The leisurely life of the rich start

"Teachers, you have worked so hard! We will take you to the hotel first, and you have a good night's rest. We will pick you up to the racecourse tomorrow.

If there is no accident, the two will live in the hotel for the next six months.

All expenses during your stay in the hotel will also be borne by us. "

Lan Chao nodded and said: "Great, thank you, and I will trouble you both to convey our thanks to your boss on our behalf."

Zhao Xuyang stretched out his hand to invite: "You are welcome, please get in the car."

...

After the two of Zhao Xuyang left, He Yan, who had already checked into the hotel, called Lan Chao to the hotel's executive lounge.

"Sister He, what do you want from me?" Lan Chao happily took a bottle of mineral water in the self-service area, and sat opposite He Yan, "This time, the employer is so generous, he directly arranged for us to live in Ritz-Carlton." Executive room in Dunton! This seems to be the best hotel in downtown Jinling, right?"

"The treatment is really good!" He Yan also showed a smile on her face, "By the way, I didn't have the nerve to ask before, you said that the new employer may be our 'acquaintance', what does that mean?"

Lan Chao smiled and said, "Sister He, think about it. The Xiangjiang Jockey Club has a total of more than 1 members. How many of them live in Jinling?"

"You mean, it might be that gentleman who hired us?" He Yan said hesitantly, "But I have seen a video of him participating in an equestrian competition, and the equestrian skills he showed must have someone behind him." Master pointed out, why would you hire us again?"

"Haha, so I'm just guessing." Lan Chao said, "However, if we are really lucky enough to be that gentleman's equestrian coach, we will be honored if we tell it later!"

Chapter 366 We Can't Teach You Like This

The next day, Mingda Racecourse.

Zhang Da and Cheng Mingming met two equestrian coaches in the office.

He Yan, who was still worrying about whether her employer would get along well yesterday, now has a smile on her face:

"Mr. Zhang, hello! It's a great honor to have the opportunity to train equestrianism with you!"

Lan Chao, who has been joking all the time, now calms down a bit:

"Mr. Zhang, hello, thank you for your hospitality!"

"Hello, two coaches." Zhang Da greeted the two to sit down, "Thank you for willing to go to Jinling and serve as my equestrian coach."

"We are also very grateful to Mr. Zhang for giving us this opportunity." Lan Chao said on behalf of the two, "Look, shall we go to the equestrian field now?"

"Okay, let's go now!" Zhang Da stood up and said, "Have you brought your equestrian uniforms? If you haven't, we have new ones here."

Although the two of them each brought a sports bag, out of courtesy, he still asked.

Sure enough, He Yan pointed to the sports bag she and Lan Chao put at their feet and said, "Mr. Zhang, we all carry equestrian clothes with us."

Lan Chao also nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then come with me."

Zhang Da nodded and took the lead out of the office.

After changing their equipment, the group brought Zhang Da's two white horses to the equestrian field.

"Mr. Zhang, I have actually watched the video of your dressage competition." Lan Chao said, "Judging from your performance in the video, I think your skills are very skilled.

However, that was a video from three years ago after all.Therefore, I would like to ask you to perform all the basic moves of dressage first, so that I can have a more accurate assessment of your current strength. "

"No problem, then I'll start now."

Zhang Da nodded, turned over and rode on the back of the "Jade Lion" horse, and took the top hat from the horse farm manager Zhu Jun.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Da, who had demonstrated all the basic moves of dressage, received unanimous applause from the two coaches.

"Mr. Zhang, I can see that your foundation is very solid." Lan Chao said from the bottom of his heart, "You must have worked hard back then."

"Haha, it's not hard work." Zhang Da said honestly, "Compared with two such professional equestrians, I'm still far behind."

"Where, Mr. Zhang, let me tell the truth, some professional equestrians don't master the basic movements as well as you." Lan Chao said, "If it's convenient, can you perform another free show?"

"Of course." Zhang Da nodded and said to Zhu Jun, "Manager Zhu, play the music."

The free show, the last of the three competitions in the official dressage competition.

This is a competition in which the rider and the horse perform their own music and choreography.

One of Zhang Da's favorite songs recently is "Wake up wheel ends" by Green Day.

