“…… The Sino-US joint venture in the fast food industry not only gave the Chinese people a taste of American-style grilled chicken, but also promoted the friendship and cooperation between China and the United States. I am very satisfied with the current state of cooperation between China and the United States in the economic field......"

The ambassador's speeches are always full of officialdom, so Gu Biao can't expect more.

Because Winston Lord said the same thing when the news broadcast in the previous world, now it is nothing more than a minor tweaking of the suffix.

But fortunately, he spoke English, so the onlookers couldn't understand it. They only knew that a big American figure was smiling on his face on the stage, so they secretly applauded, and their hearts were surging.

Although there was an interpreter at the scene, who was sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was prepared for the follow-up press conference behind closed doors, and it was not responsible for interpreting it for the melon-eating masses at the scene. And the wording that came out of the translation is even more stable, and the slightly playful and relaxed American style is lost.

Therefore, strictly speaking, Winston Lord's words are really expressed in Chinese, which should not be so official. It's just that Gu Biao is used to the wording of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so when he made up his brain, he also followed the translation tone to become the kind of expression above.

After Winston Lord, there was Kissinger.

There are far more people who know him, after all, Kissinger has appeared too many times on the front page photo of Renren Daily, and hundreds of thousands of Qiantang people have seen him when they welcomed him more than ten years ago.

So when listening to him, the voice is naturally higher.

Because Kissinger has no baggage, the tone of his speech is more relaxed and targeted:

“…… The US Government believes that this is an important attempt to promote mutual understanding and increase mutual trust between the Chinese and American peoples. The U.S. side welcomes China's active understanding of the U.S. people's way of life and better dispelling misunderstandings accumulated in history......"

"Click, click", the reporters of Xinhua News Agency and "Renren Daily" flashed their spotlights, recording every moment.

The CCTV news crew kept the camera on, didn't care about the film, recorded the whole process, and there was nothing to operate.

The half-hour ceremony program finally ended, and the store opened on time and the flow of people rushed in.

The melon-eating masses are obviously still more interested in fried chicken.

……

Ms. Liu, dressed in overalls consisting of a red jacket and a white shirt, stood in front of the counter of Kentucky fried chicken, bewildered by the crowd that surged in after her colleagues opened the door.

Well, she has a more rustic name, but this is also a sense of age, and it was named like this in the late 60s and early 70s.

If she could have been born twenty years later and played zombie-like biochemical games, she would definitely have a sense of raccoon market.

The first customer in the queue was also a little overwhelmed, and was pushed by the flow of people and naturally walked to the counter, his eyes seemed to be looking for a menu.

Liu Jianhong hurriedly turned sideways and gave up half of his position, raised his hand and pointed to the price tag light box behind him with his palm: "What does this comrade want to eat, please look here, there are more people, please hurry up and order, I'm very sorry."

Her movements have just been trained for half a month, and the store manager and the "human resource management" from the United States have emphasized that when giving instructions to customers, they must not point with one finger, but use the palm of their hands to pose for instructions.

Her speed and tone of voice are also very humble, but her lines are really not that good.

However, this slightly nondescript service makes customers even more nervous.

No one has ever ordered it, who knows what to eat?

"Looking at this posture, there are so many people, and it's not good to ask what each thing is like one by one...... What should I do?" The customer in the first position was a middle-aged man in his early 30s with glasses, who should have seen the world, and Rao was still so nervous that his forehead sweated slightly.

It's a cold winter in February, and there's no heating in the house.

Who made this the first time in China to eat a chain of American fast food, and the waiters and customers were sweating nervously.

Fortunately, the manager of the store surnamed Zong was more clever at this time, and he immediately took out a few plates of samples, piled them on a temporary glass and iron rack on the counter, and then began to take out the speaker and shout.

This store manager Zong is the distant nephew of Zong Qinghou, general manager of Red Bull (China).

Because Kentucky was in a hurry to open the store, most of the management backbones and grassroots employees needed were generated or promoted from Red Bull (China), and they were not recruited from the society. Therefore, Manager Zong naturally did not avoid his relatives, and let a clever nephew who had not yet mixed with the management of Red Bull come here to be the store manager.

Store Manager Zong pointed to the iron frame covered with glass and shouted: "Comrades, I'm very sorry I didn't expect so many people today. In order to ensure a smooth supply and allow more people to eat faster, we will serve these meals today: original fried chicken set, hamburger set, and you can also order original fried chicken, a la carte burger, and a la carte drink, and the rest of the side dishes will not be provided a la carte.

The samples are all here, and the fried chicken set comes with lettuce salad worth six cents and chicken soup mashed potatoes worth eight cents more than a la carte fried chicken, as well as two small breads and a small cup of Gatorade, which is more than the total price of 1 yuan 5 a la carte. ”

The glasses man in the first place obviously belongs to the kind of face-loving but slightly shy out-of-town tourists, who just want to add a little life experience and make a joke. After listening to the introduction of Store Manager Zong, he breathed a sigh of relief and explained first:

"I ...... I actually had breakfast at Zhiweiguan, I wasn't too hungry, and the snacks in Qiantang were really good. I'm just here to taste it...... I want a piece of plain fried chicken and a glass of Gatorade. ”

"A piece of original chicken and a cup of Gatorade cost a total of two yuan. Charge you ten dollars and find eight dollars. Liu Jianhong, the waiter, nervously repeated it according to the training. Then he took in a big unity and found the other party for eight yuan.

