Chapter 756 "Forced" to fight

After having this idea, everyone present looked at me and I looked at you, and everyone exchanged glances tacitly.

Although everyone's eyes seemed a little erratic, as if they were passing by lightly inadvertently, the taste in them could only be understood, not expressed in words.

It was obvious that an offensive and defensive alliance had begun to quietly form, and the person targeted was Leon, the deputy leader of this team.

Only now did everyone realize that this guy had the support of the headquarters. No wonder he was given the position of deputy team leader.

Then things become simple.

Joey felt even more unbalanced now. He understood that Leon had done so many things for his own benefit, so he said angrily: "Then let's compete with Black Pearl on the same stage and defeat the opponent head-on. .”

In fact, these words were said to disgust Lyon. How could Michelin, who was so aloof, lower his stature to compete with a little-known Black Pearl?

However, this statement was unanimously approved by everyone. It seems that everyone here has a tacit understanding, that is, to make it more difficult for Leon, anyway, it cannot make it easy for him.

Leon squinted his eyes slightly and tasted the taste. It seemed that he was a little jealous, right?
But he doesn't care very much. As long as this thing is successful, his position will naturally be promoted. What can you do to me then?

Compete on the same stage?

Leon has actually considered this issue, but this is the last resort, because if Chu Yunfeng insists on not letting go and does not want to offend Black Pearl, this is the only way.

You must know that the judges here are all the top judges. They all have their own unique experience in appreciating the dishes, and their standards are very high.

If they compete on the same stage, then everyone will know how big the gap between Black Pearl and Michelin is.

I believe that everyone’s understanding of the various details in each dish can at least put Black Pearl on the street, which is a once and for all solution.

But I'm afraid that the top management won't agree, thinking that this will damage Michelin's prestige, and that it will appear to be overkilling mosquitoes with anti-aircraft guns.

"This is a good idea, but do you think the top management will approve it? Will Michelin lose its value?"

Leon actually already had this idea in mind, but seeing these people's "tacit understanding", he couldn't just be "generalized" by them, right?
You have to act like you are "reasonable" and adopt everyone's unanimous opinions. Wouldn't this give you a better impression of the superiors?

And this is also a kind of protection for myself. What if the top management doesn't allow it?

Then you can shirk that it is everyone's unanimous opinion, and you can easily pick yourself out.

Hehe~!

These people still want to trick me. Is it that easy?

Everyone thought they were posing problems for me, but how could they think that they were actually helping me?

"How can we lose our value? What we need now is to grab time. Yipin store is really worth doing."

"If the senior management knew that there was a restaurant with such exquisite food, they would definitely agree. Only in this way can we highlight our Michelin standards of perfection."

"Only through a perfect blow to Black Pearl can the other party know how powerful we are. Let those second-rate or third-rate judges take a good look at what the most professional dish reviewers are."

Everyone here impassionedly stated various reasons that were beneficial to Michelin, and the meaning was nothing more than asking Lyon to persuade the top management to directly fight Black Pearl to decide the outcome.

But among the 10 judges present, Mary, the only female judge, did not speak. She lowered her head slightly, frowned and sat there quietly, not knowing what she was thinking about.

"If you go by what everyone said, this seems to be a better way, but it's not easy for me to report it directly. I will definitely be scolded.

How about waiting for Adolf to arrive before making a decision? He is the team leader, so it would be better for him to report. "

Leon was indeed very cunning. Knowing that everyone was roasting him on the stove, how could he let him go so easily, let alone wait until Adolf arrived before making a decision.

At this time, Adolf is still in a long flight state. By the time he gets here tomorrow afternoon, the day lilies will be cold.

But Lyon is throwing the decision-making power to Adolf at this moment. On the surface, it seems that he respects Adolf and is unwilling to make the illusion of having his own way and making the final decision. This is a good cover-up.

"No, no, the matter is very urgent now. It will be too late to report when Adolf arrives. By then, there will definitely be no time to directly confront Black Pearl."

"You're right, what we lack now is time. After the senior management makes a decision, we still need to contact Yipin and they need to agree to provide us with a package."

"It's true. Black Pearl has arranged for many people to conduct the lottery, and there are so few of us. What if we don't win? We can't even see the dishes, so how can we judge?"

"The most important thing is our publicity work. Since we want to crack down on Black Pearl, we must expand the influence of the publicity. This also takes time."

With the previous tacit understanding, everyone seems to have reached a consensus on agreeing to this plan, and they have found very important reasons to support this plan.

"I understand what you all say makes sense, but we still have to respect Adolf's opinion. Let me call him first. If he picks up the phone, we can listen to his opinion."

Leon acted very "cautious". Among the people at the venue, he was the only one who knew Adolf's itinerary best. He was definitely on the plane at this time, but he still made the call.

