From selling box lunches to becoming a famous Chinese chef

Chapter 361 Successfully contracted the Huiquan Building (three updates, , please vote for me)

After visiting He Yunqing, Feng Zhengming then began to promote the contracting of Huiquan Building.

The contracting of Huiquan Building went smoothly unexpectedly for Feng Zhengming.

When the province learned that Feng Zhengming was going to take over the contracting of Huiquan Building, everyone really gave them their greatest support.

When Feng Zhengming made a series of requests such as that Huiquan Building should be run entirely by himself and no other people were allowed to interfere, the province naturally gave him the green light to pass the entire process.

The province even offered to help Feng Zhengming take over some of the people from Huiquan Building.

It can be regarded as helping Feng Zhengming take over and relieve the pressure on personnel.

As for the contracting fees, the province is willing to wait until Feng Zhengming makes a profit before paying the contracting fees.

Feng Zhengming was also very grateful for the province's full support and said he would try to retain the original staff.

He Yunqing received the notice from the province and communicated with the provincial leaders.

He Yunqing was very moved when he saw everyone trying to persuade him to stay.

"What can we do next?"

"Who is the new boss? He's really good."

Before the chefs could speak, He Yunqing continued: "If the chefs who fail the assessment want to leave, they will be given an extra salary. If they still want to stay, Chef Feng has said that they will be arranged in his dry rice shop. Go, learn from scratch in the back kitchen of a dry rice shop, and improve your cooking skills bit by bit.

He said seriously: "Don't be nervous, everyone. I have already met the new boss who took over Huiquan House. He is a very good chef. After he takes over, I will stay as the manager and be responsible for the operation of Huiquan House." , everyone can continue to stay in Huiquan Building, as long as everyone is willing to stay.”

If you can improve your cooking skills in the dry rice shop and reach the level required by Chef Feng, and pass the assessment and competition again, you can return from the back kitchen of the dry rice shop to the back cook of Huiquan Building.

"With him as the chef, Huiquan Restaurant will definitely be the best restaurant in Quancheng."

"Wow, he's really good at cooking. I've eaten some of the pork he made, and it was really delicious."

The young chefs in the back kitchen were naturally very happy with this arrangement.

So when He Yunqing said that Feng Zhengming had taken over Huiquan Building, the current chef immediately thought that not only would he not be able to continue to be the chef, but he would also be unable to stay as the back chef of Huiquan Building.

It really shocked everyone in Huiquan Building, and everyone felt it was a bit incredible.

"Manager He, as long as you take us with you, we will continue to do a good job."

Everyone was shocked when they heard such news.

"Really? Can you stay?"

"Manager He, are you really not going to continue with us?"

"Isn't he working as a food stall at the train station? Why did he suddenly want to take over the contracting of Huiquan Building?"

This assessment competition in the kitchen will always exist, and it can be regarded as urging you all to work hard and not to slack off. "

The temporary replacement chef in the back kitchen has a bitter look on his face.

"You are so capable. Didn't you watch the news on TV? How beautiful were the dishes he cooked at the youth conference? They looked very delicious. He must make those dishes in Huiquan Building for customers to eat. of."

"Yes, Manager He, why don't you fire our chef and find a better master chef? You can continue to contract Huiquan Building."

"Yes, we must work hard and try to make Huiquan Building's business pick up again."

Originally, He Yunqing thought that the chefs in the kitchen would be very happy with this arrangement.

He Yunqing caught the chef's expression, and he immediately said: "The service staff are basically retained, but the chefs in the back kitchen may need to make some adjustments."

"Is it really the top pick? Then our Huiquan Building will definitely come back to life."

"He also cooks very well. I ate at his dry rice shop before."

Although the staff at Huiquan Building had known about it for a long time, they were somewhat sad now that they were actually facing someone else taking over.

On the one hand, they don’t have to go out and find a new job.

"Manager He, if you don't continue the contract, will we all be fired?"

"Manager He, are you still the manager? Then we don't have to leave?"

He has also read the news reports and knows how good Feng Zhengming's cooking skills are.

"Yes, actually thanks to our hard work, our business is not bad this year."

He personally went to Huiquan Building to gather everyone and told everyone that his contract period was coming to an end and someone else would take over Huiquan Building next.

"Manager He is saying that our kitchen is incompetent and cannot prepare the dishes well enough for the guests to like them."

The other chefs were all depressed and thought they might be fired.

But the result was somewhat beyond his expectation.

