The Pentium Era - South to North

After the Spring Festival, Zhang Chen and his Banmutian Resort Hotel, like all hotels in Sanya, had very few guests staying in the hotel every day. There were as many as twenty rooms a day, and as few as only a dozen rooms, including five or six. The room was arranged by the base for those who came from the mainland to recuperate.

Half of the employees in the housekeeping and housekeeping departments were transferred by Cao Minfang to help in the nursery.

After going to work, environmental improvement in Sanya continued. The nursery business was very busy and there were not enough manpower.

Another thing that Cao Minfang didn't expect was that the business of their catering department was unexpectedly good, and it was full almost every day. There are many Hunanese in Hainan, and they know that there are authentic Hunan dishes here, which are from Haicheng and other places. People from Hunan who come to Sanya also come here to eat.

In addition, Lao Xie knew a lot of fellow Hunan people. He helped to promote Fatty Fu. Fatty Fu was already very famous in Changsha. Some people knew that Fatty Fu from Rongyuan Hotel was now at Ban Mu Tian Resort Hotel in Sanya. And here he comes.

Customers who have been here have tasted his "Zu'an Hunan cuisine" and Hunan-style seafood, and they think it is good. It is very unique in Sanya. They brought their friends here for the second time. Just relying on word of mouth, their business has grown. It's getting better and better, to the point where you won't get a seat if you don't make a reservation.

This made Cao Minfang relieved.

Although Zhang Chen had made peace with her and knew that running a hotel in Sanya would not make any money, it was normal to lose a little every month, so he asked her not to feel pressured, but Cao Minfang was not convinced. At Lao Xie's place in Haicheng, I just hang around every day. When I get to Sanya, of course I want to do something big. Where can I hang around again?

Now, relying on the business of the nursery and catering department, the economic benefits of the entire hotel should be better than other hotels in Sanya. Not only will there be no loss every month, but there will also be a slight surplus. Xiao Zhao can also see it from the report , told Zhang Chen, this made Zhang Chen feel a little surprised, but at the same time, of course he was very happy.

Cao Minfang knew very well that days like this would not last long, Sanya's environmental improvement would eventually come to an end, and the nursery business would not always be so good.

Moreover, seeing how profitable selling flowers and trees is, many people will follow suit, and the market will definitely be divided.

Cao Minfang feels that the catering department is almost saturated at present, and there are not many ways to think of it. She still has to think about how to increase the occupancy rate. This is their profit growth point. Another one is how to turn the nursery business from Now it's a bit of a surprise, and it's a long-term daily business.

At this time, Huijuan arrived, and Zhang Chen sent her to the Banmutian Resort Hotel in Sanya to study for a month.

Huijuan's arrival made Cao Minfang very happy. She felt that she finally had someone with whom she could discuss matters. Cao Minfang could not discuss matters related to the hotel's strategy with the supervisors below. Of course, she had her Xiao Jiujiu in her heart. I know that the reason why I can serve as the general manager is not because I am familiar with Zhang Chen.

The most important thing is Lao Xie's recommendation. Lao Xie's recommendation is equivalent to a guarantee of her character. The main reason why Zhang Chen chose her is because of peace of mind, not because of her management experience or business. Ability, Zhang Chen is already prepared to suffer losses anyway.

After all, Cao Minfang was a monk halfway through, and was actually an outsider in hotel management. For daily work, in addition to studying hard by herself, she still had to rely on the newly recruited supervisors.

Cao Minfang is not an idiot. She knows very well that the supervisors think she is an amateur. In fact, they look down on her a little. When she talks about things, she always has a sense of knowing what she says.

Therefore, Cao Minfang could not talk to them about these things, which would only increase their arrogance.

Cao Minfang had no way to discuss these matters with Fatty Fu. It wasn't that she couldn't, but that Fatty Fu didn't care about things other than the kitchen. Talking to him would be in vain. Cao Minfang was troubled by this.

Fortunately, Huijuan is here.

Cao Minfang knew that Huijuan was the general manager of a hotel under their company and would be in Hangzhou in the future. In terms of level, she and Cao Minfang were the same. When Cao Minfang told her these things, there was a feeling of equal communication.

In particular, Huijuan is only here to study for a short period of time. After finishing her studies, she will return to Hangzhou. There is no conflict of interest between the two of them. They can discuss everything with confidence and boldness. Moreover, Cao Minfang can see it. , he has no experience in hotel management, and Huijuan has none. Otherwise, Zhang Chen would not have sent her to Sanya to study.

If this is the case, then we can learn together and make progress together.

Cao Minfang added a table to her office to serve as a desk for Huijuan. Huijuan said, Mr. Cao, I am not here to sit in an office. I want to go to the kitchen to study every day.

Cao Minfang smiled and said, Mr. Xu, you can go to the catering department every day, but there is no need to stay there all the time. The environment there is too noisy and not suitable for studying. You must write down what you learn every day and keep a diary. Just write it here. Also, I haven’t been the general manager of the hotel for a long time. Mr. Xu, you are here. Let’s learn and grow together, okay? I need your help too.

Cao Minfang spoke sincerely, and Huijuan settled in her office.

When Huijuan arrived, Cao Minfang's first thing was, of course, to take her to visit various places in the hotel. Huijuan immediately discovered that the hotel and restaurant were doing very well, and she really came to the right place.

In addition, the restaurant here was very high-end. Huijuan felt that it was an eye-opener and kept praising her. Cao Minfang told her that all the decorations here were designed by Mr. Zhang himself. Don’t worry, your hotel in Hangzhou, Zhang It will definitely be designed to be more advanced than here.

