Chapter 190: The hotel opens

So losing to Lai Xiaohu, a peasant from China, made Jarrett very faceless. And in the eyes of his father Chaves and his brother David, it seems that Jarrett is very incompetent. So in this matter, Chaves is not only angry with Lai Xiaohu, Donald and others, but also with his son Jarrett.

It's so uncompromising, sometimes Chaves thinks about how he gave birth to such a son. Compared with the former self, this is simply too different.

Of course, it was useless for Chaves to complain. Jarrett's ability is like that, and it's unlikely that he wants to change it.

But looking at Ivanka over there, Chaves also felt that this blonde beauty that he used to look at was not pleasing to the eye now.

In the past, he was very satisfied with Ivanka, after all, among the children of rich families, there are really few people who can be like Ivanka. At a young age, he began to be self-reliant, and now he is supporting himself in his father's company.

And what about the other rich children who were at the same time as Ivanka? Which one is not mud that can't support the wall, his own son can be considered good among these people. And if you look at the two Hiltons, their reputations have spread to all corners of the world.

But now? With the learning that Ivanka actually followed Lai Xiaohu? Chaves's impression of her suddenly dropped considerably. Strictly speaking, Chavez himself is a white supremacist man. So Lai Xiaohu, who is a yellow race, has a status in his eyes.

Naturally, for Ivanka, who is also Caucasian, to choose a Lai Xiaohu from China, Chaves saw that it was a manifestation of self-depravity.

What's more, when his eldest son David brought a few photos of Lai Xiaohu's life, Chaves was even more smacked at the speed of Ivanka's fall.

The photos that David got made Chaves see a little, in addition to the photos of the scandal between Lai Xiaohu and Liu Yixin, there are more intimate photos of Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying outside.

And now look at Ivanka and Zhang Ying standing together. Chaves can only say that such a woman should not be wanted. It's a disgrace to the white man.

Of course, at this time, Lai Xiaohu and Ivanka didn't know that Chaves had already gotten some photos of them, so you can still see bright smiles on their faces from time to time.

Eleven o'clock in the morning was Donald's scheduled opening time, and as the time slowly arrived, everyone began to straighten their clothes, and then sat up.

Looking around, Donald said to Lai Xiaohu, "There's still one person who hasn't come." ”

"Who?" Lai Xiaohu immediately asked when he heard this. Even someone as big as the mayor of Los Angeles arrived early, and who would dare not come at this time at Donald's request?

Donald was about to explain to Lai Xiaohu. But suddenly his eyes swept outside, and he immediately pulled Lai Xiaohu to greet him, and when the two walked forward, the door of the car parked at the door slowly opened, and a Gundam figure flashed. Lai Xiaohu finally knew who was such a big name.

Arnold? Schwarzenegger, a Hollywood legend. But that's not the point. The key is Schwarzenegger's other identity. Governor of California in the state where Los Angeles is located.

At this time, Schwarzenegger was in his fifth year as governor of California, and Mr. Bodybuilder, who was despised by Americans when he first came to the United States, has become a well-known figure in the world.

Americans have an American dream, and in the same way, everyone in the world has a hero dream of their own. And there is no doubt that Schwarzenegger is the best fulfiller of all these people's dreams.

From a down-and-out boy to a bodybuilder, from being despised to breaking into Hollywood. From not being favored by everyone, to now becoming the governor of California, a large state in the United States.

Every step of the way is an inspirational example for Schwarzenegger.

Of all the governors of the United States, Schwarzenegger is undoubtedly the most famous, and even his fame in the world is not much inferior to that of the president of the United States.

So see Schwarzenegger arrive. Lai Xiaohu was shocked, he didn't expect Donald to have such a strong network, and even the governor of California, who was popular all over the world, could be invited.

You know, in China, the governor is a person at the level of a provincial governor, do you think a provincial governor will go to the opening ceremony of a hotel? And Donald's ability to invite Schwarzenegger undoubtedly shows his own strong background strength.

