Chapter 1506 A Thorny Problem, Lack of Medicated Diet Chefs!
Countless people representing various domestic investments came to seek cooperation. He Xue received them with a beaming face and never turned down anyone.
Unlike before…
This time, He Xue did not place herself in a prominent position. Instead, she was in active contact with those representatives sent by great capital forces.
She even considered issues like the practicalities of financing her plans.
In He Xue’s eyes…
The brand of high-end medicated diets should be a catering brand open to the public. Staying open to the outside world was the most important thing for such brands. Each sum of capital sending over a representative might be a pathway for their brand of high-end medicated diets.
One should know that the circle of elites in Huaxia was not big. They couldn’t afford to offend these powerful and wealthy talents before obtaining any achievements.
After all, she still needed to depend on these people to build brand value.
The entry of any capital force would bring a large customer group to the medicated diet brand. Only by grasping all these groups could they quickly establish this medicated diet brand.
Of course…
He Xue was not trying to curry favor with them. These rich people behind the capital forces had the same idea as her.
The major capital forces learned about the Renyi Group’s plan through the news.
These people with power were shocked.
It was clear to all of them. If the Renyi Group implemented the plan well, medicated diet catering would grow into a huge industry!
Therefore…
When these people heard the news, the major capital forces came to them for investment!
Both sides were willing to cooperate.
Though the Renyi Group had just put forward the idea, the medicated diet brand had been estimated to be worth 10 billion yuan.
If someone else announced the plan, others would sneer at it with contempt.
If the Renyi Group made this plan, they would take it seriously.
The Renyi Group had technologies, medicinal herbs, capital, talents, and ideas. Most importantly, it had Fang Qiu!
Given these conditions, this plan was no longer a bold assumption but a gold mine waiting to be excavated!
After a series of discussions…
He Xue returned to the cultivation base in the first place.
She rushed straight to Fang Qiu’s office with all materials.
“You’re back so soon?”
Fang Qiu asked in surprise at the sight of He Xue.
“I think I’m too slow.”
He Xue shook her head and said, “Too many people had come to me. If I talked with more people, it would become a crowdfunding project. After all, it’s our plan. We can’t share all profits with those capital forces, right?”
“Seemingly, a lot of people like this plan.”
Fang Qiu grinned.
“Anyone fond of it can be our clients.”
He Xue put the documents on Fang Qiu’s desk and continued, “Many major capital forces want to invest. I pick up some reliable and well-behaved ones to raise funds.”
“As for the rest, I need to look deeper into them. So far, I have raised a large sum of money from major capital forces through financing. Accordingly, the estimated value of this medicated diet project has exceeded 10 billion yuan, and it may continue to rise in the future!”
When Fang Qiu heard that…
“So much?”
He was astonished.
“Our Renyi Group has become a well-established firm with an unrivaled reputation. As long as our group wants to do some business, all the major domestic capital forces will come to us as soon as possible. Even those foreign capital forces want to take a piece of our pie.”
He Xue shook her head with a smile and said, “At this time, we published a brilliant and lucrative plan. These people will certainly do everything possible to cooperate with us?”
“That’s a good thing.”
With a nod, Fang Qiu said, “These people will bring us investments and a tremendous amount of consumption. Although they could get some dividends, they would unknowingly advertise our medicated diet brand for free.”
“That’s right.”
He Xue immediately nodded and said with a smile, “That was why I usually would not refuse their offers. Even if I had to, I took a humble and moderate stance toward them. Never had I embarrassed any of them. But…”
“What’s the matter?”
Fang Qiu asked.
“We’re short of hands right now.”
He Xue gave a bitter smile and said, “We urgently need chefs who can develop good dishes. I have invited many chefs to this press conference, but they have never made any medicated diet. Worse still, they are not willing to start from scratch. After all, the theory of Chinese Medicine is complicated for them.
“I’ve talked to them about it in detail. Since they have already made a name for themselves as chefs, they are unwilling to make medicated diets. After all, it is an inherently risky career. Once anything goes wrong, their reputation will be ruined. They will never be able to recover after such a setback!”
As she analyzed…
Fang Qiu also nodded understandingly and said with a frown, “That’s a problem.”
“To produce the best medicated diet in the country, chefs need to know the basic theory of traditional Chinese Medicine. Besides, they must understand many more professional things like the property of medicine, the feasible combinations of every kind of medicinal herb and different food ingredients, and the detailed cooking methods for medicinal herbs.”
They pondered over this issue.
To become a great chef of medicated diets, one must grasp many more complicated abilities than cooking skills.
Because this job was highly demanding…
Many famous chefs didn’t dare to try it casually.
This way…
It became much more difficult to find a suitable chef.
“Go on looking for chefs. I’ll contact Yang Ningyuan and Li Qihua. They’ve been in the high-society circles for so long. So, they must have met many more excellent chefs than us. It shouldn’t be difficult for them to recommend a few chefs.”
Fang Qiu said.
“That’s all we can do now.”
He Xue nodded in agreement.
Afterward…
Fang Qiu contacted Yang Ningyuan and Li Qihua. Together, they made full use of their connections to look for great chefs.