Seeing that Huijuan didn't understand, she smiled and said, "Think about it, if Mr. Zhang has any important matters in the future and needs to treat guests, he will definitely put them in his own hotel. Why doesn't he design the hotel to be very high-end?" Otherwise, he himself would lose face.

When Huijuan heard this, she thought, yes, that was true. Brother Zhang often came to her place to treat guests. However, Huijuan knew that the people she invited to her place were all friends and business customers. He would not When I invite her, I usually go to the big hotels in the city, but my new hotel has opened. Mr. Cao is right, he will definitely put it in his hotel, and only fools will go outside.

Thinking about it this way, Huijuan was full of expectations for her future hotel.

Huijuan also discovered that the restaurant business in the hotel here was very good, but there were almost no people staying in the guest rooms. It was deserted. Cao Minfang sighed and said, yes, this is a common problem in Sanya hotels. When there is waterlogging, there will be waterlogging. Die, die of drought during the drought. There was no room during the Spring Festival days, and now there are no guests.

Huijuan said that she could imagine that on my plane from Hangzhou to Sanya this time, there were only eleven guests in total, six of them came for a meeting, and only five of them actually came to Sanya on their own.

Cao Minfang's eyes lit up, "A meeting?" Yes, to do conference affairs, if we can attract more conferences, there will be dozens or hundreds of people at least one conference, and they will stay for four or five days. If there are more conferences every month, the occupancy rate will not be guaranteed. Already?

This is a resort hotel, which is perfect for meetings.

But, where can I find so many meetings?

Cao Minfang immediately picked up the phone and called Xiao Ding. Xiao Ding often came to their hotel. Cao Minfang was already very familiar with him. Many businesses, whether it was hotels or nurseries, were introduced by Xiao Ding. Xiao Ding and Cao Minfang said, if I don't help more, Brother Tan will kick me to death next time he comes.

Cao Minfang smiled and said, you and Xiao Zheng seem to be afraid of Brother Tan?

"It's not fear, it's respect." Xiao Ding said, "Big brother saved us."

"Oh, is this happening?" Cao Minfang asked, "How to save me?"

Xiao Ding thought for a moment and said to Cao Minfang: "It doesn't matter. It has been so many years since it happened. Later, it also caused a sensation across the country. Both CCTV and "People's Daily" reported that Hainan dealt with a large number of people from the local area to the army. , I tell you now, it doesn’t matter much anymore.

"You must have heard about the car smuggling incident in Hainan from 1984 to early 1985, right?"

Cao Minfang nodded and said, "When we first arrived on the island, we heard someone say that several of our fellow villagers were also dealt with."

"Yes, the highest level. Starting from Lei Yu, the director of the Hainan Administrative Office, we have dealt with a large number of people. Our base has also dealt with many people. Brother Tan is one of them."

"Ah!" Cao Minfang was surprised.

Xiao Ding said: "Hainan was still a region of Guangdong at that time. It was very poor, and its finances depended on state subsidies. The country was also poor at that time and could not afford to support it, so it provided policies to make Hainan rich quickly and agreed that Hainan could import foreign goods for its own use. , these imported foreign goods come in without any tariffs.

"But as these things were being used, or before they had time to be used, foreign cars ran out of the island. From January 1984 to March 1985, Hainan approved the import of more than 89,000 cars, and more than 79,000 have arrived. More than 10,000 of them were resold outside the island, and one car could earn tens of thousands. It was so easy to make money that everyone came to resell cars.

"How crazy was it at that time? Eighty-eight of the ninety-four units directly under the Hainan Administrative Office participated in reselling cars, and even government kindergartens took the lead. In addition, Hainan also imported a large number of televisions, video recorders, motorcycles, etc. , and they were all resold to the mainland.

"The central government noticed this problem and immediately dispatched an investigation team. While investigating, it also closed the island. At all ports in Hainan, checkpoints directly under the responsibility of the central investigation team were set up. Cars and these items without tariffs were not allowed. After leaving the island, if there are people in the area, we will contact our base. If the goods cannot go out of the local port, we will use the port and landing craft of our base.

"At that time, many people in the base were involved in this matter, and Xiao Zheng and I were among them. Someone reported this matter to the central investigation team. The central leadership was furious and demanded that it be dealt with seriously. The craziest part is At that time, Brother Tan actually went back to the mainland to visit relatives and was not at the base. He didn't know about it at all.

"Brother Tan received a call from the base and rushed back. After understanding what happened, he knew the seriousness of the matter. If we were all sent back to the place, it would mean that there would be nothing. He took the initiative to take responsibility Regarding leadership responsibilities and requesting punishment, he said that we had asked him for instructions before doing these things, and he knew.

"The result is that we were all punished with a major demerit. This is already the lightest punishment. The eldest brother was beaten to the end and kicked out of the base. He got nothing. Otherwise, the eldest brother would not have started a decoration company. Press His level is more than enough to serve as county magistrate or mayor at the local level."

Cao Minfang nodded and understood. She said, "It means that Brother Tan sacrificed himself to save the future of all of you?"

"Yes, that's it. So the day brother left the base, the few of us decided that no matter what happened to brother in the future or whatever he told us, we must do it without any hesitation."

Cao Minfang called Xiao Ding and said to him: "Brother Ding, do you have time tonight? I'll treat you to dinner and discuss anything with you. By the way, Mr. Zhang sent a beautiful woman from Hangzhou to study together. eat."

"Okay." Xiao Ding laughed, "Two beauties and fine wine, I will definitely come."

Cao Minfang said angrily, she is, but I am not. What kind of beauty am I? I am an old woman.
