Chapter 217 Food Appetite
"Should I buy a private jet?"
After Wang Yi came out of the airport in Shanghai, he yawned and looked lazy.
He has tried almost all the delicious food in the vertical store, from street snacks to private dishes. This time he flew directly to the Magic City and agreed to attend a mathematical algorithm lecture at the Magic City University.
For some invitations from domestic institutions, Wang Yi would still give some appropriate responses depending on the situation, but usually they would solve it online or via email. This time, the Magic City was going to hold an international robot competition or something and invited him to help calm the situation.
He had just entered a period of lack of inspiration and needed to go out to clear his mind, so Wang Yi agreed.
However, he refused the airport pick-up offer. After knowing the time, he just needed to arrive on time. He planned to start with the catering business in Shanghai.
With Lin Shiqin's help in collecting information, it can be said that a row of options have been listed for Wang Yi.
From private dishes to buffet restaurants, as an international metropolis , the variety here is indeed much better than that of vertical stores.
"How about the Gulfstream G650? Do I need to review the modification plan? Is it in the company's name or my own?"
Lin Shiqin's reaction speed can be said to be extremely fast. Wang Yi just started the execution phase as soon as he had the intention.
"Uh, it's up to you, just do it yourself."
Personal purchases do require paying a lot of extra taxes, but the World Company is Wang Yi's "pocket money", so it doesn't matter.
In fact, Wang Yi wanted to wait for Umbrella to build it at the beginning, but now there is no car production line, so it is still too far to think about airplanes.
Even the gas turbines of large surface ships are by-products of aircraft engines. You can imagine how high the technical requirements are.
The relevant technical requirements are too high, and the structure, materials, and even a small and inconspicuous part may take a long time to solve. It is not something that can be solved in a short time.
Fortunately, the last time I went to Neon, in addition to the lithography machine production line, I also purchased a batch of precision instruments. Combined with some domestic machine tools and the acquired automobile factories, once the integration is completed, we can officially move into the manufacturing industry.
Then Wang Yi casually flipped through the store names that Lin Shiqin had chosen on his phone, and after finding that there were too many options, he was too lazy to think about them and just said
"Just pick one for me."
"Okay, I've called Mumu a taxi for the boss."
Online ride-hailing has already started its trial run in Shanghai, and Ali has made a big bet with fairly high subsidies. Because of these subsidies, the first batch of drivers who started trying online ride-hailing have earned quite well.
Even in a place like Shanghai with such a low salary, it's considered acceptable.
It can be said that online ride-hailing services started much earlier due to Wang Yi’s influence, and the initial profits were also much higher.
But even so, when Wang Yi saw the Porsche Cayenne parked in front of him, he felt a little strange.
Although it is not a top luxury car, it is still rare to see it doing business at this time. I can only say that this is worthy of being the Magic City, where the license plate is more expensive than many other cars.
"Hey, you look very young, this is Genting Seafood Buffet Restaurant, right?"
The driver looked to be in his early thirties, with a handsome and steady appearance. He had an expensive-looking watch on his wrist, was well-dressed, and seemed to come from a good family.
"Um."
Wang Yi responded casually, saying that this was picked out by Lin Shiqin, and it was a newly opened store.
Although it is a buffet restaurant, the maximum cost per person is 2888, so the quality of the dishes should be quite high.
As a new store, if the price is still at this level, it is worth looking forward to.
As the driver started the car, he started chatting with Wang Yi. It can be known that his family runs a small business, and he felt the new Mumu Taxi was very novel, so he came out to experience life there.
Overall, Wang Yi still felt that this guy had pretty good social skills and a high EQ. After testing him and finding that he didn't pay much attention to him, he drove quietly without saying anything.
However, his words about making some money from small business to experience life were questionable. Although there was no change in his heart rate and mental fluctuations, Wang Yi still caught a glimpse of something strange.
