What if I have some money as an online car-hailing driver?

Lin Yiren has also been to many high-end occasions with Yang Chen, and she knows that if she pays more, she can get priority service.

Waiter: "If you two want to get Mr. Marshall's service urgently, you need to pay 5000 yuan to jump in the line and make an appointment. When Mr. Marshall finishes the ongoing service, he will come over to provide service for you two."

Yang Chen: "Then will he charge extra for the dishes?"

Waiter: "Compared with the dishes made by ordinary chefs, it must be more expensive. After all, he is a Michelin three-star chef. If you want to eat his dishes, you must pay more."

I rely on!

This is too outrageous, right?
It is more expensive to go to the hospital to see a doctor, but the cost of testing and getting medicines is the same price.

Not only did they have to pay for the registration fee, but they also had to increase the fee for testing and taking medicine after the test was over.

Yang Chen has never been afraid of spending money. His motto is that any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem, but he cannot accept being cheated of money.

Yang Chen: "Who made this rule?"

Waiter: "It's a rule that our store manager and Mr. Marshall discussed together."

This is Xinrongji, not Yang Chen's Tang Pavilion.

The other party clearly marked the price, Yang Chen had no choice but to eat if he could accept it, and leave if he couldn't accept it.

If Yang Chen started making trouble here, people would think he was deliberately making trouble.

Yang Chen: "Okay! Give him 5000 yuan for the registration fee, and come over to serve us immediately after finishing the current service."

Lin Yiren: "Forget it, don't eat. Tang Ge doesn't even need a registration fee, and there is no registration fee here. The food looks too ugly."

At this time, Zhao Kang, the manager not far away, happened to hear Lin Yiren's words, and hurried over quickly.

The waiter reported the situation to Zhao Kang in a low voice, and then stood aside.

Zhao Kang said with a smile: "Please forgive me, Mr. Marshall is a Michelin three-star chef who just came from France. There are many customers who want to enjoy his services. We can only set some thresholds to ensure that customers with real taste can enjoy to his service."

This is really learned, taste here equals money.

Lin Yiren: "It's understandable to set the threshold, and I told the waiter that you can add more money. But you can't pay the registration fee first, and you have to increase the price on testing and medicine. This is a bit outrageous, and the food is too ugly. Tang Ge is also a Michelin star. Samsung restaurant, why don't they ask for any registration fee?"

Zhao Kang: "Haha... It's wrong to compare beauties like this. We are a Michelin three-star restaurant, and Tang Ge will be downgraded to a two-star restaurant soon, so we must not compare with us."

Ok?
Tang Pavilion is going to be downgraded?

Why didn't Tan Hongkai report to Yang Chen?
Yang Chen: "Who did you hear that Tang Pavilion will be downgraded?"

Zhao Kang said in a secretive manner, "I can't tell you two about this. I can only tell you that Tang Pavilion will be downgraded soon. The notice of downgrading will come down tonight at the earliest, and at noon tomorrow at the latest."

The Michelin rating has a professional judging panel, and the members will come to the target restaurant to enjoy the service in a low-key manner "anonymously", score according to the service, and give the rating on the spot.

If all operations follow the standard procedure, no one knows which restaurant will get what kind of rating until the moment the rating result comes out, and absolute fairness and justice can be guaranteed.

But Zhao Kang, as the manager of Xin Rong Ji, knew in advance that Tang Ge would be downgraded to a two-star restaurant, isn't it strange?

He definitely doesn't have the ability to predict the future. The only explanation is that he and the judges agreed to downgrade Tang Pavilion to a two-star restaurant.

In this way, Xinrongji has become the only Michelin three-star restaurant in the mainland of Longguo. In the future, those rich people will definitely come here for consumption first, and they will rarely go to Tang Pavilion again.

For rich people, even if the dishes are the same, they are willing to pay more to eat in three-star restaurants, and they are not willing to pay less to eat in two-star or even non-star restaurants.

This is not just a matter of eating, but also a matter of face.

Just like some people would rather spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy an LV air vest than to spend thousands of dollars to buy a down jacket of a regular brand.

Yang Chen has never thought of harming Xinrongji, and has always been adhering to the principle of fair competition and management according to his own ability. The competitor here wants to take action against his Tang Pavilion.

Yang Chen said with a smile: "Okay, you can ask the chef to come over and cook for us."

Zhao Kang: "Okay, wait a moment, you two, come right away."

After Zhao Kang and the waiter left, Lin Yiren whispered, "Brother Chen, why are you still eating here?"

Yang Chen: "Come here, let's eat first. I'm curious how he knew Tang Pavilion would be downgraded in advance, and I'll ask when I find a chance."

