Chapter 244: The World's No. 1 Restaurant, Let Your Child Win at the Starting Line!
Guo Shouxin didn't come alone, he came with a team.
After seeing Liu Xiahui, the big boss of the Liu Group, even if he was as arrogant as Guo Shouxin, he couldn't help but admire, it was really the achievements of this peer who were too awesome.
Before Guo Shouxin came, he had read Liu Xiahui's investigation report in detail, which is a very common kind of business investigation.
In this business investigation, Guo Shouxin knew that Liu Xiahui dropped out of school at the age of 16 to start a business, and after more than eight years of struggle, the Liu's Group, which has a market value of at least tens of billions.
With such a dazzling result, Guo Shouxin really had to be convinced.
Even his god-like grandfather, when he started his business, he had a start-up capital of 30,000 US dollars, as well as the connections and career left by his great-grandfather.
After decades of hard work, they have the Guo family today.
But this peer in front of him, who is really self-made, took the two thousand yuan of tuition and miscellaneous fees given by his parents, started from a small white cut stall, and it took less than ten years to catch up with the accumulation of their Guo family for decades and become a super-rich man with a net worth of tens of billions, which is even more legendary than Bill, the richest man in the world.
In short, although Guo Shouxin is arrogant and conceited, he knows in his heart that if he doesn't rely on his family and let him start from scratch, he may be able to become a millionaire with a net worth of millions or even tens of millions within ten years.
However, he has definitely become a billionaire, and he still has this self-knowledge.
Moreover, what makes Guo Shouxin can't help but be jealous is that Liu Xiahui not only has super business talent, but also is so handsome and outstanding in terms of appearance, saying that he can directly debut as an idol star if he exaggerates.
Compared with Liu Xiahui, Guo Shouxin, who has always been confident, almost has low self-esteem!
Saying so much, in fact, I want to express a meaning, Liu Xiahui, a self-made super-rich generation, is the only convincing peer of Guo Shouxin, the eldest young master who was born with a golden spoon.
After the two sides met and complimented each other, Guo Shouxin got down to business and said: "Mr. Liu, this cooperation, we at Shangri-Hotels and Resorts are very sincere, and we can agree to all the cooperation conditions you put forward before." And let's be honest, in the high-end hotel space, I don't boast, there is no hotel group in the whole of Asia that can compare to Shangri-Hotels and Resorts. Our cooperation between the two sides can be said to be a strong alliance, which is a win-win situation!"
"I really feel your sincerity!"
Liu Xiahui nodded, then stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Guo Shao, then let's cooperate happily!"
Guo Shouxin was slightly stunned, then stretched out his hand to shake Liu Xiahui, and laughed: "Mr. Liu, happy cooperation!"
......
After the general direction of cooperation between the two sides is determined, the remaining side matters will naturally have his subordinates to talk about, and these must not be worried about Liu Xiahui and Guo Shouxin.
Liu Xiahui organized a small-scale gathering, and those who were eligible to be invited were all the more important second generation and rich second generation of officials in Gui Province, and those with official positions below the department level or assets of less than 100 million yuan were not eligible to participate.
Guo Dashao is also very interested in this kind of gathering that can expand his personal relationships, and the other second-generation officials or rich second-generation who were invited over also have the same idea, and everyone has the idea of "one more friend and one more way".
In this way, it is natural that the guests and hosts will be happy!
......
The design of Liu's Tower is in the shape of a lotus flower, with a total of 138 floors.
The 137th and 138th floors, the highest floor, are intended to be used to open high-end restaurants, of which the 138th floor is a Chinese restaurant, and the 137th floor is a Western restaurant.
Whether it is Chinese or Western food, we will invite the best chefs, use the best ingredients, and match the best service.
At present, the Chinese restaurant and the Western restaurant are under renovation, and these two restaurants are named "The World's No. 1 Chinese Restaurant" and "The World's No. 1 Western Restaurant" respectively by Yanagi Hui, and the names are so awesome that they are fried.
Then, the 109th to 136th floors of the Liu's Tower are the five-star hotels of Shangri.
The 100th to 108th floors of the Liu's Building are the office areas of the Liu's Group, the parent company, and many of its subsidiaries.
