Chapter Seventy-Seven: Minghui Hotel

Jin Cheng stopped the motorcycle, and the heat on the ground quickly surrounded him, it felt a bit like a sauna, and his two calves were hot.

There was a large supermarket down the street, and Jin Cheng went in to buy some daily necessities, mainly gas stoves and gas canisters, as well as some necessary kitchen utensils.

These are all prepared for life in the wild, and the space ring is a vacuum environment, and the food storage zĂ i will not spoil inside, so Jin Cheng has stored a large amount of cooked food and daily necessities such as rice, oil, and salt in case of emergency.

Out of the supermarket, Jin Cheng lost interest in continuing to look for it, he called Yang Ziyi, Yang Ziyi said that there were some in Gangning City, and told him the specific address.

Jin Cheng looked at the time, three o'clock in the afternoon, there were at least three or four hours before dinner in the evening, and there was enough time to run back and forth.

After making his decision, he went to the gas station to fill the tank and headed for Gangning.

All the way, in less than an hour, he entered the city of Gangning, and according to the address provided by Yang Ziyi, he went straight to his destination.

This outdoor equipment store has a wide range of business, which is in line with Jin Cheng's appetite, and he has made a large purchase, including field tents, moisture-proof mats, jackets, thermal underwear, powerful flashlights, small generators (hand-cranked), strong insect repellents, and climbing equipment, such as main ropes, safety belts, iron locks, protectors, helmets, climbing shoes, etc.

After buying the things, Jin Cheng went to the bookstore to read books for more than an hour, mainly reading Western medicine works and learning about some new technologies and concepts. At five o'clock, I received a call from Ling Jingen, and then rushed to Jichang County.

Jin Cheng stood at the door of the hotel and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, the hotel arranged by Ling Jingen was actually the hotel co-opened by his cousin, Minghui Hotel.

It is an old-fashioned five-story building that has been renovated to become a three-star hotel integrating rooms, catering, entertainment, and conferences, and it is also the most upscale hotel in the county.

The exterior of the house does not look good, but the interior decoration is very luxurious, it seems that the cousin has taken a big step, and I don't know how much he has a stake in this hotel.

It seems that the rent of this house is more than one million per year, and running such a hotel in a small county town, the profit is not visible, and the risk is on the table.

With the successive introduction of measures to restrict the consumption of the "three publics", many industries have been affected, the first is the high-end catering industry, they have to lower their "noble heads" and take the pro-people route.

After years of high growth, the high-end catering industry ushered in the coldest winter, and last year, the three listed companies of A-share catering listed companies Quanjude, Hunan and Hubei and Xi'an Catering showed negative growth for the first time. The net profit of Quanjude, a century-old store, fell by more than 30% in the first half of the year, and the net profit of Hunan and Hubei fell by nearly 400%, in addition, the net profit of Xiaonanguo, which was listed in Hong Kong, fell by 45%.

These figures show that the transformation of the high-end catering industry is imminent, not only that, but the low-end catering industry has also suffered a heavy blow, especially some related households, which mainly do business with government agencies, and countless restaurants have closed down.

Jin Cheng shook his head slightly, he was worried about it, since his cousin and they took over this hotel, they must have taken these factors into account, the general environment and climate, and those who can continue to survive are really powerful.

The catering department is located on the second floor, and Jin Cheng has a waitress who greets him all the way, and he always smiles at him.

The Peony Hall, a very elegant name, has a good waitress standing at the door.

"Good evening and welcome." With a professional smile on her face, the waitress opened the box door for Jin Cheng.

"It's you...... Didn't you work as a waiter at SamGe Hotel? Jin Cheng looked at the waiter and felt familiar, and suddenly remembered that it was the waiter sister he met in the Sange Hotel a few days ago.

"Oh, it's you." The waiter Xiaomei pointed at Jin Cheng in surprise, and then felt that something was wrong, and immediately withdrew her hand, with an apologetic smile on her face, she spit out her little tongue mischievously, and explained weakly: "The boss closed the store and recommended me to come here to work, so I came." ”

Jin Cheng smiled disappreciatively, "I want to ask you a question." ”

"What? I have the right to refuse to answer private questions. ”

"Is there a man named Jin Hui from the owner of this hotel?"

"Yes, I came here to work because I was introduced by Boss Jin, by the way, I remember that day you inquired about Boss Jin and said that he was a relative." The waiter Xiaomei said.

"Yes, my cousin, do you know his phone number?" Jin Cheng asked.

"How could my little waiter know?" The waiter's little sister glanced at Jin Cheng and said.

At this time, two people in the box came to the door, it was Ling Jingen and the militia platoon commander Qi Dasong.

"Jin Cheng is here, what are you talking about with my little sister? Haha, come in and sit, drink some tea first, Secretary Zhu will have to wait for a while to arrive. Ling Jingen jokingly beckoned Jin Cheng in.

"The medicine has been delivered!" Jin Cheng was familiar with these two people, and he was not polite, so he sat down and chatted casually after entering.

"I sent it, it was sent by Lao Qi, and I handed it over to Secretary Zhu by hand." Ling Jingen said with a smile.

"Hard, hard."

"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's my honor to sit here today, it's Ling Shu~ remember to look up to me, wait for me to look at my watch at the wine table, and promise to accompany Secretary Zhu." Qi Dasong stood up excitedly and expressed his determination, which made Jin Cheng laugh in his heart.

"Don't, don't move the country drinking set here, how to drink today or listen to Jin Cheng, Jin Cheng, what do you see?" Ling Jingen had never been in contact with the level of the county, and he didn't know what twists and turns, so he asked Jin Cheng for help.

"Ling Shu ~ Ji is right, don't pour wine, drink at night at will, according to my experience of drinking with Secretary Zhu once, he has a good amount of alcohol, and he is not good at drinking, and he is now in a critical period, it is difficult to ensure that there is no emergency at night, and it is not good to drink too much, you can only make mistakes, I think it is most appropriate to control the amount within the range of one catty, and this rudder will be mastered by Ling Shu ~ remember." Although Jin Cheng didn't have much experience, he put himself in Zhu Zhen's shoes, and this wine should still be drunk less.

"Okay, Jin Cheng has a point, just do it, Jin Cheng, can you reveal who the Chinese medicine is for?" Speaking of this curiosity, everyone has it, even uncle-level figures such as Ling Jingen and Qi Dasong are no exception, and they all hold their breath and wait for Jin Cheng's answer.

"We can only talk about this in private, and don't let it go out of this room." Jin Cheng thought about it, since they asked, it didn't hurt to talk to them, after all, this was an open secret, as long as it wasn't publicized everywhere.

"That's, we definitely won't talk nonsense, Lao Qi, what do you say?" Ling Jingen said.

"That's for sure, where to say it, promise to keep your mouth shut." Qi Dasong made a serious statement, and after speaking, he pricked up his ears and listened to Jin Cheng's speech.

"The county magistrate's wife is sick......"

"Oh......" Ling Jingen suddenly realized, and then talked and laughed again, his idea was very simple: as long as Secretary Zhu or County Magistrate Feng were not sick.
