The next day.
Qin Lin received a call from Qin Ren, who told him that the promotional video and photos were ready.
He went to Qin Ren's studio immediately.
"Linzi, take a look yourself. We'll make changes if you're not satisfied." Qin Ren opened the promotional video and played it for Qin Lin.
Qin Lin was quite satisfied with the promotional video. Qin Ren's studio had clearly put in a lot of effort. He promptly paid the studio's fee, not wanting to make things difficult for Qin Ren with his partners.
After leaving, his next consideration was promotion.
First, he needed to attract people from You City, and then find ways to attract tourists from further away.
So, he headed directly to RT-Mart.
In You City, advertising wasn't done on television. Almost no one watched You City Television, or rather, in this era, people rarely watched any satellite channels that weren't top-tier.
However, there was a place in You City where almost everyone in the city would see it.
That was the outdoor screen at Oriental Commercial Plaza. This screen was rented year-round by the RT-Mart on the first floor of the plaza, used to repeatedly play product introductions and RT-Mart's own advertisements.
Oriental Commercial Plaza was the center of You City, where people ate, drank, played, shopped, and lived.
If he could get his Bougainvillea Sea promotional video displayed there, the vast majority of You City's residents would see it.
Upon arriving at RT-Mart, Qin Lin went directly to Manager Chen's office, hoping to use Manager Chen's connections to get this done.
At this moment.
Manager Chen was in his office, respectfully serving tea to a middle-aged man: "President Chu, I can't help it. The other party only sent me 5 jin of this special quality Okra, and I've already given you 3 jin."
Naturally, Manager Chen didn't dare mention the full 10 jin. This President Chu was the overall head of RT-Mart in You City and Shacheng, and his word was law. He was also the brother-in-law of a director at headquarters, so if he spoke, he would definitely get what he wanted, and Manager Chen couldn't refuse.
This was a man's tonic, related to his personal happiness.
"Can you ask them to think of a way?" President Chu asked with a frown. Men his age wanted to enjoy themselves outside while also taking care of their families at home, but they were often lacking in energy. And that special Okra was truly amazing, with significant effects.
Manager Chen said helplessly, "President Chu, I've been urging them, but it's not a matter of money. They say they really have very little."
President Chu couldn't help but feel annoyed upon hearing this.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Manager Chen got up to open it and was all smiles when he saw Qin Lin: "President Qin, why are you here so early today?"
Qin Lin smiled and said, "Manager Chen, I've come today to ask for a favor. You guys at RT-Mart rent the outdoor video screen at Oriental Commercial Plaza, right? I want to put up an advertisement. Could you help me ask if RT-Mart could sublease some time to me each day for a while?"
"President Chu, this is..." Manager Chen immediately looked at President Chu, intending to introduce Qin Lin, as President Chu could also make the decision.
President Chu was in a foul mood and directly interrupted Manager Chen, saying irritably, "Manager Chen, do you think RT-Mart is so short of money that we need to sublease advertising time to other companies? We will not sublease."
Manager Chen knew trouble was brewing when he heard this.
He was still counting on the other party for the Okra.
He quickly said, "President Chu, President Qin is the person who provided the Okra."
"???" President Chu was completely stunned for a moment.
This was...
The next moment, he got up with a smile, stepped forward, and shook Qin Lin's hand: "President Qin, hello, hello. We can't sublease advertising time. RT-Mart isn't short of that little money. However, as a friend with whom we've had pleasant cooperation, we can give you some time for free every day."
"???" Manager Chen learned something new!
Qin Lin was a little surprised by President Chu's words.
When he came, he was still considering how much money it would take for RT-Mart to sublease some time on the commercial plaza's outdoor screen. He hadn't expected them to offer it for free.
However, he also knew that people wouldn't offer benefits for no reason; there must be a request.
President Chu then asked, "President Qin, what kind of advertisement do you want to play? I need to plan a suitable time for you."
Clearly, he was even offering thoughtful service.
Qin Lin explained, "President Chu, I recently set up a mountain villa and created a Bougainvillea Sea. I want to advertise it."
President Chu immediately said, "President Qin, from 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM, this is one of the peak traffic periods. For the next week, I'll give you this hour for free."
"Thank you very much, President Chu." Qin Lin immediately expressed his gratitude.
He also knew that President Chu must have a motive and was waiting for him to state it.
