royal family

The matter was indeed not simple, and even the Shaw Group, which had always thought that it had the upper hand in the battle of public opinion, was frightened.

Shao Yubo threw the document in front of the assistant, and said in an extremely gloomy tone, "What the fuck do you want me to do!?"

The assistant lowered his head with a pale face, feeling wronged and flustered in his heart.Recently, Shao's network marketing has been entrusted to him to take care of. Shao Yubo only needs to propose a general goal for him to complete.How could he, as an assistant, dare to make such a decision casually while hyping up the old signboard?Shao Yubo came up with the idea. The marketing team clearly controlled the progress quite smoothly a few days ago, but why did the public opinion go off track overnight?

Appropriate false publicity will help the Shaw Group expand its popularity, but it is not the same as being suspected of winning the Gumei star honor and being sure to win the Gumei star honor!In the former, it was easy for Shao Yubo to get away regardless of whether his dream came true in the end, but in the latter one, the entire company was directly pushed onto the top of the telephone pole!It’s okay to walk forward and step on the hanging thin high-voltage line. If you are a little careful, you can always pass without any danger, but if you take a step back, you will definitely step on the air and fall to pieces!

The Shao family is already in danger, how can they have the strength to survive this fall again?

Several major shareholders of Shaw Brothers were sitting in the office. They watched Shao Yubo reprimand his assistants and did not talk to them coldly. It’s enough to scold you enough. My second son, I’ve wanted to talk about you for a long time. You said that you are not too young, why are you still so arrogant? Isn’t it just a separate family, what did the boss and the others feel sorry for you before? It's worth it that you still worry about it until now, dragging someone into the water if you have a chance?"

Shareholders of Shaw Brothers had a very good impression of Shao Yan's family after attending the opening banquet at Yumenxi. In addition, Shao's father's performance when he worked in Shao Brothers was indeed much better than that of Shao Yubo now. Well, as soon as Liao Hedong said this, everyone joined in.One by one, they scolded him for being too small-minded and not long-term, and he always did things like stealing money and dragging Shaw Brothers into trouble.

Shao Yubo was already very angry, but he was really wrong in this matter, so he could only apologize with a forced smile, holding back his shame and asking how the Shao family should deal with such a situation.

Liao Hedong leaned on the sofa and heard him say a lot of good things. He raised his head and drank the tea. A shrewd flash flashed in his slightly narrowed eyes. The gun worked."

Tian Fangli was very excited when he received the invitation call from the program of the Food Alliance of Province A.But when he reported his request to be on the show to Shao Yan, he was mercilessly rejected.

"Don't go." Shao Yan exerted some strength in his hands, and easily carried the big wine jar, which was difficult for the two big men in the corner to lift it, to the table.

The feeling of being squeezed out by peers is very uncomfortable. Finally, there was a turning point. Tian Fangli felt that this person was so unreasonable, so he asked with wide eyes, "Why!"

Shao Yan waved his hand to split the thick mud seal at the mouth of the altar, and removed the seal cloth, silk cloth and lotus leaves layer by layer.The rich aroma of the ripe passion fruit wine immediately spread like nuclear fusion, making the aggressive Tian Fangli pause in his heart.

"Why should I record a program with a group of mobs?" Shao Yan obviously dismissed the "rabble" in his concept.

Tian Fangli was surprised by his arrogant attitude towards other restaurants in Province A: "How could it be a rabble? Those who can participate in this program are the most upscale and outstanding restaurants in Province A!"

It had been a long time since Shao Yan had been pestered so persistently by someone, and after a pause, he threw his eyes full of impatience towards Tian Fangli.Tian Fangli met his gaze, his heart shrank, and he took two steps back to continue arguing, when he heard Shao Yan's voice erratic and flat: "What do you think Province A is to Yumenxi and me?"

Tian Fangli was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, his mouth was still open, waiting to figure out Shao Yan's question, but he didn't know what answer to give.

"Pig brain. Understood?" Shao Yan saw that his face changed from annoyance to calmness for a long time, raised his hand and threw the wine ladle in his hand towards the opponent's head, cursing, "If you want to help, you can't help." Help me get out of here quickly. Don’t complain to Tian Xiaotian if you get beaten for a while.”

