Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 226 "Son-in-law" is too powerful

Regardless of whether there are any black spots in Zhang Yong’s business experience, or whether Xinrongji is playing the capital game, as far as catering itself is concerned, Zhang Yong is one of the few practitioners Jiangbei City has seen who is very passionate about catering.

This is also an important reason why the two of them can be humble and polite to each other.

When Zhang Yong saw Jiang Beicheng dining at the Rongcheng restaurant, he asked him about his experience.

Beicheng Hotel is now a catering traffic IP. It is far ahead in the traffic track and has an excellent reputation. It is worthy of Xinrongji's study and research.

Jiang Beicheng was not polite to him. As a boss who loves catering, he definitely wants to get the most truthful answer.

If you play those empty things at the drinking table, he won't get too close to you.

"Mr. Zhang, based on my dining experience today, I think Xinrongji has two major problems that must be solved right now, which may become hidden dangers for Xinrongji's development." Jiang Beicheng said.

The suppliers and colleagues following Zhang Yong were all shocked.

What they understood was that when Zhang Yong saw his friend eating in the restaurant, he was polite and asked about his dining experience.

But this young man directly pointed out the key points.

What a brave answer.

The most important thing is that they haven’t realized what’s wrong with Xinrongji?
In their eyes, everything about it is good; it is the benchmark for catering, or even the ceiling of Chengdu.

They all looked at Jiang Beicheng, waiting for his answer.

"Mr. Jiang, just tell me." Zhang Yong said with a smile.

He had other things to do and didn't have time to entertain Jiang Beicheng alone. He hoped that Jiang Beicheng could explain the problem briefly and concisely.

The manager of the Chengdu store happened to be there too. He took careful notes and went down to make timely corrections.

Jiang Beicheng continued: "The first problem: over-commercialization of services.

The second problem is that when in Rome, they don’t follow the local customs. The innovative Sichuan cuisine served at the Chengdu restaurant is only above average in taste.”

Zhang Yong nodded after listening and shook hands with Jiang Beicheng again. "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your valuable advice."

Of course he understood what Jiang Beicheng meant.

Over-commercialization of services means that waiters who work on the assembly line follow the training model completely. They seem to be polite and attentive in service, but in fact they lack humanity and warmth.

To put it bluntly, the employees do not have a passion for the catering industry or for their work, and they are unable to pass on that love to the guests.

The second point is also crucial. When opening a store in Chengdu, one must expand the Sichuan cuisine business, but at the same time, one must seek differences from traditional Sichuan cuisine to attract customers.

The concept of innovating Sichuan cuisine was personally decided by Zhang Yong.

Jiang Beicheng's comment that the taste was average was actually a pretty good evaluation, but it did not fit Xin Rongji's market positioning.

A Michelin two-star restaurant, the highest-starred restaurant in Chengdu, should pursue the ultimate taste, or at least ensure excellent cooking skills.

Both problems are not small problems. As Jiang Beicheng said, they are hidden dangers for Xinrongji to take root in the western region.

"After I go back, I will organize the management team to study at Beicheng Hotel for a period of time. Mr. Jiang, you must give me this face." Zhang Yong said with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang, you are too polite. Welcome to communicate and learn." Jiang Beicheng welcomed him warmly.

"North City Hotel?"

"Isn't it that internet-famous restaurant in Jiangnan City?"

"The one who appeared on CCTV is said to be the ceiling of Jiangnan City's catering service industry."

"He is the owner of the North City Hotel!"

Several suppliers and colleagues behind Zhang Yong were discussing in a low voice.

Boss Zhang's expression at this moment can be described as dumbfounded.

The young man who was having dinner with Wu Yuhua was not only Mr. Zhang's friend, but also the owner of the most famous catering brand in Jiangnan City.

No wonder Mr. Zhang asked him for advice.

He hit the nail on the head and pointed out the problems of Xinrongji Rongcheng store.

This is another catering tycoon!

He didn't have time to lament Jiang Beicheng's identity now. He was thinking about how to resolve the current embarrassment.

Just now in the box inside, his words and actions in front of Zhang Yong showed some contempt and sarcasm towards Wu Yuhua.

Before he could think of a response, Zhang Yong directly asked about the relationship between Jiang Beicheng and Wu Yuhua, "Mr. Jiang, are you still friends?"

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "Uncle and aunt."

Zhang Yong glanced at the pretty girl next to him and couldn't help but guess that direction. He smiled and said, "Congratulations!"

Jiang Beicheng did not deny it. Denying it at this time would only make Mr. and Mrs. Wu more embarrassed, not to mention that Boss Zhang and others were present.

Give Old Wu face if you can.

Jiang Beicheng smiled politely.

Mr. and Mrs. Wu were stunned. Did Jiang Beicheng acknowledge his relationship with his daughter?

