The Goddess Shines on America

The middle-aged man was wearing a fine Japanese-style suit, and his jet-black hair was meticulously groomed. He walked quickly to the dining table where Alice and Fazi were, but in the last few steps when he approached, there was Immediately slowed down to avoid making an overly abrupt situation.

Under Alice's thoughtful eyes, the man respectfully bowed 30 degrees to Alice, and said softly: "My lord, the president of Hehui Sushi Restaurant, Ishida Yahiko, welcome the two ladies to our shop Consumption."

The volume was not high, and it didn't attract the attention of even the diners at the next table, but Fazi was completely stunned. However, Alice nodded calmly: "Hello, President Ishida, I wonder what you are doing?"

Ishida Yahiko looked at Alice with a smile: "You must be the American investor who bought the entire Crystal Mall yesterday, Ms. Alice Wang?"

The words in a steady and gentle tone caused Fazi to let go subconsciously, and the bamboo chopsticks fell to the table, and even rolled and slid to the edge of the table.

Bought the entire Crystal Mall! ?

Fazi's poor mind has been turned into a mess by these words.

What is the concept of Crystal Mall?

Fazi knows that this is a high-end shopping mall that stood in the bustling area of ​​Ginza twenty years ago, just like what she saw when she looked up at it when she was waiting for Alice on the street. The fifteen-storey high-rise stands on the bustling street, and any store in it is an absolute high-end consumer place.

Such a high-end shopping mall standing in Ginza, close to the entire Tokyo Expressway, in the most prosperous area of ​​the city, and very close to the main traffic... was bought?

Before Poor Way could figure out how much money would be needed to do this, Alice had already said: "That's right, it seems that every tenant in the building has been notified about the transfer of ownership of the commercial building. Don't worry Well, President Ishida, although the prices of real estate across the country are increasing, I have no plans to increase your rent."

So, this is admitted! ?

Hearing Alice mentioning the national real estate boom, Fazi suddenly remembered that at current prices, a house in Ginza would cost 300 to 400 million yen for a two-bedroom house! ?

"No, no, miss, you have misunderstood."

Ishida spoke humbly, and even bowed at another 30-degree angle for this, which is completely unlike the image that a normal company president should have. Sure enough, I heard him go on to say: "I didn't want to discuss the rent issue with you, um... I wonder if the two of you are interested in dining in the VIP room? I have something I want to discuss with you..."

The Japanese euphemistic way of speaking appeared, such a half sentence as "I have something to talk about", it is obvious that he has something to ask Alice.

"You're welcome, President Ishida, just call me Alice."

Alice nodded and said, "Since the president of the sushi restaurant, Sang, invited me personally, I, as a diner, of course have to show face. Come on, let's go for a walk with Ishida-san."

Naturally, the way was to nod obediently, and after a moment of surprise, she understood what was going on.

Undoubtedly, this little rich girl from the United States not only bought her office, but also bought this top shopping mall. This President Ishida wanted to negotiate business with the new landlord after he knew that the person he paid the rent had changed hands.

Ishida really showed a hearty smile: "Then you two, this way please."

So, under the leadership of the president, Alice walked briskly to a private room in a clever way.

The private bathroom is equipped, the decoration of the walls and the floor is very delicate, and there is even a crystal lamp shining brightly above the head. When Fazi walked into the house, it really took a lot of effort to resist the urge to look around.

After Ishida asked Alice to sit at the head, three or two waiters immediately appeared with more dishes. The exquisite sushi was quickly served, and there were arctic shellfish and abalone carefully prepared with seasoning. Alice couldn't help laughing secretly. Ishida obviously had his eyes on her when they entered the door, otherwise how could they prepare so quickly?

When all the dishes were served, Ishida raised his hand and said, "These are all high-quality dishes from our Hehui Sushi Restaurant, do they taste the same as Alice-san's?"

Alice waved her hand, frowned slightly and said, "President Ishida, I'm an American, and I always like to go straight. Just tell me what's the matter."

After all, he is an American. Ishida nodded understandingly, put his legs together, put his hands on his knees, and said, "Actually... it's a bit hard to say. Our store is currently facing financial difficulties."

"No, can't you? Such a good store!?"

Fazi's immature exclamation suddenly sounded, realizing that she seemed to have disturbed the two of them talking, she quickly waved her hand and said, "No, I'm sorry, I just..."

"Thank you for the compliment from this young lady, I'm sincerely in awe."

Shi Tian smiled at Fazi and nodded, but anyone could see the bitterness on his face: "I'm ashamed to say, He Hui is a business passed down in my family, and it has a history of more than 90 years. During the naval battle... Ah, Alice-san, I'm sorry..."

