Hearing Bai Bin say this, Wu Ming hurriedly glared at Bai Bin: "Okay, Bai Bin, Song is always a good friend of Fei'er, they are all their own people, what else can't be trusted, ask so much what to do, whether it will work or not, let's see for ourselves in a while and we will understand." ”

Song Xinyan smiled bitterly with a miserable face: "It's okay Mr. Wu, it's normal for Mr. Bai to want to ask, Mr. Bai, he is already an ex-husband, of course, he has already completed the relevant procedures, and we don't have anything to do with it now." ”

Bai Bin paused for a moment: "I've heard that I sold my property before the divorce and let the final property division benefit me, but now that you are obviously divorced, why do you want to sell here, it doesn't make sense." ”

Song Xinyan lowered her head, poured tea for Wu Ming and the others with the teacup on the table, and said after pouring: "Here's the thing, after I divorced my ex-husband, I ran this restaurant by myself.

Last winter, I remarried, and after my second marriage, I suddenly found out that my current husband was actually addicted to drugs, and he kept asking me for money to buy drugs.

Of course, I couldn't continue to live with such a person, and then I divorced this person, and when I divorced, my property was basically divided in half. ”

Wu Ming nodded, at that time, the new marriage law had not yet been implemented, and these restaurants and other things could not be regarded as Song Xinyan's premarital property, and they could be regarded as unlucky for this woman.

"But I don't know what happened, this matter was known to my ex-husband, and he applied to the lawyer to snatch custody of the child from me on the grounds that I had psychological defects in my love life. Song Xinyan said: "I have earned with him for a long time, but it can be seen that my second marriage and divorce have a decisive impact on the judge's judgment."

So if it goes to trial, I'm almost certainly going to lose custody of my children, and in that case, I'm going to lose my own children. So I was privately trying to negotiate terms with my ex-husband, and he asked me to give him the restaurant or else I would have to give him 50 million in cash.

You know, the restaurant industry is not easy to do right now, and it looks like business is pretty good here, but the daily flow is actually just like that.

In addition, when I divorced my second husband before, I lost a large amount of property, how could I get 50 million cash now, until this time, my ex-husband told me to let me use this Jiangnan restaurant chain company to top the 50 million.

After weighing it, I felt that Jiangnan Restaurant was the property left to me by my father, and I didn't want to fall into the hands of this person, so I simply sold the company and took the children to live a small life. ”

Hearing Song Xinyan say this, Wu Ming sighed, how come the women he saw have such miserable emotional lives, Tian Juan was forced by Lu Zhen's guy to almost jump off the building, Lu Feier's husband died, and he took this four-year-old son by himself, and the child also had kidney failure, and the Song Xinyan he saw now was squeezed by two scumbags in turn, and the most hateful was her first husband, this kid was simply his mother who took the shameless three words to the extreme.

is already divorced, but he is still thinking about using his children to blackmail his ex-wife, such a man, who should be fucking dragged directly to humane destruction.

Wu Ming sighed: "Mr. Song, I know your difficulties, but ......"

Song Xinyan suddenly raised her head: "Mr. Wu, I have made it very clear now, although my personal life is very bad now, but this does not affect the business of this restaurant, you can also see, the business of the restaurant is not bad, but I don't have time to run it well."

I'm just a little woman, I want to take care of my family, Mr. Wu, please help me, we can talk about the price. ”

Wu Ming looked at Bai Bin, generally speaking, Bai Bin would definitely take this opportunity to lower the price at this time, but today Wu Ming already felt really embarrassed.

Sure enough, even Bai Bin said: "Mr. Song, to be honest, if it was someone else sitting opposite me now, I would definitely use this opportunity to cut down the price, but after all, you are Fei'er's friend, Fei'er is my friend, and we can be regarded as friends with each other." ”

Song Xinyan nodded: "Of course." ”

"Let's put it this way, please take me with you in the past two days to take a look at the situation of your company, by the way, I will also take a look at the business status of other directly-operated stores, and then we will start negotiating. Bai Bin said: "Boss, can I call the shots in this matter?"

Wu Ming nodded: "Didn't you make the decision a long time ago, okay, this matter will be handled by you with full authority." ”

Bai Bin laughed: "That's easy, Mr. Song, you see if you bid first, or I first? If you bid, as long as it's not too high, I will try to satisfy you, and if I make a bid, I will try to give you a good price." ”

Song Xinyan looked happy: "Then thank you a few of you, so let's do it, since I'm here today, I'll have lunch here, and by the way, it's to inspect the level of our Jiangnan catering, that ...... Xiao Zhao, go and ask the kitchen to make some of our signature dishes today, and let Chef Chen do it himself, I am entertaining distinguished guests. ”

The waiter named Xiao Zhao smiled sweetly: "Okay, Mr. Song, wait a minute." ”

After finishing speaking, the waiter walked out, and at this time, Wu Ming held the teacup and silently exchanged glances with Bai Bin, and the two of them basically understood each other's views from each other's eyes.

The two people's views are the same, this Mr. Song seems to be a shrewd and capable woman, but to put it bluntly, this woman inherited the family business, and what she can do is the role of a manager, but she is definitely not suitable for being the head of a catering company.

