Early the next morning, Gu Zheng came to the restaurant. When Gu Zheng arrived, the restaurant was not open yet, but Xiang Kai was already there.
Now that the supply had increased, Xiang Kai no longer delivered alone. Instead, he brought several people with him, including people from the Shao enterprise. A thousand braised chickens a day required them to book a carriage of the high-speed rail. Otherwise, they would not be able to deliver them.
Even if they booked the entire carriage, they had to deliver them on time. Whether it was roast chicken or barrel chicken, they had to be the best made on the day. Xiang Kai knew this very well, so even if it was tiring to make a trip every day, he would never delay.
"Master Gu!"
Seeing Gu Zheng, Xiang Kai was stunned. Then, he came over to greet him. At this moment, he still seemed a little reserved.
Unlike last time, Gu Zheng was still unknown. Even if he was a little famous, it was only a little. Now, Gu Zheng was nationally famous. He was the new God of Cookery and the idol of all young chefs. Xiang Kai also paid attention to the National Gourmet Competition and knew about Gu Zheng's achievements. When he faced Gu Zheng, his attitude inevitably changed.
"Thank you for your hard work while I was away!"
Gu Zheng nodded with a smile. He knew that Xiang Kai had been delivering the goods for a long time, rain or shine. It was indeed not easy for him to run like this every day for so long.
"This is what I should do. Let me introduce you. This is Shao Yibai. Now, we are in charge of delivering the barrel chicken and roast chicken every day!"
Shao Yibai was a member of the Shao family. After all, they delivered so many goods every day and had to pay for the goods. They needed a reliable person to follow them. Although the Shao family had always wanted to change the buyer, Boss He did not agree. They could only maintain the status quo and continue to deliver the goods.
"Hello, Mr. Gu!"
Shao Yibai did not treat Gu Zheng like Xiang Kai, but there was respect in his eyes. After all, Gu Zheng was a real celebrity and a capable person.
Gu Zheng nodded slightly as a greeting. He planned to go to Licheng County again today to meet Boss He, Xiang Ming, and the people from the Shao enterprise. He wanted to completely remove this hidden danger.
Five hundred bucket chickens and five hundred roast chickens were all hot when they were delivered. They were all delivered by the first high-speed train in the morning.
The employees in the store received the roasted chicken and Bucket Chicken, and the store manager settled the payment with them. The payment for the Bucket Chicken and Roasted Chicken was settled on the same day. They had never owed them anything. The store had enough cash, so it was completely possible.
Guji Chicken Blood Soup had a very good reputation in this area. Regardless of the source, they would pay as soon as they delivered it. They had never been late.
"Xiang Kai, I'll go back with you today!"
After settling the payment, Xiang Kai and Shao Yibai were about to leave. Just as they were about to leave, Gu Zheng suddenly called out to Xiang Kai.
Xiang Kai was slightly stunned and immediately looked at Shao Yibai.
They all knew that Gu Zheng had been away these days. As soon as Gu Zheng came back, he went to their place. They knew the reason without guessing. During this period, the Shao enterprise had been thinking about changing suppliers. After all, the price offered by others could be many times higher.
There was indeed someone who offered a price of 180 yuan per kilogram. It was the same price as the roasted chicken in Gu Zheng's store. What's more, they didn't need to deliver it. They could get it themselves.
It was also a restaurant that wanted to buy the Bucket Chicken. The reason why they offered such a high price was that they wanted to use the delicious Bucket Chicken to attract regular customers. They didn't expect to make much money from the Bucket Chicken. If they bought it for 180 yuan, they would sell it for 198 yuan like Gu Zheng. There was no profit at all. They might even lose a little.
For the Shao enterprise, no matter how much others sold it, as long as they offered a high price, they could make more money. That was why they had been so unstable recently, and even Gu Zheng had to go there in person.
The high-speed train went directly to Yongcheng. Xiang Kai's car was parked here. They could take his car back together.
