In the blink of an eye, August has arrived, and Lao Tan has been in Ganqika for a month and a half.
The decoration of the guest rooms in the hotel on the third floor is nearing completion. Now all that is left is to install furniture and some small details, as well as cleaning. The equipment in the linen room is in place and is being installed and debugged in the past two days. The original plan was to pack up the guest rooms.
It was managed by Qi Tian, but Qi Tian Group did not think highly of this small place and refused to cooperate. I had no choice but to take care of it myself.
The supermarket was completed ten days ago. All kinds of products have been put on the shelves. A salesperson has been hired and the trial operation has been open for two days. The sales effect is as expected, not good at all. Only the security guards, workers and office staff from the park came.
Buy a few boxes of cigarettes, drinks, mineral water, milk and bread, but no outside customers.
Sister Yuan said it was okay. The main purpose was to build momentum and show outsiders that this was a market. There would be no benefits or even loss within two years. The main purpose was to lay the foundation for the future. Now is the pioneering period.
She does have a pioneering spirit, and rented out all the stores on the first floor in more than a month. There are sellers of agricultural machinery, seeds and fertilizers, hardware, two agricultural vehicle repairs, a building materials store, etc.
The reason why these merchants came here to open stores was because they saw the business opportunities in the future, and they didn't have to pay taxes for six months, and they were exempted from water and electricity for three months, and the rent was one-third of that on the street.
Overall, this is a place with a good location. It is in its early stages and has not yet developed. It is guarded by the national highway in front and has convenient transportation. There is a large industrial park in the back. Ganqika Town has shifted its development focus to the northern half in the past two years.
, many small township enterprises have also relocated to the south of the national highway and next to the copper factory, which is now an industrial zone.
We are also planning to move the morning market and night market here. We have already planned to build a farmer’s market on the west side of the industrial park during the Chinese New Year, and a vegetable planting base to the west of the farmer’s market. If everything goes according to the plan, there will be no more than two
In the next few years, this place will be a prosperous place with development potential.
The decoration of the hotel is relatively slow. The kitchen has just been installed, and there is no progress in the lobby and private rooms. The main reason is that the engineering team in the factory is not professional in this kind of meticulous and technical decoration and does not dare to do it easily.
Sister Yuan didn't say anything, just waiting for them to pretend.
The day before yesterday, Captain Wang of the engineering team had no choice but to go to the factory director Gao and said that the hotel could not be installed and that he had to find a professional decoration company.
Factory Director Gao approached Sister Yuan to discuss the matter. Sister Yuan said in a leisurely manner that it would be fine to find a decoration company, but the price would be expensive, which would exceed the budget. Besides, it might not be enough in time. Sister Yuan initially proposed the hotel at the meeting.
I went to a decoration company to install it, but the factory director Gao stopped me and said that the factory's engineering team could do it.
Sister Yuan didn't say anything. She knew it wouldn't work, but she was the director of the factory. It would be a bad idea to just say no without giving it a try. It was as if she insisted on finding an outside decoration company to do it so that she could get kickbacks from it. Now the engineering team itself said it couldn't do it.
It's a matter of course to find a decoration company.
Factory Director Gao said that the budget can be increased, as long as it is completed by the end of September and can open normally. So Sister Yuan started to contact the decoration company in the provincial capital, and it had to be professional. Three days after they came, they came up with the renderings, and Sister Yuan and
After seeing it, Director Gao expressed his satisfaction and then started to decorate.
Sister Yuan is rarely around, leaving the entire decoration matter to Lao Tan. In her words, if I don’t understand, I won’t participate, and I won’t point fingers. I just see the results in the end. Her tasks are to spend money, communicate with leaders, and merchants.
Build relationships and build good relationships with the competent authorities and leaders at all levels in the town, banner, and city through social means to pave the way for the development of the industrial park.
Lao Tan was in charge of the site and worked together with Captain Wang of the engineering team. They had a good relationship. They had a few drinks together every now and then and ate at several famous restaurants in the street. He was very familiar with the local eating habits and culture.
