The leisurely life of the rich start

Chef Hou wants his son to inherit his mantle, but his son has no interest in the Chinese food industry, and instead likes dessert baking.

Now, although Xiaohou already owns six bakeries of his own, his career can be regarded as a success.

But every time Chef Hou mentions this matter, he always has a look of embarrassment.

"Having said that, I'm just angry!" Chef Hou shook his head and said, "I wouldn't be so angry if he had ever studied a bakery or something. Mr. Zhang, since we've reached this point today, I I want to ask you to do me a favor."

Zhang Da said: "Master Hou, just say it, as long as I can help, I must be duty-bound."

"Well, it's actually because of my ineffective son." Chef Hou sighed, "I heard that you recruited their pastry chef Carl from the Jean-Gees restaurant in Shencheng to work as the pastry shop at the Mingda Peninsula Hotel chef.

I want to ask you, can you let Hou Shunyu go to the bakery of the Peninsula Hotel as an apprentice for three months or half a year? "

Hou Shunyu is the name of Chef Hou's son.

"If you're just an apprentice, it's definitely fine. Chef Karl will sell me that face." Zhang Da said, "However, is Hou Shunyu willing?"

Chef Hou said: "He is willing, he is the one who mentioned this to me."

"Then it's no problem. I'll call Chef Karl myself and talk about it." Zhang Da said, "If you hurry up, Hou Shunyu will be able to report for duty in a day or two."

Chef Hou smiled and said, "Then thank you very much!"

"You're welcome, it's just a little favor, just give me an extra serving of braised pork." Zhang Da joked, "It would be even better if I could get a free order today!"

Chef Hou laughed and said, "Haha, the braised pork is enough, but you can't pay for it. Even if you are the boss, you have to pay for the meal."

In fact, the rule of "the boss has to pay for meals" was set by Zhang Da himself.

In this way, the management of the restaurant will be more formal.

After leaving the back kitchen, Zhang Da immediately called Carl in the hotel next door, and the other party readily agreed to accept the apprentice.

After passing the good news to Chef Hou, Zhang Da ate in the back kitchen with peace of mind.

In the afternoon, several buses carrying the crew members who were about to set sail came all the way to the river.

Zhou Geng kept his speed low along the way, and arrived at the pier at the same time as the bus convoy.

Two brand new ships have already docked on the shore.

Zhang Lifeng asked for instructions: "Mr. Zhang, can we board the ship now?"

Zhang Da nodded, waved his big hand and said, "Board the boat!"

After receiving Zhang Da's instructions, Zhang Lifeng and other crew members in charge of driving the ship boarded the salvage ship and the cruise ship respectively.

Afterwards, Wei Ziming led the staff of the salvage team and boarded the cruise ship one by one——

There are fewer cabins on the salvage ship for the crew to rest, and they will all live on the cruise ship before the official salvage operation begins.

Zhao Fan finally directed the security team to board the two ships respectively, then turned to Zhang Da and said, "Mr. Zhang, then I'm going to board the ship too!"

Zhang Da nodded and said, "Okay, I wish you all the best!"

"Thank you, President Zhang!"

The whistle sounded, and the two ships carrying a total of 165 crew members slowly left the dock.

Chapter 453 Reception

After parting from the fleet, Zhang Da went back home again.

Accompanying my daughter during the day, after putting her to sleep at night, watching the news of the disembarking fleet with my wife, and a few short videos sent by Zhao Fan every day, it is not a lot of fun.

However, his leisurely life lasted only half a month.

On this day, Zhang Da, who took the time to go to the villa next door to play with the helicopter in the afternoon, received a private call from Bezos just after landing.

"Mr. Bezos, you called me at this point, have you already arrived in China?"

"That's right, Mr. Zhang, I'm in Shanghai now." Bezos said happily, "I still need half a month to finish my trip in Shanghai, and then I will visit you in Jinling."

"No problem, I'll be waiting for you in Jinling." Zhang Da said with a smile, "Should there be a few entourages by your side?"

"Thank you, I am very honored!" Bezos said, "I have 6 servants by my side, and we can arrange the accommodation ourselves."

"It's rare for you to come here. I would like to invite you to experience the enthusiasm of Mingda Group. Leave the accommodation and car use to us." Zhang Da said, "I will ask my secretary to contact your secretary to finalize the plan." How about the details?"

