Chapter 284 Time for Qualifiers

The young man's words interrupted the thinking of all the masters.

This is something that no one has thought of. This is the limitation of the age.

Short videos have become popular in the past two years, and most young people are playing them.

The audience is very wide!
If it is promoted on the short video platform, it may be more effective than the promotion on TV.

This is the advantage of the Internet age, and the masters present, although they live in this age, are not young people who can have such a strong receptivity.

So it's normal to not think about it.

"Xiao Liu, can you explain it carefully?" Lin Yong said.

The staff member called Xiao Liu was a little cautious, but he still talked about the advantages of the short video.

Low cost, wide audience, convenience and so on.

The masters present, having lived such an old age, quickly understood the advantages of short video promotion.

"Then...we have to create an official account." Lin Yong said.

Xiao Liu: "President, in fact, we already have an account."

Lin Yong: "Really? Why don't I know when it happened?"

Xiao Liu: "A few months ago, I applied to you, and you agreed."

That's right, this little Liu is the operator of the official short video account of the Sichuan Chefs Association.

Lin Yong recalled it for a while, and it seemed that such a thing happened, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and if he didn't mention it, he really couldn't remember it.

"Since you have an account, let's start promoting it." Lin Yong said to Xiao Liu.

"Okay, but it's time for you to cooperate with a few masters." Xiao Liu said.

Lin Yong: "This is no problem."

With Lin Yong's nod, Xiao Liu was naturally extremely excited.

For a long time, the network operation department has not received much attention, let alone the person in charge of his short video account.

The chef association is more responsible for coordination, such as the chef grade examination, some cooking competitions, and even food programs, the chef association also coordinates.

How to coordinate?You don't have to be a chef for competitions or filming shows?

The Chefs Association is going to help coordinate this. After all, the Chefs Association is also a semi-official organization.

However, there are very few people in the operation department of the Chefs Association, and they are not usually taken seriously.

After all, the Chefs Association is not a company that produces products, and it is rarely used for publicity.

However, although sparrows are small and well-equipped, there are still departments that should be there, it's just a matter of the number of people.

Xiao Liu was naturally happy. He had been watching for so long, so he naturally knew the importance of publicity for this competition.Naturally, he was very excited that this important task could fall on his head.

Of course, you can't eat alone, you still have to share points with other groups.

Regarding the specific promotion, Lin Yong didn't say much at the meeting, and it will be fine to discuss it when the time comes.

This also made Lin Yong realize that some things still have to be left to young people to do.An old man like himself is gradually falling behind the times.

A certain thought in my heart is getting heavier and heavier.

After that, they discussed the time for the qualifiers. This time is actually quite ample, after all, the real competition will not be until next year.

"I think the time can be earlier, so that they have enough time to prepare the ingredients. This is also the practice in previous years."

"I think it can be postponed a little bit, after all, publicity also takes time."

"I also agree that it should be earlier, preferably in July and August, when the ingredients are abundant and there are more dishes to cook."

"Actually, it's better to be late. Only when the publicity effect is achieved will people come to see it. As for the ingredients, I don't know
I think the current season is still the reason for restricting ingredients, except for some special ingredients. "

Lin Yong looked down and argued endlessly, each of them had their own reasons, and after listening carefully, they were all reasonable.

"Xiao Liu, what do you think?" Lin Yong asked suddenly.

Lin Yong's sudden question made Xiao Liu a little at a loss.

He was in charge of the previous publicity, but... he was not in charge of determining the game time.

He knew it was impossible to let himself decide, but this opportunity to make a suggestion was also rare.

Thinking quickly in his mind, after a while, Xiao Liu said: "I think we can push the time to next year."

Xiao Liu's words are amazing, and it will be pushed to next year?This was something that everyone present had never thought about. They said that the delay would be like August or September at most.

Lin Yong also frowned upon hearing this, but since he asked the question, he still wanted to hear what Xiao Liu had to say.

"People nowadays are very forgetful. We will promote it for a while, and some people may be interested. But if the time interval between the qualifiers and the knockouts is too long, then the attention will definitely be reduced. It is better to postpone the qualifiers. It is best to be seamless with the knockouts In this way, with the popularity of the qualifiers, more people will pay attention to the knockout rounds." Xiao Liu said.

Lin Yong nodded, unable to deny it.

Xiao Liu's thinking is actually correct. From the perspective of publicity, Xiao Liu's thinking is good.

But he didn't think about it from the chef's point of view.

Why is there such a long time between the qualifiers and the knockout rounds?Its main purpose is to give people enough preparation time.

Participating in the knockout round, it is impossible to prepare only one dish.Generally, four or five dishes are prepared, and even seven or eight dishes are prepared.

This is to better deal with emergencies during the game.

The preparation of these dishes, in addition to the time required for the ingredients, is also very important to practice.

In order to allow every chef participating in the knockout round to participate at the peak level, such a long preparation time was given.

And if the qualifiers are too late, the preparation time for the chefs participating in the knockout rounds will be rushed.

Therefore, it is impossible to seamlessly connect the qualifiers and the knockout rounds.

Everyone discussed for a while, and Lin Yongcai made a decision: "The time should be set in mid-July. June is the college entrance examination, and mid-July has given enough time for publicity."

When the time was set, Lin Yong invited everyone to dinner.

……

Here, Jiang Yang is also very busy.

There are a lot of guests, although they are not too busy, but they are busy enough.

This was different from his original imagination. He thought it had just opened, so there probably weren't many customers.

As a result, as soon as it opened yesterday, these old customers came to join in, which really surprised Jiang Yang.

Today, many people who work around choose to eat in the Jiangyang restaurant.

Although the price is more expensive than ordinary restaurants, the taste is not worse than that of big restaurants, but the price is much cheaper.

In addition, yesterday's opening was quite popular, which played an invisible publicity.

Of course, word of mouth from some customers is the root cause of the good business of Jiangyang store.

……

Lin Yong had a headache, and it was right to arrange a meal for all the masters.But where to eat can be a bit of a headache.

Go to a better restaurant, probably a certain master's own.

When I went to some restaurants, all the chefs present were master chefs.

A few years ago, Lin Yong had a headache because of this matter.

But now, Lin Yong has a choice - to go to Jiangyang's store!

Firstly, Jiang Yang was not a disciple of any master, and secondly, he was taught by many masters.

No matter how you look at it, it is a good choice to go to Jiangyang.

After all, Jiang Yang will not offend any master if he is scolded!
Now that things have happened, I have no choice but to let you kid take the blame.Lin Yong thought.

"Where are you going to eat? Old Lin?" Someone asked.

On occasions, he is called President Lin, but in private, he is called Lao Lin.

After all, everyone's status is similar, so you also have the status of the president of the Chef Association, but this status is really nothing in the eyes of the masters.

But in public, calling President Lin is to save face.

"Today, I will take you to a shop opened by a junior."

"Junior? Old Lin, it can't be your apprentice."

"It's not my apprentice, you will know when you arrive."
