Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 737 Wanghai Tower

It was an unbearably hot day, especially after boarding Qiong Island, which is closer to the equator.

Although it was almost dusk now, the fiery red light was still hot, and there was a clear burning sensation on the skin.

There is no shortage of cars in Qiongdao at the moment. The administrative district will definitely not be stingy with cars that can be reserved for personal use and generate profits in compliance with the policy. After Li Jiankun and others landed on the island, it was easy to get two cars outside the port. taxi.

Now, two black Nissan cars, one behind the other, were taking them on the main road into Haikou city, bathed in the sunset.

This is the only serious road they have seen so far.

Other than that, it seems to be a sandy road. According to the well-dressed young driver, the bridge across the Nandu River was built in my childhood forty years ago.

The front car where Li Jiankun was sitting had all four windows open, and the warm wind with a salty smell rushed in. It interacted with the sweat on the body and brought some cooling comfort.

Li Jiankun walked through the car window and had a panoramic view of the basic features of Qiongdao in this era.

One word evaluation: poor.

The overall poverty on the island and these brand-new imported cars form a strong contrast, making people feel ridiculous, just like... entering a primitive village, who would have thought that there are actually aircraft and cannons parked inside.

"If you ask me, who should I ask?"

They don't know what this is like until now.

After entering the urban area of ​​Haikou, the poverty and backwardness has changed somewhat.

The hotel lobby is magnificent, spacious and bright, with a glass patio and marble floors.

The driver said they didn't make a reservation in advance, which was quite surprising.

That is the destination of Li Jiankun and the others. The place where they are going to stay is called "Wanghai International Hotel". It just opened this year. The locals affectionately call it "Wanghai Tower" because it is twelve stories high. , and some people directly call it "twelfth floor".

This all-white, 12-story hotel stands out like a flock of chickens in the center of the city. It is said that you can have a panoramic view of the sea in the distance without climbing to the top, hence its name.

Perhaps it is because this main road at the entrance to the sea is well built, less dusty, and easy to walk. The flat areas along both sides of the asphalt road are filled with densely packed cars, stretching as far as the eye can see. The paint surface reflects the rays of the setting sun, making it colorful, sparkling and spectacular.

In one location in the city, there is a building with more than ten floors that stands out.

Three-word evaluation: Really poor.

Haixiu Road, Wanghai International Hotel.

Today, no more than in the past, the number of wealthy people on the island is gradually increasing.

"what happened?"

Li Jiankun smiled and didn't reply. It wasn't that he didn't book in advance, but Lin Xinjia couldn't book a few days in advance. Because of this situation, he had to book a room inside to facilitate subsequent activities.

It is a new landmark in Haikou, the most magnificent building and the most high-end hotel on the island.

Whenever a building with more than three floors appears in the field of vision, it is considered a landmark building. Most of them are bungalows, tile-roofed houses and adobe houses.

Lenders and remittances were all doing secret activities on the island. He didn't need Lin Xinjia's intelligence to imagine that Wanghai Tower was definitely the largest information distribution center and business negotiation place.

Ran Zi and Ye Xiujie, who were in the same car, were already dumbfounded.

The two people huddled in the back row and whispered, glancing to the side from time to time, hoping that the Fugui brothers could give them an answer. However, although the two brothers had heard a little news before coming, the reality before them was far beyond their imagination. They were also quite confused.

As soon as Wanghai Tower opened, it became a gathering place for famous businessmen and businessmen traveling to and from the island. It was also a favorite place for overseas Chinese to stay in their hometowns. In addition, for island residents, going to Wanghai Tower for consumption has also become a new fashion. There are all kinds of facilities inside. It is one of the few Western restaurants on the island, and its morning tea is also a must. It is an extremely beautiful thing to hold a wedding banquet in Wanghai Tower.

Li Jiankun and his entourage walked in with their bags, attracting the attention of most people in the lobby. The ten of them came to the island, just like the Wanghai Tower to the surrounding buildings.

The seven Ran Zi people are all from Hong Kong. Their clothing and temperament are obviously different from the people in the mainland. Li Jiankun, not to mention, is a wealthy brother who has lived in a villa in the middle of the mountain. The seven Ran Zi people still don’t know the three names. The people are from the mainland.

"How many of you are there? Are you looking for accommodation? Do you have a reservation?"

"No."

"Then...I'm sorry, there is no room available."

When they came to the front desk of the lobby, a good-looking waitress looked at their posture and asked questions.

"Not even one?" Zhang Fu, who works part-time to handle trivial matters, asked with a frown.

"Not even one."

Ye Xiujie and Ah Sheng looked at each other and secretly expressed their dissatisfaction with their eyes. It had been a tough day. The weather was still hot and everyone was exhausted. Obviously the driver and master had reminded them that there was no advance reservation here and there was almost no reservation. Maybe he's staying temporarily, but a certain young man doesn't believe in evil.

Now let's see what they can do.

