Chapter 533: Good Idea?
At noon, the sun shines through the dense layers of elm leaves, sprinkling the sun on the ground, the sultry weather makes the air stagnant, the small stones lying on the road make a diligent sound and the burning heat of the heart, even the cicadas on the elm tree seem to have energy at this time, intermittently make a few weak chirps, the blurred outline of the white cloud blocks float leisurely in the blue sky, and the faint sound of reading in the distance faintly came, mixed in the fragrant wind that makes people drunk, and it makes people drowsy.
Wang Dafu sat sullenly in the lobby of the Happy Forest Hotel, looking at the open space outside the store with blank eyes, his dull gaze fully proved that the city lord of Green Willow City was now in a daze, and the silly figure combined with the annoying stuffiness of the Tiger in the last autumn made the atmosphere in the entire hall look extremely dull.
"Dalang? What's wrong with you these days?" The clear and soft voice suddenly broke the dull air and passed into Wang Dafu's ears.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing, hehe~~" Slowly turning his head a little stiffly, Wang Dafu smiled very reluctantly.
"Nothing? You've been sitting here like a door god for three whole days, and every day you're going to die, and you still say it's okay? You're a liar?" Xu was stimulated by this dull atmosphere, and the voice of the tall sister was much louder than usual.
"Hehe~~ Really, Sister Gao, it's really nothing, I'm just thinking about how to attract more popularity to Green Willow City......" Touching his nose, Wang Dafu replied honestly, although Sister Gao has always let him. But if you really start a temper, it is not something that can be described by an ordinary Hedong lion's roar.
"Attract more popularity? Is this necessary?" Sister Gao looked at the endless stream of people on the street with some confusion, and asked suspiciously: "Da Lang, is our Green Willow City still lacking popularity?" I think it's already overcrowded, right?"
It's no wonder that Sister Gao will feel misunderstood, as the first player city in the Eastern Continent and even in the entire Middle East, the most important place in Green Willow City should be the so-called "popularity", and many players hope to visit Green Willow City. And everyone who has been here will be attracted by the magnificent scenery and rich variety of specialties.
Mysterious, eerie glittering meadows. Towering World Tree, a cute emperor penguin...... No romantic girl can resist this strange temptation; Gorgeous and cool Western magic, amazing enchanted equipment, and a mysterious martial arts hall with amazing skills...... No man with a dream can ignore these fatal attractions, and every visitor to Greenwillow will find something that makes their heart flutter, and over time, the Greenwillow area has gradually become one of the most touristy areas in the entire Eastern Continent! The reason why it is a tourist attraction. Instead of settling in the Holy Land, it's entirely because the land price in Greenwillow City has skyrocketed, and the basic requirements for players to settle have soared to the "sky-high" price of 100,000 gold coins for a house.
A little helplessly looked at Sister Gao's words, Wang Dafu said half-deadly: "Quality, eldest sister, I said that the ground is quality!"
"Quality? What quality?" Sister Gao was completely confused by this guy, as a hotel owner and a businessman, she was still very satisfied with the gold content of tourists who came to Green Willow City. Everybody is willing to spend money!
"The quality of tourists ......" Wang Dafu sighed and continued to say half-dead: "Although ordinary tourists can bring us very good quality gold coins, but ...... Sister, although I like gold coins, I want to get some very good quality talents now!"
"Talent ...... I understand~~" After talking for a long time, Sister Gao finally figured out what was going on with Wang Dafu. It turned out that this man was worried about the lack of talents, and after hesitating, Sister Gao frowned and said, "Da Lang, do you have any plans?" Wang Dafu has been in a daze with her for more than three days, and she will not be naïve to think that Wang Dafu is simply in a daze.
Hearing Sister Gao's question, Wang Dafu did not answer and fell into contemplation, in fact, Wang Dafu already had several preliminary thoughts about recruiting talents.
If you want to recruit the right talents, there are only a few ways: wait for the master to send them yourself; Through the introduction of subordinates to know each other, and then find a way to solicit; Take the initiative to attack, send subordinates or set out on your own to find them; And then there's the attraction through some special events...... Generally speaking, these are the only ways.
