Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 228 Advanced Black

Cai Tian, ​​the founder of Yipanhaocai and a judge of the Black Pearl Restaurant Guide, visited Beicheng Hotel twice in a row, and he went with great fanfare, which made Jiang Beicheng feel that his motives were not pure.

If they were just coming here for a normal meal, Jiangbeicheng would definitely play the role of host and warmly welcome this colleague.

Even if I am on a business trip, I will apologize over the phone.

He arrived just as the North City Hotel passed the Black Pearl Restaurant Guide selection criteria and entered the review stage.

Beicheng Restaurant is so famous on the Internet now, so it makes sense for a director to come and taste it.

However, according to the rules, the judges must come anonymously so that their real evaluations can be more credible.

Not only did Cai Tian not remain anonymous, he came with great fanfare for two days, as if he wanted all the employees in the store to know that it was him.

He also specifically asked to see Jiang Beicheng.

The management under Jiang Beicheng thought that they had to show their appreciation to him.

This is a bit too unruly.

Even if it passes the selection, the value of black pearls will be greatly reduced.

In recent years, the reputation of Black Pearl has basically been ruined by these directors.

Huge moisture.

In comparison, Michelin is more professional, has stricter management, and is more trustworthy.

Jiang Beicheng had no intention of trying to please Cai Tian.

Instruct Manager Luo to receive him politely.

"Is your General Manager Jiang still not back from his business trip?" Cai Tian asked Manager Luo while sitting in the private room of the MixC branch of the North City Hotel.

Although Mr. Jiang said that a normal reception would be enough, Manager Luo still came out to receive the guests in person.

Show some respect.

But it seems that he doesn't have enough face, Cai Tian only wants to talk to Mr. Jiang.

"Sorry, Mr. Cai, Mr. Jiang is on a business trip." Manager Luo explained.

"Did you tell him that I came to the restaurant to eat?" Cai Tian asked.

"Already told."

"what did he say?"

Faced with Cai Tian’s questioning, Manager Luo certainly could not answer truthfully.

Saying "normal reception" would make Cai Tian feel very embarrassed.

Manager Luo smiled and said, "Boss Jiang asked me to receive Boss Cai well."

This sentence does not go against Mr. Jiang's intention, but it makes people feel more comfortable.

Obviously, Cai Tian, ​​a veteran in the catering industry, doesn't buy into this at all.

He shook his head and smiled.

He wiped his hands and mouth, then stood up to pay the bill.

"Boss Cai, I've exempted you..."

Manager Luo was about to offer him a free meal.

Mr. Jiang said it was a reception.

Cai Tian smiled and said, "I don't need you, the store manager, to pay for my meal."

Just ask the cashier to issue a receipt and pay.

Manager Luo smiled awkwardly and took a step back.

He understood what Cai Tian meant, and he felt embarrassed because President Jiang did not show up to receive him.

But as an employee, he has to do things according to Mr. Jiang's instructions.

Finally, he smiled and saw Cai Tian off from Beicheng Hotel.

Jiangbei City is a large flat on Park Avenue that we arrived at at nine o'clock in the evening.

Shen Jun asked the servants to prepare midnight snacks for him in advance.

My good sister and I went home to have dinner and listened to Shen Jun’s work report.

Shen Jun told Jiang Beicheng everything that Cai Tian ordered, did, and said at the MixC store in the past two days.

Jiang Beicheng smiled and asked Shen Jun, "What do you think?"

Shen Jun analyzed: "If it's not to gain some benefits privately, then it's to lure Mr. Jiang aboard."

Jiang Beicheng smiled and nodded: "Maybe both!"

Cai Tian’s character as a food judge is very well done.

In the past few years, he also invited many Hong Kong stars to support him.

This gives him a relatively high status in this industry.

Many restaurant owners want to meet him.

Naturally, some benefits will be given in private.

To be honest, Jiangbeicheng really wants to get on their ship, after all, the person at the helm is Wang Xing, the founder of Meituan.

The Black Pearl Council includes Wang Xing and two vice presidents of Meituan.

