Chapter 28: Excellent Results! Employee Types +2!
Zhang Lin finally managed to appease his mother and send her back home. Once she was gone, he returned to the farm. Sitting down in the prefab house, he pulled out his phone and sent a message to Fu Yao: "Thank you for saving me!"
"Uncle, just remember to let me work for you during the summer break!" Fu Yao replied quickly.
"I definitely will!" Zhang Lin promised. Then, hesitantly, he sent another message: "There's a bit of a problem. After my mom met you, she plans to invite you over for some pig's trotter soup. She wants me to bring you home, which is a bit tricky!"
"..." Fu Yao's response was a single ellipsis, clearly not expecting this follow-up. After a moment, she replied: "If you're going to help, you have to see it through, Uncle. Just let me know in advance. Finals are coming up, and I might not always be available!"
"You're a real friend!" Zhang Lin couldn't help but admire her generosity.
With her help, he wouldn't have to worry about dealing with his mother. Now, it was time to focus on his business.
Sitting at his desk, he reviewed the videos and photos he had taken today. Thanks to the +1 Camera attribute, these visuals were more than enough for promotional purposes. The camera angles and artistic quality were better than what professional photographers typically produce for online ads.
However, these videos alone weren't enough. For the promotion, he needed to edit in directions to guide people from You City to the flower fields. He also needed to shoot a path video and include it in the final cut.
First, he needed to set up clear signs along the road near the farm, like colorful banners with the Liyuan Farm logo. This was a common and cost-effective method used by tourist attractions.
Next, he would install a 3-meter-tall artificial rock sign at the entrance, engraved with "Liyuan Farm."
Finally, he would hang a large promotional banner for the rapeseed flower fields, measuring 5 meters by 3 meters, right next to the artificial rock sign. This would ensure that visitors wouldn't get lost or miss the location.
With these plans in mind, Zhang Lin headed to You City to handle the arrangements.
Finding a stone factory to order the artificial rock sign was straightforward. As for the banners, he could easily find an advertising studio to handle the job and the promotional banner.
You City didn't have any large advertising companies, but there were several studios, with the most famous being the Millennium Advertising Studio, which had participated in several county-wide promotional projects for You City.
"Sir, may I have your surname?" A friendly receptionist greeted him with a smile as he entered the studio.
"Surname Zhang!" Zhang Lin replied with a smile.
"Mr. Zhang, welcome!" The receptionist continued: "Millennium Advertising handles all kinds of advertising and event hosting services!"
"I need some directional banners for a tourist attraction and a large promotional banner, about 5 meters long and 3 meters wide," Zhang Lin explained.
"Sure, Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment!" The receptionist led him to the waiting area and then brought out a man: "Mr. Lin, this is Mr. Zhang!"
"Mr. Zhang, hello! I'm Lin Yao, the photographer at Millennium Advertising. What are your requirements for the large promotional banner? Do you need me to shoot the photos, or do you have suitable images already?"
"I have the photos ready." Zhang Lin pulled out his phone and showed a photo of Fu Yao standing in the flower fields. He liked this one the most; her sweet smile and the vibrant backdrop of the flowers made it a perfect choice.
Lin Yao took the phone to check the photo. Many clients thought they had good photos, but they often fell short. His studio usually took new photos to show the difference.
However, when he saw the photo on Zhang Lin's phone, he was taken aback.
"Wow!" Lin Yao exclaimed, almost disbelieving. The photo had excellent camera angles and a strong visual impact, even with an artistic feel.
As a photographer, he knew this wasn't something an average photographer could achieve. He couldn't do it himself, or he wouldn't be working in a county studio.
Zhang Lin must have hired a master photographer.
Zhang Lin understood Lin Yao's reaction and asked with a smile, "Mr. Lin, can we use this photo?"
"Mr. Zhang, you're not embarrassing me, are you?" Lin Yao quickly replied: "If you've hired a photography master, the photo is definitely usable. Let's go inside and discuss the details, including your requirements for the directional banners!"
They went inside and discussed the specifics, and the contract was signed smoothly.
