Chapter 621 You men are the trouble
This episode did not invite any big stars to be guests, because it was just a process experience, not a formal program recording. Lu Yiming planned to spend two days to verify the program process, and then hand over the program to Chen Xiaoqing's team.
The plane landed at Taohuayuan Airport. As soon as Lu Yiming got off the plane, he turned on his phone and it kept vibrating. He took out his phone and saw that there were many missed calls, all from Ji Qi.
Lu Yiming called Ji Qi back: "Hello, Old Ji, did you just call me?"
Ji Qi received a call from Lu Yiming, and his tone was very anxious: "Boss Lu, have you arrived yet?"
Lu Yiming frowned slightly and said in surprise : "Yeah, I just got off the plane, what happened?"
Ji Qi sighed and said, "Hey, Mr. Lu, it's my fault for not doing my job well. There is a hotel with a good location and a large enough space, right at the entrance of the scenic spot. I want to negotiate for it, but I haven't succeeded after a few days of negotiations. They are asking too high a price. Has your program started filming? Will it delay your business?"
Lu Yiming asked: "Why? Didn't you pay enough?"
Ji Qi said excitedly, "How can that be possible? I have done market research and given a price based on a comprehensive assessment of housing prices, geographical location and market prospects. They just don't want to do it, and there is nothing I can do."
Hearing Ji Qi say this, Lu Yiming became interested and said with a smile: "Tell me the name of the hotel and I'll go take a look."
“The name of the hotel is ‘Ziza Taoyuan’.”
"That's a pretty good name. Okay, I get it. The show has started filming but hasn't aired yet, so don't worry. There's still time."
After the call, Lu Yiming put away his phone, and Lin Yuzhen asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "You don't understand about the hotel acquisition, let's go."
"cut."
After leaving the airport, everyone boarded the bus that had been arranged in advance and rushed to the scenic spot.
When he arrived at the square at the entrance of the scenic area, Lu Yiming saw the Zizai Taoyuan Hotel that Ji Qi mentioned at a glance.
The hotel is of a decent size, but not a star-level one. It has about a hundred rooms and is a seven-story building.
Although the appearance looks ordinary, the location is really awesome, right at the entrance of the scenic area, less than 200 meters away from the ticket window. It is said to be a prime location, and gold must appreciate in value.
No wonder Ji Qi took a fancy to this hotel. If he could take over this hotel and transform it into Home Inn, the business would definitely be booming.
However, Lu Yiming could understand why the boss didn't want to sell it. After all, it occupied such a good position, and it was a golden goose that laid eggs. Why not sell it?
The Taohuayuan Scenic Area has been open for more than ten years, but its popularity is average. Lu Yiming began to observe after getting off the bus and found that there were only one or two hundred people queuing at the ticket office.
You know, now is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom, which should be the time when Taohuayuan has the most tourists.
Lu Yiming and his friends also bought tickets to visit.
It is undeniable that the scenery inside is truly beautiful. There are large tracts of pink peach blossom forests all over the mountains. Walking under the peach forests, the faint fragrance is refreshing. The naturally falling peach blossoms flutter in the air, forming a dreamlike picture.
“It’s so beautiful.”
Lin Yuzhen had almost forgotten her duties as the host and was completely immersed in the scenery. Her lively nature was released and her silvery laughter could be heard from time to time.
Chen Xiaoqing also directed the staff to set up the equipment and began to try to shoot some pictures.
Taohuayuan is not only a peach forest, but also Qinxi, Qin Valley, Taohua Mountain, Taoyuan Mountain, Wuliu Lake, Taohuayuan Ancient Town, Taochuan Wanshou Palace, etc. It is ancient, magical, mysterious, beautiful, magnificent, and elegant, and integrates poetic and picturesque feelings, historical legends. It was once one of the four major Taoist resorts in ancient times, the 35th small cave heaven, and the White Horse Xuanguang Heaven.
Although it was just a preliminary experience, by the time everyone left the scenic area, it had already darkened.
Everyone was tired and hungry, so Lu Yiming asked everyone to pack up and go to Zizai Taoyuan Hotel.
