My 1978 Hotel

"came back."

It has been nearly twenty days since then, and the B&B has not changed much. Except that the train track has been installed and you can take the train to visit the B&B, there are almost no other changes.

"boss."

"Thank you all for your hard work recently."

A brief meeting was held with the existing staff, including Gao Cheng and Gao Jiu, the kitchen team led by Sister Wu, Sister Chen and Sister Wang from the guest room team, and Han Dongliang, the newly hired patrol team member. There were six employees, of whom Han Dongliang had just joined the team a few days ago.

Han Dongliang was introduced by my father-in-law. He was of the same generation, about 35 or 36 years old, and still unmarried. He had served in the army for several years when he was young and was in good physical condition. He used to work away from home, but recently his parents were not feeling well and he came back to take care of them.

Although the salary at the B&B was much lower than what he could earn outside, it was close to home and convenient for him to take care of his parents. Li Feng accepted the job after receiving a call from his father-in-law and finding out more about it. The salary was 4,500 yuan a month, not including food and accommodation, and he only worked day shifts.

My daily duties include patrolling the reservoir, picking up trash, and delivering fish baskets and bait to anglers. It's a pretty easy job, but that's also because there haven't been many tourists visiting the B&B lately.

The B&B, which recently changed its name to "Ride the Wind and Waves," has a bad reputation on Douyin. I don't know what's going on, but the reputation of the B&B is getting worse and worse. Aside from a few regulars, there are basically no new fishing guests.

Museums of the same era didn't have a single guest for three to five days. Although the performances of the little wolf and the doll were loved by many people, the comments were that they only wanted to see the little wolf and the doll and would never go to the B&B to spend money.

Li Feng said thank you for your hard work. Everyone looked at each other, especially Sister Wu, Sister Chen, Sister Wang and Han Dongliang. They didn't know what to say. As for hard work, it wasn't really the case. The usual guests were the two elderly couples, Wu Zhenhua and Li Daozon.

Although the health feast is a bit complicated to prepare, Sister Wu has mastered it and can prepare it in just an hour. It's really not hard at all. If we talk about hard work, the brothers Gao Cheng and Gao Jiu have recently bought a lot of carpentry equipment.

I was busy all day with modifications, renovations, miniaturization and simplification. After all, the things I brought with me couldn't be too heavy or too many. I only needed to keep the simple and practical functions. As for the automated gadgets, I couldn't bring them with me at all.

They spent a lot of time modifying the equipment and selecting suitable equipment. They also learned some small furniture making online and bought some wood to make some samples themselves. They were very busy.

They were talking about hard work, but they were a little more tired. Li Feng smiled when he saw that everyone was quiet. "I have some good news to share with everyone. Our B&B has received some investment, and we will be undergoing a major renovation."

“Increase the number of guest rooms.”

"what?"

Sister Wu and the others were a little surprised. With the current state of the B&B business, someone actually wanted to invest in it. This person must be either a fool, a fool, or even crazy. As for Gao Ju, the Gao Cheng brothers were not surprised at all; they had known about it for a long time.

Even if Wu Tong and the others hadn't invested, I think there would be others investing in the future. After all, the boss could lead people across time and space. This was simply a miracle. There was definitely no shortage of investment, it was just that it happened faster than expected.

“The investment amount this time is relatively large.”

Li Feng looked at Sister Wu. "They're going to expand the parking lot, add a cafeteria, and build a reception gate. It's a pretty big undertaking, Dongliang. You'll have to work a bit harder."

"Boss, don't worry, I will complete the task."

Han Dongliang stood up quickly.

"No, sit down."

Li Feng pressed his hands and said with a smile. "Your salary was a little low before, so I'll give you a raise of 1,500 yuan a month. Sister Wu will have to work harder over there. Now that the cafeteria is finished, you'll be responsible for the salary there. I'll raise it to 2,500 yuan."

"Sister Chen and Sister Wang each raised 1,500 yuan."

Li Feng did not hide anything and spoke openly about the salary. Everyone got a raise. As for the brothers Gao Ju and Gao Cheng, they did not expect a salary increase, but of course they got 1,500 yuan like everyone else, and 1,000 yuan more than Sister Wu who was responsible for the cafeteria.

"thank you boss."

Everyone is very happy. Who doesn't want a salary increase? It doesn't matter to them whether they invest or not, but now that the salary has increased, it matters a lot to them. They are very happy. If they invest a few more times, they will get more salary increases.

"As for other aspects, they are not yet determined, so I won't go into details here."

Li Feng looked at Sister Wu. "Everyone, tell me, if there are any problems or situations with the B&B recently, please feel free to speak up."

"Then let me talk first."

