Chen Jianhai took a look at the caller information and found that it was Su Jie.
"Boss Chen, what are you busy with?" Su Jie's voice rang from the phone.
Chen Jianhai smiled and said: "What a waste! What do I have to do? I just go back and forth to three hotels."
Su Jie: "Then if Boss Chen is not busy, go back to Zaomen for a meeting next week!"
"The membership application for Lion Castle Hotel has been approved,"
"Next Monday, the Shell Intermediate Hotel Industry Association will hold a welcome meeting and a semi-annual work meeting for new members. At that time, other bosses from the Shell Hotel Industry Association will come."
"If Boss Chen has nothing else to do, it would be best to come back and participate."
Chen Jianhai was delighted: "Isn't it next Monday? Brother Su, I promise to go!"
I remember back then, the big bosses of the Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association were holding cigarette butts in their hands and spitting at each other. I wonder if Beike has the same virtue.
Thinking about it, it still makes people have a little expectation.
"Boss, is there any good news?" Wen Zifan asked curiously.
"It's not good news, but it's not bad news either." Chen Jianhai said with a smile.
"There will be a meeting of the Shell Hotel Industry Intermediate Association next Monday. You can go with me."
The amber peach blossom eyes lit up instantly!
"Can I come with you?" Wen Zifan said in disbelief.
"Let's go together." Chen Jianhai said: "You can't stay in Nanjiang forever. It's just a good time to go to Shell with me to know the way."
Wen Zifan's whole person instantly showed an extremely bright look.
"Okay boss~~~I'll go buy a ticket right now!"
Chen Jianhai nodded: "By the way, ask Qiao Ni and Xiao Lang. If they leave too, buy tickets together."
"Great boss!"
…
The high-speed train shuttles through the fields and villages between cities. The golden sunshine dyes the rice straw along the way with a heavy warmth. The slender rice stalks bend down to the earth, and the joy of a good harvest rushes towards them.
Early on Monday morning, Chen Jianhai and Wen Zifan boarded the high-speed train bound for Zaomen.
Although this time I was originally scheduled to come back with Xiao Lang and Da Bo,
However, Xiaolang Shenlong has been missing these days, and he doesn't know where to go. Xu Bo also said that Nanjiang has some personal matters to deal with, and he will stay here for two days before returning to Zaomen.
So Chen Jianhai simply decided to leave for Zaomen on Monday morning, get off the high-speed train and go directly to Beike for a meeting.
When Chen Jianhai and Wen Zifan arrived at the Zaomen high-speed railway station, a steady stream of people hurried past. The high-speed railway station was noisy, and there were various advertising signs. There were many colorful high-rise buildings on both sides of the road, of different shapes.
Thousands of people are walking on the roadside, rushing for life and future, and the atmosphere of commerce and busyness is particularly strong.
As the economic center of seven provinces and the regional central city of the Chunyang urban agglomeration, Zaomen has strong advantages in terms of regional radiation and population attractiveness. There is a huge flow of passengers traveling for official business every day. The "Zaomen Airport" and
The daily population of "Zaomen Railway Station" is several times that of surrounding cities.
Driven by so many business transactions, Zaomen's hotel industry is almost monopolized by business hotels.
Rather than saying it is the Shell Intermediate Hotel Industry Association, it is better to say it is the "Zaomen Branch of the Intermediate Business Hotel Association".
It was Wen Zifan's first time coming to Zaomen, and everything she saw was new to her.
"The atmosphere here is completely different from Nanjiang."
Chen Jianhai nodded and said: "It is indeed different. One is a resort city and the other is an economic center. The attitude and atmosphere of life are very different."
"Actually, it would be good to open a business hotel in the center of Zaomen..."
Wen Zifan asked curiously: "Open a hotel here?"
Chen Jianhai said: "Yes, business hotels are originally positioned above budget hotels. Business guests are not very sensitive to price, so the price is higher than other types of hotels of the same level."
"Moreover, Zaomen's customer source structure and urban transportation have natural advantages. If a business hotel can be opened in the center of Zaomen, the hotel's future development will definitely not be bad, but it is a pity..."
Chen Jianhai sighed resentfully.
It's a pity that some people have money now, but they don't have points!
…
The car drove along the city road of Zaomen, crossed the Ginkgo River, passed through the lush avenue and Wanque Park, and finally stopped in front of a milky white building.
The Shell Hotel Industry Association in front of you is 12 stories high. Its entire appearance is in the shape of a round shell, which looks very eye-catching.
As soon as they got off the car, the reception staff of the association greeted them. After checking the identity information of Chen Jianhai and Wen Zifan, they led them into the large conference room of the building.
