The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 450 Sichuan Trip

After everyone chatted for a while, the scheduled shooting content was almost finished.

Xu Lang and Wang Chang gave a summary of the day, just like in the previous five episodes.

Lin Shuwen's part has been recorded, and the script for the next day is for Wen Wan and other members of the Chinese Paladin crew.

In the evening, Luo Ming drove to pick up Lin Shuwen personally.

He didn't say hello to Xu Lang, Wang Chang and others. He just picked up the person and left.

After coming out of the Mushroom House, Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen did not return to Shanghai immediately, but flew directly to Sichuan. Chen Sichu and the bodyguards naturally followed them.

Lin Shuwen's grandparents are from Mianyang. After Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen confirmed their relationship, he has not been there or met Lin Shuwen's grandparents.

This time after leaving Shanghai, Lin Shuwen thought she might as well go and meet the old man, and take Luo Ming to play in Sichuan for a few days.

Because after mid-May, Zhuoguang Technology will release Toutiao.

Compared with Neihan Duanzi, Toutiao is more important to Zhuoguang Technology.

It can even be said that Zhuoguang Technology launched Neihan Duanzi first in order to accumulate relevant experience in big data algorithms for Toutiao.

The reason why Luo Ming attaches so much importance to Toutiao is that the founder of ByteDance in its previous life was able to maintain a very high equity in the parent company and did not receive multiple rounds of financing in the early stages of development. The most fundamental reason was that their company's Toutiao had extremely powerful monetization channels at that time.

High traffic + high monetization have directly allowed Toutiao’s parent company to enter the ranks of first-tier Internet companies and gain a firm foothold in the Internet industry.

Today's portal websites have begun to abandon their content business and ignored the blueprint for this area. It would be a waste if they don't eat this piece of cake.

Once Toutiao goes online, Luo Ming will inevitably devote a lot of energy to work and probably won't have much time to go out.

That's why Lin Shuwen decided to take Luo Ming back to Mianyang to meet her grandparents.

In fact, Luo Ming had traveled to Sichuan in his previous life, but the experience was not very good.

At that time, Luo Ming went with several colleagues from the company.

None of them had been to Sichuan before, so they lacked experience. Before they left, they signed up for a three-day tour to Leshan, Mount Emei, Dujiangyan and Mount Qingcheng.

As a result, when they arrived, they found out that the so-called three-day tour meant climbing three mountains in three days.

Luo Ming's colleagues, like him, are programmers who sit in the office all year round. Climbing three mountains in three days is almost like killing them.

When he climbed Leshan on the first day and Mount Emei on the second day, Luo Ming felt his legs were shaking. Not to mention the third day. In short, climbing these three mountains almost exhausted him to death.

What’s even more outrageous is that the experience of climbing these three mountains was not very good.

When we went to Leshan, our tour guide and Luo Ming said we could only see the Giant Buddha from behind.

At that time, the people of Luoming were dumbfounded. If they couldn't take a boat to see the Buddha from the other side of the river, what was the point of coming to Leshan? How could they brag to others that they had been to Sichuan and seen the Leshan Giant Buddha?

When you go to Leshan, you are asked to bring back a jade Buddha for your natal chart; when you go to Emei, you are asked to bring back an imperial sand Guanyin for your natal chart; and when you go to the First God of Wealth Pavilion in Western Shu, you are asked to bring back some jade cinnabar.

Going to a place and asking people to spend money to buy something, who would exploit cash-strapped workers like this?

The rural hostel we stayed in during the three-day tour was even worse. Not to mention the poor accommodation conditions, even a rabbit head downstairs was sold for 20 yuan each!
Selling it for 20 is fine, but could they at least heat it up when taking it out of the vacuum plastic bag? Not even heating it up is too perfunctory, it's not as good as the rabbit heads sold online, at least the rabbit heads online are much cheaper than here.

Afterwards, Luo Ming and his colleagues were taken to some cultural park to learn about the Daliangshan culture.

As a result, the so-called Daliangshan culture is just to go upstairs to look at the tea and promote it.

Watch the silver jewelry being made on site and sell some of their products at the same time.

Putting aside these sales pitches, what impressed Luo Ming most about Daliangshan culture was the ethnic minority salesman who talked about Daliangshan culture.

This big brother spoke very fast, repeating the same sentence over and over again, saying "you Han people, you Han people" all the time.

Luo Ming thought at the time that this guy was probably taking the Han people who came here for tourism as fools, as they came here just to spend money.

Later, when they went to Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong, Luo Ming and his colleagues originally planned to go by themselves.

As a result, when buying tickets, they found that joining a group was much more cost-effective and could save one-third of the ticket price, so Luo Ming and his friends signed up for another group.

The consequence of this wave of greed is that the tour guide charges for various fast-track fees, such as cable cars, 1000 yuan for group tours, and 500 yuan for small transportation.
The place where they stayed was the familiar country inn, and the accommodation environment was still dirty as before. The only difference was that it was a little colder here, and Luo Ming didn't dare to take off his clothes to sleep at night!

