494,Windmill Resort Hotel(1/2)
Just after the New Year holiday, the flow of people in Jiangnan City suddenly increased.
As the population flows into the city, around the Lantern Festival, it is the busiest time for major stations.
Many shopping mall stores are ushering in the first wave of shopping after the new year.
Since Jiangnan City prohibits the discharge of fireworks and firecrackers, and during the Chinese New Year, the working group conducts strict inspections on major blocks.
Therefore, the air index in Jiangnan City during the Chinese New Year holiday has always been in a good state.
But it also lacks the strong flavor of the New Year...
Gu Chen didn't take much rest during the Spring Festival holiday. Instead, he saved up his vacation time and traveled to other places with his parents after the Lantern Festival.
Seeing that there was only the last day of the holiday left, when Gu Chen drove to Dahe Town on the outskirts of Jiangnan City, it was already 5:20 pm.
Now there are two choices before me. Continue to drive for more than an hour on the congested road, drive all the way home, and move the dinner time later.
Another option is to stay in Dahe Town, visit Dahe Town the next day, and then go home after lunch.
The family was surprisingly consistent in how they chose the question, and everyone chose the latter.
"Son." Xiao Xiaofang lowered the passenger window. While feeling the fresh air, she also admired the beautiful scenery of Dahe Town and said with a smile: "When the tourist resort project was first launched in this place, it was packed with people."
“Looking at it now, tsk tsk, it feels like it’s getting worse day by day, and it feels like not many tourists come here.”
"It's not vicious competition and customer robbing," Gu Chen said.
After all, many media in Jiangnan City have reported before that Dahe Town has accelerated the construction of tourist resort projects while taking advantage of its own scenic characteristics.
However, due to deviations in the implementation of the plan, in addition to the group resort projects, many natural villages in Dahe Town have also followed suit and launched their own resort plans.
For a time, more and more resorts were opened, and vicious competition and price wars indeed benefited many tourists at the time.
Therefore, for a considerable period of time in the past few years, Dahe Town was synonymous with tourism, vacation and leisure.
However, with the constant vicious competition and crazy profit sharing, although tourists have benefited, various problems have begun to be exposed.
Resort projects in various natural villages began to lose money, and many projects could not be implemented.
As a result, the tourism and vacation experience was poor, failing to meet the experience standards, and some projects were cut.
Later, group tourist resorts took advantage of their capital advantages to integrate many natural village tourist resort projects and began to form a partial monopoly.
Several companies specializing in resort projects have the right to speak, so resort prices have been rising, and many places have begun to put away tickets.
Although in the short term, the capital earned a lot of money, the subsequent tourist retreat also gradually occurred.
Coupled with the increasing number of various tourism experience projects in Jiangnan City in recent years, Dahe Town’s tourist resort resource advantage no longer exists.
Capital couldn't make money, so they began to withdraw their capital one after another.
Now in Dahe Town, various tourist resort projects have also been stranded, declining with the changes of the times.
Colorful farmhouse hotels originally built for tourism began to be rented out at very low prices due to the lack of tourists.
The reason why Xiao Xiaofang chose to come here was because it was a good value for money to travel to Dahe Town. You can experience an unusual experience for a small amount of money.
Gu Baichuan watched all the way, and finally called out at the door of a farmhouse hotel with several colorful windmills: "Son, let's just stay here, it looks good."
"It's up to you." Gu Chen doesn't care much about choices. As long as his father and mother like it, it's his choice.
So Gu Chen turned the car right and parked in the yard of a farm hotel.
This area is composed of eighteen independent windmills, each with a different color.
At first glance, the various color combinations give people a pleasing feeling. It is no wonder that Gu Baichuan was attracted to this hotel.
After getting off the bus, the three of them came to the tourist reception center, a larger windmill room.
The hall was empty at the moment. Gu Chen walked to the front desk and called twice, but no one answered.
At this time, Gu Chen discovered that there was a "Call me if you have any questions" sign hanging above the front desk, with the boss's contact number on it.
"Dad, I see there is no one here, are you sure you want to live here?" Gu Chen looked at Gu Baichuan looking around and couldn't help but ask him.
"Of course." Gu Baichuan walked to Gu Chen's side, put his right hand on his son's shoulder and said, "Looking along the way, I feel that the buildings here have some unique features."
“There are a little less people, but there’s nothing wrong with being quiet, right? I just like this kind of unique hotel.”
Looking at the sign on the table, Gu Baichuan suddenly smiled and said: "Isn't it because there is no one at the front desk? I can also see that the business is not very good. I can negotiate a good price later."
Also looking at Gu Baichuan's confident look, Xiao Xiaofang walked back and forth in the hall twice and asked: "Honey, how much do you think it costs to stay in a place like this for one night?"
