The boss cooks, and the bankrupt company opens a state banquet restaurant

Chapter 257 Are you here to make a fool of yourself?
I chatted with Mr. Mao Lin for about half an hour.

Zhang Maolin glanced at his ringing cellphone and said, "Okay, we're all here. We're in the meeting room on the first floor. Shall we go over there too?"

Su Chen stood up, straightened the corner of his suit, and took another deep breath.

I wasn't nervous when I was PKing with Lu Yongliang, nor was I nervous when I was challenged by Cui Yufen, but now I'm starting to feel a little nervous.

But this is normal.

After all, when fighting with those people, what you are competing with is your own skills, and whoever has better skills will be the boss!

But it's different now.

Su Chen's identity is no longer a gourmet maker, but a company owner, or in other words, the person in charge of a restaurant. What he wants to compete with now is not how good his cooking skills are, but what advantages his restaurant has.

There are many coincidences that make it among the five selected restaurants.

For example, among the four level four members, Lu Yongliang is the first one, and the first one in the country. This is a coincidence.

Cui Yufen who was behind came here because of the smell. Not to mention Liu Guochu and Wang Zhijun, they joined in angrily.

With their skills, it won't be a problem for them to reach level four in a short period of time.

But it was precisely this phenomenon of delicious food that made more restaurants discover the secret here, so these four restaurants followed suit. In a short period of time, the four restaurants had dozens of fourth-level members!
And the delicious food is still the original four.

Let’s talk about the banquet hall.

These two old hotels have hosted state banquets for many years, so there is no need to say much about their banquet halls.

The purpose of the two new hotels is to host state banquets, and the banquet halls were of course established for this purpose.

And delicious
Who the hell could have thought that Zeng Guofeng could make the banquet hall meet the standards?
Could it be that the secretary had thought of today when he recommended Lao Zeng?
Su Chen didn’t think too much about it, he didn’t know anyway.

The famous dishes series was a project that Su Chen had prepared early on, and he could make at least five kinds of delicious dishes.

As for the good reviews.
"I never thought that recording a variety show would attract so many customers."

Boss Su, who was confused and a little nervous, followed Zhang Maolin to the first floor.

The so-called large conference room is only slightly larger than other offices, a bit like an old-fashioned classroom.

There are three tables placed side by side at the podium position in the room, and opposite them are small tables.

After entering the door, Su Chen saw that there were already four people sitting behind the four tables in the first row.

He found a seat in the middle of the second row and sat down. Not long after Zhang Maolin sat down, two more people came into the three tables opposite him.

After Mr. Mao Lin gave everyone a brief introduction, he said that the evaluation was about to begin.

Su Chen pondered over what he had just said.

Among the three people on the podium, Zhang Maolin is responsible for scoring the membership level and number of each hotel.

The other two were evaluated according to the other two projects respectively.

Since entering the door, the four people sitting in front of Su Chen didn't say a word.

Even from their expressions, no useful information could be seen.

To the point that Su Chen felt that this evaluation was a bit of a joke. Shouldn't this kind of thing start in some kind of particularly solemn and awesome conference room, with a group of reporters snapping pictures, and then a very awesome host saying a few words to the camera, and finally a very awesome official speaking for a few hours?
Why does this feel like it's being done secretly?

"Everyone, I am the big data administrator responsible for the positive reviews on the association's official website. As of 0: today, the number of valid reviews for the five hotels is as follows:"

"State Guesthouse, 14,087. Beijing International Hotel, 9,942. Tianhe Hotel, 9,551. Peace Department II, 7,366. Delicious Come Hotel"

Cough
When the data analyst read to this point, Su Chen clearly heard the four bosses in front of him coughing at the same time.

It seems that the name sounds like a joke.

Su Chen's nervousness subsided a little, and he felt a little indignant instead.

Is your name awesome?

The name of Laozi Delicious is very nice, okay? Delicious, so I came.

How real and simple!
"Two thousand four hundred."

Obviously, when they heard this number, the four people in the front looked at each other again, with an indescribable expression on their faces, which made Su Chen in the back row feel very uncomfortable.

Although the positive review data has lagged far behind, you don't have to look like that. Who are you looking down on?
“The ratings of each company are as follows.”

The data analyst read it again and found that the favorable review rates of the top four companies basically remained at around 97 percent.

This data reflects the guests' preference for the food and other services of each hotel. As long as there are negative reviews, it means that the hotel still has some shortcomings.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to satisfy everyone. Being able to maintain a favorable review rate above 99 is already an exaggerated statistic.

“Delicious food, great reviews”

The analyst suddenly paused, pushed up his glasses, raised his head, and looked at Su Chen with some disbelief, "One hundred percent."

hiss.
The four people who had amused expressions just now turned their heads and looked back at the same time.

His eyes were full of shock.

hundred percent?