Hearing this, the chef, who had been prepared for it, immediately said with relief: "I really want to attack the chef."

He Yunqing continued: "Everyone knows the new boss. He is Feng Zhengming, the top prize winner in last year's provincial young chef competition. He will take over the management of Huiquan Building with him, along with the young chef who just completed the catering work for the Youth Conference with him. kitchen."

He Yunqing said: "You don't have to be so depressed. Chef Feng didn't say he would fire you. He will conduct an assessment on you, and the chefs who pass the assessment will be retained."

Everyone is very excited and looking forward to when Feng Zhengming comes to take over Huiquan Building.

Afterwards, everyone had happy smiles on their faces.

I heard that Feng Zhengming was here to take over the contract for Huiquan Building, and that he would bring the young chef with him into the kitchen.

On the other hand, it is a great thing for a young chef to study in the back kitchen of Feng Family Restaurant.

Who doesn't know now that among the young chefs in Quancheng, the most capable and famous one is Feng Zhengming.

Even the master chefs in several big restaurants are definitely not as famous as Feng Zhengming.

Therefore, being able to study in the back kitchen of Feng's Gianfan restaurant, even if you stay in the back kitchen of Feng's Gianfan restaurant, is a great thing for a young chef.

If you want to change jobs in the future, you will definitely get better treatment if you have the experience of working in the Feng family restaurant.

But for a few elderly chefs in the back kitchen of Huiquan Building.

This competitive mechanism makes them somewhat worried.

Because they are older, it will definitely not be easy to improve their cooking skills. The most important thing is that they are much older than Feng Zhengming.

As a result, they have been cooking for so many years and still need to be evaluated by a young man in his twenties like Feng Zhengming, which makes them feel very uncomfortable.

He Yunqing asked the service staff to disperse first, and then talked with the chefs alone.

I understand the awkwardness among older chefs.

He Yunqing comforted him with a few words: "At your age, I think some things of honor should be put down or put down. You should be aware of Chef Feng's skills. Many master chefs in Quan City now don't dare to be better than him.

So if you follow him and learn from him, there is really no shame in being tested by him. Besides, it is a good thing to learn real skills. "

After some persuasion, He Yunqing did not force it.

"Of course, if you still don't get used to it and feel it would be awkward to stay, I won't force you to stay if you want to leave. We have worked together for so long, and I also hope that you can get a better future."

He Yunqing had already said what he needed to say, and what he needed to say.

He didn't let people make a decision immediately, but asked the chefs to go back and think about it first.

He Yunqing basically told the old employees of Huiquan Building everything they needed to say.

On the other side, Chang Zongfu finally made a decision and came to find Feng Zhengming again.

When Feng Zhengming saw Chang Zongfu coming to the door again, he said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Chang is ready to agree to my previous cooperation method?"

Chang Zongfu did not have any bargaining: "As you said before, I will fund the contract for Huiquan Building for you. I will hold 30% of the shares. I will not be involved in the kitchen, but I must make some improvements in the service."

Feng Zhengming immediately said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chang, you may be late. If you want to cooperate now, you can only hold 20% of the shares at most. As for the management of Huiquan Building, I have handed it over to the previous contractor Huiquan Building." He is the manager of Quanlou, so you have to discuss service matters with him. "

Chang Zongfu was a little surprised: "What? In just a few days, you have stolen another 10% of my shares? Do you really think I have to choose to cooperate with you?"

Feng Zhengming said unhurriedly: "Mr. Chang, you must have heard that my contract for the Huiquan Building was supported by the province. The province was even willing to wait until I turned a loss into a profit before charging me the contract fee.

It doesn't matter if Mr. Chang doesn't want to cooperate. I'm just short on start-up funds, but I think it can be solved if I get a small loan. "

After listening to Feng Zhengming's words, Chang Zongfu was completely speechless.

He did get the news that Feng Zhengming's contracting of Huiquan Building went very smoothly this time.

The province can be said to have given strong support to Feng Zhengming.

As he said now, if Chang Zongfu is unwilling to invest in cooperation and he needs start-up capital for a loan, I am afraid that the province will also come forward to help him guarantee and coordinate banks to loan out the start-up capital for him.

Chang Zongfu now somewhat regrets that he should not have thought about it for so long.

As a result, now I am completely at a disadvantage and have no bargaining power at all.

