Chapter 529: Su Liancheng and Mei Ru's Difficulties (Second Update)
Although the cooking competition in Fu Jing Lou has ended, the after-dinner conversation has not ended.
In particular, Feng Yifan made a dish in the kitchen of Fujing Lou that only exists in the Dream of Red Mansions book in most people's impressions.
It was really surprising to everyone, and at the same time, it was talked about by many people.
Even after the cooking competition, the search and attention of "Chicken Marrow Bamboo Shoots" on the Internet once surpassed the competition itself.
Feng Yifan's name also appeared on the hot search list along with "Chicken Marrow Bamboo Shoots".
Of course, some of the popularity brought by this has also made Fujinglou famous, and Zhang Fenglin and Qi Deqiang, who have become the chefs of Fujinglou, have also attracted a lot of attention.
There were some discussions and heated discussions on the Internet, and everyone was very curious, it turned out that the dishes in the book Dream of Red Mansions could really be made.
"Wow, I really don't know if I don't look at it, it turns out that the dishes in the Dream of Red Mansions can really be made. ”
"Well, I heard from a friend at the scene that that dish tasted very good. ”
"Yes, I watched the video, and the Zhuang Daozhong in the video is a well-known master of the state banquet, and he also said it himself, the chicken pith bamboo shoots made by Chef Feng are completely in line with the 'salty, fresh, and crispy' depicted in the book. ”
"Sure enough, he is worthy of being a five-star chef, and even the dishes in the Dream of Red Mansions can be restored. ”
"Otherwise, why don't people participate in the competition?"
"Hahaha, the judges are not allowed to participate. ”
"That's right, that's right, the judges went out in person, and that was really too much. ”
"Have you heard? It seems that Chef Feng agreed, and will teach some Red Mansion dishes to the two chefs of Fujinglou, and let them preside over Fujinglou's cooking of Red Mansion dishes. ”
"Wow, that Fujinglou is really going to be developed. ”
"In the past, Fujinglou was a well-known restaurant in Huaicheng, but now with Red Mansion cuisine, the reputation of Fujinglou is probably going to become the top in the country, right?"
"This is not necessarily, it depends on how the operators of Fujing Building operate in the future. ”
......
Some heated discussions on the Internet, the topic slowly evolved from the dish of chicken pith bamboo shoots to the discussion of Feng Yifan and the discussion of the future operation of Fujinglou.
As the operators of Fujinglou, Su Liancheng and Mei Ru also quickly convened the company's senior management after Feng Yifan promised to put some of the red mansion dishes in Fujinglou, and discussed the direction of Fujinglou's next operation, wanting to determine a suitable direction.
At the meeting, the senior management of the restaurant group did not attach much importance to Fujing Building at the beginning.
In the eyes of many group executives, Fujinglou is just a restaurant in Huaicheng, not to mention in China, even in the province is not a very well-known city.
Therefore, in the eyes of many restaurant group executives, there is no need to spend too much energy because of Fujinglou.
A vice president of the group said very bluntly: "Mr. Xiao Su and Vice President Mei, you have been staying in China for too long, and most of our group's business is overseas, so I think you should not continue to stay in China, but should come back as soon as possible and focus more on overseas markets." ”
The deputy was always a foreigner, and there was nothing wrong with his ideas.
After all, Su Lanxin has established today's huge catering group, relying on the overseas market.
This year, Su Lanxin decided to return to China, but the pace of entering the domestic market was not successful in one fell swoop, and she was met with a lot of resistance.
In the eyes of the company's top management, all this is completely unnecessary loss.
So after such a vice president raised an objection in a video conference.
Soon, other senior executives in the company also followed.
Everyone has the same idea, and they all think that Su Liancheng and Mei Ru should temporarily give up the domestic market, but should return to foreign countries and run the company's foreign chain restaurants well.
Judging from the current situation, what these executives of the company said is not a problem.
It is true that the company's market development in China has been blocked, and it has not been able to take the lead and gain a high degree of attention as it has done in many foreign places.
Even in many high-level companies in the company, Su Lanxin spent a lot of time, and it was a complete waste of time to compete for an old plaque.
It's just that when Su Lanxin was there, these high-level executives of the company didn't dare to say anything.
