I want to be a giant of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 295 [Hotel King] (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

Dongfang News has set up an editorial team to take charge of the solicitation of drafts for the 'New School of Martial Arts Novels', which can be said to be very important!

In order to prevent good books from being buried, each manuscript will be reviewed by two editors to determine whether it can enter the second round of PK.

Manuscripts that enter the second round will be watched by at least five editors, and then scored to enter the final round.

Manuscripts that can enter the finals will basically be selected to be serialized in Ming Pao; as for sharing 10 Hong Kong dollars, the top ten must be selected.

In the first month, there were very few manuscripts. After all, Dongfang News required that the number of submissions should be more than 3 words; this era is not a fast-food article for later generations, so few people have enough manuscripts in the first month.

In the second month, the number of contributors began to increase, and the level naturally varied.

In the third month, the number of manuscripts skyrocketed, and Lu Qingshan had to arrange for the editors to work overtime.

When Wu Guangyao saw the final ranking, he couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, he really found a great god - Gu Long.

But Gu Long's ranking is a bit embarrassing, it is only No.5!
Is this really one of the four masters of the new school of martial arts novels?
Wu Guangyao felt relieved after thinking about it. After all, Gu Long was just entering the workplace, and the ones ahead of him might be those who really have literary skills and love martial arts novels.

These people are not well-known in later generations, probably because they don't have bonuses and royalties that make their hearts beat!
The bonuses and manuscript fees of Oriental News this time were at a high level even in the 60s, so it is normal for these people to be excited!

"Well, the top ten authors, our newspaper office needs to win them over!"

"Yes, I will have someone contact them one-on-one!"

Wu Guangyao thought for a while, and then said to Lu Qingshan: "Our company should pay more attention to the issue of copyright; for excellent works, we should try our best to lure them for profit and buy them out. This can be used as a license for our media group in the future. The copyright of filming and TV series; if you don't want to buy it out, you must sign a contract, stipulating that all copyrights must be bought and sold by our company, and the profits will be divided into [-]-[-]!"

Naturally, Wu Guangyao wanted to get all the copyrights of excellent works, but if he bought and sold them by force, it might cause other people's resentment!
Therefore, seducing them for profit is the kingly way!

When Lu Qingshan heard Wu Guangyao said that he would enter the field of film production in the future, he immediately understood the importance of copyright, and said, "Don't worry, the boss, not everyone has a vision. Now we just need to buy with money, and it will not be difficult!"

Gu Long received the letter from Dongfang Press and opened the envelope with excitement.

"No.5, great! There is a bonus of 5000 Hong Kong dollars, and a manuscript fee of 20 thousand words!"

In fact, Gu Long didn't really think that he could get No.1 at the beginning; after all, the scope of this call for papers is all over Asia, so how could it be that he, a fledgling, snooped on it.

Now that I got No.5, I am very satisfied!

Gu Long told Zheng Yuexia the good news, and Zheng Yuexia was also very happy;

5000 Hong Kong dollars is equivalent to 50 months' wages for male workers on Hong Kong Island, while my lover only spends less than half a year; plus the manuscript fee, the situation of the two of them is much better!
In October, Charles accepted an exclusive interview with Oriental Daily and introduced Shining Star Hotel Management Company in detail;

In the United States, the achievements of owning a five-star Ritz-Carlton Hotel and seven mid-range Holiday Inns are also generously stated;

Shining Star Hotel Management will open two five-star hotels on Hong Kong Island, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel and a Shangri-La Hotel.

For a time, Hong Kong and Kowloon were shocked!
What courage!
Two hotels of this scale are unprecedented and unheard of in Hong Kong Island;

Even the Peninsula Hotel is much inferior, although the Peninsula Hotel has a history of more than 30 years; but compared to history, the Ritz-Carlton Hotel has a longer history and is more meaningful!

You must know that Mr. Ritz, the founder of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, is known as the "father of the world's luxury hotels".

When the Yangtze River Center commercial complex was first planned, there were some small shocks in the hotel industry on Hong Kong Island; the two 18-story hotels were the first such high-rise hotels to appear.

However, Lawrence Kadoorie at that time did not realize the seriousness of the matter, because he did not expect that Wu Guangyao could win the signboard of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

A rookie who has just entered the hotel industry has a high probability of failure, and on the contrary, the probability of success is very low!
When Charles accepted an exclusive interview with "Oriental Daily", everything really came to light!
Lawrence Kadoorie panicked, the enemy is too powerful!

Wu Guangyao's ambition is too great!
There are two five-star hotels, one of which is the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, and the other is a five-star hotel with Asian characteristics.