There is no good or bad thing about these methods, but each has some drawbacks. Waiting for the help of the main brain though can definitely solve the problem. But the time consumed is difficult to master, and the level of talent obtained in this way is often very limited – the chances of high-level talent like Ma Jun appearing are rare. Usually they are junior talents like skeleton alchemists or silver-haired magicians.
It is a relatively safe form to be introduced by subordinates, and there is a certain guarantee in time, but the number is extremely limited, and it is the so-called "things are gathered by like, people are divided by groups", and the friends who are often contacted by existing subordinates are also the same type of talents, such as Lin Chong and Zhu Wu are all military talents, and Tang Bohu is a literati and scholars, so it is difficult to find new types of talents in this way.
This way of taking the initiative is actually the most commonly used way to collect talents by lord-type players at present, but the harvest is difficult to say, when you are lucky, you may be able to find a very powerful special talent without much effort, but when you are unlucky, you may try your best to get nothing, by the way, this way of relying purely on luck is one of the ways that Wang Dafu dislikes and despises the most, and a sentence he often hangs on his lips is: "The quality of luck is often inversely proportional to the brain capacity!" But then again, it seems that this guy has always had good luck himself.
Wang Dafu's favorite and most wanted to adopt the last method is the last one - attract through some special activities! All kinds of large-scale activities have been held in Lvliu City, whether it is the earliest "Xia Yuan Festival", "Music Event" or later "Flower Appreciation Conference" have left very good memories for Wang Dafu, every conference will have countless special talents from all corners of the automatic convergence to Willow City, every conference will also have a large number of gold coins from all corners of the automatic convergence to Willow City...... Through these few times, he not only harvested a large number of gold coins to earn a lot of brain fat, but also harvested Tao Yuanming, Tang Bohu, Jiang Yan, Zheng Banqiao and other top special talents, it can be said that it is simply Chiguoguo's "no capital billion"!
In fact, not only Green Willow City, but also many other territories have repeatedly won through similar methods, not to mention the most recent is the "Poetry and Wine Conference" that has just ended in the Jin Wen Empire, and the lord of that territory has also gained a lot.
So when Wang Dafu faced a talent gap again, his first thought was to do such an event again! But the question is...... To create such an event, there needs to be a proper "good" reason that can be recognized by the world, otherwise it will be difficult to invite real masters! Wang Dafu's dilemma now is - what reason to use this time?
After sorting out his thoughts, Wang Dafu casually told Sister Gao about his plans and hesitations: "I've been thinking about what reason I can use to hold a grand event these days?"
To be honest, there is definitely no problem with the qualifications of what grand event Green Willow City is going to hold, and because of the special attributes of the Fenglou - there is a phoenix to come, and then with the special building - Mingchen Fountain, the attraction of special talents is also quite sufficient, but as the so-called name is justified, if Wang Dafu can't come up with a more reasonable reason to hold this kind of event, then even if there is no problem at that time, it is difficult to say in the long run, after all, if the "event" is like a cabbage, it will be opened. So what's the point of a long time?
"Hehe, the reason~~ There is an oh~~ big brother here!" It was not Sister Gao who spoke, but Wen Xianglan, the godsister of Wang Dafu who had not appeared for a long time.
"Oh? Pandan, do you have any great ideas?" Since this Nizi's winemaking technique officially broke through the realm of the grandmaster, Wang Dafu rarely saw her, the little girl in order to make better wine, and at the same time in order to develop a new wine promotion technique, every day except when she went back to the city lord's mansion to sleep, she couldn't see anyone at all at other times, today she actually took the initiative to appear, and said that she had an idea, which made Wang Dafu really surprised.
"Big brother, have you forgotten? In more than half a month, it will be the Bon Festival~~" Wen Xianglan blinked mischievously and said softly.
"Bon ......" Wang Dafu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, Xianglan didn't say, he really couldn't remember this day, in fact, he didn't forget this day, but he didn't have any special impression at all, modern people have almost forgotten these ancient festivals.
At this time, without waiting for Wang Dafu to speak, the tall sister next to her had already said with a smile: "That's right! Darou, if you want to hold a celebration, isn't it just right for the Obon Festival?" Hearing Sister Gao say this, Wang Dafu couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately jumped up and went straight to the Senate.
He wanted to find someone to discuss whether or not he could hold an "Obon Festival".
