"This is what I think. In addition to the construction scale of our hotel, the guest rooms should be smaller in planning space. The standards in other aspects can actually be closer to the five-star standard. But if we really operate it as a five-star, And because it's not outstanding, I thought it would be better to downgrade it to a four-star hotel as we agreed at the beginning, and the price should be based on a four-star standard. For a standard room of RMB 650 in a hotel, we charge RMB 500 for a four-star hotel, which is quite a lot. However, our service facilities and service levels must meet the five-star requirements or even exceed the five-star requirements. and standards.”
“For example, for towels, slippers, toothbrushes, paper towels, and bath products, generally five-star hotels try to reduce losses and costs, and they only need to use local products of similar quality. We can’t charge for candies, snacks, tea bags, beer, and drinks placed in the room. We have high standards for the quality of consumables, and we also charge for candies, snacks, tea bags, beer, and drinks. It’s free, and each room is equipped with a small refrigerator. We fill it up, put out the most seasonal local fruits, and give guests local pastries and snacks. How much does it cost? It seems that if we are more generous, it doesn't matter if we make a million less."
"We and those who open stores are eager to cut costs, or they have their eyes on money and rip off customers. High-end hotels should be distinguished. In this case, our hotel will be more cost-effective for guests. It is equivalent to guests staying in a five-star hotel at a four-star price. Even though the cost will increase for us, this is not the case! Compared with the hotel room price, it is still a small thing, but it can greatly improve the hotel experience. To be honest, with the current prices in China, it is not much. We only need to spend 20 yuan per room per guest per day. In terms of consumables, if we earn less than 20 yuan, we can treat them like emperors and queens. Even if I can receive this kind of treatment, I can't think of a reason not to stay in our hotel."
< br>"Although our hotel is not the company's main business, it is our first time to get involved in hotel management. We lack experience and there are no features in the hotel decoration to attract guests. We do not have a revolving restaurant or an indoor garden. These are all Really. But the problem is that the comfort created by high-quality services and high-end daily necessities can be called the biggest feature of our hotel! If a little bit of detail accumulates, it can be felt by customers. With our good intentions, we can improve our reputation and achieve a virtuous cycle. After all, tourists who stay in foreign-related hotels like ours travel frequently, so our advantages will be obvious when compared with other places. We need to be extraordinary in the ordinary. Why can’t we break the industry’s prevailing model and take advantage of our company’s advantages in all aspects?”
Not to mention, Ning Weimin’s remarks really live up to this. The expectations of Song Huagui and Zou Guodong.
After hearing his suggestion, both of them felt enlightened.
"Well, Weimin, your idea is indeed interesting. I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Also, you have to make the most of your strengths and avoid weaknesses in everything you do. Instead of trying our best to stay in a five-star hotel To compete, it is better to make the hotel the best among four-star hotels and strive for maximum popularity and passenger flow. If we reduce the competition from behemoths like ours next door to competitors like Jianguo Hotel or Jinglun Hotel, then our advantage will be. That’s a lot. You may not be able to overwhelm them.”
Zou Guodong was the first to express his appreciation.
“Yes, Weimin’s idea is very good. And it is consistent with our brand positioning. Even though our Pierre Cardon company seems to be the representative of high-end clothing in China, in fact, to be honest, we know best , in the international market, Picardon is actually a very popular ready-to-wear brand, especially in developed countries, 'PC' clothing is affordable for any ordinary person like us. If the business takes a high-end route, I'm afraid it will be a joke in the eyes of European customers. Unless we adopt a more historical brand like Maxim, it may still be recognized by some people, but in that case, the brand awareness will be lost. It's not as high as Pierre Cardin. If we do this now, it's just right in my opinion. I think this is a very smart market positioning. Then we will prepare according to Weimin's ideas. I think we can try this. Way.”
Song Huagui then agreed.
It should be said that this is the first time that several of them have such a unanimous view on one thing.
They were both happy that they could reach a consensus so easily.
So several people felt a little unfinished, so they continued chatting along this topic, even forgetting about eating.
In the end, Ning Weimin's stomach growled unsatisfactorily, and he finally reminded Song Huagui and Zou Guodong, making them realize what they had completely ignored.
