Best Son-in-law

"Don't be like this, I can't bear it." Of course Zhou Xiaoman was happy when she heard Li Fan praise her like this, but such solemnity made her look a little unnatural.

"Sister Xiaoman, don't be humble, it's all up to you." Li Fan praised again.

"Okay, stop praising me and get down to business. It's a good thing to build a hotel in the village. Didn't you say there was no urgency before? Why are you so anxious again? Didn't you clean up a lot of houses in the village? What? It's not efficient. Okay?" Zhou Xiaoman said seriously.

"How can it be good? The environment is really not good. Unless some tourists who are on a budget may find it a good deal, anyone who has some requirements will not want to come to our place. How can this benefit be good? The key is that it cannot satisfy these tourists. I'm afraid they will be disappointed and leave." Li Fan couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.

"Now the hotel has started to be built very quickly. It will take at least half a year to complete, decorate, connect water and electricity, buy furniture, and buy electrical appliances. Half a year has passed, and most of the dividends from this trip may have been gone, so time If you can't delay, let's discuss it today, settle the matter, sign the contract directly, and start construction tomorrow." Li Fan has always been vigorous and resolute.

"You are too crazy. If you decide today, you will start construction tomorrow." Zhou Xiaoman couldn't help but smile.

"I'm not kidding you, Sister Xiaoman, we have to be so fast. We can't make ink marks, otherwise something will happen." Li Fan said seriously: "Besides, if we don't care about guest satisfaction now, if the hotel is completed Now that some guests have checked in, they will inevitably stay in our village for more time. The economic benefits created by these time are immeasurable, so the hotel is very necessary, and the sooner the better."

Li Fan's expression was extremely serious. Seeing this expression, Zhou Xiaoman also became serious.

"You're right, so what's the problem with building a hotel? Do you want to ask me?"

"It's about the location of the hotel and some of the hotel's style. Is it mid-to-high-end or something like that? What's the appropriate size of the hotel? I don't know much about these." Li Fan asked humbly.

"High-end hotels are definitely not acceptable. They are unnecessary. They are expensive and affect the consumption of other items. Some guests bring so much money and they just want to stay in a comfortable hotel with a good environment. You have to give them so many bells and whistles." It’s useless, people don’t need those at all, they just need affordable prices, a good environment, and comfortable living.”

"As for the site selection, build it close to the mountain, closer to the back mountain. The back mountain is close to the ordinary hotel. Just take a road in the middle to make it easy for them to enter the mountain. This can drive consumption. Tour guides or other projects that have emerged in the village will Good, and the air in the mountains is fresh. As for relying on Laoshan Lake, it is also an option. However, Laoshan Lake will be converted into a fish pond in the future. If it is built next to Laoshan Lake, it will have an impact. Moreover, it is cold in winter and the wind is strong, so it may not be possible. It's a good thing, but some villa areas can be reserved for building high-end hotels. In winter, it's okay to install heating and other things. Moreover, Laoshan Lake is frozen in winter, so you can also engage in some projects such as skating and skiing, but That’s all for later.”

"The most important thing about a hotel is to meet the needs of guests. Everything else is secondary. You must understand this clearly. The size of the hotel depends on the funds. You can't be in a hurry. It is difficult for this hotel to fully meet the needs of guests. , on the contrary, the key is that the road is opened, because it makes traveling more convenient. The road from the town to the village now takes at least half an hour to walk. If the road is opened, it will take less than ten minutes, and there is no need to go around. , and several direct roads can be built. If the funds are sufficient, these are all possible, but roads are the key."

"Of course, you are right that hotels drive consumption, so hotels are also necessary. However, it is not as urgent as it is imminent. And with enough funds, we can arrange them one after another. We can build more hotels and make profits together, mid-range, low-end and high-end Everything is available.”

"As for the question of style, Li Fan, don't you have the answer in your own mind?" Zhou Xiaoman said with a slight smile in his eyes as he took a sip of porridge.

"Sister Xiaoman, you are really amazing. We really asked the right person." Li Fan and Xia Menglan couldn't help but applaud her.

"Why are you talking about those useless things? I have been in the catering industry for so many years. I also wanted to work in the hotel industry before, but there was no way. The transition was too difficult, and the land in Hongdan County was expensive and I couldn't afford it. , I studied a lot of Taoism at that time, but I felt it was inappropriate." Zhou Xiaoman shook his head and smiled.

"I have thought of a style, but I don't know if it is feasible. Sister Xiaoman, please help me analyze it." Li Fan looked at Zhou Xiaoman and said.

"Actually, it's just those styles, Chinese style, European style, or Jiangnan town style. Do you want to build a Jiangnan town style? That's fine. It also fits the characteristics of the village. There's no problem with that. It's okay. Build it." Zhou Xiaoman said casually.

This sentence really spoke to Li Fan's heart.

