Chapter 1507 The Super Online Store Opened!
“Hey, why are you back?”
As soon as Li Yunguo entered the door, the elder stared at him and asked with a puzzled face. Then he turned to look at He Xue and Fang Qiu, sizing them up.
“Hello, Mr. Li.”
Without waiting for the old man to ask, He Xue stepped forward and introduced herself, “I’m He Xue, the Renyi Group’s executive director. You can call me Xiao He.”
After she said that…
She pointed at Fang Qiu, who was carrying a bag, and introduced, “This is Fang Qiu, the adviser on Chinese Medicine of the Renyi Group.”
“Oh.”
The old man nodded casually. He seemed to have never heard of Fang Qiu, who was world-famous.
Near them…
“Grandpa.”
Li Yunguo was eager to share the information with the old man. “The Renyi Group is now the most responsible and the largest Chinese Medicine group in Huaxia. Its business has been expanded to the international market. Now people from all over the world are rushing to buy their products.”
“Also, Fang Qiu is now our country’s most capable Chinese Medicine doctor. He has cured countless difficult miscellaneous diseases. There is no disease in our country that he can’t handle. Even Muricans have invited him to treat them.”
“Because of him, a lot of countries in the world recognize Chinese Medicine. Some even have begun to develop and support Chinese Medicine.”
The old man heard that.
He looked at Fang Qiu with a glint in his eyes.
“Is there such a mighty young man in this era?”
The elder asked in surprise.
“Of course, Fang Qiu is the idol of our young people. Because of him, many young people sign up to learn Chinese Medicine. He demonstrated the existence of Qi in Chinese Medicine to the world. Also, he proved to everyone that meridians in Chinese Medicine were real. All of this has been accepted internationally!”
Li Yunguo couldn’t stop talking about Fang Qiu. Without a break, he told Fang Qiu’s glorious deeds to his grandpa and praised Fang Qiu to the skies.
“Oh?”
The old man nodded slightly.
He wasn’t surprised at all. Perhaps, he wasn’t interested in such things. Or, he might not even know how great they were. He nodded slightly only because his grandson looked overly excited when saying Fang Qiu’s achievements.
“Oh, you don’t have to bring gifts to me.”
The elder said with his eyes on the bag in Fang Qiu’s hands, intending to quickly change the subject.
Fang Qiu heard that.
“Sir, these are the medicinal herbs I brought here.”
Fang Qiu smiled gently and walked over without blushing or panting, saying, “These Chinese medicinal herbs are the top-class indigenous medicinal herbs cultivated by ourselves. Could you please cook a few dishes for us with them?”
“Eh?”
The old man was stunned.
“Of course, we are just asking a favor of you.”
Fang Qiu smiled. “You live here in seclusion, so I guess you might not find any exceptionally good Chinese medicinal herbs. Besides, as a descendant of imperial chefs, you must have obtained outstanding skills in making medicated diets. As the saying goes, a good horse should be matched with a saddle of top quality. Only a top-notch medicated diet chef can handle these top Chinese medicinal herbs.”
“Are they really Chinese medicinal herbs?”
When the elder heard this, he immediately became interested.
“Sir, you can take a look at them.”
Fang Qiu gained the initiative. He turned his head and glanced around the courtyard. When he saw a stone table, he immediately walked over with these Chinese medicinal herbs in his hand.
The old man also hurried over.
Fang Qiu took out the medicinal herbs one by one.
Each small bag contained one kind of medicine. There were 20 to 30 types of Chinese medicinal herbs for medicated diets.
“Superb, superb herbs.”
The old man took a closer look and couldn’t help exclaiming.
“Could these Chinese medicinal herbs arouse your interest in cooking?”
Fang Qiu asked with a smile.
“They are first-class herbs, but we are short of food ingredients.”
The old man said, raising his eyebrows.
“I’ve brought some to you.”
Fang Qiu answered with a smile. Without delay, he went out and opened the car. From its trunk, he carried out a small refrigerator.
Back in the courtyard…
Fang Qiu directly opened the refrigerator. There was chicken, duck, fish, meat, and all sorts of seafood. In addition, it contained various kinds of top-notch and most precious cooking materials.
“Great.”
At the sight of these fresh ingredients, the elder cheered and turned to Li Yunguo, saying, “Don’t go to school today. I’ll cook a delicious meal for you.”
“Wonderful!”
Li Yunguo exclaimed excitedly.
“Sir, can we start now?”
Fang Qiu asked.
“Okay.”
The old man nodded. Then he looked at Fang Qiu and said, “My name is Li Guangcheng. You can call me Old Li.”
“Sounds a little improper…”
Fang Qiu quickly shook his head and said, “I’d better call you Elder Li.”
When he talked…
Fang Qiu helped Elder Li send the ingredients and Chinese medicinal herbs to his kitchen. Then he came out and let him make the meal alone.
After all…
Elder Li would cook with his unique skills. It was indeed not good to stand there and watch.
Soon after…
The dishes were ready!
All the ingredients and herbs were included.
When the dishes were served, Fang Qiu asked a few questions and took a closer look. He found the combination of Chinese medicinal herbs in each dish was perfect.
