Chapter 312 The Four Seasons and the Hub

In the restaurant, brothers Evan and Colin sat opposite each other, and each of them had a plate of plain pasta.

Audrey was not here, and Evan didn't have the urge to cook.

"Ah——Sneeze"

Evan, who changed into pajamas and wearing casual T-shirts, suddenly sneezes. Colin opposite him glanced at him disgustedly, and his mood to continue dining disappeared without a trace.

Colds can be contagious.

But Evan didn't care at all. After rubbing his itchy nose, he rolled the noodles with a fork and gave it to his mouth.

Colin put down his fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and asked, "Evan, are you sure you didn't have any conflicts with Audrey?"

"Of course not!" Evan said a little impatiently, because this was the second time Colin asked this after entering the door.

Is my words so unbelievable?

Colin looked at Evan and said after a while: "Okay, just pretend you said it is true."

"I wanted to have a good meal, but I didn't expect...ah!"

Colin was disappointed.

Evan said angrily: "Since that's the case, return my noodles to me!"

"Oh my God, are you a devil? Food is so precious. I will eat it and spit it out again, which is like a crime."

"you……"

Evan pulled the corner of his mouth, and I still wanted to eat it, saying that he would not vomit.

The two brothers looked at each other, then looked away tacitly.

This side is uneatable.

A few minutes later, the two moved to the living room.

Of course, Colin came here and his main purpose was not to come and have a free meal.

He came to report on the progress of the Four Season Inc project.

Well, the name Four Seasons was thought out after a few people in Colin. According to Evan's requirements when investing, it is divided into two development directions: Motel and Hotel. Due to the human resources relationship, the former is the main one, while the latter is just doing preliminary preparations such as market research.

"Evan, in the past two months, Paul and I have traveled all over the eastern United States, and have declined several states such as California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, and other states. As long as we have a little bigger camping and tourism, we have our footprints. For this reason, my Ford is almost scrapped."

"Thank you for your hard work." Looking at Colin's much rougher skin, Evan could probably imagine how hard Colin had been in the past two months. He took out a box of Montblancs and threw it over: "So what about the harvest?"

Evan doesn't smoke himself, but he knows Colin has this hobby.

"It's not hard at all, and of course I gain a lot..." Colin caught the cigarette. Seeing Evan nodding at him, he said while tearing it down: "I have more confidence in the motel after this trip. Just in time, John replied that he had learned almost everything and wanted to end his undercover life."

"So, do you want to officially start construction?" Evan looked at Colin lighting a cigarette with his cheap lighter, thinking about what gift to give this Christmas this year.

Well, Zippo's lighter looks pretty good.

"That's right." Colin took a sip, spit out a smoke ring, and nodded.

"The first step at the beginning of the work is very important. Where are you planning to open your first store?" Evan used a hand fan to dispel the smoke and let himself smoke less second-hand smoke.

Seeing this, Colin simply took a sip and then snatched the cigarette with his fingers.

"I know this, because I am cautious, so I haven't decided yet."

“There are three locations to choose from, one along Route 66, one along Route 40 and one on Coastal Highway 1.”

"Stop!" Evan said: "What are you talking to me about these things? You don't want me to make a decision?"

"This..." Colin looked embarrassed that he had done something bad.

Evan said seriously: "I don't care about this, you decide for yourself."

"This is your career. I am just an investor. I only pay for money and make some suggestions if necessary. How to operate can only be decided by you."

After hearing this, Colin curled his lips and said, "Then do you still ask us to open a hotel?"

Evan said: "Opening a hotel is my advice as an investor. You can listen or not."

"So, are you going to not open a hotel?"

Evan looked kind and Colin became alert. He felt that if he nodded at this time, there would definitely be no good things next.

So Colin immediately shook his head: "No, this is not true."

"I visited a lot of airports this time. Judging from what I saw, it is indeed a good idea to open a hotel around the airport."

"Oh? Is it?" Evan half-believed, "Aren't you perfunctory?"

"How could it be?" Colin continued to increase his credibility: "For example, if you can, I want to open a Four Seasons Hotel there."

"Now?"

"Of course not..." Collinton said, "At the current growth rate of air passenger transport, it will take three or four years to go."

"Now, the passenger flow is not enough."

Evan looked at Colin, thought for a while, and said, "It seems that you have really put some effort into it, just do what you said."

Evan was convinced that he did not have a clear idea of ​​the opportunity to enter the hotel industry. There was no way, he only knew that the hotel industry had a future, but he didn't know when this industry would explode.

Therefore, Colin said that Evan was not unacceptable to waiting for three or four years.

By the way, under the control of the Civil Aviation Act, American Airlines' routes were not flexible enough, with low competition intensity, high prices, and service quality not guaranteed. High-speed passenger planes that can attract a large number of customers are still in the development stage and will not be put into use until about ten years later.

In this way, Colin's three or four years is still optimistic.

Well, wait, it's not right to think so.

American civil aviation will later form a pattern of radiating around with an airport as a hub. It would be too late to enter the venue at that time.

I have to enter the venue early.

I think, what are the hub airports? First, New York and Atlanta in the east, then Chicago in the Great Lakes, Houston in the south, Los Angeles and San Francisco in the west, and finally, by the way, Denver in the middle.

These places cannot be left out.

Thinking about this clearly, Evan suddenly stopped Colin who was about to leave.

"Colin, wait, I suddenly changed my mind."

Colin had to sit down again, and listen to what Evan said.

"Colin, how many years are you going to stay at Yale?"

"I'm going to get a doctorate, so it's going to take more than three years."

"In this case, you will definitely not be able to take care of the matters of the four seasons, and at most you can start a remote meeting. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless Four Seasons also open business in the east, New York, as a big city, has the most mature hotel industry."

"so……"

"Yes, when you are at school, go to a hotel in New York and try to open a Four Seasons hotel."

"this……"

“It’s difficult?”

“That’s not.”
