I Am the President of the University

The latest website: Ludao.

On Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, a hurried office worker suddenly saw a spectacular scene.

There was a long queue on the long street.

The man first looked down at his watch.

08:16.

There are still 14 minutes left before work, and there are still seven or eight minutes left to walk there, which is plenty of time.

He looked at the queue in confusion and walked forward for a short distance, still not seeing the end of the queue.

Out of curiosity, the man glanced at the queue, then found a young man about his age wearing large orange pants, stepped forward and asked, "Brother, what are you doing in line?"

"Is it a nucleic acid test?" He looked around and saw that not many people were wearing masks.

It's really strange.

"It's not a nucleic acid test..."

The young man in big pants looked at the office man a few times, his eyes a little strange.

"This is a queue to buy smart thermostatic clothes."

"Today is the opening day of Guanghua Mall's direct-operated store, don't you know?"

It’s okay to say that people from other places don’t know it, but Guanghua University is a school on Ludao!

This time, the directly-operated stores are only opening in first- and second-tier cities and provincial capital cities.

There are only five cities with three direct stores in one city: Jingcheng, Magic City, Pengcheng, Yangcheng and... Ludao.

After all, Guanghua University and Lushu Group are both in Ludao, so they will definitely take care of the local area.

And not counting the one inside Guanghua University, there are four directly-operated stores, making it the city with the largest number of directly-operated stores in the country.

As for Hangcheng, Susu, Jinling, Rongcheng, Jiangcheng, Qindao and other cities, there are one or two.

After all, this is only the first batch of directly-operated stores to open, and several more batches will be added in the future.

The three stores in Ludao are located in Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, SM City Plaza and Wanda Plaza Jimei Store.

"Sweat, I only remember the second wave of panic buying. I forgot about the existence of direct-operated stores." The man was sweating profusely. No wonder the other party looked at him with that strange look just now.

"Thank you very much."

After thanking him, the man walked away quickly.

As an office worker, no, to be precise, I am a social animal.

I am so busy with work that I often work overtime. In addition, due to the high pressure in life, I have almost cut off my entertainment options. Sometimes I may not be able to open Douyin and Weibo once every ten and a half months.

Regarding smart thermostatic clothing, I only learned about it when I was browsing my phone while commuting to work.

But now, he had to continue on his way, and he didn't even dare to look back.

Because at this moment, he is not worthy of having it yet.

Even if this set only costs more than three thousand.

Bruce looked at the young man hurriedly walking past him. Looking at his dress, he knew he should be an office worker.

Thinking back to some news about China that I saw on the Internet, I couldn't help but shake my head.

"The Chinese are too fast-paced."

When I think about it, I can understand it again.

China's ability to become the world's second largest economy in the past thirty years is based on this speed, isn't it?

It is not only the Chinese who are fast-paced, but also this country.

It seems that he rarely stops to enjoy life, but is like the bearing of a machine, running tirelessly.

Putting aside some emotions that suddenly arose in his mind, Bruce turned his head to the right and looked towards the direction of the team. He was completely in despair.

"Shet! This queue is so disappointing!" Bruce was on the verge of crying.

It only opens at 12 o'clock, which is more than three hours away, and the queues are so exaggerated.

Ridiculously big!

The uncle in front of Bruce heard the English comments behind him, and turned around to see that he had blond hair, blue eyes, and three-dimensional facial features. He looked like a proper foreigner.

"Hey, brother, do you understand Chinese?" The uncle suddenly became interested, or maybe he was too bored waiting in line.

"Listen to De Dongyi's point." Bruce replied in less than standard Chinese: "Make up the pot, my Zhong Wen is not very accurate."

The uncle gave him a thumbs up and said, "It's not bad. He said it well and I can understand it."

After all, Chinese is one of the most difficult languages ​​to learn in the world.

"Looking at you, are you an international student?"

"No, I'm traveling to China. By the way, can Kangkang get some smart thermostatic clothes?"

Of course, this was Bruce's excuse.

In fact, he came here for the smart thermostatic clothes.

The official price of a set of smart thermostatic clothes in Australia is AU$1,505 (RMB 7,218), but in fact, scalpers online have sold it for AU$3,010, which is twice the price.

