimated to be only possible with Eslite.

The word "cultural atmosphere" seems to have become one of the synonyms of Taiwan in the eyes of mainland tourists.

This can be seen from Eslite, and similarly, Taiwanese people are willing to promote their uniqueness outside.

After all, the economy is not good, and we can only fight for culture.

It is also a product of the times.

The concept of a cultural merchant is not new, and there is nothing wrong with selling culture as a commodity, but if you want to succeed, it still depends on who really integrates culture as an important element into the business, rather than piling it up randomly.

In this regard, Eslite is certainly a pioneer.

It's not easy to be successful after losing money for more than ten years.

Lin Zhengrong is not good at business things, he is essentially a fashion designer with a little talent.

However, this time I walked around the cultural and creative park, and I was really touched.

It happened to be raining outside, and it was indeed a nice treat to chat and sit down for a coffee in the hotel lobby bar.

On rainy days, coffee and reading books are indeed more compatible.

It's even more emotional than reading a book in Eslite.

In a luxury hotel, few ordinary tourists will be willing to enter it to consume, and even if you drink coffee, it will be much more expensive than outside.

That's a big threshold.

Most tourists will be shut out, whether they are traveling alone or in a group, and if they are just traveling, Eslite travel is not a very affordable option.

Of course, there is no problem at all for an official delegation like the Yanfu Exchange Delegation, and even if Lin Zhengrong stays here on a business trip in the future, there is no problem at all, but it is okay for individual tours.

Staying here or spending here is really expensive.

For their group of friends, it was indeed a good experience.

When we set out in the morning, there were almost twenty, but now the number has been halved, and there are less than ten.

Lin Zhengrong and Sun Xu, plus the four girls in their dormitory, plus Shen Manni and her best friend, there are eight people in a gang.

From twenty to eight, the line did shrink a lot, but basically, it didn't shrink anywhere anymore.

Sun Xu will definitely be with Lin Zhengrong, and Li Li and Han Bailing and the other two girls in their dormitory, Zhang Tong and Li Mengmeng, will not be separated.

Shen Manni and her best friend joined, and the most important willingness was Lin Zhengrong.

So everyone was able to get together, and Lin Zhengrong's contribution was indeed not small.

The rain in April was not too long, and the rain stopped after half an hour, so after almost an hour in the lobby bar, everyone moved to the second destination again.

The second destination is the small arena next to it.

Taipei Arena, the full name of Taipei Arena Gymnasium, is Taiwan's first international large-scale comprehensive gymnasium, divided into the main hall and the auxiliary hall, the main hall is a multi-functional gymnasium, which can meet the needs of large-scale activities such as sports competitions, exhibitions, art performances, concerts, and gatherings.

It is of a similar type to the Hung Hom or Yenching Bird's Nest in Hong Kong.

The Little Arena is really not far from the Cultural and Creative Park, and even outside the warehouse in the park before, you can look up at the Little Arena.

Located at the intersection of Nanjing East Road and Dunhua North Road in Taipei City, it is an important landmark to enhance the healthy image and internationalization level of Taipei City.

Lin Zhengrong: In the past, they didn't just visit, they came to see the concert.

It just so happened that there was a well-known local rock band in Taiwan that everyone was familiar with, and a concert was being held.

And the lead singer of this orchestra is the star seniors of Shih Chien University.

He is one of Han Bailing's favorite singers.

It's hard to come across this kind of opportunity, and everyone doesn't want to miss it.

Their concert tickets were not purchased by Lin Zhengrong in advance, nor were they chestnuts.

It's Han Bailing.

As a suitable fan, she must know when her idol's concert will be held.

So before they came, the four of them had already purchased tickets for the concert, and even Lin Zhengrong's and Sun Xu's tickets were bought in advance with their help.

That's why, only their small team of six has not returned to the hotel until now.

As for Shen Manni's ticket, the lead singer of the orchestra went out of Shih Chien University after all, and there is a fan support group in the school, and if you want to buy tickets, there is no problem at all.

Or even go through internal channels.

Lin Zhengrong really didn't know that Han Bailing liked this orchestra before he came, so he bought tickets in advance, which was a small surprise given to him by Xiaoniao.

All help Han Bailing to go to the concert, it must be indispensable with chestnuts, naturally, Zhang Tong and Li Mengmeng are also indispensable, Sun Xu will not talk about this goods, which is why Ma Yiheng can't come to Taipei with a look of annoyance.

But to be honest, when Lin Zhengrong knew that Han Bailing was buying concert tickets without his help, it was impossible to say that he must not have been moved.

Everyone knows about it, and only he knows it later.

Little girl, for this dress, she also hid it deep enough.

As for why she was willing to help him buy tickets, in Han Bailing's words, even if she thanked him for the dress he designed for her.

