Tanabata.
Beicheng, Fuzang Street.
In order to cater to the festive atmosphere, all the antique buildings in the commercial street are equipped with a few circles of small light bulbs, and the whole street is shining with a gentle orange light.
The commercial street is much more congested than usual, with bustling crowds.The merchants also exhausted their tricks and tried their best to attract customers.
The young couple Chen Hao and Lin Youyou were pushed forward by the crowd.
Chen Hao bought a plane ticket two weeks in advance, and came to accompany Lin Youyou for the festival.Lin Youyou was both surprised and delighted by this. Needless to say, she was delighted. What surprised her was that during the Qixi Festival, restaurants with a good atmosphere were already fully booked, and it was not easy to find a place to celebrate the festival.
Chen Hao was considerate and said that "the most important thing is to be with you", and proposed to go to Fuzang Street for a walk.The last time I came here was at noon, I only saw the deserted streets, but not the bustling night scene of Fuzang Street.
At this moment, Fuzang Street is displaying the excitement it should have as a commercial night market street.
The two walked more than half a block.
Lin Youyou: "Why are we all talking about 'Four Ones' this year? It's fresh when it first came out, but it's a bit boring if there are too many."
Chen Hao showed embarrassment, because the gift he prepared was exactly the brand lipstick in the original version of "Four Ones".
Now that his girlfriend looks disgusted, it's not right for Chen Hao to take it for a while, or not to take it.
Reminded by Lin Youyou, Chen Hao observed while walking, only to realize that all shops have followed suit this year.
The beauty salon has launched a festive package——
"One foot massage, one facial physiotherapy, one internal meridian maintenance, one body care! Give your beloved her loving care!"
Lingerie stores are not far behind——
"A pair of underwear, a bra, a set of body shaping underwear, and a pair of stylish pajamas! Love her from the inside out!"
Even barbershops can join in the fun——
"One wash, cut and blow dry, one perm, one full hair maintenance, one VIP platinum card! Let me protect her head for you!"
……
Chen Hao: "Actually, this is a method of product marketing. It's a hot spot!"
Lin Youyou: "The problem is to tie four kinds of products together, and the naked eye can see that the prices range from low to high. For example, when a couple enters a beauty salon, the wife actually only wants to buy a facial treatment, but the other party pushes the whole body treatment, sir. If you don’t buy it, you don’t have enough love, is this different from moral kidnapping?”
Chen Hao reached into his pocket, touched the lipstick gift box, and suddenly found that what Lin Youyou said made sense.
For example, the earliest "four ones" advertisements, such as eternal flowers, lipsticks, diamond rings, and bags.
At first glance, it seems to be particularly considerate, giving consumers of different levels different choices.
But from another perspective, if two girls who know each other receive a package and a lipstick, they may not be compared when there is no advertisement. With this "bundled advertisement", will more people receive lipstick? think?
Maybe she will think:
My husband and her husband have similar economic strengths, but my husband wants to change us to a bigger house to save money, I should understand him.
But he saves money on me, other people are willing to spend money on their wives.After all, he still doesn't love me enough.
Originally giving gifts was a joyful thing, but in the end it made both parties feel restless and even alienated.
Chen Hao sighed, feeling depressed for a moment.
"Ah! It's [Worry Products], there are a lot of people, go over and have a look." Lin Youyou grabbed Chen Hao's hand and ran forward.
The name of [Worry-free Products] evokes many fond memories of Chen Hao.The last time he came to see Lin Youyou, he bought two tickets to the Ice and Snow World at [Woyoupin], as well as two sets of nice down jackets as a gift.
Lin Youyou: "Many of the items recommended by Jiang Yichi before are very unique, but unfortunately there are no stores near the school, so I can't grab them. Today I must buy some small things to cherish."
When they arrived at the door of the store, the two found that there were more customers than when they saw it from a distance. The clerk set up a temporary fence to control the number of people entering the store.
The two had to line up.
Lin Youyou swore to Chen Hao: "I believe Gou Dai will not engage in any vulgar four ones."
The clerk who was maintaining the order of the queue happened to hear it, and said with a smile: "Our store also has four activities today!"
Lin Youyou felt a little lost at once, as expected, no businessman can escape the profit-driven nature, and no one can escape it.
Not long after, the two entered the store.
[Worry for nothing] Sure enough, two-thirds of the show area was set up as the Qixi Festival area, but the style... was quite different from what the two of them expected.
All the walls were plastered with patriotic slogans, such as "read books for the rise of China", "our nation is the source of our self-confidence", "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world", etc.
Lin Youyou asked the people beside her in a low voice: "Did I remember the date wrong? Today is the National Day? The founding of the party?"
