Zhang Ye originally thought it was a kind of relatively formal interview, with what camera, with the camera staff, as well as her this host.
To her surprise, Meilin just took out a small recording pen, started it and put it between Zhang Ye and her, then said with a smile:
"let's start."
Huh?
Zhang Ye was stunned and asked:
"is your interview so simple?"
"Yes, why, aren't you satisfied with such a simple interview?" Merlin asked, puzzled.
"That's not true. I thought it would be more complicated, but it's better. It's like chatting among friends. I prefer this way." Zhang Ye smile, the whole person has become very relaxed.
Although he has seen a lot of big scenes, in some occasions where he needs to put on airs, he also wants to put on airs, such as the kind of interview he thinks.
But now that he understood that it was just a way of chatting, he would become relaxed and comfortable on the sofa.
However, his action made Merlin a little surprised. Originally, she wanted to tell him to relax a little and not to be too nervous, but she didn't expect Zhang Ye to relax himself, and still very relaxed.
But it's better and easier for her to sneak on some sharp problems.
With a smile, Merlin looked through the questions she had prepared and said to Zhang Ye:
"frank, do you want to introduce yourself or something?"
"Introduce yourself? Didn't you conduct any investigation before you interviewed me? " Zhang Ye asked suspiciously.
"Well, I have done it, but it's not as clear as what you said. Moreover, we can judge from your self introduction what kind of attitude you have towards your current situation." Merlin explained.
"So it is. All right."
Zhang Ye nodded and pondered:
"my name is Zhang Ye. My English name is frank. I'm 29 years old and married. I'm the chairman of Longteng group and the founder of Weixiang. Er, that's about it."
"What do you mean, that's about it, Frank? Do you have any other identities you can't easily identify?" Meilin is worthy of being an expert in this field. He immediately catches Zhang Ye's little speech sickness and raises a sharp question.
"This..."
Zhang Ye was a bit unprepared by the attack.
Other inconvenient identities?
Does the leader of the Dragon Team count? Does the star Lord count? Is the world's first friar in the realm of five products?
However, he just thought about it in his heart, and did not show it at all. Instead, he said with a smile:
"of course, I'm a father of several children and an ordinary cook. These are very common identities, so I don't have to show them."
Ha ha!
Meilin was amused by Zhang Ye's words, nodded and continued:
"indeed, if you are not a chef, you will not be able to create a global catering empire. Mr. Frank, I'd like to ask, when did you begin to have the idea of pushing Weixiang to the whole world
"Well About a few years ago, when my Weixiang moved for the first time, I had this idea at that time. " Zhang Ye nodded.
"Well, Mr. Frank was ambitious when he was young, and now you have really done it. What do you think of Weixiang? Do you plan to monopolize the Chinese food market all over the world? " Once again, Merlin asked a sharp question.
Monopoly!
It's a word that companies all over the world are trying to get into, even though they want to do it every day.
"Ha ha, I'm afraid the word monopoly is too big to be used in Weixiang. China has been a great country for five thousand years. After many vicissitudes, the delicious food handed down is as numerous as the stars in the sky. Even if Weixiang has done everything, it is impossible to show one in ten thousand. If you want to monopolize Chinese food, you really look up to us. "
Zhang Ye skillfully answered this question.
Ah!
Meilin looks at Zhang Ye admiringly, but sighs in her heart. Obviously, Zhang Ye is not so easy to deal with. He is a veteran of the ups and downs of the business world. He has a clear mind about what to say and what not to say.
"Mr. Frank, in fact, all the time, there are legends about your excellent cooking skills in every flavor town and picnic restaurant all over the world. Even Bruce Yao, who is now famous in New York, is full of praise for your cooking skills, saying that his cooking skills are less than one thousandth of yours. I really want to know what kind of level your cooking skills have reached." Merlin asked again with a smile.
"What kind of standard..."
Zhang Ye chewed this sentence lightly. In fact, it seems insipid. In fact, there are many pitfalls. If you say too much, you will be suspected of bragging. But if you say too modest, you will be looked down upon, especially in front of these American people who don't know how to be modest."I can only say that I'm a little successful in cooking."
He gave such an ambiguous answer, once again skilfully bypassing Merlin's question.
However, Merlin was not so easy to fool, and immediately asked:
"I don't know what kind of standard Mr. Frank has in mind is a little success. If Michelin is to judge, what kind of standard do you think your cooking skill is?"
"Michelin?"
There was a slight irony in the corner of Zhang Ye's mouth, and he said faintly:
"Miss Merlin, I think you misunderstood. I won't let them judge Chinese food."
"Ah? Why? " Merlin was surprised, but there was some cheering in her heart. It seemed that the warm conversation would finally start to become hot.
"The answer is simple, they are not qualified." Zhang Ye has a voice on the ground.
This
Meilin originally thought that Zhang ye would reveal this meaning implicitly, and then let her figure it out to understand it. However, she didn't expect that Zhang Ye was so hot, and directly blew out the most direct idea in her heart without reservation.
Not qualified?
These four words alone are so popular that she even thought of the theme of this interview.
The godfather of World Chinese food says that Michelin is not qualified.
In order to produce more popular materials, Merlin immediately asked again:
"Mr. Frank, you are exaggerating. Michelin represents the highest level in the world. Why do you think they are not qualified to judge you? "
"No, Miss Merlin, I think you misunderstood what I said just now."
However, Zhang Ye suddenly made a turning point. When Meilin was stunned, he burst out a more powerful topic:
"I didn't say that Michelin was not qualified to evaluate me, but they didn't even have the qualification to evaluate Chinese food."
Hiss!
Merlin took a breath of air. It was like Michelin declaring war.
