Chapter 42
“I believe everyone would have heard some rumors yesterday regarding First-grade Restaurant having a new Boss . Let us welcome our new boss, Director Wang . ”
Within First-grade Restaurant, Manager Huang gathered all the employees after they were done with their work in the restaurant at approximately three o’clock in the afternoon .
“Hello everyone, I’m Wang Xian and will be the boss of this restaurant in the future . ”
Wang Xian walked up and smiled faintly at the crowd . The entire restaurant had fifty employees currently . The employee count was considered to be high among restaurants .
Just the number of waitresses alone had reached thirty people .
Similarly, this helped to guarantee service quality .
“So young!” A female waitress looked at Wang Xian and exclaimed when she couldn’t contain her bewilderment .
All the employees looked inquisitively at Wang Xian .
Indeed, Wang Xian was too young to the point that he didn’t look like a boss . They were all older than Wang Xian .
Seeing this, Wang Xian lifted his head slightly and released a surge of Dragon Power towards them .
“The restaurant will operate as always . Since I’m taking over this place, I have to make some changes to this restaurant . The first change will be to increase all employees’ base salary by 10% . Other rules will remain the same as for now . Don’t think that I’m easy to fool just because I’m young . When I have to fire someone, I won’t be soft . ”
“I have inquired about your jobs and salary . What I’m trying to say is that your compensation will definitely be better now than it was with Director Li . I’m more generous than Director Li . ”
As he spoke, he revealed a faint smile . “If you encounter any issues, you can look for Manager Huang or look for me directly . Everything could be discussed and I’m easy to talk to . However, if anyone makes a mistake, I wouldn’t be kind with my words either . ”
As Wang Xian spoke, the aura he emitted from his body made the atmosphere around him seem to have solidified .
It was as though everything under the skies had him as the focus .
The waitress, kitchen personnel, front desk personnel and other employees were all listening attentively .
They could feel a sense of might that originated from the soul from the young man in front of them .
“Alright, you guys can go and have a good rest . Head chef, bring along another chef and Manager Huang to come and see me for a while . ”
Wang Xian looked towards them and instructed them .
“Phew!” They felt like it was as though they had received an order and dispersed immediately . As they walked away, they were commenting softly .
“What the… Why does it feel like our current boss has an aura around him? He had a stronger majestic aura around him than Director Li . ”
“The new boss is indeed generous to directly increase our salary by 10% . This is equivalent to $400-$500!”
“What a young boss! He’s probably just about twenty . However, the boss has a majestic aura around him . Could it be that he is a rich second-generation from a large family?”
“The boss is so handsome! Young, handsome and rich! So cool!”
“Director Wang, Director Wang . ”
The head chef brought a chef along and walked over as they addressed him with smiles . However, they were still a little reserved .
Wang Xian was listening to the comments of his employees as he looked at the two chefs . He smiled and nodded his head .
This was the impact he had envisioned . As a boss, he had to be able to control his employees first and make his employees respect and fear him a little at the same time .
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to manage the company effectively . Currently, he had achieved the impact he wanted .
“Come, I’d like to know more about the operations of our current restaurant . ”
Wang Xian sat down with them at the waiting area by the side .
“Director Wang, these are our supply channels and these are some unique dishes we offered . ”
Manager Huang took out a booklet and passed it to him .
Wang Xian nodded his head . He had found out a little about these previously .
What was outstanding about First-grade Restaurant was that the variety of seafood it offered was large . Moreover, the chefs had great culinary skills and the restaurant had great service quality and a good environment .
For example, the caviar, Two-headed abalone and some precious seafood had a specialized purchaser . [1]
It was the uncle of Director Li previously who was the specialized purchaser . Now that Director Li had left, he had also resigned .
Nonetheless, the purchase channel was still intact .
Precious items like caviar were purchased directly from overseas and the costs were high . As for ordinary seafood, they were purchased from the seafood market .
Yellow croaker fish, true tunas and other precious seafood would have to be obtained from auctions by the sea . It would also be dependent on luck .
“Director Wang, our contract with Golden Lobster Managing Company is about to end and will not be renewed . We have to find other channels quickly . Besides that, we have to purchase a batch of caviar soon . Also, we are running out of top-quality ingredients in the restaurant,” Manager Huang said to Wang Xian .
Although there weren’t many customers who could afford top-quality ingredients, they were a symbol of strength and were a good publicity stunt .
For example, if one restaurant has two-headed abalone, Atlantic blue marlin, yellow croaker fish, Australian lobsters, large lobsters and other kinds of top-quality seafood put up as display, and the other restaurant doesn’t have such top-quality ingredients, this would be a distinct difference . One would have the impression that the first restaurant is better and the number of customers who would patronize it would be greater .
Therefore, Wang Xian had to find some top-quality ingredients for now .
“The supply of large lobsters from our seas is too little each day . Besides that, we don’t have ingredients such as caviar . ” Wang Xian shook his head slightly .
“Boss, we have to go to the seafood market early in the morning to get those ingredients . As for top-quality seafood, they aren’t in ample supply in the seafood market . Disregarding the high price of large lobsters and crabs, the quantity is limited too . Sometimes, we might not even be able to get it . If we use frozen ingredients, the taste would be a little worse off,” the chef explained .
“Leave the supply of seafood to me . ” Wang Xian nodded his head slightly and continued, “As for the rest, everything shall be the same as before . Besides that, Longxuan Restaurant would be opening soon . When they open for business, they will definitely organize some event . At that time, we must be able to keep up and play around with them . ”
“Boss, even if they wish to gain market share, we still have an advantage as our reputation has spread . As long as we can obtain sufficient top-quality seafood to attract traffic and maintain the quality of ordinary seafood, they would definitely not be a match for us . ” Manager Huang spoke confidently .
“Great . Let me handle the issue of top-quality ingredients . Head chef, I’ll leave the issue of the quality of ordinary seafood to you . ” Wang Xian nodded his head .
“Rest assured boss and leave it to us . The kitchen will ensure the quality of the seafood,” guaranteed the head chef .
“Alright, if there are any issues in the future, come and look for me . It’s fine too if it’s relating to your everyday life . ” Wang Xian smiled and patted on the head chef’s shoulders .
“Thank you, boss . ” The head chef smiled .
“Get rid of these fish tanks for ornamental fish in the middle . I’ll get bigger tanks and some ornamental fish,” Wang Xian instructed as he looked at the empty fish tanks in the middle of the restaurant .
The ornamental fish in them had been taken away by Director Li . It was initially used to keep the arowana that Director Li had borrowed from others .
It was an easy task for Wang Xian to get these ornamental fish .
At this point, he was considering if he should get some expensive ornamental fish to be used as a display .