President Chu said with a smile, "President Qin, the Okra you sold to Manager Chen earlier was really good. I'd like to buy some too."
Now Qin Lin understood President Chu's motive.
No wonder.
Qin Lin immediately smiled and said, "President Chu, how can I let you buy it? I'll deliver 10 jin to you this evening."
"Thank you so much, President Qin!" President Chu smiled with satisfaction, then suddenly asked again, "President Qin, actually, I'm also in charge of the RT-Mart in Shacheng. There's also a large advertising screen on the first floor of the Wanda Plaza there. If you need it, I can also give you some time to advertise there. Please remember me as a friend if you have this special Okra in the future."
Qin Lin's eyes lit up and he said, "President Chu, I can think of a way to get more Okra. I'll bring you another 10 jin then."
Actually, over the past month, he had already stored a lot of Quality 2 Okra in his spatial dimension. It wouldn't spoil in the game, so he wasn't in a hurry to deal with it.
However, he understood the principle of scarcity.
"Then I'll trouble President Qin," President Chu said with a smile. After all, playing around outside was one thing, but coming home to fulfill his marital duties was a difficult task.
But his position had come from his brother-in-law.
Manager Chen looked at the two men conversing happily, a bitter expression on his face.
President Chu had taken all the special quality okra, what was he supposed to do?
When Qin Lin left, he handed the promotional video to President Chu, who would arrange for it to be shown. In the evening, when delivering the mature okra to RT-Mart, he also sent over 10 jin of Quality 2 okra.
President Chu had been waiting for it. After receiving the okra, he enthusiastically invited Qin Lin to dinner, clearly more adept at handling people than Manager Chen.
During the meal, President Chu mentioned multiple times that the advertisement video would be broadcast at 7:30, and Qin Lin repeatedly promised to get the okra as soon as possible.
This made President Chu very happy.
It was already past 7 PM when Qin Lin returned home.
Now that everything was settled, all that was left was for the villa to open.
After taking a shower, Qin Lin took out his phone and dialed Zhao Moqing's number.
It was time to tell Zhao Moqing about the surprise at the villa.
The call connected quickly.
Qin Lin immediately said, "Moqing, I have something to tell you. I've opened a villa."
Zhao Moqing let out a soft hum. "Qin Lin, you're finally willing to tell me? Auntie already told me. I was just waiting to see how long you'd keep it a secret."
Qin Lin felt a bit awkward. "Moqing, well, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just wanted to give you a surprise."
"A surprise? You didn't even discuss it with me!" Zhao Moqing expressed her displeasure again, then asked, "Are you afraid I wouldn't support your venture? Am I that unreasonable?"
Qin Lin immediately apologized. "Of course not. Can I apologize?"
Zhao Moqing was finally satisfied. "That's more like it. Qin Lin, you're not allowed to keep things from me anymore. Also, what can you do with a few tens of thousands of yuan? I have another 50,000 yuan here. If you need me to transfer it to you, I support your entrepreneurial efforts."
This statement sent a warm current through Qin Lin's heart. However, Zhao Moqing had clearly been misled by his mother's earlier words. Qinglin Villa wasn't a simple farm stay that could be set up with just tens of thousands of yuan.
Qin Lin smiled and said, "The villa opens tomorrow."
"Then I'll take the day off tomorrow!" Zhao Moqing immediately replied. As the future mistress of the villa, even if Qin Lin's farm stay was small-scale, she had to be there. After saying that, she added, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm shopping with my sister-in-law."
On the other end, Zhao Moqing also hung up the phone and walked into Oriental Commercial Plaza with Li Jiawen beside her.
Li Jiawen looked at her sister-in-law and sighed. "I've never seen such a silly girl. You're still thinking of using your money to help your boyfriend start a business?"
"Sister-in-law, please keep it a secret for me!" Zhao Moqing said urgently.
Was she giving this money to her boyfriend? It was for her husband. She and Qin Lin had already secretly registered their marriage and were inseparable.
"You..." Li Jiawen shook her head.
Just then, the two women suddenly heard several exclamations.
"Quick, look at the open-air video in the plaza, it's so beautiful!"
"Where is this sea of flowers from?"
More and more people in the plaza looked up. They were all stunned when they saw the video of the sea of flowers. The vibrant and poetic video was incredibly captivating.
That sea of flowers was so beautiful!
