The establishment and signing of the Guild.
On September 5th, Lingya and the other four's short-term contracts with Liu Yuanfang Beauty Studio officially expired, and they were preparing to sign a low-key contract with Wang Yan's Wangting Entertainment.
It was Saturday. Wang Yan got up early and flew to the Magic City. Then he got on the welcome car of Kerry Hotel and returned to the world of gods from the grove.
Kerry Hotel Pudong in the Magic City comes from the same origin as Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, but it is not a brand directly affiliated to Shangri-La.
Under the Kwok Group, there was first the Shangri-La Hotel Group, and then the Kerry Group focused on the domestic market and tested the domestic commercial real estate market with the Kerry Center commercial office building. It also built several Kerry hotels, all of which were managed by Shangri-La.
In terms of grade, Pudong Kerry is still a five-star hotel, but its positioning is more youthful, fashionable and trendy.
In fact, frankly speaking, in the real luxury hotel industry, the entire Shangri-La Group is already a younger brother. Four Seasons, Amman, Relais & Châteaux, Mandarin Oriental, Ritz-Carlton, Jumeirah, etc., just name them. Hanging.
All the above brands are available in Magic City.
However, Wang Yan thought over and over again and still chose Shangri-La.
We are not too rich in money now, so if we choose a new luxury hotel, we may not be treated as VIPs.
Going to Shangri-La is different. If you stay in the presidential suite for one night, your membership status will be upgraded to diamond level, which will increase the importance again.
And a younger brother has the benefit of a younger brother...
Cheap!
The most expensive Jing'an Shangri-La is the most expensive one in the Magic City, guarding Nanjing Road and Jing'an Temple. The presidential suite only costs about 60,000 per night.
Second is Pudong Shangri-La. Although it is the flagship store of Xiangji, it is built along the river and has a beautiful view of the Bund. The location is extremely advantageous. However, because the area of the presidential suite is only 200 square meters, which is far smaller than the 300+ square meters in Jing'an, the price On the contrary, it is cheaper, about 45,000.
The cheapest one is Kerry, next to Century Park and the New International Convention and Exhibition Center.
The presidential suite... emmm, around 20,000, which is not even as expensive as the secondary suites in hotels such as Park Hyatt, Mandarin, and Jumeirah.
Moreover, with Mr. Wang’s membership level, there might be discounts.
But what can I say, the right one is the best, right
The office Wang Yunxi rents is not far from Fangdian Road next door, so for the sake of convenience, it is most suitable to live here.
The most important thing is... if you want to implement that plan smoothly, you must have Xiangji's cooperation.
So Mr. Wang made a wave of his hand and booked a presidential suite in Magic City and four executive suites in Kerry Pavilion three days in advance, and prepared to meet them in the hotel.
It is very necessary to talk to everyone individually.
From the beginning to the end, Wang Yan had only been in contact with Lingya. They were not a family before, so they were just like that. Now they are about to dig into a pit, so they have to show their attitude.
Wang Yunxi was busy with many chores. In the past few days, Wang Yan had basically not interfered, only occasionally talking.
But when we reach the final step, we must stand up to boost military morale.
This is what the real boss does.
After being taken to the hotel by a courtesy car, Brother Xizi was already waiting in the lobby.
Wang Yunxi looked tired after not seeing him for a few days, but he was in high spirits and walked with energy.
"Xiaoyan!"
As soon as Wang Yunxi came up, he couldn't help but wanted to say something, but Wang Yan raised his hand to stop him: "We'll talk when we get up."
He glanced sideways at the personal specialist standing by and asked, "Where do I check in?"
It was early in the morning and the front desk was very busy, but as a resident of the presidential suite, Wang Yan certainly could not wait at the front desk to complete the formalities.
Unless the room is temporarily booked in the middle of the night, the hotel will make all preparations in the VIP pavilion before Wang Yan arrives.
Most of the time, the privileges that money can buy are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Wang Yan followed the commissioner to the Kerry VIP Lounge on the third floor. He simply signed and swiped his card. He didn't even look at the welcome fresh fruit and anything else. He only asked the commissioner for a bottle of champagne.
The commissioner also has an English name, Rich, emmm, a very rich and high-profile name.