Tian Fangli was hit by the wine ladle, but Shao Yan's throw was not heavy, it just knocked him out of the world of fugue.He realized that he had indeed fallen into a strange misunderstanding before. Mingming knew that his restaurant had gradually faded out of province A and developed in a more economically developed area. He went to a higher place, but he still couldn't forget the downstream behind him.

Yes, province A is considered a bird.No one has ever heard of a small TV station outside of this land. At the beginning, it rejected Yumenxi when it said it would exclude it.

Pooh!

-

Shao Yubo was so angry when he learned that Yumenxi refused to participate in the recording of the program, he directly swept the things on the desk to the ground.After smashing the phone and a few photo frames, he finally calmed down, but when he was discussing countermeasures with his confidants, his eyes were still red.

The left and right hands are highly valued by Shao Yubo, so they naturally know how to observe words and expressions. After learning the news, they scolded the imperial gate seat with an indignant look: "I don't know what's good and what's wrong, and I'm really shameless! Let them do it!" You still talk so much nonsense, how precious do you really think of yourself?"

"That's right, I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. Shao Dong, why should you be angry about this? It's their loss if they don't come. You have done enough benevolence and righteousness."

"Yumenxi is asking for a dead end. Give them a chance to reconcile and don't know how to grasp it. In the end, they will cry."

Shao Yubo's mood was gloomy to the extreme, and he hated his ignorance of Yumen seats in his heart, but it's a pity that the most important thing right now is not this.The Shaw Group is now in a dilemma because of his impetuous means. He has nothing to think about except to make himself a star restaurant in this Gumei selection.But getting in touch with Gu Mei's judges was far more difficult than he had imagined. Shao Yubo also admitted that he was a little impulsive, mainly because he didn't expect that the little details he selfishly added in the promotion process would cause such serious problems. s consequence.He didn't know who was behind the sudden increase in the public opinion war, but he knew that the shortcomings of this battle were exposed by himself.Shao Yubo regretted it.

The person behind the scenes obviously wanted to see Yumenxi and Shao's fight to the death. As for which side the opponent was targeting, Shao had no way of knowing based on his current knowledge.Shao Yubo wanted to stop, but this man grabbed his arm and forced him to move on.It is impossible to suppress the voices that have turned against Yingtian now. Shao Yubo hated himself to death when he came up with the bad idea of ​​using imperial gate seats as stepping stones.And now Yumenxi is not willing to cooperate with him to eliminate the rumors that the two brands are not compatible, which is tantamount to ruining his only way out to save the situation.

The dissatisfaction that had been suppressed in his heart for many years was almost unbearable.He grew up with the same education as Father Shao's two brothers. Obviously he is the one his father prefers, but he will never be as good as the other person who is over his head in terms of work ability.According to the company's employees and outside media reports, he, the second youngest of the Shao family, is a completely transparent person. No one has noticed his ambition and excellence.May I ask, is there any man in this world who can live such a useless life for decades?

It was so easy to come back and win a lot of money, Shao Yubo didn't want to lose and couldn't afford to lose.He boasted a lot for this publicity plan, which is completely different from the small decisions made in the past. If this matter fails, his prestige in Shaw Brothers will definitely drop to the bottom in an instant.Whether you can get up in the future really depends on luck.

No.

Shao Yubo pressed her forehead tightly with red eyes, and made a desperate determination in her heart - he must never be the one who was ridiculed more.

-

Gossip cannot contain, but it can guide.

Netizens who don't know the inside story are actually easily changed by specious "truths". They are stubborn and confident, and they are enthusiastic about many things for 3 minutes. After discovering the truth that they think is refined, they stand at the high point of self-confidence. Also refused to waver.

Recently, the focus of heated discussions has gradually shifted from Shaw Brothers to Yumenxi. This scene is like pouring a scoop of cold water into a crackling oil pan, and the fried oil stars are churning all over the world.The people standing by the frying pan all wanted to watch the excitement, and they became more and more excited when they encountered explosive gossip.Under Yan Daichuan's control, the situation did not become too outrageous, but Shao Yubo obviously spent a lot of money, and the focus of the gossip finally got out of control under the desperate twist of the marketing company.I don't know where the news came from. The news that Yumenxi was not to be outdone and that Shao's restaurant was going head-to-head was widely known.Some "insiders" stepped forward in a high-profile manner, and began to complain that the imperial gatekeeper's impetuous style is unpopular in province A.Rumors of various Yumenxi delicacies gaining fame suddenly spread, and Yumenxi's self-produced wine, which sells for more than 8000 yuan, was also criticized.