Not to mention anything else, she is too honest and too weak, such a person is a simplified version of Li Mufei, who can do a good job in daily management, but she can't do a good job in strategy formulation, to put it bluntly...... What a perfect candidate for a puppet.

A few people had a lunch meal in the Jiangnan restaurant, Wu Ming, Bai Bin and others praised the level of the kitchen of the Jiangnan restaurant, and their appreciation was definitely not out of politeness, but because the level of the Jiangnan restaurant was really good.

Wu Ming and Bai Bin both have tongues that have been exercised in the Xiangwen Pavilion, both of them have eaten the dishes of the three-star Michelin chef Gu Xingzhi, and they have also learned some ways to judge the dishes with Gu Xingzhi, it is true that the dishes in the Jiangnan restaurant are still incomparable with Gu Xingzhi, but it can be seen that the operational efficiency of this kitchen team is quite good.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the speed of serving, when Wu Ming and the others came, they hadn't ordered yet, and after chatting, they asked Song Xinyan to start arranging the meal, and after just ten minutes, the cold dishes began to be served, and the speed of serving was very good.

In Gu Xingzhi's words, it is a good restaurant, the speed of serving is also particular, serving too fast, it will affect the rhythm of communication of guests at the table, thereby reducing the dining experience of guests, serving too slowly, it will make guests feel boring, some bad restaurants, when the dishes on the table of the guests are almost eaten, a table of people facing empty plates, the atmosphere is extremely embarrassing, such a restaurant, absolutely no one will go to the second trip.

In view of this, after the meal, Wu Ming proposed to visit the back kitchen, Song Xinyan agreed immediately, Wu Ming thought that the group could walk in directly, but unexpectedly, although Song Xinyan attached great importance to Wu Ming, she still let Wu Ming and the others change into a set of clothes first, and then passed through a spray disinfection room, and then entered the back kitchen.

Such a level of security is definitely so that the kitchen can't even find a fly and mosquito, after entering the back kitchen, Bai Bin and Wu Ming frequently exchanged glances, and their eyes were all admiration.

Wu Ming asked, "Where did you find such a great team of chefs?"

Song Xinyan laughed and said in a half-joking tone: "I want to say that it is ancestral, can you believe it?"

Wu Mingleng for a moment, and Song Xinyan explained: "This chef team was formed from my father's generation, my father was a chef in his early years, and later led his group of brothers to do it, these people are the descendants of my elders."

When I went to work during the day, I was their boss, and when I got off work, they were my best friends. ”

Wu Ming nodded, he had heard Gu Xingzhi say before that the most difficult thing in managing a catering company is people, whether it is the back kitchen, running the hall, passing dishes, or the front desk, because the salary level of this industry is generally not too high, and the quality of the hired people is even better.

Therefore, many successful catering companies are family-run businesses, which seem to be outdated and will be eliminated by the times, but only in the catering industry.

After turning around, Wu Ming found that although the eyes of these people in the kitchen looked at him, although they were polite, but there was a lot of hostility in the politeness, and this kind of hostility could only be experienced by Wu Ming after he practiced the meditation on the holy recipe of medicine.

Needless to say, this kind of hostility is also normal, their family has followed the Song family for generations, and now the Song family wants to sell this restaurant, they miss the old way of managing with feelings as a bond, so they naturally see Wu Ming and them as foreign invaders.

Wu Ming smiled bitterly, if he really bought this place, it seems that these people may not be subject to it.

After reading it, Wu Ming and his entourage went back to the hotel, Wu Ming asked Dajun and Ah Guang to go back to the room to rest first, and he sat with Bai Bin to talk about this matter: "If you have any opinions, you can say it directly now." ”

Bai Bin rubbed his eyes: "Isn't it? Today, from morning to noon, I have been giving you a look, looking at your eyes, my mother's eyes are sour for a long time."

I look at this business, good, but unfortunately, we can't take it. ”

"Why do you say that, tell me about it?" Wu Ming said.

Bai Bin said: "Isn't this clear? Jiangnan Restaurant is a very good restaurant, whether it is in terms of the technical level of the kitchen, the service level, or the management level, it is comparable to a first-class large restaurant."

If it weren't for Michelin's review system, which didn't include our mainland Chinese restaurants, I think it would have been marked with a two-star rating.

But what does such a restaurant rely on, it relies on the cohesion between these people and the Song family, and we don't have this cohesion, and we can't replicate it.

And what about this Song Xinyan? To put it bluntly, she is indeed not a qualified leader, so it is a pity that Jiangnan Restaurant cannot be sold to others to rejuvenate itself, and if it is placed in Song Xinyan's hands, it will gradually become lonely, and this is the case. ”

Wu Ming thought for a while: "Yes, I think so too, but I really think it's a pity to do this, you said that we want to find such a restaurant now, and then buy it in, what a good thing, but now it's such a situation."

I think, why don't you leave in a hurry, follow Song Xinyan's people around in the past two days to see the specific situation, and then let's sum it up, and it's best to find a perfect solution. ”

Bai Bin nodded: "Okay, I also want to fight for it, so I'll do it." ”
