Chapter 243: Aggressive

Over the past ten days, the traffic of Golden Leaf Restaurant has increased every day, and the phenomenon of waiting for seats has gradually appeared.

Lan Bowang and Li Yi do have a lot of business meals, almost every day. The people they brought were different each time, and the fame of Golden Leaf Restaurant quickly spread in a small area in Hanseong's business circles.

Many old customers of Tianlong Restaurant know that there is a very powerful chef at Golden Leaf Restaurant, and everyone who has eaten there says that it is no worse than Tianlong Restaurant, and the price is much cheaper.

They first came over to eat it with the mentality of giving it a try, only to find that the reality was better than the rumors.

The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, not to mention that the Golden Leaf Restaurant is opposite the Tianlong Restaurant, once the word of mouth comes out, it will soon spread among the diners.

The footfall of Golden Leaf Restaurant has increased significantly, while the footfall of Tianlong Restaurant has gradually decreased.

At first, it was not obvious, and after half a month passed, the contrast between the two sides became wider and wider.

Cheng Xinyu has been staying on Yuehu Road for a while, and he is secretly anxious when he sees that the business of Golden Leaf Restaurant is getting better and better, and the customer source of Tianlong Restaurant is seriously lost.

He originally thought that even if the Golden Leaf Restaurant invited a chef, it would be impossible to bring the dead back to life. After all, the most famous chef class in Hancheng is in Tianlong Restaurant, and other chefs can't be compared with the chefs of the Chen family's class.

His arrogant thinking soon made him realize how naΓ―ve his ideas were.

He came to Chu Tiangang's office again in a huff, Chu Tiangang, who was looking at the materials, was startled by Cheng Xinyu who suddenly broke in, he looked at the young master Cheng with a distorted face and a very ugly face, and asked, "What's wrong, what's going on?"

Cheng Xinyu came to his desk, propped his hands on the table, looked down at him, and said in an unkind tone: "You have an annual salary of hundreds of thousands, are you just sitting here reading information and drinking tea?"

Chu Tian just had a headache when he saw him. This eldest young master has never asked about the company before, since the opening of the Golden Leaf Restaurant on Yuehu Road, he seems to have changed as a different person, staring at the Golden Leaf Restaurant all day long.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Chu Tiangang guessed that he must be doing it for the Golden Leaf Restaurant again.

He didn't speak, and his face was a little ugly.

Anyway, he is also a professional manager who has been successfully hired with a high salary, and in terms of age, he is still Cheng Xinyu's elder, but this eldest young master has always had no one in his eyes, and he has not taken him seriously at all.

Listening to his questioning tone, I felt that he Chu Tiangang seemed to eat white food and not work.

"How much customers have lost in the Moon Lake store, and how much the turnover has declined, do you, the general manager, know?"

As he expected, what Cheng Xinyu said was still about the Moon Lake store.

Although he didn't mention the Golden Leaf Restaurant, what he meant was that the Golden Leaf Restaurant stole the business of Tianlong Restaurant.

"Each branch does a financial report once a month, and it is not yet the end of the month, and the financial report has not come up, how can we judge that the turnover of the Yuehu store has declined significantly?"

Cheng Xinyu was rude three times and twice, which made him a little unbearable.

"This is a professional manager? I sit in the office all day and wait for the financial report? Your annual salary of hundreds of thousands is too easy to get, right? Do you think that Tianlong Group is a charity, raising people like you to live here?"

Cheng Xinyu is aggressive, this general manager has refused to give him face several times, every time he wants him to do something, either pushing three or four or playing Tai Chi, he has no good impression of Chu Tiangang.

If he hadn't had power, such a person would have been kicked by him a long time ago.

Chu Tiangang's face was so angry that his face was blue, and Cheng Xinyu's aggressiveness made him feel that he had been greatly humiliated.

Over the years, under his management, Tianlong Restaurant can be said to be thriving, and in less than five years, its profits have increased several times.

More than a dozen stores have gradually changed from the original mass consumption to mid-to-high-end consumption. In particular, the head office has become a famous luxury consumption place in Hancheng, and the profit generated in a year accounts for more than 20% of the entire Tianlong Group.

Such achievements and successes have been highly praised for him, and he has been commended at several enlarged meetings of the board of directors. But all his achievements, in the mouth of this big young master who doesn't understand bullshit, have become bullshit.

He held back his anger and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?"

"The Moon Lake store is losing a lot of customers now, as the general manager, do you want to find a way to save it?"

"How do you say to save it?"

"Are you the general manager or am I the general manager?"

Cheng Xinyu's sentence grabbed white, choking Chu Tiangang almost out of breath.

"Okay, I'll understand the situation first, and then I'll make a plan. ”

He said helplessly.

Anyway, he is still holding the job of starting a family, and the eldest young master in front of him, it is best not to provoke him.

"Now that I think about it, I want to understand the situation, why did I go earlier?"

Cheng Xinyu was unforgiving, and grabbed another sentence.

Seeing that Chu Tiangang's chest was rising and falling with anger, and his face was pale, he said slowly: "Okay, I'll tell you about the situation, so you don't have to waste time." ”

Chu Tiangang looked at him coldly: "Please speak." ”

"It's still Golden Leaf Restaurant, and they have invited a new chef, this chef is called Shen Wanhong. Since the chef came, the flow of customers at Golden Leaf Restaurant has increased every day, and many of the customers of our Moon Lake restaurant have gone to their side. In the current situation, the loss of customers in the Moon Lake store is at least more than 30%, and there is a trend of continuous increase. If effective measures are not taken, the Moon Lake store will soon have an operating loss......"

When Chu Tiangang heard the name Shen Wanhong, there was a strange color in his eyes. But he didn't interrupt him and listened to him all the time.

