Lost eight hundred million at the beginning

Arriving in Suzhou City Industrial Park, I walked through the plots that were about to be released, and chatted with the person in charge of the local management committee. Lin Ruoyan still felt that she could consider opening a hotel by the lake.

There will be more business activities and exhibitions in this area in the future. Domestic businessmen now live in lower-grade places. Most of the overseas guests stay in some old four- and five-star hotels in the old city. By the way, visit the Jiangnan Garden in the old city, or the west Those lakes and mountains.

The landscape construction of the JinJ Lake has not yet started. People can see the lake when they come, and they can only see the lakeside scenery.

The conditions here are much better than Zhang Huanyu's hometown, the key is not to worry about the source of customers.The existing hotels are old and do not match the fast-paced and real needs of business guests.

Business people may go on a short-distance business trip for a day or two. What they need is a comfortable sleeping environment, and they may not necessarily stay in a hotel during the day.Then the function of eating, drinking, playing and nightlife may be compressed, and it tends to be more like a city hotel.Even if it is built by the lake, the main purpose is not to relax, but to sleep peacefully.

There is another type of guests who want to stay here for ten days and a half months. They come to inspect the factory, participate in exhibitions, negotiate or keep an eye on the progress of the project.Renting a house in an old town or an orthodox residential area, it is not convenient to come here every day.

In order to save commuting time, most of them can only succumb to budget hotels and rent them for a month or ten days.That kind of hotel doesn't even have a washing machine or a refrigerator, and the traditional washing of a piece of clothing in the hotel is very expensive.If you rent a private house, people will not rent it if the time is too short.In fact, if you rent it, you won’t be able to use too many other functions. You only need to bathe and do laundry, and occasionally cook by yourself. If no one cleans up, it will be very troublesome.Moreover, there is no security and other property services in residential buildings, and it is not convenient to call a car to park.

Lin Ruoyan often travels on business in the real world, and has stayed in various types of hotels. She immediately thought of what type of hotel she was going to develop here.

She wants to be a high-end business hotel, the kind that can receive foreign guests.

What this kind of hotel needs is a boutique and small-scale cafeteria, but it does not have a large banquet hall.Meetings could be considered, but only on a small scale. SPA, hot springs, swimming pools and other functions that are expensive to maintain are not considered, and only the gym is used. The fashionable and modern fitness equipment is put away, and there must be a self-service laundry room next to it, with one-stop washing and drying.Guests who stayed for more than ten days waited for their clothes to be washed, chatted about working out, or drank coffee in the nearby cafeteria and lobby.

Both the cafeteria and the cafeteria as well as the lobby can be integrated.The scale is similar to that of courtyard homestays, and the entire area is under control.The above functions are all arranged on the first floor.The waiting area in the lobby does not need to be too luxurious. The check-in staff at the front desk realized that the most important thing is to be proficient in multiple foreign languages.

Starting from the second floor, they are all guest rooms. There are about a hundred rooms, not standard rooms, but all single rooms with double beds.

The rooms are decorated in a standardized way. The expensive things are in the bedding and bathroom. The room must have an interface for internet and laptop use, as well as a countertop for office work. This does not require a good desk. The boss desk is just a board. mesa.

LCD TVs are still relatively rare in this era. She wants to get an LCD TV here, which can be connected to a computer and used as an external screen.The cost of the entire room is not lower than that of ordinary business suites, and the money is mainly spent on improving sleep experience and office convenience.In fact, the size of the room does not need to be evaluated according to the evaluation criteria of a five-star hotel, it is too big.The same total building area would be good if there are more rooms.

There have long been high-end hotels in the industrial park that are rated for stars. She wants to differentiate and become a top new type of business hotel in China.

Lin Ruoyan has stayed in such a hotel in reality, and it is more comfortable than any traditional standard business room.In that kind of traditional hotel room, there are big TVs, sofas and coffee tables that I don’t watch at all, but I can’t find an office table with a suitable height and power network cable that can be used for office work.

