The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 203 Who Climbs a Mountain Without Bending Over?
Four days later.

The weather was fine and the sun was shining brightly.

At the main entrance of Beichun Junlan Hotel, General Manager Dong Qiming stood at the front, with three resident managers behind him, and then dozens of senior hotel leaders lined up in order of rank.

"coming."

Dong Qinian was over fifty years old, and he looked quite dignified.

As Dong Qiming finished speaking, everyone perked up and instinctively straightened their backs.

In the distance, a convoy of dozens of luxury cars roared in from afar.

Countless car doors opened one after another, and men and women in suits, exuding an air of elite status, stepped out of the cars.

Finally, a pure white Rolls-Royce Cullinan came to a smooth stop in front of them.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gu Heng, dressed in a light gray bespoke suit and wearing expensive leather shoes, stepped out of the car.

"Chairman Gu, welcome to Beichun Junlan Hotel."

Upon seeing Gu Heng, Dong Qiming immediately strode forward to greet him: "I am General Manager Dong Qiming."

"Manager Dong, we've only been in touch by phone before, it's great to finally meet you in person today."

Gu Heng extended his right hand, and then shook hands with Dong Qiming's outstretched hands. His smile was quite gentle, and he did not show any arrogance.

"Chairman Gu, all of us at Junlan have been eagerly awaiting your arrival these past few days, and we're so happy to finally have you here!"

Dong Qiming expressed great enthusiasm: "We all firmly believe that under your leadership, Junlan will surely become a leader in the hotel industry in Jilin Province. We are all ready to roll up our sleeves and wait to follow your instructions before we set out to make our mark!"

Gu Heng listened to Dong Qiming's flattery. After being exposed by Zhencui Group, Ruyi Aviation, and Xingchuan International, he had basically become able to remain unfazed.

Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.

Throughout history, in all walks of life, if one wants to strive for success and climb higher step by step, one must understand the art of speaking.

Many young people today scoff at this behavior, believing that "flattery" is a sign of losing dignity, being obsequious, and dishonoring one's character.

On the one hand, he does things his own way, and on the other hand, he yearns for success.

but……

Who climbs a mountain without bending over?
If you always stand upright, you'll only ever be at the bottom of the mountain, forever gazing up at the summit.

Previously, Gu Heng was at the bottom of society. He thought that Qian Zhengxing, Chu Zhengxiong, Qi Min and others were all successful people in society and would never flatter anyone.

Only now, after having had in-depth contact with them, does Gu Heng realize that they are not incapable of flattery; on the contrary, their ability to flatter is far more skillful and sophisticated than ordinary people imagine.

Because they once bent their backs to the ground, they are now able to stand on their respective mountain peaks, straightening their backs and gazing at the scenery.

Although they still need to bend down to reach higher peaks, they have become the object of admiration for countless climbers, possessing their own unique peaks and scenery.

It's not shameful to flatter superiors.

Tongwei weeps at the grave, Dakang hurdles.

Donglai called for his mother, and Liangping struck the bell.

If they are like this, what about the masses?

"Manager Dong, you're a professional when it comes to hotel management."

"When Chairman Huang and his group held full control of Junlan, you always had the reins of Junlan's operations and management. Why are you planning to hand over the reins now that I've come?"

At this point, Gu Heng pretended to be unhappy: "Manager Dong can't be treated differently. I've always believed in leaving professional matters to professionals when managing a company, so Manager Dong has to take charge himself. I have great faith in Manager Dong's abilities."

Dong Qiming previously served as Vice President of Marriott International Asia Pacific, a multinational hotel group, and has over 30 years of management experience in the hotel industry. The Chairman Huang mentioned by Gu Heng is Huang Zhiliang, the former chairman of Beichun Junlan Hotel. Huang Zhiliang went to great lengths to recruit Dong Qiming, ultimately succeeding only through a bit of luck.

The so-called luck is that Dong Qiming has worked diligently at Marriott International for nearly 20 years. After the current Asia Pacific president stepped down, he should have been the obvious successor. However, unexpectedly, a new president was suddenly parachuted in from the group headquarters.

Because of this incident, Dong Qiming was disheartened.

Huang Zhiliang's attitude was extremely sincere, so he chose to quit and switch jobs.

Gu Heng had already obtained all the information about Dong Qiming when he instructed Juncheng and Deloitte to conduct due diligence on the Beichun Junlan Hotel not long ago.

It can be said that Dong Qiming is an invaluable senior talent in the field of hotel management.

Not only does he possess solid operational management capabilities, but he also has an international perspective in the high-end hotel industry. Even if Gu Heng has plans to expand the Junlan brand in the future, Dong Qiming's abilities are more than sufficient to handle the task.

With such talent, Gu Heng naturally had to treat him with utmost respect.

What he just said was actually to reassure Dong Qiming, indirectly indicating that he would not interfere in operations and management matters casually, and would not engage in any abuse of power such as "an outsider giving advice to an expert".

of course……

Gu Heng is not one to wield power, but he also doesn't delegate it excessively.

Beichun Junlan Hotel Group is affiliated with Dingdun Capital Group, a subsidiary of Zhaode Heritage Capital. After Gu Heng officially takes over Beichun Junlan Hotel today, Dingdun Capital Group personnel will be stationed in its key core departments.

In addition, Juncheng and Deloitte will regularly dispatch professional teams to conduct verification work.

Now, Gu Heng's power is growing stronger.

Trying to cause trouble under his nose is pure fantasy.

As soon as Gu Heng finished speaking, everyone present, including Dong Qiming and the on-site managers and department directors, instantly understood what Gu Heng meant.

"If you're in a position, do your job properly!"

"Take responsibility and do your job to the best of your ability!"

Since Gu Heng had already made his point so clear in public, Dong Qiming naturally wouldn't hesitate any longer and immediately declared, "Thank you for your trust, Chairman Gu. In the future, I will definitely dedicate myself wholeheartedly to Junlan's development, opening up new prospects and writing new chapters, and live up to Chairman Gu's high expectations!"

These words were powerful and resounding.

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng's smile widened.

The total market value of the entire Beichun Junlan Hotel exceeds one billion yuan. It should be noted that Xingchuan International Group's total market value barely exceeded one billion yuan after successful financing.

Although it may appear to be just a hotel, its management is no different from that of a large enterprise.

If Gu Heng wants to take full control of the entire Beichun Junlan Hotel from top to bottom like the Zhencui Group, it will take at least six months to lay the groundwork.

For Gu Heng at this stage, it's too inefficient and unnecessary.

In this situation, Gu Heng only needs to control the overall situation, and Dong Qiming is the key figure for Gu Heng to control the overall situation.

As for the senior executives under Dong Qiming, that's something Dong Qiming should worry about.

The saying "the superiors plan the overall strategy, the middle-levels plan the people, and the inferiors plan the tasks" perfectly illustrates this point.

Compared to the confrontational atmosphere when Gu Heng went to Xingchuan International Group to take over the shares, things were peaceful and laughter was constant at the moment.

Amidst the warm welcome of Dong Qiming and other senior executives of Junlan, Gu Heng and his entourage slowly entered the Beichuan Junlan Hotel...
