Chapter 201 Return to Yaoxing City
In the blink of an eye, three years later.

In the Gujia Restaurant, the kitchen is in full swing.

Wearing a white chef's uniform, Zhou Ming looked at two talented apprentices who were cooking dishes and stood beside them with folded hands, staring at the movements of their hands. Although he kept a straight face and did not speak, the majesty of the chef And authority, let the two apprentices act meticulously and strictly follow the norms that the master usually teaches.

After a while, two plates of fried Kung Pao Chicken were placed in front of Zhou Ming.

"Master, please use it!"

The two apprentices, Ge Peng and Sun Yingcai, half-bowed.

Zhou Ming nodded slightly, picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up two plates of Kung Pao Chicken that was tested for his apprentice's cooking skills, took a bite from each, and slowly tasted it in his mouth.

After a while, under the expectant eyes of the two apprentices, Zhou Ming said: "Ge Peng, 65 points, Sun Yingcai, 70 points."

Hearing this, Ge Peng's expression darkened, and he lost to Sun Yingcai again. Restraining his inner jealousy, he asked eagerly, "Master, is there any room for improvement in my dish?"

Zhou Ming commented on the heat, the stir-frying action, the timing of seasoning, etc., and pointed out the problems. The apprentice Ge Peng nodded repeatedly, expressing that he remembered it, and would definitely work hard to improve it in the future to make a dish that satisfied the master.

This attitude made Zhou Ming nod his head, and encouraged him: "Keep working hard, you still have room for improvement. There are also talents, and there are many problems with your dishes, which are far from satisfying me. Follow along." I learned early, and my talent is higher than Ge Peng, you should not only get 70 points for cooking, you are far from being complacent, if you continue like this, your junior will surpass you sooner or later..."

Sun Yingcai, who got 70 points from the master for the first time, couldn't help but beam with joy. Faced with this scolding, he quickly lowered his head and said, "Got the master!"

Looking at the two apprentices in front of him whose actual age is not much different from his own, but who have been tamed by him during more than two years of training, and through the two dishes they cooked, both of which exceeded 60 points, Zhou Ming knew : The small town of Baowan can no longer keep him, and the larger stage of the big city is beckoning to him.

And his recent series of arrangements, including stepping up the training of these two apprentices, are also making full preparations for returning to Yaoxing City.

For three years, like a machine, he has cooked countless dishes, and he has stood at the peak of the world in terms of cooking skills.

This is not a narcissistic bragging, but a step-by-step, down-to-earth study, an average of 12 hours of work a day, and a busy year with no more than five days of rest. Progress... There is no shortcut, only the same four words that most successful people believe in: hard work and persistence!
Therefore, with his efforts, the small town of Baowan Town has undergone tremendous changes in the past three years.

Foodies have appeared. Foodies who have gained a great sense of happiness from delicious food no longer pay attention. On the electronic consumption card, the food expenditure is obviously beyond the limit; the number of obese people has increased, and there are even so many foreigners. Wan Town is called "Fat Town"; the group of high-end customers has grown, and due to the large number of people, the number of private rooms is not enough, so they can only apply for VIP membership cards, and have to endure the reservation queuing system that takes five days to make an appointment, so Some high-end customers who were tired of queuing and waiting got angry, and asked Gujia Restaurant to stop doing business with low-end customers and focus on high-end customers only to serve them.

As for the price, do rich people care about the price?
Rich people only care about whether it is good or not. As long as it is delicious, it is a dish that can be ordered with hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of credits. The local tyrants order it without blinking an eye, and even order expensive dishes, which are eaten by ordinary customers downstairs. If you order a dish with dozens or dozens of credits, the local tyrants don't order it, and order a small portion.

For example, at the end of last year, the most expensive "Invincible Buddha Jumps Under the Sea" was grandly launched by Gujia Restaurant to high-end customers, with 18888 credit points, which was ridiculously expensive. As a result, after tasting the taste of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, some souls flew away Every time you come to Gujia Restaurant, you must order the Buddha jumping over the wall. In order to eat this dish without queuing, you even get a diamond membership card for 10 yuan without blinking your eyes. The feeling is that this guy is crazy.

And there are 17 such crazy diamond members, Gujia Hotel.

As for the ordinary credit points, Zhou Ming, who only cares about cooking all day, is not very clear about how much he has earned in three years, but 2000 million credit points are definitely available.

Plus the 220 coins in the storage space of his system (170 coins are the membership fee of the diamond membership card, 30 coins he earned as a personal chef for a rich old man who is about to die, and 20 coins are miscellaneous The rest after the balance of income and expenses)... so much money has already exceeded the standard of the original accumulation, and it is enough for Zhou Ming to return to Yaoxing City, buy a piece of land, build a luxurious five-star hotel, and work vigorously one game.

