Gong Mingcheng and Director Luan joined forces to defeat him.
According to Zhang Shihui's words, with their level and strength, it is called a foolish dream to hit the stone with an egg.
So Gong Mingcheng was so angry that he was desperate, and Director Luan was also in a panic, which was inevitable.
Call overestimate one's ability.
However, what about Ning Weimin?
In fact, his current state is very prominent. There are so many things to be busy with, and he still doesn't care about savoring the taste of revenge.
First of all, for him, the matter at Tangong Restaurant is also endless.
Even if the asset split is completed, there are still many endings to be processed later.
In addition to finding a suitable place to place the cultural, calligraphy, paintings and crafts that you rent to Tangong Restaurant, the more important thing is to place the talents.
There are many outstanding talents, especially those who are loyal to Ning Weimin. Their situation will become embarrassing and at a loss after this equity change.
Ning Weimin always needs to find a good place for everyone.
Otherwise, it will be a trivial matter that makes everyone feel cold. If all Ning Weimin's previous efforts are ruined, then it will be too late to regret.
You must know that the core competitiveness of Tangong Restaurant lies in the inheritance and restoration of palace culture, and the core talents of any catering company are halls, cabinets, and kitchens.
The Tangong Restaurant is from nothing in Ning Weimin's hands. What makes him most proud is not only how much money he made, but also how he used the right time, place and people to win over a large number of famous chefs and compiled a real palace menu.
And on this basis, high-end ingredients exclusive to China and some almost lost palace specialty foods were discovered.
These are the most precious intangible assets, and they are the experience and knowledge condensed by many predecessors. This is the wealth of the entire capital and the entire China.
If these things are lost again or even lost due to equity changes, it will not be a question of how much money Ning Weimin earns.
But it will make Ning Weimin unable to forgive his regrets for the rest of his life.
It will make him feel that he is a nation's sinner, far more sinful than those who resell cultural relics to foreigners.
So after Piercaton reached an asset split agreement with Temple of Heaven Park and the Service Bureau, Ning Weimin had to continue to negotiate with Zou Guodong.
This time he planned to buy back the assets that Piercat had shared in his personal name.
His goal is to include restaurants in Tokyo and Chengde on his private asset list from then on and complete privatization.
But to be honest, he is not really trying to make money for individuals with a restaurant, but based on a sense of responsibility, he wants to do his best to do something for the real Chinese food to enter the world's high-end market. "Come on!" Ning Weimin reached out and smiled at Zou Guodong, and then asked someone to put a pot of peach tree-like bonsai on the flower table in the corner of Zou Guodong's office.
"How about it? Look at the gift I give you..."
"I have no problem showing my diligence, I doubt your motive."
Zou Guodong still looked cold and was looking at the documents on the desk. He just looked up and ignored it. He looked like he was too lazy to care about Ning Weimin's distant appearance.
In this atmosphere, even Zou Guodong's secretary felt inexplicably embarrassed.
Looking at Ning Weimin with a little embarrassment, for fear that Ning Weimin, the third boss, would be annoyed by Zou Guodong's attitude.
However, Ning Weimin's thick skin is not comparable to that of ordinary people, and he is too familiar with Zou Guodong's indifferent temperament, knowing that this guy has always treated him straightforwardly.
He did not think it was offended at all, but instead asked Zou Guodong's secretary to make coffee for him.
And he came over further, took the initiative to take a chair and sat down on Zou Guodong's desk, "Don't read it, don't read it, rest. Put down the documents, let's talk about it."
"What's there to talk about. Things about magazines and issues about Tangong Restaurant. Have you talked about everything you should talk about? What else do you have?"
