"Great! Seeing so many customers in your shop, I know the food must taste delicious."
After exchanging pleasantries, Zheng Rong suddenly took out a thick red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Li Junsheng!
Li Junsheng was taken aback. "Director Zheng, what do you mean by this? Everyone says I've done my best as a host."
Zheng Rong smiled and placed the red envelope in Li Junsheng's hand while explaining, "This red envelope is to thank you for your guidance last time. Fortunately, with your guidance, my people were able to discover that the German technology had a huge flaw."
"Their technology has this flaw, and after some factories found out, they started buying parts and equipment from our machine shop again."
"Next, we plan to do as you said, take advantage of the shortcomings of this technology, and negotiate with the German side. If all goes well, we can get their other mechanical technologies to enrich our machinery factory!"
Li Junsheng nodded and echoed Zheng Rong, "That's great, that basically solves most of the problem."
In fact, Li Junsheng was already fully aware of these circumstances.
Two days ago, when Li Junsheng went to the machinery factory to pick up goods, he saw that there was more waste material piled up, so he was sure that the situation at the machinery factory had improved!
Zheng Rong's initiative to approach him was somewhat unexpected for Li Junsheng.
"Yes, most of the problems have been solved. The machinery factory has now overcome many obstacles. So please accept this red envelope. Without you, we really don't know what we would have done!"
Zheng Rong was very enthusiastic and insisted that Li Junsheng accept the red envelope.
Li Junsheng didn't stand on ceremony. "Then I won't stand on ceremony with Director Zheng. Actually, it's already very kind of you to get Section Chief Zhou to supply me with all the factory's waste materials!"
"That's not the same. This red envelope is just a small token of my appreciation."
As Zheng Rong spoke, he took out another red envelope.
"I found out you opened a restaurant here, so I specially prepared an opening bonus for you. This is my personal gift, so please don't be shy about it!"
Another red envelope?
Factory Director Zheng is being too polite.
Li Junsheng doesn't plan to accept this opening bonus!
"Director Zheng, I can't accept this red envelope anymore, I can't accept it."
"Don't be shy, it's not much money, just take it, we're brothers, don't stand on ceremony!"
Zheng Rong insisted on giving Li Junsheng a business opening bonus, no matter how Li Junsheng tried to refuse.
Li Junsheng had no choice but to accept the opening bonus!
Factory Director Zheng is truly a man of great taste.
In the kitchen, Tang Liang kept watching Li Junsheng and Zheng Rong talk. Seeing this, Li Guohua couldn't help but remind him, "What are you looking at? Be careful not to cut your hand. You're the only head chef in our restaurant, you can't afford to get hurt."
Tang Liang was secretly delighted and grinned at his brother-in-law.
“I saw Dad talking to someone. Do you know who that person is? I think it’s Director Zheng from the machinery factory. My uncle mentioned him before!”
Tang Liang was impressed by his father-in-law's abilities, as he could even speak with the factory director of the machinery factory.
Li Guohua was no longer surprised; his father had changed so much recently, it was as if he were a completely different person!
He was probably really provoked by his mother.
A moment later, Li Xiaoyu served Zheng Rong several of the restaurant's signature dishes, and Li Junsheng also opened a bottle of good wine for him!
"Director Zheng, come and try the food at my restaurant."
Li Junsheng poured a glass of wine for Factory Director Zheng, who then picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of braised fish.
The fish is tender and the broth is rich and flavorful, making you want to eat more with rice!
The other dishes were equally delicious, each with its own unique characteristics.
After tasting everything, Director Zheng couldn't help but praise the food on the table in front of him.
"Hmm! The food at your restaurant is really good, even better than the state-run restaurants. No wonder there are so many people here."
That's right, Li Junsheng's dish is far ahead of the competition.
Because he also incorporated some new dishes that he learned in other places in his previous life.
"Our restaurant focuses on cleanliness, nutrition, and affordability. The taste is not bad. Even hospital patients request us to deliver a meal to them every day."
"Speaking of which, if I'd like to establish a long-term food delivery partnership with the city hospital and surrounding businesses, I wonder if Director Zheng has any connections who could help me make the connection?"
Li Junsheng wanted to first develop the restaurant's self-delivery service; if it could be done, it would become a food delivery service.
At worst, I can give Director Zheng some profit share, so he won't help me make connections for nothing!
Zheng Rong thought about it for a moment and felt that Li Junsheng was quite flexible in his thinking. Establishing a food delivery partnership with other units could potentially generate much higher profits than working with a fixed restaurant.
He was also willing to make this a good thing happen!
"Sure, I'll take care of it. Just wait for my good news."
"Thank you so much, Director Zheng. If it works out, I will definitely repay you."
"Don't mention it, your idea is great, very advanced!"
Li Junsheng exchanged a few humble words with Factory Director Zheng, showing no arrogance whatsoever. Factory Director Zheng felt quite comfortable talking to him.
The more Director Zheng spent time with Li Junsheng, the more he realized that Li Junsheng was no ordinary person.
One minute he was running a scrap metal business, the next he was running a thriving restaurant.
Although he was modest and said that the restaurant was opened by his children and he was just helping out, Zheng Rong could tell that Li Junsheng was the backbone of the restaurant!
Li Junsheng and Zheng Rong toasted each other, freely discussing the current situation of the machinery factory.
It wasn't until dusk that Zheng Rong got up to leave!
"It's so late before I knew it. I need to hurry home. There are people waiting for me there."
"Director Zheng, don't worry, I've packed some of the restaurant's signature dishes for you to take home and let your family try them."
As Li Junsheng was speaking, Tang Liang directly brought over a food box and handed it to Zheng Rong.
Li Junsheng was very thoughtful. Zheng Rong had planned to bring his family to try the food another day, but unexpectedly, he had it packed up for him.
"These signature dishes cost so much, I can't just take them for free."
Zheng Rong took out his wallet from his pocket to pay, but Li Junsheng pressed his hand down!
"Director Zheng, you've already given me two red envelopes. I absolutely cannot give you any more money for these signature dishes. Consider it an invitation from your family."
After some arguing and pulling, Zheng Rong finally took the restaurant's signature dish back home, swayed by Li Junsheng's enthusiasm!
After seeing Director Zheng off, there were hardly any customers left in the restaurant. Li Junsheng gathered his children for dinner and discussed expanding the restaurant.
"Our restaurant is almost always packed, with many people even waiting outside. Keeping customers waiting like this isn't sustainable. I've decided to expand the restaurant and hire more servers, chefs, and other staff. What do you think?"
The children were somewhat surprised. Was it too hasty to expand the restaurant so quickly?