After Chen Hao scanned the audience, he finally confirmed that today is Qixi Festival. "It should be Qixi Festival. Look at the Cowherd and Weaver Girl on the wall over there."
Lin Youyou followed the direction of his finger, and sure enough, there was a large sticker of Cowherd and Weaver Girl on the beige wall on the left. Unlike the usual warmth and beauty of meeting on the magpie bridge, the Cowherd and Weaver Girl on the wall made a struggle with fists on their chests.
There is a text bubble above the cowherd: "If the relationship between the two lasts for a long time, it is nothing more than building a new socialist countryside together!"
The text bubble next to the Weaver Girl: "You live under the Milky Way, and I live in the Heavenly Palace. I miss you every day and don't see you, let's create the Huaguo dream together!"
Lin Youyou and Chen Hao:? ? ?
Soon, the two discovered the "four ones" products that are the main products of the Qixi Festival-maps, necklaces, wishing pendants and books.
The unit price is not expensive, at least compared to lipsticks that cost a few cents and sell for hundreds of dollars, the premium is insignificant.
But what does these things have to do with Qixi Festival and the "Four Ones"?
Soon, the two got an answer.
I saw that several TVs above the store were broadcasting in-store advertisements, and there happened to be a Tanabata special.
[Worry-free products] In order to save the cost of advertising shooting, all the shop assistants leave the country in person.
This Chinese Valentine's Day special advertisement was also shot very simply——
In the first scene of the screen, a young man holds a necklace in the shape of a sickle and an ax in his hand, and says in a straight voice: "One center, centered on economic construction!"
In the second scene of the picture, two young women are holding books such as "XX Quotations" and "XX Spirit in Beicheng", "One thought, unwavering adherence to socialist thought!"
In the third scene of the screen, four clerks wrote their wishes on the wishing pendant and hung it on the green tree, and then said in unison: "One dream, to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!"
In the fourth scene of the screen, a group of clerks hold a map, "One China, always adhere to the one China principle unwaveringly."
Then the screen went black, and a young man said aggrievedly, "What should I do if I'm still alone on Qixi Festival?"
Wang Feiniu appeared on the scene, holding a gift box with the first four items: "Don't be afraid of being single, Qixi Festival, we are still the successors of socialism!"
Then, a man and a woman appeared.
The girl asked the boy: "Oh dear, what do you want to give me?"
Boy: "I want to give you a gift box of four [Woyoupin], let's talk about a lifetime of socialist positive energy love!"
After the advertisement was broadcast, the corners of Lin Youyou and Chen Hao's mouths twitched for a minute.
The acting is poor, the picture quality is touching, and even the accent of the dubbing is very different.
Both of them were ashamed of these "actors", so embarrassed that they could pick out a three-bedroom apartment with their toes.
However, Lei Guilei did not prevent the two of them from wandering around the Qixi Festival area.
The four items are not expensive, necklaces and maps are 19 yuan, books and wish pendants are 29 yuan, each comes with a small gift box or small gift bag customized by Woyoupin, and the gift box package is 77 yuan.
Chen Hao heard the conversation between the two girls on the side.
"This wishing pendant looks ugly at first glance, but after a few more glances, it's still a little bit tempting."
"It's a Chinese dream."
"Buy two, just hang symmetrically, one wishing that I will get out of singles next year, and the other wishing that my motherland will prosper?"
Chen Hao looked at the three boys in front again.
"It's rare to see a store that prepares products for us single dogs on Qixi Festival. No worries about products are considerate! Not expensive! Buy!"
"This book is good. Buy it as a gift for my grandfather. He loves to read quotations from leaders."
"The workmanship of the necklace is rough, but I don't want to pick it when I'm only 19, and there is a small gift box with no worries, so I support Chang Ji!"
"Fuck, you scolded your idol bloody back then, and now you just pay 19 yuan?"
"I have no money! I will make up for it when I work!"
Chen Hao's hand was pulled by Lin Youyou.
Lin Youyou: "Hao, how about we also buy two maps?"
Chen Hao:? ? ?
Lin Youyou's eyes brightened: "Look, every time we go to a city in the future, we can draw a circle on the city name on the map."
Chen Hao suddenly warmed up: "Okay."

Buddy Company.
The single group of four, who rarely work overtime for festival activities, is very busy at the moment.
"The map of Jinming store is all sold out? All right, I'll send the goods to the warehouse right away." Shen Lianhua communicated with a mobile phone in one hand.
Wang Feiniu, Li Xiaobai and Shangguan Jingxian were sitting at the conference table eating takeaway.
"Looking at Xiao Shen's appearance, he is not in the mood to come over to eat. I will decorate it for him." Shangguan Jingxian said.