Have a general understanding.
The Kamong people and the Han people in Gan Banner are half and half, and they have integrated with each other in terms of diet. The Mongolian people can eat pork stewed with vermicelli, and the Han people can also eat mutton and drink milk tea, and it has become a habit. Intermarriage between Mongolian and Han people is normal.
Phenomenon, the man is usually Han and the woman is Mongolian. On the dining table at home, there is pickled cabbage with white meat and milk tea with milk skin.
When people go to a restaurant to eat, they often order a pound of hand-grilled meat, and then order a few home-style stir-fries, half a pound of dumplings or a few bowls of buckwheat noodles. The wine they drink is Zhalantun Erguotou, as well as Mongolian King and Prairie White, most of which are
Produced by Tongliao Winery, the alcohol content is between 38 and 45 degrees, and the alcohol is not strong. The Mongolian people love to drink, but they don’t like high-alcohol wines like Beijing Red Star Erguotou. They like to drink wine from local small wineries.

To the south of the national highway is the Jinxing Copper Factory, and to the north is the industrial park. The main person in charge of the factory area and the industrial park is Director Gao. Under Director Gao there is Director Fang, who is in charge of production, and Director Zhang, who is in charge of the industrial park.
The copper factory was built in 2005 and has been in normal production for three years now. The industrial park project was approved in 1996, groundbreaking in 1998, and completed in January this year. When building the industrial park, the main factory planned to ask Sister Yuan to take charge, and Sister Yuan
My health was not good, I had been in a car accident and injured my waist, and I felt that I was getting older. I didn't want to worry about it anymore, so I was planning to retire early and rest at home, so I gave it up.
Director Zhang used to be the publicity officer at the main factory and was somewhat related to the vice president. The vice president saw that there was a shortage of person in charge in the industrial park and recommended him.
The external investment promotion of the industrial park, the decoration and preparation of hotels, and the leasing of store rooms are all under the control of Director Zhang. The group plans to open on May Day, but Director Zhang is a publicity major, and investment promotion and preparation are not his strong points.
There was still no progress, so the group called Sister Yuan over.
After Sister Yuan came over, she took over the preparation and operation of the hotel, as well as the leasing of the store rooms. Director Zhang felt that it was a bit embarrassing, so he was naturally unhappy. He was directly in charge of the industrial park and had the power in his hands, so he was somewhat uncooperative in the large-scale construction of the hotel.
Negative, always giving various excuses.
Sister Yuan didn't want to have a conflict with him. After all, she was here to help. She was here to open up the land. After she straightened everything out, she had to go back to the group. She couldn't even stay here for a year and couldn't offend anyone. She would call him Lao Tan for everything.
Come forward.
Lao Tan didn't care about that and was not used to his faults. One time, he and Director Zhang became confused about water, and a physical conflict broke out.
Afterwards, Lao Tan went to Factory Director Gao directly without going through Sister Yuan. Factory Manager Gao mediated and settled the matter. After that, Director Zhang became polite to Lao Tan - mainly because the two security guards and him had not beaten Lao Tan that day.
Tan.
Afterwards, Sister Yuan found out and told Lao Tan that this was the way it was to be done outside. As long as there was no trouble, she would cover the whole situation. Having said that, it was best not to fight. If someone accidentally got hurt, no one would be covered.
If you don't get to the bottom of it, you will be the one who goes to jail.
In addition to getting along well with a few leaders, he also got along well with the merchants who rented the space. He took care of the water and electricity issues, especially when the merchants were renovating their storefronts. He called engineering work on water and electricity.
The team provides help and care.
These merchants have a close relationship with Bart, the owner who sells seeds and fertilizers, and the two always drink together.
Batt is a Mongolian, generous and generous, a typical Mongolian man. Lao Tan is slightly fat and tall, with a bald head and a bloodshot face unique to the Mongolian people. He is generous and neat in doing things. Bat initially identified him as a Mongolian, because of his personality and temperament
They were similar, they both loved drinking, and they quickly became friends.
