I listened to your advice and finally became a male god.

Chapter 185 Confidants

"Qu Shanshan?" Zhang Yang nodded, said nothing, and waited while drinking tea.

Qu Shanshan stood aside, concentrating on serving tea and water, waiting on the side, and she didn't know if she knew anything.

After a while, the elevator in the distance opened.

A woman in her thirties stepped out of the elevator, looked around, and then trotted over quickly.

"Mr. Zhang...Mr. Zhang, you have been waiting for a long time."

She stood in front of Zhang Yang and panted.

Zhang Yang raised his head and looked at the person in front of him. He was wearing a hotel uniform and had short hair. She looked like a strong woman. This person should be the current GM of the InterContinental Garden Hotel, Kelly Yu.

"Are you the GM?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, my name is Kelly Yu, and I am currently the GM of our Intercontinental Garden Hotel." Kelly Yu said humbly with a hint of apprehension.

Qu Shanshan, who was standing nearby, didn't dare to breathe.

Through the phone call just now, coupled with Mr. Yu's current attitude, she finally confirmed that the handsome and young gentleman in front of her was actually the new owner of the hotel.

She looked at Mr. Yu, who had always been cold-faced and inhumane in the past, but now looked cautious, and she couldn't help but sigh.

The GMs who are so awesome are all working part-time.

"Okay, take me around and talk while we walk." Zhang Yang nodded.

There are three things a new official should do when he takes office, let alone his boss.

In this large five-star hotel, there are naturally many people in the upper and lower management who are former bosses, so it is certain that they will make a move.

The GM, on the other hand, should take his time. After all, this is also the top management who is most familiar with the hotel's situation.

If it is used well and performs well, it doesn't matter if it is retained.

When a new industry is acquired, stability is the first priority.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, please come this way." Yu Kaili said quickly.

Zhang Yang stood up and, together with Yu Kaili, prepared to take a walk around the hotel and understand the basic situation of the hotel.

Along the way, the two people stopped and walked, passing by the three-entry lobby and the magnificently decorated banquet area with a mansion-like charm. Along the way, Zhang Yang was impressed by the hotel decoration style that was full of Chinese garden style. It left a deep impression.

The entire hotel has 260 guest rooms ranging from tens to hundreds of square meters, more than 100 of which can enjoy the view of the Qiantang River.

There are four restaurants and one cafe, among which the elegant Chinese restaurant is on the 19th to 20th floors.

There are also two eight-meter-high column-free banquet halls of 1,500 square meters, 12 large multi-functional halls, and a rooftop garden of 2,000 square meters.

"It's such a huge thing." Zhang Yang sighed in his heart.

On the side, Yu Kaili was introducing the situation of the hotel diligently while quietly observing the expression of the new boss.

It's a pity that the new boss didn't have any unnecessary expressions from beginning to end.

"Mr. Zhang, if there are more specific situations, such as personnel situation and revenue situation, please allow me to report to you in the office." Yu Kaili said from the side.

"Okay, then go to your office."

The hotel's GM office and administrative office are on the first floor. Soon, Zhang Yang walked into the GM office.

Although the GM office is not on the top floor, the view is quite vast. The Qiantang River can be seen outside the window, which is quite refreshing. The decoration in the GM office is also quite elegant, very classic and elegant, which is worthy of the size and style of this hotel.

In one's own industry, of course there is no need to look outside.

Zhang Yang sat down directly on the leather boss chair behind the mahogany desk, looked at the reports on the desk, and flipped through them.

"Mr. Zhang, this is the list of personnel. How about I introduce it to you?" Yu Kaili asked Zhang Yang in a low voice.

"Okay, please introduce me." Zhang Yang continued to browse without raising his head.

"Mr. Zhang, there are currently 301 employees in the hotel, among whom..." Yu Kaili blurted out the staff situation quite skillfully.

The entire hotel, eight departments.

Front office, guest rooms, catering, security, market, engineering, finance, personnel administration, etc. are all divided into details.

Zhang Yang listened and looked at the report in his hand.

Last year, the InterContinental Garden Hotel's net profit was RMB 89 million, of which the proportion of catering was slightly higher and that of guest rooms was slightly lower. This can be seen from the room occupancy rate.

"Guest room check-in...it seems there is room for improvement." Zhang Yang raised his head and glanced at Yu Kaili.

There's a reason why he said that.

The entire hotel faces the Qiantang River, which can be said to have a direct river view. The location is excellent, and besides, this is Hangzhou.

