The winter sun is unscrupulously sprinkled on the pastures and shines on people's bodies.

It's warm, and people can't help but want to take a big nap.

But under the porch of the villa, there were two people sitting next to each other, but none of them were sleepy.

Qin Xu picked up the teacup again, did not pay attention to Chen Mu beside him, but looked at the Appalachian Mountains in the distance.

There, there seemed to be a kind of magic that made Qin Xu not want to move away every time he cast his gaze.

Although he didn't pay attention to it, Qin Xu also knew that the current Chen Mu should be very entangled, right?

Because whether it is expanding or rebuilding the branch, it means that he has to pay again.

After all, this store is a joint venture, and Qin Xu, as a major shareholder, wants to invest money to build a new store, so as a small shareholder, he will either invest money or be diluted shares.

No other way.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Mu shook his head helplessly, and asked with a wry smile:

"Boss, what do you think?"

Qin Xu took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and looked directly into Chen Mu's eyes, and said with a smile:

"MeritageResturant, I'm going to expand, tear down all the offices on the second floor, and get you an office on the third floor. ”

"But in that case, we don't have enough chefs. Chen Mu frowned slightly.

"Move!"

Qin Xu waved his hand and said categorically:

"If there are not enough chefs, then recruit, if there are not enough waiters, recruit, as long as you can earn money back, then spend hard. ”

Chen Mu nodded helplessly, he was only a small shareholder, although he had full authority to manage the restaurant, but this kind of expansion was indeed beneficial to the restaurant, and he had no reason to refuse.

It's just that after this time, it is estimated that his shares do not know what to be diluted into.

Regarding Chen Mu's frustration, Qin Xu just smiled mysteriously, but didn't say anything, but continued to ask:

"Brother Chen, what do you think of MeritageResturant opening a branch?"

"Isn't it already expanding?"

Chen Mu raised his head in surprise, he originally thought that it would be enough to just expand the scale, but looking at it now, does this guy still want to continue to open branches?

Qin Xu smiled and nodded in affirmation of his thoughts.

"yes, open a branch. ”

Hearing this, Chen Mu hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head and said, "Qin, I don't agree with your idea. ”

"Oh? Why?"

Qin Xu didn't get angry, but looked over curiously, curious about his reason.

Chen Mu organized the language, and under Qin Xu's curious gaze, he said very sincerely:

"Qin, MeritageResturant is a three-Michelin-starred restaurant for a variety of reasons, not just because of its size or decoration. ”

"So what?" Qin Xu didn't understand very well, so he asked directly.

"So?"

Chen Mu was a little speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to describe it.

After thinking for a while, he gestured and explained:

"Qin, you can think of MeritageResturant as a brand, a very unique brand. Only in this location, run by these people, can a high-end restaurant be formed.

In other words, even if you open a branch and put the MeritageResturant brand out, it will make customers feel different, and Michelin will not agree to you doing this.

Let's put it this way, they give a three-star rating that only refers to such a store, not the MeritageResturant brand. ”

At this time, Qin Xu understood.

According to Chen Mu, if he opens a new store, he can't use the name MeritageResturant.

And this newly opened restaurant is no longer a Michelin-starred restaurant, just an ordinary Western restaurant.

At this moment, Qin Xu frowned a little.

"Why can't we use this name? Isn't the trademark of this name in our hands?"

Chen Mu shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly:

"It's not completely useless, as long as you get a foothold before the Michelin rating agency finds out, it's fine. ”

"What will happen if they find out?" Qin Xu asked with a hint of luck.

"Revoke the rating. ”

"Uh... ”

Qin Xu was speechless, although he admired Michelin's dedication very much, but when he encountered this kind of thing, he would definitely not be in a good mood.

Michelin rating, how many restaurants can't ask for it, is it really worth it to lose this rating for a few new restaurants?

Qin Xu shook his head, it was definitely not worth it.

His original idea was to quickly establish several Western restaurants with the brand of MeritageResturant and lay out the entire Boston business district.

But if you can't use this name now, the brand effect won't work at all.

Feeling a little irritable, Qin Xu quickly took a deep breath and took another sip of hot tea, which calmed down his somewhat restless emotions.

"Is there no solution? Or can I just re-establish the brand and work my way up?"

Chen Mu nodded and shook his head again.

"What do you mean by that?"

Qin Xu looked at this guy with some annoyance, he lost his appetite at this time, and he really wanted to go over and beat him directly.

In Qin Xu's eyes that wanted to kill, Chen Mu was not in a hurry, Shi Shiran took a sip of tea, and then said with a smile:

"Boss, you can buy ah, buy a few more Michelin restaurants, and then set up a unified restaurant group, and the newly built restaurants in the future can directly play the banner of this group. ”

Qin Xu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he almost couldn't help but applaud directly.

It has to be said that this method is the most straightforward and effective.

Just like luxury brands such as Hermes, many luxury brands are actually one company, but they are divided into high, medium and low grades.

But as long as people see things from the same company as these luxury brands, they will naturally think that their quality is similar.

At that time, as long as the name of the group is hung on the name of the restaurant, I believe the effect will definitely be good.

"Brother Chen, your suggestion is really good. ”

Qin Xu happily looked at Chen Mu beside him, and it was time to give him a reassuring pill.

Without waiting for him to say anything more, Qin Xu suddenly stood up and stretched out his right hand towards Chen Mu.

"Brother Chen, I now solemnly invite you to serve as the general manager of the soon-to-be-established Daqin Catering Group, I don't know if you are interested?"

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, then stood up in some astonishment, pointing at himself,

"I, the general manager of the group?"

Qin Xu nodded and said with a smile: "I said that I am the general manager of the group, but so far, it is just a MeritageResturant, and I hope you don't dislike it." ”

"Don't dislike, don't dislike. Chen Mu waved his hand again and again.

He still can't react a little.

I'm going to be promoted?

This becomes the general manager of the group company?