Xiang Kai's car was no longer a bread. It was a Passat, which was a new car he bought. Although the profit of roasted chicken was the same as before, selling five hundred more chicken every day meant that he made a lot of money. Both his family and the Shao enterprise had made a lot of money during this period. Xiang Ming was not a pedantic person. He could improve his life after making money, so he bought a better car for his son.
"Master Gu!"
Xiang Ming was waiting at the entrance of the shop. Now that the shop had been renovated and the backyard had been expanded, he had no choice but to expand it. He had to cook more than 500 roasted chickens every day. It was a lot of work, and the space he needed had also increased by a lot.
Fortunately, it was not difficult to cook roasted chicken. Except for the core part, he had hired others to help him. In this way, they didn't have to be too tired.
"Master Xiang, Boss He!"
Gu Zheng walked over with a smile. Knowing that Gu Zheng was coming, Boss He went directly to Xiang Ming's place to wait. If Gu Zheng hadn't disagreed, Boss He would have gone to the high-speed train station to pick up Gu Zheng.
Now Boss He's two farms were very prosperous. He not only made a lot of money because chickens needed a lot of natural feed, but also helped many villagers around to make money. Many villagers were now providing feed for him. They didn't go out to work, so they made more money than they did outside.
Boss He knew very well how all this came about. It could be said that without Gu Zheng, there would be no such thing. So when the Shao enterprise wavered, he immediately warned that if the Shao enterprise dared not to supply Gu Zheng, he would not supply roasted chicken to the Shao enterprise. He forced the Shao enterprise to refuse all the temptations outside.
It could be said that without him, there would be no Bucket Chicken in Gu Zheng's store. Of course, the Shao enterprise's end would not be good.
"Master Gu, I'm sorry. I didn't expect such a thing to happen. You came here in person!"
Boss He stepped forward and apologized to Gu Zheng. In his opinion, it was he who introduced the Shao enterprise to Gu Zheng. It was also Gu Zheng who made the Shao enterprise famous. Now the Shao enterprise wanted to burn the bridge after crossing the river. It was not a gentleman's behavior at all.
Although Boss He was also a businessman, he was a very principled person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have run the chicken farm to such an extent before, and he wouldn't have changed any business ideas.
"Boss He, you are too serious. I didn't think it through at that time. This time, I came here specially to solve this problem!"
Gu Zheng smiled. He did come for the Shao enterprise's Bucket Chicken. When he bought these two kinds of chicken, he thought that these two kinds of chicken would be popular, but he ignored people's hearts.
He was never worried about Xiang Ming. Xiang Ming had strong principles. If not for this, he would have left this small town long ago and gone to the big city to develop. He would have a better life in the big city. It would be much better than here.
"Master Gu, don't worry. I'll keep an eye on the Shao enterprise. I won't give any villains a chance to take advantage of us. Also, I've prepared an equity agreement. I'm planning to convert the payment you made back then into shares. Although it's not much, only 30%, this 30% has a veto right!"
Boss He said quickly and took out a file bag. In fact, this was a problem he had thought about before.
He could suppress the Shao enterprise for a while, but he couldn't suppress it forever. Moreover, his Lu Caichicken had begun to be imitated now. His chicken farming skills were not available to others, but it was not a secret recipe. If someone wanted to learn it, they could definitely learn it.
Once others had Lu Caichicken, he had no way to suppress the Shao enterprise. At that time, he would not be able to explain to Gu Zheng.
After thinking for a long time, he came up with the idea of giving Gu Zheng the shares. 30% of the shares was not much, but he didn't own all the shares. Some old employees and people who had invested before had some shares. He himself had more than 60%. Giving Gu Zheng 30% was equal to giving half of the shares.
He had more than 30%, and Gu Zheng had 30%. As long as he supported, Gu Zheng's veto right was absolutely not a problem.
In this way, he not only showed his support to Gu Zheng, but also let some villains not have any ideas about him. At the same time, he did this to show the Shao enterprise that he was completely with Gu Zheng. The Shao enterprise had better not have any ideas about him.
"Shares?"
Gu Zheng was very surprised. Looking at the file bag sent by Boss He, his eyes were full of surprise.
