My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 795 Awesome, Right?
Only after turning the corner can you see that further into the intersection, there are two eight-story buildings painted in red and white and a more than ten-story building with a glass curtain wall, all trying their best to display the illuminated signs of "Hongguang Hotel" and "Baimao Business Hotel".

This immediately transformed the street into a hub for the hotel industry.

Li Xuehong showed no sign of pride: "After the Super 6 Hotel opened, we obtained the hotel management system of Wanmad Hotel Group. He Yuzhu led the team to make a Chinese version, and then copied a modified version of Hongguang Hotel. Now the Super 6 Hotel is 16 yuan, Hongguang Hotel is 9 yuan, and the decoration of Baimao Hotel is not yet completed. The proposed price is 43 yuan."

Wei Dong only proposed a concept for the Hongguang Hotel, leaving everything else to He Yuemei to lead the team to complete. Unexpectedly, the pace suddenly accelerated after Li Xuehong joined.

So Wei Dong drove the BMW to the Baimao building, which was still under construction with fences in place. He briefly looked at the interior decoration, which mainly emphasized its business attributes, including a restaurant, tea house, business center, and grand lobby.

Still, they eagerly squeezed into the crowded Hongguang Hotel next door.

Check-in queue!

Even Wei Dong, who has lived for over sixty years, has never seen anything like it.

Since the last check-out time is set at noon, the morning is definitely the peak time for check-outs.

Therefore, consumers who heard the news rushed to check in, preferring to queue rather than miss the opportunity to stay in a cheap and good-quality hotel.

At least the Super 6 Hotel has a bathroom and private shower in each tiny room, while the Red Light Hostel has shared bathrooms and showers on every floor.

Furthermore, the room dimensions were optimized to the extreme.

Wei Dong and Li Xuehong only managed to peek out when someone checked out.

The two adjacent rooms were completely different; the bed on this side was on the lower level, and the one next door was on the upper level!

It's somewhat like a capsule hotel, but the four or five square meter private rooms completely guarantee privacy.

Guesthouse fares in mainland China have now risen to around five yuan.

A few cents is for a large dormitory-style bed, while one or two yuan is for a large room with more than ten beds shared by multiple people.

In the past two years, several cases have occurred in various places where travelers in these large dormitories or rooms have been drugged or even murdered by their roommates and their money stolen.

Therefore, budget hotels and guesthouses that provide excellent accommodation for business travelers are in high demand and short supply.

Li Xuehong's statement was devoid of emotion: "Now I understand what you meant when you said that we had a lot of support and help from our comrades. Indeed, we had people in every aspect, from decoration and construction to technology and air conditioning equipment. Even the container factory specially made these steel wire spring mattresses for us, and we even customized several sizes ourselves."

Wei Dong noticed the very compact size of the single bunk bed: "Could two people share this room? Why are they forced to sleep on the floor?"

Li Xuehong said, "A normal single bed is 90 centimeters wide. We deliberately made it 10 centimeters wider so that two people can squeeze in to sleep. But if you want to be more comfortable, you can only sleep on the floor. It costs three yuan to rent a mattress and bedding."

The remaining space next to the bed is so small that you have to press the chair right up to the small table to barely make room for a second person to sleep on the floor.

But the cool air conditioning, the clean and tidy room decor, the carpets and wood-grain furniture are already quite comfortable for a business trip, not to mention that in this day and age, many people probably don't even have homes that are this comfortable.

The Super 6 Hotel next door is slightly larger; the 1.4-meter double bed can be accessed from both sides, or it can be a standard room with two 85-centimeter single beds.

It is designed to be adaptable to various business travel situations.

In contrast, the Hongguang Hotel has no hotel lobby whatsoever, just a tiny front desk for checking out, ensuring the operation of nearly two hundred rooms across eight floors.

The Super 6 Hotel has a lobby that's like a small supermarket, with all sorts of travel essentials, business stationery, and even clothing, bags, and folders.

It's obvious that the original Citibank version didn't have this part, but it filled the space with a woman's delicate thinking and also provided convenience.

Wei Dong nodded in approval as he looked at the completed business hotel. These three types of hotels basically cover all consumer segments.

“Great, once operations are up and running, we should expand to branch offices in all provinces and cities across the country.”

Li Xuehong wore a cool white suit skirt, with a light blue shirt underneath and a pretty bow tie.

All the crowded travelers and residents who saw this white-collar lady thought that the man she was with must be very remarkable.

The way she followed Wei Dong so respectfully was so charming: "Seventeen provincial capital branch managers have come to learn and inspect, and about twenty other branch and sales company managers have also come to Shanghai for inspection. Five provinces have started to promote the project: Chengdu, Harbin, Echang, Zhejiang, and Nanjing."

Wei Dong was very satisfied. Only after getting into the car did he ask, "The entire hotel system will definitely become an independent hotel group. It's just that it's scattered in various places now to avoid attracting attention. I plan to appoint He Yuemei as the general manager. What about you? What are your thoughts on this?" Li Xuehong replied without hesitation, "I'm in Pengzhen. This is the forefront of reform and opening up. I want to help you defend this position. I'm willing to do anything. I know many college students are joining and following me. I have less education, but I'll assist in the work and serve the overall situation."

To Wei Dong's slight surprise: "Didn't you say you were going to dedicate yourself to the cause? We have many jobs all over the country, and you can take charge of a certain aspect."