Lin Yiren nodded and said, "All right."

Soon the waiter brought the new three-star chef Marshall over.

Marshall also deliberately learned Long Guo dialect, but it was not up to standard.

Marshall: "Two VIPs, if it's convenient, let's go to the box. I can cook for the two VIPs face to face."

Yang Chen nodded, got up, hugged Lin Yiren, followed the waiter and Marshall to the box.

Marshall is from France, and his cuisine is mainly French.

First come to order smoked silver carp, oysters, bread and other appetizers, then classic pan-fried foie gras, dry-fried flatfish, steamed eggs with black truffle, etc.

Lin Yiren only ate half of each dish, Yang Chen asked, "What's the matter, isn't it to your liking?"

Lin Yiren smiled charmingly, and whispered into Yang Chen's ear: "It's not that I don't like it, I always feel like something is missing. Could it be that my endocrine disorder has caused my sense of taste to be insensitive?"

Yang Chen suppressed a smile, and said: "Then what should I do, do I need to send you to the hospital?"

Lin Yiren: "You don't need to go to the hospital, just give me a few hundred injections."

Yang Chen couldn't hold back his laughter, he quickly wiped his mouth with a piece of paper, and said, "It's too much! Who do you look down on? Can a few hundred stitches do it? With my brother's body, can it be finished without two thousand stitches?"

Lin Yiren: "Hee hee...you want to murder me. I'm just treating endocrine, not wanting to die."

Marshall finished cooking a big set of meals, and saw that there was a lot left in Lin Yiren's portion, so he hurriedly asked: "This beautiful lady, is my cooking not good enough? Why do you have so much left over?"

Lin Yiren explained with a smile: "Maybe I don't have much appetite."

Marshall: "Oh, that would be such a shame, such a good meal wasted."

This foreigner really can't speak, how can he say in front of the guests that the leftovers of the guests are a waste?
Lin Yiren: "I'm sorry, I really can't eat it. We will pay the full price for these, and the right to dispose of them is in our hands. Don't talk about waste in your restaurant, right?"

Marshall raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Oh? Then lady, can you tell me why you can't eat it? Can you comment on my cooking?"

Lin Yiren: "Bad guy, please give him a review."

Yang Chen chuckled, and said: "We are diners, not gourmets, and we don't make reviews. If you don't eat, let's go."

Lin Yiren nodded, took the bag and stood up.

Yang Chen called the waiter over, swiped his card to pay the bill and left.

Marshall was so persistent that he even chased Lin Yiren to tell her what was wrong in the end.

From his point of view, it can be understood that he cares about the feelings of the guests and strives for perfection in his cooking skills.

But from the customer's point of view, his behavior is harassment.

Yang Chen: "Mr. Chef, isn't it good for you to pester the guests like this?"

Marshall: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend. I just want to hear from this beautiful lady what's wrong with my food. If she doesn't say what's wrong, I feel like ants are crawling."

Yang Chen: "Let's not talk about anything else, your black truffle steamed egg still has room for improvement. I've seen that the black truffle steamed egg made by Samsung Chef doesn't have any air holes, not a single one. I paid attention to you just now The steamed eggs with black truffles have a small number of tiny pores. There is a difference in taste between those with pores and those without pores, you should know this, right?”

Marshall: "Can someone make a black truffle steamed egg with no air holes at all?"

Yang Chen nodded.

Marshall: "Not a single blowhole?"

Yang Chen nodded.

Yang Chen went downstairs with Lin Yiren in his arms, and Yu Shishi called him.

Yu Shishi: "Sir, a big envelope was delivered by courier just now, and it said it was sent by Michelin Group."

Yang Chen: "Oh, open it and have a look, there should be information such as equity transfer documents inside."

Yu Shishi: "Huh? Sir, you bought the Michelin Group again?"

Yang Chen: "Yes! I have nothing to do when I'm idle, so I can buy a few Fortune 500 companies for fun."

Yu Shishi: "Sir, you are really amazing."

Yang Chen: "Haha... I'm done, I'm busy here."

Yang Chen hung up the phone, Lin Yiren hurriedly asked: "Have you bought Michelin?"

Yang Chen: "Yes! Which restaurant you like to eat in the future, we will let him be a three-star chef. Whichever chef you want to eat, we can also let him be a three-star chef."

"Hee hee... my dear, you're awesome." Lin Yiren said happily, and kissed Yang Chen on tiptoe.

Marshall was stunned for a few seconds and then chased after him. He also wanted to hear Yang Chen talk about the shortcomings of his dishes.

