Zhang Yimou asked Ouyang Huihui: "Manager Ouyang, do you have a phone here? I want to call my classmate now and reserve the machine first, so that there will be no loopholes tomorrow."
After Zhang Yimou made the call, he followed Sun Dahai out of the coffee shop and went around to the villa behind.
Zhang Yimou was naturally shocked for a while when he saw this villa for the first time. It wasn't until he followed Sun Dahai into the villa and met and greeted Sun Weihong and Cao Yue that he slowly recovered.
Zhang Yimou still had a deep impression on Cao Yue, because it was the first time that he, as a professional videographer, made a special trip to complete the shooting work for a personal wedding.
Sun Weihong and Cao Yue were even more impressed by him. As soon as they met, Cao Yue was stunned for a moment and asked Sun Dahai: "Dahai, is this the cameraman invited by my family when I got married last year?" Sun Weihong said that she felt the same way.
After getting Sun Dahai's affirmative answer, the two of them warmly received Zhang Yimou. Later, Sun Dahai asked them how they still remembered a cameraman they were not very familiar with.
Sun Weihong pursed her lips and smiled but said nothing. Cao Yue said loudly: "I asked him during the wedding. He is about the same age as us, but he looks older than my dad..." Sun Dahai was speechless.
Sun Weihong and Cao Yue chatted with Zhang Yimou, and Sun Dahai went to prepare dinner. There was a large bucket of beef stewed on the stove in the kitchen, weighing dozens of kilograms. This was cooked for the cafe.
The cafe will open tomorrow. In the past half month, Ouyang Huihui has begun to increase advertising efforts, and various soft articles have appeared in various media.
As the first foreign-funded catering company to be established after the reform and opening up in Shanghai, the opening ceremony of Shouijinghao directly attracted the deputy mayor of Shanghai in charge of investment promotion to attend in person, and also accompanied the leaders of various relevant departments who came to attend the opening ceremony.
, as many as a dozen.
The local TV station's filming team has already arrived at the scene in advance to shoot, and has prepared video materials for news about tomorrow's opening ceremony.
…
Before Sun Dahai arrived in Shanghai, he heard Sun Weihong relay Ouyang Huihui's arrangements for the opening day. He, who had been trying not to interfere in the operation of the coffee shop, recalled the grand opening of Yili Fast Food Restaurant in the capital and the grand opening of Old Ken's Home Chicken in his previous life (which was very important to consumers).
For readers, it is an excruciating experience).
Sun Dahai broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but remind him: "Auntie, I have a few suggestions that you must tell Ouyang Huihui.
First: We must request the government to dispatch as many police forces as possible on the opening day to maintain order in nearby traffic and inside and outside the store, and prevent crowding, stampedes and other incidents from occurring.
Second: Strictly control the number of guests entering the store. Once it is full, you must leave a table before you can enter a table. Employees do not take turns on that day, and all employees are on duty. In addition to the normal working team, other people are responsible for maintaining order in separate sections, and put the food bought in the store
Intercoms are distributed to ensure smooth communication in all locations in the store.
Third: All food and beverages sold in the store will be stocked according to the consumption for one week of normal business on the day of opening. In addition, suppliers are required to prepare an extra week's consumption to facilitate temporary emergency allocation by the store."
Sun Weihong wrote them down one by one, and then asked Sun Dahai: "Dahai, do you think there will be a lot of customers on the opening day?"
Sun Dahai gave a bitter smile and said: "I hope there will be fewer people coming, so that the coffee shop can slowly open up the market. But it's embarrassing, just for the word 'first', there will definitely be no less people coming.
Coupled with the avant-garde decoration of the coffee shop and the two sightseeing elevators, Shanghai people have a tradition of petty bourgeoisie... In the end, it is not a big mistake, thank God."
Sun Weihong asked nervously: "If this is the case, would it be better if we didn't hold this opening ceremony?"
"Now it's not something we want to do or don't want to do. As the first foreign-funded catering company in Shanghai, we need to set a benchmark in all aspects.
I estimate that we don’t need to do the publicity work of the coffee shop ourselves, and we will get a lot of publicity resources.”
Sun Dahai lowered his head and thought for a while, then comforted Sun Weihong and said: "Actually, it's good to release some potential risks at once. If handled well, dangers become opportunities. Time will be quiet and the cafe will be restored in no time.
Completely established in Shanghai."
…
The beef stew in the villa kitchen is in preparation for the opening tomorrow. Not only this pot, there are three pots of beef waiting to be stewed.
In the workers' kitchen downstairs, there are several large pots of chicken drumsticks waiting in line to be processed.
This is a temporary help using the kitchen in the villa. The kitchen in the store is much busier than here.
These ingredients will be processed into semi-finished products today. Because the kitchen in the cafe will only do the final processing tomorrow, otherwise it will not be able to meet the needs of the guests.
The cafe provides different types of Western simple meals every day.
Sun Dahai has clearly told Ouyang Huihui and Tony not to cook time-consuming dishes tomorrow, such as pan-fried steak, butter-baked prawns, seafood fried rice and other dishes that require on-site preparation. All dishes will be taken off the menu.
Tomorrow’s simple meals are: braised (curry) beef rice bowl, braised (curry) chicken drumstick rice bowl, braised pork rice, fat beef rice, meat sauce (tomato sauce) pasta and sandwiches. Side dishes include fried chicken wings and French fries.
Salads etc.
It took Sun Dahai a little brain to design tomorrow's menu. The key to tomorrow is to ensure the speed of serving, and also to combine Chinese and Western dishes to be as close to Chinese tastes as possible.
Sun Dahai's proposal was approved by Tony and other chefs.
Therefore, when the cafe kitchen could not prepare enough food, the two kitchens in the villa were also put into intense preparation work.
Sun Dahai was handling fish and shrimp when he suddenly heard a lot of commotion outside. He asked Battle who was standing aside to take over. After washing his hands, he took off his apron and came out to see the situation.
At the door of Sun Dahai's room, he saw a person hugging Sun Weihong and Cao Yue. He took a closer look and saw that it was Fang Ying. Why is she here? Dai Wenpeng is standing next to her, what's going on?
A truck was parked in the yard, and the driver was unloading it. He was talking to Zhang Yimou, who had come out to watch the excitement. Two workers were unloading the truck. They were pairs of large bamboo flower baskets with different shapes, and they were already filled with flowers.
Sun Dahai caught Dai Wenpeng and asked him about it, and then he found out the whole story.
At the beginning of August, all the procedures for the investment company and the Suiuijinghao Cafe Hengshan Road store were approved. In other words, the Suiuijinghao officially settled in the mainland.
Xiangjiang Headquarters of Xiangjiang Headquarters is a joint-stock company. Although it is small in scale and the only project (Hengshan Road store) has not yet opened, the procedures that need to be followed still need to be followed.
Therefore, after Ouyang Huihui reported to Jiang Xiuping (Sun Weihong), she contacted several shareholders of the company in turn based on the company's shareholder registration information.
Cao Yue, Sun Yuanyuan, Sun Dahe, and Cao Shanshan were family members, so it was okay to know about it. Fa Ge and the others in Xiangjiang all knew that the first coffee shop was about to open in Shanghai.
