Chapter 317: The Battle of Chinese and Western Food
When Song Chao heard Wu Ming say this, he knew that his persuasion had been effective today, and said with a slight smile: "That's the case, Mr. Wu, in fact, the cost of building our villa is not necessarily higher than your medicinal herb garden." ”
Wu Mingleng paused: "What did you say?"
Song Chao said as he took out a stack of documents from his bag and handed them to Wu Ming: "Please take a look at this document." ”
Wu Ming took a look, and listed in detail the construction costs and operating costs of the future development of the resort, as well as the construction and operating costs of Wu Ming's medicinal herb garden now, and compared them one by one.
As can be seen from the above, the investment in the construction of a resort villa will indeed be more in the early stage, but in the later stage, when the operation work is on the right track, it can begin to enter the low-cost operation stage.
However, Wu Ming's medicinal herb garden, to put it bluntly in the early stage, may not even have much construction costs, but the operating costs in the later stage are indeed not small, whether it is the cultivation of medicinal seedlings, or labor costs, as well as irrigation costs, planting costs, plus rough processing in the later stage, plus logistics and transportation, etc......
These things add up to tell Wu Ming a conclusion, once the resort is mature and in operation for more than a year, the future investment will be much smaller than that of the medicinal herb garden, but the profit estimate is comparable to the medicinal herb garden, and more importantly, the resort can achieve the effect of overall revitalization, while the medicinal herb garden is only a support for the pharmaceutical factory and a single independent business.
Seeing this, Wu Ming couldn't help but gasp, Song Chao was just an ordinary executive of Feng Long's company, such a person could know the situation of the plantation so well, how deep Feng Long's understanding of himself should be before, no wonder he always felt that he was always at a disadvantage in the competition with Feng Long at that time.
Song Chao seemed to see through Wu Ming's thoughts, and said after smiling slightly: "Mr. Wu, don't be careful, I'm not secretly studying your industry, you must know that some time ago, the plantation was once managed by Feng Long, and Feng Long once calculated a detailed account of this plantation at that time, and these documents were born from which accounts."
I was fortunate enough to be involved in the discussion at the time, and although I knew that if you accepted it, you would definitely save a lot of money in many places, but in the end it would not be much worse than that, and I was right. ”
Wu Ming nodded: "You are right, the conclusion above is also very pertinent, and you convinced me on the cost." ”
Without waiting for Wu Ming to throw out the second question, Song Chao himself said: "In that case, it is time to talk about the second question, the current plantation, on the one hand, is to provide raw materials for the pharmaceutical factory under your name, which is regarded as an auxiliary industry."
On the other hand, the plantation itself is still selling medicinal herbs to the outside world, and it can bring you a lot of money, but IMHO, this economic model is actually outdated.
Your plantation is only a single link in the industrial chain, and the resort villa, first, can promote the employment of Wujia Village around you, and even more villages, on the other hand, we can build the surrounding industries through the resort, and revitalize the heat of Panlong Town itself, and finally even support the housing prices of Panlong Town.
Moreover, at the beginning of the construction, we also had the relevant planning team to conduct research, and we were ready to build an ecological farm, and eventually the resort villa may even become a benchmark nationwide, in a sense, this resort is even less than your previous project to build a tuberculosis-free county.
After all, that project still has a hint of public welfare, and it can be regarded as the completion of your ideal, but our resort can definitely bring real money.
In addition, the excess money can also be used for the surrounding ecological protection, you know, the mountains and forests behind Wujia Village, the degree of biodiversity is not high, that is to say, the stability of the ecological environment is not so reliable, now so many people burn the mountains to open up the wasteland, the degree of destruction can be seen, with this resort, it is better than watching those villagers hold torches to burn the mountains, and finally just plant a little high cost, low return crops are stronger. ”
Song Chao is indeed a master of persuasion, the two of them sat here, just chatted for more than twenty minutes, Wu Ming had already completely stood in Song Chao's time, the key is that Wu Ming is here, and there is a reason that Song Chao doesn't understand at all.
The back mountain behind Wujia Village is the place where the medical holy recipe was discovered, and if in the development process, Wu Ming can use these manpower to find some clues that the medical holy recipe was left here, it will be a little more beneficial.
Thinking of this, Wu Ming nodded directly: "Okay, needless to say, I have already decided on this matter, so I will do it." ”
Hearing Wu Ming say this, Song Chao was overjoyed: "That's really good, I'll start preparing now, and when our specific implementation plan is decided, I'm afraid I will ask you to come out and implement the land matter." ”
Wu Ming snorted: "The matter of land, in fact, the land department is not the biggest problem, after all, I, Wu Ming, still have a little influence in the local area, and I myself am also a representative of the People's Congress of Panlong County."
In addition, the most important thing is the opinion of the people in our village, you may think this is a bit ridiculous, but this is an objective fact, after all, more than a year ago, I, Wu Ming, was still at the forefront and led them to oppose tourism development. ”
"I believe that's not a problem. Song Chao said: "As long as it can bring practical benefits to the villagers, they have absolutely no reason to object." ”
Wu Ming nodded, even if this matter was settled, Song Chao said goodbye on the spot, in the past few days, it seems that Song Chao has something to be busy.
