Chapter 765 The world's martial arts come out of Shaolin
In the reception room of Qingzhao Hotel, Lu Dong met the famous Shaolin Temple's No. 1 master.
This man had a big belly and a round face, and was wearing an ordinary yellow monk's robe. He had a string of brown Buddhist beads hanging on his chest. His face was full of smiles, which looked like a Maitreya Buddha.
Song Na, who specially accompanied Lu Dong, introduced Lu Dong and Master Shi.
Before Lu Dong came here, he made a detailed understanding. Based on his past memories, he knew that this was a very powerful person and did not dare to underestimate him at all.
Master Shi clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to Lu Dong: "I have heard of the name of Mr. Lu's catering in Lu for a long time. I am honored to see him today."
Lu Dong was not religious and out of politeness, he also replied: "You are polite, Master, I have admired Shaolin Temple for a long time."
Master Shi smiled slightly: "President Lu, you are polite."
Lu Dong said casually: "The world's martial arts are Shaolin, and Shaolin's martial arts are the best in the world." As if the words said were true: "I have practiced Sanda for many years. Strictly speaking, it is also a martial arts practitioner. I admire Shaolin Temple!"
Master Shi is the old fox among the old foxes, so he naturally doesn't believe what such a successful businessman said. Besides, he has contacted this man's fiancée, a standard female fox, a man is a woman's backer, and it's not much better.
But in the same way, because the other party is a businessman, he will naturally consider the interests, and Master Shi feels it is necessary to have an interview.
Master Shi said: "This time the martial monks came with me. Mr. Lu wanted to exchange his martial arts experience, so he could do it anytime."
He came here today, not talking about martial arts and the martial arts group. Although the market says that martial arts in the world are from Shaolin, his family knows his own affairs. The martial arts and martial arts inheritance of Shaolin Temple have long been cut off. The current martial arts group is not passed down from generation to generation, but developed from the Shaolin martial arts team he established in the 1980s in order to revive Shaolin.
As for other rumors from the outside world, he didn't want to explain it, nor could he explain it clearly, because the Shaolin Martial Monks' fundamental purpose is to perform, and it is used to make the reputation of Shaolin Temple participating in various activities.
Master Shi was most interested in commercial promotion, and then turned the topic to business: "Mr. Lu, your Lu's catering company was established in early 1999 and swept across the country in just four years. It has become the first-class nationally in the chain catering industry, which is admirable."
Lu Dong smiled and said, "Master is so serious."
Song Na sat on the other side of Lu Dong. She had contacted Master Shi twice in Dengfeng and had a certain understanding. When she heard this, she had speculation. It was probably that Shaolin Temple was interested in Lu's catering and wanted to seek cooperation.
Master Shi has been in charge of Shaolin Temple business since the late 1980s and spent more than ten years recreating the glory of Shaolin. He is quite confident in the golden signboard of Shaolin Temple.
At this time, he said: "Shaolin Temple also intends to seek development in the catering industry. I wonder if Mr. Lu is interested in cooperation."
Lu Dong looked at Master Shi in surprise. This man was sitting upright in the room, like a Maitreya Bodhisattva, but his words were more like a businessman.
He is worthy of being the number one master of Shaolin Temple who has carried forward the past and opened up the future.
Lu Dong asked: "Can Lu's catering cooperate with Shaolin Temple? The master said it."
Before Master Shi came here, he had sincerely studied and understood that as an excellent CEO, he soon found business opportunities in it, and could still further expand the popularity of Shaolin Temple and increase the income of Shaolin Temple.
"Food is the most important thing for the people. Shaolin Temple will distribute vegetarian food to the public every major holidays to enjoy with its believers." Master Shi seemed to be telling a very meaningful thing: "Unfortunately, Shaolin Temple is limited to Dengfeng, and can only popularize local believers, but cannot allow believers from other places to taste Shaolin Temple vegetarian food. This has always been a regret for the monks in Shaolin Temple."
After hearing this, Lu Dong immediately understood that the chain platform of Lu's catering across the country attracted this master with excellent business acumen.
Lu Dong never doubted the business vision and ability of Master Shi. Among the information he learned these days, Master Shi demanded that Shaolin Temple open an official website as early as 1996, and it was a multilingual version to promote Shaolin Temple.
In that era, several companies were able to truly realize the great role of the Internet.
Master Shi continued: "Mr. Lu, your Lu's catering company has a platform and operation management, and Shaolin Temple has brand and unique craftsmanship. We can join forces to promote Shaolin Temple vegetarian rice to the whole country."
Lu Dong had never eaten Shaolin Temple vegetarian dishes, but in many books, the temple vegetarian dishes were blown away so that there was nothing in the sky or underground. I don’t know whether it was true or false.
Is it better to be the monk in the temple than the top chefs in the hotel?
But then I thought about it, it doesn’t matter how good the cooking level of Shaolin Temple is. If you really want to let believers across the country eat Shaolin Temple vegetarian rice, you must operate a chain of operations to create the Shaolin Temple vegetarian rice chain brand.
If this is the case, it is not enough to pull out all the monks of Shaolin Temple as cooks.
The model must be to formulate a list of Shaolin Temple vegetarian rice and hire external chefs.