What is the gap between the price and cost of the product that is too outrageous, what is the old-fashioned restaurant that relies on hype to step down on the real thing, what is the close relationship with the relevant departments to maintain sales performance... In short, in the mouths of these people, Yumenxi has become a restaurant that is as dark as it is dark, except for officials who eat public funds, there will be no normal customers at all.All the known business methods of Yumenxi were pulled out to criticize.After this battle, Father Shao finally understood what it means to commit crimes without excuse. No matter how much the old customers who frequent Yumen seats are supportive, those who have ulterior motives to smear Yumen seats firmly believe in what they say. Nonsense.

People trying to shift the focus to Yumenxi are deliberately ignoring the existence of another protagonist in the gossip some time ago, but of course people outside the venue can't let them confuse the focus.While controlling the field, Yan Daichuan followed several forces that were trying to confuse the water deeper and deeper, and soon found an extremely breakthrough discovery.

Yumenxi and Shaw Brothers were not the only ones participating in this public opinion terminal battle. Province A mixed in some small shrimps that were not worth mentioning. Among the media that published press releases to hype this matter up, there were several Those who are particularly enthusiastic have some interest in a restaurant in country R called Yihuang in S city.

The origin of this country R restaurant is not simple, and its attitude is also very high.Although the company is in country R, ​​the business center is basically concentrated in country C.Including City S, the name of this restaurant is almost everywhere in the first-tier and second-tier cities of country C. As a representative of high-end country R cuisine restaurants, Yihuang can still compete with Yumenxi to some extent.

The management of Yihuang's country R cuisine restaurant has already been on the right track. Chef Sakurai Yuu won the title of Gumei two-star four years ago in the head office of country R. Thanks to the glory of the main store, it has also been promoted to one of the few ancient plum restaurants in C.The most famous of Yihuang is the cherry blossom wine brewed by chef Sakurai Yuo. It is famous for its delicate wine with the fresh smell of cherry blossoms.

A year ago, Yihuang spun off a subsidiary company called Yifuyan, which specializes in exquisite Chinese cuisine, and obviously started to seize the market for Chinese cuisine.The subsidiary is taking the high-end and expensive route of selling rare and fresh products similar to Yumenxi, but because of the unsmooth transformation, there has been no major disturbance for more than a year.It is only now that Yan Daichuan knows that Yifuyan's first store opened on the first floor of Yumenxi's building. There were not many customers in the first place, but after Yumenxi settled in S City, it became even more crowded.

The influence of Yihuang, a multinational corporation whose business covers almost half of country C, is by no means comparable to that of the Shao family's small group. Yumenxi is just starting out, and it is not a good sign to encounter such a powerful opponent.Fortunately, probably because only the subsidiaries were affected, Yi Huang's participation in the public opinion attack this time seems to be purely for venting.Yan Daichuan kept a close eye on it, and because the topic was related to the Shao family who jumped up and down to kill himself, when the original fierce artillery fire hit the Yumenxi, there was only half of the firepower left, so that the Yumenxi would not be defeated.

Shao Yan heard about the fact that his family became the target of public criticism from the school. Li Liwen and Kong Yue carefully comforted him and told him not to take those mindless attacks on the Internet to heart. After learning that Shao Yan didn't know anything, everyone All quite surprised.Shao Yan's daily schedule is already very full. He has no time to watch TV and doesn't know how to surf the Internet, so he is easily out of touch with the world around him.

This is the first time that Shao Yan has truly realized the powerful power of the modern network.Before that, he was incredulous about the existence of the Internet that could communicate with thousands of households at any time. In his dynasty, distance can be said to be the most troublesome problem.It may take more than a month for the news of a river bursting and destroying the villages and cities along the banks to reach the capital. Unlike now, a small network cable or telephone line can be heard all over the world.

Shao Yan knew that this matter was more serious than he had imagined, so he didn't dare to act rashly, so he called City S immediately.

Shao's father has been so angry recently that he doesn't care about it at all. He spends every day studying the decoration and business issues in the new store. Li Yuke is worried that Shao's mother is too fragile, so he takes her to socialize and pass the time these days.The business of Yumenxi has inevitably been affected, and regular customers keep coming to the door, but recently the number of reservation cards processed has decreased.

