National Tide 1980.

Chapter 521
Only half a month after the opening, Ning Weimin stopped yelling with shame.

Because even the business on the second floor of the "Altar Palace" has gradually become regular and has improved greatly.

After Dare enters the working day, the customers who spend with public funds are the first to arrive as scheduled.

Among them are the foreign trade department and friendly units that sell the district government's face to cheer.

There are also garment factories affiliated to the Ministry of Textiles that earn foreign exchange from Pierre Carton's foreign trade orders.

There are also large factories in the arts and crafts industry that are subordinate to the District Service Bureau and are qualified to receive foreign guests.

As for these units, what they have in common is that, under the banner of entertaining foreign guests, they also have foreign exchange income, and they spend money aggressively.

Although in order to save time, they basically eat casual meals, but they don't care about the price at all.

I only order expensive ones for ordering food, Moutai and Wuliangye for drinks, and sometimes I have to take a few high-end cigarettes with me before leaving.

A table of seats cost thousands and eight hundred, without blinking an eye.

The high-end liquor, high-end cigarettes, and the most expensive dishes of "Tangong" are mainly consumed by them.

With their support, it becomes easier for the restaurant to escape from the deficit of operating costs
On average, two or three tables can be received on the second floor every day, and the turnover has reached around 4000 yuan in an instant.

But precisely because of their wealth and wealth, there is also something awkward about these people-there is too much obsession with delicacies from mountains and seas.

Limited by taste, knowledge and culture, these people's pursuit of food is really similar to that of local rich people.

I want to eat all the rare ingredients that are said to be edible, so I feel that this life is not in vain.

However, Ning Weimin did not prepare bear paws, flying dragons, bird's nests, shark fins and other things for the restaurant at all.

After all, his soul comes from 30 years later, and he is environmentally conscious.

Selling these increasingly endangered wild game made him feel that it was a crime and an offense to peace.

So he even changed the menu originally listed by "Zhang Dashao".

The top-quality ingredients he provides to customers are limited to sea cucumbers, abalones, crab roe, prawns, fresh shellfish, fish maw, snow clams, hump, deer tendons, venison, quail, turtledoves, pigeons, etc., which can be artificially farmed.

Or asparagus, monkey leg vegetable, Hericium erinaceus, morel, donkey's nest fungus, chicken fir fungus, white fungus, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, truffles, bracken, kudzu rice, these very rare grass treasures.

So this affects the mood of the customers a little bit.

Those who spend with public funds think that the ingredients provided by the "Altar Palace" are too ordinary.

Especially for mushrooms and the like, they can't appreciate them at all.

For this reason, some people even resorted to provocative tactics similar to provocation.

"No way? Then Judequan still sells bear's paws. How can a restaurant as big as yours not have one?"

"Manager Ning, you can't do it, right? You don't have the ability? You look down on us, don't you?"

"Money is not a problem, so don't make excuses. If you can't satisfy us with this little request, then your restaurant will really be inferior to Fangshan Restaurant..."

To be honest, Ning Weimin did not hesitate to stick to his original intention.

The businessman's instinct told him that the restaurant had just opened, so don't offend the guests if you can.

What's more, these people are high-rollers who don't care about the price at all for their mouths.

Not to mention that in this era when the "Wild Animal Protection Law" has not even been introduced, it is not difficult at all to get a few bear paws, some Luzon yellow shark fins, and a few catties of Indonesian bird's nest.

With "Zhang Dashao" as the technical support, he has no doubt that he won a lot of applause and made himself more famous.

But there is a hurdle in his heart that he can't get through.

"No business, no harm!"

This sentence is always remembered by him at critical moments.

When he thought of sacrificing a lot of wild animals in order to please a few big-bellied eaters and satisfy their appetites, he didn't like it.

The point is that if he really wants to open this hole, he is afraid that he will lose his bottom line and can't stop the brakes!

It will slip down like a downhill, and do more unconscionable things!

For example, since he knows that the "Wild Animal Protection Law" will be introduced, should he hoard a batch of tiger bone wine, ivory and rhino horn in advance?

And if he really did this, what kind of consequences would it cause, and how many lives would he have to suffer?

Even if you can't benefit the world, you can't add karma to yourself?

So in the end, he still decided not to earn this ignorant money, and ignored it.

But in this way, even offending people.

Although the environment, service and cooking level of "Altar Palace" are fully recognized.

However, some of these large households who eat and drink with public funds still think that Ning Weimin is not enough friends, and it seems that they don't take them seriously.

As a result, these people stopped patronizing soon, and held resentment towards Ning Weimin, and began to make up his faults behind his back, spreading the theory that "Altar Palace" has no real delicacies.

Fortunately, Ning Weimin had already thought through this matter thoroughly.

Not only was there no unhappiness and entanglement, but I also felt a kind of relief and relief.

who is he?

An open traveler!
The biggest difference between Chonghuo's life and the previous one.

That is, he has the capital of "a gentleman can do something and not do something".

He no longer needs to regard money as the only pursuit in life.

In his mind, he has a golden helmet and armor, and colorful auspicious clouds!
Do you still need to care about this little thing?
If you don't come, you won't come, if you don't love, you won't come!Then you are my grandsons!