Bart's wife is also a Mongolian, and she runs a former seed and fertilizer store on the street. She comes here every now and then to have a look, and sometimes makes hand-meat in the store. Whenever Bart's wife makes hand-meat, Bart will tell Lao
Tan called over and the two of them had a lively meal.
After the hotel started to be renovated, Lao Tan began to recruit people. Room attendants, housekeepers, cashiers, linens, hotel waiters, foremen, managers, waiters, kitchen staff, etc.
He thought it would be easy to recruit workers here, but after posting the recruitment advertisement, he found out that was not the case. No one came here to look at it, so where could he recruit people?
Bart looked at the big advertisement he had put up and said, "Brother, if you can't recruit people like this, who will come here?"
Lao Tan asked in embarrassment: "How about fixing it?"
"Take off the advertisement and give it to me. I'll take it to the door of the store on my street and hang it up. There are so many people there who are looking at it, but no one comes when you hang it up."
So Lao Tan took off the advertising cloth and gave it to Bart, who took it to the door of the store in the street and hung it up, and then people came to apply for the job one after another.
Considering that there will not be too many guests after the opening of this place, it will mainly be internal reception and not too many people will be hired. The hotel is hiring two housewives, a waiter, a cashier, and a linen worker. The hotel is planning to recruit two more
There are a home cooking chef and a Mongolian chef, a cold dish, a pasta, plus chopping boards, washing dishes, and picking vegetables, a total of fifteen people. There is a manager at the front desk, a bar counter, a foreman, five waiters, and two
There is a waiter, a cleaner and a person who washes small items.
Sister Yuan said that when the business is opened, the group leaders, town leaders, banner and city leaders will all come over. It must be done well in the first month of business, and the leaders cannot be asked to find faults.
Lao Tan knows what Sister Yuan means by "being well". You must eat well, drink well, and live well. As for having a good time, it doesn't count. No leader will need to play well here. Their play is done quietly.
.
Needless to say about the place to stay, it is such an environment, the guest room conditions have been finalized, more than the above, more than the below, the leaders will not pick anything, the rest is to eat and drink well.
Sister Yuan said that the top leaders of the group like to eat seafood, especially the naked body. This needs to be studied carefully. There is no seafood sold in Ganqika, but only crucian carp and carp raised in reservoirs and fish ponds.
Grass carp, and some loaches in the wild. The fish in the sea are all fresh, with hairtail being the majority, followed by small yellow croaker, king fish and mirror fish.
There are two stalls selling frozen seafood in the farmer's market, all of which are chilled. There are sea shrimps, cut crabs, squids, cuttlefish, ice shrimps, scallops, clams, etc., but there are no fresh ones at all.
None of the restaurants on the street sell fresh seafood, not even the largest Haoxiang Hotel. The fish tanks in front are filled with crucian carp, carp, grass carp, and river crabs. All seafood dishes on the menu are made with
There are chilled seafood, such as "spicy shrimp", "teppanyaki squid", "teppanyaki three delicacies", "soft fried shrimp", etc. There are no live seafood at all.
Lao Tan set his sights on the buses that ran twice a day from the provincial capital to Tongliao on the national highway. He negotiated with them first and agreed to pay the normal freight for bringing seafood from the provincial capital. The bus driver readily agreed, because the buses were all
It's a private contract. Who wouldn't want to do it if you can earn freight without having to hire anyone?
Then I contacted the boss of the seafood shop in the provincial capital and asked them to prepare the seafood I wanted in advance. The next day, I sent it to the long-distance bus station and handed it over to the bus driver. The bus driver brought it back directly when he returned. There were three in total.
It's an hour's journey, and fresh seafood can survive for eight hours after being injected with oxygen, so there's no problem at all.
After the supply problem was solved, we started to solve the in-store breeding problem. Two sets of seafood tanks were added to the fish tank in front of the hotel, specifically for raising seafood. We also designed a shellfish tank to raise some small seafood: flower clams, hairy clams, clams, and scallops.
