The organizer of the event was the Cloud City Government. If any enterprises wanted to participate in the event, they would have to report this to the activity planning team organized by the government.

There are entertainment performances and food entertainment experiences in the event. In terms of performance and entertainment, Zhang Yitian obviously had no way of meddling in it. However, delicacies were a very good entry point.

At that time, the local government would organize a delicacy event on an unprecedented scale. In fact, Zhang Yitian thought that he could directly monopolize the supply of vegetables for the entire experience.

However, no matter how much he tried to communicate with them, it was useless in the end because there were still a lot of people who had the same idea, but none of them succeeded.

After considering it over and over again, Zhang Yitian decided to change his way of thinking.

During the gourmet food experience event, the organizers would choose a special area, which would include the most famous snacks and branded hotels in the entire Linyi.

Zhang Yitian had a rough understanding of the number of companies that had signed up. But of these hundred companies, only sixty to seventy of them had the ability to stand out after going through many selections.

These were all businesses left behind by the tourism industry in the Yuncheng that had flourished for many years, Zhang Yitian did not even think about getting into a sedan to wear it.

After all, he had plenty of money on hand. As long as one of the families passed the examination and passed the test, he would be able to buy it himself.

This was indeed a shortcut, and could save Zhang Yitian a lot of detour. Furthermore, it was not difficult to obtain a list of names that could possibly stand out from the rest of the business.

Zhang Yitian fawned over the organizers and obtained a list of 30 food brands that had already entered the competition. There were still over 60 that were still waiting for approval.

In order to get this list, Zhang Yitian had even specially arranged for a leader of the organizers to be the guest.

This person had the surname of Chen. He was a Division Chief in his early forties and had a full front hall. However, his hair was already falling out.

Management Head Chen, who was in the Yuncheng Tourism Division, heard that Zhang Yitian wanted to arrange a meal for him, so he naturally agreed without hesitation.

Zhang Yitian immediately went to one of the best restaurants in the Yuncheng. Here, the price of a single dish was only around one thousand or so, but Zhang Yitian was generous enough to order a table.

This type of moat really shocked this Division Chief Chen to the core.

For a twenty-something-year-old to easily eat more than ten thousand meals, what kind of background did he have?

Division Chief Chen clearly understood that this Zhang Yitian was an extraordinary person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have directly tried to monopolize the vegetables supply like how he tried to open his mouth wide.

His intuition told him that this person wasn't simple. Moreover, he was just a junior division chief. If he were to be associated with such a person …

In the end, Division Chief Chen told Zhang Yitian, "Previously, you said that you planned to monopolize the entire activity of supplying vegetables, that was impossible. How many people are eyeing this big cake?

He then said, "However, if you really want to promote your own vegetables, it's possible to buy off several restaurants' supply of vegetables. I can help you connect the dots, but …"

Zhang Yitian laughed and shook his head: "No no no, Division Chief Chen, you misunderstood me. Since I cannot buy off this right of supply, then there is no meaning for me to supply these businesses!"

Division Chief Chen suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Originally, he had wanted to use this opportunity to gain some benefits, but from the looks of it, he was going to fail.

Zhang Yitian paused for a while, then continued, "Division Chief Chen, do you think it's possible for me to buy a restaurant? You can build this bridge for me! "

Division Chief Chen was immediately startled, and looked at Zhang Yitian with a shocked expression, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Buy a restaurant? This bullshit is not small at all.

Having been in the tourism department for so many years, Division Chief Chen naturally had a thorough understanding of Yuncheng's catering business.

Not to mention anything else, even the hundred and ten restaurant companies that had signed up were all survivors after many years of intense competition in the tourism industry. Which restaurant had not endured until today after eliminating a large number of opponents?

Therefore, although some of these businesses weren't big, their reputations were already on the outside. Even a famous few hundred square meters store, under the nourishment of the huge tourism market called Yuncheng, would have tens of millions of profits every year.

But Zhang Yitian wanted to buy a shop right away...

Division Chief Chen sized Zhang Yitian up and ridiculed him: "Boss Zhang, do you know how much money is needed?"

Zhang Yitian shook his head: "I don't know!"

"Let me put it this way for you, Yuncheng's restaurant business is divided into three categories, A type is the landmark food brand, and the value of just one brand alone is over ten million. If you add in the scale of assets of the business, there is no way to take down this kind of business without thirty or fifty million!"

Chief Chen straightened a few strands of hair on his forehead and then said, "A B Class enterprise, if you want to win such a enterprise, you would probably need tens of millions! "Alright, last but not the C class. A few days ago, I even made a deal and the seller asked for 5 million, not giving me a single cent!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yitian laughed, he knew in his heart that Management Head Chen wanted him to retreat after knowing the difficulties.

But this obviously wasn't his character. Zhang Yitian thought for a moment, then said: "How about this, Division Chief Chen, help me settle a B Class restaurant. How about it?"

Hearing Zhang Yitian's words, Division Chief Chen seemed to have swallowed a fly as he was unable to remain calm. He looked at Zhang Yitian in shock and was unable to say anything for a long while.

His heart was like water dropped into a frying pan, and immediately burst into flames.

