National Tide 1980

In addition to the smart and capable Yin Yue, Ning Weimin also has two capable right-hand men who are also loyally looking after his property.

That is Zhang Shihui and Du Yang from Tan Gong Restaurant.

Although Ning Weimin's people have left.

But precisely because he clearly divided the interests of his two subordinates in advance, and whether he could get commissions in the future would depend on Du Yang's performance in opening a branch, he was completely like a grasshopper on a rope.

Therefore, the operation of the Altar Palace was as ideal and stable as he had arranged before leaving.

Today, Zhang Shihui and Du Yang are not only able to perform their respective duties, but they can even work together.

For example, after discussion, the two of them unanimously decided to sign a long-term supply and sales contract for fresh food with the Chongwenmen Vegetable Market in the district.

As a result, during this summer and autumn, the variety of dishes at Tan Gong Restaurant has become more abundant, and the quality of the food has been more fully guaranteed.

For example, Ning Weimin "invented" several special dishes for Tan Palace before he left, such as salt and pepper mushrooms, pine nut corn, oyster sauce lettuce, crab roe tofu, duck egg yolk baked pumpkin...

Because in the predecessor of Ning Weimin, these dishes were originally proven by the catering market in the capital, became popular, and lasted all year round, and were definitely in line with public tastes.

In addition, the raw materials are not canned goods, and salted eggs are not used instead of crab roe.

Everything is made of genuine materials, so naturally it has a huge reputation.

In fact, these dishes have become very popular seasonal dishes among customers as soon as they were launched this year.

The number of orders has already caught up with peach blossom pan, emerald soup, clear jasmine soup, and fried magnolia sticks, which are the famous dishes brought by famous chefs.

Even Ning Weimin’s steamed rice bowl, which was just brought back recently, has been well received because Chongwenmen Vegetable Market can provide relatively fresh seafood from Jinmen.

Especially for Japanese customers, it is a must-order for everyone.

Therefore, now Dangong Restaurant is not only recognized by Europeans and Americans, but also satisfied by Japanese people.

Even domestic workplaces that have wine tables all year round have identified this place.

Those who know how to eat and love to eat feel that the chefs here are not only qualified, but also innovative, which always surprises people, which is really rare.

As a result, there were constant new customers, old customers, and returning customers every day, and the banquet schedule was fully booked almost every day.

At present, no matter Fangshan or Tingli Restaurant, they can no longer compete with Tan Gong Restaurant in terms of turnover and reputation.

Let’s use an analogy: if the catering industry in Beijing is like a martial arts world, it’s like a martial arts world.

The imitation meal is naturally Shaolin, and Tingli Hall may be regarded as Wudang.

But the question is who is Tan Gong Restaurant?

In fact, it has become the same existence as the sword demon Dugu Qiubai in Daxia Jin's novel.

As the saying goes, with the Dugu Nine Swords in hand, there is no one in the world who can resist. If you meet a monk, you will be a monk. If you meet an old Taoist, you will destroy the old Taoist.

From this point of view, even if Ning Weimin went to Tokyo, he could not be considered successful, but at least he could do what he wanted to do in a foreign country without any worries.

In addition, in order to raise enough start-up funds for himself as soon as possible, Du Yang also made full use of the advantages of summer activities in the Temple of Heaven Park to effectively expand profits.

Whenever Ganqing hosted a small banquet with a small number of people, he would imitate Ning Weimin's actions at the temple fair.

Decorate the spare room of Beishen Kitchen into a traditional teahouse, invite actors from Dagu Shu and Qinshu, and open it to the public.

As a result, this hand has fully benefited from the flow of traffic in the Temple of Heaven Park.

The minimum consumption per person is five yuan, and just selling some tea and snacks every day can sell for 6,800 yuan. In less than a month, Tan Palace has gained a net profit of 140,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan.

In the end, it even got to the point where it was too late to get rid of the stall.

Because if there is a large-scale banquet that day, the teahouse will not be able to open, and many customers who come will be unhappy.

These people always have to block the door and complain to the people in the restaurant unwillingly before leaving.

Look at what's going on here, there are still people who are addicted to such expensive tea?

So in this way, Du Yang, who had a heavy workload every day and had no time to spare, had to ask Zhang Shihui, who was relatively free, to come forward and discuss countermeasures with the leaders of the Temple of Heaven on his behalf.

Let’s see if we can actually set up a teahouse outside Beishen Kitchen. It would be best to turn this temporary project into a regular one.

