Chapter 195 The Cyclamen Hotel

"What about my dad? Can he live in?" Xiao Yu asked seriously.

"Whatever. The house belongs to you and your mother, and you can live in whoever you want."

"That's great. Then don't sell our old house in Sanjiang County, and don't buy a new house. When my brother buys the Dongshan villa, our family will move to the urban area."

"Silly girl, you have been dragged in by your brother, do you really think he can afford the Dongshan villa?" Ning Haifeng shook his head and smiled wryly.

"I believe it, why don't you believe it? My brother can even catch up with the school belle to be his girlfriend, and he can solve the world's math problems. What else can't be done? Dad, you have to admit that your brother's ability is better than yours. , and much stronger. You're just jealous!"

"Okay, you little girl, I've started to criticize your father."

...

Maybe Ning Xiaoyu really couldn't get used to his father's face, and stood on the side of his brother Ye Tian, ​​and started arguing with his father. The father and daughter did not stop until they arrived at the Cyclamen Hotel.

This is a large Chinese-style restaurant building built along the river, with double eaves, brackets, red walls and yellow tiles, especially eye-catching among the high-rise buildings all over the street.

It’s not completely dark yet, but the city is already lit up, and the colorful lights decorated in the Cyclamen Hotel are also lit up, which has a sense of sight of Hongyadong, a mountain city, but the scale is too small. one building.

After knowing that his daughter was in love with Xie Caijun, Ning Haifeng made a special trip to visit Xie's restaurant, observed secretly, and was very satisfied. To be able to afford such a large restaurant, the family conditions should not be bad.

"How about it, isn't it good?" Ning Haifeng said to his wife with a smile, "You see, the parking lot is almost full, and there are so many customers. The business must be booming and making money every day."

As Ning Haifeng said, the restaurant's business is really good, as can be seen from the parking lot. At this time, it was not completely dark yet, and the huge parking lot was almost full. Looking at the restaurant, guests are constantly coming and going, and the tables on the side of the wall can be seen to be full of guests.

Xie's Cyclamen Hotel was designated as one of the restaurants for official banquets by the Tianhai authorities because of its reputation. It is an honor, a great honor.

"It's good, it's good, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you. We're just here to have a meal and pay for consumption. Don't think about anything else." Gu Xiaoman said coldly.

"I didn't say no to the money, why are you so anxious about me!"

"If I'm not in a hurry with you,

I'm afraid you're going to sell your daughter. Let me declare to you again that my daughter is not allowed to fall in love until she is admitted to university. I don't like the surname Xie. "

"Okay, okay, no dating, we're just here for dinner tonight, we don't talk about other things. Let's go, hurry in, don't let Xiaoxie wait for a long time."

Xie Caijun arrived first in his BMW for a while, and was already standing at the door to welcome everyone. Standing with him was a young man in his thirties, in a suit and leather shoes, with a dignified appearance.

The young man's name is Sun Liang, the operation manager of the hotel.

"Master, is this not good? What if the boss and the others want to eat and the private room is taken?" Sun Liang worried.

"Don't worry, my father and the others usually have a shareholders' meeting at ten o'clock in the evening. It's considered early, and it's normal to eat in the middle of the night. At that time, my girlfriend's family would have had a good meal."

Just now, Xie Caijun called his father at the school gate, but he couldn't get through. Later, he called Manager Sun Liang, and only then did he know that his father was in a meeting.

Although the Cyclamen Hotel is not listed, it has several shareholders. The Xie family is the largest shareholder and absolutely holds the controlling stake. Of course, the Xie family refers to Xie Caijun's father, Xie Jingtang, a businessman with means and courage.

Cyclamen was only a small restaurant in the hands of Xie Caijun’s grandfather, Xie Huaian. At that time, it was called Cyclamen’s Tu Restaurant. It was developed and grown in the hands of Xie Caijun’s father, Xie Jingtang. The introduction of external assets and advanced management experience led the establishment of the small restaurant. It turned into a big restaurant, a big hotel.

To say that Xie Jingtang is a man with means and courage, he can't even refuse to accept, he has both ways, tact and sophistication, and he has a very good relationship with the authorities. The people in the authorities can spend a lot, and they don't even blink their eyes if they can eat thousands of dollars for a meal. The official banquets of the authorities alone have brought considerable profits to the restaurant. At that time, it was called the golden stage of development of the Cyclamen Hotel. It's a pity that those good days are gone forever, because the "eight regulations" are fierce, and the authorities' high consumption has been strangled. As a result, the profit of Cyclamen Hotel has been falling for several consecutive years.

In order to kill the decline, Cyclamen Hotel had to transform. It used to be positioned as a high-end restaurant, and a meal cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, which ordinary people could not afford. Now it is positioned as a mid-to-low-end restaurant. With more customers, small profits but quick turnover, the decline gradually Reversed, but there is still a big gap with the previous "golden stage of development".

Today is the day when the Cyclamen Hotel holds a general meeting of shareholders. The quarterly meeting started in the morning, with a break in the middle, and it has not yet ended. The atmosphere at the venue was very depressing, because the financial report showed that the profit growth of the restaurant was weak, and the shareholders received less and less money.

In fact, with the current scale of Cyclamen, the profit has reached a limit, and the profit will only go down, not up, unless it opens another branch.

Xie Jingtang put forward a bold proposal with great foresight, building Cyclamen into a chain brand, opening a second Cyclamen store in Tianhai, and opening three or four stores in the provincial capital Linjiang in the future, and then Jincheng, Yunzhou,... …, opened all over the country, listed on NASDAQ, and went to the world.

Xie Jingtang has drawn a grand blueprint, and his ideals are quite full. However, this requires money, a lot of money, just investing in a restaurant, you don’t know how many years of profits will be invested in it, shareholders have to take risks, after all, a big restaurant is not a small local restaurant, there is no investment of tens of millions Can't do it. Therefore, when Xie Jingtang made his proposal, the shareholders were basically opposed.

There were even some voices criticizing him, because the restaurant still had a lot of bad debts for official banquets that had not been recovered, and some of them were bad debts from several years ago, which added up to several million. The shareholders blamed him for not being able to collect money .

In the discordant and oppressive atmosphere, the conference is still open, and it is not ruled out that it will be held until midnight.

It's just dark now, and the shareholders who held the meeting haven't eaten yet. At the request of the boss Xie Jingtang, Manager Sun Liang reserved a top-level luxury private room for shareholders to eat whenever they want.

The top luxury private room in Cyclamen Hotel is incredible, comparable to the presidential suite of a five-star hotel. At its most brilliant, it required a minimum spending of 30,000 yuan. Although the glory is not there now, the minimum spending is 10,000 yuan to be booked.
