Chapter 459: The Big Melon at the Sealing Ceremony

While Mo Zhihu was enjoying himself with friends in the bar, he suddenly received a call from Chen Shuren.

"Hello? What are you saying, I can't hear you?"

Mo Zhihu was about to get up and go to the toilet in the private room, but found that the phone had been hung up.

It dawned on me when I saw Chen Shuren's WeChat message popping up.

After replying "Copy that, I'll arrive on time tomorrow", I put away my phone.

At this time, the music stopped and the surrounding area became much quieter.

Luo Lijin saw the smile on Mo Zhihu's face and asked, "What makes you so happy?"

Mo Zhihu smiled and said, "It's nothing. I'm going to attend a ceremony with Brother Shu tomorrow. I feel like laughing."

After Huang Mao heard this, before Luo Lijin could speak, he interrupted: "What ceremony?"

Mo Zhihu thought for a while and then told the scene where he and Chen Shuren met.

"Didn't I have some free time before and wanted to have a meal? Then I went to Sun Dongming's banquet for twelve people. I didn't get to eat, but I met Brother Shu..."

Listening to Mo Zhihu's words, everyone else looked strange.

In the past, they only knew that Mo Zhihu's father was lucky. He made hundreds of investments and succeeded ten times. Five of his companies were among the top 100 companies in Yanzhou and two were among the top 100 companies in Daxia.

Even if they do nothing every year, just relying on the division of labor of these ten companies is comparable to the profits of a large company.

Now that Old Mo is no longer investing, Xiao Mo is starting to get lucky?

Is it possible that the ancestral graves of the Mo family are really in a geomantic treasure land?

Can this luck be passed down?

"Holy shit, Brother Hu, you are really awesome. If I could meet such a person while eating, I... I wouldn't invest."

Huang Mao thought about it for a while, considering his temper would be good if he didn't get into fights, why would he still invest?

Listening to the flattery from the people around him, Mo Zhihu was very proud.

When he went home yesterday, his father didn't even mention his previous investment performance in front of him.

Because Lao Mo’s first investment experience was at the age of thirty, while Mo Zhihu was only in his early twenties.

Lao Mo, I have no shame to show off.

"Can I bring someone with me to tomorrow's ceremony?"

Luo Lijin's voice suddenly sounded, and Mo Zhihu was stunned.

"Brother Jin, do you want to go?"

"Yes, I want to meet that tree brother."

Hearing Luo Lijin's words, Mo Zhihu was not surprised.

He has been with Luo Lijin for so long, so he naturally knows what kind of person he is.

As long as Luo Lijin feels that it is helpful to him, he is willing to get in touch with and learn about it.

Otherwise, with Luo Lijin's current achievements, how could he be mixed up with second-generation people like Mo Zhihu who have no serious business.

"No problem. Brother Shu is a very nice person and has many ideas. Brother Jin, you should be able to chat."

"Well, thanks."

Luo Lijin patted Mo Zhihu on the shoulder and said.

"Holy shit, if you all go, then I'll go too!"

"I'm going too, I'm going too! I want to see Sun Dongming Feng Shao!"

Although Mo Zhihu looked disgusted, he responded.

"Go if you want, but be honest and just watch the fun. If you cause trouble, be careful, I will kill you!"

"clear!"

Along with the cheers of everyone, the music in the bar started again.

…

the next day.

At the door of the Chefs Association, Chen Shuren and Tang Yingcheng were chatting at the door.

"That guy Mo Zhihu won't let us go, right?"

Tang Yingcheng said suspiciously, he said it would be 10 o'clock, but now it's 10:10 and no one has been seen yet.

"I'll call and ask."

As soon as Chen Shuren took out the phone, he heard the buzzing sound of the engine. He looked up and saw five sports cars lining up and entering the parking lot.

The speed is obviously very slow, but the engine sound is noisy.

"This, it can't be that kid...it's true."

Before Tang Yingcheng finished speaking, he saw Mo Zhihu coming out of a sports car and yelling at several other cars.

After a while, Mo Zhihu came over with a group of people.

"Brother Shu!"

Mo Zhihu's stinky face relaxed after meeting Chen Shuren.

"Huzi, don't you look at what time it is and why are you still laughing?"

"Hey, it's not like the guys behind me started bombing the street and were stopped by the traffic police and gave them a lecture. It's too late now."

Mo Zhihu responded with a normal expression, but the group of people behind him were dumbfounded.

Huang Mao looked at the female companion next to him in disbelief.

"Did I hear you correctly? Huzi?"

"It seems like oh, who is this? Why do you call me Brother Hu and Zi? Isn't it just that he looks a little more handsome, has a better figure, and has a better temperament!!"