He Xue also utilized the He family’s connections in the capital to search for chefs.
…
In Huaxia…
A small manor was located somewhere in the countryside.
The scenery here, with green mountains and blue rivers, had great charm. The climate here was pleasant.
A young student with a backpack jumped off a minibus. He took a deep breath of fresh air as he stepped on the muddy road. Then, he looked at the village hidden in the mountains one kilometer from the road. That place looked like a fictitious land of peace.
He could clearly see a medium-sized quadrangle dwelling in the small village from a distance.
There was a golden plaque hanging before the courtyard gate.
When the student saw the courtyard…
He smiled knowingly and looked down at the news on his mobile phone. Immediately, he walked toward the quadrangle dwelling.
Upon a closer look…
The news on his mobile phone was actually the high-end medicated diet project that the Renyi Group had announced!
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Upon arriving at the courtyard gate, the students hit the copper ring hard against the gate.
“Who is it?”
Someone shouted out the question.
“Grandpa, it’s me.”
The student answered aloud.
After a short while…
An elder with braids came over to open the door with a bright smile. Seeing the student before the door, he instantly asked, “Aren’t you supposed to be at school now? You must have cut your classes. What are you doing here?”
“Don’t you know I miss you too much?”
The student immediately entered the room, took the old man’s hand, and said, “Grandpa, I’m here today to recommend you for a job.”
“Oh?”
The old man was stunned and asked with a smile, “I’m old. Why do you think I need a job? I don’t even have time to take care of my yard. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll be exhausted?”
“I promise you won’t!”
The student replied promptly, “This job will ensure you can live a long and healthy life. Besides, I can visit you often. See? It will take me a few hours to come here by bus.”
“But this is the dwelling that the emperor awarded to our ancestors. It’s a great honor!”
The old man put on a stern face and lectured him.
“I know.”
The student smirked and said, “Here’s the thing. Several generations of our ancestors had been imperial chefs, and they were all solely responsible for the medicated diets of emperors. You ask me to learn Chinese Medicine because you want me to inherit the skills handed down in our family. Am I right?”
“Mm.”
The elder nodded contentedly.
“Now, there is a great opportunity for our family to make a comeback. Grandpa, will you go?”
The student asked.
“Tell me about it.”
The old man answered.
“Now, Huaxia’s largest Chinese Medicine group is also the best firm with a social conscience. It plans to open a top-level domestic restaurant with a medicated diet brand. With its exacting specifications, the restaurant will be good enough to serve emperors in ancient times. However, they struggle to find chefs who can make top-notch medicated diets.”
Speaking of this, the student chuckled and added, “As soon as I saw the news, I thought this job was just right for you. It’s time for you to come back and achieve something big!”
“I’m old. I won’t go.”
Hearing this, the old man immediately waved his hand and said, “I’d better spend the last few decades peacefully in this courtyard, a reward from an emperor.”
“Grandpa…”
The students tried to persuade him.
But no matter what…
The old man was unwilling to go.
In this case, the student had no choice but to search for the official email address of the Renyi Group with his mobile phone. Then, he sent an email briefly introducing his family condition and his grandfather.
He was looking forward to a reply from the Renyi Group.
As a result…
In no mood to go back to school, the student chose to wait in this courtyard.
After waiting for a whole day, he received no reply.
He felt helpless and disappointed to the extreme.
“Grandpa, please think about it again. If you agree, we can leave together.”
Seeing this, the student felt disappointed and hopeless. Thus, he could only give one last piece of advice. If it didn’t work, he might as well return to school.
“No need to think about it. I won’t go.”
The old man turned him down again.
“Then, alright.”
The student allowed himself a wry smile and said, “Then please take care of yourself. I’ll go back to school first.”
“Hold on.”
The elder came out of the kitchen with a lunch box and said, “Take it with you. Consider it as your snack to eat between meals. It’s good for your health.”
“Okay.”
The student packed up the lunch box and turned to leave.
Surprisingly…
As soon as he opened the gate of the courtyard…
“Boom…”
A roar of the engine could be heard.
Over there…
An inconspicuous car stopped before the quadrangle courtyard.
The student was stunned.
He had to look twice to see what was going on.
It happened that…
The car door opened.
A man and a woman got out of the car.
With a closer look…
The student was astonished to see He Xue, the Renyi Group’s executive director, and… Fang Qiu!
When the student recognized the two people…
He was utterly stunned.
“Are you Li Yunguo?”
He Xue looked at the student with a smile and asked.
“I, I am.”
The student suddenly stammered. At once, he repeatedly nodded like a chicken pecking rice and said, “Yes, Li Yunguo. I’m Li Yunguo.”
“Thank you for your email to our group. I’ve already read it, but I thought it inappropriate to reply to your email. Therefore, I invited Fang Qiu, our adviser on Chinese Medicine. We come here to see you and your grandfather.”
As she spoke, He Xue closed the door and walked over with Fang Qiu.
“Please come in.”
The student named Li Yunguo quickly opened the door. Surprised and excited, he said, “My grandfather is inside. I’ll take you to him.”
