Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

Chapter 104 Tony is attacked, "Iron Man 1" starts (asking for monthly tickets)
"Wen Ming, you need to help me!"

Earl Mason hurried to Wen Ming's office, took a sip of his tea, and immediately began complaining, "There was a gunfight at the Vinci Hotel. Their general manager, Willie Hansen, was shot in the head. The impact was terrible, and now the entire metropolis is blaming me."

"I don't want to see this kind of situation either. I'm also a victim. When Flora and I were attacked, you promised to increase security around the Flatiron Hotel."

Wen Ming spread his hands, indicating that he could do nothing to help.

Earl scratched his sparse bald spot. He didn't expect that the young man Wen Ming would be so difficult to deal with. He started by talking about the last shooting incident.

The Flatiron District, an important community in Manhattan Island, the core urban area of ​​the metropolitan area, has experienced three consecutive shooting incidents. First, two 911 victims died, then a billionaire and the daughter of a multi-billionaire were shot, and finally a billionaire, a gang leader and dozens of his men were all killed.

Moreover, all the above events happened within just one week.

It can be said that Earl's future is worrying.

Earl was quite thick-skinned for not resigning on the spot.

Seeing that Wen Ming was still unmoved and was about to bring up the shooting, he quickly changed the subject, saying, "During this Saturday's Summer Street Carnival, the rest stop at the Vinci Hotel might not be available. I'd like your Flatiron Hotel to serve as the rest stop."

"Sure, how much?"

Wen Ming looked very businesslike.

There are three summer street carnivals in total. One was held last Saturday, and two are still to be held.

Although he didn't participate in the previous event, Wen Ming still achieved an occupancy rate of 98%.

Now that the opportunity has come to him, he naturally won't push it away.

Earl said flatteringly, "I want the Flatiron Hotel to sponsor..."

"No, Earl, I can't possibly provide free food, water, and rest areas to hundreds of thousands of tourists. I'm a five-star hotel, and I have to consider the guest experience. I'd rather not accept a single tourist than offend my customers. Do you understand?"

Wen Ming stared at Earl and suddenly changed the subject: "The leader of the Bridgehead Gang died with Willy. I feel that the Wenxi Hotel must give me an explanation. Did you receive the call from Flora's father?"

Earl immediately understood that this young man was really hard to fool, so he had no choice but to say, "Okay, $1 for two games."

"No, I want 30."

Wen Mingshi opened his mouth so high that Earl was about to go crazy: "Impossible, we don't have much money to begin with. The most I can give you is 2 US dollars."

"I'm going to ask my employees to work extra overtime in this hot weather. I'm going to give them all kinds of subsidies and buy them insurance, so it's going to cost at least $25."

Wen Ming also knew that he was asking for too much, but that's how business is done.

Ask for a high price and pay it back on the spot.

"3, no more is possible. I'd rather cancel a rest stop."

Earl didn't expect this young man to be so difficult to deal with. Is he really only 23 years old?

What was I doing when I was 23?
However, Wen Ming looked indifferent: "Then cancel it."

Earl was stunned.

Why doesn't this young man play by the rules?

He was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "10 US dollars, I can't explain to the organizing committee if it's more than that."

"No, I believe you can explain it well."

Wen Ming did not continue to lower the fee, but stared at Earl.

The old man stood up, looking insulted. "Then we can't continue this conversation."

"Goodbye, I won't see you off. By the way, remember to investigate the Bridgehead Gang incident as soon as possible. Flora and I will hold them and the Vinci Hotel accountable."

Wen Ming didn't even lift his butt.

When Earl heard this, he sat down naturally: "20 US dollars, two games."

"make a deal!"

Wen Ming held out his hand, and Earl smiled kindly: "I'll have someone send you a check later."

"No, I only accept electronic transfers."

Wen Ming shook his head and started talking about the Wenxi Hotel: "Who will take over the Wenxi Hotel next?"

"They should be their major shareholder. It may take a few days to confirm the details. I guess they will suspend operations this month."

The news revealed by Earl cheered up Wen Ming.

With one less competitor temporarily, the business of my hotel will definitely be better.

We look forward to a 100% occupancy rate every day in the coming month.

