Chapter 847 Treat
If we say that Ning Weimin's "soft, hard and thick" is applied to Zhang Qiang and her mother.
He is just trying out his skills for the first time and is not familiar with the skills.
A few days later, when he sorted out his experience, figured out the tricks, and applied these four-word strategy to the subordinates of Tan Gong Restaurant again.
It is already retractable and retractable, and the technology is very proficient.
Speaking of the people in Tan Gong Restaurant, Ning Weimin believes that the biggest factor of instability is the overt and covert fighting among the factions.
Zhang Shihui and Du Yang, with their respective cronies, were divided into two factions, which have always been on two distinct tracks.
In order to gain Ning Weimin's important position, they were harmonious on the surface, but fiercely competed with each other in private, which was a bit like the "party struggle" of the feudal dynasty.
Although Ning Weimin is also happy to see this, he feels that this will help improve the enthusiasm of his subordinates for work and is more conducive to his "rule".
But if he is away for a long time and there is no control without him, it will be a different matter.
I'm afraid that the originally evenly matched and healthy competition may go out of the circle and turn into a real "infighting" that will hurt both sides.
No matter who loses or wins, the good situation of stability in the rear will be destroyed.
How could he be at ease?
What's more, if the performance in Beijing is affected, the Service Bureau and Tiantan Garden will probably not be happy either, and will definitely persuade Ning Weimin to give up his plan to expand overseas.
So this is a problem that he must solve before going abroad.
The only effective solution is to no longer engage in power balancing as in the past.
As the saying goes, "There are no two wrong ways to control power, and there are no two wrong branches of politics."
One party must be given sufficient management power.
As for who to support? Who to suppress?
The answer is obvious.
Ning Weimin had no choice but to choose Zhang Shihui.
Although Du Yang's ability is obviously much better than Zhang Shihui's, from a business perspective, choosing him is more in line with the interests of the three investors.
But if it is based on personal interests or private emotions, for Ning Weimin, Du Yang cannot be compared with Zhang Shihui.
What if Du Yang really chooses the cigarette hotel co-owned by Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui?
What about the tourism handicraft business?
There are also old objects and famous calligraphy and paintings that Ning Weimin rented to Tan Gong Restaurant. Can Du Yang feel safe if they are handed over to him?
Can Du Yang help Ning Weimin take care of Sun Wufu and Gu Si'er, and also monitor and coerce them?
Nowadays, there are major cultural activities in the Temple of Heaven Park all year round, and Ning Weimin's personal interests have benefited a lot from this. Can Du Yang defend Ning Weimin's position from others?
As for internal security, can Du Yang do his best to help Ning Weimin cover up sensitive issues in the face of those in special departments?
Of course these are impossible, but Zhang Shihui will do it.
Ning Weimin was a layman after all, and his original intention of opening Tan Gong Restaurant was not out of public motives.
Of course it is good to balance public and private matters. If not, he can only make self-interested decisions. This is human nature.
To be honest, Ning Weimin has already decided on the general direction of employing nepotism.
He decided to support Zhang Shihui to succeed him, even before he had the intention to expand overseas.
Because no matter what, he knows that one day he will work alone.
And his nature is to eat from the bowl and look at the pot.
If he leaves the company one day, he will need to leave an agent in Pierre Cardon to help him take care of as many interests as possible so that he can start his own business more smoothly.
No one is more suitable for this role than Zhang Shihui.
But the problem is how to convince the public and how to get rid of the eyesore of Du Yang.
Originally, in order to completely prevent subordinates from "hanging their waists", it was also to clear the way for Zhang Shihui to take over.
The first idea that came to Ning Weimin's mind was to collude with Qiao Wanlin and transfer Du Yang back to the service bureau, using the method of promotion overt and covert.
If the minions under Du Yang are dissatisfied, such as Pan Long, the restaurant manager who is closest to him, they will slowly find a mistake and spend the money.
But if you do this, it is obvious that you are killing the donkey.
This is just like when Song Gaozong killed Yue Fei, he had to kill Yue Yun and Zhang Xian in order to avoid future troubles. It was too much for his grandson.
It will definitely cause great damage to his image and prestige, which has always been fair and just.
How can he convince his subordinates that if they follow him and work hard, they will be able to succeed in the future?
If you want to have no sequelae at all, you can’t do it so hard.
In addition, Ning Weimin was both excited and a little scared by this power to determine someone's future at will.
He suddenly understood what it means to hold a sharp knife in hand and have a murderous intention.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, isn't Du Yang's situation in Tan Palace somewhat similar to his own situation in Pierre Cardon?
He just doesn't want to become the Tan Gong Restaurant run by a killed donkey.
And now the brave man has become the evil dragon. Isn't this a great irony?
How can one find peace of conscience?
So for a long time, he was worried about this matter.
Fortunately, when I cleared up the misunderstanding with Song Huagui, I finally figured it out.
Since even Mr. Song could allow him to jump up and down, he even intended to let him go to Shanghai for his own safety.
Then why can't he treat Du Yang like this?
