As word of mouth spread, more and more Spaniards came to Wang’s All-Season Restaurant to taste the unique fusion cuisine. Gradually, more and more customers came to the restaurant, and laughter and joy were heard one after another.

“This restaurant is really special, I’ve never had food like this before,” said one customer.

“Yes, and you can feel the collision and fusion of different cultures in every dish, which is very interesting.” Another customer agreed.

Wang Jianye, Chen Yu and Master Li looked at the lively scene in the restaurant, and the big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground. They know that this is just the beginning, and there will be more challenges and opportunities waiting for them in the future. But they firmly believe that as long as they maintain their love for food and the spirit of continuous innovation, Wang’s full range of restaurants will surely bloom more brilliantly in this land of Spain.

In the following days, they were not satisfied with the status quo. Chef Li continued to lead the chef team to develop new fusion dishes, combining more Spanish specialties with Korean and Singaporean cuisine. For example, he tried to combine Spanish olive oil with Korean cold noodles to make a refreshing and layered cold noodle; he also combined Singaporean curry with Spanish seafood stew to create a unique curry seafood stew.

Chen Yu continued to optimize the promotion strategy and tried to cooperate with local art exhibitions and cultural activities to further enhance the restaurant’s popularity and influence. He contacted a local art gallery and held an event with the theme of food and art.

In the gallery, art works inspired by Wang’s full range of hotel dishes were displayed, and the restaurant provided special snacks and drinks on site. The event attracted many artists, cultural enthusiasts and ordinary citizens to participate. While appreciating the art works, everyone also tasted the unique food and left a deep impression on the restaurant.

……

Since the Spanish branch of Wang’s All-inclusive Hotel successfully established itself in Barcelona and its business has been booming, Wang Jianye has had a more ambitious goal in mind – to expand the restaurant scale and let the food of Wang’s All-inclusive Hotel benefit more Spaniards. He knows that this is not only a promotion of food, but also a deepening of cultural exchange.

On a sunny day, a grand business negotiation was in full swing in a luxury hotel in Barcelona. The hotel’s banquet hall was spacious and bright, with crystal chandeliers casting soft light on the negotiation tables filled with materials. Entrepreneurs from all walks of life were walking around, chatting and laughing. Wang Jianye, wearing a neat suit and holding promotional materials for all Wang’s hotels, was looking for a suitable business partner in the crowd with confidence and expectation in his eyes.

At this moment, Wang Jianye’s eyes were attracted by an elegant lady. She was Sofia, a local entrepreneur with considerable influence in Barcelona’s business circle. Sofia was wearing a black dress with exquisite tailoring and a pearl necklace around her neck that exuded a warm luster. She was chatting and laughing with the people around her, and her every move showed her calmness and competence.

Wang Jianye took a deep breath, straightened his collar, walked forward, smiled politely and said, “Hello, Ms. Sophia, I am Wang Jianye from Wang’s All-inclusive Hotel, very happy to meet you.” Sophia turned her head, her eyes fell on Wang Jianye, and showed a friendly smile: “Hello, Mr. Wang, I have heard of your restaurant for a long time.”

Wang Jianye was delighted and said quickly, “Thank you for your attention. Our restaurant combines the special flavors of Korea, Singapore and Spain, and is committed to bringing customers a unique dining experience.” Sofia nodded slightly, her eyes revealing a strong interest: “Mr. Wang, I think your restaurant is very unique and has great development potential in Barcelona. I have some business resources that can help you expand the scale.”

Wang Jianye’s eyes sparkled with surprise after hearing this. He couldn’t help but take a step forward and said, “That’s great, Ms. Sophia. We very much hope to cooperate with you to bring the food of Wang’s entire hotel series to more people. Not only can everyone taste delicious food, but also feel the collision and fusion of different cultures on the tip of the tongue.”

Sophia smiled and said, “I appreciate your idea, Mr. Wang. We can find a quiet place to discuss the details of the cooperation.” Wang Jianye nodded quickly, “Okay, Ms. Sophia, I am looking forward to having an in-depth exchange with you.”

