Lin Yiren has also followed Yang Chen to many high-end occasions, and she knows that she can give more money to get priority services.

Waiter: "If you want to get Mr. Marshall's services urgently, you need to pay 5,000 yuan to make an appointment." When Mr. Marshalle finishes his ongoing service, he will come over to provide services to the two of them. ”

Yang Chen: "Then will he add extra money to the dishes he makes?" ”

Waiter: "It's definitely a little more expensive than the average chef's cooking, after all, he's a three-Michelin-starred chef." If you want to eat the food he cooks, you must pay more. ”

No way!

That's outrageous, isn't it?

When you go to the hospital to see a doctor, the expert number is a little more expensive, but the cost of testing, taking medicine and other expenses is the same price.

Not only did they ask for a registration fee, but they also had to increase the cost of testing and medicine after the test, which was a bit ugly.

Yang Chen has never been afraid of spending money, his motto is that problems that can be solved with money are not problems, but he can't accept being cheated for money.

Yang Chen: "Who made this rule?" ”

Waiter: "It's a rule that our store manager and Mr. Marshall have agreed upon. ”

This is Xinrong Ji, not Yang Chen's Tang Pavilion.

The other party clearly marked the price, and Yang Chen couldn't help it, he could eat if he could accept it, and leave if he couldn't accept it.

If Yang Chen made a fuss here, people would think that he was deliberately trying to make trouble.

Yang Chen: "Okay! Give him 5,000 yuan for the registration fee, and come to us immediately after the end of the current service. ”

Lin Yiren: "Forget it, don't eat it." Tang Pavilion doesn't need a registration fee, what kind of registration fee is there here, the food is too ugly. ”

At this time, Zhao Kang, the manager not far away, happened to hear Lin Yiren's words, and hurriedly walked over.

The waiter whispered to Zhao Kang to report the situation, and then stood aside.

Zhao Kang said with a smile: "Mr. Marshall is a three-star Michelin chef who has just come from France, and there are many customers who want to enjoy his services, so we can only set some thresholds to ensure that customers with real taste can enjoy his services." ”

This is really learned, and taste here equals wealth.

Lin Yiren: "It's understandable to set the threshold, and I also told the waiter that you can add money." But you can't pay the registration fee first, and you have to increase the price of testing and medicine. This is a bit outrageous, and the appearance is too ugly. Tang Pavilion is also a three-Michelin restaurant, why don't people want any registration fees? ”

Zhao Kang: "Haha...... It's not right for beauties to be compared like this. We are a three-star Michelin restaurant, and Tang Court is about to be downgraded to a two-star restaurant, so it definitely can't compare with us. ”

Well?

Tang Pavilion is going to be demoted?

Why didn't Tan Hongkai report to Yang Chen?

Yang Chen: "Who did you listen to say that Tang Pavilion is going to be demoted?" ”

Zhao Kang looked secretive and said, "I can't tell the two of you about this, I can only tell you that Tang Ge will be demoted soon." As soon as tonight, at the slowest at noon tomorrow, the downgrade notice will come down. ”

Michelin Ratings has a professional jury, and members will come to the target restaurant "incognito" to enjoy the service, score according to the service, and give a rating on the spot.

If everything follows the standard process, no one knows which restaurant will receive what rating until the moment the rating is in, and absolute fairness and impartiality can be guaranteed.

But isn't it strange that Zhao Kang, as the manager of Xinrongji, could know in advance that Tang Ge was going to be demoted to a two-star restaurant?

He certainly didn't have the ability to predict the future, and the only explanation was that he and the judges had agreed to downgrade Tang Pavilion to a two-star restaurant.

In this way, Xinrong Ji has become the only three-star Michelin restaurant in the Dragon Kingdom, and those rich people will definitely give priority to spending here in the future, and they will rarely go to Tang Pavilion again.

For wealthy people, even if the dishes are the same, they are willing to spend more money to eat in a three-star restaurant, and they will not be willing to spend less money to eat in a two-star restaurant or even no star.