But the performance is quite low-key.
"Master Wang, what kind of champagne do you like? With your level, you can get a bottle of free drink in the welcome gift... Oh, please wait a moment, I will get you a drink list right away."
At Shangri-La's five-star hotels, the top customers will receive a bottle of red wine as a gift when they check into the presidential suite.
Wang Yan had known about this problem for a long time, but he had never enjoyed it. The last time he stayed in Xiangji, the Imperial City, his level was not good enough at first, and then he didn't care at all. This is the first time today.
Of course, I still don’t care about that bottle of wine today, so what good gift could it be
Just drink it.
Wang Yan was indifferent to everything, but Wang Yunxi couldn't do that.
It was the first time he experienced such a battle. Brother Xizi was so shocked that he felt awkward all over while sitting on the sofa in the VIP lounge.
He waited until Rich went to get the drink order, then asked in a low voice: "Xiaoyan, how do you get such a big face?"
Wang Yan almost couldn't help laughing.
Where did I get the face!
Isn’t it all about money
Shaking his head, he simply said in a perfunctory way: "It's just a result of hard work! If you pretend to be a young man and take advantage of others, won't you be able to support the scene?"
Wang Yunxi was so convinced that he sighed: "My boss, Mr. Wang, you are simply born to commit fraud..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Wang Yan glanced at his nominal eldest brother, his de facto nephew, and said with a smile: "When doing things, you must take advantage of the situation. You can't go into battle shirtless. Remember to buy yourself two sets of good clothes later, and pretend to be like that. , you will find that in fact, many times it is not you who is lying to others, but others who are lying to themselves."
Wang Yunxi understood the truth, but if he couldn't do it, he just couldn't do it. Suddenly he felt more and more unable to see through Wang Yan, and at the same time he felt a sense of admiration.
Look at Xiaoyan sitting here, his momentum is like Mr. Ma sitting on Summoner's Rift, destroying whoever he says will be destroyed!
Wang Yunxi didn't have any small thoughts at first. All he thought about was that brothers working together would be more powerful than gold.
Now that I had a first glimpse of Wang Yan's majestic nature hidden under his peaceful smile, he felt more and more at ease.
This business will definitely not lose money!
I have to protect Xiaoyan and make him prosperous one day!
Rich came back with the drink order and stood aside respectfully.
Wang Yan glanced at the drink list and suddenly saw a familiar name—Perrier Jouet.
Who mentioned it or drank it
Looking at the picture again, it suddenly dawned on me.
Oh, it turns out to be Xiao Gongju’s favorite champagne...
The bottle of Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque is super beautiful, with a white anemone surrounding the bottle. Fu Yushi ordered it once during a dinner party. The price is not expensive, it seems to be in the early 1,300s, and the taste is particularly fresh.
The price of Kerry VIP Lounge is 1888, which is quite reasonable.
"That's it. If it exceeds the standard, it will be calculated directly into the room fee."
Rich lowered his head to look, and then smiled in a flattering way: "It's indeed over the limit, but it doesn't matter, Mr. Wang, I will take care of it for you."
He was about to get down to business and negotiate with his partners. Wang Yan didn't like being called Young Master Wang. He seemed too dandy and informal, as if he was a second-generation person who relied entirely on his family.
Ignoring the other party's flattery, Wang Yan frowned and corrected him directly: "Rich, you can call me Mr. Wang or Mr. Wang."
"Ah, okay Mr. Wang, I was negligent, please forgive me."
Rich smiled and went to prepare the wine.
Wang Yunxi gave a thumbs up in admiration.
There is style!
Wang Yan didn't think anything of it. Even if he wasn't in Xiangji, a resident of the presidential suite was qualified to express his dissatisfaction to the commissioner.
This issue is not even about respect, it is a natural right of consumers.
In terms of details, Wang Yan's impression of Rich was far inferior to that of Dave, but that didn't matter. He only lived there for one day and it was fine as long as he could use it.
Wang Yan shook his head and stopped thinking about this.
After Rich came back, filled the glasses for the two of them, and stepped away, Wang Yan began to talk about business with Wang Yunxi.
