Chapter 160: Determined to help the world
Xi Chongyi gave birth to Li Linwen for more than four months, Chen Sisi and Liu Minchen were pregnant, Li Hualong felt inconvenient to take them to the hotel's opening celebration banquet, he decided to take Yang Meng to the Shangri-La Hotel's opening celebration banquet early,
"That's good!" Li Hualong smiled and kissed Yang Meng on the forehead.
Yang Meng smiled, pushed Li Hualong, and said, "Don't rub it off, go wash up." ”
Li Hualong took Yang Meng's hand and walked into the bathroom, Yang Meng sneered: "I have served you, and when you enter the bathroom, you will also hold my hand." ”
"Isn't it good?" Li Hualong asked with a smile, he first took Yang Meng's toothbrush, squeezed the toothpaste for her, and then handed it to his wife, "Brush your teeth." ”
"Sometimes, you're really like a mother-in-law!" Yang Meng smiled sweetly, took the toothbrush, and Li Hualong took another glass of water for her.
After brushing your teeth, wash your face.
Yang Meng asked, "Do you expect business to be good after the Shangri-La Hotel opens?" ”
"It shouldn't be bad. Recently, the world has been good, and the occupancy rate of high-end hotels in Hong Kong is quite high. The Shangri-La Hotel has just opened and has not had much of a reputation, but the hotel is new and can also attract some customers. Li Hualong smiled, washed his face, and asked, "In ten days, the Carrefour Center in Admiralty will be put into use, you know?" ”
"Yes." Yang Meng smiled, "Don't you remember telling me?" ”
"I have to remember that there are too many things, this kind of thing, I didn't deliberately remember it, I forgot it." Li Hualong smiled, "You won't be angry, will you?" ”
"I remember my birthday, and our wedding anniversary, and I don't remember anything else, I won't care." Yang Meng smiled.
"You don't mind if you forget all about our children's birthdays?" Li Hualong asked with a smile.
"What if you mind?" Yang Meng said angrily, "There are so many things worth remembering now. ”
Li Hualong smiled slightly, lowered his head and kissed Yang Meng's lips, and the two kissed passionately.
Kiss it. Yang Meng pushed Li Hualong away and said angrily, "It's time to go downstairs for breakfast." ”
"Let's hold hands and go downstairs." Li Hualong reached out and held Yang Meng's hand, and asked with a smile, "Mengmeng, how do you feel when I hold your hand?" ”
"Okay." Yang Meng smiled faintly and walked out of the bathroom with Li Hualong as he spoke.
In the morning, Li Hualong stayed at home, and in the afternoon, he and Yang Meng went to the Shangri-La Hotel together.
On the way to the hotel. Yang Meng asked, "Who have you invited to the hotel's opening celebration banquet?" ”
Li Hualong replied: "There are a lot of people invited, celebrities from politics and business, and some celebrities, many employees of my company will participate, not only middle and high-level employees, but also some ordinary employees with outstanding appearances, which can be regarded as a kind of welfare." ”
Yang Meng smiled and said: "This is very good, the hotel is open, invite more people to the banquet." You can accumulate popularity. ”
"That's what I thought." Li Hualong smiled, "After the New Year, I will merge the InterContinental Hotel and the Shangri-La Hotel." ”
"I've heard you say it before."
"I didn't tell you...... No, I talked to my eldest brother about it. At that time, you were sitting not far away, chatting with your sister-in-law. At that time, you heard that, right? ”
"yes. Good memory. Yang Meng smiled, "Who do you want to be the general manager of Shangri-La Hotel?" ”
"Su Wencheng." Li Hualong replied.
"Isn't he the general manager of the Mandarin Oriental, is he willing?"
"What's not to want to. I gave him a raise, and I told him that when InterContinental and Shangri-La merged, he would be appointed General Manager of InterContinental Hotels Group and General Manager of Shangri-La Hotel, and his salary would be increased at that time. ”
"You appreciate Su Wencheng very much!" Yang Meng smiled.
"He's very capable, he's very serious, and he's able to manage a large hotel group."
"Su Wencheng has changed jobs, so who will succeed the general manager of Mandarin Oriental?"
"The original deputy general manager Yu Fengbin." Li Hualong replied with a smile, "Do you know who he is?" ”
"Yes, I've seen him a few times." Yang Meng paused, "It seems that he is not very old, in his early thirties, will he be too young?" ”
"He looks younger, 37 years old this year. At the beginning of the opening of the Holiday Inn, he joined the Holiday Inn. Later, when the Intercontinental Hotel opened, he was transferred to work at the InterContinental Hotel, and when the Mandarin Oriental Hotel opened, he changed jobs again. The appointment of him as the general manager of Mandarin Oriental is not only because of his qualifications, but also because of his ability. ”
"So, Yu Fengbin and Su Wencheng have been working together for a long time?"
"It's been a long time. It is estimated that more than a dozen people have worked at Holiday Inn, InterContinental and Mandarin Oriental in the past. ”
"Your company's employees have a very low rate of job hopping."
"Very low!" Li Hualong smiled a little proudly, "This shows that my boss is good to employees." ”
"I think it's not just the high salary you pay them, it's a very important reason." Yang Meng smiled slightly, sold a pass, halfway through his words, and did not continue.
"What is the reason?" Li Hualong asked.
"Your business is growing fast, and it's easier for great employees to get promotions and raises."
Li Hualong suddenly thought that he did not seek to soar in later generations, and it was not easy to find a decent job, he felt that there were two reasons, one was that his ability in later generations was not particularly outstanding, and the other reason was that he was born in a poor family, it doesn't matter that he has no background, and in the case of no fair competition, he will only be eliminated.
