Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

“No name? ”

“This…”

Wang Peng looked at Xue Zhebin and found that Xue Zhebin was also like a waiter, smiling without saying anything.

Wang Peng has the feeling of being despised, as if he had never seen the world before.

“No, the store doesn't have a name. How do I register? Or is it a strategy to deliberately not tell the customer the name of the store? ”

Wang Peng felt frustrated today.

As the co-founder of the national review, he has visited many restaurants and has seen many restaurants with distinctive features.

But strange things like today are rare.

Generally, even some very low-key private kitchens have names, such as the name of the restaurant directly with the number of the door, the name of the kitchen 45, the restaurant 78, etc.

After all, there has to be a name for how to keep a low profile. Otherwise, people don't know how to describe this restaurant when they want to come to dinner. It's too late.

Moreover, the lack of a name is not conducive to the oral transmission of the food and the raising of the popularity of the food.

This is not possible unless the owner of the store doesn't care about visibility at all or is extremely confident in his own restaurant.

Xue Zhebin felt very comfortable when he saw Wang Peng's confused eyes. An unknown sense of superiority was born.

“Forget it. Eat it. The food will be cold for a while.” Xue Zhebin urged.

Wang Peng nodded and put these things behind his head for the time being. He took out his phone to take a picture.

The waiter just wanted to remind him that Xue Zhebin had already spoken step by step.

He pointed to the license plate next to the table: “You can't take pictures. ”

Wang Peng: “? ”

It's not a big shop, it's a lot of rules!

Wang Peng has also heard that some restaurants do not allow photography, but that is rarely the case and is mainly abroad.

Domestically, if a restaurant does not allow customers to take pictures, it must be very inhuman. Domestic customers are about to turn into a ritual before eating. If you don't let them take pictures, how can you send them out to pretend?

What's the difference between spending so much money on a meal and not being able to pretend like you've never been to this restaurant?

Of course, rules like "don't take pictures” are definitely not mandatory, you have to take out your phone and the waiter can't smash your phone.

They'll just come by and very politely remind you that you have to shoot, and that's not going to work.

But the waiter came to warn us, "Please don't take pictures," which already greatly affects the customer's dining experience, and most restaurants don't do this stupid thing.

Besides, customers take a few beautiful photos of the food and share them, attracting more guests, which is equivalent to advertising the restaurant for free. Why not?

So, from any angle, it's incredible that a restaurant doesn't let you take pictures.

Wang Peng was confused: “What does this mean? These dishes sell so well, don't they make you blind? ”

He looked at the dishes in front of him, all of them perfumed, and he felt blood loss when he couldn't photograph them and tell others he had eaten them.

Xue Zhebin's smile on his face became more and more intense. Wang Peng's confusion made him feel an unknown sense of superiority, so he explained for the waiter.

“This is the wonder of the store. ”

“The owner of this store believes that taking pictures distracts people from eating food. ”

“If all you have in mind is how to find a good angle, a good light, you can't concentrate on enjoying the fragrance, flavour and carefully carved details of the food itself. ”

“Put your phone down to better focus on enjoying the state of communication with friends, enjoying food and relaxing completely. ”

“So let's just go home today, know you're busy, but a meal won't delay anything, put your phone away. ”

Wang Peng still felt sorry for him, but Xue Zhebin had already spoken, and it was very bad to take pictures with him, so he put his phone away and started enjoying the food.

Battle axe steak, mushrooms, caviar… are not cheap items, this meal costs more than 10,000.

And Xue Zhebin didn't order the most expensive dishes here because he wasn't sure if the ingredients that needed to be booked were true or false.

Wang Peng gets a taste and a fine taste.

“Sure enough, it's not an ordinary ingredient. ”

As the top of the review website, Wang Peng has also tasted a lot of food. After all, this is part of his work.

Whether a dish is delicious depends first on the ingredients, second on the chef's cooking, and finally on the dining environment, the atmosphere and the mood of the guests.

Of these, good ingredients are the most important prerequisites.

Wang Peng can feel it after a little taste. These ingredients are absolutely authentic!

Of course, it is not the finest ingredient, because many of the precious ingredients abroad are not for sale in their place of origin, and production is limited, and only a small part of the nearby area can be supplied and not delivered domestically.

But obviously, this unnamed restaurant already uses the best ingredients available in the country.

Xue Zhebin looked at Wang Peng's expression: “How's it taste? ”

As a wealthy second generation, Xue Zhebin did eat a lot of good food. He also had a good ability to discern the good and bad of some dishes, but after all, he was not professional. He was still a little different from Wang Peng.