As a result, Du Yang owed Zhang Shihui another favor, and the cooperative relationship between the two became increasingly close.

Who can say that this is not a different kind of fate?

But then again, although Zhang Shihui was mentioned by Ning Weimin, he does have the advantage of "not being able to work together, but being able to work together".

But this guy's temperament is out-of-the-box, and he does still lack a little bit of quality.

He is a person who shines brightly when given a little sunshine. Whenever he accomplishes something or achieves some small achievements, he will feel proud.

I often don’t know how much I weigh.

I think back then, Du Yang and Pan Long once said that if Zhang Shihui could take over Ning Weimin's position, it would be a villain's success.

Although they said this out of anger and with great personal emotions, it may not be entirely wrong.

No, when Du Yang came to ask for help, Zhang Shihui became more and more aware of his own importance. He sincerely felt that he was the legendary pillar of the sky and the purple golden beam that held the sea.

It seems that Tan Gong can't survive without him. He can only support such a large stall. That's a lot of hard work.

In addition, when Ning Weimin left, the office also belonged to him.

Every day this guy sits behind the executive desk, he feels more and more like a leader, and his reputation grows accordingly.

Not only does he require everyone at Tan Gong Restaurant to call him "Mr. Zhang" when meeting him, but he is also far more liberal and extravagant than Ning Weimin in terms of material enjoyment.

Take the daily work meals as an example. Zhang Shihui is greatly out of touch with the masses, so he has to order expensive meals.

Every meal of the day must have delicacies from the mountains and seas, a Manchurian barbecue, and some wine. This is called delicious food.

It is by no means like Ning Weimin who pays attention to nutrition and eats whatever is suitable for his taste.

And that's not the end of it. It's enough to be corrupt behind closed doors. The key is that he still doesn't stop and loves to complain.

Take the night of September 24th as an example. After eating and drinking in the office, this kid took out the cigar Ning Weimin put in the drawer and lit it.

He also had to sit down on his desk, with his feet on Ning Weimin's chair, pointing and complaining into the air.

He was so virtuous, as if he was teaching Ning Weimin a lesson.

"Come on, brother, we haven't sat together and had a good chat for a long time. Let's go one by one. This glass of wine has two meanings. First, I'm sorry, I have to say something first. You You kid is so unjust! You just threw it at me when you asked for such a big deal. You don’t even think about me raising my family and traveling to Tokyo to eat, drink, and pick up beautiful Japanese girls. What is this? Selling friends for glory, do you think you are worthy of me?"

"Ah, is it easy to be a caterer in our capital? Now our store has become more famous, we have more customers, and we are all on a higher level. We have to burn incense in every temple, and we have to worship all the gods. Co-authored You keep the good things for yourself, so let me stay and endure the hardships to pull the cart for you. What about sharing the joys and sorrows, that sounds nice. Are you going to Japan to open a branch? Who are you confused about? I think you just want to run there. Go and be a stinking capitalist in Huahua World. I also remind you, I’ll let you go if I’m sorry. You must never let go of the country or the nation. You really don’t care about your ancestors. When I see you again, I’ll be the first one to slap you.”

"Second, it's a cliché. As a brother, I really need to advise you. No matter how great your abilities are, what can you do? Who hasn't been like this all his life? Don't be too high-spirited. No matter what you do, you can't become an immortal. Look good. Look at those officials, no matter how glorious they were when they were in office, what do they have after they retire? They have spent their whole life in the army, going through life and death, but in the end they have not been nourished by us? What a loss."

"Of course, none of us are officials. Money is more important than power, and it will always be close to you. But for you, how much money is enough? You should be content. I am not the elder brother who is saying this to you. You should be the most important at the moment. What you are thinking about is not how to make money, but about personal issues. Learn from me. Being able to give birth to a son is your real skill. Otherwise, who will you leave your family fortune to? Even if you want to give birth to a daughter, we can get married. Isn’t it an in-law’s family?”

"Hey, don't be petty. I'm not worried about your property. I'm just not as good at making money as you, so my son will still be a millionaire in the future. What's more, facts have proven that my ability is also No worse than you. Look, how well did I manage Tan Palace for you? Not only did Du Yang Mao'er ask me to straighten it out, but now he sees me behaving well and being obedient. Those things you told me, I’ll do it for you properly.”

"I'll give you your antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and woodware twice a day. How big a project is this? Who but me cares so much about looking after your belongings for you? I don't let anyone else take care of your handicrafts, tobacco, and alcohol. After passing the deal, your share will be deposited into the account you gave me. Just thank me properly. Do you know? Under the noses of so many people, how risky is it for me to do this by myself? Not to mention that I have to bear the burden. Under pressure, you went around looking for people through connections, and converted all the money in the public and private accounts into Japanese yen according to your request."