In other words, although this small and delicious restaurant has less than three thousand reviews, all of the reviews, without exception, are full of stars?
How can this be?

How is there a restaurant in the world that can satisfy the appetites of all its customers?

However, before these data were brought into this room, they were all placed together in sealed file bags. There was no possibility of substitution or falsification, unless they were falsified before being placed in the file bags.

Moreover, these data can be checked at any time on the official website, and there is no need to falsify them.

The four people's pupils trembled for more than half a minute, until the data analyst began to read out the scores of the five companies, then they turned their heads back.

According to the rules, the number of reviews and the rate of favorable comments are comprehensively evaluated according to different proportions.

Final Results.
The first four companies all scored above 9 points, but Meiweilai only received 7 points due to the number of positive reviews.

The four of them then breathed a sigh of relief.

From this perspective, judging from the size alone, Delicious is nothing to be afraid of.

After all, in the hearts of these four company leaders, no matter which of them wins in the end, although it is regrettable, it is acceptable because they are evenly matched opponents.

But if the spot was taken by this little-known restaurant that is even a bit of an "Internet celebrity", it would be a slap in the face for them.

Next came the second examiner.

"Hello, everyone."

The assessor smiled and greeted everyone. "My assessment is quite simple. It is about the decoration of banquet halls in various hotels. This assessment was made by seniors from the Culinary Association, referring to various banquet venues around the world, as well as various local customs and cultures."

He took out a document from the file bag.

"The current scores for each company are as follows."

There is nothing much to say about this round. Both restaurants are old-established ones and both came well prepared.

So in the end, the State Guesthouse and the International Hotel scored 8 points, while the Tianhe Hotel and Heping II scored 9 points because they have newly renovated banquet halls.

“Delicious food at the restaurant, banquet hall rating: 7 points.”

Su Chen felt sweat starting to form on his forehead, and suddenly he was a little confused. Why did Zhang Maolin insist on coming here by himself?

Could it be that it was to embarrass himself?

It is obvious that the investment in the banquet halls of the two newly built hotels is at least in the hundreds of millions, while the investment in the banquet hall of Delicious is only 30 million in total. Excluding the discount from Uncle Zeng, it may be around 31 or 32 million.

This is the difference between heaven and earth.

Now, just looking at the scores for the first two items, Delicious has an average of only 7 points, while the first four restaurants are basically above 9 points, and the gap between them is the number after the decimal point.

"It is basically certain that Zhang Maolin just brought me in to fill the numbers and embarrass me at the same time."

Su Chen was secretly pondering, thinking about how to trick Zhang Maolin badly after today's matter was over.

After the second examiner finished, Zhang Maolin cleared his throat.

"Here I am going to give you a statistics of the number of members of each level in your respective hotels."

"I won't go into details below level six. The State Guest House currently has 50 level four members."

Hey!
Even the three bosses nearby couldn't help but turn their heads to look. It was indeed a long-established state banquet restaurant. This level 4 chef was now considered by the industry to be at the state banquet level.

In other words, the State Guesthouse can always provide 50 chefs with experience in state banquets to serve their banquets.

With such strength, it is no wonder that he is sitting on the Diaoyutai today and is not panicking at all. "Level 5 members, 370 people."

hiss! ! !
As soon as these words were spoken, the heads of the other three companies also gasped.

What is this concept?
Level 5 members are currently recognized to be slightly lower in strength than state banquet chefs, but are actually on par with state banquet chefs in terms of strength. They just lack the experience of being the chef for various large banquets.

If we use the employees of Delicious as an analogy, he is equivalent to Jiang Wusheng's level.

He is really good at cooking, but he has never had the opportunity to prepare a state banquet, so he stopped at level five and it is difficult to go any further.

There is another meaning to what Zhang Maolin said just now.

In other words, basically every state banquet chef has five to six level five members helping them in the kitchen, not to mention the other level six and level seven members, who are countless.

Such a lineup is truly luxurious, it’s simply the Rolls-Royce of the hotel!

"International Hotel, 32 fourth-level members, 100 fifth-level members."

This number did not shock others.

The number of fourth and fifth level members of the two restaurants that Zhang Maolin announced next was almost the same, with basically each restaurant maintaining a range of 30 members.

This is also the reason why when Su Chen came here, he saw several small bosses walking out of Zhang Maolin’s office cursing.

Because of today's incident, most of the fourth-level members who have a bit of brains have found their own affiliations early on. It is so difficult for those small bosses to dig out a few fourth-level members in the market!

The arrival of Delicious Food was a coincidence. It was really a surprise that Lu Yongliang and the others were attracted here.

"Level 4 member of Delicious Restaurant, huh"

Zhang Maolin himself felt a little embarrassed, "Four."

"Fifteen Level Five members."

The fifth-level members are the Jiang brothers, Liu Abao, Zhang Heping, Lao Shiqi and a few others. In addition, there are a few members who have reached the fifth-level standard in the team formed by Cui Yufen and Lu Yongliang.