Arriving at the hotel entrance, Lin Yuzhen felt a little surprised and asked, "Are we going to stay here tonight?"
The reason she asked this was because the hotel in front of her was obviously "old" and a bit "dilapidated".
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "What's the matter? Do you dislike the poor accommodation conditions here?"
Lin Yuzhen said: "No, I just find it strange. Don't big bosses like you always stay in five-star hotels and have to stay in the presidential suite?"
Lu Yiming laughed and said, "Under normal circumstances, I certainly wouldn't put myself in a difficult position, but since we're doing a show, I'll definitely try to be realistic. How many of the ordinary tourists who come here can afford to stay in a five-star hotel?"
Lin Yuzhen thought about it and said, "It seems so. How could ordinary people stay in a star-rated hotel when traveling?"
When everyone entered the hotel, Lu Yiming found that there was no guest at the front desk. He felt strange. After all, it should be the peak check-in period.
Lin Yuzhen stood in the lobby, observing the situation around her. After all, Lu Yiming had given her a task to submit a travel report after returning.
Just as she was thinking about how to describe this hotel, Lu Yiming, who had already booked a room, came over, tapped Lin Yuzhen on the forehead, and said, "What are you daydreaming about, you little money-grubber."
Lin Yuzhen covered her forehead and glared at Lu Yiming: "Humph, you are the one who is stupid."
Lu Yiming clapped his hands, gathered everyone together, and said, "We'll be staying here tonight. Go pick your own rooms, put your things away, and meet in the lobby in half an hour."
Chen Xiaoqing said, "Leave someone to look after the equipment. I'll stay here while you guys go eat. Ah Wei, pack a bag for me after you finish eating."
The total value of the photographic equipment they brought was over a million. If anything went wrong, it would be all over.
Lu Yiming thought about it and said, "It seems that we should purchase two buses as special vehicles for the program. We won't take a plane then. We can just drive around and put our things in the car. It's also safe. We can also provide self-driving tour route guides."
"Can."
Everyone took a bus to the city for a meal, and then brought a lot of food back to the hotel for a midnight snack.
In the lounge area on the left side of the hotel lobby, the crew put away the things they bought. Ah Wei said, "I'll go upstairs to replace Director Chen, and let Director Chen come down to eat."
Lu Yiming sat on a chair drinking lei tea and thinking about buying a hotel. The vindictive Lin Yuzhen took the opportunity to "avenge her past humiliation" and flicked Lu Yiming's head with her hand. Then she said proudly, "What are you daydreaming about? You're obsessed with money."
Lu Yiming was thinking about something and was in no mood to argue with Lin Yuzhen. He just said, "I'm thinking about how to buy this hotel."
Before Lin Yuzhen could say anything, several young people sitting next to him suddenly burst into laughter. One of them, a young man wearing a leather jacket and loafers, whistled at Lin Yuzhen and said, "Brother, this is not the way to pick up girls."
The crew was eating at a large table nearby, while Lu Yiming and Lin Yuzhen were eating lei cha at a small table in the lounge area, so the young people thought that Lu Yiming was bragging about picking up girls.
Lin Yuzhen is already very pretty, and with her careful dressing, she is definitely not inferior to those big stars. The young man's eyes fell on Lin Yuzhen and he couldn't move away.
Because they were going to climb a mountain today, Lu Yiming wore sportswear, so he looked like an ordinary young man. In order to show off in front of Lin Yuzhen, the young man said mercilessly: "Why don't you just take a piss and look in the mirror yourself? You still want to buy a hotel? I think you'll have a hard time paying for a room."
Then, the young man said to Lin Yuzhen with a lewd look on his face: "Beauty, this area is all under my protection. Without my approval, this guy can't even stay in a hotel, let alone buy one."
The hotel owner soon noticed the commotion here, and hurried over with a bitter expression on his face. He stood in front of Lu Yiming and the others and said, "Brother Huang, what's going on? They are all my guests. If I have offended you in any way, I will apologize to you. Please give me some face..."
