Life style warm man

Chapter 96 Preparing to Open a Store

Wang Shen asked Fu Xinran and his two daughters to wait a moment while he turned around and started chatting with the young chef.

After a brief understanding, Wang Shen also knew his identity, a new chef in a hotel in Hangzhou.

I have always liked to study food, especially fried rice because of an experience I had when I was a child.

There are studies on all kinds of things.

But he could never make it taste the same as when he was a kid.

Until it reappears in the hands of Wang Shen!
This was also the reason why he came over as soon as he heard Wang Shen's greeting.

"I want to open a high-end restaurant specializing in fried rice, but I have never been able to find the right person to take charge. I think you are quite suitable!"

Wang Shen expressed his thoughts.

The young chef frowned when he heard this. He hesitated for a while and said, "You mean, if I agree, you will give me instructions on how to make fried rice?"

Wang Shen smiled, nodded and said, "It's almost the same, but I can't teach you for free. You should understand this."

The young chef hummed. It was impossible for two people who met by chance to casually teach Guo Jing their secrets like Hong Qigong did.

Besides, even Hong Qigong still got Huang Rong, ahem, delicious food in return!

"Where do you plan to open it? At what size?"

"Jeju Bar specializes in high-end products. The store may not be big, but the price must be high. It is a high-end store."

Wang Shen said.

"Let me think about it!"

The young chef then exchanged contact information with Wang Shen and the two of them, then said goodbye and left.

"Brother, do you plan to open a restaurant?"

Fu Xinran asked curiously.

"Yes, I have this plan!" Wang Shen nodded, why can foreigners sell Western food at high prices casually?

Chefs with several Michelin stars still need to make a reservation and have to wait!

His fried rice is not bad!
Why can't we do this?

He just wants to create a gimmick, a high-end fried rice IP!

Whether you make money or not is another matter, but you must be famous.

Don’t waste your skills!

As for why we sought out this young chef, the answer is obvious.

It's not like he can stay in a restaurant every day and really be a cook.

I taught him some of the fried rice skills and asked him to cook fried rice, teach apprentices, and manage the restaurant.

As for the master who taught his apprentices to starve to death, that does not exist. He is not a real cook, he is just capital.

Besides, his skill is not only the result of fried rice skills, but also the blessing of kung fu, which ordinary people cannot learn or do.

It’s a good achievement to be able to learn [-] or [-]!

"The fried rice you make is really delicious. It's so cool. Brother, is there anything else you can't do?"

When Fu Xinran heard this, he looked at Wang Shen with admiration, his little eyes full of stars!
He knows martial arts, plays basketball, and makes fried rice, and he also has money!
Body, uh!

In short, he is Brother Wang who suddenly fell from the sky!

What girl is not pregnant with love? At this moment, Fu Xinran had no idea that her heart was gradually going astray.

Hearing Fu Xinran's words, Wang Shen blushed for a rare time. There was a limit to praise for this sister.

There are many who don’t know how to do it!
Wang Shen rubbed her hair and said angrily: "You are not so exaggerated. Let's go. I will take you back."

"Rubbing my hair again!"

Fu Xinran pouted dissatisfiedly.

"Ha, I'm sorry, I'm used to rubbing it, and my sister even asked me to search for bald spots!"

Wang Shen smiled.

"I hate it. It's so annoying to have a brother like you. It's hard to take care of your hair! When I go to Jeju, I'm going to find my sister to take care of you."

Fu Xinran said coquettishly.

"Ha, I'm still afraid of you!"

The two laughed and walked outside the hotel.

Zhou Hanyun's eyes dimmed slightly. She was a girl and she clearly felt the change in Fu Xinran's tone.

A little more coquettish and a different kind of closeness.

I can’t tell you how I feel, I’m just a little envious!
But she soon gave up her random thoughts.

He took two quick steps and followed him.

After sending the two girls back to school and having a meal in the cafeteria, Wang Shen returned to the hotel.

Not long after I returned, I received a call from a director of the School of Materials Science and Technology, saying that the vice-dean would personally lead a team to Jeju Myeongde Company for an on-site inspection and to discuss cooperation matters.

Wang Shen was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately called the company's general manager Zhong Xianmin and the laboratory's Professor Zhang Boxian to let them prepare for the reception.

And he also took out his mobile phone to order a flight ticket back to Jeju tomorrow.

