Chapter 63: Daily Sales Exceed 250,000! Too Many People, Traffic Restrictions Imposed!

Daily Revenue Exceeds 250,000! Too Many Visitors Force Visitor Flow Restrictions!

Today, the number of tourists received by the resort had unexpectedly broken through the 1,500 mark, reaching 1,512, with ticket sales alone bringing in 76,050!

The Quality 1 okra, Quality 1 yams, and Quality 1 broccoli he retrieved from the game were almost completely sold out. With two harvests matured per day, there were 1,650 catties of Quality 1 okra, 900 catties of yams, and 750 catties of broccoli. All priced at 15 yuan per catty, the total came to 49,500 yuan.

A total of 1,250 catties of Quality 1 strawberries and 68 Quality 1 watermelons were completely sold out, alongside 11 Quality 2 watermelons sold, totaling 82,920.

Additionally, rentals for fishing rods, stoves, BBQ grills, wild fish, grass sliding, jungle adventures, and other activities generated a total of 23,650.

Furthermore, the fruits and seafood wholesaled from Lin Chong and Wang Wei not only saw an increase in the variety of fruits these days, but the quantities of various seafood types were also adjusted from 30 catties to 100 catties, bringing the turnover to 23,875 yuan.

Today, the resort's total revenue reached 254,485 yuan.

The vast majority of this was zero-cost business produced by the game.

However, even with daily revenue surpassing 250,000, each tourist's consumption at the resort actually averaged only 160 yuan.

This represented an extremely poor level of spending power.

Even considering his family's financial difficulties, working part-time to earn a little money, taking Zhao Moqing on a short-distance trip close by would cost more than 160 yuan.

Therefore, in this regard, the resort was truly shameful; who could blame it when the resort's recreational facilities and consumption items simply failed to keep up.

Right now, the resort's reception capacity had reached its absolute limit. This explosive growth meant not only that the staff were completely overwhelmed and more people needed to be hired, but the carrying density of the sea of flowers had also reached its limit.

Qin Lin said helplessly, "Moqing, use the resort's official Douyin account to post a notification. Starting tomorrow, restrict the visitor flow to the bougainvillea sea, only admitting 1,500 tourists. Then please ask everyone for their understanding, and by the way, promote the Youcheng Scenic Area, which is closer to us."

"Okay! I'll have Yaoyao shoot a notification video later, go back, edit it, and publish it!" Zhao Moqing nodded, then said with some worry, "This will probably make a lot of tourists dissatisfied."

"There's no help for it!" Qin Lin said helplessly.

Becoming popular too quickly and lacking foundation in the resort was just like most grassroots internet celebrities who suddenly blew up; taking too big a step meant a sudden cool-down.

The closer it got to this point, the more the resort needed to pull back its steps. After all, the bougainvillea sea was a viewing attraction; once the density exceeded the carrying capacity, the viewing experience would be ruined.

Zhao Moqing knew this as well and went to find Gao Yaoyao to shoot a video. With no other choice, she and Qin Lin were the type of people who felt awkward in front of the camera, so they had to draft Gao Yaoyao, the pure and cute lead hostess, as temporary labor.

At night.

As soon as she returned home, Zhao Moqing sat in front of the computer to start editing and filming the video, and also needed to find pictures to recommend the Youcheng scenic spots close to the resort.

She wasn't very proficient in video editing either. She felt that once it reached a certain scale, she should have Qin Lin hire a professional video editor, especially since the followers on the resort's Douyin account were growing very fast and heading straight for 400,000.

Qin Lin cut a plate of cubed Quality 2 watermelon into the room, picked up a piece with a toothpick, and fed it to Zhao Moqing's mouth: "You've worked hard, have a piece of melon."

Zhao Moqing opened her mouth to eat the watermelon and said meaningfully, "My shoulders are very sore."

"I'll massage them for you!" Qin Lin immediately caught on, extending both hands to massage Zhao Moqing's shoulders.

"Woo woo woo!" The sound of the dog rang out as it ran in, placing its paws on Zhao Moqing's lap with its head poked forward to look at the watermelon with a clear objective.

Zhao Moqing stroked Wangcai's head, picked up a piece of watermelon with a toothpick, and fed it to Wangcai's mouth.

"..." Seeing this, Qin Lin sighed silently in his heart: he served his wife, and his wife served the dog.

He suddenly realized his family status was worrisome.

After editing the video, Zhao Moqing uploaded and posted it on Douyin.

Under trending searches like Qinglin Bougainvillea Sea, videos posted by the official Qinglin Resort account easily hit the trending lists. Before long, many people scrolled past it.

The next day, when Qin Lin got up, he found that Zhao Moqing was already awake.

"You woke up so early, why didn't you sleep a little longer?" Qin Lin asked with a yawn.

Zhao Moqing said, "We posted the notification yesterday, aren't you worried about being scolded?"

Qin Lin thought about it and realized it made sense. After all, if I wanted to come and play at your place, but you told me the number of people was limited, anyone would have opinions.