When Feng Zhengming saw that Chang Zongfu had not relented, he smiled and said: "Mr. Chang, you don't have to feel at a disadvantage. When you cooperate with me, you don't actually care about the 20-30% dividend. You also need my reputation. I think Mr. Chang is a good person." Someone who really likes food and is willing to contribute to the promotion of Shandong cuisine, so I will wait for Mr. Chang to come to me again. "

After listening to Feng Zhengming's words, Chang Zongfu thought for a moment and suddenly said: "It seems that you already know my whereabouts?"

Feng Zhengming smiled and nodded: "I don't have Mr. Chang's strength, and I don't have access to Mr. Chang's high-level social circle. I'm waiting for Mr. Chang to cooperate this time. I just hope that when I go south to Shanghai in the future, Mr. Chang can Help me.”

The reason why he waited for Chang Zongfu to cooperate was that Feng Zhengming learned some about Chang Zongfu's background through the second brother of the Tao family and Chen Zhiheng.

I knew that if I wanted to go south in the future and try my luck in the foreign market ten miles away from Shanghai, Chang Zongfu could help me.

Only then would he wait until Chang Zongfu came to ask for cooperation.

Chang Zongfu stared at Feng Zhengming and asked with a little surprise: "Do you want to go south or to Shanghai?"

Feng Zhengming nodded: "Yes, Shanghai will definitely become an international metropolis in the future. It will be a place that can accommodate the intersection of various cultures. I hope I can get a place for Shandong cuisine there."

This time, Chang Zongfu felt a huge wave in his heart, which made him feel a little incredible.

In Chang Zongfu's view, Feng Zhengming's idea is right, but it is a bit ahead of his time.

Of course, the most important thing is that there are many similarities with Chang Zongfu’s ideas in concept.

Chang Zongfu stretched out his hand and said: "Then I hope we can have a happy cooperation. This time I only want 10% of the shares of Huiquan Building, and the other 10% will be bought from you in advance. In the future, you will get an additional 10% of the shares when you go south to Shanghai." ”

Feng Zhengming smiled and also extended his hand, shook Chang Zongfu's hand and said: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."

After reaching an agreement with Chang Zongfu, Feng Zhengming quickly obtained financial support from Chang Zongfu.

Coupled with the provincial support for him, the contracting of Huiquan Building went very smoothly.

After the contract was signed, Feng Zhengming and He Yunqing came to Huiquan Building together and met everyone in Huiquan Building.

He said again what He Yunqing said before.

"If everyone is willing to stay, the treatment will be the same as before. If you are not willing to stay, you can get an extra salary, which is a little compensation for everyone."

For the chefs in the back kitchen, Feng Zhengming once again reiterated the competition method that He Yunqing told them before.

"I think some of you should know that I am a chef, so I will be more strict with the work of the kitchen. My goal is to make Huiquan Restaurant catch up with Jufengde. The quality requirements for the dishes will be very high, and the requirements for chefs will be very high." The requirements are of course higher. If you are willing to stay, you must work in the back kitchen of my restaurant for half a year."

After hearing that Feng Zhengming said that he wanted to work in the back kitchen of a restaurant for half a year, the temporary acting chef of Huiquan House asked: "Work for half a year? Does that mean we can't come back within half a year?"

Feng Zhengming nodded: "Yes, work for half a year first. During that time, you can resign and leave, but you cannot return to the kitchen of Huiquan Building. If you want to come back, you must surpass the chefs of Huiquan Building in the annual end-of-year assessment." If you have the opportunity to challenge the chef of Huiquan Building, if you succeed in the challenge, you can replace him and return to Huiquan Building.”

This time, Feng Zhengming told all the details, which also surprised He Yunqing.

Without waiting for the chefs to respond, Feng Zhengming added: "If the performance in the back kitchen of the Feng Family Restaurant is still bad, then I can only fire them."

The chefs were even more frightened to hear that they would be fired.

He Yunqing thought about it carefully and felt that although Feng Zhengming's method was cruel, it was indeed a good way to improve the level of the chef.

Finally, after a period of silence, the acting chef of Huiquanlou stood up and said: "Sorry, my age may not be suitable for such a cruel competition, so I chose to leave."

As soon as the acting chef opened his mouth, there were two older chefs in the back kitchen who also offered to leave.

He Yunqing was somewhat sad to see them leave, because the older chef still had a deeper relationship with He Yunqing. After all, they had worked together for many years.

Feng Zhengming nodded and said, "Okay, if you guys want to leave, you can also get an extra salary."

The four young chefs all chose to stay, preferring to learn and improve through competition.
