The layout of the venue this time was completely different from that of the individual cooking exhibition last time. In the large banquet hall, there was only a stage in the front.
The logo of the Green Chef's Society was pasted on the edge of the stage, as well as the warning words of the Society. There were also many small objects, all of which represented the identity of the host of the conference. These were all arranged by Qin Kaili and several other people.
In the center of the stage was a microphone and a podium. The entire banquet hall was filled with chairs with names pasted on the back. Now, the chairs were already full of people.
These people were naturally the young chefs of the Green Chef's Society who came from all over the country. Each of them was dressed in a snow-white chef's uniform. Even the hats on their heads were worn meticulously.
Some were tall, some were short, some were fat and some were thin. Some were handsome and some were not so handsome. Without exception, they all looked forward solemnly.
"I'm a little nervous this time. I can see Head Chef Yuan with my own eyes." Several chefs in the front row turned their heads and said to the people beside them nervously.
"You should call him chairman. I'm also a little nervous."
"Hurry up and check if the brim of my hat is wet. I feel a lot of sweat on my forehead. Chengdu is just too hot." The chef who said that came from Wuhan, one of the three big furnaces.
"Let's not talk about this. I just want to know what Chairman Yuan is going to say this time." At that time, someone said.
"What will he say?" Someone asked with puzzlement.
"Of course he's going to take a disciple. Chairman Yuan only has one disciple. "Immediately, someone said expectantly," That Japanese guy wanted to take him as his disciple last time. Don't even think about it. "
The chefs discussed in a low voice, saying all kinds of things. However, the words of this group of young chefs were very respectful to Yuan Zhou.
At the back of the banquet hall were the media reporters invited by the Green Chef's Society. Those people aimed their cameras at the entire banquet hall. Of course, most of the cameras were aimed at the podium.
Actually, some of these reporters were invited by the Green Chef's Society themselves. Many of them applied to come after hearing that this was Yuan Zhou's inaugural speech.
Out of caution, however, the Green Chef's Society still screened them carefully before sending invitations to these reporters.
Moreover, it was stated in advance that Yuan Zhou still wouldn't accept individual interviews this time. Even so, there were still a lot of media reporters.
After all, Yuan Zhou was the number one chef in the country and had a lot of praise in foreign countries.
When the hour hand reached ten o 'clock, Yuan Zhou stepped onto the stage on time and walked to the podium unhurriedly with empty hands.
Yes, Yuan Zhou had memorized all the plans he had written. Of course, this included the contents of the inaugural speech.
As soon as Yuan Zhou went on stage, the whispers of discussion immediately quieted down. Without anyone's guidance, the entire banquet hall became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yuan Zhou." Yuan Zhou's opening remarks were simple and direct.
The people sitting below also responded with respect, "Hello, President Yuan."
"Thank you for coming all the way here to listen to my inaugural speech." Yuan Zhou nodded again to express his gratitude.
The atmosphere was still very warm, saying things like "You're welcome", "It's not hard at all", "We're very willing to come and watch" and so on.
Only after the answer came to an end did Yuan Zhou continue to speak.
Yuan Zhou's clear voice was transmitted to everyone's ears through the microphone. He was delivering the inaugural speech earnestly.
However, the length of the inaugural speech was only about 1,000 words. Therefore, Yuan Zhou finished the speech very soon.
After the speech, Zhou Shijie, Liao Yue, the vice president of the Green Chef Alliance, and Secretary Qin Kaili, who was holding the tray, handed the document of the president of the Green Chef Alliance to Yuan Zhou on the stage.
The document was handed to Yuan Zhou by Zhou Shijie in person, which was both solemn and in line with Yuan Zhou's identity.
Actually, the document should be handed to Yuan Zhou by the former president of the Green Chef Alliance. However, that person's reputation in the culinary circle was even lower than that of Yuan Zhou's apprentice, Engineer Cheng. Naturally, he dared not do it.
