Chapter 28: Return to Shining Star City
In the blink of an eye, three years later. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Gujia Hotel, in the middle of a hot kitchen.
Wearing a white chef's uniform, looking at the two talented apprentices, who were cooking dishes, standing next to him with his hands crossed, staring at Zhou Ming, who was moving in their hands, although he did not speak with a straight face, the majesty and authority of the chef still made the two apprentices act meticulously and strictly follow the norms that the master usually teaches.
After a while, two plates of fried kung pao chicken were placed in front of Zhou Ming.
"Master, please use it!"
The two apprentices, Ge Peng and Sun Yingcai, half-bowed and said.
Zhou Ming nodded slightly, picked up a pair of chopsticks, two plates of kung pao chicken that assessed the apprentice's cooking level, picked up a mouthful each, put it in his mouth and tasted it slowly.
After a while, in the expectant and apprehensive eyes of the two apprentices, Zhou Ming spoke: "Ge Peng, 65 points, Sun Yingcai, 70 points." ”
Hearing this, Ge Peng's expression darkened, and he lost to Sun Yingcai again, restraining the jealousy in his heart, he asked eagerly: "Master, what else needs to be improved in my dish?"
Zhou Ming commented on the heat, stir-frying action, seasoning timing and so on, and pointed out the problem, and the apprentice Ge Peng nodded again and again, saying that he remembered it and would work hard to improve it in the future and make a dish that satisfied the master.
This attitude made Zhou Ming nod and encouraged him: "Keep working hard, you still have room for improvement." There are also talents, you also have a lot of problems with your dishes, and they are far from satisfying me, you have studied with me early, and your talent is higher than Ge Peng, you should not only get 70 points for the dishes you cook, and it is far from the time when you are complacent, if you continue like this, your junior brother will surpass you sooner or later......"
Sun Yingcai, who got 70 points from the master for the first time, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and in the face of this reprimand, while being said to be blind, he also hurriedly lowered his head and said: "I know the master!"
Looking at the two apprentices in front of him who were not much different in age from himself, but in more than two years of training, the two apprentices who had already been tamed by himself, and then through the two dishes they made, both of which were more than 60 points, Zhou Ming knew that the small Baowan Town could no longer keep him, and the broader stage of the big city was beckoning to him.
And his recent series of arrangements, including stepping up the training of two apprentices, are also fully preparing for returning to Shining Star City.
In the past three years, he has been like a machine, cooking countless dishes, and he has stood at the peak of this world in his cooking skills.
This is not narcissistic boasting, but growth and progress through one step at a time, in down-to-earth study, in an average of 12 hours of work a day, and in a busy year with no more than five days off...... There is no shortcut, only the same four words as most successful people believe in: hard work, perseverance!
Therefore, with his efforts, in the past three years, Baowan Town, a small town, has undergone tremendous changes.
Foodies have appeared, and foodies who have gained a great sense of happiness from food no longer pay attention to the fact that the electronic consumption card obviously exceeds the prescribed food expenditure, and the number of obese people has increased, even so much that some outsiders call Baowan Town "fat town" The high-end customer base has grown, and because there are too many people, the number of private rooms is not enough, they can only apply for VIP membership cards, and they have to endure the reservation queuing system that can only be booked once in five days, so some high-end customers who are fed up with queuing and waiting are angry, and they have asked Gujia Hotel to stop doing business for low-end customers, specializing in high-end, and only serving them.
As for the price, the rich will care about the price?
Rich people only care about whether it is delicious or not, as long as it is delicious, it is a dish with hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of credits, and the local tyrants do not blink when they order it, and even only order expensive dishes.
For example, at the end of last year, the Gujia Hotel grandly launched to high-end customers, the most expensive "Invincible Buddha Jumping over the Wall", 18888 credits, outrageously expensive, as a result, after tasting the taste of the Buddha jumping over the wall, the soul has flown away Some of the distinguished guests, every time they come to the Gujia Hotel, the must-order item is the Buddha jumping over the wall, and even in order to be able to eat this dish without queuing, even 10 money a diamond membership card, all done without blinking, giving people the feeling that this guy is crazy.
And such crazy diamond members, Gujia Hotel, there are a total of 17.
As for ordinary credits, how much money has been earned in three years, Zhou Ming, who only cares about cooking all day long, is not particularly clear, but 20 million credits are definitely there.
Plus the 220 coins in his system's storage space (170 coins are for the membership fee of the Diamond membership card, 30 coins are the money he earned for a wealthy old man who is about to pass away as a personal chef, and 20 coins are leftover after miscellaneous income and expenses...... With so much money, it has long exceeded the standard of original accumulation, and it is enough for Zhou Ming to return to Yaoxing City, buy a piece of land, build a luxury five-star hotel, and do a great job.
