Since last year, he has started sending people to first-tier cities across the country to find suitable places and select locations for hotels.
With the increase in manpower this year, work efficiency will be faster.
According to Yi Xiaohai¡¯s request, Zhao Yu gave Yanjing and Jinmen to Yi Xiaohai and put the others aside first.
Starting from April, the two branches in Jinling and the Magic City store will start operations one after another. There are many things to do. Yi Xiaohai can only choose between Yanjing and Jinmen in the north, and Yangcheng and Pengcheng in the south.
The layout of Yishi Resort Hotel before the millennium was that of a first-tier city in the country.
¡°Both Magic City and Yanjing are super first-tier cities in China at the moment. The first store in Magic City is about to open, but Yanjing has not even completed the site selection work and is already lagging behind in terms of progress.
So Yi Xiaohai decided to make arrangements for Yanjing first, and leave Yangcheng and Pengcheng alone first.
People sent by the company reported back 16 suitable locations. Zhao Yu eliminated 7 inappropriate locations, leaving 9 for Yi Xiaohai to choose from.
Qianmen Street, Dashilan Commercial Street, Xidan, Wangfujing, and Houhai are all well-established commercial districts within the second ring road of Yanjing. They are well-known and have a large flow of people.
The first thing Yi Xiaohai looked at was an 11-story building located between Houhai Park and Shichahai Park.
The name of the building is Houhai View Building. Except for the buildings on the south side, the other three sides are open green spaces.
50 meters away to the north is Houhai, and there are two beautiful parks on the east and west sides. Places with greenery and water can make people relax, and Yi Xiaohai likes it very much.
If you build a hotel with a leisure and vacation theme, it should have great development prospects.
However, the flow of people here is worse than the other four places. From a business perspective, this should be the least suitable place to open a hotel at this stage.
Qianmen Street, Dashilan Commercial Street, Xidan and Wangfujing are the four most prosperous areas in Yanjing. It is definitely no problem to open a hotel.
"Brother Zhao, what do you think"
"I recommend choosing between Dashilan Street and Qianmen Street"
Zhao Yu¡¯s choice is somewhat different from Yi Xiaohai¡¯s guess: ¡°I thought you would choose Xidan and Wangfujing¡¡±
"From the perspective of people flow, Xidan and Wangfu have the upper hand, but with the improvement of people's living standards, the tourism industry will definitely become more and more developed. The foot traffic of Dashilar and Qianmen Street, located between Tiananmen Square and the Temple of Heaven, is not It will be worse than Xidan and Wangfujing"
Zhao Yu¡¯s speculation is reasonable, and Yi Xiaohai also knows that the development of the tourism industry is more terrifying than Zhao Yu imagined.
¡°Furthermore Xidan and Wangfujing are mainly for leisure shopping, with a majority of locals, and there is little demand for hotels, while Qianmen Street and Dashilan gather tourists from all over the country, and these people are potential customers for hotels "
Many outsiders may not know Qianmen Street, but when it comes to Tiananmen Square, everyone must know it.
There are so many places to visit in Yanjing, but almost every tourist who comes here will go to Tiananmen Square to pay homage to the great man, visit the Great Hall of the People, and watch the flag-raising ceremony.
??The north side of Qianmen Street is connected to the south side of Tiananmen Square. The most important thing here is tourists.
"The unit prices of the two buildings on Qianmen Street are a bit high, while Dashilan Commercial Street is perpendicular to Qianmen Street and is an important part of the south central axis of Yanjing. It is less than one kilometer away from Tiananmen Square, and the location is not much worse than Qianmen. many¡¡"
¡°The key is that the unit price of the building on Dashilan Commercial Street is 40% cheaper than that on Qianmen Street, and if you make a one-time payment, the seller promises a 5% discount
Don¡¯t underestimate 5%. One hundred million is five million, but it¡¯s a lot.
"From what you say, I prefer Dashilan Commercial Street"
Zhao Yu nodded: "In terms of absolute location, it is definitely a little worse than Qianmen Street, but for a hotel, it is more beneficialthe passenger flow will not be reduced, but the investment cost will be lower"
Looking at the photos in front of him, Yi Xiaohai actually suffered from a phobia of choice.
Houhai has a beautiful environment, the location of Qianmen Street is excellent, Dashilan is cost-effective, and Xidan and Wangfujing are going to see huge prices in the future, so Yi Xiaohai is reluctant to give up any of them.
Seeing Yi Xiaohai's difficulty, Zhao Yu showed a smile: "I compared three locations on Qianmen Street and Dashilan. If we choose to open a store in Dashilar, then open a store at the intersection of Qianmen Street and Zhushikou West Street. , based on the flow of people in these two commercial districts and the diversion direction, the occupancy rate of the two hotels should be maintained at about 80%"
Zhao Yu had long guessed that Yi XiaohaiHe would definitely not be willing to just open a store, and he himself felt that it would be a pity to open a store in such a perfect location as Qianmen Street and Dashilar.
So he did some research in advance. Judging from the current flow of people on Litian Street, not to mention two stores, even more would be no problem at all.
Yi Xiaohai couldn't be satisfied with two stores. He had a crazy idea. Yi Xiaohai's eyes shone: "Including Xidan, Wangfujing, and Houhai, we can open five stores at the same time. According to the flow of people, there will definitely be no problem"
"Xiaohai, if you open ten or twenty stores in these locations, the business will not be bad Xidan, Wangfujing, Qianmen Street and Dashilan Commercial Street are all the core areas of Yanjing. Such local hotels It is inherently scarce, so even if you frantically open stores door to door, or open five stores on one street, there will still be a lot of customers"
Zhao Yu couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't expect Yi Xiaohai to be so greedy: "But judging from our staff reserves, it is not enough to support opening so many stores at the same time"
Yi Xiaohai and Zhao Yu have positioned the hotel as the best among boutique hotels, and the service quality must be strictly controlled. Everyone must undergo about a month of training before taking up the job.
If you open such five stores in a short period of time, the training speed of personnel will definitely not be able to keep up.
Yi Xiaohai was a little embarrassed. He was so excited that he forgot that the biggest problem in their current expansion was the training of a lot of personnel.
But Yi Xiaohai also thought about it and won all 9 properties.
Nowadays, hotel staff training is much faster, but as long as there is enough time, there will always be staff.
But when the staff is ready, such a perfect location and such a suitable building may not be available anymore.
There is already too much money to be made in the crude oil market to spend, so there is no need for Yi Xiaohai to be so prudent.
Yi Xiaohai found that he had become a nouveau riche, and he actually had a sense of revengeful consumption, which made him a little ashamed.
Zhao Yu has become accustomed to Yi Xiaohai's wealthy and somewhat crazy way of doing things. As long as it is not 9 o'clock and opens at the same time, he is not worried.
Zhao Yu has also been paying attention to house prices recently. They have risen too fast. Judging from the current speed, he may lose the bet he made with Yi Xiaohai
