Chapter 118 – Young Entrepreneur (?????)
When the car started, Jing Yunzhao’s expression turned a little dark, but she was used to being patient, thus she did not express much dissatisfaction. After all, it was related to her medical skills.
Although she has not been studying medicine for a long time, she had the ability. However, due to her age and identity, she wasn’t able to treat a patient. Even if it was only a small opportunity right now, she did not want to let it go.
Jing Yunzhao was sitting shotgun, while the two men were sitting behind. Li Shaoyun seemed sloppy and irresponsible, but the frequency of him speaking suddenly became lesser.
Sitting by the side, Du Lin couldn’t resist feeling awkward as he stole glances at the people. He tried to alleviate the mood and laughed as he asked, “Student, what’s your name?”
It should be said that with this female student’s appearance, she should be considered on the standard of being the school belle. She was thin, had a cold attitude, and even had a lofty aura. Was it possible that she was also some rich daughter from an influential family in the capital?
Her voice was indifferent as she answered, “Jing Yunzhao.”
Du Lin anxiously pulled out a business card and introduced himself, “My name is Du Lin, a local. You can call me Du-Ge or Lin-Ge. Since we’re already acquainted, I’ll drop the formalities. Calling you Student feels very distant, I’ll just call you Yunzhao.”
Du Lin had on a face of trying to please her and was very passionate.
Jing Yunzhao nodded politely and took a look at the name card in her hands.
Surprise flashed through her eyes.
This person, Du Lin, was also very famous in her past life. He was a youth entrepreneur who ran a moderately-scaled restaurant. However, even though the career of this person was on the rise, the popularity of the branding he established was only limited to Ning City. When she read it on the newspaper, she even envied that this person was young and promising, and speculated that his future would be immeasurable.
However, looking at the information written on the business card, she could tell that Du Lin’s ‘Yu Tian Xian Restaurant’ had only just begun in this life.
Jing Yunzhao looked at these two with suspicion in her eyes. Logically speaking, Li Shaoyun’s ’Tian Xiang Lou’ should have some sort of conflict with Yu Tian Xian, but these two were actually friends?
T/N: For past readers, you might remember him being the owner of Xiang Hai Lou/Restaurant, but the author changed it to Tian Xiang Lou, and continues to use this for the next 10 chapters. So for now, I’ll continue using Tian Xiang Lou unless otherwise
Feeling the suspicious gaze of Jing Yunzhao, Li Shaoyun’s mouth smiled slightly: “Du Lin’s family’s ancestors had once been an imperial chef. Complying with their family training, their skills and secret recipes cannot be spread or sold. Although Tian Xiang Lou is high-end, the dishes are not particularly unique, and the service is more all-rounded. The two are not the same.”
Simply put, Yu Tian Xian only provided meals and did not include accommodation. While Li Shaoyun’s Tian Xiang Lou included entertainment, rest, catering and other aspects of one-stop service.
“I intend to create the dishes in the county, before going to Ning City to expand, then spread it to all parts of the country and even overseas through chain management. I want to make it so that everyone would first think of Yu Tian Xian the moment someone talks about food.” Du Lin teased.
“I believe in you.”
In contrary, Du Lin was dazed, “Children truly believe in everything. My goal is still very difficult to achieve. Just like right now, I have encountered a big problem. Yu Tian Xian has enough capital and has the best location. We also have unique recipes, but we don’t have the best ingredients.”
Hua Ning County was located near mountains and rivers. It was reasonable to say that the quality of the ingredients was good, and although there were not many toxins in the food, compared to the level of the royal banquet, there was a huge gap. No matter how he did it, his father would shake his head and sigh, disdaining it in every way possible.
If he were to use his relationship with Li Shaoyun to import the best things from other places, then the price would be unacceptable.
After Jing Yunzhao listened, she carefully kept the business card as light shined in her pupils.
Li Shaoyun’s move of coercing her into the car wasn’t entirely a bad thing.
According to her knowledge, all the ingredients Du Lin had used were known to be first-class products selected from all over the world in her past life. Unfortunately, the cost was extremely high, which led to the food of Yu Tian Xian to be famous, but not grounded. One of the reasons it was famous was its sky-high price. However, the average person was unable to afford such a feast, and thus limitations of the business appeared.
