Chapter 323: Reporting
Now Oliver is trying to learn Chinese, but he has not seen any effect in a short time, and he almost didn't understand the conversation just now, when he saw that Chen Dahe's face was not very good, he couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Chen, is something wrong?"
"Ah, it's okay," Chen Dahe woke up and shook his head with a smile, "What else did you just say?"
No matter who that immortal is, it's useless to worry about it now, it's better to respond to all changes with the same, as long as you don't reveal any handle to others, you will be fine.
"Work matters,"
Seeing that Chen Dahe didn't want to say anything, Oliver didn't ask, and continued the topic just now, "Most of the things you arranged before returning to China have been completed, so don't I come to report to you." ”
Chen Dahe ignored her ridicule, sat up straight, and looked at her seriously.
Oliver pouted and continued, "The authorization for the publication of the TOEFL question bank has been negotiated, and the publication authorization of more than 100 literary and professional books has been purchased, and I have hired a professional translation company to carry out the text translation work, and the printing house will be ready to print when it is completed, but have you forgotten to set up a publishing company, these books also need a publication number to be published in China, right?"
"Well," Chen Dahe nodded, "This is easy to do, the book number is easy to get, but the newspaper number is not easy to get, just go back and add a publishing business to the business of the printing house." ”
Oliver just reminded him and immediately jumped to the next topic, "The chef team sent by Ma Jiatong has arrived in the United States last week, and I directly acquired a high-end restaurant on Fifth Avenue in New York, which can be changed into a Chinese restaurant with only a simple layout, and the opening date is set for September 30, which is the day before your National Day, this restaurant I am going to focus on high-end Chinese food, as for the fusion of catering culture you said, after research, I found that there is no need for this at all." ”
Chen Dahe looked at her with some surprise, "What do you say?"
He remembered that he didn't know where to read the information in his previous life, all Chinese restaurants in the United States have been revised, and the seasonings are all made with the sweet and sour tastes that Americans are accustomed to, and they almost treat Chinese food as Western food.
"It's easy," Oliver pouted, The United States is originally a country of immigrants, and the people of this country come from all over the world, so most of the world's mainstream diets can be found here, but except for Chinese food, almost all of the others maintain the original taste of the food, such as Mexican food, Indian food and Japanese food, which are very common in the United States, especially Japanese food, the sushi and sashimi in it are almost no different from the taste of Japan, and even these things Americans can accept without reservation, why can't they accept pure Chinese food. ”
Chen Dahe couldn't help frowning slightly, "Then why is only Chinese food localized?"
"It has to do with mentality," Oliver said meaningfully, "When the first generation of Chinese immigrants from the United States came, it happened that your motherland was in a period of war and had a very low status in the world, and after they arrived in the United States, in order to be able to do a good job, they changed the Chinese food, deliberately catering to the taste of the locals, and using a large number of local spices, which became the current American Chinese food, completely losing the original taste of Chinese food, and it is completely incomparable with orthodox Chinese food." ”
As if worried that Chen Dahe would have a misunderstanding, Oliver added, "These are all analysed by the professional investigation team I asked, and I just paraphrase them." ”
Chen Dahe smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I know, in fact, after listening to what you just said, I myself understand why something that is obviously very good has become like that, and if the country is not strong, the people will be uneasy." ”
In fact, what Oliver said is euphemistic enough, this is not only a matter of mentality, it is completely a lack of self-confidence that goes deep into the bones, due to the weakening of the country, even with the complete denial of everything in this country, and even the conclusion that eating bread must be stronger than eating rice, all this can only be gradually changed through the rise of the country.
Oliver looked at Chen Dahe's appearance and didn't know whether to continue.
"Whew," Chen Dahe let out a long breath, looked at her and smiled, "Your decision is right, just do it according to your idea, open an original Chinese restaurant, I think in thirty or forty years, there will be a large number of compatriots who have the courage to open authentic Chinese restaurants all over the United States." ”
Oliver blinked, "Probably unlikely. ”
Seeing that Chen Dahe seemed a little stunned, Oliver smiled slyly, "Because before that, our Dahe restaurant will firmly occupy the mid-to-high-end Chinese restaurant market in the United States." ”
"Dahe Restaurant?" Chen Dahe was a little confused, "The name of this restaurant is too earthy!"
"Is there one?" Oliver glared, "You wouldn't think it was the river in your name, would you?!"
At this time, Oliver read out a few lines of sentences in awkward Chinese, "What I am saying is that the great river that has lost its surging waters up and down the great river is also the great river in the island of Wangdahe, the great river in the resistance of the sad Shentu, and it is also the great river in the Yin of the Great River." ”
Chen Dahe looked at her dumbfounded, has this foreign friend's Chinese reached the eighth level? The three sentences he said just now seemed to have only heard the first sentence.
Seeing Chen Dahe's appearance, Oliver compared himself in his heart, he spent a week just to memorize these three sentences, and he really stopped him!
"Uh," Chen Dahe came back to his senses, "Dahe Restaurant is Dahe Restaurant, but you'd better make these three sentences into a calligraphy plaque and hang it in the dining hall, otherwise people in China will know about it, and they will think that I opened this restaurant." ”
Oliver smiled, "You drove it." ”
Chen Dahe pursed his lips and looked at her speechlessly.
"Alright, this matter is over," Oliver stopped provoking him, and continued, "The next thing is the TV station in Xiangjiang,"
Oliver suddenly puffed out his chest proudly as he spoke, "The contract has been signed, and now the only shareholder of Li's TV station is our Jones Media Co., Ltd. of the United States. ”
"Huh?" This news surprised Chen Dahe again, "Why did you eat all the shares so quickly?"
"The British company wants to sell, we want to buy it, that's it," Oliver shrugged, "and it's not expensive, it only cost less than fifteen million dollars, and the money is still borrowed from the bank, and the amazing performance of Jones & Co. has long made them want to move, and this time it will satisfy them a little." ”
"How can it be so cheap?" Chen Dahe really didn't understand at this time, he didn't pay attention to the bank loan, and the debt operation was normal, but the price was inevitably too cheap, even if Li's TV station was worthless, as one of the only two free TV stations in Xiangjiang, it shouldn't be worth so much!
"It's so cheap," Oliver looked at Chen Dahe's surprised look and smiled, "Okay, I won't tease you, this price is true, but we have set up another communication company, and opened 20% of the shares to the British Voice of Li, so they didn't raise the price much, in fact, this price is not low, after all, Li's TV station has been operating at a loss, and they also want to get rid of this trouble." ”
"Okay, it's a good thing to be able to buy it cheaply," Chen Dahe shook his head and smiled bitterly, this Oliver is really talking about business, and the introduction of a British-funded company into a communications company is a plan she has planned for a long time, and now it is equivalent to killing two birds with one stone, not only winning the TV station at a cheap price, but also solving the problem of the communication company's partners.
