First European Emperor [Quick Transmigration]

The old man looked at the phoenix locked in the pineapple and remained silent for a long time.

Not to mention how difficult it is to carve a lifelike little phoenix through the barrier made of thin wires, just the small rings connected together on the thin wires are enough to drive people crazy.

Because it is a food carving, the carrot itself is brittle, and the small rings are so small that once a ring is broken, the whole thread will be broken, so you must be very careful when carving each ring.People who can do this kind of prudence are definitely not ordinary people.

No, it's just a matter of carelessness. The diameter of these small rings is only one millimeter. Even without any conditions, it is already very difficult to carve such small rings with carrots. On this small pineapple, the same line Each ring is also nested with two adjacent rings, so when carving a ring, you must also ensure that you do not cut away the material that the adjacent ring will need.

To carve out such a shape without cutting off the small ring... This is simply, impossible to do!

There was not only shock but also disbelief in his eyes.

Not only this old man, the interviewees beside Ou Zizhou were shocked and speechless after seeing the mystery in the pineapple.

The people farther away couldn't see what the old man was holding, and they all stretched their necks, wanting to find out what it was that made the interviewer, who was full of contempt for Ou Zizhou just now, suddenly become silent.

The old man looked back and forth at the imprisoned phoenix inside for a long time, marveling in his heart, but couldn't believe it: "You carved this?"

He was asking Ou Zizhou, but he couldn't take his eyes off the little pineapple.

He couldn't believe that such a young person like Ou Zizhou could master such superb knife skills, it was completely unreasonable!

"Otherwise?" Ou Zizhou asked back, and at the same time put the base that was just processed back on the vegetable preparation table.

The original base was just a rectangular block with a hole dug in the middle. In just a few minutes, the rectangular block has become a small hand with three fingers pinched together, as if holding something on top of the fingers. The ring finger and The little finger curled up naturally in the palm.

The intricate lines on the palm and the folds formed by half-clenching the fist are clearly visible.

The man hastily and carefully covered the pineapple, then picked up the palm and looked at it carefully.

Due to material limitations, although this palm is several times smaller than an adult's palm, the palm texture is lifelike, and even the fingernails on the fingertips are clearly discernible, and the hand shape is beautiful, with slender and clean fingers.He looked down at Ou Zizhou's hand, and found that he really carved it according to his own hand.

Sculpting the hand was not difficult, but the scary thing was that he was sure it was just a long square just a few minutes ago!

"You...what's your name?" When the man looked at Ou Zizhou, his eyes could not hide his surprise.

"How did it work?" Ou Zizhou patted his clothes, and patted off the carrot crumbs standing on his body.

He asked again: "Are you Mr. Ma's younger brother?"

His tone was cautious and polite, as if he was not the one who scolded Ou Zizhou just now.

It turned out that the guy who ran away was the younger brother of Manager Ma's classmate. No wonder Ou Zizhou was thrown into this room when he told Manager Ma that he had contacted him yesterday.

Ou Zizhou thought it was funny, but he still explained his identity, saying that he was not here for the interview at all, and that it was a complete accident that he appeared in this room.

While explaining the situation, Ou Zizhou suddenly realized something...he came to find Manager Ma!

He was busy carving for a while, but he forgot the business.

Three hours have passed now, God knows if Manager Ma is still waiting for him!

He got up quickly, seeing that the old man couldn't put it down to the little pineapple, he nodded his head: "I'll leave that to you, I still have something to do, let's go first."

However, his arm was grabbed: "Wait, you have to leave your contact information first?"

Ou Zizhou turned his head and smiled: "What do you want my contact information of a social scum to do?"

"..." The man was speechless. He did say a lot of exaggerated words before seeing Ou Zizhou's level clearly. It's no wonder Ou Zizhou.

But he didn't want to give up easily. After all, Ou Zizhou's food sculpture level, even in the whole city, no, the whole country or even the whole world, it would be difficult to find another person with the same level.