Yan Daichuan said: "Some people behind this matter have already found out, it's a bit difficult to handle. But don't worry too much, Yumenxi has just started, and a new enterprise must go through some hardships. Get rid of the slander about the strength of the banquet. In May, there was a world-class gourmet competition. Your grandfather also participated in it. The nature of the competition is fairly fair. I will help you find a way to get a place. You can participate in this kind of competition , can also be regarded as the strength has been affirmed.”

Shao Yan didn't know much about this competition, but he was very concerned about Yan Daichuan's parents' bad situation, which he could still detect after avoiding the serious ones.He almost watched Shao's father climb out of the trough little by little. He knew what the Yumenxi signboard meant to him. climb up.

With a long sigh, he acquiesced to the other party's actions, and asked again: "Shall I go to S City?"

"Don't come here." Although Yan Daichuan misses Shao Yan very much, he doesn't want to involve him too much in the infield struggle, "Your dad likes to be alone recently, if you come to S City, he will be under a lot of pressure .”

Shao Yan is not good at expressing, but he is really grateful to him: "Thank you for taking care of my parents."

Yan Daichuan didn't expect to hear a word of thanks, so he couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth on the other end of the phone, and said, "If you want to thank me, I will take good care of yourself, and I will help you solve other problems."

Shao Yan suddenly had the illusion that he was being protected by someone under his wings.After fighting alone for so many years, the feeling of being cared for so carefully made him not used to it.He held the phone's receiver for a long time, and hung up the phone after being reminded by Yan Daichuan.Afterwards, he huddled in the carpet alone and thought for a long time, and unknowingly, the predicament of Yumenxi that haunted his mind was replaced by Yan Daichuan's calm and calm face all the time.

After all, Yan Daichuan's business has nothing to do with the food industry, and it is not so easy to get in touch with a world-class food competition.Fortunately, these relatively professional activities nowadays are not as high-minded as they used to be in the non-information age. After paying a large amount of sponsorship fees, the entry list of the Global Food Competition, which had already set a quota, was added with great difficulty. one person.

Fire cooking oil!

The fact that Shao Yan got the qualification for the Global Gourmet Contest was immediately rumored on the Internet!

The feeble voice that had been supporting the imperial gate seat straightened up as if it had found support, and the one-sided war finally had a tendency to be evenly matched. C people always have a kind of blind trust in the international and foreign countries. Although the global food competition is not as inhuman as they imagined, Shao Yan, the title of "the youngest contestant in history", has successfully gained a lot of admiration look.

Chef Yi Huang is also preparing for the Global Gourmet Competition. This competition usually lasts for nearly a year. At the end of the competition, it is basically the arena for all the chefs of Gumei Restaurant.The news of Shao Yan's entry into the competition obviously made him a little upset. Yan Daichuan immediately felt that the pressure from Yihuang Company had increased a lot, and Shao Yubo on the other side also began to struggle. Although the situation was still within the controllable range, it was critical. more and more dangerous.

Yan Daichuan couldn't understand why opening a restaurant was more troublesome than managing a company. Behind these restaurants, there was a scheming that was not inferior to any industry.He hasn't been able to take a good rest for several days recently because of the affairs of the Shao family. After reading the two plans during working hours, he felt a little tired, so he leaned on the back of the chair and rubbed his temples with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, there were two light knocks on the door of the office, waking him up from his quiet rest.Yan Daichuan instantly put on a calm mask and said calmly, "Come in."

The assistant opened the door, looked at his bloodshot eyes, and walked in hesitantly: "Dong Yan, you asked me to contact Yan Shao to solve the matter of their restaurant..."

Young life!Yan Daichuan frowned upon hearing this: "What happened again?"

"No, no!" The assistant waved his hand quickly, and the thin stack of documents in his hand was rattling. He took two steps forward and carefully placed the documents on the table, with confusion that could not be concealed in his eyes. "...It's just that the selection of this year's Gumei Restaurant has come out...I want to ask if you know this...this situation..."

Yan Daichuan was taken aback, and subconsciously flipped through the document, and instantly saw the three words that he was very familiar with marked by Gu Mei on the paper.

He blinked, but he didn't understand what it meant, so he rubbed the corners of his eyes before continuing to read.

