Chapter 119 If Money Is Easy to Make, It Will Be Your Turn?
Sitting in a chair, Li Changheng thought, except for Philip, only those behind the Bank of England, or those who want to get hold of the royal family, would monitor him.
But he also understands that if he wants to take revenge, he must at least know who his enemy is.
Otherwise, the scope of the attack is too wide, and it will be enemies with those who have no enemies.
"Knock knock knock".
There was a knock on the door, and then Annie pushed the door in with a worried expression on her face.
"Honey, are you all right?"
"Don't worry", Li Changheng stood up with a smile, "I will solve this matter."
Kissed Annie on the face, "Let's go, let's finish the banquet tonight, and then cooperate with Andrew and the others to open a restaurant. It can be regarded as a practice for you, so that in the future, my business will grow bigger and bigger, but I can't find someone who can fully trust me." people help me".
This is true, but if you ask for her help, it is only a marginal business at most. In reality, there are not too many cases where couples quarrel because of different opinions on business.
Annie said happily, "I'm sure I can help you."
At 6 o'clock in the evening, the group of Charles and Andrew probably had business to discuss at night, but none of them brought their female companions.
Moreover, everyone had an antique from the Celestial Dynasty. What surprised Li Changheng the most was that what Bell Burke brought was actually a piece of Yuan blue and white.
He couldn't help but look at Bell a few more times, thinking that this group of people must have better ones.
After locking all the antiques in the basement, Li Changheng's attitude immediately improved a lot when he came back.
Under the notice and guidance of the housekeeper, he walked into a large dedicated dining room of about 30 square meters.
Of course Li Changheng is sitting in the main seat, and Annie will definitely be sitting in the hostess position on Li Changheng's right.
Below her is Andrew, and Charles is sitting in the first seat on the left of Li Changheng.
There are butlers, servants and waiters borrowed from the royal family, and everything is carried out in accordance with the most standard dining etiquette.
And as long as you have watched the TV series of Downton Abbey, you can probably understand that the etiquette of the nobles has been introduced to the rich and even business banquets very early.
Therefore, although Li Changheng had never experienced this kind of ultra-formal banquet, he was not very surprised, and even felt that it was not as luxurious as Americans and future Chinese people.
However, it's not that the nobles don't want to reveal their wealth, but that the conditions are not allowed and they are suppressed by the capitalists and the people, so they are playing low-key luxury now.
After Li Changheng held a glass of wine and said his congratulations and welcome words, the dinner officially began.
The appetizer of cashew nuts and shrimps is quite satisfactory. Although Annie and others like it, they are not surprised.
After only four chaotic broths were put in, the group of people praised it.
Then, it is sweet and sour, and it is said that it will never be ranked first or second, and the pineapple sweet and sour pork is served, and the plate is completely in accordance with the practice of a French restaurant.
The exquisite presentation, together with the sweet and sour taste that was completely in accordance with the appetite of the British and Americans, instantly whetted the appetite of this group of English nobles.
Then there are fried dumplings, beef tenderloin with broccoli, crispy chicken, and finally mapo tofu with fried rice with shrimps, which is non-numbing and sour with tomatoes.
An hour later, Li Changheng was probably the only one in the audience who felt that this kind of Chinese food, which was mostly changed according to the taste of England, tasted torture, and even Annie had a surprised expression.
"Honey, I really didn't expect Chinese food to be as delicious as French food in terms of presentation and delicacy."
"Yes, Annie, I agree with you this time."
Andrew wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said with a sigh, "If there is a restaurant like this in London, I will definitely go there twice a week."
The speaker has no intention and the listener has the heart.
Charles and a dozen other people looked at Li Changheng who was sitting on the main seat with bright eyes.
When Li Changheng heard this, his heart suddenly felt that this group of people were actually bumpkins.
Thinking about the dark cuisine of the English, it is no wonder that in the future, whether it is improved Chinese food, Italian food, Spanish food, or restaurants from other countries, they can directly dominate the catering industry in England.
"The last dessert should be regarded as a new dessert that has never appeared in England, and it should be given to Anne and the restaurant as a gift."
"God".
"Praise be to you, Henry".
Now even Andrew realized that the business was related to Chinese food.
Surprisingly, he hurriedly turned his head to look at today's housekeeper, who nodded with a smile.
Soon after the meal, the dessert, egg waffles wrapped in ice cream, strawberry pieces, and then poured six or seven layers of chocolate lines was served.
This improved dessert, which was rated as the best dessert by Londoners in the future, captured Annie's heart instantly.
Although other people didn't like it crazily, everyone felt that this novel snack might be a restaurant's signature.
Andrew said in a hurry before he finished eating, "I think we have to open a restaurant like this on Oxford Street, Regent Street and Bond Street to slightly satisfy Londoners' demand for food."
"Agree".
"Agree".
There are 15 people including Charles and Annie, and each of them pooled 10,000 pounds. Even Bell Burke, who has the worst economic conditions, will have no problem.
These years, the per capita income in London is thousands of pounds. Compared with the future London per capita income of 30,000 to 40,000 pounds, taking 35,000 pounds is 35 times.
15 times 35 times 5.25 million pounds, this money will definitely be able to open a restaurant with a dining area of at least 150 square meters and a total area of 300 square meters in Oxford Street and other places in the future.
And Li Changheng's way to get rid of people like Charles and Andrew is to encourage them to build restaurants according to the exquisite French cuisine, and at least the standards of high-end restaurants.
Find experienced retired housekeepers to train waiters, and you will become the best in terms of dining etiquette and service.
Moreover, this model is the most suitable for their identities. There is no need to talk nonsense. Charles and the others subconsciously think that it should be a high-end restaurant.
But he himself follows the model of small and many, opening all kinds of fast food restaurants with only a dozen tables except for the larger main store.
One earns money from middle and high-income groups, and the other earns money from low-income earners.
Fame Charles and others have to go, but the money will never be as much as Li Changheng, and the future market value is not worth mentioning.
It's a good idea, but it makes the same mistakes as most people.
Just seeing other people making money, I take it for granted that I can do it too.
But I don't know how many difficulties they have gone through to show you the most glamorous side.
There are also many businesses that are the product of a specific era.
Fortunately, direct-operated restaurants will not suffer from the appreciation of real estate alone.
Li Changheng held Annie's hand and said, "There are too many of you, so I won't compete with you for shares.
However, I will pay Annie to join the upscale restaurant subsidiary in my place.
And as the promoter and the provider of the business, I think I have the right and the right to get 10% of the shares of the high-end restaurant.
But although the 10% shares are in my name, I will hand over the management and voting rights to Anne, no problem? "