Maybe it's because God has the virtue of being good at life, so he is quite satisfied with Ning Weimin's choice.

Soon God used a happy event to seamlessly make up for all the losses of Ning Weimin.

On the afternoon of July 1983, 9.

Costume master Pierre Carton himself, his assistant Ms. Takada Mi, trademark agency manager Mr. Habs, "PC" brand clothing designer Ms. Blaika, and two former supermodel body coaches, Isabel and Pooh, and The foreign staff of Maxim's restaurant and more than ten assistant team members took the Air France flight together and came to the capital again.

As for Pierre Carton's trip to China this time, the reason why he is so fanfare is mainly for three things.

First of all, it is the opening of the Maxim Restaurant in Beijing.

You know, the reason why Pierre Carton spent huge sums of money in 1981 to completely acquire the "Maxim" restaurant that was on the verge of bankruptcy.

It is because of high expectations for this brand that is well-known throughout France and Europe.

In order to build "Maxim" into a new symbol of European fashion, and promote the brand culture of "Maxim" to the world, so that it can be favored by celebrities who pursue elegant personality.

After the acquisition, Pierre Caton also launched a series of big moves.

For example, the launch of Maxim men's clothing series and the launch of Maxim champagne.

It is also commonly known as "crossover" 30 years later.

In 1983, Pierre Caton made the decision to open two branches successively in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and the capital of the Republic.

Especially for the Republic market.

Pierre Carton paid more attention to it than ever before, not only invested a huge amount of money, but also used Japanese workers and imported materials to replicate everything in the Paris head office.

Moreover, he also explicitly asked Song Huagui not to seek profit, but to maintain taste.

When choosing a waiter for the restaurant, Pierre Cardin even told Song Huaigui, "Intelligence and beauty, if you can't coexist, you must choose beauty."

In his mind, he never thought about making a profit, he just wanted to keep his taste.

Not only hired a French chef for the Maxim restaurant in Beijing, but also invited Count Amber de Lyon from Maxim in Paris as the first manager.

And it also specially arranged for Huaxia's employees to go to the French head office to participate in training and study.

Strive to completely copy the elegant taste of the head office in Paris, France to the land of China.

From this, it can be seen how much this master values ​​the market potential of the Huaxia region.

Needless to say, he must attend the opening ceremony in person, and he will never miss it.

Secondly, the master also came for the "Oriental Splendid Model Contest" jointly organized by Song Huagui, the Ministry of Textiles and the Ministry of Light Industry.

This incident was a great surprise for Pierre Carton's career in the Republic.

The French old man never expected that Song Huagui would run the Huaxia branch so successfully.

To be able to reach such a close and significant cooperation with the government.

I am very fortunate to be the referee and leader who can influence the entire clothing industry of the Republic.

So when he learned that Song Huagui was worried because he lacked professional experience in organizing this kind of competition for the first time, Pierre Caton offered to provide technical assistance.

This time, he also brought some of his best professionals to help Song Huagui solve some technical problems.

Finally, given the amazing progress in business in China.

Pierre Carton also intends to return goodwill to the Republic in the form of foreign trade orders.

This contemporary "OEM King" decided to hold an international product exhibition of the "PC" brand in the National Culture Palace.

All the products in the exhibition are made in China, and nearly 200 people from "PC" brand agents from all over the world will come to participate.

Therefore, because of this, not only did Pierre Carton have a large number of members on this trip, but they received a very grand welcome and warm reception as soon as they got off the plane.

Waiting for them at the airport were not only Song Huagui and Zou Guodong, senior officials from the Huaxia District, but also representatives sent by the foreign affairs department and the Ministry of Textiles to pick them up.

And many Chinese and foreign media reporters who came to hear the news.

After a brief welcoming ceremony, after receiving flowers to thank the government representatives.

The entire foreign team headed by Pierre Carton boarded the vehicle that Song Huagui had prepared for them, and drove to the Beijing Hotel.

After checking in, it took almost an hour to repair.

A formal press conference followed, followed by a reception dinner.

Therefore, Pierre Carton will not only formally meet with some government officials, but also accept interviews with reporters, and briefly talk about the purpose and approximate schedule of this visit to Beijing.

It turned out that during the process of going to the Beijing Hotel by car, Pierre Carton had already learned about Ning Weimin's recent movements from Song Huagui, and was very happy that he had a share in a Chinese restaurant.

At this press conference, on a whim, the French old man took the initiative to add an event that was not originally planned to his future schedule.

He publicly announced his decision to go to this joint venture restaurant in which he has a share to taste the royal dishes.

He also expressed that he would invite the French embassy to entertain his compatriots with authentic palace dishes in the "Altar Palace".

So all of a sudden, Ning Weimin's "Altar Palace" quickly became popular because of the master's help to build momentum.

And this time, he has not only attracted the attention of the domestic media.

Even foreign media such as Agence France-Presse, Reuters, and the Associated Press pointed their cameras at him.

It's really cheap to say!

With such a big boss with his own traffic, it's hard not to be famous!
Even Ning Weimin himself didn't realize that he had replaced the "Li Family Cuisine" which was originally famous overseas due to the praise from foreign media and embassies.

Unintentionally, he took away his luck.