Wang Peng nodded with satisfaction: “Very good. Even I think it's better than I've eaten before. ”

“Like this caviar, 30 percent of the world's caviar production now comes from our country, and 21 of the 26 Michelin-starred restaurants in Paris use our country's finest caviar. ”

“Our country's farmed caviar is perfectly comparable to wild caviar. ”

“I also went to some restaurants in Dido and Demon, and the ingredients should be the same. ”

“But I don't know why, but the caviar here is always better. ”

“Is it because of the psychological effects of tableware and the environment? ”

Xue Zhebin thought about the change in the layout of the bakery and said: “By the way, this bakery has obviously been rearranged today, from decoration to dining table and tableware, it's all very different from the last time I came here. ”

He looked at the waiter next to him and said, "Why are you replacing these things? ”

The waiter smiled, “Because our boss believes that the environment is also a key part of the dining experience. ”

“Just like ancient literature, different wines have to be drunk with different glasses, and there are many complicated and cumbersome steps to take, not only because it is a ritual feeling, but also because the right dishes are more expressive of the wine's specialty and are more capable of baking this particular atmosphere. ”

Wang Peng was silent and nodded for a moment: “Be honest. ”

If you hear this on other occasions, Wang Peng will surely laugh and use four words to evaluate it: Hanari Whistle.

Replacing different interior decorations, tables and utensils for different foods is nothing more than superficial articles. If the dishes are not good, they are all empty.

But what if the ingredients themselves and the chef's craftsmanship have reached a high level?

Top-notch ingredients are used here, and chefs are top notch, no disadvantages, but no advantages compared to other upscale restaurants.

At this time, there may be only a few things left to impress the customer.

Such as a special dining environment, thoughtful service, suitable utensils, etc.

Plus, photography is not allowed here, and everyone focuses all their attention on the food, creating an invisible psychological suggestion that it's really good.

In this way, two identical dishes will impress the eater!

“How much for this meal?” Wang Peng asked again.

Xue Zhebin smiled: "Thirteen thousand. ”

Wang Peng said with heartfelt emotion: “It's worth it. ”

……

……

Walking out of the door of Ming Yun's private chef, Wang Peng still felt that there was some unfinished intention.

Though he was “killed” by Xue Zhebin today and spent more than 10,000 on hospitality, he still felt it was too valuable.

If it hadn't been for Xue Zhebin's introduction, Wang Peng really didn't know that there was still such a high-end restaurant in Jingzhou.

It's not just a question of good food.

The location here is hidden and low-key, the environment is very upscale, the service is very thoughtful, plus the impossibility of taking photos, etc. makes it look very aggressive.

This place is perfect for business banquets.

Prices are high, but as long as the tone goes up to make business partners happy and feel valued, it's a great deal!

Moreover, Wang Peng looked at the price on the cheque and found that it was completely within acceptable range.

Because high-end ingredients are expensive in their own right, plus the human cost of first-class chefs, venues, changing table utensils, etc...

Rather, it's a good price!

I just didn't want to contact the owner of this restaurant, which makes Wang Peng feel a little shameful.

At the end of the meal, a manager named Lin came and asked very politely if the two people had any opinions and if there was anything that could be improved in the restaurant.

Wang Peng took the opportunity to propose the contact details of the owner, hoping that this restaurant could become a cooperative merchant for popular review.

However, the manager refused.

Technically, it's not that Manager Lin refused, but that Manager Lin refused on behalf of the owner behind this restaurant. He just gave Wang Peng his own phone, instead of calling the owner.

Furthermore, on behalf of the boss, Manager Lin refused the cooperation proposal of the national review, and even the name of the store was unwilling to be disclosed.

Wang Peng is also ashamed to force himself. After all, the owner behind the scenes is really a low-key person from all aspects of the restaurant's location, early publicity and so on. He doesn't give contact information, but it also conforms to his style of action.

So Wang Peng just remembered the contact details of Lin Shop Manager, so that when there is an important business banquet in the future, you can make an appointment in advance.

It's just a shame that we didn't build a partnership with this store on behalf of the entire population.

But… can't they be displayed on review websites without establishing a partnership?

Of course not.

Popular reviews have the ability to “Add Store” where users can add their own listings.

However, the name of the store is mandatory and staff should be asked to assist in this regard.

Wang Peng directly took note of the location and called the technician: “There is a fancy restaurant in this place, update it on the website, I will write a review later. ”

“No name, just empty it. ”
