Chapter XXIX

Zhang Yao and the others didn't wait long, and when they saw Lin Yuan enter the house, everyone hurriedly got up and saluted Lin Yuan: "Meet the Duke of Yasukuni." Lin Yuan smiled and waved his hand and said, "Sit down." Everyone saw Lin Yuan sit down, and then returned to their respective positions.

"President Zhang's recent trading has been going well?" Lin Yuan looked at Zhang Yao on the side.

"Thanks to Grandpa Hongfu, the business is quite smooth." Zhang Yao said with a smile, everyone in the house looked at Zhang Yao with some envy, because the land of western Sichuan is difficult to pass, there is little interaction with the Central Plains, and few people can become feudal officials. Speaking of which, none of you here are self-made, but a lot of money is not always a good thing, no one is sheltered, and you will always be targeted by hungry wolves.

Some time ago, the West Sichuan Chamber of Commerce was still fat on the chopping board, and it looked like it was about to be swallowed up, but halfway through the killing, Zhang Yao's industry was not only not swallowed, but also became more and more prosperous, and this thigh hugging is really enviable.

"I don't know why my grandfather invited me to come?" Zhang Yao asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.

"I wonder if the shopkeepers know the hottest thing in Beijing recently?" Lin Yuan looked at the shopkeepers. Seeing that they were all thinking deeply, they were not in a hurry.

"I don't know what Grandpa is talking about, but it's an iron furnace that has been sold in Gyeonggi recently?" Afraid that Lin Yuan didn't know this, Zhang Yao whispered: "This is Wang Tao, the shopkeeper of Wang Ji, who is mainly engaged in knives, but most of them are used by ordinary people." There are several minerals in western Sichuan under his family's name, and our iron furnace also has iron and stone supplied by his family. Lin Yuan nodded.

"The shopkeeper Wang is well-informed, but this is not what Grandpa Ben said." Lin Yuan shook his head.

"The villain is abrupt." Wang Tao returned to his seat, and all the shopkeepers were puzzled, what are the big things in Beijing at the moment. Hao Yi seemed to remember something, and got up to look at Lin Yuan: "Hao Yi, the villain Sichuan Western Medicine Merchant, I don't know if what my grandfather said is the Luoxian Lou Kitchen God Competition?" ”

Lin Yuan looked at Hao Yi and nodded: "What Shopkeeper Hao said is right, this is what the national lord said." ”

"This event was initiated by the Guogong?" Hao Yi opened his mouth and regretted a little, although Jingzhong knew that Luoxian Tower held this competition, but it had always been privately rumored that it was actually organized by the Yasukuni Mansion, but the Yasukuni Mansion had not said it explicitly, so he said it so directly for fear of angering the Yasukuni Prince, "I still hope that Grandpa Haihan, it is the villain who is abrupt." ”

"It doesn't matter." Waving his hand to signal Hao Yi to sit down, Lin Yuan looked around for a moment, and then said: "Presumably all the shopkeepers know that the cooks in Gyeonggi these days, regardless of their reputation, have all gathered in Luoxian Mansion to participate in the Chef God Competition. My father doesn't hide it from you, and this thing is indeed being done. ”

Everyone below was talking, and they didn't know what Lin Yuan had to do with this matter. Seeing everyone looking at him, Lin Yuan said: "I guess you are curious, the national government is now telling you that there is a deal to discuss." Lin Yuan clapped his hands, and Cai Quan sent down the division of commercial enterprises that the young master said.

"Proposal?" Hao Yi looked at the cover curiously and slowly opened it. Zhang Yao didn't look at it, Lin Yuan asked, "Shopkeeper Zhang, don't you see what kind of deal it is?" ”

"The villain can trust the grandfather, if there is a need to send it." Zhang Yao said respectfully.

Lin Yuan smiled without saying a word, picked up the teacup and drank the tea, and at this moment there was only the sound of paper flipping through the room. The people present read it very carefully, but most of them were confused, and they couldn't make up their minds. But Hao Yi's eyes became brighter and brighter, not only the content of this thing, but also let him see a different future.

Putting down the plan in his hand, Hao Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and made up his mind that he must win this business. Thinking that the time was almost up, Lin Yuan coughed lightly: "Everyone, it's almost over, do you have any ideas?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, but they couldn't make up their minds, Wang Tao stood up: "Please tell grandpa in detail." ”

"That's it, I'll talk about it again." Lin Yuan knew that it was still a little difficult to expect them to accept it at one time, "This competition has begun, I want you to know how many people come to watch the game, the venue for the finals is about to be built, but how many people will come to see the three-day finals I don't say you know." ”

Seeing everyone nodding, Lin Yuan continued: "The cooperation model has been given to you, there are two kinds, one is sponsorship, only superficial cooperation, which means that you pay for it, and I will give you the opportunity to set up a brand on the field, but your store will definitely spread quickly and become known." The second mode is in-depth cooperation, although it still requires money, but it is one more than the previous model, and we will ask the contestants to use the products that you can provide during the competition. ”.

