Gao Fei frowned slightly: "Oh? I have carefully calculated it many times and think that 10 million should be more than enough."
Mary pointed out mercilessly: "Mr. Gao, what you expected was only the standard of Western restaurants of the same level in southern Hebei. And according to our German Light's new store preparation standards, this budget is indeed insufficient. If nothing else, just Promotional activities after opening, unprofitable sales within three months, and necessary publicity expenses will require an additional investment of at least 5 million yuan.”
Gao Fei frowned: "You want so much?"
Mary affirmed: "This is a must. And in order to let customers feel the class and quality of the restaurant, we plan to bring in all the chefs, bartenders, waiters, hostesses and pianists from the German Light headquarters in Germany, a total of 20 people." People. Their monthly salary is on average 10,000 euros or 100,000 yuan, so the salary expenses during the three-month non-profit period are as high as 6 million yuan.”
Gao Fei was shocked: "This...is this too high?"
Mary explained: “These people earn less than half of their monthly salary when working at home but need to pay additional allowances and fees when working abroad to ensure that their living standards are not affected.”
Gao Fei smiled bitterly: "You really have come all the way here just for money." He turned to Mary and asked: "Then can you replace some of the unimportant positions with people from our side?"
Mary shook her head firmly: "No. All service staff of the 139 German Lights in the world must come from Germany. This is a rigid rule of the headquarters. Our purpose of doing this is to ensure that customers can enjoy the most authentic , the best Western food experience.”
Gao Fei took a deep breath of cigarette and fell into deep thought. After giving Mary a signal to sit down, Katrina looked at Guedes again. Gerdes raised his glass knowingly and said to Gao Fei: "Although Gao Fei's words are direct, her suggestions are indeed to build a first-class brand, which is crucial for our long-term development in the future. So I still recommend that you follow her suggestions." To implement. And we have done research before coming to China. As a medium-sized and large city, there are hundreds of thousands of wealthy people in the urban area who can afford such high-quality Western food.”
"Of course I understand this, otherwise I would not choose to get involved in the field of Western restaurants." Gao Fei flicked the ash from his cigarette and turned to Gerdes with a solemn expression, "Gedes, although we are brothers, there is an old Chinese saying, It's called 'brothers, settle accounts'. I'm not calling you to invite you to join, but I hope you can lend me a helping hand and give me some support. Moreover, I plan to create my own brand, not to follow the "Germany" brand. "The name of light, do you understand what I mean?"
Before Gerdes spoke, Mary, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up and said in a cold tone: "Mr. Gao, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
Gao Fei's eyes were calm and she asked, "What's wrong?"
A trace of contempt flashed in Mary's eyes, and she spoke bluntly: "Mr. Gao, you intend to use the service model of 'German Light' and regard us as your supplier to build your own brand. With such a plan, do you think we will Agree easily? Just because Mr. Gerdes is friends with you?" She paused and said in a serious tone, "Mr. Gao, please don't misunderstand me. As the senior assistant to the president of 'German Light', I must be responsible for Miss Katrina. "
Gao Fei smiled softly and looked at Gerdes with a soft but firm voice: "We are more than just friends, we are brothers who depend on each other for life and death. He has helped me twice when I was in the most critical moment. That's why I would make such a request.”
Gerdes took a deep breath and said slowly: "Gao Fei, you remembered wrong, it was three times." His eyes were deep, "But you saved me five times. Without you, I would not be where I am today. If you open If you don’t come to me in the restaurant, I will let you encounter the fourth crisis.”
Gao Fei shook his head and chuckled: "My request may be a bit excessive."
Katrina took over decisively: "But no matter how excessive your request is, on behalf of Gerdes and the Ketwan family, I will fully support you."
When Mary and other assistants heard this, they were all dumbfounded and shocked by Katrina's decision.
Katrina smiled slightly, raised her glass and stood up, looking at Gao Fei firmly: "Gao Fei, I now officially announce that 'German Light' will invest five million euros in your restaurant free of charge. All services. I hope we will have a happy cooperation, and I hope your western restaurant will become a world-renowned brand soon!”
In Mary's opinion, Katrina's generosity was rare, but what made her even more unbelievable was that Gao Fei seemed to have no intention of humility in this regard, as if everything was taken for granted. However, she seemed to have ignored what Gerdes said before - if Gao Fei didn't cooperate with him, he would make Gao Fei face the fourth crisis. Similarly, if the roles were reversed, Gao Fei would behave in the same way.
