Text Chapter 1185: Something

Zhou Jiexi lived a leisurely life these two days, and it was a bit extravagant to say that, just for a bear's paw, he wanted to find a chef who could cook Chinese dishes. This situation has been approved by the old lady. There are so many people in the family, it really needs a special chef.

Otherwise, my mother did not cook hard, but she was also a little tired. Coupled with a professional chef, he will definitely be able to better handle the high-quality ingredients on his farm, and cook more delicious food than them.

So the family invited a chef from the Celestial Dynasty, and the treatment given by Zhou Jiexi was not low. He went directly to the super-middle class and was given an annual salary of 150,000 US dollars, but he signed a one-year work contract first. This is requested by the chef himself, who is also in his prime, and was originally the head chef in a big hotel in the capital of China.

But because of the future of the child, he and his wife have always wanted to immigrate, so they had to leave their jobs at home and come to the United States with their wife. Speaking of his wife is also a capable independent woman, the editor-in-chief of a gourmet magazine, and now she has been appointed as the editor-in-chief of the US side, and the branch is here in San Francisco.

It's good for my wife to earn enough money outside, and I don't feel panic when I have food in my hand. This is why their family dared to immigrate. In addition, the mentality of the man is good. It's not that he can't make money, but now he has made sacrifices for his family and abandoned his domestic work. As far as his skills are concerned, when he returns to China, there will still be a lot of people running dryly to find him to take charge of the overall situation. He has this strength.

However, there are always accidents these days. My wife works well, but she can't stand the bankruptcy of the head office, and the branch office can't continue. This magazine was bought by others, but they didn't plan to use Chinese people. They believed in the new editor-in-chief from France, so the family's source of income was cut off.

Fortunately, as luck would have it, they were from the Celestial Dynasty. Compared with families in the United States who don't like saving money, Chinese people have always liked to accumulate food. Even if they don't exist in the bank, they will buy some value-preserving funds and bonds. The money can also support them for several years, so there is no need to worry.

As for returning to China, neither of the couple had thought about it. When I came out, the scenery was good, and the immigration was done. If you want to say that I still have a job and a good income. If you don’t do it, then going back is called supporting the construction of the motherland. Go back like this now? What is that called, and you went back in a daze?

Of course I can't go back, and my child hasn't graduated from college yet. Universities in the United States are also very expensive. A semester costs 30,000 to 40,000 US dollars, plus food and drink, the consumption is really high. After thinking about it like this, the couple can't just sit and eat, so they go out to find a job.

Abalone Chef Abalone went out to look for it, but it's a pity that he is not satisfied with his taste. The tastes in the United States and China are very different. In the past, many things could not be used. Now the way to work in restaurants is narrowed. What we need to find is the kind of Chinese restaurant that has the right taste.

When I went for an interview at a high-end Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, San Francisco, the owner of the restaurant was a friend of Jessie Zhou, a member of the Chinese American Federation. He knew that he wanted to find a good chef. That's how Chef Bao came to work at Jiexi Zhou's house.

The dishes cooked by my mother are very homely, but they are only at such a high level, and they are not too high. After all, this is not her profession. The chef invited is professional, and the techniques are superb. My mother can also learn when she is free, so that when I return to China in the future, my father's appetite will not be uncomfortable.

As the afternoon approached, Zhou Jiexi wanted to go to the kitchen to see what was delicious today, and by the way, to see how his bear paws were doing. When he entered, he saw a slightly fat man with yellow skin, busy with two white women, and that man with yellow skin was the personal chef Abalone invited by Zhou Jiexi.

When Zhou Jiexi walked in, everyone saw it, and several people greeted him. He said to Abalone: ​​"Uncle Bao is still used to living here?"

Abalone also smiled and said, "Very good, the air and environment here in Meixi are much better than San Francisco." He put down the ingredients he was processing: "I feel very good living here with my wife. , especially the house you gave has a river in front of it, and fishing is fun when you have free time."

Zhou Jiexi nodded, and then asked concernedly, "How is the neighbor next door, are you still getting used to it?"

"Very good, everyone is from the Celestial Dynasty, and there is no obstacle to communication." Abalone said that he was really happy: "There are often parties at night, and I am good at cooking. Now I am about to become everyone's chef."