After Zhang Maolin finished speaking, the four bosses in front burst into laughter.

They really couldn't hold it in any longer.

That's it?

I was wondering who today's mysterious guest was. Before coming, the four of them chatted for a while outside the building and spent a long time researching this fifth restaurant.

I thought he was some super boss who was hiding his true power and attacking from the dark, but in the end, this is it?

Next, Zhang Maolin did not read out the scores like the previous two examiners, but stood up and looked sideways at the two colleagues, "But there is a special situation in Delicious Restaurant."

The two of them, including the four bosses in the audience, all looked at Mao Lin.

"There is a chef in this restaurant who has not registered yet. Out of responsibility for this restaurant evaluation, I personally suggest that today's evaluation work be suspended and the final total score will be calculated after this chef registers."

The four bosses looked at each other, some of them not understanding what this was doing.

The two examiners were stunned.

"That's no problem. We must be thorough in our work. After all, this is not a trivial matter. If there really is such an inside story, it is better to treat it with caution."

"Yes, I agree. The final results must be reported within this week. Mao Lin, if it really doesn't work, the evaluation can be postponed for a few days."

Zhang Maolin breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's exactly what I mean! After all, we are all working for the higher-ups, so we need to be cautious in all aspects! In fact, the current situation is very simple, we just need to register and wait for the results."

Then, Zhang Maolin looked at Su Chen, "Boss Su, are you ready?"

Su Chen nodded. He had thought about this before coming here.

But I didn't expect that this would happen in such an occasion. I thought the first thing to do when I came to the association was to register as a member, but I was directly dragged into this assessment. It was very strange.

"I don't think we should change places. We can just register here. I happened to bring my computer with me."

The data analyst took out a tablet from his bag and said, "Our big data analysis has been further improved. As long as you enter your personal information, the registration results will basically come out. Su, your last name is Su, right?"

Su Chen nodded.

The data analyst laughed. “So you are both the boss and the chef?”

Su Chen continued to nod.

The old man laughed out loud. "They say that a chef opening a restaurant will definitely not be able to run it well. I didn't expect that Boss Su can run one quite well. Okay, please fill in your personal information first."

Su Chen skillfully entered all his personal information into a software on his tablet.

As the screen flickers.

Messages began to appear one after another.

Even the four bosses couldn't help but lean back and look at the computer screen out of curiosity.

【Capital verification stage:】

【Compliance standard: Level 1】

Several bosses were not obviously surprised; it was normal for this link to reach Level 1, as the national chefs under their names basically had Level 1 in the capital verification process.

It was just that Lu Yongliang's capital verification level was 7 that year, which caused him to lag behind Cui Yufen in the initial registration. After joining Delicious, things got much better.

【Cooking session:】

【Compliance standard: Level 1】

When this standard appeared, some surprise appeared on the faces of the four bosses.

According to their previous experience in helping with registrations, the four-level members in the company are basically at level 2 to 3 in this regard.

The original document also explained it very clearly.

Cooking skills are the result of specific analysis of big data based on the customer flow of the restaurant where the chef works and the customers' evaluation of the food.

So when they saw this level 1, several bosses were indeed a little surprised. This shows that the restaurant run by this young man is in a very healthy state in terms of both customer flow and evaluation.

But it's only one or two levels higher, so it's not surprising.

【Reputation:.】

According to the document, this popularity refers to all-round popularity, including online popularity and popularity within the industry.

When the bosses saw this, they all felt relieved.

The members under their name were basically mediocre at this level, remaining at level 4. There were no highlights, but they were not a drag either.

As the progress bar on the screen gradually fills up.

When that number appeared, the four bosses frowned and looked at Su Chen in disbelief.

"How is it possible! How could he reach level 1 in terms of popularity?"

"Mr. Mao Lin, is there something wrong with this big data? If this young man is really level 1, why don't we recognize him?"

"Yeah, I've never heard of this Boss Su.Su?"

Su Chen opened his mouth and closed it again.

To be honest, I don’t know why I am so famous.

Before coming, he also asked Lu Yongliang. Lao Lu's popularity was just refreshed a few days ago, reaching level 2, thanks to the variety show.

After all, Lao Lu was already very well-known in the industry, and now that he is known by people outside the industry, his popularity has been raised quite well.

But I rarely appear in the industry, and at best I am just a little well-known on the Internet. How can I reach level 1?

Zhang Maolin coughed.

It also seemed to be intended to clear up the confusion of the data analyst.

He said seriously.

"It seems that you all only know that Boss Su is the boss and head chef of Delicious Food Company, but you don't know his other identities, right?"

Su Chen:? ? ?
Do I still have an identity?
"This Boss Su is actually not just a boss on the surface. He is now..."

Zhang Maolin took a deep breath.

There is no way, there are too many titles. If I don’t take enough breath, I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish them all!