For this, everyone laughed together.
Then Song Huagui apologized profusely and hurriedly asked everyone to go upstairs to eat.
She said that although the hotel restaurant was still closed, someone at home upstairs had actually been preparing meals today, and that was Zou Guodong’s lover, who was probably waiting in a hurry.
After hearing this, Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko thanked Zou Guodong and said that they had worked hard.
Unexpectedly, it was just polite at first.
Zou Guodong took advantage of this to cause trouble again and deliberately called Ning Weimin into battle.
This guy said that there was no need to thank him, but he had recently encountered a problem in the hotel. As long as Ning Weimin could find a way to help solve it, the meal would not be in vain.
Otherwise, sooner or later, he will have to be returned, and he will have to let Qingzi cook a meal for everyone. Celebrities have no privileges.
Although Ning Weimin knew that Zou Guodong had evil intentions and made things difficult for him, he also knew that he was not evil-minded.
It's just that they are used to it, and their relationship is almost like that of Brother Ikkyu and the owner of the Jigen shop on TV. Quan treats it as a game of wits, so there is no harm in letting him speak frankly.
Who knew that what Zou Guodong was talking about was actually an important matter, and it was something that no one could do anything about at this time.
If it is not solved well, it will definitely affect the normal operation of the hotel.
Recently in China, AIDS phobia is expanding among foreign-related tourism staff such as waiters and tour guides in foreign-related hotels in Beijing.
What the hotel waiters in Beijing hate most now is cleaning foreigners' rooms. They all say, "What if I contract AIDS?"
Some tour guides even try their best to avoid talking to foreigners. shake hands.
As for their hotels, although they are not open yet, there are signs of this kind of panic spreading.
Many of the employees who were finally recruited are wavering because they are afraid of contracting the disease. Many people even want to resign because of this. They are really scared to the core.
Ning Weimin understood the crux of the matter as soon as he heard it.
In fact, the key is that there is not enough research on this disease in this era, and the relevant information is not transparent.
Perhaps even the domestic health department does not have much information about this disease, let alone understanding and treatment. What is certain is that this disease is irregular, has no legal treatment, is terminal, and will soon It can cause death.
To the extent that rumors are spread, and people generally lack relevant common sense, it has caused panic among foreign service personnel, making everyone regard this disease as a scourge.
Nowadays, people generally believe that they can be infected as long as they come into contact with daily objects used by people with AIDS.
So he really did his part. After he went upstairs, in order to refute the rumors, he sat down and took it seriously. He very patiently took out the relevant knowledge he had learned in his previous life and held a popular science class. .
He mainly explained the problems of several ways of transmitting AIDS, and that AIDS itself is not fatal, but only erodes people's immunity.
In the end, AIDS patients will die, all due to complications caused by lack of immunity.
As a result, these people were stunned by the goods in his belly, and they were all dumbfounded.
Ning Weimin was somewhat complacent about this, thinking who we are, it's not easy to clarify this matter.
Unexpectedly, he was so happy that he was really reckless, because when he looked at a table full of good wine and good food, apart from talking about showing off, he was only thinking about eating and drinking, but in the end he just ignored one important thing. thing.
That’s it, the present world report.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zou Guodong asked him a question that he couldn't avoid, let alone answer. It was so embarrassing for him.
"Wei Min, you are very professional. If you don't know, I would think you are an expert who specializes in this disease. Hey, but I'm surprised. How do you know these things? Are you interested? It seems that you have really worked hard on this disease..."
"I..."
Looking at his wife Qingzi, Song Huagui, and even Zou Guodong's wife, these three women all looked at themselves with complex and doubtful eyes. Ning Weimin's pride in gaining the limelight by mastering information in his previous life disappeared in an instant.
What was replaced was a white-haired man sweating as he realized that he had entered a dead end because he was racing too fast.
Today he finally understood what it means to talk too much and lose everything.
Oh shit! To think that the word "trapped in a cocoon" could one day be used on me?
………………
After visiting Song Huagui and seeing the hotel that was about to open, Ning Weimin could not rest for a moment.
Because in addition to him and Qingzi needing to cooperate with the two old people in preparing for their wedding in the capital, he personally also has a lot of official and private matters to deal with, and many people to meet.
