Chapter 57. Check-in Activities

     After the “fishing support” was in place, ah no, after the employees were in place, Li Yaolin began to arrange the organization of the boat fishing activities.

 

     In fact, she didn’t need to supervise these things personally. Manager Qi and others were experienced and knew how to use this event to achieve the dual purpose of “both promoting the boat fishing project of Xingzhou Island and counterattacking the targeted actions of the sea fishing club.”

 

     Under his arrangement, the new employee Lao Li initiated an activity notification in the fishing friends group:

 

     [On October 3, Xingzhou Island will hold the first “Tuna Cup” boat fishing event. Ten anglers will be invited to participate for free. All anglers who can catch tuna will receive an annual ticket to Xingzhou Island! There are only nine places left, and everyone is welcome to sign up! (Note: Xingzhou Island reserves the right to interpret the event.)]

 

     At the beginning, the anglers who were still enthusiastically exchanging fishing experiences in the group suddenly became quiet. After a while, Lao Li’s mobile phone began to “ding dong, ding dong”, and kept ringing.

 

     He opened WeChat and was almost driven to a standstill by the applications and private messages to add him as a friend.

 

     He added in the group with a smile: “This quota is not predetermined. You can sign up directly in the group. I guarantee that the selection method is relatively fair and effective.”

 

     The fishermen in the group almost broke their heads for these nine places.

 

     In order to maintain a harmonious atmosphere in the group and for the group members to get along well, Lao Li said: “In this way, you sign up for the chain, and the first fifty will be the basis. I will have someone make a small voting program, and you can go to canvass for votes. After the voting time is over, I will send invitations to the nine people with the highest votes.”

 

     It took only more than ten minutes to sign up for the chain, and the number of people reached fifty. Lao Li saw that many of them were senior fishermen with many years of sea fishing experience, so he reported the list of people to Manager Qi with confidence.

 

     Manager Qi asked someone to make a vote, stipulating that each ID can only vote once, and the voting deadline is tomorrow night, that is, 24:00 on the evening of September 30.

 

 

 

     “Why is time so tight?!” The anglers wailed, and quickly forwarded it to their friends, family groups, etc., begging for help in voting.

 

 

 

     Relatives and friends of the anglers: “…”

 

     It’s just a free sea fishing event, do you need to be so humble?

 

     They really don’t understand what is so attractive about sea fishing that can make them so crazy.

 

     However, after seeing the organizer of the event clearly, they suddenly realized: it turned out to be organized by Xingzhou Island, so it’s not surprising!

 

     Some anglers who failed to sign up, while regretting that they missed this event, asked Lao Li very gossipingly: “Why are you organizing this event? And aren’t there ten places? How come there are only nine left?”

 

     Lao Li said generously: “Because there is still one place for me. I have now joined Xingzhou Island, so I am responsible for leading this event!”

 

 

 

     Anglers: “…”

 

     Envy and jealousy!

 

 

 

     They shouted: “You are already an employee, so you shouldn’t take up any quota. Go and beg your island owner to give you another quota!”

 

     Lao Li said: “That won’t work. After all, I have to participate in the event.”

 

     The fishermen wailed: “You are already an employee, why do you have to compete with us for annual tickets?!”

 

     Although they wailed, they were also glad that time was so tight. Many fishermen who didn’t have time to read the group message missed this event. With fewer competitors, their chances of being selected are greatly increased!

 

     There are also one or two fishermen who say that grapes are sour because they can’t eat them. They sang the opposite tune and said sour words in the group, saying that Xingzhou Island is fooling them. Tuna is not so easy to catch. It is unknown whether there are tuna activities in the surrounding waters. Xingzhou Island is just using them to help advertise.

 

     These sour words were ignored by the fishermen.

 

     Everyone knows that Xingzhou Island is warming up for the newly established boat fishing project. These anglers who can experience boat fishing for free are “chess pieces” to promote and advertise Xingzhou Island.

 

 

 

     But, so what?

 

     The prize for this event is the annual pass of Xingzhou Island!