Schwarzenegger's arrival caused a sensation, and for Ivanka and Zhang Ying, this is the superstar they once admired. For the other guests, if you can't get on good terms with Mr. Governor as a good businessman, you can call it a failure.

So Schwarzenegger's arrival quickly attracted everyone's attention, and he successfully replaced Donald and Lai Xiaohu to become the focus of everyone.

Lai Xiaohu, who is not good at dealing with these people, has been squeezed to the periphery, which makes Lai Xiaohu very angry. It's his hotel that opened today, and as the owner here, I didn't expect that none of my guests would steal all the scenery.

"One day I want to be like him and be the focus of the world." Seeing the high-spirited Schwarzenegger, Lai Xiaohu thought secretly in his heart.

Like Nixon, Schwarzenegger was a politician who knew that his arrival would rob Donald and Lai Xiaohu of the scenery as masters.

So after a little conversation with some of them, Schwarzenegger left the crowd, and everyone here was a person who understood, and everyone knew what Schwarzenegger meant. So it's no longer like just now, everyone is swarming around him.

Soon, the time came to half past eleven. With Donald's reminder, everyone walked outside.

At this time, the outside was already full of people, and Donald still attached great importance to this opening. Although before Lai Xiaohu came this time, he had been silent and did not carry out the slightest publicity.

But when Lai Xiaohu came, the plan to open was already on the agenda. So from that time on, Donald, who had been prepared for a long time, took action.

In one week, Donald spent more than $50 million on publicity. During this week's time, as long as you're in Los Angeles. Well, all around you, you can see Donald's promotional advertisements everywhere.

As long as you turn on the TV at home, you will definitely be able to promote the Meihua Hotel, and walking on the street outside, you can see car advertisements and road advertisements everywhere to tell every Angelenos that in this city, there is a hotel called Meihua that is about to open. In this hotel, you can taste the most wonderful food that mankind has ever seen, more than any other hotel has ever offered.

Donald's ad is actually very simple, it is to tell everyone in Los Angeles about the Mira Hotel through the sudden bombardment of advertisements in a short period of time.

At the same time, in addition to this propaganda for ordinary people, Donald also focused on the propaganda of the wealthy. Because in the future, the customers of Meihua Hotel will actually be those who are more affluent.

You must know that the price of Meihua Hotel is not low. According to the standard set by Donald, there are more than 2,000 rooms in the entire Meihua Hotel, and the rooms are divided into single, double, triple and so on. In terms of standard, all rooms are divided into four levels: standard, business, deluxe and presidential suite. And each level naturally corresponds to a level of consumption.

in these rooms. The minimum charge for a standard room is above $1,000. You know, it's a day, and you have to spend a thousand dollars a day. And it's the lowest. Most people can't afford it.

And that's not counting all consumption. Because now the customers in the standard room are all charged for food, that is, if you want to eat in the Meihua Hotel, you have to pay another amount of money. And this money will not be less, and it will probably be more than the cost of your room.

So from the very beginning, Donald has set his sights on those with high incomes.

And this is still a standard room, and above this is naturally a business room. The minimum cost of a business room is much higher than that of a standard room. A minimum of $2,000 per room is the standard for a business room. In the same way, there is no free food in the business room.

Deluxe rooms are more expensive than business rooms. The price of $4,000 is prohibitive for most people. However, guests of the Deluxe Room have a unique privilege. That is, they can order the food they like to eat as they please. Whether it's what is in the Meihua Hotel or what is not in it. As long as you are a guest of the Deluxe Room, you can enjoy this privilege to report what you want to eat to the hotel before each meal.

Then wait until it's time for the meal to start, and someone will bring you the food you ordered.

The last is the presidential suite, this charge is really ruthless in Lai Xiaohu's opinion, the Meihua Hotel has developed a total of twelve presidential suites, and Donald actually set the minimum fee at 20,000 US dollars a night, and the highest one is 80,000 US dollars a night.

Similarly, as a privilege, all purchases in the hotel are free for guests of the Presidential Suite. It's not for nothing that it's not unreasonable to charge someone so expensive. At the same time, all the privileges enjoyed by other customers, they will also enjoy.

