Lin Yue returned the phone to her: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Dang Qian said: "We might as well find someone to write an article to introduce in detail the difference between the 'White Lover' in our restaurant and the 'White Lover' in Gray Whale Restaurant."
Lin Yue looked at her and smiled, noncommittal.
Dang Qian felt that the look similar to that of an elder looking at a junior was a bit awkward.
"Mr. Jiang, is there any problem with doing this...?"
"When others ask questions, you are eager to cover up and explain. What is this? This is a sign of guilty conscience." Lin Yue said: "In the Internet age, what do netizens want to see? Fresh, weird, interesting... They are Do you like it when an internet celebrity restaurant is exposed for plagiarizing its dishes? Or do you like it when you go into trouble to explain to them the difference between these two dishes of 'Shiroi Koibito'?"
"What you mean is..."
"Yes, this matter has an explanation, but it does not completely solve the problem."
"Then...then we just let Gray Whale Restaurant throw dirty water and do nothing?"
"Yes, of course we have to do it, but what we have to do is not to explain, but to add fuel to the fire."
"Add fuel to the fire?"
Dang Qian doesn't understand what this means?
Lin Yue didn't bother to explain to her, so he said "You'll know tomorrow", turned around and left the office without saying much.
Dang Qian thought and thought, racking her brains and still not understanding what he wanted to do?
…
The next day.
Seafood suppliers moved boxes of lobsters, scallops, oysters, oysters and tuna into the back kitchen as usual.
Dang Qian finished counting the quantity, issued the receipt to the freightman, sent the people away, and then went to the front hall. At a glance, she saw Boss Jiang and several online media reporters walking into the restaurant from the outside. Two of them were still holding bags in their hands. digital camera.
"Excuse me, Mr. Jiang, what do you think about that article?"
“I read the article on Sina.com. I don’t want to explain more about whether Reef Restaurant’s ‘White Lover’ copied Chef Lu’s recipe from Gray Whale Restaurant. I just want to emphasize one point, that is, Reef Restaurant dares to put this dish on the Go to the menu for guests to order, and the menu of Gray Whale Restaurant...as far as I know, there is no such dish. If 'White Lover' is Chef Lu's specialty, why don't they serve it to guests? How to cook a dish? There is a saying that goes well, no one learns enough, he who masters it comes first. The same goes for being a chef. The most important thing is to constantly study new recipes, improve your cooking skills, and at the same time provide customers with the ultimate service. , the author of the article can find a hundred reasons to prove that our chef plagiarized the creativity of Chef Lu of Gray Whale Restaurant, then we can also find a hundred reasons to prove that the "White Lover" of Reef Restaurant and Chef Lu's "White Lover" is not the same thing. Is this kind of rhetorical confrontation meaningful? I don't think so. This kind of use of the Internet to spread dirty words and slander is despicable and obscene in my opinion. If the author of the article is not convinced, I will He can let Chef Lu, whom he supports, compete in cooking skills with Mr. Steven from our restaurant to prove his reputation. As a craftsman, you eat by your craftsmanship and speak in the industry by your craftsmanship."
Dang Qian looked shocked as she watched her boss talk in front of those online media reporters.
He really didn't give an explanation. Not only did he not explain, he also escalated the situation and turned a "White Lover" confrontation into a cooking competition.
This... I really don't know whether to say that he is arrogant and domineering, or that he is afraid that the world will not be in chaos?
Cashier Fangfang hid behind the cashier and whispered, "Mr. Jiang is so handsome."
Dang Qian glared at her angrily.
Twenty minutes later, the online media reporters left with satisfaction, and Dang Qian quickly invited her boss to the office upstairs.
"Mr. Jiang, what are you doing?"
"You still can't see it now?"
Dang Qian said with a hint of uncertainty: "Hype?"
Lin Yue sat down on the sofa: "This is the point. Jiang Lai came up with this trick. Speaking of which, I have to thank her. At the beginning, we used the Internet celebrity economy, but Internet celebrities are either beautiful little Girls, young men who love running, dancing and showing off, this group of people can indeed support the consumption of Reef Restaurant and have a certain effect on increasing the popularity. However, the weakness of this group of people is also obvious, that is, lack of stamina, because they It’s too easy to be attracted by new things. One day, I open a Western restaurant and people are rushing to check in. Tomorrow, I open a Thai restaurant and people are checking in. The day after tomorrow, it may be a Japanese restaurant.”