No one dared to directly oppose the decision made by Su Lanxin.
But now it's different, Su Lanxin has left the company. Taking over the company are Su Liancheng and Mei Ru, these two are two newcomers who are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the company's senior management. Naturally, these high-level executives of the company will no longer be at the mercy of the two.
Even some high-level executives have privately contacted the store manager of the chain store, and some want to directly win over the store manager and chef, so as to completely empty Su Liancheng and Mei Ru's plan.
Mei Ru had already guessed this, so she also used some means.
The first is to control the chefs of the restaurant chain.
After all, those chefs were all trained by Su Lanxin and Chen Wei.
They have a deep affection for Su Lanxin and Chen Wei, and in the culinary industry, chefs will still admire capable people, and they can not win them over simply by virtue of interests.
Because a good cook does not lack a little bit of small profits.
And Mei Ru borrowed Feng Yifan's name and directly tied Feng Yifan to her and Su Liancheng's management, so that the chefs of the chain store no longer had any changes after learning about Feng Yifan's reputation. Meiru can also be regarded as a stable chain restaurant.
For the company's top management, without the support of the chef, it would be difficult for them to override Su Liancheng and Mei Ru.
So now the company's top management has thought of another strategy, that is, to force Su Liancheng and Mei Ru to return abroad.
Or rather, they want to make Su Liancheng and Mei Ru's policies go wrong, so as to get the opportunity to use the power of the board of directors to remove them from their positions.
But how can Meiru be at her mercy?
As the secretary who has followed Su Lanxin for many years, she can be said to have obtained Su Lanxin's true biography.
So in the face of the aggressiveness of the high-level officials, Mei Ru responded very easily: "Everyone, maybe in your opinion, the stability of the overseas market today makes you complacent, but you don't forget that if we don't win the biggest market, then we will always be losers."
Therefore, Lian Cheng and I will not leave, we have to complete what Mr. Su did not finish before leaving. ”
Hearing this, the high-level officials on the other side of the video looked at each other.
Another vice president asked: "So, do you insist on opening up your domestic market?
Mei Ru said solemnly: "I don't think it will pay a great price, even now, Fujinglou is still profitable, and next, we only need to further make Fujinglou a boutique restaurant, using its unique characteristics, it will naturally be able to break into a reputation in China." ”
Su Liancheng continued with Mei Ru's words: "As long as Fujinglou is successful, we can rely on the back kitchen of Fujinglou as a domestic training base to start experimenting with domestic chain restaurants, and I believe that the domestic market will be conquered by us at that time." ”
Mei Ru didn't give the high-level on the other side of the video a chance to speak, but she continued to speak.
"I know that you have long been content with the status quo and feel that the company only needs to hold on to overseas markets, so that the future can run smoothly.
But this idea is completely contrary to Mr. Su's idea at the beginning, Su always hopes that we can become the world's top restaurant group, so she will plan for many years and choose to return to China to develop, which is the only way for us to move towards the world's top.
Maybe we will pay the price in the early stage, but as long as we can break a way, our road will be very wide in the future. ”
Mei Ru's words made the senior executives of foreign companies on the other side of the video speechless.
Although Su Lanxin has left now, her residual power within the company is still there.
The senior management of the company still did not dare to go against some of Su Lanxin's ideas at the beginning.
What's more, some of the previous high-level small actions were resolved by Su Liancheng and Mei Ru, so now when facing Su Liancheng and Mei Ru, many high-level executives are still a little afraid.
Under the double deterrence, naturally when facing Mei Ru's seriousness, the high-level leaders still dare not confront it.
Of course, there are still some shareholders who hold shares who will express different opinions.
"Mr. Mei, since you and Mr. Xiao Su have decided, do you also want to give us all a plan? and the time for you to implement this strategy?
If one shareholder speaks, the other shareholders will follow suit.
"Yes, you have to give us a clear amount of time, we can't let our shareholders follow you, and you have to be responsible for all kinds of losses. ”
"If you can't finish it within the allotted time, then you have to give up, and you can't keep consuming it. ”
"Yes, so please give the time. ”
Su Liancheng and Mei Ru glanced at each other, and Mei Ru said: "Time, two years, within two years, we will let all shareholders see the results, and we will give everyone a satisfactory result." ”
The shareholders looked at each other, and soon one shareholder asked: "Is two years a long time?"