It's not just a matter of eating, it's also a matter of face.

It's like some people would rather spend tens of thousands of dollars on an LV air vest than a few thousand dollars on a regular brand down vest.

Yang Chen has never thought about the key to Xinrong Ji, and has always adhered to the principle of fair competition and management according to his ability, and the competitor here wants to do something to his Tang Pavilion.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Okay, you can ask the chef to come over and cook for us." ”

Zhao Kang: "Okay, you two wait a minute, come right away." ”

After Zhao Kang and the waiter left, Lin Yiren whispered: "Brother Chen, why are you still eating with them?" ”

Yang Chen: "It's all here, eat it first." I'm curious how he knew in advance that Tang Ge would be demoted, and I'll ask when I have the opportunity. ”

Lin Yiren nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Soon the waiter came with the new Samsung chef Marshall.

Marshall also deliberately learned the Dragon Mandarin, but it is not very standard.

Marshall: "Two distinguished guests, let's go to the box if it's convenient." I can cook for two VIPs in person. ”

Yang Chen nodded, got up and hugged Lin Yiren and followed the waiter and Marshall to the box.

Marshall is from France, and his cuisine is mainly French.

First of all, let's set the smoked silver carp, oysters, bread and other appetizers, and then the classic pan-fried foie gras, dry-fried milkfish, and some steamed eggs with black truffle.

Lin Yiren only ate half of every dish, and Yang Chen asked, "What's the matter, isn't it appetizing?" ”

Lin Yiren smiled charmingly, and whispered close to Yang Chen's ear: "It's not that it's unappetizing, I always feel that something is missing." Could it be that my endocrine imbalance is causing my sense of taste to be insensitive? ”

Yang Chen held back a smile and said, "Then what should I do, do I need to send you to the hospital to see?" ”

Lin Yiren: "You don't have to go to the hospital, you can just give me a few hundred injections." ”

Yang Chen couldn't hold back his laughter, he quickly wiped his mouth with a piece of paper, and said, "It's too much!" Who to look down on? Can a few hundred stitches work? As far as my brother's body is concerned, can it be finished without two thousand stitches? ”

Lin Yiren: "Hee-hee...... You're trying to murder me. I'm just treating endocrine, not trying to die. ”

Marshall finished cooking a large meal, and when he saw that there was a lot left over from the Lin Yi people, he hurriedly asked, "This beautiful lady, is my cooking not good enough?" Why are you so much left? ”

Lin Yiren explained with a smile: "Maybe I don't have an appetite. ”

Marshall: "Oh, that's a shame to waste such a good meal." ”

This foreigner really can't speak, how can he say in front of the guests that the leftovers of the guests are wasted?

Lin Yiren: "I'm sorry, I really can't eat it." We will pay for these in full, and the disposal right is in our hands, so don't say anything about waste or waste in your restaurant, right? ”

Marshall raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Oh? Can you tell me why you can't eat it, lady? Can you comment on my cooking? ”

Lin Yiren: "Villain, you can give him a review." ”

Yang Chen smiled and said, "We are diners, not gourmets, and we don't make reviews." If you don't eat it, let's go. ”

Lin Yiren nodded, took his bag and stood up.

Yang Chen beckoned the waiter to come over, swiped the card to pay and left.

Marshall didn't give up, and even chased after Lin Yiren to ask her to tell her what was wrong.

From his point of view, it can be understood that he cares about the feelings of his customers and strives for excellence in his cooking.

But from the customer's point of view, his behavior is harassment.

Yang Chen: "Mr. Chef, it's not good that you're pestering the guests so much, right?" ”

Marshalles: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I don't mean to offend. I just wanted to hear from this pretty lady what was wrong with my food. If she doesn't say what's wrong, my heart is as uncomfortable as an ant crawling. ”

Yang Chen: "Don't talk about anything else, your black truffle steamed egg still has room to rise." I've seen a three-star chef's steamed eggs with black truffle without any pores, none at all. I just noticed that you made a steamed egg with black truffle, which has a small amount of tiny pores. There is a difference in taste between having pores and not having pores, you should know this, right? ”

Marshall: "Can anyone make a black truffle steamed egg with no pores at all?" ”

Yang Chen nodded.