Afterwards, the two came to a quiet corner of the hotel, ordered two cups of coffee, and began to discuss cooperation in depth. Sophia asked in detail about the characteristics of the dishes, business model and future plans of Wang’s full-line restaurants. Wang Jianye patiently answered them one by one, and from time to time he took out promotional materials, pointed at the pictures of the dishes and the restaurant environment on them, and introduced them to Sophia.

“You see, our dishes retain the fusion characteristics of Korea and Singapore while incorporating local Spanish ingredients and flavors. Dishes like this one, which combines Korean fried chicken with Spanish ham and cheese, are very popular with customers,” said Wang Jianye.

Sofia looked at the pictures with an appreciative expression: “It is indeed very creative. This fusion method is both novel and can cater to the tastes of local people. However, in the process of expanding the scale, how to ensure the quality of the dishes and the consistency of the taste is the key.”

Wang Jianye said seriously, “You are right, Ms. Sophia. We have a professional team of chefs who will formulate detailed food preparation standards and training procedures to ensure that every branch can make authentic Wang’s full range of dishes.”

After several hours of in-depth communication and negotiation, the two finally reached a cooperation intention. Wang Jianye’s heart was filled with joy and expectation. He knew that this would be an important milestone in the development of Wang’s entire hotel chain.

With the help of Sophia, Wang Jianye began to prepare for the opening of the second branch. However, the preparation process was not smooth sailing, and various problems ensued.

The first challenge was to determine the store decoration style. Wang Jianye hoped that the new branch would not only continue the oriental charm of the first store, but also incorporate more local Spanish elements to create a unique and harmonious dining environment. To this end, he and Sofia invited a well-known local designer, Carlos. Carlos is a middle-aged man full of artistic passion, with long curly hair and always wearing a worn but artistic denim jacket.

Carlos warmly welcomed Wang Jianye and Sofia in a sunny studio, where the walls were covered with design sketches of various styles and the tables were piled with architectural models and design books.

Wang Jianye explained his idea to Carlos: “Mr. Carlos, we hope that this branch can show the beauty of the fusion of Eastern and Spanish cultures, with both the mystery and elegance of the East and the passion and vitality of Spain.”

Carlos listened and quickly wrote down the key words in his notebook, nodding from time to time. “Mr. Wang, your idea is very interesting. I think we can set up a Chinese-style wooden screen at the entrance, but the pattern of the screen should be decorated in Spanish mosaic style. On the walls of the restaurant, we can paint some murals that combine oriental landscapes and Spanish bullfighting scenes.”

Sofia also put forward her own views: “Carlos, I think lighting design is also very important. You can use some lantern-shaped lamps with oriental characteristics, but the color of the light should be the warm tones that Spanish people like, to create a warm and warm atmosphere.”

After many discussions and revisions, the decoration design plan was finally finalized. However, the problem of staff recruitment and training immediately arose. In order to ensure the smooth operation of the new branch, Wang Jianye needed to recruit a group of excellent employees, including chefs, waiters, etc. The recruitment site was set up in a spacious conference room, and there was an endless stream of applicants.

A young chef candidate walked into the meeting room, and Wang Jianye and Master Li sat opposite him. Master Li looked at his resume and asked, “Do you have any experience in fusion cooking? Our dishes need to perfectly blend the flavors of different cultures.”

The applicant confidently replied: “Master, when I worked in a restaurant before, I tried to make some fusion dishes, and I have a certain understanding of the combination of different ingredients and flavors.”

Master Li then asked: “Do you know the characteristics of the dishes in all our Wang’s restaurants? For example, this dish that combines Korean fried chicken, Spanish ham and cheese, what do you think is the key to making it well?”

After thinking for a moment, the candidate said, “I think the key is to grasp the characteristics of each ingredient and the cooking method. The fried chicken should be fried golden and crispy, the ham should be rich in flavor, and the cheese should be melted to the right degree, so that the various flavors can blend with each other without losing their characteristics.”