 

     Since the development and operation of Xingzhou Island, it has never launched any monthly or annual passes. Only in this event, Xingzhou Island rewards annual passes, which means that annual passes are exclusive prizes that cannot be bought with money!

 

     The bank black card is a symbol of rich people, but the annual pass of Xingzhou Island is a proof of luck and strength. They may not be rich, but they have the opportunity to become the emperor of Europe!

 

     Some people asked doubtfully: “Will Xingzhou Island launch annual passes?”

 

     If Xingzhou Island launches an annual ticket, the annual ticket will no longer be a symbol of the European emperor, but may become exclusive to the rich.

 

     In response, Li Yaolin gave a clear answer: “In the next few years, Xingzhou Island will not consider launching monthly tickets or annual tickets. But Xingzhou Island will hold various activities from time to time, with rich prizes, which may be exclusive monthly tickets and annual tickets for activities, or free experience coupons and dining coupons for various amusement projects… You can follow our official blog and public account to keep an eye on our latest news.”

 

     Netizens shouted: “Xingzhou Island is awesome!!!”

 

     Not everyone can participate in the game of the rich, but every ordinary person has the opportunity to counterattack and become the European emperor by luck!

 

     Netizens finally understand why Xingzhou Island, although it occasionally attracts negative comments, always has a large number of passers-by fans, because Xingzhou Island does not engage in privileges. No matter who you are, you are relatively equal in front of the ticket, and you have to rely on hand speed and network speed.

 

     Regarding this “Tuna Cup” boat fishing event, although it was organized in a hurry, Li Yaolin’s main purpose was not to make it a super event. As long as there are anglers who can catch a tuna, she can use it as a gimmick to attract more anglers to Xingzhou Island to fish, thereby reducing the club’s advantage in boat fishing. 

 

     ——Since there is a chance to catch tuna in Xingzhou Island, why spend more than 2,000 yuan to go so far?

 

     As for those boat owners who cooperate with the club to cheat tourists, Li Yaolin believes that she can’t solve it alone, and official intervention is needed.

 

     It is related to the image of tourism in Youshi. If it is not rectified, the reputation of Xingzhou Island will be damaged, but the image of tourism in Youshi will be tarnished.

 

     The “wine-selling incident” in Lishi and the “sky-high seafood incident” in Qingshi once made the tourism image of these two cities fall to the bottom; and Qionghai’s tourism image was also damaged by the chaos in the diving market. So far, when people mention Qionghai diving, their impression is not very good.

 

     With all the lessons learned, I believe that the cultural and tourism departments are unwilling to let Yóushì follow the footsteps of these cities.

 

 

 

…

 

 

     The fishing activities are handled by her staff, so Li Yaolin puts her mind on the special tasks of the National Day.

 

     The system’s standards for popular scenic spots include the number of tourists received, popularity, search, attention, topic participation, etc. It does not measure everything by the number of tourists received, because with the current tourist capacity of Xingzhou Island, it may not be able to catch up with free scenic spots such as Yuhai Park even if it develops for another seven or eight years.

 

     “Popularity” is too abstract, Li Yaolin also skipped it and wrote down the search, attention and topic participation on paper.

 

     If she guessed correctly, “search” should refer to the number of searches on the network platform.

 

     “Attention” should be similar to “search”, and Baidu’s explanation of this term is “the degree of attention”, which refers to the current status and popularity. So it has one more requirement than search – popularity.

 

     The last “topic participation”, isn’t this combination the basic element of hot search and headlines!

 

     Li Yaolin thought that the boat fishing event on October 3 could be used to create a wave of popularity.

 

     At that time, some activities that all tourists can participate in can be held to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of tourists, which may indirectly increase the popularity of Xingzhou Island.

 

      It is a pity that this task was not released a few days ago, otherwise she could have prepared earlier.

 

     Suddenly, Li Yaolin patted her head when she saw the poster on the wall. The task was released temporarily, but the activity was planned by Xingzhou Island long ago!

 

     This activity naturally does not refer to the hastily held “Tuna Cup” boat fishing activity, but the “National Day Check-in Activity” that various departments began to plan to welcome the National Day half a month ago.

