Chapter 502 Becoming a Rich Woman?
"Mr. Qin, are you satisfied with our house? The duplex on the top floor has a wide view, and the balcony faces the Huangpu River. It is definitely the king of buildings." The real estate salesperson introduced it with great enthusiasm.
Qin Hao did not express his position, but turned to look at Zhong Xiaoqin and asked softly: "What do you think?"
"Ah?" Zhong Xiaoqin was completely confused. Qin Hao just said he wanted to buy a house nearby two days ago. He never expected to take her to see the house so soon.
Qin Hao was amused and flicked Zhong Xiaoqin's forehead gently: "What are you thinking about? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but think of the absurd scene last night. At first, she and Qin Hao were fighting fiercely in the room. Halfway through, Zhao Jingyu coaxed Qin Rui to sleep and joined the battle group. Originally, Zhong Xiaoqin thought that a savior had come and could help. She shared Qin Hao's firepower, but Zhao Jingyu helped Qin Hao bully her.
"I hate it." Zhong Xiaoqin pinched the soft flesh around Qin Hao's waist angrily, and her face turned red.
Real estate sales consciously took a few steps backwards, with an air of keeping an eye on my nose and my heart, and don't listen to wrongdoing. At the same time, I secretly sighed: It's better to have money.
Qin Hao leaned into Zhong Xiaoqin's ear and whispered: "There are outsiders here, pay attention to the influence."
Zhong Xiaoqin then let go of her hand and looked at the real estate sales on the side. Then she approached Qin Hao and said softly: "Actually, you don't need to buy such an expensive house, just get a small apartment."
Qin Hao held Zhong Xiaoqin's fleshy little hand and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, this little money doesn't put any pressure on me, and this kind of high-quality real estate will have room for appreciation in the future. Just treat it as an investment. At worst, it will be sold." You can still make a fortune.”
Zhong Xiaoqin thought it made sense. To be honest, she was very excited about this house. Qin Hao found this house according to the standards of Junyue Mansion just for a bowl of water.
Qin Hao didn't wait for Zhong Xiaoqin to express his position, and said to the real estate salesperson: "That's it. Let's go down and talk about the price. We'll decide if it suits us."
The real estate salesman's eyes widened and he was obviously stunned. This was a house worth tens of millions. He came to see it once and made a decision. He was indeed rich and willful. He quickly took the God of Wealth back to the VIP reception room of the sales office. .
In the end, after a tug-of-war, the price was negotiated at a 15% discount.
"Mr. Qin, please give me your ID card. I need to copy it here."
Qin Hao turned around and asked Zhong Xiaoqin: "Did you bring your ID card?"
Zhong Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously took out her wallet from her backpack: "Take it, take it."
Qin Hao took out his ID card from Zhong Xiaoqin's pocket wallet and handed it to the real estate salesperson: "Just use hers."
Real estate salespeople are dumbfounded. He has seen a lot of rich bosses, and a lot of people who bring women to buy houses, but he has never seen a house worth tens of millions registered in the name of a woman, even if it is a couple. At most, the names of both parties will be registered.
Zhong Xiaoqin was dumbfounded when she saw the real estate salesperson taking her ID card to copy it. This was tens of millions. Zhong Xiaoqin instantly thought, "Am I going to become a rich woman now?"
"Isn't this not good?" After Zhong Xiaoqin reacted, she grabbed Qin Hao's hand nervously.
Qin Hao smiled and shook her delicate little hand: "I don't have a permanent residence in Shanghai, so I can't buy a house. The house in Junyue Mansion was first put under the company's name and then transferred to Qin Rui's mother. One person and one set is fair enough, don’t worry.”
Zhong Xiaoqin's eyes were red with emotion. Qin Hao smiled and held her in his arms to comfort her. It took a while for Zhong Xiaoqin to calm down. For her, such a shock was obviously too much.
After signing the house purchase contract and swiping the card, the real estate salesperson respectfully sent Qin Hao and Zhong Xiaoqin to the parking lot. The smile on his face never broke, and his molars could be clearly seen.
"Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, go slowly. We will help you complete the procedures as soon as possible."
Watching Cullinan's taillights disappearing gradually, the real estate salesman couldn't help but sigh: "This rich man really doesn't use money as money. He just spent tens of millions to pick up girls."
In the passenger seat of the car, Zhong Xiaoqin was still half offline. Qin Hao was amused and pinched her soft chin while waiting for the traffic light.
"Okay, stop thinking about those messy things. What you should be thinking about now is how to decorate the house."
