MTL - The Era of Hard Work-Chapter 767 The world's martial arts come from Shaolin
Chapter 767 The world's martial arts come out of Shaolin
In the reception room of Qingzhao Hotel, Lv Dong met the famous first master of Shaolin Temple.
This person with a big belly and a round face, wearing an ordinary yellow monk robe, with a string of brown beads hanging on his chest, has a smile on his face, quite a bit like a Maitreya Buddha.
Song Na, who specially accompanied Lu Dong, introduced Lu Dong and Master Shi.
Before Lu Dong came over, he made a detailed understanding of him. Combined with his past memories, he knew that he was a very powerful character, and he did not dare to underestimate him.
Master Shi folded his hands together and gave Lu Dong a slight salute: "I have heard about the name of Lu's Catering Manager for a long time, and I am honored to see it today."
Lu Dong is not religious, so out of courtesy, he also returned a salute: "Master is polite, I have admired Shaolin Temple for a long time."
Master Shi smiled slightly: "Mr. Lu is very polite."
Lu Dong said casually: "The world's martial arts comes from Shaolin, and Shaolin's martial arts is the best in the world." As if what he said were true: "I have practiced Sanda for many years, and strictly speaking, I am also a martial artist, and I admire Shaolin Temple! "
Master Shi is the old fox among the old foxes. Naturally, he does not believe what such a successful businessman said. Besides, he has come into contact with this person's fiancée. The standard female fox, the man is the backer of the woman, is not much better.
But in the same way, because the other party is a businessman, he will naturally consider his interests. Master Shi felt that there was a need for an interview.
Master Shi said: "This time, the monks came with me, and Mr. Lu wants to exchange martial arts experience, anytime."
He came here today, not to talk about martial arts and the martial arts group. Although there is a saying in the market that all martial arts in the world come from Shaolin, but his family knows his own family affairs. The heritage of martial monks and martial arts in Shaolin Temple has long been broken, and the current martial arts group is not a generation. Handed down from generation to generation, it was developed by the Shaolin Wushu Team he established in the 1980s in order to revive Shaolin.
As for other outside rumors, he didn't want to explain, and he couldn't explain it clearly, because the Shaolin monks' troupe was basically for performance, and it was for Shaolin Temple's participation in various activities to gain fame.
Master Shi was most interested in business promotion, so he turned the topic to business: "Mr. Lu, your Lu's Catering Company was established in early 1999, and it took only four years to sweep the whole country, doing business in the chain restaurant industry. To be first-class in the country is admirable.”
Lu Dong said with a smile: "Master's words are serious."
Song Na was sitting on the other side of Lu Dong. She had been in contact with Master Shi twice in Dengfeng. She had a certain understanding. When she heard this, she could guess. It was estimated that Shaolin Temple was interested in Lu's restaurant and wanted to seek cooperation.
Master Shi has presided over the business of Shaolin Temple since the late 1980s. It took more than ten years to restore the glory of Shaolin, and he is quite confident in the golden signboard of Shaolin Temple.
said at this time: "Shaolin Temple also intends to seek development in the catering industry. I wonder if Mr. Lu is interested in cooperation."
Lü Dong glanced at Master Shi in surprise. This man sat upright in the room, like a Maitreya Bodhisattva, but when he spoke, he was more like a businessman.
Worthy of being the No. 1 master of Shaolin Temple who continues the past and ushered in the future.
Lu Dong asked, "Can Lu's Catering cooperate with Shaolin Temple? Master just say it."
Before Master Shi came here, he really studied and understood. As an excellent CEO, he quickly found business opportunities in it. It is still a good opportunity to further expand the popularity of Shaolin Temple and increase the income of Shaolin Temple.
"People take food as their heaven. Every major holiday, Shaolin Temple will distribute fast food to the outside world to enjoy with believers." Master Shi seems to be telling a very meaningful thing: "Unfortunately, Shaolin Temple is limited to Dengfeng after all. Popularizing the local believers, but not allowing the believers from other places to taste the Shaolin Temple vegetarian meal, this has always been a regret of the Shaolin Temple monks."
Hearing this, Lu Dong immediately understood that the chain platform of Lu's Catering throughout the country attracted this master with excellent business acumen.
Lv Dong has never doubted the business vision and ability of this Master Shi. From the information he has learned these days, Master Shi demanded the Shaolin Temple to open an official website as early as 1996, and it is a multilingual version, using To promote Shaolin Temple.
In those days, there were a few companies that really realized the huge role of the Internet.
Master Shi continued: "Mr. Lu, your Lu's Catering Company has a platform and operation management, and the Shaolin Temple has a brand and unique craftsmanship. We can join forces to promote Shaolin Temple vegetarian food to the whole country."
Lu Dong has never eaten Shaolin Temple's vegetarian dishes, but in many books, the temple's vegetarian dishes are blown up in the sky and underground, and I don't know if it is true or not.
Could it be that the monk in charge of the temple is more powerful than the top chef of the hotel?
But on second thought, the cooking level of Shaolin Temple doesn’t matter. If it is really like what Master Shi said, to let believers all over the country eat Shaolin Temple’s vegetarian meals, it must be a chain operation to create a chain brand of Shaolin Temple’s vegetarian meals.
If this is the case, there are not enough chefs who pull out all the monks of Shaolin Temple and cook them.
The model must be to formulate a list of Shaolin Temple's vegetarian meals and hire an external chef.
