Chapter 754: Making a big move

"Hello, Adolf, why didn't you take your family on a trip with the weather being so nice? You can't finish this work. You can go out and relax properly.

For example, Huaxia is very good. It has beautiful scenery and many delicious foods. It is a very suitable place for vacation. "

A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone. Being able to talk to Adolf about these things so easily meant he was either a friend or a boss.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Adolf's frowning brows not only couldn't be stretched, but were "kneaded" into a ball, and there was a slight hint of anger on his face.

"Mr. Stephen, I'm glad you care about me, but I'm too busy with my current job to spare time for vacation. As for Huaxia, I only went there last year, and the children plan to go again next year."

Adolf was very surprised that Stephen called him. You must know that he is an executive director of Michelin and is very influential internally.

How could such a person call me for nothing and talk about travel and vacation? Such behavior is really abnormal.

Before he knew the real intention of his call, Adolf had no choice but to chat with him. Regarding what he said about going to China for a vacation trip, he didn't know whether it was true or false, so let's play around with it first.

"That's a shame, but I heard about something that happened in China. I just talked to a few internal directors and decided to send you over to handle it.

So what I just said was not a joke. You can also take vacations after work. After all, the air tickets are free.

Since this mission comes quite suddenly, all the travel expenses of your family can be reimbursed when you come back. After the incident is over, you can decide the time of the trip yourself.

As long as you don't delay your work, everything is up to you to decide. How about it, isn't my previous proposal good? "

Stephen seemed to have taken a sip of red wine, and Adolf could hear the beautiful sound it made after entering his throat, but the news came too suddenly and unexpectedly.

What's happening in China?
Adolf immediately became confused, what on earth was going on?

At this time, he did not connect this matter with the computer in front of him. Is there any connection between the two?

Shouldn't be possible, right?
How could it be such a small thing to alarm Stephen?
And this matter on the computer only involves a small shop in Chengdu Snack Street. How could it catch Stephen's eye?

What's more, I just read all the reports, and 90% of the things sent back by the ten reviewers above were feedback on this store's home-cooked dishes.

However, there are very few truly high-quality dishes in the store, those extremely exquisite dishes.

The reason is that these dishes are not originally sold in the store, but will be launched as a set menu tomorrow night, and they are not available to eat whenever you want, but you still need to make a reservation?
According to Lyon's estimates, the number of people who have made reservations is estimated to be tens of thousands, and this store will conduct a lottery among the tens of thousands of people who have made reservations, and only those who win the number can go to taste it.

This is why so many reviewers can only send feedback on their experience of home-cooked dishes, while there are only a few high-quality dishes. It is said that the bosses provide benefits, and few people can taste them just by chance.

All this shows that this store is extraordinary, but now there is a big problem. Just some home-cooked dishes cannot be rated as stars, although Yipin's home-cooked dishes alone are enough.

However, premium dishes require reservations, and the reviewers are unable to test them, so Adolf is very conflicted at this time and has not been able to figure out how to solve this matter.

But at this time Stephen actually wants to send himself to Rongcheng again, will it have something to do with this matter?
"Mr. Stephen, my family has already traveled to Dubai, so it's not easy to disrupt their plans, but what did you say happened in China?

Now that the directors have decided, I will set off as soon as possible. Please tell me in detail so that I can have a clear idea. "

Adolf guessed that this matter must be unusual, so he deduced that his family had already gone on a trip, and he just didn't want them to get involved. At this moment, he felt a little uneasy.

"Haha, Adolf, you are still that cautious after so many years, you really haven't changed at all.

In this case, let me tell you the truth. I heard that China has now produced a black pearl and wants to compete with our Michelin. Is there such a thing? "

There was the sound of pouring red wine on the other end of the phone, but the sound stopped quickly. It seemed that it was only poured a little. Adolf had already noticed that Stephen was a little unhappy.

"Yes, but we have only received some rumors. We don't know the specific actions there yet. It is just a review system that has just emerged."

