Chapter 565: Chapter 565: Flying across the Pacific Ocean When the restaurant project of the Entrepreneurship Club was officially launched, all members of the club, except for the president, who did not show up, were there.
Listening to the sound of the electric drill from the interior decoration company in the restaurant, and the large piece of painted artwork surrounding the entrance, everyone's faces were a mixture of pride and excitement. After nearly a year of preparation, today, they were finally going to start their business in earnest.
The piece of spray-painted artwork surrounding the entrance had the name of the restaurant, and it was a very impressive name. Just looking at it made you feel a sense of pride.
Two of the three characters are carved from the chairman's calligraphy: 'Tianjiao' (Heavenly Pride), and a very small one, in official script, 'ju' (residence). Together, they make 'Tianjiao Ju' (Heavenly Pride Residence).
When Feng Yiping first saw the name, he thought it was too domineering and didn't quite fit with the middle-of-the-road approach he follows.
It doesn't seem to be saying that the people who come to the restaurant are heavenly pride, it's emphasising that this restaurant was started by a group of 'princes of the sky'!
However, their opposing view is also very strong, and it uses Feng Yiping's spear to attack Feng Yiping's shield. 'Everyone thinks what you said at the beginning was very right. When you come to our restaurant, it's not about what you want to eat, but what we have. If you don't want to eat these, and want to order something else, sorry, go away. This is already very arrogant, okay? Coupled with this name, it doesn't complement each other?'
Well, this opinion seems to be very strong as well.
Feng Yiping couldn't help but think of a movie he had seen, A Very Good Year, in which the restaurant owner's wife, French Rose, played by Marion Cotillard, said to Rossocrow, 'Remember, in France, if someone complains, the customer is always wrong,'
He, who is also in the service industry, thought at the time that this was a very powerful and domineering statement!
Indeed, although the saying 'the customer is always right' is most often heard in the service industry, at least in the catering industry, if you think about it, it is really not the case.
Otherwise, go to KFC and order a Big Mac and see if they still treat you like a god or push you out the door.
They have actually long ago used various means to confine the 'god' in their mouths to a very small range.
So be it. Just do it to the extreme. Don't put the customer first, don't play the trick of saying that the customer is always right. Just do your best with the restaurant's food. Maybe, just maybe, it will be a hit?
So, this domineering and self-satisfied name was set in stone.
The first CEO, well, they just insisted on using such a lofty name.
They also said that this was a reflection of everyone's confidence, and that such a lofty name showed everyone's determination to turn Tianjiao Ju into a first-class domestic restaurant chain.
The first CEO, Jinbao, was a really dedicated and hardworking employee. 'Everyone go home, I'll stay here and keep an eye on things. Everyone else will come in shifts to make sure that there is always someone on site every day.'
'Take this,' said Cai Yawen, who was running for the head of the administrative department, and handed Jin Bao a DV. "Make sure you record the changes in our first restaurant every day,'
'Don't worry!" Jin Bao said solemnly, 'I'll definitely take more pictures,'
I have to say, these guys really think far ahead, and they really think a lot. They are also bursting with confidence, and they don't consider failure.
Because only if they succeed will these video materials become more precious image materials in the future. In case of failure, these will be a mark of shame, won't they?
...
President Feng is currently waiting at the airport in the capital.
At this time of year, there are not many direct flights from China to the United States, and there are even fewer direct flights to New York. There are only connecting flights, which are not ideal in terms of time or safety. Therefore, he will first fly to San Francisco, inspect the American branch office on the way, and then fly to New York in the eastern United States.
However, after learning about the specific flight route, his other wish was dashed.
Currently, domestic flights to the United States still cannot take the Arctic route and still have to cross the Pacific Ocean, so the aurora borealis will not be visible this time either.
It can be said that the fighting nation is really something, although flights from Asia to North America take the shortest route via the Arctic, they just do not approve of those air rights agreements.
During the time of the former Soviet Union, the airspace as a whole was closed, and those who did not believe in evil, such as the civilian aircraft from South Korea, were shot down without hesitation.
Now, it seems that only the leader's plane is allowed to fly the Arctic route when visiting other countries. For example, in September, when the United Nations held the Millennium Assembly of Speakers of Parliament, the plane of the Chairman of the National People's Congress flew directly from the Arctic to New York.
As for the full opening of the Arctic route to domestic civilian flights, it seems that it will not be until next year or the year after next.
Just after 4 o'clock, United Airlines flight UA802 from the capital to San Francisco notified passengers to board.
Feng Yiping is still carrying his backpack and chewing gum. After checking in, he looks completely unconcerned as he walks along the boarding bridge.
In fact, he is still a little excited. This is his first trip to the United States, in both his past and present lives.
Yes, in another time and place, he has never been to the United States. He is really not happy about having to apply for a US visa. There are so many requirements, for example, you have to go on a tourist trip, send them money, and also disclose your financial situation.
How can a country that values privacy above all else set up such a problem that seriously infringes on the privacy of others? If Americans applying for a visa to come to our country were also required to submit a property report, would they cooperate? I'm afraid they would start screaming about human rights again.

Besides, there are so many beautiful places to visit in the country, why go all the way abroad? It's not like the moon is really any more beautiful over there.
Meanwhile, in both lives combined, this was the first time he had ever flown first class, and it was on an international flight, in the true sense of the word.
It wasn't to show off or to flaunt his superiority. Domestic flights were fine, just a few hours, but this flight to San Francisco would take more than ten hours, and his butt would really hurt. If he was unlucky and was seated next to a very large person, it would be really sad.
When he arrived in the first class cabin, he was once again greatly disappointed. It wasn't the hardware that was bad, but the software that had not kept up.
Where was the flight attendant with blonde hair and blue eyes and a small waist and a perky butt that he had been promised? Why was it an older flight aunt?
And the person sitting next to him wasn't a beautiful woman either, not even a woman, but a young foreign man with long hair on the back of his hands.
Feng Yiping, who had suffered several blows in quick succession, really had no interest in talking to him. After saying 'hi,' he just stared out the window.
Shortly after taking off on time, Feng Yiping finally encountered something that made him happy: the first-class in-flight meal was really good. In addition to Western food, the menu also included Chinese food such as Capital Noodles, Barbecued Duck, and Boneless Spare Ribs.
After the meal, the cabin became a little more lively. Looking out at the vast Pacific Ocean below, many acquaintances and strangers struck up a conversation with the person next to them.
The young foreigner with long hair and an older foreigner in the aisle struck up a conversation. After a few words, he smiled and asked Feng Yiping, 'First time in San Francisco? Nervous?'
He took Feng Yiping's low mood when he first got on the plane as nervousness.
'Yes, it's my first time,'
Feng Yiping was about to watch TV, but the foreigner was in a good mood to chat. Perhaps it was because Feng Yiping was younger than him, and they were sitting on the same Boeing airliner, talking about the prosperity of San Francisco. Although it wasn't explicitly stated, the sense of superiority was hard to hide.
And although Feng Yiping kept on nodding his head, the guy took him for a good listener.
Feng Yiping understood that these American guys probably felt the same way about our country as we felt about the country we visited later on. However, he still couldn't stand his tone.
Feng Yiping was impatient, why did he have to meet such a self-absorbed, chatty guy.
Finally, after the guy bragged, 'When I was in 11th grade, I was already flying first class to and from Asia alone,' Feng Yiping spoke up. Isn't that just bragging? It's like everyone can do it. 'When my grandfather took the first transatlantic flight, the planes back then still had windows that could be opened to let in some air,'
'Open the plane window to let in some air?' The idiot next to him pointed at Feng Yiping and laughed in a very unpresentable manner.
