Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

Cheng Guoqing came very early this time, because he was at a loss, because he had a request for others. So, he was waiting at the restaurant before eight o'clock.

Of course, he didn't come for dinner.

The reserved location of Shiheng Restaurant has already been scheduled for three months, and in order to control the freshness of the ingredients, Ash has set a daily purchase amount, which will not be too much.

Cheng Guoqing came to ask Ash for help, so naturally it was impossible for her to trouble her to cook for herself, he just came early to show his sincerity.

Ash knew his purpose, so he politely asked him if he wanted something to eat, and when he was refused, he didn't ask again.

Cheng Guoqing waited until half past ten in the evening, when he saw Ash and the last guest saying goodbye with a smile before he walked over.

"Hee-hee, are you done?" He asked cautiously, and even the title of Miss Ash, who was strange and estranged, changed to Hei Hei, who was deliberately close to the relationship.

Ash didn't bother with him about this detail, took off his snow-white apron, and said, "It's okay, just talk about it in the hall." ”

With that, she sat down at one of the tables she had cleaned up.

"Xixi, it's not early, in order not to delay your rest time, I'll just say it." Cheng Guoqing didn't intend to talk nonsense, and bluntly stated his purpose, "Reporter Wang should have already met with you and said that the partner over there temporarily defaulted, and we decided to cooperate with you." Of course, as a sign of good faith, I have already brought the draft contract with me today. You can take a look at what you don't like, we'll discuss it tonight and finalize a new contract tomorrow. ”

Ash chuckled lightly and said, "Mr. Cheng, you are really a good person. I still say the same thing, everyone is a businessman, I understand you, otherwise I would not agree to meet you again. However, this kind of thing, you should also know, is indispensable. ”

"Yes, yes, this won't happen, I really think your plan is good, otherwise I wouldn't have come to talk to you in person three times or twice!"

The other party's ability to change concepts is not small, it is clear that they want to cooperate with themselves at the beginning, and they water themselves halfway, and now they say how sincere they are.

Ash raised her lips, not wanting to go around the bend anymore, and bowed her head slightly, "Hmm." I still have the willingness to cooperate, but this time I have some other requirements. Mr. Cheng's contract is really brought, why don't you show me first? ”

Cheng Guoqing hurriedly took out the contract and gave it to Ash.

Ash glanced at the treaty and it seemed quite reasonable, because she contributed planning ideas, and the program team also gave her a salary.

But - Ash now has a new idea, and this reward is obviously not enough.

"Well, if it was the plan I proposed last time, this contract would be pretty good." Ash nodded with satisfaction and said, "But I have a new idea, I don't know if Cheng is interested." ”

Cheng Guoqing was slightly stunned for a moment, and then replied excitedly: "Yes, of course there is!" You say! ”

"Old rules," Ash turned on the recorder, "let's record a conversation, okay?" ”

Cheng Guoqing: "Okay. ”

Then, Ash said his new idea, "The framework of variety shows is still Internet celebrities, and they are used to attract customers, but it may be too monotonous for both of them to cook, and they still need a guide." However, in China's catering culture, the dishes are more famous than the chef, and it is not easy to choose a person who is very famous and authoritative in cooking. But – I'm going to recommend myself here. ”

"You want to be a chef for influencers?!" Cheng Guoqing understood quickly.

Ash: "Yes, how my cooking skills are, everyone who has come to Heng Restaurant during this period of time can see it. My master is a former master of Sichuan cuisine, and he is not an inexperienced newcomer, and most importantly, I can bring traffic. Now, I'm afraid the number of my Weibo followers will not be less than the Internet celebrity you are about to invite. ”

Speaking of which, Ash's thoughts were not completely finished, but she wanted to see Cheng Guoqing's opinion first. Because, if he can't even agree with this, he can just not say what he says next.

She looked at Cheng Guoqing quietly, waiting for the other party's answer, without urging at all.

Cheng Guoqing's eyes sank slightly, thinking carefully about Ash's proposal, this model is indeed novel. Recently, the fame of Shiheng Restaurant and herself is indeed not enough, just because Shiheng Restaurant has just been upgraded, she can be done by her to the current level, and her ability can be affirmed.

Since I sincerely want to do this food variety show, of course, I want to make it as high as possible in terms of ratings and as big as possible.

Cheng Guoqing didn't think about it for too long, and immediately made a decision, "Yes, I think this idea is good." Then, the judges should invite professional chefs to increase the authority of the show. ”

"Nope." Ash denied Cheng Guoqing's idea, "Actually, the most authoritative judge of the dishes is not the chef, but the guest." No matter how top-notch the chef is, the ultimate goal of their cooking is to send it out for customers to taste. Therefore, my second suggestion is that the judges simply withdraw this item and open up the seats for the audience to participate in person. ”

Cheng Guoqing felt that this idea was very interesting, and an idea flashed through his mind, saying: "We can find a restaurant for long-term cooperation, and then directly let some guests order the dishes made by Internet celebrities!" ”

As he spoke, he instantly understood Ash's thoughts, and said excitedly: "You want to cooperate with our program team as the small boss of Shiheng Restaurant, right?!" ”

The other party is really a smart person, and he can understand it at one point.