After finishing all this, he replied to Rebecca's message.

After waiting for a while, Rebecca and Ashley rushed over.

"Wang, oh, you really surprised me, you are actually a chef."

Ashley said with an exaggerated expression as soon as she came up.

"No, I am a businessman, and chef is just my hobby!" Wang Shen corrected her mistake with a smile.

"It's not important. What's important is that I want to invite you to my restaurant. I think my customers will like it!"

Rebecca continued to translate for Ashley.

"To America?"

"Yes! This is a good idea, isn't it? I think we will have a great time working together!"

Wang Shen immediately understood that this was just treating him as a gimmick!

Let yourself go on a "performance" tour in her restaurant!

It was a good idea, but he didn't have the time.

Since he didn't plan to go, Wang Shen bluntly rejected Ashley's invitation.

Ashley was a little regretful when she heard this, but she still said that she welcomes Wang Shen to go to the United States at any time and that she will be his best tour guide!

"Okay, thank you for the invitation, I think I will go if I have time!"

Wang Shen did not refuse directly. If he opened his own fried rice restaurant in the future, wouldn't he be able to get the other party's endorsement?

This kind of resource is not used in vain!
The two sides chatted for a while before the two girls left Wang Shen's room.

If we talk about it before, the two foreign girls just thought Wang Shen was Chinese and took the initiative to strike up a conversation, so they were willing to contact him.

So with the demonstration of Wang Shen's cooking skills, they already intend to treat Wang Shen as a foreign friend.

So after resting for half an afternoon, they took the initiative to invite Wang Shen to go with them to check out Chinese delicacies nearby.

Wang Shen had nothing else to do at this time, so he readily agreed.

Then the three of them visited nearby gourmet restaurants like food bloggers.

The girls also took photos of their tour and prepared to upload them to foreign social media.

But Wang Shen didn't want to show up.

So there are only two of them in the picture.If you can have two foreign girls by your side when shopping, and their looks are so pleasing to the eye, they will definitely be the focus of everyone's attention in Yizhou City.

But here, you can only get used to it.

However, there are still occasional people who pay attention.

The two girls were stunned by the endless variety of Chinese food. The same ingredient can be prepared in so many ways.

Although they only ate a little bit of special food from each shop, it still kept their bellies full.

Eventually I couldn't eat anymore.

The two also discussed that Wang Shen would continue to hang out with them tomorrow.

However, Wang Shen had other business matters, so he naturally declined.

The three of them wandered around until after nine o'clock in the evening, and then returned to the hotel together.

Looking at the girls' graceful figures, Wang Shen felt a little restless.

It's a pity that these two girls only have eyes for food.

After the three of them parted ways in the hotel, Wang Shen returned to his room.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Wang Shen called Fu Xinran and took a taxi to the airport.

In Tongji campus, Fu Xinran felt empty after knowing that Wang Shen had returned to Jeju.

During the class, I unconsciously started to wander, and the pen in my hand was drawing randomly on the paper.

She didn't listen at all to what the teacher said. She only thought about the happy and interesting things she had experienced after meeting Wang Shen.

It wasn't until the teacher called for get out of class to end that she suddenly woke up and was about to close her notebook and leave the classroom. When she looked down, she couldn't help but blush.

I saw that the words Wang and Shen were written densely on the notebook!

……

In the reception room of Myeongde Company in Jeju City, Wang Shen and a group of senior executives warmly welcomed a group of people from the School of Chemical Engineering of Tongje University.

In the following days, the two parties conducted detailed discussions on cooperation matters related to the transformation of experimental products.

and reached a basic intention of cooperation.

Three days later, the two parties held a signing and cooperation ceremony at the School of Chemical Engineering of Tongji University.

Including the transformation of new material achievements, the construction of new material teaching and research bases, authorization of related material applications, and the design of new material production and processing equipment.

This time Wang Shen came in a hurry and left in a hurry. He didn't meet Fu Xinran and the others. He just made a phone call and returned to Jeju with his employees after signing the contract.

Because with Tongji University taking over, the conversion efficiency will definitely increase a lot, and it is estimated that results will be achieved in one or two months.

At that time, the reconstruction of the factory building, the recruitment of workers, and the use of the site will all need to be planned in advance.

And the most important thing, raise money!

This is the most important thing!