This great unity will be included in the museum and marked in the future. Because that's what happened in the history of another plane.

Due to the limited technical background of the times, there is no cash register that automatically calculates change, and there is no equipment for making orders and receipts.

The waiter in charge of cooking next to him had already wrapped a big chicken leg in a paper bag, and made a small cup of Gatorade, without even taking the tray, and directly handed it to the 30-year-old middle-aged man with glasses, and made a gesture of please.

The middle-aged man paused for a moment, as if he was hesitating, "I only ordered such a thing, wouldn't it be too embarrassing to occupy a table and sit down to eat", but the waiter invited them, so let's sit.

He chose a low-key table in the corner, and was prepared to get up and give up his seat in case it was full and the other guests who had ordered a big meal had no place to sit.

In recent years, there have been no shameless money worshippers who have indiscriminately shouted "the customer is God", so the status quo of the service industry is like this. Consumers who spend less money basically can't be justified when they go to unfamiliar places.

"Just 1 piece of chicken thigh, 5 yuan for a glass of juice and 5 jiao, you can buy more than a pound of meat and braised pork by yourself, and the one imported from the United States is expensive. Eat and see what it tastes like, it's really fragrant, what kind of condiment is this? ”

The middle-aged man with glasses sighed as he sat down to eat.

The customer at the back of the queue had actually been staring at his interaction with the waitress, taking the opportunity to greedily look at the lightbox marked with the menu price, and planned in his heart that it would be much faster to order.

"I want a fried chicken set, and then I order a burger!" In second place was a fat man who looked unkempt in his clothes, but was actually a big shot.

"The fried chicken set is two pieces of fried chicken for four yuan, and the burger is two dollars for five dollars, and you will be charged for a total of six dollars and five dollars. Liu Jianhong recounted it, and then served the meal.

After watching the fat man use the price of nearly five catties of pork in the state-owned vegetable market outside and buy the local tyrant package, the people at the back of the queue gradually lost their psychological burden.

And after looking at these precedents, everyone has calculated the accounts:

Just two pieces of fried chicken cost three yuan, and the chicken soup mashed potatoes are said to cost eight cents, lettuce salad six cents, two cents a small bread, two small breads in the package, and a glass of Gatorade or Pepsi is five corners......

In this way, everything in the fried chicken package is worth 5 yuan 3, and the package only sells for 4 yuan, so buying a package is earning 1 yuan 3 for nothing!

Of course, the premise is that you can afford a three-pound pork budget and a four-dollar set meal.

If you just come to tighten your belt and grit your teeth to try it, the total budget is limited, then you should obediently order a piece of fried **.

"I want a burger set. ”

"Just a piece of fried chicken ......"

A dozen hours of fighting began.

The front desk received more than 1,000 people in one morning, and the number of people in line was increasing. At the 12 lunch rush, the back kitchen is already busy.

"Quick, hurry up and stock up!"

"Didn't you tell the city agriculture and animal husbandry company yesterday to prepare enough chickens to kill? ”

"There was a notice, they were prepared, and they were shipped over immediately. ”

Fortunately, Gu Biao knows the attraction of these things, so he takes care of the operator in advance and must make sufficient supply chain preparations and prepare for "at least 5,000 people today", so that there is no dilemma that the first store in Beijing in history is almost out of stock.

Moreover, the recipe of this KFC and the KFC in the same period of history has also changed slightly - historically, the one in Beijing was directly copied according to the American recipe, and the original fried chicken was only fried chicken breast at the beginning.

However, Mina's store in Qiantang counted fried chicken thighs and fried whole wings as fried chicken at the beginning, so that the supply chain pressure in the early days was much less, and there was no need to get too many chickens to take chicken breasts.

If you do this in the United States, you will be complained, because Americans think that chicken breast is the best and most expensive, and chicken legs and wings are more spicy than chicken, and if you take chicken wings on chicken breast, Americans think you are cutting corners.

But the Chinese have no such concerns at all, the Chinese have never thought that chicken breast is better than chicken legs and wings, and no one complains about you when you do this.

Obviously, Mina's store is slightly more down-to-earth than the same period in history, and it is also more in line with China's national conditions. This is a business strategy fine-tuning that can only be made by deeply understanding the spleen and stomach of Chinese.

"The evening rush hour passed, and the lunch rush was followed by the afternoon, receiving 2,000 people, and the first hour of the evening rush hour was more than 1,000 people. It's only 7 o'clock and there are already more than 4,000 customers, and it may be open today. ”

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Mina was in the box of the Qiantang restaurant opposite, holding the report that had just been delivered, and sighed to Gu Biao.

Gu Biao was not surprised at all, and seemed to have felt that it should be so.

"Don't look at that, let's see how it was filmed on the news series first. As he spoke, he walked over and turned on the TV in the box.

This box is already the best box in Qiantang Restaurant, but unfortunately the TV used is still a knob, and there is not even a remote control. I had to go over and tune the channel in person.

I don't know how to buy a Hanle or Sony TV with remote control, alas.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
