Volume 1 Chapter 160 Talking about Cooperation

Mingchu Headquarters, Li Tian Office.

"Those reporters said that yesterday they filmed Yimixiang diners suffering from acute diarrhea and immediately wrote a news report, but their editor-in-chief directly intercepted all news about Yimixiang and refused to publish it. Later, an uninvited guest came to visit and forced them to delete all the videos and photos they had recorded."

Lu Jiao reported the information fed back by the reporters to Li Tian. This incident made her feel that there was a big hand controlling public opinion about Yi Mi Xiang.

Li Tian searched for Yimixiang on major news media websites on the Internet, but found no relevant content.

It was only in some forums with little traffic that I found a post in which someone exposed the large-scale food poisoning incident at Yi Mi Xiang, and it was accompanied by pictures of the dire conditions in Yi Mi Xiang's various branches at the time.

But those forums have little traffic, and these exposed posts have no substantial impact on Yimixiang.

The person who was most affected was a blogger who usually likes to use Weibo. He said that he was eating at Yimixiang at the time and knew the whole incident. He exposed the incident on Weibo, and thousands of people forwarded it and condemned Yimixiang, causing quite a stir.

But soon, the blogger took the initiative to delete the relevant posts and issued an apology statement, saying that he was too bored and just found some pictures of diarrhea to spread rumors online.

"Awesome! The Chen family is really awesome. They can even suppress this kind of public opinion!"

Li Tian was in awe of Chen Pingshan. He knew very well that yesterday, all the diners at Yimixiang, whether it was the main store or the branches, were in a mess. Yimixiang had become a veritable shithole with shit everywhere.

"Such a big thing happened, is it possible that it has no impact at all on Yi Mi Xiang?" Lu Jiao said.

"That's not the case. There were at least a thousand people dining at Yimixiang yesterday. A thousand people means a thousand mouths. If you can't speak out online, how can you say it in real life? With word of mouth, there must be more than a few people who know about this." Li Tian said.

I felt a little regretful that I couldn't kill Yi Mi Xiang with one blow.

Lu Jiao nodded: "Yes."

"Dongdongdong~"

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the office door.

Li Tian said: "Come in."

The door opened and Secretary Xiaofang walked in: "Mr. Li, Director Xue from the Market Administration Bureau is here to visit."

Xue Anding?

Lu Jiao looked at Li Tian in surprise: "What is he doing here?"

Li Tian smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Ma and his people can't sit still anymore." He waved to Xiaofang, "Please let him in."

"yes"

Xiaofang nodded and retreated respectfully.

Not long after, Xue Anding, with a big belly, walked in, accompanied by an assistant.

"Mr. Li, I apologize for coming here to cause trouble without telling you in advance. I apologize for that."

"Of course not. It's an honor for me, Li Tian, ​​that Director Xue can come to our famous chef restaurant. Come, sit down and have some tea."

After the two exchanged some pleasantries, Li Tian quickly moved to the tea table nearby and made a pot of tea to entertain Xue Anding.

"Director Xue, what is the matter that made you want to see me this time?" He always liked to be straightforward and didn't like to beat around the bush. After pouring the tea, he got straight to the point.

"It's like this. The heads of more than a dozen restaurants and hotels, including Lao Di Fang, Yu Shan Ge, and Qian Xi Tang, came to me and hoped that I would be a reasonable person and help them reach a business cooperation agreement based on the three conditions you mentioned in my bureau before." Xue Anding said cautiously.

Now, he dare not underestimate Li Tian. Yi Mi Xiang suffered a great loss. A good restaurant turned into a toilet and a cesspool. It was so disgusting that people wanted to vomit when they thought about it. Although the Chen family took action and prevented the incident from escalating on the Internet, there were too many people in Binhai who knew about it. Yi Mi Xiang did not die, but was half-dead.

This kid, who had no status or background, crippled Yi Mi Xiang, who had the support of the Chen family. If he hadn't seen it all, he would never have dared to believe such a thing.

"Sure. As long as they agree to the three conditions I mentioned before, I can supply them with unlimited quantities of my secret seasoning." Li Tian said.

Xue Anding said: "They hope to change one of the conditions, that is, the condition that the words "Ming Chef Branch" should be added to the sign. As long as the words "Ming Chef Branch" are not added, they are willing to pay 10 million yuan in licensing fees, or give the Ming Chef an additional 2 percentage points of equity."

Li Tian raised his eyebrows without even thinking: "No problem, let them pay 10 million yuan for the licensing fee, and the condition of adding the words "famous chef branch" can be abolished."

"That's great. Mr. Li, please come to the Market Administration Bureau this afternoon, and we will finalize this matter together." Xue Anding was overjoyed. He didn't expect it to be so smooth. He thought Li Tian would not agree.

In fact, Li Tianxin was very happy. Without adding the words "famous chef branch", he asked for an extra 5 million. This transaction was too costly.

Whether or not the name of the restaurant is a branch of a famous chef has no real impact on him, just like whether or not Lu Jiao is his wife, does it matter? It doesn't matter at all. Anyway, he can do the same things with his wife as with Lu Jiao, and Lu Jiao is more loyal and serves him more attentively.

After Xue Anding left, Li Tian asked Mingchu’s legal department to draft the contract immediately.

All the contracts were signed in the morning, and in the afternoon Li Tian took Lu Jiao and Li Zimeng to the Market Administration Bureau again.

It’s the same conference hall and the same familiar faces.

Both Lu Jiao and Li Zimeng had an illusion of going back to the past.

"Mr. Li is here, everyone welcome him." Seeing Li Tian arriving, Xue Anding quickly stood up and took the lead in applauding to welcome him.

Everyone present stood up and applauded. Lin Hanwen and Lin Xiaoru also stood up and applauded, but their applause was not enthusiastic enough and was very forced.

Fang Dehai was sitting in his seat, staring at Li Tian with red eyes, as if Li Tian was the enemy who killed his father.

This time, Li Tian's seat was next to Xue Anding, which was the seat where Fang Dehai sat last time. He exchanged seats with Fang Dehai.

The applause stopped. Li Tian glanced at Lin Hanwen and said to Director Xue, "Director Xue, why is Wangjiang Pavilion here? Didn't I make it clear enough last time? If you want my secret seasoning, you must kick Wangjiang Pavilion out."

"Li Tian, ​​you...you shouldn't go too far." Although Lin Xiaoru was angry, she didn't dare to insult Li Tian anymore. She had seen how cruel Li Tian was.

Lin Hanwen said calmly: "Brother Li, Wangjiang Pavilion can still accept your conditions. In the business world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."

"That's a good point, but I'm just not happy with your Lin family. I don't want to cooperate with you. Is that not possible?" Li Tian said.

Lin Hanwen still smiled elegantly: "Brother Li, everything can be discussed. It seems that there is no deep hatred between us that cannot be resolved."

"Since you said so, then okay, let your sister Lin Xiaoru sing and dance the two songs I mentioned last time, and I will agree to cooperate with your Wangjiang Pavilion." Li Tian looked at Lin Xiaoru.

This little naughty girl danced so well before, he must teach her a lesson. Last time when Madam Chu was here, she didn't sing successfully, but she must succeed this time.