Originally, Wu Ming felt that his industrial structure was already very stable, with plantations and pharmaceutical factories complementing each other, plus Xiangwen Hall and local chain restaurants, and the content of the medical sage recipe could be regarded as being used by himself.
But now think about it, since there is a large area of land for cultivating medicinal herbs in Kale County, Wu Ming no longer needs to do this, the existence of this plantation is already quite chicken, you know, the area of the plantation in Kale County is equivalent to more than 20 times that of the plantation in the back mountain of Wujia Village, and the local labor cost is very low, and it may only be comparable to here.
Leaving this plantation, the meaning is really very limited, since Song Chao has already taken the project, Wu Ming said to do it, which just happened to be a shot in the arm for his own industry that looked like stagnant water.
In the past few days, Wu Ming began to go to the house of the village chief Zheng to discuss this matter with the village chief Zheng.
At the beginning, Feng Long wanted to engage in tourism development, but Wu Ming persuaded Village Chief Zheng to take the whole village to do it with Feng Long, but now that Feng Long has collapsed and Wu Ming has become bigger, it is Wu Ming's turn to do this kind of thing?
However, Wu Mingxiao was affectionate and reasonable, and told Village Chief Zheng that he didn't let Feng Long do it back then because Feng Long was a very debatable person, and Feng Long adopted predatory development and did not consider the sustainable development of the village at all.
Now Wu Ming is doing this, to put it bluntly, it's just a change of way for the industry in the village, everyone still works for their own people, Wu Ming is here to sit in town, and no one can lose the villagers.
What's more, Wu Ming himself is a doctor, when he started the plantation, it was to protect the ecology while making money, and now there is a better way, why not use it.
Soon, Wu Ming persuaded Village Chief Zheng that this matter was about to be implemented.
On this day, Wu Ming was busy looking at the renderings that Song Chao sent to him by email, when suddenly, a pop-up window appeared on the computer, which attracted Wu Ming's attention.
This kind of pop-up window is the most common news pop-up window on the Internet, write some news hotspots on it, and interested people will click on it to take a look, Wu Ming was originally going to close the pop-up window casually, but soon, Wu Ming found that the content in the pop-up window turned out to be 'Jiangnan Restaurant Manager, Southern Chef King Gu Xingzhi defeated a Michelin three-star chef. ’
Wu Ming paused for a moment, of course, he clicked on the webpage, and soon Wu Ming understood what was going on above.
It turned out that after Gu Xingzhi took over the Jiangnan restaurant, on the one hand, he cooperated with Wu Ming's agent to engage in restaurant operation, and on the other hand, he put a lot of effort into the kitchen management of the restaurant.
Although Gu Xingzhi himself is a three-star Michelin chef, to put it bluntly, Gu Xingzhi still used the dishes of Western kitchens to participate in the evaluation, thus becoming a three-star Michelin chef.
Looking at home and abroad, there is really no Chinese restaurant that can win such a top honor as three Michelin stars.
You must know that Chinese, French, and Turkish cuisine have become the three major cuisines in the world, but only Chinese food still appears in front of Westerners as a cheap and low-end image.
On the one hand, Gu Xingzhi wants to improve the level of Jiangnan restaurants through this incident, as a reward for Wu Ming, and on the other hand, he hopes to complete his traceability for many years through this incident.
A three-star chef's letter to the headquarters of Michelin magazine certainly caused some repercussions, but what made Gu Xingzhi very angry was that although the tone of the other party's reply seemed very polite, it showed his high sense of superiority and disdain for Chinese food between the lines.
"Dear Chef Gu Xingzhi, we are honored to receive your letter and are glad to hear that you are interested in applying for the title of three-Michelin star restaurant for Jiangnan Restaurant.
However, after a long and careful discussion, we believe that today's Chinese food has a good reputation, but after all, it is only a cheap and lacks a refined and standard dining model, so Jiangnan Restaurant is not suitable to become a member of the high-end Michelin restaurants at this stage.
Therefore, we regret to inform you that your proposal did not go through, so we do not plan to send a food reviewer to your country to review it.
Best, your loyal friend, Michelin Associate Editor-in-Chief Pierce. ”
Seeing such a comment, Gu Xingzhi was furious, in his opinion, this is undoubtedly a slap in the face of Chinese food by the stubborn and arrogant French, what is ****** refinement and standardization?
In terms of exquisiteness, why is Chinese food not as exquisite as your French food, speaking of standardization, fucking your KFC McDonald's is standardized enough, why don't you fucking hang a Michelin brand for Uncle Ken and their family, to put it bluntly, it is deliberately burying people!
Thinking of this, Gu Xingzhi directly wrote a ******, writing the beginning and end of this incident in the letter, expressing regret, and directly announced that he would give up the title of three-star Michelin chef, and on behalf of Jiangnan restaurants and the Chinese food industry, challenge the top three Michelin-starred Western chefs in the world.
