Chapter 359: Three Kinds of Gold
When he arrived in Beijing, Shen Danqing was picked up by the convoy of the Dynasty Hotel and taken to the hotel. The hotel is located in the bustling first ring city, only a few kilometers away from Tiananmen Square, which is the core area of the central business CBD in the future.
The hotel itself is a small luxury commercial and residential building project built by a small local real estate developer. The floors are not high, only six floors, and like Shanghi Dynasty Hotel, it consists of several low-rise commercial and residential buildings.
The commercial and residential buildings are concrete frame buildings, which can be spaced at will, so it is easy to convert them into hotels. Shen Danqing couldn't take a break, so the general manager of the hotel, Peng Wenbin, took him around for a tour, which was basically similar to the decoration design of the Shanghi Dynasty Hotel, and it seemed that they had also learned to copy. There's nothing wrong with that, not only does it save design time, but it also saves money.
"Mr. Peng, is the hotel's business okay?" After the visit, on the way back to the guest room to rest, Shen Danqing asked Peng Wenbin.
"Business is very good, this is the inner city, very close to the foreign consulate area, so our hotel has become the designated reception hotel of the consulates. The level of technology in the decoration grade of our hotel is far more than that of the general five-star hotel, and the British hotel butler service level is adopted, the soft and hard are super first-class, and there are almost no opponents of the same grade in the inner city. Peng Wenbin replied proudly.
"Very well, this proves that you have established your feet, and it is not easy. Mr. Peng, you remember that in the service industry, you must not reduce the service level, and you must always be vigilant to the waiters, which will be the basis for the survival of your hotel. Shen Danqing was very satisfied with Peng Wenbin's introduction, and at the same time told him to do a good job.
To be honest, in the service industry, there is still a considerable gap between China and Europe. It is due to many reasons such as culture and economy, and there is little chance of catching up. The butler service employed by Dynasty Hotel is also an industry that Britain is proud of. Peng Wenbin studied in the United Kingdom, so he brought the world's best service to Dynasty Hotel.
The British service industry is the world's best, there are special universities to teach this kind of knowledge, their etiquette is very cumbersome and elegant, generally after several years of special training to be qualified, so the waiters of the Dynasty Hotel are still in a learning stage, but only a little bit of learning has far exceeded the service level of other hotels.
Shen Danqing lived in a luxury business suite, and Peng Wenbin originally arranged a presidential suite for him, but he resigned. He mainly considered that he was alone and didn't bring his family, so he could be a little more careful. Besides, there are not many presidential suites, so let's leave them to the guests!
There are also a lot of luxury business suites, with more than 200 square meters, three bedrooms and two living rooms, and even a restaurant, but there is no kitchen. With the exception of his master bedroom, which was a bed, the other two rooms were double rooms, which were actually rooms for his entourage. Therefore, a set of rooms is just right, and Shen Danqing didn't want to go around, because he was going to sign up tomorrow, he just wanted to take a good rest, recharge his energy, and go to see the style of the university tomorrow.
Of course, he had to call home as soon as possible to report that he was safe, so that his family would not be worried. As soon as the phone was connected, Wang Fang's eager voice came from the microphone: "Hey, is it my husband? Are you okay?" Shen Danqing doesn't care about the company's affairs as soon as he gets off work, and his home phone is rarely called, so the little girl dares to be sure that he called home.
"It's me, I'm at the Dynasty Hotel, I'm doing well now, I just miss you and the children a little bit. Shen Danqing replied to her gently.
"Husband, you have to call me often in the future, and I want to listen to your voice as if you are still by my side. You have to take care of yourself, I can't take care of you outside. Therefore, you must be conscious...... "The little girl's words are like a gurgling spring moistening Shen Danqing's heart, and like a lark, it is so pleasant, it is the sunshine of the early spring afternoon, it is so warm, no matter how Shen Danqing listens, he feels that he can't hear enough.
In the end, everyone in the family talked to him a few words before they ended the call. Of course, they won't talk for so long like a little girl, but they all gave him sincere greetings and concern. The little guy said a few immature fathers, which made him happy again, which was a little depressed. It also cheered him up and determined to study knowledge well, so as to live up to his family's thoughts and dedication.
When it was time for dinner, Peng Wenbin came to invite Shen Danqing to dinner. The location is chosen at the hotel's most popular French restaurant. On the second floor of a special food building open to the outside world, the style is very elegant, and the decoration is European-style luxury. As soon as I entered the restaurant, I heard the elegant piano and violin accompaniment, and the whole restaurant was almost full, but Shen Danqing had the best location reserved by the hotel.
Most of the people who eat are foreigners, and because it is near the embassy district and is open to the public, there are many embassy staff who eat here. There is only one table of guests who look like Chinese, and Shen Danqing listens to them and can't understand them at all, maybe Korean or Japanese.
There is more than one restaurant in the food hall, in addition to the French restaurant, there is also a Japanese restaurant and a Chinese restaurant. Chinese generally choose Chinese restaurants, very few people come to French restaurants, and occasionally young couples come here in a fashionable way.