Huang Mao's face was expressionless after hearing what his female companion said.

Your eyes are almost popping out!

However, Huang Mao was still a little surprised when Chen Shuren called Mo Zhihu 'Hu Zi'.

There used to be young people in the industry who called Mo Zhihu, who had just started playing for a few years, "Huzi" because he had been playing for a few years and had a wide network of contacts.

Mo Zhihu fell out on the spot, but the other party didn't take it seriously.

Then within a few days, his father beat him until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

The reason was that his father went to Lao Mo's house to discuss investment. Mo Zhihu sued him halfway, saying that his son was rude and uneducated.

Although Lao Mo wanted to complain about Mo Zhihu, "Are you polite?"

But out of a protective mood, he still stopped the conversation.

Lao Mo didn't say anything, but the other party couldn't say anything!

Then, when that guy saw Mo Zhihu again, he changed his name to Brother Hu.

But now, what's going on?

Where was your domineering attitude back then, Mo Zhihu? Why are you so happy when this guy calls you ‘Hu Zi’?

Isn’t it just that he looks a little more handsome, has a better figure, and has a better temperament?

While others were busy with various activities, Mo Zhihu had already begun to introduce it to everyone.

After knowing that this was Chen Shuren, everyone felt a little better.

Artists are all like this.

However, Chen Shuren still couldn't let go of the fact that their 'Brother Tiger' was called 'Hu Zi'.

Of course, this does not include Luo Lijin.

Watching Chen Shuren and Mo Zhihu chatting, Luo Lijin did not interrupt.

Compared to the group of guys behind him who only knew how to play, he naturally knew how valuable the person in front of him was.

Although Chen Shuren does not have his own company, Hanhai's sub-brand "Shu Da Zhao Feng", Chen Shuren only took a stake and shot a few clothing endorsement posters, and the brand took off immediately.

Entering the top ten clothing brands in Qingzhou as a sub-brand.

This kind of value cannot be achieved by first-line artists!

Not to mention, whether Chen Shuren brings out variety shows, movies, or music, any one of them is enough to support a company.

Luo Lijin felt horrified just thinking about this kind of value.

In the past, he had wondered why no one took action against Chen Shuren's value, but his father shook his head helplessly and told him... no one dared.

With the existence of "Run Together", except Chen Shuren, no one dares to let him do something he doesn't want to do, except his parents.

The only way to get benefits from Chen Shuren is to start with friends, like "a big tree attracts the wind".

Therefore, what Luo Lijin has to do today is to pave the way for becoming Chen Shuren's friend.

Thinking of this, Luo Lijin couldn't help but look at Mo Zhihu with complicated eyes.

Is it possible that a man of luck really said this?

Everyone walked together, and when they arrived at a hall, Tantai Taigui came over and took Chen Shuren and others to sit down.

"Brother Shu, to tell you the truth, I have only heard of people who took the initiative to seal their spoons after becoming famous, but I have never seen anyone who was forced to seal their spoons when they were still young, hehe."

Mo Zhihu's words made Chen Shuren's mouth curl up slightly.

Although there is a sense of schadenfreude, this kind of thing cannot be tolerated.

Not long after, the spoon-sealing ceremony began.

"Brother Shu, this is the current president of the Chefs Association, Yan Mingzhou. Mr. Yan used to host the state banquet of Daxia. After he retired, he left Zhongzhou and returned to Yanzhou to become the president."

Chen Shuren nodded and watched Yan Mingzhou speak on the stage.

Judging from his appearance alone, President Yan seems to know how to maintain good health, otherwise his mental outlook would be too good for his age.

While Chen Shuren was observing, he heard Yan Mingzhou get to the point.

"Next, we invite Sun Dongming, a top chef from Yanzhou, to perform his spoon-sealing ceremony. Everyone is welcome."

There was sparse applause.

Most of those who can sit in the audience today are here to watch the excitement, and the rest are media reporters. A small number of them used to have a good relationship with Sun Dongming, but now they will not reveal anything about it.

After Sun Dongming walked onto the stage, he looked at the golden spoon on the table with an expressionless expression.

After taking a few steps onto the stage, Sun Dongming spoke into the microphone, which made the whole audience burst into uproar.

"I, Sun Dongming, will not be oppressed by power. Yan Mingzhou, I don't know how to seal a spoon, and you are not qualified to ask me to seal a spoon! My special chef certification was obtained by my own efforts, and you are only the president of the association. . If I listen to you, you are the president. If I don’t listen to you, you are an old stubborn.”