As the music sounded, Zhang Da directed the "Jade Lion" and stepped on familiar steps.

After the performance, Lan Chao and He Yan looked at each other strangely.

From each other's eyes, they both saw each other's doubts:

"With Mr. Zhang's level, it seems that there is no need to hire a coach?"

Zhang Da took off his top hat, got off his horse, led the "Jade Lion" and walked up to the two of them and asked humbly:

"Teachers, do you think there are any deficiencies?"

"Mr. Zhang, from my point of view, your performance just now was perfect. Even I may not be able to do so well." Lan Chao thought for a while, and said truthfully, "If you must pick the bones in the egg, It would be even better if you could put a little more smile on your face!"

"Thank you, I will pay attention." Zhang Da nodded towards Lan Chao, and then cast a questioning look at He Yan, "Teacher He, what do you think?"

"Mr. Zhang, I don't see any problems." He Yan said, "Also, please call me by my name. The so-called 'master is the teacher', at least in the event of dressage, I feel that I can't afford it." Your title of 'teacher', or, in terms of dressage alone, I should call you teacher."

"Mr. Zhang, Sister He and I agree." Lan Chao said, "Just call us by our first names."

Cheng Mingming, who was wearing a mask, opened his mouth in surprise.

Why did the coach she hired with so much money almost become Zhang Da's fans?

"Then let me use 'coach' to call you two first." Zhang Da said with a smile, "Next, let's go to the obstacle course to practice?"

"Okay, Mr. Zhang!"

The two coaches nodded in unison, and then looked at each other again.

They now firmly believe that the reason why Zhang Da hired the two of them must be to improve the strength of the jumping competition.

Just, 20 minutes later...

The two were completely lost in the spring breeze of Jinling.

Zhang Da's performance in the jumping competition is also beyond reproach.

He Yan wanted to speak, but hesitated: "Mr. Zhang...ah no, Mr. Zhang!"

Lan Chao was full of admiration and gave Zhang Da a thumbs up.

Cheng Mingming: "..."

She worked so hard to communicate with Xiangjiang Jockey Club that the two coaches who had been hired for a long time were going to go home on the first day.

However, Zhang Da still asked from the side: "Two coaches, if you have any questions, I welcome you to ask them."

Lan Chao said helplessly: "Mr. Zhang, we really can't teach you a high-level rider."

"That's right, Mr. Zhang." He Yan also said, "It's a complete loss to the domestic equestrian community that an excellent rider like you has only participated in one equestrian competition."

...

In the end, Lan Chao and He Yan voluntarily resigned from Zhang Da, resigning from the status of coaches who had only lasted less than an hour on the equestrian field.

The two not only gave up all the teaching expenses, but also offered to bear the expenses of board, lodging and air tickets.

In this regard, Zhang Da naturally chose to refuse.

Under Zhang Da's repeated requests, the two returned to the hotel in the Phantom with a thank-you fee of 5 yuan and a return business class ticket.

At night, Lan Chao, who was sitting in the executive lounge, asked as if waking up from a dream: "Sister He, you said we are in Jinling this time, why are we here?"

"Of course it's a public-funded tour!" He Yan has adjusted her mentality now, "Besides, isn't it great to meet such a famous and prominent figure as Mr. Zhang in private?"

Lan Chao scratched his head and said, "It's good, it's just that the money is not safe to hold."

He Yan said: "Why don't you donate to Project Hope? I heard that Mr. Zhang owns a charitable foundation, but unfortunately they don't accept social donations."

"Sister He, you have a good idea!" Lan Chao raised a glass of cocktail and said, "I wish us a pleasant journey!"

“Have a nice trip!”

Chapter 367

In the villa at the racecourse, Zhang Da was sitting on the sofa, watching the Winter Olympics.

Cheng Mingming was sitting beside him, looking at him sideways: "I don't understand."

Zhang Da turned his head and asked suspiciously: "What don't you understand?"

Cheng Mingming pouted and said, "I feel like I've been busy for nothing this week."

"How could it be?" Zhang Da laughed, "I feel that after what happened during the day, I have more confidence in the game."

Cheng Mingming asked suspiciously, "Really?"

