In the dining room, the Evan and Colin brothers sit opposite each other, each with a plate of modest pasta in front of them.

Audrey wasn't there, and Evan wasn't in the mood to cook.

"Ahh

Evan, who had changed out of his pajamas and was wearing a casual T-shirt, suddenly sneezed, and Colin on the other side gave him a disgusted look, and the mood to continue eating disappeared without a trace.

Colds are contagious.

Evan didn't care, rubbed his itchy nose, and rolled the noodles with a fork into his mouth.

Colin put down his fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and asked, "Evan, are you sure you didn't have a problem with Audrey?"

"Of course not!" Evan said impatiently, as Colin had asked for the second time since he had entered.

Am my words so unbelievable?

Colin looked at Evan and said after a while, "Okay, let's just assume that what you say is true." ”

"I wanted to come for a good meal, but I didn't expect it...... Alas!"

Colin was disappointed.

Evan said angrily: "In that case, give me back my noodles!"

"Oh my God, are you the devil, food is so precious, if I eat it and spit it out, it is tantamount to sin. ”

"You ......"

Evan tugged at the corners of his mouth, I still have to eat, what do I say I can't vomit.

The two brothers glanced at each other, and then tacitly looked away.

I can't eat this noodle.

A few minutes later, the two moved to the living room.

Colin's main purpose when he came over, of course, could not have been to eat.

He was there to report on the progress of the FourSeason Inc project.

Well, the name Four Seasons was brainstormed by a few people in Colin. According to the requirements of Evan's investment, it is divided into two development directions: motel and hotel, because of the relationship between manpower, the former is mainly the former for the time being, and the latter is only doing preliminary preparations such as market research

"Evan, in the past two months, Paul and I have traveled all over the eastern part of the United States, leaving California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Oregon, Washington and other states in decline, as long as there are a little bigger camping and tourist destinations. For this, my Ford was almost scrapped. ”

"Good work. Looking at Colin's rough skin, Evan could probably imagine how hard Colin had been in the past two months, he casually took out a box of Montblanc and threw it over: "So what about the harvest?"

Evan doesn't smoke himself, but he knows Colin has this hobby.

"It's not hard at all, of course it's a lot of gains...... Colin grabbed the cigarette with his hand, and when he saw Evan nodding at him, he said while dismantling it, "This trip has made me more confident in the motel." It just so happened that John replied that he was almost done with his studies and wanted to end his undercover life. ”

"So, you want to get to work on earnest?" Evan watched Colin light a cigarette with his cheap lighter, and thought to himself what to give this Christmas.

Well, Zippo's lighter seems pretty good.

"That's right. Colin took a puff, spat out a smoke ring, and nodded.

"The first step is important, where are you going to open your first store?" said Evan used his hand fan to disperse the smoke and reduce the second-hand smoke.

Seeing this, Colin simply took a sharp puff and snuffed out the cigarette directly with his fingers.

"I know this, but because I am cautious, I haven't decided yet. ”

"There are three locations to choose from, one along Route 66, one along Route 40 and one on Coastal Highway 1. ”

"Stop!" said Evan, "what are you telling me to do with this? You don't want me to make a decision, do you?"

"This ......," Colin looked embarrassed that he had done something bad and had been exposed.

Evan Zhengse said: "I don't care about this matter, you decide for yourself." ”

"It's your business, I'm just an investor, I only give money, and I make some suggestions when necessary. How you operate is up to you. ”

When Colin heard this, he pursed his lips and said, "Then you still ask us to open a hotel?"

"Opening a hotel is my advice as an investor, and you can listen to it or not. ”

"So, you're not going to open a hotel?"

Evan looked kind, but Colin was alert, and he had a feeling that if he nodded at this point, nothing would happen next.

So Colin immediately shook his head: "No, there is no such thing. ”

"During this visit, I also went to many airports. From what I've seen, it's really a good idea to open a hotel near the airport. ”

"Oh, is it?" said Evan, half-convinced, "not perfunctory?"

"How come?" Colin continued, adding credibility, "Los Angeles Airport, for example, if I could, I'd like to open a Four Seasons Hotel over there. ”

"Now?"

"Of course not......," Clintin paused, "at the current rate of growth in air passenger traffic, it will be three or four years from now." ”

"Right now, there's not enough traffic. ”

Evan looked at Colin, thought for a moment, and said, "It seems that you did put some thought into it, so let's do as you say." ”

Evan was convinced that he really didn't have a clear idea of when to enter the hotel industry. There is no way, he only knows that the hotel industry has a future, but he doesn't know when this industry will usher in an explosion.

Therefore, Colin said that it is not unacceptable for Evan to wait for three or four years.

By the way, at this time, under the control of the Civil Aviation Law, American airlines are not flexible enough, the competition intensity is low, the price is high, and the service quality is not guaranteed. High-speed airliners, which can attract a large number of customers, are still in the development stage and will not be in service until about a decade later.

In this way, Colin's three or four years are still optimistic.

Well, wait, that's not quite right.

U.S. civil aviation would later develop a pattern of using an airport as a hub and radiating around, and if it was too late.

I had to get in early.

First of all, New York and Atlanta in the east, then Chicago in the Great Lakes, Houston in the south, Los Angeles and San Francisco in the west, and finally, yes, Denver in the middle.

These places can't be let go.

Thinking about this, Evan suddenly stopped Colin who was about to leave.

"Colin, wait, I suddenly changed my mind. ”

Colin had to sit down again and listen to what Evan had to say.

"Colin, how many years are you going to spend at Yale?"

"I'm going to get a Ph.D., so it's going to take more than three years. ”

"In this case, you will definitely not be able to manage much about the affairs of the four seasons, at most you will have a remote meeting. Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless the four seasons also operate in the east. As a big city, New York has one of the most mature hotel industries. ”

"So ......"

"That's right, you go to a New York hotel when you're in school, and try to open a Four Seasons Hotel by the way. ”

"This ......"

"Difficult?"

"Not really. ”

"Since you don't have it, then go and do it, don't worry about the money"