Therefore, Zhou Shijie, the president of the China Chief Chefs' Alliance, handed over the document.
"Now, I announce that Mr. Yuan Zhou is officially the president of the Young Chefs' Alliance." Zhou Shijie announced to the audience.
"Clap Clap Clap Clap". Thunderous applause and continuous flashes at the end of the banquet hall broke out immediately. Yuan Zhou nodded to the audience with the document in his hand.
After the applause lasted for one minute, Yuan Zhou raised his hand and pressed it down, "I want to take this opportunity to announce a plan."
Hearing that Yuan Zhou had something to announce, the young chefs pricked up their ears and began to listen carefully.
And they couldn't help feeling excited. The current goal of these young chefs was that Yuan Zhou could accept them as his apprentice. After all, the incident of a foreign famous chef worshiping Yuan Zhou as his apprentice in public gave them a sense of crisis.
With such a secret thought, everyone looked at Yuan Zhou with scorching eyes. Fortunately, Yuan Zhou was used to this kind of look.
To be honest, although there were many people here, the lethality of the look was not as good as that of Wuhai who hadn't eaten enough.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou didn't care about it at all and said straightforwardly, "I want to hold a Young Chefs' Exchange Conference so that I can know your current cooking level and then I can put forward suggestions for common progress."
Yuan Zhou said that quite solemnly as he glanced at everyone.
And everyone who was glanced at by Yuan Zhou all puffed out their chests and looked at Yuan Zhou expectantly.
Of course, they didn't want to make common progress. Being able to see the taillights of Yuan Zhou's car was already a big goal.
"And the only requirement for this exchange activity is that the age is no more than 34 years old. After all, the definition of youth according to the National Bureau of Statistics is 11 to 34 years old." Yuan Zhou said with a sense of humor in the end.
The young chefs gave him face and laughed.
"This activity will be started by me and I will also be the main judge. At the same time, I will also invite the other three judges." Yuan Zhou talked about the exchange activity of young chefs methodically.
"The rewards of the top three chefs will be announced on the official website of the Green Chefs' Association. You will know when you go back." When Yuan Zhou mentioned the official website of the Green Chefs' Association, he looked at Liao Yue, the vice chairman at the side and said.
"The Green Chefs' Association will try its best to hold the first activity after Chairman Yuan takes office." Liao Yue immediately stood up and declared.
At the side, Zhou Shijie also stood up and said, "Our Chief Chefs' Association will also help. Chairman Yuan, if you need anything, you can come to me directly."
"Thank you, Vice Chairman Liao. Thank you, Chairman Zhou." Yuan Zhou nodded his head to express his gratitude.
Now, Zhou Shijie's preference for Yuan Zhou had been shown clearly. However, no one had any objection to that. After all, in the world of chefs, culinary skills were the most important. And it just so happened that Yuan Zhou's culinary skills were really excellent.
"Then, that's all for this speech." While saying that, Yuan Zhou nodded his head to the people offstage and then turned around and walked backstage.
At that time, Liao Yue and Qin Kaili separated into two groups. On one side, Liao Yue continued to talk about some specific things about the exchange activity while on the other side, Qin Kaili caught up with Yuan Zhou. She walked half a step behind Yuan Zhou and said, "Chairman Yuan, this is the page of the exchange activity I made. Do you want to have a look now?"
"Yes." Yuan Zhou took the tablet handed over by Qin Kaili without saying anything and started to flip through it.
From time to time, Qin Kaili looked at Yuan Zhou's expression as he flipped through the page. She also had to pay attention to whether there were any reporters surrounding her. It could be said that she was very busy.
In fact, it was not that Qin Kaili wanted Yuan Zhou to have a look at the page at this time. It was just that Qin Kaili had figured out Yuan Zhou's work and rest time in the past few days.
According to Qin Kaili's own calculation, if she wanted to not disturb Yuan Zhou's practice of culinary skills, she had to make use of every opportunity to complete some tasks.
That was why she made this move.
