Chapter 528: Blind Date Conference
Chapter 528: Chapter 528: Blind Date Conference
Today is the weekend, but quite a few employees, of their own accord, made all kinds of excuses to come to work overtime.
In front of the hotel, the tall stage has been completed, with a large piece of printed fabric erected on it. It says \'Jia Sheng Holiday\'s First Blind Date Conference\'. The organiser is listed first, as the City Women\'s Federation, followed by a long list of government departments, such as the Youth League Committee and the Civil Affairs Bureau.
There are only two contractors: Jia Sheng Holiday Hotel and Jia Yuan Wedding Company.
There are already quite a few people in the circle of chairs next to it, but most of them are elderly. There\'s nothing you can do about it. Those troublesome kids at home have thin skin!
These elderly people are quite professional and formal, just like those job-seeking fresh graduates, all of them holding resumes with their children\'s photos on them.
These details were also recommended in the newspaper when advertising this blind date conference.
The podium building is now an office building, and all the departments in the city that couldn\'t fit in have moved in. The windows are packed with people, both men and women. \'It\'s so boring, why are there only parents?\'
Zhang Qiuling still had to study during the day, Yu Lian was at work, and Xiao Zhijie and Wang Changning, both of whom were dressed in wedding company uniforms and carrying a water bottle, were walking around in the crowd. \'Uncle, auntie, do you have any water left? Do you want some more?\' The service was very attentive.
Mei Yiliang and Xu Bin held hands and also stood in front of the window watching this scene downstairs. \'I wonder how many couples in here will choose to have their wedding at a hotel in the future?\' said Mei Yiliang.
\'It\'s great to have a few couples at a time, but this has to continue. This move of Yiping\'s really achieves multiple goals: it strengthens the relationship with the units, and it advertises the hotel and the wedding company. He\'s right, no matter how many people end up choosing to have their wedding here, as long as they know about our company and our hotel as the best place in the province to hold a wedding, and our wedding company as the best in the province, then we\'ll be fine.\'
Xu Bin highly respects Feng Yiping\'s idea.
\'And I don\'t think Yiping\'s intentions are as simple as they seem,\' Xu Bin said to Mei Yiliang, smiling as he looked at the small shed in the middle of the property.
Under the shed, there were a few tables, one of which was of course for handing out the various packages offered by the hotel\'s wedding company.
The remaining tables were used to help record the information of these daters for free. The entries were very detailed and included family conditions, hobbies, and some thoughts and requirements for the other half.
The next time, the person who came to the blind date can, if they wish, check to see if there is anyone who matches her/his criteria.
This software was deliberately developed by Zhitong.
With the concert at the beginning of next month, the hotel\'s reputation will easily be established, but it will take some effort to ensure that the large banquet hall is always full, and that the wedding company, which has bought two luxury wedding car fleets, will always have a thriving business.
As everyone\'s lives gradually improved, there were more and more cases like Feng Yuxuan\'s. The children were in no hurry, but the parents were.
Later, in many places in the country, such as parks, there were some spontaneous or organised matchmaking events organised by relevant units. The provincial capital didn\'t have one, which was just fine.
As soon as Jiasheng mentioned this idea to the relevant units, he was immediately approved. Jiasheng was responsible for all the costs, and his own unit did not need to be present. Just by having a name on the list, they could leave a good impression on the masses and their superiors that they were concerned about the urgency of the masses and thinking about what the masses were thinking.
Moreover, Jiasheng repeatedly promised that as long as the event became a regular occurrence, they would set up a rain shelter for rainy days and a sunshade for the summer. They would also provide free tea and have staff on site to maintain order.
After delivering a pot of water, Xiao Zhijie and Wang Changning pushed their way out of the crowd and returned under the canopy. The two areas under the canopy were like two different worlds. In front of the wedding company\'s table, there were quite a few people, many of them parents, all of them holding brochures and asking for details about the set menus.
Although one glance was enough to tell that the cost of getting married in this place would definitely be high, what did it matter? Marriage is something that most people only do once in their lives, so it\'s normal to spend a bit more.
