Chapter 437 Traditional Korean Service
Seoul, Shilla Hotel.
As the most famous hotel in Han Country, it bears the responsibility of Han Country Hotel to a certain extent.
Those foreign dignitaries who visit Han country usually stay here.
In Hanguk, it can be said that it is a very honorable thing to be able to stay at Shilla Hotel for one night.
For ordinary sticks, they are only eligible to stay for a few nights when they become rich and rich.
But what many Han people don't know is that not long ago.
Samsvng Group, the highest-end hotel brand, has quietly changed its name.
Its current name, the full name should be the flagship store of Shilla Hotel Hanguo Seoul of Smith Hotel Group.
Belongs to the Smith Hotel Group, which was established just last year, it is a hotel under this hotel group and is currently positioned as a high-end hotel.
The eldest princess of the Samsvng Group is now known to everyone in the Seoul chaebol circle.
Even Li Zaixi himself, Li Fuzhen, who wants to save face, is the CEO of this hotel chain group.
Oh, in Han country, she is generally called "President Li".
She is now in Han Country, firstly the president of Smith Hotel Group, secondly the president of Forge, and then the eldest princess of Samsvng Group...
The afternoon of March 20, 2002.
The weather in Seoul is still a bit cold.
Many of the stick girls in the streets and alleys have already put on summer outfits such as miniskirts and hot pants.
With a glance, the street is full of white, which is really charming.
It has to be said that after entering the 21st century, with the start of the Hallyu.
In terms of fashion and aesthetics, Han people are at the forefront of Asia for the first time, and are still developing rapidly.
Ten years later, this influence reached its peak.
In just a dozen years, this country has crazily pushed the aesthetic style of a tiny place to the whole of Asia, and even the whole world.
When the hot girls all over the street are starting to wear cool clothes before summer comes.
A Genesis of Hyundai Motor Group was driving on the boulevard in the center of Seoul.
Genesis is the first high-end brand model under Hyundai Motor.
Hyundai Motor Group, invested about 600 million US dollars to develop Genesis, the purpose is to compete with German and Japanese high-end brand cars, while improving its own brand value.
In the Hyundai Motor Group, its status is similar to Toyota's Lexus, Honda's Acura, and Nissan's Infiniti.
This car is on the road, in a Genesis high-end car with some traffic jams.
The person sitting at this time is one of the artists under Blacksmith Entertainment Company.
is the actress Kim Tae Hee who just made her official debut last year.
Kim Tae Hee is sitting on the seat at the moment, she is in a complicated mood, and she is talking on the phone with someone a little nervous.
In 2000, she debuted as an advertising model. In 2001, he entered the showbiz with the love movie "Gift".
Because of her decent family background, she was known as one of the cleanest female stars in the Korean entertainment circle, which is darker than Hollywood, in later generations.
"...I'm already on my way. Director Li, I understand. Thank you for your notice."
"I know, I understand, so be it."
The phone call with the head of the artist department of Forge Entertainment Company ended soon.
Before Kim Tae Hee could catch his breath.
Her beautiful LG flip phone rang again.
Kim Tae Hee looked down and found that the name of the contact person in the note was "".
Translated into Chinese, it means Li Yingai.
Lee Young-ae has been involved in acting since 1993.
Han people have a strict office order, especially in the entertainment industry, and it may be even more serious.
According to this kind of workplace rules, Lee Young Ae is already one of the top ten seniors in the industry to Kim Tae Hee.
But before last year, Kim Tae Hee was not familiar with this senior in the industry at all.
But well...
After that incident happened, it would be good to say that they were "sympathetic to each other".
Said that they have become "the same kind", or companions.
Anyway after that.
Kim Tae Hee, Lee Young Ae, and several other actresses in the Korean entertainment industry who are about the same age, their relationship has become very close.
Not only do they belong to the Forging Entertainment Company, but they also often get together in private.
When they were in Seoul, they were often even asked to live together.
Live in a luxury villa in Gangnam District, Seoul prepared for them by the company.
Externally, the company claimed that it was a benefit for artists like them.
In this period, even the top Korean entertainers can buy their own houses.
They can live in villas and mansions in rich areas.
is indeed worthy of the envy of colleagues.
Only they themselves know that the reason why they can live in this kind of luxury house is not as high-sounding as the company said.
"Hey Ernie, I'm almost there. I'm stuck in traffic."
Kim Tae Hee answered the phone again, she looked at the traffic ahead, and said softly.
"Oh, that's fine. Secretary Kim called just now and said that the president and him are almost here! Yejin, Jihyun, Hye Kyo and Jiwon, they and I are all here. You haven't come yet, so I called Give me a call."
Heard the gentle voice of Li Yingai, the "big sister" in private.
