How to be financially free

Chapter 434 Obtaining [-] Million Operating Funds
in the next few days.

Everything is proceeding step by step.

The rectification of Penglai Hotel is in progress, and the hotel's system score is also rising bit by bit, slowly but steadily.

The waiting process was boring, and it was rare for Xu Wen to be in a hurry. After all, there was no point in being anxious.

Every day, I either go back to send Xu Jiang to driving school, or go to school for class, and occasionally, live broadcast to stabilize my online number.

If you don't live broadcast for a long time, the popularity you have finally gained will slowly disappear.

Naturally, he couldn't give up easily on the part of live broadcasting.

After all, ghosts know when the next mission will come.

This morning, Xu Wen rushed to Haicheng University to attend a public class.

In the classroom at ten o'clock, there were scattered students sitting in twos and threes.Some listened attentively, some lowered their heads and dozed off, and some played with their girlfriends under the table with their fingers.

At this moment, Xu Wen was sitting by the window, bathed in the morning glow, his shoulders were golden, and occasionally he lowered his head, the tip of his hair passing by his eyes, but the pen in his hand didn't stop.

When the teacher mentioned a key point, Xu Wen was about to write down the knowledge points, when a reminder came from his mind.

"The comprehensive score of the Penglai hotel system has reached [-] points, the task has been completed, and [-] million operating funds have been released."

Is this done?
Xu Wen was a little dazed.

For the previous live broadcast mission, I fought alone and racked my brains to complete it dangerously at the last moment.

As for the hotel rectification task this time, I just chatted with Zhou Siling in detail and provided directions. I never expected that under her deployment and the full operation of all departments of the hotel, it would be completed so logically?
Sure enough, professional things are still left to professional people.

In the hotel industry, Zhou Siling has struggled from the bottom to this point after nearly 20 years of accumulation. Her ability is still immeasurable.

Of course, also because of my own existence.

If she wants to show her worth in front of herself, she has to do her best.

Although, this time, it is only the most basic and simple minor changes, but undoubtedly, the significance is extraordinary.

The reward for completing the task is [-] million hotel operating funds.

The operating capital of [-] million is huge, and it is time to carry out the comprehensive and in-depth rectification work of the hotel.

Thinking of this, Xu Wen suddenly raised his head, startled Cheng Tian who was secretly looking at him not far away, and quickly looked away.

After a while, seeing that Xu Wen didn't seem to notice his gaze, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The class was still going on, but Xu Wen's heart had already started to drift.

Although one hundred million cannot be directly used by oneself, it is also used on one's own industry.

It is impossible to say that Xu Wen didn't feel it in his heart. After all, the total cash on his body has not yet broken through the figure of over [-] million.

After an unknown amount of time, the lecturer in front of the podium put away the textbooks and announced that the get out of class was over.

In the classroom, the silence suddenly became noisy.

From the back to the front of the lecture theater, one after another stood up and filed out.

Xu Wen was thinking about the hotel, and planned to go directly to the hotel after class, first to inspect the changes in the hotel in the past few days, and then to implement the [-] million thing at once.

As soon as he got up and walked out of the classroom, there was a sound of trotting behind him.

"Xu Wen, I always see you going to the student union recently." Cheng Tian caught up and asked curiously.

"Is there any new mission?"

"You forgot? The welcome party." Xu Wen reminded.

"A welcome party?" Cheng Tian stood where he was, and suddenly realized.

There is less than a week before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the welcome party is just a few days away.

"I'm the host, and I'm also on the show. Speaking of which, I'm not very busy there, okay?" Xu Wen and Cheng Tian walked side by side.

Xu Wen was tall, and Cheng Tian's height was just above Xu Wen's shoulders.

In the sunshine near noon, the shadows of the plane trees on both sides of the campus avenue were mottled.

The two walked a long way together.

"Okay, I have to leave first." Xu Wen said goodbye to Cheng Tian with a smile.

"Then you? Slow down." Cheng Tian was still immersed in the atmosphere of being side by side with Xu Wen, and suddenly woke up at this moment, with some sense of loss in his eyes.

"Well, see you later." Xu Wen waved goodbye freely and walked towards the parking lot.

Cheng Tian watched Xu Wenyuan's back for a long time, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

On the way to the hotel, Xu Wen also had a lot of things to think about.

