1730. Mao Sui recommended himself
With doubts, Qin Shiou went to the door of the fishing ground and took Stanley in.
Unlike the last time they met, the chef changed his appearance and changed his white chef's suit to a silver suit, looking energetic and more like a business elite than a chef.
Stanley smiled as he walked through the scenery of the fishing grounds, "I used to follow your Twitter and the town's official Twitter, and many people below commented that the scenery in your fishing grounds is as beautiful as a famous painting, and now I can see it with my own eyes, which is really worthy of the name." ”
Qin Shiou said humbly: "It's just everyone's love, in fact, my fishing ground is better seafood, what do you want to eat at noon today?" I'll fish it up for you, let's prepare the ingredients in advance, so that you can make them when the time comes. ”
Stanley's eyes widened at him, he probably hadn't met such a sincere and frank person.
Qin Shiou laughed and quickly diverted the topic: "Okay, it seems that my jokes are not interesting, so may I ask you for something to come to me?" ”
He invited Stanley to sit on a wicker chair in the shade of a tree, and then went back to prepare the ice wine, which this time Daddy Hickson had brewed in a batch of low alcohol that could be used as a drink, and it was much better than fruit juice.
Stanley took a sip and then raised his eyebrows, and gave a thumbs up again and again and said: "This wine tastes so good, I can't imagine that Mr. Qin is still a master of winemaking, I have to ask for advice if I have the opportunity, in fact, I also like to make wine, and almost all the wine used in my restaurant is brewed by myself." ”
Qin Shiou secretly said that he would brew beer, wine and ice wine were not good, and it depended on Father Hickson.
After chatting a few words, Stanley finally said what he meant: "Mr. Qin, I heard that you have reached a strategic cooperation agreement with the Hilton family, and you will open a restaurant brand to the Hilton family?" ”
It just so happened that little Hilton came to play, and she recently fell in love with the smart tiger and leopard, and specially ran over and shouted that the tiger and leopard would go to the beach with her to catch crabs. Lalawang didn't want to play with this woman, they wagged their tails at Daddy Qin, but unfortunately Daddy didn't protect them, and watched them being pulled away by Little Hilton.
I'll never love my dad like that again, Lalawang thought angrily.
Stanley was taken aback at the sight of Little Hilton. said: "The Hilton family even paid you for their daughter?" ”
"What do you mean?" Qin Shiou asked strangely.
"That is, the little princess of the Hilton family is fascinated by you?" Stanley asked with envy on his face.
Qin Shiou waved his hand helplessly and said: "What are you thinking, it's me a buddy, a tough guy, this girl is a little interesting to him, so she came to my fishing ground, she has nothing to do with me." ”
Stanley breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I see. I was stunned just now. ”
Qin Shiou stared at him with an unkind face: "You just doubted my charm?" ”
Stanley hurriedly shook his head and said exaggeratedly: "No, of course not, how can I doubt your charm?" In fact, what I admire most is your fidelity to love, and if my guess is true, it proves that you are not faithful enough to love, and that would be too sad. ”
Qin Shiou felt that this guy was quite good at talking, so he had to admit it. What he said made Qin Daguan happy.
Since the topic talked about his cooperation with the Hilton family, Qin Shiou probably understood what he was rushing for. But he was a little strange, Stanley owned a three-Michelin-starred restaurant, so what interest did he have in this kind of restaurant chain?
The chef of a three-Michelin-starred restaurant, that is, the king of the catering industry, is very disdainful of ordinary chain restaurants that fight in a scattered line, even if the Hilton Hotel is of a higher grade. They shouldn't be able to look down on it.
Stanley's subsequent words overturned his thoughts, he coughed, and said, "Mr. Qin, I want to introduce myself first, I." Stanley Culbert, from Italy's Carlbert gastronomic family, studied hospitality management at Leiden University in the Netherlands and received a master's degree in the field from the University of London......"
Qin Shiou patiently listened to Stanley's self-introduction, and he successively introduced some of his academic achievements and work experiences, such as working as a senior trainer for Hilton Hotels after graduation and the president of the Middle East and Saudi Arabia region of Marriott International Hotel Group Inc.
He listened for a while and felt that something was wrong, Stanley has a rich and exciting resume, he has worked as a senior manager of many high-end hotels, and his former Marriott International is the world's leading international hotel management company, which has more than 2,800 business units in the United States and 69 other countries and regions, employs about 128,000 people, and has an annual turnover of $40 billion.
However, he should be a good chef, otherwise how could he have a three-Michelin-starred restaurant?
Facing his puzzled gaze, Stanley paused and said, "I understand what you mean, Mr. Qin, you must be very puzzled, since my job is a management position, how can I become the owner and chef of a three-star Michelin restaurant, right?" ”
Qin Shiou nodded and said, "Yes, to be honest, I'm curious, you're a genius?" ”
Stanley smiled dryly: "That's not it, in fact, that three-star restaurant is a relic left to me by my father, which was always run by my father before, and handed it over to me after he passed away." ”
Qin Shiou said: "But it doesn't make sense, although Michelin will only assess the restaurant grade once a year, but if there is a change, such as a change of owner, they will re-audit, and I have tasted your craftsmanship, it is indeed very outstanding." ”
Stanley sighed: "I have to explain that the Michelin assessment is not only the chef's skills, but also the restaurant's business philosophy and awareness of creating catering culture, etc., and I am qualified in this aspect." I'm also good at my craft, every man in our Culbert family is a gourmet, but I don't want to be a chef! ”
The last sentence he uttered almost through gritted teeth, "I don't want to be in the kitchen in greasy clothes, sniffing the damn oil smoke and fighting for other people's appetites!" I hate this kind of work, and if it weren't for my father's death, I would never have come back to pick up his restaurant! ”
Hearing this, Qin Shiou probably understood what he meant, and asked, "Then you came here to recommend yourself to Mao Sui, and you want to cooperate with me to manage Daqin Restaurant?" ”
Stanley nodded and apologized first: "I'm sorry Mr. Qin, I was a little out of shape just now, I hope you can understand a man's dedication to his career." ”
Then he took a sip of ice wine and continued: "Yes, I want to apply for the position of your restaurant management president, I have been waiting for this opportunity for two years, and finally let me wait!" (To be continued.) )
