Festival Gift Pack, Foundation Solidified

Late at night, Zhang Yang slept in his long-unused room, the scent of the blankets freshly sun-dried filling his nostrils, and he felt completely relaxed.

The door was tightly closed, but light from the living room lights shone through the crack in the door.

Zhang Yang put his hands behind his head and vaguely heard his parents talking in the living room, reminiscing about the past and appreciating the present. He couldn't help but smile.

"We'll talk about the villa later," Zhang Yang muttered to himself.

Since we've already told them, the villa is still under renovation and we can't move in yet, so we might as well wait until it's finished and ready to move in before telling them everything.

By then, my parents' small business might have already been upgraded again.

Zhang Yang's mind wandered, and as he thought about it, drowsiness overcame him, and he fell into a deep sleep.

He didn't know how much time had passed. In his sleep, he vaguely heard a "ding" from the system, but the night was already deep, and who could distinguish between dreams and reality?

Zhang Yang naturally ignored it.

The next morning, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Zhang Yang opened his eyes and then sat up abruptly.

"Mid-Autumn Festival gift package?"

I almost forgot, given the system's generosity, they always serve some fancy dishes to add to the festive atmosphere during holidays.

And on this traditional Chinese festival, it is naturally impossible not to express our gratitude.

Zhang Yang's entire attention was focused on the system, or more precisely, on the latest gift pack lying in the system.

Mid-Autumn Festival Special Gift Package.

"System, open the gift pack!"

Zhang Yang silently recited without hesitation.

[Celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day with a Double Festival Gift Package!]

[Congratulations, host! You have acquired full ownership of the Yinghai landmark: Yinghai Four Seasons Hotel]

Early in the morning, Zhang Yang was overjoyed to see this industry.

The Yinghai Four Seasons Hotel is a landmark in Yinghai!

This hotel is located in the heart of Yinghai Old Town, with a building area of 120,000 square meters and a total height of over 200 meters. From the initial land acquisition to the completion of the hotel, the total investment was over 1 billion yuan.

Because the Yinghai is close to the city center, where building height is restricted, Yinghai is already the tallest building in the city at just over 200 meters. Calling it a landmark building is no exaggeration.

"The combined holiday gift package is truly extraordinary," Zhang Yang muttered to himself.

Everyone says that hotels are hard to recoup, but the key is that you don't need to recoup your investment yourself. The investment is given to you directly by the system, and all the profits are yours.

Yinghai Four Seasons Hotel, which are among the most prestigious luxury hotels in Yinghai, were designed to meet the highest standards in every aspect from the very beginning of their construction. Whether it's accommodation, dining, or banquets and conferences, they are the first choice for many customers.

In terms of profitability, there's naturally no need to worry.

Zhang Yang truly never expected that, after all the twists and turns, the system would arrange such a wonderful gift for him in his hometown.

Upon reflection, he seemed to understand.

Yinghai is his hometown, and it should be the place where he has the most solid foundation and the most stable roots. After all, his parents and relatives are here, and his roots are here.

But in reality, his only business in Yinghai is the Star City World Commercial Street.

Although the commercial street claims to have two hundred shops, most of them are small shops, with a total value of only a few hundred million. As for the rent, it is only in the tens of millions per year.

It's not that Zhang Yang thinks it's too little.

Rather, it means that as their hometown, the place where they should be managing their business to the best of their ability, their base of operations, a business worth only a few hundred million is clearly not presentable.

But now, the system has been arranged.

Yinghai, after all, just a strong third-tier coastal city. In a city of this size, having an enterprise that firmly holds the top spot among the city's five-star hotels is more than enough.

"From now on, I'll use this hotel as a base to cultivate my network of connections. With that, my headquarters will be secure." Zhang Yang chuckled.

He's no longer some twenty-five-year-old greenhorn.

In terms of industry scale, including the Yinghai Four Seasons Hotel, its total assets are estimated to be around seven billion yuan.

In terms of personal ability and skills, he possesses the experience of a Fortune 500 CEO, plus the added advantages of good looks and charisma, making his personal charm invincible.

With a little effort, managing one's own little plot of land in Yinghai will naturally be a piece of cake.

As usual, the system is currently still processing the property rights.

However, given the system's incredible capabilities, I can basically just sit back and wait.

Zhang Yang was in a very good mood. He drew back the curtains, and the morning sunlight immediately streamed into the room, making it bright and airy.

With the window half-open, the crisp autumn morning breeze wafted into the room.

"Get up."

Such a fruitful Mid-Autumn Festival was truly unforgettable for him.

