Chapter 394 Su Ji's Prospect Planning(1/2)

It is obvious that Chen Wei and Shi Jinbin have different ideas about the development of Su Ji.

Chen Wei agreed with Feng Yifan's proposal to his father-in-law Su Jinrong that there is no need to make Su Ji bigger, but insist on following the business route of high-quality private kitchens with its own characteristics.

Shi Jinbin's idea was different. He believed that Feng Yifan should take advantage of his youth, go out for more walks, go to some big hotels to experience it, and gain higher reputation step by step.

It is obvious that Shi Jinbin’s idea was the path he took at the beginning, and the path he once took by Mr. Su Quansheng.

Shi Jinbin even said directly in front of everyone: "As long as Yifan is willing, I can take him to the Red Maple Hotel."

It's a completely different thing to enter the Red Maple Hotel.

In the domestic cooking industry, the status of Hongfeng Hotel is absolutely extraordinary.

I don’t know how many well-known chefs in various places are even willing to enter the Red Maple Hotel as apprentices just to get a chance at the Red Maple Hotel.

There is even a private rumor in the cooking industry that entering the Red Maple Hotel is equivalent to a state banquet reserve.

In fact, this is true, except for the first state banquet that he participated with Mr. Su Quansheng.

In recent years, almost all the chef teams of state banquets in China have been selected from the Red Maple Hotel.

Even one year ago, international conferences were held in China and political leaders from all countries were needed to receive catering, and the catering was completely handed over to the top chef team of Hongfeng Hotel to fully manage it.

This is because Hongfeng Hotel has too many state banquet masters inherited.

On the other hand, it is also because the kitchen team of Hongfeng Hotel is indeed very powerful.

So Shi Jinbin said very directly: "As long as Yifan is willing, I will go back with me this time. I can let him enter the Red Maple Hotel without starting from the bottom of the kitchen."

Hearing Shi Jinbin say this, Zhuang Daozhong couldn't help but smile and said, "Jinbin, I didn't expect that someone like you would make an exception for Jinrong's son-in-law one day?"

Shi Jinbin was very calm and faced Zhuang Daozhong and said, "Uncle Master, you should be very clear that Yifan has the strength. He has mastered the essence of various dishes in Suji. He has also studied various cuisines in China, and even Western food."

Zhuang Daozhong nodded after hearing this: "This is nothing wrong. Yifan is the most versatile chef I have seen so far."

In fact, everyone agrees with this point, maybe in the eyes of these old people.

Feng Yifan may not be able to compare with some chefs who specialize in some of them, but he can do anything, which shows that his overall strength is very strong.

And in the kitchen, everyone knows very well that a certain specialty will never become a master.

Anyone who can be called a chef is the kind of chef who can truly be very versatile.

Just like the old man Su Ji who used to be Su Quansheng.

Perhaps many people would think that Su Quansheng is from Huaicheng and thinks he is a Huaiyang cuisine chef.

But in fact, in addition to Huaiyang cuisine, Su Quansheng also has some research on other domestic cuisines, so he was able to stand out among so many masters in the state banquet.

Later, he became the chef of the state banquet and was able to customize menus for different state banquets.

This is not just a specialization in a certain cuisine, but rather an understanding of the cooking techniques of various domestic and foreign cuisines.

Only when you need it can you arrange different menus at state banquets in a targeted manner.

Among Su Jinrong's generation, including Shi Jinbin, who entered the Red Maple Hotel, actually tended to specialize in a certain cuisine and was not able to easily control various dishes to cook.

So Shi Jinbin is very fond of Feng Yifan's point. He wants to help his master Su Ji and cultivate a master of cooking skills.

Shi Jinbin said to Su Jinrong seriously: "Jinrong, there are really some opportunities to seize. I can understand that you gave up the opportunity at the beginning, but now, you should not want your son-in-law to give up the opportunity again, right?"

Chen Wei said at this time: "Lao Shi, you should know that if Yifan went to the Red Maple Hotel, he might have to stay there for at least many years. So what should Su Ji do during such a time?"

This question stopped Shi Jinbin.

Su Ji is now supported by Feng Yifan.

And from the current business, Feng Yifan is indeed capable of making Su Ji's business better.

If Feng Yifan left Su Ji and went to Hongfeng Hotel, he would definitely have to stay in Hongfeng Hotel for many years.

Because even with the recommendation of Shi Jinbin, a large hotel like Hongfeng Hotel, which has many experts, must be seniority-oriented, and Feng Yifan will never get a high chance in a short period of time.

So Feng Yifan stayed in the Hongfeng Hotel for more than ten years and then participated in a state banquet or two more times.

So for such a long time, wouldn’t Su Ji only really have to close the door?

Mr. Su Quansheng did go north like this and made his own reputation, which in turn made Su Ji famous in Su Province.

But when the halo of that state banquet gradually fades away, Su Ji will gradually return to a normal one.

In the end, Su Ji became the current situation, just a small restaurant with heritage in Huaicheng. Even if Feng Yifan hadn't taken action again, Su Ji might not have known about it.

Chen Wei pointed out this problem directly: "If that is the case, when Yifan becomes truly famous and then turn back to manage Suji, Suji may have lost its due value, and may even be like his master back then. Once Yifan is gone, Suji will lose his reputation again."

After saying this, Chen Wei looked at Su Jinrong and said, "Jinrong, I'm not saying you did something wrong. In fact, the problem of Su Ji's decay is not you, it was caused by our brothers leaving that year."

Su Jinrong didn't care because he knew Chen Wei's meaning very well.

Su Ji said that he had hundreds of years of inheritance, but his true popularity was only his father's generation. It can even be said that Su Ji was famous because of his father's reputation.