"Boss Chen!
"
As soon as he walked into the hall, an enthusiastic voice greeted him.
Tong Tongsheng waved his hand and walked towards Chen Jianhai with a smile.
"Good morning, Boss Tong!" Chen Jianhai responded enthusiastically.
"Congratulations to Boss Chen for successfully joining the association. Come on, let's go in and talk." Tong Tongsheng said as he put his arm around Chen Jianhai's shoulders and walked into the conference room, looking familiar as if the two had known each other for a long time.
Although the enthusiasm is inexplicable, it is not annoying.
The other party took the initiative to show affection, and Chen Jianhai was naturally happy to accept it. The two of them walked and chatted like brothers, leaving only Liu Qinglu and Wen Zifan standing there helplessly, smiling at each other as a greeting, and then followed their boss to
Walk in the direction of the conference room.
The layout of the conference room of the Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association is basically the same.
In the middle of the conference room is an oval desk that can accommodate 30 people, with positions reserved for assistants on both sides.
As soon as he entered the house, Chen Jianhai was very self-conscious and sat down by the door without even thinking.
"Boss Chen, what are you doing sitting here?!" Tong Tongsheng was confused by Chen Jianhai's actions.
"In terms of seniority, isn't it normal for me to sit here as a newcomer?"
Chen Jianhai was thinking this in his heart, but he said: "I think this seat is pretty good and there's no one around, so I took it."
Tong Tongsheng pulled Chen Jianhai up and said, "Oh! Isn't this a joke if you sit down? Come, sit with me."
Saying that, Tong Tongsheng said nothing, almost half inviting and half pulling Chen Jianhai to the center of the table, took the initiative to lift the stool for Chen Jianhai, and then directly invited Chen Jianhai to sit down.
Chen Jianhai was a little confused.
...Is Zaomen so enthusiastic?!
He had such a good relationship with Huang Baichuan, but every time Nanjiang bosses gathered, Huang Baichuan never led him to the seat.
But when I first came to the Shell Association, I was invited to such a central location. Is this normal??
Or is it because you are new to the association, so the welcome ceremony is more grand?
For a while, Chen Jianhai had countless possibilities in his mind. It was true that he couldn't grasp Tong Tongsheng's thoughts.
But no matter what,
It feels really good to sit in the middle, at least it’s much more exciting than sitting at the door!
As time passed little by little, other bosses from the association came in one after another and took their seats one by one.
When they saw Chen Jianhai, everyone, whether they knew him or not, came over to chat with him.
Chen Jianhai also welcomed everyone who came, and soon mingled with everyone in the conference room, chatting and laughing, and proactively integrated into the crowd.
Lin Tao, the owner of the Colorful Holiday Hotel, who walked in later, was ignored. He sat alone near the door and looked at Chen Jianhai, who was sitting in the middle, with a complicated expression.
By the time Su Jie walked into the conference room, everyone was basically there.
When he saw Chen Jianhai sitting in the middle next to Tong Tongsheng, Su Jie shrank slightly and immediately took charge of the meeting.
The agenda of the meeting was very simple, with only two items in total.
The first item was naturally to welcome Lion Castle Hotel and Colorful Holiday Resort Hotel to join the club. The bosses expressed their congratulations and congratulations to Chen Jianhai from the bottom of their hearts, and then politely expressed their congratulations to Lin Tao.
The contrast is not big, but the damage is not small.
The second item is to study the meeting topics of the association.
Although Su Jie is the secretary-general of the association, he is more responsible for comprehensive administrative work. In addition, Tong Tongsheng is actually the one who secretly controls the association.
So when it came to the second item of the meeting, the host of the entire meeting had already implicitly transitioned from Su Jie to Tong Tongsheng.
In the conference room, Tong Tongsheng took a sip of tea and said:
"The above has issued a document, and it is expected that the promotion of the mid-level hotel industry association to the high-end hotel industry association will be launched at the beginning of next year."
"limited spots."
"Xuanyang Province has only given one quota in total, but those who are eligible for promotion include our shells and coconut umbrellas from Nanjiang."
Hearing the word "coconut umbrella", Chen Jianhai raised his eyebrows slightly and made a tacit look at Su Jie across from him.
Both of them came from Nanjiang, and they have a family-like feeling for Nanjiang.
When they heard that Coconut Umbrella had the opportunity to be promoted to the Senior Hotel Industry Association, the feelings of the two Nanjiang people about their hometown were instantly ignited. Not only were they interested, but they even made a reservation to hear what Beike's ideas and playing methods were like. When the time comes,
The thought of spreading the news again.
