Can you be called a rich man if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 122 What Young Model Party? Silver Pop!

“It’s already been paid.”

As Xu Ying turned around and told him, the lobby manager of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel also said respectfully: "Thank you very much, Mr. Gu, for choosing our Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

The Presidential Suite you are staying in is located on the 117th floor, the highest room in Hong Kong Island and the second highest room in the world.

We are honored to have you here and hope that our service will give you a different stay experience. ”

The hotel receptionist, including Zheng Jiayi next to him, followed the lobby manager's movements and bowed slightly.
There were still many people resting in the hotel reception lobby. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but cast their eyes over here. They were all more or less envious. After all, only a few people could afford to stay in a presidential suite that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a night, even in Hong Kong Island where rich people were everywhere.
Feeling the gazes from all around, Gu Heng politely thanked the lobby manager and said to Zheng Jiayi, "Miss Zheng, please take me to the room first."

"Okay, Mr. Gu, this way please."

Okay
I don’t know what the room will be like yet, but the stay experience is pretty good so far.

Previously, they defended themselves and drove away customers, and now they are making such a grand event.
At least in terms of emotional value, the 120,000 was not wasted.

Following Zheng Jiayi to the 117th floor, when the elevator door opened, a huge observation deck appeared in front of us.
Outside the window was a huge harbor. In Gu Heng's eyes, the huge ferry looked like a miniature model, swimming slowly on the sea. Occasionally, a whole flock of seagulls flew across the sea, as beautiful as a painting.
"Mr. Gu, we are now at an altitude of 550 meters, which is also the highest point in Hong Kong.

Compared to the 100th floor observation deck which requires a ticket to enter, the scenery on the 117th floor is obviously more magnificent. You don’t need to face the noisy crowd on this floor because no one can get past the hotel security to the 117th floor, not even the Chief Executive. You only need to quietly hold a glass of champagne to feel the charm of the century-old Hong Kong Island.

When you stand here and look out, the entire Victoria Harbour belongs to you.”

The tallest hotel I stayed in before was 230 Sky Hotel
The hotel is located 230 meters away.

This time it more than doubled, from 230 meters to 550 meters.
The experience has indeed improved a lot
Especially Zheng Jiayi's introduction, which is even more exciting.
What does it mean to be on top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains?

This is what it means to have a panoramic view of the mountains!

Why do many wealthy people not like big villas and estates, but instead like to buy their own apartment suites in various high-rise buildings?
Gu Heng didn’t understand before
It was not until this moment that Gu Heng understood
Isn’t it just the joy of this moment?

"Mr. Gu, have you seen the port on the other side of Victoria Harbour? That's the Shenzhen Waterway. It may not be clear from this perspective, but there is a special viewing telescope in the presidential suite. You can use it to take a look when the time comes."

When Gu Heng heard this, he couldn't help but look back at her: "Hong Kong Island is so close to Shenzhen?"

"Yes, the straight-line distance is only about 30 kilometers. The cross-sea bridge connects Hong Kong Island and Shenzhen."

I have heard that Shenzhen and Hong Kong Island are very close before, but today is the first time I know that they are so ridiculously close.
30 km
I drove 30 kilometers from my hometown to the city.
Useless knowledge has increased again.
Zheng Jiayi did not disturb Gu Heng's interest until Gu Heng looked out for more than a minute before looking away.

Only then did Zheng Jiayi dare to continue the next process, still with that respectful smile on her face: "Mr. Gu, shall I take you to visit the suite first?"

Seeing Gu Heng nod, Zheng Jiayi led the way again.

After opening the door with the exquisite room card, Zheng Jiayi changed to a more respectful tone.
"Mr. Gu, welcome home."

The concept of "home" has always been the core concept of all hotels around the world. As Gu Heng's personal butler, Zheng Jiayi's welcome home is not out of place.
When you push open the door, you see a luxurious living and dining room with a huge round table in the center.

"Please allow me to introduce you. This is your living room and dining room, which is specially used for Chinese meals. You and your friends can enjoy the exquisite food prepared by the chef of Tianlongxuan Chinese Restaurant here."

Gu Heng didn't say anything, but just listened quietly to Zheng Jiayi's introduction.

Xu Ying, dragging a small suitcase, followed Gu Heng quietly, looking at Zheng Jiayi with a flickering look in her eyes.
Have to admit it.
Zheng Jiayi's professionalism is much higher than mine
It's like a carefully tuned robot.
His tone, manners and other aspects were impeccable. For example, if it were me, I would probably just introduce myself directly.

But Zheng Jiaxin added a question in advance
This is a very typical Western-style butler service.
Thinking of this, Xu Ying couldn't help but ask, "Miss Zheng should be a professional private housekeeper, right?"