"Thank you very much!" After Bezos finished speaking, he changed his words and said, "I'm more respectful than obedient...Is that right?"

"Yes, what you said is very standard."

...

After finishing the call with Bezos, Zhang Da immediately called Secretary Li and handed over to him the job of connecting with Bezos' secretary.

Twenty minutes later, Secretary Li called him back:

"Mr. Zhang, I have confirmed with Mr. Bezos's secretary, Ms. Naomi, that besides him, 6 of Mr. Bezos' 4 servants are bodyguards, and the other is an assistant and translator.

I am going to arrange them to live in the Peninsula Hotel with Mr. Bezos, using the top floor room.Mr. Bezos will use a presidential suite, and staff rooms will be arranged next to his suite.

To ensure safety, I have reported the situation to Vice Minister Zhao Xuyang, the current head of the security department of the group, and they will dispatch personnel to check the Peninsula Hotel again and assist Mr. Bezos in his security work. "

"Okay, I understand!" Zhang Da praised, "Secretary Li, you have done a comprehensive job."

Secretary Li said respectfully: "Thank you Mr. Zhang for your compliment, I will continue to work hard!"

"After you arrange the hotel, pay attention to Director Xu Lin's TV series." Zhang Da said, "I heard from him last week that the editing work of the three dramas is about to be completed one after another. You tell him, If you get the finished film, report it to me immediately."

"I understand, Mr. Zhang!"

...

After returning home in the afternoon, Zhang Da waited for his parents who came to visit and have dinner together.

He stood at the entrance and greeted the two elders: "Dad, Mom!"

"Hmm..." Zhang Jun nodded perfunctorily, "Where's Shishi?"

Zhang Da said: "Obviously taking her to take a nap, maybe she hasn't woken up yet."

"Oh..."

A look of disappointment suddenly appeared on Zhang Jun's face. After changing into slippers, he sat on the sofa in the living room.

Yang Jinping pulled Zhang Da and asked, "How is Shishi these two days, isn't she sick?"

谷朦

"Mom, no, Shishi is healthy. She hasn't been sick since she was born." Zhang Da shook his head and said, "By the way, didn't you just visit Shishi two days ago?"

"That was all two days ago..." Zhang Jun, who was sitting in the living room, walked up to him at some point and said in a low voice, "Oh, I feel uncomfortable if I don't see Shishi for a day now." ah."

Zhang Da suggested: "Why don't you move here for a while?"

Zhang Jun shook his head and said, "No, I'm about to lead the team to participate in the 9th Cathay Pacific Cup as a coach. I have to watch them train in the morning, and I can't get away from it."

Zhang Da asked curiously, "Dad, aren't you forming a team with Uncle Kong and Uncle Ding?"

"Have you not paid attention to the Cathay Cup for a while?" Zhang Jun said, "The three of us have retired from the amateur league a long time ago. Our original team is now played by Tian Yin and Chen Bing with a group of people. There is your brother-in-law, who also joined in recently."

"Dad, you know about my situation. I'm no longer suitable for competition, so I didn't pay much attention." Zhang Da said, "By the way, can Cheng Lingjie play football?"

He vaguely remembered that when everyone climbed the Zijin Mountain without difficulty, Cheng Lingjie almost collapsed from exhaustion.

"He is in charge of logistics in the team." As the veteran of the team, Zhang Jun still knows the situation in the team well. "Ding Ran is now playing the main force, and Xiao Cheng has replaced his work."

"Ding Ran is the main player?" Zhang Da asked suspiciously, "Then the strength of the team has become weaker?"

Zhang Jun said with deep approval: "After our three elders Xuanming retired, the strength of the team has indeed weakened a lot."

Zhang Da: "..."

He clearly felt that the retirement of the three fathers from the team was to strengthen the strength of the team.

He didn't understand, but he didn't dare to have an opinion.

Qinhuai Beckham, who was shopping with Liu Xinyang, suddenly felt itchy nose.

In the evening, after Wei Ailing and Cheng Lingjie also came to the house, Zhang Da curiously asked Cheng Lingjie:

"I heard, have you been playing football recently?"