Stepping out of the room, Zhang Yang realized that his parents had already gone to the restaurant. On the table was a prepared breakfast: vegetable porridge, steamed buns and shumai from the breakfast stall downstairs—a whole table full of food.

On the phone, Zhang Zhaohai's voice message arrived late.

"Zhang Yang, your mother and I will go to the restaurant first. We just visited your grandfather yesterday. You can go about your business."

Zhang Yang calmly washed up and replied to messages.

If the two elderly people are willing to move in with us, that would be wonderful for everyone.

If they are unwilling and still prefer the life of raising chickens and geese in the countryside, then buying a new rural villa near their old house would allow the two elderly people to live a fulfilling life.

··

At 7:30 a. m., after breakfast, Zhang Yang went downstairs and headed straight for the parking space in front of the building.

Of the three luxury cars that were parked together last night, only Zhang Yang's Cullinan remains in the parking space.

Looking at the Cullinan in front of me, then back at my old apartment building, and then at the thought that my parents' Maybach and Bentley would still be parked downstairs for a while, a strong sense of incongruity instantly welled up in my heart.

"Moving to a new house is really urgent, but thankfully, it'll be soon..." Zhang Yang muttered to himself.

Lin Jingmin reported to me about the progress of the villa project every two or three days.

After all, they are our own people whom we know well, so they are naturally reliable. In addition, this order is big enough, and the decoration company is making arrangements in a tight schedule, with basically overlapping construction. Unless necessary, there will not be long intervals of work stoppage.

Therefore, there is basically a major change every month.

According to the planned schedule, it is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

It'll be soon.

Around eight or nine in the morning, Zhang Yang drove his Cullinan straight to his Purple Garden No. 1 Villa Complex. He hadn't given any prior notice beforehand; he just wanted to take a look around.

Outside the villa complex, the Cullinan was parked casually on the roadside.

Zhang Yang leaned against the car, watching the bustling activity inside and outside the villa, and leisurely smoked a cigarette.

"Happy Holiday, Mr. Zhang!" With such a bright Cullinan parked outside, the supervisor in the villa naturally came out to greet him immediately.

"Where's Lin Jingmin? Didn't she come?" Zhang Yang offered her a cigarette and asked casually.

"Sister Jingmin comes almost every day, but she'll probably be a little late today. It seems she has some things to take care of at the company." The supervisor said with a smile, "Would you like to come in and take a look?"

"Take me on a tour." Zhang Yang nodded.

Since he was already there, it wouldn't be right to leave without taking a look around, so he immediately asked the person in charge at the site to show him around and check on the progress.

From the initial bare shell to the demolition and alteration of the civil engineering, including the wiring of water and electricity, and the wall finishes...

The project has now progressed to the installation phase of the relevant facilities.

The overall effect is already beginning to take shape...

To be honest, he hadn't looked at the decoration of the house in Peach Blossom Spring that closely. Although the decoration of that house cost hundreds of millions, it was handed over to a truly top-notch team, and there was no rush. Overall, the idea was to take it slow and do a fine job with meticulous craftsmanship.

Therefore, he is in a state of letting go.

But this house is for my parents; strictly speaking, it's more like my home back in my hometown.

He can't help but care.

After going around the entire area, Zhang Yang noticed even some inconspicuous details and found them almost flawless.

"As expected, she's someone I know well. Lin Jingmin is quite capable... no, she does a good job." Zhang Yang thought to himself, quite satisfied with the current renovation results.

Although the budget for Peach Blossom Spring is 100 million yuan, the area is so huge... It's called a villa, but it's actually a huge courtyard house, a large mansion, so it's only natural that it would cost a fortune.

Here, with a usable area of 700 square meters and a budget of 15 million, it can be considered luxurious, at least in Yinghai.

Jade Villa Decoration and Design Company naturally wouldn't take it lightly.

At noon, Zhang Yang, who had just stepped out of the villa, finally received a pleasant notification from the system, and immediately felt refreshed.

All ownership rights of the Four Seasons Hotel have been transferred.

This iconic building in Yinghai, a premier luxury five-star hotel in the area, has finally been acquired by him.

"Let's go, let's go."

Zhang Yang got into the Cullinan and headed straight to a local accounting firm, ready to take over his business.

··

Around noon, after completing all the formalities, Zhang Yang finally became the de facto owner of the Yinghai Four Seasons Hotel.

There's no need for a surprise attack.

Before going, Zhang Yang made a phone call to the current GM of the hotel and drove straight to the Four Seasons Hotel.

Afternoon, Four Seasons Hotel.

The building has a full glass curtain wall, is over 200 meters high, and has more than 40 floors.

