Alan nodded and gestured with a smile for Masataka Masataka to continue.
The reason why he suddenly wanted to learn about this catering model, besides a little selfishness, was that it would definitely make money, and the takeaway company he owned had recently...
Poor performance!
It has been operating for several months, but the number of membership cards issued has not yet exceeded one thousand.
This made Alan feel a little unsure.
Are the Welsh people sick?
Don’t you guys eat takeout?
Or is the takeaway not tasty?
Yes... the food in Daying is indeed terrible, but there are some slightly better restaurants on the street, and there are photos of them in the members' magazine!
But these people seemed to be against him, and the performance could not be improved!
In this case, making money or not is secondary, it will dampen employee enthusiasm!
…
So... today, when Alan heard this Japanese classmate chatting in the back, he suddenly realized that the takeout food might not taste good because of the taste, or it might be because of the price!
They are all office workers, and the prices in Britain are not cheap. If they were really rich, many of them would not go shopping in the supermarket at night and grab discounted goods.
Since it is difficult to pluck the wool, just customize professional scissors to pluck it.
If Wales is like this, England won’t be much better even if it is good.
It would be better to open a chain restaurant brand and keep the prices within an acceptable range for ordinary people. In this way, you can also bundle it with your own food delivery company.
Don’t you guys order takeout?
There's cheap and delicious takeout, why not order it?
The cheap fast food that Allen wants to make is French food, and he can invite an expert to give some advice.
Allen has already decided on the candidate for this expert, and it has to be Diana!
His aunt had many connections in France. If he could bring her over, the French cook wouldn't have to worry about it, and he could also find something for Diana to do instead of worrying about emotional issues all day long.
Diana is one of the shareholders of the Blue Knight Group, so it is only natural for her to come and be a consultant to Allen, right?
Even the endorsement fees and salaries are saved.
…
After some explanation from Masaaki Changlong, it turned out that his father returned from studying abroad in the late 1960s and felt deeply the lack of the island's catering industry. There was no Italian food on the streets!
This gave him an opportunity, so he went abroad to learn some skills, and then returned to China to open a mid-range Italian restaurant.
But when they first started the business, business was very bleak and they were losing money every day.
Italian cuisine is much more complicated than many British dishes. It can be said that Italian cuisine is almost as famous as French cuisine. Both are high-end European cuisines.
If you want to ensure quality, you can’t lower the price, and the consumption is high…
Ordinary Japanese people cannot afford it, but the wealthy Japanese people look down on their restaurants, thinking that their restaurant decoration and model are too low-end.
It can be said that it is neither good nor bad.
Later, Zhengyuan Changlong's father learned from his mistakes and, after several large-scale price cuts, the restaurant's prices were almost as low as cabbage, and he finally opened up the market!
In recent years, the economic situation in the island country has been bad, but many people want to be particular, which has given their brand, Saizeriya, an opportunity.
Their restaurants, which have a Western-style environment and very affordable prices, are becoming more and more popular.
Recently, it is in the expansion stage, so his father sent Zhengyuan Changlong to study abroad and let him study the ace logistics major at Cardiff University. His idea is similar to Allen's.
He would recruit classmates whenever possible, and after graduation they would follow him back to the island country to take over the family business.
…
"In other words, you are now using the central kitchen model, pre-preparing semi-finished products according to fixed recipes, and then sending them to various chain stores to increase the speed of serving and reduce costs?"
"Yes, it is!"
Masagi Changtaka was really not on guard against Allen. He was a hereditary noble and was inviting him to dinner. Although the way of invitation was a bit... awkward, it did not affect Masagi Changtaka's awe of Allen, who came from a commoner family.
In his opinion, this was much better than the way the nobles in their country treated the common people!
Now this gentleman is just concerned about his family's business situation. He has almost revealed all the secrets of his father, and he has told him everything he knows.
…
"Uh... Your Excellency, some time ago, I heard from my father that the biggest problem at present is that the price of beef cannot be brought down. You are also aware of the prices in our country."
"!!!"
After hearing what Masanori Masataka said, Alan's eyes lit up even more.
beef!
He has it. Not only does Wales have plenty of it, he also has channels in Australia.
He can also keep the price down, and the beef from the Australian Aboriginal territories is extremely cheap.