Ning Weimin said with a smile, "The problem of Tangong Restaurant is not that simple. Although the matter of division has been agreed, and by the Spring Festival next year, we will still operate with a dominant position. But during this period, the personnel ownership will still be I have to say that the competition for talents has begun. In order to make some excellent chefs and managers willingly give up the state-owned iron rice bowl and follow me, I have to offer them generous treatment, but also give them enough exciting prospects. If others don’t say it, I will just say Du Yang and Pan Long in Chengde. I can’t let them go. So in order to stabilize them, I will give up the ownership of the Beijing Tangong Main Store and choose the restaurant in Chengde. This is not all, I will also increase the dividends of their performance bonuses. Otherwise, they will hesitate if they want to have a iron rice bowl or do it for me."
Zou Guodong obviously listened to these words. Although he was still holding the documents in his hand, he unconsciously stopped moving, but looked out the window and thought for a while. After a while, he responded, "Talent is indeed a problem. You are right. How can a good restaurant leave excellent chefs and managers? Then you say, what does the company need to do for you and how to support you? Do you want money or people?"
This is really meaningful, with a generous and harmonious atmosphere.
But because of this, Ning Weimin was a little stuck.
He didn't expect Zou Guodong to be so easy to talk. He was stunned for a moment, but instead felt a little embarrassed.
"I want to... buy the assets of Tangong Restaurant to the company from the company... I am willing to pay 15 million US dollars..."
"What? You have so much money!
"Zou Guodong was surprised at first, but then he looked puzzled. "But why do you do this? Isn't the company supporting you enough? At such a big price, just to turn the restaurant into your private property? Haven't you ever thought about how much operating pressure you have to bear? It's not as good as outside. Private enterprises are not as good as foreign capital. They are just a business without fathers or mothers at all. Why can't you run the company for the company like in the past? Besides, you are still a shareholder of the company. Even if you maintain the status quo, you can share the profits of the restaurant. Or... you have already thought about it and leave the company..."
Zou Guodong's imagination is getting bigger and bigger, and finally returns to the old issue he cares about the most.
Ning Weimin quickly denied, "I don't mean to leave the company. I am also very grateful for the company's support for me. I know more clearly the status of private enterprises in China."
Then he explained apologetically, "But Piercatton is a foreign-funded enterprise after all. From the perspective of Chinese food culture inheritance and management, this may become a greater limitation and limitation on the restaurants I come to run in the future..."
The most new⊥小⊥小⊥小⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口⊥口�
"Greater restrictions and limitations?"
Zou Guodong repeated, completely putting down the documents in his hand, and his eyes were looking at Ning Weimin's face.
That look was still an incomprehensible question mark.
Ning Weimin said, "I mean that every country and every nation have something that is proud of themselves. For us, Chinese food is something that can shine in our culture and make every Chinese proud. Although the current status of Chinese food is a bit embarrassing, it cannot be recognized by the high-end class in the world. But we all know that court dishes and official seats have this potential. Whether it is luxury, culture, ingredients, or cooking, it is no less than French food. So under this premise, I I think that a Chinese food brand that makes Chinese people proud should belong to our people 100% and should not have any connection with foreigners. I cannot mistakenly think that we have achieved amazing achievements with the help of the French. I cannot make people feel that the Chinese food I run is not pure Chinese food at all, but has become outstanding by the improvement of French food..."
Ning Weimin's words surprised Zou Guodong even more. He did not expect that Ning Weimin was an employee of a foreign-funded enterprise.
No, he is a shareholder, he actually minds this kind of thing.
After a moment of contemplation, he said quickly, "Are you a little pretentious? Whether in terms of love or interests, there is no place for Mr. Pilkaton and the company to be sorry for us. Especially as a member of Pilkaton, we have the responsibility to protect the interests of the company. But as a shareholder, you still think so. I really don't know how to evaluate you. Do you really think it's necessary?"
