Bian Xuedao said with a smile: "I would like to hear it in detail." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Zhu Dezhen crossed her arms and said: "First of all, Silicon Valley is a gathering place for technology companies and a mecca for global entrepreneurship, and a large number of elites from all over the world flock here every year to open companies, and whether it is business incubation or office expansion, space and space are needed ......

Speaking of this, Zhu Dezhen paused and said with a smile: "Like your KKI Technology, you opened a branch office in Mountain View, you must not know what the KKI Technology office originally did, right?"

Belch......

Bian Xuedao was asked, he really didn't know what the office space rented by KKI Technology was doing before.

Looking at Bian Xuedao's eyes, Zhu Dezhen smiled and said, "It's a Vietnamese restaurant. ”

Bian Xuedao: "......"

Zhu Dezhen's face showed a little pride, and then said: "Enterprises in Silicon Valley either have money or can easily raise money. The tenants are not bad for money, the rent here is bound to be not low, and combined with the supply-demand ratio, the rent will definitely rise. Unlike tech companies, which can get rich overnight, retail and restaurants are industries that are profitable and have a limit on rent, and once the rent rises above the ceiling, restaurateurs can't hold on...... This is one of them. ”

Bian Xuedao: "......"

"Second......" Zhu Dezhen said neatly: "It's still the rent and the ratio of supply and demand." In addition to office space, people also need a place to live and rest. As you can see in Mountain View, the city is so big, and there are so many houses available for rent. There is a massive influx of employees at tech companies like KKI Technology, and changes in the supply-demand ratio will inevitably lead to higher rents. ”

"Then the question is, where do the employees of tech companies need to live, and the salespeople of retail stores and restaurant chefs also need to live, and who is more sensitive to high rents?"

Looking at Zhu Dezhen, who was like a hanging river on the other side, Bian Xuedao showed a look of attentive listening on his face.

Zhu Dezhen continued: "It is obvious that if the salary paid by the restaurant to the staff is not enough for the employees to rent a house in the city, or will be enough to rent a house in the city, it will not be able to recruit people, so if the rent of the city house rises, the level of human pay will also rise." In other words, the labor cost and total cost of doing business in a restaurant in Silicon Valley are higher than in other regions. ”

"Then again, no matter how hot a restaurant is, it's impossible to have more money than a tech company. Or take KKI Technology as an example, may the quality of life of an employee in your branch affect the quality of life because of the rent increase of $200 per month? Or will giving employees a few hundred dollars a month a 'rent subsidy' make a boss like you feel pain?"

Bian Xuedao smiled and did not answer.

"Therefore, the result of the salary battle is inevitably that technology companies will win, and other industries such as restaurants will have to close their doors one by one. After speaking, Zhu Dezhen picked up the water cup in front of him and drank half a cup in one gulp.

Looking at Zhu Dezhen, who was drinking water, he said sincerely: "What you said is very reasonable. ”

Putting down the water glass, Zhu Dezhen said, "I haven't finished yet." ”

Bian Xuedao listened to it and said with a smile: "If you can still say a convincing reason, I will ask you to change this time." ”

It seems that because the two have met a lot recently and become familiar with each other, Zhu Dezhen pouted slightly emotionally: "My knowledge is so worthless?"

Bian Xuedao laughed and said, "Then in addition to this meal, I owe another meal." ”

Zhu Dezhen listened, muttered for a few seconds as if he was serious, nodded and said, "Deal!" My knowledge is not cheap, and your time is quite valuable, two meals are worth it." ”

Bian Xuedao smiled and said, "Listen up." ”

At this time, the waiter brought the food one by one.

I don't know if it's because of the food in front of me, or because I exchanged my knowledge for something of equal value, compared to when I first entered the door, Zhu Dezhen's mood seemed to be much better, I saw her pick up the knife and fork, and said with bright eyes: "Third...... It's actually quite simple. ”

"Operating costs have forced some restaurants to survive and close down, and the consequence is that it is becoming more and more difficult for employees of technology companies to find a place to eat in the city. ”

"This situation will force tech companies to build their own in-house canteens. And to build a self-built canteen, you have to recruit chefs and other kitchen staff. How to recruit people? It must be poaching people in the nearest restaurant that is still open in the city. ”

Hearing this, Bian Xuedao interjected and asked, "Why do you have to dig people nearby?"

Picking up the wine glass, Zhu Dezhen shook it gently.

Because there was shrimp in the main course, Zhu Dezhen ordered a bottle of tamaya-sauvignon-blanc (Chilean Grand Maya Sauvignon Blanc white wine).