Lu Dong asked directly: "Master Shi's meaning is that he wants to use Shaolin Temple's vegetarian food to create a brand new restaurant chain brand with Lu's Catering?"
Master Shi put his hands together, bowed his head slightly, and said, "It is precisely to give believers across the country the opportunity to taste Shaolin Temple's vegetarian dishes."
Sure enough, the masters are all good at speaking, and their words are always so nice. Lu Dong admires it deeply, and also knows that the Shaolin Temple is really a golden signboard now. Cooperation."
Master Shi dares to speak out, naturally he has mature considerations: "Shaolin Temple produces recipes, brands, and is responsible for guiding and training chefs. After all, we are monks, and it is not suitable for public appearance. Opening, management, promotion and operation, we must leave it to Mr. Lu's Lu. It's catering."
Hearing that Master Shi did not mention real money investment, Lu Dong frowned slightly. The most valuable thing that Master Shi said was the signboard of Shaolin Temple.
As for the menu and practice of Shaolin Temple's vegetarian dishes, as long as you spend money to find a chef, you can come up with countless tricks.
Besides, having been catering for several years, Lv Dong deeply knows that consumers in different regions have different tastes, and the tastes of chain stores of the same brand should be adjusted appropriately in different regions.
After considering these issues one by one, it is not difficult to find that the Shaolin Temple is actually a signboard.
But the signboard of the Shaolin Temple is still easy to use, at least in the hands of Lu's Catering. With the management and promotion of Lu's Catering, it will not be rotten.
Lu Dong's head turned extremely fast, and his mouth was not slow, and said: "Master Shi's cooperation proposal, I think it is feasible, otherwise, Master Shi will license the brand of Shaolin Temple to Lu's Catering, and we both sign a contract. In a long-term contract, Lu's Catering operates 10% of the annual net profit of Shaolin Temple Zhai Cai as the authorization fee for Shaolin Temple."
As soon as this condition came out, the smile on Master Shi's face couldn't be maintained. This man was as ruthless as him!
He wanted to take advantage of Lu's restaurant's signboard to give Shaolin Temple an extra income. The Boss Lu next to him was so good, he just wanted to be a white wolf with empty gloves.
10% of the net profit is divided as the authorization fee. What if there is no net profit?
Master Shi said: "Mr. Lu, this condition is too harsh."
Lu Dong thought for a moment and said, "Lu's Catering has a nationwide chain platform, which is also a resource. Just like the influence of the Shaolin Temple brand in the country, it is an intangible asset. I suggest that the two sides use a six-to-four or seven-to-one ratio. The ratio of three, and then make actual investment.”
Putting money directly, Master Shi hesitated.
Lu Dong doesn't go around in circles, there are not enough benefits, and he can't control it. Why should Lu's Catering cooperate with Shaolin Temple?
The signboard of Shaolin Temple is really good, but it is not enough to make him give up his reasonable interests.
Lv Dong added: "The masters of Shaolin Temple are all monks, and the master just said that the monks of Shaolin Temple are not suitable to show their faces. If we cooperate with each other, all daily work must be done by Lu's catering, and Lu's catering does well. There can be no constraints. Therefore, the basis of our cooperation must be the Shaolin Temple's investment at the same time, the brand authorization period is 20 years, the Lv's Catering has the absolute control, and the Shaolin Temple can send financial supervision to the cooperative company, but it cannot interfere with the company's daily life. operations and management.”
Master Shi was a little stunned. He thought his appetite was big enough, but he didn't expect this person to have a bigger appetite.
"Such conditions are too harsh." Master Shi is quite dissatisfied, but he is righteous: "Mr. Lu, Shaolin Temple is to meet the needs of believers, not to blindly pursue commercial interests. What you said, completely put aside the staff of Shaolin Temple, It will completely change the taste of cooperation.”
Lu Dong ignored these high-sounding remarks: "Master Shi, Lu's Catering has a nationwide platform. In the domestic chain catering industry, I dare not say that it is at the forefront, and it is also one of the foremost. The Shaolin Temple wants to push the vegetarian cuisine. To the whole country, let the believers in the whole country have the honor to taste, Lu's Catering has unparalleled advantages in the environment of platform, promotion, management and stores. Let's just say, Master, you came here because you are optimistic about Lu's Catering. platform and resources.”
The last sentence, Master Shi can't refute it, because it is true.
Lv Dong in Shangyan Business: "Frankly speaking, Lu's Catering does not necessarily need the brand of Shaolin Temple. In the Zhai Cai chain industry, if Lu's Catering wants to do it, it can re-create a brand."
Master Shi finally found an opportunity to interject: "To open up brand awareness, the resources and energy spent..."
Lu Dong smiled: "There is Lingyan Temple in Quannan. Nationally, there are many temples that can be as famous as Shaolin Temple, and they can also cooperate with Taoism. For example, Wudang Mountain, whose reputation is no less than Shaolin Temple."
He looked at Master Shi: "But Shaolin Temple doesn't have the partner of Lu's Catering. Which catering chain company can we use to promote Shaolin Temple's vegetarian meal to the whole country? To be honest, in addition to Lu's Catering, it can now be a nationwide chain of restaurants. Most of them are Western-style fast food, they are foreign companies, can they understand our food culture?”
Master Shi did not answer immediately.
Lu Dong said again: "Master Shi, you can think about it. You can visit the Lu's Catering Company and its stores. If you are interested in cooperation, I will have someone here to formally discuss with the Shaolin Temple."