, red shells and the like, this is also the first of its kind in Ganqika.
When renovating the lobby on the first floor, Lao Tan asked to add a stage. Sister Yuan didn't understand what he meant at first, but she suddenly realized it after Lao Tan finished speaking.
The hall is not big, it can hold twenty tables, and it can accommodate 200 people for dining at the same time. If it is used as a conference venue, it can accommodate 400 people. Lao Tan sees the future commercial value of the hall from the perspective of a caterer.
This is a multi-functional banquet hall. During normal business hours, the dining areas are separated by screens. When there are banquets, the screens can be removed to accommodate reception.
The stage design has more functions. It can not only host weddings, but also be used as a podium for training. It can also be used as a rostrum during meetings. In this way, it can receive different banquets and make money.
He inspected several large hotels in the street, all of which have banquet halls. However, the decoration design of each banquet hall is very simple. Although there is a stage, there is no LD large screen, and the sound equipment is not perfect. There is only a microphone for speaking.
, the background is usually a piece of red silk cloth with colorful balloons hanging on it. Then a red banner is hung with the theme of the party written on it.
The decoration style is still stuck in the mid-1990s.
Designing the lobby here in a modern style will give people a refreshing feeling, which is far better than the restaurants in the street. It will increase a lot of income - individual tourists may be reluctant to come, but they want to find a hotel when booking a banquet.
A decent hotel wants to be well-organized, both in terms of venue and food, so as not to lose face, so you don't mind walking an extra two miles, and the parking lot here is large enough and spacious, so you can park anywhere you like.
There is a decent hall that can host many wedding banquets, conferences, and birthday banquets.
And there is a guest room above the hotel. The wedding is held here and the family can live directly in the guest room, which is not only convenient but also convenient. In addition, it is quiet here and no one will disturb it, so it is suitable for meetings. If you have a meeting here, you can't just leave after the meeting, no matter what.
Have a meal. If you can't finish the trip in one day and still have a place to stay, you can stay here and continue the trip the next day without delaying things.
Since retail sales cannot open up business, you can make a fuss about banquets and group meals, which is also a way to make money.
Sister Yuan happily accepted Lao Tan's suggestion and said with emotion that Lao Tan was her lucky star. With him, she could get twice the result with half the effort.
Here we briefly introduce Sister Yuan.
Sister Yuan, Yuan Guifang, is a child from an ordinary working-class family in the provincial capital. She was smart since she was a child, loves to talk and dance, and has a good voice. When she grew up, she was admitted to the provincial capital art school. After graduation, she stayed at home for two years and found a job in the non-ferrous industry.
A man who worked as a salesperson in a metal factory got married and started a family. His father was the director of a non-ferrous metal factory, and she successfully entered the factory to work in the publicity department.
Later, the metal factory merged with Venus Copper. By that time, her father-in-law had retired, and her husband was well-known and well-established in sales. He opened a small company of his own and had a wife, so the two divorced.
Because of her outstanding appearance, eloquence, singing and dancing, she was quickly transferred from the publicity department to the marketing department of the new company, specifically responsible for development and external cooperation. She gave full play to her advantages and achieved outstanding results. Of course, she was also criticized.
She is a beautiful woman after all.
When she was forty years old, she went on a field trip with her group leaders and accidentally got into a car accident. Her waist was damaged and she was paralyzed in bed for half a year. People thought she would never stand up again, but they didn't expect her to gradually recover and return to her previous appearance.
After the divorce, the child was brought up by her. It was not easy for a woman to raise a child. Fortunately, she got through it and the child was very successful. He was admitted to a good university and graduated in another year.
Now that she has retired with success, she has no worries. Taking over the industrial park this time is a feedback to the company. After all, the group has treated her well. After working hard for more than 20 years, she has a house, a car, a deposit, no worries about food and clothing, and her children are still alive.
