In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 409 Why does that person look so familiar?

After arriving at the hotel, the two started by looking around the first floor, and then took the elevator to the second and third floors.

The area of ​​each floor is as Yu Dawei had anticipated, approximately less than 300 square meters. Due to various renovations and partitions, it appears to have a large number of rooms, and the distance between the east and west sides is also quite significant.

After looking around, Yu Dawei found that the hotel's decor and facilities were fairly business-like, not much different from the hotels he had stayed in in his previous life.

If there really is any difference, it might be in the postmodern interior design. Compared to now, future hotel interior designs will be more aesthetically pleasing and incorporate many intelligent features, all due to the progress of the times.

Yu Dawei felt that even if he told Yu Zhouzhou all this, she simply wouldn't be able to do it.

So throughout the whole process he kept saying, "Not bad, not bad, much better than the design on my brother's side."

Yu Zhouzhou was quite pleased with this. She had put a lot of effort into this hotel in Luohu, including the overall design style and the layout and furnishings of the rooms, which were all simplified versions of the designs of foreign business hotels.

Yu Zhouzhou led Yu Dawei to the third floor and randomly opened a room. The room was very unique in its layout. There was a long table against the wall at the entrance, and the bathroom was next to it.

Yu Zhouzhou's bathroom design is quite bold, using transparent glass with a curtain inside. Business people don't need to understand it, and non-business people understand it but don't.

Although Yu Zhouzhou is a non-marriage advocate, it doesn't mean she's a vegetarian. She has her own understanding of this kind of thoughtful design.

"So, young man, do you have any suggestions for the design of the room?" Yu Zhouzhou opened the door and invited Yu Dawei in first, then turned on the lights in the room.

“No problem, there’s a table, a kettle and cups for tea, slippers, a telephone, a TV, and a small packet of free tea... It’s quite nice.” Yu Dawei glanced at the contraceptive device next to the TV cabinet. “Tsk tsk, you’re really thoughtful, you’ve even prepared this. But I doubt many people in your business hotel use it.”

Yu Dawei was indirectly saying that this thing didn't quite fit the business atmosphere here.

“Hehe, you don’t understand, bro.” Yu Zhouzhou leaned close to Yu Dawei’s ear and whispered, “My place is very remote, and many people from the Luohu center came here precisely because of that.”

“There are a few rooms that aren’t very soundproof. You can hear them when you pass by. Do you want to go and listen?” Yu Zhouzhou looked at her strong and burly young man with a smile.

It has to be said that Yu Dawei is all muscle and has thick eyebrows and big eyes, so he's not bad-looking. It's just a pity that he's my cousin, and the head of the Yu family. I can't afford to offend him.

"Be careful not to get sores on your ears." Yu Dawei rolled his eyes, hands in his pockets. "I don't see anything wrong with you here. I can't see anything wrong with you. How about we go back to Futian?"

"No, you've come all this way, let me show you my office." Yu Zhouzhou reached out and grabbed Yu Dawei's arm, and headed towards the hotel room on the far west side.

This room is the same size as the other accommodation rooms, but Yu Zhouzhou specially converted it into an office. Unlike the accommodation rooms, the decoration style here is darker gray, and the floor tiles are even black, giving it an overall dark feel.

A black dagger hangs on the wall as a decorative painting, and behind it is a metal armor ornament, more than a meter tall.

In addition, there is a tumbler punching bag for boxing.

Yu Dawei looked surprised; it seemed that his second uncle's younger sister had a bit of a violent tendency.

"How about it? I usually like to stay in the office when I have nothing to do." Yu Zhouzhou led Yu Dawei to the punching bag. "Want to throw a few punches?"

Yu Dawei is a playful person by nature. When he saw the boxing equipment, he couldn't resist going up and trying it out. He hit the boxer several times and had a lot of fun.

The two then sat at the coffee table by the window, and Yu Zhouzhou began to make tea for Yu Dawei: "Brother, you've seen the hotel. I worked tirelessly on this hotel back then. The decoration style in Futian is very similar to this one, including the large characters on the door."

“But there’s one problem that’s been bothering me: no matter how much I renovate or how much effort I put in, I feel like I still can’t get my hotel to gain recognition.” Yu Zhouzhou sighed and placed the brewed tea in front of Yu Dawei.

"Brand recognition? Achieving that through interior design seems a bit difficult." Yu Dawei recalled the chain hotels he had stayed in before. "Do you plan to continue expanding the number of your hotels in the future?"

“Of course, I don’t just want to open a hotel in Shenzhen, I also want to open one in other cities in Guangdong Province. If I have enough money, I might even try opening one in the neighboring province and then open one back in Haicheng.” Yu Zhouzhou picked up her white porcelain teacup and took a small sip.