The Zaomen Hotel owners present here had no idea that two traitors were among them, and they were still listening to Tong Tongsheng's speech attentively.
"It has been seven years since Shell was promoted to the intermediate association."
Speaking of this, Tong Tongsheng sighed heavily.
"In the past seven years, we have repeatedly attacked high-level associations, but failed repeatedly."
"Do you want to hear the reason, Boss Chen?"
Chen Jianhai's back suddenly trembled, and he looked at Tong Tongsheng in confusion, not knowing why the other party suddenly brought the topic to him.
Tong Tongsheng said:
"As a city of development and magic, Zaomen itself has the most abundant flights and people flows in the country, which naturally brings abundant passenger flow."
"Previously, we have always focused on business travelers as our main customer group, and have been constantly committed to building faster and more comfortable business hotels. We have made some achievements and have successfully been promoted from a junior hotel industry association to a mid-level hotel industry association."
"But we have not found a direction on the road to transformation."
Tong Tongsheng spoke very slowly, as if giving a lecture, telling Chen Jianhai the development history of Zaomen Hotel.
"In the past few years, we have been working on how to transform traditional business hotels into service resort business hotels. We want to improve the functions of existing hotels and learn from the models of other resort service hotels such as Nanjiang to create a more
Humanized, efficient and highly standardized hotel management model.”
"But if you want everything too much, you end up with nothing."
"The transformation has been failing. Even now, the association is still stuck on the ceiling of a mid-level hotel and cannot find an exit."
"Seeing that the Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association is developing better and better now, maybe in a few days it will catch up and lag us further and further behind."
When Chen Jianhai heard this, he secretly felt a little proud in his heart.
Who doesn’t like to hear people outside praise our hometown?
It's just... whether someone gets promoted in the association or not, does it have anything to do with the hotel?
What impressed Chen Jianhai most deeply was that the biggest benefit of being promoted from a junior hotel industry association to a mid-level hotel industry association is that it can get more allocated funds to renovate and rebuild the association building in a stylish way.
The rest of the benefits are painless and not itchy.
It's nothing more than funding for employee training, hiring teachers, organizing events and competitions within the hotel industry, and giving out prizes.
Just like the MasterChef competition, the bonuses are obtained through sponsorships and are not paid by the association itself.
It’s really not that helpful to the hotels within the association.
If you have the skills to worry about the association... Isn't it better to run your own small hotel than anything else?!
As if sensing Chen Jianhai's disapproval, Tong Tongsheng said:
"Boss Chen, do you have any questions?"
Chen Jianhai said: "Boss Tong, I would like to ask if being promoted to the High-end Hotel Industry Association will be of any benefit to our hotel?"
Tong Tongsheng smiled and said: "Of course there are, and there are a lot of them!"
"Once the association can be promoted to a high-end hotel industry association, it can talk about many things on behalf of the hotels in the association."
"For example, opening exclusive airport service desks and ticket gates for association hotels, negotiating large-scale cooperation projects with the government, reducing rent taxes and property rents, establishing apps named after the association, directly managed by the association, eliminating the need for commissions from the platform, etc.
.”
"Once the Hotel Industry Association is promoted to the Advanced Hotel Industry Association, it means that all hotels will completely form a whole."
"The overall power and achievements that can be achieved by then are definitely beyond the imagination of a single hotel."
"The market has many choices, and what we do is to be the choice!"
"Time waits for us!"
Tong Tongsheng's voice was filled with inexplicable confusion and excitement.
Even the "ghost" Chen Jianhai was excited when he heard this. He tried his best to roll up his sleeves and show off his skills, and tried every means to push the Nanjiang Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association to the throne of the high-end hotel industry association!
As for the Shell Hotel Industry Association... I don't have any feelings, just love it as you like.
Anyway, my Shituoling Hotel has been tied up with the Magic Century Theme Park. It is far away from the city center and it is not a business hotel. I am too lazy to pay attention to their nonsense~~
Whether they die or not has nothing to do with me at all.
Just listen to these chicken blood and get it.
It would be more practical to think about how to consolidate the Coconut Umbrella Hotel Industry Association.
At this moment, Tong Tongsheng's voice sounded again.
"In the past few days, I have also chatted with several brothers in the association, and everyone has expressed their thoughts on the current predicament of the association."
"Perhaps the reason why the association has always failed to break the ice is because it does not have a correct leader."
"The position of association president has been vacant for a long time, and it's time for the association's leadership to be re-elected."
"I propose that Chen Jianhai be the president of the Shell Hotel Association. Everyone raises their hands if they agree."
