Chapter 93 Private Chef Invitation

"Master, what do you call me?"

"My surname is Wu, and my last name is Thai."

"Master Wu, will you live a long life this year?"

"After this year, I will be 60 years old."

"Just from the appearance, Master Wu doesn't look like someone in his [-]s."

……

Under Tang Yuan's wishes, the middle-aged man invited his father out of the kitchen. The old man was wearing a plain white apron and his hair was mostly gray. He looked very kind and talkative. He came to sit at the table. After getting off the bus, they started chatting with Tang Yuan.

When he heard that Tang Yuan was full of praise for his cooking skills and thought that his cooking skills were better than those of chefs at Michelin restaurants, he smiled even more and his favorable impression of Tang Yuan became even stronger.

"Master Wu, your store is not big, but the business is quite good." Tang Yuan chatted with Wu Tai and his son for a while, and when they became more familiar with each other, he began to bring the topic down to business: " You’ve been operating here for so many years, haven’t you ever thought about changing to a bigger store?”

Faced with Tang Yuan's inquiry, Wu Tai shook his head and responded with a smile: "Little brother, I think your accent is from the mainland. You may not be aware of the situation in Hong Kong City. It's not that we don't want to replace him." Big store, but the cost of replacing a bigger store is just too high.”

"We have actually considered it before, but we did a careful calculation. Assuming that we change to a store that is twice the size of the current store, the monthly rent we bear will increase by more than three times. As the store expands, We, father and son, will definitely not be able to keep up with the work alone, so we will inevitably need to recruit workers, and the labor costs will further increase."

"Based on various factors, we have carefully calculated that after expanding the store, we may not necessarily earn as much as we do now, and the risks will also be greatly increased. The final result may be a thankless effort."

After working hard all day, Wu Tai rarely took a break. In addition, Tang Yuan's booking fee for today was more than what they earned in a week of busy work, so he was in a very good mood and started talking.

Tang Yuan nodded slightly. He knew that what Wu Tai said was true, because what Wu Tai just said was a common problem in many family-run businesses.

The smaller the scale, the more prosperous the business.

The scale is so large that it quickly annihilates everyone.

There are countless situations like this in real life, but it is not easy for Wu Tai and others to always keep a clear mind and work hard with their original intentions.

"Master Wu, I would like to ask."

"How much money can you make after working hard for a year?"

Tang Yuan pondered for a moment and asked Wu Tai again.

"This……"

When Wu Tai's son Wu Liang heard this, he didn't expect that Tang Yuan would suddenly ask such a private question, and he became a little hesitant for a while.

"If someone is interested, just tell the truth." Wu Tai glanced at his son and said angrily: "Do you think they can like our three melons and two dates? They are still hiding it. "

"Cough cough..."

"It seems so."

Wu Liang coughed twice, looking a little embarrassed. Looking at Tang Yuan's burly black-clad bodyguards and the many luxury cars parked outside the store, he felt that his concerns were indeed unnecessary, so he laughed twice and turned to Tang Yuan. Yuan replied: "We exclude rent and costs every year. When the year is good, we can get almost one million per year. When the year is not good, it is about 80 per year." When Tang Yuan heard Wu Liang's answer, there was no expression on his face. There was a look of surprise on his face. It seemed to him that the number reported by Wu Liang was not only not very high, but actually a little less.

The annual profit of one million sounds like a lot, but you must know that behind this profit, the labor force paid is Wu Liang’s family of three, which means that the average annual salary of each person is only more than 30, and according to 2018 The latest survey report shows that the median income of Hong Kong residents is 1.5 yuan, and the average salary is 2 yuan.

On average, the income of Wu Liang's family is just a little higher than the average salary of Hong Kong residents. Compared with the hard work they have put in, it is indeed not very high.

"Hey……"

"House prices in Hong Kong City are really too high. It's a bit embarrassing to say that, starting from my father's generation, three generations of my ancestors have been running such a small shop for nearly a hundred years. I still can't afford to buy this small shop." Every year, half of the hard-earned money goes to the landlord."

Speaking of this, Wu Tai took over the words and let out a helpless sigh. However, this is the current situation of Hong Kong City. As native Hong Kong people, they have no other way out except to continue to maintain the status quo.

Following Wu Tai's sigh, the entire store fell into a brief silence.

"Master Wu, are you interested in changing your environment?"

Suddenly, Tang Yuan broke the quiet atmosphere and asked Wu Tai.

"Change the environment?"

Wu Tai was a little confused and was confused by Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan saw this and smiled slightly: "I mean, would Master Wu be interested in coming to Zhonghai to work as my private chef? The annual salary is 200 million."

After Tang Yuan expressed his intention, not only Wu Tai and his son were confused on the spot, but also Wen Muxue, who was sitting opposite Tang Yuan, was also confused.

After a long moment, Wu Tai and his son finally came to their senses.

Private kitchen?

Annual salary of 200?
Wu Tai and his son looked at each other and were immediately moved. You must know that they work very hard for a whole year every year, and only in good years can they earn 100 million, and the young man in front of them opened his mouth and opened their mouth. Annual profits doubled.

However, his heartbeat returned. Wu Tai hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head. If the other party lived in Hong Kong City, then he would agree without saying a word. But the other party lived in Zhonghai. He had been there since he was a child. He grew up in Hong Kong City and has never left Hong Kong City in his life. Now it is really difficult for him to abandon everything here and go to Zhonghai.

Wu Tai shook his head. Just when he was about to refuse, he saw Tang Yuan raise his hand and signal him to be calm. Then Tang Yuan spoke again: "Master Wu, don't be busy yet. Refuse, after you listen to all the conditions I offer, it will not be too late for you to refuse again."

When Wu Tai heard this, the words of rejection that were already on his lips were forcefully swallowed into his stomach again.

"Master Wu, if you are willing to come to Zhonghai to be my private chef, I will spend 2000 million to open a restaurant for you on the Bund, the most prosperous part of Zhonghai, and you or your son will be the store manager. I will also give you this The restaurant owns 49% of the shares, and your annual salary will then be composed of a fixed salary of 200 million and restaurant dividends."

"In addition, as long as you can maintain your cooking skills at the same level as today, after you have worked for me for five years, I will completely transfer 49% of the actual shares of the restaurant to you, making you a veritable major shareholder. .”

"How about it?"

"Master Wu, after adding this condition, what do you think?"

After Tang Yuan finished speaking, he took a sip of the Gangcheng milk tea at hand, and then looked at Wu Tai and his son with smiles on his face, waiting for their answers...
