Lin Yiren has also gone to many high-end places with Yang Chen, and she knows that she can pay more to get priority service.
Waiter: "If you want to get Mr. Marshall's service urgently and first, you need to pay 5,000 yuan for a queue-jumping fee. When Mr. Marshall finishes the ongoing service, he will come over to provide services to you."
Yang Chen: "Then will there be extra money for the dishes he cooks?"
Waiter: "Compared with the dishes cooked by ordinary chefs, they are definitely more expensive. After all, he is a three-star Michelin chef. If you want to eat the dishes he cooks, you will definitely have to pay more."
Holy shit!
Isn’t this too outrageous?
Going to the hospital to see a doctor is a bit more expensive, but the cost of tests, medicines, etc. are all at the same price.
Not only did they charge a registration fee, but they also had to raise the fee for testing and medicine, which was a bit ugly.
Yang Chen has never been afraid of spending money. His motto is that any problem that can be solved with money is no problem, but he cannot accept being cheated of money.
Yang Chen: "Who made these rules?"
Waiter: "It's a rule that our store manager and Mr. Marshall jointly discussed."
This is Xin Rong Ji, not Yang Chen’s Tang Pavilion.
The other party clearly marked the price, and Yang Chen had no choice but to eat it if he could accept it, and leave if he couldn't accept it.
If Yang Chen makes trouble here, people will think that he is deliberately causing trouble.
Yang Chen: "Okay! Give him 5,000 yuan for the registration fee, and come over to serve us immediately after finishing his current service."
Lin Yiren: "Forget it, I won't eat. Tang Pavilion doesn't require registration fees, but there are still registration fees here. It's too ugly to eat."
At this time, the manager Zhao Kang, who was not far away, heard Lin Yiren's words and walked over quickly.
The waiter reported the situation to Zhao Kang in a low voice, and then stood aside.
Zhao Kang said with a smile: "Please forgive me, Mr. Marshall is a three-star Michelin chef who just came from France. There are many customers who want to enjoy his services. We can only set some thresholds to ensure that truly tasteful customers can enjoy it."
to his service.”
What you say is really knowledgeable. Taste here equals wealth.
Lin Yiren: "It's understandable to set the threshold. I also told the waiter that I can add money. But you can't pay the registration fee first, and then you have to increase the price for testing and medicine. This is a bit outrageous. The food looks too ugly. Tang Pavilion is also Michelin
Why doesn’t a three-star restaurant charge no registration fee?”
Zhao Kang: "Haha... It's wrong to compare beauties like this. We are a three-star Michelin restaurant, and Tang Ge will be downgraded to a two-star restaurant soon. You definitely can't compare with us."
Um?
Will Tangge be demoted?
Why didn't Tan Hongkai report to Yang Chen?
Yang Chen: "Who did you hear that Tang Pavilion will be demoted?"
Zhao Kang kept a secret and said: "I can't tell you two this. I can only tell you that Tang Pavilion will be downgraded soon. The notice of downgrade will come out at the earliest tonight, or at the latest noon tomorrow."
The Michelin rating has a professional judging panel. The members will come to the target restaurant anonymously and low-key to enjoy the service, score based on the service, and give a rating on the spot.
If everything is done according to standard procedures, no one will know which restaurant will receive what rating until the moment the rating results come out, and it can be guaranteed to be absolutely fair and just.
But as the manager of Xinrongji, Zhao Kang actually knew in advance that Tang Ge would be downgraded to a two-star restaurant. Isn't this strange?
He definitely doesn't have the ability to predict the future. The only explanation is that he and the reviewers agreed to downgrade Tang Court to a two-star restaurant.
In this way, Xin Rong Ji becomes the only Michelin three-star restaurant in Longguo Continent. In the future, wealthy people will definitely give priority to spending here, and will rarely go to Tang Pavilion again.
