Chapter 217 Before the Finals
After breakfast, Luo Chen, Xu Zimeng and He Zhixiong took a bus to "Shengtian International".
Passing through several street intersections and squares, the "Food Contest Final" is being promoted on the big screen, and large photos and brief information of the four contestants who were shortlisted for the finals are played.
Four contestants appeared on the big screen in chef's outfits one by one, all of which looked very imposing, no less than those international celebrities.
He Zhixiong smiled and said, "Look at it, we are the most pleasing to the eye among the four. We will definitely win this time!"
Luo Chen said: "Zi Meng is going to participate in a cooking competition, not a beauty pageant, but a skill is not a good look. Of course, Zi Meng is definitely the first in cooking, so there is nothing to say."
Both of them wanted to cheer up Xu Zimeng, and Xu Zimeng sat silently next to the car window, still embarrassed by the fact that He Zhixiong had knocked him out of sleeping with Luo Chen for the whole night this morning.
...
...
Eight o'clock.
There is still some time before the finals begin, but the gate of Shengtian International Hotel Convention and Exhibition Center has become lively.
The red carpet, colorful balls and flowers have been laid out long ago, exaggerating the atmosphere of this grand event.
Although the competition was sponsored by a private enterprise, the company is strong and the invited people are extraordinary. There are foreign guests. All sectors of Xiangjiang attach great importance to it, especially the Xiangjiang Special Administrative Region Government, which dispatched some police forces and activated a very high security level.
A large number of reporters and internet celebrity anchors are present, and this final is destined to spread through live broadcasts, recorded broadcasts, fast reporting, in-depth reporting and other forms.
The organizer has made sufficient publicity and successfully built up momentum. He adopted hunger marketing, that is, the preliminary round, and the rematch process is not open to the public, and it is only open to promote it in the final round.
This final is very popular, and will be paid attention to all over Xiangjiang, even China and some countries and regions.
Li Jiahui, chairman of Xiangjiang Dashi Group, personally led twelve etiquette ladies wearing blue and white porcelain cheongsams with high skirts, heavy makeup on their faces, and colorfully dressed up, listed a welcoming ceremonial guard at the gate.
He smiled and came and saw him off, but he obviously had a bit of a strong desire to be motivated. He was troubled by Bao Yongwen's affairs yesterday. Fortunately, they calmed down and did not ask for compensation for medical expenses. It was his own intention to compensate him as the hotel party. Today is the most important thing, I hope there will be no trouble.
As time goes by, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Rolls-Royce, Bentley... luxury cars are coming one after another.
Rich and wealthy businessmen from Xiangjiang, Aomen, mainland China and surrounding countries and regions also got out of their cars.
This is no longer a simple cooking competition, but has obviously become a social platform for the rich and elites.
Li Jiahui came forward to greet him. He held the event, first to determine the position of Dashi Dai's leader in the catering industry in the Xiangjiang River, and second to use the competition platform to find opportunities for cooperation with all the bigwigs.
And those etiquette ladies even pose and throw their eyes around.
Look at those owners who drive luxury cars worth hundreds of thousands or millions of yuan, they must have a lot of money. If someone accidentally falls in love with them, the worst ones will not have to show up here in public and stand at the gate.
Although the etiquette ladies have a bit realistic mind, they are not wrong.
Men conquer women by conquering the world, but women conquer the world by conquering the men.
All kinds of local tyrants and celebrities arrived one after another.
An Audi A6l drove over and got off the bus was the director of the Xiangjiang Food and Health Bureau. The deputy director Bao Yongwen was in trouble, and the director took the lead.
When the director was sent into the venue, he drove another black Mercedes-Benz. The style was a bit old and looked very low-key. Most of the etiquette ladies didn't take it seriously. This "classic car" is nothing compared to other luxury cars.
But Lai Jiahui's expression changed and his smile became stronger. He quickly walked forward and opened the door himself.
He knew who was coming when he saw this model and license plate.
This is the car of the "Xiangjiang God of Food" Cai Yue and Cai.
Cai Yue, who was wearing a childish face and dressed in Tang suit, got off the car, leaning on a wooden cane made of chicken wings in one hand and playing with three iron walnuts in the other. Although she had a kind smile, she had a strong aura.
Li Jiahui hurriedly said, "Old Cai, I blamed me for what happened yesterday. I was not careful about it and handled it improperly. You can still be there today. It is because I have a lot of adults. I have great support for Xiao Li!"
He was talking about Cai Yue taking the initiative to avoid suspicion and giving up his identity as a judge because of Xu Zimeng. Although this has little to do with him, he always feels sorry for Mr. Cai.
Mr. Cai understood what he meant, waved his hand and smiled, "Stop talking about those things, I can be a judge, I can still be a guest. As long as I have the opportunity to witness the growth of the younger generation of restaurants with my own eyes, I think it's OK."
At this time, a champagne-colored Aston Martin drove to the left of the gate.
