"Of course. That's not a problem. Our food city is a combination of business and accommodation." Tian Yi nodded with a smile.
Then, she translated Gabriel's request to Wu Yungui.
Wu Yungui said to Tian Yi, "Tell me how to do it."
"Okay, Mr. Wu." Tian Yi nodded at Wu Yungui first and then turned to Gabriel.
"Mr. Yanda, may I ask if you are a French citizen?" Tian Yi asked with a smile.
"Of course." Gabriel raised his eyebrows and nodded as if it was a matter of course. French people had French citizenship and Huaxia people had Huaxia citizenship.
"In Huaxia, there are requirements for foreigners to buy houses," Tian Yi said slowly and seriously.
"What requirements?" Gabriel had a bad feeling.
"I'll tell you in detail," Tian Yi said.
"Okay." Gabriel nodded and looked at Tian Yi with his blue eyes.
"As a foreigner, the first requirement is identification. You need to prepare a passport and a residence permit for foreigners. If you don't have a residence permit, you need to provide the Chinese translation of your passport issued by a notary public in Huaxia," Tian Yi said in detail.
But the first one was enough to make Gabriel feel like he was in trouble.
Tian Yi continued, "You also need the notarial certificate of the sales contract, the property appraisal report, the property mapping certificate, and so on."
"Besides, you also need a series of certificates such as income certificate, education certificate, and credit certificate. Of course, our country is quite efficient," Tian Yi said with a smile.
"Oh, my god. That's so troublesome." Gabriel felt the brown sugar wine dumpling he had just eaten was not so delicious anymore.
"Yes. Buying a house is a big deal for us Huaxia people, so we need to prepare more materials," Tian Yi said.
"You've successfully dissuaded me from buying a house." Gabriel shrugged, but in his heart, he wanted to give up.
However, Gabriel did not stand up and leave immediately. He was not stupid. Since so many people came to see him, they must not be here just to tell him about the procedure for foreigners to buy a house. There must be something else.
And he was waiting for them to speak first.
"Tell him we have a simple way," Wu Yungui interrupted immediately.
Tian Yi nodded, then turned to Gabriel and said, "I've just introduced Mr. Yinda to you. This is Boss Wu of our Gourmet City."
Tian Yi turned around and gestured for Gabriel to look at Wu Yungui. Wu Yungui nodded in a friendly manner.
"Hello." Gabriel nodded in greeting, but this time he spoke in awkward Chinese.
"Hello, Mr. Enda." Wu Yungui nodded in greeting.
"Here's the thing. Mr. Wu knows that you want to open a branch in the Gourmet City. In that case, why don't you directly become the head chef of our Gourmet City?" Tian Yi revealed Wu Yungui's purpose smilingly.
"Become the head chef of your restaurant?" Gabriel raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Yes, we can give you a generous salary and shares in the restaurant. Of course, we will also provide you with housing." Tian Yi translated Wu Yungui's words to Gabriel.
"Sounds good." Gabriel nodded, but he didn't agree right away.
"Of course. As a matter of fact, you are the second Michelin 3-star chief chef to stay in our gourmet city." Wu Yungui threw out his first bargaining chip.
"The second? How many head chefs do you need in your Gourmet City? "Gabriel asked with slight dissatisfaction.
"No, no, no. Mr. Enda, you misunderstood. The first one opened a branch, not the head chef of our hotel restaurant," Wu Yungui said.
"Oh? He opened a branch? Then how did he do it? After all, this lady just said it's very difficult for foreigners to open a restaurant. "Gabriel pointed at Tian Yi who had been translating at the same time and asked.
"Mr. Dean Bradbury started preparing half a year ago, before the Gourmet City went on sale." Wu Yungui said smilingly.
"Dean Bradbury? The youngest Michelin 3-star chief chef in France and the second youngest in history? Is he that Dean? "Obviously, Gabriel had heard of Dean's name.
"Yes. He's the Dean you mentioned, Mr. Enda." Wu Yungui nodded affirmatively.
"I didn't expect him to come here." Gabriel frowned and thought.
"Yes. It's said that it's because of Head Chef Chu's words and that Boss Yuan." Wu Yungui was not stingy with his bargaining chip.
"So that's the reason." Gabriel nodded, indicating that he understood.
Wu Yungui nodded and did not interrupt. Instead, he gave Gabriel time to think.
In fact, even if Wu Yungui did not say it, Gabriel could guess the reason. Apart from Chu Xiao and Yuan Zhou, he could not think of any other reason that could attract Dean.
As a rival of Chu Xiao, even he had been defeated by Yuan Zhou's cooking. After coming here, he learned that Chu Xiao would pass by Chengdu at least a dozen times a year. The length of time he stayed varied, but it was easier to see Chu Xiao here than in France.
About five minutes later, Gabriel looked up at Wu Yungui and asked in fluent French, "What's the salary Mr. Wu is offering?"
After hearing Tian Yi's translation of Gabriel's words, Wu Yungui's smile widened. He said directly, "An annual salary of 10 million, a 3% share of the restaurant's dividends, and a villa in the food city."
This was really a good offer. The total salary of an ordinary 3-star Michelin chef was about the same as that of an elite in Silicon Valley. Of course, the annual salary was in US dollars.
Wu Yungui's 10 million was much higher than that. Moreover, there was a 3% share of the restaurant's dividends, which was enough to move Gabriel.
"I can see that you are sincere, Mr. Wu," Gabriel said with emotion.
"Of course. I have always respected people with cooking skills." Wu Yungui nodded with a smile, showing his respect.
"Thank you. I think the price is acceptable. Thank you, Mr. Wu, for giving me such a job." Gabriel didn't take much time to consider this time and then agreed directly.
"Miss Tian will be in charge of the specific contract negotiation. I look forward to a pleasant cooperation with you," Wu Yungui nodded the head and then said.
"Of course." Gabriel nodded the head.
Then, the two of them stood up and shook hands with each other, indicating that the cooperation this time was successful.
After talking about the main business, Wu Yungui naturally left the parlor with his assistant, leaving Tian Yi and the contract that had been prepared long ago for the two of them to make the final discussion.
"I feel that it's not so difficult to invite a 3-star Michelin chef." The assistant couldn't help sighing with emotion.
"Did you think of Boss Yuan?" Wu Yungui said smilingly.
"Yes, Mr. Wu. Boss Yuan had an annual salary of 50 million plus dividends at the beginning. Such an amazing salary." The assistant touched his head and said embarrassedly.
"Ho Ho. The two of them are different. Boss Yuan has a bright future." Wu Yungui looked at the vaguely magnificent food city outside.
Not waiting for the assistant to ask, Wu Yungui said again.
"Let's wait and see. The future of our food city probably depends on how big Boss Yuan's future is." Wu Yungui revealed a faint expectation with a huge ambition in his eyes.
