As one of the Four Asian Tigers, Hong Kong is an international city that developed as early as the 60s, and is now as prosperous as other international cities, and 100 times more advanced than mainland cities in the same period. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Therefore, it is no wonder that almost all Hong Kong people at this time have their heads tilted to the sky, and they have a natural sense of superiority in the face of mainland tourists, so that when they are overtaken by the mainland in the future, all kinds of psychological imbalances will lead to all kinds of farces, and even have the posture of approaching the treasure island.

Tsim Sha Tsui has always been the heart of Hong Kong, so it's easy to find many exotic cultures here. Chungking Mansions, home to South Asians and African-Americans, is particularly famous, as if you were in India, while Hong Kong's largest mosque, located next to Kowloon Park, caters to many non-Christians. As soon as Alice and her group walked out of the airport, they immediately took a car to the Peninsula Hotel, which is also located here.

The Peninsula is the oldest surviving hotel in Hong Kong and one of the most luxurious and renowned hotels in Hong Kong and the world. Not just in Hong Kong, but also in New York, Chicago, Beverly Hills, Tokyo and even Bangkok, so when everyone talks about staying in a hotel before they travel, this one is immediately at the top of the list.

"We would love to welcome you, Miss Wang. A tall, slender man guides the new guests, and like the other front desk staff, he wears a low-priced, standardized black suit with a British style. In the same way, when he opened the elevator for everyone along the way, he politely did not look around, although the composition of Alice's group was quite dazzling.

"Our 300-room hotel has a sea view on the upper floors, and the two Presidential Suites you have booked are located on the top floor, with the most exclusive panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and views of Victoria Harbour......"

The elevator began to slowly ascend and opened on the middle floor, where a black chef with a waist circumference equal to his height stood in the doorway. Seeing that the girls in an elevator had filled the space, he stretched out his arms in surprise and said, "Oh, welcome!"

Alice nodded at him and smiled, "I'm afraid you'll have to wait for the next trip, I'm sorry." ”

After saying that, there was a ding, the elevator door closed, and the upward movement continued.

After this episode, the elevator finally opens on the top floor, and the decoration of the corridor is naturally extremely exquisite, with a mixture of classical Chinese dark red and light white, as if people are in the emperor's house. The young waiter walked briskly ahead and said: "Our Peninsula Hotel has been selected as one of the top 10 most famous hotels in the world, and celebrities have stayed in it, including former US President Richard Nixon, and the great Queen of England has also designated a stay. At the same time, we also have the world's largest Rolls-Royce team......"

"You say the Queen?" Listening to the waiter's words, Alice stopped and smiled, "She designated to stay here?"

To be honest, Wang Zhiquan couldn't figure out the combination of this group of guests.

A group of beautiful girls, and two middle-aged ladies from the upper class who knew at a glance, these are all customers from the United States, and the transatlantic telephone reservation record was issued a long time ago. But who would have thought that it was the little Asian girl in front of her who was leading all this? Wang Zhiquan, who was used to seeing white people arrogant in front of him, was really a little confused.

"Yes, Miss Wang," said Wong Chi-kuen proudly as he walked to the door of Alice's room, "Under Her Majesty's stewardship, Hong Kong's development is truly changing with each passing day, and all of our staff in the hotel are very much looking forward to her next visit." ”

Sophie, who was standing at a distance, smiled meaninglessly, and Sissi and Maiya couldn't help but sneer, but the volume was low enough. But even so, Wang Zhiquan, who had just finished boasting, vaguely felt that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

"Ah, anyway, please go first. ”

He opened the door to the suite for Alice and said, "We at The Peninsula have a personal butler for custom-made service, and the phone is here. ”

He pointed to a trifold in the hallway and said, "You can call this number if you have any special needs, and we will do our best to accommodate your request, and of course, the other suite is also equipped with the same configuration." Then look at the panoramic window facing this Victoria Bay......"

No one was interested in the scene, and Alice looked around for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, The Peninsula is owned and operated by the British-Jewish Kadoorie family, and is owned by The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, a listed company that moved from Shanghai to Hong Kong 49 years later, right?"