But it’s different here in China, it only costs 813 Australian dollars (3899 yuan).

He planned to buy three sets, one to wear on his body and the other two to sell back home. Why he did this? There should be restrictions from Chinese customs. Not counting those worn on his body, the upper limit of the number of smart thermostatic clothes he could carry was two.

The two sets were sold for about 28,873 yuan, and his round-trip air ticket this time was 15,000 yuan, a four-night hotel was 2,000 yuan, and three sets of smart thermostatic clothes were 11,697 yuan. The total travel expenses + air tickets + accommodation were 28,697 yuan.

In other words, this time it is a free 5-day and 4-night tour of Ludao + a free set of smart thermostatic clothes.

emmm...provided you can get in line.

"Which country are you from?"

"Australia."

"Australia is a bit far away, but many of our Hu Jianren people have gone to Australia to work hard. I have a distant cousin who lives in Melbourne. I heard that your place..."

The uncle was so talkative that Bruce couldn't get a word in. In fact, he wanted to say that he was from Sydney. \b

But there are indeed many Hu Jian people in Australia.

According to his Chinese teacher, among the thirty-four provinces in China, only Lingnan Province, Hujian Province, and Zhejiang Province have the most people going out to work.

Hu Jianren is even more powerful. He likes to stick together. Whenever he establishes a foothold in a place, he will bring his relatives, friends and even old family members with him.

Fortunately, the uncle finally ended the topic of his cousin and turned back to the smart thermostatic clothes.

"Young man, what time did you come here to line up?"

"I think I came here at six-thirty." Bruce said with a headache.

He got off the plane at 5 a.m., and it was almost 5:30 when he checked in at the hotel.

The hotel is on Huandao Road, not far from Zhongshan Road. I thought I would stop there first, and planned to confirm the location of the nearby direct-operated store before going back to sleep. After the jet lag, I queued up.

But what he never expected was that there would be people queuing up at 6 a.m.? ! !

And there are quite a few!

Bruce was shocked!

Isn't this too exaggerated?

He was so frightened that he hurried back to the hotel to get the accommodation certificate and some materials, put them in his backpack and came over to line up.

"That's about the same time as me." The uncle also started to feel pain in his balls, "It's too uncomfortable to stand here."

"No, I have to call someone to bring me a small bench."

As he said that, the uncle glanced at Bruce and said, "Young man, do you want one too? Anyway, one is a gift, and two are also a gift."

"this……"

Bruce hesitated, "That will cause trouble for you."

More than three hours was indeed too long.

Fortunately, half an hour later, the uncle's family sent two small benches, and the two of them sat down, talking nonsense to each other, and finally managed to stay up until 12 o'clock.

As soon as the directly-operated store opened, the queue finally started to move forward.

By the time Bruce got in line, it was already 12:56.

The clerk looked at Bruce's appearance and said decisively: "If you are not traveling, please show relevant work certificates and identity information; if you are tourists, in addition to identity information, you also need a hotel check-in certificate and a round-trip air ticket. "

In order to prevent foreigners from coming to China to buy smart thermostatic clothes and then reselling them back home, Guanghua has also issued many regulations.

Foreigners who are not working and have settled in China must have a round-trip air ticket and proof of hotel stay, and the hotel stay must be no less than three nights.

Coupled with customs restrictions, the benefits earned from reselling are also very limited.

Bruce honestly took out the relevant materials from his backpack, paid the fee after passing it, and then walked out of the store carrying three handbags.

Bruce didn't come back to his senses until he returned to the hotel room.

"Did I grab the smart thermostatic clothes?!"

The moment was filled with excitement.

It’s worthy of him queuing up since six o’clock.

Bruce, who had completed this mission ahead of schedule, planned to take a nap first and then start his trip to Heron Island.

…

That afternoon.

Beijing, Ministry of Culture and Tourism Information Center.

As the director, Yang Jun unexpectedly discovered a strange phenomenon when he looked at the feedback data from various cultural and tourism departments.

"Hey, why has the number of inbound tourists increased so much in the past two days?"