At this time, Li Mao, the owner of Xinrongji, and Zhao Kang, the manager, were chatting with a few people.

Seeing Marshall coming down, Zhao Kang quickly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Chef, come here quickly. The Michelin jury is here, and they are going to rate our restaurant and you."

Sure enough, as Yang Chen expected, the Michelin jury has an inexplicable relationship with Xinrongji.

They now give Xinrongji a three-star rating, and then go to Tangge to give it a two-star rating in the evening or at noon tomorrow. From now on, there will only be a three-star restaurant in Xinrongji in Longguo.

Marshall hurried over to say hello to the jury members.

Boss Li Mao recognized Yang Chen, with a hint of shock on his face.

"Boss Yang, why are you here?" Li Mao asked.

Yang Chen: "I heard that Mr. Li has a new three-star chef here. My girlfriend and I came over to taste his cooking."

Zhao Kang: "President Li, who is this?"

Li Mao: "He is Mr. Yang Chen, the boss of Tang Pavilion."

Zhao Kang was shocked immediately, and shook hands with Yang Chen to say hello with an awkward smile.

Yang Chen said with a smile: "Manager Zhao is too polite. You are busy, so I will just watch the fun. Seeing Mr. Li's happy expression, Xin Rong Ji must have kept the three-star rating."

Li Mao laughed loudly and said, "Good luck, good luck. Thanks to the arrival of Mr. Marshall, our restaurant managed to keep its three-star rating."

The members of the jury immediately announced in public that Xinrongji had won the three-star rating for the next year and issued a certificate.

It seems that the preparations are well prepared, and even the certificates are brought with them.

Li Mao held up the certificate very happily, and announced loudly: "I am very happy today. In order to celebrate Xinrongji's continuation of the Michelin three-star rating, today at noon, the whole house is half price!"

The guests immediately applauded and cheered, wishing Xinrongji a successful renewal.

Rio Lubis, the head of the jury, said to Yang Chen: "Mr. Yang, hello, I am the head of the jury in Longguo District. It is very unfortunate that I met you today. It is very unexpected. However, we still hope that Yang Sir, just pretend that you have never met us, and don't let Tang Ge deliberately show us a good side. We need to see the most authentic side of Tang Ge, not only the hygienic environment, but also the service of the waiters, the status of the guests, and the general public. Cooking skills, etc. If you inform them to prepare in advance for our inspection, we will deduct points as appropriate, so that Tang Ge cannot get a high rating, and the responsibility can be on your side."

Yang Chen: "You don't need to pretend anymore, haven't you already decided to downgrade Tang Pavilion?"

Rio Rubis was in a good mood, and asked with a smile without changing his face: "What does Mr. Yang mean by this? Why can't I understand? Are you questioning the fairness of our Michelin?"

Yang Chen: "Manager Zhao told me just now that Tang Pavilion will be downgraded soon, and Xinrongji will become the only Michelin three-star restaurant in the inland area of ​​Longguo. He also set the time, tonight or tomorrow At noon, it coincides with the time that Mr. Rio Lubis just said."

Zhao Kang was shocked immediately, his eyes dodged and he didn't dare to look at anyone.

The boss Li Mao glared at him angrily, and blamed him, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhao Kang: "I...I didn't know he was the boss of Tang Ge. I..."

Li Mao immediately interrupted: "Shut up! Get out!"

Zhao Kang quickly turned around and walked away.

Yang Chen: "Mr. Li, there's no need to pretend at this time. I want to hear from you, did you bribe them to deliberately downgrade Tang Pavilion?"

Li Mao quickly denied it and said: "There is no such thing, Mr. Yang, don't talk nonsense."

Yang Chen: "If you admit it openly, I still admire you as a man. What kind of man are you if you dare to do something but not to be it? How many of you said, have you been bought by them? As long as you tell the truth, I will give you one A chance to reform. If you are dishonest, this one and only chance will be lost."

Rio Lubis and the others were too scared to speak.

Li Mao continued to quibble: "Mr. Yang, what you said is meaningless! Everyone operates according to their own ability, why do you insist on discrediting me? Our three-star rating is judged by the jury strictly according to the rules. Why do you deprive me of it?" ?”

Yang Chen: "I bought the Michelin Group, can I deprive you of your rating?"

"Haha..." Li Mao laughed.

The people around also laughed.

Tang Ge's boss must be very rich, and no one would deny that.

But how does the Michelin Group exist?
With a market value of 300 billion meters gold, the world's second largest tire manufacturer, ordinary people are reluctant to use expensive tires, and a restaurant owner will not be able to acquire such a large group in a few lifetimes.

