Chapter 205 There's a problem with the raw materials.
"Mr. Jiang is too modest," Ms. Jiang said with a smile. "Even without the Zhou family's connection, we would still like to cooperate with a young talent like Mr. Jiang. Yang Xin has been very successful lately, and we have wanted to get to know Mr. Jiang for a long time."
It seems the Zhou family's influence is truly powerful!
Jiang Yang was very happy; this move had been the right one.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two sides began discussing cooperation.
Ms. Jiang was very frank: "ASUS" can provide "Yangxin" with the best fabrics, at fair prices, with guaranteed quality, and can also customize according to "Yangxin's" requirements.
Chu Lan was very excited when she heard about such good conditions.
"That's wonderful! With this, Yangxin's raw material problem is completely solved!"
Jiang Yang thought about it and decided that it was better to keep the cooperation secret.
So he said to Ms. Jiang, "Could we keep our collaboration a secret for now?"
"Oh? Mr. Jiang, what is this...?" Ms. Jiang was a little confused.
Why ask for confidentiality? Is it because the conditions they offered weren't good enough?
Fearing she might misunderstand, Jiang Yang explained, "Yang Xin is attracting a lot of attention right now, and some people don't want us to be together. I don't want to cause any more trouble. It's not too late to go public when the time is right."
“I understand,” Ms. Jiang nodded.
"Mr. Jiang is very thoughtful. I will give instructions to keep it strictly confidential."
After leaving ASUS, Jiang Yang and Chu Lan both breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Lan said happily, "Finally it's all done! Now I can relax! Let's go celebrate with Chef Yang!"
Jiang Yang nodded: "Alright! It's time to relax!"
When the two arrived at "Chef Yang's", the restaurant was very lively and there were almost no empty seats.
"Boss Jiang, Boss Chu, you're here!" Chef Yu was busy in the kitchen with his staff when he saw them and quickly came over. "We've prepared a few new hot pot bases, would you like to try some?"
Jiang Yang smiled and said, "Of course we have to try it! We trust Master Yu's cooking skills!"
Master Yu personally led them to a private room, and soon a steaming hot pot was served, bubbling away.
The red oil is bubbling and the aroma is so enticing that it makes you want to eat it.
"Come on, everyone, let's eat together!" Jiang Yang called to the restaurant staff. "You've all worked hard today, treat yourselves!"
Everyone sat together, eating and chatting, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.
"Master Yu, your hot pot broth is absolutely amazing!" A waiter gave a thumbs up. "It's even better than what I had back home!"
"Yes, Master Yu, with your skills, it's a shame you don't open a hot pot restaurant!"
"Haha, I'm glad everyone likes it!" Master Yu was all smiles. "It's all thanks to Boss Jiang. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have had the chance to figure these things out."
Jiang Yang waved his hand: "Master Yu, you're too kind. This is all thanks to your own skills!"
It seems like this hot pot business is really lucrative!
"Sister Qing," Jiang Yang turned to Shen Qing and said, "the hot pot is doing really well. How about we open a hot pot restaurant and name it 'Red Fatty'?"
Shen Qing was stunned for a moment, then her eyes immediately lit up.
"That's a great idea! I'm currently training a new batch of people, and we'll have staff for both the restaurant and the hot pot restaurant. Once they're ready, Chef Yang and Fatty Hong can ensure that the service and procedures are the same at every restaurant."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yang inwardly praised him.
The person Cao Long recommended is indeed amazing!
Shen Qing paused for a moment, then said confidently, "Once they've finished their training, whether we open a restaurant or a hot pot restaurant, the service and procedures will be standardized, guaranteeing that customers will have nothing to complain about!"
Jiang Yang nodded inwardly, he highly recognized Shen Qing's abilities.
"Boss Jiang,"
Master Yu leaned closer and whispered, "Tonight's hot pot broth is my own secret recipe, with some special ingredients. If you open a hot pot restaurant, you can't share this recipe with anyone. I suggest that from now on, I'll be in charge of making all the hot pot broths for your restaurant."
"Oh?"
Jiang Yang raised an eyebrow: "Master Yu, what are you doing...?"
Master Yu quickly explained, "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang. I'm not the kind of person who keeps secrets. It's just that this recipe is the culmination of my years of hard work, and I'm afraid it might get misused if it gets out. Besides, once the hot pot restaurant opens, I can't manage it all by myself!"
Jiang Yang understood Master Yu's little scheme.
That's how craftspeople are; they make a living from it.
"Master Yu, I understand your concerns."
Jiang Yang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Chef Yang will definitely not pass on this recipe. From now on, you will be in charge of preparing the broth for all the hot pot restaurants. Also, you can take on a few Sichuan cuisine apprentices. Once they have learned, you will be able to free up your time to take charge of the kitchens of each restaurant."
Master Yu slapped his thigh excitedly.
"Boss Jiang, you're so generous! Don't worry, I, Lao Yu, will definitely teach all my skills to my apprentices without holding anything back!"
"Okay! It's settled then!" Jiang Yang made the decision.
With the ingredients and hot pot all sorted out, Jiang Yang felt much more relaxed.
Jiang Yang raised his wine glass.
"Come on, everyone, let's raise a glass! May Chef Yang's business prosper!"
"Cheers!" everyone shouted in unison, downing their drinks.
The hot pot was bubbling away, and laughter filled the air.
The next morning, as the sunlight shone on Jiang Yang's face, he stretched, got up, quickly washed up, and went out.
As Jiang Yang walked along the tree-lined path at school, he saw Zhou Limin in the distance. She was wearing a light blue dress today, which made her look even more delicate and pretty.
"Senior Sister!" Jiang Yang strode forward and greeted her with a smile.
"Thank you so much for yesterday! If it weren't for your help, I don't know how long it would have dragged on with ASUS."
Zhou Limin smiled, revealing two small dimples on her face.
"Why are you being so polite with me? It's good that the supplier issue is resolved, so you can relax."
She paused, then said with concern, "Besides, your problems are my problems. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just let me know, don't hesitate to ask."
Jiang Yang felt a warmth in his heart; this senior sister was truly wonderful!
"Hey, senior sister, you were absolutely right!"
Jiang Yang scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I do have something I'd like to ask you for help with."
"Oh?"
Zhou Limin raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "What is it? Tell me."
"That's it..."
Jiang Yang cleared his throat and began to talk about his last trip to Guangcheng: "Senior sister, you don't know, when I was in Guangcheng, I saw so many people copying Yang Xin's clothes..."
He told Zhou Limin everything he had seen in Guangcheng and his concerns about the future development of "Yangxin".
When it comes to intellectual property and patent protection, Jiang Yang gets serious.
"Senior sister, this is no small matter! Yang Xin is still young, so the losses can be mitigated. But if things continue like this, allowing others to easily imitate her, Yang Xin will collapse sooner or later!"
This problem needs to be solved quickly, otherwise it will cause big trouble.
"Senior sister, the Zhou family has influence in Beijing, and some family members work in the legislative department. Could you do me a favor and get this matter reported to higher authorities? I hope that laws can be enacted as soon as possible to protect those of us who run businesses."