Seeing Li Feng looking at her, Sister Wu pulled out her notebook. It was no wonder she had some issues with her supply channels. "Boss, even though you and Boss Zhang Tao are from the same hometown, I still want to say that Boss Zhang's stall is a little too small."

"Normally it's fine, but when something happens, he can't deliver the goods on time."

Sister Wu said, "We need a stable supplier with sufficient channels."

"That's a problem."

Li Feng thought about it. "Wait two days, and I'll give you a satisfactory answer."

The young man's family is in this business, so there will be no problem in finding him to source the goods. I'm just afraid that he might think the goods are too small. Fortunately, I have a good relationship with the young man, and he is now one of the owners of the B&B, so this matter will not be difficult to accomplish.

The other problems were not considered big problems and those that could be solved were solved on the spot. Those that could not be solved would be solved later and we would discuss and come up with a better solution.

"Any thing else?"

"Boss, there's a small problem with the TikTok account you gave me."

Gao Ju felt a little embarrassed. Li Feng had handed over the operation of the homestay's Douyin platform to him before he left. He just didn't expect that so many things would happen in just over half a month after he left.

"What's wrong?"

Li Feng took the phone and opened it, looking a bit stunned. "There are over 100,000 followers now. I remember there were only 30,000 or 40,000 when I left."

"Is it the performances of Little Wolf and Doll that attract fans?"

"Partly."

Gao Jue didn't dare look at Li Feng, and Li Feng thought there was something else going on. "What's the other part?"

"Boss, it seems that the other part is full of anti-fans of our B&B."

Li Feng couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea, nearly spilling it on Gao Ju. He quickly put down his cup and took the napkin Gao Cheng handed over to wipe it off. "Anti-fans, no, what happened recently? Why are these anti-fans making trouble again?"

Gao Ju looked at Li Feng, not knowing what to say. Li Feng speechlessly flipped through the recently updated videos. "Hey, when was this updated?"

"Two days ago."

This was Li Feng fiddling with his time one day out of boredom. He just took some photos of his new car for fun and said a few witty remarks. Life is not easy, he is a hedonist, and he occasionally earns a little money to think about himself, so he bought a Mercedes-Benz car.

It’s nothing, just a normal video. Li Feng muttered that the car is a little bit expensive. What’s the big deal about a Mercedes-Benz worth more than 2 million.

“Why are there so many messages?”

Wow, there are over 3,000 messages. Li Feng was a little speechless. He clicked on the messages and saw that there were all kinds of messages.

"Fuck, I'm so shocked! A two million yuan car is what those idiots buy. It's so infuriating that people still buy from such a black-hearted boss."

"Why are you pretending? It's just a junky little car worth around two million yuan. Why are you so proud..."

"There are actually people who go to this kind of ridiculous tourist attraction and spend money. Even these unscrupulous owners are making a fortune. Damn, are they really just stupid people with lots of money?"

"I'm so broken! My dream car has been taken by a ruthless boss! I'm crying."

"Brothers and sisters, we must unite and never let this kind of unscrupulous scenic spot and black-hearted boss have a good life. I have created an account to boycott Chengfengpolang B&B, please pay attention to it." There were more than 500 replies under this post, all of which were in support.

Damn, these people are so boring. They can't stand seeing others doing well. They really are worthy of being Douyin users. Li Feng clicked on the account and saw more than 30,000 followers. Damn, I really don't know what to say.

None of them have ever been to the B&B to consume, they just watched a few guiding videos, but this guy acts like he has a deep hatred for this B&B, what a fool.

"I'll post another video later. Our B&B has received a large investment, and I have to share this good news with netizens."

Li Feng will not tolerate these black fans. Little guys, I will make you feel uncomfortable again. "Oh, okay."

Gao Ju saw that the boss didn't seem angry, so he thought it was okay. He had been worried for a few days. He was responsible for helping to operate the homestay account, but such a big mistake happened. Although he gained a lot of fans, they were all black-hearted fans, and nine out of ten messages were cursing the boss.

Gao Jue was so annoyed by these fans, but he never thought the boss didn't care at all. No, the boss really cared, otherwise why would he post about the investment? Yes, yes, yes, the boss was angry, so Gao Jue quickly made a video to promote the fact that the B&B had received a large investment.

Sure enough, not long after the video was released, the clicks and comments skyrocketed. This guy's video was very targeted and directly addressed the tone of the black fans, which made the black fans explode.

"Damn, this black-hearted boss is scolding us."

"Damn, which idiot invested in this and let this black-hearted boss show off?"

"Boycott the unjust scenic spot and the black-hearted boss."

A wave of defenses were broken. Gao Jue reported and cleaned up the black fans who cursed people at the same time. All personal attacks were deleted. Just kidding, you can curse the scenic spot, but you can't attack individuals.

"Don't delete it, keep it."

