Chapter 2353 Phoenix Catering
Thinking of this, the smile on my face became even stronger. I smiled and said to Eli: "Mr. Eli, do you think Chinese cuisine can be used as a Michelin rating mechanism?"
I don’t know if it’s because of the foreigners who are biased against our China or if the Chinese cuisine does not meet the tastes of these foreigners, but Michelin does not conduct restaurant ratings in China.
No matter what, Chinese cuisine is one of the three major cuisines in the world that are as famous as French cuisine? Is it because these French guys are unhappy that Chinese cuisine has such a high status that they deliberately do not rank at Huaxia 6?
"Oh my God, I actually realized that Chinese cuisine is so delicious. Ignoring this before was indeed a loss. You must know that I have been eating Chinese cuisine in Jiangnan Club these days, and I never get tired of eating it." Eli said with an excited expression on his face.
It seems that the banquet at the Jiangnan Club that night still satisfied Eli very much, and he can't even forget it until now.
My cousin’s Jiangnan Club has hired one of the top chefs in China, and it is not unreasonable for Eli to remember it.
"According to Mr. Eli, if we cooperate to open a restaurant, the restaurant will likely receive a Michelin rating?" I asked again.
Eli nodded and said to me: "Believe me, Mr. Zhang, if the restaurants we work with are the most memorable Chinese dishes, I believe it will definitely get a Michelin rating. Moreover, this time the family asked me to lead the inspection team to China, and there is also the purpose of rating Chinese restaurants. After all, China now has an influence in the world in any aspect. If Michelin gives up this market, it is obviously a very unwise choice."
Feeling Eli's affirmative tone, I couldn't help but move.
If it is really as Eli said, then isn’t the restaurant we opened the first restaurant in China 6 to be rated by Michelin? It would be very valuable if this name is released!
I suppressed my excitement and forced myself to calm down. Then I asked Eli: "So what kind of cooperation does Mr. Eli want to start with me?"
Eli thought for a while, then looked up at me and said, "Mr. Zhang must have to deal with the chef and venue. I will use Michelin's influence to create an image for this restaurant. We each have half of the funds. I have 60% of the shares, and the remaining 40% belongs to Mr. Zhang. What do you think?"
If Eli can ensure that the restaurant we run can get a Michelin rating, or with the strong support of Michelin, this one alone will be very cost-effective to get all the shares for me to invest and work.
You should know that no restaurant in Huaxia 6 has ever received a Michelin rating. If the restaurant we open can get rating, it will be the first restaurant in Huaxia 6 to get rating.
This honor alone is probably worth a lot of value, right?
However, when working with Eli, I have no intention of giving up the dominance to others.
"This way, Mr. Eli, my Phoenix Group is also willing to enter the catering industry. It is better for Mr. Eli to invest in Phoenix Catering with a Michelin rating mechanism. I will give all the rest. What do you think?" I looked at Eli with a smile and said.
Hearing my words, Eli's expression was obviously stagnant, but it quickly covered it up.
"So I wonder how many shares of Phoenix Catering I can get?" Eli looked at me and spoke.
I pretended to bow my head and thoughtfully. After a while, I raised my head and said to Eli, "Thirty-five percent, what does Mr. Eli think?"
Hearing my words, Eli narrowed his eyes and looked at me and smiled, "Mr. Zhang, it's a bit unreasonable to open such a price? Is the influence of my Michelin family worth only such a small share?"
After I told my conditions, Eli knew that I might want to dominate this cooperative project, but what Eli didn't expect was that I only offered such a low price.
If the goal in my heart had not been achieved yet, I'm afraid Eli would immediately leave.
"How many shares do Mr. Eli think are appropriate?" I said with a smile.
“At least sixty percent.”
"There are too many. If I really divide the money like this, I'm afraid my Phoenix Catering will have to change its surname to Michelin?" I squinted and smiled.
"I never said I would invest in Phoenix Catering before. What I mean is that we will cooperate with a new restaurant." Eli said.
"Let's do this, Mr. Eli, I will give you 10% more. You have a total of 45% of Phoenix Catering. You should know that this restaurant is open in the Magic City of China, and I cannot not gain a dominant position. Moreover, if you cooperate with Mr. Eli happily, I will give Mr. Eli the greatest help in China. With this support, Mr. Eli may be able to really open up the Chinese market. It is not certain to use this energy to leverage Lisa's status in the Michelin family." I said with a smile.
The following words are just empty words for now. As long as Eli can invest in Phoenix Catering and use Michelin's influence in the restaurant rating mechanism, I will make a lot of money.
Hearing my words, Eli began to bow his head and ponder, as if considering the advantages and disadvantages of distribution like this.
After a long time, Eli raised his head and said to me: "Since I want to make a friend of Mr. Zhang, then I will agree to Mr. Zhang's conditions. I will invest in my personal name. Please don't disclose me as a shareholder. Otherwise, even if Phoenix Catering has obtained a Michelin rating, it may bring an extremely bad reputation, right?"
Eli is the direct descendant of the Michelin family. If Phoenix Catering is rated by Michelin and others know that Eli, a Michelin family, still owns shares in Phoenix Catering, I am afraid that Phoenix Catering will only attract bad luck by then.
"Of course, even if Mr. Eli doesn't remind me, I can't be stupid enough to do this." I said with a smile.
I was very happy, but I didn't expect Eli to actually agree to the request.
But I was a little puzzled, why did Eli agree so easily? I even planned to give me an order to expel guests.
Eli's pleasure was a little beyond my expectations. Could it be that he really agreed just because he wanted to make a friend like me?
Even if you take this reason out and cheat Guigui, you won’t believe it.
I would have brought my cousin to me if I had known it. If my cousin was by my side, she would have guessed Eli’s thoughts.
