"So you mean the investors behind Haidilao will come after Jianghu Hotpot?
Coming out of his trance, Chen Yihao said in surprise.
"It depends on whether Haidilao can withstand the impact of Jianghu Hotpot. If it can't, the capital behind it will definitely find ways to bring down Jianghu Hotpot. Never ignore the four words "a desperate dog will jump over the wall"! But these are secondary. Flies don't drill into seamless eggs. If the other party really wants to mess with Jianghu Hotpot, they have to find a crack to drill into. In the final analysis, the problem lies with Jianghu Hotpot itself. As long as Jianghu Hotpot doesn't have any handle in the hands of the other party, the other party will still be unable to do anything with Jianghu Hotpot. Therefore... hygiene, ingredients, and service, these three points must be firmly grasped. There must not be any mistakes, otherwise it would be tantamount to handing weapons to the other party!
Speaking of this.
Ye Chen suddenly paused, and then said, "Yihao, Liu Xi and Yu Shoucheng should be with you, right?
Chen Yihao on the other end was suddenly stunned.
Liu Xi and Yu Shoucheng beside him responded quickly into their cell phones which were on speakerphone.
"Mr. Ye, I'm here!" "Mr. Ye, I'm here!"
"Well, I don't have much to say. Don't be too proud. Don't be complacent and think that Jianghu Hotpot's domination of the industry is just around the corner just because of its current success! I believe you have heard every word that Yihao and I said just now. Therefore, the more successful Jianghu Hotpot is, the more you cannot relax. It is not easy to build a good reputation, but sometimes it only takes one negative comment to destroy it. I believe you know this better than me. My requirements are not high. Always be alert to crises. As I said, hygiene, ingredients, and service, these points must not have any omissions or problems. Once they occur, in this era of public opinion, you can imagine what will be waiting for Jianghu Hotpot!" Ye Chen said.
"Mr. Ye, I understand, I understand!" Liu Xi and Yu Shoucheng said hurriedly.
"In addition, this is just the beginning for Jianghu Hotpot. After all, apart from the 60 stores in first-tier cities, there are no Jianghu Hotpot stores in second-, third- and fourth-tier cities. So in the coming period, not only do you have to give orders and require them to always be vigilant and pay close attention to aspects such as hygiene, food ingredients and services, but you also have to start planning for the next step of expansion!" Ye Chen said again.
"Don't worry, Mr. Ye. I have just discussed this issue with Mr. Yu and Yihao today. In the previously established planning and development framework, our expansion ideas are already there!" Liu Xi responded.
"Well, that's good! But I still have to say something up front. Expansion does not mean blindly pursuing success, so you must stabilize, stabilize, and stabilize again. There must not be any reputation crisis, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!" Ye Chen said in a loud voice.
Liu Xi and Yu Shoucheng on the other end of the line couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts when they heard this.
Even if Liu Xi is a shareholder of Jianghu Hotpot, he holds 32% of the shares.
But in front of this young man who was much younger than him, even when they were just on a phone call, he felt a tremendous pressure.
So much so that the joy and pride that I just felt because of the opening performance of Jianghu Hotpot seemed to have disappeared completely.
"Yes, Mr. Ye!" Liu Xi responded loudly.
"Okay, let's stop here for today. You must remember that Jianghu Hotpot still has a long way to go. It has not yet blossomed in all cities across the country, and it has not yet been listed on the stock market, so it is far from the time to be proud of it!"
Let me warn you again.
Only then did Ye Chen hang up the phone.
Inside the car.
"Aren't you being too harsh? After hearing what you said, I guess they won't dare to even think about celebrating their success!" Chen Yinuo said subconsciously.
"Celebrate? How far do we go? Only when we are listed on the stock market and achieve a dazzling market value, that will be the time to celebrate! As for saying that I am harsh, it is not that I want to be harsh, but I have to be harsh. After all, there are too many eyes staring at Jianghu Hotpot. If we are not careful, we will be pushed to the forefront of public opinion. As long as there is a handle or stain, our reputation will be crushed! The price is too high. I don't want Jianghu Hotpot to bear those costs because of its own laxity!" Ye Chen said very rationally.
After a pause, he continued, "Also, Jianghu Hotpot is different from Yiren Ruxue, because Yiren Ruxue is a unique business, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a monopoly, so Yiren Ruxue has room to make mistakes, but Jianghu Hotpot does not, because there are too many competitors! With per capita consumption being the highest in the industry, even higher than Haidilao, if there is a hygiene accident or food material accident, it will definitely not withstand the storm of public opinion!
Chen Yinuo, who had just said this casually, was suddenly speechless.
Old Yan, who was acting as the driver and driving a Red Flag car with a special license plate, nodded secretly.
Unconsciously, even he was impressed by Ye Chen's character.
Because if he was thirty years old, he would never be able to face success with such rationality and calmness like Ye Chen...
Twenty minutes later.
A red flag with a special license plate appeared as Lao Yan took out a pass and placed it on the windshield.
Thanks to the "security guards", we drove into the Diaoyutai Hotel smoothly.
Ye Chen and his family of three also stayed there as arranged by Lao Yan.
For Ye Chen, who had visited Diaoyutai Hotel many times in his previous life, this place could hardly cause any waves in his heart.
But it is not the case with Chen Yinuo. Diaoyutai State Hotel is a prestigious place that is beyond the reach of everyone!
How much is this
Feeling the place before my eyes where even the air seemed to be filled with majesty.
It's amazing to think that top politicians from countless countries have stayed here.
Chen Yinuo, who came from a common family, couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and take pictures in his excitement.
In response, Ye Chen smiled and said nothing more.
He even cooperated with Chen Yinuo in taking pictures with a smile on his face.
Chen Yinuo and Ye Youyou, who visited Yanjing for the first time in their lives, spent the night at Diaoyutai.
The next day.
I don't know if it's because he misses his granddaughter too much or what.
Liu Hui arrived at Diaoyutai Hotel early in the morning.
In the magnificent dining room full of Yanhuang characteristics, a simple breakfast was finished.
Liu Hui said, "Youyou, grandma, can I go to the Great Wall with you today?"
"Okay, okay, okay, that's great, grandma, I love you!"
When she heard that they were going to the Great Wall, the little girl couldn't help but rush to Liu Hui and gave her a big kiss on the face.
Liu Hui, the president of the Yanjing branch of Shenzhou Bank, was so happy that she was shaking with joy.
"Yino, take a look later to see if there is anything else you need to prepare. If not, we can just go!" Liu Hui smiled and turned to look at her daughter-in-law.
However, before Chen Yinuo could speak.
Ye Chen immediately said, "You and Youyou can go, Yinuo...it will be inconvenient for you to go!"
"Huh?" Liu Hui was stunned.
Looked at Ye Chen.
He looked at Chen Yinuo again, "Yinuo, what's wrong?" Seeing this.
Chen Yinuo felt somewhat embarrassed.
Finally, she said, "Mom, Ye Chen is right. You and Youyou can go. It's not convenient for me... Well, I... I'm pregnant!"