Huh?
Will those weightlifting masters come over too?

It looks like the gym's business is going to pick up.

Susie needs to get some pretty fitness trainers here quickly.

Otherwise, take this opportunity to poach the fitness coach from Wenxi Hotel.

You're unemployed anyway.

That’s it.

Earl chatted for a while longer, then stood up to say goodbye. Before leaving, he couldn't help but say, "Wen Ming, you'll support me, right?"

Wen Ming smiled but said nothing.

Earl walked away with a helpless look on his face.

Who said that people in Daqian are easily satisfied?

I gave him $20 worth of business, but he is still not satisfied.

So greedy!

When I got back, I told the organizing committee that you asked for 40 US dollars.

……

After seeing Earl off, Wen Ming picked up the intercom: "Ask Mana to see me."

"Good boss."

Soon, the red-haired receptionist Mana arrived at Wen Ming's office. The moment she saw Wen Ming, she smiled and said, "Boss, I found the mole for you."

"Well, tell me, how many are there?"

Wen Ming was very satisfied with Mana's cleverness.

When he was attacked last night, he guessed that it must be a mole who reported the news.

Now that he saw that Mana had actually been found, he was very happy.

However, Mana raised five fingers.

Wen Ming's eyes narrowed slightly: "So many?"

Mana was also a little surprised: "This is the first time I've seen so many corporate spies in a five-star hotel. Before, we were considered lucky if we encountered one or two."

Wen Ming fell silent.

It seems that there are a lot of people coveting this hotel!
Wen Ming took the note written by Mana and glanced at it. It actually covered four departments: housekeeping department, catering department, security department and administrative personnel department.

Wen Ming felt like his hotel had been ripped apart like a sieve.

This is just what Mana found out, and there is no telling how much more there is that she hasn’t found out.

Wen Ming took out an envelope from his drawer: "Mana, this is your reward.

I originally wanted to promote you to the position of Front Office Supervisor, but now I don't want to promote you to a higher position, but I can raise your salary to the same level as the Front Office Supervisor. Do you understand what I mean?"

"thank you boss!"

Mana nodded happily: "I understand, I will continue to help the boss catch the traitor."

"Mana, you are my first employee."

Wen Ming stood up and walked in front of Mana: "If you betray me too, I will be very sad."

"Boss, don't worry. I will never betray such a good boss like you!"

Mana looked at Wen Ming without any retreat or dodging. She happily walked out with the envelope.

Wen Ming thought for a moment and called Aunt Susie over: "Susie, I'm very disappointed."

Aunt Susie looked at the list in her hand, her expression turning grim: "So many?"

Wen Ming stared at the other party: "Among them, there are also your people."

Aunt Susie's face was filled with shame: "I'm sorry, I, I didn't know Tara was sent by someone else."

"Call them here one by one and ask them who sent them. I will send people to help you. Drive away all the people recruited by Tara."

Wen Ming waved his hand and did not criticize Aunt Susie too much. He knew that with Aunt Susie's professionalism, she would definitely give him a satisfactory explanation.

Moreover, these commercial spies are different from the fat man. They cannot be dealt with by force and can only be dealt with through conversation.

It is best to ask, but if you can't, you cannot restrict the other person's freedom.

Seeing Wen Ming like this, Aunt Susie stopped making excuses and walked out to her office and called Tara over: "I'm very disappointed in you! You've failed to live up to my expectations of you!"

……

"Pepper, I need your help."

Wen Ming called Pepper's room, and soon, Pepper came up to him with long legs. "What happened?"

"I have five corporate spies here, and I need to know who sent them."

Wen Ming handed the information of the five people to Pepper: "I'm not good at this kind of thing."

"give it to me."

Pepper glanced at it and then put the information away: "I deal with this kind of thing all the time."

Wen Ming nodded, then picked up a Bluetooth headset and handed it to Pepper: "The Queen of the Sea can provide you with assistance. My lawyer Hansen and legal counsel Lilith will also follow your arrangements."

"Are you using me as the general manager?"

Pepper looked at Wen Ming with a smile, and Wen Ming spread his hands: "I will pay you from now on."

