After listening to what Xu Huizhen said, Cao Zhiqiang was not annoyed, but laughed.

"Give me a reason I can agree with." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "Why do you think that I spent money to invest and helped you get a foreign-related hotel qualification certificate, but I can only share 30% of the shares?" ”

"Because, you don't have the time to take care of it all day." Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "You just invest, and then sit and wait for dividends, the specific handling is me, I will take 20% more shares, not too much, right?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "It sounds good, but the question is, you used to run a tavern, why do you think you can do a good foreign-related hotel?"

Do you know what a real foreign-related hotel looks like? Have you ever stayed in a foreign-related hotel?

For example, the Peking Hotel, such as the Jianguo Hotel, have you ever lived?

In particular, have you stayed in the executive suites of these hotels? ”

"This ......" Xu Huizhen was stunned, and then smiled, "I want to live, but I don't have that qualification."

The Beiping Hotel you are talking about, as well as the Jianguo Hotel, only accept foreign guests and overseas Chinese, and only accept foreign exchange rolls, how can we, ordinary people, go in and live? You can't live even if you have money! ”

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head: "So, without investigation, there is no right to speak."

In my opinion, what you said was from others, and you haven't really lived in the past, have you?

But I'm telling you, what you're talking about, it's all prejudice.

In fact, ordinary people can also live, as long as they have money. ”

"Impossible." Xu Huizhen shook his head: "Foreign-related hotels only entertain foreign guests and overseas Chinese, this is a rule, how can we be allowed to live in?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "I have stayed in the Peking Hotel, I have also stayed in the Jianguo Hotel, and even the Jianguo Hotel for a long time, so I think I still have the right to speak." ”

"Really?" Xu Huizhen frowned, "Can you stay at the Jianguo Hotel?" ”

"If you don't believe me, I can take you to my room at the Jianguo Hotel." Cao Zhiqiang smiled.

"I live in a garden-style executive suite, which costs 80 US dollars a day, or 160 yuan of foreign exchange rolls, or 300 yuan RMB, you can do it.

However, if you choose RMB, you must pay a deposit of 300 yuan in advance, and pay one for one.

Long-term rent, from one week, 260 RMB a day, pay one week in advance. ”

Hearing this, Xu Huizhen opened her mouth wide: "Isn't it, eighty dollars a day, or 160 yuan foreign exchange volume, or 300 yuan RMB?"

Is it just a day? It's a money grab! ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "It depends on what perspective you stand on."

From the perspective of ordinary people, this is indeed ridiculously expensive, after all, most people's monthly salary is only more than 50 RMB. ”

"Fifty." Xu Huizhen hurriedly shook her head, "It's good to have forty yuan a month now." ”

Cao Zhiqiang didn't argue, just smiled and nodded: "So, in the eyes of us ordinary people, it is really not cost-effective to spend more than half a year's salary just to live for a day."

But for those foreigners and overseas Chinese, this is nothing.

Take the US dollar, for example.

The average salary of workers in the United States now is more than $2,000 or even $3,000 a month.

In this way, 80 dollars is not a lot, but if it is tourism, it is nothing.

What's more, most of the people who can come to China are not workers, but merchant capitalists, or middlemen, and their incomes are higher.

Similarly, those overseas Chinese are not bad.

At present, the overseas Chinese who come to the capital are mainly Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and since they come here, in addition to tourism, they are looking for business opportunities, and they will not be too short of money.

So the $80 forex roll is not a problem for them.

In the final analysis, it is foreigners, especially those in developed Western countries, whose income is much higher than ours, so they think it is small money, and we think it is big money.

Of course, this is also our advantage, the advantage of cheap labor.

It is precisely because of the low wages of our workers and the low cost of labor that we can attract foreign investment.

After all, capital is profit-seeking.

On the other hand, we also need this foreign capital to increase our foreign exchange reserves, as well as attract foreign investment to set up factories, increase employment channels, and solve our surplus labor force.

Only when the problem of surplus labor is solved, can the wages of our people rise, and this is called the balance between supply and demand.

This is the purpose of the country's reopening.

If it is still the same as before, it will not be possible to solve the problem of employing a large number of young people with the current industry of the country alone.

