Chapter 167: Rich People Finally Get Married
Outside the box, Zhou Meng knocked on the door.
"Boss, can we serve the food now?"
"Can."
Qi Sheng patted the two little ones' butts, and they quickly and obediently returned to their respective seats.
"Boss, this is the first dish made by Chef Huang Zhihui, roast chicken with flax seeds."
Zhou Meng served the dishes himself, looking somewhat excited and puzzled.
"Please sit down and let other waiters serve the dishes. Come and taste Chef Huang's cooking skills."
Qi Sheng could guess what Zhou Meng was thinking.
It's just that I am a little confused about why Chef Huang, who is very famous in Guangzhou, joined the unknown Yu Tu.
"Boss, after I contacted Chef Huang according to the number you gave me, I was completely shocked."
"With Chef Huang's status, it's a bit unfair for him to be the head chef of our restaurant."
Zhou Meng is a veteran in the hotel industry.
You are certainly familiar with Huang Zhihui, the executive chef of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Guangzhou.
He is the only Cantonese chef in China invited by the Mandarin Oriental Hotel to create his own restaurant with the same name.
The restaurant, run by Chef Youhui, has won the only two-Michelin star award in Guangzhou.
The Mandarin Oriental Hotel should never let go of such talent.
Even though Zhou Meng believed that the Banyan Tree brand was not inferior to Mandarin Oriental, he had little confidence in poaching Huang Zhihui.
Unless the Banyan Tree in Shanghai wants to poach him, maybe they will consider it.
People don't like the Banyan Tree in Hangzhou.
"Try the food first, and then you can talk to Chef Huang in person."
Qi Sheng smiled secretly in his heart, he was a man protected by Mr. Tong.
The system took action, and no matter how powerful Huang Zhihui was, he could only work obediently for Qi Sheng.
Because the restaurant's decoration and menu have not changed yet.
This resulted in Huang Zhihui being unable to enjoy the delicious buff bonus.
Even so, they were still full of praise for the other party's expert Cantonese cooking skills.
Roast chicken with flax seeds, steamed hand-made meat patties with crab, creative sweet and sour pork with fresh fruit, and square roast pork.
Huang Zhihui picked out all the dishes that he was good at.
Dishes like sweet and sour pork and roast pork are his innovations based on traditional methods.
The reason why it won two Michelin stars is not only because of its delicious taste, but also because of its pleasing presentation.
Zhou Meng tried several dishes.
Thinking of the current level of the chef at Baiyun Chinese Restaurant, he immediately shook his head.
"Boss, if Chef Huang can really join our Banyan Tree Hotel, it will definitely increase the hotel's occupancy rate a lot."
The Banyan Tree, located in Xixi Wetland, has considerable appeal to high net worth individuals.
With the addition of Huang Zhihui joining Yu Tu Restaurant, it is hard not to see their occupancy rate increase.
"The Baiyun Chinese Restaurant is too small. We should open up the Huguangge Restaurant next door and redesign and renovate it. Don't worry about saving money."
Qi Sheng was not very satisfied with the positioning of the hotel’s two restaurants.
There are restaurants everywhere in Hangzhou where the average price per person is two to three hundred yuan.
Guests staying at Banyan Tree have to dine outside the hotel.
That in itself is an insult to the Banyan Tree brand.
In this regard, Banyan Tree Hotel really needs to learn from Four Seasons Hotel.
The Sands Hall alone brings a huge amount of traffic to the Four Seasons Hotel.
"Okay, I'll finish the restaurant renovation as soon as possible."
“In four months at the most, I’d like to see restaurants reopen.”
Qi Sheng set a time for Zhou Meng.
"For related design work, you can contact Mr. Jian from Shengxuan Decoration. He will give you a more favorable quote."
"Okay, I'll contact President Jian as soon as possible."
Zhou Meng heard the name of this decoration company.
I couldn't help but make some guesses, but didn't say much.
The entire Banyan Tree Group belongs to the boss.
Is it a problem to take care of another company of yours? During the whole food tasting process, the three little ones and Zhou Meng gave unanimous praise.
"Hello, boss."
When Huang Zhihui saw Qi Sheng, he did not dare to be careless and quickly bent down and stretched out his hand.
"Chef Huang, Yu Tu's first restaurant in Hangzhou is now in your hands."
“Mr. Zhou will fully cooperate with you. I hope that your cooperation will make Yu Tu a food business card of Hangzhou!”
Hearing the high hopes his boss had placed on him, Huang Zhihui felt a lot of pressure, but was also full of motivation.
“I will do my best to make Yu Tu the ceiling of high-end Chinese restaurants in Hangzhou!”
"Then in the next few months, you will be responsible for finishing the restaurant work at Mandarin Oriental."
Qi Sheng didn't know what method the system used to convince Mandarin Oriental to release the person.
But he didn't intend to make things so awkward.
Maybe one day I will become the boss of Mandarin Oriental?
"Thank you, boss."
Huang Zhihui quickly bowed in gratitude.