Zhong Xiaoqin's eyes lit up and she looked at Qin Hao with some surprise: "Decoration?"
"Yes, this house in Junyue Mansion was decorated by Qin Rui's mother. Is there any problem with decorating your own house? Just swipe my secondary card. If there is anything you don't understand, you can also ask Qin Rui's mother." Qin Hao watched the red light turn into green, released the brake and slowly followed the car in front.
Zhong Xiaoqin suddenly launched a surprise attack and kissed Qin Hao on the side of his face. There were only two words in his mind: "wedding room".
After a while, Qin Hao parked the car in front of Zhong Xiaoqin's house. Although they had already confirmed their relationship in front of the old couple of the Zhong family, the old couple did not stop them from continuing to date, but asked Zhong Xiaoqin to live at home, which made Zhong Xiaoqin stay at home. Yue Mansion had to drag Gu Jia in to help him lie the whole night.
Zhong Xiaoqin didn't go home these days, and Zhong's mother kept calling her to check on her. There was no other way, so Zhong Xiaoqin could only go home for a few days.
"I'll be quite busy these days. You might as well stay at home for a few days and I'll pick you up when I'm done." Qin Hao comforted Zhong Xiaoqin who didn't want to get out of the car for a long time.
Zhong Xiaoqin nodded reluctantly: "Okay, I will also use this time to finalize the decoration plan."
"Well, go ahead."
Waiting until Zhong Xiaoqin went upstairs, Qin Hao opened the door again, started the car and slowly drove out of the community.
As soon as Zhong Xiaoqin returned home, Mother Zhong came to greet her. Seeing Zhong Xiaoqin holding a document bag in her hand, she couldn't help but curiously asked: "What are you holding?"
After thinking about it, Zhong Xiaoqin did not tell her mother about the house. It was her and Qin Hao's secret base there. She didn't want her mother to run there every two days and disturb her and Qin Hao's world, so she said casually: "It's nothing. There's still some unfinished work in the company. I'll work overtime to get it out later. I'll hand it in tomorrow."
Father Zhong hadn't seen his daughter for several days, so he said to his wife, "Okay, let's talk about it after dinner if you have anything to say."
Zhong Xiaoqin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and put her bag and document bag into the room.
Mother Zhong looked at her daughter suspiciously. She always felt that her daughter was hiding something from her.
In the next period of time, Zhong Xiaoqin was busy decorating the house, Zhao Jingyu was busy making suggestions while taking care of her daughter, and Qin Hao also devoted his main energy to negotiations with Mr. Yu.
Low-end chain hotels and high-end hotels are completely different concepts. Express hotels like 7 Days Inn and Home Inns only need to ensure that the rooms are clean and sanitary. Customers who spend a hundred yuan or so will naturally not have such high requirements for hotels. .
But high-end hotels are different, especially five-star hotels. The reason why customers are willing to pay high room rates is because of the hotel's all-round conditions. Hardware matters are not so bad. As long as they are willing to spend money, there will be more luxurious hotels. All can be built.
It’s not that easy in terms of software. In the two worlds of “Ode to Joy 3” and “Go Where the Wind Is”, Zhu Zhe and Xu Hongdou both worked as grassroots managers in five-star hotels, and Qin Hao also learned about various things from them. The demands of such tricky customers, some of which can even be described as rude, but there is no other way, we still have to try our best to meet their needs. If it is really unsatisfactory, we have to find a way to prevent customers from complaining.
Mr. Yu has been working in low-end chain hotels before. The reason why he has never dared to set foot in high-end hotels is because he understands the difficulty.
During the negotiation process, Qin Hao naturally used this as a breakthrough to lower the price.
"Mr. Qin, if you insist on this shareholding ratio, with all due respect, it will be difficult for me not to doubt your sincerity."
Mr. Yu looked a little unhappy. Qin Hao insisted on holding 55% of the shares. This was obviously not in line with Mr. Yu's usual style of doing things. This alone made it difficult for him to accept.
Qin Hao spread his hands and said with an indifferent expression: "Mr. Yu, I believe you should understand the stringent management requirements of a five-star hotel. The reason why you chose to cooperate with our Qin Group is Isn’t it the Qin Group’s experience in high-end hotel management?”
"If we don't have a controlling stake, if there are differences in hotel management in the future, will Mr. Yu have the absolute confidence to take over the hotel?"
Mr. Yu felt a little headache when he saw Qin Hao's tough attitude and refused to give in. As Qin Hao said, the reason why he wanted to partner with Qin Hao was to use the management experience of Qin Group and share the risks at the same time.