In order to alleviate the pressure of employment, you can't go to the countryside again, right? ”

Xu Huizhen nodded thoughtfully: "It makes sense, then it seems that I have to do this foreign-related hotel, this is too profitable." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Then the question comes back, why should I cooperate with you?"

I have money, connections, and channels, and I can open a foreign-related hotel by myself, without having to partner with you.

As for the business problem, I really don't have time to spend all day on hotel management.

But don't forget, you're not the only one who can run a hotel.

On the other hand, I know a Hong Kong guy who is also very experienced in this area, and at least she can help me find an experienced manager to manage the hotel for me.

As long as the modern enterprise system is implemented, even if I am a monster, there is no problem.

So, I don't care what you call a few percent.

All I care about is what you can bring to me, and whether what you bring to me is worth my investment!

If you can't convince me, then I'm sorry, I'll just come for nothing, and you can ask for another high-mindedness. ”

Hearing Cao Zhiqiang say this, Xu Huizhen subconsciously frowned, and then looked at Cao Zhiqiang carefully.

After discovering that Cao Zhiqiang didn't mean to have a hippie smile, she realized that Cao Zhiqiang was serious.

After rolling her eyes, Xu Huizhen did not answer immediately, but asked rhetorically: "Since you are so powerful and confident, why do you still come to me to talk about cooperation?" Just do it yourself. ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "I came to see you, just interested in you." ”

"Huh?"

It was not Xu Huizhen on the other side who made this exclamation.

It was Xu Jingli, who had just walked to the door.

At this time, she was holding a tea tray full of teapots and cups, and looked at Cao Zhiqiang dumbfounded.

Obviously, she heard that sentence just now.

It was precisely because she heard it that she was so surprised.

After all, that sentence is too easy to misunderstand.

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked at Xu Jingli, and then immediately said: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that."

I mean, when Xiao Xu told me about her mother.

Well, I think it's very interesting when I talk about Ms. Xu Huizhen's idea of cooperating with me, especially the idea of opening a foreign-related hotel.

Because at this time, there are really not many people who can think of this.

Even if there is, it is generally an industry insider who has had contact with foreign-related hotels, or overseas Chinese who are more discerning.

But Ms. Xu is a native of Beiping, and she doesn't seem to have ever been abroad, let alone Xiangjiang.

It is quite rare to be able to have this kind of insight without going far away, and dare to think and dare to do it.

It was because I was curious about Ms. Xu's vision and courage that I planned to come and have a look. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang turned his head to look at Xu Huizhen: "But, Ms. Xu, these alone are not enough to impress me, especially the condition you just said is completely to persuade me to quit."

So, if you really want to cooperate with me, you have to show sincerity!

You have to convince me that you really want to do this with me.

Instead of just talking big! ”

After listening to Cao Zhiqiang's words, Xu Huizhen still didn't answer immediately, but said to Xu Jingli: "Jingli, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and pour tea for President Cao." ”

Xu Jingli hurriedly put down the tea tray, then hurriedly poured a cup of tea, held it in both hands and handed it to Cao Zhiqiang: "President, drink tea." ”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded at her, took the cup of tea with his hand, and took a sip gently.

Even if Cao Zhiqiang is not thirsty now, he has to take a sip, which is basic politeness.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Jingli poured another cup of tea and handed it to Xu Huizhen.

Xu Huizhen took it and took a sip gently, and after sorting out his thoughts for a while, he put down the teacup and said to Cao Zhiqiang with a smile: "President Cao, you are worthy of being a person who does great things, and you are so direct when you speak." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, and also put down the teacup: "I just like to talk about things in advance, so as not to be unclear."

Again, although I came uninvited, I am only interested in your vision and courage, but it does not mean that I will approve of the cooperation project you said.

If you really want to work with me, come up with a solid charter and convince me.

If it doesn't work, let's just talk about it and disperse, don't delay everyone's time. ”

Xu Huizhen nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll talk about it."

In fact, I have about a million on hand now.

This money, if you just open an ordinary hotel, must be more than enough.

But I know that although opening an ordinary hotel is also profitable, it is nothing compared to a foreign-related hotel.

Without you, I'm sure I could have done it, but just by doing it a little smaller.

