Chapter 125 Proposing the Establishment of a Catering Business Federation
() "Xu Yang, why did you have a quarrel with them?"
When the two left Lin Tongzhang and others, Yu Zhengsheng asked with some confusion.
"Uncle Yu, you misunderstood. Mrs. Chang and I had a good conversation. There was a stalemate somewhere. We just talked about some helpless phenomena, so everyone was a little depressed."
Xu Yang didn't expect that Yu Zhengsheng would have such a misunderstanding, and couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
"Haha, it turns out that's the case, but I'm troublesome."
Yu Zhengsheng said a little embarrassed.
"Uncle Yu, isn't there anyone looking for me? Are you here to help me out?"
Xu Yang suddenly felt that something was wrong, he looked at Yu Zhengsheng with wide eyes and said.
"Ahem, ahem, you can't say that. Someone asked you where you were."
Yu Zhengsheng felt a little uncomfortable. He thought he had saved Xu Yang, but he didn't expect that he had made a big mistake.
"If Lin Tongzhang and Chang Pearl find out that no one is looking for me, I don't know if there will be a real misunderstanding."
Xu Yang looked at Yu Zhengsheng speechlessly.
At this time, Zhou Manfu from Manfulou happened to be passing by. When he saw Xu Yang and Yu Zhengsheng, he hurried over.
"Mr. Xu, it turns out you are here! We have some business with you. Are you free now?"
Zhou Manfu was a little embarrassed but stopped talking.
"It turns out to be Boss Zhou, what's the matter?"
Xu Yang asked strangely.
"Mr. Xu, let's go to the private room to talk. Several friends are also there. I was pushed out to find you by them."
Zhou Manfu said with a bitter smile.
"Okay then. Please lead the way!"
Xu Yang thought it would be fine anyway, so he nodded and said.
He then turned to Yu Zhengsheng and asked, "Uncle Yu, are you coming with us?"
"Haha, I won't join in the fun anymore, you guys are more important to talk about business!"
Yu Zhengsheng waved his hands and smiled.
"Then I'll go do some work first, and we'll talk later!"
Xu Yang didn't force himself, he followed Zhou Manfu.
"Mr. Xu is here!"
"Mr. Xu, hello!"
When Xu Yang arrived at Box No. 7, it was already full of people. As soon as he stepped into the box, more than a dozen catering business owners stood up to greet him.
"Boss, you're welcome. There are so many of you gathered here. Are you looking for me specifically?"
Xu Yang was surprised because almost all Chinese restaurant owners in Lisbon had gathered in this box.
"Mr. Xu, so many of us are really waiting for you. Let's just say it directly, because of the lack of ingredients. Some time ago, we used some not-so-glorious means to obtain the goods your company gave to other customers. This has harmed other peers.
It has brought trouble to Skynet Company. I heard that your company even fired a number of employees because of this.
To be honest, I did the same thing at the time. Today we are just blaming Mr. Xu, and I hope Mr. Xu will not blame him."
Zhou Bapu from the Red Salon smiled bitterly and apologized to Xu Yang.
Xu Yang looked at everyone in shock. Most of these people must have used some crooked ideas. After seeing Xu Yang use thunderous methods to punish those employees who accepted bribes, they were also afraid that Xu Yang would anger them, so they did what they did today.
I hope I can gain Xu Yang’s understanding!
"Forget it, it's over, don't mention it again! What's more, this incident also reminded me that a company is most likely to collapse from within. After this incident, those who remain can withstand the temptation of money.
Speaking of which, I have to thank all the bosses!”
Xu Yang smiled.
To be honest, Xu Yang was really angry. Although those employees could not stand the test, it was not a fault for the bosses to seduce them with money.
But today these bosses lowered their status to apologize. Even if Xu Yang was angry again, he could only let it go. After all, if you don't hit the smiling person, you can still do business.
"Mr. Xu, you also know that we have many hotels and restaurants. The ingredients you gave me are not enough. We are afraid of ruining the sign and dare not change the ingredients casually. It is very tight now.
.See if you can send us more goods!"
Seeing that Xu Yang had forgiven them, Zhou Bapu immediately beat the snake and followed it with a stick, hoping that Xu Yang could solve their food shortage problem.
As soon as Zhou Ba Pu opened his mouth, other bosses also spoke up to support him. It was obvious that this was what they had agreed upon.
Only then did Xu Yang realize that their apology was just a prelude, and the real purpose was to complain to him about the delivery of too little goods. However, he could also understand the mood of the bosses, who gave up eagerly despite making money.
It’s a struggle. But in order not to ruin their own business, the discerning bosses can only grit their teeth and give up using ingredients from other markets.
"Don't worry, bosses, we were unable to supply food some time ago because our company only has one farm, and it has just started trial planting. Now our company's farm has expanded several times, not only increasing the amount of vegetables and meat, but also increasing
variety.
Not to mention that there is no problem in supplying you, I am afraid that there is enough to feed the entire Portuguese population, and basically there will be no problem this month. Please hold on a little longer!"
Xu Yang smiled and explained.
"That's great! I don't have to worry about running out of ingredients anymore. My hair is turning gray during this period!"