He didn't think as much as Boss He, but he did have a way to solve this hidden danger. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come in person. But he didn't expect that Boss He would give him the shares.
"Yes, don't think it's too little. According to the payment you gave me, I can buy the factory. But there are other people who have shares in the factory. If you think 30% is too little, I can give you 40% or 50%!"
Boss He said quickly. When he said 50%, he also gritted his teeth. He had more than 60% of the shares in total. If he gave 50% to Gu Zheng, it meant that he only had a little more than 10% of the shares. After all, the factory was built by him. It was equal to giving up. He struggled to make such a decision.
"Boss He, you misunderstood me. I don't want your shares!"
Gu Zheng smiled and shook his head gently. He never thought about asking for shares. The chicken farm was profitable, but it couldn't compare with the profit of Guji Chicken Blood Soup. What was more, Gu Zheng didn't care about money at all.
However, Gu Zheng was moved by Boss He's move. He understood that it was not easy for Boss He to make such a decision.
Anyway, Boss He gave away his money and interests for free. Even if the money was not important to others, it was most of his money.
"Master Gu, I really want to give it to you!"
Boss He saw Gu Zheng refuse and immediately defended himself. He didn't have any good way to solve the problem at hand, so he thought of using the payment of money to pay for the shares.
Speaking of which, when Gu Zheng ordered, even if he directly asked for the shares, he would have agreed. After all, it was a good time for the chicken farm to develop.
"Boss He, I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't need your shares. Moreover, I came here this time because I have a way to solve this problem!"
Gu Zheng chuckled and shook his head. He wasn't just the owner of the Gu Ji Chicken Blood Soup. He was also a cultivator and an Immortal Chef. He had many ways to solve this problem that was difficult for Boss He.
The reason why he came here in person was that he wanted to see the attitude of this side. This time, he didn't come in vain. Boss He and Xiang Ming didn't let him down, and they didn't betray his trust.
As for the Shao enterprise, they didn't have any special relationship. If they couldn't cooperate, then they wouldn't cooperate. If the Shao enterprise didn't cooperate with them, it would be the Shao enterprise that suffered losses, not him.
"Boss Gu, you have a way?"
Boss He and Xiang Ming were a little stunned. They knew that Gu Zheng just came back, but they didn't expect that Gu Zheng, who had just come back, already had a way to solve the problem.
A master was indeed a master, unlike them who had been worried for so long without any good ideas.
Although the bucket chicken had nothing to do with Xiang Ming, after all, it was Gu Zheng's help that made their lives better, their business more popular, and even more famous. Xiang Ming had always been grateful to Gu Zheng in his heart. He didn't want to see the Shao enterprise burn the bridge after crossing the river and hurt Gu Zheng.
He and Boss He had discussed it before, but they didn't have a good idea. In the end, they thought of giving him shares.
"Yes!"
Gu Zheng smiled again.
For any delicacy, the most important thing was taste. Whether it was the Wang's Roast Chicken or the Shao's Bucket Chicken, the reason why they were recognized at such a high price was because of their incomparable taste.
When Gu Zheng found these two foods, it was because he wanted to find the best snack in the country. Whether it was the Wang's Roast Chicken or the Shao's Bucket Chicken, they were worthy of being the best in the country.
Since they were the best, it didn't matter if the price was high. In the past, their production was small, so they weren't famous. With the help of Gu Zheng, they increased their production and gradually became famous.
It could be said that the most delicious and the best taste was the key to their fame.
Who was Gu Zheng? He was an immortal chef. Whether it was the Bucket Chicken or the Roast Chicken, they were just second-class ingredients. It was very easy for Gu Zheng to improve their taste. According to Gu Zheng's original idea, he would first help the Wang's Roast Chicken to improve the taste. If the Shao enterprise could cooperate, he would improve the taste of their Bucket Chicken. If they couldn't cooperate, he would find another restaurant.
Even if it was an ordinary Bucket Chicken restaurant, Gu Zheng had a way to make them taste better than the Shao enterprise. In this trip to Shushan, Gu Zheng gained more than just ingredients.