Even if Ou Zizhou doesn't come to work in their hotel, he still hopes to exchange ideas with Ou Zizhou.

However, just as he was hesitating, Ou Zizhou had already turned and left the room.

He wanted to catch up and apologize, but he thought of his identity as the interviewer, so he had to give up.

what else can we do?He was the one who offended people first, and if it were him, he wouldn't give a good face to the person who scolded him for no reason.

only……

He couldn't help but sighed: "The younger generation is awesome, the younger generation is really awesome."

……

As soon as Ou Zizhou left the room, he called Manager Ma, who knew that Manager Ma thought he had released his pigeons and had already gone back.

Knowing that he had admitted to the wrong person and left Ou Zizhou in the back kitchen, Manager Ma quickly apologized to Ou Zizhou and said that he would go back to the hotel to find him immediately.

But what surprised him was that Ou Zizhou actually stayed in that room for three hours honestly.

"I remember they are recruiting carving masters, right? Do you know how to eat carvings?"

Ou Zizhou said vaguely, "Know a thing or two."

Ou Zizhou waited in the hotel cafe for about 20 minutes before Manager Ma hurried over.

Before he could sit down, Manager Ma hurriedly asked Ou Zizhou, "Young man, what do you do?"

Ou Zizhou knocked on the table twice: "Just graduated, unemployed."

Manager Ma laughed twice: "So you haven't found a job yet? Why don't you consider staying in our hotel..."

"No consideration." Ou Zizhou's tone was without room for negotiation.

Did he know what happened in the back kitchen so quickly?

Manager Ma didn't give up, and said with a straight face, "Young man, with your skills, your annual salary in our hotel should be at least this amount."

He holds out an index finger.

Ou Zizhou raised his eyebrows: "1000 million?"

"One, 1000 million?!" Manager Ma almost choked on his own saliva, "I said you don't know the industry situation at all, right? 100 million! The salary of stunt technicians who enjoy state subsidies is only 80! 1000 million, what do you think?"

"100 million? Not interested." Ou Zizhou said.

In fact, even if it is really 1000 million, he is not interested, let alone a mere million?

If he really wanted to make money, why did he choose to be a chef?

Seeing that he was so decisive, Manager Ma didn't continue the topic: "Okay, although I really hope you can become my colleague, I can't force you, can I? Then let's talk about the snack trademark... Listen Said that you are not related to those shops, and you are completely bored to take care of this matter?"

Manager Ma seems to be explaining the facts, but also seems to deliberately hurt Ou Zizhou.

Ou Zizhou smiled and did not retort: ​​"Yes, it's just boring."

"..." Manager Ma saw Ou Zizhou's stinky fart just now, and thought he would be irritated into a panic.Who would have thought that Ou Zizhou would admit it so frankly, but it seemed that Manager Ma was making fun of himself.

He waved his hand: "Okay, then tell me how you want to solve it. Let's choose a solution that is acceptable to both parties. However, I have to say something up front. We also spent a lot of money for this trademark. It is impossible to give up completely without reaping the benefits.”

Ou Zizhou said: "If you are unwilling to give up the famous snacks, then continue to develop your Tian Ci Pavilion, but don't interfere with the business of other snack chefs."

"It's not that we want to interfere with their business..." Manager Ma sighed, with exaggerated helplessness on his face, "Originally we didn't interfere with each other, and each went our own way. But you know, those who make snacks don't care about this kind of ancestral business. We are very proud of our recipes and other things. We invite them to work in our snack bar, and they ask for a sky-high salary. We found someone else, and they said that we are pirated and counterfeit. But the way of snacks is originally It’s not unique, even the same snack can be divided into multiple genres. But they don’t listen, and it’s fine if they don’t want to come to work with us, because I have sold snacks for a few years, I feel that what I make is unique in the world , and don’t allow others to do it! We can’t do anything about it, so we thought of a way to shut them up. Don’t feel sorry for them now because you didn’t see their arrogance before.”

After speaking, he shook his head, as if recalling some unpleasant memories.

