The moment Ye Kai stepped onto the red carpet, the welcoming music immediately started playing.
It was only then that Ye Kai discovered that the military band was hidden behind the sea of ??fiery red flowers. At this time, the various flowers placed at the door formed a "welcoming pine" pattern, while the military band came out from behind and drums played in unison.
"This song should be Backgammon, right?" Ye Kai said to Tang Mu beside him.
"It's really better, after some adaptations." Tang Mu was also startled by the scene in front of him, thinking that Songhua Industrial was really willing to spend money and put up such a big pomp to welcome Mayor Ye. The number of personnel mobilized definitely exceeded a hundred people.
Not to mention anything else, just counting the rent for the sea of ??flowers in front of you and the band, it costs tens of thousands of dollars, not to mention the scarlet carpet on the ground and the guests who have been waiting here for who knows how long. Ladies, the cost required is naturally a considerable amount.
The most important point is that Tang Mu has noticed at this time that this hour should be the busier reception time of the hotel. There should be a lot of guests eating and staying, especially since the Songhua Hotel is strategically located in Yunqiu. It is in the center of the city with convenient transportation and there should be many guests here.
But as they saw, the huge hotel seemed to have stopped hosting guests, and everyone took action to prepare to welcome Ye Kai and his party.
The losses caused by this are really huge.
Ye Kai's guards, Li Hai, and the others looked highly nervous at this time, and their eyes quickly swept around. The more people talk in a place, the easier it is to hide some hidden dangers.
Ye Kai had just walked a few steps towards the front steps of the hotel when he saw Chen Ran and others walking over quickly. Among them was a young man who looked smart and capable. He was surrounded by people and was smiling. His face was a little bit The tense feeling must be Wang Song, the chairman of Songhua Industrial.
Sure enough, a few people from the opposite side walked up first, and everyone stood in the middle and said hello.
"I, Chairman of Songhua Industrial, Wang Song, would like to welcome Mayor Ye to visit us. It is a great honor for our company to be prosperous." The young man among them announced his family name and warmly welcomed Ye Kai and others.
Ye Kai waved his hand generously and said, "This time when I come here, except for the secretary, only the security guard is with me. It is considered a semi-public and semi-private visit. Director Wang does not need to be too polite. Your company has caused such a big scene. It really surprised Ye a little, there is no need to be so public."
"It should, it should." Wang Songqiang said with a smile, "Mayor Ye has a high position and a young man. If we are too simple, it will be inappropriate. It cannot be justified. It cannot be justified."
Then, Wang Song and others welcomed Ye Kai and his party into the hotel.
In the lobby on the top floor, space has long been vacated. In the VIP private room with an area of ??more than 200 square meters, there are at least twenty waiters and five or six people wearing chef uniforms. It looks like a hotel. The gold medal chef is waiting here with a recipe in his hand.
In the center of the private room, there is a huge rotating round table, which should be the seat for twenty-four guests. The huge glass disk slowly rotates in the center, and tableware has already been prepared at each guest's seat. Just wait for the guests to be seated.
"Your company is really wealthy. Even the tableware in the restaurant is made of sterling silver." Ye Kai just glanced at it and smiled lightly.
Sure enough, as Ye Kai said, everything from dinner plates to wine utensils, as well as knives, forks, spoons, chopsticks, etc. are all made of sterling silver. Under the light of the huge crystal lamp in the private room, they look very dazzling. , and all the glass ornaments are made of crystal glass imported from Europe, and are even more valuable.
As for the chairs around the dining table, they are also made of mahogany, supplemented by leather packaging, and they look very comfortable.
What makes people even more impressed are the waiters in the room. They are innocent little girls, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. They wear uniform light blue pinstriped shirts and cover their buttocks underneath. tight black short skirt.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? That is why these girls can¡¯t stand the crowd, and they are neatly dressed. Looking at them as a whole, it does give people a surprising and surprising feeling.
"It's just a swollen face to pretend to be fat." Wang Song seemed a little worried that Ye Kai would use this excuse to accuse them of not paying back their debts, so he explained, "Here in Jianghuai Province, we have more opportunities to receive foreigners. So sometimes, we have to decorate the facade to prevent the foreign devils from looking down upon us. The Songhua Hotel is our company's own property, so these investments can be regarded as the company's public relations materials. Once invested, they can be used many times.Generally speaking, it is quite cost-effective. "
"What Mr. Wang said is true." After Ye Kai sat down, he leaned back, squinted at the set of large crystal lamps hanging above his head, and suddenly said, "Handmade in Austria. A set of crystal chandeliers estimated to be worth millions, right?"