"This..." Gu Baichuan looked out the window. Although the windmill houses here are small, they are all single-family houses. It is estimated that the houses are built in one house.
After looking at the various promotional posters posted on the wall, Gu Baichuan probably knew that a windmill house was probably designed to have two bedrooms and one living room, which could be enough for a family to live in.
However, since the price tag has long been removed, Gu Baichuan guessed: "A stay in such a windmill house for one night will probably cost more than a thousand, but now it seems that the business here is not very good. I estimate that it will cost seven to eight hundred."
Okay, even if it doesn’t work, I can probably agree to it for 600.”
"If six hundred can open a windmill house, it would be really cheap." When Xiao Xiaofang heard Gu Baichuan's answer, she suddenly felt like she had missed something.
However, looking at the pictures, the decoration is not bad. It is estimated that the 610-night windmill house is probably a dream, so Xiao Xiaofang did not take it seriously.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gu Chen said with a smile: "Then I will call the boss if you are sure to live in. Are you sure? Anyway, I will pay."
Gu Chen never had a chance to spend the money he made, so he wanted to honor his parents and spend the money he earned as soon as possible.
After Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang looked at each other, they both nodded.
"Then let's fight." Gu Baichuan said.
Xiao Xiaofang also smiled and said: "It's better to be filial when you have a son."
Under the various beeps from the two of them, Gu Chen turned a deaf ear and directly took out his phone and dialed the store owner's number according to the prompt sign on the desk at the front desk.
"Who are you?" Not long after, a pale and feeble voice came. Judging from the accent, Gu Chen could probably tell that she was an old lady in her sixties or seventies.
"Hello, it's..." Gu Chen looked up at the poster in the background, and then asked: "Is it the Windmill Resort Hotel?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" the old lady on the phone asked again.
Gu Chen was a little dumbfounded. He thought to himself, "You don't know anything about opening a store?" He felt a little curious, so he said again: "Let's stay in the store."
"Stay...stay in a hotel?" The old lady was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said after a moment: "Oh, wait for a few minutes, I will come right away."
"Okay." Gu Chen agreed readily and hung up the phone.
I followed my parents in the lobby of the tourist reception center of the Windmill Resort Hotel, walking back and forth to pass the time.
About five or six minutes later, a squeak of the brakes was heard at the door, and an old lady wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket parked the battery car and walked slowly into the hall.
After taking a look at Gu Chen's family, she walked directly to the front desk: "You are going to open a windmill house, right?"
"That's right." Gu Baichuan stepped forward first and asked, "How much does it cost to open a windmill?"
"Give it two hundred and five." The old lady said casually.
When they heard "two hundred and five", Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang were stunned for a moment, thinking they had heard it wrong.
Such a nice windmill house only costs two hundred and fifty a night?
Such a cheap suite is beyond imagination, isn't it?
Gu Baichuan couldn't believe it, so he asked again: "How much do you want?"
"Two hundred and five?" The old lady looked up and immediately felt something was wrong. Then she changed her words and said, "Oh, two hundred and five doesn't sound good, so I'll give you two hundred."
Gu Baichuan: "..."
Xiao Xiaofang: "..."
Two hundred and fifty becomes two hundred, the quotation is just like playing, is it so casual?
Both of them were secretly happy, saying that they had heard that the tourism industry in Dahe Town was sluggish and the prices were very low, but they never expected it to be so low.
Compared with a room in the urban area that costs hundreds of dollars, this kind of windmill suite is simply the conscience of the industry.
Living here, Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang feel as if they don't need money, and they feel so happy that they don't need money.
However, this kind of joy should not be shown too much, for fear that the actual suite would not meet this standard, so Gu Baichuan asked again with doubts: "Is this windmill room like the one on the poster on the wall? Isn't it different?
?After all, many hotels are all about pictures, and the reality is much different from the pictures.”
"It's the same." The old lady sat down on the chair and put her hands into the pockets of her cotton-padded jacket: "What it looks like in the picture is what's inside."
"That's good." After receiving the reply, Xiao Xiaofang looked at Gu Chen with satisfaction.
Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and prepared to pay: "Where is the payment code?"
"You mean the QR code?" the old lady asked.
Gu Chen nodded: "That's right."
"I can't play with that thing, you might as well pay cash." The old lady felt that it was a bit troublesome.
Gu Chen also smiled and took back his phone, took out his wallet and said, "Okay, I'll give you cash."
After handing over two pieces of Mao Zedong, Gu Chen asked again: "Don't you need any deposit?"
"Deposit?" The old lady was stunned, then patted her head and said, "Look at my memory, then you can give me whatever you want."
"Is it so casual?" Gu Chen felt that the old lady was a bit interesting, and even wondered whether she was in charge of the Windmill Hotel?
