I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 187 This Rainy Night

The rain outside the window is still falling. Although Dali does not have winter in the true sense, as long as it rains, the cold will make people want to put on a thick dress, so I subconsciously tuck it in clothes, and then looked at Ye Zhi sincerely, hoping that she could help me with this.

Ye Zhi didn't rush to give me an answer, she just asked me: "Are you sure about what you did in Jiulongju this time?"

"Yes, but the time is very tight... Now many students have already had their winter vacation, and some of them have better family conditions, and they will choose to travel during the Chinese New Year. Some time ago, it was much bigger...I think this is a precursor to the explosion of the tourism market...so, I need to prepare for business as soon as possible."

"Well, then how do you grab the source of customers? I don't think it's an easy task."

I smiled and replied: "Don't forget, we built a sea view hotel before, although it was demolished, but I have not completely given up on the operation of the network platform... such as Weibo and official account , I have been updating the content one after another, so the attention has not been lost... In the past few days, I have received private messages from fans who followed Weibo and official accounts one after another, asking about the Chinese New Year period. Whether you can book a room or not, everyone has such a consensus. As long as you have a comfortable place to live, it doesn’t matter if you have a sea view or not. Because the blowout of Dali’s tourist market last year made them quite nervous...so I have confidence , Relying on the previously accumulated source of customers, I digested the listings of Jiulongju..." After a short pause, I said again: "It's really not possible, isn't there such booking software as Ctrip and Ant Short-term Rent... As long as there is no problem in the big tourist market, there will be no problem here!"

Ye Zhi just nodded and said: "It seems that you have really made sufficient preparations this time... However, I am thinking about a question... When Dali has become so commercialized, is it still what you pursued? Dali?"

"It's still the Dali I'm after, I'm not sure...but it must be the Dali you want to see."

"I don't quite understand what you mean by that."

"Think about the projects your group invested in Longkan... The ones who don't want Dali's tourism market to suffer the least are those of you who are at the top of the food chain."

Ye Zhi was a little embarrassed, so that she was silent for a while before replying: "I also want to distinguish Dali from other places, but as far as it is concerned..."

I took Ye Zhi's half-spoken words and continued: "It's the same as other places you have invested in, and it's just a way to make money, right?"

Ye Zhi neither denied nor affirmed.

……

Regarding the furnishing of the temporary inn, Ye Zhi agreed to help me as a staff member, so we drank the rest of the wine and we left the bar together... The rain never stopped, and we didn't bring umbrellas. I didn't want her to catch a cold, so I put the He took off his jacket and let her put it on his head.

In the swaying rain, I looked back at our backs under the street lights, and there seemed to be no obvious difference, but my steps were always behind her.I think, if I hold her hand, or hug her, our steps should be able to unify.

But I just think about it, if this thing is really done, it will make people blush and heartbeat!
……

After a long circle in the ancient city, I finally brought Ye Zhi back to Jiulongju. The commercial street was still as deserted and dark as ever. Even after turning on the light on the phone, my eyes still blurred after a while. Only then did I get used to the darkness around me.

It wasn't until we entered the room and turned on the light that we really got rid of the coldness that had always been with us.

Ye Zhi sat on my bed, I poured her a cup of hot water, and then said to her: "The other shops are exactly the same structure as the one I live in now, there is only one bed inside, and the other decorations I don’t have anything, so I think it’s too empty...At present, I still have a little budget, so I want to add something to decorate.”

"If you don't have enough budget for this kind of small suite on the upper and lower floors, it will be difficult to achieve results."

"What is the sufficient budget you said?"

Ye Zhi looked at me and replied: "The budget I mentioned must have exceeded your ability, so I suggest that you better keep it simple, so as not to spend money in the end and produce a nondescript effect."

After Ye Zhi finished speaking, she stood up from the bed and walked around the room. She put her hand on an old-fashioned TV and said to me, "Is this TV a decoration?"

"I bought this from a buddy who repaired home appliances when I was visiting the ancient city the other day. I installed it with an antenna and it can reach Kunming TV...I'm currently using it to catch up on a TV series, so it's not really a decoration."

Ye Zhi looked at me in disbelief...

"I like black and white TV. Although the color is a little monotonous, it's simple, isn't it?"