It cost over ten thousand in total, with the majority of the expenses going toward the artificial hill and the sign.
...
Time flew by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Lin woke up early in the morning and checked his upgrade information:
Upgrade Requirements:
1. Hire 20 workers (10/20)!
2. Earn 1 million in profit (448,494/1,000,000)!
3. Develop 50 acres of agricultural land (520/500)!
4. Plant over 10 types of crops, with each type covering at least 5 acres (3/10).
Yesterday afternoon, Liu De and his team had finished laying the main pathways through the sea of rapeseed flowers and had begun planting other crops, completing the requirements for two types of crops.
So, planting 10 types of crops, each covering 5 acres, was still very manageable.
Next, he opened the procurement market and spent 8,000 on 1,000 pounds of water peaches and 500 pounds of Sunlight Grapes for Lin Tuo. After washing up, he went out for breakfast.
Yesterday evening, the Millennium Advertising Studio and the stone factory had completed their deliveries. He still needed to go and take some route pictures.
"Xiao Lin, I made some coix seed porridge for you today. Come and try it," Lin Yan called out as he came out.
"Sure, Mom!" Zhang Lin responded with a smile.
After visiting the farm, his mother had become much more relaxed and cheerful.
This was a good thing.
After breakfast, he rode his scooter to the farm. This time, he needed to shoot a route video, so he entered through the entrance near the sea of rapeseed flowers.
On the national highway, he rode forward, and as he approached the Liyuan Farm, he could see colorful flags fluttering by the roadside, each bearing the name "Liyuan Farm."
The appearance of these directional flags indicated that he was close to the entrance of the farm.
After traveling a bit further, he saw a 3-meter-tall artificial hill with the four large red characters "Liyuan Farm" carved into it.
The most impressive, however, was the 5-meter-long and 3-meter-wide promotional gate sign next to the artificial hill.
This promotional sign was the first thing drivers would see as they passed by. The photo used to create the sign had the "In-Game +1" attribute, making it visually striking and incredibly artistic, with a mysterious allure.
Zhang Lin shot a close-up of the promotional sign.
As he put away his phone, he noticed a Maybach pulling up beside him.
He saw a well-dressed, elegant middle-aged couple step out, looking curiously at the large promotional sign.
"Dear, this is the sea of rapeseed flowers. It looks so beautiful," the woman said, her face full of surprise.
"Sir, we're just passing by. Is there a sea of rapeseed flowers inside?" the man asked Zhang Lin politely.
He was also amazed because the promotional photo was incredibly beautiful, almost like a work of art, full of artistic depth.
This must be a photography master's work, he thought. He had been to many farms, even high-end ones, but none of them used such high-quality photos for their roadside promotions.
So, the couple was eager to see this sea of rapeseed flowers.
Zhang Lin pointed to a sign nearby and said, "Sir, I'm really sorry, but the sea of rapeseed flowers isn't open yet!"
There was a sign standing there, clearly stating that the flower sea was not yet open.
This was to prevent passing vehicles from being attracted by the promotional sign and driving into the farm, just like this couple had stopped.
The entrance also had a barrier set up to block access.
"That's a pity," the middle-aged woman sighed, clearly disappointed.
The middle-aged man, however, smiled and said to Zhang Lin, "Sir, are you from Liyuan Farm?"
"Uh-huh!" Zhang Lin nodded.
The man immediately said, "Sir, my name is Chen Shengfei. My wife is very interested in the sea of rapeseed flowers. Could we add you on WeChat? When the flower sea opens, could you let us know? Ming City isn't far from here, and we can come over."
"Sure, no problem," Zhang Lin smiled and took out his WeChat to add them.
After the Chen couple left, his smile grew even wider. This was proof that the promotional sign with the "In-Game +1" attribute was still highly effective.
Otherwise, the couple wouldn't have stopped and added him on WeChat.
Just then, he subconsciously looked at the continuous prompts appearing in his mind from the game:
Congratulations, you have successfully built an agricultural-style visitor center. This triggers the recruitment of two additional types of employees for the visitor center!