Speaking of which, it was his own selfishness that limited his thinking.
Although he proposed to open a store overseas, in his heart, he only regarded this matter as an excuse to go abroad.
He was still like a farmer, thinking only about the three-thirds of an acre of land in front of him.
In fact, Du Yang himself is a very enterprising talent and has the ability to work alone in business. Wouldn't it be good to let this kid go out to conquer cities and territories?
Why can’t we really let the Tan Palace branch blossom in all directions?
So he has a better choice, which can solve the current problem without sacrificing talents like Du Yang.
It’s just that he still has to do some ideological work to understand Du Yang and make him willing to accept such a choice.
July 4th is the day when Pierre Cardin Company officially announces the list of overseas models, and it is also Du Yang’s day off.
Just to set up a banquet and have a good chat with Du Yang, Ning Weimin postponed all the reception banquets at the company, which shows how much he attaches importance to it. However, considering that everyone is engaged in catering, it is not like anyone has never tasted good food.
In order to prevent Du Yang from feeling oppressed, the food and wine arranged by Ning Weimin for this meal were not extravagant.
It was completely different from the luxurious farewell banquet he invited Zhang Qiang and her mother to in the first few days.
It’s not that whatever is expensive is expensive, but it is quite simple and affordable style.
The cold dishes are glutinous rice with lotus root and mixed jellyfish, and the hot dishes are lotus leaf meat, roasted mutton, winter melon cup, and chrysanthemum stewed shredded chicken.
Additional shrimp fried noodles as a snack and a bowl of almond tofu per person.
Drink warm Jimo wine with plum blossoms in it.
It’s not the hard-covered wine of the old longevity star and Erlong Xizhu, it’s just the most common mass-produced glass bottle.
It looks like ordinary friends getting together to have a toothsome meal together with restaurant dishes that are better than home-cooked food.
It should be said that Ning Weimin's painstaking efforts were not in vain.
Du Yang really fully understood the meaning of this meal.
Given the huge gap in status between them, he never thought that Ning Weimin would treat him to dinner.
The first feeling after being invited was that I was flattered.
What's more, I didn't find out until I arrived that Zhang Shihui, who was on duty today, was actually called by Ning Weimin to join him for this meal.
He knew even more how extraordinary this meal was.
Today’s focus is not on eating at all, but on what to talk about during the dinner.
So Du Yang, who was sitting upright, looked calm on the surface, but his heart was really churning.
I couldn't help but think hard about what big thing to talk about. I didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
Ning Weimin likes to talk in circles, so he will not go straight to the topic, but will talk about it in bits and pieces.
This way of talking can not only show that he is not so utilitarian, but also show that he is confident and confident.
It seems that no matter how the conversation goes, any outcome is within his control.
As a result, Du Yang felt even more anxious and anxious.
“Our restaurant specializes in palace cuisine. We have been doing it for such a long time. I think you all know whether it is Manchu and Mongolian barbecue, delicacies from mountains and seas, traditional Manchu flavored food, or dishes from the south of the Yangtze River. Less. But there were four types of palace banquets in the Qing Dynasty, including Manchu banquets, Han banquets, memorial banquets, and sutra chanting and tribute banquets. Even though the banquets we sell are full of dishes from all ethnic groups, they can only be called Han banquets. Banquet, do you know what a full palace banquet looks like?"
Du Yang and Zhang Shihui looked at each other and shook their heads.
No one touched the silver chopsticks on the table, but acted like they were all ears and extremely interested.
Ning Weimin showed off the knowledge he gained from "Zhang Dashao".
“The real full banquet is pasta. From ancient times to the present, no country in the world has used massive amounts of pasta as a state banquet. Except for the Qing Empire. There are a total of six levels of full banquets, all of which are mainly pasta. Those who attend the banquet will get a "pastry table", which is a low table with bright red paint, on which various kinds of pasta are laid out layer by layer, forming a mountain of pastries. If you take a piece out from underneath and eat it, it may cause the entire pastry mountain to collapse..."
Ning Weimin paused. Although he had taken off his suit, the high temperature of 278 degrees in the room still made him feel uncomfortable. He kept sweating.
He couldn't help but ask Zhang Shihui to turn on the ceiling fan in the room, and wiped his face with the wet towel at hand.
When he put down his towel and saw that Du Yang was still looking forward to it, Zhang Shihui took his seat again with great interest.
He then continued.
"Manchus like noodles, not rice. There are many kinds, including fried, steamed, stir-fried, baked, or made with honey, or made with salt and pepper, or made into dragon and phoenix shapes. Or in the shape of flowers. But even with such a variety of Manchu dumplings, they cannot cover all the contents of the dumpling table. In fact, in addition to Manchu dumplings, there are also Mongolian noodles, Hui noodles, and Xian noodles. And Han nationality noodles. With the satisfaction of Dingding Central Plains, the "pastry table", which was designated as a state banquet, also carried out ethnic integration. The most distinctive and exquisite noodles from all over the country were gathered on one table. It is no longer pure that it is the same kind of pastry. A small milk roll was originally a Mongolian snack, but on the table of the Qing Dynasty state banquet, the milk skin came from Mongolia, and the filling was called honey-soaked water chestnuts from Changlu. Nowadays, things that are called "dim sum" are almost all staple foods. Our restaurant has made a better restoration of this. Steamed cakes, hot noodle horns, steamed buns, and noodles are all classified as dim sum on the menu. "
Du Yang and Zhang Shihui both had smiles on their faces and nodded gently, as if they were honored.
