City People [Rebirth]

On Tomb-sweeping Day, the Lu family had the habit of going out for a spring outing together, but because there were two new babies this year, they didn't go out to play during the Tomb-sweeping day holiday, and they all came to see the baby.

Lu Mu is six years old this year, and Lu Wenlin and Du Zhixuan feel that it hasn't been long since they took care of her as a baby, so they didn't have the violent enthusiasm for this grandchild like ordinary grandparents, and they can barely maintain the usual Heart, not three times a day - they just come once a day.

The two lived so close together, after dinner, the Lu family went out for a walk to digest food, so they just happened to stroll to Lu Jia's house, come to see the baby, replace Lu Jia and Zhou Heyi, and let them go about their own business.

Nanny: I seem to be getting more and more useless, but I won't feel guilty when I get paid.

During the Ching Ming Festival, everyone simply came to Lu Jia's place.It's a bit of a holiday to spend at home together... Anyway, it's just an excuse, so don't worry about such trivial things.

The nanny is working in the living room, waiting to be called at any time, and the others are sitting in the living room, watching the baby's sleeping face while chatting.Lu Jia and Zhou Heyi went to work in the study.

Lu Mu wanted to ask Lu Jia if she could bring Du Du to see her nephew and niece, but thinking that her two older brothers were both working in the study, she had no choice but to keep the question to herself.

……

The study room in the new home is extraordinarily large, with two rooms connecting to accommodate two people working.After all, it is a study room. There are many books here, most of which are collected by Zhou Heyi, and Lu Jia's books account for a part.The bookcase extends directly from one end of the wall to the other. The room faces south, and the desks of the two of them happen to be near the window.

Originally, Lu Jia thought about whether to have a study room for each person and work separately, but Zhou Heyi felt that there was no need to be so divided, because they couldn't work without others.Furthermore, if both of them are busy with work during the day and work separately when they come back at night, there will be too little time to spend together. It’s not like working in a study, supervising each other’s rest, and being able to see each other when you look up, so feel at ease.

At this moment, they are at one end of the other, all typing in front of the computer.

Lu Jia is reviewing the project plan of the pizza self-service shop. This plan was given to him by Li Moli a week ago. The sub-brand is named "Yummy Duo Pizza Buffet", which is the same as "I'm Hungry" in the nature of fast food. The price is medium, so the name is catchy.Yummy Duo is a sub-brand of Jijia Catering. The relevant procedures have been completed. The company has already made the opening regulations and promotion plan. This is what Lu Jia is looking at at the moment.

When Lu Jia saw that the opening date was scheduled for July [-], three months later, he couldn't help but frowned, and went to the cubicle next to him to call Li Moli.This cubicle is a soundproof cubicle, preventing two people from disturbing each other when talking on the phone.

"Jasmine, is Sun He still unwilling to make a public recipe?"

"Yes, the bid has reached 100 million, and he promised not to dismiss for 20 years, but he still refuses to sell, and only promises to provide us with ingredients regularly."

Lu Jia pondered for a moment: "Postpone the opening and find a pizza chef again."

Li Moli: "But the plan has already been made, and it is very difficult to find such an excellent chef again."

"We couldn't afford to risk him having an accident. I've never wanted our kitchen to be tied down to one chef, and that doesn't fit with our philosophy of standardizing procedures on the assembly line."

"Okay, I see." Li Moli agreed.

Lu Jia sat back, thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.

The chef team of Yummy Pizza Buffet was formed very smoothly at first.In addition to pizza, the buffet mainly consists of Western-style fried food, snacks, small cakes and some Chinese dishes. Most of them are Western-style. As long as these foods have the right recipe, it is difficult to taste bad. There is already a set of standard methods. So when recruiting chefs in this area, it is easy to recruit.

Lu Jia also went to many western-style buffet restaurants on purpose. It turns out that the taste of most of the food is not too obvious, that is, the problem of taste. The real main dish is the main dish of the restaurant. Most of the delicious food is a special buffet, such as There are grilled fish buffet, barbecue buffet, steak buffet and other special buffets. What can really attract customers depends on this special main dish.

The unit price of pizza is not cheap. It is certainly a good deal to eat all you can eat, but if the taste of this pizza is the same as the frozen pizza sold in the supermarket, then it is really boring.

Now most of the management team of Yummy Duo are temporarily borrowed from the hungry team, and Li Moli leads the team.In order to find a suitable pizza chef, she lost her leg some time ago, and wanted to poach a famous one directly from a well-known western restaurant. Later, she was introduced to the chef Sun He who had just returned from a famous foreign pizza restaurant.Sun He is 43 this year and has been studying Western food abroad. He decided to return to China because his old father passed away. He was sad and decided to come back to develop and take care of his mother.