 

     Because the activity was planned by the Operation Department, Li Yaolin thought it was okay after reading it, so she asked Manager Qi to arrange it. After that, her focus has been on the development project, so she temporarily forgot about it.

 

     She forgot, but Manager Qi did not, so when it is time to post posters, post them. When it is time to promote online, arrange promotion.

 

     What Li Yaolin saw was a new poster that read “Celebrate National Day with great gifts. Check in at five scenic spots on Xingzhou Island and participate in the lucky draw.”

 

     The prizes for the lucky draw were also printed at the bottom of the poster, including a free stay in a holiday cabin for one night, a 50% discount coupon for the seafood buffet restaurant, a free diving experience, a free visit to the turtle hatchery, etc. Even “Poseidon” fishing gear and bait were on the prize list, and of course, there were some dolls and toys.

 

     There was no “Thank you for participating” option for this lucky draw, which means that as long as tourists successfully participate in the check-in event, they can get a prize.

 

     This will greatly increase the enthusiasm of tourists to participate in the event.

 

     Li Yaolin went to find Manager Qi and asked: “How is the promotion of the National Day lucky draw going?”

 

     Manager Qi replied: “We posted the event notice on the official blog, WeChat account and official website a week ago, and the details of the event have been announced.

 

     “To participate in the event, you need to post a photo of the numbered side of your ticket with the scenic spot on Weibo, with the tag of Xingzhou Island in the format, and also tag the official Weibo account. The official Weibo account will then privately chat with you, send you a lottery code, and you can participate in the lottery.

 

     “The response is good now. The number of visitors to the official blog has reached 200,000, and the number of fans has increased by 30,000. The number of people following the official account has exceeded 50,000.”

 

     Li Yaolin tilted her head and thought for a moment. Does Xingzhou Island have five scenic spots?

 

     The white beach and the sea fishing ground are only two scenic spots. If you add three diving spots, it can barely reach five. Not every tourist has the opportunity to check in at the diving spot, right? Will it be a bit difficult?

 

     She threw out the questions in her heart.

 

     Manager Qi: “…”

 

     Mr. Li, are you a little incompetent as the island owner?

 

     He thought about it and said, ‘How could the island owner not know what scenic spots there are on the island? After all, Xingzhou Island was developed by the island owner! The reason why the island owner asked this question must be from the perspective of tourists, asking questions to test me!’

 

     In order to prove that there are more than five scenic spots worth checking out on Xingzhou Island, Manager Qi directly took out the worn-out map of Xingzhou Island.

 

     First of all, there are the white sandy beaches and sea fishing grounds that were planned at the beginning and are currently the most well-known; secondly, there are the marine ecological special protection areas, the summer style gate, and the island road; the camping area can also be used as a scenic spot; finally, there are the “Haize” that occasionally appears during the day and the “sea fire” that randomly appears at night.

 

     “Does this gate count?”

 

     “It counts, why not? It used to be the gateway to and from the island, and it was the signboard of Xingzhou Island. Although the gate has now been moved to the pier on the opposite bank, it is still considered one of the scenic spots of Xingzhou Island! There are still many tourists taking photos and checking in.”

 

 

 

     Similarly, the island road is newly built, and there are many green landscapes along the way, and you can also interact with seabirds on the terrace, which is considered by the event planner to be a unique landscape.

 

 

 

     Li Yaolin: “…”

 

     It makes sense, and she can’t refute it.

 

     “In addition to the above free attractions, there are three diving spots with their own characteristics. Even if you don’t have money to go diving and check in, or you don’t have the good luck to encounter ‘Hai Zi’ or ‘Sea Fire’, there are still six free attractions to check in. It’s not difficult to get five attractions!” Manager Qi said.

 

     Of course, he did not remind tourists that “Hai Zi” and “Hai Huo” are also attractions. Whether tourists can find them depends on their imagination and luck.

 

     After all, attractions are not the focus. The main purpose of this event is to increase the popularity of Xingzhou Island.

 

     Li Yaolin thinks Manager Qi is quite cunning, no, quite smart. He deliberately did not let the event planner say which attractions meet the standards. The purpose is naturally to let tourists dig out more highlights of Xingzhou Island on their own.

