Chapter 3041 Picking Peaches
Feng Yiping was surrounded by Owen and the others and walked towards the room. With the relaxed mood that he had stolen for at least an hour because he left early, he compared the hotel where he often stayed in India with his own Hilton. Here are the pros and cons of hotels in Mumbai.
As a result, it somewhat affected his good mood.
Hilton's development in India is quite unsatisfactory. In Mumbai, there is currently only one seedling. If India's elites are good at thinking, they may be able to realize the gap between them and us from this point.
Compared with Hilton's single project in Mumbai and Tata's Taj Mahal Hotel, there is really a very obvious gap in terms of software and hardware.
As a representative of luxury hotels in India, the Taj Mahal Hotel, built at the beginning of the last century, combines northern Indian Rajput style, French Moorish style, European Florence and British Edwardian styles. At first glance, you will subconsciously think that this is a palace.
The facilities inside are also extremely luxurious and the decoration is magnificent. Needless to say, the founder of the Tata Group also had some grudges when he built this hotel. As I said before, he was already a successful person because he was a successful person. Indian, but was rejected by the hotel opened by the British colonialists in Bombay, so he was determined to build the most luxurious hotel in India.
For this reason, after the hotel was built, some art treasures were collected and displayed in it to further improve the quality.
It is located in the southeast corner of Mumbai, adjacent to the Arabian Sea. All rooms have unparalleled sea views, and it is next to India Gate and other well-known historical buildings and attractions in India.
It is located next to Mumbai Airport. The appearance is not particularly outstanding, and the decoration is just the standard of a Hilton hotel of ordinary luxury hotels. Really, it cannot compare with it in every aspect.
The only thing that can be compared is probably the service attitude of the employees, and this is mainly because the two hotels employ a large number of Indian employees.
Lao Ma, who has just arrived in Mumbai, has been keenly aware of the characteristics of the Indian employees in these high-end hotels. These Indian employees are not just serving guests, to be precise, they are waiting on you.
This does not mean anything condescending, it is just the fact that the caste system, which still has a huge influence in India, has really cultivated many rare talents for India's service industry...
Therefore, Feng Yiping looked at this hotel represented by Tata's luxury hotels and seriously thought about whether to spend a lot of money to build another equally luxurious hotel in Mumbai, or to try to give Taj Hotels to the resort group. Received?
Thinking about the hotels that Taj Hotels Group operates in some well-known tourist cities in India, which were originally transformed from real palaces, he is a little enthusiastic.
However, there seems to be no chance at the moment.
Under the leadership of Ratan Tata, who is unwilling to retire, the Tata Group has developed really well in recent years.
Can opportunities be created?
The door opened from the inside, and Malika rushed out with a burst of fragrant wind. "Hey," Feng Yiping smiled and hugged her.
He found that Marika seemed not only happy that he came to India again, but there seemed to be something else in her shining eyes.
"Come in," Marika held his arm and walked inside.
"Is something wrong?" Feng Yiping kissed her hair.
Marika happily hugged his waist, "I have..."
"Oh, I'm sorry," Feng Yiping looked at the vibrating phone, "I have to answer this call."
"I'll wait for you," Marika let go of him, watched Feng Yiping walk to the balcony, and then returned to the table in the hall.
There was a computer and several open folders on the table. It was obvious that while she was waiting for Feng Yiping, she was also working.
But now, she didn't bother to take any of these glances, and kept looking at Feng Yiping with a look of uncontrollable excitement.
"Hi Buchanan," Feng Yiping was a little surprised that Buchanan called again. Didn't they just talk to each other not long ago?
"Von," Buchanan's voice sounded a little deep, "I just finished dinner with Mr. President,"
Combining what happened a while ago and Buchanan's tone, Feng Yiping knew that this was probably about something. "Is it asking the Small Business Bureau to do more?"
He knows that in an election year like this, O'Hei will definitely hope that his team can achieve more results, and Buchanan's Small Business Bureau can really think of a way.
Because that guy knew who was behind Buchanan, or behind the Small Business Administration.
In this regard, it is not impossible to consider paving the way for Buchanan.
"There was no talk about that today," Buchanan said.
At a time like this, you invite us to have dinner together but don’t talk about work? Is it out of consideration for repairing the relationship?
"Von, you have no idea what he talked to me about," Buchanan said.
When he said this, Feng Yiping really couldn't guess that it wasn't possible to talk about work. Xiao O'Hei invited Buchanan over just to talk about beers and beauties.
Not to mention whether he had this leisurely mood during the election year, the hostess Michelle also specified that they would not let them talk about it.
