Let's go back to 2008, starting with a recreational fishing park.

Jiang Xia smiled faintly, "President Liu, you don't need to call me President Jiang, just call me Mr. Jiang."

But Liu Cuicui on the other side also smiled slightly:

"Mr. Jiang, please speak."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xia didn't mince words and said directly:

"Mr. Liu, you may not have heard of my fishing park, but that's okay. All you need to know is that I have many customers from both the city and other places."

Upon hearing the words "city" and "outside the city," Liu Cuicui's eyes lit up. These were the hotel's most direct target customers.

After a slight pause, Jiang Xia continued, "Since we're discussing cooperation, I'll be frank with you, Mr. Liu. I currently have about 40 to 50 tourists per day, reaching 70 to 80 on Saturdays and Sundays, and sometimes around 100."

As soon as Jiang Xia finished speaking, Liu Cuicui couldn't help but exclaim, "Mr. Jiang is truly a promising young man!"

When she first met Jiang Xia, she thought she was just an intern sent by a company or organization to book a hotel.

But now, after listening to the data Jiang Xia described, Liu Cuicui knew that the young man in front of her was definitely an outstanding individual.

Hearing Liu Cuicui's praise, Jiang Xia waved his hand and said, "President Liu, you flatter me. I just came back from the big city because I couldn't stay here, so I just do some random stuff for fun."

Then, before Liu Cuicui could speak, he continued, "President Liu, the cooperation I'm talking about isn't anything complicated."

"I don't know how the hotel investment and occupancy rate are doing now, Mr. Liu. If your occupancy rate isn't high, could you give me some coupons worth twenty or thirty yuan? I'll give them to the tourists for free."

With that, Jiang Xia spread his hands: "If the occupancy rate is high, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

Upon hearing this, Liu Cuicui immediately fell into deep thought.

Her hotel is considered an affordable luxury hotel in the county, focusing on capturing the market with its low prices and warm service.

To be honest, her hotel's occupancy rate is actually quite good.

If we disregard occupancy rates and only consider how to increase hotel guests, Jiang Xia's suggestion is actually quite good.

However, there was one thing Liu Cuicui didn't understand: Jiang Xia only said that he would promote the hotel, but he didn't say what he himself wanted.

She asked疑惑地问道, "Then what does Mr. Jiang want?"

Jiang Xia smiled gently: "I don't want anything. Just give me another discount on the room I booked this time, and then provide good service from your hotel!"

"Hmm?" Hearing Jiang Xia say that, Liu Cuicui was even more puzzled.

Could they be after me?

She looked down at her outfit and felt it was nothing special; it probably wouldn't arouse any interest in a man Jiang Xia's age.

Then, she looked at the receptionist and found that her outfit was quite attractive to men of Jiang Xia's age!

However, that's the front desk staff. Although they are hotel employees, they certainly wouldn't benefit from this kind of promotion!

If Jiang Xia had designs on someone, he certainly wouldn't have done it by offering free advertising for the hotel.

Moreover, Jiang Xia is young, rich, and has plenty of money. Liu Cuicui thinks that pursuing a young girl like the receptionist should be a piece of cake for him.

Seeing that Liu Cuicui looked around and remained silent for a long time after he finished speaking, Jiang Xia asked doubtfully, "President Liu, do you think this cooperation is feasible?"

Jiang Xia's voice instantly pulled Liu Cuicui back to reality from her reverie. Looking at Jiang Xia in front of her, she finally voiced her doubts:

"Why is Mr. Jiang giving our hotel free publicity?"

"Oh, it's nothing really!" Jiang Xia waved his hand and then told the other person about the little incident that happened in town before he came here.

After listening to Jiang Xia's explanation, Liu Cuicui suddenly realized:

"So, Mr. Jiang is promoting us just to take down that shady hotel in your town, right?"

Jiang Xia nodded: "Yes, Ms. Liu. I'm a petty person. It's fine if she raises prices, but the way she was sarcastic and unpleasant to me when I left is unacceptable!"

Jiang Xia was telling the truth. He was already annoyed by the small hotel's price increase, but he didn't expect that the hotel would speak to him in a sarcastic tone when he was leaving.

It's not like we don't have the ability to deal with her. She's so arrogant, if we don't deal with her, who should we deal with?

Actually, there's one more thing that Jiang Xia didn't tell Liu Cuicui just now.

This is also the thing that makes Jiang Xia most uncomfortable.

That is to say, the hotel in town also got its business by relying on its own fishing grounds.

To my surprise, the boss didn't recognize me!

This made Jiang feel that he had lost face!

If the hotel owner knew nothing about her, it would be understandable that he didn't recognize her, and Jiang Xia wouldn't care.

However, it's really a bit unreasonable that the female boss clearly mentioned that the fishing grounds have been holding competitions recently and she still doesn't recognize her.

On the other side, when Huang Cuicui heard Jiang Xia say that he was petty, she inexplicably felt a chill run down her spine.

However, after thinking about the service and prices at her own hotel, she felt better.

She smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, this isn't petty; you're just standing up for the tourists at your fishing park!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xia's eyes lit up. It was President Liu who was going to speak!

Then he heard Liu Cuicui say:

"Mr. Jiang, I'm very happy to cooperate with you. I'll have the front desk give you 200 coupons worth 20 yuan each. Any tourists from your area who bring them can use them!"

"Okay, Mr. Liu." Jiang Xia nodded and continued, "Then, about the room I booked..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Cuicui immediately said, "Mr. Jiang, I'll give you a room for 50 yuan a night, and I'll also include breakfast as a gift. Consider it a gesture of friendship with you, Mr. Jiang."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xia immediately extended his right hand:

"Mr. Liu, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"

"It's a pleasure working with you!"

…………

After leaving Liu Cuicui's hotel, Jiang Xia noticed the name of the hotel.

"Anxin Express Hotel, what a great name."

Putting aside the environment, the service at this hotel made Jiangxia feel quite at ease.

After talking with Liu Cuicui, he even followed her to the guest room for a look.

I discovered that their rooms are indeed of the "light luxury" type.

Each room is equipped with a simple coffee table, sofa, and balcony.

It's perfect for entertaining people from the fishing association.

Jiang Xia got into his father's van and started the car immediately.

On the way, he passed by the roast duck shop where he had bought some before, and he even stopped the car to buy one.

But thinking about Su Qing's cooking skills, Jiang Xia still felt like eating roast duck. She thought it would be better to just tell Jiang Jianguo to buy a live duck when he went to the market tomorrow morning, and then ask Su Qing what tools she would like to use!
