Chapter 270: New Year's Eve

The next day, Li Yang bought the necessary ingredients from the system mall and brought them to Alwalid's manor, preparing to cook a few Chinese dishes for Alwalid.

Because of the prince's beliefs, some ingredients such as pork and other ingredients are inedible, and Li Yang can only change the boiled meat slices that he is good at to boiled beef.

The basic method is much the same, but the ingredients are changed, and the Dongpo pork that he is good at can't be made, so he plans to make another steamed fish and a chicken breast and orange rice.

The kitchen of the Prince's estate is comparable to that of a five-star hotel, and it is said that the chef is a Michelin-starred chef specially invited by the prince from France.

Hearing that Li Yang was going to cook a Chinese meal for the prince, several chefs were all curious onlookers, fortunately Li Yang was confident in his craft, otherwise he would really be seen by a few cooks.

The kitchen utensils in the kitchen are readily available, and Li Yang skillfully began to prepare the ingredients, and the three dishes were cooked simultaneously.

Prince Alwaleed also watched the whole process and chatted with Li Yang about Chinese food.

When the boiled beef came out of the pot, Alwaleed was already smiling, swallowing his saliva, and what he liked most was the spicy and fragrant taste of Sichuan food.

"This is good!" Li Yang beckoned to the waiter on the side, motioning for him to bring the boiled beef to the table.

Soon, the chicken breast and orange rice and steamed fish were all served to the table, and Li Yang and Alwalid came to his spacious and luxurious dining room.

"These three are my favorite dishes, prince, please taste them!" Li Yang said with a smile.

The prince had eaten Chinese food many times, and even used chopsticks, which he also had at home, and he used chopsticks to taste the light-looking steamed fish first, although he wanted to eat boiled beef the most, but he was afraid that the strong taste would affect his taste of other delicacies.

The moment the steamed fish was eaten, Alwalid suddenly showed a look of surprise.

He's eaten a lot of food, all the world's top chefs, and steamed fish isn't a rare dish, he's eaten it many times.

But Li Yang's steamed fish still surprised him very much, the meat is tender and delicious, and the most important thing is that the flavor of all the ingredients has penetrated into the fish, which does not cover the deliciousness of the fish itself, and perfectly matches the rich taste experience.

It seems to be a very light dish, but the taste is rich and layered, which still makes him full of relish, although he has eaten many steamed fish cooked by top chefs, Li Yang's cooking can still be ranked in the top three.

"Excellent, Li, your craftsmanship is so good, it tastes better than all the steamed fish I've ever eaten in China!" Alwaleed gave a thumbs up, admiring again and again.

Then he tasted the chicken breast and orange rice and the boiled beef, and when he ate the boiled beef, Alwaleed had a very satisfied expression on his face, and he chewed slowly with an intoxicated face, savoring the spicy and fragrant taste.

As soon as Alwaleed was happy, he chatted with Li Yang a lot about the hotel industry, as well as his experience in hotel investment, as well as the analysis of the current global form.

Li Yang suddenly felt that his meal was too worthwhile, and the meal was exchanged for the experience sharing of a big man who stood at the forefront and top of the world.

This is comparable to in martial arts, where the protagonist uses a meal to set up the peerless martial arts taught by top masters.

Of course, Li Yang also knows that this person sometimes pays attention to a fate when he gets along with others, as the so-called wine meets a confidant with a thousand cups and does not speculate more than half a sentence, Alwaleed can talk so much with Li Yang, and because he admires Li Yang, he is naturally willing to chat with him more.

Li Yang spent three days in Riyadh and reached a consensus with Prince Alwaleed, in order to increase the popularity and influence of Dream Catcher Group in the global hotel industry.

Dream Catcher Group will acquire Four Seasons Hotel George V as normal, and the price will be determined after negotiation with Four Seasons Group.

The prince promised that he would take a stake in the Dream Catcher Group with no less than the purchase price of the George V Hotel.

After returning from Riyadh, Li Yang immediately started the project of acquiring the George V Hotel, and the project team flew to Toronto again to start the acquisition negotiation and asset evaluation.

……

After Zhang Yang became an instant hit and became famous, he began to be active in major variety shows, and his popularity became higher and higher.

But on December 2, Zhang Yang announced on Weibo that he would hold his and Liu Lan's official wedding on March 15 next year at the Love Nest Resort in Bali.