Lu Dong asked directly: "Master Shi means that he wants to use Shaolin Temple vegetarian rice and vegetarian dishes to create a brand new catering chain brand with Lu's catering?"
Master Shi clasped his hands together, lowered his head slightly, and said, "It is to give believers across the country the opportunity to taste the Shaolin Temple vegetarian dishes."
As expected, the masters are all good at rhetoric and always speak so nicely. Lu Dong was deeply impressed. At the same time, he also knew that Shaolin Temple is really a golden signboard now. After a brief thought, he said, "I dare to ask Master Shi how he dares to cooperate with Lu's catering."
Master Shi dares to say it, so he naturally has mature considerations: "Shaolin Temple produces recipes and brands, and is responsible for guiding and training chefs. After all, we are monks and are not suitable for showing up, opening a store, managing, promoting and operating the product, so we have to hand it over to Mr. Lu's Lu's catering."
When Lu Dong heard that Master Shi did not raise any real money and investment, he frowned slightly. What Master Shi said was the most valuable sign of Shaolin Temple.
As for the menu and methods of Shaolin Temple vegetarian dishes, you can create countless tricks as long as you spend money to find a chef.
Moreover, after working in catering for several years, Lu Dong knew deeply that consumers in different regions had different flavors. Chain stores of the same brand should be adjusted appropriately when they arrived in different regions.
After considering these issues one by one, it is not difficult to find that Shaolin Temple is actually a sign.
But the Shaolin Temple sign is easy to use at present, at least it is placed in the hands of Lu's catering. With the management and promotion of Lu's catering, it will not be ruined.
Lu Dong's head was very fast and his mouth was not slow, and he said, "I think it is feasible for Master Shi's cooperation suggestions. Otherwise, Master Shi authorized the brand of Shaolin Temple to Lu's catering. We both signed a long agreement. Lu's catering operation has a net profit of 10% of Shaolin Temple vegetarian cuisine every year as the authorization fee for Shaolin Temple."
As soon as this condition came out, the smile on Master Shi's face was a little unsustainable. This person was as cruel as him!
He wanted to use the Lu's catering signature to allow Shaolin Temple to earn more income. Mr. Lu next to him wanted to make a fortune by making money.
Ten percent of the net profit share is used as authorization expenses. What should I do if there is no net profit at that time?
Master Shi said: "Mr. Lu, this condition is too harsh."
Lu Dong thought for a while and said, "Lüshi Catering has a nationwide chain platform, which is also a resource. Just like the influence of Shaolin Temple brand in the country, it is an intangible asset. I suggest that both parties make actual investments at a ratio of 6 to 4 or 7 to 3."
Master Shi was a little hesitant when he invested money directly.
Lu Dong doesn’t go around in circles, there is no enough benefit and cannot be controlled in his hands. Why should Lu’s catering cooperate with Shaolin Temple?
The Shaolin Temple sign is really good, but it is not as good as he is to give up his reasonable interests.
Lu Dong also said: "The masters of Shaolin Temple are all monks. The master just said that the monks of Shaolin Temple are not suitable for showing up. If we cooperate on both sides, all daily work must be done by Lushi Catering. If Lushi Catering does these well, there will be no constraints. Therefore, the basis for our cooperation between the two parties must be the investment of Shaolin Temple. The brand authorization period is twenty years. Lushi Catering has absolute control rights. Shaolin Temple can send financial supervision to the cooperative company, but cannot interfere with the company's daily operations and management."
Master Shi was a little stunned when he heard this. He thought his appetite was big enough, but he didn't expect that this person had a bigger appetite.
"Such conditions are too harsh." Master Shi was quite dissatisfied, but was righteous: "Mr. Lu, Shaolin Temple is to meet the needs of believers, not blindly pursue commercial interests. What you said will completely abandon Shaolin Temple staff, which will completely change the cooperation."
Lu Dong ignored these high-sounding words: "Master Shi, Lu's Catering has a national platform. In the domestic chain catering industry, I dare not say that I am at the forefront, and it is also one of the first ones. Shaolin Temple wants to promote vegetarian dishes across the country so that believers across the country have the honor to taste it. Lu's Catering has unparalleled advantages in the platform, promotion, management and store environments. Let's say that, Master, you came here because you are optimistic about the platform and resources of Lu's Catering."
Master Shi couldn't refute this last sentence because it was indeed the case.
Lu Dong was in Shangyan Shang: "To be honest, Lu's catering does not necessarily need the brand of Shaolin Temple, and the zhaicai chain industry. If Lu's catering wants to do it, it can rebuild a brand."
Master Shi finally found the opportunity to interrupt: "The resources and energy spent to open up the brand to be famous..."
Lu Dong smiled: "There is Lingyan Temple in Quannan. As far as the country is concerned, there are many temples that are as famous as Shaolin Temple, and they can also cooperate with Taoism. For example, Wudang Mountain is no less famous than Shaolin Temple."
He looked at Master Shi: "But Shaolin Temple does not have the partner of Lushi Catering. Which catering chain company can it use to promote Shaolin Temple vegetarian rice nationwide? I am bluntly speaking, in addition to Lushi Catering, most of the national chain catering are Western fast food. They are foreign companies and can they understand our food culture?"
Master Shi did not answer immediately.
