After Shi Zhijian left Lee's Boat Company, he did not immediately return to where he lived. Instead, he found the "Big Rich" restaurant according to Feng Guoquan.
There are many Chinese people in Thailand, so there are many restaurants and Chinese restaurants. This "Dafugui" is one of the most famous restaurants.
It was noon at this time, and the whole restaurant was extremely busy.
Shi Zhijian was penniless, but had no stage fright at all. He walked straight in with his head held high.
The reception guests at the restaurant saw that he was well-dressed and well-dressed. They did not dare to look down upon him and hurriedly came forward to greet him: "Sir, would you like to have a meal or make a reservation?"
"Reserve a table." Shi Zhijian glanced at the restaurant. It was crowded and many people were eating. "Which is the best private room here?"
"The most elegant room is on the second floor, Fugui Hall." The female greeter wore a cheongsam and behaved elegantly.
"Can you lead me over and have a look?"
"Of course, sir!" There happened to be no one in that private room, so the receptionist led Shi Zhijian to the second floor, introducing as he walked: "The Fugui Hall can accommodate a total of eighteen people, and the windows facing the street can take in the scenery below.
In addition, we also specially arrange local Thai singing and dancing, as well as guzheng, pipa and other entertainment programs for VIPs. Of course, if you have special requirements, we can also invite some of today's Thai film and television singers to perform for you.
"
Shi Zhijian nodded: "Very good - is there a minimum consumption?"
"Yes, sir! Our restaurant is run by Chinese, and it usually receives tourists from Hong Kong and Taiwan. If calculated in Hong Kong dollars, the minimum consumption needs to be 3,000!"
In this era, the monthly salary of a white-collar worker in Hong Kong is only 1,450 yuan, and this banquet requires almost two months' salary.
"In addition, special requests such as inviting celebrities to join in the fun require additional payment." The female greeter explained very carefully. She thought Shi Zhijian was a big customer, but she didn't know that the big customer in front of her didn't even have a penny in his pocket.
.
We went up to the second floor and opened the Rich Hall. It was indeed extraordinary. Although the word "rich" was a bit vulgar, the decoration of the entire elegant room was magnificent.
The entire layout belongs to the classical style with carved dragons and painted phoenixes.
The tables, chairs and benches are made of very high-grade red sandalwood.
"Sir, how is this room?" the female receptionist asked cautiously. If the reservation is successful, she will at least get some commission, which is thirty to fifty.
"Well, not bad!" Shi Zhijian glanced around with his hands behind his back and suddenly said: "Excuse me, beauty, please call your boss over. I will discuss something with him."
"Uh, are you looking for our boss?" The female receptionist was stunned and said with a smile: "Actually, it doesn't have to be that troublesome, sir! If you want to book this private room, you only need to pay a deposit of 300 Hong Kong dollars. I can do it.
I’ll help you with the booking process right away.”
Shi Zhijian smiled: "I do want to book this private room, but I have other things to discuss with your boss -"
"Uh, that's it..." The female greeter hesitated, and finally gritted her teeth and said: "Sir, I will help you inform our boss, but there is one thing to trouble you - if our boss asks, you just say
I made the reservation for you!"
"Of course, your introduction was very enthusiastic. I will definitely praise you to your boss!"
"Thank you, sir!" The female greeter quickly made a cup of tea for Shi Zhijian and asked him to wait here while she happily went out to call the boss.
The owner of Dafugui Restaurant is named Bai. He is nicknamed "Fat Bai" because of his obesity.
Fatty Bai used to be a famous Teochew cuisine chef in Hong Kong. He was a smooth man and good at cooking. After saving some money, he came to Thailand to start a business. He first continued to be a chef, and then slowly bought this "big city" by accumulating connections.
Fugui" restaurant, and its business is booming.
Fatty Bai was toasting people in various private rooms as usual, when suddenly the female receptionist knocked on the door and came in saying that someone wanted to book the Wealth Hall and wanted to see Fatty Bai and discuss something in detail.
Fatty Bai was a little impatient and asked me to ask for these trivial matters such as booking a room. Why do I pay you a salary every month?
