Chapter 117 Foreign Impressions
Li Yuge got close to Lin Johnson, looking at the unprecedentedly lively scene with envy, and then the empty "Foreign Impression Grand View".
She held her little hand and breathed, saying to Johnson Lin: "Johnson? Actually, these photos are pretty good. The ticket for one yuan is a bit higher, right?"
Lin Johnson shook his head, looked at the hot situation of watch sales, and then looked at the cold photo exhibition, and said, "Actually, if you change your mind, even if no one comes in to watch, we can just have the sales of watches! I still think it's not expensive. Just buying these photos, I spent a lot of money, and I don't worry about you!"
"Oh!" Li Yuge nodded depressedly, sighed, and had to stay by Lin Qiangsheng's side and acted in a daze.
The watch promotion reached a small climax at noon. Many people came out at noon. Today is not Sunday. By 1 o'clock, more than 140 watches have been sold, with sales of nearly 8,000 yuan, which is already very good!
This 8,000 yuan is enough to pay the wages of more than 200 workers in the watch factory. Since the launch of Guoxi Watch, it has never been sold so happily. This is the power of low-priced promotions!
No wonder domestic TV giants have been unable to withstand the loss of city and land as soon as they use their big moves of low-priced dumping!
"Johnson and Johnson!"
Lin Johnson was gnawing on the street while grilled sweet potatoes. At this time, he heard someone calling him, and when he turned around, he saw Li Yuge waving to him, he looked quite anxious.
Lin Johnson wrapped the sweet potatoes and asked loudly: "What's wrong?"
Li Yuge jumped and pointed at the two men beside him and said, "Johnson and Johnson. They want to visit the picture exhibition!"
Lin Qiang came close to him and saw two middle-aged men in their thirties and forties with black framed eyes. He smiled at them and said, "Yes! Of course we welcome!"
Two middle-aged men smiled at the roasted sweet potatoes on the hands of the young man. One of them was in his forties and asked Lin Johnson: "Little comrade, can we both visit the two of us be cheaper?"
Lin Qiangsheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's one yuan for two people! You are the first batch of visitors, and you will be given a 50% discount!"
Although this sentence is quite strange, the two middle-aged people still understood it. The older one smiled and nodded, saying, "The little comrade is really good at speaking. OK, it's only one yuan!"
The two of them paid the money happily, and Lin Johnson smiled and put the one dollar in his pocket.
This is the first batch of customers. He believes that with the first batch, there will be the second batch and the third batch. This market will not be small! Jet Li's Shaolin Temple can sell a box office of 100 million yuan with just a few cents of movie tickets! If you go to another tour exhibition, you can go to Liverpool.
100 million tickets seem to be not far away! How many cities and counties do you have to travel around?!
"Click"
Just as Lin Johnson was thinking about beautiful things, he suddenly heard a disharmonious voice.
When he turned around, his face turned green in an instant, and then he shouted in grief: "Don't take pictures~! Baga!"
Lin Qiangsheng ran forward, grabbed the camera of the middle-aged man in his thirties, and shouted: "No photography is allowed. Is there a camera amazing? What brand of this, peacock?"
The man was stunned. He found that the young man had taken his camera and hurriedly said, "What are you doing? This is from the public, please give it back to me!"
Lin Qiangsheng snorted, avoided the middle-aged man's hand, quickly turned on the camera, and snapped out the film."
"What are you doing?!" The middle-aged man said in a angrily voice when he saw that the film negatives were pulled out.
"We don't let you take photos! The sign at the door is written? Didn't you see it?" Lin Johnson pointed to a blackboard at the door, with the viewing rules written in chalk.
The middle-aged man was speechless. He did see it, but he did not take the rules written seriously. When he saw the photos he liked, he naturally picked up the camera and took a photo.
"Little comrade, I'm sorry! We didn't notice it, don't you blame anyone who doesn't know it! You'd better give us the camera, right?" The middle-aged man in his forties came over and said.
He was also a little itchy just now. When he saw the good color photos, he felt very beautiful and wanted to take them, but the camera was in the hands of his colleagues.
Lin Johnson looked at the indignant camera owner in front of him, then looked at the middle-aged man in his forties, nodded and said again: "I don't allow taking photos here! In addition, these photos are difficult to obtain. Many of them have signed agreements with the negative owner and cannot be provided to third parties!"
The middle-aged man nodded in surprise and asked, "Are these photos taken abroad?"
He saw that these photos were all from foreign countries, and it was impossible for any unit in China to take so many photos abroad, so he asked guessingly.
Lin Johnson nodded, returned the camera and film to them, and reminded him again: "Don't take photos when you look!"
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Don't worry, comrade! We won't shoot again!"
Seeing Lin Johnson walking away, the younger man snorted and said, "What's the matter? You're so expensive to see once, and you won't let the photo take?!"
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "I can understand him. If he comes in, he will take pictures everywhere, so who else can come to see him?"
With the first wave of people entering, others were attracted to watch. Although the one-yuan ticket price was a little more expensive, it was worth seeing so many foreign photos, which gradually attracted some people who wanted to go abroad and were preparing to go abroad to watch, as well as those who were interested in abroad.
Seeing more and more people paying money to watch the picture exhibition, Lin Johnson and Li Yuge both laughed.
Lin Johnson said to Li Yuge: "We are still short of people! Do you have any people you know? Let's introduce a few more!"
