Sun Dahai thought for a while and felt that Leslie Cheung was right, so he nodded.
Wen Bixia became proud, and she rushed to say: "Actually, I helped you think of an English name last year, just call it 'Sea Sun', it's very simple!"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Leslie Cheung suppressed a smile and said, "Well, the Sun Sea sounds... quite beautiful."
Fa Ge also followed suit and said, "It's not bad if you call me 'Sea Son', son of the sea!"
Zhong Chuhong was already lying on the dining table, probably even her abs were laughing.
Sun Dahai said expressionlessly: "Just 'Sea? Sun', there are only six letters in total, easy to remember. As for 'Son', it seems that only people from Bangzi country like to translate it this way. The English name of the founding father is also used."
Sun'."
Zhong Chuhong blushed, suppressed her laughter, and said, "That's it. It's easy to remember and easy to listen to."
"I'll see more, it's still funny." Sun Dahai thought with some malice. Although Zhong Chuhong quickly lowered her head after speaking, her constant shrugging of her shoulders clearly exposed her original intention.
"Hong Gu, you can't do this." Sun Dahai said nonsense seriously: "If you can't control your emotions on the set, you will laugh. How many times are you going to NG?"
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone couldn't help it anymore and burst out laughing.
After a while, everyone calmed down.
Sun Dahai turned on the TV and video recorder in the room and started playing the video tape.
The content of the video is exactly the editing of the opening day of the Hengshan Road store of Sewijinghao Cafe. The photographer and post-producer are the same person, both the future national master and the current pink and tender newcomer Zhang Yimou.
Zhang Yimou is very attentive. Although he alone, holding a broadcast camera, cannot demonstrate all his photography skills and aesthetic concepts, he still strives to do his best.
On the opening day, he worked from morning to night, shooting a large amount of material. After returning, he used his rest time in the study class to carefully complete the post-production.
On the entire subject, he produced a fifteen-minute short film, a forty-five-minute documentary, and about twenty minutes of behind-the-scenes footage.
Post-production was very laborious, and he hurriedly and slowly completed the work before Sun Dahai went to Xiangjiang. He handed the produced video tapes and the compiled original materials to Sun Dahai.
Sun Dahai left the original to Ouyang Huihui, and took the copied videotape with him to Xiangjiang. Here he made multiple copies of the videotape. At least the shareholders present today must have a copy.
What Sun Dahai is showing now are short films and behind-the-scenes. Official documentaries are mainly used by the company to preserve and record history, and can be used to promote the company and educate employees in the future. As for the shareholders, it’s up to them whether they watch it or not.
The short film is a condensed essence and does not last long. After watching it, everyone expressed their opinions.
"Dahai, is this the project you helped us invest in?" Zhong Chuhong asked.
"Yes, didn't you know? Didn't you also pay for the opening flower basket before the coffee shop opened?"
Zhong Chuhong stuck out her tongue and said: "I don't care about this. Brother Fa called me and said that he would send flower baskets for the opening of the project, so I asked him to help me pay for it first. I have always forgotten about it.
I haven’t paid him back yet.”
Fa Ge took over the topic and said: "It's a matter of a few hundred yuan, Ah Hong, don't bother thinking about it. Dahai, on the first day this new store opened, there were so many customers waiting in line. Didn't everyone say that mainland China is very poor?"
Is it very backward?”
"Now, the development of the mainland is changing rapidly. Although the economy is much worse than that of Xiangjiang, it is developing at a high speed.
Based on the huge population of mainland China, the number of customers who have the ability to enter stores is by no means a minority. What's more, there are many customers who do not purchase regularly, but come once in a while out of curiosity or trying new things. Like this
The number of customers is even larger.
It has been almost a month since the Suijinghao Cafe opened. According to the current trend, I would like to say, congratulations, your investment is very successful."
Leslie Cheung is very emotional and his focus is not on making money.
"Dahai, this is the French Concession in Shanghai, right? This avenue of French plane trees is really beautiful."
"When you have the opportunity in the future, Leslie, you can go to the mainland. Whether it is traveling, filming or holding a concert, I believe that as your film and television works and songs increase, your fans in the mainland will also
There will be more and more." Sun Dahai said.
At this time, Zheng Peipei knocked on the door and came in and started serving food. Dinner was about to begin.
The four cold dishes are roe deer meat with garlic paste, duck feet mixed with XO sauce, hand-peeled lotus root in honey sauce and smoked salmon salad with fresh vegetables.
The eight hot dishes are sizzling roe deer meat, French baked snails, open-back shrimp with garlic vermicelli, flame-roasted oxtail, salmon roe in casserole, braised loofah with mushrooms and scallops, assorted tofu and fried bitter melon with black bean sauce.
The last soup is daylily, cordyceps and black-bone chicken soup.
Cao Ji's Private Restaurant is a northern restaurant, and the dishes are always served in large plates and bowls. Today there are only six people eating, and these dishes are enough for everyone.
After the food was served, Chef Cao followed tradition and came to the private room with Dumb to introduce the dishes, invite everyone to taste them, and listen to everyone's opinions and suggestions.
Chow Yun-fat has been here several times and is quite familiar with Chef Cao. He drank a glass of wine with the old man, and then asked Chef Cao to inform him as soon as he found out that a customer canceled the reservation.
Because restaurant reservations have been scheduled for three months now. Fa Ge is usually busy filming, so how can he possibly arrange a time for a few months later?
Chef Cao laughed, shook his head, and secretly pointed at Zheng Peipei, who was changing tableware for everyone.
Zheng Peipei is responsible for the reservations and drinks at Cao Ji's private restaurant. Chef Cao only prepares dishes according to the table and does not care who the specific customers are. Chow Yun-fat asked Chef Cao to make reservations, so he went to the wrong temple.
Not counting the owner of the restaurant, Chef Cao, the remaining four people have their own additional sources of income in addition to salary and bonuses.
Zheng Peipei received tips from customers, and the commission on the drinks was shared with Ah-Dai’s mother, Aunt Song.
Ah-Dai gradually took over the kitchen purchasing duties, and the commissions were considerable.
The new one, Dahe, is responsible for waste disposal. The wine bottles consumed by customers in the restaurant every day can be sold for a lot of money.
These are the most common "oil and water" for opening a restaurant. Chef Cao simply made these public and legitimately let everyone get these extra income.
This is Leslie Cheung's first time to dine at Cao Ji's Private Restaurant, and everything here feels fresh.
He grew up in a good family, and now he has made a name for himself in the film and television circles and the music industry. He has also been to many high-end restaurants, but they are mainly pure Western restaurants or southern restaurants.
It was his first time to visit a northern-style private restaurant like Caoji Private Restaurant.
Especially Chef Cao, although he is now over 60 years old, his cooking style is by no means conservative. He does not stick to the rules, but is always learning and improving to improve his cooking skills.