Sun He has traveled to many western restaurants abroad, and he has excellent pizza craftsmanship. From making pizza bases to pizza fillings, he has his own secret recipes.When Li Moli came into contact with Sun He, she also mentioned her own conditions and requirements, that is, Sun He's formula must be made public, and it can be registered as a patent, and then signed a long-term authorization contract, or it can be made by delicious food. Buying out at a high price, in short, it is delicious to use the central kitchen assembly line to make pizza, rather than having a certain chef control the recipe.

No matter which way it is, Lu Jia is behind the delicious food, and there is no shortage of money. Whether it is a buyout or authorization, you can bid to satisfy Sun He. Of course, you can't be taken advantage of in vain. He usually does not have to work in the delicious kitchen, but goes to the experimental kitchen to study pizza cooking in depth like Zhang An, and constantly develop new products. , so the recipe directly belongs to Sun He.

You can get a large sum of money first, and usually research new products leisurely, without spending a lot of time doing repetitive and tedious work. Li Moli thinks that the conditions are good, and Sun He also expressed her willingness to contact and continue to talk in the early stage. However, just last month, Sun He let go of his mouth again, vaguely expressing his consent, but he was still entangled in the details of the contract.

Li Moli believed that signing Sun He was a sure thing, so she decided on the opening plan early on. Although the shopping mall was owned by Zhou Heyi, the rent was given at a discounted price, but it was all renovated, and the sooner it opened, the sooner it would pay back. ——In the end, she was cheated by Sun He.

Sun He suddenly repented, saying that he could add Yummy, but neither the formula nor the authorization would be sold.

Li Moli just told Lu Jia about this yesterday, and the scheduled opening time is less than three months away.Li Moli had contacted some chefs before, but after Sun He hinted vaguely, Li Moli stopped contacting and concentrated on negotiating with Sun He.In three months, can you find another suitable chef?

This kind of thing is hard to say, and the reason why Lu Jia wants to postpone the opening time is just to beat Li Moli.

This time she did not do well.Li Moli was Li Jiajun's secretary in the beginning, and she majored in business administration. After Li Jiajun came to Lu Li's company, Li Moli took Li Jiajun's position and did a good job, but Lu Jia ignored it. It was because she was hungry. Benign, thanks to the strict rules and regulations, there has never been any complaints from customers or detection of quality problems, strict internal management, good greetings outside, no obstacles, and no malicious competition, Li Moli Without experience, you can't see anything at ordinary times. At critical moments, such as now, you can come out, but you still have too little experience.

The contact between Li Moli and Sun He had only been reported to Lu Jia, and Lu Jia didn't know the details, but through Li Moli's report, he knew that this person was not authentic, he was obviously up for grabs, and forced to force the palace.First, she pretended to be in touch, so that Li Moli would not contact other chefs, and then she pretended to agree, and asked Li Moli to set the opening date.The opening of the business is a big event, and you have to prepare for it several months in advance. If there is any change in the middle, many things will be wasted. At this time, Sun He suddenly changed his mind, just to force Li Moli to agree to his approach. I guess he is very eloquent. Otherwise, how could Li Moli look like she was being persuaded.

It seems that although Li Moli has been controlling her hunger, she still doesn't understand what Lu Jia wants.What Lu Jia does is not high-end catering, and what he wants is not a chef with amazing talents.Talent should have a temper. It is right for the boss to beg the chef, but Lu Jia is not doing high-end catering. , buffets mainly developed in third-tier and county towns, what do you need them for?If you have nothing to do when you have nothing to do, do you have to invite the chef to beg for it?

Because the price is not high, Lu Jia wanted it to be unique and attractive enough, so he set up such a talent introduction plan by purchasing or authorizing the formula. In the early stage, he bought the formula at a large price, and the buffet gained a foothold. ground, and then recover the formula cost through operation.Putting the formula here is also an intangible asset, and it will not suffer, not to mention a chef who will continue to develop new products. In this way, there are chefs and assembly line production, which is the best of both worlds.

Lu Jia didn't intend to deceive the chef to come in. It is very attractive that he can independently develop such a condition without having to do repetitive work during the meal time. So when Li Moli went to contact the chef, she also met a few interested chefs. The job-hopping chef was just messed up by Sun He, which abruptly delayed the time, which made Lu Jia unhappy.

Why bother, the conditions are all stated at the beginning, you know it clearly, but you feel that the delicious food can't delay the time, and you want to force the delicious food to agree to your conditions. Out.

Lu Jia opened the chat window with Jin San and asked him to find out what happened to Sun He.

After Jin San heard it, he complained, "Have I become your royal paparazzi? After you find out about this, what are you doing? Are you taking revenge on him?"