He still has deep feelings for Mandarin Oriental.
The other party gave him respect and trust.
Being able to say goodbye in a relatively peaceful way will not do any harm to either party.
…
After arranging the two little ones, Qi Sheng drove the Cullinan and took Tao Siyao with him.
I bought some gifts and came to Dongfang Runyuan Community.
"Yaoyao, your neighborhood isn't cheap, right?"
Qi Sheng saw the conscientious and responsible security guard from afar.
The owners coming in and out were all dressed decently.
The quality is obviously not comparable to that of ordinary communities.
"Of course, our family bought this community in 2006. At that time, it was selected as one of the top ten luxury homes in China, ranking third!"
"Including the elders of Wahaha and many famous business people, they are the owners of Dongfang Runyuan."
"I spent 10 million when I bought it, and it has appreciated in value since then."
"Now someone is offering 40 million, but my dad is reluctant to sell it."
Tao Siyao introduced him to Qi Sheng with pride.
This house is considered their family's biggest asset.
"Brother, you can drive the car directly in. My dad bought three parking spaces at that time."
"But there are only two cars at home, and sometimes friends come over and we can park them temporarily."
Tao Siyao directed Qi Sheng to drive the car to the entrance of the community.
She greeted the responsible security guard with a sweet smile.
"Uncle Liu, this is my boyfriend, please put it down."
"It's Yaoyao, come in quickly."
The security guard at the door has also been serving in Dongfang Runyuan for many years.
Of course, he was familiar with Tao Siyao, as he had almost watched her grow up.
"Thank you, Uncle Liu."
Tao Siyao waved her hand and then raised the car window.
"Tsk, no wonder they say rich people always marry. The rich man who drives Cullinan is worthy of the apple of the eye of the owner of Dongfang Runyuan."
The security guard named Liu looked at the taillights of Cullinan and felt quite emotional.
Cullinan drives into the underground garage.
After all, it’s a community delivered in 2006, so we can’t expect too much.
But when it comes to top-notch luxury homes, Oriental Runyuan is no less than perfect.
BBA has no presence at all here.
Porsche, Bentley, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini…
It is no exaggeration to say that large auto shows are no more than this.
Qi Sheng saw three phantoms.
“It’s right here.”
Tao Siyao pointed to the area where Building 1 was located and the three parking spaces side by side for her family, and introduced them to Qi Sheng with a smile.
"The black Bentley Flying Spur belongs to my dad, and the white Panamera belongs to my mom."
The Bentley Flying Spur and Porsche Panamera can only be considered as upper-mid-range configurations.
"Hey, the girl from the Tao family is back with her boyfriend?"
The two men had just parked the car when another car parked in the space two spaces away.
The other party greeted them from a distance.
"Hello Uncle Chen, this is my boyfriend Qi Sheng, who is currently running a hotel business."
Tao Siyao's smile was a little cold, but not without politeness.
"This is Uncle Chen downstairs. He also opened a hotel in Hangzhou. He is in the same business as you, brother!"
"What a coincidence?"
Chen Shuyuan looked at Qi Sheng with some surprise.
Compared with the good-for-nothing boy in his family who only knows how to eat, drink, gamble and have sex, the young man in front of him is much better.
"Hello."
Qi Sheng nodded lightly, and had no intention of communicating too much with the other party.
It’s not that colleagues are enemies. Qi Sheng is not afraid at all.
Since Tao Siyao is so cold to Uncle Chen.
As a boyfriend, he naturally wouldn't be very enthusiastic.
"Xiao Qi, you opened a hotel in Hangzhou?"
Chen Shuyuan smiled and said, "Competition in the hotel industry in Hangzhou is very fierce. You are welcome to come to my hotel to study at any time."
"study?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Tao Siyao burst out laughing.
"Sorry, Uncle Chen, my boyfriend's hotel seems to be no worse than yours."
"oh?"
Chen Shuyuan became interested, "Yaoyao, what's the name of your boyfriend's hotel? Maybe Uncle Chen should go visit him to learn from him."
As Chen Shuyuan can live in the earliest luxury residential complex in Hangzhou, he must be worth over 100 million yuan.
Except for those famous hotel groups.
There are few hotels in Hangzhou that are more famous than his.
Although Qi Sheng's clothes and appearance are quite good.
But at best, the family could just run an ordinary five-star hotel.
In a five-star hotel, the water content is very high.
For rooms with lower value, the entry-level rooms only cost four or five hundred yuan.
The Sofitel hotel he opened happens to be the ceiling among five-star hotels.
The cheapest guest room costs about eight or nine hundred yuan.
Who opened his hotel by the West Lake?
With this location alone, it's hard not to make money.
"Uncle Chen, you must have heard of Banyan Tree and Angsana in Xixi Wetland, right?"
Tao Siyao put her arm around Qi Sheng's and said with great pride.
"What?"
Chen Shuyuan was stunned.
Recalling a piece of big news some time ago, the hotel industry was particularly shocked.