"You, you, you are so damn troublesome. The more you talk about it, the angrier it becomes. I will never be able to make friends with you easily in my life. And the only thing you did right was to finally give up and leave the restaurant to me. . I also tell you, in fact, I can not only maintain success, but also conquer the world. If I really go out to open a branch, I am no worse than any of you. It's just that I am too lazy to fight and unwilling to grab it. Hey, this is called hiding one's strength and biding one's time, taking advantage of opportunities. Leave it to others, do you understand? We never do that thin donkey shit..."

It has to be said that Zhang Shihui obtained sufficient spiritual comfort and soul satisfaction through this.

However, just when Zhang Shihui was spitting out foam and talking about working hard.

Coincidentally, at this time, there was a knock on the office door.

"Who is it? What's going on? Come in..."

Zhang Shihui, whose interest was interrupted by this voice, was of course unhappy.

He slipped out of his desk, straightened his shirt, put out his cigar, and sat on his seat with a gloomy face.

As a result, it was Liu Jianxing who came in. Zhang Shihui didn't look good, but his expression softened.

Because this boy was the waiter who cooperated with Ning Weimin and persecuted Jiang Hao and the others.

Now that he has been promoted as the foreman, he can be regarded as Ning Weimin's confidant in Tan Palace.

As the saying goes, when you beat a dog, it depends on the owner. Being nice to this kid also gives Ning Weimin face.

What's more, Liu Jianxing did have something important to report, and he wasn't just bothering him for some trivial matter.

"Mr. Zhang, go and have a look. All the guests in the 'Huangqian Palace' room drank too much, especially the director of the Temple of Heaven Park. They all fell asleep after drinking. What do you think of this? This old man is so You are old, and you are drunk like this, nothing will happen, right? Should we send him to the hospital, or send him home?"

"What? The director drank too much!"

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Shihui stood up and frowned.

"Can't? Who dares to drink from him?"

In fact, it's not surprising that he was so confused. The leaders of the Temple of Heaven Park booked two banquets in the Tan Palace private room today.

Despite the high standards, all kinds of delicious dishes were delivered like water, and bottles of Wuliangye were also uncorked and poured into goblets.

But this was not to entertain foreign guests, but because the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day were approaching, the director donated all his one-month consumption coupons to boost the morale of his subordinates for the upcoming first Temple of Heaven Lantern Festival.

In the whole table, this old man had the highest official position.

The rest of the people are his subordinates, and the only thing they can do is to express their respect by toasting and making fun remarks to make the leader happy.

The old man could only raise the glass and touch his lips. How could he be drunk?

Unexpectedly, Liu Jianxing's response made Zhang Shihui even more confused.

"You are right, no one drinks from the director, but... you can't stop the director from drinking wine by himself..."

"Ah? How is this possible! An hour ago, I went over to toast the director in person. You were right next to me, right? He was very clear-headed at the time. He also said that he was too old to dare You drank too much. I asked you to turn on the TV in the private room to watch "Xinwen Lianbo". In just such a short time, he drank himself to sleep? "

"Yes, yes, but I...I don't know what happened. I just went out to pass the food around for a while. As soon as I came back, the atmosphere seemed to be different. The director was very happy and took the initiative to add wine and food. I ordered two more large bottles of Japanese sake and added two roast ducks. Maybe they thought it was boring, so these guys kept drinking it. From what I heard, it seemed...it seemed like they didn't know what happened to the Temple of Heaven, just because of Japan. They made a windfall, and there was a lot of extra money in the accounts. Anyway, everyone at the table was happy, and they also said that as soon as the Lantern Festival is over, money will be distributed to all the employees of the park. This time, each cadre will have at least 500, and the staff will receive 200 yuan. 100. Listen, is it scary? Well, when did the Temple of Heaven become so generous! It compares to our Tan Palace..."

"Hey, what did you say? Where are you talking about? What does it have to do with the Japanese? The more you talk about it, the more confused I become! Come on, I won't ask you anymore. Let's hurry over..."

Zhang Shihui didn't dare to delay any longer. With a lot of questions, he went to see for himself what was going on.

As expected, everyone in this private room was drunk.

In addition to the director, the deputy secretary also put his head on the table and fell unconscious.

Some of the others were lying on the Arhat bed, and some were slumped on the Taishi chair. Although their eyes were open, they could not stand up.