Lin Yuan stopped and didn't say anything more, observing everyone's expressions, and seeing that there were still people who were puzzled, he sighed in his heart. "I took over this business from Fuhetang." Lin Yuan looked at Hao Yi.

"Grandpa, I took over this deal." Lin Yuan looked at Hao Yi and asked, "I don't know what kind of cooperation model Hao wants from shopkeepers." ”

"Nature is the second." Hao Yi said, Lin Yuan nodded: "This plan Hao Shopkeeper has also seen it, and the second one is not only to give money and goods, but also to pay a deposit." ”

"The villain understands, but the reputation of my Fuhetang can't tolerate Hao Mou's fraud." Hao Yi bowed.

"Happy, Cai Quan took Shopkeeper Hao and Shopkeeper Zhang to sign a contract." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"Yes." Everyone saw Zhang Yao and Hao Yi follow them to the back hall, but they were still a little hesitant in their hearts, because no matter how you look at the plan in front of them, it means that the white wolf has empty gloves, not to mention the second type, only the first kind of so-called advertising space will cost three thousand taels. This is not a small amount of money for all the shopkeepers present.

Seeing this, Wang Tao gritted his teeth and stood up: "My Wang Ji also took it." As if he felt that he was not very determined, he added: "It is also the second type." "Wang Tao does not have the business experience of Hao Yi and Zhang Yao, he was born in iron, and he relies on the ruthlessness in his heart to do things.

"Okay, someone will take the shopkeeper to the back hall." Lin Yuan looked at everyone: "Everyone, according to the plan, we will only recruit these three in the second mode for the time being, if you still have the will, you can only participate in the first one." If it is decided, you can find Steward Lin. With that, he went to the back hall. There are some things that need to be explained to those three, and it's not worth wasting your time here.

"The king's shopkeeper is also here." Hao Yi looked at Wang Tao, if you talk about the gang of people outside, the most likely one is the one in front of you, a blacksmith background, to this point, even if he has no cultural vision, it is not much worse, but I don't know if this Wang shopkeeper is interested in this business or the favor of the Yasukuni Gong.

"The three of you have been waiting for a long time." Lin Yuan looked at the three of them with a smile.

"I'm not in a hurry, I don't know what else my grandfather has to order." Zhang Yao asked.

"There are some things to explain, this competition is special, and you need to wait to be prepared." Lin Yuan's words made the three of them chuckle in their hearts, and Zhang Yao looked at Lin Yuan: "Grandpa, it's okay to say it." ”

"There's a special guy coming to this competition." As he spoke, he tapped his finger upwards. Zhang Yao and the three of them thought for a moment and exclaimed: "But the holy ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Lin Yuan shake his head: "No, but it's from the palace, so you have to be prepared, don't use any defective products to deal with errands, if you mess up this competition, my Yasukuni Mansion can't afford to lose this face." ”

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and when they heard what the Duke of Yasukuni said, they hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Grandpa, I will never do anything to smash my own signboard." Secretly glancing at each other, the three of them knew that they had made a lot of money this time, and they could show their faces in front of nobles, what kind of advertising money was too worthwhile.

Sending the three of them out of the house, watching the three shopkeepers leave with a happy face, Lin Guangyuan walked from the front of the hall, walked to Lin Yuan's side and said, "Grandpa, the matter in front of the hall has also been decided, and four of them have signed an agreement." ”

"Got it, wait for the money to arrive and seal it and send it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Lin Yuan knew that as long as there were no major problems, most of the game had been completed, and after that, it would be up to the finals to see the effect.

"Got it, grandpa." Lin Guangyuan retreated.

A few days later, most of the chefs who had signed up for the competition had already completed the preliminary competition, and 12 people were selected from more than 300 people, which was really tired of Li Qingqian. After a few words of encouragement, he turned to look at the twelve people in front of him: "You guys prepare, the finals will start in two days, and three people will be selected to win the awards." ”

Looking at these people in front of him, Li Qingqian paused and said, "You guys are so prepared, and then Master Kangtong will taste the dishes." Everyone listened to Li Qingqian's words, their eyes lit up, most of the people present have been immersed in cooking for many years, and they have heard the name of Jiangnan Yidao, and they don't want Kang Tong to disappear for so many years, and now they have appeared in the capital again, and they have become the judges of this competition. The joy of the crowd can be imagined.

"Thank you, Miss Li." Everyone thanked Li Qingqian, Li Qingqian nodded and didn't say anything, turned around and left. She didn't need to participate in the rest of the matter, and it was time to take a break after her task was completed, as if she remembered something, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