He also took out his phone to check the status of the video posted by the resort's official account last night, but the situation he feared—being scolded—did not happen. Instead, there were many favorable reviews and various suggestions beneath the video:

"The resort owner has a macro perspective. The bougainvillea sea has a limited guest capacity, and the resort has no extra projects. Limiting the number of tourists is the best choice, otherwise it ruins the viewing experience."

"The boss limited guests for the sake of tourists' viewing experience; at least he didn't treat tourists like leeks to be harvested. Other scenic spots might have just ignored it regardless."

"I hope the resort can set specific time slots so that we out-of-town tourists don't make a wasted trip!"

"Open up online ticket booking! We'll book tickets before going so we won't make a wasted trip!"

"..."

"It seems no one is scolding us!" Zhao Moqing said in surprise, holding her phone.

"Yeah!" Qin Lin also nodded. He originally thought they would be scolded, which made him feel that he was falling behind the rhythm of the internet.

On the contrary, quite a few scenic spots were stepping up their efforts, and he scrolled through several videos where other attractions stated that their bougainvillea seas did not limit guests.

Still, not being scolded was a good thing.

He looked at the light screen in his mind. Those crops had all matured. He controlled the game character to harvest the mature crops and put them into the storage room, then planted new seeds again.

Next, he controlled the game character to enter the mountain. The pure wild honey had respawned. True to the original game, this wild honey respawned almost every day.

This actually gave him an idea for a new money-making project.

Moreover, after searching around in the woods, there were another 3 nests of wild honey.

After harvesting all the honey and putting it into the storage room, he got up, ate some porridge cooked by his mother, and headed to the warehouse.

As soon as he arrived at the warehouse, a thought flashed through his mind, and he entered the game, heading to the storage room and going straight to the container holding the pure wild honey.

Yesterday it was 90 catties, today 90 catties. Excluding the one catty he took out yesterday, there were already 179 catties of honey in the container.

Thinking of yesterday's honey water, he could completely launch a honey water project at the resort, using medicinal honey as a gimmick for promotion. Nowadays, a cup of milk tea in many scenic spots cost 20 yuan; wouldn't his honey water be better than milk tea?

With this thought, Qin Lin formed a plan in his mind.

Transporting the matured crops to the resort in batches, he went to the supermarket again to buy some large transparent containers, entered the game, and filled them with the pure wild honey.

Youcheng.

As soon as Chen Li went to work, he met with a middle-aged man at the Tourism Bureau.

"County Magistrate Sun, this is the supporting fund material for Qinglin Resort. According to the three supported projects discussed, the funding might reach 23 million. The most expensive should be expansion projects like the honeymoon cave accommodations and restaurants, followed by the rafting project, and the floral sea project is the cheapest."

County Magistrate Sun took the materials, looked them over, and said, "Director Chen, this time Youcheng unexpectedly popped out with a Qinglin Resort, cashing in on a wave of internet dividends, which is a huge supplement to our 'Global Tourism+' initiative. You know we develop many scenic spots, but they are all quite far from the county town. Tell me about this resort in detail again."

Chen Li nodded and said, "The popularity is very high, I just don't know what level it can ultimately reach. Currently, the resort should be receiving 1,000 tourists daily. It's just that the resort's development is unspeakably basic. Therefore, I am in such a rush to ask you to hold a meeting to pass this fund support plan. With us stepping in with a special fund, the rafting project and cave accommodation project can basically be put into use within a month."

"Crucially, I found that Chen Shengfei from the city's Blue Ocean Group and Ma Liewen from the Hengyun Group have a good relationship with the resort's owner. This resort also has the potential to develop high-end clientele; I will look into this more."

These words clearly moved County Magistrate Sun.

He knew about Blue Ocean Group and Hengyun Group.

If such groups could make some investments in Youcheng, the impact would be enormous.

Youcheng still had many things worth investing in, it was just that a small county town couldn't attract investors.

As the two were talking, they saw the young man who had been following Chen Li walk in: "Director Chen, you told me to keep an eye on Qinglin Resort. The resort posted an announcement last night saying they are restricting visitor flow starting today."

"Why restrict visitor flow?" Chen Li immediately frowned.

Given this kind of popularity, he hoped the resort would make good use of it and not mess things up blindly.

The young man explained, "It seems Qinglin Resort's guest volume exceeded 1,500 yesterday. Their carrying capacity is limited, and they have no choice but to restrict the flow. They are too popular right now; relying solely on a bougainvillea sea, their official account followers are getting close to 400,000."

"It exceeded 1,500 yesterday?" Chen Li found it incredible. This was only 500 visitors short of his original daily target of 2,000 visitors.

If not for the resort's poor facilities forcing visitor restrictions, reaching those 2,000 visitors probably wouldn't be difficult at all.

The young man continued, "Although Qinglin Resort restricted visitor flow, they also promoted closer scenic spots in the county town within the video."

"This Boss Qin still has a macro perspective." Hearing this news, a look of joy involuntarily appeared on Chen Li's face.

"Let's go, to the meeting. I'll call the others," County Magistrate Sun couldn't help being moved either. The county's major investment projects, like the Great Hero Valley scenic spots, only reached this visitor volume.