However, seeing Boss He's attitude, Gu Zheng immediately changed his mind.
Instead of improving the taste of the two kinds of chicken, it was better to improve the quality of the Lu Cai Chicken directly from the raw materials.
The Lu Cai Chicken could be learned and imitated by others. After all, there was more than one kind of chicken with second-class ingredients. Others could also make it. However, he believed that no one could learn or imitate the Lu Cai Chicken that had been modified by Gu Zheng's secret recipe.
In this way, the taste of the two kinds of chicken would be better. However, only Boss He could provide the raw materials, and no one else could.
In Xiang Ming's restaurant, Gu Zheng told them his new idea. Boss He and Xiang Ming both widened their eyes, especially Boss He, whose lips were slightly trembling.
"Master Gu, is what you said true? Do you really have a way to improve the taste of the Lu Cai Chicken?"
Boss He asked with a trembling voice. Gu Zheng didn't know that Boss He and his father had been trying to find ways to improve the taste of the Lu Cai Chicken. After several generations of hard work, the current Lu Cai Chicken was perfect. At least, Boss He had no way to improve it.
He didn't expect that Gu Zheng still had a way, and it was a way that others couldn't imitate.
It meant that he could do what his father and even his grandfather couldn't do. He could make the chicken he raised really unique. How could he not be excited?
"Of course, I can not only improve the taste of the Lu Cai Chicken, but also shorten the time when it comes out of the cage!"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly. The cultivation time of the Lu Cai Chicken was too long, more than five months. If it wasn't for such a long time, Boss He wouldn't have been so poor. Even if Gu Zheng liked the food made by the Lu Cai Chicken, he had to order it first and wait for more than five months before a large number of Lu Cai Chickens were on the market.
Compared with other chickens that were out of the cage in two months or even forty days, the time when the Lu Cai Chicken was out of the cage was really a shortcoming.
"You can also shorten the time when the Lu Cai Chicken is out of the cage!"
Boss He stood up at once. If it was said by others, he would only sneer at it. It took several generations of the He family to let the Lu Cai Chicken have such a time to be out of the cage. It should be known that the earliest Lu Cai Chicken basically took a year to raise.
Ordinary farms couldn't bear it at all and couldn't bear it at all.
"I'm not sure if I can shorten it to the shortest time, but it's still possible to get it out of the cage in two months!"
Gu Zheng thought for a while and then said. Boss He was completely stunned. Two months, they could get it out of the cage in two months. If they could get it out of the cage in two months, it would save more than half of the time. Saving time was equal to saving cost.
Not only that, but also saving time, the output could be more than doubled and the cost could be saved. In this case, their profits could be multiplied several times.
"This is some secret formula that I developed. You put it in the chicken feed. Don't put too much. One packet of diluted chicken feed one thousand chickens, one packet a day. I have thirty packets of it. You can take it to do an experiment first. We can talk about it after the experiment is successful!"
Gu Zheng took out a small box with some powder in it. The box was not big, about the size of a mobile phone. The powder in the small box was less than one gram.
Looking at this small box, even Boss He had doubts in his heart.
Such a small amount of food could improve the taste of Lu Cai's chickens and shorten the time they were taken out of the slaughterhouse. Most importantly, such a small amount of food was enough to feed a thousand chickens for thirty days. This was too exaggerated.
"Try it first. In addition, you can invite the boss of the Shao enterprise. I'll talk to him alone. If he is willing to continue the cooperation, we can continue. If he doesn't want to, I won't stop him. But there is no reason for us to supply the improved Lu Cai chickens to our competitors. He can have Lu Cai chickens as long as we don't give him the secret formula!"
Gu Zheng put down the box and said again.
"Boss Gu, don't worry. If he doesn't cooperate, I won't give him a single chicken!"
Boss He hurriedly said again. His eyes fell on the small box that Gu Zheng put down, and his eyes were full of enthusiasm.
Although he didn't believe that this little thing could be improved so much, there was a voice in his heart telling him that Master Gu would never lie or cheat him. This little thing might really bring him a shocking surprise and gain.
