Chapter 32: How Could It Possibly Be Owned by Qin Lin! A New Sales Strategy Begins!

Many people turned their attention to the large outdoor screen in the square. The sea of flowers suddenly playing on the screen seemed to possess a natural allure, drawing everyone in. The "In-Frame" bonus attribute gave the footage a natural, artistic glow. As the camera zoomed in, the seven-colored symbiotic bougainvillea appeared even more elegant, vibrant, and enchanting.

More and more people in the square were captivated by the display, unable to resist stopping to watch. Soon, the model Gao Yaoyao appeared, dressed in a beautiful outfit. From the perspective of a visitor, she walked into the center of the flower sea and stood beneath the three high-quality, seven-colored symbiotic bougainvillea plants.

Surrounded by the "Ecological Harmony +3" attribute, butterflies danced gracefully around, and the sound of birdsong filled the air. Gao Yaoyao fed pine nuts to a few squirrels, creating a scene so harmonious it was truly eye-catching.

Gasps of surprise rippled through the crowd.

"There are so many butterflies dancing around the bougainvillea!"
"It’s rare to see butterflies in October, let alone so many gathered here. It’s beautiful."
"And those squirrels aren't even afraid of people—how adorable!"
"Where is this flower sea?"
"I really want to go!"

Clearly, everyone who saw the video was hooked, sparking a desire to visit this sea of flowers themselves.

Zhao Moqing and Li Jiawen were equally drawn in. They had seen flower seas before, but none had ever made such an impression through a mere video.

"Moqing, since when did Yucheng have a place like this? I really want to go!" Li Jiawen exclaimed. "I’ve decided, I’ll have to make your brother take me to see it sometime."

Zhao Moqing nodded. "Yes, I want to go too, but I don’t want to be a third wheel."

Li Jiawen laughed, "Just have Qin Lin take you. You’re giving him all your money for his startup; if he doesn't take you, he’s being ungrateful."

Zhao Moqing shook her head. "Qin Lin has been so busy with his startup lately. I don't want to distract him with things like this. We’ll talk about it later."

"You, really!" Li Jiawen was at a loss with her sister-in-law.

...

"This sea of flowers is actually in Yucheng? And it’s not even that far!"
"It’s at the old Fu Hai Villa. I’ve been there before."
"I've been to that villa too, but I had no idea it had a sea of flowers like this now."
"It's only a 30-minute drive. I'll make my boyfriend take me this weekend."

At the end of the video, the address appeared: Qinlin Villa. Many people instantly committed the name to memory.

Zhao Moqing was surprised. She knew Fu Hai Villa; a wealthy individual had bought it, and at the time, she felt it was a pity that 500 acres of land were left to go to waste. She had even told Qin Lin that creating a bougainvillea sea would surely be popular. She never expected that the person who bought the villa would actually go through with it, and it clearly must have cost a fortune.

Looking at the address, Li Jiawen said thoughtfully, "Moqing, why does the name 'Qinlin Villa' sound like a combination of your name and Qin Lin's?"

Zhao Moqing had noticed the name earlier and teased, "Sister-in-law, don't tell me you think this villa belongs to me and Qin Lin?"

Li Jiawen laughed and tapped Zhao Moqing on the forehead. "It’s nighttime, not the time for daydreaming."

Neither woman dwelled on the name further; after all, they knew the situation of Qin Lin's family—there was no way they could own such a villa.

The video began to loop, continuing for an hour. That night, many people who visited the Oriental Commercial Plaza were captivated by the sea of flowers.

However, the hour-long broadcast left other shop owners in the plaza feeling quite frustrated. They had previously tried to rent advertising time on the outdoor screen from RT-Mart, only to be flatly rejected with a curt, "Does RT-Mart look like a company that rents out advertising time?" Yet, here they were, leasing airtime to a villa. This sparked interest among many to find out how the villa owner had succeeded, hoping to follow suit.

Meanwhile, Qin Lin was focused on the game screen in his mind, controlling his character to water crops, eliminate pests, and pull weeds. Besides the 24 plots of level-one land still growing okra, he had planted strawberries on the level-two land, and watermelons on the level-three land. These weren't ordinary watermelons, but high-quality level-two seeds.

Aside from the okra, he didn't intend to wholesale the strawberries and watermelons to RT-Mart. Now that the villa was open, he could try out a new plan.

The next morning, Qin Lin woke up to find the okra, strawberries, and watermelons in the game fully mature. He checked the level-three land first: 25 watermelons. The yield per plot was about the same as before.

After harvesting the crops, Qin Lin entered the game, picked one up, and read the notes:

[Seedless Watermelon: Quality 2]
[Note: A high-quality watermelon produced by the game. In terms of texture, flavor, and aroma, it far surpasses level-one watermelons. It will make it impossible for you to control your taste buds. Deliciousness +2, Sweetness +2, Texture +2, Aftertaste +2!]

He set it down and picked up another. It was the same.

After inspecting them all, Qin Lin confirmed that the level-two seeds consistently produced quality-two fruit, and each one was large, weighing over ten pounds. He had previously considered the potential of mass-producing quality-two watermelons and selling them at the price of special imported fruit. With these seeds, that goal seemed within reach.

He had researched the prices of specialty imported watermelons. For example, square watermelons from Japan sold for 70 yuan per jin, black-skinned watermelons for 120 yuan per jin, and Italian crispy-heart watermelons for 100 yuan per jin. There were many such specialty fruits. Regardless of flavor, the fact that people were willing to pay these prices meant the taste and texture must be exceptional.

Yet, no matter how good they were, they couldn't compare to his quality-two watermelons. Why shouldn't he sell his for 100 yuan per jin?

After arriving at the warehouse, Qin Lin sent the okra to RT-Mart, though he set aside 200 jin for himself. Once the delivery was made, he returned to the warehouse and loaded the reserved 200 jin of okra, 310 jin of strawberries, five quality-two watermelons, five jin of quality-two strawberries, and ten jin of quality-two okra into his car.

He drove toward the villa, intending to test the market there. He would sell the quality-two watermelons for 100 yuan per jin and the quality-two strawberries for 200 yuan per jin, matching the price of imported premium strawberries. His, however, tasted far better. The quality-two okra would be priced at 400 yuan per jin, matching the rate he gave Manager Chen.

If these sold well, these quality-two items alone could bring him 28,000 yuan in revenue.