Marshall: "Not a single blowhole? ”

Yang Chen nodded.

Yang Chen went downstairs with Lin Yiren in his arms, and Yu Shishi called him.

Yu Shishi: "Sir, just now the courier sent a big envelope, which says that it was sent by Michelin Group. ”

Yang Chen: "Oh, open it and take a look, it should be the equity transfer book and other materials." ”

Yu Shishi: "Huh? Sir, have you acquired the Michelin Group again? ”

Yang Chen: "That's right! If you are idle and have nothing to do, you can acquire a few more Fortune 500 companies to have fun. ”

Yu Shishi: "Sir, you are really amazing. ”

Yang Chen: "Haha...... Hang up, I'm busy here. ”

Yang Chen hung up the phone, and Lin Yiren hurriedly asked, "Did you buy Michelin?" ”

Yang Chen: "That's right! In the future, which restaurant you like to eat, we will make him a three-star star. Whichever chef you want to eat, we can also make him a three-star chef. ”

"Hee-hee...... Honey, you're awesome. Lin Yiren said happily, standing on tiptoe and kissing Yang Chen.

Marshall was stunned for a few seconds and then chased after him, he still wanted to hear Yang Chen say what the shortcomings of his dishes were.

At this time, Li Mao, the boss of Xinrongji, and Zhao Kang, the manager, were chatting with a few people.

Seeing Marshall coming down, Zhao Kang hurriedly waved his hand and beckoned, "Mr. Chef, come over quickly." The Michelin jury is here to rate our restaurant and you. ”

Sure enough, as Yang Chen expected, Michelin's jury had an inexplicable relationship with Xinrongji.

They now rate Xinrongji three stars, and then go to Tang Pavilion at noon tomorrow to rate two stars, and in the future, there will only be one three-star restaurant in Xinrongji.

Marshall hurried over to say hello to the jury.

The boss Li Mao recognized Yang Chen, and there was a hint of shock on his face.

"Boss Yang, why are you here?" Li Mao asked.

Yang Chen: "I heard that Mr. Li has a new three-star chef here, and my girlfriend and I came over to try his skills." ”

Zhao Kang: "Mr. Li, who is this?" ”

Li Mao: "He is the boss of Tang Pavilion, Yang Chen, President Yang. ”

Zhao Kang was suddenly shocked, and shook hands with Yang Chen with an embarrassed smile.

Yang Chen said with a smile: "Manager Zhao is too polite. You're busy, I'll see the excitement. Looking at Mr. Li's happy expression, Xinrongji must have retained the three-star rating. ”

Li Mao laughed and said, "Good luck, good luck." Thanks to the arrival of Mr. Marshall, our restaurant was able to retain its three-star rating without any danger. ”

The jury immediately announced in public that Sun Rong Kee had been awarded a three-star rating for the next year and presented a certificate.

It seems that I am very well prepared, and I even have the certificate with me.

Li Mao was very happy to hold up the certificate and announced loudly: "I am very happy today. In order to celebrate the continuation of the Michelin three-star rating of Xinrong Kee, half price at noon today! ”

The guests immediately applauded and cheered, wishing the new Rong Ji a successful renewal.

