Chapter 181 Bad News
When you are busy, time always passes quickly.
Li Anran, who was shackled from Du Mansion, first went to the "Chang'an Bus Terminal" to inspect the learning progress of the drivers. Although the training time was not long, fortunately, the electric tour bus was much more convenient than the car. In addition, the speed was also restricted and the road was repaired, so there were generally no problems.
The driver's learning progress also made Li Anran quite satisfied. He may still lack a lot of long-distance driving, but it is more than enough to drive an electric tour bus step by step between Chang'an City, Lantian County and the commercial street. There are three of them who are quite talented in driving and have begun to try to get into cars like pickup trucks under the guidance of Zhao Er.
After confirming that the "Chang'an Bus Terminal" was enough to meet the traffic needs of the Shangyuan Festival, Li Anran took the lead to the commercial street and the farmers' market. As soon as he walked into the boundary of the commercial street, he couldn't help but feel a festive and auspicious because of the big red lanterns, red silk and other decorations all over the street.
During this period, with the main management of Xiangyun and the assistance of Wu Chengen and Chen Boyu, the festival decoration, event preparation, material allocation, transportation arrangements, and advertising on the commercial street were all going smoothly.
Especially for advertising, when he decided to take advantage of the Spring Festival to give the commercial street a good start, Li Anran had already handed over the promotional and promotional methods of later generations to Xiangyun. He asked the other party to make choices and modifications based on the customs and habits of the Tang Dynasty. After all, modern time and space are still very different from the time and space of the Tang Dynasty. If there is a big problem, it will be unbeautiful.
With these unheard of commercial means, Xiangyun, who was originally smart, felt like he was in water. In a few days, whether it was Chang'an City or Lantian County, it was circulated about the Shangyuan Festival, Xinglong Commercial Street outside the city not only sold all kinds of snacks, goods, but also many activities, etc.
As for those rich people, landlords, and high-ranking officials and nobles in the upper class, they also received gold-plated invitations from Xiaoyao Villa. After all, these people are the real main consumers. As long as they can satisfy these guys, it is difficult to make less money.
In addition to the rich landlords, dignitaries and ordinary people, Li Anran also sent invitations to Li Shimin and a group of ministers through Cheng Chusi. Unfortunately, there has never been a clear letter to whether these people can come. However, it is not surprising that the Spring Festival is already lively and it is easy to have problems. There are many people who know the truth that a son of a daughter cannot sit in the hall.
After two more days of busyness, the Lantern Festival finally arrived.
In fact, the first day was not the real fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but the fourteenth day of the year. However, the Shangyuan Festival of the Tang Dynasty did not refer to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but included two days before and after, and a total of three days belonged to the Shangyuan Festival.
On the 14th day of the first lunar month, three fully enclosed electric tour buses were parked there early at the north gate of Chang'an City and the west gate of Lantian County. Because I had received the news before and had seen it several times during the trial run, I did not make too much noise about this strange-shaped "wooden ox and flowing horse" guarding the city.
The bodies of these electric tour buses are sprayed with the words "Chang'an Bus". On the left side of the front and rear of the car, the words "Erlu" are sprayed with the words "Erlu" are sprayed with. At the same time, near the door close to the passengers, there are also large red characters "North Gate of Chang'an City? Xinglong Commercial Street" and "West Gate of Lantian County? Xinglong Commercial Street".
On the commercial street, Li Anran, who had traveled through early, took Xiangyun, Su Xiaomei, Wu Chengen and others to conduct a final inspection of each store street. Some small problems can be solved if they can be solved. If the problem is relatively large, temporarily remove the involved projects to avoid problems as much as possible.
After walking around, even if there was an electric patrol car for transportation, the group would watch while walking and taste the delicacies in the shops from time to time. As a result, not only did they sweat all over, but their stomachs were full.
