Wealth

Xia Donghai counted. There are currently more than 150 employees in the company, including more than a dozen newly signed artists, and more than 60 people, led by Feng Xiaonan, have been distributed in various places for business performances.

"There are more than one hundred and fifty people, isn't it a bit too much?" Xia Donghai hesitated.

Although it is said to be a big eater, so many people rushed out in a mighty manner. Nearly 20 dinner tables have to be prepared. It is indeed a large group of diners. I am afraid that the restaurant does not have this preparation and the ingredients are not enough. .

"What does it matter?" Fan Wubing smiled, "It's nothing more than spending a little more money. Finding a good restaurant is the real thing."

Xia Donghai nodded, and summoned several executives from the company and asked them if they had any good suggestions.

I heard that the big boss of the company is going to take employees out for consumption. Several supervisors are very cautious. After all, they don’t know what the boss’s original intention was. If they choose a cheap restaurant, they will be said to be inadequate, but if it’s too expensive, they are afraid of big The boss was upset, so he hesitated.

Or Xia Donghai said, "Why the boss is a rich man, let's put it this way, where is the restaurant you most want to go to in Shanghai? Where is the most tasteful place? Where is the most expensive place? Where do we go! "

Now everyone understood, let go of their minds and use their brains. Not long after, everyone rushed to propose the names of a lot of high-end restaurants, such as the Peace Hotel, the international hotel, and the Jinjiang Hotel. Wait a minute, I have mentioned a lot, but opinions are not uniform. ===

"Choose a reputable old brand!" Xia Donghai suggested.

"Speaking of the oldest qualifications and the best reputation. Of course, it is the International Hotel. Before the Japanese entered the Northeast, the International Hotel was already open for business in Shanghai, and it has persisted until now." A supervisor replied.

"How is the food?" Fan Wuyao asked.

"I haven't eaten it." Several people replied very ashamed.

No illness, nodded, thinking that after all, it is one of Shanghai's most famous hotels with a long history. Everyone's salary is not enough to eat, and ordinary people go to international restaurants to consume. Don't have enough confidence, right? So he said, "Since you haven't been, I haven't been. Then I'll eat it today, and everyone will inform the employees of various departments. Go to the international restaurant and be happy!"

The company was still some distance away from the international hotel, so he started to take taxis in batches. Fan Wuyin saw this and said to Xia Donghai, “The company now has two hundred people. It’s impossible to go out to take a taxi. It is inconvenient on the one hand, and on the other hand, there is no guarantee of time. It seems that we have to purchase a batch of official cars first."

"I have considered this matter, but it will cost a lot of money." Xia Donghai replied.

Nowadays, domestic cars are expensive, even if you buy a domestic Santana, you also need to spend a lot of money. Not to mention the imported cars with many tariffs. If the company wants to solve the travel problem, even if it is a car for ten people, it needs to buy 20 cars, which is a huge expenditure of several million.

Who knows that Fan Wuyi said, "The image of the company is also very important. How can a first-class company allow employees to squeeze a bus or take a taxi when they are in the office? That's good. Or Audi, buy 30 cars. . There should be a discount."

Thirty Audis? ! Several supervisors in the room were shocked!

As expected of the big boss, the manner in which he speaks is different. Thirty Audis, nearly 20 million yuan in expenditure, were settled in one sentence, and I did not see any doubts from Xia Donghai. He is really a powerful and wealthy man. Boss! Follow such a boss, there is a future!

Everyone suddenly made up their minds, if possible, they must die at New Silk Road Entertainment Company! The boss is so rich! And willing to spend money on employees! Where can I find such a boss?

So the group of people waited violently and rushed to the International Hotel. More than forty taxis were stopped along the way. The pedestrians on this road were a little depressed, so that the taxi drivers thought it was here. What major events happened, they all drove over to watch. ****

Fan Wuyi's car was just right for four people. After he got in the driving seat, he asked Xia Donghai, "You should be able to drive?"

"I lack sports cells." Xia Donghai immediately expressed his attitude. Naturally, the two women can't drive. Fan Wubing had to continue to act as a driver, but he was not familiar with the road conditions in Shanghai, so he drove slower, and finally got to the International Hotel, but he saw the staff. We have all entered, and there are a few people waiting for them at the door. ****

"In the future, each of you must learn to drive!" Fan Wuyao said to everyone after getting out of the car.