"I'm just confused. If the building is built in a European style, for example, will it deviate from the theme? What we are creating is the original form of a mountain village, the form of a small village in the south of the Yangtze River, and the state of slow life. I am afraid of this." Li Fan expressed his concerns.

"Actually, you don't need to think so much. The first thing guests want when they come to stay is to rest, sleep, and relax. As for the slow life you mentioned and the theme of the village, don't put the cart before the horse."

"The most important thing for guests is to rest. This is the key. This is what your hotel should satisfy. Nothing else. Chinese style, European style, Jiangnan small town, or what you call a slow life hotel. It’s the icing on the cake, and the hotel doesn’t have to operate these things.”

"Why? Because tourists can enjoy the original slow life in the village, which already satisfies them. If they are not satisfied, you can build an icing on the cake, but there is no need to build a so-called slow life style hotel. , this is actually harmful rather than beneficial, because why? Because it will cause visual fatigue, guests can't always get out of the slow life, right? I don't need to say more about whether monotonous black and white or color is better? "

"There is no need for icing on the cake. The first one you build now should not be a small town in the south of the Yangtze River with a slow life style, but a comfortable and formal one. A mid-range hotel should be affordable. Others Don’t think about it, don’t think about it being incompatible with Laoshantun. One hotel can’t affect the entire Laoshantun.”

"In the future, you can develop slowly and build a Jiangnan town based on your needs, with a slow lifestyle, and then build a Chinese-style hotel or a completely Western European-style hotel. That's absolutely fine. You can even build a love hotel. It is possible to satisfy some young couples, as well as so-called villa hotels and high-end hotels to meet the vacation needs of high-income people, but that will be the icing on the cake in the future, not necessary."

"In the end, it's the same sentence. You have to stay in a hotel. Don't put the cart before the horse. Everything else is just to add to the fun. Living comfortably, comfortable, clean, bright and convenient is better than anything else. Do I understand?" Zhou Xiaoman smiled. said.

This time Li Fan really suddenly realized it. He stared wide-eyed and grabbed Zhou Xiaoman's hand.

"What are you doing? You want to confess to me?" Zhou Xiaoman couldn't help but joked.

"Really, Sister Xiaoman, you are too strong. I have been involved in it before. I was so worried that I couldn't do it. You just said a few words and I suddenly understood." Li Fan said excitedly.

"It's not that I'm strong, it's that you think too much and worry too much. Some things are not that complicated, so you just want to keep it simple. Is there any problem with the hotel now?" Zhou Xiaoman took another sip of porridge to calm him down. .

"It's no problem." Li Fan felt very happy now, and he suddenly felt that he had some direction.

"What about the second thing?" Zhou Xiaoman asked.

"This matter has something to do with Pingfan Restaurant. I have come up with another ingredient." Li Fan said with a smile.

"Water snake?" Zhou Xiaoman had already guessed it.

"Yes, Sister Xiaoman, you are very well-informed." Li Fan said in surprise. It was the first time he discovered that Zhou Xiaoman was so powerful.

"Tch, what happened to you, Wang Erxi told me later. I have been in the catering industry for so many years, and intelligence work is always my first priority. What can you hide from me?" Zhou Xiaoman curled his lips and said.

"Have you finished experimenting with the water snake dish? Can it be served to the table?" Finally, Zhou Xiaoman couldn't help but ask.

Adding dishes to ordinary restaurants is not a trivial matter. It can definitely cause a series of chain reactions and have a great impact on ordinary restaurants.

So Zhou Xiaoman was very concerned about this, and she had been waiting for Li Fan's response.

"What do you think? Aren't you very well-informed?" Li Fan deliberately joked.

"I guess you must have succeeded in the experiment, otherwise you wouldn't have told me about it. If the experiment was not successful, you would have just given up." Zhou Xiaoman guessed.

"It's really amazing." Li Fan couldn't help but give Zhou Xiaoman a thumbs up: "How about it, Sister Xiaoman, you can try it today. I'll grab one and make it for you."

"Okay, no problem." Zhou Xiaoman nodded and said.

So, Li Fan went to the fish pond to catch a few fish, and then worked in the kitchen for a while.

A dish of water snake meat came out, stewed by Li Fan.

After the food was served on the table, Zhou Xiaoman picked up his chopsticks and ate it.

"What? Aren't you afraid of the poison?" Li Fan asked with a smile.

"What are you afraid of? I fainted and you treated me. Aren't you a doctor? Besides, the ordinary restaurant relies on my hard work. How many things have been saved for you, are you willing to let me die?" Zhou Xiaoman Not afraid of Tao at all.

Li Fan heard this and smiled: "This water snake is not poisonous."

"I think so, um, it's really delicious. Why is it so delicious? It's just as good as eel meat, and the styles of the two dishes are different. Okay, ok, it's a new dish." After eating, Zhou Xiaoman couldn't help but praise. .

The taste of water snake meat was also beyond her expectation. She had no idea it would be so delicious.
