Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

At 7:05 in the morning, the plane landed at Los Angeles Airport.

Taking into account the time difference, the current domestic time is 15 hours faster, which means that it is actually 22 o'clock in the evening in Jingzhou.

Pan Ying had already slept beautifully on the plane, went to the bathroom in advance to change her pajamas, and then simply washed.

The ten-odd hours on the plane was still very wonderful for him. First, he ate crazy food. He never stopped all kinds of dinners, drinks, ice cream, and desserts. After eating, he put on headphones and watched. Two movies, and then slept comfortably for eight hours.

Get up now, refreshed.

I have filled out the declaration form on the plane before, and Wu Yue also issued everyone a mobile phone card to use locally.

Pan Ying replaced the calling card like the other team members, and then turned on the phone.

"Hey? Today is the 22nd?"

Pan Ying instinctively felt that there was something magical, because it was noon on the 22nd when they left from the magic city, but it became the morning on the 22nd when they arrived in Los Angeles, as if they had spent a whole day in their life for nothing. time.

Wu Yue smiled: "You will have to pay back all these time when you return to China."

"Well, everyone hurry up and take your luggage, we are going to get off the plane."

Thinking that they are already on land in a foreign country, Pan Ying and the other team members are very afraid that they will be lost. At that time, everyone on the construction site is afraid that it will be difficult to ask for directions, so I hurried to follow up.

Although this plane is double-decker, there are only dozens of seats in the business class, while the economy class has more than 400 seats, so there are economy class on the upper and lower floors.

It's just that the business class has a dedicated passage, priority is given to getting on and off the plane, and there is an express entry service for business travel, so you can save a lot of time whether you get on or off the plane.

Wu Yue didn't know where Zhao Xuming and the others were currently, but since the two were not going to the same place, there was no need to meet again.

The translator has already contacted the bodyguards and minibuses hired here in advance, and they can go directly from the airport to the venue of the competition.

Under the guidance of Wu Yue, Ding Gan, and the translator, everyone quickly met with the local guides and bodyguards hired in advance.

The four bodyguards were in suits and leather shoes, and they also wore sunglasses. Even if they were pulled over and placed next to the president, there would be no sense of disobedience.

Pan Ying sighed from the bottom of his heart: "This is so special..."

"It's a dreamlike morning."

The other team members are also full of excitement, one by one full of energy.The dozen or so hours on the plane didn't make them feel tired. Instead, they were well rested and now full of energy.

The three photographers are also shooting the whole process, recording the team members on the way from the magic city to Los Angeles. After all, the money is enough and they are very responsible.

On the minibus, Pan Ying asked, "Where did we book the hotel?"

Wu Yue smiled and said, "It's near the venue, the Ritz-Carlton."

Ding Gan couldn't help but said with emotion: "The per capita room and board standard that President Pei has set for you is outrageous. I can pay for the Ritz-Carlton Hotel by myself, but it's okay to live in the Ritz-Carlton, but I have to live for 30 people and stay for one month... too exaggerated. ."

Wu Yue nodded: "Actually, I didn't think too much at the time. The standard of board and lodging provided by Mr. Pei was too high. I saw that there was a Ritz-Carlton Hotel nearby, which was suitable in all aspects, so I decided."

Ding Gan couldn't help being a little speechless.

God is just right!

The Ritz-Carlton is a high-end hotel of the resort brand. Even among the five-star hotels, it is considered to be a more luxurious category, and it is only one street away from the competition venues. The location is very good.

Ding Gan is certainly willing to live by himself, but Mr. Pei has arranged for the entire team of 30 people here, which highlights the inhumanity of a trench.

Wu Yue looked around the crowd and said, “You can only check in in the afternoon at the hotel. When we arrive, we can store our luggage first, and then have something to eat. There is a special chef here to provide Chinese food. Mainly Chinese food."

"Of course, before the official start of the World Championship, you can eat some local specialties and adjust the adjustment."

"Do you still need a rest at the hotel?"

The players shook their heads.

What else to rest on?I have already eaten and drunk enough on the plane and slept for eight hours. Now I can start training with just a little bit of food!

Wu Yue nodded: "Okay, let's store our luggage first, settle down, and then go to the training place to check in. We will check in when we come back in the afternoon."