Chen Wei didn't want Su Ji to take responsibility again, so he felt that Su Ji should be operated well and inherited.

"Many time-honored brands in China may eventually become gradually becoming immersed in sentient beings, or even gradually being forgotten by people, and eventually they can only withdraw from the stage of history.

In fact, there are all such problems. A very famous existence appeared in a certain generation and used his reputation to promote the time-honored brand. However, once he passed away, the time-honored brand may not be able to maintain that reputation. More of this is due to business problems."

Chen Wei looked at the uncle and two junior brothers present and said directly: "I think we should stick to the characteristics of Su Ji and make the sign of Su Ji so that others can know Su Ji. I think this is also a result that Master hopes to see after working hard for many years."

After hearing Chen Wei's words, Su Jinrong also became a little excited. He did not expect that the eldest brother would understand his father's wishes so well.

When I was sending my father away, Su Jinrong listened to his father's instructions with his own ears when he was in front of the bed.

At that time, my father's instructions to Su Jinrong were to keep Su Ji and let Su Ji inheritance continue.

It was also because of his father's instructions that Su Jinrong did not leave Su Ji later.

Although Su Jinrong failed to truly carry forward Su Ji and did not make Su Ji famous, at least Su Jinrong still kept Su Ji, which did not insult the old plaque.

After hearing Chen Wei's words, Shi Jinbin still didn't agree so much.

"If you said, simply managing Suji, I think it will not only take away Yifan's talent, but also take a long time to really manage Suji."

Speaking of this, Shi Jinbin paused for a moment, thought for a while and said, "And, in the end, Su Ji, which was run, will become a brand in others' hands. Because Yifan will still face the current dilemma when he grows old. How can we continue to maintain Su Ji's business?"

Chen Wei replied seriously: "It's very simple, accept disciples and take disciples, and let them continue to stick to and inherit the old plaque of Su Ji."

Shi Jinbin asked in surprise: "If that happens, will Su Ji fall into the hands of others in the end?"

Chen Wei shook his head and said, "Junior brother, why are you still restricted to this prejudice of the portal family until now?"

Before Shi Jinbin could speak, Chen Wei continued to ask: "I'll ask you, is the Tan family cooking now the Tan family?"

After being asked like this, Shi Jinbin was speechless.

Chen Wei looked at Su Jinrong again: "Jinrong, I am not saying that Su Ji must fall into the hands of others. I think there is really no need to care about the family opinion. As long as the essence of Su Ji can be passed on, it can be called Su Ji Cai. The future Su Ji will still be the current Su Ji.

This is also the advantage of running a private kitchen restaurant. That is, we specialize in Suji dishes. They do not belong to any cuisine or other genres, but only Suji is unique."

Chen Wei's remarks were very touching to Su Jinrong, and he also had similar ideas after this period.

Especially after his son-in-law Feng Yifan came back, he also told Su Jinrong about a similar plan.

Su Jinrong still agrees with this plan.

Because in this way, the uniqueness of Su Ji can be better maintained, and it is to truly be able to expose Su Ji's reputation, rather than simply making Su Ji's certain generation of people famous.

When Shi Jinbin saw Su Jinrong's appearance, he could have seen that he should agree with this plan more.

Zhuang Daozhong, who had not spoken at this time, said: "Actually, Chen Wei and Jin Bin's plans are feasible, but I think it can be combined with both."

The three brothers and brothers all looked at the uncle together, wanting to hear how the uncle said it is comprehensive?

Zhuang Daozhong continued: "Yifan is still young now and needs to see some things. He doesn't have to go to the Red Maple Hotel, but he can participate in some dishes promotion and increase his popularity."

After a pause, Zhuang Daozhong said again: "I also agree with Yifan's plan for Suji's business. It mainly focuses on private kitchens and small restaurants. It is necessary to make fine dishes, which belongs to Suji's fine dishes. There is no need to make Suji into a big hotel. Maintaining this exquisiteness, Suji should be able to develop better."

After hearing what Uncle Master said, Shi Jinbin thought for a while and said, "Uncle Master, did you say that you want Yifan to participate in this Chinese cuisine cooking competition?"

Zhuang Daozhong shook his head: "No, Yifan doesn't have to participate in that competition. Yifan's strength is a bit bullying others. I think that this time Chinese cuisine is an opportunity. I think Yifan should restore a banquet menu that belongs to Suji and represent Suji to participate in the menu competition for Chinese cuisine."

These words made Chen Wei and Shi Jinbin stunned, and even an incredible expression appeared on their faces.

Because of the two brothers, I have never heard of Su Ji having his own banquet menu.

So I really feel a little strange about the restoration banquet menu mentioned by Uncle Master?

Seeing that the two of them were very strange, Zhuang Daozhong looked at Su Jinrong on the side, and with Su Jinrong nodding in agreement, he told the existence of "Su Zaoyan".

After listening to the introduction of Uncle Master, Chen Wei and Shi Jinbin were really even more surprised.

Su Zaoyan, this is really the first time that the two of them have heard of.

Shi Jinbin looked at Su Jinrong and asked, "Is Su Ji really such a banquet?"

Su Jinrong nodded: "Yes, once, there were, now, only menu names, no recipes."

Chen Wei looked a little ugly and said, "If this is the case, it is probably not that easy to recover the banquet."

Zhuang Daozhong nodded: "It's not easy, but fortunately, the time is still good. The selection of Chinese cuisine banquets will take at least one year of their own screening, and it may take longer to finalize it."

Shi Jinbin thought for a while and said, "If this is the case, then there will be plenty of time left for Yifan."

Chen Wei was still a little worried: "But even so, it seems not easy to restore a banquet with only one name, right?"