The female receptionist had to say that Shi Zhijian was a big boss who looked very generous and had an extraordinary bearing.
Hearing that it was the "big boss", Fatty Bai became energetic. He first apologized to the regular guests in the private room, drank a glass of exit wine, and then left the private room and rushed to the Fugui Hall.
When he opened the door and took a look, Fatty Bai was stunned. The so-called "big boss" in front of him was too young.
After all, Fatty Bai has been in the restaurant business for many years, and he has some experience. He knows that people should not be judged by their appearance. Besides, Shi Zhijian’s dress and eyebrows are indeed not like ordinary people, so he clasped his fists and smiled in greeting: "Excuse me, your Excellency, who is——"
When Shi Zhijian saw Fatty Bai coming in, he calmly put down his tea cup, stood up calmly and said, "I'm here, Shi Zhijian."
"Uh, Shi Zhijian?" Fatty Bai asked, not remembering that there was such a number one person in Thailand.
"Forgive my poor eyesight, Boss Shi is -" Fatty Bai blinked his eyes.
Shi Zhijian smiled slightly, sat down again, picked up the tea cup and said calmly: "I'm here to book a private room."
Nonsense, of course I know you booked a private room, I'm asking about your specific identity!
Fatty Bai muttered in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said: "It turns out that you are here to support my business. I am really honored! I guess our reception staff have already introduced you to you before. The deposit is 300 Hong Kong dollars, and the rest is calculated separately..."
Shi Zhijian smiled, took a sip of tea, put it down and looked up at Fatty Bai and said: "Actually, my reservation for the private room is secondary. Another important purpose of coming here is to discuss a business deal with you..."
"Uh, you want to discuss business with me?" Fatty Bai blinked, somewhat confused about Shi Zhijian's routine.
Shi Zhijian smiled slightly: "It's like this. Tomorrow Mr. Feng Guoquan and Feng from Lee's Boat Company will have a dinner here. As you know, Lee's Boat Company has always been busy with business and social events. Mr. Feng said that he likes to come here every time he invites guests to dinner.
Support..."
Fatty Bai hurriedly said: "Of course, Mr. Feng and I are very familiar with each other, and I have always been grateful for his support!"
"Mr. Feng, I intend to sign a long-term contract with your hotel. All banquet guests and other matters will be settled here in the future. This will be convenient for you and me. You can make more money, and Ritchie Boat Company can also get
More benefits…”
Fatty Bai was overjoyed when he heard this: "Really?"
Ritchie Boat Company is a big customer, and they spend money with him every month, but even so, their business is often taken away by other restaurants and hotels. Now if we can really sign a long-term contract with Ritchie, it will be considered a strong tie.
Benefit.
"Not only that," Shi Zhijian continued, "There is a big shot coming over tomorrow. Sorry, I'm sorry, but you will know who the other person is by then. If your restaurant performs well tomorrow, maybe you can pull it off in one go.
Live two long-term customers!”
Fatty Bai started to guess, the big shot? Who could it be? Looking at Mr. Shi's mysterious appearance, he looked like he had a lot of background!
How did he know that Shi Zhijian knew something!
"Mr. Shi, I'm so grateful that you helped me so much -"
"No need to thank me!" Shi Zhijian waved his hands resolutely, "Tomorrow, prepare the dishes better and serve better. Then I will bring the guests over and give you a few nice words - if I can come to one or two free programs
It would be better if you can help with the fun... Anyway, I can’t live without you for the food money!”
"What did you say, Mr. Shi? We'll talk about the meal money later. We are destined to meet each other -" As he spoke, Fatty Bai took out three hundred Hong Kong dollars from his arms and stuffed it into Shi Zhijian. He raised his eyebrows and said: "Tomorrow this will happen."
I hope you can help me a lot when the time comes..."
Shi Zhijian took the money with some embarrassment: "This is what it should be - where is the boss from?"
"I am also from Chaozhou! I am your father-in-law!"
"Yes, yes! Jijiro! Your own family must help your own family!"
