"Mr. Black, your... selected hotel has a good idea, but judging from the current situation, not many of us can afford it."

When Carter finished talking about the idea of ​​​​selected hotel brands, there was some uproar among the attendees.

Facing the scene before him, Carter had already thought of an excuse:

"Hahaha, I think it still has some significance. I believe that with the pace of your opening up, more and more foreign guests will come here in the future! Can't every foreign guest come and arrange it at the State Guesthouse?"

"That place, to be honest, I felt it was unsuitable for me to live there! It is not a place where a small businessman like me should live. Next time I come here, I hope there will be a place that can make my stay more comfortable and comfortable."

A better environment!"

"Ah... Mr. Black, you have misunderstood. In addition to hotels... we actually have guest houses. For other foreign guests, we will arrange for them to stay in guest houses of relevant units. For example, temporarily visiting diplomats can stay at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Guest houses; business inspection personnel can stay in the guest houses of the Ministry of Commerce or our municipal government. Hotels are usually open to those visiting relatives and friends, or those who do not have a letter of introduction from their employer."

So these days guest houses are of higher quality than hotels?!

Carter was a little stunned. After all, in his impression, most guest houses were similar to small hotels on the street. Of course, except for some BJ's...

"It's okay. I'll just open one in a city for the time being. In addition to foreign guests visiting on official business, what if there are tourists? If they don't have official letters with them, they still have to stay in the hotel! Besides, in addition to the wedding banquet,

It can be the main business for Chinese consumers. It’s OK to be frugal in daily life, but I think people are still willing to spend money on a wedding banquet that may only happen once in a lifetime!”

After a brief explanation, Carter decided that it would be better to show off his cards directly:

"In addition, I also have my own selfish motives. Even if this hotel can only be regarded as a comfortable mid-range hotel in my eyes, in your words, except for some guest houses such as the State Guesthouse, it is the highest grade. In other words, I only

For the price of a mid-range hotel, you can establish the impression of a high-end hotel in the minds of Chinese consumers."

"Once this concept is implanted in people's hearts, it will take root! When people's spending power here increases, it will be easy for me to enter the high-end hotel market. Don't blame me for speaking directly. At this point, it is basically possible to invest in China.

That’s two purposes.”

"First, I want to use the cheap labor here to reduce the production costs of my own company. But I don't have a manufacturing company, so I can't use this."

"Second, they are coveting this market, hoping that through the first-mover advantage, they can take the lead in planting a habit and a concept in the minds of consumers in this market. This consumption habit and traditional inherent impression will make these people

After the income rises, whenever you think of related needs, we will be the first thing you think of! This is what I want now, so even if it is a loss, I still hope that these four selected hotels can be opened."

Carter even said that he would rather lose money than open a business, and the others would naturally not object. Anyway, no matter whether he loses money or not, money will always come in!

The biggest difference between the four selected hotels and ordinary chain hotels is that the rooms will be equipped with TVs, and the hotels will be equipped with restaurants and banquet halls, and will provide ordering services for the rooms. On this basis, Carter has added a travel pick-up service for them.

.

In addition to providing paid travel services to customers, concierge vehicles deployed in hotels can also be rented as wedding cars for customers at wedding banquets! In China in 1981, cars were not only rare items, but at least they were valuable items.

!

What are the standards for booking a wedding banquet here? I will arrange a wedding car for you. How honorable is that?!

Just because of this, Carter felt... losing money shouldn't be a loss at all, at most it wouldn't make any money!

Based on the current situation, Carter did some calculations. The first is the increase in building area. It's easy to say. After all, the cost of this area is not high now. The main reason is that the additional color TVs, cars, etc. are different from other hotels. The hotel's value-added service equipment is more valuable.

.

There is nothing much to say about the car for the time being. There are some in China, but neither the comfort nor the quality are in line with Carter's strategic expectations of turning mid-range into high-end. Then the only choice is to consider importing, whether it is Toyota's Crown or Nissan's Duke.

It's easy to get discounted prices with Carter.

After all, they are all acquaintances who have a cooperative relationship. According to the standard of three cars for a selected hotel. A total of 12 imported cars are needed, which is about more than 90,000 US dollars. Converted into RMB, an increase of about 161,000 US dollars is needed.

cost.

When it comes to color TVs, Carter has to admit that China has given him a surprise! Originally, Carter thought that color TVs would also need to be imported. Color TVs in the 1980s were quite expensive. Color TVs such as Hitachi and Sony were 14-inch these days.

It's about more than 2,000 yuan for the 18-inch one, and more than 3,000 yuan for the 18-inch one. For just ten rooms, the cost will increase by more than 30,000 yuan. Even if the number of selected hotel rooms is cut by Carter to 50, it will still cost no less than 150,000 yuan.

expenditure.

But at this time, people from the municipal hotel company told themselves that China could actually produce color TVs! On October 22, 1980, at the Tianjin State-owned Radio Factory, a color TV production line imported from Japan's Victory Company and improved upon was officially put into operation

Operation. Color TVs in China are not just a laboratory product. They already have the preliminary ability to mass produce color TVs!

For a production line that has been put into operation for less than a year, you can tell that the current production capacity is definitely out of balance. Just when Carter was worried about whether he could buy a color TV made in Tianjin, Han Xue immediately stated that he could definitely do it!

In addition to expressing gratitude for accepting the public-private partnership, think about it, if you spend this money on imports, wouldn't the foreign exchange you can earn domestically be less? Just for the sake of foreign exchange, even if you transfer it, it will

I need to get myself some color TV sets!

The localization of color TVs directly allowed Carter to save more than half of the cost in this part. In the end, the construction cost of a selected hotel will only be about 250,000 higher than that of an ordinary chain store...

In addition to the cost of occupying four selected hotels, Carter still has about 9 million yuan for store construction. On average, a city can allocate 2.25 million yuan. Not counting land costs, there are exactly 25 stores in one city. One of them

Selected, 24 common chains.

"Then let's first assume that these 25 stores need to use the land provided by you, and each store covers an area of ​​800 square meters, and your land price is 400,000 yuan. The new Homeinn Hotel single-city company, assets

The total value is about 2.9 million yuan, and your investment of 400,000 will account for 13.8% of the shares."

"If I purchase land on my own in the suburbs and build a store during this period, your investment will be reduced accordingly. That is, in the new Homeinn Hotel Group, your maximum shareholding ratio should not exceed

13.8%, the voting weight is the same. There is no distinction between preferred shares and common shares. Can you think about this situation and accept it?"

"Oh, by the way, in order to protect your rights and interests and to better cooperate with you in taking corresponding regulatory measures. I can promise that no matter what the final site selection situation is, I will ensure that your shareholding ratio is not less than 10%

,how?"