Even Keiko Matsumoto has a full schedule because of the release of the movie "Li Xianglan" and the movie's soundtrack album in mainland China.
This is not surprising. It is actually a normal phenomenon for those who are capable to work harder and for those who are mediocre to be free.
Otherwise, Zhuangzi would not have said, "The skilled work hard, the wise worry, the ignorant seek nothing, and they travel when they are full, like a boat without ties."
The reason why rich people are busier than poor people is that they pursue higher value.
Because they themselves are "tools" to create social wealth.
If they stop, their "tools" will lose their effectiveness, and their lives will lose their purpose and meaning.
After this trip, in fact, the most important thing in Ning Weimin's heart is the seeds he sowed last year - Palace Yellow and Purple Gold Hoops, one is Beijing Oil Chicken, and the other is Royal Field Rouge Rice.
So after that, he didn’t go anywhere. He went directly to the Agricultural University and met with the leaders of the two project cooperation groups.
Not to mention, in modern times, having money means easy things to do. These two things are really good in the hands of experts.
First of all, the number of chickens raised in the experimental pasture under the Agricultural University has been expanded from about 100 to nearly 500, and they are divided into three pastures to be completely raised.
Although only half of the oil chickens have the appearance and production characteristics of the royal yellow body, the road to breeding and breeding is still long, and the day when it can be industrialized is still far away.
But this should be regarded as having successfully preserved the best chicken breed in the capital, and there will no longer be any accidents that will cause it to become extinct.
At the same time, those chickens that were eliminated because they did not meet the standards can also be eaten.
Although it is a defective product, it is stained with palace yellow seeds and is free-range, so the taste is still far superior to ordinary chicken breeds.
After learning that Ning Weimin returned to Beijing to hold a wedding, Li Zengguang, the expert in charge of the palace yellow team, offered to give Ning Weimin some substandard chickens if he didn't mind. Used for wedding receptions.
At least forty or fifty is enough to guarantee supply.
Ning Weimin was naturally overjoyed, and this was an unexpected surprise.
As for the Purple Gold Hoop, the Agricultural University’s experimental field was set up in Shangzhuang, Haidian, with a total of two hectares designated.
When Ning Weimin saw the rice fields, the rice had already begun to sprout ears, and the growth rate looked quite good. It was already a pastoral scene in the prosperous times.
Tang You once wrote in a poem that the rice and weeping wheat are high enough for yin and yang, and the soil is thick, springs are fragrant, licorice and wood are fragrant. It's almost like this when he spits out two qi and holds nine ears of ears, and a star in the sky greets Nongxiang.
Hong Yingfang, the expert in charge of the team, also feels that God is in good hands and has predicted the production volume quite optimistically.
He said that the yield of freshly milled rice after polishing, chip removal and other processes can reach more than 200 kilograms per mu, and a total harvest of four to five thousand kilograms should be achieved, although it is worse than the average Jingxi rice yield of six to seven hundred kilograms per mu. Far away.
But this is indeed a good harvest for rouge rice.
Under normal circumstances, one acre of land can produce about a hundred catties.
Otherwise, why is this kind of rice so scarce?
But the good news is that rice cultivation yields quick results and is not as troublesome as raising chickens.
Moreover, rouge rice is special and can be harvested before the white dew.
Even if the planting area expands five times next year, seeds need to be saved after this year’s harvest.
At that time, they will be able to leave half of the rouge rice for Ning Weimin to sell.
That’s more than two thousand kilograms.
More is of course not much. If it were really open for sale, it would not be enough for the Tan Gong Restaurant Head Office to sell to the outside world.
But if you get it to Japan, it should be enough to fool the little devils with this thing.
9900 yen for a bowl of rice is not expensive, right?
This is for the royal family, the Nine-Nine Supreme.
That pound of rice can still produce five and a half peas, even if it is sold for 50,000 yen.
These two thousand kilograms of rouge rice can be exchanged for 100 million yen, which is several million yuan!
Well done.
How can Ning Weimin be unhappy?
Who said there are no top-quality ingredients in China?
We have found this too. (End of this chapter)
