Chapter 438 Prince Hotel
Japan in the 1980s, whether in the bustling urban core or in a romantic and quiet scenic spot.
Everyone can find that a huge hotel chain system exists - Prince Hotels, Inc.
Since the first hotel was born in 1947 by Yasujiro Tsutsumi.
The Prince Hotel continued to expand and grow, and eventually flourished in the hands of Ichiaki Tsutsumi, becoming the largest hotel and leisure enterprise in Japan.
For this reason, after taking over XJTLU Group, Tsui Yiming took the initiative to give up the railway and chemical businesses, and instead devoted all his resources to the integration of real estate and hotel businesses.
As for the reason why the Prince Hotel is so successful, it is able to dominate and outperform its peers.
In fact, the secret mainly lies in two points.
First, the hotel has a good foundation and the location of Prince Hotel is very advantageous.
Since the time of Tsutsumi Yasujiro, Nishiura Group has focused on acquiring real estate from declining nobles.
You know, in Japan, extremely high-quality land has always been controlled by aristocratic groups in the past.
After World War II, the emperor became a puppet and the privileges of the old nobles were abolished.
So in order to avoid bearing high property taxes, the nobles had to leave the royal family and sell the villas under their names.
There is no doubt that the excellent location and environment of these mansions provide Prince Hotel with unique advantages.
The Prince Hotel is also named after this, and it is indeed well-deserved.
Second, the investment is large and the project planning is perfect.
In order to cater to the needs of the wealthy, XJTLU Group always strives to build various entertainment venues around the hotel in order to create a comprehensive linkage effect.
Such as golf courses, ski resorts, ice rinks, tennis courts and swimming pools.
This is the strategy proposed by Kazaki Tsutsumi. He strives to operate the hotel in a resort model.
It can not only meet the leisure and entertainment needs of guests, enhance the attractiveness of the hotel, but also make all the money that can be earned into one's own pocket.
For example, the Tokyo Prince Hotel, the first hotel opened by the XJTLU Group, is a typical example of the perfect combination of geographical advantages and various types of entertainment.
This thirty-three-story hotel building not only has natural hot springs, a variety of restaurants, gyms, and swimming pools.
And it is also surrounded by the greenery of the ancient Shiba Park, with tranquility and vast sky that are very rare in the urban core.
Especially in the park, the radio tower modeled after the Eiffel Tower is a landmark building in Tokyo and a famous tourist check-in place.
As you can imagine, it is in the panoramic restaurant on the 33rd floor of the Tokyo Prince Hotel.
How comfortable is it for guests to enjoy delicious food while enjoying the scenery outside the building?
This is the unparalleled unique feature of this Prince Hotel flagship store.
In fact, the entire Republic delegation, including officials, models and their entourage, consisted of thirty-four people.
After the performance, I was very fortunate to be invited by XJTLU Department Store to attend a thank you dinner held specifically for them.
At the scene, all the Republic models were wearing evening gowns, all of which were donated by XJTLU Department Store.
In such a meal, you can enjoy delicious food and wine while also admiring the beauty of many beautiful models and the extremely bright Tokyo Tower at night. The taste is really unforgettable.
However, it must be revealed that there is actually a lot behind this grand banquet.
On the surface, XJTLU Department Store held a business banquet to celebrate the successful cooperation between itself and the Ministry of Textiles of the Republic.
But in fact, there was someone else who spent the money, and that was the XJTLU Group, which had nothing to do with this business cooperation but suffered huge losses.
It must be admitted that this time the internal disputes within the Tsutsumi family ended with Tsutsumi Ichiki's victory.
With the help of the pigtail held in his hand, he not only got what he wished for, but also obtained shares in the Nishiura Department Store Ikebukuro main store for 700 million yuan.
And it also caused a huge loss of face for Tsui Yiming and his son.
I was forced to push two subordinates to stand up for Ti Kangguang and apologize to the delegation in person.
And he had to be taken advantage of once, so that he could save money and avoid disaster by treating him to a customer for the Xitura Department Store.
It means that Di Yiqing took advantage of everything.
In the end, he fulfilled his promise to the delegation of the Republic in a quite honorable way.
For this reason, it was difficult for him to conceal his complacency. At this banquet, he was chatting and laughing, feeling very proud.
But what surprised him was that the XJTLU Group, which should be feeling pain and heartache, seemed to not care about it at all.
He actually took the initiative to put his hot face on his cold butt, showing his wealth and generosity.
Not only were the wines and delicacies provided at the banquet quite high, but the service was also meticulous.
In the middle of the banquet, Tsuyasu Hikaru actually showed up accompanied by the general manager of the Prince Hotel.
What’s even more surprising is that he came to toast Di Yiqing in person with a smile on his face, as if he had never been dissatisfied with his uncle for plotting against him.