All this beef can't be used up just by making instant noodles, now...
It seems there is a channel.
Why?
Alan was just about to be happy, but looking at Zhengyuan Changlong with an honest face, an idea slowly came to his mind: Why should I be happy? There is such a big fat sheep right in front of me. They need a supply chain for overseas transportation, and this is what I am learning now.
Wouldn't it be better to just acquire their chain restaurants?
With their business, we directly copied their model, then poached half of the management staff and moved them to the copied new brand, and directly opened a French fast food restaurant.
In this way, he can save most of the time of groping, and everything is ready!
The power that Allen can wield is simply unimaginable for this small island family.
The supply chain of goods is not a problem for him!
He has channels for chefs, places, connections, food sources, and even transportation!
What's more, now I can practice this new industry and put into practice what I learned in school.
I must be the most luxurious student majoring in logistics.
While others go to outside companies for internship, I directly acquire other companies for internship and then start a new company for internship.
Hmm...very good!
…
"Okay, what you said today is very important and it satisfied my curiosity. If you have the chance in the future, please tell me more about your restaurant. I like your model very much."
Alan stood up with a smile and patted Zhengyuan Changlong on the shoulder. It felt so good to be defenseless against someone. He answered whatever you asked. This kid was really honest.
I wonder what he would think if he knew that Alan had set his sights on their family's business?
"Ah? Okay, okay, you can ask me anytime, sir."
Masagaki Changtaka looked at Alan in confusion and nodded quickly.
…
Allen stayed at home obediently for half a month, during which time he did not rush to attack Thatcher.
Since Ceylon said that someone in their Conservative Party was against her.
Then Alan was not going to continue, not because the conflict between the two sides had been resolved.
But as a count, he doesn't want to be used as a tool by others.
Since they are fighting among themselves, let them fight. I won't get involved. After they are done fighting, Alan will continue to add insult to injury.
During this period, he called Diana and told her about his ideas. He wanted her to come out and help him plan a French restaurant based on her preferences.
The prices of the food should be kept as low as possible, but...
The dishes should also look high-end and have a certain sense of luxury.
Alan didn't know about Diana's other abilities, but she was very good at all these fancy things, such as eating, drinking and having fun!
The job I found for her is very suitable for her.
…
"Master, look..."
In the evening, on the manor lawn, Alan was playing with Xiao Huang.
Hut saw Alan throw a meatball and asked Xiao Huang to catch it. While Alan was drinking water and taking a break, he took a few newspapers and handed them to Alan.
"What?"
Alan took it and looked at it. He found that the parts that needed his review were folded.
Open them one by one and view them.
“…”
"Grass!"
The Americans secretly accused him through some media, but they did not dare to do it too openly, so they could only use articles by some unknown commentators to make sarcastic remarks.
But this is the first piece of news about him recently.
It’s all related to his refusal to withdraw his investment.
Alan originally wanted to write an article to criticize them, but after thinking about it...
If this matter gets out of hand, isn't that exactly what the Americans want to see?
If I fight back directly, I will only bring trouble upon myself and give them an excuse.
But if I don't say anything, I'll just be like a turtle hiding in its shell, which is a bit depressing.
At this moment, to be honest, Alan wanted to go out and hide...
Anyway, the holidays are coming soon, and he is now in Wales, which makes him quite conspicuous. Who knows, someone might have to persuade him again in the near future.
In this case, it’s better to just hide outside and get some peace and quiet.
…
"Ignore them. Hasn't our partner responded to us yet?"
Alan handed the newspaper to Hut and watched Little Yellow staggering back. This silly bird was rather lazy. It stayed at home for too long and always forgot that it could fly.
It is a little fat, but it can really fly. It's just that Xiao Huang doesn't like to fly, it just likes to walk...
Alan now trains it whenever he has time. He throws a ball out and lets it fly to catch it.
but……
After receiving the meatball, Xiao Huang landed on the ground and ate it while walking... He was so lazy that I couldn't bear to watch him.
"Not yet. Mr. Tanaka said that their headquarters has been discussing it."
"snort!"
Alan snorted and threw the meatball further away this time.
The islanders want to take care of both sides.
How can I fulfill their wishes?
It's time to give them a spur.
