It only takes less than two hours of flight time from Yanjing to Jinling.
When the plane landed in Jinling, it was only ten o'clock in the morning.
Knowing that Xiao Churan was definitely not at home, Ye Chen had no plans to go home immediately. Instead, he asked Chen Zekai's men to send Du Haiqing back to the old house where Ye Chen's parents lived, and then went with Chen Zekai and Hong Wu.
Buckingham Palace.
Today's Buckingham Palace seems much deserted than before. This is in great contrast to the bustling scene that Buckingham Palace has always been.
Marven came to Chen Zekai's office, sat down and asked Chen Zekai: "By the way, Old Chen, why is Baijinhang not as lively as before today? I have been here so many times, and today is the most deserted one."
"
Chen Zekai said helplessly: "I heard from my subordinates yesterday that not only today, but also in the past few days, Buckingham Palace's business has declined significantly. Many companies in Jinling have signed entertainment agreements with us.
Our hotel is their regular business hotel, but Wanlong Palace announced that they would attack Yeling Mountain. Since then, they have all terminated cooperation.
"
Saying that, Chen Zekai added: "After you conquered the Wanlong Palace, you claimed that the Ye family compromised with the Wanlong Palace. In the past two days, the news that the Ye family was conquered by the Wanlong Palace has been widely circulated in the market, so Buckingham Palace's business has also been booming.
A lot less.
"
After a pause, Chen Zekai explained: "Actually, more than half of the business of five-star hotels like ours relies on public cooperation. Some travel agencies with cooperation agreements are on the one hand, and companies with business entertainment and conference needs are also on the one hand.
On the other hand, as for individual tourists who stay in five-star hotels when they go out, there are actually not that many. These companies have now drawn a clear line with Buckingham Palace, and the number of tourists has suddenly dropped by more than half, so it naturally seems very deserted.
"
Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "These companies are really realistic... They want to break even such a small cooperation, and the contractual spirit of these people is really lacking.
"
Chen Zekai nodded and said, "Master Ye, you don't know something..."
Ye Chen stretched out his hand to interrupt him and said seriously: "Old Chen, when you call me Master Ye, I always make a show, just like when Hong Wu calls me Young Master, why don't you just call me Young Master?
I've known you for so long and you've always called me that, and I'm used to it.
"
Chen Zekai chuckled and said: "To be honest, young master, it is indeed a bit awkward for me to call you Master Ye..."
After saying that, he quickly returned to the topic and said seriously: "Master, you don't know something. Many local companies in Jinling wanted to get close to me, so they signed entertainment agreements with us.
"
“But in fact, the consumption level of our hotels is still very high, and many companies are just barely able to get it by gritting their teeth.
"
"For example, if a company uses an express business hotel for hospitality, it will only cost more than ten or two hundred thousand a year, but if it is replaced by a five-star hotel like ours, it will cost at least six or seven hundred thousand a year. For them,
, the pressure is still quite high.
"
"Now that they feel that the Ye family is in decline, they must feel that there is no need to spend so much extra money to please me.
"
Ye Chen nodded and said calmly: "In this case, why not remove half of the hotel's guest rooms from the sales side.
"
After saying that, Ye Chen added: "From now on, all the administrative buildings in Buckingham Palace will be stopped for sale. I will keep the entire building for other uses.
"
"good.
Chen Zekai nodded without hesitation and said: "Then I will notify the management soon and remove these rooms from all channels immediately."
"
Ye Chen hummed and said: "When Wan Pojun comes, let the people from Wanlong Palace live in it first, and also leave a suite for Su Ruoli, and then free up twenty rooms for me to entertain business guests.
Let the professional managers of the Ye family come to Jinling regularly to report to me.
"
"Okay, Master.
Chen Zekai said hurriedly: "I will coordinate immediately and replace all the staff in the administrative building with my close associates. At the same time, I will strengthen security management to strictly prevent outsiders from entering."
"
"Um.
"Ye Chen nodded and said: "When Wan Pojun arrives, I will ask him to transfer a five-star general from Wanlong Palace, and then transfer thirty well-trained subordinates, and then let them
Form a flexible security team in Jinling, and you will command it. The people under your command are loyal enough, but their combat effectiveness is still a little weak. With their supplement, the overall strength will be qualitatively improved.
"
Chen Zekai said respectfully: "Okay, young master! When the time comes, I will also take this opportunity to ask the people from Wanlong Palace to help us cultivate more talents!"