As for the 1st to 6th floors of the Liu's Building and the surrounding podium, it forms a very large commercial center, which can be said to be the most sought-after location in the entire building, and naturally no one is worried about renting.
In fact, if it weren't for Liu's Group's pickiness about the merchants stationed there, these positions would have been snatched up long ago.
The leasing of the whole building is not going very smoothly, from the 7th to the 99th floors.
After all, there are few groups in the entire Guizhou Province that have the strength to rent a floor as the group headquarters, and it seems almost impossible to rent out the remaining 90 floors of the building.
Even, being able to rent out half of it is the greatest success!
Liu Xiahui doesn't care about this, the purpose of his building this Liu's building is not to make money, if it is to make money, no matter which industry the hundreds and billions of dollars are invested in, they can make a lot of money, who would invest in building skyscrapers?
At this time, although the "World's No. 1 Chinese Restaurant" and "the World's No. 1 Western Restaurant" have not yet been renovated, the recruitment of the restaurant has already begun.
In fact, since the construction of Liu's Building, Liu Xiahui has already thought of opening a Chinese restaurant and a Western restaurant here, and he was already looking for the head chef of these two restaurants at that time.
The head chef of the Chinese restaurant, Liu Xiahui, has taken a fancy to several candidates, all of whom are well-known figures in my country's culinary industry, no matter which one is invited to be the head chef, he can hold up the scene, and he will definitely not insult the name of "the world's first Chinese restaurant".
And the head chef of the Western restaurant, Liu Xiahui only took a fancy to one person, that is, Chen Lan, who was born on my country's treasure island.
Speaking of this Chen Lan, she is really a well-known figure in the chef world, she was born in 1981, only three years older than Liu Xiahui, but she is a world celebrity chef with a deep background and a very high appearance.
She graduated from the Department of Foreign Languages of Treasure Island University in 2003 and went to France to study culinary arts for four years after graduation.
Later, he went to ESCF-Ferrandi to study dessert making.
She is the only Asian woman to have won the title of Relais & Châteaux Star Chef for her French cuisine.
The reason why Yanashita Hui knows her is because of her status as a world-class famous chef, she is the only female chef in my country who is listed as a world-class famous chef.
If you follow the development trajectory of the previous life, in 2008, Chen Lan spent hundreds of millions of treasure island coins to build Lemu, an independent French restaurant, on Baodao.
Then, in 2014, in the "Asia's 50 Best Restaurants" poll, which is the most influential in the international food industry, Chen Lan defeated many strong competitors and won the "Asia's Best Female Chef 2014" award.
It is precisely because he knows Chen Lan's strength and potential in the chef world that Liu Xiahui sent someone to contact her early, and asked her to talk about cooperation after returning from her studies in France.
Originally, Chen Lan always wanted to return to Baodao to invest in a restaurant after returning from her studies, which was also the route she took in her previous life, after all, with her deep background, she was not afraid that a restaurant would not be able to afford to invest.
However, in the end, Chen Lan was still moved by the people sent by Liu Xiahui, because the promise given by Liu Xiahui was too tempting for the chef.
The first is the restaurant environment, which will be opened on the 138th floor, the tallest building in the world.
The second is the ingredients, as the so-called clever woman is difficult to cook without rice, even if it is a great chef, if the ingredients themselves are not good, then it will not be able to make any good taste.
Liu Xiahui promised that as long as Chen Lan joined his restaurant, he would provide her with the world's top quality and best ingredients, which made Chen Lan unable to say no.
To be honest, compared to French food, Liu Xiahui still prefers China's broad and profound Chinese food, but unfortunately several famous Chinese chefs in contact with him are either old, or have their own restaurants, and some have more than one.
If you want a celebrity chef who was originally the boss to be the head chef of this [World's No. 1 Chinese Restaurant], it's not that there is no possibility, but even if it succeeds, it will definitely have to pay a lot of price, which is a bit more than worth the loss.
In the end, Yanagi Hui came up with a solution, that is, to invite a respected chef to be the head chef of this [world's No. 1 Chinese restaurant], and then select a strong celebrity chef from the eight major cuisines to serve as the head chef of each major cuisine.
