Chapter 1938 The Real Estate Struggle(1/2)
The little princess finally woke up when she was about to arrive at the pier. Although she and Li Cong were already married, sleeping next to Li Cong was a very luxurious thing for him. Li Cong was not unwilling, in fact
Even Li Cong doesn't have that kind of time. It can be said that the time the two mayors spend together is very little. The things the two people usually talk about a lot are not the emotional issues between the two people, but are either things here or things there.
, as if he had done everything under the sun but didn’t mind his own business.
"Little lazy boy, open your eyes and look here. This is the freight terminal and passenger terminal we recently invested in. Over there is the freight terminal, and the place we are walking here is the passenger terminal. At present, the large passenger terminal on the Red River has been opened.
Some shipping operations have been completed. Hundreds of cities in dozens of provinces along the Red River have our own docks. As long as we pay the minimum price, we can transport everyone there safely. Look, we will be there soon.
A passenger ship has set off, and it looks like there are quite a lot of people on it." Li Cong pointed to a large ship not far away and said, this is an all-wooden ship. If it were a wooden ship on earth, it would be
You can't install a motor, but everything is possible here. Maybe it's because the wood here is much stronger than on Earth. Even if there is a motor, there won't be any problems. At least it hasn't happened in such a long time.
Any questions.
The little princess opened her eyes and looked at a place not far ahead. There were two large merchant ships parked. The appearance of the two ships was basically the same, but one of them kept people walking over the bridge.
There were no people on the other boat, but the one with no people on it looked more luxurious from here.
"Why is there only one ship leaving? Isn't that one going?" The little princess didn't understand. He saw that there were already many people outside the merchant ship here, but there was nothing to arrange on the other side.
What do you mean by people boarding the ship, the ship won't leave? But if it doesn't leave, the people below will definitely not be able to fit on the ship.
"Haha. How could the guests of that boat leave just after they arrived? That is our yacht. Although there are many people down here, no one can get on that boat. Only the two of us belong to that boat.
Guests, as for the following people you mentioned, not all of them are taking this ship. There are also many who are waiting for the ship from the county to the east, and each ship has its origin.
"Some of them are passers-by, and the guests are all different, and we have made reasonable arrangements." Li Cong said with a smile. In fact, there are still big loopholes in the current ticket system. If there are people on earth,
That kind of connection would be great, but it's a pity that we don't have that kind of technology now, and we still have the same old problems. Even if we had those technologies, I guess no one here would use them. It would still become a pile of waste by then. If
In that case, it is better not to do it, and there is no need to risk causing trouble in the world.
When the little princess heard that the beautiful passenger ship belonged to her and Li Cong, her face started to heat up. How come this person didn't pay attention to what he said? You can say such things, you know that there are more than just people around here.
It's just the two of me. If everyone hears this, how can I see anyone? Looking around, I found that except for the few wooden guards, no one was looking here. Most of the people were
They are busy getting on the boat. Although they all have tickets in their hands, they may not all get on. After all, it depends on how many people are on the boat. If there is a place for them, they will naturally be allowed to get on.
, if you don’t have a seat, you can only wait until later. It’s just like those buses on the earth. Anyway, Li Cong is the one who makes the rules at this time, so he can do whatever he says. Those people don’t even know now.
What are your legal rights?
"Master, you are here. Everything is ready. The crew on the ship are all our own. Our ship is very different from ordinary passenger ships. You can't tell anything about it in appearance.
, but the interior is definitely different from that of a passenger ship. There are only fifteen bedrooms inside, and there is a large living room in the middle, so that Master, you can entertain some of your friends on it. We have also dismantled some different rooms on the deck.
Necessary things are best seen when sightseeing. We also hired some better cooks in the kitchen. The supplies on board can allow the ship to sail for fifteen days without supplies. Are you satisfied?
?" Gu Xin is responsible for doing this. Many people in charge think that Gu Xin does this not to lower his status, but to get a promotion. The young master can hand over the things he uses to Gu Xin.
To do it shows that you have absolute trust in this guy.
"Well, this preparation work is still very good. I will go up and experience it for myself later. This luxury liner will also be one of our projects in the future. I will be the first one to eat crabs. Let's take a look at you.
What is the service like? You have to tell the people below that their customers in the future will definitely be non-responsible people. I may be the first one they encounter and the best service they encounter.
