(Thanks to my friends for the night and the blue phantom monthly pass for encouragement)

The hot spring area is finally full of cooks, because the number of people needed is small, but the waiters are still poor. Even if Liu Heming's salary is not low, people are not very interested in working here.

His original intention was to recruit some young men and girls with youthful vitality, but now there is only one young girl in her early twenties, and the rest are in the age of thirty and forty.

Recruitment information still has to be hung, although there are not enough waiters, but it is also possible to conduct a trial operation. Even if you can't entertain 500 people now, you can entertain 300 people.

The charging standard of 300 US dollars per person really scared many people. Although the price is similar to the price of the high-end suite in the big hotel, the price of a small hotel like this is sky-high, and it has doubled directly.

The consequence is that on the first day of opening, there is no one who comes over.

This is a normal phenomenon, many people don't know about it, and some people think that the price here is expensive. Liu Heming is not worried, even if it is a good deal, it is impossible to fill it up as soon as it opens.

"Susanna, why do I see your face so bad?" Liu Heming asked curiously during dinner in the evening.

"Hey, it's too hard to deal with here. Suzanne said with a sigh.

Even though Liu Heming had already told her that the industry here could be developed slowly, Suzanne still felt that this feeling of hitting a wall everywhere was not so good.

It is much more difficult to buy land in Japan than in South Korea.

It's not like acquiring a hot spring, it's an acquired property. In Japan, it is difficult to purchase arable land due to the constraints of the natural environment.

"Suzanne, you should ask him for more pay. Sasha on the side said.

"The boss is still very picky sometimes, and it's too difficult to ask for more salary. Susanna's mood was a little better, and she said tentatively.

"Your salary is not low, is it? I gave you a Ferrari when I first dug you up, and I don't have such a good car. Liu Heming pouted and said.

"Although our industry is not as large as the scale of the world's top 500 companies, in terms of treatment, even Michael is very envious of you. ”

"Hey, the boss is the best. If it could be a little better, it would be even better. Suzanne said with a grin, and gave Liu Heming a piece of sashimi.

While eating, the waiter walked in, and a guest came to the hot spring, but the guest asked to see the boss.

Liu Heming is so depressed, are you here to soak in the hot springs or what are you here for? What are you doing when you see the boss? Even if he is a little unhappy in his heart, he still has to go out to see him, after all, this is the first guest in the hot spring area.

When I came outside, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a kimono standing straight next to the service desk.

Seeing Liu Heming, the middle-aged man had a very serious expression, and then came a word of Japanese, Liu Heming didn't understand, so he had to look at the waiter on the side.

"Boss, he said his name was Hideo Kitagawa and he wanted to try to make knives with you. The waiter translated it.

This is also a problem in recruiting waiters, and Liu Heming requires at least some basic Chinese and English.

Liu Heming heard a head or two, what is this going to do? Why do you come up and compete, is there a brain disease? But when he heard the surname Beichuan, he seemed to have some impressions, but he couldn't remember it.

"You tell him that if you want to soak in the hot springs, you have to register and pay the money, and if you don't want to soak in the hot springs, you should do whatever you want. Liu Heming said a little depressed.

"You say your knives are the best knives in the world, so I'm going to compete with you. The knives of our Kitagawa family are not allowed to be insulted by anyone. After the waiter finished translating, Hideo Kitagawa said in English.

"You see, you don't speak English early. I don't know you at all, and I don't know what your Beichuan family does, are you here to make trouble?" Liu Heming looked at him and said.

Kitagawa Hideo shook his head, took out his mobile phone, and handed it to Liu Heming after operating for a while.

What is playing on the phone is a video, and the protagonist is Liu Heming, who is the part where he tried his cooking skills with that Steve Zhou.

Liu Heming understood it and knew who this Kitagawa Hideo was, but he felt even more ridiculous.

When I first competed with Steve Chow, this product took out a set of knives to show off. Then TC couldn't look at it anymore and took out the dagger he had made for him.

At that time, he didn't care at all, who would have thought that now this Kitagawa Hideo would come over to compete with him because of this matter.

This Hideo Kitagawa may be the character of Keiichi Kitagawa and nephew, but he still thinks his request for a competition is a bit ridiculous.

