Chapter 422: Long-lost technological civilization
Haitian Hotel, the most luxurious five-star hotel in K City, is one of the top hotels even in China. As a tourist city near the sea, Haitian Hotel has naturally become one of the city's business cards.
The occupancy rate of the entire hotel used to be as high as 90%. However, in recent years, due to the impact of the monster incident, not only China, but also the global tourism industry has been severely hit, especially in coastal areas. After all, the monster invasion started from the sea a year ago, and the Chinese military even deployed many troops along the coast, further deepening people's fear of the sea.
However, Haitian Hotel is now deserted, with an occupancy rate as low as 20%, which is a fatal data for a five-star hotel.
On this day, the entire management of Haitian Hotel was alarmed.
The incident happened at noon. A man and a woman got off an inconspicuous taxi. The man was a very handsome foreigner with a little bit of rebelliousness, and the woman was a typical Chinese girl. The man was okay, and he looked extraordinary at first glance. Although the woman was dressed luxuriously, her behavior showed a little discord, as if she was wearing this dress for the first time.
At first, the arrival of the two did not attract the attention of the hotel, until the foreign man spoke in fluent Chinese.
"Please ask your manager to come out, I plan to book your top floor." Tony took off his sunglasses and wiped them in his hands.
"Excuse me, sir, do you mean you want to book the top floor?" The receptionist asked uncertainly.
"Oh! It seems something is wrong." Tony said and looked at Tang Yun.
Tang Yun was still a little nervous at this time, just looking at Tony and didn't know what to say.
"It seems wrong to book it." Tony continued.
"How about this! I plan to buy your hotel." Tony smiled charmingly.
The receptionist looked at the handsome guy in front of her and her face blushed, but she quickly reacted.
"You...you...you want to buy the hotel?"
The exclamation immediately attracted the attention of the people around, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked over from a distance.
"Excuse me..." The man came over and spoke in English, but was stopped by Tony.
"In your country, I think it's better to speak Chinese." Tony said casually. Tony has a very high IQ. Since he joined the chat group, he has been learning Chinese with the help of Jarvis, so that he can communicate with group members without obstacles.
"Okay, sir, do you need any help? My last name is Xu, and I am the lobby manager of this hotel. You can tell me if you need anything." The manager actually heard the words of the front desk just now, but he was a little suspicious at this time, but out of courtesy, he still asked politely.
"That's good, but it is obvious that Manager Xu can't make the decision on this matter."
After Tony finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone from his arms, opened a bank software, and showed it to the manager.
The manager looked at the balance displayed on it, and he couldn't count it all at once, and his mouth opened involuntarily. He received countless guests, so he could naturally recognize at a glance that this was an international financial account, and the amount in it was at least tens of billions of dollars.
"I plan to buy your hotel. You can tell the senior management that the price is up to you. Of course, I can provide a personal account, and you can send someone to check it." After speaking, Tony put away his mobile phone again, put on sunglasses again, and looked like I'm waiting for you.
"Sir, Miss, please come this way. I will contact the chairman and general manager now." Manager Xu said hurriedly. Then he led Tony and the other two into the elevator under the surprised eyes of the front desk.
Perhaps out of concern for the future of the hotel, the hotel board agreed to Tony's acquisition after an hour of discussion, but was only willing to sell 51% of the hotel's shares. Tony said it didn't matter, 51% was enough to prove the ownership of the hotel.
In just one day, the two sides agreed on the price. The board was very satisfied with Tony's offer, which even exceeded the value of 51% of the shares.
"Now, I have the final say on the hotel, right?" Tony said to the general manager after the transaction was completed.
"Of course, Mr. Tony, this hotel belongs to you from now on, and we are all working for you." The general manager said jokingly.
"Very good, I won't ask too much about the hotel in the future. You can do whatever you want. From now on, the top floor of the hotel will no longer receive any guests. If someone is living there now, I am willing to pay ten times the room rate and ask them to leave." Tony issued an order.
The general manager was shocked. You know, the top floor of the hotel is all presidential suites, and there is even a helicopter landing pad on it. There are also various entertainment facilities and swimming pools, etc. The price of each room is as high as 80,000 per day.
"I'm not kidding. There are extremely distinguished guests to receive, understand?" Tony looked at his watch.
There is less than an hour left before the meeting time agreed with Su Yu and others.
"I'll give you 30 minutes, otherwise I don't mind changing a general manager." Tony said expressionlessly.
As the head of the Stark Group, Tony naturally has his own domineering.
The manager ran out of the office without hesitation.
"Wow, Tony, you are so cool." Tang Yun finally couldn't help but praise him at this time.