Customers, if it were anyone else, I would probably not have such a good temper as me. When the time comes, I would ask them to be smarter one by one. No matter what the customers’ ideas are, they should be satisfied with whatever they can. Of course
There is no need to do things that endanger safety." As for the VIP service, the people on the ship probably don't have the brains yet, so Li Cong can only teach them bit by bit. Li Cong is not asking them to please those people.
The rich don't care whether they live or die. A boss like that won't last long, and his employees won't work for such a boss. If there is such a boss, they really "work their lives" instead of working. Many of them
The staff at Fugui Club are all like this.
"Master, I have also read all the training theories you gave them. So far, they are all OK. I have read them all very carefully, but in practice, there will still be some mistakes.
, we can only slowly rectify this matter from practice, what do you think?" Gu Xin said with a little embarrassment, in fact, Li Cong also knew this guy's difficulties, after all, these things were not in the past.
They have appeared on this planet, and it is already very good that they have the ability to do this.
"Haha, don't tell me what difficulties you have. I know you all have your own difficulties, but this project is a project that we must start. If it wasn't so difficult, I wouldn't let you come and take care of it yourself.
Well, my wife and I will go to the ship today to try out how your preparations have been over the past few months. Take a pen and paper, and I will ask you to correct some mistakes." Li Cong's words made Gu Xin excited.
His self-esteem was really hit hard. Why did he tell himself to make corrections before he even went up? Maybe he didn’t make a mistake. Of course Li Cong has his own self-confidence. How could there be no mistakes in the above? How many of them are there?
There are always mistakes. After all, none of this has ever happened before. Although there is already such a set of service rules in the Grand Hyatt Hotel, when it comes to the decoration of some ornaments and the like, this ancient heart does not have its own
Will play.
The little princess didn't have the time to wait for Li Cong. She quickly went up by herself. Everything up here was performed very well. This was the first time for the little princess to be so close on the Red River. Li Cong took command.
A few people followed closely and went to take a look at this luxury ship with Gu Xin. There seemed to be something missing on it. Something was missing from the beginning. Li Cong tried hard to think about those luxury cruise ships on the earth. By the way,
There is a lack of welcome here.
"Gu Xin, this is the place we came up from. You go and find me four, yes, four beautiful girls. Wear some cooler clothes and stand here as welcome guests. They are welcome.
People, as long as someone comes up, bow immediately and say welcome to the VIP ship of Cao Family Trading Company, yes. Just say that, and then lay out a red carpet here. Let’s see how you can be so cool in what you are wearing.
It's bare, it really doesn't feel like this." Li Cong pointed to the wooden deck and said, if this were on earth, it would definitely be natural. Many luxury cruise ships still look like this.
.But this is not the earth. All the ships here have wooden planks exposed. If this continues, no one will probably want to come here. If they are the same as ordinary passenger ships, what's the point?
What's fun?
"Also, on this deck, there must be a greeter at a distance of five meters. They must understand some basic conditions on the ship. If someone comes out to ask questions or something, they must greet them immediately.
Yes, any requests from guests must be resolved as soon as possible." Li Cong looked at the outside and said, adding those people, it shouldn't be as empty as it is now. As long as there are people, the remaining
things will be fine.
"Master, if there are so many people on this ship, I think our expenses will increase a lot." Gu Xin calculated and said, if according to what the master said, there will be at least hundreds of people on this ship.
"Increase in expenses? This is no problem. Just get it back from the guests. When I built the Grand Hyatt Hotel, many people told me that the expenses were too high, but now, no one will say it.
If a Grand Hyatt hotel is located in a provincial capital, its profit will exceed three million silver per day, and if it is located in a county town, it will also earn one million. Such income is not considered to be much." Li Cong said with a smile, how can you make money without spending money?
Well, the first thing a person who knows how to make money thinks about is how to spend money, so that the guests here feel that this is where they should spend their money. After they enjoy it for the first time, they will be even happier next time.
, they will continue to spend money here.
Gu Xin thought about it at this time. Many people were opposed to the young master's idea at the beginning, just like Dukang wine. Many people felt that the young master's original prediction was too good. They would never believe how a wine could be a
It brought hundreds of billions of silver in revenue to the Chamber of Commerce every month. When the results came out, it was really surprising. It was much higher than the good medicine the young master predicted. It has only been a few months.