Cheng Lingjie said: "It doesn't count, I'm mainly coaching, to experience the feeling of a live-action football manager."

Zhang Jun, who was sitting by the side, suddenly coughed twice.

"Eh... also responsible for some logistical work." Cheng Lingjie looked at Zhang Jun and said weakly, "I regard football as a kind of social interaction. After coming to Jinling, the friends you introduced to me all love to play football. I also play along."

"When you are free, we can practice together." Zhang Da nodded and said to Wei Ailing, "Mom, how is your company doing?"

Hearing Zhang Da's words, Cheng Mingming, who was taking care of Zhang Wanshi who was a little angry after waking up with Yang Jinping, also cast a concerned look like Wei Ailing.

"Very good!" Wei Ailing said from the bottom of her heart, "Leaving aside the company's old customers, just relying on the two new customers you recommended to me, the company's business scale has surpassed before."

The two clients that Zhang Da recommended to Wei Ailing were naturally Shen Haoran and Fan Jiang.

Wei Ailing's company has channels for exporting steel, and Shen Haoran can get high-quality and cheap steel.

The transportation business of Fan Jiang's family also directly solved Wei Ailing's shipping troubles.

Moreover, compared to the port where Xiangjiang often has to queue, the shipment speed is much faster when the goods are shipped from Jinling.

Zhang Da smiled and said, "That's good."

The development of Wei Ailing's company is better than before, which also proves that his decision to invite the other party to move to Jinling for development is correct.

Chapter 454 Respect and Happy

Half a month later, Bezos and his party arrived in Jinling on time.

Zhang Da was at the high-speed rail station, waiting for the richest man in the world who wanted to experience Huaguo high-speed rail.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang!"

"Hello, Mr. Bezos!"

After the two wearing sunglasses shook hands, they quickly left the high-speed rail arrival point and went straight to the parking lot.

After sitting in the back seat of the Phantom, Bezos took off his sunglasses and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, nice to meet you, thank you for your hospitality!"

"There is an old saying in China that goes, 'It's a joy to have friends coming from afar'." Zhang Da, who also took off his sunglasses, said, "I'm also very happy that you came to Jinling."

"A friend comes from afar..." Bezos repeated Zhang Da's words in Chinese, "Haha, I've heard this sentence before, I am indeed a friend from afar."

"Yes, friends from far away." Zhang Da laughed, "Actually, the word 'friend' also means a bosom friend."

After savoring it, Bezos said: "A confidant from afar, I like this statement!"

"That's right, I think we have a lot of common topics through the previous phone conversations." Zhang Da said, "Let's check in at the Peninsula Hotel first, and then have dinner at an Italian restaurant next to the hotel. I invite The chef has come to receive us. Tomorrow, I will take you to several scenic spots with Jinling characteristics, and then I will take you to experience our local Huaiyang cuisine."

"Great, I like this arrangement!" Bezos said, "You don't know, I have been dragged down by work in Shanghai and have no time to play. This time I come to Jinling, I want to take the Sorry to make it up.”

Zhang Da smiled and said, "I hope you can enjoy your time in Jinling."

...

In the evening, Zhang Da brought Bezos to Bobana's garden restaurant.

As usual, Bana first greeted Zhang Da and Zhang Da in Italian, and after leading them into the largest private room in the restaurant, he said, "Good evening, gentlemen, it's an honor to meet you!"After I received the notice from Mr. Zhang, I rushed to Jinling from the Xiangjiang main store with my best black truffle. "

In order to entertain Bezos this time, Zhang Da specially invited the chef himself to Jinling.

"Hello, Chef Bobana, this is not the first time we have met." Bezos smiled, "I still miss your white truffle feast. Is there white truffle on today's menu?"

"Sorry, Mr. Bezos, I don't have white truffles in my restaurant in summer." Bobana said tactfully, "The quality of white truffles produced in summer is not as good as that in winter. In order to let VIPs like you get the best The best white truffle experience, so I only offer white truffle menu in winter.”

Bezos said regretfully: "It turned out to be so, what a pity."

Bobana said with a smile: "You can visit the beautiful city of Jinling again in winter."

Hearing Bobana's words, Zhang Da suddenly laughed.

This Michelin three-star chef really has a lot of emotional intelligence.