But he was really unwilling to hand over the initiative to others. What if the hotel made money in the future and Qin Hao kicked him out?
"Mr. Qin, that's not what you're saying. When you cooperate with me, aren't you also interested in my connections and resources in the mainland?"
Qin Hao didn't mean to finish what he said, but directly interrupted: "Mr. Yu is right, I do like Mr. Yu's resources in this area, but this does not mean that I only have one choice. If Mr. Yu is unwilling to cooperate with me, I can find another partner, such as the Yu Group. The Qin and Yu families are family friends. When it comes to connections and resources, I think Mr. Yu can't compare to them, right?"
These words hit Mr. Yu's weakness. He knew the relationship between Qin Hao and the Yu Group. If the Yu Group really planned to enter the high-end hotel industry, he really had no advantage.
Qin Hao looked at Mr. Yu calmly with a smile on his face. In fact, he had talked with Mr. Yu Chen a long time ago. However, Mr. Yu was obsessed with building commercial housing in horse racing and was not interested in hotels. According to him, this thing requires a lot of investment. The return rate is slow, not as fast as building and selling properties.
"Okay, I can make concessions, but 49% of the shares is my bottom line. If Mr. Qin still insists on holding 55% of the shares, then Mr. Qin will hire Gao Ming." Mr. Yu said word for word, and returned Make a gesture of getting up and leaving at any time.
Qin Hao pretended to be embarrassed and hesitated for almost a minute before slowly saying: "Okay, then I will account for 51% as Mr. Yu said."
In fact, Qin Hao's goal of controlling the controlling stake has been achieved. As for whether the shares are 55% or 51%, it doesn't actually matter. What's more, when a hotel chain opens in the future, other investors will inevitably be introduced, and there will be many opportunities to dilute the total shareholding. Of course, if the cooperation between the two parties is happy, Qin Hao wouldn't mind taking Mr. Yu to eat meat and drink soup.
After the two parties reached an agreement, they jointly invested 310 million yuan to register a hotel management company according to their respective shareholding ratios.
The reason why it is 310 million is because five-star hotels have many rigid standards in terms of scale, such as floor space, number of rooms, and subsequent single-room decoration standards. All must meet the requirements before they can apply for a five-star license.
After the company was registered, the two of them divided their respective responsibilities and got busy. Mr. Yu was responsible for acquiring the land and subsequent construction, while Qin Hao was responsible for recruiting and training employees as well as the design and decoration of the hotel.
Of course, Qin Hao didn't need to worry about small things like recruiting and training employees. The team from Xiangjiang could handle it. Qin Hao's main focus was on the design of the hotel.
In the world of "Golden Years", Qin Hao studied architecture, which came in handy at this time.
"I don't know if you have ever thought about it. There are already so many modern-style hotels in Shanghai. Why would customers choose a mediocre hotel with no highlights?" Qin Hao told the design team. The first draft of the design was not satisfactory.
The heads of several design companies quickly came up with backup design drafts. This is considered an industry practice. They first prepared a smooth design draft and handed it over to Party A to test Party A's reaction. In order to win this big project, Every design company prepares at least several design drafts.
After submitting several design drafts one after another and all being rejected, the heads of several design companies no longer had the calmness on their faces, and they all stared at Qin Hao nervously.
Qin Hao casually clicked on a design draft, feeling a little impatient. It wasn't until he saw the last design draft that his eyes lit up.
“Can you ask this designer to explain his design concept?”
A young designer stood up under the envious gazes of everyone, pursed his lips nervously, and then faced Qin Hao.
"Mr. Qin, I think that the designs adopted by domestic five-star hotels are too conservative. Most of them adopt Western style. Why can't we adopt Chinese style? Especially in the Magic City, the water towns and gardens in the south of the Yangtze River look very... Is it harmonious?”
Qin Hao nodded secretly, but asked calmly: "Then how do you solve the problem of coordination of the overall style?"
The garden must serve as an embellishment for supporting facilities. What customers really want to stay in is the main body of the hotel. There is no problem with the Chinese-style interior decoration, but the exterior is not easy to solve. You can't really use wood to build it, right? That's how B&Bs work. A five-star hotel needs at least 300 rooms to make money back.
"You can use the red walls and yellow tiles similar to the Forbidden City to create a Chinese-style atmosphere. You only need to make some decorations on the outer walls and roofs. This will not only make the overall style appear unobtrusive, but also catch the customer's attention."