Dang Qian nodded, thinking what he said made sense. She had never thought about it anyway.
"But if Jiang Lai takes advantage of the good opportunity to attack us to escalate the confrontation and make a big move, haha, who wouldn't want to watch the excitement? Just like some cooking competition programs on TV, it can be said that everyone loves to watch it, both young and old. Yes, Gray Whale Restaurant accused Reef Restaurant of plagiarizing ideas. The owner of Reef Restaurant responded directly and asked for a duel. How about it? Is it story-telling, interesting, suspenseful and expectant? Not only will this Let more people be interested in Reef Restaurant. Even those who don’t eat Western food very much will want to see the results. This can also be a cost-free advertisement. The online media will get traffic and we will get attention. , during the waning period of popularity one week after the opening, there was another wave of discussion, so I would like to say that I have to thank Jiang Lai for this matter. If she hadn’t fallen into the trap, the subsequent chess moves would not have been so easy.”
"Mr. Jiang..."
Dang Qian didn't know how to describe her current mood. Even though she saw her every day, the sense of mystery about her boss not only did not decrease, but also increased day by day.
"In this case, doesn't it mean that it is also helping to promote the Gray Whale restaurant?"
"Can the effect of hype be the same between a new store and an old store?" Lin Yue added: "In addition, don't you know there is a saying that the higher you praise, the harder you fall?"
"Mr. Jiang..." Dang Qian hesitated to speak.
Lin Yue waved his hand: "I know what you are worried about. Have you heard about Steven and Lu Yuan's defeat in a duel? Are you worried that he will lose to Lu Yuan? Don't worry, Steven is no longer the Amon he used to be. ,and……"
"And what?"
"You'll know later."
Lin Yue stopped talking, picked up a piece of Dove chocolate from the fruit plate on the table, threw it into his mouth, stood up and left.
Dang Qian looked at the candy wrappers placed on the table and fell into deep thought.
Whether Steven's cooking skills have improved or not is unclear for a while, but his Chinese level has indeed improved a lot.
Now that Mr. Jiang has launched a counterattack, it depends on what Gray Whale Restaurant means.
…
The next day, the interview video of the online media reporter’s interview with the general manager of Reef Restaurant appeared in online communities such as the food section of above-scale forums, Douban groups, Zhihu circles, and Shanghai Tieba. Portals such as Sina and NetEase also used text and pictures to The interview content was published in the form, and some self-media accounts, such as official accounts, Baijia accounts, and Toutiao accounts, even conducted in-depth reports on the matter, and some people even used it to make bets.
Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that there is hype behind this incident, but what does it matter? As a melon-eater, we are also happy to watch the excitement and add some spice to our ordinary life.
Correspondingly, the personal grievances between Lu Yuan and Steven also spread like wildfire through various channels.
As a defeated general, the French chef is now launching a new challenge, or in a way that is almost telling the world, what does it mean? The answer is simple, this time he has a winning chance!
On the other hand, the news about Gray Whale Restaurant is a bit puzzling.
When the article was prepared before, the content was extremely offensive and insulting. Now that the Reef Restaurant has drawn a line, they have languished. Even the reporter from Sina has disappeared and has not dared to publish an article on the website for several days. .
Gray Whale Restaurant.
Second floor balcony.
"Lu Yuan, you said you...don't you make it difficult for me? The article has been published and the words have been released. Now Reef Restaurant has forced us to the wall. How can you give up your choice? When you give up your choice, my face looks like this Where else should I put it?" Feng Yufang was so anxious that he wanted to slap himself.
Why do Sina reporters and Gray Whale Restaurant act like turtles? The answer is simple. Lu Yuan does not agree to compete with Steven.
"Does this make sense? No, it makes no sense at all."
"How could it be meaningless? Firstly, I want to win for you, and secondly, it is also for the good of Gray Whale Restaurant. As the chef, of course you have a reason to represent the restaurant. In this way...as long as you nod and agree, I will get it. Exit Steven, the restaurant will reward you with one month’s salary.”
"Haha, I don't have the time or the inclination to go to the ring and be looked at like a monkey."
"What do you mean by being treated like a monkey? This is related to your honor, your honor in Shanghai's Western food industry." Feng Yufang hesitated for a moment and said provocatively: "You don't have the confidence to beat Steven, right?"