Some people sang inarticulately, "The sun sets over the western mountains...the red clouds fly..."

At first glance, you can tell that he must have been a soldier. The song that came out of his mouth when he was so drunk was the most memorable military song.

Even the few people responsible for looking after the principal and deputy secretary could not stand still and were holding on to things while discussing what to do.

It was Liu Jianxing who had the foresight and rushed over in time to pull away the guy who mistakenly used Zhang Shihui as a urinal.

"Don't bother me, please don't bother me. This is our Mr. Zhang, and this is not a toilet. Please don't pick up your dick here. Come on, I'll take you there for your convenience. Slow down, slow down..."

I heard that everyone had gone out, muttering drunken words.

"It's not a toilet? I... I said... this... urinal is... the wrong size..."

Okay, look at this scene, this is a ferocious drink.

There is no one in this room who looks like a leader. How can this Shihui not be impressed?

Not to mention that a second look revealed that someone in the room had already vomited, and that smell...

Ouch, I can’t describe it at all, people can’t stand it.

But even if things get messed up like this, can Zhang Shihui get angry?

Absolutely not!

Not to mention that these are all guests who come to eat. Logically speaking, they are the food and clothing parents of the restaurant. No matter how hard it is, they can only bear it.

The key person is still one of the investors of Tan Palace.

What's more, they have a cooperative relationship that breaks bones and connects tendons.

To put it bluntly, these are all relatives, and they are older than you. What can you do?

So there is nothing to say, I can only hold my nose and continue to be a filial son and grandson.

Zhang Shihui quickly called someone from outside to clean up, and brought towels and hot water to those who were still conscious so that they could take care of them.

I also came over to check on the principal and deputy secretary. I planned to drive the two leaders home personally if there was nothing serious.

But let alone all kinds of grievances and annoyances, after Zhang Shihui chatted with the only acquaintance who was not drunk to the point of confusion - the deputy director, he could instantly understand this illogical drunkenness. .

And the mood was very good, and it immediately turned from cloudy to sunny, and the sun was shining.

what's up?

The leadership team of Daqing Tiantan was very happy, not for anything else, but because they saw the news on the capital's "Xinwen Lianbo" about the rapid appreciation of the yen, leading to a surge in the Tokyo stock market.

You know, it was only the day after the Plaza Accord was signed, and the yen had already appreciated by as much as 10% against the US dollar.

And at this time, not only did the Japanese yen rise against the U.S. dollar, but the U.S. dollar also rose against the RMB.

This impact on the Temple of Heaven Park is no longer limited to proving that Ning Weimin went to Japan to open the Tan Palace Restaurant, which was a brilliant move.

More importantly, out of his deep trust in Ning Weimin, the director of the Temple of Heaven used his connections to find ways after he went abroad, and tried his best to convert the funds in the park's account into Japanese yen.

In total, I probably exchanged 800,000 yuan for 50 million yen.

So this is great. As soon as the yen rises, the Temple of Heaven Park will make a lot of money.

Because just this month, the official US dollar to RMB exchange rate has been changed from 1:2.28 to 1:3.2, and the adjustment price has been changed from 1:3.08 to 1:3.52.

On the black market, which best reflects actual prices, one U.S. dollar can already be exchanged for six to seven RMB.

In other words, before Ning Weimin left, he exchanged sixty yen for one yuan, and today it became thirty-six yen.

In fact, it means that the yen has appreciated by more than 50% against the renminbi, and it is easy to make half of the profit.

The 800,000 RMB from the Temple of Heaven would be converted back into more than 1.2 million RMB. Who can’t be excited about this!

No one else said it, but even Zhang Shihui's eyes turned green, his mouth opened, and he almost fell down after hearing the news.

You know, compared to the Temple of Heaven Park, Tan Palace spared no effort in doing this.

Just through Zhang Shihui's hand, 1.5 million RMB has been exchanged.

Even Zhang Shihui himself exchanged 280,000 yuan for it, spending more than half of his family's belongings in it.

Do you think he can stop being high?

Fortunately, Ning Weimin was in Tokyo at this time.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to calm down tonight.

Zhang Shihui would definitely rush to his home, hold his thigh and worship him.

At the same time, we have to ask carefully whether he has opened his heavenly eyes, how can he be so able to calculate, and even calculate such things.

If there is no heavenly eye, then he must be the illegitimate son of the God of Wealth, otherwise there is no way to explain this!

How could he even stick out his butt and pull out such amazing shit! It’s also 24K gold?