Li Feng deleted some of the insulting messages when he saw Gao and said calmly, "These are just defensive tactics. In real life, I'm afraid you'd have to think twice before eating at KFC. The calmer you respond to them, the more upset they'll be."

"Announcement: the first phase of investment is 10 million."

"what?"

Gao felt that the boss was really hurting his heart, so he just gave the numbers directly. Sure enough, as soon as the first round of investment came out, the black fans became even more frustrated.

"It's the first issue, is there a second issue?"

"Nah, where are there such stupid investors? Why don't you give me a dozen?"

The defense was broken. Many of the black fans were from Jicheng College. The boycott account was created by three sophomores, two of whom were vice presidents of the Entrepreneurship Association, and the other vice president of the Literature Club was a beautiful girl.

"Too arrogant."

"what is it now?"

"Can we still go to the B&B to protest?"

"Tell me, are these investors fools? I know that there are basically no guests in the B&B right now."

"Yeah, the location was already bad, and now with all the troubles, it's already been blacklisted by Chicheng. Almost no one recommends it, so how can anyone invest in it again? It doesn't make sense."

After discussing it for a long time, several people still didn't quite understand. Anyway, they felt very uncomfortable and a little crazy, but there was no good way. No one paid attention to their messages.

"It's so uncomfortable."

"Yeah, I'm so angry that I don't even want to eat lunch." Yuzu pouted angrily.

"I really don't know what's so good about Chengfeng's shabby B&B."

Yuzi punched her roommate a few times, and her roommate was speechless. "Yuzi, maybe this B&B really has something special. But a health banquet costing over 3,000 yuan a table is nothing. A regular banquet these days costs 1,000 or 2,000 yuan."

"You do not understand."

Youzi has determined that Li Feng is a black-hearted boss and the B&B is an unjust B&B, so she should boycott it. She cannot let such a person earn even a dime. She would feel very uncomfortable if he earned even a dime.

"I don't understand."

My roommate muttered, "The B&B doesn't require an entrance fee. The Museum of the Era looks pretty good. There are also little weasels and giant salamanders. Didn't you say it was fun? Really, you just don't buy anything because you think their things are too expensive."

The boss was right. It doesn’t matter whether you eat it or not. Although his attitude was a bit arrogant, he was not wrong. My roommate Lin Taotao didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. She was even a little curious and planned to go and have fun when she had time.

"No, I have to go and see. I have to expose the scam of that black-hearted boss. Then the investors will withdraw their money and see if he still acts arrogantly." Li Youyou waved her fist. "Taotao, come with me. Lend me your hidden camera."

"That's a miniature camera, not a hidden camera."

"Same, same, all the same."

Yuzu waved her hands and said angrily, "Let's go eat."

"Didn't you say you didn't want to eat anymore?"

"I'm hungry."

Li Feng didn't know that because he posted two videos in a row, many of his followers ate an extra bowl of rice at noon. Otherwise, he would definitely regret posting these two videos. After all, it was such a waste of food.

"The heat is rising."

Li Feng muttered, "After two consecutive videos, the popularity of my homestay account is almost unmatched in the city, and the number of haters has increased again." "That's good, haters are still fans, so I don't feel any pressure to criticize them."

As for some people's words of persuasion to apologize, Li Feng deleted them directly. Black fans are hateful, and the saints deserve to be killed.

"By the way, Gao Ju, pat the little train and make it send some bullets."

"Okay, boss."

Li Feng wondered if he should set the price higher, otherwise it wouldn't meet the anti-fans' expectations. Forget it, forget it. "By the way, how's the tool modification going?"

"Good."

Gao took the phone and put it in his pocket. "Boss, do you want to take a look?"

"Okay, let's take a look first."

Coming to the back warehouse, Li Feng looked at the modification tools. Okay, this really has a bit of a steampunk feel. "How is the weight?"

"These are small tools ordered online, weighing less than 20 kilograms."

"How many of these?"

Grinding, drilling, this is a hacksaw, all of them are small, I'm afraid they must have been specially ordered.

"All five together weigh twenty kilograms."

"Yes, this stuff is good."

"Diesel or gasoline?"

"gasoline."

Gao Jue smiled and said, "I asked a friend to make this. He has a friend who likes this kind of gadget, and I asked him to introduce it to me a few days ago. There aren't many this time, but I'm ordering another batch and it will be shipped to you in a few days."

"Okay, make more. There are all kinds of talented people online now. Some people really like to make these little things."

Li Feng was quite surprised. "By the way, where's the gasoline bike?"

"Yes, the lightest one weighs more than 30 kilograms."

"Get one."

"It's best to fold it."

The little black donkey was lost, so Li Feng decided to bring a donkey that didn't eat grass, preferably one that could be folded up and carried around easily. He still didn't believe anyone could steal it. (End of this chapter)