Rio Lubis: "Mr. Yang, you may not know our group very well. Except for..."

Yang Chen immediately interrupted: "I don't need you to give me science popularization, you just say you admit it or not."

Rio Lubis: "How can I admit to something I haven't done?"

Yang Chen: "I just need what Zhao Kang said. As for whether I wronged you, I don't care."

After finishing speaking, Yang Chen called Yu Shishi.

Yu Shishi: "Hey, sir, what's the matter, is there something wrong?"

Yang Chen: "Call the Michelin Group and ask them to disqualify Rio Rubis and his gang from judging, and permanently block Xinrongji. Tang Ge will not need to be judged in the future, and will automatically get a permanent three-star rating."

Yu Shishi: "Okay, I'll do it right away."

Li Mao's expression became tense, and he didn't look like he was joking.

Could it be that he really bought Michelin?

Rio Lubis and the others also looked at each other, obviously seeing panic in each other's eyes.

Li Mao tentatively asked with a smile: "Mr. Yang, aren't you acting? Did you really buy the Michelin Group?"

Yang Chen: "Check out the latest announcement of the Michelin Group's shareholding changes and you'll know."

Li Mao thought it made sense, so he quickly took out his phone to check.

Everyone else hurriedly took out their mobile phones to check the latest equity changes of the Michelin Group.

The Michelin Group just released an announcement on shareholding changes, and they quickly clicked on it.

Many people don't know French, and Eagle is not very fluent, but they can see 67%, Chen.Yang, Long.Guo and other content.

"The announcement said that a person named Yang Chen from Longguo acquired 67% of the Michelin Group and became the controlling shareholder of the group."

"Could this Chen. Yang be him?"

"Foreigners are not used to writing their names in the same way as we are used to. They put the first name first and the last name last. According to their way of writing, this big guy's Longguo name should be Yang Chen, Yang Chen, Yang Chen, etc."

"That must be him. He called someone to contact Michelin just now. It must be right."

"Damn! The boss is the boss. In order to keep Tang Ge's three-star rating, he even spent more than 1000 billion to acquire 67% of Michelin's shares. Now he absolutely controls Michelin. His words are the imperial decree. He doesn't need to discuss with anyone at all. Decide what to do."

……

The diners cast envious and admiring glances at Yang Chen, the way rich people do things is really too simple, so simple that it's shocking.

Li Mao slowly raised his head, looking at Yang Chen with a look of shock + doubt.

"In order to keep Tang Ge's star rating, you actually spent money to buy 67% of Michelin's shares?" Li Mao questioned.

Yang Chen: "Can't it? It's not very expensive. In the future, I will give Samsung to whoever I like, and I can control the second-ranked tire company in the world. Isn't that great?"

Li Mao: "That's good, but how can you have so much money? My Xin Rong Ji opened many years earlier than Tang Ge's, and I only have a few hundred million in assets. How can you have more than 1000 billion?"

Yang Chen: "You don't need to know about this."

At this moment, Michelin's board secretary called Rio Lubis.

Secretary of the Board: "Mr. Lubis, I am now officially informing you that you and your team have been suspended by the company immediately due to work style issues. Please return to the headquarters immediately for investigation without any delay. In addition, you will be returned to Xinrong Kee's three-star rating certificate, and informed them that Xinrongji has been permanently blocked by Michelin. Do you understand?"

Rio Lubis was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly asked: "Miss Dong Mi, may I ask why?"

Secretary Dong: "The secretary of the group's new controlling shareholder, Mr. Yang, personally sent the order. There is no reason for it. Just do what I say."

Rio Rubis finally gave up now, Yang Chen really bought 67% of Michelin Group's shares.

"Okay, Miss Dong Mi, I know what to do." Rio Rubis said decadently.

After hanging up the phone, Rio Lubis quickly bowed to Yang Chen, and said, "Mr. Yang, I know I was wrong, please forgive me, you must give me a chance to reform. Please. Come on, everyone Hurry up and return the collected money to Mr. Li."

After finishing speaking, all members of the jury took out the check and stuffed it into Li Mao's hands.

Good guy, this horse rider got the stolen goods, so there is no way to quibble.

However, even if they take the initiative to return the stolen money and apologize and admit their mistakes, it will not help.

Yang Chen gave them a chance just now, but they missed the only chance.

It's too late to admit my mistake and beg for mercy now!

Yang Chen: "I gave you a chance just now, but you didn't want it yourself. Do things according to what Secretary Dong told you."

After finishing speaking, Yang Chen hugged Lin Yiren and left.