"Today, I announced my withdrawal from the Chefs Association! I, Sun Dongming, will join Haitian Catering as a special chef and become the head chef!"

Wow!

Click! Click!

Sun Dongming's words made the reporter's finger when pressing the shutter almost twitch.

Some people even took out their computers and started compiling articles on the spot, trying to publish the big news that could hit the headlines as soon as possible.

In the audience, Huang Mao and others were also shocked by this scene.

Then they all took out their mobile phones to take pictures and post them on their WeChat Moments.

"It feels so good. I just posted it and dozens of people liked it. I feel so beautiful!"

Huang Mao felt extremely satisfied as he looked at the growing number of likes in his circle of friends and the countless people asking.

Everyone else is pretty much the same.

Compared to them, Mo Zhihu was much calmer at this time.

"Is this old boy so stubborn?"

When Luo Lijin heard what Mo Zhihu said, he sat up straight and explained to Mo Zhihu, Chen Shuren and others.

"Haitian Catering has always been unpopular with the Chefs Association, and there has never been a special chef in the group. Even if there are senior chefs, there are not many."

"I'm afraid this time it was a negotiation. I wanted to use Sun Dongming's incident to win over those chefs who are unhappy or disgusted with the Chefs Association."

Chen Shuren turned to look at Luo Lijin and asked, "Has Haitian Restaurant offended the Chefs Association?"

Luo Lijin smiled and said: "This is a bit interesting to say."

Following Luo Lijin's introduction, Chen Shuren and several people from other states understood.

First of all, Haitian Catering has experienced a change. Originally, Haitian Catering was founded by a top chef. However, because this top chef did not understand capital operations, when Haitian Catering grew up, the top chef was actually hired by his own company. Apart from!

But no matter how the super chefs file lawsuits, they always suffer because of the black and white contract.

The Chefs Association once tried to mediate, but was rejected by those people from Haitian Catering.

After that, the special chef died of depression a year later, and the Chefs Association no longer liked Haitian Catering. As long as they were chefs from the association, they would not enter Haitian Catering by default.

However, the people from Haitian Catering were really good at it. While poaching people, they also brought the technology from Zhongzhou to Yanzhou.

With many recipes, they really realized the assembly line production of most dishes.

Originally, it was difficult for people in Yanzhou to accept it. As a result, after a lot of money was spent on publicity, when people ate these dishes, they found that they were no different from those made by real people, and they were cheaper, so they gradually accepted it.

This practice directly angered the Chefs Association. Originally, they were tolerant of those chefs who secretly went to Haitian for part-time jobs, but later, as long as they were found, they would be removed from the Chefs Association.

Haitian Catering was also rejected by all chefs because of their practices.

Except for some chefs who were obsessed with money, other chefs would not enter Haitian.

Although Haitian has mastered many dishes, they either don’t know the recipes of some senior chefs’ specialties or can’t replicate them.

Let alone the top chefs.

So Haitian has been infiltrating senior and top chefs.

But how can people who become senior and top chefs be short of money?

So, although Haitian makes money, it can only become a mid-range catering company and cannot enter the high-end ranks.

Therefore, this time Sun Dongming's joining is definitely a victory for Haitian and a loss for the chef industry.

Not to mention Sun Dongming's status as a top chef, if Sun Dongming participates in the development of Haitian's dishes, it is possible that the dishes of senior and top chefs will become mass products in the future.

"So, Haitian Catering is still benefiting the society?"

Tang Yingcheng suddenly said.

Luo Lijin shook his head when he heard this.

"If Haitian is really like this, then it is indeed a benefit, but how could such a company do this?"

"All I can think of is that after Haitian takes away all the chefs' jobs, they will become a monopoly enterprise in Yanzhou. Once it involves monopoly, it will naturally be bad for ordinary people."

"In fact, the current relationship between Haitian and the Chefs Association is balanced. Under mutual constraints, no one dares to be presumptuous."

"Once the balance is broken, the sickle will fall."

After hearing this, Chen Shuren nodded involuntarily.

Only competition between enterprises can benefit ordinary people.

"Doesn't that mean that the Chefs Association will be finished in the future?"

Mo Zhihu suddenly said.

"I'm afraid it won't be too easy..."

Before Luo Lijin finished speaking, Yan Mingzhou suddenly walked onto the stage slowly.

Although Sun Dongming's voice was loud just now, he was a little afraid to look at Yan Mingzhou at this time.

After Yan Mingzhou glanced at him, he whispered: "Move aside, don't block the microphone."

This sentence was transmitted to the ears of everyone in the venue.

Chen Shuren raised his eyebrows slightly.

It seems that there are still variables?
