Chapter 343 - No One Can Withstand the Money
“This is…” Yang Haosheng was stunned for a moment. He looked at the few little fellows behind him, who couldn't hold back their smiles, and finally believed that it was true.
If it was Zhang Xiaolong who made it, he wouldn't be so surprised. After all, he didn't know how capable Zhang Xiaolong was. However, the few people behind him had been working for him for half a year, and he knew how capable their subordinates were. It was impossible for them to make such a delicious dish.
There was only one conclusion. The dish really was different. Only the most delicious vegetables could make such a dish.
However, what made him even more curious was that Zhang Xiaolong did not leave the restaurant. The dishes behind him should be the same, so how did it change its taste?
Probably knowing that Yang Haosheng would think of some questions, Zhang Xiaolong did not let him think too much about it. “Don't be surprised by these dishes. I can guarantee that the vegetables that will be shipped over in the future will be better than these, and definitely not worse!”
“Really?” Yang Haosheng was unable to hide his joy.
If he had such vegetables back then, his restaurant might have prospered, and he would not have to pay four million to transfer the ownership of the restaurant.
It was too late to say that the dishes were all the same. Furthermore, it was not something that he could find. The only thing he could be sure of was that as long as he had such high-quality vegetables, not to mention hiring an outstanding chef, even if he were to be the head chef, he would definitely be able to compete with the Flying Phoenix.
“Of course it is true. Furthermore, no one can snatch away this ingredient.” Zhang Xiaolong said confidently, “As long as we don't want to, no restaurant in Yanjing will be able to buy the same dish. So, do you think we have a chance to fight against the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant?”
“Yes, hehe.” Yang Haosheng rubbed his palms and laughed, “Old Master Yang De is a good man. Unfortunately, his son is a real grandson. I have long wanted to teach him a lesson. This time, it is finally time for me to take revenge!”
His restaurant had fallen into such a state because of his incompetent cooking skills and the fact that the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant had ordered the same dish. However, Yang Maocheng had also made a lot of bad ideas for him. This time, it was finally time for him to take revenge.
Seeing that there were no more problems here, Zhang Xiaolong turned to look at Luh Xiaoya, “What about you? Are you confident?”
“Yes, I will definitely work hard. Just like Ms Yaru, I will be a capable person.” Luh Xiaoya was envious of Chen Yaru. She always felt that Zhang Xiaolong's choice in the end was related to the fact that he was a female manager and a capable person. Thus, she wanted to develop in this direction.
“Take it.” Zhang Xiaolong stuffed the bank card into Luh Xiaoya's hands, “There are fifty million inside. It's the money that I will leave to you to operate.”
“Fifty…” Luh Xiaoya almost dropped the card to the ground.
Just a moment ago, she was almost cheated by Zhang Xiaolong for fifty thousand yuan. Now, she was holding a bank card worth fifty million yuan in her hands. It was as if she was dreaming.
“Don't be happy too early. In this fifty million, ten million is the transfer fee, and the restaurant will need to be renovated. I estimate that it will cost at least a few million to come down. Furthermore, you will need to hire new employees, purchase equipment, and advertise the restaurant.” Zhang Xiaolong smiled calmly, “We don't have any foundation or connections in Yanjing. It is not an exaggeration to say that this restaurant is burning money at the beginning. It's really burning money in real life. However, we don't have to worry about it. Only by burning money well will we be able to make gold.”
“Okay, I understand, Mr. Xiaolong. I will make good use of this money.” Luh Xiaoya held the bank card firmly in her hand, “I will speed up my learning speed, so that every cent of this money will be of the greatest use.”
Seeing that the two of them had gained confidence, Zhang Xiaolong felt even more at ease, “Alright, then let's talk about our only goal in the near future. That is to defeat the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant. Do you have any opinions?”
Jiaang Yu and his sister were quietly listening. Although the two of them did not interrupt or interfere with the conversation, they were still listening with great interest.
It was truly satisfying to watch the scene unfold. Just having eaten half of the food from the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant, they turned around and were about to destroy him. How awesome!
“Just now, Mr. Xiaolong also said that the chefs in the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant are not easy to recruit. Then we must hire some chefs with good culinary skills. The ingredients are just one aspect. If we can also get some high-level chefs, the taste will definitely be even better.” After exchanging glances with Yang Haosheng, it was still Luh Xiaoya who spoke first. After all, she was also the general manager. “Also, I heard that some of the famous chefs are already a signature dish. They will bring us a certain number of customers.”
“Manager Luh is right. With a good chef and good ingredients, our restaurant will be halfway to success.” Yang Haosheng added, “The only problem is that this kind of chef is not easy to hire. Compared to the people in the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant, they are much easier to hire. Furthermore, our restaurant has just opened, so it's hard for us to attract customers. Therefore, I think we can do more in the aspect of publicity. As for the chef, we can only look for a better one.”
Zhang Xiaolong nodded his head, “You're all right. Then, it's decided. We will first recruit a group of reliable people and hire a chef with a high salary. Then, we will do our best to promote the restaurant. Also, all the dishes will be cheaper by half. If the chef from the opposite side is willing to come over, we will pay them double the salary. If we spread the news, the more people who know about it, the better.”
“Two… double the salary?” Yang Haosheng felt overwhelmed again. “Boss, if we double the salary and cut the price of the dishes by half, even if someone from the opposite side comes over, we will still have to pay for it!”
Opening a restaurant and seeing that they were making a lot of money, in fact, they were making a lot of money, but the expenses were too high. After all the costs were taken into account, how much profit could they make? For Zhang Xiaolong, who was a professional in the business, it was a pure loss.
That's right, what he just said was very good. It was burning money!
“Don't worry, we won't be able to pay for it for long.” Zhang Xiaolong did not care much about it. “I really want to see how long the Flying Phoenix can last. After paying fifty million, we will have fifty million left. After paying one hundred million, I will take another one hundred million. I don't believe that we won't be able to destroy the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant.”
“A fierce person.” Jiaang Yu even applauded him from the side, “Now I can see that Yang Maocheng, that guy, the thing he shouldn't have done in his entire life was to curry favor with Qiu Yuquan and offend you. It seems like there is no hope for him to stay in the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant. You are really fierce!”
Business was all about the right time, the right place, and the right people. The reason why the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant was able to flourish for so long was because it had the most powerful person.
If there were no accidents, the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant could still flourish for a few more years. Unfortunately, it had already been ruined by Yang Maocheng, and it was no longer as indestructible as it was before.
Even if the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant still had the advantage of having the right people and the right place, it would be a miracle if Zhang Xiaolong could continue to pour in billions of yuan.
……
Inside the police station, Qiu Yuquan had just been released. Lee Yan was sitting behind her desk, deep in thought.
Not long after, hurried footsteps sounded from outside. Someone hurriedly walked over and said, “Captain Lee, you are really amazing. The camera was really broken by someone, but you definitely wouldn't have thought of what it was!”
As the person spoke, he passed over a small bag. When he opened it, there were actually a few thin silver needles inside!