Zhang Da nodded seriously: "Of course!"

After one night, Cheng Mingming had no more doubts about this matter.

...

A week later, within the Mingda Group, the first discussion meeting on the construction of the shopping mall was held.

Qian Chen and Zhou Zhou, who are currently in the probationary period, attended the meeting on behalf of the future management of the mall.

"Because there are new colleagues here today, let me first talk about the group's positioning for this shopping mall." Zhang Xiang took the lead in speaking,

"This Mingda Plaza is aimed at Jinling's current best shopping mall, Kidd Plaza. In order to achieve this goal, the group plans to introduce some businesses that have never entered the Jinling market.

Mr. Qian and Mr. Zhou, from your professional perspective, is this plan feasible? "

"If you want to be a vice president, this plan is naturally feasible!" Qian Chen, who has become accustomed to the group's internal titles, said, "If a shopping mall can exclusively operate some brands, it will naturally have an advantage in the competition with its peers. "

"Yes, if you want to be the vice president, this plan is definitely feasible." Zhou Zhou echoed, "In addition, after joining the group, Mr. Qian and I have also studied the business model of Kidd Plaza. I found that they are connected to the shopping mall. The Ritz-Carlton Hotel gathered many potential customers for the mall.

The cheapest room in the Ritz-Carlton is more than 1900 yuan per night in the off-season, and the price of a slightly higher-end room has doubled.

Residents who can accept such a high room rate are naturally the target group for luxury consumption.

Moreover, this hotel funded and built by Kidd Plaza has also increased the popularity of the mall.

I have consulted several business development leaders of high-end hotels, and many high-end hotels are willing to sell naming rights.

If we can also open a high-end hotel next to Mingda Plaza, and add the prefix "Minda" to the name of the hotel, I believe it will also play a role in promoting the mall. "

Zhang Xiang said with a smile: "The conclusion you have come up with is actually the same as Mr. Zhang's idea."

"That's right, I originally planned to follow the example of Kidd Plaza and open a high-end hotel next to the shopping mall, and at the same time build a passage to connect the shopping mall and the hotel." Zhang Da nodded, "It's currently on my shortlist Yes, there are two high-end hotels, the Peninsula Hotel and the Bulgari Hotel.”

As soon as these words came out, Qian Chen and Zhou Zhou suddenly showed surprise smiles on their faces.

Peninsula Hotel and Bulgari Hotel are definitely the world's top luxury hotel brands.

It seems that the group's ambitions for this shopping mall are obviously bigger than they imagined!

"Among the two hotels, I prefer the Peninsula Hotel." Zhang Da went on to say, "First, the Peninsula Hotel has a longer history than the Bulgari Hotel. Second, I can partner with the management of the Peninsula Hotel." It is relatively easier to talk about cooperation.”

The chairman of Peninsula Hotel is also a member of Xiangjiang Jockey Club.

Through the internal channels of the Jockey Club, Zhang Da can directly contact the other party.

"Mr. Zhang, if we can talk about the Peninsula Hotel, the success of the new mall will be half the battle!" Qian Chen said excitedly, "The two Peninsula Hotels currently open in Yanjing and Shencheng are both highly rated among high-end hotels. Very good. This shows that domestic consumers still recognize the Peninsula Hotel brand."

"Okay, then we will negotiate with the Peninsula Hotel first." Zhang Da said, "Also, I plan to open a Xinrongji in the shopping mall, and then open a Huaiyang cuisine restaurant."

In this regard, everyone still has no objection.

They knew that if they only discussed high-end restaurants, they together might not be as professional as Zhang Dalai.

Only Zhang Xiang said with some worry: "Mr. Zhang, Xin Rong Ji is currently in the limelight. I'm afraid they won't easily agree to our request."

"As for the vice president, your worry is very reasonable." Zhang Da nodded and said, "So, I plan to introduce the catering under Xinrongji to Jinling."

In addition to Xinrongji's signature high-end restaurant, Xinrongji Group also has many extended brands such as Rong Xiaoguan and Rongji Hot Pot.

The per capita price of these extended brands is relatively close to the people.

Especially Rong Xiaoguan can basically be regarded as the replacement of Xinrongji.