This series of data was completely unexpected by a waiter, but the professionalism still made him react immediately, and nodded: "Yes, Miss Wang." The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited was founded in 1866 under the brand name The Peninsula Hotels. ”

Alice nodded and said, "Sir Lorence Kadoorie is now living in Hong Kong, which saves a lot of effort, okay, young man." ”

She said to the poor waiter, "I'll use the butler service of your hotel, and whoever you want to go, as long as you can contact this sir." Of course, it's not impossible for me to do it myself, but since your hotel has such a service, I believe that it is not difficult to contact the big boss of your own company by reporting it layer by layer, right?"

While Alice was saying this, everyone else was very wise in choosing not to interject. Poor waiter Wang Zhiquan was really given a troublesome task, but the girl's companions actually stopped her every time. He looked left and right, and said in embarrassment: "Miss Wang, sir, his own phone ......"

"The headquarters of the group is in Central," Alice said, "and let your manager contact the headquarters of the group, and say that Alice Wang, the owner of Cisco Systems in Silicon Valley, wants to talk to Sir Lorence Kadoorie about a big deal, and there is nothing for you to do, understand?"

It's a long list of names, but even if he is just a waiter, Wang Zhiquan, who can work at The Peninsula Hotel, is still very knowledgeable about current affairs. The first name is familiar, and if the second name is familiar, then add a third name......

"Okay, Miss Wang, I'll do it right away. Looking at the companions around him, and then at the two presidential suites, Wang Zhiquan already knew that he didn't need to ask again, just report the string of words just now as the other party explained. As for the rest, it has nothing to do with me.

When the waiter left, Alice did not forget to spend money for him, a hundred dollars bill to ensure that the other party was happy and happy, and would complete the task efficiently.

Then, closing the door, it was time for her companions in the room who had given her face to speak.

"Girl," Sophie must have been the first to speak, "you don't want to buy all this hotel chain, do you?"

Ashley burst out laughing: "That's really fun! Ellie, I'll support you, and then open the Peninsula Hotel in every city in the world, so that I can have a free presidential suite everywhere I go!"

After saying this, she immediately hit her mother, and Sissi said: "Even with your current funds, it is impossible to buy this group, but you can buy it one by one." Alice, are you the idea?"

"Those who know me, Sissi also~" Alice snapped her fingers with a smile: "That's it, mom, you think, this Peninsula Hotel was started in Hong Kong, and this building is located in Tsim Sha Tsui, opposite Victoria Bay, which is completely the preferred place for high-end people to go to Hong Kong." ”

"Alice is right when she says that the location is truly outstanding. Sophie didn't answer Alice directly, but walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with Ms. Elena and looked out.

In front of the 30-storey Peninsula Hotel, the Hong Kong Space Museum, no more than a few storeys high, sits in front of Victoria Bay, with a dome that embodies the sci-fi feel it deserves. Ferries run slowly on the wide bay, and the convention and exhibition center on the opposite side protrudes dozens of meters from the shore to attract attention. The whole territory of Hong Kong Island is displayed in front of you, and through the layers of green and low mountains, you can even directly see the aristocratic schools and top wealthy areas located on them.

"In other words, the act of buying The Peninsula Hong Kong main store is the biggest gain compared to the actual profit. If you buy all of this building, it is estimated that it will be a matter of three or two million dollars, right? Actually, Sissi, don't think too much of this group, its actual property is nothing more than seven or eight hotels. ”

"Then that's the first thing we do when we go to Hong Kong. Alice picked up a map of Hong Kong from her desk and scanned the city as she said, "The news about buying this hotel, including the acquaintance with Sir Kadoorie, was enough to make our first connections in Hong Kong." ”

But Sissi was still skeptical: "Can the old man sell you the hotel easily?

"Lorence was a Jew born in Baghdad, a typical businessman, and remember, he is now in his eighties and unmarried. Alice said: "Although he has been developing Hong Kong's infrastructure industry for many years, it is enough to call him the power king, but there is no reason for him not to get acquainted with the emerging Silicon Valley forces." ”

So the business is obvious.

Is it worth it to sell a hotel and let the entire Kadoorie family meet a rich Silicon Valley girl who is studying at EtonHouse?

"Ah...... Looks like we're going to have to take a break. Sophie stretched, just as they did when their plane landed, and after a more than ten hours of sailing, everyone needed to turn the jet lag back immediately: "Our dear Ellie, who has just entered the hotel and has taken a business." ”

In the midst of laughter, everyone immediately took their places and looked for their bedrooms. (To be continued.) )