Mary did not understand that in this world, there were some things whose value far exceeded the interests themselves, and that was the deep friendship between brothers. What's more, she didn't know that the reason why the Ketwan family supported Gao Fei so much was because they needed the cooperation of the Ion Fund more than Gao Fei. And Ni'er, the intern president of Ion Fund, is the father of Gao Fei's child - of course, Mary has no way of knowing this, and the same goes for Gao Fei.
Mary and others are indeed the elites in the shopping mall. After Katrina made her decision, they quickly put aside their prejudice against Gao Fei and began to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the preparation of the restaurant.
As night falls, the lanterns come on. Ying Lengleng drove her white Chevrolet slowly towards the Thai restaurant. This is the place she specially selected to entertain Vice President Chen Facai to give Gao Fei a helping hand. In the past twenty hours, she tried to contact Gao Fei countless times, but in the end she stuck to her principles and did not confide her inner struggle and helplessness.
"Oh, why am I bothering?" Ying sighed coldly, opened the door and got out of the car. When she walked into the restaurant, she immediately saw the black Peugeot car owned by her husband Liu Dema. She frowned slightly, feeling an indescribable emotion well up in her heart. She dialed her husband's phone, with a hint of inquiry and confusion in her voice: "Hey, Dema, are you eating at the Thai restaurant too?" Liu Dema's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: "Oh, yes, I'm having dinner with some clients. I told you before I got off work."
"Hey, Ying Lengleng, what a coincidence. I just remembered that I have just arrived at the entrance of this Thai restaurant. Tonight, I was entrusted by a friend to entertain Vice President Zhang of our school, which is in room 202. ." Ying Lengleng chose to tell the truth after a brief hesitation.
After hearing this, Liu Dema didn't say much: "Hey, we meet everywhere in life. We were about to leave, but you happened to arrive. How about I dine with you?"
Ying smiled coldly and declined: "No, Mr. Liu, I have something to do later and I have to go home as soon as possible. So, just say goodbye. I will drive carefully."
After hanging up the phone, Ying Lengleng felt an indescribable sense of relief in his heart.
As the night gets darker, an elegant lady goes to an appointment alone. Even if she is with a respected elder, she will inevitably be embellished by busybodies, affecting the friendship between her and her husband. But Ying Lengleng knew that as long as she informed her husband in advance, she could avoid these unnecessary suspicions, so she felt more relaxed.
When she stepped into the reservation box on the second floor, Chen Facai had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Ying Lenglen, he stood up with a smile: "Chengcheng, your friend is really making a fuss out of a molehill. Even the smallest things are worthy of your taking it seriously. In my eyes, you are just like my daughter, why do you need to see me like this?" outside?"
Ying Lenglen heard the words, sat down with a smile, and picked up the menu on the table: "Principal Zhang, what delicacies do you want to try tonight? Let me choose for you."
While the two were chatting and laughing, Ying Lengleng asked the waiter to write down the dishes ordered by Principal Zhang. Then, she asked: "Principal Zhang, do you want to taste white wine or red wine tonight?" Chen Facai pointed to a package on the ground with a smile: "Red wine, it is said that men can relax their muscles and activate blood circulation, and women can drink it." It can beautify your skin. This is a bottle of red wine given to me by a friend. I have always been reluctant to drink it, so I will share it with you today.”
Hearing this, Ying Lenglen couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Principal Zhang is so generous. I'm afraid the value of your bottle of wine is more than the dishes I ordered. However, since it's my treat tonight, I'll let you spend the money." ”
After a while, the waiter served exquisite Thai dishes and opened the bottle of red wine for them. The two raised their glasses together, and Ying said coldly: "Principal Zhang, thank you for taking care of and supporting me over the years. I'd like to toast you."
Chen Facai smiled and shook his head: "Chengcheng, you are out of touch when you say that. In my heart, you have always been my daughter."
While the two were chatting and laughing, Ying Lengleng suddenly remembered what his friend had entrusted him with. She took out a bank card from her small bag and put it on the table: "Principal Zhang, my friend asked me to give this to you. There is one hundred thousand yuan in it. I know that this money is only a drop in the bucket for the operation of the school. ,but……"
Before Ying could finish speaking coldly, Chen Facai pretended to be angry and pushed the bank card back: "Chengcheng, what are you doing? Do we still need to see each other like this?"