The young man's name was Huang Wenyang. He broke away from the hotel owner and sneered, "You didn't offend me. I just can't stand people pretending to be so high and mighty in front of me. Is that not okay? How much is your dignity worth? Get out of my way."
Then, Huang Wenyang looked at Lin Yuzhen with a smile and asked, "Beautiful lady, what's your name? Do you have a cell phone? What's your phone number?"
However, Lin Yuzhen didn't even look at him.
This made him feel a little embarrassed.
Huang Wenyang was used to showing off his power in the local area, so he couldn't stand this contempt. He immediately stepped forward and continued to pick a fight with Lu Yiming: "Fuck, I'm talking to you!"
Lu Yiming ate his lei cha slowly and said calmly, "Talk to me? Are you qualified?"
"Fuck, you deserve to be punished, don't you?"
Huang Wenyang stood up suddenly, and a group of his cronies behind him also gathered around to show their support.
The shop owner stood aside, wanting to cry but unable to. After a long while, he whispered to Lu Yiming, "Boss, I'm so sorry. Why don't you just give in first? There's no need to cause trouble when you're out. This guy is the son of the owner of the largest five-star hotel here, the Huangting Hotel. He has an extraordinary background. You can't afford to offend him."
In fact, the reason why his hotel business is so bad is because Huang Wenyang brings people to cause trouble every few days, and then tries to bring customers to Huangting Hotel. But because of his powerful background, many small hotels dare not speak out when being bullied. Whether they can do business depends entirely on Huang Wenyang's mood.
However, after hearing what his boss said, Lu Yiming immediately laughed: "In Xia Country, there are indeed many people I can't afford to offend, but I don't care about scum like this."
Huang Wenyang was furious when he saw Lu Yiming was still so arrogant. He had encountered people who were stubborn before, but they became obedient after a few words. He rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "You little bastard, if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know why peach blossoms are so popular!"
However, just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, followed by a dizzy feeling. He was startled and turned around to see a man in a black suit and sunglasses, looking at him with a look of indifference to life. Although there was a layer of sunglasses between the two people's eyes, the murderous aura still made him feel extremely palpitating.
The person who came was naturally Zhao Tiezhu. He was just having a good time outside eating barbecue and drinking, but someone came to cause trouble for Lu Yiming, which made him very unhappy. After all, this was his rare rest time.
Huang Wenyang held the back of his head and couldn't help but take two steps back. Then he remembered that he had more people on his side, and he suddenly became bolder and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you come to meddle in my business? Do you know whose territory this is? Do you want to die?"
Huang Wenyang's younger brothers also looked ferocious, but they did not dare to attack Zhao Tiezhu. After all, Zhao Tiezhu's aura was too strong. They did not even have the consciousness to resist. Now they just wanted to squat on the ground with their hands on their heads and beg for mercy.
Zhao Tiezhu casually threw Huang Wenyang to the ground, looked at Lu Yiming, and asked, "Mr. Lu, are you okay?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "It's okay, you came just in time."
Seeing that Lu Yiming actually went out with bodyguards, Huang Wenyang realized that something was wrong even if he was dumb. However, relying on his family's connections, he still shouted, "Who the hell are you? Do you know who I am? Let me go quickly, or I'll make sure you can't leave the Peach Blossom Land!"
Lu Yiming just found it funny after hearing this. He looked down at Huang Wenyang who was pinned to the ground by Zhao Tiezhu and asked him, "You don't even know who I am, yet you dare to threaten me?"
At this time, several people wearing red armbands and blue uniforms ran in from outside. They were the security team of the scenic area. They rushed over immediately after learning that someone was causing trouble here. After all, Taohuayuan is the most important tourist project in the county. If there is trouble here, it will affect the development of the local tourism industry. That is no joke.
When Huang Wenyang saw the person coming, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he showed joy on his face, as if he had seen a savior. He shouted, "Brother Yi Sheng, you are here just in time. Come and save me."
Yi Sheng was also shocked to see Huang Wenyang in such a miserable state, and he shouted at Zhao Tiezhu: "Hurry up and let him go!"