Li Yuge thought for a while, nodded and said, "There are so many people, but they just don't know the details."
Lin Johnson waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. We are not a public official. Just send it away if we don't perform well!"
Li Yuge said in shock: "Who else will come? Are we the same?! You should at least educate me. At least say it, if you correct it, you will be a good comrade!"
Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said, "You performed very well from the beginning! And. Those who should be educated, please leave it to social education. I am not a school!"
"Okay, I'll go to the other side to watch, you're here!"
Seeing Lin Qiangsheng running away, Li Yuge muttered depressedly: "What a bad capitalist, not at all favors. Hum!"
The low-priced promotion of watches was very successful. By the end of 4 pm, a total of 236 watches were sold in a day. A total of nearly 13,000 yuan!
The two young men, Wang Zhenjun and Wang Zhenqiang, did not expect to sell so many watches in one day. When they knew that today's sales were nearly 13,000 yuan, they were immediately scared.
The foreign impression grand view organized by Lin Johnson gradually attracted some people's enthusiasm for viewing. By the end of the afternoon, more than 40 tickets were sold, which was more than 40 yuan, which was enough for a family of three to eat a month. Such expensive tickets, and people came to watch them, it really proved that some people were willing to spend money.
The common people used to be able to access foreign information and information very little. Now that they have the foreign impression grand view run by Lin Johnson, they suddenly come into contact with so many novel things that many people have not been able to read enough! Some people even thought about coming to watch again tomorrow, and asked Lin Johnson whether they would come tomorrow.
"Don't worry, everyone! I'll be there at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning!" Lin Qiangsheng said loudly.
The audience applauded, and some people shouted: "I paid a dollar today, what should I do if I haven't finished watching it?"
"Uh, continue watching tomorrow! But you have to watch it quickly!" Lin Johnson said with a smile.
Everyone cheered happily, and someone said, "Isn't it just a few meals? I'll save money, and I'll get another one yuan tomorrow!"
"You brag!" someone said jokingly.
Some of these photos are also provided with text descriptions. Lin Qiang-Cheng-Cheng all translated them and posted them below. Although there are very few such photos, less than a hundred, many people think that such a picture-text display is more interesting and connotative.
For example, Lin Johnson has pictures of the 1970 World Expo, and there are also introductions such as "When the Osaka World Expo was held, it was a period when Japan was committed to economic development after World War II. The holding of the World Expo provided good opportunities for the industrial development of the Kansai region in Japan, greatly promoted the construction of transportation, residential, commercial facilities, tourism and cultural exchange places in Osaka, promoted the formation of the Kansai Strip urban agglomeration centered on Osaka, increased the international reputation of the city, and was of great significance to the economic development and layout adjustment of Japan across the country."
In addition, the 1974 Spokane World Expo in the United States, the hosted place Spokane, as a small and medium-sized city in the United States, after experiencing the crisis of urban greening in the 1950s and with the entire United States, facing huge crowds of people, congested traffic conditions, and dirty air quality, it began to plan to hold such an international event with environmental issues in the 1970s.
There are also related background introductions. In 1974, two years after the First Global Human Environment Conference was held, US President Nixon announced the official opening of the Spokane World Expo. The 11 countries and regions participating in the exhibition interpreted the theme of the Expo "Polition-free Progress" from their respective perspectives. Flowing water, forests, waste electrical appliances, etc. have become exhibits at the Expo for the first time. The most important exhibit in the Expo park is Spokane waterfall, splashing water and snow spraying across the mountains, which impressed the visitors from afar.
This World Expo was even identified by the United Nations as the host of the first "World Environment Day" event.
The Spokane World Expo touched on the most serious problem facing the international community environmental protection.
On June 5, 1974, the first World Environment Day was prescribed at the Spokane World Expo, with the theme of the event being "Only One Earth".
This is the first time that ordinary people have learned about something called the World Expo and the first time they have learned about the concept of "environmental protection". Viewers have seen the pollution, environmental damage, and forest deforestation left over from many foreign industrial civilizations, and many people were deeply shocked. These photos are so unforgettable, like scars that cannot be erased until they remain in the hearts of many people.
Of course, there are also good sides, such as advanced foreign transportation facilities, tall skyscrapers, prosperous and open harbor cities, which fully reflect the economically active New York Stock Exchange in developed capitalist countries, luxurious department stores and a wide range of high-end goods abroad, as well as small country villas that foreigners like to live in.
There is also some personal moral behavior in these photos, such as various places with good and orderly environments, garbage sorting facilities, foreigners actively abide by various traffic rules and orders, including leaving a large distance between front and rear vehicles, and some helpful actions.
The people who visited can see through photos that when shopping, when you need to queue up to be civilized, there is a good order abroad, a silent social morality, no jumping in line, no rushing, no loud noise, politeness, and knowing how to respect others.
There are also some smiling faces from people around the world. Below a photo of a big man’s smiling face, Lin Qiangsheng also wrote, “Standard smile: sincere eyes and kindness!”
There are also standard terms for greetings abroad: "Hello, I'm happy to see you!"
It is written in English, and the following is the Chinese translation and phonetic symbol, "Naisi, Tumiqiu!"
It is also written below: "When others look at you, you must greet the other person with a sincere look, a serious expression, and a kind heart!" (To be continued...)
