Chu Heng and Lou Xiao'e walked out of the elevator talking and laughing.
"Good evening, Mr. Chu."
When a room steward saw him, he hurriedly bowed and greeted him.
"Good evening." Chu Heng nodded slightly at him, raised his hand and guided Lou Xiao'e along the corridor towards the inside.
Lou Xiao'e looked sideways at him and said with a smile: "It seems that you are a familiar customer here. It seems that everyone here is familiar with you."
"Haha." Chu Heng smiled and said nothing, and turned to chat with her about other topics. He did not say that the hotel belonged to him, so as not to be mistaken for showing off.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the lounge located at the end of the floor.
This is the newly built lounge in the hotel. It is an executive lounge and is only open to senior members. Not only is it very private, the environment is elegant, and the decoration is high-end and elegant, it is also a status symbol. There are basically no people who appear here.
Ordinary ones are either high-ranking officials or bosses worth millions or millions.
It is impossible for fake socialites who want to be sugar daddies to get in, so this place is very suitable for business discussions.
"Is this the newly opened executive lounge?" When she came to the lounge, listening to the soothing music in her ears, Lou Xiao'e looked around curiously: "This is my first time here. I heard that the service is very fast.
good."
"It's my first time too." Chu Heng also looked at the environment and nodded with satisfaction.
There were not many people in the lounge at this time, only a dozen guests, scattered in twos and threes, communicating with each other in low voices, making it seem very quiet.
When the lounge manager saw Chu Heng coming in, he hurried over and asked respectfully: "Good evening, Mr. Chu, is there anything I can help you with?"
"No one has made a reservation over there, right?" Chu Heng pointed to a few seats on the other side of the floor-to-ceiling windows, which have the best environment in the entire lounge. Sitting there, you can just overlook the Victoria Harbor not far away.
"No, please come with me." The supervisor hurriedly led them over.
In fact, what Chu Heng asked was nonsense. He is the big boss of the hotel. Even if he has a reservation, who can beat him?
Soon, the two of them came to a seat by the window and sat down. After each ordered something to drink, the supervisor left.
Lou Xiao'e squinted at the brightly lit port outside the window and sighed: "It's so beautiful. This is the first time I've seen Victoria Harbor from this perspective."
"That's it, I always get tired of reading it." Chu Heng shrugged, took out a thick letter from his trouser pocket and put it on the table, with a face full of teasing: "Look, you have probably been thinking about it all the way.
Alright?"
"So what if I miss you all the way?" Lou Xiao'e immediately withdrew her gaze, stretched out her hand to take the letter like lightning, and quickly opened it. She happily took out the letter and unfolded it, lowering her head and reading word for word.
This hand speed... I practice it a lot!
Chu Heng shook his head with a smile, reached out to take a glass of cocktail delivered by his supervisor, looked at the night view outside, and drank it in small sips.
After a while, Lou Xiao'e, who had been silent all the time, suddenly started sobbing.
"Pap tap tap."
A teardrop fell from her eye, fell on the letter paper with dense pen writing, and quickly fainted.
She quickly took away the letter paper, carefully folded it and put it back into the envelope.
"What's wrong?" Chu Heng looked over it in confusion. He had read the content of the letter, and there was nothing provoking in it. It was just talking about the things around him, just like a commonplace chatter.
Can you cry?
"It's okay." Lou Xiao'e wiped away her tears, put the letter into her bag, and said with a smile through her tears: "I just miss him, or I miss the days when we were together. Although it was painful, I was really happy.
It’s not like now, life is better, but I can’t see any real feelings.”
"The past is in the past, let the past drift." Chu Heng picked up the wine glass and clinked it with her, changing the subject in a timely manner: "By the way, you haven't said where your hotel is yet."
Lou Xiao'e took a sip of wine to calm down, and then said: "It's not decided yet. I don't plan to build a new building. I want to buy a ready-made one. The ones I'm currently interested in include Li Wo in Tsim Sha Tsui and Cui Guan in Kowloon Bay.
They are all in contact.”
"Lihe?"
Chu Heng couldn't help but be stunned and looked at her with a strange face.
Does this make him a competitor?
That's not right. With the financial resources of the Lou family, how many tens of millions can they spend to buy a hotel?
"What's wrong?" Lou Xiao'e looked over in surprise.
"Nothing." Chu Heng shook his head gently and asked calmly: "Lihe, I remember it is a star hotel, it is not cheap. It turns out that Sister Lou is a rich man."
"What's Monopoly? We are a partnership of multiple companies. Otherwise, where would we have gotten so much money, tens of millions?" Lou Xiao'e explained.
"Partnership, partnership business is not easy to do. After a long time, there will be a lot of nonsense." The corners of Chu Heng's mouth turned up slightly. Partnership is good. Isn't there something to write about?
Today I have messed up this deal!
Otherwise, when the time comes to fight against each other, harmony will be greatly harmed.
"I know it too, but my dad insists on doing it, so I can't help it." Lou Xiao'e shrugged, with a helpless expression and a bit of self-deprecation: "I'm just a drunkard."
Have a complaint?
Chu Heng stared at her, moved his eyes slightly, and said, "I think it's better to go it alone."
"Nonsense, if I have money to go it alone, how can I join a partnership?" Lou Xiao'e raised her head and drank the remaining wine in the glass in one breath, saying angrily.
"If you don't have money, there are ways to do it. If you have money, there are ways to make money." Chu Heng said with a smile: "Actually, the demand in the mid- to low-end market is also quite large. Why do you have to focus on the high-end market?"
"Mid-to-low-end? You mean a hotel?" Lou Xiao'e said with a look of disgust: "How much money can I make? If I open a hotel, I might as well go back and open a restaurant."
"If one company makes little money, wouldn't it be better to open a few more?" Chu Hengbi gestured: "You just build a chain hotel for the middle and low-end market, and use the ultimate cost-effectiveness as a gimmick, and the main thing is
It is clean and hygienic, economical and affordable, and then it needs a unified image, a unified membership system, a unified marketing strategy, and a unified management model. In the early stage, we will build awareness and let it be deeply rooted in people's hearts. Later, we will start to develop franchisees.
You just need to stay at home, and the franchise fee will be at your fingertips!”
Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and she was also a little excited. Then she said thoughtfully: "It sounds like it's quite interesting."
"But..." She shook her head again: "Although I haven't calculated it in detail, but if you think about it a little, you will know that the initial investment in this hotel chain is definitely not small. My family can't afford it, so I might as well forget it."
"It's okay. You can find someone to invest. They are only responsible for paying dividends and not participating in management. Isn't this the same as what your family does alone." Chu Heng smiled like a fox.
"It's easy to talk about. Who is not a fool? Where can I find such an enemy?" Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at him.
"Ahem."
Chu Heng, the victim, coughed lightly and straightened his clothes while sitting upright. He suddenly looked like a human being, with a confident and proud smile on his lips, and said: "Let's get to know you again, I am Chu Heng, a non-famous investment institution, Stanley Fund.
The shareholder is also the person in charge of the Asia-Pacific region, including the Mandarin Hotel and Pavilion Properties, which are all the company's properties."
