Chapter 494: 117: Everyone is stunned_6

If it were him, he would rather not apply it than stand under the scorching sun to queue up.

What a torment!

Li Wenyue nodded, "I also queued for two days before I was able to buy Beauty Chant."

Initially planning to return on the same day, Li Wenyue inevitably had to stay overnight in Qing City.

After speaking, Li Wenyue took another document from her workstation and said, "Take a look at this."

Qian Kewen took the document.

Li Wenyue continued, "This is the tourism report for Qing City from last quarter. Just last month, the number of tourists in Qing City increased by six hundred thousand compared to the same month last year."

After speaking, Li Wenyue added, "Starting from the month before last, Qing City entered the tourist off-season, but the number of tourists didn’t decline; instead, it rose. Haven’t you wondered why?"

What does six hundred thousand visits mean!

You must know that, without any holidays, some popular cities can receive at most two to three hundred thousand visitors a month.

Yet Qing City saw an increase of six hundred thousand visits in one go, and that too during the off-season and amidst unfavorable conditions.

Qian Kewen narrowed his eyes, somewhat incredulously, "Could it be because of Beauty Chant?"

"Yeah." Li Wenyue nodded slightly.

Qian Kewen still found it a bit mysterious, "Can’t they just purchase it online? Why must they run to Qing City?"

He could think of the solution; were these people not using their heads?

Li Wenyue said with a smile, "That’s the clever part about Beauty Chant; they haven’t opened any online shopping platforms, nor do they accept mail orders, and they have even implemented a purchase limit."

That’s also why many scalpers can’t get their hands on Beauty Chant.

Not opening an online store seems like a loss for Beauty Chant, but in reality, it has invisibly elevated the brand’s status.

Before Qian Kewen could react, Li Wenyue threw another question at him, "Do you know what items are considered hard currency?"

Of course, Qian Kewen knew, "Gold."

In times of chaos, gold; in times of prosperity, antiques.

At any time, gold is the most value-preserving entity.

"Anything else?" Li Wenyue asked.

Qian Kewen shook his head, "Seems like there’s nothing else."

Upon hearing this, Li Wenyue raised her eyebrows slightly, "You missed one."

Qian Kewen’s eyes widened, "What else could there be besides gold that’s considered hard currency?"

How could he not know that apart from gold, there was something else that could be referred to as hard currency?

Li Wenyue continued, "Another one is Beauty Chant."

"Ah???" Qian Kewen was full of confusion.

Li Wenyue nodded, "Yes, you heard right."

Qian Kewen, rather speechlessly, said, "It’s just a skincare product, how can it be considered on par with gold? Xiao Li, this hard currency wasn’t chosen by you, was it?"

"Of course not, it was chosen by netizens. I don’t have that capability."

Qian Kewen, of course, didn’t believe Li Wenyue and immediately sat down at the computer to search. He had just entered the three characters for Beauty Chant into the search engine when a lot of related terms popped up.

--Beauty Chant, the 21st-century black technology product!

Beauty Chant is so great to use.

Where can I buy Beauty Chant?

Beauty Chant reviews.

The dark horse of the skincare market, Beauty Chant.

...

Most importantly, there were virtually no negative associations with the related terms.

At this moment, Qian Kewen also realized something unusual.

Although he wasn’t very familiar with skincare products, he knew that a product’s reviews during its peak would naturally be mixed.

But Beauty Chant hardly had any negative press.

This couldn’t be the work of a PR team.

Soon, Qian Kewen found a poll about whether Beauty Chant was the new hard currency.

The ’yes’ votes were nearly eighty million.

The ’no’ votes were only a few hundred thousand by comparison.

Qian Kewen licked his lips, "Although the skincare product is indeed impressive, could it really drive the local tourism industry?"

Li Wenyue continued to analyze, "Take me for example. To buy Beauty Chant in Qing City, I not only stayed overnight in Qing City, but I also visited Su Garden Ancient Town the next day. Doesn’t that count as a contribution to Qing City’s KPI?"

"But without Beauty Chant, I probably would have never gone to Qing City."

Though Qing City is a tourism city, it still falls short when compared to those very popular tourist cities. Plus, they are very close to City C, and many of their attractions are actually quite similar.

So there’s really no need to travel to Qing City.

The only difference between Qing City and City C is their different approaches.

One seized the opportunity and developed its tourism industry very well.

The other, despite having great tourist sites, lacked a breakout opportunity.

People’s psychology is really all the same.