The mark of Gumei on the first page is very eye-catching. There is a mark of three stars on the top of the page, and the three big characters of Yumenxi are clearly and eye-catchingly arranged at the bottom. At the end, there is a photo of the signboard of Yumenxi and City A. A photo of the gate face taken at the gate of Yumenshi.

There are several rows of English words below, which can roughly be translated as the judges tasted the new restaurant in country C, whose chef is only in his 20s, and was instantly subverted by the delicious food.The judges were so attracted by the food that they didn't want to leave. This restaurant is worth traveling across the ocean for food lovers from all over the world.

"..." Yan Daichuan turned a few pages, only Yumenxi was listed in the three-star logo, and the following pages were full of endless descriptions and appreciations of Yumenxi's signature dishes.Staring at the famous ancient plum mark, he made an impossible guess in his heart, opened his mouth, and spoke very slowly, "This is..."

The assistant's expression was exactly the same as his, and he was using his breath to interpret the question "Am I dreaming?": "This is... the electronic trial version on Gumei's official website... The physical book is already in print and will be released in the middle of next month ..."

"..." Yan Daichuan asked, "The source of the website is reliable?"

The assistant nodded heavily: "It's definitely not a copycat!"

Yan Daichuan thought that the effect of the document in front of him might not be as great as that he had worked so hard a few days ago, and he didn't know whether he should be happy or frustrated.After the assistant left, he stayed alone in the empty and quiet office and carefully read the documents in his hand back and forth dozens of times. There was only one question left in his mind about this surprise without warning--what the hell is going on here? Are you kidding me! ?

As a weathervane in the food industry, Gu Mei has loyal fans all over the world, and there are countless pairs of eyes on the official website at any time. Every year, the star rating will bring a new shock and carnival.

This time was no exception. As soon as the electronic trial version of the star rating was released, someone noticed something special—a new three-star restaurant was actually rated this year!

Anyone who has some knowledge of the catering industry knows what the three-star restaurant in Gumei represents. For a restaurant, it is far more than a simple honor.Gumei has established so many generations, so far there are only a few dozens of companies in the world that can meet the Samsung standard. This is the most cutting-edge existence in the industry. Under the propaganda of the authoritative Gumei, their market is neither a city nor One country, but the whole world!Too many people are willing to travel across the ocean or even take a flight of more than ten hours across several continents to visit a restaurant for a comment from Gu Mei!

It has been many years since no restaurant has won such an honor, and the appearance of another three-star restaurant immediately became the most eye-catching news in this Gumei selection.After learning that this restaurant is located in country C, many people are even more incredulous. After all, there are very few Gumei three-star restaurants in country C. The only few restaurants are mostly foreign dishes.

The three words Yumenxi spread all over the world in just a few days, and the unstinting praise of the Gumei judges for this store makes it hard to imagine how delicious it will be. There are also a group of food lovers in C who like to pay attention to these things all the time. Because of the negative news about Yumenxi in recent days, many people thought they were dazzled when they saw the three Chinese characters on the official website.

But the truth is no! "Yu-Men-Xi" three plain bold characters stood out among a bunch of twisted and twisted words.The gourmet lovers of country C who never thought that there would be restaurants from country C selected in this session immediately went crazy—the number of gourmet restaurants in country C recognized worldwide, which is not directly proportional to the long food civilization, has always been in the hearts of gluttonous It hurts, and Yumenxi's honor of winning the three stars of Gumei by relying on C national cuisine also has extraordinary meaning to them.

It was only a matter of time before this news broke out.

The plausible condemnation of Yumenxi disappeared overnight, and was replaced by carnival good news from the domestic food industry.The media from various channels reported this incident with pride.Yan Daichuan didn't even have time to add fuel to the fire, and the negative news about Yumenxi was immediately suppressed by Gu Mei's new selection list.People's attitudes changed too quickly, and the creatures at the bottom of the water were caught before they could retract their tentacles. Both the Shaw Group and Yihuang Restaurant were caught off guard.Many people who were led by public opinion to attack the Imperial Gate seats were greatly deceived. When they realized that they had been fooled, anger and shame spewed towards them like a volcanic eruption.

The direction of the wind changed suddenly, but this time the people with headaches were replaced by another group.

At the same time, Shao Yubo was hospitalized.