Although he has not been deeply involved in the hotel industry for more than ten or even decades, he is basically a layman.

However, the authorities are confused by the bystanders.

Although Xu Wen is a layman, he can look at problems from the perspective of consumers.

He still has a say in which aspects can improve the experience.

There are many ways to improve the experience.

Specifically as follows:

For example, in the front hall environment, the lobby should simplify the complexity, do subtraction instead of addition, and the simple and clear impression is definitely much better than the cumbersome and complicated impression.

Minimalism is already an important style that is currently popular.

Another example is the image and service attitude of the front desk staff. Although it is only a small aspect, it determines the quality of the guest's first impression of the hotel from the small to the big.

Just imagine, as soon as you enter the hotel, you will see handsome men and women full of enthusiasm and sincere smiles, and you can only see dull and tired faces when you enter the store. It is clear at a glance which is better.

Another example is very practical, the environmental facilities of the guest room, the various value-added services of the hotel members, night lights, late night porridge, aromatherapy milk and so on.

In short, everything needs money.

Hardware needs money, and it also needs money to fundamentally improve the service concept of a hotel.

Let’s talk about hotel renovation. The cost of a room can range from as low as 2000 to [-] to as high as [-] to [-]. The total cost of renovation of [-] rooms is [-] million.

In addition to other aspects of renovation and upgrading, such as the front hall, lighting, facilities, those old ones that cannot keep up with the contemporary aesthetic trend, all have to be changed.

Another example is the Chinese and Western buffet restaurant in the front hall, which also needs to be improved.

There are many ideas, and Xu Wen does not deny that some of his ideas must be immature.

After all, although he is the current owner of Penglai Hotel, he is also a complete layman.

At most, a layman only mentions the direction and suggestions, implements them, and controls the details. He cannot control it alone, and must rely on the strength of the team.

All in all, the operating capital of [-] million is the upper limit, which does not mean that it must be used up.

However, within the scope of [-] million, we must achieve perfection.

With the thoughts in his mind, Xu Wen Panamera passed the gate of the Penglai Hotel parking lot.After parking the car in the huge parking lot planned by Penglai Hotel.

Xu Wen got off the car and walked away, ready to feel the changes in Penglai Hotel in the past few days.

From a distance, the Penglai Hotel is still the same Penglai Hotel.

The improvement in the score means that there have been considerable improvements in some small but critical details.

Outside the lobby of the hotel, the doorman and lobby reception are already in place.They are all handsome men and beautiful women with good image and temperament.

The men are all tall and full of energy, and the hostesses are pretty and smiling.

Involuntarily, the old-fashioned atmosphere began to be swept away.

Although Xu Wen is the boss, apart from the management, not many people know him. Now in the eyes of the hotel staff, Xu Wen is just an ordinary customer.

This is also good, just to be able to look at the changes in the hotel in the past few days from the perspective of an ordinary guest.

In the lobby, the cumbersome furnishings have now disappeared.

At least it seems that there is a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Xu Wen really didn't know what to say about such simple things, but he didn't start to solve them until he became the boss.

The front desk in the lobby is full of little girls in the uniforms of Penglai Hotel. At this moment, all of them are smiling and welcoming the guests who are staying or checking out.

Xu Wen approached, and immediately saw the little girl who chatted casually that day.

As soon as she saw Xu Wen, the girl's eyes lit up, she quickly put down what she was doing, straightened her posture, and said hello to Xu Wen.

"President Xu!"

Seeing her reaction, the girls around her immediately understood.

In the blink of an eye, Yingying and Yanyan greeted each other. Although they guessed Xu Wen's identity, some of them saw Xu Wen for the first time, and they were still not sure about the character of the new boss.

Therefore, if there is anything, it is a bit restrained and tense.

"You keep working, I'll take a look." Xu Wen nodded and smiled, signaling them to continue working, then turned around and looked around the hall.

After Xu Wen left, a customer at the front desk took a curious look at Xu Wen's back.

"What kind of leader is this? You are very young, about the same age as you, right?" The guest who spoke was already middle-aged.

Young people at this age have already become leaders. After so many years, he is only a middle-level person in the company.

"Sir, your room card." The girl at the front desk handed over the room card with both hands. Seeing that the guest was so curious, she couldn't help explaining.

"This is our big boss."

The guest was shocked.

"Is he the big boss of Penglai Hotel?"