Now, there are so many people clamoring to increase quotas in various places. Most dealers feel that the goods are not enough. Every time the goods have not been shipped, one by one has already started to rush to buy them.
"What kind of material is this door made of? Why does it look so ordinary to me?" Li Cong said when he was about to walk into the cabin. The door on this cabin seems to be the same thing as on the ordinary merchant ship over there. Why is this?
Yes, only one person can enter or exit.
"Master, this is the same as the one on the merchant ship over there. It is made of some luxurious nanmu. It is considered a good thing, but it is not an ordinary thing." Gu Xin quickly stood up and said, this thing is amazing
They are not ordinary things. I have been running around for a long time for these things. The price of a door is only two taels of silver, which is enough to feed an ordinary family for two months. This is considered luxurious enough.
Okay, and this door can also release water on the water.
"Remember one important point, as long as it is something that is on ordinary merchant ships, it is not allowed here. Even if the ordinary merchant ships are loaded with gold, then you have to give me silver here. You must let these rich people see that they are here.
Come to a different place from ordinary people. What is the enjoyment of aristocrats? We are here to provide such enjoyment. Only those with money can enjoy it. If you don't have money, then I'm sorry, you can only go to the ordinary passenger ship next to it.
This is what we are pursuing. This door was replaced immediately, and the material can still be this material. But I have to use silver for the edge, or use gold. There is no problem in increasing the cost. Calculate
Well, just go to gold, silver makes us look too immodest." Li Cong said, and Gu Xin quickly wrote it down. What on earth is going on in this young master's mind? Why can't he think of so many good things?
Well, people can imagine that there is a big gap between our brains and other people's brains.
After entering, Li Cong took a look at the guest room. This one was similar to the one in the Grand Hyatt Hotel, except that the guest rooms seemed a little smaller. Ordinary passenger ships would transport thousands of people, but this ship only transported a few dozen people.
There are only a hundred or ten people at most, so the space here is already very large, with three levels of guest rooms: large, medium and small.
"Just demolish the smallest guest room for me. There is no need to build three levels of guest rooms. All are of two levels. And prepare ten for the first level and two for the second level." Li
Cong said with a smile, Gu Xin probably couldn't guess what these rich people were thinking, but Li Cong knew it very well. People like them will want the best in everything. If they meet their friends
If so, even if they live in a smaller class, they will want to change to a larger one. They won't care about the small amount of money. All they care about is their own face. This is a boat for eating, drinking and having fun. They will definitely
They don't care about their little money. What they really care about is what others think of them. If others are in the first class and you are in the second class, what will others think of you? It doesn't matter whether you are under the boat or not.
No matter what your status is, you have already lost a lot on this ship.
Gu Xin had not thought of this before, but now after Li Cong said it, he suddenly understood that this is just like the guest rooms of the Grand Hyatt Hotel. The largest ones cost tens of thousands of silver a day, but they are full every day.
The minimum is a few hundred silver a day, and it seems that sometimes there is room. Basically, poor people will not go to such a place, but for the rich, if they go to ordinary guest rooms, it will definitely be temporary.
, that’s waiting to see if there are VIP rooms.
"And this living room, try to make it more splendid for me. What kind of tableware are these?" When he walked to the hall downstairs, Li Cong also saw that there were too many inappropriate places in these places. This Gu Xin's head was going to be big.
My dear, there are more than 30 inappropriate ones from the time we came in. What exactly does the young master want to transform this ship into? If it is completed according to the young master's idea, it will probably be...
Nothing is authentic anymore. The original cost of the entire ship was only more than 200,000 taels of silver. However, after the modification according to Li Cong's method, it is estimated that the cost will increase several times. I don't know if the cost can be paid by then.
Take it back.
"Master, this tableware is very expensive. They are all made of South China Sea jade, and each one is priceless." Gu Xin said, thinking that you can't say that this thing is not expensive enough, right?
A pair of bowls and chopsticks costs more than fifty taels of silver. It is unlikely that ordinary wealthy people will have access to such things.
"This has also been changed. Even I don't recognize this thing you made, and most people are even less likely to recognize it. Now it has been changed to gold. There is also this tabletop, which is made into a golden color, and this screen.
Also, our first batch of customers cannot be those who are too noble, because those people have to wait for a while before they come up to test the waters. Things like luxury goods started with the nouveau riche. What do they know?
To be continued...