In terms of company registration, fortunately Wang Yunxi had a good connection. He called a buddy in Shanghai on the evening of the 1st, and spent a lot of money to find an agency on the morning of the 2nd to expedite the process, pre-check the name, and then submit the materials to the window, so it took 3 working days. That's it.
Yesterday afternoon, Wangting Entertainment was essentially established. The next step is just to wait for Lingya and the others to come over and then go through some procedures such as equity changes.
If it weren't for this, we really wouldn't be able to sign the contract now.
Taking away the signing issue, there is only one thing that Wang Yan cares about.
"Have you talked to them about the new activities?"
"We have talked about it, but I don't fully understand your ideas, so now we are just doing mysterious propaganda, and there is no targeted promotion."
Wang Yunxi was a little surprised.
Wang Yan looked at his watch. It was 10:30 in the morning. As expected, they would definitely be able to gather before 2 pm. The event would start at 8 pm, which was more than enough time.
"That's enough. In fact, there is no need for any deliberate promotion. You can just negotiate with Douyu's official website. Their Weibo attention is not low now, and with the official promotion, it is completely OK."
It has to be OK even if it’s not OK.
Where does Wang Yan get the money for promotion now
All subsequent plans are counting on this wave of activities to keep us alive.
Wang Ting Entertainment invested 1.5 million, Europe and Africa Carousel 1 million, the mall will be refreshed in two days and I don’t know how much it will cost, plus the contributions from my parents... there are almost holes everywhere.
The investment in Wangting Entertainment alone has drained Wang Yan of all his breathing wages up to now.
No, it’s actually not enough.
There were 1.02 million in the system on the 1st, and today, the 5th, I only managed to save 1.42 million after hitting the limit...
At that time, he had no choice but to use part of the money in Brother Dapeng's bank card - the 3.6 million used to repay the loan. After a bunch of bills passed, less than 100,000 was deducted.
The remaining money could not be used for the time being, so Wang Yan took out 1.5 million and transferred it to Xizi.
Only in this way can the seamless connection be achieved.
Otherwise, Lingya and the four of them would be temporarily suspended for three days because they did not sign a contract with the guild, which would be a lot of fun.
There was an unexpected gain from joining Wangting Entertainment - 1.5 million more experience points.
The system has already reminded you that you can still gain experience points from your investment.
Wang Yan didn't pay much attention to it before because the environment and time didn't allow it.
You won’t be able to stay in Gujiao for long, so why invest in it
After going to school in Star City, he was basically stable for four years before Wang Yan began to think about this aspect.
However, gaining investment experience points also has a disadvantage -
No matter what you invest in, you must earn back all the capital. After that, the net profit will be counted as experience value if you spend it.
Therefore, if Wang Yan plans to spend Wangting Entertainment's money to gain experience, he must at least wait until Wangting Entertainment recovers his money.
Douyu settles with the company once a month, and then the company has to reserve enough funds for development and expansion... If you are waiting to spend dividends, you will have to wait.
But the good news is that as long as the profit covers the investment of 1.5 million, the subsequent profits, even if they still remain in the company's account, can still be regarded as continued investment, thereby gaining the due experience.
Wang Yan estimated that with this company, upgrading the system should be much faster than simply spending money.
The current experience value is 1043/2500.
1.5 million investment experience, 1 million hotel deposit, 5,000 round-trip air tickets.
Wang Yan's ambition is to use the next series of operations to fill up the remaining 1,500 experience points!
If everything goes well, it should work.
The secret lies in the ridiculously exaggerated hotel deposit.
…
After they had finished talking about everything that needed to be talked about, Wang Yan and Brother Xizi clinked their glasses and cheers!
After drinking the wine, Brother Xizi clicked his lips and muttered: "The 2000 yuan champagne is really delicious, with a strong apple and pear flavor, not as sour as the 80 yuan champagne..."
Wang Yan laughed dumbly.
Brother, that's just a problem with the brewing process... The characteristic of Perrier-Jouët is its fruity aroma. What does it have to do with the price
28888 bottles of Ace of Spades are still sour!
Shaking his head, he waved to Rich: "Please take us to the restaurant."
"Okay Mr. Wang."
Arriving at the destination of this trip, The MEAT-steakhouse restaurant, executive chef Wu Jianyu was already waiting at the door.