"Yun'er, try this quickly. Is it sweet or not? It feels delicious when applied with this sweet sauce." He held a large paper cup in his hand, and in the cup was a few skewers of snacks he had just taken from the Guandong Cooking Shop. Su Xiaomei also put the skewers in her hand towards Xiangyun's mouth.
"Mei'er, I'm very full, so you'd better eat it." Xiangyun, who had already enjoyed snacks such as fried buns, Huangqiao Seed Bread, Babao Porridge, etc., said half enviously and helplessly.
There is no way not to envy. Since Su Xiaomei went to the upper realm, her appetite has improved a lot. And no matter how she eats, her body shape will not be fat. With those physical exercises, her figure has become better than before.
Even if you put aside these "fatal" benefits for women, just thinking that they are the same Taoist couple but they do not enjoy the same treatment, Xiangyun didn't dare to have any resentment or resentment towards his young master, but envy and jealousy are inevitable.
"Oh, then I'll eat it myself, it's really delicious." Su Xiaomei, who stroked the bamboo sticks with sweet or spicy skewers in her mouth, looked silly, and could not tell the cleverness she had shown in front of Li Anran before, as if she was back to her heartless time.
Xiangyun, who was busy working on the commercial street for this period, did not expect that his good sister was different. She just shook her head and looked at someone sitting in front of her.
In order to solve possible problems in a timely manner, Li Anran also specially sent people to establish a temporary communication point on the new road leading to Chang'an City and Lantian County. He used wireless intercoms to conduct long-distance conversations.
After a while, Li Anran took the group beside her to the elegant seat on the third floor of the restaurant Dewei Building, which was the main restaurant, and planned to take advantage of the terrain here to see how big the scene he could have with his spare time and spent a lot of energy this time.
As time goes by, many villagers who have not yet opened the city gates of Chang'an City and Lantian County have gathered in front of the city gates. These villagers are either carrying shoulder poles or driving ox carts, but they just carry bamboo baskets. The purpose is that they naturally want to sell the wild game, mountain goods, medicinal materials, firewood and other things they carry to the city for sale and paste for household use.
The attention of these people was attracted by the huge banner on the electric tour bus parked by the roadside to take passengers. Unfortunately, the people of this era really didn't know much literacy. But it doesn't matter, the staff stationed at the temporary bus stop outside the city gate also used a loudspeaker to broadcast the contents on the banners and activities about the commercial streets in turn.
It is said that this is a free shuttle bus and a comprehensive publicity, and the effect should be very good. Unfortunately, there is a saying that is good. Ideals are full, but reality is very skinny! Although it has indeed attracted the attention of many people, some people have come forward to inquire about the news, but after playing the radio for two quarters of an hour, even a customer has not been able to reach it.
As almost the same news was passed back to the commercial street from outside Chang'an City and Lantian County, after the tallest building, Dewei Tower, Li Anran had already predicted in advance that his too avant-garde marketing method was not necessarily suitable for the needs of the time and space of the Tang Dynasty, but this "skinny" reality still made him very depressed.
"Young Master, what should I do?" After waiting for half an hour, Xianggui found that the situation had not improved, and couldn't help but ask with some concern.
"Don't worry, those who come out so early are all people who are busy with their lives. It's nothing strange that they can't accept our publicity. Is everything difficult at the beginning? Even if the people don't come, it's already considered successful to be able to bring those rich business landlords and dignitaries over there." Li Anran, who was depressed but still calm, said with a smile.
"But young master, if the publicity plan on the commercial street is not effective, will there be a shortage of customers in the farmers' market? At that time, even if we exempt the first month of rent and can be tried, no one is willing to come over again, right?" Xiangyun, who has devoted almost all his energy to this area during this period, still couldn't say calmly.
Just as everyone was talking, one of the walkie-talkies on the table suddenly sent good news. It was said that a group of wealthy businessmen had already taken their families on the free shuttle bus, and they were rushing to the commercial street, hoping to pay attention to reception on the commercial street.