"Hehe... that's good!" Zhou Jiexi also said with a smile: "However, these guys are still so leisurely. It seems appropriate to ask the company instructors to increase the amount of training."

"Then they will be out of luck!" Abalone said humorously.

The residence that Zhou Jiexi arranged for them was on the land allocated to the security personnel. A small town-like community has been established over there now, and the area where they live is the area where there are more Chinese and Asians, also called the Asian area.

There are employees and family members who work for his security company. Many women are professional housewives. The income of the security personnel belongs to the middle class. With benefits and bonuses, their families are really rich and free. . When the family lives well, the employees will be more likely to agree with the company and the boss.

"Is Mrs. Bao still planning to come out to work?" Zhou Jiexi couldn't help asking, this woman still has good respect among those housewives, many of whom are high school graduates. At least she is an independent woman who wants to prove herself with work.

Abalone nodded helplessly, "She is a very strong person, I think it is impossible for her to rest at such a young age."

"Oh!" Zhou Jiexi nodded, looked at Abalone suddenly and said, "Then ask her if she is interested in working for me. Although your wife is a food editor, I think her management experience should be very good. I Recently, I plan to set up several companies, and I need someone with management experience in advance, if she has enough ability, I think I will give her a chance to display her talent!"

"This..." Abalone was a little surprised.

"Don't worry, I'm not joking!" Zhou Jiexi finally added: "The project I'm working on recently is about a health food company, at least she's on the sidelines, and I think she will also be involved in contacting the media in the future." Good experience."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, I will go back and discuss it with my wife!" Abalone finally said gratefully.

"You're welcome, I just gave her a chance. As for whether she can succeed, that's up to her!" Zhou Jiexi said lightly. Just when he was about to say the next sentence, the phone next to him rang again. He took it out and saw that it was the boss of his private investment team and also his personal investment consultant Elena.

Well, I guess we can't ask about the bear's paw now, this woman must have something to ask him for. "Sorry, I have to answer the phone."

"It's okay, you are busy first!" Abalone said quickly.

Zhou Jiexi nodded, then picked up the phone, took a few steps out of the kitchen, and walked towards the study. "Hello, Elena!"

"Hi boss." Elena said.

"Okay, what's the matter?" Zhou Jiexi asked.

"Of course, my boss!" Elena then restrained her smile and said seriously: "Boss, have you read the special edition of Tom Cat's company performance report recently?"

Although he was a little curious about why Elena asked this, Zhou Jiexi still confirmed and said: "Well, I saw that they did a good job!"

"That's exactly what I want to tell you this time!" Elena said: "As your private investment consultant, at least a lot of people in China know me now. So much so that the chairman of the Arubaba company, through The channel found my private contact information."

"Arubaba? You mean the Arubaba group in the Celestial Dynasty?" Zhou Jiexi was really curious now.

"Yes boss, the CEO of their group, Czech Ma"

"Ma Yun!" Zhou Jiexi said, "Tell me, what good business does he have for us?"

"He just wants to have some private communication with you, and he thinks it's impolite to interrupt you, so he wants to get in touch with you by contacting me first." Elena explained.

"Well, do you know what it is?"

"It's about our Chinese version of Tom Cat!" Elena said. Then the boss with a tone of admiration: "He got the news that you didn't count the Chinese version of Tom Cat in the financing project of the American Tom Cat head office, so the Chinese Tom Cat is independent."

Zhou Jiexi was not surprised to get the news. Businessmen can always find a way to get some news, not to mention Ma Yun, a creative figure. "Why is he interesting?"

"Yes boss, our Tom cat's domestic social market share is worthy of his action. There is only one giant in China, Penguin, and we have already surpassed MSN to become China's second largest social service software. There is some distance between the two, but there is a potential to catch up with him in the future!"

"I know all this, tell me what he means!" Zhou Jiexi said

"He wants to buy our Chinese version of Tom Cat."

Zhou Jiexi was silent for a long time, considering the gains and losses and benefits in his mind, and Elena over there was not in a hurry at all. "What's your opinion?"

"My opinion is actually very simple. Boss, we can now make Tom Cat more independent, establish Tom Cat Tianzhao Company, change the name of Tom Cat a little, and obtain authorization from the US head office."

"I gave you the authorization from the very beginning, so you don't need to worry about it!" Zhou Jiexi said.