"Cut, what's that." Tony, who was already full of pride, still looked cool on his face, which made Tang Yun couldn't help laughing.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Tang Yun suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?"
"The boss said before that Mengmeng is also coming." Tang Yun said hurriedly.
"What? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Tony was startled.
He took out his cell phone and flipped over a business card from the table. It was the general manager's.
"Hello, it's me, Tony. I have something to arrange right now. We need to prepare a hundred servings of food on the top floor within an hour. Yes, you heard it right, a hundred servings. And we need the most expensive ingredients."
"Don't tell me the time. Notify all the chefs in the kitchen to work overtime immediately. Each person who completes the task will be rewarded with 10,000 US dollars. Remember, it's 10,000 US dollars per person." After saying that, Tony hung up the phone.
"Master Tang, you should have told me about this earlier." Tony complained.
Tang Yun also looked helpless. She was so busy today. First, she was dragged by Tony to buy a few high-end dresses, and then she came to this hotel to discuss the acquisition. She didn't have a chance to say anything.
In a few minutes, the entire Haitian Hotel was busy. Someone on the rooftop began to set up the banquet scene. Many waiters rushed into the kitchen to help. Even if it was a five-star hotel, it would take a lot of manpower to make a hundred servings of top-quality food within an hour. Fortunately, Tony had said that money can make the devil push the mill, and even the front desk waiter ran to help.
As the time agreed with Su Yu arrived, the banquet scene on the rooftop of the hotel had been set up, and all kinds of food were served. Even though Tony was knowledgeable, he was shocked by the efficiency of this hour.
"It's worthy of being China. More people is good." Tony said in amazement.
"Okay, you go down. No one is needed here. The manager will give me a list of people who help today. Ten thousand US dollars per person will never break his promise." Tony said.
Then all the waiters left one after another. Everyone was delighted and proud of the new boss. This family is really rich.
At this time, the sun was gradually setting at the seaside, and stars gradually appeared in the sky. The scenery was very beautiful.
Tang Yun exited the group chat and nodded to Tony, and then the two of them were a little excited.
Suddenly, a light gate appeared a few meters away from the two of them.
"Here I come." The two secretly said.
"Wow, I'm here." Su Meng jumped out of it briskly.
Then Su Yu, Daji, and Qingbai also walked out of the light gate.
"Boss." Tony and Tang Yun hurriedly greeted him.
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Su Yu nodded with a smile and then looked around.
"Long time no see, the technological world." Su Yu looked at the modern buildings around and couldn't help but sigh.
"Wow..." At this time, Su Meng exclaimed loudly.
There were hundreds of delicacies on a row of tables.
Even Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen didn't care to look at the surrounding environment, and were really shocked by the scene in front of them.
"Knowing that you guys came from afar, I prepared delicious food in advance to welcome you." Tony said hurriedly.
"You are worthy of it, Tony. You are very experienced in hosting banquets and parties." Su Yu patted Tony on the shoulder and smiled.
"Hahaha, hahaha, that's right." Tony Stark, who was praised, was immediately carried away.
"Can I eat now? I can't help it." Su Meng urged from the side.
"Of course, my beautiful and lovely Miss Meng Meng, please let your loyal knight Tony Stark serve you." Tony immediately turned into a guardian knight and rushed to Su Meng's side.
"Hehe..." The little guy was immediately amused.
"Daji, you take Bai Suzhen and the others to eat, I have something to say to Tang Yun."
"Okay."
Su Yu took Tang Yun to the side and looked at the sunset. Then he asked.
"Do you know what the attitude of various countries is now?"
"Many news have been blocked by the authorities. China is better and has not been affected much at present, but other countries where monsters have appeared, especially the United States, are now in chaos." Tang Yun pointed to a place not far away.
"Look, that light is the military. I heard that there are garrisons in important coastal cities. I saw missile troops appear a few days ago. The situation is very serious. There were even rumors on the Internet that there are hidden monsters in the southwest, but this news was quickly censored." Tang Yun said.
Su Yu nodded after listening. This is exactly the plot of Godzilla 2. Monsters such as Mothra and King Ghidorah have appeared one after another. Among them, Mothra is in the southwest.
"I know, don't worry, monsters are not a concern. Although it is not convenient for me to take action, there are still Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing." Su Yu said.
"Well, thank you big brother." Tang Yun was no longer worried after contacting Su Yu. Just kidding, a thirteen-level big brother and a twenty-plus-level Su Meng, what is a monster.
"Daddy... come quickly, the food is delicious!" Su Meng's cheerful voice came.