"You just said that the chef opposite is Shen Wanhong?"

"That's right, an old man......"

Chu Tiangang fell into deep thought, as a professional manager in the catering industry, of course he knew Shen Wanhong.

After a while, he called the Yuehu store and asked Manager Du about the operation of the Yuehu store during this period of time. Bibi eBook

Manager Du's reaction was really the same as what Cheng Xinyu said, however, he believes that the reason for the loss of customers is not entirely because of the Golden Leaf Restaurant, but the normal fluctuations after the May Day holiday.

After Chu Tiangang knew the situation, he didn't say anything, grabbed the phone again, and called the head office in Chengnan District.

"Ask Chief Chen to answer the phone. ”

He said after the phone was connected.

Cheng Xinyu asked puzzledly: "It's the Yuehu store that has a problem, what are you doing with the head office?"

Chu Tiangang ignored him and said to Chen Bawan, who had already received the call: "Mr. Chen, the Golden Leaf Restaurant opposite the Moon Lake store has recruited a new chef, saying that it is Shen Wanhong, do you know?"

"Shen Wanhong, is there a mistake, Old Man Shen announced that he had washed his hands five years ago, how could he appear in the Golden Leaf Restaurant?"

"It shouldn't be wrong, the young master said it himself. Moreover, the loss of customers in the Moon Lake store is serious, which must have been affected by the Golden Leaf Restaurant. It seems that it may take President Chen to personally go to the Moon Lake store for a period of time before he can ......"

"Let me go to the Moon Lake store? Do you think it would be useful?"

Without waiting for him to finish, Chen Bawan cut off his words and said.

"If it is really Old Man Shen's chef at the Golden Leaf Restaurant, even if I go, it will be impossible to restore the status quo of the Moon Lake restaurant. He is the Taishan Beidou of the chef world, although he has always fought alone, but his fame is not below me. ”

Chu Tiangang was silent for a moment, and then asked, "That...... What can Mr. Chen do?"

"I'm just a chef and my job is to make the dishes right!"

Chen Bawan said a simple sentence and hung up the phone.

He is right, he is just a chef, as long as the dishes are ready, as for how to run it, it is not the chef's final say.

Chu Tiangang slowly put down the microphone and looked at Cheng Xinyu.

"You're the general manager, and you actually asked the chef about business matters?"

Chu Tiangang could hear the disdain in his tone, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked, "Then what do you say to deal with?"

Cheng Xinyu said firmly: "Price reduction!"

Chu Tiangang immediately objected: "Reducing prices is the next policy, injuring the enemy by 1,000 and self-inflicting losses of 800, and this method cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary." ”

Over the years, it has finally pulled Tianlong Restaurant into the ranks of high-end restaurants, making Tianlong Restaurant the ceiling of the food industry in Hancheng.

High prices are also one of the secrets of maintaining the stability of Tianlong Restaurant's customer supply, if the price is reduced, it will inevitably cause shocks in the food industry, and even affect the brand image of Tianlong Restaurant.

"And you think of a better way?"

Cheng Xinyu's tone was still a little contemptuous.

In Chu Tiangang's heart, there were many ways at this moment: promotional discounts, coupons, etc., which were actually price reductions in disguise. And in the current situation, such a small fight will definitely not play an obvious role.

He couldn't think of a better way than to cut the price for a while.

"Then cut the price by 20% first......"

"Are you kidding around? If you want to suppress the gold leaf restaurant, you have to lower the price than theirs. ”

Cheng Xinyu said coldly.

Immediately, he took out a piece of paper from his body and placed it on his desk.

Chu Tiangang picked up the piece of paper and glanced at it, on which was written the menu and price of the Golden Leaf Restaurant......

When he saw those prices, he couldn't help but sink in his heart.

"Our operating costs are much higher than those of Golden Leaf Restaurant, and if we drop below this price, it is difficult to guarantee that we will still be profitable......

"There are more than a dozen branches of Tianlong Restaurant, each of which is profitable, even if the Yuehu store loses money, it will not affect the overall situation. As long as the Golden Leaf Restaurant is destroyed, and the price is raised when the time comes, are you afraid that you won't be able to recover this loss?"

Cheng Xinyu had obviously thought of his words a long time ago, and before Chu Tiangang finished speaking, he immediately said.

He is not unreasonable, there are more than a dozen stores in Tianlong Restaurant, and each of them has a very considerable profit, even if the Moon Lake store loses money, it is not that it cannot afford to raise it.

A hint of discoloration flashed in Chu Tiangang's eyes, it seemed that he had really underestimated this big young master before. He was resolute and decisive in dealing with problems, much like his father's success.

"The stakes are too big for me to decide right away. In this way, I will escalate your proposal to the chairman of the board of directors, and ask the chairman to make the final decision. ”

Cheng Xinyu stood up straight, glanced at him with some contempt, and said, "You can ask for instructions, but it's better to hurry, the longer the time drags on, the more difficult it will be to solve the matter." ”

With that, he turned around and left the general manager's office.

Chu Tiangang did not dare to delay and immediately went to the chairman's office.

Chenggong listened to his report, pondered for a moment, and asked, "You say...... The idea of reducing the price was proposed by Cheng Xinyu?"

Chu Tiangang said: "It was proposed by the young master, and he said that he would descend to the end." ”

Success suddenly slapped the table, got up and said, "Okay! It seems that I really underestimated him before, and he has courage." ”

Chu Tiangang looked at the success that was a little excited, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"You will follow his suggestion, and notify the personnel department, starting tomorrow, let Cheng Xinyu be your assistant. Mr. Chu, you have to take him with you......"

Chu Tiangang's heart sank, let this eldest young master be his assistant, how will his work be carried out in the future?