But looking at my spirit, I am indeed a little excited.
Ning Weimin smiled with satisfaction and continued.
“Japan used to be a typical small country with a small country. During the Qianlong Dynasty, the Japanese envoys sent to China by the shogun were only entitled to the lowest-class full seats. The treatment was not as good as the fifth-class full seats. The Japanese envoys who paid tribute to the Qing emperor every year were shocked by the banquet, because the so-called "washoku" was not used in Japan until the mid-Edo period. A little oil. In the Qing Dynasty, not many people in Japan even had the habit of using milk and dairy products, whether it was the stir-fried rice dumplings or milk-based rice dumplings on our pastry table. Pastry, to them, tastes like heaven. To put it bluntly, a piece of Sachima can make a Chinese pastry chef kneel down. Since then, Japan has introduced eight kinds of pastries from China. They just started to learn the cooking method using oil from us, and named it "Table Fur Cuisine"."
Hearing this, Du Yang and Zhang Shihui finally laughed sincerely.
The two of them nodded frequently, looking very happy.
After all, making fun of little devils is a common hobby of every Chinese.
Especially when they can still make money from Japanese people's pockets every day, this kind of happiness is even more unbearable.
At this time, since the atmosphere at the banquet was already lively and harmonious, Ning Weimin was able to talk about the real topic.
“Times have passed and the Qing Empire no longer exists, but Japan has become the most developed country in Asia. But even though it is rich, it is no longer short of oil, water and milk. Even Tokyo today can be said to have gathered people from all over the world. There are countless delicious food and the most high-end French restaurants. But why do Japanese people who come to China still come to our place to be slaughtered? And many of them are unwilling to leave without spending 1,800 yuan. They all come from Fangshan, Tingli Restaurant, and here. Some people are asking about the Manchu and Han Banquet. Why?”
“Why? It’s not because our Chinese cuisine is so good. No. 1 in the world. Can our chefs be as good as those from Japan?" Zhang Shihui answered impatiently, but his impatience was far from what Ning Weimin wanted.
Ning Weimin shook his head, "No. We do have advantages in cooking skills. But don't forget that people from different countries have different tastes. Even in our country, people from different places have huge differences. What’s the difference? You won’t say that the sweet tofu in the south tastes good. Similarly, the fried liver and braised pork in the capital can’t be tolerated, so the cooking level needs to be considered. A well-informed eater, a true connoisseur, is not that important. The cooking level of 60% is enough to satisfy Japanese people. There is no difference in roast duck. Maybe only we Chinese people... no, only people in the capital like us who often eat roast duck have this ability."
"Is it because of the reputation of the palace cuisine? When the Japanese come to the capital, in addition to eating roast duck, they eat palace cuisine. Just like the self-employed people around us. I have never seen any upstarts in the world like this. They will never forget it after they get rich. To eat the best delicacies from the mountains and seas, you must first be worthy of your own stomach."
Du Yang's temperament was more steady, and his answers were thoughtful. As expected, he got an advantage and got Ning Weimin's thumb.
“Yes, fame determines the fate of local food. Fame plays a big factor in whether a place’s specialty food is prosperous or not. The so-called famous dishes and time-honored brands do not need to pay for advertising fees for a long time. People Well-known dishes and merchants. Our palace cuisine obviously has this advantage. It has long been famous. No matter whether it is foreign guests or domestic guests, few people really know what the imperial cuisine is like, but no matter who it is, they all want to try it. What is the taste of the food? Especially when traveling, as long as you hear that a royal garden operates imperial cuisine, people will want to taste it..."
"So you are sure to open up a business in Japan, and rely on the imperial cuisine in Japan. Unique scarcity overseas? Okay. In this way, Tan Palace is the only one overseas, and its branches may be more popular than the main store in Beijing. "
Du Yang is indeed a wise person. He became more knowledgeable and satisfied with Ning Weimin.
At the same time, he also unintentionally helped Ning Weimin, making it more logical for Ning Weimin to say the following words.
“There are factors in this regard, but when it comes to certainty, of course it is still more comfortable for local snakes in China to wait for these foreigners to come to their door and kill them. To be honest, I have certain confidence in going to Japan. For special reasons, I have to give it a try. From a purely business perspective, it is better to rely on the royal garden to attract people to spend money. Only with this environment can you create an authentic atmosphere, and there are almost no losses. The older palace restaurants compete with us, but Chengde and Shenyang are a blank slate. As long as there are royal gardens and places visited by foreign tourists, where can we not set up a Tan Palace? Neither Fangshan nor Tingliguan have any intention of competing with us. What do you think?"