The benefits of North City Hotel boarding the Meituan local life giant are definitely greater than the disadvantages. However, if Cai Tian and his team were to board this ship, it would completely go against the original intention of Jiangbei City to open a restaurant.

In the future, I will inevitably be constrained by these people.

It will not only affect the development of Beicheng Hotel, but also affect the happiness of employees.

His primary purpose in the catering industry is not profit!
"Mr. Jiang, do you want to board this boat?" Shen Jun asked with concern.

“If Wang Xing or Zhang Tao sent me an invitation, I might consider it. Cai Tian is a little…” Jiang Beicheng ate with a smile.

Zhang Tao is the founder of Dianping.com. After the merger of Meituan and Dianping.com, he and Wang Xing became co-CEOs and co-chairmen of Meituan.

Jiang Beicheng said this not to intentionally elevate his own status and prestige, but the starting point of Meituan and Dianping in creating the Black Pearl Dining Guide was to serve the customers.

It is also to create a better catering market.

In the words of investors, invest in social value first and then wait for returns.

The higher the social value, the higher your return on investment.

Jiang Beicheng felt that he might have some common topics to talk about with Wang Xing and Zhang Tao.

The only two things to discuss with Cai Tian are profit and money.

Cai Tian’s status is not high enough and his vision is too narrow.

Shen Jun smiled and nodded. If Beicheng Hotel failed to make it onto the Black Pearl list because of Cai Tian’s incident, she would still think that President Jiang’s choice was correct.

I admire President Jiang from the bottom of my heart.

It is difficult to keep your original intention, especially when tempted by huge profits.

Of course, Mr. Jiang doesn't seem to be very interested in money.

After dinner, Shen Jun made a pot of tea for Jiang Beicheng, and he sat down and chatted with his good sister.

She went to the study to work overtime and took a rest first.

……

"The girl went back?"

The next morning, Jiang Beicheng woke up and didn't see Wu Keqing, so he asked Shen Jun.

Shen Jun nodded: "He left after breakfast, saying he was going to play with friends.

Mr. Jiang, please take a look at this article."

Jiang Beicheng took the phone.

I was instantly attracted by the title.

Beicheng Hotel, it can be even better!

This title is quite profound.

At first glance, it looks like feedback from a sincere customer.

At second glance, I felt that there was some compliment in it.

The third eye seems to have a bit of a high-level black flavor. It seems to be praising, but it is actually criticizing.

This article was published on a short video with the obvious intention of attracting attention.

Jiang Beicheng read the article carefully, shook his head and smiled.

"It's a long, flowing, well-organized, logically reasoned, eloquent, and lengthy article. Assistant Shen, how should I comment on it?"

Shen Jun also smiled, "Boss Jiang, I can only say that you are very good at blackmailing people."

Jiang Beicheng nodded while eating breakfast.

There is no doubt that this is an article about the Black North City Hotel.

Reading it is like giving feedback on your dining experience and offering your own thoughts and suggestions.

But real consumers cannot reach such depth.

It is obvious that it was written by someone who is very familiar with the catering industry, or even someone who has specialized in studying Beicheng Hotel.

The first part is about feelings and suggestions, and the second part is all about values. He personally praised Beicheng Hotel and Jiangbeicheng as the benchmark of national catering, and then talked about your shortcomings.

It was a trick of flattery and reversal.

Very artistic in language.

The concepts put forward in the article are all general and not specific.

These concepts are applicable to any businessman or entrepreneur in any industry.

The highlight is at the end, and the conclusion reads: I originally went there for the reputation of Beicheng Hotel, but after the experience, I was a little disappointed. Beicheng Hotel should do better.

This sentence is an emotional drain that attracts attention and comments.

The short video streaming rules and big data recommendations will definitely attract similar emotions to be vented.

The result is that the comment section is full of criticism and following trends.

Jiang Beicheng joked: "You are very familiar with the short video gameplay. This basin of dirty water was poured out without any sound."

Shen Jun said: "Boss Jiang, there is something more interesting."

She gave the blogger information of this account to Jiang Beicheng.

"Cai Tian!" Jiang Beicheng saw the introduction below the account: founder of Yipanhaocai and judge of Black Pearl. He shook his head and smiled, "Interesting."
