Chapter 1042

Huo Hai's figure froze abruptly, and he turned his head to look at Huo Yu, surprise welling up in the depths of his eyes.

"Really?"

Huo Yu nodded lightly: "Otherwise, why would you be flown to 'Yahai'? To pick up girls?"

Knowing that his younger brother wouldn't joke about such an important matter, Huo Hai's complexion instantly flooded with joy, and he stepped forward, wrapping his arm around his brother's shoulder: "You brat, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"It's not too late now. The documents have been sent to your room, and the time has been scheduled for you. Wish you success."

Having said that, Huo Yu gave a light shrug of his shoulder, shaking off Huo Hai's arm, and then walked slowly toward the elevator in his flip-flops.

Huo Hai wasn't angry either; he hurried to catch up, pestering Huo Yu from behind: "Seventh, Seventh, you have to help me with this..."

Shen Ci had a few drinks, and with the effect of the alcohol, she actually slept soundly.

Early the next morning, the hotel restaurant for breakfast was packed.

Shen Ci appeared at the breakfast table, full of energy, with a piece of toast, a fried egg, two slices of bacon, a few pieces of fruit, and a cup of black coffee in front of her.

The restaurant atmosphere was very noisy, with many children; that's how it was during the peak season here, and even the most high-end hotels seemed chaotic.

Just as she was eating, Su Zheyuan, sporting a pair of dark circles under his eyes, slowly sat down opposite Shen Ci.

Shen Ci looked up and was startled.

"Are you okay? Did you stay up all night?"

Su Zheyuan glanced at the black coffee at Shen Ci's hand, and without a word, picked it up and drank it in one gulp.

Shen Ci looked at him: "..."

The bitterness of the coffee slid down his throat, allowing him to barely muster a bit of energy. He looked at Shen Ci with lifeless eyes and said: "I'm really at my wit's end. The balcony door in my room won't close properly, and at night I can faintly hear the sound of the waves, which is so noisy I can't sleep at all."

Hearing this, Shen Ci couldn't help but laugh: "How can that be? Aren't the sounds of waves considered white noise? They should be very helpful for sleep."

"Not for me. I can't have any sound when I sleep; white noise is just noise to me." Su Zheyuan looked as if his life force had been sucked out, sighing dejectedly: "If it weren't for the fact that I have serious business this morning, I would definitely be catching up on sleep."

"Isn't Secretary Xiao Gao coming?"

"No, I gave her the day off." Su Zheyuan said as he stood up: "I'm going to get another cup of coffee."

Soon, Cheng An came down as well.

After the three finished breakfast, they took a car to Golden Bay.

Coming here this time was mainly to see the beach. Since the resort hotel was to be built by the sea, the beach location was the top priority, especially since they were building a luxury resort hotel, so the requirements for the beach had to be even more meticulous.

"Zheyuan!"

As soon as they got out of the car, Su Zheyuan's local friend had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing Su Zheyuan, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him enthusiastically.

Su Zheyuan mustered his energy, hugged his friend, and hurriedly introduced: "A Ci, this is the Brother Luo I told you about. All of Baizi Bay in Yahai belongs to him; he's the local kingpin!"

"That sounds so ugly, what kingpin." Brother Luo hurriedly looked at Shen Ci to explain: "Don't listen to Zheyuan's nonsense. I just do a little business locally. You must be Miss Shen Ci, right?"

Shen Ci smiled and responded: "Hello, Brother Luo, sorry to trouble you."

"No trouble at all. Zheyuan said he wanted to come here for an inspection, and I support that ten thousand percent. So many international brand hotels are opening here. I've told Zheyuan long ago that the hotel industry here will definitely not lose money; there's no need to worry about customers at all."

As he spoke, Brother Luo led the way: "Let's go, we can talk as we walk."

At this moment, the location where they were was a semi-developed bay. Looking up, the sea level was unobstructed, and under their feet was a white sandy beach. The quality of the sand was very high, fine, soft, and dense, and it felt very comfortable to step on.

Brother Luo pointed to this area and introduced: "This is Golden Bay, considered one of the highest-quality bays in 'Yahai' at present. It hasn't been developed for long, and many groups have had their eyes on it for a long time."

"'Yahai's' hotel industry has always been in an upward trend, with new hotels opening continuously. Many five-star hotels here have been open for over a dozen years. Not only are the facilities old, but because they are built by the sea, many hotel rooms become damp and moldy due to improper maintenance."

"But even so, these hotels are still full every day, partly because they occupy good locations in major bays, and partly because their prices are more accessible."

Hearing this, Su Zheyuan nodded immediately: "The hotel we're staying at this time is just like that; it's been open for nearly twenty years. The balcony door in my room won't close tightly, and it was so noisy I didn't sleep well all night."

Brother Luo chuckled: "That's how it is. Old hotels that have been around for a long time will more or less have various problems, which is why new hotels will be particularly favored by high-quality tourists."

After saying this, Brother Luo pointed to an orange-yellow building in the distance: "That over there is the luxury hotel 'Jiasige' that was newly listed and opened last year. The average daily price in the off-season is also around 400-500 a night. Recently, it happens to be the winter peak season, and the calendar price for the most basic room type is around 1,200, which is eight to ten times more expensive than those old hotels."

Cheng An was so shocked his eyes widened: "It costs over 1,000 to stay for one night?"

Brother Luo nodded: "Yes, and it's in short supply, because 'Yahai' never lacks high-quality guests. Many people who come here for vacation choose to 'soak in the hotel' because the hotel has its own independent beach, and the public swimming pool and water park can satisfy daily play. A good hotel will provide value-added services of equal value, which is the correct way to open a vacation in 'Yahai'."

"Now, the competition among hotels in 'Yahai' is all about the public areas. A beautiful and comfortable public environment will attract more guests, and there's no need for guests to go to various scenic spots to check in under the scorching sun like special forces, because the most beautiful scenery can be enjoyed right in the hotel."

Speaking of this, Brother Luo looked at Su Zheyuan and reminded him: "Zheyuan, you came at the right time. Golden Bay is a very hot area, and it's unlikely that any new bays will be developed for some time to come."

"Now is the peak season, and many groups have sent people for on-site inspections. I heard that Boss Zhou of Golden Bay has been having endless social engagements recently, invited by representatives of these hotel groups to various local luxury restaurants, and he's almost been eaten sick."

Upon hearing this, Su Zheyuan hurriedly said: "Brother Luo, do you know this Boss Zhou? Can you help us set up an appointment?"

Brother Luo gave an awkward smile and said bluntly: "I know him, but my relationship with him isn't very good. If I were to introduce you, I'd probably be doing you a disservice."

Brother Luo was the owner of Baizi Bay, and the two bays were not far apart. Their businesses overlapped, so they were clearly competitors.

Su Zheyuan realized this and nodded. After pondering for a moment, he said confidently: "It's okay, I have other connections."
