Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 166 Stealing the Star's Spotlight
"Ten, nine, eight... three, two, one, Happy New Year."

"Beicheng Hotel wishes the people of the whole country a happy New Year."

As the bells rang in the early morning of New Year's Eve, advertisements for the North City Hotel were simultaneously shown on the big screens in the Jiefangbei and Guanyinqiao business districts.

The red background with white letters is simple and elegant, and very eye-catching.

At the same time, the LED screens in the financial center's office buildings also sent out New Year's greetings, with the eye-catching words "Beicheng Hotel wishes the people of the whole country a happy New Year."

"Beicheng Hotel" became the brand with the highest presence in Jiangnan City on New Year's Eve this year.

It has entered the public eye of millions of people.

This is the offline advertising effect.

We are just starting to make progress online.

Every tourist who goes to the business district and Binjiang Road to celebrate the New Year basically has the words "Beicheng Hotel" in the photos taken with their mobile phones.

Whether it is Moments, short videos, or other social media, "Beicheng Hotel" is the most eye-catching background board.

Harvesting large amounts of private and public domain traffic at lightning speed.

The real explosion happened when CCTV News did special reports on New Year's Eve in various places.

CCTV host: "...The following are the grand scenes of New Year's Eve in various places..."

Jiangnan City’s New Year’s Eve was placed at the beginning of the news and was the most lively.

In the CCTV news footage, the four words "Beicheng Hotel" are also prominent.

It instantly became a hot search term.

"Beicheng Hotel? I think there's an advertisement for it in the photos I took."

"I haven't paid much attention to it, but this name seems to have appeared in front of me several times."

"Holy crap! I didn't know until I searched, and I was shocked! Jiangnan City's big screen New Year's Eve event was contracted by the North City Hotel. The brand must be incredibly wealthy."

"I remember, my favorite influencer visited this restaurant a few days ago."

“It’s highly praised.”

“4.9 rating on reviews.”

"The ceiling of Jiangnan City's catering industry? Take a chance and go experience it."

"..."

When those small internet celebrities and self-media saw the growing popularity, they responded quickly and immediately followed the trend to consume and visit the store.

Local influencer: "What's it like to eat at a restaurant that costs half a small goal? Today, I'll take you to a restaurant that's top-notch."

We-media company: "Family members, you may not know yet? The Beicheng Hotel MixC branch opened on New Year's Day. It claims to have invested half a small amount of money. Today, I will take you inside to experience its luxury."

Marketing account: “Oh my god, a restaurant has been all over the news.

My friends, this Beicheng Hotel is amazing. It chose to open on the same day as LV. LV has invited the Fairy Sister.

What is the North City Hotel trying to do? Steal the limelight from luxury goods and celebrities?

Marketing account: "Let's just say, can the North City Hotel be a little more low-key? Don't try to steal the limelight from our Fairy Sister..."

Accumulate strength offline and explode online.

On New Year's Day, the number of visitors to Guanyinqiao Pedestrian Street exceeded 800,000.

Among them, the opening activities of the LV flagship store in MixC and the flagship store in MixC North City Hotel were the most eye-catching.

There were huge crowds of people on both sides.

Tens of thousands of tourists gathered here.

Neighbors fight and tourists join in the fun.

But to be honest, even though the North City Hotel has done a good job in marketing, there are still more people coming to see Liu Yifei, after all, it doesn't cost anything to watch.

But it costs a lot to spend money at the North City Hotel.

Beicheng Hotel still took advantage of the traffic from luxury goods and celebrities.

The two stores are separated by a flight of stairs, about ten meters away. The square and pedestrian street are packed with people.

The executives of Vientiane City are the happiest.

This flow of people bodes well for the full operation of MixC.

Beicheng Hotel has a mature emergency plan and, with the cooperation of Vientiane City Business Management, serves every tourist who comes to dine and check in.

The number of people checking in is definitely the largest.

It has been recommended by many internet celebrities with tens of millions of fans, and has been reported by CCTV. Just taking a few photos here will make you popular.

What's more, you can take the opportunity to see the true appearance of the Fairy Sister.

There are four coffee machines on the large terrace in front of the North City Hotel today.

Tourists who check in for sightseeing can get free coffee, take photos and post them on WeChat Moments and short videos, and receive exquisite souvenirs.

"Hello, I'm not here to eat. I'm a fan of Liu Yifei. Can I have a cup of coffee?" a tourist came over and said.

The waiter looked at Xu Ru.

Xu Ru reacted quickly and wanted to take advantage of the star effect.

Nodding to the waiter, he personally went to help receive the coffee, “Fans of Liu Yifei can come here to receive coffee.

Our boss is also a fan of hers.”

This sentence soon reached the ears of other tourists and spectators.

"Free coffee for the opening of the business upstairs."

"Want to take a photo and post it on social media?"

"We're not here to check in at the restaurant, is that okay?"

"Yes, their manager said that all fans who support Liu Yifei can go get a free cup of coffee."

"..."

At the entrance of the LV flagship store, Liu Yifei's live event was coming to an end, and people began to move to the shops on the street nearby.

Liu Yifei herself also noticed it.

After finishing her announcement, she said goodbye to everyone with a smile, returned to the backstage, and curiously asked her assistant, "What's going on over there?"

The assistant said, "A restaurant is opening."

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, "Restaurant opening?"

What kind of restaurant opening makes such a big fuss?

The assistant nodded. "I checked online. It's highly praised, saying it's the top restaurant in Jiangnan City. Oh, by the way, they were just giving out free coffee to tourists over there, and the manager said the owner of the North City Hotel is a fan of yours."