And the reason why Donald dared to set such a high fee standard was because he had his own self-confidence. That's the vegetables that Lai Xiaohu provided him. Donald had tasted all those vegetables beforehand, and the food he made was definitely something that could make everyone crazy, but in terms of taste, Donald found that there was not much difference between those foods and those in Carlston.

But the key thing is that after eating these foods, Donald can clearly feel as if he is full of strength, and the whole person immediately rushes to a burst of refreshment.

The food provided by Lai Xiaohu seemed to have taken on a unique magic out of the category of ordinary vegetables, and with this, Donald believed that the rich people were willing to spend more money on these foods.

And in Donald's advertisement, there is also an idea that you can enjoy luxury and taste life in the Meihua Hotel, and all the people who come here are aristocrats.

To succeed first become a demon, only by making those customers crazy first, can Meihua Hotel succeed.

Outside the hotel's main entrance, Donald, Lai, Schwarzenegger, and the mayor of New York were lined up side by side. Donald started first, and then several people, including Lai Xiaohu, made a brief speech.

After everyone has spoken, it is not time to start cutting the ribbon directly, because here is the time of the performance.

Soon, a group of people slowly walked up to the stage in the center of the crowd, and when they saw their figures, countless screams and shouts suddenly sounded below.

"Who's that?" Lai Xiaohu immediately asked Ivanka.

"Bon Jovi," Ivanka said immediately.

"Oh, it's them." Although in China, I don't know what these people look like, Lai Xiaohu, but I have definitely heard of their name, Bang Qiaowei. A rock and roll group that has swept the world.

"They're singing one of their masterpieces, (YouWantTo) MakeAMemory."

Obviously, this Bon Jovi is the star invited by Donald to help, and Lai Xiaohu was even more impressed by Donald. These people aren't so easy to invite.

And after a masterpiece, the fans of Bon Jovi who came below shouted wildly.

After Bon Jovi stepped down, several world-class superstars came up one after another to sing. And finally, after pop diva Christina sang a masterpiece "Candyman" as the finale before the ribbon cutting, the time came to two o'clock in the afternoon.

In general, two o'clock in the afternoon is regarded as the beginning of a new business. So two o'clock in the afternoon is also the time for the ribbon cutting arranged by Donald.

Those people were still standing in a row. This time, there was no need to speak one by one, but after a pause in the speeches of the delegate Donald, several people cut the red cloth in front of them with a pair of scissors.

With the completion of the ribbon cutting, it marks the official start of business for Meihua Hotel. And as the door opened, those customers who had already arrived in advance immediately poured inside.

See this sight. Lai Xiaohu and Donald both smiled with satisfaction.

As a Chinese star invited by Lai Xiaohu, Liu Yixin was arranged to be the first to appear after the ribbon cutting.

The appearance of a Chinese star is very surprising, but it is not surprising to think of Lai Xiaohu, the Chinese boss.

And Liu Yixin, who walked on such a high-profile occasion for the first time, was also very nervous. In particular, the people who took the stage in front of him are some of the world's most famous stars, and they are just famous in China. In the world, especially in the United States, it is not very famous. So Liu Yixin really felt a lot of pressure.

And Liu Xiaoli had already discovered her daughter's trembling body, obviously she was also aware of her daughter's nervousness, but no matter how she comforted her at this time, Liu Yixin did not get any better.

Seeing that it was about to be her daughter's turn to take the stage, Liu Xiaoli became nervous because of this. If the performance is messed up this time, then it is still a trivial matter to make a scandal, and more importantly, Liu Yixin will definitely leave a shadow in her heart because of this.

But what can Liu Xiaoli do, even she regrets that she shouldn't let her daughter agree, it is obvious that such an occasion is not something that Liu Yixin can attend at this time.

Seeing Liu Xiaoli's eyes a little pleading for help, Lai Xiaohu hurriedly walked over and glanced at Liu Yixin, whose lips were trembling, and Lai Xiaohu understood what was going on.

The world-class superstars who took the stage just now and the large number of reporters below put too much pressure on Liu Yixin.

