Wangfujing, Lin Maosheng, relying on his personal connections and business abilities accumulated in the Chen family for many years, finally managed to take down the facade of a restaurant near Wangfujing. After more than two months of decoration and preparations, it finally took a few days. Ready to set a date for opening.
However, shortly after all his business licenses were issued, a group of people came directly to the door. This group claimed to belong to the Beijing Gastronomy Association and forced Lin Maosheng to join the association and pay a high membership fee of several hundred thousand a year.
If you don't pay these fees, you can never open a hotel in the capital. The aura of those people was very fierce, and there was a big meaning of smashing the whole shop if they didn't agree.
At the beginning, Lin Maosheng didn't know the unspoken rules of the catering industry in the capital. He thought that these people might be the gangsters and bullies who used various names to collect protection fees.
However, after investigating, he discovered that these people actually belonged to the Beijing Gastronomy Association, and that the association really blatantly monopolized and blackmailed the new restaurant, forcing the membership to pay high membership fees.
"What to do? President Lin, do we really have to pay such a high membership fee? They are obviously deceiving people too much!"
The Wangfujing Store in Heroes' Restaurant had not yet opened, and encountered such a problem. Lin Maosheng, who had no experience in the catering industry, was very troubled. Ye Xiong, the deputy general manager recruited by his side, also said angrily.
"What can you do then? You don't know. In Beijing, as long as you go to a large-scale restaurant, you must be a member of the Beijing Food Association. Otherwise, they have a hundred ways to make your store unopen. ..."
With one hand on the table, Lin Maosheng also felt a lot of pressure. After all, since he returned 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 clear line from the Chen family and no longer depends on any contacts and contacts of the Chen family. Financial support.
In order to open this heroic restaurant, he has spent millions of savings and borrowed more than one million, before reluctantly renting the restaurant and renovating it. The remaining money is just a start-up fund. If you pay such a large amount of hundreds of thousands of dues, I am afraid that the funds that need to be invested in the early stage will have to be borrowed again.
However, if you don't pay the money, once the restaurant opens, the people from the Beijing Food Association will definitely come to trouble.
"Mr. Lin, then... if it doesn't work, we can only pay the money first. Today seems to be the last payment date they said, if not..."
Deputy General Manager Ye Xiong also sighed and shook his head, "I have encountered this problem in several restaurants before. Moreover, the unspoken rules of the entire Beijing restaurant business have almost formed. With this sum of money, there is no way to open a shop in Beijing."
"Yeah! There is no way, it seems... we can only pay the money first, and then talk about it after the opening. As for whether the money will be paid every year in the future, let's talk about it! But as long as the hero restaurant When we open it, we can definitely gain a foothold in the capital with our recipes."
In the past two months, after Lin Maosheng was busy, he ran around almost everything in the store, including the recruitment of personnel, which he recruited one by one. The deputy general manager, Ye Xiong, has many years of experience in the catering industry, and he himself is a loyal customer of Hero Restaurant. After a chance to travel to Zhi'an City and eat the delicious food of Hero Restaurant, he always wanted to To open a branch in Beijing.
However, it is a pity that Heroes' Restaurant will not easily authorize external parties, so Ye Xiong's idea has been given up. Knowing that he had heard that Lin Maosheng, as Lin Feng's uncle, had the qualification of chain operation of the Beijing Branch of Heroes Restaurant, he immediately quit his job as the general manager of the hotel and followed.
However, even Ye Xiong, an old fried dough stick in the Beijing catering industry, has no way to deal with the Beijing Food Association.
"Yes! President Lin, I have eaten every dish of Heroes Restaurant. It is really delicious. It is a few blocks away from those star-rated restaurants. As long as it is opened, you can definitely hit the word of mouth in a short time. That..." Ye Xiong also said confidently.
"Okay! In that case, I will go to give the 400,000 membership fee to the people of the Beijing Food Association today, and I hope they won't come to make trouble again in a short time..."
When Lin Maosheng was about to go out to pay the fee at the headquarters of the Beijing Food Association, suddenly his cell phone rang. He picked up the cell phone and looked at it and he was immediately overjoyed. He hurriedly received: "Hey! Victory! Why are you free to pay? I'm calling? I just planned to call you in the next few days to inform you of the opening time of the Beijing branch! I will invite you to come to Beijing for a few days and participate in the opening ceremony of our new store!"
"Brother, Guizhu and I have already arrived in the capital Xiaofeng bought a villa for us in the capital, so he took us all over." Lin Shengli said with a smile on the phone.
"What? You and your younger siblings have been in the capital for so many days? Why didn't you tell me first!" Lin Maosheng also said with surprise, and now he wakes up, and the brothers' feelings have returned to the past.
"Isn’t I afraid you’re busy? After all, preparing a new store in the capital is not as easy as our Chi’an city. I just happened to have nothing to do with Guizhu today. Where is the address of your store? Guizhu and I are now in the past. Take a tour, stop by and see... can I help you..."
Father Lin said with a smile, he hadn't seen his eldest brother for several months, and he hadn't seen each other ever since he recovered well, and the brothers missed each other more and more.
"Yes! Big brother, after all, the hero restaurant in Zhi'an City was prepared by me and Lao Lin together. How much can I help you..." Mother Lin also said to the side.
"Okay! Shengli, Guizhu, the address of our new store is 315 Wangfujing Street, where do you live now? Or should I drive to pick you up?" Lin Maosheng said.
"No! No! We can drive there by ourselves, Xiaofeng's car is also coming to the capital. Yours is not very far from us, so first, brother, we'll see you later."
After an appointment, Lin Shengli hung up the phone. But Lin Maosheng in the Wangfujing store just left the store and quickly turned back. Ye Xiong underneath asked strangely: "Mr. Lin, what's the matter? Don't you go out to pay the membership fee? came back?"