"There are not many Internet cafes here, after all, the Internet cafe culture is not particularly popular abroad."

"Considering factors such as distance, environment, and computer configuration, there is only one that is most suitable."

"We have already packed all the machines on the entire second floor of this Internet cafe in advance, and we will train here in the future. But everyone is mentally prepared. Although it is the best Internet cafe nearby, it may not be possible to go to the Internet cafe with the best conditions. That level."

Pan Ying was a little surprised: "Huh? Can you book the venue directly? Isn't it a bit too wasteful?"

Wu Yue shook his head: "It's more cost-effective instead of wasting."

"The internet fee here is different from that in China. It is very expensive. It costs $10 an hour, $18 for three hours, but only $20 a day for chartered flights. Because most players here only play for 1 to 3 hours. , That's why we set this price."

"We are training here except resting in the hotel. I have asked the boss in advance. There are a lot of machines in the lobby on the first floor. There are hundreds of machines. The second floor has less than 30 machines. The environment on the second floor is better. It's about 600 dollars a day, which is not expensive."

"In this way, you don't have to worry about being disturbed by strangers, and you don't have to worry about possible tactical leaks."

Pan Ying nodded very excitedly: "Yes, perfect! Then let's hurry up and start practicing, I can't wait!"

...

More than two hours later, Zhao Xuming and the members of the two clubs finally arrived at the door of the Courtyard Hotel with sleepy eyes.

Although the distance from the airport to here is not that far, a series of operations such as taking luggage when leaving the airport took a lot of time.

The players were a little listless one by one, feeling all supported by a breath of fairy air.

Although they all slept for a few hours, the economy class chairs really couldn’t sleep well. They often woke up every two or three hours. After waking up, it was difficult to continue to fall asleep because of soreness. watch movie.

In short, everyone is not resting very well. It can be said that the boats are tired, the clothes are full of wrinkles, and the hair style is very messy. I can't wait to go to the hotel to take a shower and get a good night's sleep.

Zhao Xuming secretly said in his heart that fortunately, people in business class can leave first, otherwise it would be embarrassing to meet again at the airport then!

He could make up for Wu Yue and the others when they left the business class, and then look at their own state...can't take a closer look.

Anyway, I finally arrived at the hotel!

The team members looked at the magnificent building of the Courtyard Hotel in front of them, and the fatigue of the boats and cars all the way was finally relieved, and their eyes were full of excitement.

This time, the official hotel arranged by the finger company for the clubs is this Courtyard hotel, which can be seamlessly connected after the start of the World Championship.

The Courtyard by Marriott is roughly equivalent to a four-star hotel. It is a mid-range hotel, and it is already quite well-known. No one can say that the accommodation conditions are poor.

The main entrance of the hotel is a circular arc-shaped lobby with a large billboard on it, which looks very impressive.

When everyone was about to drag their luggage in, they heard a team member say: "Hey, what is this tall building across the road?"

When the others turned their heads, they saw a sea-blue skyscraper directly into the sky across the street.

Although the building of the Courtyard Hotel is quite tall, the building on the opposite side of the road is not at the same level. The latter can already be regarded as a landmark building, which is more than two hundred meters high by visual inspection.

Zhao Xuming said: "Oh, that's the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. The price is about three times higher than here."

The team members couldn't help but stunned, and they didn't mention this topic very tacitly.

Is it three times more expensive?

A double room here costs about 1,000 yuan, and there are two thousand and five to go up there. The price difference is really big.

However, the two hotels are separated by a road, and they happen to be face-to-face. They are only about 200 meters from the venue, which is exactly the same in terms of convenience.

And the stay at the Courtyard Hotel is not bad anymore. What kind of family is living in the opposite building?Contentment is always happy, contentment is always happy.

The players had to comfort themselves like this.

However, these people just planned to enter the hotel lobby and forget about it, when they saw a group of people walking out of the Ritz-Carlton hotel opposite, talking and laughing, one by one, they boarded the small parks not far away full of energy. Bus.

The three eldest photographers still followed conscientiously to shoot.

