The first thousand two hundred and fifty-eight chapters Hong Kong is the most expensive
The little superman deliberately slowed down and waited for Liu to get on the car with a cane before pulling Yang Cheng into the door and entering the private room.
When passing by the lobby, Yang Cheng took a brief look. The decoration in the store is in the classic style of Xiangjiang, decorated in brown, gold and emerald green as the main colors. This is a style that was more popular in the 1960s. Its glass cabinet displays Cantonese cuisine and top-quality champagne and brandy bottles. The golden light shines on it, making it very noble.
After entering the box, the waiter brought the menu as fast as possible. In addition to fixed banquet dishes, Xiao Superman also prepared to order a few special dishes. "Old fire soup must be given, charcoal roast pork, and another case of crab cream stewed shark fin, and the rest should be followed on the banquet menu."
After the waiter wrote it down, he quickly left the box, which is also one of the characteristics of Fulinmen’s service. If it is not necessary, the waiter will never appear in the sight of the guests for too long.
Yang Cheng didn't say anything. His impression of Fulinmen was still in his childhood, and it was no longer so profound. However, looking at the simple and expensive menu, it slowly evoked some memories.
Compared with other high-end restaurants, the menu name that looks extremely luxurious, Fulinmen's menu is very simple, which looks similar to home-cooked dishes, but the premise is that even though the price is below, just take a few dishes ordered by Xiao Chaoren, and a portion of crab cream shark fin costs as high as $200. Even the most common appetizer, charcoal roast pork, costs $37. Even Liu Yifei, who is used to the world, was shocked and kept saying it was too expensive in Yang Cheng's ear.
Yang Cheng doesn’t care. The money is too easy today, and it doesn’t hurt to spend it, not to mention that this meal can’t even cost a fraction.
"I haven't been to the place for a long time, I'm really looking forward to it~" Xiao Superman said after taking a sip of tea.
"I remember when I was a few years old last time. I can't remember the smell anyway." Yang Cheng sighed.
"Speaking of this, Fulinmen has been established for almost 70 years, and such a time-honored brand is becoming increasingly rare in Xiangjiang."
Yang Cheng nodded in agreement, "What is rare is that the taste and service are consistent."
"Yes, but the end of your anger is almost over."
Xiao Superman burst out some information, and Yang Cheng said in surprise, "What's wrong?"
"Ah~ Family internal strife."
Yang Chengran was silent. This kind of thing is not uncommon all over the world, let alone Xiangjiang, which attaches great importance to family heritage.
"It's a pity that Mr. Xu's painstaking efforts. After Mr. Xu Fu passed away, he left the restaurant to his two sons, Lao Wu and Lao Qi, two sons, one in charge of finance and the other in charge of the kitchen. The cooperation complemented each other. To be fair, it was inseparable from the cooperation of Lao Wu and Lao Qi.
However, in recent years, due to the differences in business philosophy, the two brothers have conflicts, one intends to expand, and the other is unwilling to do so."
Yang Cheng can probably guess the idea of those who want to expand, because the profits of a restaurant are limited even if it is at its best. A top restaurant like Fulinmen can sustain tens of millions of profits a year, but like the domestic chain hotpot restaurant, Haidi, nowadays, you can earn more than one billion yuan every year, and anyone else will be jealous.
Having said that, if the restaurant expands rapidly, it will definitely affect the quality of Fulinmen's dishes, because most of the employees of Fulinmen have worked here for more than ten years. The experience and technology of Chinese chefs cannot be copied quickly. The quality of dishes has declined, so it will only take one or two days to destroy the brand accumulated over 70 years.
"In the end, the two brothers went to court to grab the blessings.
The lawsuit lasted for three years, and the fifth brother defeated the seventh brother and won the Fulinmen.”
Yang Cheng's disdain was beyond words, "The person who wants to expand must be this old fifth~"
"How do you know?" The little superman was surprised.
You know that you guessed it right when you look at his expression. Yang Cheng shrugged slightly, "It's very simple. Lao Wu understands finance and must have received high-quality education or worked in a financial company. He knows and understands the routine of capital operation and knows the value of his own brand. If he puts it in the capital market, he will definitely make a big move. To put it bluntly, he wants to make more money."
The little superman smiled, "You guessed it most of the time, but it is not Lao Wu who knows how to operate capital, but Lao Wu's son. This kid studied abroad for a few years. After returning, he joined a fund company. He thought he had learned about the world, so he instigated his father Lao Wu to compete for his ancestral business and then expand to make money.
I heard that Lao Wu's son found other consortiums, a catering group listed on the GEM, and bought the shares in Lao Qi at a high price.
At present, the fifth son of the old man is preparing to copy Fulinmen in the mainland to make money, and he is also preparing to remove the word Fu from the signboard. Now many old customers of the fifth son are dissatisfied with the fifth son and complain. It is said that several old customers are preparing to join forces to acquire Fulinmen to stop the expansion plan and retain the original Fulinmen."
Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "Big Old Liu must be one of them."
The little superman spread his hands, "It's obvious that you guessed it right again. My father wanted to get it, but when he heard that Old Liu was about to buy it, his father gave up. That guy is a lice, and he can't get rid of it once it gets touched."
Fulinmen's grasp of the serving time is almost perfect, it runs like a machine, and the time between each dish is very good.
When Yang Cheng and the others were talking, waiters came in to serve appetizers, which went from cool to hot. Whenever they took a few bites, they put down their chopsticks, someone would send the next dish in, which not only ensured the guests' fun of eating, but also did not make people feel tired. It is indeed a 70-year-old brand, and this kind of grasp of details is worth learning from every restaurant.
After tasting the old hot soup that Fulinmen is best known for, Yang Cheng put down the soup spoon and sighed, "I haven't eaten it for a long time so good~"
The little superman still didn't put down his chopsticks, "Try it more. Once Liu failed to acquire it, the quality of Fulinmen will be worrying in the future."
Yang Cheng nodded, "In fact, there are many time-honored restaurants like Xiangjiang, but there are very few that are as famous as Fulinmen, and are loved by so many rich people at the same time."
"It's rare that after eating for so many years, no one feels tired of it~" Xiao Superman added.
At this time, the door of the box was knocked. She thought there was still food to go, so Yang Cheng called in. Unexpectedly, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie came in. He looked younger than Xiao Superman, older than Yang Cheng, and had a slight smile on his face with gold-rimmed glasses. He was probably a financial elite in a mixed investment bank.
