I suggest you investigate; this person doesn't seem to be a first-time reborn individual.

"The number is much more optimistic than we initially estimated."

Lin Ran raised his head and looked at Ye Li and Tang Chen. His tone was not anxious, but rather clear and decisive.

"This is a good thing, indicating that the core appeal of the event is stronger than expected, but the backup plans we prepared were clearly insufficient."

Ye Li chimed in, "Boss, should we try to find another sponsor and split the event into three venues simultaneously?"

Lin Ran resolutely refused: "No way."

"The number of people I originally reported to those two merchants was a bit too high. I didn't expect so many people to meet in person."

"Since the event is so popular..." A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"Then let's go even bigger!"

He got up and stood in front of the table.

"Since we have a sufficient number of participants for our first offline meetup, we must create a scale effect."

"People must feel the impact of the large number of people as soon as they arrive... and also feel a sense of belonging."

"Splitting it into batches would weaken this power; turning it into a regular gathering would significantly reduce its effectiveness."

"Therefore, we need a venue that can accommodate at least two thousand people at the same time, with an atmosphere suitable for young people to socialize, and preferably with some entertainment activities. The merchants we talked to before were too small and could hardly meet this requirement."

Tang Chen and Ye Li were clearly startled by the drastic action Lin Ran had suggested.

Tang Chen scratched his head: "To accommodate so many people at once... a stadium? An auditorium?"

Ye Li said, "Impossible. The school would never lend us these venues for commercial activities. Besides, the process is very complicated, and we can't possibly complete it in such a short time."

She paused, seemingly hesitant, "Would a commercial space be suitable, but what about the rent...?"

"Who said it would cost money?" Lin Ran interrupted Ye Li, repeating his previous statement. "This time, I'll negotiate personally."

"You two work overtime tonight. The design team needs to prepare an offline event plan today, and the tech team needs to compile a data report for me today."

"Furthermore," Lin Ran added at the end, a hunter's smile playing on his lips.

"Don't forget about the gym and coffee shop we talked about before. I'll let you know when I get back tomorrow."

Tang Chen and Ye Li exchanged a glance, both feeling excited about taking over an event with so many people.

This is precisely why they gather here, to do things that ordinary students wouldn't even dare to think about or do.

"Understood!" they both said in unison.

When Lin Ran came out of the startup base, the sun was almost setting.

Instead of returning to his dormitory, he went to several shopping malls around Jiangda University to scout out locations.

After much thought, he concluded that the shopping mall was the most suitable place.

The commercial facilities around the university town where Jiangning University is located are quite mature, and Lin Ran visited several shopping malls in the area.

His goal was clear: first, the venue had to be large enough, and the internal facilities had to be complete, including security, toilets, sound system, lighting, and other equipment. He didn't want to spend extra money on these aspects.

Secondly, shopping malls themselves need young customers and are interested in active university students.

Finally, the merchants inside the store must be within the spending power of college students. If they are all high-end brands, college students cannot afford them, and it will be difficult to reach an agreement on cooperation.

After a round of on-site inspections, only two shopping malls met all the hard requirements: Starlight Shopping Center and Golden Tripod Plaza.

Sitting in a café on the third floor of the Starlight Shopping Center, overlooking the entire atrium, Lin Ran quickly organized his thoughts.

After thinking for a while, he took out his phone and called Ye Li.

"Now quickly organize the plan. I need two finished versions, even if they're a little rough around the edges."

"One location is Xingguang Shopping Center, and the other is Jinding Plaza. The focus should be on the scale of the event and the estimated foot traffic."

"Hurry up, I'm waiting for you now."

Then he called Xia Chan: "Get Zhuge and Sima together and come to the Time Cafe on the third floor of Starlight Shopping Center to find me right away."

About twenty minutes later, the three of them rushed over. Almost simultaneously, Ye Li also sent two documents.

Lin Ran opened the document titled "Golden Tripod Plaza," quickly browsed through it, and chuckled, thinking that all that time of training hadn't been in vain; Ye Li truly understood his thoughts.

The proposal features a striking title: Momo 7-Day Couples' Large-Scale Offline Meetup - Jinding Square Station.

Although the content is a bit brief, it includes everything you need, including the event schedule and renderings. In particular, the phrases "Jinding Plaza × Momo Exclusive Sponsorship" and "Expected University Student Scale 2000+" are highlighted in bold.

Most importantly, Lin Ran's contact number was also marked in small print on one of the design posters.

After briefly assigning tasks to the three, Lin Ran led Zhuge Zhuangshi to "XunJie GG Printing" shop located on the ground floor of Xingguang Shopping Center.

The shop owner was a middle-aged man in his forties with a shrewd look in his eyes.

"Boss, urgent order," Lin Ran sent the proposal to the printing shop's computer.

"Five project proposals, five renderings, and ten posters. How quickly can they be completed? We need to meet there tonight to discuss this."

While operating the computer, the print shop owner glanced at the content as usual and immediately noticed the words that Ye Li had bolded.

"Wow, this event is quite a big one. Is it being held at Jin Ding?"

Lin Ran immediately put on a proud and boastful expression.

"It's not decided yet, but our boss prefers Jin Ding. He said they offered the best terms. You'd better hurry, Jin Ding is waiting for us to go and discuss it."

"Don't worry, it'll be ready soon, it won't delay your business."

The boss smiled and agreed, quickening his pace.

After the printing and binding were completed, Lin Ran paid the money and turned to leave, deliberately leaving two copies of the renderings on the printing shop counter in a very conspicuous position.

Ten minutes later.

Xia Chan and Sima Zhongyi hurriedly returned to the printing shop, both panting and looking anxious.

"Boss! Excuse me, didn't our colleague leave behind two color-printed booklets?"

"Yes, yes, it's the one that partners with Jinding Plaza! My boss will kill me if I'm late..."

The print shop owner watched Xia Chan and her companion leave, his eyes darting around as he muttered to himself.

"Holding an event at Jin Ding?... "

Lin Ran and Zhuge Zhuangshi were at the Starlight Shopping Center, casually placing a poster with his phone number in a conspicuous spot.

The four of them returned to the cafe with the supplies.

"Have you seen the whole process clearly?" Lin Ran looked around at the three of them.

The three nodded in unison. Although Zhuge Sima felt that the operation was a bit convoluted, there were no problems with its execution.

Only Xia Chan blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Boss, I understand the process, but what are we doing?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just go."

Xia Chan pouted and muttered under her breath, "Being so secretive, they're definitely up to no good..."

Lin Ran raised an eyebrow: "What did you say?"

Xia Chan was startled: "I always said that the boss is very far-sighted in his actions!"

"Stop saying things that everyone already knows. Remember, pick another printing shop at Starlight and two more at Golden Tripod."

"Okay." Xia Chan agreed readily this time.

Lin Ran narrowed his eyes as he watched the three leave.

The bait has been prepared; now we just need to wait for the fish to come to us.

Finding a shrewd print shop owner is the first step; deliberately losing something and then sending someone to retrieve it is the second reminder; and placing the poster in a prominent location in the mall is the third step.

He refused to believe that the triple insurance wouldn't reach the ears of the investment promotion manager.