With such a strong lineup of chefs, the name of "World's No. 1 Chinese Restaurant" is well deserved.
......
Liu Xia Hui believes in a sentence: let your children win at the starting line.
He invested tens of millions of dollars to build a kindergarten, just to give his daughter the best education.
Of course, many people in society today misinterpret the phrase "let children win at the starting line", and even use the depraved trajectory of the three "genius prodigies" in the first junior class of USTC to prove that this sentence is the biggest lie in education.
Indeed, the once famous genius prodigy, as a result, one became a monk, one fell out with his mentor, and one suffered from mental illness, and the results all seem to prove that "let the child win at the starting line" is wrong.
In fact, this statement is a bit extreme.
The depravity of those geniuses has nothing to do with the phrase "let the child win at the starting line", the main reason is that the parents are too eager to pull out the seedlings and ignore the children's mental growth, which ultimately leads to such a result.
Liu Shitahui's understanding of "letting children win at the starting line" is not to force their children to learn this and that, nor is it like almost driving their children crazy for a college entrance examination as they played on TV.
His educational philosophy is to provide children with the best educational conditions, such as piano, dancing, calligraphy, painting, etc., if the child likes to learn, let her learn, if the child does not like to learn, then not reluctantly.
In short, it's all about interest.
It is said that interest is the best teacher, and Yanagi Hui also thinks so, anyway, his children are born rich, learning knowledge is just to broaden their horizons, and learning art is only to cultivate sentiment, not as a means of making a living.
Yanagi Hui's idea is very simple, that is, to provide the best educational conditions for his daughter, and the rest will be natural.
Don't underestimate this best educational condition, just like a key school and an ordinary school, both the teachers and the learning environment are completely different.
Even if it is the same school, the learning environment is very different from that of the ordinary class.
It's still the old saying, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, in the key classes of key schools, the classmates around you love learning, you will naturally be affected, and you will slowly love learning.
And in those well-known garbage schools, there are really all kinds of ghosts, snakes, and gods in them, and it is nothing new for them to start fighting, smoking and drinking, and even junior high school students falling in love.
If you study in such an environment, you will only have a ghost if you can learn well.
This is the real reason why many parents prefer to spend 180,000 yuan to buy their children in key schools.
The little fairy kindergarten invested and built by Liu Xiahui was fully renovated in March, and Liu Xiaoxian could come to school in September.
Although it is indeed a bit early to start kindergarten at the age of two, Liu Shita Hui didn't want to leave his daughter in kindergarten at the beginning, but planned to guide it slowly, and when necessary, it is okay for those of them to be parents to make guest appearances as teachers under the guidance of teachers.
Liu Xiahui is a kindergarten built for his daughter, and the tens of millions of funds are smashed down, and the effect is naturally leveraged, and the ranking of hardware facilities in the entire Guizhou Province can be said to be without any suspense, and it is the first place properly.
Even if you don't enter the kindergarten, just from the outside, you can see the high-end atmosphere of this little fairy kindergarten.
Therefore, after the completion of the little fairy kindergarten, although it has not yet been officially listed, it has attracted the attention of many parents in the vicinity, especially the parents who have school-age children, and they have inquired about the situation of this little fairy kindergarten.
Of course, parents who have the courage to inquire about the situation, the family conditions are very good, after all, such a high-end atmosphere and high-grade kindergarten, even if you think about it with your butt, the fee is definitely not low.
And Guan Mengyao is one of the parents.
Guan Mengyao graduated from Gui Provincial University and is now a teacher at a key high school in the provincial capital.
My husband graduated from Khai Medical University and is now an attending physician at the medical university.
Her parents-in-law are even more remarkable, they are both professors in the university, and it can be said that the family has a high degree of education.
It is precisely because the whole family is either a college student or a college student mentor that their family really attaches more importance to the education of the next generation than many families.
As an educator, she and her parents-in-law can correctly understand the phrase "let children win at the starting line".
Now, her daughter Su Beibei is two years old, and when school starts in September, the age of two and a half years is just right.
Therefore, during this time, as soon as Guan Mengyao was free, she began to look for a kindergarten for her daughter, and this newly built little fairy kindergarten naturally became one of her targets.