Wu Keqing was naturally the happiest.

But he also knew that Brother Beicheng was giving face to his father, so he reacted quickly, cooperated, took the initiative to hold Jiang Beicheng's hand, and smiled politely at Zhang Yong and the others.

Zhang Yong extended his hand to Wu Yuhua, "Hello, Mr. Wu, nice to meet you again."

"Hello, Mr. Zhang." Wu Yuhua came back to her senses and quickly reached out her hand.

Zhang Yong said to the store manager beside him, "Leave Mr. Wu's contact information."

It means there is an opportunity to talk about cooperation.

Wu Yuhua was excited.

Hurry up and add the store manager on WeChat, his fortune is coming.

It was not obtained by begging for it by myself, but was introduced by my daughter's brother through his connections.

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Wu, enjoy your meal. I have something to do and have to leave first. Mr. Jiang, we'll have a chance to meet again later." Zhang Yong said goodbye.

When leaving, he also told the store manager, "Mr. Jiang and his table are free of charge."

The manager nodded.

As soon as Zhang Yong left, the suppliers and colleagues came up and shook hands with Wu Yuhua with a smile.

"Mr. Wu, you left in such a hurry just now that you forgot to add your contact information."

"Mr. Wu, why are you in such a hurry? Come on, go have a drink with us."

"Mr. Wu, why didn't you tell us earlier that the owner of the North City Hotel is your son-in-law? Look at this, we are sorry for not entertaining you well enough."

"..."

They are all old foxes and experienced, but very realistic.

Adding the name of Beicheng Hotel to their list of supply channels or partners makes their resume even more impressive.

It's the icing on the cake.

Moreover, the North City Hotel is now developing rapidly. The faster it moves and the higher it climbs, the more face they will have.

We must toast Jiang Beicheng with a few glasses of wine.

In such occasions, it would be much easier to make his "father-in-law" Wu Yuhua happy.

"Boss Jiang, come sit down with us!"

"Change to a private room and serve another table of dishes. There's no point in serving leftovers to guests."

Wu Yuhua looked towards Jiangbei City.

He felt very happy at this moment, but he also had to seek Jiang Beicheng's opinion. After all, he benefited from Jiang Beicheng's help.

Jiang Beicheng could see that this circle was very important to Wu Yuhua.

He smiled and nodded at Wu Yuhua.

Everyone called him Mr. Wu and took him to the box.

He never imagined that he was just an unpopular person, but now he has become an important figure.

It all comes down to the fact that my "son-in-law" is so capable.

Wu Keqing looked at his father's bright smile and smiled at his mother.

Knowing my dad's personality, he would soar to the sky if someone praised him.

But if their father is happy, they will be happy too.

Jiang Beicheng instructed Wu Keqing: "You accompany your aunt to go shopping. It's a rare occasion for you to come back, so be generous.

I'll go sit with my uncle."

Wu Keqing smiled and nodded.

Jiang Beicheng followed.

"Daughter, are you dating Beicheng?" Aunt Wu was anxious to know the answer.

"No, Mom, stop thinking about it. Can't you see? My brother knows that Dad has been wronged, and he is taking the opportunity to say hello to Director Zhang to save face for Dad!" Wu Keqing still did not admit it.

Her parents probably can't accept her being someone else's lover now.

"I just played along. Isn't the final result pretty good? Those people are praising Dad, and he enjoys it himself. The most important thing is that it helps your business." Wu Keqing said happily, holding his mother's arm, "Let's go shopping."

"I'll go settle the bill first."

"What are you paying for? Director Zhang gave Brother Beicheng a free meal. If you go to pay, won't that embarrass the store manager and employees? Rich people like them are very concerned about their reputation."

Wu Ma shook her head.

I sighed in my heart at the way rich people do things.

Just a few words completely changed the situation of the night.

I am also glad that my daughter has met a friend like Jiang Beicheng.

"Let's go shopping. I'll buy you a bag." Wu Keqing said happily.

Brother Beicheng just told him to be more generous.

It means letting her spend as she pleases.

The focus is on parents.

It is equivalent to a gift from Brother Beicheng to his parents.

It’s just that this thought is too precious, and Brother Beicheng is not in a position to express it himself.

Because considering the consumption level of parents, if you give them too much at once, they will have some unpleasant thoughts.

Last time when they came back from Chinese New Year, Brother Beicheng bought each of them a down jacket with a muffler, and he spent a long time explaining why.

It’s better to pretend a little bit.

Even if you can't hide it from your parents in the end, let them have a premonition and accept it little by little instead of telling them directly and scaring them.

Cause trouble to each other.

……

Jiang Beicheng and Wu Yuhua just arrived at the box and sat down.