Although the distance is not close, Zhao Xuming and others recognized at a glance this is the group of FV clubs. After all, in a foreign country, all compatriots will naturally bring their own highlighting effects.

I saw the minibus start quickly, carrying a car team members do not know where.

Zhao Xuming and others fell into an awkward silence.

In fact, the members of the two clubs did not have any special feelings. Although the hotel opposite is good, it has nothing to do with them. Most of them are celebrities and rich local tyrants.

Since Zhitou has uniformly arranged the Courtyard Hotel for all clubs and everyone has the same board and lodging conditions, there is no need to ask for more.

But seeing everyone from FV Club and SUG Club coming out of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel opposite, the mentality of everyone has undergone some subtle changes.

This is too unacceptable!

It doesn't matter if this group of people arrive in business class. The hotel they live in is twice as expensive and several grades higher than the official arrangement!

The mentality is a little broken.

Zhao Xuming now has only one feeling, that is outrageous!

What is the relationship between this FV club and President Pei? This is simply pro-son treatment. Is President Pei being extravagant to such an extent?

Don’t those old-fashioned clubs and star players who are worthy of foreigners stay at the Courtyard Hotel obediently?

I don't know how big this group of people in FV club are!

Zhao Xuming was sour in silence. After a moment of silence, he hurriedly changed the subject: "Check in quickly and find a place to eat."

Others also responded, never mentioning the FV club anymore.

Since check-in is only available in the afternoon, everyone decided to store their luggage first, have a bite to eat at the hotel, and check in after the training venue is set.

There is a buffet of $15 per person in the hotel. They are all standard American food and snacks. It is not a special habit to eat, but it is generally good.

Zhao Xuming, the accompanying interpreter and the two club leaders started to consider the training venue while eating.

Although Zhitou's official company will arrange a training room, it must be after the start of the World Championship. And the so-called training room is mostly renting a few meeting rooms in the hotel for the team members, and then putting a few computers and a few TVs. Competition chairs, the overall conditions and environment cannot be expected too much.

If you want to train these days, you still have to find a place yourself.

The translator said: "Mr. Zhao, I just checked here. There are not many Internet cafes nearby, but there is one with relatively good conditions. You can consider it."

"After dinner, we can go and have a look. It just so happens that the high-segment super accounts given by the finger company are also available. At that time, players can play RANK here, and training games with other European and American teams can also be arranged in advance. ."

Zhao Xuming nodded absently.

He doesn't care about the training situation of the two teams at all. After all, he is in charge of ioi operations by Longyu Group, and is not the old mother of the team.

Zhao Xuming felt that he had to pay for the two teams. He couldn't find a training venue and he still had to deal with it, right?

He has only one idea right now, which is to move in quickly, take a bath and sleep well, and then go to the headquarters of Zhitou with other accompanying employees of Longyu Group to visit.

At this moment, a team leader suddenly said, "Wow, the hotel where the FV club lives... the environment is also great, right?"

The team members next to each other looked over.

I saw that the FV Club’s official Weibo has updated all the details of this trip to Los Angeles in real time, including previous group photos at the airport, and some daily small videos.

The latest Weibo is a photo of everyone dining at the Ritz-Carlton. Obviously, the group of FV club members arrived more than half an hour earlier than them.

The photos did not focus on the food, mainly the players.But it can still be seen that the dining environment is obviously not the same level as here. There are all kinds of meals, such as sushi, sashimi, cakes, barbecue, and even Chinese food.

The color of the food is quite gorgeous, the presentation is also very delicate, all the food is carefully arranged, after shooting by professional photographers, it looks appetizing.

Unsurprisingly, there are various comments on "poisoning late at night" and "envious, jealous and hate" under Weibo. After all, it is late at night in China.

The members of the two clubs looked at the buffet they were eating, and their knives and forks slowed down unconsciously.

As for Zhao Xuming, he was even more angry.

This group of people in the FV club is too much!

Like a turtle, walking all the way and shooting all the way, showing off constantly, as for?

Everyone knows that the hotel over there is good, but it doesn't matter if you just take photos outside, even if you eat food?

What's the difference between this and eating?

Too much, too much!

Zhao Xuming thought the buffet here was good, but now he only feels unwilling to eat.

Uncomfortable!
