Hosting the Mahjong World Championship: Surprise Arrives
There are some omissions in the previous text, which need to be supplemented first.
The Huazi Office has also replied that the quote is $5700 for 4 days, which should be considered very good. I also went to see the venue, which could accommodate around 50 tables, slightly smaller than our expectations, but most importantly, there wasn't a decent hotel around. There used to be a Delta nearby, but now it has been rented by the government and converted into a refugee reception station.
During this period, Wumenqi also introduced a venue that he, Mimi, and Barry visited along Birchmount and the 401 highway. It was an unused office space that was small and had no nearby hotels.
Chelsea in the city center (mistakenly written as Delta earlier) and Hilton at the airport have also received news. Due to the distance of the airport, I have asked Tammy and Ketty from Mishi City to conduct a preliminary survey before proceeding. I have arranged a time for them and reminded them to pay close attention to whether there is any airplane noise indoors.
I went to Chelsea to take a look after work by myself. This hotel is located not far from the north side of the city hall, with an excellent geographical location. Although it is relatively old, it is very large and has a high passenger flow. The lobby is filled with people. The sales manager showed me the auditorium on the second floor, which can meet our needs, and the large area outside the auditorium can be used for us to sign in, eat, and rest. The rent is $6000 per day plus tax, and dining at the hotel is also required. She also said that the hotel offers pizza, which is cheaper and costs about $30 per serving plus tax and service fee.
Although I really like this venue, it's in the city center and has a grand atmosphere. But I am really short of money. I made an excuse to discuss with the team and reply to her. Actually, I want to delay for a while. If I can get government funding, I can consider this hotel.
Tammy and Ketty were also satisfied with the Hilton at the airport and even took a video for me. The venue is spacious and bright, with no indoor noise.
Because it's a hotel, Hilton definitely requires us to dine inside. I was planning to say forget it, but the hotel's sales manager Sandra told me that we could lower the rental price of the venue from $10000 per day to $1500, and she also said she could help me design a special menu to reduce costs. This level of effort and service forces me to consider talking to her.
Of course, I will definitely bring my old partner along. Andy calculated and believed that fuel consumption should be reduced to protect the environment. So he parked his car at my house and took my car straight to the airport.
Sandra was very enthusiastic and asked if we had eaten yet and if we needed a light meal at the hotel. We are deeply moved. After reading it, we thought it was indeed good, but I still expressed concerns about the total cost. Sandra thought for a moment and said, if you really need funding, I can introduce you to the relevant departments of the city government, and you can apply for funding from them. She gave me specific contact information and joked with me, 'You won't come to our hotel after taking the money, will you?'? I immediately said absolutely not. I want to formally apologize to Sandra for breaking her promise. excuse me.
The information provided by Sandra was a pleasant surprise to me, and a huge surprise. It's both unintentional and brilliant.
