Or search on Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Xia Donghai counted that there are currently more than 150 employees in the company, including more than a dozen newly signed artists, and more than 60 people are under the leadership of Feng Xiaonan, distributed in various places for commercial performances.

"More than one hundred and fifty people, isn't it a little too much?" Xia Donghai hesitated a little. Although it is said to be a big eater, so many people are killing it out in a huge way, and nearly 20 tables have to be prepared alone, which is indeed a large group of diners, I am afraid that the restaurant does not have this preparation, and the ingredients purchased are not enough.

"What does that matter?" Fan Wuxian smiled,

"It's just about spending a little more money, and finding a good restaurant is the real thing." Xia Donghai nodded, and then summoned several directors of the company and asked them if they had any good suggestions.

I heard that the big boss of the company is going to take the employees out to spend together, and several supervisors are very cautious, after all, they don't know what the boss's original intention is to invite guests, and if they pick a cheap restaurant, they will be said that they are not good enough, but if it is too expensive, and they are afraid that the big boss will be unhappy, they will hesitate.

Or Xia Donghai said,

"Why is the boss super rich, let's put it this way, where is the hotel you most want to go to in Shanghai? Where is the most tasteful place? Where is the highest place to spend? We'll go wherever we go! After a while, everyone came up with a lot of high-end hotel names, such as the Peace Hotel, the International Hotel, the Jinjiang Hotel, and so on, and so on, and the opinions were not unanimous.

"Choose a reputable old brand!" Xia Donghai proposed.

"To say that the qualifications are the oldest and the most reputable. Of course, it's an international hotel. Before the Japanese entered the Tohoku, the International Hotel was already open in Shanghai, and it has persisted until now. A supervisor replied.

"How's the meal?" Fan Wuxian asked.

"I haven't eaten it." Several people replied very ashamedly.

"Hmm." Fan Wuxian nodded, thinking that after all, it is one of the largest hotels in Shanghai, with a long history, and everyone's salary is not enough to eat, and an ordinary person goes to an international hotel to spend.

Confidence is not enough, right? So he said,

"Since you haven't been, neither have I. \\\\\\Then let's go eat it today, and everyone will inform the employees of each department. Get ready to go to the International Hotel HAPPY! "The company is still some distance away from the International Hotel, so it began to take a taxi in batches, Fan Wuxian saw this situation, and said to Xia Donghai,

"The company now has more than 200 people, and it is impossible to go out to take a taxi everywhere, which is inconvenient and time-insecure. It seems that a batch of official cars will be purchased first. ”

"I've thought about it, but it's going to cost a lot of money." Xia Donghai replied. Nowadays, domestic cars are expensive, and it costs a lot of money to buy a domestic Santana.

Not to mention the imported cars that have been subject to many tariffs, if the company wants to solve the travel problem, even if it is a car for ten people, it needs to buy 20 cars, which is a huge expenditure of millions.

Who knew that Fan Wuzhi said,

"The image of the company is also very important, how can a first-class large company let employees be in the office. Going to squeeze the bus or take a taxi? That's good. Or Audi, buy thirty cars. It should be able to be discounted. "Thirty Audis?

! Several directors in the room were stunned! is worthy of being a big boss, the bearing of speaking is different, thirty Audis, nearly 20 million yuan of expenditure, it was decided in one sentence, and I didn't see Xia Donghai have any doubts, what a strong and rich boss!

Follow such a boss, there is a future! Everyone suddenly made up their minds that if possible, they must die of old age in the New Silk Road Entertainment Company!

The owner is so rich! And willing to spend money on employees! Where can you find such a boss?

So the group of people rushed to the International Hotel, stopping more than 40 taxis along the way, making the pedestrians on this road a little depressed, so that the taxi drivers thought that something important had happened here, and they all drove over to watch.

Fan Wuxi's car, four people were just right, he sat in the driver's seat and asked Xia Donghai,

"You should be able to drive, right?"

"I lack motor cells." Xia Donghai immediately expressed his attitude. The two women naturally didn't know how to drive, so Fan Wuxian had to continue to act as a driver, but he was not familiar with the road conditions in Shanghai, so he drove slower, and finally got to the International Hotel, but saw that the employees had already entered, and there were a few people waiting for them at the door.