Of course, he just said that casually.

Unexpectedly, Yu Kaili saw this, panicked in her heart, and quickly said, "Mr. Zhang, it's like this. Our hotel has always been positioned as a high-end hotel. Since its opening, it has hosted major domestic and international conferences, and has hosted hundreds of domestic and foreign political and business teams. , therefore, the room price is higher than that of five-star hotels of the same brand.”

"Oh, please introduce the marketing team." Zhang Yang looked at the marketing department again. It seemed that there were too many people.

To support so many marketing personnel, it is natural that there must be sufficient performance support.

Kelly Yu's voice was a little trembling, but she was actually the type who had always been calm and collected, so she shouldn't have lost her composure like this.

However, today's situation...

The big boss changed people overnight, and she, the hotel GM, was the first to bear the brunt and would definitely be affected.

She wanted to join this hotel right after graduation. She worked hard all the way and finally climbed to the position of GM at the age of thirty-five. She is young and promising. Is it possible? The new BOSS wants to take her today...

You know, there are things down there that people want to ascend to.

"Mr. Zhang, there are currently thirty people in the marketing department, including eighteen sales staff. In terms of performance..."

Zhang Yang listened to Yu Kaili's emphatically introducing the situation of market personnel, especially sales personnel.

Eighteen salespeople, the top ones are quite top-notch, the kind that can stand out from the crowd, and there are also many middle-level salespeople. However, the performance of those at the bottom of the list is not that of the top of the list every month or two, but that of the top of the list for a long time. .

"Who is the sales manager? Why don't these people at the end of the crane take any measures? Have they gone to run the company?" Zhang Yang asked again.

Kelly Yu took a deep breath next to her, took a step forward, and bent down slightly.

"Mr. Zhang, the sales manager is from the previous boss. I have never been able to get involved in the sales department, but don't worry, I will definitely..."

"What must it be like?" Zhang Yang raised his head and asked with a smile. "What are you going to do?"

"Mr. Zhang, if you give me a week, I will reorganize the sales department, open what should be opened, and promote what should be promoted." Yu Kaili seized the opportunity to express her loyalty, "Also, not only the sales department, but also in the hotel, I will also I will rectify it and put..."

She paused and continued, "Lay off all the people who need to be cleaned up at the minimum cost."

As for those who will be laid off, she naturally knows in her mind.

For example, people who are former bosses, people who eat and drink cards in hotels to make money, people who live in vain and spend money to support them.

"You're a little too nervous." Zhang Yang laughed suddenly. "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. Just don't let me down."

Kelly Yu's straight chest immediately puffed up.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your trust. Kelly will definitely not disappoint you." She knew that this was a test for her, a test of her ability and courage, and a test of her loyalty.

If she does well, she can successfully gain the trust of the new boss and her position will be more stable. If she does not do well, her decision to stay or leave is really just a matter of words from the new boss.

"Well, by the way, arrange a room for me." Zhang Yang ordered and then stood up.

He felt a little hungry.

A moment later, in the Chinese restaurant of the InterContinental Garden Hotel.

Zhang Yang was sitting alone by the floor-to-ceiling window. The table was filled with fried shrimps, Dingsheng cakes, Longjing shrimps and other Hangzhou dishes. They were all cooked by the chef here and served immediately.

It is indeed the signature restaurant of the entire hotel. These dishes are mainly salty, slightly sweet, and the overall taste is light and moderate, without losing the original taste of the ingredients.

"The food is really good." Zhang Yang nodded.

In the afternoon, sitting in his own property, eating food leisurely and admiring the scenery outside the window, Zhang Yang felt an indescribable sense of comfort.

"Mr. Zhang!" Suddenly there was a surprised voice from the side.

Zhang Yang glanced at the figure standing aside and felt that he looked familiar. Isn't that the lobby manager today? His name seems to be...

"Qu Shanshan?"

"Mr. Zhang, do you still remember me?" Qu Shanshan's face was filled with surprise.

"Sit down." Zhang Yang looked at Qu Shanshan, who was standing carefully in a hotel uniform, and motioned for her to sit down, "Have you eaten?"

"Mr. Zhang, I ate." Qu Shanshan said softly.

"Then eat some with me." Zhang Yang felt that there was a lot of food. Even though he was the boss, he didn't want to waste it.

"Okay." Qu Shanshan sat down obediently.

"How many years have you been coming to the hotel?" Zhang Yang chatted with the lobby manager while eating.