The International Hotel was built in 1934, with a total height of 24 floors, 22 floors above ground and two floors underground. It not only has automatic elevators, but also opened international long-distance telephone calls and built an underground vault. In Asia in the 1930s and 1940s, even Tokyo, Japan, did not have such high modern buildings, and the International Hotel became the tallest skyscraper in the Far East.

At that time, land prices in Shanghai were already very high. For example, the Bund on Nanjing Road was the most expensive place. In the early 1930s, land prices had reached 300,000 taels of silver per mu. When Shanghai opened as a port, the British, Americans, and Western businessmen went to Shanghai to rent land from local farmers. At that time, the land price per acre was only 1,500 yuan. In this century, the price of land has risen 200,000 times.

The International Hotel was funded and constructed by the Four Banks Savings Association. The designer was the famous Hungarian architect Wudak. The Four Banks Savings Association was a group formed by the partnership of four private capital banks in China at that time. *****It wants to express its strength by building tall buildings, but this strength is actually very limited, so it is impossible to buy land on the Bund because the price of land on the Bund is too high.

Later, they bought such a relatively cheaper place next to the racecourse. The International Hotel faces south, so you can have a panoramic view of the racecourse on the opposite side. At that time, it was said to have forgotten the noise of carriages and horses, and it was suspected of evolving to rise to the immortal. The tallest building in the Far East was also famous for this.

When everyone walked into the lobby, the waiter in charge of the reception talked about the glorious history of the international hotel. For example, the engagement ceremony of the original Flying Tigers captain General Chennault and Ms. Chen Xiangmei was held here, as well as China-US international long-distance calls. The opening ceremony was also held here. It is said that in the suite on the fourteenth floor, Sister Soong Meiling used to talk to President Roosevelt’s wife on the phone.

The celebrities in Shanghai at the time were also frequent visitors here, such as Mei Lanfang, Ruan Lingyu, and Butterfly, all of whom had participated in various banquet activities here.

"The title of International Hotel Shanghai's tallest building has been maintained for half a century." The waiter said with some pride.

Fan Wubing heard this but was a little disapproving. The honor of the international hotel has been maintained for half a century, which is equivalent to the stagnation of domestic construction for half a century! The fifty-year gap, coupled with the previous historical debts, is a heavy historical burden. How many years of hard work will it take for the Chinese to get it back?

It's just that the tourists who come here, I'm afraid that few people would think like Fan Wuyi's?

The hotel has five different styles of restaurants serving Chinese and Western dishes, namely the International Gallery, Fengze Building, Shunfeng Hall, Peacock Hall, and Yunlou. Fan Wubing thought about it, and let the employees make their own choices. Who wants to eat? Go to the corresponding restaurant for any type of meal.

The result is that the most people eat western food. Fan Wubing originally wanted to eat Chinese food, but the two girls both said they wanted to try the western food here. In fact, they wanted to see what the real western food is like. Fan Wuyi followed them to eat Western food.

But before eating, Fan Wuyao said, "The Western food that is really made by the chef, and the Western food that is selectively modified for the Chinese, can still be eaten. You should stay away from the Western food in small restaurants. "

A guest passing by heard Fan Wuyi’s words, and he immediately agreed, "This little brother’s words are great! For western food, you can only come to this serious place~www.wuxiamtl.com~other small restaurants. , The Western food made is terrible!"

Fan Wuyao took a look. In the restaurant here, there were only six or seven tables for his own staff. The others were scattered in the other four restaurants. Not long after, waiters would come over and let everyone order.

Fan Wubing opened the menu and suddenly asked, "Is there a two-pound lobster?"

"No." The waiter was shocked, then shook his head and replied.

"This is okay." Fan Wubing said with a smile.

"This is really not." The waiter replied with a little helplessness. Although lobsters can grow to more than ten catties, they are usually seen, which is up to one catty. Fan Wubing asks for two catties of lobsters. It is indeed a bit difficult for everyone. At this time, you don’t know that there is a small Shenyang in the northeast. what!

"Haha, let's just get a lobster weighing a pound!" Fan Wuyao laughed.