All fans who come to support you today can get a free cup of coffee."

"What kind of coffee? Instant?" Liu Yifei asked as she sat down to remove her makeup.

The assistant took a cup and handed it to Liu Yifei.

"Beans imported from Indonesia!" Liu Yifei shook her head and said, "This boss is really generous. I thought it was instant coffee."

She also knew that the North City Hotel was suspected of taking advantage of her popularity, but this approach was very heartwarming. She was also very happy that her fame could bring some small benefits to her fans.

"Go to that restaurant and book a table. We'll have dinner there. I'm also curious about what the Jiangnan City Ceiling Restaurant looks like?" Liu Yifei instructed.

The assistant immediately went to do it.

Found Xu Ru to communicate.

When Xu Ru heard that Liu Yifei wanted to book a private room for dinner, she felt a little complicated.

Both excited and worried.

The publicity brought by celebrities’ check-ins to Beicheng Hotel is very strong. Moreover, these mature artists will not act impulsively like traffic idols like Zhang Han before. They all pursue a win-win situation.

But today's private rooms have all been booked, most of them for high-end business receptions.

Xu Ru said in embarrassment: "Hello, I need to communicate with Mr. Jiang. If it is convenient, let's leave a contact number. I will contact you after I make the arrangements."

The assistant left his work WeChat.

After the discussion, I went to the hotel to meet up with Liu Yifei. When I entered the room, I said, "That restaurant is too popular. The average cost per person is over 1500 yuan, and there's no table today.

The private room needs to be booked in advance and a deposit of 2,000 is required."

"Is business so good?" Liu Yifei asked in surprise.

While being surprised, I also really appreciate and respect the restaurant's actions, as they would not drive away other guests just because she is a star.

This is a kind of respect for customers.

"I'll have to come back next time to check in." Liu Yifei said regretfully, "Let's eat at the hotel tonight. Let's talk to the hotel."

The assistant nodded and was about to go to the hotel to order food when he received a reply from Xu Ru.

"Sister, the North City Hotel replied that they couldn't vacate the room at the Vientiane City restaurant, but another restaurant has reserved a private room for us."

Liu Yifei: "Is it a restaurant?"

The assistant nodded: "They also provide free pick-up and drop-off services."

"Is the past far away?"

"I checked, it's very close to the hotel and not far from the airport."

Liu Yifei: "OK, everyone has worked hard today, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

……

"Mr. Jiang, Liu Yifei and the others came to have dinner after the evening rush hour." Xu Ru reported after receiving the news.

Jiang Beicheng expressed his understanding, saying he was afraid of causing unnecessary attention and unrest.

"You go and make arrangements!" Jiang Beicheng gave Xu Ru instructions, then asked his personal assistant Shen Jun to drive to pick her up.

Wait until they have finished their meal and then show up and get to know them.

At nine o'clock, Liu Yifei and her assistant came down from the hotel and got into the car in the parking lot.

Mr. Shen received him politely.

A smile appeared on Liu Yifei's face. The restaurant was picking her up at high speed. Does this restaurant have such high standards for pick-up and drop-off?
The service is comparable to that of the Platinum Hotel.

It’s not that I think Mercedes-Benz is expensive, it’s just that it’s rare to see this kind of pick-up service in a restaurant.

Arrive at the restaurant.

The moment I walked in, I was infected by the waiter's enthusiasm and smile.

"This place is really nice! I like this new Chinese style." Liu Yifei said to her assistant and took a few photos.

Arriving at the box, the musician got up and packed his luggage.

"Hello!" Liu Yifei smiled and waved to greet them.

The musicians were very professional and maintained extremely high professional qualities in front of the stars. After they took their seats, they played their instruments.

As soon as the instrument started playing, Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Go Where the Wind Is"!

This is the first time I heard the Pipa and Guzheng versions.

It sounds good.

Actively applaud the musicians.

"Have you ordered?" she asked her assistant.

The assistant said, "It was arranged by this boss, Mr. Jiang."

"After dinner, go and pay the bill."

"Okay, sister."

When you are out, don't take advantage of this.

But she was also very curious, why didn't Mr. Jiang show up?
Aren't you a fan of hers?
A little unreasonable.

We should raise a toast to Mr. Jiang to thank him for taking care of his fans today and for arranging dinner.

Jiang Beicheng has prepared the restaurant’s signature dishes, which are appetizing at first sight.

"As usual, take pictures first!" Liu Yifei took out her phone and took a few photos. "It looks great, a bit like the Xin Rong Ji restaurant we ate at before."

"Hello, Miss, excuse me." Xu Ru knocked on the door and came in, greeting with a smile, "This is the red wine our boss, Mr. Jiang, gave to Miss Liu Yifei. Do you want me to open it for you?"

Liu Yifei looked at the red wine in her hand and said with a smile, "Fu Jiuyuan, your President Jiang has great taste.

Thank Mr. Jiang for me."

Clos Vougeot is the largest Grand Cru winery in the Burgundy wine region of France. It is a vineyard that has the exclusive honor of being awarded the Military Salute. Although the production area is large, the output is small, and most of the wine is supplied exclusively to the government.

This 10-cellar Clos Vougeot is not very high-end, but it is also expensive. Many celebrities in the entertainment industry also like the dry red wine from this winery.

Xu Ru sobered them up and let them drink slowly without disturbing them during their meal.

"This Mr. Jiang is really weird. Why doesn't he show up in person? Could it be a middle-aged uncle? Hahaha."

Liu Yifei patted her assistant and reminded him, "It's impolite to talk about people behind their backs. Mr. Jiang should be a successful man."
