As soon as Ye Weiming saw Du Shaojie, he got down to business.
He had finally gotten this piece of land. Thinking that he would have many social events in the future, but lacking a suitable place, he called Du Shaojie back to discuss.
[Fish Restaurant] is fine as a gathering between friends, but it is not very suitable as a place for business entertainment.
So, he thought of the increasingly popular [Private Restaurant].
"Are you interested in catering? It's not easy to run a private restaurant. Not only do you need top chefs, but you also need deep connections. It's actually quite troublesome."
Du Shaojie was not very interested. He was used to taking the people-friendly route. He was a little uncomfortable when he was suddenly asked to run a high-end restaurant.
Now, he no longer has the idea of ​​continuing to expand. He is satisfied as long as he can run several sub-brands well.
So, he subconsciously wanted to shirk.
"Don't talk nonsense with me. You and I are not short of connections, and you are the best chef. What trouble can there be? This time I'm relying on you. You can't refuse."
Ye Weiming was determined to open a private restaurant this time.
Therefore, he adopted a persistent approach, constantly mobilizing Du Shaojie, and would not give up until he achieved his goal.
"Okay, Old Ye, I agree, isn't that enough? But do you have any idea in mind? What cuisine is the main cuisine of the private restaurant?"
Du Shaojie was annoyed by the other party's grinding. After thinking about it, it was not a problem to open a private restaurant under the current conditions.
So, he quickly compromised.
"Of course it is mainly [Cantonese cuisine]. It is best to integrate the essence of [Guangfu cuisine], [Chaozhou cuisine] and [Hakka cuisine]. You are an expert in this area, so you decide."
Ye Weiming couldn't help laughing. The other party asked this question and obviously agreed to the next step of cooperation.
Du Shaojie nodded. In Guangzhou, [Cantonese cuisine] is indeed a good choice for high-end catering. As for the chef, there is no need to worry. There are people who are good at this under the company.
If it really doesn't work, he can also hire personnel through the association.
In Guangdong Province, the most lacking thing is the master chef who is good at [Cantonese cuisine].
Of course, on the basis of [Cantonese cuisine], you can also consider selecting some dishes from other cuisines. For example, [Fujian cuisine], [Jinling cuisine], etc. These are embellishments, and the main and secondary are still very clear.
"What are your rules for the next cooperation? Is it just the two of us, or will we find one or two more partners?"
Since the decision has been made, Du Shaojie will no longer procrastinate and immediately start discussing the principle with the other party. No matter
how good friends are when doing business together, responsibilities and rights must be clearly distinguished, which is the so-called "first villain and then gentleman", so as to avoid conflicts in the future.
"I think we can ask Mr. Pang, if he is interested, we can work together. For this project, making money is secondary, and the main purpose is to expand human resources."
Ye Weiming has his own considerations. [Private Restaurant] will not bloom everywhere, at most one will be opened in several first-tier cities.
He and Pang Weidong have met several times. Although they are not familiar with each other, they also know each other's strength. Cooperation requires a strong alliance and complementary resources, so he took the initiative to mention the other party.
"Well, I'll call and ask first."
Du Shaojie had no objection, but Ye Weiming suddenly asked to bring Pang Weidong in, which was somewhat unexpected.
He then called Pang Weidong and told him about the [Private Restaurant] and asked if he was interested in cooperating.
"Ajie, if it were you, you should have done this a long time ago. Add me and Abo to this project. Our requirements are not high. Just give us 20% of the shares."
Pang Weidong and Xu Bo are very close, and they advance and retreat together on many things, so they can be regarded as shareholders.
"You should come over. It's just right to sign the agreement after the negotiation."
Du Shaojie did not express his opinion, but asked the other party to come to meet and talk.
Pang Weidong had no objection and flew to Yangcheng the next day.
This time Xu Bo did not come. He was in charge of [Yuedong Entertainment], and the cooperation was fully handed over to Pang Weidong.
Du Shaojie, Ye Weiming and Pang Weidong discussed and quickly determined the shareholding ratio. Among them, Du Shaojie and Ye Weiming each held 40% of the shares, and Pang Weidong and Xu Bo held 20%.
Everyone agreed that the private restaurant should adopt the style of "Chinese courtyard". Anyway, the land that Ye Weiming had acquired was not small, so he could design it well.
However, in this way, the overall investment was a bit large.
Ye Weiming was the weakest in terms of financial strength among the three parties, but his foreign trade business was doing well. He earned a bonus of 10 million US dollars just from the 100 million US dollars worth of mobile phones.
Du Shaojie, Pang Weidong and Xu Bo were not short of money, and the total budget reached 20 million yuan in the end.
Private restaurants are different from ordinary restaurants. After the design drawings came out, you can feel the low-key luxury through the paper. In short, the facilities and supplies inside are high-end goods, and even the tableware for eating is much more expensive than that of star-rated hotels.