"Mayor Ye has a good eye. It is indeed an Austrian crystal lamp." Chen Ran, who was next to him, explained with a smile, "We had business dealings with Austria at first, but later their factory went bankrupt and some debts could not be collected. When we came back, we simply pulled back part of the crystal lamps in their warehouse. The crystal lamps installed in our hotel came from this. In terms of value alone, we actually did not suffer a loss."
A young girl sitting next to Chen Ran interjected, "It's really not a disadvantage. The crystals in Austria are more beautiful than those in China, and the craftsmanship is more advanced. An accessory the size of a thumb costs a lot of money. Such a big chandelier only costs a million, which is really not expensive.¡±
As she said that, the girl took out her handbag and let everyone take a look at the crystal accessories on it, which seemed to indicate that this thing was indeed relatively expensive.
Ye Kai talked casually and found that all of these people looked nervous, as if they were worried about something. He couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. It seemed that the current atmosphere was not bad enough. At least when the creditor came to the door, the debtor still felt a little guilty. of.
But he also knew very well that the reason why these people felt guilty in front of him was just because they were facing Ye Kai. If they were ordinary people, they would definitely not behave like this.
Chen Ran¡¯s status as deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee alone is enough to scare the crap out of creditors.
The fact that Dongshan City¡¯s debts were never recovered may have something to do with the identities and backgrounds of these people.
After both parties took their seats, Wang Song waved and the head chef came over.
¡°Show the menu to Mayor Ye and see if there is anything inappropriate.¡± Wang Song ordered the chef.
The head chef immediately sent the menu to Ye Kai, and stood aside to help him explain the characteristics of each dish in a low voice.
Ye Kai flipped through the menu and saw that their menu was full of pictures and texts, all of which were specially printed on coated paper. The dishes on it were beautiful in color, as if they were seen in person. They were indeed very tempting, and each dish was on one page. There is also an introduction by the master chef and the characteristics of the dishes, etc., which is very complete.
At this time, it is indeed a bit unexpected that a company's own hotel can do this.
"My people are basically all from the north. If you have suitable staple food, just prepare a few more dishes. Otherwise, just do as you please." Ye Kai is not a very picky person, and the food prepared by the other party , obviously it has been carefully arranged, so from the taste point of view, there is nothing taboo, and there are no niche tastes.
The only thing that surprised Ye Kai was that the special dishes prepared in their hotel were all nationally protected animals, so-called game feasts.
Salmons and pangolins are really rare in the north. Although Ye Kai himself has eaten them, his subordinates don't have much chance, so Ye Kai didn't say anything when he saw them, and just treated them as a way to improve his subordinates. Food is served.
As for the words about protecting animals and not eating them, Ye Kai didn't take them too seriously.
In fact, most of the public is unaware that the number of these protected animals dying on the dining table every year is estimated to be only a few more than the number of humans dying in traffic accidents.
The so-called law is only to protect the interests of a few people.
Ye Kai vaguely remembers that once, when an official was talking about protecting the finless porpoise, he made a big lie and said that there was nothing good about the finless porpoise, it was not delicious at all.
This incident triggered a series of comments, so some people said that the reason why giant pandas are strictly protected is actually because their meat is delicious. If such delicacies become extinct, leaders will want to Let¡¯s have a taste, but there¡¯s no chance.
Therefore, extinct animals cannot blame others. They can only blame their own meat for being unpalatable and not being protected.
"Mayor Ye, you have worked hard all the way. On behalf of all the shareholders and all employees of Songhua Industrial, I would like to express my highest respect to Mayor Ye. I will drink this glass first to show my intentions." Wang Song raised his glass and said first Expressing respect for Ye Kai, he drank a glass of aged Maotai liquor worth hundreds of yuan.
Everyone started to use their chopsticks to eat. Ye Kai nodded and said, "Director Wang is interested, but we will make some arrangements later."Just a simple meal, but don¡¯t get involved in wild protected animals. Although such things are rare, I am an animal protectionist myself. "
"Haha, these are not wild. In fact, they are all domesticated. The domesticated ones just have a wild name, which makes them more popular. It is the same as this product that is exported to domestic sales." Wang Song listened, I couldn't help but sneer a little, thinking that you are still an animal protectionist. I saw the giant salamander just now, and you ate the most. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
