Chapter 190: Burj Khalifa, Armani Hotel

About half an hour later, the car arrived at the Burj Khalifa, drove through a gate, and then passed through another gate to the VIP area located inside the hotel.

It's the height of summer, and the end of July is the hottest time of the year in Dubai, with daytime highs often exceeding 45 degrees and occasionally reaching a staggering 50 degrees or more.

When he was still at Guangzhou Airport, Xu Xincheng checked the weather forecast in Dubai on his mobile phone, which showed that the minimum temperature today was 38 degrees, and the maximum temperature was as high as 49 degrees. He was still a little worried that the weather would heat up Lucy, but now it seems that this problem has been solved.

After landing at Dubai Airport, the plane taxied to an extremely large indoor parking airport with more than 30 private jets parked.

This special indoor airport is built specifically for expensive private jets to protect them from damage caused by the scorching sun outdoors and, of course, more importantly, for VIPs arriving in Dubai by private jet, so that they do not have to be exposed to the heat outside.

After the two came out of the cabin of the plane, they directly entered the air-conditioned indoor space, entered the airport through the luxury bridge, and then went to the VIP parking lot of the airport through the exclusive channel for VIP entry, and then took the car to the VIP area in the hotel, all the way to the air-conditioned room, so although the outdoor temperature was as high as about 45 degrees, they have been in a cool and comfortable indoor environment.

Dubai Airport and Armani Hotel have gone to great lengths to protect their visiting VIPs from the heatwave.

Xu Xincheng thought to himself that in order to allow its distinguished guests to receive the best hospitality, Dubai can be described as fighting heaven and earth, bringing human subjective initiative to the extreme, insisting on blocking the heat like fire outside, and turning this barren land into a comfortable and livable international metropolis.

After the car stopped, two customer service managers in dark gray uniforms greeted them, opened the door of Xu Xincheng and Lucy, respectively, and warmly welcomed them.

The two came to a palatial VIP room, and came to a white marble reception desk, Laraine personally checked them in, upgraded Xu Xincheng to a premium suite for free, and said that Lucy would upgrade to a 235-square-meter suite for free, Lucy politely declined, saying that she didn't need such a big suite.

Laraine arranged for a customer service manager to serve Xu Xincheng and lead him to his room, while she personally led Lucy to her room.

According to information on the Internet, this hotel is the first Armani company to enter the global hotel market, and it is the highest specification and the most famous, ranking among the 100 most famous hotels in the world.

It is so famous for at least two reasons.

First, the location is very special and famous, it is built in the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

Second, Tom Cruise's "Mission Impossible 4".

Like many people, Xu Xincheng also met this hotel when he watched "Mission Impossible 4".

In the movie, Tom and his three partners arrived in Dubai and stayed in this hotel, and the four of them battled wits against the villains in three rooms of the hotel.

Tom also staged a classic drama of cornices and wall tension on the glass façade of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. That wonderful scene, the majesty of the Burj Khalifa, and the infinite scenery of Dubai all add a lot of points to the movie.

At the same time, Tom and that movie also made a one-of-a-kind ad for Burj Khalifa and Dubai, adding a lot of points to them.

Of course, Tom and that movie also made a big and wonderful advertisement for this hotel, and also added a lot of points to it, attracting more tourists to it, and not only adding a lot of points to the hotel's popularity and reputation, but also adding a lot of price to the hotel's room rate.

When Xu Xincheng booked the room the night before, he booked the best single room for Lucy, the ambassador suite, and he booked the cheapest deluxe room himself, but the so-called cheapest here is actually not cheap, plus service fees and taxes, it will also cost about 3700 per day, and the premium suite after the free upgrade is about 5100.

When Xu Xincheng walked into the room, he seemed to have walked into the scene in "Mission Impossible 4", the decoration style of the room was exactly the same as the suite Tom stayed in in the movie, which is a simple fashion business style, which is highly consistent with the style of Armani clothing.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the room, you can see the crystal clear artificial lake where the world's largest musical fountain is located, and you can also overlook the world's largest shopping mall, the Dubai Mall.

He spent about two minutes admiring the beautiful view of the city in front of him, taking a few photos, and then sat down on the sofa in front of the window. Nasser called to inform him that he and Lucy had arrived at the hotel and were waiting for them.

Although as soon as he arrived at Dubai Airport, he had already informed Mr. Nasser had arrived at Dubai airport and received a reply from him a few minutes later, but he felt the need to give him a call in person, which was the most basic business etiquette.

After making the call, Xu Xincheng took a shower, washed away the fatigue along the way, and changed into a set of Armani suits that matched this hotel.

Looking at the time, it was 17:20 Dubai time, and he decided to go to the meeting place an hour in advance, familiarize himself with the environment, and work there for a while.

When meeting with others to discuss affairs, if you are more familiar with the environment of the meeting place, then the better he will be when you meet, which is an experience he has summed up in the past two years.

When a person comes to an unfamiliar scene, he will be curious about the new things around him, and at the same time, he will also be wary of the unfamiliar environment, and curiosity and vigilance will distract him and affect his state.

Whether it's a business negotiation or a political negotiation, generally speaking, the away side is not as good as the home side in terms of form, and this is one of the important reasons.

The easiest and most effective way for the away side to deal with this problem is to arrive at the venue early and take some time to familiarize yourself with the environment.

The simplest and most effective way for the home side to ensure that this advantage is not diminished is to make some special arrangements or create some obstacles to prevent the away side from having the opportunity to arrive at the venue early and not give them time to familiarize themselves with the environment of the venue.