After Shen Danqing and Secretary Tang sat down, Peng Wenbin politely asked him, "Boss, what do you want to eat?"
"When you come to a Western restaurant, of course, you have to eat the three kings of European and American cuisine: French black truffle, Russian sturgeon caviar, and French foie gras. There are also Western foods that must be accompanied by borscht, steak, just a few things, and a bottle of brandy. Shen Danqing said with a smile. He doesn't like to drink red wine, but he likes to drink brandy.
"Boss, I'm sorry! We don't have French black truffles and French foie gras, but we do have domestic black truffles and happy farm's own foie gras. Peng Wenbin replied apologetically. The ingredients for the hotel are shipped by air express every day from Happy Farm, and only such a five-star hotel can do this because the price is too high. However, it also ensures the taste of the ingredients, which is pure natural and pollution-free, without chemical pesticide and fertilizer residues, which is also one of the main selling points of this hotel.
Black truffles grow under very harsh conditions, which have a lot to do with temperature, sunlight and humidity, and are only found in the Alps and Himalayas in the world. Therefore, these domestic black truffles are actually purchased by Happy Farm in southern Tibet, and the general buying season is from November to March of the following year.
Black truffle is actually a rhizobia because it gives off a unique aromatic smell that stimulates sexual excitement in humans and animals, so it is loved by the upper class of Europe and the United States.
The country has production, of course, it will not go to France to buy black truffles, which is not a price level at all, but the hotel is still sold as French black truffles, and the price is better than gold.
Beijing and Russia are very close to each other, and there are planes that can be reached on the same day, so there is nothing wrong with buying Russian caviar. Because Russian caviar is the best caviar in the world, full as pearls, black in color, and the best taste.
"It doesn't matter, just give you a copy of each according to what you say! Mr. Peng, you don't have much to do with me, you don't know me, I am the most supportive of domestic products, and if you have them in China, I will never eat foreign ones." You have done a good job, on the contrary, you deserve praise, hahahaha!" Shen Danqing praised Peng Wenbin happily.
In fact, Shen Danqing is the first time to eat these expensive things, he has been to the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong a few times, and originally wanted to order these dishes to try, who knew that because the price was too high, he still had to book, and he didn't blame them, the Peninsula Hotel's gold three things were really imported from France.
Not to mention, The Dynasty Hotel Beijing is renowned for its finest cuisine, much like The Peninsula Hong Kong. It's just that the Dynasty Hotel is unlimited, and you don't need to book it, you can eat it at any time. Like the vegetable salad that Europeans and Americans often eat, then the salad made of pollution-free organic vegetables has an absolutely different taste, as well as seafood, Happy Farm uses ice seawater and oxygen airbag storage and transportation technology to air transport seafood, which ensures that the seafood is fresh enough, which the general hotel can't do, and the taste is naturally much worse. Like steak, Happy Farm is the same level of high-quality beef cattle in Europe, not domestic yellow beef or buffalo meat. It also undergoes a special deacidification process to ensure that the steak is tender enough and does not have the smell of beef. So much so that many guests like to order a five-ripe steak, which must be fresh enough to make beef that has been sour in the past, otherwise the taste will be very poor. …… There are too many advantages,
This is Shen Danqing from the beginning of the Dynasty Hotel set the tone of business meetings and catering food, so the hotel has really worked hard in catering and food. Nowadays, just look at the overcrowding scene in the restaurant, and they are really doing a good job.
"Sir, the Western food you asked for is here, I'm sorry for making you wait for a long time!, please use it slowly!" A waiter pushed the dining cart and put the dishes ordered by Shen Danqing on the table one by one, and politely apologized. Ordinary waiters didn't know Shen Danqing, so she said that.
"It doesn't matter! thank you for your service!" Shen Danqing replied politely, and then he spread the napkin on his chest, holding a fork in his left hand and a knife in his right hand to prepare for a formal meal.
Secretary Tang poured him a glass of brandy very smartly, and then poured a little bit himself, and followed the boss's example to prepare for the meal. He hadn't eaten Western food yet, so he looked a little clumsy.
Shen Danqing first cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth with a fork to taste it, the taste was great, it was too much more than his own amateur chef's skills, and then he picked up the brandy and took a sip. The taste is not to be said, this is a high-quality brandy imported from France, with a natural burnt aroma and a faint pine nut fragrance, and the taste is first-class. Then he elegantly ate other top foods, which was really the envy of many diners, because the dishes he ordered were all precious foods, and this meal alone cost tens of thousands of yuan, but it was just enough for him and Secretary Tang. As for the bodyguards, they are at another table, and their identities are not qualified to dine with Shen Danqing. Of course, they didn't eat Shen Danqing and Secretary Tang as well, and even Peng Wenbin, the general manager of the hotel, was not qualified to dine with Shen Danqing, and people's status levels were everywhere.
