Chapter 1280: Make do with the preparations
After this call, Kondo also called, saying that everyone had checked out, thank you for your hospitality.
Bai Lu said: "What are you retreating?" Didn't you say that I would work? â
Kondo explained, "I'll go home today and I'll come back to you tomorrow." â
Since he was gone, he didn't say much, Bai Lu made an appointment to see him tomorrow and hung up the phone. Let Gu Peng take him to see tables, chairs, tableware and other things.
After wandering like this for a long time, Man Happy suddenly called: "Little Bailu, I'm here." â
Bai Lu was a little depressed: "What is this called?" â
"White fawn, you don't have a sense of humor, where are you? I'm coming to you. â
"Got off the plane?" Bai Lu asked.
"Just got off, Uncle Yuanlong was very popular, and he didn't stop signing photos along the way, and now he is still surrounded by people, there are many people taking pictures, and they want to take pictures of me, I'm so smart, easy flash, haha." Man Happy suddenly shouted: "I have to run, I'll call you later." "After saying that, the line was broken.
Bai Lu put down his hand and asked Gu Peng: "Coming from the airport, where to wait for them?" â
"Someone's coming?" Gu Peng said: "It depends on what car they take and where they want to park, there is an airport line, and it is different if they drive themselves." â
At this time, Bai Lu and Gu Peng had just finished lunch and went to the Ikebukuro area under the leadership of Gu Peng. There are many Chinese in this place, known as Tokyo's Chinatown, and it is also very prosperous, so it is convenient to find tables, chairs, tableware and other items for Chinese food.
Bai Lu asked, "Is it convenient to get here from the airport?" As soon as he finished speaking, Nobuo Shiratori called: "Do you want to make a big one?" â
"What do you mean?"
"The International Exhibition Center, the venue is big enough. I asked, and three days later a showroom was vacated in the East End. â
"Well, that's it, I'll go over now." Bai Lu asked, "Are you there?" â
Nobuo Shiratori said, "If you go now, I'll go." â
"Okay, see you later." Bai Lu said.
Ending the call, the two rushed to the exhibition center. Just two steps away, Man Happy called and asked where to go.
Bai Lu said to go to the exhibition center and asked Gu Peng how to get there. Gu Peng said that there is a subway to arrive directly.
The other end of the phone has been replaced by Yuan Long speaking: "Exhibition center, right?" Which door? â
"How many doors?" Bai Lu asked.
Yuan Long said, "See you at the main gate." "Hang up.
Forty minutes later. Nobuo Shiratori, President Inoue. Bai Lu, Gu Peng, Yuan Long, and Man Happy Success met at the entrance of the exhibition center. As soon as he saw Bai Lu, he pounced bravely: "Little Bailu, auntie hug." â
Bai Lu said with a black face: "You are crazy. â
In addition to them, there is also a middle-aged Japanese. It's a friend of Nobuo Shiratori. Lead to go through the relevant procedures.
The process is deceptively simple. It didn't seem to take much time, finalizing things in the morning and finding the venue in the afternoon. It's very smooth lĂŹ look. I didn't know how cumbersome it was until I went through the formalities.
The staff asked very carefully, from the number of people to the function, and asked these things before deciding whether to rent or not, and then to pay the money.
It's one of the best showrooms in Japan and one of Tokyo's most famous attractions, and it's a great place to spend a lot. But Bai Lu didn't feel it at all, anyway, he just won the jackpot.
After seeing the exhibition hall, I also completed the formalities, and it was close to evening when I left the exhibition center.
At this time, there are several things to finalize, the first thing, what to do with the stove?
There were no natural gas pipelines in the exhibition hall, so Nobuo Shiratori asked, "Is it okay to use electricity?" â
It will be very convenient to use electricity, otherwise you will use gas canisters, I don't know how many you have to prepare, and it is not safe.
There is also an advantage of using electricity, electric ovens and electric steamers are more convenient to use.
Bai Lu thought about it and agreed.
It doesn't matter what kind of stove you use, what matters is that you make a dish that looks good and tastes good.
Decide what stove to use, and the next thing is the quantity, how many ovens and electric steamers are needed. There is also the issue of cutlery and tables and chairs.
I just saw the scene, it is rectangular, Bai Lu's design of setting the table with him as the center has changed slightly, he is still in the middle, the front and back have to set up the table, and the positions on both sides are set aside for everyone to visit the booth at close range, which is also convenient for reporters to interview.
And then there's the so-called ticketing problem. According to the agreement, those who dine at the fifteen restaurants can make reservations and pay the entrance fee on the spot.
Bai Lu said: "Tomorrow night the lottery will be drawn, and the next morning when I receive the prize, I will read all the names of your fifteen restaurants, you quickly inform them and ask if there are any different opinions." â
Nobuo Shiratori didn't want to argue with him about whether he could win the jackpot again, so he should have won. said: "This is not in a hurry, you can ask at night, the most important thing now is to buy tableware." â
Bai Lu thought about it for a while, and then came up with another idea: "Tell the guests, bring your own chopsticks and water cups." â
Nobuo Shiratori was surprised: "What are you going to do?" â
"Environmental protection, aren't you the most environmentally conscious? Take what you have and take it with you when you have eaten. â
Man Happy interrupted: "It's obviously irresponsible and shameless, can you be more shameless?" Since you're afraid of trouble, it's better not to do it. â
Yuanlong also said: "Let's prepare, if not, I'll pay for it." â
Nobuo Shiratori agreed with this point of view, and then said: "I have an idea for the table and chairs, according to your idea, all of them will be made into square tables, and in just a few days, where can I find so many antique dining tables?" I built a long table, which is the kind of long conference table, which can be covered with a tablecloth, this kind of table can be rented, which will save a lot of money, and chairs are easier to find. â
Bai Lu said: "Yes, this method is good. â
"Again, the ingredient problem, how many dishes do you need to buy?" Shiratori said, "Do you want to go back and see the venue?" â
Bai Lu said no, and said, "Don't stand here, go to the other side." â
The International Exhibition Center is very large, with a building and a conference hall, a restaurant in the building, and a hotel opposite.