A boss said in surprise on the spot.
"Yeah, every time I see those customers ordering food and we don't have the ingredients, I can't express the tangled feeling in words! Now it's better, I don't have to worry about what the customers are ordering anymore."
Zhou Manfu finally no longer has to worry.
"What Lao Zhou said is true. Every time we see those customers leave with a disappointed mood, we feel uncomfortable. Sometimes we really want to use ingredients from other companies instead, but we are afraid that the guests will taste something wrong when they eat them.
, so I have been reluctant to make changes!
As soon as Mr. Xu’s goods arrive, I will introduce a few new dishes to compensate those old customers!”
Zhou Babu said with a smile. It seems that he is not having a good time either.
"Everyone, I can provide goods in large quantities, but I also have a request. Bosses, please consider it!"
Xu Yang thought for a moment and decided to speak out about something he had been thinking about recently.
"Mr. Xu, if you have anything to say, just say it, we are all old friends, there is no need to be secretive!"
Zhou Babu was one of Xu Yang's earliest clients and he was straightforward. When he heard that Xu Yang had something to say, he asked him to speak directly without hesitation.
"In this case, I will speak frankly. Although most of the problems in the surprise inspections of various departments in Portugal are related to the employment of illegal workers, there are also many restaurant businesses that have been caught on hygiene issues.
I just want to suggest that everyone should avoid any loopholes in hygiene. If guests have problems with their food, it will not only damage your sign, but it may also implicate our company. After all, we can be said to be connected by the same blood in the future."
Xu Yang looked around at the bosses around him and saw that they all had no objections, so he proposed his proposal.
"I have no objection. No matter which country they are in, they attach great importance to the hygiene of food businesses. Especially Portugal. Since Operation Oriental revealed so many problems, hygiene inspections have been particularly strict. Our Chinese food business is now
Now that you have sex, you must not fall into this problem again!"
Cai Jinbao, the boss of Caiyuan Hotel, said seriously.
Caiyuan Hotel was also the first to bear the brunt of Operation Orient back then and was fined hundreds of thousands of euros. During that period, the business plummeted and even went bankrupt. After so many years of hard work, it slowly persevered. Now there is Skynet.
The company provided high-quality ingredients and the business was showing signs of growth. Naturally, he was unwilling to lose this golden opportunity.
"What Lao Cai said is true, 'Operation Oriental' not only destroyed our business, it simply made us Chinese in Portugal lose face. As soon as they see a Chinese restaurant, those customers will take a detour.
In a short period of time, the number of hundreds of Chinese restaurants has dropped sharply to less than a hundred, and a large number of unemployed Chinese workers have even worked for others for free in order to make ends meet. It is really terrible to see."
A catering business owner still has lingering fears when he mentions the "Operation Eastern" back then.
"This kind of thing must never happen again. I suggest that any restaurant that wants to buy ingredients from Tianwang Company must pass Mr. Xu's inspection. Only if the hygiene is up to standard can they provide him with ingredients!"
A boss shouted loudly.
Everyone immediately looked at each other. This does not mean that their lives are being controlled. Skynet Company cannot stop providing goods to them at any time, so how can they do business?
"Cough! Cough! That's not necessary. I don't have that much energy. Most of my own company's affairs are handled by my employees!"
Seeing that the scene had cooled down, Xu Yang quickly objected.
On the one hand, he really doesn't have that much time to deal with these trivial matters, and on the other hand, he doesn't want to offend others.
"It is really impossible to have unsupervised hygiene. Even if the bosses are determined to improve hygiene, it is inevitable that their employees will be lazy. So I agree with Tianwang Company to send people to inspect, but can we add more people to come in? We can form a health supervision team
The team is responsible for inspecting and guiding the sanitation work of catering businesses."
Zhou Manfu thought for a while and put forward his own suggestion.
"Lao Zhou's suggestion is great! Let's become a catering business association and form a health supervision group. Anyone who wants to purchase ingredients from Tianwang Company must join this group! We will be inspected by the health supervision group from time to time.
.If there are any unqualified areas, they will be ordered to be resolved quickly!"
Zhou Babu quickly agreed.
For a while, the people in the box whispered among themselves and began to discuss the feasibility of this proposal.
"Mr. Xu, we unanimously agree to establish a 'Catering Business Federation' and accept the guidance and inspection of the health supervision team!"
After some debate, everyone finally came to a consensus.
"In this case, I will also express my opinion. I personally have no objection to the establishment of this 'Catering Business Federation', but everyone here only represents the catering business in the Lisbon area. Restaurant business owners in other places have no opinions, and we do not
I know, so I propose to convene a symposium on Chinese restaurant business in Portugal so that we can discuss a reasonable plan!"
Xu Yang did not blindly follow their suggestions, but found a reasonable solution.
"Okay, since Mr. Xu said this, let's just do it. Let's contact the business owners of the major restaurants separately. It will be Christmas in a while, and we can just get together and discuss the results."
Zhou Manfu nodded in agreement.
Everyone discussed in low voices and felt that it was indeed a good idea, and finally set the time for the symposium on Christmas Eve. (To be continued...)