Kim Tae Hee couldn't help curling her lips.
These women are so active in delivering X to their door.
He clearly said he would arrive at night, but now it's only 4 pm, and they all gathered except himself.
"I got it. Ernie, it's just that I came back from Busan, and there's no way to deal with the traffic jam."
"Ji Won and Hye Kyo came back from Jeju City, and they are faster than you. Tae Hee, I know what you think. But Ernie wants to tell you that what you think is impossible to achieve. You understand .”
Listening to Li Yingaiyu's gentle and earnest voice.
Kim Tae Hee himself doesn't understand.
He came from a superior background, was smart and beautiful since he was a child, and belonged to the best group of beings among his peers.
Kim Tae-hee actually knows that even if his father, who is still considered capable, is willing to work hard, there is actually no way to help him escape from that terrible vortex.
Since being targeted and selected. It can be said that like the other 5 people, their future destiny has been doomed.
Kim Tae-hee actually understands all these things, but because she is so smart, she has never experienced hardships since she was a child.
After encountering such a fate, she will think about struggling and trying to escape.
Unlike Li Yingai and the others, they accepted their fate early on, and might even enjoy it.
At this moment, I heard Li Yingai repeating the same old tune, and I saw the sign of Shilla Hotel ahead.
"Why…"
Kim Tae Hee couldn't help but sighed.
"I get it, Ernie, I'm almost there."
"Well, I won't say too much. Come up immediately when you arrive."
Li Yingai hung up the phone.
Kim Tae Hee put her beautiful flip phone on her lap, holding it in a daze.
I don't know what she was thinking.
After a while, the black female driver in front suddenly spoke softly:
"Miss Jin, we've arrived, let's get off."
The black female driver uses English. Kim Tae Hee is a top student and is from Han, so of course her English is very good.
What's more, in the past few months, several of them have been intensively trained in English for a period of time.
Even Song Hye-kyo and Son Ye-jin, two low school students, can now communicate in English fluently.
No way, first of all, this is the requirement of the above.
Secondly, they can enjoy the top artists in the country, but the security and assistant service staff who can't enjoy it, all speak English.
If they can’t speak English, even their daily work and life will be affected.
"Okay." Kim Tae Hee said obediently.
So this guy has recently made his mark in Han country's entertainment industry.
Not long ago, there was a popular drama that was staged. The female star who became more and more famous in Han country obediently got out of the car and entered the Shilla Hotel accompanied by a female driver and another female bodyguard.
Many well-known artists have been boarded, but they are not eligible to use it.
There are rumors in Seoul that only members of the chaebol or prosecutors are eligible to use the VIP elevator at Shilla Hotel.
Kim Tae Hee soon came to the top floor of the hotel, led by a female staff member on the 23rd floor of the hotel.
Kim Tae Hee soon came to the door of a room.
At the door of this room, Kim Tae Hee saw several female bodyguards of the "sisters".
More than half of them are foreigners, and the rest are Asian faces.
With inexplicable emotions, after the door was pushed open, Kim Tae Hee walked in.
In the spacious living room of the room, Kim Tae Hee saw Lee Young Ae, Song Hye Kyo and other "sisters" he was familiar with.
"Oh, it's finally here!"
Seeing Kim Tae Hee walking in, Song Hye Kyo, who is actually a year older than Kim Tae Hee, but has a baby face and looks younger, smiled and said briskly:
"The rehearsal can start now, time is urgent, everyone, we only have a few hours!"
Kim Tae Hee is still a little confused, not knowing what to rehearse.
The eldest sister among them, Li Yingai, smiled and nodded:
"Then everyone change clothes, and then come to rehearse."
Hearing "change clothes", Kim Tae Hee's heart moved.
She remembered what happened here a few months ago, when she was wearing traditional Korean women's clothing.
Could it be... Do you want to play that kind of plot and wear that kind of clothes again?
Compared to other Christmas elk, flight attendants, and prosecutors.
If she still wears the same outfit as before, Kim Tae Hee thinks it is acceptable.
Her beautiful eyes rolled, and soon she saw some clothes on the sofa in the living room.
Looking at the past, Kim Tae Hee found that this time, they seemed to be traditional Korean women's clothing, referred to as Hanbok.
I haven’t seen the previous Christmas elk and other suits.
Is everyone dressed like this today?
While curious and confused, Li Yingai and the others had already walked over.
Lee Young Ae also said:
"Everyone wears the same style of clothes today. The colors and sizes are different, and they all have their own names. Hurry up and get dressed. After getting dressed, it's time for rehearsal. Time is urgent, don't waste time."
While speaking, this eldest sister has already walked in front of the clothes with her own name written on them.
