After visiting the Forbidden City, the itinerary in the morning ended. Yang Chen and others returned to the State Guesthouse to prepare for lunch.

The State Guesthouse was later known as the "No. 1 Hotel in the World". Naturally, it was not just a casual statement. In addition to its profound official background and an environment that could not be imitated, another factor was the strength of the chefs.

Unlike other hotels or restaurants that only serve a single cuisine, in the State Guesthouse, no matter what cuisine you want to eat, it will be available here, ensuring that you can taste the most authentic food from all over the country.

From all over the world, as long as you name it, the chefs in the State Guesthouse can cook it for you. Not only the cuisine, but also local snacks can be tasted here.

These days, anyone who can mention the word "country" is unmatched by others.

Since his net worth has doubled and he has money and is not short of money, Yang Chen has completely let go of his material life and enjoys it.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, the latter three are already difficult for Yang Chen to feel satisfied with now.

With his current wealth, even if he wears a beggar's clothes, lives in a thatched hut, and drives a tricycle, nothing will change.

Yang Chen has never cared much about other people's opinions, so for the latter three, he does whatever he feels comfortable with.

Only when it comes to food and appetite, he gradually becomes more and more picky.

'If a woman wants to capture a man's heart, she must first capture his stomach.'

Chinese people have always been very particular about what they eat.

No one can live without three meals a day. Whether the food is good or not often directly affects a person's appetite and mood.

Because of his boxing practice, his body was very exhausted. He had tried some high-supplement medicinal wines earlier and even gnawed ginseng like a radish to reduce the amount of food he ate at each meal.

But the taste of medicinal wine is unbearable. Yang Chen doesn't particularly like drinking, especially medicinal wine, which can kill people.

As for the radish-flavored ginseng, it still felt fresh once or twice, but after trying it a few times, Yang Chen lost the slightest interest.

After struggling a few times, Yang Chen decisively gave up on this stupid method of sacrificing his appetite to satisfy his body's consumption.

Yang Chen is completely immune to the issue of eating too much and being embarrassed. Outsiders can say whatever they want. Anyway, the mouth is on other people's bodies, and he can't control it even if he wants to.

Press, as long as you don’t face me and don’t give me face, it will be fine.

After Yang Chen ordered his favorite dishes, he handed the menu to Han Wenguang and Wu Jiangtao opposite him, and said: "Old Han, Old Wu, you two, take a look at what you want to eat, and order whatever you want. The dishes here taste very good.

.”

Yang Chen's words made the two of them laugh together, and there was no nonsense. It was a rare occasion for me to come to the state guesthouse and not have a good meal. I would be really sorry for myself.

Song Xue, on the other hand, was still thinking about the dishes that Yang Chen had just ordered, and her heart was twitching.

As if feeling Song Xue's mood swings, Yang Chen turned to look at her and said with a smile: "Sister Song, I paid for this meal myself, so I won't spend any money from the government. You don't have to report it to the superiors."

Han Wenguang and Wu Jiangtao are employees of Yang Chen and are not part of the business delegation heading north this time.

According to normal circumstances, it will naturally not be included in the public account.

Of course, if Yang Chen doesn't pay, the State Guesthouse won't ask him for payment.

Yang Chen and his business delegation went north this time at the invitation of their superiors. In official terms, it was a business trip, and all expenses were considered public accounts.

He didn't invite dozens or hundreds of people over to eat and drink for free, and now it's just two people coming over to share a meal. In this case, how dare you ask someone to collect money?

Compared with this small amount of food money, Yang Chen invested and donated money all the way north, which is not comparable to a few meals.

Of course, the main reason why Song Xue feels distressed is because Yang Chen is so edible.

Of course, if it's just edible, it doesn't matter. No matter how much white rice you have, it's not worth much money.

Mainly due to Yang Chen's mouth, other rich people from Xiangjiang, those people have always been economical, many people are not very picky about food, and no one will order those dishes that are too expensive.

Even if I order it, I won’t order too much at once.

But Yang Chen is different from those people. He just loves to pick out expensive and difficult-to-make dishes. The fresher they are, the more curious he is and the more he wants to taste them, especially the names of dishes he has never heard of. He doesn't care at all.

No matter how expensive the food is, if you raise your finger, you'll just eat a little bit...

During last night's dinner and in the morning, Yang Chen's name had spread throughout the entire State Guesthouse. Among the business delegation heading north to Xiangjiang was a rich man who could eat, which made the waiters and chefs of the State Guesthouse very curious.

"Xiaohan, let me see what that guy ordered."

"Manager, this is what Mr. Yang ordered."

When the manager saw the name of the dish, his face suddenly cramped up. After a long while, he said leisurely: "I'm afraid my two or three years' salary won't be enough to pay for this meal."

The waitress explained in a low voice for Yang Chen: "Manager, Mr. Yang said that this meal will not be billed to the public, he will pay it himself later."

When the leader heard this, he felt embarrassed, returned the menu to the waitress, and said: "That's it, then you can send the menu to the kitchen as soon as possible, so as not to delay Mr. Yang and his family's meal."

The prices for state hotels to receive outsiders are not generally expensive, and are calculated in U.S. dollars. For ordinary suites and deluxe suites, the prices are hundreds or even thousands per night.

Similarly, the food in the state hotel is not comparable to that outside. Although the taste is not picky, the price of the food is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

If you want to experience the services that foreign leaders can enjoy, ordinary people have to be willing to bleed. If you don't bleed, you can't even think about it.

After ordering the food, Wu Jiangtao said: "Boss, our 'Carrefour Plaza' in the capital was completed last month, and the decoration has been inspected. Now we are waiting for you, boss, to set a time for the ribbon-cutting and official opening."

As one of the nine veterans of Carrefour, Wu Jiangtao did not choose to go to Bay Area or Southeast Asia when Carrefour expanded externally. Instead, he chose mainland China, which has a broader market and more distant prospects.

Wu Jiangtao and Han Wenguang have been responsible for the expansion of Carrefour in China. Wu Jiangtao is responsible for Carrefour store expansion, and Han Wenguang is responsible for product supply channels.

The rapid opening of Carrefour in the Special Economic Zone has attracted the attention of many major cities in the mainland, especially in coastal areas. In addition to the Special Economic Zone, Carrefour Plaza has been opened in Shanghai and Tianjuan.

As for the capital side, due to various factors and the reason why Yang Chen went north, it has been delayed until now.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon. If Carrefour doesn't open again, it will have to wait until the Chinese New Year is over before it can open again.

This is also the reason why Wu Jiangtao and Han Wenguang are so anxious to come to Yang Chen. Compared with other places, if Yang Chen cuts the ribbon and opens the business in person, even some leaders may come to support it.

In this way, Carrefour can naturally take root in the city and avoid unnecessary troubles.
