National Tide 1980

In 1976, the capital received less than 20,000 foreign guests a year.

But by 1980, the number of foreign guests had soared to 280,000, and accommodation suddenly became a thorny issue for the government.

At that time, there were only 11 hotels with better facilities in Beijing that could accommodate foreign guests, with less than 5,000 rooms.

There are also some facilities that are old, frequently repaired, and operating at overload.

Even because of the shortage of hotels, embassies and consulates abroad had to confirm whether their housing in Beijing had been secured before issuing visas to foreigners coming to China.

It can be said that at this time, our reception of foreign guests is really embarrassing.

After every foreign guest comes to the capital, the hotel must know what time and time he arrives and what time he leaves.

If a customer fails to check out as scheduled, the hotel will have to find a way to lure such guests to Zhuozhou or Jinmen to spend the night.

Sometimes Zhuozhou and Jinmen were no longer able to accommodate guests, so orders would be issued at night and planes would be arranged to send guests to Jinling to stay.

Otherwise, foreign guests who cannot go out of town will have to spend the night in the hotel's restaurant or conference room.

So the foreign guests inevitably complained, "We miss and look forward to the capital, but why do we just sleep in a restaurant when we come to the capital?"

Think about it, this situation will only worsen in 1982.

And how could the Jianguo Hotel, which was built just to solve this problem, not be full?

This is why Pierre Carton has more and more employees in the Beijing Hotel and the company is expanding.

But so far, only the original few rooms have been rented, which is why the current corporate office environment is becoming more and more crowded.

It's not because there's no money, it's because there are few rooms.

You know, it is different from the joint venture Jianguo Hotel.

Beijing hotels, which still put political influence first, do not care so much about economic benefits, so it is even more difficult to squeeze out spare rooms.

Therefore, the business of the "PC" clothing store in Jianguo Hotel is booming! It has become inevitable.

The first day of business actually has the lowest turnover.

I also sold three suits, one women's suit, and four shirts. Fifteen ashtrays and five silk figures.

Five days later, the single-day turnover has increased from 3,000 yuan to 8,000 yuan, and it will definitely exceed 10,000 yuan on the weekend.

On average, it's easy to sell more than 20 sets of clothing a day.

For this reason, the fair lady is like a fairy. She doesn't like red makeup and loves to work overtime. Several girls work hard for Ning Weimin regardless of hard work.

Of course Ning Weimin was embarrassed.

He took advantage of May Day and spent his own money to order a pure cream cake from the pastry room of Jianguo Hotel for each girl, asking them to take it away to their families that day.

This holiday gift is not only an encouragement and affirmation of these girls' positive work attitude, but also an apology and compensation for their inability to celebrate the holiday with their families.

At the same time, Ning Weimin also canceled all the discounts on handicrafts at the Zhai Palace Exhibition Hall, and even raised the price by 5%.

And arrangements have been made for training new employees after the holidays.

For no other reason than to worry about selling the things, he has already made sure that the business will only become more popular in the future.

Why earn less when you can earn more? Sufficient manpower must also be prepared as soon as possible!

Of course, there is one important person who needs to be comforted in the end.

That was Huo Xin who successfully pleased and retained the leader this time.

In order to thank him for this great contribution, Ning Weimin made a special trip to host a banquet at the French restaurant of Jianguo Hotel.

Huo Xin was simply flattered and overjoyed by such an invitation.

Because I don’t know what happened, the relationship between Huo Xin and Ning Weimin went from looking down on him at the beginning to being impressed and upset later.

Slowly it turned into uncompromising admiration and appreciation, so much so that now I am so obsessed that I always act based on his expression.

This feeling is very unique. I have never experienced this with Huo Xin, a proud and arrogant girl.

Deep down, she was a little scared of this feeling, but she also enjoyed it.

Because since she found her favorite person, she has a real sense of belonging.

As long as Ning Weimin can be nice to her, she will be full of joy in life.

As long as Ning Weimin gives her some positive answers, she will feel that her life is particularly fulfilling.

She began to understand one thing. For a woman, the most important thing is not to have a lifelong partner who fully conforms to her heart.