The Ho family, which has owned the Banyan Tree Group for many years, suddenly joined forces with existing shareholders.
Sold the entire group to a mysterious buyer.
If Tao Siyao hadn't suddenly mentioned Banyan Tree Group, he would have almost forgotten about it.
The buyer's identity is too mysterious.
Even the employees at the Banyan Tree Group’s headquarters have never seen one.
"Xiao Qi, it was your father who acquired the Banyan Tree Group?"
No matter how proud Chen Shuyuan is, he dare not compare himself with the Banyan Tree Group.
They are a top hotel group all over the world with a market value of billions.
This is the only hotel he owns, and it was opened in partnership with someone else.
He can only be considered the second largest shareholder and is only responsible for daily management.
"It's me."
Qi Sheng didn't hide it.
Soon, his identity will be completely known.
"cough…"
Chen Shuyuan was so shocked by the news that his scalp went numb and he almost choked when he swallowed his saliva.
With the market value of Banyan Tree Group, they want to acquire it.
Considering the premium required, it would be impossible to get it without 3 billion.
What frightened Chen Shuyuan the most was the other party's terrifying financial resources and style of doing things.
Eat up all the shares in full, rather than slowly absorbing them like a boiling frog in warm water.
This shows how radical the other party's style of behavior is.
"Uncle Chen, let's go up first."
Tao Siyao felt so happy when she saw Chen Shuyuan's depressed and shocked expression.
After entering the elevator, Tao Siyao swiped her card and pressed the 15th floor.
"arrive."
Tao Siyao pointed to Room 1502 and asked with a smile, "Brother, are you nervous?"
"Knock on your door."
Qi Sheng rolled his eyes at her, holding gifts in both his hands.
It’s the same treatment as visiting Du Xinxin’s home.
"Humph, I won't help you later."
Tao Siyao walked to the door and entered the door password that she had memorized by heart.
"Ha...Mom and Dad, you guys haven't slept yet?"
Tao Siyao looked at the extremely quiet living room, and her parents all looked over from the sofa.
She was so scared that she took a step back and let Qi Sheng out.
"Brother, it's up to you!"
Tao Siyao is usually brave, but at this time she is not as brave as Du Xinxin.
"Hello uncle and aunt, I am Yaoyao's boyfriend, Qi Sheng."
Qi Sheng used the most enthusiastic smile and said his already familiar catchphrase.
It is expected that he will say it many times in the future.
"Hello, hello, you're welcome. I'm sorry to have to bring so many things with me. It's going to cost you a lot of money."
Mother Tao looked at her husband who remained expressionless, then stood up and came to greet him with a smile.
Aged Moutai, La Prairie and Farmand skincare products.
Liqun soft-pack Fuchun Mountain Residence, Niulankeng cinnamon...
Although there are not many samples, each one is valuable hard currency.
30-year-old Moutai, more than 100,000 yuan per bottle.
The average price of a set of La Prairie and Farmand skin care products is around RMB 50,000.
Liqun soft-pack Fuchun Villa, 20,000/piece.
The cheapest Niulankeng cinnamon is also a precious rock tea that ordinary people cannot afford.
The price per kilogram is about 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.
All these things add up to hundreds of thousands.
Even Tao Ronghui couldn't help but change his expression slightly.
He forced a smile onto his stiff face.
"I'm sorry to have cost you so much."
"Of course, uncle, would you like to try the beef I brought?"
When Qi Sheng saw the tea table in the living room, he knew that Uncle Tao was also a tea lover.
"Huifang, bring the tea leaves over here and let them steep."
Tao Ronghui was surprised to see Qi Sheng bringing so many gifts when he came to visit for the first time.
My impression of him couldn't help but improve a bit.
The more gifts you give, the less blame you will get. It’s the same everywhere.
"How long have you been talking to Yaoyao?"
While making tea, Tao Ronghui still couldn't help himself.
Qi Sheng smiled and replied, "Half a year, we got together last November."
Tao Ronghui's heart skipped a beat.
The relationship between the two must be very deep.
Especially considering that this girl had kept it a secret from them for half a year.
Lao Tao was extremely angry.
"Yaoyao is a child who is usually spoiled by me and her mother. Do you feel uncomfortable when you are together?"
Tao Ronghui is very clear about his daughter's character.
To put it nicely, it's a spoiled brat; to put it bluntly, it's willfulness.
"Yaoyao has a good personality and is usually very well-behaved. She can be a little temperamental sometimes, but she's very cute."
Qi Sheng thought about it and realized that when Tao Siyao was around him, she never acted too spoiled.
On the contrary, because of Du Xinxin's stimulation, he often made bold moves to win favor.
Look, I heard Qi Sheng praising me.
Tao Siyao's eyes curved into crescents with joy, and she made a heart shape to Qi Sheng.
Tao Ronghui, on the other hand, looked at Qi Sheng with a confused look on his face.
Is this my daughter who always throws tantrums? Could it be that they are talking about two people?
