"Sure!" Zhu Youming gave a thumbs up and praised, "Sister-brother relationships have more prospects. Tell me the truth, how does a mature woman taste? Is she more exciting?"
Fang Zhicheng laughed and scolded: "It's not as dirty as you think."
Zhu Youming showed disbelief on his face and whispered, "What is our relationship? Is it necessary to be so modest? When we were in college, there were a total of six guys in our dormitory, and except for you, everyone had a girlfriend. I have always suspected that there was something wrong with your sexual orientation. I am really curious about what kind of person this woman is who can straighten you out!"
Fang Zhicheng frowned and pretended to be angry and said, "Don't be so mean, otherwise, I will really be angry!"
Zhu Youming waved his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, let's not talk about this topic for now. You just said that you have some opinions about the hotel, why don't you tell me? What I need most now is opinions."
Fang Zhicheng just called and helped him settle a matter, which made him happy. Starting a business sounds good, but it is actually quite difficult. Now that he has a partner, Zhu Youming's previously low confidence has begun to burn again.
Fang Zhicheng tapped the table with his fingers and whispered, "I think your hotel is too high-end."
"High-end?" Zhu Youming found it hard to understand.
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "The hotel is popular, but most of the people are students. Your hotel has a fresh decoration style and complete internal facilities, including a computer room and business suites. However, students have low purchasing power. Staying in a hotel for one night costs half a month's living expenses. Who can afford it?"
Zhu Youming nodded and said with a wry smile: "There are a lot of low-rent houses near the university town. I originally thought that I wanted to compete through differentiation."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "It's a good idea, but if you want to differentiate yourself in competition, you must have enough time to slowly change customers' consumption habits. College students are used to living in low-priced houses. In the short term, it is difficult for them to accept high-end hotels. Moreover, their spending power determines that they cannot afford the price you offer."
Zhu Youming looked solemn and asked in confusion, "Do you mean we should go for the low-end route?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled mysteriously and said softly, "We should go for the high cost-effective route. We can bring our girlfriend to enjoy the taste of a five-star hotel at the price of renting a private house. How about that?"
Zhu Youming smiled bitterly and said, "The advertisement is good, but we can't do business at a loss, right?"
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and smiled, "Of course we can't lose money. We need to make a plan first and set prices based on the standard of full houses every day. I just did a preliminary calculation. You have a total of 60 rooms. If the price of a single room is 80 yuan, you can have an income of 4,800 yuan a day. After deducting the maintenance fee of 3,000 yuan, you can still have a profit of 1,800 yuan, which means you can make 54,000 yuan a month. It is much more reasonable than your current single room price of 180 yuan, an occupancy rate of less than 15 rooms, and a loss of 300 yuan a day. During promotions, special-price rooms and high-end rooms can be converted at any time. No one knows how many special-price rooms you have launched every day. Different customers set different prices, with full occupancy as the ultimate goal."
Zhu Youming roughly understood what Fang Zhicheng meant and analyzed, "You mean, my 60 rooms are all 80 yuan special rooms, but in fact, they are announced to the public as limited?"
"A young man is teachable." Fang Zhicheng nodded and smiled, "If anyone feels that the special price room is not high-end enough, the front desk can always provide a high-end room. The special price room of 80 yuan can also be sold at 280 yuan!"
Zhu Youming praised: "You are so cunning."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "All businessmen are dishonest!"
Chapter 0057 Sister, I'm in trouble again
At about 5:30, Zhu Youming drove a Bora and brought Fang Zhicheng to the hotel where the wedding was held. When they entered the lobby, they saw the wedding poster of Zhao Yong and the bride. After the two newlyweds on the poster were processed by technology, they looked quite a good match, but when they stepped into the second floor, they found that posters were really deceiving. Although Zhao Yong was not handsome, he was tall and had a refreshing complexion, but the bride was not only short in height, but also had an alarming weight.
Fang Zhicheng leaned close to Zhu Youming's ear and whispered, "Is the bride pregnant?"
Zhu Youming glared at Fang Zhicheng and replied, "Don't guess. Maybe her big belly is congenital?"
The two smiled at each other knowingly, walked over to exchange a few words with Zhu Youming, then obediently handed over the red envelope and stepped into the hall to find a seat. Because they came very early, the table of the man's college classmates had not yet arrived. After about ten minutes, classmates arrived one after another. Four of the six roommates who originally shared the dormitory came together and sat together to chat.
Zhao Yong had good interpersonal relationships in school, so he invited many of his college classmates, enough for two tables.
After a while, Fang Zhicheng noticed that Zhu Youming's face changed drastically. He followed his gaze and saw Wang Meijia walking slowly towards him with her arm around a man's.
Wang Meijia put on light makeup, making her originally delicate and small face look elegant and refined. She wore a white long dress and a pearl necklace on her snow-white neck. She looked more graceful than before, but in Fang Zhicheng's eyes, she looked a little tacky.
Wang Meijia obviously didn't expect Zhu Youming to attend the wedding banquet. A look of embarrassment flashed across her face, but she quickly concealed it.
"Hi!" Wang Meijia greeted Zhu Youming generously.
Zhu Youming's face was stiff, but because of his gentlemanly manners, he said softly, "Long time no see!"
Wang Meijia pointed at the man next to her and said softly, "My boyfriend, Lin He."
Fang Zhicheng interrupted and said calmly: "Lin He, we have a famous person in our business school, we don't need you to introduce him."
Lin He's father was the deputy director of the Qiongjin City Education Bureau. With this relationship, Lin He was able to thrive in college and after graduation, he got a good job in a foreign company. Fang Zhicheng didn't expect Wang Meijia and Lin He to be together. Didn't she know that Lin He was a playboy
Seeing Fang Zhicheng being rude to Wang Meijia, Lin He frowned and said softly, "Fang Zhicheng, today is Zhao Yong's big day. We are all guests. I hope we can keep a low profile and not cause trouble."
Seeing Lin He threatening Fang Zhicheng, Zhu Youming was dissatisfied and sneered, "Lin He, you overestimate yourself, don't you? Do you think I will cause trouble for you? In fact, I have to thank you for helping me solve a problem. By the way, let me ask you, are you not tired of the things I am tired of eating?"
Wang Meijia and Lin He both looked very pale after hearing this. Especially Lin He, he clenched his fists, veins on his forehead were visible, and he sneered, "Zhu Youming, you are so mean, you will get into trouble." After saying that, he turned around and sat at another table.
Fang Zhicheng sighed in a low voice: "Second brother, you are too mean. After all, we were lovers in the past, so we should be more graceful, right?"
Zhu Youming's eyes were filled with anger, and he whispered, "The hatred of having your wife taken away from you is unparalleled."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and sighed, "That makes sense. I support you."
Zhu Youming smiled and drank a sip of water depressedly.
What's the point of arguing? Every intimate movement of Lin He and Wang Meijia not far away is like a sharp sword, cutting a bloody wound in his heart.
Wang Meijia looked at Lin He worriedly and said softly, "I'm sorry."
Lin He smiled gently, "Why do you have to say sorry?"
Wang Meijia continued, "Zhu Youming's words just now were too harsh..."
Lin He reached out and gently held Wang Meijia's hand, saying calmly: "Didn't we agree that everyone has a past? Since we are together, we must bravely accept what happened in the past."
