Chapter 313 The Origins of the Peace Hotel
The Peace Hotel is located at the intersection of Nanjing East Road in Shanghai.
The two buildings at this intersection on the east side of the road are the well-known Peace Hotel, also known as the famous hotel.
The North Tower of the Peace Hotel was built in 1929 and was originally named the Cathay Hotel. It is a Gothic building of the Chicago School.
The building is 77 meters tall and has twelve floors.
The hotel is located at the intersection of Nanjing East Road and the Bund in Shanghai. Looking up, you can see the river and many boats on the Bund.
In 1929, Jewish businessman Victor Sassoon conceived and created a hotel called "Cathay Hotel", which is now the Peace Hotel.
Designed by Chicago School Gothic architects Palmer & Turner, the hotel is most notable for its green copper-clad roof, which sits 77 meters above sea level.
The exterior walls are made of granite blocks. Entering through the revolving doors, the lobby floor is paved with milky white Italian marble, and the ceiling is decorated with antique bronze openwork chandeliers. It is luxurious and elegant and has the reputation of being the "Number One Building in the Far East".
The South Building of the Peace Hotel, formerly known as the Huizhong Hotel, has its main entrance at No. 23 Nanjing East Road and a side entrance at No. 19 near the Bund. It was built in 1908 and is in the Renaissance architectural style.
In short, the Peace Hotel is very famous, even worldwide.
Many foreigners come to China just to see the Peace Hotel.
In the future, there will even be people who specifically film this restaurant for use in movies and TV shows.
As for whether the Peace Hotel received any investment, the answer is no.
Its influence and the credibility it has maintained for so many years have long since made it unnecessary for it to have so many external endorsements.
To be precise, the Peace Hotel is also one of the iconic buildings of Shanghai, and no one can deny that.
Upon arriving at the Peace Hotel, we were greeted by a man who looked to be in his thirties and resembled a butler.
In reality, if you put him outside, he would be a doorman.
But when placed in the Peace Hotel, he looked very proud, and that was the source of his confidence.
Even being a doorman at the Peace Hotel is not something an ordinary person can do.
More importantly, when the car stopped nearby and arrived at the Peace Hotel, it gave people the feeling of stepping into the Republic of China era.
When Yang Yunsheng and Shao Mingyuan arrived at the door, the man immediately came to greet them.
Are you here for a meal?
He wore a faint smile, and from that smile, one could sense his genuine confidence.
Shao Mingyuan said, "That's right, we're here to eat. We've already booked a private room!"
The man then knew that the visitor was a major client.
In terms of assets, it will be no less than a small goal.
The reason is simple: ordinary people find a meal at the Peace Hotel ridiculously expensive, so how could they possibly book a private room for dinner?
He warmly opened the doors of the Peace Hotel for Shao Mingyuan and Yang Yunsheng, bowing at a 45-degree angle as he ushered them inside.
Approaching us were four women dressed in cheongsams, with their hair styled in an updo, each at least 1.7 meters tall, exuding a distinctly oriental charm.
They bowed to Yang Yunsheng and Shao Mingyuan and said, "Welcome!"
It felt like I had stepped into a nightclub.
Yang Yunsheng really wanted to say, "Change to a different batch," but he didn't.
Because this isn't a nightclub, he just didn't know how to describe it.
In this situation, why not compose a poem?
Four beautiful women in cheongsams, I really want to hug her.
Such a rare opportunity in life is better left unseen; let's just sleep together.
This poem is absolutely brilliant.
Once inside, you realize you've been transported to the Republican era, as if you're about to become a triple agent—a member of the 76th Division, the Kuomintang, and the underground Communist Party—and tasked with stealing crucial intelligence.
Or he might pull out a 16-centimeter-long gun and eliminate the spies in the notebook, Hirata Kiko.
A man, about 1.8 meters tall, similar in height to Yang Yunsheng, dressed in a waiter's uniform, came up.
"Hello, do you have an appointment?"
Shao Mingyuan nodded and gave his name.
Through the walkie-talkie's earpiece, the waiter learned that Shao Mingyuan had booked a private room for dinner, and said, "Please follow me, gentlemen!"
Yang Yunsheng also saw that not every seat in the Peace Hotel was occupied, but most seats were occupied.
This shows that the Peace Hotel, with its reputation, doesn't need to go to great lengths to boost its performance like other hotels.
The four large characters "Peace Hotel" alone are enough to draw countless people in.
Upon arriving at the private room, the waiter asked again, "Sir, please let us know when you need more food!"
Shao Mingyuan nodded, and the waiter left.
After Yang Yunsheng and Shao Mingyuan entered the private room, Yang Yunsheng found a seat and said, "This is my first time at the Peace Hotel!"
Shao Mingyuan also said, "This is my first time here too. This restaurant truly lives up to its name!"
Yang Yunsheng glanced at Shao Mingyuan and said that it was his first time here because it really was his first time.
You said this is your first time here, but you don't know how many times you've been here before.
Of course, Yang Yunsheng did not dwell on this issue.
It's the same principle as some people who pretend to be saints on the surface but secretly engage in all sorts of frivolous activities.
After Shao Mingyuan sat down, Yang Yunsheng frowned and said, "You're the main character today. What kind of behavior is it for you to sit in the seat below me? You should sit in the seat of honor!"
At this moment, Shao Mingyuan did not hold back.
In fact, he didn't understand why Yang Yunsheng wanted to hide himself.
If I had a net worth of hundreds of billions, I would have been gone long ago.
Even if we don't talk about the daily sisterhood, there's never a shortage of women every night.
Of course, we don't lack them now.
Perhaps Mr. Yang has now reached a level where he simply doesn't care about ordinary, mediocre women.
Then there's Mr. Yang's wife, who has some powerful background; otherwise, how could Mr. Yang not have affairs?
If none of these apply, then Mr. Yang must have practiced some kind of evil secret technique to maintain his virginity.
Yang Yunsheng had no idea that Shao Mingyuan was thinking some nonsense. He said to Shao Mingyuan, "When the people arrive, talk less. If they ask you something, then talk. If they don't ask you something, then don't talk."
Shao Mingyuan hesitated for a moment before speaking, "President Yang, I don't quite understand the point of doing this. After all, we're the ones inviting President Wang to dinner. If we're just having dinner and not discussing work, wouldn't that be a waste of time for both of us and for President Wang?"
Yang Yunsheng smiled slightly and said, "You think it's a waste of time? Why is it a waste of time?"
After Shao Mingyuan explained his understanding, Yang Yunsheng realized that Shao Mingyuan was actually more suited to be a tech geek. As a CEO, he was quite different from the others.
But Yang Yunsheng knew that Shao Mingyuan could still be trained.
Nobody can be the boss from the start.
Moreover, as long as I control this large ship, it will not lose its way.
It will also bring you endless wealth. (End of Chapter)
