1730. Self-recommendation
With doubts, Qin Shiou went to the fishing ground to pick Stanley up.
Unlike the last time I met, the chef changed his appearance and changed his white chef's uniform to a silver suit. He looked energetic and did not look like a chef but like a business elite.
Stanley walked while browsing the fishing grounds scenery and smiled: "I once followed your Twitter and the town's official Twitter. Many people commented below that the scenery in your fishing grounds is as beautiful as famous paintings. Now what you see with your own eyes is really worthy of its reputation."
Qin Shiou said humbly: "It's just everyone's love. In fact, what's better about my fishing ground is seafood. What do you want to eat at noon today? I'll take it for you to prepare the ingredients in advance so that you can make it at that time."
Stanley stared at him with wide eyes. He probably had never encountered such a honest and frank person.
Qin Shiou laughed and quickly changed the topic: "Okay, it seems that my joke is meaningless. So, is there anything you have to do with me?"
He asked Stanley to sit on a rattan chair under the shade of the tree, and then went back to prepare ice wine. This time, the ice wine brewed by Hickson's father was low in size and could be used as a drink. It retains a fragrance and tastes much better than juice.
Stanley took a sip and then raised his eyebrows, raised his thumbs up and said, "This wine tastes so good. I didn't expect that Mr. Qin is still a master of winemaking. I have to ask some advice if I have the chance. In fact, I also like wine making in my restaurant. I almost brew it myself."
Qin Shiou thought to himself that he could make beer, and wine and ice wine were not good, and it had to rely on Dad Hickson.
After chatting left and right, Stanley finally said his purpose: "Mr. Qin, I heard that you have reached a strategic cooperation agreement with the Hilton family. Will you open a restaurant brand to the Hilton family?"
Just now, Little Hilton came to play. She fell in love with the clever tiger and leopard recently, and ran over and called the tiger and leopard to go to the beach to catch crabs. The la labou didn't want to play with this woman. They wagged their tails at Dad Qin. Unfortunately, my father didn't protect them and watched them being pulled away by Daddy Hilton.
I will never love my father like that again. The Lalawang thought indignantly.
Seeing Hilton Little, Stanley was shocked and said, "Hilton's family even compensated you with his daughter?"
"What does it mean?" Qin Shiou asked strangely.
"That's right, is the little princess of the Hilton family fascinated by you?" Stanley asked with envy.
Qin Shiou waved his hand helplessly and said, "What are you thinking about? I am a guy and a tough guy. This girl is a little interested in him, so she came to my fishing ground. She has nothing to do with me."
Stanley breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So that's how it was. I was shocked just now."
Qin Shiou stared at him with a bad face: "Are you doubting my charm just now?"
Stanley quickly shook his head and said exaggeratedly: "No, of course not, how can I doubt your charm? In fact, what I admire most is your loyalty to love. If my guess is factual, it proves that you are not loyal to love, which would be too sad."
Qin Shiou felt that this guy was very good at speaking and had to admit it. What he said made Qin Daguanren happy.
Since the topic talks about his cooperation with the Hilton family, Qin Shiou probably understands what he came for, but he is a little surprised that Stanley owns a three-star Michelin restaurant, so what is his interest in this chain restaurant?
The chefs of three-star Michelin restaurants are the kings of the catering industry. They look down on ordinary chain restaurants that are straying from a row. Even if the Hilton Hotel is of a high level, they should not look down on them.
Stanley's subsequent words overturned his thoughts, and he coughed and said, "Mr. Qin, I want to introduce myself first. I, Stanley Calbert. The Calbert Food Family from Italy, once studied hotel management at Leiden University in the Netherlands and later obtained a master's degree in related majors at the University of London, England..."
Qin Shiou patiently listened to Stanley's self-introduction. He introduced his academic achievements and work experiences, such as having worked as a senior training teacher for Hilton Hotel after graduation and the regional president of Saudi Arabia in the Middle East of Marriott International Hotel Group, etc.
He heard it for a while and felt something was wrong. Stanley has a rich resume and wonderful experience. He has worked as a senior executive in many high-end hotels. The Marriott International Group where he was previously located is the world's leading international hotel management company. This company has more than 2,800 business units in the United States and 69 other countries and regions, employs about 128,000 employees, and an annual turnover of US$40 billion.
However, he should be an excellent chef, otherwise how could he own a three-star Michelin restaurant?
Facing his puzzled gaze, Stanley paused and said, "I understand what you mean, Mr. Qin, you must be very confused. Since my job is all management positions, how could I become the owner and chef of a three-star Michelin restaurant, right?"
Qin Shiou nodded and said, "Yes, to be honest, I'm very curious, are you a genius?"
Stanley smiled dryly and said, "That's not. Actually, that three-star restaurant is a relic left to me by my father. It was run by my father before, and he handed it over to me after he passed away."
Qin Shiou said: "But this doesn't make sense. Although Michelin only evaluates the restaurant level once a year, if there is a change, such as changing the owner, they will review it again. And I have tasted your skills, which is indeed very outstanding."
Stanley sighed: "I have to explain that Michelin's assessment is not only about the chef's craftsmanship, but also about the restaurant business philosophy and catering culture building awareness, etc. I am qualified in this regard. My craftsmanship is also good. Every man in our Calbert family is a gourmet, but I don't want to be a chef!"
The last sentence he almost gritted his teeth, "I don't want to wear oily clothes in the kitchen, smell the smell of damn oil smoke and fight for the desires of others! I hate such a job, if my father hadn't passed away, I would never have come back to pick him up!"
Hearing this, Qin Shiou probably understood what he meant and asked, "Then are you here to recommend yourself and want to cooperate with me to manage the Daqin Restaurant?"
Stanley nodded and apologized first: "Sorry, Mr. Qin, I'm a little out of control just now. I hope you can understand a man's persistence in his career."
Then he took a sip of ice wine and continued: "Yes, I want to apply for your position as the president of restaurant management. I have been waiting for this opportunity for two years, and finally I have waited for it!" (To be continued.)