Li Xuehong said softly, "Thank you for your trust. In the past two months, I have also taken the time to visit the branch offices in Beijing and Shanghai. Perhaps it is not convenient for me to go out, as there are always all kinds of strange looks. Only when I return here, back to your entire internal organization, can I relax and devote myself to my work. I am now familiar with all your companies and projects in Pengzhen. The scale is already very large, but there are some areas that have been overlooked. I want to help you manage them well."

Wei Dong laughed heartily: "That's not easy. The two semiconductor chip factories alone are worth more than three hundred million US dollars. The container company and the West Wharf will definitely be worth no less than that in the future. The sound card factory, the speaker factory, as well as the sanitary napkin factory and the garment factory that we transferred here, plus the aircraft carrier cultural park, the scale is very, very large."

Li Xuehong also laughed: "I really admire you. You have built such a large empire in the past four years. So I will not participate in any specific company. I will just focus on helping you maintain these enterprises and take good care of the tens of thousands of infrastructure workers, factory employees and college students. Only then can you have more strength to conquer the world."

Wei Dong, no longer shy about his relationship with his girlfriend, reached out and patted the woman's shoulder: "Sister Li, you're right. These four years have been a period of tempering and refinement for both of us. As long as we persevere, everything we've done will eventually pay off. Okay, you'll be in charge of all of Pengzhen's asset operation and management, which means managing all the work we've done in these areas. You'll get shares in these assets, and I guarantee you'll start with a net worth of millions or tens of millions, and you'll definitely be a billionaire in the future."

Unexpectedly, Li Xuehong said, "Well, even an old lady like me can stay here and manage things. This is my future career. Sometimes I even want to grow old sooner."

Wei Dong couldn't help but take a look; that naturally alluring face did indeed look much better than before.

It seems like everyone's saying these days that it's really not easy for beautiful and alluring women in this chaotic world!

I laughed and decided not to comment further.

It's a good thing if everyone can fulfill their responsibilities and make the most of their abilities.

But Li Xuehong immediately gave him another surprise. To get to the West Wharf from the city center, you have to cross Pengda. She pointed to an intersection and indicated that you could also detour there.

Then, turning around, I saw a red and white "Hongguang Hostel" under renovation: "It's about two kilometers from our industrial area. I applied with Yuemei to build another Hongguang Hostel to accommodate college students from all over the country. I believe that this, together with the three hotels in the city, will continuously attract outstanding talents from all over the country. Because I have also struggled to survive and establish myself here, I know what they want most when they come here."

Wei Dong had no choice but to give him a thumbs up: "Great, come with me to Hong Kong tomorrow, and then you can broaden your thinking and strive to achieve even better results."

Li Xuehong finally hesitated for a moment: "I...have never been back to Shangzhou, nor do I want to go back, so I can't get a passport or travel permit. Although I really want to go and see it, I promise I won't run away."

He then said helplessly, "If I were to go through these procedures, everyone would think I was trying to smuggle myself out of the country."

Wei Dong couldn't help but burst into laughter; he really was suffering from his appearance.

Perhaps it is precisely this burgeoning ambition hidden beneath her fox-like appearance that makes Li Xuehong so unexpectedly meticulous in her actions.

This allows Weidong to hear progress reports at every construction site he passes without having to stop.

Then, upon arriving at the National Assembly office building, Chief Engineer Huang also spoke highly of Rang Weidong's assistant, as he had connected all the tasks Rang Weidong had assigned from Hong Kong with the container factory and had also helped the container factory get to work.

The recent refrigerated container is the core project of the National Group.

The first batch of refrigerated cabinets they managed to replicate were a bit difficult to produce. It wasn't until Du Hongyi's gang obtained the complete blueprints, including detailed manufacturing processes, that things improved.

This is not a big problem for Shangzhou Chuandong Machinery Factory, which specializes in cold storage and now mainly produces water-cooled central air conditioning systems.

If Guoji can produce refrigerated containers in conjunction with Chuandong Machinery Factory, it will revolutionize the business scope of China Ocean Shipping Group!
At this point, Chief Engineer Tang’s advantage from Guoyuan became apparent. Even though Guoyuan itself was not wealthy, it immediately ordered 500 refrigerated container units.

This is a 12-meter-long, 2.4-meter-high, and 30-degree-wide constant-temperature air-conditioned room that can be adjusted from minus 30 degrees to plus 30 degrees.

Some technical difficulties still need to be overcome, and core components still need to be imported, but we are already able to manufacture them and supply them to the market.

Compared to a regular shipping container that costs thousands of US dollars, an air conditioning unit costs tens of thousands of US dollars. So, how big is the profit margin?

Moreover, how much technical expertise is required to manufacture sheet metal containers? Only by making refrigerated containers can the advantages of inland quality and low price be highlighted. Even if, like quay cranes, the core component, the refrigeration unit, is purchased from imports, it can still form a huge competitive advantage in the international market.

So Lao Fang sat down in front of Rang Weidong again, trying to intimidate him: "What exactly are you doing in Hong Kong? How dare you spend tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars to buy a luxury house?"

There was still a smile in his eyes and at the corners of his mouth.

This startled Li Xuehong, who was listening in, so much so that she turned pale.

She knew her lord was awesome, but she never imagined he had become this awesome.
