The room was bright and clean. There was a big round table with more than ten chairs. The room was fully occupied. There were men and women, old and young. The younger ones were in their thirties while the older ones were in their fifties. Everyone had a cup of tea in front of them.
That's right. The decorations and the environment were all from a private room in a teahouse.
"I've received accurate news that The Kitchen God will be releasing milk tea at noon today. It's all the milk tea that we are familiar with, sweet, salty, cold, or hot." The man was in his thirties. From his tone, it seemed like he was the one who had gathered everyone.
As soon as the man finished speaking, there was a commotion. Everyone was very concerned about this news.
"Manager Hao, is what you said true? Is the news confirmed? "
"The Kitchen God is a famous restaurant. I'd believe it if you said that it has milk tea as a beverage. But if you say that it has all the milk tea types … Hey, wake up. Boss Yuan doesn't sell milk tea."
"So, why did Manager Hao call us here?"
"Don't tell me you want us to go against The Kitchen God? That's impossible. It's impossible to go against Boss Yuan."
There were all kinds of comments.
"Quiet. Everyone, quiet." Manager Hao raised his voice. His ability to control the crowd was quite good. Seeing that everyone was arguing, he raised his hands and pressed them down.
After a while, the crowd quieted down. Manager He then said, "I gathered everyone here because I have a small idea."
"I was the one who bought the news about The Kitchen God's milk tea. The source is clean and accurate. I've seen the menu. There must be a lot of milk tea," Manager He said seriously.
Everyone was curious about the clean source that Manager Hao mentioned. But now wasn't the time to talk about this, so they didn't ask.
The people present were all in charge of all the famous milk tea beverage shops in Chengdu.
Manager He had a good heart, but he had underestimated one thing. The more people there were, the less united they would be. Regarding the actions of The Kitchen God, no matter if it was Deer Horn Alley, Tribute Tea, Happy Tea, One Point, Coco, etc, they couldn't sit still. Everyone started discussing. In the end, Manager Hao didn't even finish what he wanted to say.
Sure enough, except for the team relay race when he was still a student, it was hard for anyone else to succeed even if they worked together.
"What do you think, Old Hao? Isn't it boring for you to gather so many people? Didn't I say before that we don't need to gather so many people? You said that all the people in the same industry should be informed. Is it because no one appreciates your kindness?" A man in his thirties, who was about the same age as Manager Hao, sneered.
Manager Hao sighed and said, "It's fine. Since we've already informed them, we just need to do our best. We still have you guys."
The venue was originally full of people, but now there were only three kittens left. One of them was Manager Hao, the other was the man who had just spoken, surnamed Liu, and the last one was a very capable woman who was about the same age.
"That's enough, Old Liu. It's not like you don't know Old Hao's temper. Old Hao, tell me what you think now." The woman's face was serious, and her pretty face was slightly serious.
"Old Liu, Little Qin, do you know how Taoxi Road was formed?" Manager Hao asked first.
"Wasn't he brought up by Boss Yuan?" Old Liu replied.
"That's roughly the case. But I've investigated more details," Manager Hao said, "As of now, The Kitchen God has been open for four years …"
"Wait, only four years?" Old Liu asked.
The other person, Miao Qin, was also a little dumbfounded. In her impression, The Kitchen God had existed in Chengdu for over ten years in Taoxi Road, and Head Chef Yuan had been a famous chef for seven to eight years.
"It sounds unbelievable, but that's indeed the case," Manager Hao continued. Manager Hao continued, "From a nobody, Head Chef Yuan became a top chef in Asia in only four years."
"In the first year that The Kitchen God opened, it became a Sichuan Cuisine Normal Restaurant. In the second year, it represented China to participate in the Sino-Japan Exchange Conference. In the third year, it held an individual cooking exhibition, breaking the previous record. In the same year, it became the head chef to participate in the Asian Cultural Exchange Conference. In the fourth year, it successfully separated the China Famous Chefs Alliance from the Asian Famous Chefs Alliance and became the chairman of the China Famous Chefs Alliance. "
Manager Hao sighed with emotion, "Head Chef Yuan used four years to complete a journey that 99% of the people couldn't complete in their lifetime."
"At the same time, Taoxi Road also started its evolution. In the first year, it became a gourmet street in Chengdu. Many restaurants that were originally in decline were injected with vitality, and even a high-class western restaurant was opened."
"In the second year, it became a gourmet street in Sichuan Province and was recommended on all major apps. Many chain restaurants heard of it and wanted to enter Taoxi Road. In the third year, the popularity of Taoxi Road was second only to Chunxi Road, becoming a nationwide gourmet street. According to my statistics, Zhao Laosi's Rice Noodles, Wang Ge's Dumplings, and Fugui Stir-Fried Rice Noodles were originally small restaurants, but after opening in Taoxi Road, they became famous and opened chain restaurants. "
Manager Hao paused for a while and continued, "In the fourth year, last year, Taoxi Road became a gourmet street in Asia. Tourists from Thailand, Japan, Korea, and Singapore could almost be seen here."
The moment he finished, Old Liu and Miao Qin were shocked. They weren't stupid. They could naturally tell that the gradual upgrade of Taoxi Road was actually the process of Yuan Zhou becoming famous step by step.
Just like what Manager Hao said, everyone knew that it was Yuan Zhou who made Taoxi Road soar, but they weren't clear about the specific details. When they heard about it, they were truly shocked.
"Why is this Head Chef Yuan so amazing? He's involved in everything, yet he's strong in everything. He's not giving others a chance to survive," said Manager Liu.
"Otherwise, how could he be called the number one chef in Asia? Old Hao, what do you think of this?" Miao Qin knew that Manager Hao wouldn't mention this for no reason.
"When milk tea is mentioned, the first place that comes to mind is Hong Kong style milk tea and Wanwan pearl milk tea," Manager Hao said. "Actually, you can tell from Taoxi Road that Boss Yuan itself is a powerful brand. Now that The Kitchen God has a complete collection of milk tea, I believe it will attract a lot of people who like to drink milk tea. I believe that in less than half a year, the first place that comes to mind when milk tea is mentioned will be The Kitchen God and Taoxi Road."
Miao Qin and Manager Liu agreed with this point. They both felt that as long as Head Chef Yuan put something on the menu, nobody would be able to surpass him.
"It's impossible to open another milk tea shop on Taoxi Road now. Every shop is a trap. Even if you pay a premium, it's still very difficult to rent a shop. How many people does The Kitchen God serve in a day? And how many customers and tourists want to drink milk tea? "
"Then let's change the definition. When milk tea is mentioned, people will think of The Kitchen God, Taoxi Road, and Chenghua District," Manager Hao said. "So my first suggestion is to open more milk tea shops near Taoxi Road, turning Chenghua District into a milk tea area."
"My goal is to make the tourists leave Chenghua District without drinking a cup of milk tea. That would be my failure," Manager Hao said resolutely.