Of course, the price of the dishes is also ridiculously high, which is really not a place that ordinary people can come to.
After the construction started, Ye Weiming was responsible for keeping an eye on the progress of the construction. Pang Weidong usually didn't care about things, and he would only take action when he needed him to find someone to ask for help.
Du Shaojie picked several chefs from [Seafood Square], all of whom were young, strong, smart and studious. Since it was still early for the opening, he took these people for special training in advance.
At the very least, they all have the ability to be a special third-level chef, and of course they have certificates. In recent years, a large number of special third-level, special second-level and special first-level chefs have emerged under the catering management company.
However, the level of chefs will soon change, but Du Shaojie can't figure out the specific year when it will be implemented.
He has some impressions in his memory. The new levels are divided into "primary chef", "intermediate chef", "senior chef", "technician" and "senior technician".
However, these are all appearances, and the core of the level of strength will not change.
The night before the training started, Du Shaojie summarized the gains and consumption over such a long time. The consumption is not much, only 1 million hours, but the accumulated gains are incredible.
A total of 1,000 dishes received the comprehensive evaluation of "Phoenix Marrow Dragon Liver", which brought him 1 million exchange points and 20 million hours of income.
In the next three and a half months, he would take out 4 hours almost every day to train the selected chefs.
Du Shaojie spent a lot of money this time.
He spent 200,000 hours every day to get the title of "Gold Medal Lecturer". The 5-fold learning effect is quite good. These chefs have the ability to stand on their own. By the end of the training, he had consumed a total of 21 million hours.
[Exchange points: 1,649,918 points\6,003,066 points]
[Duration: 4.24 million hours\100,213,000 hours]
Next, these chefs practiced in the restaurant of the training center. For this reason, the restaurant also specially served a batch of new [Cantonese cuisine] varieties, so that some well-known people lined up here to book wedding banquets.
The news came from the Provincial Association and the Municipal Association. With the endorsement of these two institutions, these chefs almost became famous overnight.
"Now the backbone of private restaurants is there, but there is still a lack of a leader."
If Du Shaojie is given more time, he can really train a chef himself.
But obviously, these chefs are not famous enough, and he can't do it himself, so he is very worried.
"Boss Du, how about looking for a candidate from the association?"
Ye Weiming had no better idea, so he thought of the association.
There are indeed many famous chefs in the association, and there is even a [Master of Cantonese Cuisine]. However, Du Shaojie thought about it and was still unsure in the end.
These masters are not only difficult to hire, but also have no loyalty to the company. They might quit
one day. "I'll call President Luo and ask."
Du Shaojie thought about it and there was only one way, that is, to let Luo Santong introduce a suitable person to him.
He still trusted Luo Santong, and he thought that the person recommended by the other party would not be bad.
"Boss Du, you know what, I really have a suitable candidate here. My cousin is a [Master of Cantonese Cuisine], and he used to be the chef of a Chinese restaurant in a five-star hotel.
He had a little conflict with the manager some time ago, so he resigned and left his original unit. He is currently resting at home."
Luo Santong couldn't help laughing when he heard it.
His cousin is very talented in cooking. He is already a first-class chef in his thirties. He has won many awards in domestic cooking competitions and also won the title of "Master of Cantonese Cuisine".
But he has a bad temper and cannot stand being wronged. He had a big quarrel with his manager because of some minor conflicts and resigned.
"Lao Luo, I trust the person you introduced. Go back and ask him if he is willing to be the chef of a private restaurant. If he is willing, you can bring him over and let me see his skills."
Du Shaojie doesn't care whether the other party has a temper or not. The key is the level of his skills.
People with ability have bad tempers, but he thinks it doesn't matter. When the time comes, he will suppress the other party with his best cooking skills, which will definitely make the other party convinced.
"Okay, Mr. Du, let me know."
After Luo Santong put down the phone, he immediately went to find his cousin.
The cousin still respected him very much. When he heard that the boss of "Bailian Catering" wanted to hire someone, he followed Luo Santong to the Peixin Center without saying a word.
"Mr. Du, this is my cousin, Zhang Yang."
Luo Santong's cousin Zhang Yang is 35 years old this year, about 1.75 meters tall, neither fat nor thin, and looks very capable.
Du Shaojie greeted Zhang Yang very politely, and then took him to the back kitchen of the restaurant. Apart from other things, tasting food is an indispensable part.
Zhang Yang made three classic [Cantonese dishes], [Boiled Chicken], [Steamed Sea Bass], and [Baked Lobster in Soup].
Du Shaojie tasted it and thought it tasted very good.
"Master Zhang, in addition to [Cantonese cuisine], what other cuisines do you study? Our private restaurant mainly serves [Cantonese cuisine], but also takes into account [Fujian cuisine] and a small amount of [Jinling cuisine]."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Du, I have dabbled in [Fujian cuisine], but I'm completely clueless about [Jinling cuisine]." (End of this chapter)