Su Liancheng opened his mouth and said: "It seems that my mother's plan was set for five years, right? At that time, no one of you objected, but now that we have advanced it to two years, do you want to oppose it?"
There are also shareholders who support Su Liancheng, and at this time, someone immediately spoke: "Yes, the plan set by Mr. Su before was five years, so should we continue to implement the five-year plan?"
In this way, the shareholders who have been proposing for a long time can only compromise.
"Okay, then two years, I hope Mr. Xiao Su and Mr. Mei can do what they say. ”
Mei Ru added another article: "Also, in the past two years, please don't meddle in domestic affairs, the country will be fully responsible for Mr. Su, and others must not interfere for any reason." ”
Shareholders and senior management of the company basically agree with this article.
In fact, they didn't want to come over and intervene, and they were still worried that they would get into trouble.
This is the end of the high-level meeting of Su Lanxin Catering Group, and the final result is that Su Liancheng and Mei Ru temporarily have the upper hand.
But Su Liancheng and Mei Ru are very clear that this advantage is only temporary, and then they are facing great pressure, first of all, to run Fujinglou well, and to make Fujinglou a well-known restaurant in the country.
In this way, we can use Fujinglou as a training base, so as to train enough excellent chefs to really work the chain restaurant.
After the video conference ended, Mei Ru assigned some tasks to the high-level officials in China.
After that, there were only two people left in the conference room, Su Liancheng and Mei Ru.
Mei Ru looked at Su Liancheng and said: "Now that we are in ruins, we must let Feng Yifan help us next, otherwise it will be difficult for us to raise the reputation of Fujinglou in China." ”
Su Liancheng said a little helplessly: "I'm worried now that it's not Feng Yifan who will help us, what I'm worried about is whether he is willing to take the chefs trained by Fujinglou and let us go out to open a chain restaurant? ”
Mei Ru nodded and said, "Well, this matter needs to be clarified with Feng Yifan." ”
Su Liancheng smiled bitterly and asked, "Who is going to say it?"
Mei Ru gave him a blank look: "Of course you go." ”
Su Liancheng also expected it, after all, it seemed that he was the only one who could speak in front of Feng Yifan.
Just to face Feng Yifan, Su Liancheng is really a little worried.
In the past, even if Su Liancheng faced his mother, he would not have too much timidity many times.
But every time he faced Feng Yifan, Su Liancheng always felt like he was a head shorter than the other party, and there was a feeling that the other party could see through his thoughts at a glance.
This feeling made Su Liancheng a little afraid to face Feng Yifan.
Mei Ru understood Su Liancheng's difficulties, she sat in Su Liancheng's arms, hugged Su Liancheng's neck, and said very affectionately: "You have to think about our commitment to shareholders, and we promised our mother that we would run Fujinglou well and help her develop the domestic market." ”
After listening to Mei Ru's words, Su Liancheng became serious: "Well, I know, I will go and ask Feng Yifan for help." ”
Mei Ru thought for a while and said: "Actually, if we can, we can also give half of the profits of the domestic chain restaurant in the future to Feng Yifan." ”
Su Liancheng smiled bitterly and said, "Do you really think Feng Yifan will want those?"
Mei Ru asked strangely: "Didn't he accept the previous equity transfer?"
Su Liancheng said helplessly: "Those are not what he wants, first of all, the equity transfer is for Su Ruoxi, and secondly, those things in the future are obviously for Feng Ruoruo." ”
Mei Ru exclaimed when she heard this: "Do you mean, those things are the dowry that Feng Yifan prepared for his daughter?"
Su Liancheng nodded: "It can be said that those things are Feng Yifan's preparations for his daughter in the future, which can make her daughter carefree." ”
Mei Ru couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, and sighed for a long time: "It seems that Feng Yifan really loves his daughter very much." ”
Then Mei Ru asked again: "Since this is the case, then the income of our chain restaurant can be directly distributed to Feng Ruoruo, so Feng Yifan should be willing to help, right?"
Su Liancheng was not completely sure, but said, "You can try." ”