"He came to me to talk about the campaign," Buchanan said. He knew he couldn't keep Feng Yiping guessing for too long.
"So this is what we were talking about,"
But campaigning isn’t work?
Oh, I misunderstood. Buchanan did not say that he was not talking about work, but that he was not talking about the Small Business Administration.
"He wants you to contribute more to his campaign?" Feng Yiping asked.
Because Buchanan already has the support of many people, there is nothing he can't understand if O'Hei works hard to win over him.
"Yes," Buchanan said, "but," he paused, "he asked me if I would be interested in being his deputy?"
Sometimes her fingers were crossed, sometimes her palms were clasped together, and she couldn't sit still. Marika, who was walking around the table, saw Feng Yiping sitting down with a big mouth.
How could something surprise him?
Feng Yiping was really surprised.
O'Hei actually wants Buchanan to serve as his deputy in his second term?
If this can happen, then among the series of changes he has brought about, this will definitely be one of the ones with the greatest impact.
It’s just his deputy!
Although this role seems to have a high status, in fact, it is really nothing - a vice president with a lot of real power like Cheney is a very unlikely exception.
The vast majority of vice presidents are just mascots, or mascots with little sense of existence, which means they receive relatively more attention during the campaign.
It is said that at the beginning of the founding of the United States, representatives from each state argued for 116 days over issues such as how to elect the president and how many congressmen each state would establish. However, it took less than a day to discuss the establishment and powers of the vice president.
John Adams, the first Vice President of the United States, complained to his wife, "Vice president is the most irrelevant job in the world."
Because, he cannot even participate in many cabinet meetings.
When his boss, the founding president George Washington, held the first cabinet meeting with his ministers, Adams excitedly wanted to participate, but to his surprise, he was politely turned away - you are not qualified.
Another famous self-deprecation came from Thomas Marshall, the 28th Vice President. He said: Once upon a time, there were two brothers. One ran away from home and became a sailor, and the other became the Vice President of the United States. From then on, people never met again. I've heard about both of them...
This is really no joke. From the founding of the United States in 1776 to the present, the United States has gone through 236 years, and there have been 37 years and 290 days without a vice president...
To be honest, this kind of position is not what Feng Yiping likes.
But he did not immediately express his opinion, "Buchanan, congratulations, this fully illustrates your success,"
He was a supporter and pavement for Buchanan who was interested in politics, but it was difficult for him to make decisions for him on such issues. After all, fundamentally speaking, this was Buchanan's own business.
If you make decisions for him because you are Buchanan's supporter, or in layman's terms, Buchanan's backer, then even if Buchanan really comes to the end according to his vision and plan, That's not necessarily a good thing.
It is very possible that that is setting up the most powerful opponent for oneself.
The person who sits in that position never wants anyone to make decisions for him. Therefore, it is impossible to say that the first thing he does after he succeeds is to do everything possible to remove the backer behind him.
"I declined his offer," Buchanan said directly this time without being too subtle.
Buchanan, who was interested in politics and whose dream was ignited by Feng Yiping, had a deeper understanding of the vice president.
Since the founding of the country, there are a few people who are even luckier than Cheney. As of now, there are a total of eight people who have been supported by spare tires because their partners died while in office.
Exactly 4 of these 8 partners died of illness - the worst was Harrison, the 9th President of the United States. He died of pneumonia just 31 days after taking office, which was just one month. Another 4 bit was assassinated.
Another lucky person was Gerald Ford, Vice President during Nixon's second term. He was the first person in American history to be promoted because of the president's resignation. And because he was appointed as the vice president because of the vice president's resignation, he was appointed vice president by the president. The president, and therefore the person who became the president without even participating in the general election...
But it seems that O'Hei is in great health, and judging from his behavior, he is unlikely to face impeachment, so he should not resign voluntarily.
Because of his skin color and the current environment, he is unlikely to be assassinated - that would have a greater impact than the assassination of Martin Luther King, and it is likely to lead to a complete division of American society, so all vested interests No one will allow such a thing to happen.
In other words, his deputy can only be a spare tire... Buchanan is not very interested in such a mascot with no sense of existence.
Although there are predecessors who became president after serving as vice president, such as former President George W. Bush and his father Bush Sr., Bush Sr. only served as president for one term.
Among all vice presidents, only Founding Father Thomas Jefferson was the lucky one who served as vice president and then was elected president and served two full terms.
Buchanan knew very well that no matter who supported him, he would not be as influential as the founding fathers, so he spent four years not to further lay the foundation, but to serve as a mascot with little presence, not a person. Good choice.
Sitting in the car, he looked back at the house and repeated, "I rejected him,"
"Feng, do you think I did the right thing?"