Ye Zhi shook her head: "You're just nostalgic...but it's pretty good to use this kind of old-fashioned TV as a decoration, especially suitable for a room without decoration, because the tone is old, so psychologically, you don't have too high requirements. It can be regarded as one of the more flattering decorations."

"I've learned...then I'll buy a few more TVs like this and make a room with a nostalgic theme."

"It's best not to choose this soft decoration style."

"why?"

Ye Zhi replied: "Nostalgic style is not suitable for hotels and inns. Coffee shops generally use it more, because coffee shops sell feelings, while hotels sell quality and style of accommodation... I think you should take these out. The unit price of the room sold for one night is not cheap, right?"

"One thousand and five."

"This is the price of a business double room in a five-star hotel... You must not be able to provide the service of a five-star hotel, so you have to pay more attention to the quality of accommodation."

"Well... Although I only rented these shops for a month, I didn't treat them as a one-off deal, because I was still dreaming of an inn in my heart, so I tried my best to treat everyone who came here to shop with sincerity. ...make them feel they are getting their money's worth."

Speaking of this, I smiled and asked Ye Zhi: "During the Chinese New Year, will your hotel increase prices according to changes in supply and demand?"

"It depends on the city. If it is a first-tier tourist city like Sanya, we will cancel the usual discounts during the Chinese New Year."

"This is also a price increase in disguise...because there are discounts for most of the year, and your prices are generally inflated."

"Well, this is a marketing method... High-end hotels pay special attention to their brand image, so they generally don't follow suit to raise prices during holidays. Canceling discounts is indeed a disguised price increase, but they don't feel bad about raising prices on the ground. Guests It's relatively easy to accept."

When Ye Zhi said this, her eyes stayed on the glass bottle I used to hold the leaves... She asked me: "Do these leaves have any special meaning? Why are they packed in glass bottles? "

"I asked Dai Qiang to pick this up from the Champs Elysees..."

Ye Zhi smiled, and asked again: "Making decorations? Or do you think it's a kind of romance?"

"It's a decoration now, and it can be used for romance in the future."

I was obviously joking and looking for entertainment, but Ye Zhi didn't take it seriously, she said to me after a moment of silence: "I have a suggestion... you can really use these leaves and make them into Decorations, placed in the room."

After thinking about it for a while, I understood Ye Zhi's meaning: "You mean, I can make the room into the theme of the Champs Elysees Avenue?"

"Well, these leaves are the best decorations, they will make people feel very close, and they will also enhance the style of your entire room..."

Before Ye Zhi finished speaking, I pointed to the white wall and said, "If I hang an extra-large mural with the street scene of the Champs Elysees here... plus these leaves that I actually picked up from there , Isn’t it very time-traveling feeling?”

"Yes... Actually, the decoration is not difficult, the premise is that you have to have ideas."

I smiled and said: "That's right, that's right, I feel enlightened now, and I know how to do a good job in furnishing..." After a short pause, I excitedly said to Ye Zhi: "In the future, if I still If you are an inn, you can collect some meaningful and inexpensive things from all over the world, and then make different exotic themes in the room... This feeling is really great, as if you have already played all over the world."

"Good idea."

As soon as I got excited, I said to Ye Zhi again: "You often go abroad, so you can do me this favor... Just like the last time you went to Bali, if you picked up some shells for me, wouldn't that be my idea?" Is it easy to achieve!!"

Just as soon as I said it, I regretted it a little. Although such a thing seems not difficult, it takes a lot of heart to persist in doing it. Why should I ask Ye Zhi to do these trivial things for my own career and ideas? What about paying?

When I was thinking this way, Ye Zhi rubbed her nose and sneezed...

I just realized that her body was soaked by the rain...

I hurriedly changed the subject and said to her, "Take a hot bath first, and I'll make you some ginger tea...or you'll catch a cold."

"It's okay, I'll go back to the hotel to wash... There is no change of clothes here."

"Alright, then I'll take you back now."

When I said this, Ye Zhi and I subconsciously looked outside the house, but didn't think that the rain was much heavier than before, and the wind was also stronger... and cars were not allowed to drive into the ancient city , can only walk, judging by Ye Zhi's current appearance, even if she is holding an umbrella, she will inevitably catch a cold, because it is really cold and wet outside...