"I haven't talked to Tony yet."

Although he said this, Wen Ming could see that Tony and Maya's affectionate behavior just now had turned this little hot pepper into a hot pepper.

"Please help me deal with these five people as soon as possible before Tony kills me."

Wen Ming's words made Pepper smile, but she still walked towards the Human Resources office.

Wen Ming suddenly smiled.

It seems that this general manager can't escape.

There are cattle and horses working again.

……

"The boss seems to be very busy today."

Wang Xi couldn't help but sigh as he watched Belinda constantly coming in and out, delivering tea to Wen Ming's office.

"Yeah, he's been busy all day and didn't eat much lunch. He should have a few visitors later."

Just as Belinda breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Wang Xi mutter, "A few people were suddenly kicked out of the hotel's internal group."

"what?"

Belinda quickly looked at the computer and saw that the internal system quickly sent an email listing some employees who were placed on paid administrative leave.

Paid administrative leave is a means to avoid illegal dismissal, and such a notice undoubtedly tells everyone that these people are going to be fired.

How come there are so many?

Belinda and Wang Xi looked at each other, both feeling a little surprised.

At this moment, Wang Xi suddenly received a notice and she hurriedly stood up and walked out.

Belinda glanced up and immediately saw the content of the email.

"Please ask Assistant Wang Xi from the President's Office to immediately go to the conference room to attend the employee meeting. The meeting will last for three hours and will be with five people..."

Before Belinda could take a closer look, Wang Xi ran back, quickly closed the email, and walked out quickly with his laptop.

Belinda stared at her screen in a daze for a while, until the phone rang. She answered the call as if awakening from a dream: "Boss."

"Send me a cup of tea, I have a friend coming."

"Okay, boss."

Belinda quickly walked to the tea room nearby, made a cup of tea, then knocked on the door and walked into Wen Ming's office.

At this moment, in front of Wen Ming, sat a woman with a slim figure wrapped in a long red dress.

The woman seemed to be from Daqian, just like Wen Ming.

His face was cold and he exuded a cool and elegant aura that kept people at a distance.

A pair of long legs are faintly visible under the high-slit red skirt.

This face looked familiar, but I couldn't recall where I had seen it before. "Hello, please have some tea."

Belinda placed the tea in front of the other person.

"Thank you!"

The woman's voice was a very pleasant, royal voice, but with a hint of coldness.

Belinda nodded at Wen Ming and walked out.

Seeing the young assistant leave, Ada Wang turned her cold eyes to Wen Ming.

"I'm already in Raccoon Town, are you ready, Goku?"

"Ready! Xiao Wukong will help you clear the story of "Resident Evil 0" and "Resident Evil 1" once, for $10.

It should have been charged twice, but "Resident Evil 1" is an extra gift for Goku, and you must ensure that Goku has enough food and water.

If you go deeper and want to activate the plot of "Resident Evil 2" in advance, you will need to double the price.

But I don't think it's necessary yet. This time it's mainly to test whether you can improve your strength by participating in the first two plots."

Wen Ming took out a capsule and placed it in front of Ada Wang: "This is a weapon box universal capsule customized for you by Bulma. You can store weapons, ammunition, food and water in it. It costs 3 US dollars.

In the world of "John Wick," a bulletproof suit costs $15.

I can waive the cost of the weapons and ammunition I gave you last time, so it can be considered a gift.

Total, 28 US dollars.

Gold settlement."

Ada Wang didn't bargain and opened the suitcase at her feet.

"In my world, the current gold price is $300 per ounce, $9.65 per gram. $28 is roughly 29 kilograms of gold. Here are 29 1-kilogram gold bars."

Wen Ming smiled happily when he saw the golden gold.

29 kilograms of gold, converted into today's gold price, is worth 273 million US dollars.

This is a really big profit.

However, the cost price of US$6 must be paid to Goku and Bulma and US$5 to John.

"Dragon Ball" is a virtual world, but the price of gold is the same as in 1984, both US$360 per ounce. Wen Ming guessed that this is probably because "Dragon Ball" has been serialized since 1984.

6 US dollars in 1984, calculated at 360 US dollars per ounce and 11.58 US dollars per gram, is equivalent to 5183 grams of gold.