He is an outstanding young man who values family ties and understands etiquette.
He also took the opportunity to express his goodwill to the delegation of the Republic. When he heard that the delegation was about to return to China, he immediately offered to provide free food and accommodation for the delegation of the Republic for two days in person.
We warmly invite the entire delegation to stay at the Prince Hotel before returning to China to experience the attentive service here.
We also need to arrange for someone to accompany the delegation to visit the surrounding Zhi Park.
Of course, the two division chiefs who led the delegation were elated, but they were disrespectful.
If nothing else, the key is to attract foreign investment into the country, which is the top priority of all foreign-related units in the Republic today.
Facing Tsutsumi Kangguang, who is so enthusiastic and considers himself a junior of Tsuichi Ichiki, and then looking at the luxurious Prince Hotel owned by the Tsutsumi family.
It would be abnormal if they, who were unaware of the specific situation of the Tsui family, did not come up with the idea of contributing to the Republic's economic and trade relations with Japan.
So during the dinner, the two division directors had a lively chat with Di Yasuguang and introduced the domestic investment situation wishfully.
I didn't realize that Di Yiqing gradually became silent, with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Of course, the female models were also overjoyed, and they all felt that they were so lucky to be able to meet Tsuyoshi Hikaru.
I have to say that there are no hotels of this level in the country.
The dinner party that day was so unexpected, with fine wine, delicacies, flowers and utensils, like bombs, which greatly shocked their hearts.
It was as if someone gave them a push and suddenly they saw a dazzling new world.
As soon as they entered the panoramic restaurant on the 33rd floor, they couldn't help but be fascinated by it and didn't want to leave.
I never expected that I could stay in such a world for two more nights and go to the surrounding parks. There will even be someone to accompany them and guide them. Who could not be happy?
Looking forward to it without dissatisfaction.
So much so that almost all female models have a very good impression of Tikako Hikari.
Before the party even ended, the models were already talking privately.
“Did you see that? He is truly wealthy. He owns the entire hotel. He is generous, handsome, and graceful. He is really a very charismatic person.”
“ That is, compared to those shown on domestic TV, they have become landowners. Look at the returned overseas Chinese in "Wrangler", how can they compare with others?"
"Then? But no, movies and TV shows are all fake, but this is real. Do you know how many luxurious hotels there are? I’m afraid it will scare you. There are photos in the brochure of this hotel. I counted them. , there are more than a dozen of them.”
"Ah? So many! My God! These are not millionaires anymore! No, I have to get a booklet to read."
"What else are millionaires? Let me see Even in the old society, all of us capitalists combined can barely compare with others. Look at this carpet, the decoration of this restaurant, and by the way, every room has a color TV, a refrigerator, and an air conditioner. How much do these electrical appliances cost?”
“Oh, don’t say it again, it’s really scary. In the past, we always said that we wanted to liberate others. We don’t know if we don’t go abroad. We will scare people when we come out. Jump. Looking at it now, it turns out that we ourselves have been living in dire straits. Oh, by the way, do you think that such a person is so rich that he can really fall in love with Qu Xiao? "
"I don't think so. The matter has been explained clearly. It was a misunderstanding. It was the subordinate of the young master of the Di family who drank too much and watched the costume show and made a bet, which caused the misunderstanding. Everyone has apologized. How can this be false? Besides, there are so many beautiful girls in Japan. I think everyone is eager to marry this rich man! Is there anyone who will cry when she goes back today? I'm afraid our number one model will also regret it. This misunderstanding is not true, right? After all, if they are interested, she can have everything here forever..." br>
"Disgusting! What you said is so disgusting! Just because he is rich, as long as he is a woman, she has to like him. Why not live with money for the rest of his life? I can't laugh when I see her. She is so simple, but she doesn't So you are just talking nonsense, you are jealous."
"Oh, Shi Kaili, what do you mean, you little brat, you are too lazy to tell me. You're so fake, don't stay in this hotel! Don't move here if you can!"
"It's just a pretense! I don't believe it! If she really wants to pursue Xiaoqu, she can still be willing to do it. This is something that most people would not dare to think about, and she is not stupid..."
There are always a lot of quarrels between women.
Soon, these gossipy nonsense spread all over the delegation, making Qu Xiao feel doubly embarrassed.
In the middle of the banquet, she clearly felt that almost everyone in the delegation was looking at her with a look that she couldn't tell whether it was sarcasm or ridicule.
No one of these familiar models was close to her, and she seemed to be distant even if she talked in a hurry.
Especially, Tsuyoshi Kwang was chatting with the models one by one during the banquet, and when it was his turn to face her, he deliberately behaved openly and generously.
Calmly ask her which countries she has performed in, and hope she can perform at the Prince Hotel if she has the opportunity.
During this process, the eyes behind her were like needles on her back.
