Shenhao UP Lord

Chapter 137 Heaven to Hell

"Hey, the ones I mentioned just now are all low-end goods. The really beautiful ones will go through the other exit of the business center, where only our taxis are allowed to stop and carry passengers."

As if thinking of something, Lao Sun blushed and said, "They won't face the embarrassment of being watched by everyone because they yelled loudly, so they can get into the car quickly and easily."

"When we meet someone like this, we don't use the meter at all, as long as we get on the bus, the starting price is [-]!"

"At that time, I still had seven or eight regular customers. I was in charge of pick-up and drop-off after get off work, and I got tips when I was drunk. That feeling..."

Shishi really can't listen to it anymore, and wants to leave but is afraid that the boss will be unhappy. Didn't you see Goutuanzi and Sakura in high spirits?

"At first it was a goldfish bowl, and later it was a catwalk show." Lao Sun lit another cigarette and said, "Everyone in swimsuits walked like a catwalk under the watchful eyes of the audience, applauding from the audience."

"You don't need to ask the price, just look at the number plate on your waist. The six-digit number is six hundred, and the eight-character number is eight hundred."

"KTV plays a one-stop game, such as golf, high mountains and flowing water, posting couplets, little bees, truth words..."

"I heard that there is another internal training called the Four Principles?"

"You can't grab a customer...can't refuse...can't ask for a tip...can't ask for a phone"

"You can't chat during breaks, and you can't hang out, for fear that people will run away."

The more Ding Xu listened, the more shocked he became. As expected of a man's paradise, he played really well.It's a pity that many things can't be broadcast, so I can only listen to them for fun.

Everyone boarded the car again, followed Lao Sun for field investigation, and came to Swan Lake Street. I heard that this place was originally one of the most famous. There used to be more than a dozen hotels, seven or eight KTVs, and countless small hotels within a kilometer distance. .

"At that time, the phone on this street kept ringing since Thursday. I don't know how many people went through customs and even made phone reservations from all over the country. On weekends, there were people everywhere, the roadside was full of cars, and every hotel was full."

"Look now!"

Although there are still a few hotels in operation on the street in the camera, there is no feeling of feasting and feasting at all. There are few vehicles, pedestrians are deserted, and advertisements for renting shops can be seen everywhere.

Many KTVs with bright lights and ambiguous colors have turned into nursing homes, incubators, and office rooms...

Passing by a hotel, Lao Sun recalled: "Did you see that Perth Hotel?"

"It was definitely the most beautiful boy back then. There may be traffic jams on this road 24 hours a day, and drivers in all directions are honking their horns wildly."

"On weekends, those men from Hong Kong Island drove here in groups, and National Highway 107 was blocked for two hours and couldn't move."

"Have you heard of the movie All the Way West?"

"Actually, it was called Dongguan Forest at first, but I didn't know why it was renamed later!"

Looking at it all the way, according to Lao Sun's description, there were at least hundreds of hotels in this area at the time, and if each hotel had [-] beds, it would be tens of thousands?
Full weekend?

"What's the situation now?" Ding Xu couldn't help asking, looking at the depression in his eyes, "Where did those people go?"

"Go wherever you make money!" Old Sun said with a smile, "Women are used to earning quick money and still work hard?"

Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was very heavy. Although the old grandson did not hide it, his words were not harsh, and his existence made sense, not to mention that this place was once glorious.

"Actually, before the star-rated hotel took over our place, it used to be the most famous factory in the world, such as clothing, toys, electrical appliances..."

"Just say that my hometown Qingxi relies on making computers. Ten years ago, five out of every ten electric appliances in the world were produced there, believe it or not?"

"At that time, Dongguan was called gold everywhere!"

After listening to Lao Sun's story, Ding Xu suddenly realized that more and more business opportunities will be born here after the economic opening up, and there will naturally be more luxury hotels.

Due to the lack of a standardized system, the businessmen who came to do business at the beginning gradually deteriorated. As the scale and reputation gradually expanded, the guests who made a special trip to play unknowingly became the mainstream?

It even forms a local logic by default: Cracking down on entertainment will hit foreign businessmen, and cracking down on foreign businessmen will affect the economy?
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. This kind of days where you can make money while lying down can only last until 08. After the financial turmoil, the global economy was hit hard, and here, which is an OEM for the world, is no exception.

Competitiveness has begun to decline due to rising labor costs. Many overseas companies have shifted their orders to Southeast Asian countries in consideration of cost issues.

These remaining Taiwanese-funded enterprises mainly focus on traditional processing trade, not the modern high-end industries advocated by the local government. Therefore, the government and banks will definitely not take special care of them, and they will gradually become more and more marginalized.

"At that time, many people still dreamed of making a comeback. Did you see the Dongfang Tianyu Hotel next to the North Road?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Lao Sun continued: "At that time, the boss was ambitious and determined to show his talents and overwhelm the others. In the end, he was raided and the hotel was closed down. Do you think it's unlucky?"

"Many friends who run a hotel feel that although that time was great, they will eventually pass. It is this kind of thinking that keeps them going."

"I'll do the math for you. The biggest cost of these high-end hotels comes from the central air-conditioning, which cannot be saved. As long as the air-conditioning is in operation, it can't be turned off, right?"

"Moisture will cause mildew in the building and furniture of the room, resulting in damage to the property. The central air-conditioning costs 8 yuan per square meter per month. A five-star hotel with a building area of ​​6 square meters has a monthly central air-conditioning electricity fee of three 40."

"Five million yuan is in vain in a year, and dozens of people have to be paid wages."

"A [-]-square-meter five-star hotel is valued at least [-] million at its peak, and no one dares to accept a [-] million offer now."

"It means that there is neither a market nor a price, and you can't bear it psychologically. This is the way of doing business. As long as you can last a day, you have to hold on to it. It looks beautiful on the surface, but it is actually very painful."

"After a few years of hard work, now..."

"no hope!"

"It's all changed!"

"At that time, the cash in the banks of several towns was directly withdrawn!"

At the end of the interview, Ding Xu stood in front of the camera and said seriously: "Did you guys see it?"

"Now all hotels are monitored without blind spots, and a reward of up to 5000 yuan can be obtained for reporting a violation."

"All the motorcycle taxis who have ever solicited customers are proper anti-yellow fighters. If any illegal activities in the community are found and have not been found out, the staff of the entire neighborhood committee will be punished!"

"The original KTV was demolished, and the original sauna room was converted into an office building, or rented out for training, whatever. We must survive."

"The first floor lobby of many hotels is more than 100 square meters, but now it has been reduced to more than [-] square meters, and everything else is made into catering to drive popularity."

"I just saw that the unlucky Oriental Tianyu Hotel is now converted into a business incubator, and it is now one of the hottest industries here."

"Brother Xu feels that Dongguan's biggest worry is the change in the mentality of the local people. They used to only do supporting facilities. When the factory came here, it only provided land to build factories and solve the problem of food and accommodation for workers."

"The manufacturing industry is so difficult now, and you don't want to invest in technological innovation. How do you survive now, the same as ten years ago?"

"Lying down and making money is gone forever!"