"Phone off."

Leon turned on the amplifier and everyone heard it, so everyone fixed their eyes on Leon and waited for him to make a decision.

All the things that could pave the way were laid out. Leon still pretended to be very troubled and glanced at everyone's face. When he saw Mary still lowering her head, Leon ignored it.

Mary has not spoken. Leon thinks that she should just choose to abstain. Her own strength seems to have no effect, and it is time to make a decision.

"Since everyone agrees with this decision, I will report it to the superior and tell Adolf later. If the headquarters agrees, everyone must cooperate with me. Can you do it?"

Leon looked at everyone again, and felt secretly happy when he saw everyone nodding and agreeing.

"OK, then I'll report it and let Black Pearl see what a professional review is."

What Leon did was not authentic, but these words reached everyone's hearts, and they all nodded in agreement again.

When Leon was about to send the email, Mary suddenly sighed and objected: "I think this is inappropriate. There are big problems in it."

"What's the problem with this? Do you think your ability is not as good as those third-rate judges who have just started in Black Pearl?"

Originally, time was tight, and Leon wanted to send the email immediately, but who would have thought that there would be objections?
"It's just a matter of judging. Have you forgotten where this is? This is a place where you can eat chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns. Who of you can stand the taste of chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns?"

As soon as Mary said this, everyone immediately aroused collective opposition. Now Leon was even more anxious and immediately retorted: "Do chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns have anything to do with Yipin?

I have been in the store for the past two days watching the dishes they are preparing for the set menu, but none of the dishes uses chili or Sichuan peppercorns.

You must know that these are high-end and exquisite dishes, how can you use ingredients like chili pepper and Sichuan peppercorns?
And didn’t each of you see when you entered the store that every dish does not have chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, right? "

Lyon's words immediately made everyone feel very reasonable. It was indeed the case. Yipin's high-end dishes did not have these two ingredients.

"But can you guarantee that he won't make dishes with chili and peppercorns in the set menu?

If another greasy dish comes out, and these dishes are more suitable for Chinese people's appetite, then our rating will definitely be lower than theirs.

It is even possible that we will directly judge this store to be eliminated!

Don't say it's a star rating, it's even impossible to be shortlisted! "

Although Mary's words were recognized by everyone, because the key to Michelin's review is lightness, less oil and less salt, and healthy eating is recommended.

Chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns will get the lowest scores from the judges.

But everyone still objected, especially Joey, who once again took the lead and said: "You seem to be a little unfounded. I haven't seen them making dishes with chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns in the store.

Even if there is a peppery and sesame dish, it has been improved and will not have any impact on the judged dishes.

And everyone can think about it carefully, since Yipin wants to make exquisite high-end set meals, will he use chili and Sichuan pepper to destroy his exquisite dishes? "

Joey's statement immediately gained everyone's approval. Although Mary's statement also made everyone feel a little uneasy, the key now is to unanimously "crusade" Leon.

Everyone would be very happy to see him embarrassed or even failed, so Mary's words violated the unanimous principle and harmed everyone's interests, so of course they would be suppressed.

"I think what Joey said makes sense. Are you a little unfounded, Mary?"

Milu stood firmly on the opposite side of Mary, and his tone was not very kind.

"Time is already tight, can we stop wasting time?"

Seeing that everyone was on his side, Leon smiled secretly in his heart, and then said: "Since there are objections, let's vote by a show of hands."

When she saw 9 people agreeing, Mary took a deep breath helplessly.

"Okay, this matter has been reported. Let's wait for a while and see if there will be any new emails."

Leon didn't dare to let everyone go now. If there was something else to call them back later, it would be another troublesome matter.

Everyone also knew that they had to wait for a while. Although they were reluctant, they all spread their hands helplessly and sat on their chairs to look at their phones or rest.

Mary, who is very familiar with Sichuan cuisine, does have some vague uneasiness in her heart. She is also very responsible in thinking about Michelin and has fulfilled her responsibilities as a reviewer.

But Leon and the others didn't seem to care at all, and they let their good intentions be regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case.

If such a situation really occurs, the consequences will be very serious, which is equivalent to giving up the gorgeous coat of Michelin and having others take it off.

Mary, who was very responsible, was about to argue again when everyone's cell phones rang and the reply emails arrived.

So fast?
In less than 2 minutes, the top management made a decision?

And at first glance, everyone began to change their colors.

Because the top management actually agreed?
And he also said that Lyon's proposal was very good, that is, they should attack directly and let Michelin maintain its dominance.

After getting this information, everyone looked at Lyon a little differently. Didn't expect that he had such a good relationship with the senior management?
The expected embarrassment did not happen, and the senior management was very supportive of him. It seemed that he should cooperate with him well next.