Putting his hands on Liu Yixin's shoulders, Lai Xiaohu said, "Don't worry, don't be nervous." I own more than 70% of this hotel, so I can say that I am the owner here. And you're my guest. I'm here, so there's no need for you to worry. ”

"Okay, okay." After Lai Xiaohu finished speaking, Liu Yixin closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and then turned around and walked onto the stage.

She sang a Chinese song known for its beautiful melody, so although the Americans below didn't understand what Liu Yixin was singing, the melody of this song alone sounded wonderful.

Looking at the applause given to him by the Americans below, even Liu Yixin, who was still nervous before, finally showed a relieved expression.

"Well, I'll just say you can do it." After Liu Yixin came down, Lai Xiaohu immediately said to her.

"Well, but thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have dared to walk up with confidence." What Liu Yixin said was indeed the truth. And this is the first time she has said thank you to Lai Xiaohu, you must know that what she said to Lai Xiaohu before was those not very nice words.

"Hehe," the first time I heard Liu Yixin thank herself, Lai Xiaohu touched the back of her head a little embarrassed.

After Liu Yixin, today's last finale guest began to perform on stage, "Isn't it, it's her?" ”

The last one to take the stage was pop diva Beyoncé, and this is also a singer that Lai Xiaohu himself prefers, so when Beyoncé sang, Lai Xiaohu also hummed a few words.

After Beyoncé finished singing, the whole performance came to an end.

For the guests attending the opening ceremony today, everyone can get a seven-day free deluxe room voucher from Meihua Hotel. Of course, whether they live or not depends on themselves.

And Lai Xiaohu didn't forget Hu Feifei and the others, saying that three months is three months, and Lai Xiaohu gave Hu Feifei and the others a room coupon that could stay for three months for free.

Of course, Lai Xiaohu knows that Hu Feifei and the others will not use this room coupon, and even if they move in, thanks to Xiaohu here, do you think Lai Xiaohu dares to collect money from Hu Feifei?

gave her this room coupon, mainly to block her mouth, so as not to go back when the time comes, complaining about Lai Xiaohu's stinginess.

And the next is the most critical link, which is indeed true for Donald and Lai Xiaohu. And others may be paying close attention at this moment, and the success of the Meihua Hotel also has a significant impact on them.

Lai Xiaohu and Donald have been standing at the front desk, their eyes constantly staring at the machine displayed on the computer.

Sixteen percent, 30 percent, 50 percent, 60 percent, 75 percent, these figures have only one meaning, that is, the occupancy rate of the Meihua Hotel, and by 5 o'clock in the afternoon, more than 75 percent of the more than 2,000 rooms in the entire Meihua Hotel have been booked.

By this time, Lai Xiaohu and Donald were both relieved, and if they were able to reach a 75% occupancy rate, the hotel would already have a profit. And more importantly, looking at the steady stream of customers coming now, the two of them would never believe that the number would stop at 75%.

And that's exactly what happened, and soon that 75 percent was replaced by 80 percent, 90 percent, 98 percent. By this time, both had already held their breath.

100 percent, 100 percent soon. Being able to achieve 100% occupancy on the first day of opening is an absolute miracle for Meihua Hotel. And it can also be a good start for the Meihua Hotel.

"One hundred percent." When the computer actually announced that the last room had been booked, all the employees in the hotel shouted happily.

It's really reached, it's really 100% occupancy on the first day.

The two of them have already succeeded halfway through the long march, and the next dinner tonight is the most important.

The most important thing is of course the quality of the food, and only by satisfying those customers with the food they have spent so much money to be late can we ensure the future occupancy rate of the Meihua Hotel.

In fact, in principle, the food in the Meihua Hotel is also sold to the outside world, but unfortunately, not only people from outside come in to eat, but the price is more expensive. Meihua Hotel has a rule, that is, all food is given priority to customers who hold Meihua Hotel room card. Therefore, according to the current situation of food supply in Meihua Hotel, it is difficult for people from outside to enjoy those delicacies after the hotel has given priority to internal customers in the short term.