This guy also deliberately said that he was mistaken for a real marriage in the show last time, so he emphasized that this time it was a real marriage, not a fake marriage.

As a result, March 15 is Consumer Rights Day, which is also an annual anti-counterfeiting event.

So it was very happily connected by netizens, and the hot search topic of 315 real marriage was born, which successfully appeared on the hot search list, and countless netizens shouted that the wedding date was very public.

And this news has once again brought Dream Catcher Group and Love Nest Resort Hotel into the public eye, bringing a new wave of orders to Dream Catcher Group's overseas weddings.

In fact, the wedding of Gu Xiaotong and Lu Yuhan was based on the popularity of the program "Let's Get Married", and a series of follow-up marketing and publicity of Dream Catching Group.

The orders for overseas weddings have been very hot, and even the wedding venues with a few good dates are completely insufficient.

Fortunately, because Dream Catcher Group has acquired several new resorts in Bali, the choice of wedding venues is more and more diverse.

Despite this, there is still a shortage of venues for weddings with good dates, and honeymoon packages are also selling well, with honeymoon packages in Tahiti now available.

With the operation of travel agencies and clubs, as well as the sales model of honeymoon packages and travel packages, the travel agencies and high-end overseas travel clubs of Dream Catcher Group are also operating very well, and the reasons for the scattering of tourists' time and location are better solved.

It is a good way to concentrate the travel time of tourists, and cooperate with other travel agencies to gather different sources of tourists together, and tourists from all over the country will fly to Pearl City to take direct flights to Tahiti.

After all, there are no direct flights to Tahiti in China, and it is really troublesome and painful to replace them, and it is a waste of time, so everyone is naturally happy to have direct flights, even if the flight time is one or two days away from their travel plans, they are willing to adjust for direct flights.

At present, every flight from Pearl City to Tahiti can reach more than 60% passenger load rate, and it can even be directly full during peak periods.

Therefore, the current flight operation has been completely self-financing, and the operation is good.

"Mr. Li, according to the current passenger flow and the analysis of the existing booking situation, we plan to add direct flights from Modu to Tahiti after New Year's Day, and outbound travel will reach a peak during the Spring Festival!"

"Very good, execute according to the plan!" Li Yang said, although the group's development pace and pace are fast, but with the joint efforts of the team, every step is solid.

At present, whether it is the brand of Youmao Inn, this Youshan B&B Resort, or Ranwu Lake International RV Campground, all of them are developing very well.

At present, the Youshan project team is preparing and planning to build a second high-end luxury homestay resort, and the new RV campsite project is about to be launched.

"By the way, this year's annual meeting plan can be put on the agenda!" Li Yang said.

Although the end of the year is approaching, the various business sectors of Dream Catching Group are busier, but despite this, Li Yang still plans to hold an annual meeting, which is also the first annual meeting since the establishment of Dream Catching Group, Li Yang naturally cannot be ambiguous.

Li Yang has also worked for other people, and he knows very well that whenever he reaches the end of the year, he sees the annual meeting of other people's companies, and the prizes and year-end bonuses are rich, and he is envious and jealous in his heart.

For employees, the quality of the annual meeting and the amount of the year-end bonus are definitely the best return for themselves this year, and it is also the best moment to show off their company, even if they can't be extravagant and wasteful in response to the country, but at least let them have face.

Li Yang had briefly chatted with several high-level executives about some plans and budgets for the annual meeting before, and several high-level executives were surprised at that time, but they didn't expect that their boss was really bold and generous enough.

As for the year-end bonus, no matter how long the employee has been in the company, there is a year-end bonus of at least one month's salary.

As for those with outstanding performance, according to the rank, the year-end bonus is at least three months' salary.

In addition to cash and physical prizes, there will also be generous prizes at the annual meeting, including a week-long tour of Bali for two, a tour for two in Tahiti and so on.

"Okay Mr. Li, let's come up with a plan as soon as possible!"

……

As New Year's Day 2022 approaches, Tong Shuya also began to be busy running around various David TVs, participating in the rehearsal and recording of the New Year's Eve party, and even participated in the recording of the online party.

The annual meeting of the Dream Catcher Group has also begun to prepare, and the annual meeting is planned to be held after returning from the New Year's Day holiday, and each department has to prepare one or two evening programs.

