Chapter 33 The Importance of Su Ji
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Su Lanxin quickly adjusted and thought of the corresponding words.
Su Lanxin Catering Group has been entering the domestic market in recent years. She has seen a lot of such things, so she also has rich experience in dealing with them.
Su Lanxin had a smile on her face, looking at the person who spoke and the other people with him, keeping her spoke gracefully.
"What you mean is that after the old street is renovated, we must maintain the current appearance? Moreover, the existing shops on the old street must be retained? Even after the renovation, we must move back, right?"
The other party's spokesperson nodded seriously: "Yes, this is what we expect. After all, the ancient street of Huaicheng is a historical symbol of our Huaicheng."
At the same time, another person also said: "And the shops on the old street are also the most distinctive snacks in Huaicheng, so we hope to keep them as the food culture window for Huaicheng to the world."
Su Lanxin smiled and said, "If I want to preserve the original appearance of the old street and present that historical symbol, I can understand it.
But you said that keeping those shops on the old streets is a symbol of global food culture, I am afraid I cannot agree with this.
Because most of the things sold in the shops on that old street are actually very common in many places, such as barbecue, spicy hot pot, and some fried dough sticks and soy milk. These will be seen in the streets and alleys of any city, right?"
Speaking of this, Su Lanxin paused for a tactical moment, keenly captured the other party's expression, and then continued to say with a smile.
"If these are used to represent the food culture of Huaicheng, how can we reflect the characteristics of Huaicheng?
Our catering group has a very professional Huaicheng Benbang cuisine catering system, so I think that only by teaching the renovated old street to our group can we create the most standardized Huaicheng specialty food and cultural block."
After hearing Su Lanxin's words, the people present who came to negotiate looked at each other, as if they were a little confused for a moment.
Su Lanxin did not give the other party a chance to discuss, and then introduced her birth.
"Maybe you think that my son and I led the company back from abroad would think that I was just a returning overseas person, but in fact I actually grew up in this Huaicheng.
It can be said that I have a lot of affection for every tree and every tree in Huaicheng, especially the old street I am also very familiar with.
Because it used to be my home."
Su Lanxin's words surprised everyone on the other side. The person who was the speaker spoke in surprise and asked: "Ms. Su, did you also grow up on the ancient street of Huaicheng?"
Su Lanxin nodded seriously: "Yes, I wonder if you all know that there is a restaurant called "Su Ji Xiaoguan" on the old street?"
The people opposite looked at each other again, and soon some of them remembered it.
"I know, Suji Restaurant is a time-honored brand. It is said that the descendants of the restaurants have all masters who have attended state banquets. Now, which generation should be here?"
Su Lanxin smiled and said, "It's the sixth generation now, but the current successor is actually not qualified to inherit Su Ji."
The people on the other side were a little confused, and some people thought that Su Lanxin was also named "Su", and they couldn't help but feel that there should be a story in it.
Su Lanxin did not say in detail, but just showed a slightly bitter smile and said, "This was originally my family matter, so I don't want to say more here.
I can only say that my father passed on Su Ji to my brother because of the traditional concept of favoring boys over girls. However, my brother was unable to inherit the glory of the previous five generations of Su Ji.
And the true inheritance of Suji cuisine is actually the characteristic of Chinese restaurants under our group in my place.”
The person on the other side was shocked again, but he did not expect that there was such a hidden story in it.
Since Su Ji is now unknown, the sixth generation of the slaughterman has never heard of participating in the state banquet, so everyone naturally trusts Su Lanxin's words a lot.
Su Liancheng, who was sitting next to Su Lanxin, saw that the person opposite him had already trusted his mother's words, and he also admired his mother very much.
As an insider, Su Liancheng naturally understood the truth and falsehood of his mother's words just now.
However, when it comes to Su Ji Cai's inheritance, Su Liancheng also feels that the true essence of inheritance is in his own home.
After all, Su Liancheng's father was the eldest disciple of Su Ji's fifth generation master, and he was the only disciple who had followed Su Liancheng to play at the state banquet when he had never met his grandfather to attend the state banquet.
Among the most well-known chain restaurants under Su Lanxin, among which the Chinese restaurants are dishes learned from Su Liancheng's father as the main dish.
The people on the other side gathered together for a brief discussion, and the spokesperson said: "Ms. Su, if you can cooperate with Su Ji and have the old brand of Su Ji, then the catering of the renovated food street can be left to your group for responsibility."
After hearing the other party's words, Su Lanxin frowned slightly, but soon stretched out again, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I will discuss with my brother, and I believe he will also hope that Su Ji will be revitalized."
Another old man opposite said, "Yes, we must support it with a heritage brand like Su Ji.
I hope Ms. Su, you can give up your past grudges with your brother. Your family can work together to introduce our Huaicheng specialty Huaiyang cuisine to the world."
When Su Liancheng heard the other party say this, he finally understood why his mother had to retake the old brand "Su Ji".
From the words of the people in charge of the renovation of old streets on the opposite side, they can clearly feel their importance to a time-honored brand like Su Ji.
Compared with the past few years, many hardware facilities have appeared very luxurious, but the dishes are not that solid. There are a bunch of large restaurants that are actually flashy under the banner of traditional Huaiyang cuisine.
A time-honored brand like Su Ji who seems to be hidden in the market and has solid foundation is the national brand that China needs today.
Therefore, if Su Lanxin’s catering group wants to truly gain a foothold in China, gain support, and then re-promote it overseas, the old plaque "Su Ji" looks really important now.
The negotiations went smoothly. Although the other party did not agree to hand over all the food street catering to Su Lanxin's group after the reconstruction, the project of the old street reconstruction was decided to hand over to Su Lanxin's company for the reorganization.
After all, Su Lanxin’s conditions are indeed very good, and the engineering company Su Lanxin cooperates with is also a first-class company at home and abroad.
As for the renovated food street catering project, it may still be necessary to continue negotiations.
Su Liancheng knew very well that the key to the subsequent negotiations should be the ownership of the old plaque of Su Ji.
However, because of his mother's request, Su Liancheng had no chance to contact him. After the meeting, he had to rush to Fujinglou obediently to start the group's acquisition of Fujinglou.
The meeting in the morning took a long time, which led to Su Liancheng not having lunch when he left the hotel for a trip.
The assistant who followed Su Liancheng asked after departure: "Mr. Xiao Su, should you notify Fu Jinglou to arrange lunch?"
After being reminded by the assistant, Su Lianchengcai thought back from the family affairs, and at this time he felt "hungry". Just as he was about to agree to the assistant's suggestion, he took a look at the driving route of the car, and suddenly he had another idea.
"No, let's go to the ancient street of Huaicheng, and let's have lunch there."
