After the welcome ceremony was completed, the Lin father and daughter, and the hotel service staff drove small electric carts to bring the guests and their luggage to their rooms.

Then they returned to the hotel entrance area without stopping to greet the arrival of the next batch of guests.

It was not until nearly noon that all the guests who had booked the hotel for the day arrived, and their welcome ceremony came to an end.

After lunch, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo took on the persona of tour guides to take the guests around the farm.

“This is the amusement playground. It is open from 10 am to 6 pm every day. With the bracelet that came with your room, you can go inside and play at any time during the opening hours.

“This is a zoo. There are not many animals in our zoo right now, only a dozen or so species, but they are all cute.

“This is a fish pond. You can fish and rest in this area, but you must pay attention to safety.

“And over there…”

On the tour bus, Lin Momo held a small notebook that she prepared in advance in one hand and a loudspeaker in the other to introduce each area to guests. She was very professional.

Lin Cheng sat to one side and supplemented the information from time to time.

… …

This kind of sightseeing also brought the envy of the audience in the livestream channel to its peak:

[Oh my god, the farm is basically renovated and now it looks like this. Isn’t this too much fun!]

[Even if the hotel room room rates are high end, it’s actually worth it to stay and play like this.]

[Leisure, entertainment, fitness, farming… you basically have it all, it’s really  cool.]

[The price of 168 yuan for the first batch of guests is so worth it…]

[Pay 168 and check into a 1688 resort hotel.]

[I’m envious of the first batch of customers. Not only did they get a great deal, but their idols also served them personally.]

[I feel so torn up, why am I so far away from Z city? Otherwise, I would have gone too.]

[Me too. Although I was very excited when I heard the price, I was not in the same city. Alas…]

[Haha, I’m different. Although I wasn’t in City Z, when Lin Cheng announced the price, I really went to grab it, but I couldn’t get it at all. Sigh.]

[Enough talking! I’ll book it now! I’m going to take annual leave tomorrow!]

[I’ll go too. Even if Momo doesn’t host in person later, the price of 198 a night is still worth it!]

[Don’t even think about it anymore. I just went to check. All the guest rooms for the next two months have been booked. If you want to book a room, you will probably have to camp at the website every day for new slots opening.]

[Damn it, they are now so hot…]

——

At this time in the livestream, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo had brought a group of guests to their farming area.

Here, some guests began to walk around and take photos. Some guests could not wait to start farming under the guidance of on-site farming staff.

Lin Momo stood to one side. At this time, several guests came over.

“Momo, we’re big fans from watching the live broadcast and we really like you. Can you take a photo with us?” One of the girls said to Lin Momo.

“Okay,” Lin Momo nodded and very cooperatively stood among  this small group of people. She made a ‘v’ gesture with her two fingers and the picture was taken.

After taking their photos with Lin Momo, the successful ‘star chasers’ contentedly held their phones and started posting on their WeChat Moments.

After this group had their picture taken, a second wave came to take a photo with Lin Momo.

Without intending to, the original farm visit and experience turned into a photo-taking activity.

… …

[It somehow feels like little Momo has almost turned into a photo standee.]

[Momo’s first day of business.]

[Momo: I am a photo standee that can only have such happy emotions on my face.]

[No, Momo is a dedicated photo standee.]

There were many people taking pictures with Lin Momo. It was not until it was close to dinner time that the guests who had played for most of the day returned to the hotel to rest one after another.

At this time, Lin Momo was so tired that she fell asleep on a bench by the side.

Seeing this, Lin Cheng felt a little distressed and a little funny in his heart.

Lin Cheng stepped forward, picked up Lin Momo, and returned to the office area carrying her in his arms.

Back in the office building, Xu Yi came to report to Lin Cheng.

“Boss, the updated farm valuation from a professional agency that we have requested per your instructions has now been released.”

“How much is the farm valued now?” Lin Cheng asked.

“The current valuation is 485 million.” Xu Yi replied.

The professional valuation included statistics on industrial infrastructure, hardware value, forecasts of business conditions, future prospects, etc. This was only the current price. In the future, with the further expansion of the farm operations and the establishment of the production chain, this valuation could only go higher.

Hearing Xu Yi’s answer, Lin Cheng didn’t seem surprised. He just nodded calmly and said, “Take this valuation report and apply for a loan from the bank. The funds will be used for the establishment of the production chain.”

After explaining, Lin Cheng carried the sleeping Lin Momo back to their room.

… …

However, this brief conversation made comments explode in the livestream channel:

[Fuck! It was only 110 million before, but now it’s 485 million!]

[How did Lin Cheng get to be a business genius?]

[Not a genius, but a big boss!]

[I am really convinced by Lin Cheng.]

[I am shook.]

[I feel too stupid in comparison…]

[So terribly amazing…] someone sighed.

What’s even more frightening was that the entire change in the valuation of the farm—from 110 million to 485 million in value—happened right under their noses.

T/N: 168 is one of those auspicious-sounding string of numbers. It phonetically sounds like ‘fortune all the way’.