Master Li nodded with satisfaction: “Not bad, your understanding is very good. But there are still many details that need to be paid attention to in actual operation. We will have special training.”

In addition to chefs, the recruitment of waiters is also crucial. A girl named Anna came to apply for a waiter position. Chen Yu interviewed her and asked, “Anna, you know that our restaurant is positioned as a fusion restaurant. Customers may come from different cultural backgrounds. How can you provide them with quality service?”

Anna smiled and replied, “Mr. Chen, I will work hard to learn the etiquette and customs of different cultures and respect the habits of every customer. During the service process, I will patiently answer their questions about the dishes and let them feel our enthusiasm and professionalism.”

Chen Yu nodded and praised: “Very good, Anna. We hope that the waiters can not only provide thoughtful service, but also become the disseminators of restaurant culture, so that customers can better understand our dishes and the culture behind them.”

After a rigorous screening, a group of excellent employees were recruited. The next step was an intense training phase. Chef Li personally led the new chef team to conduct a full range of training from the selection of ingredients, cooking techniques to the adjustment of taste.

“Everyone, please note that after adding Spanish spices to this improved version of Bak Kut Teh, you must pay attention to the proportion of the spices so as not to cover up the original mellow flavor of Bak Kut Teh.” Master Li explained while demonstrating.

Chen Yu was responsible for training the waiters, and provided detailed training on everything from reception etiquette, food introduction to customer complaint handling.

“When customers ask about the characteristics of the dishes, you should clearly and vividly introduce the cultural elements and unique tastes that are integrated into the dishes so that customers can have a deeper understanding,” said Chen Yu.

However, during the training process, some minor incidents occurred. A new chef always had trouble mastering the cooking methods of new dishes, so Master Li patiently guided him many times and also developed a personalized training plan for him.

“Don’t worry. You haven’t controlled the oil temperature precisely enough during the frying step. Practice a few more times and find that perfect feeling,” Master Li encouraged.

After a period of hard work, the employees gradually mastered their work skills and were ready to welcome the opening of the new branch.

Finally, on a sunny day, the second branch of Wang’s All-Series Restaurant officially opened. The entrance of the restaurant was filled with flowers and congratulatory banners, and the sound of firecrackers and cheers were intertwined.

On the opening day, the restaurant was bustling with people, not only local residents of Barcelona, ​​but also tourists from surrounding cities.

“We came here from Madrid just to try this legendary fusion restaurant,” said a tourist excitedly.

“It really lives up to its reputation, every dish is full of surprises.” Another tourist praised it after tasting it.

With the opening of the second branch, Wang’s All Series Restaurant’s influence in Barcelona has further expanded. More and more Spaniards have fallen in love with this fusion cuisine, and the restaurant’s popularity has spread not only in Barcelona, ​​but also attracted more guests from far away.

Wang Jianye, Chen Yu and Master Li looked at the bustling restaurant with a sense of accomplishment. They knew that this was just a new starting point, and there would be more challenges and opportunities waiting for them in the future. They would continue to work hard to make Wang’s full-line restaurant a well-known catering brand in Spain and even Europe, so that more people can appreciate the charm of the fusion of food and culture.

In the following days, Wang’s All-inclusive Restaurant continued to grow and develop. Wang Jianye and Sofia continued to look for suitable business opportunities and planned to open more branches in other cities in Spain. Chen Yu increased the brand promotion efforts and cooperated with local tourism agencies to include Wang’s All-inclusive Restaurant in the list of recommended tourist restaurants. Chef Li led the chef team to continuously develop new fusion dishes, such as combining Spanish paella with Korean kimbap to create a unique seafood kimbap.

As the brand’s popularity increased, some competitors began to emerge. They imitated the dishes and business model of Wang’s full-line restaurants, trying to get a piece of the pie. Faced with competition, Wang Jianye, Chen Yu and Master Li did not back down, but became more determined to create a unique brand.

“We cannot be defeated by imitators. We must continue to innovate, improve the quality of our dishes and services, and let customers always feel our unique charm,” Wang Jianye said at a team meeting. (End of this chapter)