For a moment, I hurriedly stopped to look back, only to see that figure from the back facing up to a group of management staff in hotel uniforms, greetings everywhere they went.

From such a distance, you can hear Xu Zonghao from their mouths.

Xu Wen paused slightly, and in front of him was Zhou Siling and the heads of various departments patrolling the hotel.

At this moment, seeing him, the big boss, in front of him, they all hurriedly stopped and said hello respectfully.

"Zhou Siling, come to the office later." Xu Wen nodded slightly, and after a sentence, he walked to the elevator first.

Next to the elevator, it seems that relevant service personnel have been newly arranged.

At this moment, seeing the young man approaching with respectful greetings from the general manager, he hurriedly opened the elevator and stood aside respectfully.

When Xu Wen arrived at the office on the top floor, he first made a cup of tea by himself. After a while, he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with the teacup in hand to watch the scenery at noon.

Today's weather is exceptionally good. From this angle, you can have a panoramic view of the city.

He had just sipped a cup of tea when there was a light knock on the door behind him.

Xu Wen turned his head, looked at Zhou Siling who had finished work and rushed over, and smiled slightly.

"Zhou Siling, it can be seen in the past few days that the rectification has been quite effective, thanks to you." Xu Wen signaled Zhou Siling to sit down, and sat down on the boss chair behind the huge solid wood desk.

"Mr. Xu, the main reason is that the direction you gave is better, otherwise, my rectification will be nothing." Zhou Siling said a little modestly.

"Forget it, I don't need to be humble here." Xu Wen shook his head and smiled, and changed the topic.

"In the next few days, I may have to work harder for you."

A trace of doubt flashed in Zhou Siling's eyes, but there was no obvious change in her expression.

"President Xu, please tell me."

Xu Wen nodded and spoke eloquently.

Zhou Siling stood up in shock when she learned that Xu Wen was going to invest a total of [-] million in renovation budget.

"President Xu, are you serious?"

Although the current renovations are mostly plate-integrated, noise and time-consuming have been avoided to the greatest extent. Moreover, Penglai Hotel has so many floors that it can be renovated by floors.

However, during the renovation period, it is impossible to say that there is no impact on the business at all.

It can only be said to minimize losses.

However, these are not the most important. The most important thing is that with so much capital invested, when will it pay off?
After all, the size of the Penglai Hotel has been fixed. Is such a huge investment worth it?

"Of course it is true." Xu Wen gave Zhou Siling an affirmative answer.

Of course, Xu Wen couldn't tell her that this [-] million was the hotel's special operating funds given by the system, and he couldn't use it if he wanted to, and he had no other choice at all.

Since the system indicates that it is the operating funds for the hotel, it is better to spend it on the hotel in a down-to-earth manner.

Once the hotel renovation is in place and the overall style is improved, the revenue brought to the hotel will not be one year or two years.

Furthermore, Penglai Hotel has indeed been unable to keep up with the trend of the times over the years. If we don’t take this opportunity to catch up, are we waiting to be completely eliminated by the times?

Therefore, the upgrading and renovation of the hotel is imperative.

This is not a trivial matter. Although Xu Wen is the boss, he can't have fun by himself. It has to be coordinated and arranged by the whole hotel.

For example, how to avoid affecting the normal operation of the hotel to the greatest extent, the specific design plan, the specific construction unit, and how to properly arrange the hotel staff during the upgrade and renovation period.

There are many things, trivial and complicated.

As the general manager, Zhou Siling must have great responsibilities and great pressure.

As the boss, Xu Wen naturally couldn't do everything by himself, so what's the use of having subordinates?

"Zhou Siling, I know this is a bit embarrassing for you, isn't it?" Xu Wen asked with a half-smile.

If I were Zhou Siling, I naturally hoped to maintain the status quo.

After all, although the hotel is not as good as before, it has matured after all, and stable operation is more important than anything else.

Isn't it good to run a stable business like this and get an annual salary of hundreds of thousands a year?
It took a lot of effort to carry out the upgrade and transformation.

With such a large investment, the future income is still unknown, and the hotel's revenue will be affected right now.

Zhou Siling looked hard.

"Mr. Xu, if you have a request, I will naturally spare no effort to do it."

Xu Wen waved and took out a pen and paper.

"I forgot to tell you, this is how your salary will be calculated in the future."

Zhou Siling's heart beat rapidly.