So when Ning Weimin took the initiative to invite him with a soft light in his eyes.

"Huo Xin, you have done a very good job recently. I hope you will do a good job in the future, take up a more important position, and become my right-hand man. So, don't I still owe you a meal? Then after get off work today, please come to me When you eat, I treat it as a thank you."

Huo Xin agreed without even thinking.

"Okay, I didn't expect you to be quite romantic. Candlelight dinner is very suitable for a date..."

It's just that she reacted so quickly, coupled with this obvious misunderstanding.

Ning Weimin couldn't help but feel shocked, and suddenly felt annoyed that he had made a bad move.

However, now that the words have been spoken, it is too late for him to regret it. It will definitely not work to push back now.

I can only bite the bullet and deal with it.

"This is what it should be. I won't treat the people who help me badly. Just order whatever you want, don't worry about the price. Don't treat me like a leader, and don't be polite to me."

To be honest, although the dryness in Ning Weimin's expression could not be concealed.

But Huo Xin didn't see it at all.

You know, love brain is really a disease, and girls who are trapped in their own emotions are also paranoid.

Huo Xin now is almost the most typical patient.

She will only look at problems according to her own understanding.

As a result, she saw a new level of non-existence in Ning Weimin's politeness.

This step made her heart beat with excitement, a little panicked, and full of expectation.

"He wants to date me?"

Huo Xin's little sweetheart kept beating "plop-plop-plop".

"Yes, he meant that he wanted to date me. I definitely heard him right..."

The heart is in full bloom and the ripples continue.

But on the surface, I still have to pretend to be calm.

Otherwise, it will make people feel frivolous and not profound.

Especially beautiful women, this is the most taboo.

Huo Xin's mother said this truth countless times.

Huo Xin has listened to it repeatedly since she was a child, so she will remember it forever.

So she smiled slightly and didn't express too much. She just said, "Then I will be disrespectful."

As a result, she pretended to be calm, which somewhat reassured Ning Weimin.

That's how things are in the world, expectations and reality are often messed up.

Especially when it comes to matters between men and women, because no one can explain things clearly, misunderstandings are everywhere and it is difficult to clarify.

It is also difficult to grasp and anticipate specific changes.

Like that night, this meal was more interesting.

Ning Weimin's original intention was to just have a perfunctory meal.

Just wait for the food to arrive, order the food, eat when the food is served, and leave after eating. If you leave, it is considered a victory.

But he didn't expect that Huo Xin dressed up carefully in order to show off her charm.

She bought a set of "PC" clothes, put them on, and attended the event solemnly.

Not to mention, a confident woman is indeed unstoppable.

When the gorgeously dressed Huo Xin and Tingting appeared in Justin's restaurant carrying a small handbag.

The gold threads on her new clothes and the gorgeous outfit, in the soft lights and candlelight of the restaurant, dazzled Ning Weimin, who had been waiting for her for a long time, so much that he almost couldn't open his eyes.

For the first time, he discovered Huo Xin's dazzling heterosexual beauty.

"Be good! This figure, these lines, this outfit... doesn't she feel cold?"

Even many of the other guests in the restaurant were stunned.

There are also many foreign women who are angry with their stupid-looking foreign husbands because of Huo Xin's appearance.

So Ning Weimin stood up and waited for Huo Xin to sit down. He didn't order anything else, but first ordered a bottle of lemon juice from the waiter.

He drank half a liter of liquid in one breath.

This is entirely the effect of hormones, and it is impossible to resist simply because of greed.

In this way, Ning Weimin felt extremely uncomfortable that day. How do you think you can eat this meal?

His mind was really groggy, and he was far from calm as usual.

As for him, he prepared the dishes and the wine diligently, and originally planned to talk about work, but he didn't say anything about his hunger and thirst.

But his performance made Huo Xin so happy that his heart almost burst out of his chest.

She regarded this meal as the happiest meal in her life.

From then on, she would always remember Ning Weimin's hot eyes as he looked at her.

She truly felt the joy of a woman who pleases her.