Besides, it\'s so much more grand and convenient to get married here.
Even if you\'re on a budget, it\'s okay to find out more, just like taking a stroll in a luxury store. You can\'t buy anything, but you can always be enlightened. When doing anything, don\'t you have to compare prices?
But the other tables, where people can come in and have their information entered for free, were deserted. The girls behind the tables were so cold that they could catch a cold.
\'Did anyone ask about your personal situation just now?\' Xiao Zhijie asked Wang Changning, but his eyes were darting around the crowded area, avoiding the parents who were worried sick about their children, as well as the smartly dressed unmarried young and middle-aged men, in his search for a potential match.
Surprisingly, there were a few, even if they were a little older.
This is related to the soft advertisements that the hotel has placed in newspapers in recent days, soliciting those from the relevant units. The hotel with the highest-end hardware in the provincial capital is organised by so many relevant units, so it must be of a decent standard.
\'I said why are you so enthusiastic? It turns out you still have such intentions. Qiu Ling is now in the provincial capital, so you must be careful and not get carried away,\'
Wang Changning solemnly admonished Xiao Zhijie, \'Think about how difficult it was when Principal Zhang came here in the first half of the year. If it weren\'t for Yiping\'s help, would you be so carefree now? Don\'t settle down for a few days and you\'ll get into trouble again,\'
Xiao Zhijie blushed a little, \'Don\'t you know me yet? I wouldn\'t even think about it now, at most I have the heart to do it, just to satisfy my eyes, just thinking that you\'re so handsome, no one would ask you a few questions if you had a daughter?\'
Xiao Zhijie is good at changing the subject.
Wang Changning pointed at his uniform and the water bottle in his hand, \'Do you think they care about people like us, who just serve tea and pour water?\'
Yes, in the eyes of those who came today, they are just two small fish, completely unqualified.
\'Do you think it will be effective if Yiping spends so much effort and even pays money to do this?\' Xiao Zhijie asked again.
\'It\'s hard to say if it will be effective, but it\'s always good to have more people come,\'
Wang Changning\'s words were insightful. What Feng Yiping was doing was the same as what some websites and companies would do later. Although there was no profit model yet and no one knew how to make money in the future, they would do whatever it took to attract more registered users.
After all, registered users were wealth, and everyone knew it.
\'I think the reason why not many people are entering their information is because it\'s free. If there was a fee, there would be more people,\' Xiao Zhijie said.
If Feng Yiping were here, he would really feel quite gratified. These two brothers really do understand him. What they said has actually revealed Feng Yiping\'s intentions.
Yes, the population is growing too fast, and the matchmaker is busy. Feng, who respects the elderly and is willing to help, plans to share his burden by setting up another matchmaking website.
\'I heard that Yiping also plans to set up a column with the provincial TV station?\' After watching the excitement for a while, Xu Bin asked Mei Yiliang.
\'It seems to be a dating programme, a variety show. Yiping has come up with a proposal, but it\'s still being discussed,\'
Since he wanted to help the matchmaker, Feng Yiping wanted to do the whole thing. Although the later programme \'If You Are the One\' had a lot of controversy and criticism, its ratings were higher than those of the fruit channel\'s programmes for a while.
However, it was still the first variety show focusing on matchmaking in China, and the provincial station was still undecided.
Of course, Feng Yiping, as a businessman, had no intention of hanging himself on the provincial TV station tree. The newly formed Jiasheng Media was already in contact with a number of domestic satellite TV stations.
\'Why isn\'t she here yet?\' Mei Yiliang looked at his watch. His sister and brother-in-law had said that he had to bring Yu Xuan along too. It was already this late, so why wasn\'t she here yet?
Feng Yuxuan had actually already arrived. She went straight from the garage to the upstairs floor. Looking down at the lively scene below, she felt a sense of belonging. So many people were in the same situation as her?
Her younger brother, four years her junior, had found a girlfriend a few years ago. It would be false to say that Feng Yuxuan wasn\'t at all anxious, but it seemed that fate had not yet brought them together.
However, she was really embarrassed to go downstairs among the group of people.
