Chapter 1793

Relying on his contacts and business ability accumulated in the Chen family for many years, Lin Maosheng managed to sell the facade of a restaurant near Wangfujing. After more than two months of decoration and preparation, Lin Maosheng is finally ready to set a date for opening.

However, shortly after all his business licenses were completed, a group of people came directly to the door. This group claimed to be members of the Beijing Food Association and forced Lin Maosheng to join the association and pay hundreds of thousands of high dues a year.

If you don't pay these fees, you can't open a hotel in Beijing. The momentum of those people is very fierce. They have the meaning of smashing the whole store if they don't agree with each other.

At the beginning, Lin Maosheng didn't know these hidden rules of the catering industry in the capital. He thought that these people might be small gangsters and local ruffians, who specifically collect protection fees under various names.

However, after some investigation, he found that these people really belong to the Beijing Food Association, and the association really openly monopolized and blackmailed the new hotel and forced them to pay high membership fees.

"What should I do? President Lin, do we really have to pay such a high membership fee? They obviously deceive people too much! "

Lin Maosheng, who has no experience in food and beverage industry, has encountered such a problem before the opening of the hero restaurant Wangfujing store. Ye Xiong, deputy general manager recruited by his side, also said angrily.

"What can I do? It's not that you don't know. In the capital, as long as the restaurants and restaurants are on a large scale, they must be members of the capital Food Association. Otherwise, they have 100 ways to make your store impossible... "

With one hand on the table, Lin Maosheng also felt great pressure. After all, since he came back from Zhi'an City, he has completely broken with the Chen family. Although he has not divorced his wife Chen Hui, he has basically drawn a line with the Chen family and no longer depends on any contacts and financial support of the Chen family.

In order to open this hero restaurant, he has spent millions of savings and borrowed more than one million yuan to rent and decorate the restaurant. The rest of the money is just a start-up fund. If you pay such a large membership fee of hundreds of thousands, I'm afraid the funds that need to be invested in the early stage will have to be borrowed.

However, if you don't pay the money, once the hotel opens, the people of the Beijing Food Association will certainly come to trouble.

"Mr. Lin, if we can't, we can only pay the money first. Today seems to be the last payment date they said. If they don't pay... "

Ye Xiong, deputy general manager, also sighed and shook his head, "I have encountered such problems in several hotels before. Moreover, it has almost formed the hidden rules of the whole restaurant business in Beijing. There is no way to open a shop in Beijing without paying this sum of money. "

"Yes! No way, it seems... We can only pay this sum of money first, and then talk about it after opening. As for whether to pay this sum of money every year in the future, let's talk about it! But as long as the hero restaurant opens, with our menu, we can certainly gain a foothold in the capital. "

Over the past two months, Lin Maosheng has been busy. He has recruited almost everything he opened the store, including personnel recruitment. Ye Xiong, the deputy general manager, has many years of experience in the catering industry, and he himself is a loyal customer of hero restaurant. He once visited Zhi'an city by chance. After eating the delicious food of hero restaurant, he always wanted to open a branch in Beijing.

But unfortunately, the hero restaurant will not easily authorize others, so ye Xiong's idea has been abandoned. Knowing that he heard that Lin Maosheng, Lin Feng's uncle, had the chain operation qualification of hero restaurant's Beijing Branch, he immediately quit his job as general manager of the hotel and followed him.

However, even ye Xiong, a veteran of the catering industry in Beijing, has no way to deal with the Beijing Food Association.

"Yes! President Lin, I've eaten every dish in hero restaurant. It's really delicious. It's a few blocks away from those star hotels. As long as it's open, you can definitely hit the word of mouth in a short time... "Ye Xiong also said confidently.

"Good! In that case, I'll give the 400000 membership fee to the people of the Beijing Food Association today. I hope they won't make trouble again in a short time... "

When Lin Maosheng was about to go out to the headquarters of the Beijing Food Association to pay, his mobile phone suddenly rang. When he picked up his mobile phone, he was immediately happy and hurried to receive: "Hello! Victory! Why are you calling me when you're free? I just planned to call you in the next few days to inform you of the opening time of the Beijing Branch! I'll invite you to come to the capital for a few days and attend the opening ceremony of our new store! "

"Brother, Guizhu and I have arrived in the capital. Xiaofeng bought us a villa in the capital, so he picked us up." Lin Shengli said with a smile on the other end of the phone.

"What? You and your sister-in-law have been in Beijing for so many days? Why don't you tell me first! " Lin Maosheng also said with a surprised look. Now he has awakened and the feelings of his brothers have returned to the past.

"Aren't you afraid you're busy? After all, it's not as easy to prepare a new store in the capital as in Zhian city. Today, Guizhu and I have nothing to do. Where's the address of your shop? Guizhu and I are going to visit now. Let's stop by and see if... Can I help you... "

Father Lin said with a smile that he hadn't seen his eldest brother for months. He hadn't seen him since he repaired. His brothers missed each other more and more.

"Yes! Brother, after all, Lao Lin and I prepared the hero restaurant in Zhi'an city. How much can I help you... "Lin's mother also said.

"Yes! Shengli, Guizhu, the address of our new store is 315 Wangfujing Street. Where do you live now? Why don't I drive to pick you up? " Lin Maosheng said.

"No! no need! We'll just drive there by ourselves. Xiaofeng's car is also driving to the capital. You're not far from us. Let's do it first, brother. I'll see you later. "

After making an appointment, Lin Shengli hung up. Lin Maosheng, who was in Wangfujing store, just left the store and quickly turned back. His subordinate Ye Xiong asked strangely, "President Lin, what's going on? Aren't you going out to pay your dues? Why are you back? "