Although there is no need to put Xu Ying on the same level as Gu Heng, Xu Ying is still a client of their hotel anyway. Zheng Jiayi quickly replied: "I don't know how the mainland defines the profession of private butler.

But in Hong Kong Island, being a butler is a very serious profession.

I graduated from the British Butler College. After returning to China, I took a four-month butler service course at Hong Kong Island University. After going through layers of screening, I was able to become one of the exclusive private butlers of the Ritz-Carlton Presidential Suite. "

I can tell
Zheng Jiayi is very proud of her experience.
This is the basic difference between Western consciousness and Eastern consciousness, and Hong Kong Island is actually not much different from Western society.
In China, most people think that the profession of housekeeper is inferior to others. After all, in the cultural tradition of thousands of years, the word "housekeeper" has always been a servant of a wealthy family.
But in the West, values ​​are another system.
They don't think it's shameful to be a housekeeper or maid for others, provided they are paid enough.
This is why the West is said to be a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor.
Because rich people can enjoy everything
But the poor are only worthy of services.

But now, China seems to be moving in this direction. Even the saying that people laugh at poverty but not at prostitution is accepted, which is enough to explain the problem.
"Okay, let's chat later. Let's check out the room first."

"Ok."

Zheng Jiayi responded immediately
Xu Ying also continued to follow Gu Heng in silence, silently thanking
Fortunately, I met Gu Heng in advance, otherwise, with Gu Heng's mentality of not being short of money, Zheng Jiayi might have been poached.
After simply showing Gu Heng around the room, Zheng Jiayi pushed open a door and said softly, "Mr. Gu, this is your room.

After nightfall, the 270-degree viewing window allows you to fully appreciate the scenery of Victoria Harbour! "

Looking at the decoration in the room, which was still the same luxurious decoration with golden splendor, Gu Heng even ignored the scenery outside the window and finally couldn't help asking: "Is all your hotels in this style?"

Zheng Jiayi was stunned, and seemed to notice a hint of dissatisfaction in Gu Heng's tone, and asked quickly: "Mr. Gu, don't you like this style?"

Gu Heng waved his hand: "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that this style is a bit too solemn. I prefer a more relaxed style."

Ritz-Carlton hotels are luxurious
But this aesthetic is indeed a bit too KTV-like
After hearing what Gu Heng said, Zheng Jiayi could only smile bitterly and said, "I'm sorry that I couldn't satisfy Gu Heng, but the decoration style of our Ritz-Carlton has been continued for decades.
And to be honest, it’s not just our hotel, almost all high-end hotels in Hong Kong Island are of this style.

As for why.
Maybe it's a historical issue.
After all, you know the history of Hong Kong Island. The high-end hotels were originally built to please the Westerners who came to colonize Hong Kong. Later, a style may have gradually formed. But I have received your suggestion. We will communicate this matter with the hotel afterwards. I hope the hotel management will pay attention to it and make changes. "

Respect can
But respecting too much is hypocritical.
Communicate with hotel executives.
Gu Heng didn't believe that his opinion as a single guest could lead Marriott Group to renovate the presidential suite.

"Okay, we're almost done shopping, so that's it."

I can't say I'm satisfied, nor can I say I'm dissatisfied. As for the hotel service, I can barely accept the price of 00 per night. However, the hotel facilities are a bit retro, which is not acceptable to my post-s aesthetic.
And still small
Gu Heng couldn't help but ask Zheng Jiayi, "How big is your presidential suite?"

"3900 square feet, which is about 400 square meters."

No wonder I feel small.
400 square meters?
The large flat I bought in Hangzhou is 600 square meters, which is 1.5 times the size of this one.
If it was a suite in an ordinary hotel, it would be fine. But this is a presidential suite that costs 12 per night.
Thinking of this, Gu Heng smiled and shook his head.

Zheng Jiayi also started to explain: "Mr. Gu, you are from the mainland, so you may not know much about the situation in Hong Kong Island. Since there are too many people and too little land in Hong Kong Island, the housing supply is no longer enough for the current residents.
I had a friend in the mainland who thought that the so-called 90-square-foot mansions that we often see are very large. But in fact, a -square-foot mansion is only about square meters. In the mainland, any two-bedroom apartment is larger than a -square-foot mansion.
Therefore, a 400-square-meter presidential suite is already very spacious, and it is difficult for ordinary people in Hong Kong Island, or even ordinary wealthy people, to own one."

