Chapter 424: Competition in the capital
Bai Shao paused for a few seconds, and said quietly: "Alas, we are all friends anyway, and I am not afraid of your jokes, the owner of that restaurant has chased the same girl with me before, but I successfully chased it, and he has always held a grudge against me and targeted me in everything." ”
Liu Yan and Liu Fei laughed dumbly, it turns out that there is a story in this, Liu Fei smiled: "Bai Shao, this is considered a love scene, is the mall frustrated?"
Bai Shao shook his head: "I was also impulsive at that time, in fact, I didn't like that girl much, I just wanted to compete with him, which can be regarded as the result of my competitive character." Later, he held a grudge and gave me such a hand. ”
Liu Yan didn't speak for a long time, leaning on the back of the sofa, squinting his eyes, pondering Bai Shao's situation.
Bai Shao saw that he didn't speak, so he asked: "Mr. Liu, you have also seen with your own eyes, the business of my restaurant is really not good, and I don't have the heart to fight with him, so I will simply give it to you, whether you want to rent or buy." ”
Liu Yan stared at Bai Shao's eyes and asked, "Why don't you compete with him anymore?" You don't owe him anything, chasing girls is originally wishful thinking, and you didn't use despicable means, everyone just relies on their own abilities." ”
Bai Shao listened to Liu Yan's words, did not answer immediately, just nodded slightly, he admired Liu Yan even more in his heart, if he was someone else, there was such a good thing, he would like to take over as soon as possible and run a restaurant again, just by virtue of this location, this area, it is definitely a big advantage.
But Liu Yan didn't do that, but thought about Bai Shao and persuaded him from his point of view, hoping that he would cheer up.
"But I don't want to be like him, my principle is to try to make myself stronger, and as for those little tricks, I don't bother to do them. Bai Shao expressed his attitude.
Although Liu Yan and Bai Shaogang have known each other for a few hours, judging from his words, deeds and bearing, he found that this person still has a sense of arrogance, maybe the ancestor is indeed a nobleman, he is by no means the kind of person who will do anything for a certain purpose, such as the chasing girl he just said, it is estimated that the girl really likes him, and it happens that the person likes girls, so he thinks that Bai Shao is robbing women with him, and there is a misunderstanding.
"Bai Shao, I did think of an idea, you don't have to give me the store, I don't know what you think?" Liu Yan asked with a smile.
"Mr. Liu, tell me about it!" Bai Shao's impression of Liu Yan is also very good, at first he was just worshipping because of Liu Yan's kung fu, but now he sees that Liu Yan did not take advantage of others and use his reputation to take advantage of him, just by virtue of this, Liu Yan is a person who is truly worthy of worship!
"Since his cuisine imitates yours, then you might as well change the style of the dishes, he has no way to compete with you, you are not the same style, the guests will naturally have their own advantages, and there will be no competition. Liu Yan spread his hands and said with a smile.
"You mean, my store is kept, that is, the chefs have been replaced?" Bai Shao was stunned.
"That's right, the chefs have been changed, the menu has been changed, and it has been replaced with medicinal food!" Liu Yan said slowly.
Liu Fei listened to it and immediately understood what Liu Yan meant, and she echoed: "Yes, Bai Shao, our medicinal diet has a secret recipe, even if he wants to compete with you, he can't make the same medicinal diet as us!"
Bai Shao's eyes lit up, he stood up, and asked excitedly, "Is it really possible?" Then, how should we cooperate?"
Liu Yan said: "This is easy to do, we only charge a cost price, the important thing is to help you snatch the guests back!"
Bai Shao shook his head and said, "No, the cost price is not good, we have to divide it in half at least." I can't take advantage of you. ”
Liu Yan said with a smile: "How can this be regarded as taking advantage? In the long run, after we cooperate, your store will become popular, then our medicinal diet will also be famous, and when the time comes, I will open a branch again, won't it save a lot of trouble?"
Bai Shao scratched his head and said: "That's the way it is, but I can't just take your medicinal diet and use it, so let's divide the profits of this store into six or four, how about it?
Liu Yan saw that Bai Shao was indeed very righteous, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then I might as well be respectful." Let's officially cooperate!"
Liu Yan said, stretched out his hand, and shook hands with Bai Shao, Liu Fei watched from the side, and was also very pleased, she felt that this trip was not in vain, and this cooperation was promoted.
Bai Shao personally brewed two cups of tea for Liu Yan and Liu Fei, brought them over, and asked, "Mr. Liu, I don't understand something, I want to ask for advice." ”
"Say, why are you so polite?" Liu Yan said with a smile.
"Mr. Liu, you can do something in the capital through your fame, for example, if you let out the wind and say that you want to open a branch in the capital, there must be many people who will help you, why are you still so low-key, just entrusting Miss Liu Fei to talk about the branch?" Bai Shao said the doubts in his heart.
Liu Yan put away his smile and replied slowly: "Let's be honest with you, I don't value this reputation, I participated in the competition this time, just to prevent the Japanese people from taking away the trophy." So I'm not going to use my reputation to my advantage. ”
Bai Shao gave a thumbs up and praised: "Mr. Liu, you deserve to be my idol, it's really a high-spirited festival!"