"Hmm, go ahead."

Alice just nodded quite generously: "Many Japanese sushi restaurants have dozens or even hundreds of years of history. I have always admired the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship. But now it seems that you are still encountering difficulties gone?"

Ishida still maintains a smile, but the smile is still so bitter: "I'm really ashamed, the situation is like this, in fact, as early as when it was first established, our store was located in Ginza, which is where this crystal building is located. The Kanto University in 1923 After the earthquake, Ginza began to become prosperous, and our store took advantage of this opportunity to develop..."

"Uh-huh, uh-huh."

"However, because of the wartime...that is, everything during World War II, my father sold the land of this store and moved the store out for a while. Then because of the depression after the war, although the store has been still operating However, it is the land that has been leased..."

"Ah, I see."

While Ishida was speaking, Alice had already ate half of the Arctic shellfish quickly, and now she wiped her mouth and said, "Then you were reluctant to leave your homeland and moved back, but the land price in Ginza at this time is no longer what you can afford." I’ve been able to afford it, so I’ve been renting. And now I’m in financial trouble again?”

"exactly!"

Ishida nodded vigorously and said, "Alice-san, you have also tasted our sushi, how do you feel?"

Although the topic was abruptly changed, Alice certainly knew that the other party must have a follow-up, so she replied along the way: "It's very good, I have also eaten sushi in Little Tokyo in Los Angeles, compared with you... Well~ well, it’s not appropriate to compare sushi for the European and American markets with local ingredients..."

"Although you are very satisfied, in fact, the level of our dishes has dropped significantly!"

When talking about this topic, Ishida looked annoyed and distressed, so shocked that he couldn't move his chopsticks at all. That is Alice. I really don't know where she got the appetite. In just a few words, more than half of the sushi on the table has been wiped out.

"Oh, sorry~"

Under the horrified gaze of Fazi who is a Japanese, Alice picked up a delicate sushi roll the size of a thumb, and scooped up as much green wasabi as big as a thumb. This is the top-quality green mustard from a high-end sushi restaurant. I ate it in one bite, but there was not a single tear.

"Hmm... so what's the reason?"

"Because... the formula was lost."

Ishida sighed helplessly: "Actually, the recipe has been lost since we moved after the war. It was left by my great-grandfather, and it was recorded on a silk book. My father suffered from selective illness due to excessive grief. Amnesia, I forgot most of the contents of the recipe, and I was only a five or six-year-old child at the time..."

"Well, so, after the quality of the dishes has declined..."

Seeing Alice looking in the direction of the door, as if guessing what he was thinking, Ishida smiled bitterly: "Don't think the restaurant has a good environment, but that's just to cover up the scarcity of diners. Those who can eat at a restaurant of our level , Most of them are masters who can really taste the taste, without the formula... I can only barely make ends meet."

"Then why are you looking for me?"

In a few words, Alice has already wiped out nine out of ten of the new dishes. You know, this was prepared according to her and Fazi's share, plus what she ate before, this is equivalent to eliminating the food for three people...

"It's not that you intend to ask me to help you research the original formula, right?"

As she said that, she smiled jokingly: "Is it the original formula, or the familiar taste?"

"Of course not!"

Ishida smiled wryly and kept shaking his head. He was also amused by Alice's words: "In August last year, I just discussed this situation with my father. According to him, since Japan has entered the new world , then maybe it’s time for us, Hehui, to make some changes.”

Alice nodded and said, "So, the store is in a transition period, and you are short of money, do you need someone to help you invest?"

"Exactly, Alice-san!"

Ishida stood up suddenly, and bowed deeply to Alice: "Please!

The sudden bow once again silenced Fazi, but of course she never said a few words.

Alice nodded noncommittally: "I want me to invest in you, so what about the transformation plan?"

Ishida sonorously said: "My father's idea is to lower the positioning of the store, from high-end to common people, and replace excellent quality and small output with high output and excellent quality. Then, from sticking to one store, we will Grass blooms all over Japan, and even the whole world!"

The voice fell, and the room was silent.

Fazi looked at Alice eagerly, and Ishida bowed at ninety degrees.

"Hmm... That's the low-price business strategy, and chain business?"

Alice tilted her head in trouble, "Why does it sound so familiar?"

Ishida straightened up and smiled slightly.

"It's normal for you to feel familiar. That's what my father learned from Wal-Mart."

"I just knew it was...well, I agree!"

Well, today is the 15th, and the reply is more than three times a day.