Not to mention before climbing Huanglong Mountain, the tour guide and mountaineering coaches were in unison, scaring tourists into buying anti-altitude sickness medicines, otherwise something bad might happen.

Luo Ming was also fooled. The price was 100 yuan per bottle, and one person wanted two bottles. Luo Ming paid for it directly. Afterwards, he found that it was not useless! It could only be said that the effect was almost zero.

If Luo Ming, who has been cheated before, were to give some advice, it would be that you should never join a tour group when traveling to Sichuan, otherwise you will be asking for trouble!
Lin Shuwen naturally didn't know that Luo Ming had such a bad impression of Sichuan. Along the way, she talked to Luo Ming about the interesting places in Sichuan.

"Wenwen, after visiting your grandparents, let's go to the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base!" Luo Ming interrupted Lin Shuwen and said.

"The Giant Panda Breeding Research Base? That's fine! I haven't been there for a long time. The last time I went there was in winter, and I didn't see many giant pandas. The giant pandas were either eating or sleeping, and they basically didn't give tourists face or interact with them. Maybe there will be a surprise this time."

Lin Shuwen’s grandparents were both born in the Year of the Pig. They are 67 years old this year and look in good spirits.

When the two old people learned that Lin Shuwen brought her boyfriend, they called Lin Shuwen's three uncles and aunt's family over early so that they could get to know each other.

Lin Shuwen's grandparents were both medical workers. They retired two years ago, but were both re-employed by the hospital.

Lin Shuwen's eldest uncle, second uncle and aunt are all medical workers. Her youngest uncle is the youngest child in the family, a whole generation younger than Lin Shuwen's mother, and is engaged in animal husbandry.

Lin Shuwen's mother's relatives also knew about Luo Ming's identity.

However, the Zhou family is also a relatively well-off family in the local area and does not need to curry favor with Luo Ming. Therefore, the family's attitude towards Luo Ming is that of an elder looking at a younger person.

During the meal, some of the questions asked were about their future plans, and no one talked about work.

After having a meal with the Zhou family, Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen left together.

Neither Luo Ming nor Lin Shuwen liked this kind of atmosphere very much, and coming to meet the relatives here was just out of courtesy.

The next day, Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen got up very early, but they did not rush in. Instead, they found a breakfast shop nearby.

Lin Shuwen ordered two bowls of beef noodles and dried fish. While waiting for the meal to be served, Luo Ming asked curiously, "Wenwen, how many times have you been to the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base?"

"About seven or eight times! In the past two years, almost every time I visited my grandparents, I would stop by the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base. But after I made my debut, I haven't been here since."

"I see. Then I'll go with you. You've been there so many times, you must be very familiar with this place."

"Just follow me, A-Ming, let me tell you, there are some tips for visiting the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base.

First of all, we need to determine our own tour route. It is best to determine our main tour target, specifically which bear, because we need to wait patiently.

Secondly, although the Chengdu base opens very early every day, we don’t need to rush in, because if we go in early, we will only see various flowers, plants and trees. We can have breakfast before entering the park.”

Luo Ming glanced at the beef noodles that had just been served and asked, "Why don't you rush in? Wouldn't it be possible to get a better seat if you go earlier?"

“You can get a better seat, but the waiting time is too long, because even if you enter the park on time at 7:30 or 8:00, the nanny has to clean the yard first, and it is still too early for the pandas to come out for breakfast.

Generally speaking, the nanny will finish cleaning and put away the bamboo and bamboo shoots around nine o'clock, and then let the giant pandas out for breakfast. This is a good opportunity for everyone to see the giant pandas.

But the giant pandas all have similar breakfast times, so you can only choose one giant panda you want to see during the same period of time. It is not realistic to switch cats back and forth.

Because the distance between the yards is quite far, and once there is a giant panda eating, there are basically a lot of spectators watching. If you run around, it will be difficult to find a suitable position to see the giant panda. "

Luo Ming suddenly realized what was going on when he heard this. He had also been to the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base in Chengdu in his previous life, but he didn't see many pandas.

After hearing what Lin Shuwen said, he finally understood that it was not that the giant panda was lazy, but that he went at the wrong time.

"So where are we going today?" Luo Ming continued to ask.

"If you look at the travel guides on the Internet, I think the first recommendation is most likely the Moon Delivery Room. The Moon Delivery Room is small and close to tourists, so it is very suitable for watching giant pandas.

However, because of this, there are always crowds of people here all year round, and when you go there you don't know whether you are going to see people or giant pandas.

So my personal recommendation is Infinite Hills, because the four giant panda enclosures together on the Infinite Hills are Infinite Hills.

It is built on the hillside, with few people and many pandas. You will definitely gain something if you come here.”

After listening to Lin Shuwen's clear and convincing explanation, Luo Ming decided to go to Infinite Hills.