The black Cullinan sat quietly in front of the fountain in the hotel lobby. The current management of the Four Seasons Hotel, from the General Manager to the heads of various departments, had been waiting by the car, lining up to meet the new boss.

"Hello Mr. Zhang, I am Anderson, the GM of the Four Seasons Hotel."

"Welcome, Mr. Zhang. I am Zhang Tong, the housekeeping manager."

··

Zhang Yang shook hands with each person one by one, his gaze sweeping over their faces. After one look, he had already matched the names with theirs.

This is also a basic skill for CEOs of Fortune 500 companies.

They can basically remember the names of anyone they've met once, especially their subordinates.

The managers present, facing the gaze of this new boss, immediately felt a powerful aura emanating from him, and were all filled with awe.

"Anderson." After getting acquainted with him, Zhang Yang looked at the GM of the Four Seasons Hotel.

This person has been the hotel's GM since the Yinghai Four Seasons Hotel opened, so his abilities are absolutely reliable. As for loyalty... well, professional managers are meant to serve the boss.

Now that he's the boss, the GM naturally aligns everything with him. As for other minor details, there's no rush; under his watchful eye, all sorts of filth and corruption can't be hidden anyway.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm here. Please give me your instructions." Anderson hurried forward, sweat beading on his forehead and nose.

"Don't be nervous. I came in a hurry. Arrange lunch for me and bring me the latest relevant reports while you're at it," Zhang Yang instructed before heading straight to the hotel.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang." Anderson quickly caught up with his new boss.

Behind him, a group of managers stood with varying expressions, some even appearing slightly pale, as if they were burdened with worries.

The hotel lobby is decorated in a magnificent and tasteful style, with an indescribable sense of design and spatial beauty.

The tall, beautiful hotel receptionists, seeing the hotel's management escorting a powerful young man as he walked in, immediately fell silent, instinctively straightening their backs and adopting a more professional demeanor.

Once the crowd had dispersed, they began to whisper among themselves.

"Who is this important person that requires President An to accompany him personally?"

"I never expected that President An, who usually has such a high and mighty demeanor, would actually show such an expression?"

What expression?

"Flattery, ingratiation..."

"Shh, keep your voice down, the walls have ears..."

The Four Seasons Hotel's executive staff manages the floor, in a huge office with the best view.

Zhang Yang sat unceremoniously in the huge executive chair, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window more than 200 meters high, overlooking the entire Yinghai urban area.

It's often said that being down-to-earth brings a sense of security.

He's standing on a 200-meter-tall building, within his own company—the feeling is truly...

A moment later, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The food cart was personally pushed in by General Manager Anderson, along with various stamped and signed paper reports and documents.

"Mr. Zhang, the relevant reports for the first few quarters of this year are all here." Anderson bowed low, personally serving dishes and food with great eagerness. "And this is lunch I just had the Chinese chef prepare; I don't know if it suits your taste."

"I'm not picky about food," Zhang Yang said, glancing at the incredibly attentive Anderson. "Alright, thank you for your hard work."

"It is my duty to serve Mr. Zhang." Anderson glanced at the thick stack of reports on the table and tentatively asked, "Then... shall I await your instructions?"

"Okay, you can go ahead and do your thing." Zhang Yang nodded and prepared to eat.

Anderson, sensing the situation, quickly left first.

A moment later, the huge office fell silent.

While enjoying his first lunch at his new business, Zhang Yang quickly flipped through the reports in his hands.

The reports contain a large amount of information, making it unrealistic to review them all in a short time. However, given his current abilities, he naturally knows where to look and where the key points are.

As I flipped through the pages, information about the hotel came to mind.

"What a behemoth!" Zhang Yang couldn't help but exclaim.

From 300 suites of various styles, dozens of banquet halls and meeting rooms, to the executive lounge, several themed restaurants with different styles, to swimming pools, gyms, bars, and all kinds of facilities, it has everything you need.

As for net profit...

It's not a five-star hotel in a first-tier city, but it has the advantage of being large in scale. Last year, its net profit reached more than 70 million.

"Wow, that's over 70 million." Zhang Yang was a little surprised, but also felt it was reasonable.

After all, the Four Seasons Hotel's positioning in Yinghai City is what it is.

Since its construction began, it has been the subject of much discussion, and after its opening, it quickly became the most luxurious five-star hotel in Yinghai.

Locals with some status generally hold their banquets and business meetings at the Four Seasons Hotel. As for guest rooms, in addition to local clients, business people from other places visiting Yinghai also primarily choose the Four Seasons Hotel.

So this profit isn't surprising.