Zhao Tiezhu looked at Lu Yiming, and Lu Yiming waved his hand. Zhao Tiezhu then released his foot from Huang Wenyang's back.
As soon as Huang Wenyang stood up, he hid behind Yi Sheng. He thought that the sky had cleared up and the rain had stopped, and he was fine again. He said to Yi Sheng with a ferocious look, "Hurry up and get someone to arrest them. I want them to go to jail!"
Yi Sheng nodded slightly, not even planning to ask about the cause and effect, and directly scolded Lu Yiming: "Come with us!"
Lu Yiming glanced at Yi Sheng with contempt: "Are you sure you want to take me back?"
Yi Sheng grinned: "I saw you beating people with my own eyes, is it true?"
Lu Yiming understood that the Yisheng Captain in front of him was obviously planning to help his relatives instead of the law, and he taunted: "It is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away. I am not afraid to go back with you, but I don't know if you are afraid of death."
Yi Sheng cursed with a fierce look on his face: "Everyone can brag. Do you think you are the Jade Emperor?"
Lu Yiming was too lazy to waste time talking to this kind of jerk, let alone follow him. He would just suffer a bitter meal for nothing, and even if he could retaliate severely afterwards, why bother?
So Lu Yiming planned to call someone to solve this problem. He took out his phone and dialed a number. After saying a few words, he handed the phone to Yi Sheng: "Answer it. It's your call."
Yi Sheng had a suspicious look on his face. He just picked up the phone and said hello. Then someone on the other end, whom he absolutely couldn't afford to offend, yelled, "Yi, do you want to die? If Mr. Lu loses even a hair, I will hold you responsible!"
Yi Sheng heard who this person was, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. When he looked at Lu Yiming again, his eyes were full of fear. He returned the phone to Lu Yiming with both hands, and his legs went weak, and he almost knelt down to Lu Yiming.
"Misunderstanding, what happened just now is all misunderstanding, I hope you don't mind it, Mr. Lu."
Lu Yiming joked: "Misunderstanding? How can it be a misunderstanding? Didn't you just see us beating someone up?"
Yi Sheng immediately looked surprised and said, "Ah? Did I just say that? That's impossible. I didn't say anything when I came in, and I didn't see anything."
Huang Wenyang became anxious when he heard this. If Yi Sheng didn't help him, he might be bullied by someone else here.
"Brother Yi Sheng, I..."
Yi Sheng scolded with a cold face: "Don't call me brother, I don't know you. I just received a call from the police saying that there was a disturbance inside. I guess it was you? Judging from the way you are dressed, you don't look like good people. Brothers, arrest these people and take them away."
After watching his men take the man away, Yi Sheng nervously walked up to Lu Yiming and asked, "Mr. Lu, are you satisfied with my handling of the matter?"
Lu Yiming didn't want to have any bad relations with the local security personnel. After all, he would do business here in the future, so he said, "Okay, everything is fine here, you can go now."
Seeing that Lu Yiming seemed to disdain to argue with him, Yi Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a nod, "Okay, I'll leave now. I'm sorry to have delayed your tea time."
He had no temper at all towards Lu Yiming. If he was told to leave, he would just leave obediently.
As soon as Yi Sheng left, Chen Xiaoqing, who was eating in the room, rushed over after hearing the news and asked, "Boss Lu, I just heard that someone was causing trouble. Are you okay?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "It's okay. I have already informed the relevant departments here before I came. No one dares to mess with me."
Chen Xiaoqing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you're fine. I'll go back to eating. The dry pot here is really delicious."
After everyone left, Lu Yiming looked at Lin Yuzhen, curled his lips, and deliberately put on a look of disgust and teased: "She is so beautiful, but she is really a disaster."
Lin Yuzhen immediately said unconvincedly: "It's obviously your men's problem, why do you always blame us women? Why are we the cause of the trouble? I think you are the trouble."
Lu Yiming was caught off guard and immediately laughed, "Why are you getting more and more eloquent? I can hardly win against you."
Then, Lu Yiming thought about buying a hotel again, and said, "I'll go talk ."