Not only Wu Jianyu, but also a middle-aged white man, and behind him were two beautiful young ladies with perfect manners.
Rich stepped forward quickly and introduced Wang Yan: "Mr. Wang, this is Frederic Madre, our resident manager at Kerry Hotel."
Then he introduced Madre in English: "This is..."
"No Thanks, I am..."
The dignified Mr. Wang only understands these few words. On the surface, he is smiling calmly, but in his heart he is silently stern: Damn it, start learning English when you get back.
As for now...
Let’s take a blind guess: Thank you, but no introduction is needed. I have been friends with Mr. Wang for a long time. I have long heard that Mr. Wang is handsome, charming, graceful, knowledgeable, talented, outstanding, and wise. Man, I didn’t expect that when I saw him today, he turned out to be more heroic, outstanding, powerful and domineering than I expected666...
Why? !
I haven't finished translating yet, why did you stop? !
Only halfway through the blind flipping, Frederic Madre came over to shake hands. Wang Yan had to regretfully end the friendly exchange and switch to a friendly smile.
Fortunately, Rich is still working...
Damn it, all the waiters know more than me, so I’ll learn English later!
Wang Yan became angry again.
Whether it is necessary to introduce something is a matter of benevolence and wisdom. Anyway, Wang Yan thinks it is better to communicate in person. It has nothing to do with anything else. He just wants to be convenient and accurate.
"Mr. Mader warmly welcomes you to stay in Kerry, the magic city, and expresses his most sincere greetings to you. I hope that everything you feel in Kerry can be gathered into a beautiful memory for you... "
"Because your request is too urgent and difficult, Mr. Mardel has been busy until now and has not been able to go to greet you. I am deeply sorry..."
"In addition, the general manager of the hotel, Mr. Ai Bo Rui, is currently in a meeting at the group headquarters. He also entrusted me to apologize to you..."
"Fortunately, your request has been fulfilled with quality and quantity. Mr. Wu Jianyu will introduce the specific situation to you."
After translation, most of them are clichés.
However, this noodle dish is awesome.
Very awesome.
The restaurant had already begun to serve customers, and there were many waiters, employees, and customers coming and going. Two groups of people blocked the door of the restaurant and created such a grand scene, which immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
There was a group of diners consisting of three girls. They looked at Wang Yan curiously as they passed by, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
Even though I have walked past, I still look back frequently.
"Hey~ I don't know whose handsome boy this is. It's such a grand scene!"
"Yes, the executive chef has to wait nearby. I guess that white guy is at least a deputy manager. He is a handsome guy but a small person, so he has a lot of face..."
"He's really handsome. It's mine! I wonder if he will come in for dinner later?"
"What? You want to ask someone for WeChat?"
"What's wrong with WeChat? I still want... Hehe!"
"Sexy! Hey, I'm giving you goosebumps!"
The three young ladies walked away with a burst of whispers, leaving behind a scent of fragrance. Wang Yan didn't notice it at all, but Brother Xizi was already fascinated.
If the beauty of the young lady only rubbed a bright spot in his heart, then the courtesy given to Wang Yan by the resident manager and executive chef left a deep mark in his heart.
Xiaoyan is a real hidden dragon...
It was just a casual conversation. After I learned about the loan rules, I didn't take it seriously. However, Xiaoyan quietly took off and made such a big noise. Now it can make the manager of a five-star hotel collapse. Welcome...
Really awesome!
Especially, Xiaoyan's current aura is so strong that people can't understand it.
If you follow a brother like this, why worry about not being able to accomplish anything? !
In the midst of his thoughts, Wang Yunxi's belief became more and more firm - follow Xiaoyan and achieve great success!
At the same time, Wang Yan had already begun to chat with Wu Jianyu.
Wu Jianyu is the executive chef of the Kerry Hotel in Shanghai, not the chef of The MEAT steakhouse in front of him.
In terms of level, Wu Jianyu is higher and above the restaurant, but he is different from the Argentinian chef Maro at Xiangjiju Restaurant in Imperial City.
Wu Jianyu is actually a Malay. He is very young, but his level is very famous in the industry. He was on the Malay celebrity list more than ten years ago. However, he is still only 43 years old this year.