"Every one of you will have to learn to drive in the future!" After getting out of the car, Fan Wuxian said to everyone. The International Hotel was built in 1934 with a total of 24 floors, 22 floors above ground and two floors underground.

In the thirties and forties of the twentieth century, even Tokyo in Japan did not have such a tall modern building, so the International Hotel became the first skyscraper in the Far East.

At that time, the land price in Shanghai was already very high, for example, the Bund on Nanjing Road was the place with the highest land price, and in the early thirties, the land price had reached 300,000 taels of silver per mu.

When Shanghai opened its port, the British, Americans, and Western merchants went to Shanghai to rent land from local farmers, and the land price per mu was only 1,500 wen at that time.

In the past 100 years, the price of land has increased by 200,000 times. The International Hotel was funded and built by the Sihang Savings Association, designed by the famous Hungarian architect Hudak, and the Sihang Savings Club was a group formed by the partnership of four private capital banks in China at that time.

It wants to express its strength by building high-rise buildings, but this strength is actually very limited, so it is impossible to buy land on the Bund, because the price of land on the Bund is too high.

Later, they bought such a relatively cheap place on the edge of the racecourse, and the International Hotel sat in the north and faced south, so they could have a panoramic view of the racecourse opposite.

At that time, it was known as forgetting the noise of cars and horses, and suspected of feathering and ascending to immortals, and the tallest building in the Far East was also famous.

When everyone walked into the hall, the waiter in charge of reception talked about the glorious history of the International Hotel, such as the engagement ceremony of General Chennault and Ms. Chen Xiangmei, the captain of the Flying Tigers, which was held here, and the opening ceremony of the Sino-US international long-distance telephone was also held here.

And the celebrities in Shanghai back then were also frequent visitors here, such as Mei Lanfang, such as Ruan Lingyu, such as Butterfly, all of whom had participated in various banquets here.

"The title of the tallest building in Shanghai has been maintained for half a century." The waiter said with some pride.

Fan Wuxian listened to it but was a little unimpressed, the honor of the International Hotel has been maintained for half a century, which is equivalent to half a century of stagnation in domestic construction!

The gap of 50 years, coupled with the previous historical debts, is a heavy historical burden, and how many years of struggle does it take for the Chinese to catch up?

It's just that among the tourists who come here, I'm afraid that few people will think like Fan Wuxi, right? The hotel has five different styles of restaurants that serve Chinese and Western dishes, called International Corridor, Fengze Building, Shunfeng Hall, Peacock Hall, and Cloud Building.

As a result, there are still the most people who eat Western food, Fan Wuxi originally wanted to eat Chinese food, but the two girls said that they wanted to try the Western food here, in fact, they just wanted to see what the real Western food was like, so Fan Wuxi also ate Western food with them.

But before eating, Fan Wuxian said,

"Western food really made by chefs, selectively improved Western food for Chinese, you can still eat it, Western food in small restaurants, you still stay away." When a passing guest heard Fan Wuxi's words, he immediately agreed,

"This little brother's words are amazing! To eat Western food, you can really only come to this kind of serious place, and other small restaurants, the Western food made is very miserable! Fan Wuxian took a look, there were six or seven tables of his own staff in the restaurant here, and the rest of the people were scattered in the other four restaurants, and after a while, a waiter came over to let everyone order.

Fan Wuxian flipped through the menu and suddenly asked,

"Do you have a two-pound lobster?"

"Nope." The waiter paused for a moment, then shook his head and replied.

"This can be there." Fan Wuxian said with a smile.

"Not really." The waiter replied a little helplessly. Although lobsters can grow to more than ten catties, but generally seen, that is, about one catty, Fan Wuxian and others want two-pound lobsters, it is indeed a bit difficult for strong people, everyone doesn't know that there is a small Shenyang in the Northeast at this time!

"Haha, then barely have a one-pound lobster!" Fan Wuxian laughed. It's the last two hours of this month, and in the spirit of not wasting it, everyone has voted for their monthly tickets.
