Chapter 589: Catering Industry
As soon as he walked into this guest house, Chen Dahe met another acquaintance.
"Yo, isn't this Ah He," Aunt Cai just walked to the reception hall, and as soon as she saw Chen Dahe, she immediately stepped forward in surprise and took his hand, "Why don't you come to the deep formation and don't say it in advance, Auntie is going to pick you up." ”
Chen Dahe held Aunt Cai's hand and smiled, "Aunt Cai, I just came from Xiangjiang, and I thought that I would go to you when I settled down, but I didn't expect to meet you here by such a coincidence." ”
"This is not a coincidence," Cai Zhiming said with a smile, "This is the original Luohu Guest House moved over, Aunt Cai also works here, and now she is the reception director here. ”
"Yes," Chen Dahe laughed, "That's just right, I can taste Aunt Cai's craftsmanship again, I've always been hungry for the taste of fried rice noodles you made, and I've eaten a lot of restaurants in Guangzhou, and none of them can compare to your craftsmanship." ”
"Okay, good," Aunt Cai patted the back of Chen Dahe's hand with a smile, "No problem, just say what you want to eat, Aunt Cai will make it for you." ”
Then he pointed to a large door on the side of the hall and said, "The conditions here are much better than the original, do you see, the first floor is the restaurant, and there is a special kitchen and chef, you can eat whatever you want at any time, but since you are here, wait for Aunt Cai to cook and cook a good meal for you." ”
Chen Dahe took Aunt Cai's hand and smiled, "Then thank you." ”
"Thank you, thank you," Aunt Cai deliberately glanced at him, "After the deep formation, I will treat this place as my home, whatever you want, don't be polite." ”
"Okay," Chen Dahe could only nod repeatedly.
"Sister Cai," Cai Zhiming said on the side, "They haven't put down their luggage yet, so let's settle down first." ”
"Yes, yes," Aunt Cai patted her forehead, "Look at me as an old fool, come, Ah He, let's go to the second floor, this floor is the best, not high or low, and the environment is the best." ”
As he spoke, he pulled Chen Dahe to the stairs.
Chen Dahe had no choice but to turn around and smile at Oliver, motioning for her to follow.
Oliver smiled and pursed his lips, and immediately followed, followed by Dong Jianlei and the three of them with suitcases.
The environment here is indeed much better than the original guest house, not only has a separate bathroom, but also installed an air conditioner that is extremely rare in the mainland, look at the brand on the air conditioner, it is obviously imported from the Xiangjiang side.
Another difference from the original guest house is that the room types here are mainly double standard rooms and single suites, unlike the original ones that are basically triple or even five-person rooms, which are no different from Chase shops.
Now it is different from when I was in Xiangjiang, there is an additional driver, and he will be responsible for the travel of Chen Dahe and his party during the period in Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
Under Aunt Cai's arrangement, a group of six people opened four rooms, Ma Jiatong and Zeng Jingshu shared a room, Dong Jianlei and the driver lived in a double room, and Chen Dahe and Oliver each lived in a single suite.
It is also that there are no guests to live now, coupled with Chen Dahe's face, there is such preferential treatment, otherwise he can only live in a standard room, of course, Oliver can have preferential treatment as a foreign guest.
Chen Dahe did not introduce Oliver to Aunt Cai and Cai Zhiming as Os's daughter, since Oliver wants to investigate here, then look at it from a more sideline perspective, and there is no need to mix too many other factors.
After putting down their luggage, a few people simply took a break, enjoyed a lunch cooked by Aunt Cai herself, and waited for Cai Zhiming to come over with the leaders of China Merchants in the reception room on the first floor.
"Chen," Oliver sat on the sofa, holding a cup of coffee that is relatively rare in the mainland, blowing a cool air conditioner, looking at Chen Dahe and said, "Oss is right, Aunt Cai's cooking skills are indeed very good, can you find a chef with the same cooking skills as hers?"
Chen Dahe looked at her and smiled, "What, you want to open a Chinese restaurant in the United States?"
"Why not?" Oliver raised his eyebrows, "I think this kind of food must be very marketable in the United States, at least much better than those current Chinese restaurants in the United States, if we can open a professional Chinese restaurant, we will definitely be able to make money." ”
This is Oliver's first investment project proposed to Chen Dahe, since he became Chen Dahe's financial adviser last year, he has always carried out Chen Dahe's investment orders, and he has never launched a project, even if it is only intentional, it is not that she is unwilling to recommend, it is really difficult to encounter such a project, and in the United States, once there is a project with considerable prospects, it will soon be carved up by those investors like a shark who smells fishy, and it is basically impossible for her turn, although there are some projects in the family that are obtained through special channels, and it is impossible for her to help outsiders make money, so it seems that she is somewhat useless as a financial advisor.
After a few days of her stay in Xiangjiang, she was deeply impressed by the authentic Chinese food, and just tasted Aunt Cai's craftsmanship, remembering that Oss once jokingly mentioned to her that when she lived in Shenzhen, there was an aunt who cooked delicious food, and even wanted to open an authentic Chinese restaurant in the United States because of the food from Chinese mainland. So Oliver suddenly had this idea, and then he asked Chen Dahe, after all, it is difficult to find a chef who can make authentic Chinese food in the United States, and this can only be solved by Chen Dahe, but in any case, this project is always proposed by her.
But Chen Dahe didn't answer directly, but looked at her with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Oliver, do you think this kind of food really meets the appetite of Americans?"
"Of course," Oliver said without hesitation, "I've eaten food all over the world, and my favorite food besides Italian food is Chinese food, and if I like it, why wouldn't other Americans like it?"
Chen Dahe crossed Erlang's legs, continued to look at her and asked, "Then let me ask you in a different way, what is the taste of traditional American food in your impression? What is the American food culture? What is the Chinese food culture? What is the difference between the two, and how should they be integrated with each other and promoted to each other?"
"Huh?" Oliver was dumbfounded by the question, and stammered for a long time before he said with straight eyes, "Why don't you just open a restaurant, it's delicious, why do you talk so much?" ”
Chen Dahe shrugged, "This is not like the words of a top business student at Boston University, Oliver, I fully support your idea, and I can even start looking for a suitable chef right away, but before starting this project, I hope you can answer my question, of course, not now, you can figure it out when you want, and answer it when you want." ”
At this time, Oliver also calmed down, thinking thoughtfully about Chen Dahe's words, and finally nodded after a long time, "It's my fault, business investment can't rely on subjective will alone, don't worry, I will ask someone to do the most professional investigation and analysis." ”
Finally, a wry smile appeared on his face, "I didn't expect my first suggestion to come out with such a big basket, is this considered a loss in the first battle!"
"Of course not," Chen Dahe looked at her with a smile, "in fact, this is a very good suggestion, catering has always been a long-standing industry, and we can also think more broadly, in addition to opening Chinese restaurants in the United States, we can also open Western restaurants in China." ”
