Chapter 328: Investment?

Chen Mu's hometown is in a small remote fishing village in the coastal area of China.

When he was 16 years old, he and a few friends in the village were introduced to the United States and started working as a black worker.

During these years, he worked as a waiter, learned to repair cars, did odd jobs, sold newspapers, and in general, he did all the hard work and tiring work.

And because it is a black worker, sometimes when I meet a bad-hearted boss, I can't even get my salary in the end.

If you want to let him go to theory, what is easy to talk is a lot of foolishness, and if you are not good at talking, just find a few strong people and beat him up.

This kind of life didn't really end until he was twenty years old.

It was a time when he was not paid, and after being cleaned up again, he dragged his sick body to another restaurant to apply for a job.

The owner of this restaurant, after learning what happened to him, not only accepted him, but also introduced the chef of the restaurant at that time, Joseph. Give him an acquaintance.

At that time, Joseph was just a little chef, and with the help of the boss, he agreed to accept Chen Mu as an apprentice.

In this way, for more than ten years, Chen Mu has been closely following Joseph, going higher and higher, until he became a three-star Michelin chef after Joseph.

"Hehe, Mr. Qin, it makes you laugh, it's just that I haven't drunk the single bush from my hometown for many years. ”

Stroking the small can of phoenix bushes, the expression on Chen Mu's face was a little lonely, and there was also a sense of melancholy and deep longing in his tone.

In the United States, although you can also buy tea, it is some precious varieties, such as West Lake Longjing and the like.

For example, he has never seen such a local tea as a single bush for so many years.

At this time, the memories that were suppressed in the depths of my mind couldn't help but gush out.

"I didn't expect you, Brother Chen, to be so bitter back then. ”

Qin Xu felt that his mouth was a little dry, and even his title had changed unconsciously.

For the real man in front of him, who relied on his own hands and worked hard step by step, he admired it from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes, Chen was very bitter back then, when I was young, he followed Joseph. ”

Mo Becca on the side, although it was not the first time she knew about Chen Mu, her eyes were still a little red, and she almost wanted to cry.

Qin Xu, who was harmed, hurriedly cleaned up his mood and comforted her again.

"Brother Qin, then I will not be polite to make a big deal, in fact, it is nothing, I am also lucky, I met Mobeka's father, otherwise, what the consequences are, it is really not necessarily. ”

Shaking his head, Chen Mu looked at Mo Becca next to him, his eyes full of gratitude.

Because, he remembered a few of his fellow villagers, after they came to the United States, they were separated, and until now, there is no news.

If it weren't for my luck, I guess I wouldn't have been gone a long time ago.

"Yes, luck is also a very important factor. ”

Recalling everything he had got, Qin Xu had to admit that sometimes, luck was really important, even more than hard work and sweat.

"Come, Brother Chen, try the tea I made. ”

As he spoke, Qin Xu picked up a cup of hot kung fu tea and handed it to Chen Mu opposite. I also picked up a glass and took a sip gently.

Taking the small cup of hot kung fu tea handed over by Qin Xu, Chen Mu just blew it gently, then sniffed the fragrance of tea in the air, and muttered to himself with an intoxicated face:

"Yes, that's the taste, after so many years, it still hasn't changed. ”

As he spoke, he took another deep breath, and then he didn't care that the tea was still steaming, and drank it all in one go.

Qin Xu looked at Chen Mu, who was squinting at the other side, with a satisfied but still a little unfinished, and couldn't help but smile.

After taking the cup and pouring him another glass, he continued to ask:

"Brother Chen, I don't know what is the matter with coming here today? If there is something, but it doesn't matter, I will not postpone if I can help. ”

"In this way, then I'll say it bluntly, Brother Qin, the purpose of my coming today is for MeritageResturant. ”

"MeritageResturant? What's wrong with it? Isn't it good?"

Facing Qin Xu's puzzled eyes, Chen Mu smiled lightly, temporarily put aside his nostalgia for his hometown, and continued:

"As Brother Qin said, MeritageResturant is one of only three three-Michelin-starred restaurants in Boston, so I don't need to say much about its value.

What's more, this restaurant is also located in Boston's backbay, where land is at a premium.

And I, although I am the head chef there, but I am not the boss, the owner there is an investment firm on Wall Street.

However, I recently heard that it seems that the company's decision-making mistakes caused a large area of losses. So, the owner of the company decided to transfer the restaurant for cash. ”

"Oh, Brother Chen means that he wants to take over?"

Qin Xu, who was listening on the other side, couldn't help but look at Chen Mu with some surprise.

Even if Qin Xu doesn't understand these things, he knows the value of a three-star Michelin restaurant.

What's more, Chen Mu is just a chef who has climbed up from the bottom, and he actually wants to take over it? Is this possible?

"Yes, Brother Qin, I'll tell you the truth, I want to take over, and having a restaurant of my own has always been my dream. ”

Looking at Qin Xu's surprised eyes, Chen Mu first nodded affirmatively, and then continued with a wry smile:

"But I also know my own situation, although I have saved some money over the years, but that money is really a drop in the bucket for taking over this restaurant. ”

"And what do you mean?"

Qin Xu seemed to understand what he meant, but he was a little uncertain.

"I originally wanted Joseph to introduce me to a few big bosses or venture capital firms to buy shares, after all, he has more experience and connections than me. ”

Chen Mu looked at Mo Becca on the side with some embarrassment, obviously feeling a little embarrassed to say this in front of her.

But he was only a little embarrassed, and over the years, he has also become very calm.

Well, that is, the skin is thick enough.

"It so happened that while we were talking, you called, and Joseph asked me to come to you and give it a try. ”

After listening to this, Qin Xu was a little speechless for a moment, okay? It seems that Joseph, this old guy, must know something.

Turning her head to look at Mo Becca next to her, this girl didn't know if she was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, she still looked unaware, which couldn't help but make Qin Xu sigh deeply.

"That's it, Brother Chen, tell me about your plan, I'm really interested in this. ”

Qin Xu picked up the teacup again and took a sip gently, making an interested look, in fact, in his heart, he had already scolded Joseph, the old fox.

Although at present, it seems that investing in this restaurant is definitely a sure profit, and it is the kind that has a very good return.

However, although he did not know the value of a three-Michelin-starred restaurant, he also had a rough estimate in his heart.

This also means that almost all of the cash in his hand has to be invested.

For Qin Xu, who has just turned from a small otaku to a rich and handsome person, there is nothing real as a large string of numbers in the bank card.

Even when he has nothing to do, he can't help but turn on the computer and check his balance on the Internet.