Ou Zizhou knows that hotels must have difficulties, but for his own convenience, he uses this one-size-fits-all method to eliminate all competitors. I am afraid that it cannot be simply explained by "shut them up".

"Competition between restaurants should allow customers to make the final verdict. You are just one of the competitors, but relying on capital support, you regard yourself as a god, change the rules without authorization, and feel that you are a victim. You don't Do you think you are going too far?"

"Well, if we want to discuss the issue of who is the victim, I'm afraid we won't be able to discuss it for a day. Let's take a step back and reach mutually beneficial cooperation conditions. We can completely give up the monopoly of trademarks, but the corresponding , we also want to get a little compensation."

"compensate?"

"If you are willing to condescend to come to our hotel..."

Unexpectedly, he circled around and returned to the original point. Ou Zizhou thought that Manager Ma had really given up trying to persuade him to work in the hotel.

Seeing Ou Zizhou looking down, he seemed displeased, Manager Ma showed helplessness: "Let me tell you straight. Didn't you make a deal with Mr. Chen, and tell Mr. Chen how to upgrade the hotel without spending money if you want to solve this matter?" Mr. Chen forced me to think about it all night, and I didn't figure out how to do it without spending money, but I heard Sous Chef Lin's evaluation of you on the way here, hey, I suddenly understood."

Ou Zizhou raised his eyebrows in surprise and smiled.

Seeing Ou Zizhou smile, Manager Ma knew that his guess was close to ten: "Hey, it's pretty amazing that you, a young man, can think of using the charm of a single person to improve the evaluation of the entire hotel, but have you ever thought about it a little bit?" , it is very difficult to find the right person. Our chefs are all very good, but you say that you want to single out someone to be the spokesperson of the hotel's image, it seems almost meaningless. If you want to hire those who are well-known in the world As for the chefs in the company, heck, to be honest, even if we give a very high salary, people still look down on us. Really, they have a temper. So as far as I am concerned, I think, you just give us Coming up with a plan without giving us a specific candidate is not helping us solve the problem at all."

After Manager Ma finished speaking, he smiled foolishly, as if he was waiting for Ou Zizhou's reply.

Ou Zizhou couldn't laugh.

The horse manager obviously dug a hole for him to jump into.

Seeing that Ou Zizhou was silent, Manager Ma seemed not to notice his silence, and said to himself: "Your food carving skills are excellent, and your cooking skills should not be far behind. Not recognized by the mainstream. But you have a huge advantage, that is, you are young and handsome! Alas, I am not bragging. If you become our employees, at least a large group of female customers will spend money on your face. Of course, Relying on face is not the business model I imagined, but you not only have face, but also strength, even if you have a live broadcast of your food sculpture, it can be popular, right..."

Ou Zizhou watched Manager Ma talking to himself as he imagined the future blueprint of the hotel, without making a sound.

Manager Ma gestured to him several times, wanting to throw the conversation to him, but Ou Zizhou always pretended not to understand, looked at Manager Ma seriously, but refused to answer.

Manager Ma finally couldn't bear it anymore, stopped to stare at him for a few seconds, and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

"No." Ou Zizhou shook his head, "I think your thinking is very beautiful."

"Think, it's a good idea?" Manager Ma coughed a few times, and after recovering, he showed his signature helpless expression, "So you still want to reject me? Are you sure you don't want to continue negotiating terms? What can I give?" The conditions are absolutely so generous that you can't imagine."

"No, I can consider joining your hotel." Ou Zizhou said.

"We can discuss the conditions again. Personally, I don't want to lose a talent like you... Uh, wait, do you agree?" Manager Ma opened his eyes wide, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped his forehead sweat.

"Yes, I agree. After all, as you said, the current position of your hotel may not be appreciated by real top chefs, so the solution I gave cannot solve your problem. In exchange, I can join the job, but I There are also conditions." Ou Zizhou touched his chin as he spoke, as if he was thinking about what conditions he should put forward.