The head of the jury, Leo Lubis, said to Yang Chen: "Hello, Mr. Yang, I am the head of the jury of the Longguo District. I happened to meet you today, very unexpectedly. However, we still hope that Mr. Yang will treat us as if he has never seen us, and don't let Tang Ge deliberately show us a good side. We need to see the most authentic side of Tang Pavilion, not only the hygienic environment, but also the service of the waiters, the state of the guests, the craftsmanship of the chefs and so on. If you inform them to prepare in advance for our inspection, we will deduct points at our discretion, which will prevent Tang Court from obtaining a high rating, and the responsibility lies with you. ”

Yang Chen: "You don't have to pretend, haven't you already made a decision to demote Tang Pavilion?" ”

Rio Lubius was in such a good state of mind, and asked with a smile on his face, "What does Mr. Yang mean by this?" Why can't I understand? Are you questioning the fairness of our Michelin? ”

Yang Chen: "Manager Zhao just told me that soon Tang Pavilion will be demoted, and Xinrong Ji will become the only three-Michelin star restaurant in the mainland of Longnai." He also set the time, and tonight or tomorrow at noon coincided with the time that Mr. Rio Lubis had just spoken. ”

Zhao Kang was suddenly shocked, his eyes dodged and he didn't dare to look at people.

The boss Li Mao glared at him angrily and blamed: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”

Zhao Kang: "I...... I didn't know he was the boss of Tang Pavilion. I ......"

Li Mao immediately interrupted: "Shut up!" I don't care about you! ”

Zhao Kang quickly turned around and walked away.

Yang Chen: "Mr. Li, you don't have to pretend at this time." I want to hear from you, did you bribe them to deliberately demote my Tang Pavilion? ”

Li Mao hurriedly denied it: "No, Mr. Yang don't talk nonsense." ”

Yang Chen: "If you admit it generously, I still admire you as a man." What kind of man is he who dares to do it? A few of you said, were you bought by them? As long as you are honest, I will give you a chance to mend your ways. If you're not honest, your only chance is gone. ”

Leo Lubis and the others were scared and didn't dare to speak.

Li Mao continued to quibble: "Mr. Yang, what you said is boring!" Everyone operates according to their own abilities, why do you have to discredit me? Our three-star rating is judged by the jury in strict accordance with the rules, why should you deprive it? ”

Yang Chen: "If I buy Michelin Group, can I deprive you of your rating?" ”

"Haha......" Li Mao laughed.

The people around him laughed too.

The boss of Tang Pavilion must be very rich, and no one denies this.

But what is the existence of the Michelin Group?

With a market value of 30 billion meters of gold, the world's second largest tire manufacturer, ordinary people who have expensive tires are reluctant to use them, and it is impossible for a restaurant owner to acquire such a large group in a few lifetimes.

Rio Lubis: "Mr. Yang, you may not know much about our group. In addition to ......"

Yang Chen immediately interrupted: "I don't need you to give me popular science, you just need to admit it or not." ”

Rio Lubis: "How can I admit something I haven't done?" ”

Yang Chen: "I only need those words that Zhao Kang said, as for whether I wronged you, I don't care." ”

After speaking, Yang Chen called Yu Shishi.

Yu Shishi: "Hey, sir, what's wrong, is there something wrong?" ”

Yang Chen: "Call the Michelin Group and ask them to cancel the judging qualifications of the Leo Lubis gang and permanently block the new Rongji." Tang Ge does not need to be reviewed in the future, and will automatically receive a permanent three-star rating. ”

Yu Shishi: "Okay, I'll do it right away." ”

Li Mao's expression became nervous, and he didn't look like he was joking.

Could it be that he really bought Michelin?

Rio Lubis and the others also looked at each other, and they could clearly see the panic in each other's eyes.

Li Mao smiled and said tentatively: "Mr. Yang, you're not acting, are you?" Did you really buy the Michelin Group? ”

Yang Chen: "Just check the latest announcement of Michelin Group's equity change. ”

Li Mao felt that it made sense, and quickly took out his mobile phone to check it.

Everyone else also hurriedly took out their mobile phones to inquire about the latest equity changes of Michelin Group.

Michelin Group has just released an announcement of equity changes, and they quickly clicked on it to take a look.

A lot of people don't know French, and Eagle isn't very bright, but they can see 67%, Chen.Yang, etc.

"The announcement said that a person named Yang Chen from Longguo bought 67% of the Michelin Group and became the controlling shareholder of the group."

"Is this Chen.Yang him?"