When the car appeared, the etiquette ladies all turned to the other side and couldn't help but emit light, because they were knowledgeable and knew very well that this was a supercar worth more than 10 million yuan. If you don't have money, don't even think about touching it. If you touch a piece of paint, you will have to pay tens of thousands or tens of thousands.
When they saw the man driving, the smiles on the women's faces became even brighter, because this car is not only the most expensive and best among all luxury cars so far, but also the youngest man driving. He is not only fashionable in appearance, but also handsome and handsome.
The girls were even more struggling to show off, hoping to hook up with such a young and rich handsome man, even if it was just a cannon, Fengliu.
Therefore, before Lai Jiahui could speak, the etiquette ladies had already actively welcomed him.
This made Li Jiahui feel a little confused. I haven't sent Mr. Cai in yet, you...
But he also knew who was sitting in Aston Martin and could not afford to neglect, so he quickly sued Cai Yue and prepared to come over and greet him.
However, Aston Martin has already been driven over and the exhaust pipe is very loud.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom-
Some people find this sound very harsh, but to some people, it seems that the most urging music, such as those etiquette ladies, are already full of faces and redness.
Aston Martin drove straight to the back of the old Mercedes-Benz without slowing down, and rushed to the back of the car just a dozen centimeters away, almost kissing the front of the car on the buttocks of the car.
Then Aston Martin honked four or five times, as if he was angry that the Mercedes-Benz was blocking his way.
However, the entrance of the hotel exhibition center is very spacious and can accommodate three cars in parallel.
Everyone thought to themselves that people who drive super luxury cars are really domineering, as if all the roads are from his home.
The man on Aston Martin came down. He was a man in a brand-name suit. The man came down from the passenger seat. He was dressed well and had to spend tens of thousands of dollars on his body, but he was wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, covering most of his face.
The man in the suit threw the car keys to the concierge and said without looking at the person: "Parking, be careful when parking. If it hits, it will not be enough to sell it."
The concierge is solemn.
The etiquette ladies are even more radiant in their eyes, so handsome!
Li Jiahui quickly stepped forward and greeted enthusiastically: "Young Master Shi is here, and you will be welcomed by mistake. I will forgive you for your crimes!"
The man with a greasy suit in Aston Martin is Shi Zhenxiang, the son of the Shi family.
He glanced at Li Jiahui and said casually: "Oh, Mr. Li."
He has a cold attitude. In his opinion, although Li Jiahui's business is doing well, his background is not good. At most, he just opens a restaurant and cannot catch his eyes.
So he ignored Li Jiahui's hand, walked directly past him, walked to Cai Yue, and said with a smile: "Old Cai, are you here too? Is this your car? Oh, sorry, sorry, I didn't see it just now, why are you riding an old car? If I asked me, this kind of 'classic car' should have been eliminated! If Mr. Cai, if you are reluctant to change it, then I will ask someone to send you a new car to you another day, to ensure it is cool and fashionable, and you will look young and energetic when you sit?"
Cai Yue waved his hand and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness. But I'm used to sitting in an old car, so I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to any fashionable and cool new car."
Shi Zhenxiang laughed: "It's really like this day, I can't even give gifts to others..."
The etiquette ladies next to me were so anxious. Old man didn’t want it, you can give it to me!
But they can only be anxious.
Shi Zhenxiang said again: "Oh, Mr. Cai, you are a food expert. What do you think of this food competition? Who do you think is the most likely to win the championship?"
What Cai Yue personally looks forward to is Xu Zimeng, but he will not say it directly. After all, the identity of a "foodie" is there, and he doesn't want his own words to be used by others to make a fuss.
He just said perfunctorily: "Well, the four players who entered the finals are all very capable."
Shi Zhenxiang said: "I bet on that day of the Japanese chef, Juro Sanada. I plan to invest 25 million to Hong Kong to open a hotel or restaurant. What does Mr. Cai think? Please help me with the staff?"
Cai Yue asked: "Oh? Is Epic Wealth planning to enter the catering industry?"
Shi Zhenxiang waved his hand and said, "It's not about epic wealth, it's my own business."
Cai Yue laughed and said, "It should be possible to give it a try... My old man is slow, so he went in first, and Mr. Shi took his time."
After saying that, he walked in with a cane.
Shi Zhenxiang wrinkled, what does this mean? Can’t Old Man Cai see that investing in a Michelin three-star chef is a business that is reliable and profitable?
As long as Sanada Juro wins the final championship of the food competition, even if he steps into the Hong Kong food circle with half his foot and spends money to open the way, he can become a disruptor in the Hong Kong food circle. If Epic Wealth does not do catering, then do it yourself; Epic Wealth does not dare to compete with Cai Yue and Dashi, then grab it yourself, afraid of a bird?!
At that time, let the father who has always looked down on him see his abilities!
You think I will never be able to eat, drink, play, and play, but I want to tell you that eating, drinking, and play can make a name for you!
I will take over the catering industry that you dare not get involved in!
Chapter completed!