 

     For example, the event only requires five attractions, but in order to increase the success rate, tourists will inevitably take more pictures of what they think are attractions and publish them. In this way, Xingzhou Island does not need to be deliberately promoted, and tourists will spontaneously help promote it.

 

     More importantly, the check-in event can make tourists move around and not stay in a certain attraction for a long time – I am talking about the white sand beach with massage.

 

     Now, half of the tourists who come to Xingzhou Island will choose to lie down and massage on the white beach, and this lying usually takes more than half an hour, which squeezes the space for other tourists to move around on the white beach.

 

     Li Yaolin praised: “You are more thoughtful.”

 

     Manager Qi said embarrassedly: “No, no, it’s all the island owner’s advice!”

 

     Li Yaolin: “…”

 

     Where did she give advice?

 

 

 

     Forget it, don’t listen to too much rainbow fart, otherwise it’s easy to be proud.

 

     She said: “Make sure no one will claim the lottery code.”

 

     “Mr. Li, don’t worry, the tickets are all real-name system, so no matter who sends the photo, the prize will eventually belong to the ticket buyer. When the prize is drawn, we will call the other party to notify. It’s just that the workload is a bit heavy, and the marketing and publicity team may have to work overtime.”

 

      Li Yaolin: “…”

 

     Are you sure that the phone notification will not be considered as telecommunications fraud?

 

     But if the other party doesn’t believe it, there’s nothing she can do. She can’t beg the other party to claim the prize just to give the prize away, right?

 

     She said, “Then let them work hard. The overtime pay standard is in accordance with national regulations.”

 

     “Okay!”

 

     Just after she finished talking about work with Manager Qi, Manager Song from the logistics support department came right after. He wanted to report to Li Yaolin about the arrangement of temporary workers and volunteers during the National Day.

 

     The number of tourists during the National Day increased sharply, and more security guards, safety officers, lifeguards and cleaners must be arranged to do a good job of logistics support.

 

     Li Yaolin frowned: “Haven’t the people been arranged yet?”

 

     Manager Song said, “The pre-job training conducted yesterday can be arranged today. This is the personnel position arrangement table.”

 

     After reading the arrangement table, Li Yaolin suddenly thought of one thing. If the criminals do something illegal on Xingzhou Island, she can find it in time through the APP and catch them while they are still on the island. But at the dock, even if she can find it in time, it will be too late when she rushes over to deal with it.

 

     She said: “We can arrange more people to go to the ticket office and parking lot. First, it is far from our office, and the security there is not as good as on the island, which is easy for scalpers, scammers and some criminals to take advantage of. “Second, all tourists will stay there for a while when entering and leaving the island. During this time, no one knows whether there will be any emergencies, so more people must be arranged there. Scalpers must be driven away, and scammers and criminals must be reported to the police in time to fully ensure the safety of tourists. ” 

 

     Manager Song was stunned, and a thin sweat appeared on his forehead unconsciously. He didn’t even think about this level. It seems that the peaceful and tranquil scene on Xingzhou Island has always lowered his vigilance. 

 

     “Yes, I will re-arrange it immediately. ” 

 

     Afterwards, the head of the hotel management team came to Li Yaolin to confirm the supply of ingredients for the seafood buffet restaurant. 

 

     Li Yaolin was afraid that she would forget, so she knocked on the little mermaid directly: “During the National Day, remember to help me wholesale seafood from the Poseidon Market.” 

 

     Little mermaid: “National Day holiday, overtime triple salary. “

 

     Li Yaolin: “…”

 

     Very reasonable, I choose to do it myself.

 

     The little mermaid: “The richer the island owner is, the more stingy she is!”

 

     “I don’t want you to work so hard overtime! During the holidays, you should go traveling, relax, and travel around the world… As for tourist attractions, I recommend the nearest popular scenic spot Xingzhou Island. After all, you are a mermaid, and it is most suitable for you to relax in the sea. Do you want to consider it?”

 

     The little mermaid: “…”

 

     Pah, I have never seen such a shameless person!
