Thinking of this, the smile on my face became even stronger, and I said to Eli with a smile: "Mr. Eli, do you think Chinese cuisine can be included in Michelin's rating mechanism?"

I don’t know whether it’s because gringos are biased against China, or because Chinese food doesn’t suit the taste of these gringos, but Michelin has not started rating restaurants in China.

After all, Chinese cuisine is one of the three major cuisines in the world, as famous as French cuisine, right? Is it because these French guys are unhappy that Chinese cuisine has such a high status that they deliberately do not rate it in mainland China?

"Oh my god, I just realized that Chinese food is so delicious. It was really my loss to ignore this before. You know, I have been eating Chinese food at Jiangnan Club these days. I can't get enough of it." Yi

Lai said with an excited expression on his face.

It seems that Eli was very satisfied with the banquet held at Jiangnan Club that night, and he still can't forget it even now.

My cousin’s Jiangnan Club hired some of the top chefs in China, and it’s not unreasonable for Eli to still think about it.

"According to what Mr. Eli said, if we cooperate to open a restaurant, it is very likely that this restaurant will receive a Michelin rating?" I asked again.

Eli nodded and said to me: "Believe me, Mr. Zhang, if the restaurant we cooperate with has the most unforgettable Chinese cuisine, I believe it will definitely get a Michelin rating. And, this time

My family asked me to lead the inspection team to Huaxia for the purpose of rating Huaxia restaurants. After all, Huaxia now has an influence that cannot be underestimated in the world in every aspect. If Michelin gives up this market, it will obviously be a

A very unwise choice.”

Feeling Eli's affirmative tone, I couldn't help but feel excited.

If it is true as Eli said, then isn't the restaurant we open the first restaurant in mainland China to be rated by Michelin? This name is very valuable if it is released!

I suppressed my excitement, forced myself to calm down, and then asked Eli: "So what kind of cooperation does Mr. Eli want to start with me?"

Eli thought for a while, then raised his head and looked at me and said: "As for the chef and the venue, Mr. Zhang must take care of it. I will use the influence of Michelin to create an image for this restaurant. In terms of funding, each of us will have half and half of the shares.

I give 60%, and the remaining 40% goes to Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"

If Eli can guarantee that the restaurant we open can get a Michelin rating, or have the full support of Michelin, for this alone, it will be very cost-effective for me to invest all the rest and get 40% of the shares.

of.

You must know that no restaurant in mainland China has received a Michelin rating. If the restaurant we open can receive a rating, it will be the first restaurant in mainland China to receive a rating.

This honor alone is probably worth a lot, right?

However, when working with Eli, I have no intention of giving up the leadership to others.

"Okay, Mr. Eli, my Phoenix Group is also interested in entering the catering industry. Why don't Mr. Eli invest in Phoenix Catering using Michelin's rating mechanism, and I will pay for the rest. What do you think?" I looked at it with a smile.

said Eli.

After hearing my words, Eli's expression obviously froze, but he quickly concealed it.

"So I wonder how many shares of Phoenix Catering I can get?" Eli looked at me and asked.

I pretended to lower my head in thought, and after a while, I raised my head and said to Eli: "Thirty-five percent, what do you think, Mr. Eli?"

Hearing my words, Eli narrowed his eyes, looked at me and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, this price is a bit unreasonable, right? Is the influence of my Michelin family only worth such a small share?"

After I stated my conditions, Eli knew that I would probably want to take the dominant position in this cooperation project, but what Eli didn't expect was that I only offered such a low price.

If it weren't for the fact that the goal in his heart had not been achieved, I'm afraid Eli would have waved his sleeves and left immediately.

"How many shares do Mr. Eli think is appropriate?" I said with a smile.

"At least sixty percent."

"This is really too much. If we really divide it like this, I'm afraid my Phoenix Catering will have to change its name to Michelin, right?" I squinted and smiled.

"I never said before that I wanted to invest in Phoenix Catering. What I meant was that we cooperate in a new restaurant," Eli said.

"Let's do this, Mr. Eli, I will give you 10% more, and you will have a total of 45% of the shares of Phoenix Catering. You must know that this restaurant is opened in the Magic City of China, there is no way I can't not get it

In a dominant position. Moreover, if the cooperation with Mr. Eli is happy, I will give Mr. Eli my greatest help in China. With this support, Mr. Eli may really be able to open up the Chinese market and use this energy to

It’s impossible to leverage Lisa’s position in the Michelin family.” I said with a smile.

The following words are just empty words for now. As long as I can get Eli to invest in Phoenix Catering and leverage Michelin's influence in the restaurant rating mechanism, then I will make a lot of money.

After hearing my words, Eli began to lower his head in thought, as if considering the pros and cons of such an allocation.

After a long time, Eli raised his head and said to me: "Since I want to make Mr. Zhang a friend, then I will agree to Mr. Zhang's condition. I will invest in shares in my own name. Please also ask Mr. Zhang not to use me as a shareholder."

If it is revealed, otherwise even if Phoenix Catering obtains a Michelin rating, it will probably bring an extremely bad reputation, right?"

Eli is a direct descendant of the Michelin family. If when Phoenix Catering is rated by Michelin, it is known that Eli, a member of the Michelin family, still owns shares in Phoenix Catering. I am afraid that Phoenix Catering will only attract evil by then.

"Of course, even if Mr. Eli didn't remind me, he wouldn't be stupid enough to do this." I said with a smile.

I was filled with joy, but I didn't expect that Eli actually agreed to this request.

But I was a little confused, why did Eli agree so easily? I even prepared that Eli would give me an eviction order.

Eli's cheerfulness was a bit beyond my expectation. Did he really agree just because he wanted to be my friend?

Even if you use this kind of excuse to deceive others, they won’t believe it.