This is not a port city. Even if the bodyguard tells the name of his family or group company, there is a high probability that no one will know it.

Zhang Fu turned to look at Li Jiankun, who said to the waitress: "Is your manager here?"

"It's useless to ask for a manager." The waitress has seen similar things happen many times. Now it's hard to find a room in Wanghai Building. I don't know how many people want to move in. But if the room is given to you, doesn't it mean that you will offend those who booked it? guest? The manager doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.

Besides, there are ten people in front of us, and we can't even get three or two rooms.

"Whether it works or not is my business," Li Jiankun said with a smile, half seriously and half jokingly, "If we leave today, it will be your hotel's loss. If the manager is held accountable later, girl, you can't afford it. "

The waitress looked him up and down with an uncertain expression: "Then, please wait a moment."

Behind him, Ah Sheng bit Ye Xiujie's ear and said, "Brother Jie, if nothing else, this young master still has some airs. We really can't learn from him."

Ye Xiujie rolled his eyes and said, "It's just bragging. Hotels like this in the mainland must be state-owned. How can people be afraid of him? See what he can do if he calls the manager. Don't be stupid and just stuff money into him."

The manager was called over, a plump middle-aged man wearing a white shirt and black trousers. Li Jiankun came to the side of the front desk to talk to him. His own people behind him and the three waitresses at the counter stared at them.

Li Jiankun took out a plain white business card and handed it over.

The name of the business card is Huaqiang Swire Bank, specially prepared for this bank.

The manager took it over and took a quick look. After seeing at first glance that he was from a bank, he didn't take it seriously at all. There were not too many people from the four major banks from different places staying in their hotel. However, when he looked up, I was a little confused as I had never heard of what kind of bank this was.

"We are a foreign-funded bank in Pengcheng Special Economic Zone." Li Jiankun saw his confusion and explained in a voice that could be heard by two people.

"Oh?"

"Compared to domestic banks, we don't have much else, but we have no shortage of foreign exchange. I heard that there is a huge demand on the island. Come and take a look..."

The manager's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought about it, thinking about it, foreign banks must have no shortage of foreign exchange. With the current situation on the island, it can be said that everyone wants foreign exchange, and he wants it too. Because even if you get approvals and loans, they are still useless. Only foreign exchange can be used as the purchase price of imported cars.

The two of them moved their heads a little closer and murmured something. After a while, they separated, with smiles on their faces.

“I can only squeeze out two rooms, and there’s nothing I can do about more.”

"alright."

The three waitresses at the counter were surprised. The words were not hidden, they all heard them, and they were actually given two rooms.

Behind him, Ah Sheng bit Ye Xiujie's ear and said, "Oh, it's really done. I didn't see any money."

He didn't express what Ye Xiujie was thinking. He curled his lips and said, "What's the use of two rooms? There's no room for so many of us."

When Zhang Fu was checking in, Li Jiankun came to Ran Zi and said, "There are two double rooms with air conditioning. Four men and three women can squeeze in. It's just enough room for you."

Ran Zi was startled and asked, "What about you?"

"Let's rent a private house nearby."

"what?!"

Hearing this, not only Ran Zi was confused, but so were Ye Xiujie and others.

Opening a hotel for them to stay and renting private houses for them is still the behavior of a wealthy young man?
The seven people in the second business team noticed for the first time that the person in front of them was a little different.

Li Jiankun looked at Ran Zi's moved expression and said, "You have a mission to live here."

"Your orders." Ran Zi nodded.

Li Jiankun waved, walked aside, gathered the people from the second business team together, glanced at them and said: "I know you have always wanted to ask me what I am doing here, and I am going to let you find the answer yourself.

"I believe that after you landed on the island, you have discovered some weird things on the island.

"I'm telling you now, all mysteries can be solved in this hotel. It's full of guests and brings together people from all over the world, with different purposes. What you have to do is to integrate into the circle inside the hotel. Gather business information yourself.

"I'll give you one day, and I'll come back tomorrow night to see how much you gain."

This move is not only to train the second business team and let them get involved in this matter, but also to divide the work and cooperate. Li Jiankun has other things to do.

It is not easy to reverse a large amount of money.

Let’s talk about an obvious difficulty: How to transport cash that needs to be packed in sacks? How to transport large amounts of foreign exchange?

Li Jiankun's plan has not yet been fully formed and needs to be gradually improved after on-site inspections.

"That is to say, those cars must be involved in something big, so there is a group of people with complex identities gathered in the most upscale hotel on the island. We need to find a way to integrate into their circle and explore bank-related business ourselves?" Ran Zi said indeed.

This girl is very smart. Li Jiankun smiled and nodded: "This is a test for you. After all, I just met you and I don't know much about you. This incident can show some of your abilities."

When it comes to personal ability, none of the seven people present wants to lag behind.

No matter what happens to this young master, he will definitely be able to speak up in the group company and show his ability in front of him, which will be very beneficial.

The seven people responded together, with high morale.
