Chapter 106: Arrival in Beijing
As soon as he got out of the Capital International Airport, Zhang Nan saw the yellow van outside, which is the most famous taxi in Beijing today!
But when he glanced at the outfit on his body, his eyes searched again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Hey, that's good!"
In addition to the taxi stand with a starting price of ten dollars and ten kilometers, and one dollar for each kilometer exceeded, there are two almost brand new Volga GAZ-24s.
Zhang Nan knows the price of noodles, because it will be a price for more than ten years in the future! Now it is super expensive, but in the mid-90s, it was more acceptable.
The starting price is 10 yuan! How much is the salary now?!
And those two almost brand new Volga GAZ-24s, in fact, are not Soviet originals, they should have been assembled in North Korea and Mongolia.
Now that there are more imported cars, Huaxia no longer looks down on Soviet cars, and the last batch of Volga imported from China was actually dumped by the Soviet Union: as soon as they arrived in China, the original high-end chief car became a rental car and was pulled down from the altar.
The first time he came to the capital in the 90s was in the summer, and Zhang Nan was hot enough! And the car he caught up with was probably just going to the vegetable market, not to mention the smell inside.
If you have a shadow in your heart, then try the original chieftain car, which is said to be a good car.
Sitting in one, it is not the high backrest that was popular in later generations, or the flat kind.
Said to the driver: "Beijing International Hotel." ”
Compared with decades later, the traffic in the capital is incredible!
The capital has not yet become the "first block", and it is very pleasant to sit in the car.
"Sir is an overseas Chinese?" The driver in his thirties is very enthusiastic, probably this will be Volga's business is not as good as the top, try to get a chartered business.
Because it's more expensive than noodles!
"Oh, where do you see that?"
The driver said with a smile: "As soon as you come out of the airport, you will go to the International Hotel, and you don't even ask the price of the car. ”
Drivers often run to airports, knowing that trolley cases will seem to be only available in the United States.
"You guessed it right, but I basically live in China, and it's about 28 kilometers to the hotel, don't fool me!"
As soon as he heard Zhang Nan's words, the driver gave a thumbs up: "Expert!"
Talking and laughing, the car arrived at the International Hotel, and when parking, Zhang Nan looked at the taximeter: a total of forty-three yuan, five yuan per kilometer, this person did not detour.
But the price is high!
Until he paid and left, Zhang Nan didn't say anything about chartering a car, which made the driver a little disappointed: the hotel has a chartered car, car rental and taxi business, so he can't be in a hurry now.
Why go to International Hotel?
Because this 29-storey Beijing International Hotel has just opened this year, the hardware facilities are good, and the location is excellent!
Located in the central business district of Beijing, on East Chang'an Street, adjacent to the Great Hall of the People, the Ministry of Commerce... It is close to the embassies of various countries in China and the Huaxia offices of multinational companies, only one street away from Wangfujing Pedestrian Street, and only 10 minutes' drive from Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City.
Pull the trolley box into the hotel lobby, sweep left and right: there are many foreigners.
I walked to the front desk, took out my U.S. green card, and said to the front desk, "I need a business suite on the 23rd floor." ”
"Okay, you wait, I'll handle it for you right away..."The front desk service attitude is very good, and the International Hotel is worthy of being one of the best hotels in Beijing.
Why did Zhang Nan move in as an overseas Chinese? He has the identity of a deputy general manager, and he even has a work card from the Materials Bureau.
You must know that it is now the same type of room in the same foreign-related hotel, and the cost of accommodation for "foreign guests" will be much higher than that for "domestic guests"!
Because if it weren't for the name of that overseas Chinese, he wouldn't be able to live in a satisfactory room here: those suites, "domestic guests" don't even think about it unless they have a very high-level unit reservation!
Spit it out!
That would be the case.
Besides, when he went to the capital this time, what Zhang Nan wanted to do was not a chicken or a dog thief, and it could be put on the table.
No need to sneak around.
And Zhang Nan has a rule for both his lives: when he goes out, as long as the conditions allow, he must first live comfortably!
This is the experience summed up by countless people who go out and about, and it can't be wrong.
Of course, if the conditions don't allow it, then he can also be at ease with what he encounters: a buyer and a tomb robber, what hasn't he encountered?
The front desk is very fast, "Sir, do you pay cash or credit card?"
Seeing the sign on the side, Zhang Nan said, "Swipe the card." ”
The sign says in English: MasterCard can be used.
This year, Mastercard has only entered China, and it has been issued in small quantities in Beijing, because many Western tourists will use this card, as one of the latest high-end hotels in Beijing, international hotels have also opened this card business.
Zhang Nan not only has Citibank's VIP gold card, because Mastercard is headquartered in New York, and is currently the world's leading payment company, Nicole considered that the boss is very likely to run around the world, so she got a gold card for him that only came out this year.
Although Citibank has business all over the world, in terms of professional payment, sometimes, some places are still not as good as Mastercard, the most professional payment company.
But when Zhang Nan took out his Mastercard from his wallet, the hotel front desk even froze.
She was sure that the laser-proof card was Mastercard, but she had never seen one of those colors.
Zhang Nan didn't use this card in China, but he inadvertently pretended to be forced again.
(I've been busy for the past few days, and there's only one shift tonight.) )
