【790】 Food Auction

"The employment pressure in Tokyo is very high, and many people have to choose to work overtime in order to work!" Lin Watanabe didn't know how to answer his girlfriend's question, so he could only choose the most positive answer.

After all, Lin Watanabe can’t have a high-speed girlfriend. Most Japanese companies call overtime work just to behave and do a very diligent performance.

According to surveys by some research institutions, more than two-thirds of overtime workers are working in the office for two or three hours, and more are browsing web pages, playing games or even watching AVs to pass the time. After leaving the company, most of these white-collar workers with great work pressure choose to go to izakaya to drink. They don’t go home drunk until late at night.

What Lin Watanabe saw in China is rarely seen by office workers who buy vegetables and go home to cook after get off work.

…………

The auction of Super Bluefin Tuna - "Lucky Star" is located in the "Watanabe Supermarket" branch in Ginza, which is also a sign that the "Watanabe Supermarket" has successfully gained a foothold in the Tokyo high-end food market.

Because of its cooperation with the "Minghu Group", Watanabe Supermarket" has obtained a large number of top-level food supplies. Its expansion has been very smooth in the past two years. Not only has it opened 18 chain branches in Tokyo, but it has also successfully entered Ginza!

You should know that Ginza has always been the most prosperous area in Tokyo, famous for its high-end shopping, and is ranked among the three bustling centers in the world along with Fifth Avenue in New York and Champs-Elysees in Paris!

In addition to having sufficient funds, the products they sell must also have a certain industry status. Not all cats and dogs can enter the Ginza business district.

Today, the Watanabe Supermarket has become the most eye-catching ingredient supplier in Tokyo with Xiaoshi wine, Jinghu beef, Jinghu fruit and various top ingredients as its sales targets.

This time, the "Watanabe Supermarket" auctioned top bluefin tuna with great fanfare, which also means that the "Watanabe Supermarket" has begun to enter this important industry again.

Among the top sushi restaurants in Japan, bluefin tuna has always been a very important ingredient. It can be said that if there is no top bluefin tuna (black tuna), sushi restaurants cannot be called high-end!

Therefore, when the news of this record-breaking bluefin tuna spread, it immediately attracted a large number of target customers!

…………

"Grandpa Ono, you are here, and my store is full of glory!" At the entrance of Watanabe Supermarket, Lin Watanabe saw the old Jiro Ono, but he did not dare to neglect at all!

Jiro Ono, 86, is the founder of the best sushi restaurant in Tokyo, "Sukayabashi Jiro Sushi Restaurant", and has a high prestige in the food circles in Tokyo and even Japan.

The story about this sushi restaurant and Jiro Ono was once made into a documentary "Rodreamssushi" (translated in Chinese as "The God of Sushi"). The movie was released in various countries such as America in 2012, making this restaurant famous all over the world and becoming the super high-end sushi restaurant that tourists most expect to eat in Tokyo.

Over the years, Jiro Ono has stopped making sushi by himself, but acted as the producer of the sushi restaurant. Lin Watanabe did not expect that the "Lucky Star" would attract him.

"This time the 'lucky star' is of great quality. Xiao Watanabe, you are lucky!" Ono Jiro nodded to Lin Watanabe and said in the caring tone of the elders to the younger generation.

Ono Jiro and Lin Watanabe's grandfather, Old Watanabe, have had more than 60 years of friendship, and Lin Watanabe can be regarded as the one whom Ono Jiro grew up watching.

When Ono Jiro saw Xiao Xiao beside Lin Watanabe, he realized that this was Lin Watanabe's Chinese fiancée, and naturally knew the relationship between Xiao Xiao and "Lucky Star".

In fact, as soon as Xiao Xiao appeared at the venue, she was noticed by the sushi restaurant owner, food critic and others present. The information about her is not a secret.

In the past two years, the products of the "Jinghu Group" have been invincible in the Tokyo high-end catering market. Even Kobe Wagyu Beef can't withstand the aggressive offensive of "Jinghu Beef", so everyone will naturally collect relevant information.

"Mengyao Coffee" also began to spread through some Western restaurants in Tokyo and has been recognized by many industry insiders in Tokyo. As the person in charge of "Mengyao Coffee", many people have been famous for her for a long time.

You should know that Tokyo is the most important market for "Blue Mountain Coffee". More than 80% of "Blue Mountain Coffee" are consumed in Tokyo every year, which shows the demand for top coffee in Tokyo.

Nowadays, "Mengyao Coffee" is gradually emerging, and Xiao Xiao has also become a celebrity in this circle!

In addition to Jiro Ono, many owners of other top sushi restaurants in Tokyo have also come, including Jiro Ono’s direct descendant, Mizutani Hachiro.

Mizutani Hachiro’s sushi restaurant is located in Ginza, only 50 meters away from the ‘Watanabe Supermarket’. Since the opening of the Ginza branch of Watanabe Supermarket, Mizutani Hachiro comes here every day to purchase various ingredients, becoming a loyal user of ‘Mirocou Food’.

In fact, in addition to the auction of "Lucky Star", "Watanabe Supermarket" also prepared series including the top five-year-old Xiaojia ham, the best "Minghu Beef", "Purple Bamboo Space" wine, fruit wine and other series, which can be said to be full of elites!

Watanabe Supermarket also hopes to successfully establish its own position in the Tokyo and even Japan food circles through this auction, creating favorable conditions for the next step of expansion.

Today's auction was hosted by Lin Watanabe himself, which is also his first official debut in Tokyo's top food circles, and he will enter this circle from now on.

Because the size of the "Lucky Star" is too large, in order to be consumed as soon as possible and maintain the best quality, it will be separated into 10 parts, each part is about 40 kilograms, ensuring that everyone has a share.

In this regard, Jiro Ono and others did not raise any objections. After all, most top sushi restaurants do not have many seats, and the ingredients they can consume every day are limited. Instead of wasting it, it is better to share them together!

Of course, in Japan, where the hierarchy is very strict and the concept of seniority is strong, and the other competitors will naturally not be serious about him. They will intentionally or unintentionally let him get the best part during the auction.

Sometimes, the benefits of qualifications are invisible and intangible, but they always exist!

Of course, Jiro Ono is not the kind of person who bullies the younger generation. When he offers a price that meets the market expectations, otherwise he will not have the face to see Lao Watanabe!

As everyone was looking forward to it, this special food auction finally began. A guest on the scene captured the scene where Lin Watanabe appeared.

Later, this photo was considered by many people to be a symbol of the full landing of "Jinghu Food" in the Tokyo market. Since then, the pattern of the top catering market in Tokyo has undergone tremendous changes! (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