It seemed that he was unhappy because he didn't accept the move, but that was just a guess in his mind. If he didn't accept the move, he wouldn't accept the move. But if this was really the case, then how did he know?

"Review system?
Isn't that a bit too simple?As far as I know, there are many well-known people in China, and they cover various industries of food. Isn't it as simple as you said?

I heard that they conducted a round of evaluation of restaurants in Shanghai, and the results are already out and will be announced soon.

And this matter is directly aimed at our Michelin. The other party is using the banner of revitalizing the Chinese food standard, and it is clear that they want to challenge our authority.

You said this is a trivial matter, do you think I am so easy to fool? "

Stephen's hoarse voice began to become a little sharp, and he seemed to be really angry.

"Mr. Stephen, please don't get me wrong. I said this before because the information I currently have is not comprehensive, and the other party's confidentiality work is very good.

So we don’t know much about their progress now, and we are just waiting for them to announce the results before taking the next step. "

Adolf didn't even want to say the word "response". He didn't take the challenge of the so-called Black Pearl seriously. It's not that simple to shake Michelin's status.

"Don't underestimate the enemy too much. Since the other party is able to organize such a large-scale attack and has specially selected a store in Chengdu as a breakthrough point, it must be carefully designed."

As soon as Stephen finished speaking, Adolf was immediately moved and chose a store in Chengdu?

Couldn't it be that store?

When did it happen?
how would I not know?

This series of questions caught Adolf off guard, and he couldn't even figure out where Stephen's news came from?

"You're not talking about Yipin store, are you?
I have sent 10 gold medal reviewers to do the evaluation, but the feedback came back only for some home-cooked dishes. Although the taste is not bad, it is not rated as a star."

Before Adolf could finish speaking, he was immediately interrupted by Stephen: "I already know all this, but have you not seen the announcement from Yipin and Black Pearl?
I'll send it to you right away, right in your mailbox. "

Less than 5 seconds after Stephen finished speaking, Adolf had already seen the email. After clicking on it and reading it, Adolf was completely uneasy.

"Are you confused? Do you see something is wrong?

They originally conducted the evaluation in Shanghai, but suddenly they brought in this restaurant in Chengdu, and it happened that this restaurant launched an exquisite set menu.

Others need to make a reservation for dining, but Black Pearl has directly obtained a quota for evaluation. This means that the other party has discovered that you have entered the store for evaluation.

In order to preemptively build momentum, that's why they can't wait to release the announcement, just to exclude us, so as to give the evaluation results of Shanghai a frontier.

Therefore, we should fight back immediately on this matter, and we should not hesitate to defeat their plans, causing them to stumble and completely lose credibility. "

Only then did Stephen reveal the true intention of his call, but Adolf was surprised that he had to intervene in this matter. For Stephen, who had so many things to do, it shouldn't be something he cared about.

"Is this necessary? The other party is just a newcomer."

Adolf was interrupted again, and Stephen said seriously: "It is not good to underestimate the country of China, let alone their style of doing things.

As long as you give them a chance, they will quickly start a prairie fire like a spark. When the fire spreads all over the earth, it will be too late for you to stop it.

So this time I will send you as the captain and Leon as the vice-captain to lead the 10 gold medal judges in Chengdu to participate in the package evaluation of that store.

First of all, we have to ask this store to agree to our evaluation request. If you need any cooperation from the headquarters, feel free to mention it. Especially for announcements, we must be notified in time.

It would be best to exclude Black Pearl and let our family evaluate it. In this case, wouldn’t the credibility of Black Pearl be lost?
The restaurant only chooses our Michelin, which explains the problem. This is also the simplest method, but you should discuss the specific operation with Lyon and you two.

Okay, that's it for now. If anything happens, call me in time. Your ticket to Chengdu has been booked for you. Let's leave now. We'll arrive tomorrow afternoon. "

After Stephen hung up the phone, Adolf sat there motionless with a gloomy face, his face full of annoyance, and his heart very angry.