Moreover, the management of Shining Star Hotel has invested a total of 400 million US dollars in the decoration of the two hotels, so the hotel decoration materials are directly imported from the United States.

Not only that, the management of the two hotels will be directly transferred from the United States (the local management will be trained later), so as to provide real gentleman service;

The management of Shining Star Hotel also ordered 16 Rolls-Royces in London, which will be used as hotel cars at that time.

When the car is actually opened, these people will understand what it means to be unreasonable!
Moreover, when the Ritz-Carlton Hotel opened, Wu Guangyao had already booked Princess Margot to come and cut the ribbon; by then, people on Hong Kong Island would understand that Wu Guangyao's power was by no means limited to the small Hong Kong Island.

Here I have to mention that Princess Margot’s history seems to have been changed a lot by Wu Guangyao; originally Princess Margot should meet someone suitable for marriage this year, but last time when Wu Guangyao went to London to meet her, he specifically asked After a while, it didn't!
Wu Guangyao wondered, could it be that he himself changed history!

The relationship between the two is good, but it is absolutely impossible to develop into a relationship of lovers, because Wu Guangyao is married!
However, Princess Marge has a history of extramarital affairs in later generations, and Wu Guangyao is not completely out of ideas;
That kind of super-friendship that is just for fun, as a man, he still doesn't suffer!

Lawrence Kadoorie held a management meeting in the conference room of the Peninsula Hotel to discuss Wu Guangyao's menacing offensive!
"Our Peninsula Hotel is the official designated reception hotel on Hong Kong Island. For a long time, politicians and celebrities from various countries have long been accustomed to the Peninsula Hotel. You don’t have to worry. Besides, even if there is no Wu Guangyao, there will be other people entering the hotel industry. It’s a matter of time.” A shareholder said, this is actually very reasonable, and there will only be more and more luxury hotels on Hong Kong Island. It is the Peninsula Hotel that can monopolize it.

Lawrence Jiadao thought about it, and said: "Having said that, we must be nervous. The Ritz-Carlton is a hotel worthy of respect. Hearing what the American said, all the management of the Ritz-Carlton All layers will be mobilized from the United States. If so, their service level will be higher; so we have to do better in this regard!"

Everyone in the conference room agreed that although everyone would not feel a crisis, they must have a sense of tension, otherwise they would underestimate the opponent and be easily knocked down.

Lawrence Kadoorie was not only thinking in his heart that the Chinese proposed to open a Chinese restaurant in the Peninsula Hotel to attract Chinese;

Because I was worried about being boycotted by those Europeans and Americans, I finally gave up;
Is this why he made up his mind to run the hotel?
Shaking off the thoughts in his mind, Lawrence Kadoorie felt that with Wu Guangyao's financial resources, sooner or later he would enter this field;
Of course, the Peninsula Hotel has many advantages, just one official designated hotel on Hong Kong Island has incomparable advantages!
Moreover, it is impossible for Hong Kong Island officials to hand over this designation to a Chinese, or a spoiler who has just entered the industry.

"God of Wealth is generous this time! The decoration cost is 2400 million Hong Kong dollars, and all the hotel decoration materials are imported from the United States. It's too rich!"

"2400 million Hong Kong dollars is nothing to the God of Wealth, not worth mentioning! But two five-star hotels are much more important to the God of Wealth's business map! It seems that God of Wealth has another nickname Got the 'hotel king'”

"It's worthy of the name! The God of Wealth has already acquired a Ritz-Carlton Hotel in the United States, and operates 7 mid-range Holiday Inns. This is the key point! It shows that the God of Wealth has long been planning to enter the hotel industry! This is With the advantage of having money, ordinary people need to start from scratch when entering the hotel industry, but the God of Wealth only needs to buy.”

"Haha, our Chinese ambitions are greatly boosted! Anyway, the hotel is open, and I'm going to stay for two nights to try something new!"

"It won't be very expensive!"

"How expensive can it be? There are close to 300 rooms in a hotel. If it is too expensive, you will definitely not be able to live there. Why do you think others are stupid? I think there are still rooms for 30 Hong Kong dollars a night."

People on Hong Kong Island are talking about this time, but Wu Guangyao himself has always been the object of discussion among the people on Hong Kong Island; if you count the frequency, the people on Hong Kong Island mention Wu Guangyao at least once a day on average!

In terms of personal prestige, even the governor of Hong Kong is far behind Wu Guangyao!

This can be regarded as Wu Guangyao's confidence, so Wu Guangyao often rescues the people in order to gain a reputation, a reputation that scares the Hong Kong government!