For wealthy people, even if the dishes are the same, they are willing to spend more to dine in a three-star restaurant, but will not be willing to spend less to dine in a two-star or even no-star restaurant.
This is not just a matter of eating, but also a matter of face.
Just like some people would rather spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy an LV air vest than spend thousands of dollars to buy a serious down vest from an ordinary brand.
Yang Chen has never thought of harming Xin Rong Ji, and has always been operating and managing based on the principle of fair competition and everyone's ability. However, his competitors here want to take action against his Tang Pavilion.
Yang Chen said with a smile: "Okay, you can ask the chef to come over and cook for us."
Zhao Kang: "Okay, wait a moment, you two, I'll be here soon."
After Zhao Kang and the waiter left, Lin Yiren whispered: "Brother Chen, why are you still eating at their place?"
Yang Chen: "You're here, let's eat first. I'm very curious about how he knew in advance that Tang Pavilion would be demoted. I'll ask later when I have a chance."
Lin Yiren nodded and said, "Okay."
Soon the waiter came over with the new three-star chef Marshall.
Marshall also deliberately learned Longguo dialect, but it was not very standard.
Marshall: "Two distinguished guests, if it is convenient, let's go to the private room. I can cook for the two distinguished guests in person."
Yang Chen nodded, stood up, hugged Lin Yiren and followed the waiter and Marshall to the box.
Marshall is from France, and his cuisine is mainly French.
First order smoked silver carp, oysters, bread and other appetizers, then go for the classic pan-fried foie gras, dry-fried flatfish, steamed eggs with black truffle, etc.
Lin Yiren only ate half of each dish, so Yang Chen asked: "What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?"
Lin Yiren smiled charmingly and whispered into Yang Chen's ear: "It's not that it's not to your liking, I just feel like it's a bit off. Could it be that my endocrine disorder has caused my sense of taste to become insensitive?"
Yang Chen suppressed his laughter and said, "What should I do? Do I need to send you to the hospital?"
Lin Yiren: "No need to go to the hospital, just give me a few hundred injections."
Yang Chen couldn't hold back his laughter. He quickly took out a piece of paper and wiped his mouth, saying, "That's too much! Who are you looking down on? Can a few hundred injections do it? With a body like my brother's, how can it be finished without two thousand injections?"
Lin Yiren: "Hehe... you want to murder me. I'm just treating endocrinology, not wanting to die."
Marshall finished cooking a big meal, and when he saw that Lin Yiren had a lot left over, he quickly asked: "My beautiful lady, my cooking is not good enough? Why do you have so much left?"
Lin Yiren smiled and explained: "Maybe I have no appetite."
Marshall: "Oh, that's such a shame, wasting such good food."
This foreigner really can't speak, so how can he say in front of the guests that the leftover food is a waste?
Lin Yiren: "I'm sorry, I really can't eat it. We will pay for these in full, and the right to dispose of them is in our hands. Your restaurant should not talk about waste or not, right?"
Marshall raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Oh? Madam, can you tell me why you can't eat it? Can you comment on the dishes I cooked?"
Lin Yiren: "Bad guy, please give him a review."
Yang Chen chuckled and said: "We are diners, not gourmets, and we don't comment. If you don't want to eat, we will leave."
Lin Yiren nodded, took her bag and stood up.
Yang Chen called the waiter over, swiped his card to pay the bill and left.
Marshall refused to give up and even chased Lin Yiren to ask her to tell her what was wrong.
From his perspective, it can be understood that he cares about the feelings of his guests and strives to improve his cooking skills.
But from the customer's perspective, his behavior is harassment.
Yang Chen: "Mr. Chef, isn't it wrong for you to pester the guests like this?"
Marshall: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I don't mean to offend. I just want to hear from this beautiful lady what's wrong with my dish. If she doesn't tell me what's wrong with my dish, I feel as uncomfortable as an ant crawling around."