The two Wang and Li lamented that Sister Shangguan could take care of others while shaking the rice noodles.
Li Xiaobai: "I didn't expect those things to be sold, and they were sold out?"
Wang Feiniu was not surprised: "Actually, it's easy to understand. For this kind of festival, many people must come out to enjoy the atmosphere after a romantic candlelight dinner. Single dogs who go shopping on this kind of festival are not afraid of being hurt. , the type who like to join in the fun."
Li Xiaobai looked like he was washing his ears.
Wang Feiniu: "When you go shopping, you always want to buy something, but most people know that if you don't plan to go shopping, you will basically not buy expensive products. Branded grocery stores are a good choice."
Li Xiaobai nodded, the cheap advantage has always been an irresistible advantage at any time.
Wang Feiniu: "Look at the packaging bags and gift boxes designed by the boss and Sister Qiaoming. They look good, right? People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Holiday gifts are such impractical things. If they are packaged in a good-looking way, won't the atmosphere be created?"
Li Xiaobai was biting the milk tea straw, thinking about it, it seems that he himself took two gift boxes home to pack sundries.
Wang Feiniu: "Besides, we don't emphasize love. What is meant by 'If you love her, you must buy her XXX'. The Internet-driven generation wants to roll their eyes when they see this kind of propaganda. We don't distinguish between singles or lovers during the holidays. Who is not a communist? The successors of this group. Catch all groups in one go!"
Li Xiaobai: "A Niu, you are right!"
Wang Feiniu waved his hand: "But I also have a question?"
Li Xiaobai: "What?"
Wang Feiniu leaned over his head: "I haven't seen the boss ask for leave since I went to work. Doesn't the boss always work overtime on such a critical festival?"
Li Xiaobai disliked it: "What's so hard to understand, the boss is also a human being, and he has to go on a date. Look at Xiao Qian and Qiao Ming, don't they all ask for leave at night... wait a minute!"
Li Xiaobai and Wang Feiniu looked at each other for a long time, before expressing their doubts: "The boss has a date?"

Neon Country.
After a day of business negotiations, Liang Junche tactfully declined the dinner invitation of the other party's representative.
Today is Qixi Festival, and it just happened to collide with the city's fireworks display, making the city extremely lively.
Liang Junche did not bring a translator with him, and only used English and a mobile phone translator. According to the recommendation, he came to the city park, which was said to be very suitable for watching fireworks.
By the river in the park, there are countless well-dressed young men and women, as well as middle-aged couples who are happy and happy with their families, their faces are full of joy.
Liang Junche, who was alone and wearing a three-piece suit, seemed out of place for a moment.
Several neon girls saw Liang Junche, whispered for a while, then pushed each other forward, and came to each other.
The girls were all wearing colorful bathrobes, delicate makeup, clogs, round fans, and drawstring bags.The girl with the longest hair took out a candy apple and handed it over shyly.
Liang Junche froze for a moment, took out his mobile phone, translated "Sorry, I have a lover" with a translator, and handed it to the girl in front of him.
The girls were a little disappointed, but they quickly joined hands and trotted away.
With a bang, the fireworks display began.
The fireworks are in full bloom in the sky, like cherry blossoms in spring, rain in summer, maple leaves in autumn, and snow in winter.
It seems that in all the neon love movies, the scene of fireworks is inevitable.Boys and girls in bathrobes are kissing jerkyly in the sky full of fireworks.
"Beautiful but fleeting, just like love." A deep male voice suddenly came from beside him.
Hearing the familiar Chinese in a foreign country, Liang Junche was taken aback and turned sideways.
I saw a middle-aged man in shabby clothes holding a wine bottle, watching the fireworks in the sky, then laughed at himself a few times, turned and left.
The inexplicable episode did not interrupt the romance of the fireworks display.
Liang Junche soon received a message from the person he was thinking of.
[Gou Dai: Where is it? 】
Liang Junche directly posted a location and a picture of the deer and cherry blossom fireworks that was recorded just now, which is said to be the "King of Fireworks" in this conference.
[Liang Junche: I really want to watch it with you. 】
Liang Junche was waiting for a reply, but there was no text. He couldn't help but feel aggrieved. The other party must be busy with work.
The fireworks are rising slowly, and the lovers can't help kissing, and the youthful love is frozen in the splendor of the fireworks.
Liang Junche's cell phone rang suddenly, it was a video call.
Liang Junche hurriedly picked it up.
"Still watching the fireworks?" Gou Dai asked.
In the video, Gou Dai puts his head very close to the camera, his flawless face occupies the entire screen.