Ying Leng Leng said coquettishly: "If it were my niece who wanted to go to school, I would naturally not cause any trouble to you. But this is my friend's business..."
Chen Facai looked at Ying Lengleng's shy look and couldn't help laughing: "Chengcheng, you are such a kind kid. But don't worry. This year's enrollment plan is a bit special. As the vice principal, I happen to have three Free admission quota. I was originally thinking about how to use these quotas to gain some benefits, but I didn’t expect you to come to my door. "
Ying Lenglen was overjoyed when he heard this: "Really? That's great!"
Chen Facai smiled and nodded: "Will I lie to you again? Tell that friend of yours and ask her to come to the school office to find me directly a few days before school starts."
At this time, Ying Lengleng suddenly felt dizzy. She raised her hand to cover her forehead and smiled apologetically: "Maybe she was too happy and a little excited. I'm going to the bathroom."
After she turned and left, the smile on Chen Facai's face gradually disappeared, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. After a while, he also left the box.
Quickly crossing the dark staircase corner, Chen Facai took out a potion and murmured in a low voice: "When will the effect of this medicine take full effect? How will she react? Haha, it's really exciting."
After bidding farewell to several customers, Liu Dema walked calmly towards her black Peugeot car. As soon as he opened the car door, his eyes inadvertently glanced at his wife Ying's cold white Chevrolet not far away. The two cars depended on each other quietly like lovers, looking particularly warm in the night.
Liu Dema smiled knowingly, closed the car door, turned and walked towards the restaurant. He was thinking that since he knew Principal Zhang, why not go say hello and spend some time with his wife.
Arriving at the door of room 202, Liu Dema knocked lightly on the door, but there was silence in the room. He pushed the door open and saw Principal Zhang's black briefcase sitting alone on the table, but there was no one in the room.
"Strange, where did they go?" Liu Dema frowned slightly, but then he was relieved and turned around to call his wife to ask. However, a sudden urge to pee forced him to enter the bathroom first.
After gently knocking on the bathroom door and confirming that no one was there, Liu Dema pushed the door open and entered. Perhaps it was because he had been gluttonous with cold dishes before, but after urinating, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and had to squat on the toilet again.
At the same time, after Chen Facai finished his phone call, he walked into the box leisurely. He sat down and took a sip of tea. Soon, Ying Lengleng also hurried in with an apology. Her face was flushed and she was obviously in some discomfort.
"Principal Zhang, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting." After Ying sat down coldly, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead.
"Chengcheng, you are always so polite, why should we be so open to each other?" Chen Facai looked at Ying Lenglen with concern, with a trace of imperceptible greed in his eyes.
Ying Lenglen wanted to leave as soon as possible, but the sudden heat in her body made her feel more hesitant than ever before. She was afraid of losing her composure in front of Principal Zhang, so when Chen Facai proposed a "fight", she agreed without hesitation.
In order to end this embarrassing situation as soon as possible, Ying Lengleng stopped sipping the red wine and drank half the glass of red wine in one gulp. The cold red wine slid down her throat, extinguishing part of the heat in her body and allowing her to temporarily regain some clarity.
Chen Facai looked at Ying's cold face and felt ecstatic in his heart, but on the surface he kept a gentle smile: "Chengcheng, what has your Dema been busy with recently?"
Just when Ying Lengleng was about to mention that her husband was dining at this restaurant tonight, the heat in her body that had been temporarily suppressed by the red wine burned like a fire again. She felt dizzy and fell down on the table.
"Chengcheng! What's wrong with you?" Chen Facai's eyes flashed with a hint of ecstasy at the success of his conspiracy, but he walked over pretending to be concerned and held Ying coldly in his arms.
At this moment, Ying Lenglen felt like she was in a warm embrace, her whole body was light and warm, so comfortable that she almost forgot everything around her. She tried hard to raise her head, trying to see clearly who the man in front of her was, but her vision became increasingly blurry.
"Dema...what are you doing?" Ying's cold voice was weak and confused.
She wanted to grab the man's hand, but accidentally knocked over the wine glass. The crisp sound of the wine glass falling to the ground made her wake up a little, but when she looked at the man again, his face was even blurry.
"Dema...what's wrong with your face? Why can't I see you clearly?" Ying Leng struggled to stand up, but his body was limp and unable to use the strength. (End of chapter)