"Let's hear it." Manager Ma opened his eyes wide, seeming to be full of interest.

"My treatment..."

Before Ou Zizhou finished speaking, Manager Ma said first: "2000 million."

"..." It actually doubled twenty times.

Ou Zizhou was silent, but there was no surprise in his eyes, and he was still very calm: "No, since it is a transaction, I should take the risk myself. I want 10% of the year-on-year growth of next year's turnover as my salary. If the growth is negative, I will make up for the owed part."

"10% year-on-year growth?" Manager Ma stretched out his finger as if to calculate quickly, and said in shock, "Do you think the year-on-year growth in turnover can exceed 2 million?"

Ou Zizhou was noncommittal, and Manager Ma reminded him: "Do you have any idea about data? The annual turnover of five-star hotels in super first-tier cities is almost [-] million."

Ou Zizhou asked back: "If you think I don't have this value, you will spend 10% of the turnover to hire me?"

Manager Ma paused for a moment. He really felt that with the joining of Ouzizhou, the increase in turnover would be far more than 2 million. Therefore, a given price of 2000 million would be more economical than a 10% increase in turnover.

But he was able to guarantee this because he knew something that Ou Zizhou didn't know. He didn't expect that even so, Ou Zizhou would see through his thoughts.

With a guilty face, he whispered: "Our turnover is more than 2 million, and Chenyi's business is not limited to hotels and catering... But if you want 10%, just 10%, and we don't want it if it goes downhill. You know, winning or losing is a common matter for military strategists, we bear it ourselves."

"Okay, the salary has been negotiated, and I have other conditions." Ou Zizhou said.

"Tell me." Manager Ma nodded.

"Change Tian Ci Pavilion, which is your snack bar, into a snack shop model. You invite well-known snack shops in the city to settle in Tian Ci Pavilion. You use their own signs and shop facades, and their own income. You only charge shop rent and provide Services to keep stores open.”

Manager Ma opened his eyes wide in surprise: "The reason why we put so much effort into making wedding dresses for them?"

"Do you disagree?" Ou Zizhou asked.

Manager Ma glanced at Ou Zizhou, and immediately put on a flattering smile on his face: "Why? I think this model is very good. I didn't think of it earlier, as expected of you!"

"..." The corner of Ou Zizhou's mouth twitched, "There were only two points, but now I need to add a little more."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Manager Ma nodded repeatedly.

"Stop your exaggerated performances, I can't take it anymore."

"Ah?" Manager Ma was shocked, "Why do you say that?"

Ou Zizhou said quietly: "I'm not a tiger, so there's no need for you to pretend to be a pig. Since it's a transaction, both parties should be less routine and more sincere. Right, Mr. Ma?"

Manager Ma blinked his eyes twice, and suddenly his face relaxed, it was no longer the exaggerated expression of surprise, at this moment he was more like a scheming businessman.

He raised the corner of his mouth: "Oh, I think so. After all, I can even decide your salary, how can I be a small manager, right? But I really have no way to trick you, 2000 million is the biggest bet I can afford Yes, and the general manager is also the manager, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Ou Zizhou fell silent again.

Mr. Ma once again ignored his silence, and began to mutter: "You must know that it is not enough for me to convince you. I also have to convince the group of old men who contributed capital. It can be said that I have suffered from the enemy. Speaking of hiring you, I don't even have Kang Yuan." Said, if he doesn't stand on my side, I'm finished. Then again, I think he doesn't like you very much, what happened between you?"

Ou Zizhou was still silent, and Mr. Ma took his own words indifferently: "It's okay, he didn't like me at first, he said I was too creative. But the creator can make him money, what can he do? He doesn't like me anymore. I can only bear it. I suspect that he doesn't like you because you are too handsome and want to steal his money, what do you think?"

Ou Zizhou still looked at him silently.

Mr. Ma put on a cold ass again, and finally gave up the interaction with Ou Zizhou, and laughed twice: "So now we are grasshoppers on the same rope, let us have a happy cooperation, okay?"