He had just said that the B class enterprise would be priced at 10 million. That was 10 million, not a thousand!

Zhang Yitian said so casually, it was really hard for him to take it.

Moments later, Division Chief Chen hesitantly asked, "Boss Zhang, you just want to advertise your own vegetables. This..." It's easy to buy a restaurant in the tens of millions, is it worth it? "

Zhang Yitian laughed, "Division Chief Chen, just remove your 'what'! "Of course, if Division Chief Chen is willing to help, I will certainly not reject your kindness. If I can handle this matter well, I will surely reward Division Chief Chen handsomely!"

"Ugh …" Haha, that's good, that's good! " Chief Chen said somewhat embarrassedly, "Director Zhang, if you say it like that, then it is because you are looking out for us. Don't worry, I will do this matter well! "Definitely, definitely …"

When Zhang Yitian returned to the hotel, it was already 9 in the evening. He went to sleep early, and in the morning, Management Head Chen took the initiative to come to him.

He brought some materials with him. It was a rather famous brand name among the five type B restaurant companies in Yuncheng.

Zhang Yitian looked around, there was a chain of hotpot restaurants, it was obviously not good, the hotpot was mainly made with meat, and it did not have the effect of promoting vegetables like he wanted.

There were still two Chinese cuisines, but they were both sold out by Zhang Yitian in the end.

The last two families also had Chinese cuisines, but their tastes were vegetarian. As for the last family, Zhang Yitian was interested in them because they were a vegetarian restaurant.

This was a restaurant that only had a single storefront, and it had been operating in the Yuncheng for four to five years. Its performance was average and it did not make much profit, but fortunately, it had not run short of money.

For a vegetarian to be able to consume food like this could be considered a type of ability.

"Vegetarianism?" Zhang Yitian muttered to himself.

"Yes, I have been to this shop before. The location is a little off. Chief Chen paused before saying, "However, the influence of this store is limited. Its promotional ability might not be as good as you expected! Why don't you take a look at this Tianyuan Dining Hall? It's one of the top ten Chinese food brands in Yuncheng, and is ranked in the top few of the B Class restaurant companies! "

Zhang Yitian shook his head. This surnamed Chen had told him before that the value of the B class enterprise was around 10 million. However, the Sky Origin Dining Hall that he mentioned had a price tag of 20 million.

On the other hand, this vegetarianism was priced at only 8 million. Zhang Yitian looked at Division Chief Chen.

"This is it!" Zhang Yitian pointed to the name of the vegetarianism, "I hope to buy it as soon as possible, I still need to trouble Division Chief Chen to do so."

Seeing that Zhang Yitian made up his mind so quickly, Management Head Chen's face twitched, and inwardly scolded Zhang Yitian for being smart.

Actually, before Division Chief Chen came here, he had already informed the boss of Tian Yuan Restaurant about it. He helped Zhang Yitian buy Tian Yuan, and Tian Yuan gave him a profit from it.

But in the end, Zhang Yitian still did not take the bait, which left Division Chief Chen helpless.

Although he could tell that Zhang Yitian was an absolute tycoon, he never thought that this guy was even more shrewd, as if he had already seen through him.

If that was the case, then he wouldn't be able to earn that much money. Now, he could only place his hopes on this vegetarianism.

If he was able to help out of it, allowing Zhang Yitian to save on expenses, maybe in terms of rewards, Zhang Yitian would be able to be a bit more generous.

"Then... Shall we go and take a look? " Chief Chen suggested.

Zhang Yitian nodded.

Half an hour later, Toyota Road slowly pulled into a restaurant in the southern part of Cloud City.

Vegetarianism. This restaurant's area was not big, and its decorations were average, similar to most of the restaurants' impressions that Zhang Yitian had seen on the way.

The two didn't directly say why they were here, but rather walked around.

The interior decoration was ordinary, not luxurious at all. Moreover, it was almost noon, so it should be time for lunch. However, there were not many customers in the store, only a few people at the tables.

Zhang Yitian looked at the dishes on the table. They were average and did not have any special characteristics. The same goes for the menu.

This kind of store seemed to be even worse than what Zhang Yitian had imagined.

Zhang Yitian's face was solemn, obviously a little disappointed.

But Division Chief Chen explained to him, "Actually, our Yuncheng and the majority of the catering companies are the same. We are eating tourism, and this is not the peak season for tourists, so we all live off tourists. When the time is tight, we all don't have the mood to go to restaurants anymore!"

Zhang Yitian nodded and followed Division Chief Chen directly to the second floor.

Division Chief Chen said, "I just made a call and told them to prepare in advance. The boss happened to be there too …"

Zhang Yitian could tell that this surnamed Chen most likely came here often, so he seemed to be extremely familiar with this place.

When he reached the second floor, he pushed open the door of a private room and gestured for Zhang Yitian to go in first.

Zhang Yitian walked into the private room and first saw the table full of vegan dishes, then noticed the two people who stood up.

On the opposite side was a man and a woman. The man was slightly fat, estimated to be in his forties, and the woman's age was also similar. From their actions, Zhang Yitian could tell that the two of them should be husband and wife.