The group went to the restaurant of the hotel opposite and sat down, ordered some food casually, borrowed paper and pencils, and drew the outline of the exhibition hall on the white road, filling in the things: "Using a long table, you can arrange seven columns vertically, and each column of guests will sit opposite each other. It can seat 200 people...... Why so many people? â
Using long tables is definitely more space-saving than using individual square tables, and the number of people naturally increases, not to mention that the exhibition hall is already large. According to this method, the seats can be arranged for 2,000 people.
Yuanlong said: "I think you are a bit of a child's play, things like this have to be planned and prepared for a long time in advance, it requires a lot of material resources and manpower, not that you can do it on impulse, sometimes, the more anxious you are, the more mistakes you make." â
Bai Lu said: "I didn't have a plan at all. I don't want to have a plan either. Where do you want to do it, why do you think so much? Then he said, "You reminded me, I have to leave a stage for you to come out, and add some sound equipment." â
Yuan Long smiled and asked, "Please let me sing karaoke?" â
"It's not just you. And Kobayashi Ichi. Bai Lu said.
Yuan Long smiled: "Arrange the task." One. who goes grocery shopping; two, who prepares the cutlery; Three, who buys things like induction cookers and electric steamers; Four. What to do with the waiter; Fifth, whether you want security personnel, who charges and who receives; Sixth, who is responsible for the reporter's propaganda of this piece; Seventh, the most important point, are you sure that you can be busy alone? â
Bai Lu answered the questions one by one: "I went grocery shopping and needed a car." â
Nobuo Shiratori said, "I have a grocery cart. â
Bai Lu said: "Another one, I need a tofu factory, I need to prepare something; Electric tableware, Mr. Shiratori, please help me buy it back, you must be present when cooking, tell me how to use it. â
Nobuo Shiratori said yes.
Bai Lu continued: "The waiter and the security guard hire hourly workers, 50,000 yen a day, and when you receive the award the day after tomorrow, you will make an advertisement by the way, and receive this piece, President Inoue, can you help take care of it?" â
Everyone is helpless, how confident do you have in yourself to talk about winning the lottery again and again? There is a saying that you can't repeat again and again, you can't answer this again.
Inoue didn't hear the line of winning the lottery, and answered the question and said yes.
"Besides, I'll do it when it comes to journalist publicity; Cooking, I'm enough for one person; There is one last thing left, buy cutlery and use square plates uniformly, not too big. â
Yuan Long interjected: "What should I do if I make fish?" To a large fish plate. â
Bai Lu said: "There are no fish. â
"No fish? What do you do without fish? Yuan Long was a little surprised.
Bai Lu said: "Fish are not important. â
Well, it doesn't matter, Yuan Long asked, "What size square plate do you want?" â
"I'll buy this." Bai Lu said.
Nobuo Shiratori said: "You are so extravagant, you are all spending your own money, and the tickets are only sold for a thousand, why don't you find someone to help you with such a big thing?" â
Yuan Long also said: "Not only is it luxurious, but it is also very wasteful, the equipment and tableware are useless after using it once, but you have to buy a brand new one." â
Bai Lu said: "It will not be wasted, and it will be stored in Mr. Shiratori's store, and I will have the opportunity to use it again in the future." â
President Inoue made a little calculation: "Preliminary estimates, it will probably cost about 100 million to 200 million. â
Man Happy and Yuan Long were a little surprised: "So many? â
"It depends on what ingredients you buy and what grade of tableware you buy, if you choose high-end tableware, the cost will be higher." Nobuo Shiratori continued, "How much do I need to buy such things as induction cookers and electric steamers?" â
Bai Lu thought about it and said, "Thirty stoves, thirty steamers, and twenty large ovens." â
"So much?" Nobuo Shiratori said.
"Be prepared." Bai Lu said: "Drive the car over tomorrow morning, say hello to the exhibition center again, and bring things in." â
What is Haste? That's haste. Because of an idea, Mr. Bai Da has to prepare from scratch in a few days, and he can only say that this madman really has personality and money.
A dinner lasted for more than three hours, and it was all about the Chinese feast.
After the meal, Shiratori and Inoue leave, and Shiraji takes Moto-ryu and Manyue back to the hotel.
On the way back, Bai Lu asked Manxing: "Your father didn't arrange bodyguards?" â
"No, my dad didn't know I was coming." Before today, she had been living in a large house on White Road and did not need bodyguards.
Yuanlong asked Bai Lu: "I haven't figured it out, why are you doing this?" â
Bai Lu replied, "I didn't figure it out myself. â
Yuan Long said: "If you don't think about the cost of money, it's a good thing, you can expand your popularity and increase your influence." â
Bai Lu said: "I am already quite famous in Japan, I don't believe in asking the driver. (To be continued......)
