Volume 1 Chapter 97: Bad Mood
Li Tian remained unmoved and stared at Xue Anding.
"Director Xue means that my celebrity chef business should not be allowed to grow and become stronger. It deserves to be beaten down by restaurants and hotels like Yimixiang and Wangjiang Pavilion. I cannot accept all the customers that I have won over with my own abilities. I have to return some to them. Accepting them will seriously disrupt the balance of the market. What kind of bullshit is this? Is there such a thing in the world? Director Xue, you have such great authority!"
These weird words made Xue Anding's mouth twitch and his old face turned red, because this really didn't make sense. The famous chef didn't compete unfairly. He stood firm by his real ability and got a share of the catering market. If the Chu family hadn't stepped in, he would have asked: What crime has the famous chef committed?
"Li Tian, Director Xue is speaking for the vast majority of us in the catering industry. As the culprit who disrupted the market, you should correct your attitude." Fang Dehai spoke at this time.
Li Tian smiled: "When you do business, there is competition. I didn't compete illegally. I made my celebrity chef business bigger and stronger through my own efforts. How could I be the culprit for disrupting the market? Shouldn't everyone here reflect deeply on why they can't compete with me as a celebrity chef?"
Everyone in the room blushed and some people cursed in their hearts: Damn, why didn't we think about it? Only after we thought about it did we know that the problem was with the seasoning formula. Without the seasoning formula, how could we fight your famous chef?
"Stop talking nonsense, Li Tian, and hand over the recipe of the secret seasoning right away!" Lin Xiaoru was anxious and simply stated the purpose of this gathering directly.
The fox's tail finally showed up!
Lu Jiao and Li Zimeng looked at Lin Xiaoru and thought that they were indeed asking for the seasoning recipe. These people were so shameless that they asked for it directly as if the recipe was their property.
Li Tianxin looked at Lin Xiaoru with admiration and said, "Ms. Lin is really straightforward. She spoke directly to everyone's heart. That's how you should speak. Why do you beat around the bush and keep talking nonsense? It makes you feel uncomfortable, and it makes me feel uncomfortable listening to you."
The group blushed again. They had just said so much just because they wanted the recipe of the secret seasoning, but no one was shameless enough to break through the paper directly.
"Mr. Li, since you already know everyone's purpose, for the healthy and stable development of the entire catering industry, shouldn't you consider the long-term and share the recipe of your celebrity chef's secret seasoning with everyone?"
Xue Anding struck while the iron was hot, and tried his best to avoid personal emotions in his tone, "Of course, I'm not asking you to take it for free. Everyone here is willing to pay 100,000 each to buy the right to use your formula."
One hundred thousand?
That's too shameless.
Both Lu Jiao and Li Zimeng were furious. The secret seasoning recipe was worth a fortune, and they wanted to get it for just one hundred thousand yuan. Isn't this robbery?
Lu Jiao couldn't help but speak up: "Director Xue, the secret seasoning is the foundation of our famous chefs. You let a company sell the foundation. Are you sure you are maintaining the market balance instead of helping other restaurants and hotels suppress our famous chefs?"
Xue Anding's face darkened, thinking, I just want to suppress you famous chefs, what's wrong?
You just need to accept it obediently, why keep talking so much nonsense, your shops are not closed, you can still make money, just less. If you keep nagging, I will close all your shops!
Of course, he would never say this.
"Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?" Lin Xiaoru shouted.
Lu Jiao was furious. Although she was very open with Li Tianshi, she was very reserved in the presence of so many important people. Besides, with her status and background, she didn't dare to confront Lin Xiaoru head-on.
"This is a symposium, right? Why do I seem to hear a bitch barking?" Li Tian frowned and spoke to himself.
But as soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed color. This was directly calling Miss Lin of the Lin family a bitch. This kid was simply lawless and had no respect for those in higher positions.
"You bastard, say that again? I'll kill you!" Lin Xiaoru was so angry that she went crazy on the spot.
Lin Hanwen raised his hand, motioning her to sit down, and then turned to Li Tian and said, "Mr. Li, are you sure you want to be so vulgar and unfriendly?"
Sinister, with a warning tone.
"I say what I want to say to people. I have always been a good talker."
Li Tian was unmoved, holding back a lot of resentment in his heart. You all are here to target me, right? Then go ahead and see if I will pay any attention to you.
Lin Hanwen stopped talking and gave Lin Xiaoru a look, indicating that there was no need for her to get involved and that Director Xue should just take charge of the situation.
"Mr. Li, what do you think of my suggestion just now?" Xue Anding thought that it would be better to end this symposium as soon as possible. Li Tian was such a loser and his manners were really low.
Li Tian raised his eyebrows: "As for the recipe, there will be no problem if you show enough sincerity."
When Lu Jiao and Li Zimeng heard this, they were shocked. Was they preparing to compromise and hand over the formula?
Everyone present showed joy on their faces, thinking, this kid is not so stupid after all, he is actually quite sensible.
However, Li Tianxia said: "The problem is that I am in a bad mood now. When I am in a bad mood, I don't want to talk about things."
