Wang Zhuo didn't have any time to rest, and while the competition was in full swing, the Chinese restaurant was officially put into operation with the help of Jiao Qiming and Qin's sister-in-law.
On the day of the opening ceremony, the Knicks players came to cheer on the court, Anthony also brought his wife Lara Wazquez, Lin Yao and Anila brought a large number of Juilliard students, not only that, but also Zen masters, Mills and Rambis were also present to celebrate.
Half a season of coaching career, Wang Zhuo has become a household name in New York City, hot sports star, his every move has attracted media attention, and now he invested in the opening of a Chinese restaurant, naturally there are many media reporters to follow up and report, plus the celebration is also mostly celebrities in the sports world, but also attracted countless eyes to focus, the crowd of people even caused a short traffic jam.
Sister-in-law Qin looked at the crowd of onlookers in front of the restaurant, and her heart blossomed, opening a restaurant can have such a big pomp, which is also unheard of by her, the same is to open a restaurant, one is open in the bustling downtown with traffic, and the other is open in the inaccessible sheep intestine lane; A media focus, celebrities gather, a bird does not lay eggs, a dog does not come to the door; You can also figure it out with your toes, which makes money and which doesn't.
As the saying goes, "It's good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree". Jiao Qiming couldn't help but be amazed, admired Wang Zhuo's appeal so much, and secretly rejoiced that he could climb Wang Zhuo's towering tree.
Wang Zhuo not only understands the star effect, but also makes good use of marketing methods, and held an opening ceremony on the first day of business, with half price of food, and also wore a chef's uniform, and went to the kitchen in person, so that all customers can taste the most authentic Chinese dishes.
The customers sent away a wave, and ushered in the next wave, the crowd was endless, Wang Zhuo was busy in the kitchen for more than four hours, and ordinary people would have been unable to bear it for a long time, but Wang Zhuo seemed to have inexhaustible physical strength and energy.
None of the guests who came to dine did not praise Wang Zhuo's good cooking skills, which made Sister-in-law Qin both happy and a little worried, happy that she did not have to worry about the restaurant's operating income and repeat customers, worried that her cooking skills were not good, and she was afraid of smashing Wang Zhuo's golden signboard, after all, Wang Zhuo was a busy man, and it was impossible to stay in the restaurant every day to cook.
"Lin, congratulations, you have changed from a waiter in the restaurant to the proprietress of the restaurant!"
Anne was still as poisonous as ever, in front of everyone, she made fun of Lin Yao without any scruples, making Lin Yao's face flushed, which made everyone present laugh.
After tasting Wang Zhuo's craftsmanship, Lara Wazquez was full of praise and said that when she returned to the TV station, she must apply to the leader and invite Wang Zhuo to do a program on the TV station.
After the person in charge of the domestic ZJ Satellite TV learned of Wang Zhuo's attainments in food, he called and wanted to invite Wang Zhuo to shoot a food reality show to replace Nicholas Tse's "Twelve Sharp Flavors".
"Wang Zhuo, hello, I'm Yao Ming, are you free? I would like to come and visit. ”
Just two days after the official opening of the Chinese restaurant, Wang Zhuo received a strange phone call, and after connecting, Yao Ming's honest and honest voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Of course, Yao Ming, welcome at any time!"
Wang Zhuo didn't expect it to be Yao Ming, and while surprised, he expressed a warm welcome.
The two chatted on the phone for a few words, without talking too much, and after hanging up the phone, Wang Zhuo sent his address to Yao Ming through a text message.
In fact, Wang Zhuo has always wanted to find a chance to meet Yao Ming, but on the one hand, there is not enough time, on the other hand, there is a lack of opportunities to meet, Yao Ming rarely appears on the court after retiring, but Wang Zhuo has to lead the team to run around, shuttling back and forth between home and away.
"Hi Yao Ming, please come in."
The day after Yao Ming received the short message, he knocked on the door of Wang Zhuo's house, Wang Zhuo pushed the door open, and the first thing that caught his eye was Yao Ming's chest, but he quickly reacted and enthusiastically invited Yao Ming into the living room.
"Wang Zhuo, I learned your contact information from Coach Thibodeau, and I wanted to contact you a long time ago, but you have been busy with the playoffs, and I can't bother, so it has been delayed until now, the performance of the Knicks this season is really amazing, I really didn't expect that there would be such a great head coach as you among the Chinese!"
Yao Ming sat down, took a cup of West Lake Longjing handed over by Wang Zhuo, tasted it, and then talked eloquently.
"You're welcome, Yao Ming, congratulations on your official induction into the Snaith Hall of Fame, which is a proud thing and a proud thing for all Chinese!"
Yao Ming's induction ceremony into the Hall of Fame was in early April, and Wang Zhuo did not show up, but watched the live broadcast on TV, and he was genuinely happy for Yao Ming, and he was also proud of being Chinese.
"Thank you, Wang Zhuo, Chinese people often say that nothing is not to go to the Three Treasures Palace, I take the liberty to disturb and ask if you are considering joining Team Rocket, I know this is very rude, but I always have to give an explanation to others, of course, I really want to make you a friend!"
Referring to the Hall of Fame, Yao Ming's smile revealed a trace of pride that could not be concealed, and after thanking Wang Zhuo, he told the purpose of his trip.
"Yao Ming, I am a die-hard fan of the Rockets during the Yao Mai period, you should understand that it is a complex of Chinese people, but now it is different, people are eager to meet people who appreciate themselves, just like Maxima is eager to meet Bole, isn't it? I'm lucky to have met someone who appreciates me, so I'm sorry to disappoint you, I haven't thought about leaving the Knicks for the time being, but I'm sure you're a friend like you! ”
Wang Zhuo knew that Yao Ming was humble and honest, so he knew how to euphemistically refuse with emotion and reason.
In Wang Zhuo's view, the management of the Rockets is too unlikable, Alexander and Morey are businessmen who put interests first, and it seems that the championship has never been the goal of pursuit, although Dolan is also a businessman, but he can follow Wang Zhuo's advice, and firmly believes that Wang Zhuo can make the Knicks better.
"I know, it's difficult for a gentleman not to be strong, and we will become friends who talk about everything!"
Yao Ming didn't show a disappointed look, it seems that he had expected the result a long time ago, maybe he didn't want Wang Zhuo to leave the Knicks in his heart, if he really left because of a big contract, it would be disappointing.
"Yao Ming, don't you mind if I copy you, I follow your example and open a Chinese restaurant in New York, do you want to sit down and have a cup of afternoon tea?"
Yao Ming got up to leave, and when Wang Zhuo sent him out, he said in a slightly joking tone.
"It's a long time coming, there are many opportunities, when you go to Houston, I invite you to Yao Restaurant to eat your mother's dishes."
Yao Ming responded to Wang Zhuo with a smile, I have to say that Yao Ming's communication skills are indeed first-class, but he is very sincere when facing Wang Zhuo.
"Mommy's cooking?" Wang Zhuo silently recited a sentence and fell into a brief contemplation.