John's $5 was equivalent to 1943.75 grams of gold in 2009.

In fact, if Wen Ming gave them gold directly, he would suffer a lot of losses, but at this stage there was no way to offset it with materials, so Wen Ming decided to settle the bill with gold.

It’s okay to lose some money.

Anyway, they will use this gold to spend on their own later.

In this way, after settlement, I still have 21.9 kilograms left.

After a little conversion, Wen Ming's mouth broke into a grin.

$206 million!

Cool!
Just by acting as a middleman, he made a direct profit of 206 million US dollars!

No wonder Yuri in "Lord of War" loves to be an arms dealer so much.

Is there any business that makes money faster than being an arms dealer?
It’s so cool!

This is just the first order.

Natasha has the same order!
Although the price of gold in Natasha's world is much higher than that in Ada Wong's, she can definitely make a lot of money.

The money for the underground hospital was raised in no time.

Notify the decoration company today to start working at full capacity.

"Is there anything you want?"

Ada Wang also knew that Wen Ming must have made a lot of money. After all, the difference in gold prices alone was enough for Wen Ming to make a fortune, but Ada Wang was not a short-sighted person.

Moreover, in the world of mercenaries, the money Wen Ming earns is already a fair price.

Change to another unscrupulous businessman who dares to make 2000 million from you.

However, Ada Wang is also a businessman, so she also wants to make some money back.

"Red Queen's console, research data on the T-Virus and G-Virus, virus samples, vaccine samples, and as for the rest, you'll have to wait for an opportunity. After all, I'm not sure what's available in your game world.

It would be best if you can get it, but it’s okay if you can’t.

I said, this time I'm just testing to see if I can improve your strength, I don't want you to take any risks."

Wen Ming pointed out his goal without saying a word, but also expressed his own ideas.

Both the T virus and the G virus originate from a flower called Stairway to the Sun, which is the same as Maya Hansen's research direction. If the two are combined, Wen Ming is looking forward to the power of the Extremis virus + T virus + G virus in the future.

A rare smile appeared on Ada Wang's cold face: "No wonder your employees say you are a good person."

She felt Wen Ming's concern.

"If you can come to my hotel and work as an employee, I believe you can feel the warmth of home."

Wen Ming blurted out what his former boss often said.

But this is also one of his dreams.

It would be great to just think about getting Ada Wong as a bodyguard.

Ada Wang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then turned his head away: "I'm going to meet up with Little Wukong, and we'll set off tonight."

"Okay, little Goku is very simple, you take good care of him."

Wen Ming reminded.

Ada Wang thought of the innocent look of little Wukong and couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, I won't let your big baby starve."

This smile is like a blooming wintersweet in the snow, with a unique beauty.

Wen Ming stood up and walked her to the private elevator door. Ada Wang suddenly turned around and hooked her arm around Wen Ming's neck: "I don't know if I will die on this trip."

“Believe in yourself!”

The first time was strange, the second time was familiar. This time, Wen Ming took the initiative and pushed her against the elevator wall: "I'm still waiting for you to come back and work for me."

Ada Wang didn't answer, but kissed him fiercely.

After a long time, two beautiful neckbands fluttered in the air and quickly left.

Before Wen Ming had time to savor the moment, Laura, who had been watching a movie all day, came over.

Well, it's been a busy day.

After instructing Belinda to prepare a cup of tea, Wen Ming looked at the adventurous rich girl and asked, "How do you feel?"

"It's strange, I thought I was unique in the world, but it turns out I'm a character in a movie universe.

And I also suspect that I am a character in a game, because I have 15 game works, some of which I have experienced and some of which I have not experienced. In other words, it is very likely that there are many of me in different parallel time and space.

But my movies are divided into two different series, and my real experience is more like the game version, so I can’t figure out which Lara I am.

Will I meet more Lauras in the future?"

There were all kinds of doubts and confusion in Laura's eyes. Wen Ming comforted her: "Every one of them is Laura, and none of them is you. You are just yourself."

Wen Ming didn't know how to help her find out her origins, after all, even Laura herself couldn't explain it clearly.