She will never forget how she was looked down upon by the locals in Haicheng when she was a child. They called her a little rascal... haha.

Sooner or later, when she goes back, she will show those classmates who once looked down on her the business that she, Yu Zhouzhou, built with her own hands.

“If the numbers add up, then you could try a chain hotel.” Yu Dawei put down his teacup and pondered for a moment.

"Chain hotels? The investment costs must be very high." Yu Zhouzhou was full of curiosity. Although she knew that there were chain hotels abroad, their level of luxury was beyond her reach, even her older brother couldn't afford it. "No, cost isn't the key factor, operation is." Yu Dawei smiled at Zhouzhou's inquisitive look. "I've heard a saying: first-class companies build culture, second-class companies build brands, and third-class companies make products. That may not be entirely true, but branding is very important."

"There are two ways to make people remember your brand. One is the decoration style, and the most important part of this is the exterior decoration, such as the color of the storefront and the lighting effect at night." Yu Dawei placed his teacup in the middle. "You see, people only think of drinking water when they are thirsty."

"The same applies to hotels. The importance of a hotel only becomes apparent at night, so the building's lighting and entrance lights are very important... In addition, service is also crucial; chain hotels all have membership programs..."

In the following time, Yu Dawei told Zhouzhou all his insights from staying in various chain hotels in his previous life.

Of course, Yu Dawei didn't explain many things clearly; most of them were just snippets of thought that suddenly came to mind.

Ultimately, it was up to Yu Zhouzhou herself to summarize, but that's about all Yu Dawei could manage.

The two chatted in the office until almost noon, and Yu Zhouzhou's smile never faded, indicating that she had gained a lot from this interaction with Yu Dawei.

"Hey bro, what would you like to eat? Lunch's on me!" Yu Zhouzhou gave herself a big thumbs up.

"Anything is fine, I'm not picky, I'll eat whatever's available." Yu Dawei finished his tea and felt a little embarrassed when he saw Yu Zhouzhou's grateful gaze.

From his perspective, he didn't feel that he had helped Yu Zhouzhou much. In fact, he had almost forgotten many of his hotel experiences, and Yu Zhouzhou had to figure them out herself.

“No way, since you’re here, I have to treat you to a big meal. I remember there’s a famous private restaurant nearby. I heard the chef studied abroad. Why don’t we go and try it together?” Yu Zhouzhou looked at Yu Dawei with a smile.

"Okay, whatever you say." Yu Dawei had no objections.

Just as the two left the office and were about to take the elevator, Yu Dawei's eyes widened as he looked down the corridor, filled with shock and disbelief.

"What's wrong, bro?" Yu Zhouzhou was about to close the door and come out when she looked up and saw Yu Dawei's utterly shocked scene.

"Shh!" Yu Dawei instinctively covered Yu Zhouzhou's mouth, then took a step and pulled Yu Zhouzhou into the house, quickly locking the door behind him.

A man and a woman were walking towards the elevator in the corridor. At this moment, the woman with a ponytail seemed to hear a sound behind her, but when she turned around, she found that there was no one there.

The woman didn't think much of it and followed the man beside her toward the elevator.

"No no no!"

In the office, Yu Zhouzhou's mouth was tightly covered by Yu Dawei. She stared blankly at Yu Dawei, wondering what he had just seen. She was quite curious as well.

"Shh, hide behind me and don't say anything." After saying that, Yu Dawei let go of her hand, pulled Yu Zhouzhou behind him, and quietly opened the door a crack.

Then Yu Dawei moved his eyes to the crack in the door and stared intently at the woman's back in the corridor.

Body shape, appearance, clothes, even shoes, exactly the same, exactly the same... Wow! Is this some kind of melodramatic cliché?!

"That shouldn't be the case." Yu Dawei was still doubting his eyes at this moment.

After all, in his interactions with her, his sister-in-law always seemed to love her brother very much, as did her family and the baby. That's the kind of person she is.

How could it suddenly collapse!

"Hey bro~ So what exactly did you see? Just tell me!" Yu Zhouzhou's inner gossip was burning fiercely.

Her hotel has a lot of problems, and if she's right, the young man must have seen something he shouldn't have, and he's currently in a state of disbelief.

However, she just loves this kind of gossip. She's never seen anything like this in your dad's hotel since she was little, which is one of the reasons why she likes running a hotel so much.

"Wait a minute, I... I need to double-check." Yu Dawei's face was full of black lines at this moment. How could an outsider like him see this kind of thing?
