After the phone was dialed, it was immediately connected without thinking a few times. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Calling so late, is there anything wrong with Li Sang?" There was a strange voice from Misa Sato on the other end of the phone.

"That Sato...... I decided to close the shop. Li Xiaoran said bluntly.

"Eh, why did Li Sang close the shop, did something happen?" Misa Sato on the other end of the phone was slightly stunned with a smile on his face, and then asked with some excitement.

"Because I decided to officially accept investment and sponsorship, and I am ready to open a star-rated restaurant...... Although I don't have enough strength at the moment, I still want to open a high-end restaurant that really belongs to me. ”

"I ...... I see. Pursing her lips, Misa Sato on the other end of the phone nodded slightly, and then exhaled a long breath.

Although I knew that there would be such a day, and 'L' would not be able to drive forever, I didn't expect it to come so suddenly.

"Of course, the star-rated restaurant is not so simple, you still have to start with the most basic restaurant, and Sato, did you ever want to help me?" Li Xiaoran smiled and said.

"Huh...... Oh, but it's a star restaurant. Misa Sato on the other end of the phone couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she heard Li Xiaoran's words.

If it's an ordinary restaurant like 'L', then Misa Sato will not hesitate to agree.

But after all, what Li Xiaoran said was to make it a star-rated high-end restaurant.

"It's not so easy to talk about a high-end restaurant, and it's not enough for me to be alone, I'll find someone else when the time comes, but then I'm used to opening a restaurant with someone I know well, and if I can, I'd like you to help me, Sato! After all, I'm used to your time in the store. Li Xiaoran smiled and said.

For Misa Sato, Li Xiaoran really wanted to let him come over to help him.

There may be some deficiencies in personal strength, but these can be made up for through follow-up learning, compared with more professional strangers, Li Xiaoran still hopes that the employees around him are familiar people and friends.

Although he and Misa Sato only wanted to compete with the Kohei family's small shop from the beginning, but when he later acquired Sato Restaurant and then hired Misa Sato, Li Xiaoran really regarded Misa Sato as a friend.

"But in the restaurant, I'm not the only chef to be busy." Li Xiaoran touched his chin and thought in his heart.

In addition to being the head chef, I also need a sous chef and other chefs.

It is conservatively estimated that at least 3 chefs will be hired, and you will have to find a chef with similar characteristics to your own restaurant, and you can't always find someone who specializes in Indian and Thai cuisine.

"It's a real problem, but as for the chef, you have to decide for yourself." Although he felt that it was very troublesome, when it came to the kitchen, Li Xiaoran was very cautious, and he had to get his own approval before he could step into the kitchen.

But for now, it's better to put this matter aside, after all, I haven't even decided where to put the address, and the contract or anything can't be seen.

Sleeping on the bed, Li Xiaoran yawned, and when the time came, he would have to ask for sponsorship from Dojima Silver.

If you can get the help of Dojima Gin, at least the initial reputation promotion can save a lot of trouble.

Three days later......

"Then congratulations to Li Sang's restaurant on all the best." Sasaki looked at Li Xiaoran and said with a smile.

Because of the factors of Dojima Silver in the United States, issues such as negotiating detailed contracts were carried out by his subordinate Sasaki.

However, perhaps because Li Xiaoran agreed to Dojima Silver and rejected the invitation of the Nagi Thistle Foundation, or Dojima Silver is really optimistic about Li Xiaoran.

The conditions given for this sponsorship are simply generous.

Including the funds provided every year, including the professionals in Li Xiaoran's restaurant except for the chef, Dojima Silver will be responsible for it.

The wine is served by Ina, the ingredients are supplied by Kita Shuji, and the annual sponsorship of the restaurant is as high as 3 million dollars.

This is definitely an astronomical amount, at least Li Xiaoran has never heard of a restaurant that has not yet achieved results and can get a sponsorship fee of three million dollars a year.

However, although everything has been agreed, the location of the restaurant has been decided in Kyoto, but the exact location has not yet been decided.

"As for the specific location of the store, we will pay attention to Li Sang in the Far Moon Resort." After listening to Li Xiaoran's question, Sasaki nodded and said.

Although he has a certain influence in Neon, Li Xiaoran does not have the same influence as Kojiro Shinomiya, and he can open a store in any place.

After all, geography is still very important.

"But does Li Sang want a more luxurious place, or something else?" Sasaki looked at Li Xiaoran and asked.

If it's a more luxurious place, obviously the repayment of the store is a big expense, and there is a cutthroat competition with other restaurants.

However, there are also many advantages, such as the high flow of people.

"If I could, I would like to choose a place with a better environment." Li Xiaoran looked at Sasaki and said.

As for the restaurant, Li Xiaoran is ready to take the route of pure reservations.

In fact, most of the restaurants are also reservation-only routes, so that the opening time of the top restaurants can be better.

Although he doesn't want to be in the metropolis, because of the problem of fame and foot traffic, Li Xiaoran also has to admit that if he chooses a place with little traffic, it is likely that the restaurant will close down because of his poor management.

Don't look at the sponsorship investment of three million a year, but in fact, if you want to keep the restaurant going, this money alone is completely not enough.

You can rely on this sponsorship investment for the first month or two, and it's okay to lose money, but in the following days, the restaurant will have to open, otherwise there will be a deficit and then bankruptcy!

"I'll keep an eye on it." Hearing Li Xiaoran's request, Sasaki nodded lightly and wrote it down with his mobile phone.

It's not just the storefront, it's the menu, and the recipes.

After determining the menu, some of the new dishes created by Li Xiaoran himself also had to write down their recipes, such as how to deal with the ingredients, the proportion of seasonings, and so on.

The kitchen of a restaurant is definitely not a place that one person can fully master.

It's a whole, just like a competitive game, you need a team, you can be a thigh-level presence, but your teammates are absolutely indispensable.