Rio Rubis bowed to Yang Chen again, and then loudly said to his companions: "Retract Xinrongji's three-star rating certificate, and permanently block Xinrongji! Then follow me back to the headquarters to report and accept the investigation by the headquarters. "

Li Mao panicked, and quickly caught up with Yang Chen.

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang, please stop, please stay. Go to my office and talk. Please, please." Li Mao said very humblely.

Yang Chen: "Just now, as long as you admit that you bought them, I will really give you a chance. After all, with you Xinrongji as your opponent, Tang Pavilion can always have motivation. If you can't even be judged, the entire continent will Tangge is the only brand that is Samsung, and we have a feeling of being alone, which is so boring. It’s a pity that you dare to do it or not, it’s so disappointing to me.”

Li Mao: "It's my fault, my fault. I apologize to Mr. Yang, please give me another chance."

Yang Chen ignored him and sent Lin Yiren to the car.

At this time, Marshall ran over and said, "Mr. Yang, can I go to work in Tangge? I am a Michelin three-star chef, so naturally I have to work in a Michelin three-star restaurant. In addition, I really want to tell you if I can make it Ask any masters of Steamed Eggs with Stomach Black Truffle. I can compromise on salary, I only want half the price, as long as Mr. Yang is willing to take me in."

Yang Chen: "You're a pretty good person, but your EQ is not enough. You need to cultivate your EQ in the future. Okay, I'll give you a chance. You go directly to Tang Pavilion to report, and I'll say hello there."

Marshall: "Thank you, Mr. Yang. Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down, and I will definitely do well in Tang Pavilion."

Yang Chen nodded with a smile, and said, "Well, I like you. Let's go."

After finishing speaking, Yang Chen got into his car, and drove away with Lin Yiren.

Li Mao looked at Yang Chen's car butt, and sighed angrily.

"Mr. Marshall, your contract with us hasn't expired yet, how can you just leave?" Li Mao asked.

Marshall: "Our contract is very clear. I work at Xin Rong Ji, a three-star Michelin restaurant. Now Xin Rong Ji is not only not a three-star restaurant, but has also been permanently blocked by Michelin. This means that your restaurant no longer meets the conditions of the contract. You are the first to breach the contract, why can't I leave?"

Li Mao: "I'm stupid! This nima is okay? If you are so unreasonable, I will sue you."

Marshall: "No problem, you can sue me, and I will actively respond to the lawsuit. I'm leaving, bye. Oh, by the way, it's my salary to hint to call me, otherwise I will apply for arbitration, and I will Apply to the embassy to step in and help."

After speaking, Marshall went in to change clothes and leave.

Li Mao gritted his teeth angrily, clenched his fist and punched the pillar next to him.

At this time, the diners in the store also took action.

"This has been permanently blocked by Michelin, isn't it even worse than one star? Then it's a shame, if you don't eat, you will return the card, and you will never come again!"

"Return the card! Return the card! This restaurant has no grade at all, who wants to come to eat."

"Damn it, isn't it good to compete in a serious manner? You have to play tricks. Is it okay now? Shoot yourself in the foot, and the good three-star restaurant will just withdraw from the stage of history."

"The boss is amazing. A phone call can decide the life or death of a high-end restaurant. If only I had this kind of ability, I can't imagine how cool it would be."

……

Seeing the customers scrambling to the cash register to withdraw their cards, Li Mao almost cried in distress.

You can't have bad intentions in life, otherwise you will definitely reap the consequences.

I originally wanted Xinrongji to be the only one in the mainland of Longguo, but I didn't expect to mess it up, and it was smashed to pieces.

However, after all, he is the owner of a three-star restaurant that has been in business for many years, so Li Mao is definitely not willing to accept his fate like this.

Over the years of being a restaurant, he has more or less accumulated some network resources.

Now is the time to take it out and use it.

Li Mao hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient. Don't panic, I assure you that the three-star rating of Xinrongji will be successfully won. Give me a few days, if I fail to fulfill my promise , it’s not too late for everyone to return the card. Okay?”

The customers didn't give him any face.

"Don't lie! We won't retreat today, you ran away overnight, who are we going to retreat with?"

"That's right! If you can get the three-star rating smoothly, we will apply for the card later. We must return the card now, or we will call the police."

"You have offended Tang Ge's boss, and you still want to get a three-star rating smoothly? You spent money to bribe these people to deliberately downgrade Tang Ge, and you have no temper? Besides, they spent more than 1000 billion to control Michelin, You must make good use of your privileges. Why do you ask him to re-issue Xinrongji with a three-star rating?"

"Don't talk to him, return the card quickly! If he doesn't return it, call the police directly! How come there are so many nonsense to talk to him!"

……