Ash smiled and said lightly: "Yes, I hope to expand the façade of Shiheng Restaurant a little more, and dedicate an area to cooperate with you." Regarding the part of customer ordering, there is no need to make them go to great lengths to order dishes made by Internet celebrities, just order the dishes on my A menu, and I will check it and then serve it out. ”

Cheng Guoqing's eyes widened in surprise and asked, "However, your innovative dish has not been on the market for a long time, aren't you afraid that after the program team broadcasts, the recipe will be leaked?" ”

Ash: "Of course I'm not afraid, I said it's menu A, menu B is already under development, and the menu of the restaurant will be renovated in three months." And by then, the recording of food variety shows should also come to an end, right? ”

At this point, Cheng Guoqing really admired the little girl in front of him, and also understood why Reporter Wang liked her so much.

"So, what are your conditions?" He asked.

Ash said bluntly, "The expansion of the restaurant is a win-win situation, and we will pay for this part of the cost." But I attended the show mentor and gave me the funds for the show, you just give it to me at the market price. As for the cooperation with the restaurant, because I also want to use the program team to promote and enhance my reputation, we can talk about a friendship price. Mr. Cheng, what do you think of these proposals? ”

"Okay, I'll go back and draft a new contract tonight, do you have anything else to mention?" Cheng Guoqing felt that he was about to become a little fan of Ash, and he had completely followed her thinking.

Ash smiled and said, "The last proposal, it's not too early, let's go home and rest first." ”

"Hahahaha," Cheng Guoqing laughed happily, "Xixi, I really like it, I'm glad I didn't miss you as a partner, I wish us a happy cooperation!" ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Ash, which was just his habitual action after talking to the client, and at the moment, he didn't know whether it was appropriate or not, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.

Ash smiled brightly, shook his hand briefly, and said, "Happy cooperation." ”

As a result, the contract between Ash and Cheng Guoqing was half-reached.

*

In the next period of time, Cheng Guoqing asked the program team to invite ten Internet celebrities, five men and five women, and asked them to have more or less some cooking experience.

While he was negotiating contracts with those people and negotiating the time, Ash was not idle, she was already working on the second upgrade of the restaurant.

This time, she directly bought the house opposite Wanfu Building, of course, it was not her money, it was her father Ai Shiheng's money.

The restaurant wants to expand its façade, she wants to participate in the variety show recording, and let the restaurant participate in it, such a major matter, Ash naturally went home in advance to discuss with her family.

Mother Lian Yuyan spent a lot of effort, and she still didn't agree in the end, but once again, under the unity of the three generations of Ash, Ai Shiheng and Ai Zhongkun's ancestors and grandchildren, she reluctantly compromised.

After Wanfu Building was closed for rectification, it was basically abandoned, so when Ash wanted to take down these two small buildings, he didn't have much effort.

It has just been renovated for a short time, and only needs to be renovated twice, and Ai Shiheng directly contacted the last decoration team. Because it is a small branch of Shiheng Restaurant, it is still in accordance with the previous decoration style, and it also saves a lot of time in design.

It's just that only the lower floor is left here as a dining place, and the entire second floor is to be used as a kitchen for variety shows. Ash is going to transform this place into a foreign-style open kitchen, although the Chinese food is smoky, but the entire second floor does not accept customers, and it is all used as a back kitchen, so it will not have much impact.

Ash and Cheng Guoqing are carried out separately, and both sides are progressing in an orderly manner, and it is estimated that this variety show will start recording and broadcasting in a month.

At that time, it was already late May, and the second half of the semester was almost in the second half of the semester, and it was a leisurely exam week until June.

Fortunately, when Ash first reformed Shiheng Restaurant, she took into account the time of classes, and almost always chose to open in the evening from Monday to Friday, and only occasionally had classes in the evening, she switched to noon.

In this way, she still has enough time to record the food column, after all, it won't take long for such a food variety show to be officially recorded.

Even if you have to teach those Internet celebrities in private in advance, so that customers can eat better tasting dishes, those can be handed over to Cheng Guoqing for adjustment.

At the same time, Ash also began to promote the new façade on the official website, official WeChat and official Weibo of Shiheng Restaurant, and announced that he would cooperate with Cheng Guoqing and his company to launch the food variety show "Cooking Battle".

Yes, after they discussed it, they changed "Cooking Competition" to "Cooking Battle" because the latter is more relevant.

Of course, the program team has not announced the recording form of the variety show for the time being, and the Internet celebrities have only announced one or two to come out to stir up the popularity in advance.

Both parties have been conscientiously promoting and preparing, and finally, the upgrade of Shiheng Restaurant has been completed, and the first episode of "Cooking Wars" is about to be recorded!