Liang Junche heard his heart tremble a few times, and let out a "hmm".
Compared with watching fireworks, I actually want to see you more.
"Does it look good?" Gou Dai asked.
Liang Junche turned his mobile phone to the rear camera, held it up high, looking for the best shooting angle, and wanted to share the beautiful scenery at this moment with Gou Dai.
"It's quite beautiful." Gou Dai said, and also adjusted the camera to the rear camera.
Liang Junche stared at the screen, and found that the other party's camera was the same as his own, and it was also a gorgeous fireworks.
Huh?
Why are these fireworks exactly the same, with the same style, pattern, and even the frequency of blooming and falling?
The figure below looks familiar?
isn't it me?
Liang Junche was dazed for a few seconds, thinking that there was a problem with the phone, then he realized it and turned around abruptly.
A familiar white shirt, light gray linen trousers, slightly curly bangs, and a warm smile.
The fireworks all over the sky is a sweet dream, but it will never compare to the smile of the person in the fireworks at this moment.
Liang Junche's expression collapsed, he rushed forward in three steps at a time, and hugged him in his arms.
Gou Dai wanted to say something, but in the end all disappeared in the fireworks and the passionate and sincere kiss with Liang Junche.
for a long time.
Those who watched the fireworks for a long time did not look at the fireworks, but stared at them, and the two fled the dense crowd in a little embarrassment.
Liang Junche grinned to the ear, sweetly and arrogantly asked: "Why did you come here suddenly?"
Gou Dai: "I happened to be reading a book two days ago, and it said 'when did the fireworks I saw were the most beautiful and special, and I have long forgotten them in my mind, and spent them with the people I cherish, the fireworks display Only then will it become an irreplaceable memory." After watching it, I thought, Mr. Xiaoliang cannot watch the fireworks alone."
Liang Junche acted like a baby: "Then if you haven't read that book, you wouldn't have come here, right?"
Gou Dai:? ? ?
What are you thinking about with your little head?
The two held hands and strolled in the park.
There are many game houses and food stalls in the festival park, and you can play goldfish fishing and water polo fishing for a few tens of yen.
The two tasted delicious food along the way, and caught a few more goldfish, and suddenly remembered that they could not bring them back to China, so they gave them to a child who had never been able to catch any fish.
The fireworks show is over, but the love in the eyes will not retreat.
Liang Junche and Gou Dai returned to the hotel.
"Wait for me!" Liang Junche said, and hurried to the side of the suitcase, rummaged for a long time, and finally found the exquisitely packaged gift box placed on the bottom layer.
"Seventh Festival gift." Liang Junche handed it over.
Gou Dai was startled for a moment, then remembered that he came in a hurry and forgot to prepare a gift.
"Take a look." Liang Junche couldn't wait.
Gou Dai unpacked and opened the brocade box.Inside the box is a Bulgari ring.
"It looks good." Gou Dai said sincerely.
Liang Junche's eyes were bright, and with his hair blown away by the wind, he looked more like a fluffy puppy.
There is longing and anticipation in the puppy's eyes.
Gou Dai thought for a while, took out a toffee from his pocket, and handed it to Liang Junche.
Liang Junche was stunned for a while, obviously did not expect the gift to be so "casual".
But a few seconds later, he still showed a bright smile, intending to take the toffee.
Just a second before his finger touched the candy, Gou Dai stopped him, then took it apart by himself and put it in his mouth.
Liang Junche stood still in the same place, until the next second, the person who made him want to rub his blood every second, raised his head, pressed the back of his head, and passed the sweetness from his lips to him bit by bit.
Liang Junche felt that the fireworks in his mind were blooming again and again, compared to all the "firework kings" at the fireworks festival.
a long time.
Liang Junche looked at the person in front of him who was gasping for breath after being tossed about by himself, and couldn't help laughing, "I like this toffee gift very much."
Gou Dai took a long time to breathe evenly, raised his head, his usually gentle eyes rarely showed a bit of provocation: "Who told you this is a gift?"
"Ah?" Liang Junche was stunned, a little confused.
Gou Dai smiled, and started to unbutton the buttons tied to his neck with both hands, with a lazy tone: "Shouldn't I be the gift you want most?"
Bang bang bang!
Liang Junche's mind, which had just bloomed with fireworks, exploded again, as if the whole neon, the whole world, and hundreds of years of fireworks were all gathered at this moment, competing for splendor in his mind.
……
The city outside the window gradually returns to tranquility from the hustle and bustle, the moon and stars are sparse, and the clouds are rippling.
The moonlight was lying on the reflective windows of the high-rise buildings, sneaking in quietly, and the orange-yellow wine-like lights witnessed the beauty of the room.