…
"I remember the new Governor-General of Australia who took office this year is a local, right?"
Alan looked at Xiao Huang flapping his wings reluctantly to chase Meatball, and looked at Hut and asked.
"Yes, I heard that the current Governor-General of Australia has the lowest rank among all the previous Governor-Generals, and they have more and more independent powers."
Hut thought about the news from a few months ago and spoke.
The previous Governor-General of Australia was sent from Britain, but this time they directly used a local person.
What does this mean?
The trend representing the decline of Britain has intensified, and local autonomy has become increasingly powerful.
Alan sighed. It was difficult to deal with the locals. He might as well go there in person to see the situation. With his reputation as an old man, he didn't believe that the newly appointed Governor of Australia didn't want to achieve some results.
For example...
Give Sony two cuts to bleed or something?
You can also stop by to see your own steel plant and the relocated tinplate factory, and then go on a trip.
Um……
Still something is missing, yeah...
I haven't made a film for a long time. Can I find a movie that is suitable to be shot in Australia this time?
"Okay, I got it. You should report to Australia in the next few days and tell them that I will be going there in July to inspect my property. I will also make an appointment with the Governor-General. We can talk then."
Hut blinked and looked at Alan. Was the young master getting impatient and thinking, "Oh my God, is this a sign of trouble?"
But it would be nice to go abroad and have some peace and quiet. There have been too many troubles at home recently.
…
Before going to bed at night, Alan, who had already laid down, suddenly sat up and turned on the bedside lamp.
Looking at the ground not far from his bed.
In Xiao Huang's bird's nest, this guy just lay there, sticking his butt out and sleeping soundly, just like a dog.
Alan suddenly remembered a project and promised Ceylan to try the TV series project.
We filmed a few episodes of that food show, but later Allen had some intermittent things to do, so it was delayed.
The remaining wilderness survival mission was also stranded because of the lack of suitable personnel.
But the plans are mature plans, and it is not a good idea to just leave them alone.
Didn’t George say before that Allen had never filmed a TV show or film aimed at men?
Is it possible to combine these elements?
…
Taking the pillow next to him and stuffing it behind him, Alan half-lay down and pulled the bell to ask the servant to bring him some smoothie dessert.
After waiting for a long time, the servant came over with a large cup of creamy mango smoothie.
After scooping a large spoonful of smoothie to cool down his temper, Alan's mind became clearer.
What are male-oriented TV shows and movies?
Science fiction, crime, explosions, kung fu, do these all count?
But if I take pictures of this, then what's the point of traveling?
So is there any subject that can be photographed without interfering with your fun?
have……
Beauty.
But it’s not enough to just take pictures of beautiful women. You can’t just make a movie with just two people acting and simple scenes, right?
Um?
Is it possible to combine elements of wilderness survival and beautiful women?
A sudden idea flashed in Alan's mind.
Imagine a ragged young lady trying to survive in the wild, with her every move and jump covered in white...
Anyway, don't shoot the environment with your camera, just shoot the people.
Do you really think that the audience is watching this to see how to survive in the wild?
Since all the beauties have appeared, we must be looking at them!
Allen likes to call this kind of survival in the wild the youth version of survival in the wild.
Um……
But there is a problem. The weather in Australia in July is not very good, especially in the south. It is still a bit cold, with temperatures around 10 degrees. If you want to wear cool clothes, you will suffer.
But there are also advantages. The temperature is low, the environment for outdoor shooting is relatively friendly, and there are fewer mosquitoes.
At that time, I will bring the crew, load the equipment, rent a few yachts, record the show during the day, and at night...
It’s quite exciting to think about it!
This idea is okay.
Alan quickly put down the cup, picked up the notebook on the bedside, wrote this down, and asked Patrice to find him a beautiful actress with a good figure and good looks tomorrow.
…
I thought I would have to wait for a while to find the actor, but after Allen told Patrice his requirements the next day, Patrice pondered for a while and then said, "Master... I do know an Australian actor, uh... I can't say she's a local, she was born in the United States, but she immigrated to Australia with her family when she was a child."
"Oh? You look good? Do you have nice skin?"
Alan was a little surprised. Old Patrice was quite capable in his job. How could he get a candidate as soon as he mentioned the requirement?