However, at the end of the year, the tourism market is more hot, and the work of various departments is also busier, so employees basically squeeze out their rest time to prepare and rehearse the programs of their respective departments together, and even many employees even give up their rest during the New Year's Day holiday and rehearse the programs in the company.

What kind of dances, songs, cross talk sketches, Li Yang found that his employees have a lot of talents.

On the evening of New Year's Day, Li Yang called the employees of the group who stayed on duty or did not go home, and invited everyone to eat and sing K together, and spend a lively Chinese New Year's Eve together.

During this period, Tong Shuya also called Li Yang and told her that everything went smoothly in the evening performance, and most of the parties that Tong Shuya participated in were recorded and broadcast, and only one was live.

But she had experience in holding concerts, she didn't feel nervous, the live broadcast performance was very smooth, although Li Yang accompanied the employees on New Year's Eve and didn't watch the party, he also knew that Tong Shuya would definitely be able to complete the performance perfectly.

At the same time, Li's father and Li's mother, who are far away in their hometown in the Northeast, and my sister's family are also watching the New Year's Day party of Liaoning Satellite TV.

Dad Li immediately raised his mobile phone to shoot Tong Shuya's program, and then sent it to his classmates and friends WeChat group with satisfaction.

"Old classmates, I saw this show just now, this little girl who plays the piano is my daughter-in-law, this little girl is amazing, she and Langlang performed together before!" Dad Li sent a voice.

Soon received a bunch of replies, most of which used emojis instead of verbal exaggeration, and there were also some talkative voices to cheer the scene.

"Oh, Lao Li, your daughter-in-law here looks very energetic, like a big star!"

"Lao Li, your son is married to a big star!"

Dad Li picked up his mobile phone and replied: "Lao Wang, my daughter-in-law here is a pianist, and she is a big star!"

"Thank you, everyone, my daughter-in-law is amazing now, I heard my son say that many TV stations have invited her to perform, and she will be invited to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala this year!"

Just when Li Yang's father was showing off his daughter-in-law, Li's mother called Li Yang: "Son, we just saw Tong Shuya's show, and the performance is so good-where are you, so noisy?"

"Mom, I'm accompanying these employees of the company on New Year's Eve at KTV!" said Li Yang at the other end.

"Oh, son, be sure to bring Tong Shuya back to meet us during the Spring Festival this year, if it is inconvenient for her to come, I will go to the city with your father to see you after the Spring Festival!"

"Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely take her to see you, but the Spring Festival people are also going home to accompany their parents, don't worry, when she's done, I'll discuss the time with her!"

"Okay, okay, then mom is waiting for your news!" said Li's mother.

Li Yang, who was in a KTV in the city capital, looked at his mobile phone and couldn't cry or laugh, this mother was really anxious, this was for fear that Tong Shuya would become famous and run away!

Putting away his mobile phone, Li Yang returned to the private room,

After a long time, when the clock rang at zero o'clock, everyone cheered excitedly: "Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year—"

Subsequently, everyone held the microphone together and sang an unforgettable tonight, but everyone played too highly, and an unforgettable tonight was naturally not the end.

When Li Yang returned home, it was almost three o'clock in the morning, so he took a comfortable hot bath and went to bed.

This sleep went straight to ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, Li Yang turned on the mobile phone network, and received dozens of WeChat messages one after another, most of which were New Year's greetings sent by former friends, classmates, and employees of his own company.

There are also WeChat messages from my parents, as well as Tong Shuya's.

In order to be able to sleep peacefully, Li Yang habitually turned off the Internet, and if someone really had something urgent to find him, he would naturally call.

Tong Shuya sent a WeChat message to tell Li Yang that she had already boarded the plane.

Li Yang knew that Tong Shuya's plane at nine o'clock today was expected to arrive at half past eleven, Li Yang quickly got up, washed up briefly, and asked the driver to drive him to the airport.

On the way, Li Yang bought a KFC, called his parents, and replied to some WeChat at work.

Although it is currently the New Year's Day holiday, due to the special industry of Li Yang Company, it is decided that a large part of the company's grassroots employees are unable to take statutory holidays normally.

And the more holidays, the busier the inns and hotels, so the relevant employees and managers are going to work normally.

Not only that, but the acquisition of the George V Hotel is also not stopping, and it is now nearing completion, and it is expected that the full asset transfer will be completed in another week or so.