This was not directed at Stephen, but at Lyon.

At this moment, Adolf knew that he had been stabbed in the back by Leon. Leon should have reported everything that happened in Chengdu.

But now he reported the matter to Stephen. This was obviously an attempt to gain Stephen's trust and take the high-level route directly.

Fortunately, I had trusted and supported him so much before, and was ready to push him to the position of his deputy, but I didn't expect that this man would sell him out in the blink of an eye when he saw the opportunity.

Climbing a high branch, as long as you do this well, the appreciation will definitely be certain, unlike your own lack of certainty.

Humph~!

A follower of the crowd!

This guy obviously seized the opportunity that the senior management wanted to strangle the Black Pearl in the cradle, and he did what he wanted, only to make himself embarrassed.

It was said that he was allowed to be the captain, but in fact it was just a formality.

Now let yourself set off immediately and arrive in Chengdu tomorrow afternoon?
My phone was turned off on the plane. Didn't Lyon have the final say on this team's affairs?
After you arrive and everything is arranged, what else will you do?

Do you want to see his ugly face?

This damn guy is so abominable, and what Stephen said about timely feedback, how should he give feedback?
It wasn't like he and Leon had decided directly. In the end, if something went wrong, he would still have to take responsibility. This simply made him so angry that he wanted to quit.

Whoever wants to go, damn it!

However, he was still angry, but he still had to go to Rongcheng. After all, it was Stephen himself who ordered it, so he still had to go and take care of it.

In fact, Stephen did it on purpose. He wanted to push Leon to the stage, and he also wanted to say hello and remind himself in advance.

Humph~!

Want to be on top?

How can it be so simple?
Judging from the previous feedback reports, this restaurant seems to have its own unique proposition, and it is not so easy for the owner to accept Michelin's evaluation alone.

Announcements from both sides have been sent out, and you still want to reverse it, so I'll wait and see what you can do?
Depressed, Adolf adjusted his mood, checked his flight information, and then sent an email to all the reviewers in Chengdu.

Finally, he took out a set of luggage from the office, called a taxi and went directly to the airport. However, Adolf did not contact Leon until he got on the plane and turned off his mobile phone.

Leon received a call from Stephen and learned that Adolf had been informed about this matter. Stephen asked him to communicate with Yipin before Adolf arrived in Rongcheng.

The evaluation must be reversed. It is nothing more than giving some benefits to the restaurant. As long as the restaurant can be rated as three stars, it will be a huge source of money.

And this store can also meet the standards of three stars, so it doesn't matter. Isn't this Michelin name not as good as the so-called black pearl?

Leon was a little confused after learning this result, mainly because the announcement of Black Pearl disrupted his rhythm.

I thought that after notifying the upper management of the matter, I could use Yipin's new exquisite package to get exclusive reviews from Michelin. In this way, I could kill three birds with one stone and definitely make a lot of money.

The first is to make the senior management satisfied with the results of his handling, which has suppressed the rise of Black Pearl. The second is to use this as a springboard for him to be promoted to deputy editor.

The third time also made Adolf feel scruples, not daring to order and attack him blatantly. After all, his backstage is a high-level one.

But now that Black Pearl’s announcement has revealed its cooperation with Yipin, what can I do to get Boss Chu to agree to cooperate with Michelin?
Leon felt a little bitter in his heart. It seemed that his previous plan did not take into account so many factors, leaving him passive.

But things still need to be done. There is still a little time before Boss Chu closes the store. Let's go and test his tone first. If he doesn't agree, we can only ask the headquarters to cooperate.

But if they take action there, the situation will escalate, and the consequences will be serious. I don't know if it will be rectified in the end.

With an anxious mood, Leon walked into Yipin and revealed his identity to Chu Yunfeng.

But what surprised and troubled him was that Chu Yunfeng immediately rejected him