Yang Chen: "Not to mention anything else, your black truffle steamed egg still has room for improvement. I have seen the black truffle steamed egg made by Samsung chefs without any pores, not a single one. I just paid attention to you
The black truffle steamed egg has a small number of tiny pores. There is a difference in taste between those with pores and those without pores. You should know this, right?"
Marshall: “Can anyone make black truffle steamed eggs with no holes at all?”
Yang Chen nodded.
Marshall: "Not a single blowhole?"
Yang Chen nodded.
Yang Chen went downstairs with Lin Yiren in his arms, and Yu Shishi called him.
Yu Shishi: "Sir, a big envelope just arrived by courier, and it says it's from the Michelin Group."
Yang Chen: "Oh, open it and take a look. There should be equity transfer documents and other information inside."
Yu Shishi: "Ah? Sir, have you acquired the Michelin Group again?"
Yang Chen: "Yes! If you have nothing to do, buy a few more Fortune 500 companies for fun."
Yu Shishi: "Sir, you are really amazing."
Yang Chen: "Haha... hang up, I'm busy here."
Yang Chen hung up the phone, and Lin Yiren quickly asked: "Have you acquired Michelin?"
Yang Chen: "Yes! Whichever restaurant you like to eat in from now on, we can let it be a three-star chef. Whichever chef you want to eat, we can also let him be a three-star chef."
"Hehe... My dear, you are awesome." Lin Yiren said happily, stood on tiptoes and kissed Yang Chen.
Marshall was stunned for a few seconds and then chased after him. He also wanted to hear Yang Chen talk about the shortcomings of his dish.
At this time, Xinrongji boss Li Mao and manager Zhao Kang were chatting with several people.
Seeing Marshall coming down, Zhao Kang quickly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Chef, come here quickly. The Michelin jury is here and they are going to rate our restaurant and you."
As Yang Chen expected, the Michelin jury had an inexplicable relationship with Xin Rong Ji.
They will give Xin Rong Ji a three-star rating now, and they will go to Tang Pavilion in the evening or tomorrow at noon to give it a two-star rating. From now on, there will be only one three-star restaurant in Long Country, Xin Rong Ji.
Marshall quickly ran over to say hello to the judges.
The boss Li Mao recognized Yang Chen, with a look of shock on his face.
"Boss Yang, why are you here?" Li Mao asked.
Yang Chen: "I heard that Mr. Li has a new three-star chef here. My girlfriend and I came over to try his cooking."
Zhao Kang: "Mr. Li, who is this?"
Li Mao: "He is Mr. Yang Chen, the boss of Tangge."
Zhao Kang was immediately shocked, smiled awkwardly and shook hands with Yang Chen to say hello.
Yang Chen said with a smile: "Manager Zhao is too polite. While you are busy, I will just watch the excitement. Looking at Mr. Li's happy expression, Xinrongji must have maintained its three-star rating."
Li Mao laughed loudly and said: "Good luck, good luck. Thanks to Mr. Marshall's arrival, our restaurant has been able to maintain its three-star rating without any danger."
The jury members immediately announced in public that Xin Rong Kee had received a three-star rating for the next year and issued a certificate.
It seems that he was well prepared and even brought the certificate with him.
Li Mao happily raised the certificate and announced loudly: "I am very happy today. In order to celebrate Xinrongji's extension of Michelin's three-star rating, everything is half price at noon today!"
The guests immediately clapped and cheered, wishing Xinrongji a successful renewal.
Leo Lubis, the head of the jury, said to Yang Chen: "Hello, Mr. Yang, I am the head of the Longguo District Jury. It is unfortunate that I met you today. It is very unexpected. However, we still hope that Yang
Sir, just pretend that you have never seen us, and don’t let Tangge deliberately show its good side to us. We need to see the most real side of Tangge, not only the sanitary environment, but also the service of the waiters, the status of the guests, and everything else.
Cooking skills, etc. If you inform them to prepare in advance for our inspection, we will deduct points as appropriate. This will result in Tang Ge not being able to obtain a high rating, and the responsibility lies with you."