As for the 5-acre piece of land that needs 150 money to buy, Zhou Ming is already optimistic about it. It is located at the junction of the first and second ring roads in the city center, with dense crowds, convenient transportation, and a strong business atmosphere. He plans to buy this land. Come down, invest another 2000 million credits to build a ten-storey hotel that can accommodate up to 1000 people dining at the same time, and recruit a large number of chefs, waiters, chefs, chef apprentices...

After Zhou Ming's huge plan was placed in front of the Gu family, everyone in the Gu family, who had already been deeply moved by the tremendous changes in the Gu family restaurant in the past few years, was even more stunned and dumbfounded at this moment.

"Isn't it good to stay in the town? Why do you want to develop in the city?" Gu Dawei asked very puzzled, this is already very good, why bother?

"The market in the city is a hundred times that of Baowan Town, where there is a wider market and more customers."

"Xiaoqiang, it's almost enough. You can't make enough money. You have worked so hard, and you still have to cook for millions of people. Your body will collapse sooner or later!" Zhang Peizhen was not worried that he would not succeed. , she was worried that this workaholic would be physically dragged down.

"No, in the city, ordinary guests will be entertained by apprentices and other chefs. I will only be in charge of high-end customers, and the workload will be less than now. I know how to take care of my body..."

"However, the scale of your investment is too large. Buying five acres of land and building a ten-story hotel is equivalent to spending all the money the restaurant has earned in the past few years. Take out all the family property of the Gujia Restaurant, this restaurant is not owned by you alone..."

Gu Dawei opened the skylight and uttered the most practical question, which meant: the Gu family didn't want to spend so much money to open a new store for him.

Gu Naihui on the side also whispered: "Xiaoqiang, we know that you have contributed a lot these years, so all the money is in your hands, but my parents are also old, and they can't do it slowly. Well, if you leave, all the money will be taken away, how can the Gujia Restaurant continue to operate?"

"You can go to the city with me. There are a lot of people needed in the store. You all need to help. As for this restaurant in the town, you can sell it or let the apprentice stay here."

"no!"

Gu Dawei's face suddenly became serious and livid: "This restaurant must not be sold. It is the painstaking effort of five generations of my Gu family. Even if I die, I will not sell this restaurant! It will continue to operate!"

He directly said to Zhou Mingming: "Young man, I admit that you have made a lot of contributions in the Gu's restaurant, but it has not yet reached the level where my Gu family can follow in your footsteps. In the Gu's, we It’s the master, you are the guest, don’t try to turn us into your guests, go to the city, you go alone!”

Hearing these tough words, Zhou Ming suddenly realized that the Gu family was unwilling to give credit and did not support him in starting a business. It turned out that they were afraid that he would turn his back on customers and change from the role of the boss and owner to his employees and subordinates... See On the issue of interests, it is still very important to determine the master-slave relationship.

If you don't sign a shareholding agreement, both parties will each own a certain amount of shares, and determine the profit distribution ratio. The Gu family should support you.

How many shares should you give up? 30%?

When Zhou Ming was analyzing the distribution ratio in his mind, Zhang Peizhen on the side spoke and said to her husband: "Dawei, Xiaoqiang and us are a family, why are you talking about such a relationship...Xiaoqiang, you and I Come here, let me discuss something with you."

Zhang Peizhen stood up, whispered something in Zhou Ming's ear, and dragged him mysteriously to a deserted place on the second floor, and had a good chat with him with a solemn and sincere expression.

"Xiaoqiang, it's not that our Gu family doesn't support you. We actually support you to open a shop in the city, but we don't worry. Who would dare to hand over so much money to an outsider...Xiaoqiang, we really want to treat you as a My family, but you don’t like my Xiaohui at all? It’s been a few years, why are you still blaming her? Xiaoqiang, Xiaohui has changed a lot for you, sometimes I don’t even recognize her She's gone, she really likes you, why can't you accept her? As long as you agree to accept her and become a family with us, you go to the city to open a shop, and the Gu family will support you. We will take as much as you want Money out!"

After hearing Zhang Peizhen's words, Zhou Ming's eyes widened.

This is no longer a beauty trick. To some extent, it is a marriage scheme to strengthen the bond of cooperation.

His brain started to spin.

Do you want to nod?

Nodding, more than 2000 million credits are in hand, and there is no need to worry about equity distribution, because this store belongs to the joint property of the two, as long as there is no separation, there will be no division.

If you don't nod, it will be a little troublesome. You need to find someone to partner with and take out some shares to solve the funding problem, or spend another two to three years to work hard and complete the accumulation of 2000 million credit points.

Facing this not the most important but crucial multiple-choice question in life, how should he choose it?

　How do you choose?