Li Yingai began to take off her clothes very simply, it seemed that she wanted to change clothes in front of everyone in the living room.
Kim Tae-hee is a little uncomfortable with this, but fortunately, everyone has already "confessed" to each other.
I have seen many times of shameful scenes of each other.
This is nothing.
Several other girls also imitated Li Yingai at this time and began to undress and change clothes on the spot.
Kim Tae Hee began to feel a little strange again, because they took off all their clothes very clean.
Even underwear.Underwear.Pants are not spared.
Kim Tae Hee remembers that when she wore those embarrassing clothes last time, she still wore underwear.
Why don’t you wear it this time?
"Taixi, come quickly and change clothes."
While putting the light green traditional Korean women's dress on her body, Lee Young-ae urged Kim Tae-hee.
Kim Tae Hee walked over nonchalantly, and in front of the name tag with his name written on it, he also bit the bullet and began to take off his clothes.
Her movements are a bit slow, wait until she is almost fully undressed.
Li Yingai has already dressed, and she even came to help her, or urge her.
Kim Tae Hee couldn't help but stare at Lee Young Ae who came over.
Because she saw the traditional Hanbok worn by Lee Young Ae, it was really too traditional!
She looked at the others again. Song Hye Kyo and Son Yejin were also dressed, and the other two were almost ready.
Their clothes, except for the color, are the same as Lee Young-ae, very traditional, special Hanbok!
Kim Tae-hee, who graduated from the clothing department of Seoul University, knows that this traditional Hanbok was the normal clothing of most Korean women in the 19th century.
How about this traditional Hanbok?
If it appeared in China at the same time, or even in countries with the same cultural circle as Neon.
These clothes will definitely be regarded as things that even the fireworks girls in the brothel are reluctant to wear.
Too shameless, too indecent.
But in history, Han Guobai girls in that period really wore like this.
Li Yingai still remembers that Li Demao, a great practical scholar and scholar in the Han Dynasty during the Jeongjo period, once explained in his book "Qizhuangguan Quanshu":
"Because secular men like to let their wives and concubines imitate the posture of female branch girls acting like a baby, so this kind of clothes appeared."
what clothes?
Traditional, in the 19th century, only 28 centimeters left, and even a 14.5 centimeter long top appeared, which is this kind of Hanbok.
A real traditional Hanbok that can’t even cover the underarms. If you don’t wear cloth strips, even breastfeeding babies will be completely exposed...
Right now, what Li Yingai and the others are wearing is bright colors and more comfortable materials, but the style completely imitates the things of the 19th century.
The kind of clothes that completely reveal their body.
Looking at Kim Tae Hee's surprised eyes, Lee Young Ae said flatly:
"Hurry up and put it on, after you change it, you have to rehearse the dance, time is precious."
Looking at the indifferent eyes of the other women.
Even if you feel ashamed and unwilling.
It’s time now, and Kim Tae Hee can only bite the bullet and put on a real traditional Hanbok that is completely different from the improved modern Hanbok from last time.
In the process of dressing, Kim Tae Hee even found that the bottom of this traditional Hanbok is empty.
It is composed of several silks, similar to a long skirt, but more revealing and completely transparent.
After changing the whole set of clothes, Kim Tae Hee thinks it's better not to wear...
Bite the bullet and changed his clothes, before Kim Tae Hee could breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Yingai started to call them over to rehearse again, rehearsing a set of dance moves.
This group of dance moves once again refreshed the lower limit of Kim Tae Hee.
She didn't expect them to be able to play like this, and felt even more ashamed at the same time.
Kim Tae Hee knows.
Tonight, there is a high probability that they will be wearing these authentic traditional Hanboks.
Accompanied by traditional Korean music, dancing traditional Korean classical court dance, for the appreciation of the man who is no less than a king to them.
Not to mention the shameful Kim Tae Hee, endured the shame, and started dancing rehearsal with Lee Young Ae and the others.
Shortly after Kim Tae-hee arrived at the Shilla Hotel, Abe's motorcade also arrived.
"Currently, there are four Shilla hotels in the whole Han country. Outside of Seoul and Jeju, Busan Shilla and another Shilla hotel in Seoul have just opened this year."
CEO of Smith Hotel Group.
Ms. Li Fuzhen got out of the car, supported her pregnant belly, and said softly:
"In addition to the Shilla brand, there is also Fuzhen Hotel, which I define as a lower-level hotel chain brand, and it is expected to be a 4-star or 3-star brand."
On the other side, helping her get out of the car, Abel nodded to show his understanding.
3-4 star hotels, the Vienna International Hotel that Chinese people are familiar with, is this level.
It is more high-end than express hotels, and a little worse than five-star hotels, which can be regarded as mid-to-low-end hotels.