After returning to Jeju, Wang Shen contacted President Sun and explained the company's situation.

President Sun heard that it was a joint project with Tongji University, and it also had patent rights.

If there was any hesitation, he directly called the vice president of the branch that Wang Shen had met before.

Soon, President Sun obtained verbal permission from the head office leader and started the approval process for Wang Shen's loan.

In just over a week, the corporate loan with Mingde Company as the borrower was approved by China Construction Bank.

When the financial director told him that all 2000 million funds had been transferred into the company's account, Wang Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

The funds are sufficient for the time being!

With the arrival of loan funds and the conclusion of research and development cooperation, Mingde Company has officially entered a period of stability.

Time flew by to the end of December. As soon as Wang Shen arrived at the company office, he received an unexpected phone call.

It was a call from the young chef I met in Xanadu.

After thinking about it for a month, I decided to come to Jeju and work alone with Wang Shen!
Wang Shen asked him to come directly in the car without saying anything.

Wang Shen himself will definitely not be a full-time chef, but he also doesn't want the skills given by the system to go to waste.

So the idea of ​​opening a store came up.

It's like killing two birds with one stone. If the restaurant runs well, he can not only make money, but he can also create a simple food culture and form his own IP!

If it doesn't work well, the worst it can do is pay some rent, which is equivalent to having an apprentice and passing on the skills!

After hanging up the phone, Wang Shen rubbed his eyebrows and began to think about where to open a store.

The location cannot be bad, and the store does not need to be too big, but the decoration must be grand and classy.

But this kind of place is really hard to find.

Rental prices in several prosperous road sections suitable for Jeju are too expensive, and short-term rentals are not available.

After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Shen decided to find a Zhongbuliu area first, spread his skills first, and wait until Sun Hao (the young chef's name is Sun Hao) has learned a lot and can hold up the mainstay, and then look for prosperity. Open a store in a location.

After making up his mind, Wang Shen drove away from the company and rushed to downtown Jeju to look for suitable housing.

After searching around, I found that the passenger flow in slightly better areas is no less than that in urban areas, and some luxury residential areas prefer to be built in places with beautiful mountains and clear waters.

Wang Shen walked into the commercial street next to Shanshui Yayuan Community and inquired about the operation of a restaurant.

"Business is not easy to do. There are few people to eat and many restaurants. It is no better than before." The boss is in his 40s and is a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head!

"I don't think Douyin is quite lively?" Wang Shen asked casually.

"Those are all from photos. Catering is easy to do, but it's also very fluid and relies too much on location. I've only had this store for less than two years..."

There were no customers at this time, so the boss started chatting with Wang Shen in a leisurely manner.

After leaving this store, Wang Shen looked for a few larger restaurants and asked the lobby manager or restaurant manager.

Most of them are quite willing to chat.

The conversation lasted until around four or five o'clock in the afternoon, when Sun Hao got off the high-speed train with his suitcase.

When Wang Shen received his call, he asked Da Liu to pick him up outside the high-speed rail station, and then booked him a room in the hotel.

When Sun Hao saw that Wang Shen actually had a car and a driver, he was immediately filled with new hope for the future.

The originally anxious heart became much calmer.

He has a pretty good job, the salary is not low, and the working environment is still in a restaurant with Michelin stars.

When they heard that he was resigning, many colleagues didn't understand.

Even his family didn't support it.

But after much hesitation, he decided to come to Jeju to give it a try. Even if he failed, he would at least upgrade his fried rice skills.

Early the next morning, Wang Shen drove to the hotel and met with Sun Hao. He asked some greetings such as how the accommodation was going and how the food was.

After chatting in the living room for a while, Wang Shen took Sun Hao to visit the streets and alleys of Jeju City.

I also visited several restaurants mentioned on the Internet that make a lot of money.

It is indeed very lively inside, and the customer flow is much higher than that of ordinary restaurants.

When the two walked in, they were surprised to see several diners holding up cameras and chatting.

These people should be the so-called Tandian Internet celebrities!
Wang Shen was surprised to see it, so he observed it for a while.

Although these anchors are of different ages and are both male and female, they are still very diligent in introducing the dishes.

However, Wang Shen glanced secretly from behind and saw that not many people were giving rewards to these anchors, and the number of them was not large.

It seems like these are just some low-profile local internet celebrities.
