Jiang Ruo had to turn over in the afternoon at a formal meeting that had been prepared for a long time, and in the morning, she stayed in the hospital to guard Qiao Hui, and memorized the information given by the other party from beginning to end.

She took cold medicine, but it didn't seem to have any effect, she was always drowsy, and from time to time she felt a pinprick pain in her brain.

At noon, she ate something at the Hong Kong-style tea restaurant outside the hospital, ordered a bowl of porridge, and after eating two bites, her stomach began to feel uncomfortable and she gave up decisively.

At half past two in the afternoon, I arrived at the Peninsula Hotel near the sea in the east of the city, and the meeting was held in the hotel's living room.

Half a month ago, Jiang Ruo received this job offer, with a good salary, and the participants were executives of large multinational hotel investment groups.

Party A, who hired Jiangruo, is the general manager of a young boutique hotel in China.

When Jiang Ruo was an undergraduate, he had been exposed to hotel management courses, and he was not very unfamiliar with the professional vocabulary on the materials.

The preparations before the meeting were sufficient, the meeting went smoothly, and Jiang Ruo was still comfortable even if he was unwell.

However, things did not go 100% smoothly, and when it was about to end, the person in charge of the other party who had not made his attitude clear: "As far as we know, all the current low-end economic chain hotels in China are not only unsatisfactory in management, but also have a low user experience." DS Hotels is a high-star hotel for the world, targeting cross-border tourism groups for many years. Your company may not be low-end economy, but it is too young, the grade is not high enough, for the domestic tourist crowd, your historical data is not convincing enough, DS to provide you with the brand on the way, there is a problem, smashed the DS signboard.

After she finished speaking, her fingers tapped on the table, and she added with an inexplicable smile: "Especially your countrymen are quite picky." ”

The person who spoke was a middle-aged white woman, capable and sharp.

During the translation process, Jiang Ruo obviously felt that the other party had a kind of contempt and disdain for this country whose purchasing power was constantly increasing.

In particular, the word 'picky' is emphasized, so that these two words have nothing to do with praise.

Nowadays, foreigners constantly want to come to the country to make money, but they have old-fashioned prejudices against the country.

Jiang Ruo's Party A retorted: "You seem to have misunderstood the positioning of our company, we are taking the boutique hotel route, which is fundamentally different from the low-end chain hotels. With the substantial increase in the number of inbound travelers, there is no shortage of boutique hotels with standardized management in major scenic spots. The land price of the scenic spot is not cheap, especially the complex terrain of some scenic spots, and it is not ideal to open up high-rise buildings. ”

Party A said with a red face, but he was repeating what he had just said, knowing that the other party was deliberately embarrassed, but it was not good to put on a tough attitude.

After Jiang Ruo relayed it, he asked Party A's opinion and said, "Can I say a few words from my own standpoint?"

Party A hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Jiang Ruo said to the person in charge: "When I was in college, the teacher of a hotel management course used to take the development of DS Group outside the country as an example, and DS also signed a hotel management contract with a small hotel that had just developed, and the hotel was located in a small country in the Middle East, and it was still in business, and the income was rising steadily, so this has nothing to do with the scale of the hotel owner." Combined with what Mr. Chen just said, we focus on the development of scenic hotels, what is the current development of domestic tourism, what is the proportion of cross-border tourists, you have more professional data, so, 'Chinese people are picky', is it a partial generalization?"

After Jiang Ruo finished speaking, a Chinese man who had been listening silently all the time suddenly looked at her, his eyes were not surprised, but they were full of approval.