As powerful as the Hilton Group, except for the top Hilton hotel and resort brands.
There are also mid-range Hilton Garden Inn, Hilton Hampton Hotel and other levels below, all of which are four-star.
Another hotel group similar to Hilton Group, Marriott Group.
Its classification is different from Hilton, and it is carried out through different hotel brands.
The top of Marriott is the Ritz-Carlton, a luxury five-star hotel that is even more advanced than Hilton.
Below are the JW Marriott and the Edison, which are five-star hotels at the same level as the most advanced Hilton hotels.
Below that are more than 30 brands such as Renaissance, Marriott, Delta, Gaylord, and Courtyard.
Compared with the Hilton Group, which is all crowned with a Hilton, the top and three-star hotel members, all called Hilton XX.
Abel felt that the Marriott Group’s approach could further increase the quality and class of the hotel.
Of course, Hilton's approach is also good.
That is the lower-level Hilton XX Hotel, which can look more luxurious and high-end because of the prefix Hilton.
This is a different branding strategy.
Smith Hotel Group, because Abel is more inclined to the Marriott Group model.
Li Fuzhen naturally adopts a brand strategy with different names.
Like Shilla Hotel, it is the highest-ranking brand of Smith Hotel Group for the time being, and Fuzhen Hotel is a mid-range brand with 3-4 stars.
"According to my plan and the high-level plan."
Sweetly supported by Abel, enjoying Abel's rare tenderness, Li Fu smiled and said:
“In Asia, the current dual-brand strategy will be running simultaneously. But outside of Asia, we agree that we should design a luxury hotel brand on top of Shilla Hotel.”
In the hotel industry, a luxury hotel brand is a high-end hotel brand that goes a step further on the basis of five-star hotels.
For example, the Ritz-Carlton Hotel of the Marriott Group mentioned above is a luxury class.
St. Regis, Raffles, Waldorf, etc. are also luxury chain brands.
Any one of them is more advanced than any Hilton.
Abel nodded, feeling that Li Fuzhen's strategy was correct.
Shilla Hotel in Han Country is indeed the top, and it is more popular with Han people than those luxury hotels.
But this kind of BUFF can only be enjoyed within the Han Kingdom.
Out of the country of Han, even in Asia, people from other countries will at best recognize it as a five-star luxury hotel.
It is far from the luxury level, and the brand power is not enough.
If it expands to the whole world, in Europe and America, Shilla Hotel doesn't even have much brand power.
On the brand of Shilla Hotel.
It is a very reasonable development strategy to design a more advanced luxury hotel brand.
"Yes." The two had already entered the VIP elevator, and Abel nodded and said:
"The top luxury hotel, I think it can follow the model of Burj Al Arab."
He casually said:
"The focus is on scarcity, as well as extremely extravagant and luxurious styles. In addition to services, customers must also feel that the high fees are worth the money."
Abel just said it casually, because he didn't pay much attention to the Smith Hotel.
This hotel group, although it bears his surname.
It can form its basis, which is actually Li Fuzhen's "dowry", which is the hotel industry part of the Samsvng Group.
What Abel did was to **** this part from Li Zaixi in advance through his influence.
At the same time, he invested part of the funds he had previously plundered from Hanguo stock market into this hotel group, allowing it to obtain a sufficient and terrifying cash flow for the hotel industry.
For Abel, this part of the property, the bulk of it, will most likely be inherited by his descendants in the Kingdom of Han or in Asia.
Sisters Li Fuzhen and Li Xinyu, their children, will be able to get most of its shares in the future.
This is Abel's future plan for his children.
Similarly, there are also some of his investments in Europe.
Europe and the United States have the same origin, and in the future, my children can also acquire a dual nationality as an American and go to Europe to inherit these properties.
These have been planned early in the Smith family office.
In Abel's plan, he himself is like the lion king in the lion pride on the African grassland, and he is the only male lion in the lion pride.
Occupy a large number of lionesses, lay down one piece of land after another, and constantly capture prey, allowing the lionesses to give birth to offspring one after another.
He then divided these territories among his children before he got old.
There are currently two lionesses in the grassland of Han, and their children will naturally inherit it in the future.
As for Kim Tae Hee and the others who are rehearsing hard in the guest room on the top floor, hoping to please him.
They are not even lionesses.
They are just female hyenas, doe, female antelopes, etc. who are forced to sacrifice themselves to the lion king under the oppression of the lionesses.
The Elizabeth angels in the United States, or the mouth of France in Europe and the national treasure of Spain.
They generally have this kind of positioning.
Although it is absurd, speaking out may even cause an uproar among the public and public opinion.
But in Abel's heart, he thought so.
I know I still owe one chapter, and I will pay it back the day after tomorrow or tomorrow...