Well, the reason is really reasonable.

There are many singers who can hold concerts in the Little Arena, but if the fame does not reach a certain level, it is very embarrassing to hold a concert in such a large stadium.

The audience who came was much smaller, and I couldn't even recover the cost of the concert.

But today's rock band is still famous in Taipei, although it has passed its peak of that year, but if you want to hold a concert in the Little Arena, you still have a qualification.

I spent more than 1,2000 yuan a month to buy an admission ticket to the middle area of the venue.

Not too expensive.

In fact, the pricing of tickets is still related to the location, if a very popular singer holds a concert, it will definitely be difficult to find a ticket, and even derive the so-called sky-high tickets.

Of course, these are all the credit of scalpers.

If Han Bailing didn't buy tickets in advance and really wanted to go to the concert, then Lin Zhengrong wouldn't mind going to find scalpers.

Where there is demand, there is the soil for the birth of cattle.

This kind of thing is not unusual at all.

As for Shen Manni's tickets, they are more purchased through internal channels, although they are the head of the Shih Chien University fan group.

From this point of view, if you want to be a scalper in practice, Shen Manni is definitely the most suitable.

Lin Zhengrong has been to the Little Arena a few times, but it is the first time to go to the Little Arena to watch a concert.

It's the same as the previous reason that there is no way to stay in Eslite Travel, it's all because of lack of money.

When you have money, you basically don't have such time to toss.

Therefore, the best time in life is in the four years of college, you can toss and turn wildly, of course, the four years of college are actually very sad.

A lot of time, even if there is no money.

If you look in arrears, then life is even more tragic, no money, no girlfriend, single dog, staying in the dormitory as a masturbation man is the best choice.

As for playing, play with an egg.

Lin Zhengrong has been in college for a few years, but he is not so sad.

He is not extremely poor, nor is he ugly, nor is he short.

Even if I don't want to toss my parents' money, I'm still struggling to make ends meet.

The main thing is that the living expenses and pocket money are used by him to toss the fabric.

Therefore, even if you come to Taipei as an exchange student for half a year, you go to Alishan and go to Sun Moon Lake, you are all poor travelers.

Tossing and turning with a group of exchange students from the mainland, on the contrary, the intersection with Taiwanese students is not large, a bit similar to Chinese students going to foreign countries, and most of the social circle is limited to domestic students.

In the past, Lin Zhengrong's social circle was indeed very narrow, and his sense of presence was really not high.

It is also normal to not be able to integrate with Taiwanese students, which is why Shen Manni will say that he has changed too much, just like changing someone.

It has been several years since the orchestra held a special concert at the Arena, so after a gap of 5 years and 351 days that fans in Taipei have been waiting for many years, the orchestra will return to the Taipei Arena and will also bring a unique performance, which is to challenge the climax of their classic concert.

"Reproduction" of the memory of the vivid.

For Lin Zhengrong and them, the entire orchestra is the youth of their generation, not limited to Taipei, and for many young people in the mainland, the songs of the orchestra are the youth memories of most people.

This is also the reason why Han Bailing will say that he cries when he hears their songs at night.

Concerts are a laborious and bad thing for many singers.

For singers who don't have fan appeal, large-scale concerts will lose money.

It is not easy for the organizers to make a profit from the tickets.

However, for some singers, large-scale concerts are indispensable, and for newcomer singers, large-scale concerts are the existence of qualifications.

It's like in the mainland, if you don't hold a concert in the Bird's Nest, you are embarrassed to talk about your famous singer.

The same is true for Hong Kong and Taiwan, whether it is Hung Hom or Little Dome, it is of great significance to them.

Old singers, if they don't hold a large-scale concert, may be forgotten by the outside world.

You must know that the entertainment industry is changing so fast.

They also need constant exposure, don't just get really cool.

Of course, it was not easy for the orchestra to hold a concert at the Little Arena again after a five-year absence.

This is a very rare opportunity for many fans.

The same is true for the organizers.

Youth memories can be sold.

Rock wasn't much popular in this day and age, let alone rock bands.

But the fact that the band was able to fight their way through the era when rock 'n' roll was not popular throughout the season is already a good indication of their power.

But the occasional line will also get old.

They're not a bunch of little fresh meat.

Lin Zhengrong is really worried about them, when the time comes, the entire 10,000-person gymnasium will be empty, and it will be embarrassing.

His fears turned out to be unfounded.

There are still a lot of fans.

I even met many tourists who came from the mainland to watch the concert.

The perseverance and determination of brain-dead fans are indeed very strong.

He is not a fan, and for him, the important thing is still the people who accompany him to the concert.

It's like accompanying Han Bailing and them to watch the show at the fashion week show before, which is the same experience.