"Mr. Zhang, I have been coming to our hotel for five years." Qu Shanshan took the chopsticks and tasted briefly. Whenever Zhang Yang asked, she quickly put down the chopsticks and answered obediently as if giving a work report.

"Five years? How many years have you been the lobby manager?" Zhang Yang asked again.

"It's almost... almost two years." Qu Shanshan said cautiously.

"It's been two years, do you want to be promoted to front office manager?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.

The front office manager is, of course, older than the lobby manager. After all, the front office manager is in charge of all major and minor matters in the front office, while the lobby manager is not, strictly speaking, a manager.

"Ah?" Qu Shanshan was stunned, and her heart immediately began to beat wildly.

Mr. Zhang, why does Mr. Zhang ask this... Is it possible...

Her face turned red with excitement and she was speechless.

When the big BOSS speaks, whether he will be promoted or not is not a matter of just one sentence...but why is it me.

For just a moment, her mind was spinning wildly, trying desperately to find her own value.

When she raised her eyes and noticed Zhang Yang's eyes, her mind suddenly became enlightened.

"Mr. Zhang, I think." She said bluntly.

"Yeah." Zhang Yang hummed without saying anything.

"Mr. Zhang." Qu Shanshan bit her lip, "Mr. Zhang, I have worked in the hotel for five years, and I know a lot of things..."

Zhang Yang suddenly laughed when he heard this.

"Okay, I'll see you later and you can give me a good report. As for promotion... don't worry, as long as you perform well, I will give you a chance and put more burdens on your shoulders."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your appreciation." Qu Shanshan was so excited that she quickly stood up and thanked him.

When a new big boss comes to the hotel, isn't the first thing he should do is find his confidants? How could she not seize the opportunity that came down from the sky?

After a while, Qu Shanshan left first with her cheeks flushed with excitement.

Zhang Yang also put down his bowls and chopsticks and stood up to go to his suite.

Yu Kaili needs to be used, but whether he can become his confidant remains to be discussed. In this case, it is better to promote one and cultivate a confidant. After all, although he is the boss, he cannot know everything about the big and small things in the hotel.

He stayed in the most expensive President's Suite at the InterContinental Garden Hotel, costing 80,000 yuan a night.

The area of ​​more than 300 square meters is roughly equivalent to five river view suites. It is equipped with a large high-ceiling living room, a Chinese and Western kitchen and dining room, a study room, a video room, and a primary and secondary bathroom.

The decoration is rich in ancient style, but extremely luxurious.

After turning around in a circle, Zhang Yang stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

At your feet is the majestic Qiantang River, and on the other side is Qianjiang New City with its stunning skyline.

This angle, this view, is truly unique. And it's still daytime, but at night, the lights of Qianjiang New City on the other side will be bright, and the skyline will surely be even more dazzling and charming.

Standing in the head of state's suite in his own property, looking at the river view that belongs to him, Zhang Yang's mood was ups and downs for a moment.

"It's really... practical." Zhang Yang couldn't help but muttered to himself.

We are obviously in a strange city. However, since owning this industry, he has inexplicably felt an unparalleled sense of security.

Unconsciously, his background became deeper and deeper.

While admiring the river view, Zhang Yang suddenly received a message on his cell phone.

"Xiang Xiaotian?"

It was the message sent to Xiaotian on the phone.

"Brother Zhang, come quickly and save me." There was a series of pitiful and helpless expressions behind it.

"I almost forgot about this." Zhang Yang shook his head in amusement.

Since it was a promise, he would naturally not break his promise, so let's go there.

After a while, he walked out of the suite of heads of state and went straight downstairs, preparing to go to the Narada Hotel... well, to save the situation.

···

Lobby seating area of ​​Narada Hotel.

Xiang Xiaotian faced her parents sitting opposite, fidgeting.

"You said you didn't want to see your Uncle Lu's son? And you said you had a boyfriend?" Xiang Xiaotian's father, Xiang Detao, frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes." Xiang Xiaotian nodded quickly.

Xiang Detao looked at Xiang Xiaotian's mother, Dong Yaru, and said, "You go to Magic City every week, don't you know about this?"

"I really don't know." Dong Yaru thought for a moment and held her daughter's hand. "Xiaotian, did you find a reason to lie to your parents because you didn't want to see them?"

"I really don't. He is in Hangzhou. I have sent a message and he will be here soon." Xiang Xiaotian said a little guilty.

Xiang Detao snorted and drank some tea.

Anyway, when I looked at it, I didn’t believe it at all.