And the land that covers an area of 5 acres and needs 150 money to buy, Zhou Ming is also optimistic, located at the junction of the first and second rings in the city center, with dense flow of people, convenient transportation and strong business atmosphere, he plans to buy this piece of land, and then invest 20 million credits to build a ten-story hotel, which can accommodate up to 1,000 people at the same time, and recruit a large number of kitchen workers, waiters, chefs, and chef apprentices......
After Zhou Ming's huge plan was placed in front of the Gu family, the Gu family, who had already been emotionally moved by the great changes that had taken place in the Gu Family Hotel in the past few years, were even more stunned and dumbfounded at this time.
"Isn't it good to stay in the town, why do you want to go to the city to develop?" Gu Dawei asked very incomprehensibly, this is already very good, why bother?
"The market in the city is a hundred times that of Baowan Town, where there is a broader market and a larger number of customers. ”
"Xiaoqiang, it's almost enough, the money can't be earned, you have worked so hard, you have to cook for millions of people, your body will collapse sooner or later!" Zhang Peizhen is not worried that he will not succeed, she is worried that this workaholic will be dragged down.
"No, when I get to the city, the general guests will be entertained by apprentices and other chefs, I am only responsible for the high-end customers, the workload will be less than now, I know how to take care of my body......"
"However, the scale of your investment is too big, buying five acres of land and building a ten-story hotel is equivalent to spending all the money the hotel has earned in the past few years, Xiaoqiang, you can't take out all the Gujia hotels in order to go to the city for development, this hotel is not yours alone......"
Gu Dawei opened the skylight and said the most realistic problem, which means that the Gu family does not want to take out so much money to open a new store for him.
Gu Naihui on the side also said in a low voice: "Xiaoqiang, we all know that you have made a lot of contributions over the years, so all the money is in your hands, but my parents are also old, and they can't do it slowly, if you leave, all the money will be taken away, Gujia Hotel, how can you continue to operate." ”
"You can go to the city with me, there are a lot of people in need of the store, you all go and help, as for this restaurant in the town, you can sell it or let the apprentice stay here. ”
"No way!"
Gu Dawei's face became serious, and Tie Qing said: "This restaurant must not be sold, it is the hard work of five generations of my Gu family, even if I die, I will not sell this restaurant!"
He said directly to Zhou Mingming: "Young man, I admit that you have made a lot of contributions in the Gu Family Hotel, but it has not yet reached the extent that I let the Gu family follow your footsteps, in the Gu family, we are the master, you are the guest, don't you want to turn us into your guests, you want to go to the city, you go alone!"
Hearing these tough words, Zhou Ming suddenly realized that the Gu family was unwilling to show credit points and did not support him to start a business, because they were afraid that he would be anti-customer-oriented, and change from the role of the boss and master to his employees and subordinates...... It seems that on the issue of interests, it is still very important to determine the master-slave relationship.
It is better to sign an equity agreement, each occupy a certain amount of shares, and determine the proportion of interest distribution, and the Gu family will support themselves.
How much stake is it good to give up?30%?
Just when Zhou Ming was analyzing the distribution ratio in his mind, Zhang Peizhen on the side spoke up and said to her husband: "Dawei, Xiaoqiang and we are a family, why are you talking so much...... Xiaoqiang, come with me, I'll discuss one thing with you. ”
Zhang Peizhen stood up, whispered in Zhou Ming's ear, a little mysterious, pulled him to a place on the second floor where no one was, looked solemn and sincere, and had a good chat with him.
"Xiaoqiang, it's not that our Gu family doesn't support you, we actually support you to open a store in the city, but we don't worry, who dares to hand over so much money to an outsider...... Xiaoqiang, we really want to treat you as our own family, don't you like my Xiaohui at all? A few years have passed, why are you still blaming her in your heart? Xiaoqiang, for you, Xiaohui has changed a lot, sometimes I feel that I can't recognize her, she really likes you, why can't you accept her? As long as you agree to accept her, become a family with us, you go to the city to open a store, the whole family of the Gu family supports you, how much you want, we will take out as much as you want!"
Hearing Zhang Peizhen's words, Zhou Ming's eyes widened.
This shouldn't be a beauty ploy, to a certain extent, a marriage plan to strengthen the bond of cooperation.
His brain began to spin.
Do you want to nod?
Nodding, more than 20 million credit points will be in hand, and there is no need to worry about the distribution of shares, because this store is the common property of the two people, as long as there is no breakup, there will be no division.
If you don't nod, it's a little troublesome, either find someone to partner with, take out part of the shares, and solve the financial problem, or spend another two to three years to explode the liver and complete the accumulation of 20 million credits.
Faced with this not the most important, but also crucial multiple-choice question in life, how should he choose?