"Wow, boss, he's a worse scumbag than you. He specializes in snatching orders from the airport to some high-end consumption places, or snatching orders at the gates of some large companies. He specializes in chatting up some female passengers and packaging himself as a successful person. But his watch is fake, and his car was bought with a loan. There have been several cases in court."
Lin Shiqin has a voyeuristic nature, so Wang Yi started to dig into the driver's background without asking any questions.
After hearing Lin Shiqin's words, Wang Yi also felt a little enlightened. No wonder, he turned out to be a liar.
He is also a very smart person. He targets the group of high-quality and high-income women. In fact, many high-quality women who perform well in the workplace are weak in the emotional aspect because they are too devoted to their work.
However, Wang Yi is not the kind of person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs, so he just casually scrolled through the papers on his phone until he arrived at his destination.
Genting Seafood Buffet Restaurant is located in the commercial center of the Yun District of Shanghai. The prosperity of the surrounding area also reflects the decadence and extravagance of Shanghai.
In fact, many brand-name stores in many cities are often used as "billboards", and restaurants also do the best business in some commercial centers.
But here, the turnover of personnel in various brand stores is also quite considerable. It can only be said that people in Shanghai generally have money in their pockets. Even those who come from other places to work have a .
In addition, those new residents who have been able to settle down in Shanghai are the absolute main consumers of these brand stores.
But for the big foodie empire, the hottest business in the world is still restaurants.
The lowest price for a meal at this Genting Seafood Buffet Restaurant is 888, but it still attracts many customers.
"Sir, there are only two tables in the private room now. The table is for you alone, but there will be other guests at the table next to you. Are you able to accept that?"
At this price point, the service attitude is still quite good, the good-looking waitress asked Wang Yi in a low voice.
"Yes, sure."
Wang Yi sniffed and found that the seafood here was indeed quite fresh.
"Boss, I've registered a TT account for you. Do you want to try it? I guarantee you'll be famous. You'll be a big eater and can check in at famous restaurants. Once you become famous, you'll be able to eat the best food."
"Thank you."
Wang Yi rolled his eyes.
But when I heard that if I clocked in at the restaurant, I could not only eat a free meal, but also get the best dishes, I was a little tempted, it seemed...
But he quickly shook his head. How could a legendary wizard like him do such a thing? It was really disgraceful...
…
Wang Yi looked at the three muscular men at the next table with a subtle look. They were constantly posing and talking to the camera.
Is eating broadcasting so common these days?
"Hello everyone, this is 'Eat to Stay Fit'. Today we are at a newly opened high-end buffet restaurant, the Genting Seafood Buffet, where you can enjoy king crabs and Boston lobsters to your heart's content."
A muscular man in a black sports vest posed, and his two companions next to him did the same.
"First, let's eat his sashimi. Fifty servings each of salmon, sweet shrimp, and Arctic scallops, ten boxes of caviar, and a limited edition platter of king crab, lobster, and tuna."
Although relatively common sashimi such as salmon, sweet shrimp and Arctic scallops are much cheaper than limited-edition dishes, ordinary people will definitely not be able to make a profit by eating only these in a place where the lowest price is 888 and the highest is 2888.
But they order so much. Although one portion is usually only a few yuan, the total amount is still very considerable.
However, the waiter must have known that these three were there specifically to film food shows, so he served all the food without saying a word.
There were clearly three of them, but they filled the entire table.
Watch them finish the king crab, lobster and tuna platters, and then stuff their mouths with a plate of salmon, a plate of sweet shrimp, and a plate of Arctic clams.
Wang Yi had to admit that although it was a bit disgusting to see those rough guys eating like that, it inexplicably aroused a little appetite.
"Well, I want the same thing as them."
Wang Yi, who was eating the tuna platter slowly, raised his hand to call the waiter and pointed to the table opposite.
The muscular man in a black vest, who was eating a whole plate of salmon in one bite, almost choked to death when he heard this.
The waiter was also a little stunned.
