Chapter 607 The second encounter

When opening a store, it depends on the location. This is a truth that ordinary people know.

Also because ordinary people know that competition for all good locations is fierce.

On the surface of the city, the most prosperous city center is filled with high-rise buildings, which are battlegrounds for business groups.

In fact, there is another place that is full of fireworks and commercial value, and it is also a place where small businessmen and vendors compete.

When one old community is connected to another, and many old communities are concentrated in a certain area, there are residential buildings as far as the eye can see, with millions of people coming in and out all day long.

The road is not wide and is lined with green trees.

On the streets, there is a lot of traffic but not congestion, and there is a constant stream of people coming and going.

There are all kinds of shops nearby, including more than 1,000 restaurants and more than 300 supermarkets.

A hotel opened by Cheng Ye is located on one of the streets.

As for this street, there are eight old communities along the way, plus other old communities nearby, which is really profitable.

Even better, there is a subway station right on this street.

Therefore, whether you are at work or after get off work, day or night, you can see people walking past the store entrance all the time.

But compared to other hotels around, Cheng Ye does not operate a low-price model, nor does it provide simple accommodation and food.

He positioned his hotel to be able to host large gatherings, wedding banquets, children's full moon drinks, etc. The price was on the high side.

At the beginning, business was booming.

There are many communities, there are more people getting married, more people attending parties, and there is also a tourist development zone nearby.

Every day's income made him smile from ear to ear, and his hands cramped when counting money. He even once thought that he had a business talent.

But the good times did not last long, as more and more hotels of the same type opened around, and the number became outrageous.

Even though Cheng Ye knew he would face a situation like today, when he actually faced it, it made people want to swear.

That's right, the essence of so-called business competition is that if you open a store and it becomes popular, more stores will follow suit.

With such a successful model, which not only makes money from the surrounding old communities, but also makes money from tourists from out of town, more people will open hotels of the same type.

Okay, Cheng Ye endured it.

There are so many old communities around, so you don't have to worry about customers.

There are such good tourist attractions nearby, so you don’t have to worry about tourists.

As long as you make some adjustments, you can still operate and still make money.

However, the worse was yet to come.

I don’t know when it started, but fewer and fewer young people are getting married, and the divorce rate is getting higher and higher.

The wedding banquet and the full-moon wine were more than half less than before.

Plus, there are so many competing hotels of the same type around.

The turnover of Cheng Ye Hotel has been cut in half and then cut in half again. Alas, at the end of the year, even bonuses cannot be paid out.

He never dreamed that the good days would end so soon.

Now, it can only be supported by foreign tourists.

Didn't expect it, didn't expect it.

In this case, hotels increased instead of decreasing, and vicious competition began.

Alas, there is nothing we can do.

As long as there are popular tourist attractions here and as long as there are a steady stream of tourists here, people will continue to come and open stores, no matter how the market is already saturated.

In a word, let’s compete first and then talk.

As a result, Cheng Ye went from making huge profits before to operating at a loss now.

He was worried and sighing all day long.

If there is no transfer, this hotel will close within a year.

Some employees resigned because their year-end bonuses were wiped out and their income was low.

Even Cheng Ye's most valued lobby manager has moved to another company.

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Cheng Ye, who was once discouraged and even planned to close the business.

Sometimes, I sit in an empty office and watch people coming and going on the street outside.

It's obviously a lively scene, but why does it feel so quiet?

Three years ago I thought there was a lot of potential, but now it feels bleak.

Cheng Ye stared blankly outside the window, lamenting countless times in his heart.

I remember what my father said.

Sometimes, you have done nothing wrong, but when the times abandon you, they will not say hello to you.

Dong-dong-dong, several knocks on the door.

Cheng Ye was awakened, quickly turned his eyes, and asked: "Please come in?"

The office was pushed open, and a female employee walked in and said: "Boss, someone is here to interview the lobby manager. He is in the reception room now."

"Okay, I know!"

Cheng Ye calmed down his depressed mood, tidied his clothes, and then went.

Maybe this hotel is no longer viable, but at least it is my own effort.

Even if we really have to close the door, we should end it in a dignified way.

Therefore, a new lobby manager still needs to be recruited, so that the hotel's management cannot be disrupted and the guests staying there must not have a bad experience.

To prevent future guests from commenting online, this hotel deserves to go bankrupt.

When Cheng Ye opened the door to the reception room with a heavy heart, just one glance, just one glance, and that amazing feeling instantly cheered up his lifeless spirit.

"It's you!"

Cheng Ye recognized him at first sight. The woman sitting opposite him was the woman who had helped him by the lake last night.

Although it was a simple pair of jeans and a T-shirt with a leather jacket that could be seen all over the street, it gave off a different temperament when worn on her body.

She has long hair that is shawl-like and has a good figure.

She didn't have to do anything, just sit there and smile, with that calmness and confidence, it was as if the position was already hers.

The woman's eyes lit up and she seemed to recognize Cheng Ye.

But she didn't say anything, her lips seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

This expression immediately reminded Cheng Ye of the embarrassment last night and made his face feel a little hot.

In order to cover it up, he got into the mood, took his resume and asked: "Your name is Zhou Ruo, and you are here to interview as the lobby manager of our hotel."

"But looking at your previous work experience, it seems that you have only been an assistant manager."

Zhou Ruo nodded: "Yes, my last company did only have one assistant."

"But because my superior took maternity leave, he left many things to me to take care of, which also allowed me to accumulate a certain amount of experience."

"Moreover, my work has always been recognized by my leaders, and I can be promoted if I work for a while."

"So I believe I can do this job."

When Cheng Ye heard this, he felt that this woman was quite confident. Could it be that she really had two skills?

But no, we can't just accept it so easily.

Otherwise, it's weird, as if you are interested in someone's beauty and have some unreasonable desires.

While Cheng Ye was thinking about how to test Zhou Ruo, he started to have random thoughts again.

Damn it, I can encounter this. Could it be that this is the legendary fate and the arrangement of fate?

So what should I do? Accept it or not.

If you don't accept the fate arranged by God, there will be retribution.

Forget it, I'll accept it then.