Liu Yan waved his hand: "Bai Shao, don't be so polite to me all the time, everyone is a friend." But I'm still going to do something with my fame. ”
Bai Shao and Liu Fei were stunned, not knowing what Liu Yan meant.
Liu Yan continued: "I will not use my reputation to make profits for myself, but I will use this champion status to do something for the cultivation of talents." There is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger here in the capital, and the influence is also great, so I decided to set up a martial arts association here to develop the martial arts career in China. ”
Hearing Liu Yan say this, Bai Shao did not immediately express his support as he did just now, but showed a sad face and said slowly: "Mr. Liu, although you are now in the limelight and have become the idol of many people, but just like you said just now, this is the root of the imperial city, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, there are more than a dozen martial arts associations alone, and the forces behind them are intertwined, and they all have a good background, and you will offend people if you rashly establish a martial arts association." ”
Liu Yan also thought of this, he was mentally prepared, and replied: "The fundamental reason for offending people is nothing more than taking advantage of conflicts, but I don't want to make money from this, on the contrary, I will invest a lot of money here, so will they still hate me?"
Bai Shao grew up in the capital and knew the environment here very well, he slowly explained: "Even if you are not in it for money, but with your current appeal, you can easily recruit many students, and if you rob people away, it is equivalent to robbing the money, will they do it?"
Liu Yan nodded slightly: "I didn't think about it so much, alas, it doesn't seem to be easy, but what I decide, I will definitely do, no matter how many difficulties there are in front of me!"
Bai Shao once again cast an admiring look at Liu Yan, nodded and said, "Okay, I will fully support you, Mr. Liu, you can rest assured and do it boldly!"
Liu Fei shook his head: "You men, you know that you are so ambitious, so let's do what is in front of you." I think the cooperation between medicinal diets is the most important thing right now. ”
"Yes, yes, Manager Liu is right, let's talk about the cooperation of the restaurant first!" Liu Yan knew that Liu Fei liked to do things with one board and one eye, and did not like one left punch and one right kick.
So the three of them talked in detail in the office for several hours and decided on the cooperation.
The cooperation plan includes: Bai Shaohui will remove most of the chefs in the current restaurant, Liu Yan will send people to recruit and train chefs to make medicinal meals, the ingredients will be provided by Liu Yan, the quality will be supervised by Liu Fei, and Bai Shao will be responsible for promoting in the capital and opening up the popularity.
In the end, the profits of the restaurant were divided into 64 percent, Bai Shao was 60 percent, and Liu Yan's rejuvenation medicinal restaurant was 40 percent.
After the negotiation, it was almost time for dinner, Liu Yan suggested that he wanted to try the food of Bai Shao's Yifu family banquet, because Liu Yan would not replace all the meals here with medicinal food, he had to decide which dishes to give up and which dishes to keep.
Bai Shao fully cooperated with Liu Yan, and he asked the chef to make a small portion of almost every special dish, bring it to the box, and give it to Liu Yan to taste.
Liu Yan rinsed his mouth with water, and then tasted every dish, of course, as a foreigner, he is not familiar with the taste of the locals, but there are many outsiders who come and go here in the capital, and the location of this restaurant is a prosperous place, so it is also important to cater to the tastes of outsiders.
After tasting them all, Liu Yan asked Bai Shao for a copy of the sales data of each dish, and when the two were combined, he gave a list, and most of the dishes were cut, leaving only a small part of the dishes.
Bai Shao followed Liu Yan's suggestion and asked the assistant to go down, and some cooks could be dismissed.
After the three of them finished dinner, Liu Yan and Liu Fei left Bai Shao's restaurant and returned to the hotel.
The two hadn't been alone together for many days, and although Liu Fei had a cold appearance, Liu Yan knew how much she missed herself. As soon as he arrived at the hotel, Liu Yan hugged Liu Fei into the bathroom, the two took a sweet mandarin duck bath, fought in the bathroom, and then came to the bedroom to score twice, and finally both of them lay on the bed panting.
"Liu Yan, do you really want to open a martial arts hall in the capital?" asked Liu Fei snuggled into Liu Yan's arms, her breath was still a little short.
"yes, don't you think it's okay?" Liu Yan's hands slowly roamed her smooth body.
"You can do anything, but you have so many things to do now, how can you have the energy to open a martial arts hall? When the time comes, will you be able to deal with the encirclement and suppression of all forces in the capital?"
Liu Yan knows Liu Fei's character, she is very stable in her work, and never does things that she is not sure of, the advantage of this character is that she and others are very at ease, and she will never capsize. But the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, they can't make big achievements, and they don't have outstanding performance, which may also be a common problem for women.
"Fei Fei, don't worry, I didn't think this on impulse, after this competition, Chairman Wang of the organizing committee and Director Lu of the Sports Bureau have talked to me separately, and they support me to do this, think about it, with the support of the country, will I fail?"