"Foreigners write their names differently than we are used to, they are first and last names. According to their way of writing, the name of this big guy's dragon country should be Yang Chen, Yang Chen, Yang Chen, etc. ”

"That must be him, he just called someone to contact Michelin, it must not be wrong."

"Holy! The big guy is the big guy, in order to keep Tang Ge's three-star rating, he spent more than 100 billion yuan to acquire 67% of Michelin's equity. Now he has absolute control over Michelin, and his word is a holy decree, and he can decide what to do without consulting anyone. ”

……

The diners cast envious and adoring glances at Yang Chen, the way rich people do things is so simple, so simple that it is shocking.

Li Mao slowly raised his head and looked at Yang Chen with a look of shock + confusion.

"In order to keep Tang Ge's star rating, you actually spent money to acquire 67% of Michelin's shares?" Li Mao questioned.

Yang Chen: "Isn't it okay?" It's not very expensive, I can give it to whoever I like Samsung in the future, and I can control the world's second-largest tire company, isn't it great? ”

Li Mao: "It's good, but how can you have so much money?" My new Rongji was opened many years earlier than Tang Pavilion, and I only have a few hundred million assets, how can you have more than 100 billion? ”

Yang Chen: "You don't need to know this. ”

At this time, the secretary of the Michelin board of directors called Rio Lubis.

Secretary of the Board: "Mr. Lubis, I now officially inform you that you and your team have been immediately suspended by the company due to work style problems. Please return to Headquarters immediately for investigation without delay. Also, take back the three-star rating certificate you gave to Sun Rong Kee and inform them that Sun Rong Kee has been permanently blocked by Michelin. Do you understand? ”

Leo Lubis was stunned for a few seconds, and then hurriedly asked, "Miss Secretary Dong, can I ask why?" ”

Secretary of the Board of Directors: "The order personally sent by the secretary of Mr. Yang, the new controlling shareholder of the group, does not need to have a reason. You just do what I say. ”

Rio Lubis is now finally dead, and Yang Chen has really bought a 67% stake in the Michelin Group.

"Okay, Miss Secretary Dong, I know what to do." Rio Lubis said decadently.

After hanging up the phone, Leo Lubis hurriedly bowed to Yang Chen and said, "Mr. Yang, I know it's wrong, please bear with me, and you must give me a chance to mend my ways." Please. Come, everyone hurriedly returned the money collected to Mr. Li. ”

After speaking, all the members of the jury took out the check and stuffed it into Li Mao's hand.

Good fellow, this horse-stomper has been stolen, so I can't quibble.

However, even if they take the initiative to return the stolen money and apologize and admit their mistakes, it will no longer help.

Yang Chen gave them a chance just now, and they missed the only opportunity.

Now I know that it is too late to admit my mistake and beg for mercy!

Yang Chen: "I just gave you a chance, but you don't want it." Do what the secretary of the board of directors explains. ”

After speaking, Yang Chen hugged Lin Yiren and left.

Rio Lubis bowed to Yang Chen again, and then said loudly to his companions: "Take back the three-star rating certificate of Xinrongji, and block Xinrongji forever!" Then I went back to the headquarters to report and be investigated by the headquarters. ”

Li Mao panicked and hurriedly caught up with Yang Chen.

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang, please stay, please stay. Let's talk to my office. Please, please. Li Mao said humbly.

Yang Chen: "Just now, as long as you admit to buying them, I will really give you a chance." After all, with your Xinrongji as an opponent, Tang Ge can always be motivated. If you can't even evaluate it, in the future, there will be only one brand in the whole continent, Tang Ge, which is Samsung, and we will have a feeling of being alone and seeking defeat, how boring it is. It's a pity that you dare to do it, it's too disappointing for me. ”

Li Mao: "It's my fault, it's my fault." I apologize to Mr. Yang, and please give me another chance. ”

Yang Chen ignored him and sent Lin Yiren to the car.