Yang Chen: "You don't have to pretend, haven't you already decided to downgrade Tang Pavilion?"
Leo Lubis had such a good attitude, he smiled and asked without changing his face: "What do you mean by Mr. Yang? Why can't I understand? Are you questioning the fairness of our Michelin?"
Yang Chen: "Manager Zhao just told me that Tang Ge will be downgraded soon, and Xinrongji will become the only Michelin three-star restaurant in the inland area of Dragon Kingdom. He also set the time, tonight or tomorrow
Noon, which coincides with the time Mr. Leo Lubis just mentioned."
Zhao Kang was suddenly shocked, his eyes avoided looking at anyone.
The boss Li Mao glared at him angrily and scolded: "What are you talking about?"
Zhao Kang: "I...I didn't know he was the boss of Tang Pavilion. I..."
Li Mao immediately interrupted: "Shut up! Get out!"
Zhao Kang quickly turned around and walked away.
Yang Chen: "Mr. Li, there is no need to pretend at this time. I want to hear a word from you. Did you bribe them to deliberately demote me in Tangge?"
Li Mao quickly denied it and said, "It's nothing, Mr. Yang, don't talk nonsense."
Yang Chen: "If you admit it openly, I still admire you for being a man. If you dare to act or not, what kind of man are you? Do you think you were bribed by them? As long as you tell the truth, I will give you a try.
A chance to reform. If you are not honest, this only chance will be gone."
Leo Lubis and others were afraid and did not dare to speak.
Li Mao continued to quibble: "Mr. Yang, what you said is meaningless! We all operate according to our own abilities, why do you have to discredit me? Our three-star rating was awarded by the jury in strict accordance with the rules, why do you deprive it of it?
?”
Yang Chen: "If I acquire the Michelin Group, can I deprive you of your rating?"
"Haha..." Li Mao laughed.
The people around him also laughed.
The boss of Tang Ge must be very rich, no one denies this.
But what is the existence of the Michelin Group?
With a market value of 30 billion meters, it is the second largest tire manufacturer in the world. Ordinary people are reluctant to use expensive tires. A restaurant owner will never be able to acquire such a large group even if he works for several lifetimes.
Leo Lubis: "Mr. Yang, you may not know much about our group. Apart from..."
Yang Chen immediately interrupted: "I don't need you to give me popular science, you just have to admit it or not."
Leo Rubis: "How can I admit to something I haven't done?"
Yang Chen: "I just need what Zhao Kang said. As for whether I have wronged you or not, I don't care."
After saying that, Yang Chen called Yu Shishi.
Yu Shishi: "Hey, sir, what's the matter? Is something okay?"
Yang Chen: "Call the Michelin Group and ask them to disqualify Leo Lubis and his gang from being reviewed, and blacklist Xinrongji permanently. Tang Ge will not need to be reviewed in the future and will automatically receive a permanent three-star rating."
Yu Shishi: "Okay, I'll do it right away."
Li Mao looked nervous and didn't look like he was joking.
Could it be that he really bought Michelin?
Leo Lubis and others also looked at each other, and they could clearly see panic in each other's eyes.
Li Mao probed with a smile: "Mr. Yang, are you not acting? Have you really acquired the Michelin Group?"
Yang Chen: "You can find out if you check the latest equity change announcement of Michelin Group."
Li Mao thought it made sense and quickly took out his cell phone to check.
Others also quickly took out their mobile phones to check the latest equity changes in the Michelin Group.
The Michelin Group had just released an announcement on equity changes, and they quickly clicked on it to take a look.
Many people don't know French, and Eagle Language is not very good, but they can see 67%, Chen.Yang, Long.Guo and other contents.
"The announcement said that a man named Yang Chen from Longguo acquired 67% of the Michelin Group and became the controlling shareholder of the group."
"Is this Chen.Yang him?"
