I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 34 A lifelong friend
After I filled out the relevant information on the application form, I handed it over to Bai Lu, and then asked, "Which aspects will the expert group mainly evaluate when they come here? We can prepare in advance."

"The most important thing is to evaluate the inn's ability to treat sewage, then the service quality, as well as some hardware and software facilities of the hotel. In short, we will examine the small details that can improve Dali's tourism image and reputation, so we can If we can make the tourist experience as good as possible, the hope will be greater.”

"Then let's go step by step, first find channels to buy sewage treatment equipment."

Bai Lu nodded and replied: "Well, let me handle this matter. Recently, many factories that make sewage treatment equipment have approached our bureau, hoping to cooperate with us and push the equipment to these inns that need to be rectified. They talk, and they should be able to get a big discount."

Tie Nan said with emotion: "It's really convenient to have someone in our team who can talk to outsiders!...Bai Lu, let me tell you the truth, if you don't want to come in and work with us, after this inn takes over, we will It is also intended to be transferred again, and then it will be fine to make a difference in the middle."

"How smart you are!"

"I'll take it as if you're complimenting me."

"I'm definitely not belittling you. It's really impossible to do business, especially inn business in Dali, if you don't have a bit of shrewdness."

Tie Nan smiled and didn't speak any more, but I don't dislike his shrewdness, because the team really needs such a well-rounded person to grasp the direction of the inn's future development.I just feel that the impression that Tetsuo gave me when we first met at this time has changed a little. Behind his seemingly muddle-headed appearance, there is a keenness to capture market changes.However, if you think about it again, this is quite reasonable. If he is really a muddleheaded person, how could he still receive water and electricity from the nearby farmer's house after the inn was forcibly closed, and then accept individual tourists like me? Arrived at the inn?

Therefore, he has the desire to make money.

Looking at Director Ma again, the image of this guy in my mind is still the same as before. He doesn't like to express his opinions, and he is content with the status quo, as if he can live any kind of life.I think that the team also needs such a person to stabilize the morale of the army in times of crisis.

……

After chatting for a while, Bai Lu made desserts and passion fruit tea for us to satisfy our hunger. When she shared these with us, she said: "By the way, I suggest that we recruit a young girl at the front desk first. If the inn can really In fact, it will be very busy to resume business in November, and now I can recruit her in advance, so I can send her to a friend’s five-star hotel for training, and then I won’t have to rush around, and the service level can keep up.”

I asked, "Are you sure you'll be busy once you open? There won't be a transition period?"

Director Ma, who doesn't like to express opinions, replied to me instead of Bai Lu at this time: "If the business is still deserted after the resumption of business, why are you desperately grabbing these 30 places? Let me tell you, half of the tourists are rushing. I stayed at the Seaview Inn in Dali! This year, due to the closure of the Seaview Inn, the number of tourists in Dali has also dropped by a third. How scary do you think? By November, there were only [-] Seaview Inns The inn resumes business, I'm afraid you wish you could have a hundred rooms to accommodate tourists!"

I nodded, shocked in my heart.

Tie Nan also said: "I also tend to recruit a front desk now, but it must have a good image and good temperament. When the so-called expert group comes to evaluate, it will also increase an impression point. After all, the front desk knows the inn. The first window in Dali, and the labor cost here in Dali is not high, if you provide her with food and accommodation, a salary of 500 yuan a month is enough."

I haven’t completely broken away from the thinking of big cities, so I feel incredible. If it is in Shanghai, a room can be sold for 500 yuan in a hotel. If you hire a front desk, you will have a basic salary of 4000 yuan, plus business commissions. .

It is no wonder that so many people are willing to come to Dali to open a hotel, because the room can be sold at a high price, but the labor cost is very low.However, because the tourism market here has been heating up in recent years, the housing prices have been fried up, so the people who invested here in the early days have already made a lot of money.From this point of view, this is not only a place where there is only literary life, but there are really a group of people who have given up life in the big city, and their lives have been sublimated in Dali.

At this time, Bai Lu said again: "In addition, the small bar we are building in the public area on the first floor also needs a waiter. I think we can recruit together."

I smiled and replied: "I have no opinion, but where should this recruitment information be posted?"

"You follow the community of Ai Dali on Douban. There are a lot of information on second-hand sales, house rental, and job hunting. You just take this opportunity to learn about Dali..." After a short pause, Bai Lu laughed again: "It's okay It's also very interesting to see the people fighting inside!"

"Is there still someone to fight? Dali shouldn't be amicable."

"Haha... Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are gangsters!"

Following Bai Lu's words, Director Ma also said to me: "Do you think that as long as this person arrives in Dali, he will be able to avoid shit and fart? ... Everyone eats whole grains, not as noble as you think, here Some of them are even more stupid than others.”

"Then what is the difference between Dali and other places? There must be an attractive reason for it?"

"You experience it yourself. What I tell you is only my understanding. You may not be able to buy it."

……

After the chat, Bai Lu went back to Shimonoseki, where Director Ma, Tie Nan and I each found a room to stay.And this is the first time since I came to Dali that I have my own independent space at night, and Tie Nan and Director Ma also gave me special care. They gave me the best sea view suite in the inn.

I think this sea view suite is no worse than the inn Ye Zhi stayed in in Ma Jiuyi in terms of view and decoration.Therefore, it is completely reasonable to sell 800 yuan a night, and it can even be said to be very cost-effective.

I tried to let myself learn to enjoy, so I lit a cigarette, lay on the soft chair on the platform, and then looked at the Erhai Lake and the speckled starry sky not far away...

At the beginning, I was very relaxed and happy, but gradually I felt a little sad...!
The reason why I can live in such a good room at this moment is because I spent the 19 yuan given by Wang Lei, but she didn't even have the chance to come here to see it...

I looked at another empty soft chair beside me, wishing that Wang Lei could enjoy this quiet night like me.

I was so stuck in this emotion that I couldn't extricate myself, and then I remembered some of the past between us.Remember: I just arrived in Shanghai at that time, and I was unfamiliar with the place, especially during festivals or birthdays, I always felt lonely, and she seemed to be able to see my loneliness, so she would always choose to eat with me during festivals a meal.

I was particularly impressed: that day was my first birthday in Shanghai, and it happened that a typhoon landed in Shanghai, and the whole city was in a mess. I was talking with a dealer in other places on the phone in this harsh environment Regarding the new product cooperation, I even forgot that it was my 24th birthday that night.

The moment I hung up the phone, looking at the raging wind outside the window and the streets full of stagnant water and garbage, I felt as uncomfortable as dying, because the loneliness that broke out in the harsh environment was too much. fierce!

And at that moment, Wang Lei stood beside me holding the cake...

She is not a woman who likes to be nasty and hypocritical, she just handed me the cake with a smile, then treated me to dinner, and took me to Fuqiao for a full-body massage. She didn't hurry until almost 12 o'clock Back to the night scene where I went to work.

Later, with Lu Jia as my girlfriend, she had less contact with me, and even during my birthday in the past two years, she didn't have dinner with me again, but the gift will definitely be delivered.

Thinking of these, I miss her even more, but I never have the chance to repay something.

My eye circles are a little moist...

……

After wiping my eye sockets with my hands, I took out my phone from my pocket and sent a WeChat message to Taozi (Wang Lei’s best friend, who also worked in the nightclub): “The day after tomorrow is Wang Lei’s birthday, remember to help I'll buy a bouquet of white roses and go see her."

After sending the information, I sent Taozi another 200 yuan red envelope.
