C143 Washington Crisis
If he guessed correctly, this matter was related to this newly opened restaurant.
As he was thinking, he heard the sound of high heels hitting the ground. Xu Fann looked up and saw Qin Lan walking towards him.
Qin Lan was a little worried, but when she saw Xu Fann, she forced a smile.
"Xu Fann, what's wrong?" You miss your sister? You're in a hurry to call your sister over? "
Qin Lan was still the same Qin Lan. She sat opposite him and started to tease him.
Xu Fann rolled his eyes and said, "Sister Lan, stop pretending. I already know the situation. Tell me, what exactly is the situation?"
It had to be known that Hua Mansion Hotel's business was also linked to his own.
If the business of the government failed, wouldn't that mean the dishes he grew wouldn't be welcome?
In that case, wouldn't he be bankrupt along with Qin Lan?
This was something neither Xu Fann nor Qin Lan wanted to see.
Now that Xu Fann already knew, there was no need for Qin Lan to continue hiding it. She took a deep breath and explained.
"Xu Fann, do you remember a while ago, there was a new restaurant in the county?"
Qin Lan suddenly asked about this. Xu Fann nodded and had some impression of her.
Although he hadn't come to the county city often these days, he had heard many people talk about it.
At that time, Xu Fann did not care about it at all. His food and Hua Mansion Hotel's reputation, Xu Fann did not feel pressured at all.
However, if he would listen, it seemed like the business in the Hua Manor was being suppressed by him …
Qin Lan glanced at Xu Fann and sighed. "The ones who stole our business are them."
"This …"
Xu Fann suddenly felt a bit confused. He didn't really understand what kind of strength this newly opened restaurant had to be able to compete with the Hua Manor …
Qin Lan took a deep breath and said, "Xu Fann, the new restaurant is called the Herculean Food Restaurant. The controller of this restaurant is the Hercules Restaurant Group."
The glutton restaurant group was very famous, even Xu Fann had heard of it.
After Qin Lan introduced the place, she continued:
"A while ago, I went to an exchange meeting. I thought it was just a normal experience exchange meeting in the catering industry, so I didn't pay much attention to it. However, it wasn't until later that I understood the real purpose of this exchange meeting."
"What's your real purpose?"
Hearing Xu Fann's question, Qin Lan let out a sigh and said, "The real purpose of this exchange is actually the exchange where the Vanguard Restaurant uses to buy other restaurants. In order to annex these hotels, Vanguard organized this so-called experiential learning exchange and invited the person in charge of the top restaurant in the province over so they can discuss the purchase."
"In order to become the biggest restaurant mogul in the province, this group of people didn't hold anything back. In order to annex everyone else, they used all sorts of methods to coerce others, allowing them to successfully purchase quite a few companies …"
Qin Lan couldn't help but sigh as she spoke, "I didn't have a good impression of the food, so I rejected their offer. Qin Lan sighed as she said," I didn't have a good impression of the food, so I rejected their offer.
"I'm afraid that before long, all of our guests will be taken away by them. When that happens, Xu Fann, the consequences will be unimaginable …"
Xu Fann took a deep breath and nodded. If he continued like this, the consequences would be severe indeed.
If a restaurant had no guests, no matter how delicious the dishes were, sooner or later, it would go out of business.
"Then sister Lan, now do you know why they are so popular?"2
Xu Fann felt that the reason the Grand Foodie Hotel was so popular wasn't because of outstanding ingredients like the Hua Manor.
Could it be … The gourmet cook is very good? Could it be that the most common ingredients could be cooked into the most delicious dishes?
Xu Fann shook his head. If that was the case, then the chef was too amazing.
Qin Lan shook her head and said, "I don't know the specific reason, but it's certain that the taste of the dishes are similar to ours."
"What?"
"That's impossible, right?"
Xu Fann shook his head. This was simply too unbelievable. One had to think about it, the ingredients he grew were several times more delicious than ordinary ingredients!
Even if it was cooked by an ordinary person, it would still be extremely delicious, let alone a chef from the Hua Manor.
Xu Fann was truly unable to accept the fact that the delicacy of a luxury dish was almost the same as the one in Hua Manor.
"Oh?" Why are so few people eating in such a big restaurant? "
At this time, he heard a disdainful laugh coming from the door.
Xu Fann frowned and looked towards the door. He saw a man in a suit swaggering into the restaurant with a few of his lackeys.
"Tsk tsk, the decorations are quite good. However, I don't think this taste is even half as good as that of glutton. It's a pity that today's glutton is full. Otherwise, why would we need to come to this crappy place?"
Xu Fann couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. It was obvious whether this person was complaining or advertising.
Looking towards Qin Lan, Xu Fann smiled and said, "Lan, if I'm not mistaken, these guys should be the one who's entrusted to the Hercules Restaurant, right?"
Qin Lan nodded with a wry smile and said, "That's right, they are indeed gluttonous people. Look, the one in the front, wearing a suit, is the Herculean Chief's right-hand man, Zhou Hsingyun."
"It's laughable that you don't want someone as big as him as you. Xu Fann, he didn't come here today as a shield."
As she said this, Qin Lan's face gradually turned ugly. She looked at Zhou Hsingyun in the distance and noticed that he had also noticed her. She immediately became nervous.
"Oh?" Isn't this our beautiful boss, Qin Lan? "What, are you eating with your man?"
Zhou Hsingyun didn't care about whether Qin Lan agreed or not. He pulled out the stool next to Qin Lan and sat down.
Qin Lan frowned and said coldly, "Zhou Hsingyun, I don't think I asked you to sit down, right?"
Zhou Hsingyun shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "Hehe, if there's none, then there's none. Boss Qin, you have a restaurant here, so it's normal for me to sit down as a guest, right?"
"Hmph."
Qin Lan snorted coldly and said, "Speak, what business do you have with me?"
Qin Lan was too lazy to waste her breath on him, so she directly got down to business.
Zhou Hsingyun chuckled and said, "Chairman Qin is a smart person. Alright, I won't waste any more time."