"Foreigners are not used to writing names the same as we do. They write their first name first and their surname last. According to their way of writing, the name of this big man's Dragon Kingdom should be Yang Chen, Yang Chen, Yang Chen, etc."
"Then it must be him. He just called someone to contact Michelin. It can't be wrong."
"Holy crap! The boss is the boss. In order to keep Tangge's three-star rating, he actually spent more than 100 billion to acquire 67% of Michelin's shares. Now he absolutely controls Michelin. His words are imperial edicts. There is no need to discuss with anyone.
Can decide how to do something."
…
The diners looked at Yang Chen with envy and admiration. The way rich people do things is so simple, so simple that it's shocking.
Li Mao slowly raised his head and looked at Yang Chen with a look of shock and confusion.
"In order to keep Tangge's star rating, you actually spent money to acquire 67% of Michelin's shares?" Li Mao questioned.
Yang Chen: "No? It's not very expensive. From now on, I can give three stars to whomever I like, and I can also control the world's second-ranked tire company. Isn't this great?"
Li Mao: "That's good, but how can you have so much money? My Xinrongji was opened many years before Tang Pavilion, and I only have a few hundred million in assets. How can you have more than 100 billion?"
Yang Chen: "You don't need to know this."
At this time, Michelin's secretary general called Leo Lubis.
Secretary to the Board: "Mr. Lubis, I am now officially informing you that you and your team have been immediately suspended by the company due to work style issues. Please return to the headquarters immediately for investigation without any delay. In addition, you will be withdrawn to Xinrong
Xin Rong Kee’s three-star rating certificate, and informed them that Xin Rong Kee has been permanently blacklisted by Michelin. Do you understand?”
Leo Lubis was stunned for a few seconds, and then quickly asked: "Miss Secretary General, can I ask why?"
Secretary of the Board of Directors: "This is an order personally sent by the secretary of Mr. Yang, the new controlling shareholder of the group. There is no need for a reason. Just do as I say."
Leo Lubis has finally given up, and Yang Chen has really acquired 67% of the shares of Michelin Group.
"Okay, Miss Dong Secretary, I know what to do." Leo Lubis said decadently.
After hanging up the phone, Leo Lubis quickly bowed to Yang Chen and said: "Mr. Yang, I know I made a mistake. Please forgive me and give me a chance to change my ways. Please. Come on, everyone.
Hurry and return the money collected to Mr. Li."
After saying that, all members of the jury took out the check and stuffed it into Li Mao's hand.
Good guy, this horse rider has obtained the stolen goods together, so there is no way to quibble.
However, even if they take the initiative to return the stolen money and apologize and admit their mistakes, it will be of no avail.
Yang Chen gave them a chance just now, but they missed their only chance.
Only now do I know it’s too late to admit my mistake and ask for mercy!
Yang Chen: "I gave you a chance just now, but you don't want it. Just do what the secretary-general told you to do."
After saying that, Yang Chen hugged Lin Yiren and left.
Leo Lubis bowed to Yang Chen again, and then said loudly to his companions: "Take back Xinrongji's three-star rating certificate, and permanently block Xinrongji! Then follow me back to the headquarters to report and accept the headquarters investigation.
"
Li Mao panicked and quickly caught up with Yang Chen.
"Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang, please stay, please stay. Go to my office to talk. Please, please." Li Mao said humbly.
Yang Chen: "As long as you admit to buying them off just now, I will really give you a chance. After all, with your Xinrongji as your opponent, Tang Pavilion can always have motivation. If you can't even judge, the entire continent will be in trouble in the future."
The only brand of Tangge is Samsung, so we feel like we are alone in seeking defeat. How boring is that. It’s a pity that you dare to do it but don’t take it seriously. I am so disappointed.”
Li Mao: "It's my fault. I apologize to Mr. Yang. Please give me another chance."
Yang Chen ignored him and sent Lin Yiren to the car.