Chef Wu speaks Chinese very well, so Mr. Wang finally doesn't have to "spit all the butter".
"Hello, Mr. Wang."
"Hello Mr. Wu."
"It's not very convenient to talk here. How about we go in first and I show you what you ordered?"
"Thank you so much!"
Wang Yan was overjoyed. Finally, he no longer had to stand at the door and talk nonsense.
The group of people filed in, and Manager Madre basically stopped talking, but he still kept company politely.
Then Wang Yunxi received a call midway and whispered to Wang Yan: "Lingya and Mizi will be at the hotel soon. I'll pick them up."
It just so happened that it was not convenient for Brother Xizi to hear what happened next, so Wang Yan simply told them: "You can just take them to go through the formalities, and then wait for the others. I don't need to follow you here. I'll go find you when you're done."
"good."
Wang Yunxi nodded and retreated immediately.
Then, Mr. Wang continued to "inspect" the hotel work.
The MEAT is a specialty Western restaurant that specializes in steaks and barbecue. The price per person is slightly cheaper than the "Ju" in Didu Xiangji... Well, it's actually a lot cheaper.
Um, but to be fair, the steak should be pretty good.
According to Wu Jianyu, a private box plus a lobby location can accommodate more than 100 guests to dine at the same time. It is basically full on Saturdays and Sundays, and reservations are required in many cases.
In fact, the steakhouse didn't quite meet Wang Yan's requirements.
In Wang Yan's plan, the most suitable banquet occasion is high-end self-service Teppanyaki.
However, although cooking is convenient, Wang Yan's need for ingredients cannot be satisfied on occasions like outside.
Dilemma!
The MEAT is very particular about steaks. It has a visible meat room, but the kitchen is not open. Wang Yan looked at the environment in the restaurant all the way, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt it was difficult to do it.
Finally, I had to ask: "Chef Wu, I wonder if you have any solution to my cooking requirements?"
Wu Jianyu smiled mysteriously and replied: "Mr. Wang, I am just taking you to see the raw materials. The real cooking place is on the other side."
"Um?"
Wang Yan looked back in confusion, but Wu Jianyu didn't sell it anymore and said with a smile: "We also have a The Cook restaurant under our hotel, which specializes in buffet and has thirteen open operation kitchens, which can fully meet your needs."
After a pause, he added: "Tonight, I have reserved two teppanyaki and grill tables for you. Please rest assured that everything will be perfect."
"Wow Rui good!"
Wang Yan deliberately replied in Mining English, the highest courtesy, and gave a thumbs up to Manager Madre.
I was so excited that the time to wake up was here.
Wu Jianyu directed a chef to take out a piece of meat and showed it to Wang Yan, his tone becoming unusually excited.
"Mr. Wang, this is the authentic A5 Japanese Wagyu you want!"
"I can guarantee that unlike those fake Australian beef on the market that are branded as Japanese Wagyu beef, it is pure and the best beef we can get at Shangri-La!"
"Even though it's not the best Mishima cow - we can't get that thing, every one is reserved from birth."
"But it is authentic Matsusaka beef produced in Mie Prefecture. The annual output is less than 500 kilograms of real A5!"
Wu Jianyu's state is really fanatical, even somewhat unfit for his status as executive chef.
But if you think about it carefully, it actually makes sense.
There are more than 2,250 Michelin-starred restaurants in the world, with at least 5,000 star chefs. How much does A5 Matsusaka beef cost per year
Even if divided equally, each chef can only get 100g!
In front of me, there are 15 kilograms of Matsusaka Wagyu beef and 30 kilograms of Kobe Wagyu beef!
Shangri-La Hotel really worked hard for Wang Yan's request.
Wang Yan had to solemnly thank Manager Madre again.
How to describe the difficulty of obtaining this thing
First of all, the import of Japanese beef has not been allowed in China since 2001.
Secondly, Kobe Wagyu and Matsusaka Wagyu are not exported.
Finally, due to the scarcity of production, A5 grade Wagyu beef is often consumed locally.
In China, if you don’t have a special status, trying to eat real Matsusaka Wagyu beef is simply a dream.
It has nothing to do with money. You are willing to pay twice the price to buy it. Sorry, they are not willing to sell it!