Taking a sip of wine and savoring it for two seconds, Zhu Dezhen put down the wine glass and said: "This is actually a strange circle - the restaurant that can hold out in the 'rent and salary war' must be a restaurant with excellent business." The restaurant is doing very well, and it is certainly the chef's cooking skills and flavors that are very popular with the employees of the tech companies. Therefore, for technology companies that are preparing to build their own canteens, it is far better to dig up chefs who are close to them and have already verified their cooking skills than to go to other places to poach chefs who are not sure whether they can be accepted by employees. Deep-pocketed tech companies poach people, and Michelin-starred restaurant owners may not be able to handle it, let alone these small restaurants in Silicon Valley. ”

"Next...... Even if a restaurant hires new chefs to continue its business, its turnover will inevitably be hit by the in-house canteens of various tech companies. Because there is a cafeteria in the company, few people will be willing to drive out to eat. All in all, opening a restaurant in Silicon Valley is not a good business. ”

Zhu Dezhen finished speaking.

After a few seconds of silence, Bian Xuedao picked up his wine glass and gestured to Zhu Dezhen: "Admire! I owe you a meal." ”

Zhu Dezhen smiled and said, "I wrote it down." ”

The two of them ate for a while, and Zhu Dezhen suddenly asked, "Do you know who was sitting next to you in the morning?"

Bian Xuedao shook his head: "We didn't communicate, only nodded." ”

Zhu Dezhen took the knife and fork and said, "That old man is the former head of Narumi-Narumi Pottery. ”

"Narumi?" asked Bian Xuedao, "Japanese ben people?"

Zhu Dezhen nodded: "This brand is well-known in Japan, and it is also one of the top bone china brands in the world. ”

Bian Xuedao asked: "He also invested in Tesla?"

Zhu Dezhen continued to nod.

Bian Xuedao said with a smile: "To make a porcelain investment car, this cross-border is really a bit big." ”

Putting down the knife and fork, Zhu Dezhen put on a serious expression and said, "My grandfather taught us when he was alive that we should never underestimate the strategic vision, patience and ambition of the Japanese people. ”

Seeing that Bian Xuedao was stunned by his sudden change of attitude, Zhu Dezhen looked apologetic and said, "Sorry, I remembered some of what my grandfather said just now, and I felt a little emotional. ”

Bian Xuedao said calmly: "It's okay. ”

Picking up the wine glass and taking a big sip, Zhu Dezhen said leisurely: "My grandfather liked porcelain when he was alive......"

Bian Xuedao nodded when he heard this, because he remembered the Yuan blue and white Guiguzi descending mountain picture jar filled with fine sand when he first saw Zhu Haishan.

Now that I think about it, Zhu Haishan took the Yuan Qinghua Guiguzi descending picture jar with him in his later years, which is probably related to the strong mystery of Guiguzi, a historical figure.

It is difficult for "outliers" like Zhu Haishan and Bian Xuedao to believe in materialism, because materialism cannot explain their extraordinary existence.

Zhu Dezhen, who was opposite, continued: "He once wanted to build a pottery factory, and he prepared for more than two years, but then he didn't know why he couldn't do it. Later, my grandfather lamented at home more than once that in a country with porcelain as its name, the porcelain-making process was so backward that it was squeezed out of the high-end ranks by Europe and Japan, and could only export some cheap ceramic tableware and floor tiles. ”

Bian Xuedao was very unfamiliar with the ceramic industry, he put down the knife and fork and asked: "There is a big gap in the level of technology?"

Zhu Dezhen nodded and said: "I have read the relevant research reports, and there is a gap of at least 30 years between the entire Chinese ceramic industry and the world's top ceramic producers. In recent years, domestic ceramic manufacturers have tried to catch up, but until now, only a small number of domestic manufacturers can produce products of the same level as international ceramic brands on a small scale. ”

After listening, Bian Xuedao stared at the ceramic tableware on the table, and said suspiciously: "None of these are made in China?"

Zhu Dezhen glanced at Bian Xuedao's gaze a few times and said, "The tableware used in this restaurant is mainly British porcelain, and the teacup in your hand is Japanese Ben Zewu bone china." ”

Bian Xuedao looked up at Zhu Dezhen and said, "You can see this?"

Zhu Dezhen pulled the hair next to her ear and said: "On high-class social occasions, especially some private banquets and tea parties, the tableware, tea sets, wine sets, and coffee sets used are very particular. Similarly, to drink tea, you need to use English porcelain for black tea, and you need to use Japanese porcelain for green tea, which can't be messed up. ”

After Zhu Dezhen finished speaking, Bian Xuedao felt a little inferior in his heart, and then asked: "Why is the history of porcelain-making so deep in China lagging behind?"

Zhu Dezhen cut a piece of pizza and said: "Losing to European manufacturers is losing in design creativity and space beauty." Losing to Japanese Ben manufacturers is losing in the details and the heart of craftsmen. ”

Craftsman's heart!

The simple four words are like a hammer smashed on the heart of Bian Xuedao.

Craftsman...... Artisan...... Ingenuity...... Craftsman spirit!!

Bian Xuedao also cut a piece of pizza with a pizza knife, and Zhu Dezhen said meaningfully: "In the same way, some people pay attention to it, some people will compromise, and in the end, it must be the people who pay attention to go further." ”