"Of course," Ning Weimin said without hesitation, "I know, I'm a bit unkind to say this to me." "I know, I'm talking a little bit like a human word." To be nice, it is to be cheap and behave well. To be ugly, it is to be both a bitch and a archway. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, people like us are no different from the foreign compradors in the past. It would be nice if people don’t call us traitors. But the problem is that the essence of this matter is cultural ownership and cultural discourse rights. Can you imagine that the Moulin Moor in Paris was bought by a Chinese or a black man. Can you imagine that the famous French chef is not a Frenchman? Sometimes, this kind of thing will only be clear about what it feels like when things come to an end."
Zou Guodong frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "It doesn't sound like human words. I'm not afraid that you don't like to listen. I don't think you don't like to listen. I have a different view from you. Our nation always regards itself as culture, but is it the nation's world? Does culture really need to artificially create a sense of boundaries? You said you want to promote the development of Chinese food overseas, but if you do this, you are strictly guarding it, how can you expect others to accept you? And I always feel that there is a little bit of stinginess and timidity..."
"I accept your criticism. I may be a little petty. But I am definitely not timid, nor will I feel inferior."
Ning Weimin was not annoyed, even though Zou Guodong himself felt that this was a bit ugly, he even continued to explain patiently, "There is something you don't know, and I have never been." I told others. Two years ago, when Tangong Restaurant opened its Tokyo branch in Japan for a few months, it attracted a Michelin Japanese company's reviewer because of its booming business and unique dishes. The Japanese originally thought we were a restaurant that operated Japanese cuisine, but later found out that we were a Chinese restaurant for court dishes. He also took the initiative to ask me to send Tangong Restaurant to the "Michelin Red Book", saying that based on our ingredients level, cooking skills, innovation level, and the restaurant environment and service, we can give us a star recommendation. As a result, how did I reply? I refused. Others may think it is a kind of honor, but I feel it is a humiliation..." "Is it because the Michelin judge is willing to give you one star?" Zou Guodong couldn't help but interject. "Don't be too greedy. That's Michelin. If you are willing to accept it, then the Tokyo branch of Tangong will definitely be better. Only restaurants that perform well in all aspects can eventually win Michelin stars. I have never heard of a Chinese restaurant selected by Michelin."
Ning Weimin's eyes shone brightly and he shook his head.
"No, you are wrong. Without Michelin, our business and reputation are still very good. I refuse, not because of greed, I want more stars. But because the review standards and voice of this kind of catering delicacy are now completely in the hands of the French, and even the Japanese can comment on us. I feel sad for this. That's right, Michelin is an authority on French food, and there is no dispute about this. However, I don't know much about Chinese food. So why should we accept their review standards for Chinese food? Why should we accept a company? I don’t know the eight major cuisines, and I can’t even distinguish between dishes and snacks? Can you believe it, the reviewer’s favorite dishes are fried dumplings and spring rolls. I want him to put these two dishes on Michelin’s Little Red Book. Tangong Restaurant is a joke. No, Chinese food has its own system and should have its own review system. If not, we will establish it ourselves. This is what I want to achieve. Isn’t it necessary? ”
Cultural attributes are not transferred by personal opinions.
Although Zou Guodong said it just now, it was contrary to Ning Weimin's view.
But after hearing this, I was a little touched.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "I understand this matter a little. However, this matter is not something I can decide. I can only try to apply for you. The specific result must be processed, depending on Mr. Song's intention."
Ning Weimin was already very satisfied if this is possible. He even added, "For the company, it is actually not a loss to get money. Think about it, if you only buy two restaurants for 15 million US dollars, isn't it good to build another building in Shanghai after the company gets it? And if the company sells the restaurant to me, I'm not just From now on, you have to start your own business and not contribute to the company at all. Do you think this is good? When I return to Tokyo, I will set up a branch of Maxim Restaurant. This is finally worthy of you and Mr. Song, right? "
"You, don't beautify yourself." "
Zou Guodong said, "You have always liked to grab meat from the wolf's mouth. I have to advise you, you have to correct your problem by digging into the corner of the company, otherwise I will be anxious sooner or later." (End of this chapter)