Wang Yan's request was met not only because he was a Diamond Member of the Golden Circle, his VIP level was high enough, and Xiangji wanted to lock in customers, etc.
More importantly, those beef occasions.
A new, larger-scale Big Eater live broadcast. The participants are four new anchors who now almost monopolize 80% of the mukbang market, as well as three up-and-coming newcomers.
At first, the person who communicated with Wang Yan was only the customer of the reservation department, and then he became the manager of the reservation department, and then the deputy general manager of the hotel. Then the general manager Ai Bo Rui made the decision to deal with this troublesome matter, and within 3 days Just get it all done.
Magic City Kerry, as well as Mr. Ai himself, need this publicity so much.
This is why Wang Yan can use four anchors who have not yet obtained them to leverage such a big thing.
The total price of beef is not high, but the origin is important.
Neither export nor import is allowed, so where does it come from
Don’t ask, just ask, it’s Australian Wagyu beef, it comes from the formal way!
Looking at the five pieces of beef in total, with fine frost lines on the cut surface and as beautiful as snowflakes, Mr. Wang was very satisfied.
Quietly asked: "How much does it cost per kilogram?"
As soon as Wu Jianyu moved his lips, Wang Yan immediately added: "You don't need to say the purchase price, just tell me how much you plan to sell me."
Wu Jianyu breathed a sigh of relief and made a joke: "I'm afraid you'll feel bad if I sell it by the kilogram, so just sell it by the gram! 100g, Matsusaka beef 3,000, Kobe beef 2,000."
"good!"
Wang Yan clapped his hands and was extremely happy.
Wu Jianyu and Rich were both confused. After listening to the translation, Madre manager was also confused.
I really don’t understand young men like you. It’s obvious that we have already increased the price. How can we get better? !
Of course Wang Yan couldn't explain it, so he just shook his head and smiled mysteriously.
Well, it’s inscrutable, it’s inscrutable!
After looking at the main ingredient, beef, Wu Jianyu asked the chef to take out a head of garlic, peel off the skin, and introduce it to Wang Yan in detail.
"Mr. Wang, look, this is special garlic that we specially imported from Gilroy in the United States. It is called ppboy locally. I have tried cooking with it."
"This is a type of garlic that does not bolt, so its economic value is low and few people grow it."
"But it has a sweet taste and a sweet aftertaste. Although it has a strong spiciness, it does not hurt your stomach. It is a variety that is very suitable for your requirements."
"In terms of price, it is not particularly expensive, but I'm sorry, we have to include labor, air transportation, expedited customs clearance and other costs for you, because you want it too urgently and we really don't have time to go through normal channels."
"The price is based on kilograms. A total of 30 kilograms were shipped, which is equivalent to one kilogram in RMB... uh, 15,000 yuan."
After finishing the calculation, Wu Jianyu himself was trembling a little and feeling very uneasy.
Damn, use my favorite Luyou No. 1, it only costs over 6 yuan per kilogram!
What did you say you were planning
Then, the young and handsome Mr. Wang looked happy and slapped him again.
"good!"
Yes, I’m convinced!
Wu Jianyu really wanted to imitate those young people and vomit, but... he felt powerless.
Wang Yan was really satisfied.
Extremely satisfied.
The reason for using garlic instead of chili pepper is because only the spicy condiment that reaches your stomach counts.
One hundred grams of extremely spicy chili powder is enough to kill those anchors.
For chili peppers that are not that spicy, cooking is a problem, but how to eat so much is another problem.
Garlic is good!
Mr. Wang’s original way of eating - Wagyu beef wrapped in garlic!
A piece of meat wrapped in a dozen thin garlic slices is not a problem at all.
Garlic has a moderate spiciness, is appetizing, and aids digestion. In other words, you will definitely eat more than chili peppers of the same spiciness.
With the amount of food that big eaters can eat, one bite, why can't they eat several kilograms
The poor four anchors had just signed the contract and were waiting for the meeting gift with great anticipation. However, they saw a table of A5 Wagyu beef. Their expressions must have been very surprising.
Immediately afterwards, a huge pot of garlic slices was served...
Wang Yan was really looking forward to it.
Brothers and sisters, wait, the feast is coming soon!