Boss Zhang knocked politely, then walked in with a smile, calling out, "Boss Jiang, Boss Wu.

I left two bottles of wine at Xinrongji and asked the waiter to bring them over.

Let’s do it together tonight.”

Everyone at the table looked at him, and he looked at Wu Yuhua.

It feels like déjà vu.

The plot is reversed.

Logically speaking, with his current wealth and fame in the industry, he doesn't need to be humble or fawning.

There is no need to force yourself to squeeze into the table.

As long as it doesn't affect your business.

However, those who started from scratch, especially those who made their fortune through illegal means and connections, will never be able to get rid of their "slave mentality" in their entire life.

When you meet a powerful person or leader, you will naturally lower your head.

This is the "humility" engraved in their bones.

They also feel that this kind of humility is the best social etiquette and can help them go more smoothly.

Zhang Yong left, and everyone was trying to please Jiang Beicheng, so he couldn't be the only one.

He came over with Fei Tian.

But whether he can sit at the table is still a question, which depends on Wu Yuhua's attitude.

After all, he had just been in another box in front of everyone and had not treated Wu Yuhua as a person.

I wonder if Wu Yuhua still holds this grudge?

Before Wu Yuhua could speak, Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "Boss Zhang is a considerate man. He even brought his own wine to apologize."

He just noticed the change in Wu's father's mood. Before Wu's father entered the box, he only saw Boss Zhang.

There is no need to guess, in all likelihood, Boss Zhang did not give face to Mr. Wu, and may even have humiliated him in public.

Now these people regard him as the son-in-law of "Dad Wu". It is unacceptable for a son-in-law not to defend his father-in-law.

Others will look down on you and think you are a weak man.

As soon as he said "apology wine", the room was immediately filled with laughter.

Laughter can be loud or soft.

It was obvious that they were all targeting Boss Zhang.

Dad Wu felt more comfortable.

He didn't expect Jiang Beicheng to give him such face.

Boss Zhang smiled awkwardly and said shamelessly, "Boss Jiang, you're too kind."

Just walk up and open the wine.

"Old Wu, we've been friends for many years. Don't take what happened just now to heart!" Boss Zhang poured himself a glass of wine and toasted Wu Yuhua, "I'll drink three glasses as punishment."

Things have come to this point, and it would be unacceptable for Wu Yuhua not to vent her anger.

He said directly: "Boss Zhang, to be honest, you are quite impressive in the eyes of our peers. From being the boss of a wholesale department to the current scale, it is admirable and enviable.

But you are too self-righteous and think too highly of yourself.

He was showing off in front of his peers only in Shuangliu, in the food wholesale business.

In the whole city of Chengdu, your role is no different from the role I play today, they are both scraps.

Not to mention society as a whole.

In today's market conditions, it is not easy to do business. Giving each other some face in your work and relationships will provide you with more options in the future.

You continue!"

He extended his hand and asked Boss Zhang to drink the remaining cup.

These words are what he really thinks.

But without Jiang Beicheng here to support him today, he couldn't say it.

He didn't even have the qualifications or opportunity to speak.

After hearing what Father Wu said, Jiang Beicheng smiled.

Very cool!

Very down to earth and full of social experience.

Boss Zhang drank the wine and said, "Thank you for your advice, Old Wu.

Mr. Jiang, welcome to open a shop in Chengdu. I hope you can provide us with more guidance in the future."

……

"Beicheng, I'll open the hotel for you... You... have a good rest. Your uncle's reputation was saved today thanks to your help. Uncle... will remember your kindness." Old Wu was a little drunk. He held Jiang Beicheng's hand and confided his true feelings, "Our whole family, from top to bottom, old and young, are all under your care.

I...I really..."

Old Wu's eyes were red.

Wu Keqing and Wu Ma finished shopping and rushed over to pick him up.

"Beicheng...Uncle...Uncle, thank you." When getting on the car, Old Wu put his hands together and handed Jiang Beicheng the luggage.

Mother Wu felt so embarrassed that she was full of disgust and helped him get into the car.

Wu Keqing smiled and reminded Jiang Beicheng: "Brother, remember to send me the hotel and room number."

She was planning to sneak out in the middle of the night.

Jiang Beicheng doesn't like to trouble others when he goes out, and he doesn't like to stay overnight at other people's homes.

It feels inconvenient and I can't let go.

I want to open my own hotel.

"There's no need to rush this night!" Jiang Beicheng said with a smile.

"No, girl can only sleep well if I hold you in my arms."

"Okay, whatever the girl says is fine!" Jiang Beicheng coaxed, "Go ahead, send your uncle and aunt back to rest first, and be careful on the road."

Wu Keqing smiled and nodded, then went to drive.

As soon as he got in the car, Father Wu suddenly waved and said, "I accept Beicheng as my son-in-law."