The trouble is the number of places in foreign-related hotels.

But for me, it's not a big deal.

To tell you the truth, I used to be the director of the neighborhood committee here, and I am from the old Beiping, so if I look for a relationship, I still have eyebrows.

It's just that in this way, even if I can open this hotel, it will be barely possible, it will be very difficult, and the scale is not too large.

That's why I thought, to find someone to work with me, at least I have to have the strength to come up with a million.

In this way, there are two million dozens, and this foreign-related hotel will have the confidence to do so, and it will no longer be reluctant.

Of course, I also know that my little family background is definitely not comparable to a big boss like President Cao.

But I also have an advantage.

That's what I'm familiar with in Beiping.

Especially when it comes to diet, I have a lot of strengths.

Because I am not only familiar with various vegetable vendors, but I can also get the cheapest purchase price and the best ingredients.

I also know a lot of top local chefs, and I can invite them to come over as chefs and make authentic Beijing and Shandong cuisine.

This hotel should also be distinctive.

It's not just a grand atmosphere.

You've got to work on your diet and keep your guests' stomachs!

It's like why the Peking Hotel is so powerful, isn't it just a government dish known as a top dish.

Coincidentally, I know a cook, and my family used to cook for the palace, and they all cooked authentic palace dishes.

But this person is only something I can invite, and no one else can invite.

Therefore, in cooperation with me, the hotel will have one more palace dish, is this considered a specialty? Is it an advantage? ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "It's barely one, but it's not enough, it's far from enough." ”

After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang said: "There are good cooks who can cook, and there are not only one or two people who can cook court dishes.

For example, the Fangshan Restaurant in Beihai Park, the masters in the people are all serious about making imperial meals, which is a serious inheritance.

Coincidentally, I do know that there has been a bit of unhappiness among several masters in Fangshan Restaurant recently, so if I am willing to spend a lot of money to poach people, I don't have to worry about not being able to invite the master inside.

In addition, I can not only invite court cuisine, but also the masters of the four major cuisines of Shandong cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, and Huaiyang cuisine.

The reason is simple, I have money.

This is not what it used to be.

In today's era, as long as you have money, you can hire any master, it is nothing more than whether the price can be negotiated.

So, this advantage of yours may seem good to others, but in my opinion, that's it. ”

Xu Huizhen frowned, and suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Wait, I still have something that no one else has!" ”

"What is it?" Cao Zhiqiang asked lightly.

"Side dishes!" Xu Huizhen said, "Our family's side dishes! Nowhere else, only the side dishes I have here! ”

"Side dishes?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, and the hand that had just grabbed the teacup stopped, "What is it?" ”

Xu Huizhen smiled slightly: "Jingli, go, tell your Uncle Cai, and bring a plate of our family's secret kimchi." ”

"Oh!" Xu Jingli nodded, and then quickly ran away.

After Xu Jingli left, Xu Huizhen stopped talking, just sat quietly and drank tea.

Seeing that Xu Huizhen didn't want to speak, Cao Zhiqiang didn't speak, so he accompanied her to drink tea quietly.

Soon, Xu Jingli came back again, and sure enough, he came over with a plate of kimchi, a handful of chopsticks, and a pot of wine.

"Here, let's taste it." Xu Huizhen smiled and handed Cao Zhiqiang a pair of chopsticks, "Try our exclusive kimchi, and then talk about the rest."

By the way, it is best to match our wine to have a different flavor. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Huizhen glanced at Xu Jingli, and Xu Jingli hurriedly poured a small glass of liquor for Cao Zhiqiang.

Cao Zhiqiang frowned, and just wanted to say that he came by car and couldn't drink.

But when he saw that the two women were looking at him, he didn't say this.

Anyway, during this period, the police basically don't investigate drunk driving, and even if they do, with his current status, as long as nothing major happens, it doesn't matter.

Just take a sip and taste the taste, it's not a big problem.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang picked up the chopsticks, took a chopstick pickle, and slowly put it in his mouth.

Originally, he didn't care about it, it just meant it, and it was polite.

But when he actually put the kimchi in his mouth and chewed it lightly twice.

In an instant, his eyes lit up!