They sat down to taste the dishes.
Fang Qiu and He Xue help themselves to the food.
Their expressions changed drastically.
All the dishes on the table were particularly delicious. They couldn’t taste traditional Chinese medicine at all. There were some unique flavors, fragrant but not greasy.
They looked at each other, eyes full of wonderful surprises.
“Sir, you should know why we are here, right?”
Putting down her chopsticks, He Xue began to negotiate.
“You want me to be your chef?”
Elder Li asked with a smile.
“Yes.”
Without hesitation, He Xue nodded and said, “We need a top-notch chef like you. That is why we came here in person — we want to show you our sincerity.”
“I do feel your sincerity, but being your chef? Let’s talk about it another time.”
Elder Li shook his head.
Hearing this, He Xue immediately laughed.
“Another time…
“So there is still room for negotiation?”
She could tell…
Elder Li was attracted by the top-grade ingredients brought by Fang Qiu. For such a top chef, nothing was more attractive than first-rate ingredients!
Moreover…
It was apparent that Elder Li had not cooked such a table of excellent dishes for many years. Well, once he got used to cooking, it would be difficult for him to stop.
“Elder Li.”
He Xue said with a smile, “The working environment we’ve prepared for you is the best in the world. At least all the food ingredients are as good as what we have prepared today. These ingredients are still of the best quality after a period of transportation. But as you know, they are inferior to the freshest ones.”
“As long as you accept our invitation, I can guarantee you can use top-notch Chinese medicinal herbs and ingredients every day. As for your salary, I will not provide you with a fixed monthly salary. Instead, you can get 5% of the shares of our soon-to-be medicated diet brand company.”
Speaking of this, He Xue asked, “So what do you think?”
“Well…”
Elder Li shook his head.
In his opinion, 5% seemed to be only a meager portion of the profits.
After all, an old man like him never did business. He thought that, except for his shares, the rest 95% would belong to He Xue. Therefore, it was inevitable that he was a little unhappy about it.
“Elder Li.”
Fang Qiu saw the problem and immediately said, “Your 5% share is not a small amount. Many people invest in this new medicated diet company. At present, we have received more than 10 billion yuan through financing. The 5% share is worth 500 million yuan even before our company is established!”
“What?”
Elder Li was stunned when he heard that.
“500 million yuan? Oh my gosh, I will be one of the rich second generation. Oh, that’s not right. I should belong to the rich third generation. It sounds much more awesome than being the second or third generation of those who become super rich with relocation compensation!”
Li Yunguo exclaimed.
“Elder Li, are you satisfied with the offer?”
He Xue asked with a smile.
“Well, then… all right.”
Elder Li stood up with a shy smile, looked at Li Yunguo, and said, “Just take it as an opportunity to carry forward our family’s craft!”
After he said that…
The four of them all laughed.
Elder Li went to the capital with Fang Qiu and He Xue that night. When they arrived at a restaurant they had rented in advance, they began developing the dishes there overnight.
In just one night, Elder Li developed a total of 30 dishes.
This came as a pleasant surprise to He Xue and Fang Qiu.
Afterward…
He Xue and others just needed to hire people to learn the skills!
Eventually, they found an imperial chef. Fang Qiu and He Xue were finally relieved.
Then, they just went to make preparations.
Since they had received enough money through financing, He Xue was generous with the money. She bought a building in the best place in the capital and planned to transform it into a restaurant. The redecoration of this building had started.
It was estimated that the restaurant could officially open in a month!
Currently, preparations were in full swing in progress.
The super online store’s staff were working overtime.
Three days later…
On the 11th day after the Lunar New Year…
At this time, the entrance to the flagship store of the Three Billion Foundation officially appeared on the Taotao Online Marketplace’s home page. Many people noticed it.
But…
When everyone clicked on it, they found that the store was empty. There was not a single product.
The only thing was a very brief announcement.
“The products will arrive on shelves at midnight!”
“This store came into being because of the super online store plan of the Three Billion Foundation. We guarantee that all our products are authentic and indigenous. After operating costs, labor costs, and the like are taken out, all the profits earned from the operation of the whole store will be used to repay fellow villagers and neighbors.”
“Our slogan: you can buy absolutely qualified local products with the lowest prices here!”
As this page and the announcement were released…
Fang Qiu also received a message from the Taotao Online Marketplace in the first place.
When he saw the news…
Fang Qiu directly logged into his Weibo account and reposted the web link.
He advertised, “The super online store plan is officially launched. This is a public welfare plan. I hope everyone can support it!”
After he published this Weibo post…
His friends and celebrities like Song Yaqi, Liu Qingshi, Ying’er, and Director Chen Xiaogang reposted it to help Fang Qiu promote the store’s opening.
Soon, the news enjoyed huge popularity with Weibo users.
Fang Qiu’s fans were especially excited.
They occupied the home page of this website in the first place.
Meanwhile…
All team members responsible for the operation of the super online store were in the Three Billion Foundation. After completing their preparations, they were eager to get into action. At this moment, they were waiting for the super online store to open officially!
