Episode 206 Cooperation
Zheng Ke looked at the contract in his hand, and his brain felt like it was screwed together. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Even if it was just a hotel restaurant, it was still a bit too much to give 15% of the shares all at once, so he pushed the contract to Takeshi Ueda.
Ueda Takeshi was stunned, "What's too little?"
"On the contrary, there are too many. I...... Didn't do anything, and couldn't afford this contract. Moreover, I didn't come to help you for this contract. Zheng Ke explained.
A 15% stake in a restaurant is indeed a big number for Zheng Ke. In the long run, it is even more cost-effective than Eizaya's three-year contract.
However, this is not a good business for Zheng Ke.
First of all, the Kunke-tei is not in Tokyo, so with his current energy, if he spends too much energy on the kun-kien, his cooking skills will also be dragged down.
Secondly,He's going to be one of the Ten Masters right away,There's no shortage of money,Because in terms of funds,Yuanyue School Park has a lot of support for the Ten Heroes,As long as there is a suitable reason,The general school will not be embarrassed by the Ten Masters in terms of fundsγ
Another point is that he feels that although he has done a lot in this incident, it is still not worth 15% of the shares.
"Who's to say you didn't do anything? If it weren't for your reminder, we wouldn't have taken into account the agreement between the department manager and Takahashi, and we wouldn't have determined the connection between Takahashi and Junkeki. Without these, not only would the acquisition of the Kunke-tei be just a joke, but the Rainbow Leaf Garden would be more likely to be eaten by Takahashima. Moreover, this share is not given to you for nothing -
"Actually, during the day today, I discussed with Eizan Ezuzu for a long time, and decided to pick out the restaurant in Junketei, and maybe when the time is right, let this restaurant be set up and divided in Tokyo, Osaka, Hokkaido, and other places, and then operate it as a sub-brand of Rainbow Leaf Garden.
"However, there is a difference between opening a restaurant and opening a hotel. In addition to the restaurant, the hotel also has accommodation, entertainment facilities, etc., but the restaurant is different, and its quality depends on the chef's cooking skills and the quality of the recipes. Therefore, if you want your restaurant to meet the standards of customer satisfaction, the style of the restaurant and the quality of the food will be extremely important.
"I want this restaurant to be more than just a restaurant, but I want it to serve the dishes of the Colored Leaf Garden β I have a wish, even if it is to spread the Colored Leaf Garden all over the country. Ruishan-kun also very much agrees with my plan!"
Nonsense, can he disagree? It's all money!
Zheng Ke rolled his eyes.
"And, it's only a matter of time before you have your own restaurant, right?" said Takeshi Ueda.
"Your own restaurant?" Zheng Ke nodded, as a chef, the most important thing is to have your own restaurant, "However, isn't it too early to think about these now?"
"It's not too early, you should at least have your own restaurant before you graduate, right?" asked Takeshi Ueda.
Zheng Ke nodded, but he was not like Ye Qiuling, he had a family member who could prepare these for him, and he had to work hard by himself for the restaurant or something, just like Senior Sister Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo.
"So, it's important to gain relevant experience before you graduate?" Ueda asked.
"That being said, but there are also a lot of things going on at school, and I probably don't have that much energy to take care of the cafeteria......"
"No, Eizan Esatsu will also be in charge of the hotel's operations. Of course, if you want to run it yourself, I can also leave it to you. Takeshi Ueda said confidently.
Zheng Ke shook his head again and again, and he was not in Tokyo, so it was really troublesome to run back and forth between the two places.
"I don't even know what to say...... Zheng Ke said, scratching his head.
Takeshi Ueda had a smile on his face, "However, my only condition is that I hope to form a partnership with your restaurant after you create it on your own." The Garden of Colored Leaves and the Pavilion are where you can use the top recipes of your own restaurant. β
For Takeshi Ueda, it was a big gamble.
Maybe the price is very big this time, but if Zheng Ke's independently founded restaurant can become a Michelin-starred restaurant, then the entire Colored Leaves Garden can enjoy the cuisine that only star restaurants have, so thinking about it, this contract is still quite cost-effective.
Moreover, Zheng Ke is still one of the top ten masters of Yuanyue...... In the next ten years, Zheng Ke and Eiyama Edazaya, their connections should be able to spread throughout the Japanese cuisine industry, which is also something that money can't buy.
Ueda Takeshi's words really made Zheng Ke a little moved.
So far, in addition to the prize money earned from the fried chicken leg contest (which has long been spent), all that remains is the recording of "The Best Chef", and the remuneration given to him by Ryuichi Shiraishi, although he has signed a contract with Ruishan, it is estimated that it will be a few million yen at most.
This money can't open a restaurant at all.,And it's impossible for Yuanyue School Park to give him money to open a restaurant.γ
Zheng Ke carefully read the contract, the conditions are not harsh, only need to make appropriate adjustments to the cuisine within a certain period of time, and when necessary, to help publicize. The only trouble is that Junke-tei specializes in Western-style cuisine.
It would be nice if it was a Chinese cuisine.
"Is Ruishan also in charge of formulating the recipes here?" Zheng Ke pondered for a moment, and then asked Takeshi Ueda.
"It's not written into the contract. Takeshi Ueda said.
"Write it in, I'll pay for it. If I don't have time to make a recipe, let him come. Zheng Ke said.
"So, you agreed?" Ueda Takeshi's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I'm sorry, Brother Wu, I asked you to take care of me again this time. However, does she know about it, aunt?" Zheng Ke was a little worried.
"Of course I do, and that's what she told me to do. Don't worry, my mother has a poisonous mouth, but her brain is clear. Ueda Takeshi smiled, but there was also some embarrassment in his smile, "So, please don't blame my mother anymore, she regrets what happened very much." However, there is one more point to make clear to you - we have not fully acquired Junketing, but only signed the acquisition contract, and it will take about another four or five months to complete the transaction. So, if this contract is to actually take effect, it may have to wait a few more months. β
Zheng Ke nodded, "It's nothing, and I'm not in a hurry." β
Now that he has decided to accept this contract, Zheng Ke will no longer twist and turn, and more importantly, the food illustrated book given by the system can also be used, as for the recipes selected......
"By the way, Brother Wu, there is a magazine that reports on the cuisine of our restaurant, do you know about it?" Zheng Ke decided to put the above 10 dishes into the food illustrated book first, and see how the effect was.
"Yes. Today there is a noticeable increase in the number of guests in the hotel, and I will certainly look for the reason. As he spoke, Takeshi Ueda took out the "Gourmet" magazine from the drawer, "I decided to use the ten dishes above as the 10 signature dishes of the Colored Leaf Garden and the Junketei, what do you think?"
"That's what I thought, too. Zheng Ke nodded repeatedly.
"Also, I think the chef competition should also be stepped up, and it is best to take advantage of this issue of the magazine to maximize the effect of the competition, what do you think?" Ueda Takeshi looked at Zheng Ke with an expectant gaze.
"Then this month, right?" Zheng Ke said with a moment of contemplation.
