After a while, everyone came up with a lot of high-end hotel names, such as Xijiao Hotel, Portman Ritz, Peace Hotel, International Hotel, Jinjiang Hotel, etc., and so on, and so on, and there were a lot of them, and the opinions were not unanimous.

"Choose a reputable old brand!" Yang Peiqi said.

"If you want to say that the oldest qualification and the most reputable, it is of course the International Hotel. Before the Japanese invaded Tohoku, the International Hotel had already opened in the magic capital, and it has persisted until now. A high-ranking member of the Demon Capital replied.

However, he immediately paused, and then said: "However, this hotel is not very good in the magic capital now, it is only a four-star hotel." ”

Yang Peiqi thought for a while and said, "The star rating or something is not very important, the most important thing is how is the food there?" ”

One of them said, "It feels good." ”

Hearing him say this, Yang Peiqi said: "Since it's not bad, let's eat it today." Inform the employees of each department that they are ready to go to the International Hotel HAPPY! ”

The Explorer Mining Company was still some distance away from the International Hotel, so it began to take a taxi in batches. Explorer Mining only allocates cars to the heads of various departments of the company, as for ordinary employees, naturally there are none, after all, Explorer Mining Company has only been established for a short time.

When Yang Peiqi saw this situation, she said to Sun Wanru, who held the financial power of the company: "Wanru, the company now has four or five hundred people. You can't go out and get a taxi for everything. First, it is inconvenient, and secondly, the time cannot be guaranteed. It seems that a batch of official cars will be purchased. ”

"I've thought about it, but it's going to cost a lot of money." Sun Wanru replied.

Yang Peiqi said: "The company's image is also very important. Top-notch large company. How do you get employees to squeeze the bus or take a taxi while they are at work? That's good, just buy a business-type Mercedes-Benz S300 or S350, buy thirty or forty units, you should be able to get a discount. ”

Thirty or forty Mercedes-Benz S-Class?! Several high-level people in the room were stunned!

is worthy of being a big boss, and the bearing of speaking is different!

You know, the price of Mercedes-Benz S300 or Mercedes-Benz S350 is about one million, and buying thirty or forty cars is an expenditure of thirty or forty million. It was decided in one sentence, and I didn't see Sun Wanru have any doubts, what a strong and rich boss!

Follow such a boss. Promising!

Everyone suddenly made up their minds that if possible, they must die of old age in the Explorer Mining 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. More than forty taxis were stopped along the way. The pedestrians on this road were a little depressed, so much so that the taxi drivers thought that something serious was happening here, and they all drove over to watch.

……

Completed in 1934, the International Hotel has a total of 24 floors, 22 floors above ground and two floors underground. An underground vault was built. In the thirties and forties of the twentieth century, even Tokyo, Japan, did not have such a tall modern building. As a result, the International Hotel became the largest skyscraper in the Far East.

At that time, the price of the magic capital was already very high, for example, the Bund, which was the place with the highest land price, in the early thirties, the land price had reached 300,000 taels of silver per mu.

When the city was opened, the British, Americans, and Western businessmen went to the city to rent land from local farmers, and the price of land per mu was only 1,500 wen at that time. In less than 100 years, the price of land has increased by 200,000 times.

The International Hotel was funded and built by the Four Banks Savings Association, designed by the famous Hungarian architect Hudak, and the Four Banks Savings Association 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 in guò, 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 piece of land on the edge of the racecourse.

The International Hotel sits on the north and faces south, and you can 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 the reception talked about the glorious history of the International Hotel, for example, the engagement ceremony of General Chennault and Ms. Chen Xiangmei, the captain of the Flying Tigers, was held here, and the opening ceremony of the Sino-American 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 the magic capital of the International Hotel has been maintained for half a century." The waiter said with some pride.

Yang Peiqi listened to it but was a little disapproving, 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 it will take how many years of struggle for the Chinese people to be able to catch up?

Moreover, as the former boss of the hotel industry in the magic capital, now it is not even rated as a five-star, what else is there to be proud of?

It's just that among the tourists who come here, I'm afraid that few people will think like Yang Peiqi, right?

The hotel has five different styles of restaurants that serve Chinese and Western dishes, namely the International Corridor, Fengze Building, Shunfeng Hall, Peacock Hall, and Cloud Building.

As a result, there are still the most people who eat Western food, Yang Peiqi originally wanted to eat Chinese food, but Sun Wanru and several of the girls said that they wanted to try the Western food here, so Yang Peiqi also ate Western food with them.

After ordering, some dishes that could be served were delivered first, and the waiter asked, "Miss, what kind of drinks do you need?"

The selection of drinks is generally decided by the most authoritative person in the banquet, and the waiter asked the group of people who came over, and everyone pointed their fingers to Yang Peiqi's table, so the waiter came here to ask, and the waiter's object of inquiry was Chen Xiaoqiang, the eldest person at this table. After all, at their table, except for Chen Xiaoqiang, who was middle-aged at first glance, the others were all young people under the age of thirty. According to the traditional practice of China, this person with the most status basically means that he is the oldest.

Chen Xiaoqiang pointed at Yang Peiqi and said to the waiter with a smile: "Don't look at me!" The main owner is there, it's all his consumption, you see what he says! ”

The waiter looked at Yang Peiqi and said in his heart, whose son-in-law is this? So many people let him come to spend, and he really has money!

But it's none of his business, as long as he can sell a lot of alcohol and make money. So he asked Yang Peiqi again: "Sir, what kind of drinks do you need?" ”

Yang Peiqi thought for a while and said: "I don't remember the name of the wine, it seems that the most famous ones are from the Bordeaux region of France, right?" What Lafite, Latour? ”

The waiter was a little surprised that Yang Peiqi didn't know about wine, but he was only stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses. Moreover, he was obviously very skillful, and immediately went on to introduce him: "In addition to Lafite, Latour, we also have Red Face, Mouton, Margaux, Petus, Cheval, and Oson, the eight wine kings, and of course domestic wines. The price is also much cheaper. ”

The waiter was obviously not too black-hearted, he looked at the number of diners in the hall, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, I see that you have a lot of people, why don't you have some domestic wine?" ”

Yang Peiqi waved her hand and said, "To be honest, I don't have much affection for French wines, but today I am entertaining the staff, and I can't let them say that the boss is too picky." That's good, it's not the eight wine kings, eight bottles per table must not be drinkable, it's a bit of a waste. Then there are four bottles on each table, and the two tables are exchanged for drinking, and everyone tastes it, which can be regarded as drinking the top wine in France. ”

The waiter nodded and wrote it down, but he was greatly shocked in his heart, and secretly thought to himself: "It's really a local tyrant!" Four bottles per table, for a total of seven tables. It's a lot more expensive to spend than a meal! ”

"No! We don't care, you guys are too bullying, how can there be such a reason in the world?! The shopkeeper is not like this! Just as Yang Peiqi was ordering a drink, a somewhat angry voice came from the door of the hall where Yang Peiqi and the others were.

Yang Peiqi just glanced over there, but she didn't care. There were five or six people, men and women, it seemed to be two or three families, one of them a pair of young men and women was standing in front of them to negotiate with the hotel service staff, and behind the pair of young men and women were several middle-aged and elderly people in their forties and fifties.

"Please pay attention, we are a star-rated hotel, not a casual place outside, if you make trouble here again, we will only have to notify the people from the Public Security Bureau." The waiter at the hotel was a girl, who looked pretty good, but there was an indescribable coldness and contempt in her tone.

"Reason travels all over the world!" The young man's face was flushed with anger, and his eyes flashed with anger, "You International Hotel can't do it without giving us an explanation!" (To be continued......)