At this time, Marshall ran over and said, "Mr. Yang, can I go to work in Tang Pavilion?" I'm a three-Michelin-starred chef, so it's only natural that I want to work in a three-Michelin-starred restaurant. In addition, I would like to ask you about the master who can make steamed eggs with black truffles without any pores. In terms of salary, I can make some concessions, I only need half price, as long as Mr. Yang is willing to take me in. ”

Yang Chen: "You're a good person, it's actually quite good, but your emotional intelligence is a little insufficient, so you have to cultivate your emotional intelligence in the future." Okay, I'll give you a chance. You go directly to Tang Pavilion to report, and I'll say hello over there. ”

Marshall: "Thank you, Mr. Yang. Don't worry, I will not let you down, and I will definitely do a good job in Tang Pavilion. ”

Yang Chen nodded with a smile and said, "Well, I'm optimistic about you." Let's go. ”

After speaking, Yang Chen got into his car and drove away with Lin Yiren one after the other.

Li Mao looked at Yang Chen's car butt and sighed resentfully.

"Mr. Marshall, your contract with us hasn't expired yet, how can you just leave?" Li Mao asked.

Marshall: "Our contract is very clear, I work at the three-Michelin-starred restaurant Sun Rong Kee. Now Xinrong Ji is not only not Samsung, but also permanently blocked by Michelin, which means that your restaurant has not met the contract conditions, and you are the first to breach the contract, why can't I go? ”

Li Mao: "I'm grass!" Is this Nima okay too? If you're so unreasonable, I'll sue you. ”

Marshall: "No problem, you can sue me, and I will respond positively." I'm leaving, bye-bye. Oh, by the way, I should have to give me a hint of my salary, otherwise I will go to arbitration, and if necessary, I will ask the embassy to intervene to help. ”

After saying that, Marshall went in to change his clothes and left.

Li Mao gritted his teeth angrily, clenched his fists and punched the pillar next to him.

At this time, the diners in the restaurant also took action.

"This has been permanently blocked by Michelin, isn't it even worse than a star? That's still a hair, don't eat it, return the card, and won't come in the future! ”

"Return the card! Return the card! This restaurant is not of grade at all, who wants to come to eat. ”

"Isn't it good to compete properly? It has to be bad. Okay now, right? Lifting a stone to shoot itself in the foot, a good three-star restaurant has just withdrawn from the stage of history. ”

"The big guy is powerful, a phone call can decide the life and death of a high-end restaurant. It would be nice if I had this kind of ability, I can't imagine how cool it would be. ”

……

Watching the customers rush to the cashier to return the card, Li Mao was about to cry uncomfortably.

You can't have bad intentions, otherwise you will definitely reap the consequences.

I originally wanted to make Xinrongji the only one in the Dragon Country Continent, but I didn't expect it to be smashed, and it was smashed to pieces.

However, after all, he is the owner of a three-star restaurant that has been in business for many years, and Li Mao is definitely not willing to accept his fate like this.

After running a restaurant for so many years, he has more or less accumulated some network resources.

Now is the time to take it out and put it to use.

Li Mao hurriedly shouted loudly: "Distinguished guests, don't be impatient. Don't panic, I assure you that the three-star rating of Xinrong Ji will be successfully obtained. Everyone gave me a few days, and if I didn't fulfill my promise, it wouldn't be too late for everyone to return the card. All right? ”

The customers didn't save him any face.

"Don't lie! If you don't retreat today, you ran away overnight, who are we retreating with? ”

"That's right! If you can really get the three-star rating, we will apply for the card later. Now we have to return the card, or we will call the police. ”

"You have offended the boss of Tang Pavilion, and you still want to get a three-star rating smoothly? You spent money to bribe these people to deliberately demote Tang Ge, you have no temper when you are a person? Besides, people have spent more than 100 billion yuan to control Michelin, and they must make good use of their privileges. Why did you ask him to re-assign a three-star rating to Xinrong Ji? ”

"Don't talk to him, return the card quickly! If he doesn't retreat, call the police directly! Where did you get so much nonsense to tell him! ”

……