"It's been so long since you came to me to compete, was it that Steve Zhou contacted you?" asked with a smile after handing the phone back.

Hideo Kitagawa nodded, "Although I saw it relatively late, our Kitagawa family must not be insulted like this." Otherwise, you'll have to apologize. ”

"Why are you like this?" Liu Heming became even more depressed.

This Kitagawa Hideo is a shaft, he has already made it clear, and he should also know that this is what Steve Zhou provoked in it, but he is still determined to compete.

Just like some time ago when he tried to make ramen with Ichiro Asada, he didn't know that people like them thought they were good at it, so they thought they were really good at it.

"Boss, or you can try to compete with him, it's here in our hot spring hotel. Susanna, who had been listening for a while, said with a smile.

Liu Heming frowned, "Are you planning to use this to attract guests?" but don't you think it will be boring if I do this?"

"Hehe, boss, what are you afraid of? Anyway, you can attract business for our hotel. I can't find such a good advertisement, no matter how much it costs. Suzanne said with a smile.

Liu Heming glared at her angrily, this girl even dared to "betray" herself in order to solicit business here.

After thinking about it, I sighed in my heart. He didn't know if he had this mocking face, and there were always people who came to compare this and that with him.

In fact, it is very simple, because I am not famous in other industries. The knife he made himself was good, and Steve encouraged it on Monday, which made this Kitagawa Hideo feel insulted.

You can say that this is his craftsman spirit, but Liu Heming feels that this still belongs to the arrogance in his bones. If he was also a famous knife maker, maybe he wouldn't have had such a big reaction.

"Alright, Hideo Kitagawa, let's compete in four days. In my hot spring inn, you'd better find someone who can be a witness, I don't want to deal with the endless mess. Liu Heming looked at Hideo Kitagawa and said.

"You provide the steel for forging the knives, so let's use the same one. Then no matter what the result of this written test is, as long as the competition is over, the matter between us will be over. ”

"Good. ”

Kitagawa Hideo answered, then bowed fifty degrees, and turned around and left the place directly.

"Hahaha, this thing is very good, I'm going to spread the news. Suzanne said happily.

"I wanted to give you a salary increase, but you even dared to betray your boss, so I won't add it this time. Liu He understood her.

"Tell the ranch to give me the hammer and anvil I used to make iron, and you have to have the tools to take advantage of it if you want to win. You don't even want to think about what I'd do if I lost. ”

"Stingy boss. Suzanne muttered a sentence and then continued, "If you lose, you lose, you don't care about these things anyway." But anyway, it can also make our hotel famous, right?"

"As long as they come over and soak in our hot springs, they will know that our hot springs are good, so they don't have to worry about it in the future, and the business here can be opened directly. ”

"Well, boss, you said you were going to give me a raise, is it true, or is it to anger me? ”

Sasha shook her head on the side, Suzanne was still justified at first, but at the end of the sentence showed timidity.

Liu Heming put his hands behind his back, "This matter, I'm really serious." I already see that you work very hard, who made you dare to betray me. ”

Susanna's entanglement, some can't tell whether Liu Heming is telling the truth or a lie.

She knows Liu Heming very well, Liu Heming is very casual in management, and if she says that she will increase her salary, she will pay a bonus. However, he also often fooled people, and Helois was fooled by him.

"Hehe, I have to keep eating. Liu Heming said with a smile.

"What do you want to do so much. Looking at Susanna, who was still entangled, Sasha said helplessly.

"But what if I really miss the opportunity for a raise? Sasha, you go and talk to the boss about it, this time I am also thinking about the interests of the company. Suzanne said, putting her arm around Sasha.

Sasha shook her head helplessly, Susanna, who is usually quite shrewd, also has times when she is confused.

Liu Heming never treats his employees badly, whether you are a worker on the ranch or a manager like Susanna.

Just like Liu Heming said, Susanna's treatment standard is no worse than that of those executives of Fortune 500 companies. Since Liu Heming has revealed this tone, it means that her work during this period of time has satisfied Liu Heming, and it is a matter of time before she raises her salary.

Now it's just Liu Heming's little prank, torture her a little, after all, if you "betray" the boss, you will also be punished.