"Everyone has seen the email, so there is nothing to say. Let's start preparations. I will call Boss Chu first and tell him about this matter.

We also told him about our difficulties and saw if he could directly cancel the lottery so that we could directly get the dishes for review. "

Leon's words immediately won unanimous support from everyone. This time, the support was sincere because he had been to Yiyi to taste the food in the store before.

It really left everyone speechless, it was so delicious!

Although they are all ordinary ingredients, the taste is extremely delicious, and it can even be said to be tastier than many high-end dishes I have eaten in the past.

Ordinary dishes are like this, but what about those exquisite dishes?

It will definitely be more amazing than these ordinary dishes. If Lyon can do it, then everyone can taste it, which is indeed a very good thing.

"Dear Chu, let me tell you some good news. The headquarters attaches great importance to this matter, so they directly sent a gold medal review team, which shows that they attach great importance to your store.

But now there is a problem, that is, the dishes in the set meal need to be drawn by lottery, and we have very few people. It is impossible for all ten judges to win, so effective judging cannot be carried out.

Can you just cancel the lottery for us and allow the ten judges to try the dishes directly?

Oh, by the way, the headquarters also made a decision. If Black Pearl agrees, then both parties can jointly review the dishes.

This will allow everyone to feel the charm of your restaurant's dishes more intuitively, and also save you from the embarrassment of Black Pearl.

After all, all the judges on the scene gave unanimous opinions, and everyone can see which side has a higher level. In this way, they have nothing to say.

Especially for you, it won't be difficult for both parties, right? "

Leon's words seemed to be for Chu Yunfeng, but there were still great risks involved. The key was, would Black Pearl agree to this?
"There is still a problem, what if Black Pearl disagrees?
Then wouldn’t I have offended others to death?

After all, it’s a PK between the two of you. It’s very uncomfortable for me to be caught in the middle! "

Chu Yunfeng seemed to be "aware" of this, so he passed on his troubles.

"Uh~! Let's do this. I'll take care of Black Pearl's side. I'll contact them first to see if they dare to challenge. If they don't dare, then dear Chu, there's no need for you to deal with such a timid organization. Are you cooperating?"

Leon's words made Chu Yunfeng hesitate for a while, but finally agreed.

Seeing that everything was developing in a direction that was beneficial to him, Leon felt very high-spirited.

But when he and everyone here contacted Black Pearl through various channels, all the messages sent fell into the background, and the other party ignored or responded at all.

It seems that the other party is too scared to even make contact, let alone respond.

So Lyon contacted Chu Yunfeng again and told him that the other party had entered a state of shrinking, but Chu Yunfeng told Lyon that the other party had just contacted him.

He explained that the food tasting session tonight would remain unchanged and that he would refuse to give up Michelin because this had been agreed upon before and the announcement had already been made.

Chu Yunfeng said that this matter was too complicated, and he didn't want to play with both parties anymore. It seemed like sparks would spark if the game continued, but his shop couldn't stand the trouble.

Leon comforted Chu Yunfeng and told him that Black Pearl had a guilty conscience, in order to show his sincerity more and to prevent Chu Yunfeng from being so embarrassed.

The headquarters would issue an announcement directly and launch a direct PK against Black Pearl. If he didn't dare to accept it, then the so-called revitalization slogans before would be empty words, and Michelin would be able to defeat others without a fight.

Chu Yunfeng became a little touched when he saw that Lyon was thinking about him so much, so he agreed with Lyon and waited for further reaction from Black Pearl.

It was already dark at this time, and everyone had been in the conference room for almost two hours, busy on the phone all the time.

But Leon was quite considerate. Seeing that he didn't know how late he would stay up tonight, he ordered meals for everyone in advance, but they were all burgers and the like.

First things first, although everyone here has not eaten junk food for a long time, they are not in the mood or opportunity to eat a delicious meal at this time.

I haven't eaten this food for a long time, but I still think it tastes good and gives me a bit of a memory.

Leon took a big bite of the burger and sent another email, explaining the current situation in detail. Black Pearl was already timid and needed to give them a final blow.

The headquarters quickly agreed, and then a very domineering announcement was directly announced, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Because this is an invitation PK initiated by Michelin, such a thing is very rare, and it makes many people who pay attention to food get excited.

The three words "Black Pearl" immediately became popular. Being named by Michelin naturally recognized the opponent's strength. Even if Black Pearl failed in the end, it was still an honor to lose.

After all, it is Michelin. With a history of hundreds of years, the evaluation standards for catering are set by others.

Michelin was originally waiting to see a joke, and they all bet that Black Pearl would not dare to accept the move, but they did not expect that less than an hour after the announcement was made, the other party immediately replied and agreed.

agreed?
Is Black Pearl arrogant or forced to helplessness?

Everyone started speculating