At this time, Marshall ran over and said: "Mr. Yang, can I go to work at Tang Ge? I am a three-star Michelin chef, so naturally I have to work in a three-star Michelin restaurant. In addition, can I make what I want to tell you?
Anyone who is a master of black truffle steamed eggs with stomatal holes can ask for advice. I can make some concessions on salary, I only want half price, as long as Mr. Yang is willing to take me in."
Yang Chen: "You are actually quite good, but your emotional intelligence is a bit lacking. You need to cultivate your emotional intelligence in the future. Okay, I'll give you a chance. You can go directly to Tang Pavilion to report, and I will say hello there."
Marshall: "Thank you, Mr. Yang. Don't worry, I won't let you down. I will definitely do a good job in Tangge."
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying: "Well, I'm optimistic about you. Let's go."
After saying that, Yang Chen got into his car and drove away with Lin Yiren one behind the other.
Li Mao looked at the butt of Yang Chen's car and sighed angrily.
"Mr. Marshall, your contract with us has not expired, how can you just leave?" Li Mao asked.
Marshall: "Our contract is very clear. I work at Xinrongji, a three-star Michelin restaurant. Now Xinrongji is not only no longer a three-star restaurant, it has also been permanently blacklisted by Michelin. This means that your restaurant no longer meets the contract conditions and is a restaurant."
You broke the contract first, why can’t I leave?”
Li Mao: "What the hell! Is this okay? If you are so unreasonable, I will sue you."
Marshall: "No problem, you can sue me, and I will actively respond. I'm leaving, bye. Oh, by the way, my salary must be paid to me, otherwise I will apply for arbitration. If necessary, I will
Apply for the embassy to intervene and help.”
After saying that, Marshall went in to change clothes and leave.
Li Mao gritted his teeth angrily, clenched his fists and punched the pillar next to him.
At this time, the diners in the store also took action.
"It's been permanently blacklisted by Michelin. Doesn't it mean it's not even worth one star? It's still a waste. If you don't eat it, your card will be refunded, and you won't come back again!"
"Refund the card! Refund the card! This restaurant has lost all its class. Who would want to come to eat here?"
"You're trying to die. Isn't it good to compete seriously? You have to do something bad. Is that good now? You shot yourself in the foot. A good three-star restaurant will withdraw from the stage of history."
"The boss is so powerful. A single phone call can determine the life or death of a high-end restaurant. It would be great if I had this ability. I can't imagine how cool it would be."
…
Seeing the customers rushing to the cashier to withdraw their cards, Li Mao felt so uncomfortable that he almost cried.
You can't have bad intentions as a person, otherwise you will definitely reap the consequences.
I originally wanted Xinrongji to be the only one in the Dragon Kingdom Continent, but I didn’t expect that it was messed up, and even smashed to pieces.
However, after all, he is the owner of a three-star restaurant that has been in business for many years, so Li Mao is definitely not willing to just accept his fate.
Over the years of working in restaurants, he has accumulated some network resources.
Now is the time to take it out and use it.
Li Mao quickly shouted: "Dear guests, please be patient. Don't panic. I assure you that Xinrongji will get the three-star rating smoothly. Please give me a few days. If I fail to fulfill my promise,
, it’s not too late for everyone to return the card. Okay?”
The customers didn't give him any face.
"Don't lie! If you don't retreat today, you will run away overnight. Who should we retreat with?"
"That's right! If you can really get a three-star rating successfully, we can apply for a card later. You must refund the card now, otherwise we will call the police."
"You have offended Tang Pavilion's boss and still want to get a three-star rating? You paid these people to deliberately downgrade Tang Pavilion. Do you think they have no temper? Besides, they spent more than 100 billion to control Michelin.
, you must make good use of your privileges. Why do you let him give Xinrongji a three-star rating again?"
"Stop nagging him and refund the card immediately! If he doesn't refund, call the police! Why are you talking to him with so much nonsense!"