There is no need for the big bathtub in the bathing set, and the shower is too small and uncomfortable.Her hotel needs a giant shower head with a full range shower, smart toilets and all.Coupled with a mattress that fits the human body and memory foam pillows, the bedding pursues that you can fall asleep when you lie down, so that guests who recognize the bed can relax instantly.

After finalizing the deal with the management committee, Lin Ruoyan took a hotel plot by the lake and roughly talked about the price. She accepted it and waited for the contract to pay in the future.This is the project that added Su City to the southern region, and Lu Gan will be asked to carry out specific work later.

Cui Xuan stayed in his own factory in the park after finishing the conversation with him.Lin Ruoyan took the company's car back to Hangzhou together. On the way, she explained her thoughts. As migrant workers, of course everyone yearned for the hotel she described.

In the past, traditional hotels, guest houses and so on may only adapt to the previous pace of business.Times have changed, needs have changed, and what people on business trips want has also changed.

In addition, the design department has actually accumulated a lot of experience in hotel design. Lin Ruoyan returned to Beijing and took the headquarters to hold a conference call with the design department in Hangzhou. She talked about her thoughts on business hotels, and Zhao Xingxing immediately thought of it. An overseas design firm is very suitable for this project.

Zhao Xingxing said: "That firm is helping us with the country Y boutique hotel project. The project over there has already been completed, but there is no rush to start construction and construction. The efficiency is much lower than that in China, and the construction period is at least one year. They can undertake it there. Mr. Li is also investigating the construction company."

"Oh, the work is slow and we are slow to pay according to the progress. Foreigners are like that, let it take its course." Lin Ruoyan has seen some estimates of the cost department's financial expenses in country Y, and she feels that she will allocate funds every month A few million is still no problem, and you can also consider finding a local hotel management company to cooperate with.She specifically communicated with Li Yiqi on the phone, and Li Yiqi was also inspired.

Li Yiqi felt that it would be better to find a suitable hotel company from the beginning than to pay for the hotel to be built by himself. They will deliver the house, and the specific interior decoration can be done according to the hotel's own management needs.They just use real estate to invest in shares.If there is no local company in overseas business, it is easy to be wronged.

Lin Ruoyan knew that Li Yiqi was very business-minded, so she let her go.

Back to the matter of these hotels in China, she then asked: "Xingxing, Mengmeng, do you think we have so many hotels now, three courtyard homestays have been opened, one designer hotel, Yicheng and Hangcheng The city boutique hotel is about to open. In the future, there will be Wang Min's hotel in XX New City, the hotel in Chong L, and the hotel near Suzhou Industrial Park that will be built soon. Is it necessary to come up with a new hotel series management? Is there a way?"

Zhao Xingxing said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, you are embarrassing me. I know the way these hotels are designed, and I can tell the difference in their functions. As for the management, I am really an amateur. Mr. Hua, tell me quickly. The internal training a few days ago, the idea you were talking about with us was pretty good."

"Mengmeng, if you have any ideas, tell me quickly." Lin Ruoyan knew that no matter whether she came to work or not, the company held training every Friday, and people from different departments talked about some projects in their departments or shared their experiences.

Hua Mengmeng's management here is all about the hotel and some external liaison matters. Inspired by Lin Ruoyan, she has already started to conceive the hotel business layout.

Now she no longer hides her clumsiness, and said frankly: "Mr. Lin, just relying on our own hotel and engaging in internal membership, the customer base is still small. I plan to cooperate with other single-building hotels that are similar in size or smaller than us. Talk to the person in charge and organize a hotel alliance. It may not be appropriate to engage in too many categories at the beginning, and people don’t believe it. Then we will divide them into sub-categories, such as the category of leisure resorts, the category of B&Bs, and business hotels , Urban boutique hotels. We gather together to form a tower, connect the source of customers, and turn it into a membership system, so that guests can use membership to get discounts when they travel or do business in China."

"Then what benefits can we seek as membership initiators?" Lin Ruoyan deliberately tested her.