If we want to blame someone, we can only blame the game and movie companies for making two series of Lara at the same time.

Two restarts mean there are at least four Lauras.

It's like Spider-Man and Batman, the reboots are so indistinguishable from each other that ordinary people can't tell them apart.

Although the Laura in front of me looks very similar to Angelina, her experience is not exactly the same as in the movie, which means that her origin is very complicated.

All Wen Ming could do was give some psychological comfort.

Wen Ming's words cheered Laura up a little. She nodded and said, "This is the only way I can comfort myself now, but I am very much looking forward to other universes. Is it really possible to travel to other universes?
I'm very interested in the zombies you mentioned to Ada yesterday."

"Yes, but it is somewhat dangerous."

Wen Ming knew that Laura, who was born adventurous, would definitely be eager to take action, but he didn't expect that she would want to set off so soon.

What's more, her first stop was to go to "Resident Evil".

Tsk, Laura fighting zombies?

It’s exciting just thinking about it.

"Isn't danger normal? Can you arrange for me to go there? I'm willing to help that Ada solve some minor troubles."

Laura licked her lips, the sexiest lips in the world, her interest completely piqued.

Seeing her insistence, Wen Ming nodded and said, "Okay, they are making preparations. You can go find them in the room. However, I suggest you take precautions and watch the game explanation and CG animation first."

Unfortunately, it is too late to customize the bulletproof suits. I have to get some standard versions and put them in the hotel so that I won’t miss out on making big money.

You know, Laura is quite rich!

"Thank you for the reminder, you are such a kind person."

Laura chuckled and left.

Wen Ming shrugged and asked, "Why do people always give me the nice guy card?"
I'm just a hotel owner who wants to be a gold dealer.

……

After a busy day, Wen Ming devoured two large bowls of ramen at dinner like a wolf.

Little Wukong was even more powerful and ate ten full bowls.

Considering that Xiao Wukong had earned a lot of money for him, Wen Ming specially prepared ten kilograms of braised beef for him.

Little Wukong was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

Well, my mouth is stuffed with beef.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Wen Ming watched Ada Wang, Xiao Wukong, and Laura disappear at the intersection fully armed.

Bulma, who was standing by, actually became a little worried: "Wen Ming, little Goku won't be in danger, right?"

"As long as little Goku doesn't get too hungry and bite a zombie, I guarantee he'll be fine."

Wen Ming's playful joke made Bulma burst out laughing. She rubbed against Wen Ming and leaned on his arm: "I'm so worried about little Goku. His heart is beating so fast. Wen Ming, feel it and try."

Wen Ming didn't dare to touch her, but Bulma had already reached out and grabbed his hand and placed it on her heart: "Your hand is so warm, my heartbeat slowed down immediately."

Wen Ming fled in panic.

He swept open Sarah's room and threw her on the bed without waiting for Sarah to say anything.

Sarah didn't expect Wen Ming to be so proactive today. She giggled and rushed over: "Have you sent everyone away?"

"Well, I think we've finished sending them off."

Wen Ming was a little unsure, wondering if he had forgotten someone.
But he didn't have time to think about it because Sarah was already using both her mouth and tongue.

"Watch your teeth!"

……

"Tony, I want to talk to you."

On the way back in the car, Pepper hesitated several times, but still looked at Tony in the rearview mirror.

Tony, who was looking down at something on his tablet, asked casually, "What are you talking about?"

"I think……"

Before Pepper could finish her words, a flash of fire suddenly shot out from the distance.

In an instant, the car the two were riding in rolled violently in the air.

The huge shock wave and violent rolling almost made the two people in the car faint.

The moment the tumble ended, Tony had only one thought in his mind.

"Pepper, get back to the Flatiron Hotel!"

He shouted and then disappeared from the spot.

Immediately afterwards, Pepper also disappeared from the spot.

One minute later, several men in black clothes walked over cautiously from a distance with guns in hand. When they saw that the car was empty, they all looked at each other in surprise.

What about people?

"what is this?"

At this moment, a man in black saw a silver suitcase rolling out from the car seat. He opened it casually and saw a big black man inside.

"You guys go find them, I'll take this thing back."
