Chapter: 6783
The day before Tavanna set off for Jinling, Chang'an Automobile's ticket purchase program held its first public drawing for tickets.
At the Jinling Public Witness Office, all 40,000 tickets were allocated to each household under full-process certification.
Most of the fans who won the lottery chose to pay the remaining balance and confirm their tickets immediately. A few overseas spectators may have temporarily backed out, but if they didn't pay on time, the ticket would be drawn again as a reserve candidate.
To avoid having individuals unable to participate due to personal reasons, the rules for reserves were different from the first purchase. All users would receive a supplementary agreement when initiating the purchase, stating that if they wished to participate in the reserve, they would need to prepay the full ticket fee upfront. Once reserved successfully, the ticket would automatically be confirmed and no refunds would be given.
After an hour, all remaining tickets were successfully reserved.
Xiao Churen also participated in the lottery but did not win due to the large number of participants, numbering hundreds of millions.
Watching the drawing end without winning herself, she looked disappointed at Ye Chen and said, "This time I didn't get it, I don't know if the next three shows will be successful."
After a moment, Ye Chen said with a smile: "The odds are so small that even getting selected is quite meaningless. Even if we both got selected, it would be almost impossible for us to get tickets together. If only one of us gets selected, then I'll have to go alone."
Xiao Churen nodded and replied: "That's actually a pretty good strategy by the organizers. They're just preventing everyone from buying tickets together, which is kind of awkward. Why can't we combine our efforts and apply for tickets together? If it doesn't work out, so be it."
Ye Chen chuckled: "There are millions of people nationwide who want to see Tavanna's concert, and many of them are willing to pay top dollar to support her. In this scenario, individual ticket applications or lotteries can ensure fairness, sacrificing some group viewing benefits is normal."
Xiao Churen shrugged: "I guess the chances of us seeing Tavanna's concert in Jinling are slim this time."
Ye Chen smiled: "This time indeed there aren't any loopholes. However, if you really want to see it, we can try watching from behind the scenes. That way, we won't disrupt ticket sales rules."
Xiao Churen asked: "Can we watch from behind the scenes?"
Ye Chen confidently said: "Of course, we can! I helped Mr. Sanrui last time by getting tickets for him, and he was very grateful. Tavanna seems to want my help as well. I left Mr. Sanrui's contact information, so we can ask him to help us get in touch with Tavanna, and she might find a way to give us a spot to watch during her concert."
Xiao Churen shook his head: "You're still going to trouble yourself? That's too much trouble. We've already seen it anyway, so it's no big deal if we don't get to see it again."
Ye Chen laughed: "Actually, it wouldn't be any trouble at all! Since they'll be staying here for a few days, we can offer them some help as the hosts."
Saying so, Ye Chen added: "You know about Hong Wu's Tianxiang Hotel in Jinling, don't you? That's our best hotel with local flavor. Since Tavanna and her team will be staying here for a few days, she'll definitely want to try some of our local specialties. So I can help her book the diamond suite at Tianxiang Hotel, and also find Chen General at Baojin Hall to provide them with some convenience as hosts. If we do that, there won't be any issues about asking us to go backstage and watch the concert."
Xiao Churen spoke seriously: "Whether or not we can attend the concert is of no consequence. But if we can provide them with some help, it would still be a good thing. After all, they've traveled far from home, so as hosts, we should do our best to make them feel at ease."
Ye Chen knew that the principle of "fat water doesn't flow outside someone's field" very well. This time, Tavanna was holding a concert in Jinling, and he had already communicated with the other side beforehand. Both Tavanna herself and all her team members would be staying at Baojin Hall Hotel.
Because they will stay here for at least seven to nine days, this period is bound to become a major focus of national media attention, and the hotel where they are staying will undoubtedly have extremely high exposure. This is a free traffic windfall that cannot be underestimated.
As for Tianxiang Hotel, Ye Chen was also preparing to use Tavanna's influence to give Hong Wu some traffic. If Tavanna can make Tianxiang Hotel go viral this time, he might consider opening branches across the country.
The food and beverage industry doesn't have too much imagination for small-scale operations, but doing big business with a valuation of several hundred billion is also not impossible. Who knows if Tianxiang Hotel could become a well-known high-end Chinese restaurant chain?
Therefore, Ye Chen quietly sent Tavanna a WeChat message, asking her: "Do you have any interest in trying some local delicacies after we arrive in Jinling? If you're interested, I can help you arrange it. The hotel is run by one of my friends, and it's perfect for promoting his business through your influence."
Tavanna replied immediately: "If Mr. Ye invites me to try the food, I'll be there as soon as my plane lands! And if you want me to promote the hotel, I can post a social media update right away too."
Ye Chen said: "Of course, I'm inviting you. You don't need to pay anything; I'll take care of the arrangements." JrNovels.com