"Sir, do you want one-third of their portion? But they are professional fitness eaters, and most people probably can't eat that much."
The waiter kindly reminded me.
Although it is self-service, waste is not allowed.
"No, it's the same as them."
These words shocked the cute waiter.
However, the muscular man who almost fell over looked Wang Yi up and down and gave him a thumbs up.
"Brother, you are very self-disciplined. I also want to have a body shape like yours, but I became a big guy after practicing. I am so helpless."
These three were originally doing fitness, and the simple clothes that Wang Yi was wearing in this hot weather could not hide from their sharp eyes.
"Haha, it's okay. I don't have the physique to gain weight."
Wang Yi smiled.
Then another man who was fiddling with his phone asked Wang Yi
"Brother, do you mind leaving the country? You ordered so much for one person and we wanted to increase the effect."
The three of them would have to eat meat later. If they were eating what Wang Yi ordered alone, they would be able to finish it by just holding on a little, so they didn't question whether Wang Yi could eat more or not.
On the contrary, it was a rare opportunity to encounter such a scene during filming.
In terms of the number of fans, they already have quite a few, and both Bilibili and TT have a certain audience group.
Although they eat very wildly, they are just rough guys who do fitness. Every time they choose a buffet, they eat more. It’s not like they are into sissy culture, and they don’t think it’s a big deal. These are the people who their fans target.
Now I have met a wild fitness expert, and this kind of exercise, which requires ensuring that the muscles are well-proportioned without bulging or deforming, is actually more difficult. There are so many points, and I don’t want to waste the opportunity.
"Just remember to code me."
Wang Yi smiled and decided not to supervise them. Anyway, it would not be released on domestic channels without censorship.
It’s not that no one knows what Wang Yi looks like, but the number is quite small.
And in fact, even if someone knows what Wang Yi looks like, it is hard to say whether he can recognize him if he sees him again.
For example, how many people know what the top leader of their jurisdiction looks like? Would they recognize him if they suddenly met him? Even if his photo is right there.
But most people still know the name.
Naturally, Wang Yi would not refuse this kind of double protection.
While the three fitness foodies were looking shocked, Wang Yi elegantly but extremely quickly cleared away all the food on the table in front of him!
It was obvious that one person was shopping faster than the three of them combined, but it looked pleasing to the eye.
"admire!"
“I’m convinced!”
"Awesome! It turns out that you have to eat a full stomach before you can exercise. Waiter, serve the meat!"
The fitness trio all gave a thumbs up and started ordering food at the same time. They couldn't let three people be outdone by one person, right?
When Wang Yi saw that they were still shouting, his eyes lit up.
Originally, I felt embarrassed to eat it, but now that other people are eating it this way, I am not being too much, right?
Triple the amount shouldn't be too exaggerated.
"Waiter, bring another portion of theirs..."
If these three people were not originally invited to promote the restaurant's opening, if all the regular diners behaved like this, the boss would probably lose all his money.
The three fitness brothers seemed to be competing with Wang Yi. They usually wouldn't eat so much this time, but they obviously ate more this time. After eating, they all collapsed on their seats with round bellies, touching their bellies and panting.
"Brother, I'm convinced. None of the three of us can compare to you."
"Look at how relaxed you are, it seems like you can even eat!"
"What stomach? That's too much."
Wang Yi was actually quite satisfied with being able to eat so much at once. He usually had to be more restrained, but this time he was quite satisfied.
"I'm already 90% full. I can't eat much more. This is just right now."
But at this moment, a slightly disdainful voice came from the side.
"That's it? A buffet ceiling? Can people enter the store without proper clothes? There are even people wearing vests, it's really unlucky."
Following the direction of the voice, I saw a beautiful woman wearing a black backless dress and with makeup on, walking past the aisle and looking at this place with disdain on her face.
Obviously, the target is the three fitness foodies who are lying on the chairs with their bellies bulging...