After listening to Zheng Jiayi's words, Gu Heng's yearning for Hong Kong Island also decreased a bit.
I always heard people say that the average income of Hong Kong Islanders is several hundred thousand. Gu Heng thought these people were living a godly life.
It seems that those who earn hundreds of thousands are no different from me who earn tens of thousands.
My house, which costs 1200 yuan a month, is about square meters.
Knew it.
If you don’t go out and see more, you really don’t know the diversity of the world.
After introducing to Gu Heng again how to use some of the hotel's facilities, Zheng Jiayi knew that she should give up her private space to Gu Heng and asked the last question.

"Mr. Gu, do you still need the hotel's turndown service?"

Gu Heng: “???”

Turndown service?

What kind of service is this?
This name is very imaginative.
Has Hong Kong Island been assimilated so much by capitalism?
That's not right either
Gu Heng had searched before coming here, and prostitution is also illegal in Hong Kong Island.
A well-known hotel like Ritz-Carlton would not disregard its high-end reputation and do such a pimping thing.
Seeing Gu Heng's puzzled expression and not speaking, Zheng Jiayi continued, "Originally, the night bed service was a service provided by the presidential suite, but since you brought a personal secretary with you, I guess you are more accustomed to the service of people around you, so I wanted to ask you about it so as not to cause misunderstandings and disturb your rest."

Listen to Zheng Jiayi's words.
Gu Heng was even more certain that this service seemed not very decent.
Otherwise, why wouldn’t you provide services if you brought your own personal secretary?

Xu Ying really wanted to tell Zheng Jiayi that she could provide the night bed service herself, but as a personal secretary, she certainly could not make decisions for her boss, so she could only look at Gu Heng.

"What is turndown service? Can you describe it to me?"

After a slight hesitation, Gu Heng couldn't help but ask.
It's not shameful either.
Gu Heng believes that most people don't know what the hell night bed service is.
Zheng Jiayi explained with a smile: "The night bed service exists in most hotels in Hong Kong Island. It mainly requires the waiter to arrange your room, bed, sofa and other places to the most suitable state for rest. Because the current state is for showing beauty, there is no way to give you the most comfortable experience.

Most hotels charge for this service, but we at Ritz-Carlton do not."

Gu Heng: “?”

"That's it?"

Oh shit
I waited in vain
I also believed in the evil of these high-end hotels.
Blame myself too.
I've suffered so much and I still can't remember it.

Half of these high-end restaurants, high-end hotels, and any high-end places have very attentive service, and the other half, although equally attentive, are just taking off their pants to fart.
Such a nice and ambiguous name
Turndown service
What a fantastic service name.
The result is to help yourself make the sheets?
Isn’t this bullying an honest person? !
Don’t I have hands? Can these waiters even arrange a flower?

Thinking of this, Gu Heng waved his hand disinterestedly: "No need, I can do it myself."

She didn't know why Gu Heng showed such a disappointed expression, but when she heard Gu Heng said no, she no longer insisted and asked with a smile: "Mr. Gu, do you have any other instructions? If not, I won't disturb you from enjoying your private time.

If you need anything else, you can let me know. I will solve your problem as soon as possible, no matter what time it is. "

"No other questions, but could you please change the name of your hotel's turndown service to room service like in the mainland?"

"what?"

Zheng Jiayi didn't understand what Gu Heng meant at first.
But thinking about Gu Heng's expression just now, she, who had served countless male customers, quickly guessed that Gu Heng must have misunderstood.
But the next second, Zheng Jiayi thought of a way to make up for it.
First, he said politely, "Mr. Gu, I have received your suggestion. I will report it to the hotel's top management later."

Then he continued, "We often hold young model parties in Hong Kong Island. I wonder if you are interested, Mr. Gu? If you have any needs in this area, I can help you reserve a seat for the young model party through the hotel's channels."

"Young model party?"

"Yes, 'Nenmo' is the name for models in Cantonese. It is actually a kind of business social cocktail party. There will be many rich young men of the same age as you, Mr. Gu, at the party."

People in Hong Kong are quite polite in their speech.
The second generation of rich people are the second generation of rich people.
He also became a wealthy man.
The most hateful thing is this so-called "young model party"!

It's ridiculous that Gu Heng doesn't even bother to complain. What good can a group of rich second-generations and a group of young models from Hong Kong do?
Party?

Silver pop is right!

Damn capitalism, how long have I been on the land of capital? And it has begun to corrode my unshakable determination to build a new China?
When he thought of this, Gu Heng looked determined as if he was going to join the party and said to Zheng Jiayi, "Please arrange a seat for me."

"Okay, I'll help you communicate."

It is impossible for Gu Heng, a fifth-generation poor peasant and a red and expert successor of socialism, to be tempted by such vulgar tastes.

The simple intention is to penetrate the enemy and start to disintegrate from within!