After finally waiting until the banquet was over, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Like Cinderella returning to her original form, she couldn’t wait to leave the restaurant first and hid in the car that came to pick up the delegation.
After returning to the dormitory, I really learned from Shi Kaili’s mouth what others said about her.
Qu Xiao couldn't help but shed tears of grievance, and couldn't help hugging Shi Kaili.
"I don't, I won't be like what they said... I don't have any affection for that Tikanguang. If I had known, I wouldn't have gone today..."
A good friend is a good friend, Shi Kaili quickly expressed her attitude.
“I know, I know, you hate the kind of people who pretend to be elegant. Especially the rich and powerful. What you like is the kind who are handsome, kind, don’t show off, and are kind. Someone who can be considerate and respectful to girls. Just like Brother Ning, right? "
"Hate! Why are you making fun of me?"
Qu Xiao's tears are getting worse. Gurgling.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. In order to show that I am fully on your side, I have decided that the two of us will stay alone and not join in the fun with them. What do you think? Which of them is willing? Who will stay in that shabby hotel? We both live well, why bother? If you don’t move, we won’t move. If you kneel down and beg us, we won’t move either..."
Qu Xiao wiped away her tears and sighed. "You are just talking like a child. Little girl, the leader wants everyone to move together, who can disobey the arrangement? If we don't act in unison with everyone, how can we go back? Shouldn't we go through the return procedures ourselves and go to the airport by ourselves? ”
Shi Kaili thought for a while and had another idea. "Then let's move there instead of going to that shabby park. Let them go, and we'll just say we're not feeling well and ask for leave. Then let's go shopping by ourselves? Buy something we like and take it back."
qu Laughing was finally amused. "Do you really dare to think that you still go shopping when you don't understand the language? Besides, we only have a few money! I think we'd better stay in the room."
"Hey, don't you know how? "English? That's enough! Hey, I really have a great idea! The money thing is actually easy to talk about!"
Shi Kaili said excitedly.
"You don't know, Japanese clothes can be returned casually. I've seen this several times at Nishiura Department Store. You probably don't know either, but the clothes Nishiura Department Store gave us can be returned with a small receipt. That evening dress costs 200,000 yen, which is almost half a month’s salary for Japanese people! Can we get money if we return it?”
Qu smiled and smiled. Eyes, Shi Kaili, who was talking more and more energetically, was completely confused.
Can I really withdraw? Can it still be like this?
That night, almost at the same time.
The members of the Di family are also in their respective camps, thinking about each other.
Ichiki Tsutsumi turned his back to the night view outside the window and sighed to Yoshikawa, the general manager of Nishiura Department Store.
"My nephew has finally grown up. You should pay more attention to it in the future. You must treat it with caution. Stop treating Kang Guang as a child, let alone try to tease him or embarrass him. It has lost its practical meaning. The provocation is not worthwhile."
"Also, I plan to promote you to the position of executive. What you have to do next is to sort out our internal problems and dispose of the remaining small shareholders' shares as soon as possible. Okay..."
Yoshikawa bowed respectfully.
“Yes, President, I will get it done!”
Tsutsumi Yasumi was in a luxurious suite at the Prince Hotel, talking on the phone with his father Tsutsumi Ichiki to report on today's situation.
"Yes, father, I completely surprised my uncle today. I am still his good nephew."
"Yes, exactly as you asked. Regarding those Chinese people I have arranged the reception specifications and standards, and treated them as if they were distinguished guests."
"Yes, my uncle attaches great importance to people from this backward country. I don't understand why, but you. It makes sense. He would not do such a thing if there were no extraordinary interests and foreseeable success in front of him."
"It is very obvious that there must be huge profit expectations behind it. Prompt him to be so polite. I will try to figure it out."
"Huh? What? That girl... yes, she is here too. She... is a very quiet person, which impressed me... Frankly speaking, in face-to-face contact, she looks younger than she looks on stage. Many, just like what is written in "Izu Dancing Girl", with rich and dark hair, and a face as beautiful as a flower, it is indeed very pure... No, no, as the heir of the Nishiura Group, my energy and time will be focused on business. . I won’t get dizzy over that girl again..."
At this time, on the other end of the phone, the "Emperor" of the Nishiura Group was in the hot spring pool, answering the phone while hugging a pretty girl. The charming woman laughed happily.
After he hung up the phone, he deliberately spoke to the woman in his arms with inappropriate emphasis.
"Only blood relatives can truly understand each other! You must not believe that Kang Guang, that kid, has always been obsessed with you..." "When he accidentally met a young girl who looked like you, he fainted Head..."
"Haha! He's so embarrassed to admit it! Isn't it?"
The woman smiled sweetly and lowered her head pretending to be shy.
She is the Japanese national female movie star, Sayuri Yoshinaga, who is nearly forty years old.