Yang Meng saw Li Hualong stunned and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Li Hualong came back to his senses, smiled slightly, and sighed: "Not only does an enterprise need to give employees an upward channel, but the upward channel is also the foundation of social stability." ”
"There is no absolute fairness in this world." Yang Meng said lightly, "Let's just say that when the company you created wants to recruit new employees, and the children of your relatives and friends want to participate in the application, you know, it will definitely provide convenience, which is equivalent to making some people who have nothing to do lose the relationship of fair competition." ”
"That's right!" Li Hualong smiled and nodded. "There is no absolute fairness in this world. I will earn more money in the future, and through my efforts, I will help some disadvantaged groups improve their living conditions......"
Li Hualong paused as he spoke, looked at Yang Meng, and asked with a smile: "Mengmeng, you say, if you are poor, it will be difficult to be alone, or if you are good, you will help the world's difficulties?" ”
Yang Meng was stunned when he heard this, thought for a moment, and smiled: "This question." I hadn't thought about it before. If you think about it, I think it's quite difficult, and it's not something that ordinary people can do. Hehe, Aaron, I'm sure you can do both. ”
"I'm not a poor kid, although I can't say that I grew up with a golden key, but since I was a child, my family has been very good. If you are poor, you will be good alone, in this life. I can't try it, and if I do, I'm in trouble. Hehe, as for the reach, it will help the world. Mengmeng, you see, will be proud to have my husband in the future! Li Hualong smiled confidently.
"I'm proud of you right now." Yang Meng smiled sweetly, tilted his head and leaned on Li Hualong's shoulder.
New hotel opened. Everything went well, Li Hualong was in a very high mood, and he inevitably drank a few more glasses. Yang Meng helped him into the guest room.
When he woke up, Li Hualong didn't see Yang Meng, and shouted into the bathroom: "Mengmeng." ”
Li Hualong didn't hear the echo, and muttered, "It's not there." He raised his hand and looked at his watch, and muttered, "It's getting late." ”
Li Hualong sat on the bed, rubbed his temples, and after a while, he got up.
While washing his face, Li Hualong heard Yang Meng's voice.
"Aaron, get up." Yang Meng, who had just entered the guest room, came to the door of the bathroom and looked at Li Hualong with a smile.
"Wake up." Li Hualong turned his head to look at Yang Meng, "Did you go to breakfast just now?" ”
"Yes, breakfast with my sister-in-law and Cuiping."
Last night, Li Huawen and Li Huahu both took their wives to a banquet to celebrate the opening of the Shangri-La Hotel and stayed overnight in the hotel room.
"Big brother and Ah Hu didn't drink less than me, and they didn't get up?"
"Probably not." Yang Meng smiled and said, "Ah Long, I see that the Carrefour Center is almost decorated, can you take me to see it later?" ”
"Okay, I was going to go around today." Li Hualong smiled, "When I have breakfast, we will go to the Carrefour Center." ”
"Do you want to call your sister-in-law and Cuiping?" Yang Meng asked.
"When it opens, you can go shopping with them again!" Li Hualong hung up the towel, walked up to Yang Meng, and pinched Yang Meng's nose with a smile, "Just the two of us, hand in hand, isn't it?" ”
"You're such a big man, don't move your hands and feet." Yang Meng said angrily and slapped Li Hualong's hand away.
"Huh!" Li Hualong smiled and hugged Yang Meng in his arms, looking at his wife with affection, "Mengmeng ......"
"What for?" Yang Meng asked with a smile.
"I snubbed you last night." Li Hualong sneered.
"Not serious!" Yang Meng pushed Li Hualong away, "Don't rub it off, let's go have breakfast." ”
More than half an hour later, Li Hualong and Yang Meng came to the entrance of the Carrefour Center, which was less than 200 meters away from the Shangri-La Hotel.
Looking up at the building in front of him, Yang Meng smiled and said, "The appearance is quite beautiful." ”
"I designed it." Li Hualong said with a slight smugness.
"Want me to praise you?" Yang Meng asked with a smile.
"You've already praised it just now." Li Hualong smiled.
Yang Meng nodded with a smile, looked up at the "Carrefour Shopping Plaza" advertising board embedded in the wall, lowered his head, looked at Li Hualong and asked:
"The Carrefour here is named Carrefour Shopping Plaza, and the Carrefour elsewhere is a supermarket, what's the difference?"
"The shopping mall is a bit bigger."
Yang Meng asked again, "How big?" ”
"The mall has more than 80,000 square feet of business space."
"It's a lot bigger." Yang Meng nodded, smiled and asked, "Didn't you rent a lot of shops to other merchants, how big is the total retail floor area?" ”
"Five hundred and fifty thousand square feet."
"Wow!" Yang Meng exclaimed in surprise and smiled, "It's too big, the area is bigger than Times Square!" ”
"The positioning of Carrefour Center and Times Square is different, everything bought in Times Square is high-quality, brand goods, and Carrefour Center is closer to ordinary people."
"In this way, the Carrefour Center needs more popularity." Yang Meng smiled, "Then you have to publicize well and strive for a good start, otherwise, there are too few customers, and the business will not be good." ”
"Don't worry, at the beginning of the opening, the promotion will be very strong. Not only Carrefour shopping malls will hold promotions, but also several department stores that live in Carrefour centers. Li Hualong stretched out his hand to hold Yang Meng's hand and said with a smile, "Let's go in and have a look." (To be continued......)
