Chapter 924: Chapter 863: Impressive
Liu Hun didn’t answer many questions, but he clearly explained everything about Tianhe Company and Tianhe Restaurant.
Everyone was very satisfied with this, as these revelations were more than enough for the journalists to write numerous articles.
If it were in the past, Liu Hun might not have paid any attention to them, but given the opening of Tianhe Restaurant today, Liu Hun revealed a lot of information. Additionally, he invited them to a free meal, which naturally made all the journalists overjoyed.
"Alright, I’ve said everything there is to say. It’s almost lunchtime now, so I won’t hold up everyone any longer. You’re all welcome to enjoy a free tasting," Liu Hun said with a smile to everyone present.
As soon as Liu Hun finished speaking, the other onlookers started cheering. They didn’t care about the questions the journalists asked; they were only interested in the free meal and whether Liu Hun’s gourmet food was really as impressive as claimed.
Watching the crowd clamoring towards the restaurant, the scene of thousands of people was quite spectacular.
"I say, everyone seems to be a bit too eager. Tianhe Restaurant is right here; it’s not going anywhere. If you want to eat, please line up first. After all, everyone came here happily, and no one wants to see any accidents," Liu Hun said half-jokingly. Instead of stirring up dissatisfaction, his words made everyone feel more favorable towards him.
Spending 300 million yuan to let everyone sample the food for free was more than enough for consumers, and a simple matter of lining up wouldn’t bother them.
The initially chaotic scene was somewhat worrisome to Han Yunzhong and Han Xin’er, but with Liu Hun’s words, everyone immediately lined up in an orderly fashion, and the father and daughter couldn’t help but admire Liu Hun.
Due to the large investment Liu Hun made earlier, many new waiters were hired. As the crowd began entering the restaurant for meals, everyone sprang into action.
Seeing the vast two-story building fill up quickly, Han Yunzhong and Han Xin’er exchanged glances, both showing a hint of joy in their eyes.
Han Yunzhong came from a background in the restaurant business, so he understood a simple truth: Sometimes customers are very tolerant, but other times they are picky. As long as the environment is good, and the price and taste of the food are appropriate, there will always be many repeat customers.
Not to mention that the original dishes combined with Liu Hun’s recipes made the gourmet food far superior to their previous offerings.
On the opening day, having so many people, even if it was free, they still believed that in three days, people would choose Tianhe Restaurant for their meals in the future.
Liu Hun put down the microphone, grabbed a silk scarf and draped it on himself, then stood at the restaurant’s entrance. Each time a customer entered, Liu Hun would take the initiative to say, "Welcome."
With a line-up of beautiful women behind him, all the customers who came to eat felt a sense of pride; after all, the chairman of Tianhe Company was personally saying "Welcome" to them. Not many people would have the chance to experience such a thing.
If mentioned in the future, it would be the kind of thing they’d boast about, especially since Liu Hun was such an esteemed figure in everyone’s eyes.
Just past eleven o’clock, when Liu Hun was planning to take a break, having said "Welcome" continuously for hours had almost left his throat hoarse.
However, at that moment, a red Ferrari sped up to the front of Tianhe Restaurant. Had the driver not stepped on the brakes, many people might have been hit.
Seeing the red Ferrari, Liu Hun’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of coldness.
He knew trouble had arrived!
As the crowd became a little angry, the door of the red Ferrari slowly opened, and a young man with a beautiful girl got out of the car and walked directly towards Liu Hun.
"Excuse me, if you’re here to eat, please drive your car to the underground parking lot first. If you’re not here to eat, please move your car quickly," Liu Hun said calmly, his expression unchanged, as he spoke to the young man in front of him.
"Are you blind? I came all the way here; if not for a meal, what else would I be here for?" The young man, with one arm around the girl’s slender waist, looked at Liu Hun with disdain.
The young man’s words caused everyone present to freeze; no one expected that this guy would dare speak to Liu Hun like that.
However, it couldn’t be blamed on Qin Chuan; he had never cared about anything related to Tianhe Company and wasn’t interested in the news. He only knew about eating, drinking, playing, and women, so naturally, he didn’t recognize Liu Hun.
He came today on behalf of Tan Fei’s request. The two were both playboys and were on good terms, so Tan Fei had exaggeratedly told Qin Chuan about being snubbed at the restaurant, and Qin Chuan volunteered to come out and teach Liu Hun a lesson.
"If you want to eat, please drive your car to the parking lot first, then line up," Liu Hun replied with a smile, unfazed by Qin Chuan’s anger.
"What? I came all the way here for a meal, and you expect me to line up? By the time it’s my turn, who knows how long it’ll take. Kid, I’m telling you, I’m definitely going to eat today, and arrange a private room for me immediately!" Qin Chuan exploded in anger upon hearing Liu Hun’s words.
"Sorry, we don’t have private rooms here, whether upstairs or downstairs; it’s all one big hall. As I said before, if you want to eat, please queue up first." Liu Hun put away his smile and said sternly to the young man in front of him.
"Liu Hun, maybe let it go, arrange a table for them separately, after all, the guests are here, we really don’t need to..." Han Yunzhong, who was greeting guests, noticed the scene at the entrance and quickly came over to Liu Hun and whispered.
"Uncle Han, this rule cannot be broken. No matter how many people come to the restaurant in the future, everyone must queue up if they want to eat; as the saying goes, without rules, there can be no order!" Liu Hun calmly said to Han Yunzhong beside him.
"Kid, what if I don’t queue up?" Qin Chuan squinted slightly, his eyes full of coldness, staring hard at Liu Hun and asked.
"If you don’t queue, please leave, and don’t disturb other guests’ meals." Liu Hun replied directly.
Faced with Liu Hun’s insistence, Han Yunzhong couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, feeling rather helpless. In his view, anyone driving a Ferrari isn’t a simple character. Since they opened the restaurant for business, there was no need to offend guests.
Moreover, the other guests were somewhat shocked too. After all, the person was driving a Ferrari. Even if they had some special rights, they wouldn’t say much. After all, those people were richer and more powerful than them.
But Liu Hun didn’t choose to do so, and at this moment, everyone felt a bit more favorable towards Liu Hun and Tianhe Restaurant.
"You son of a bitch, kid, do you know who I am?" Qin Chuan said, grabbing Liu Hun’s collar, his face full of anger.
He originally planned to pick a fight with Liu Hun and the restaurant while eating, but he didn’t expect the restaurant wouldn’t even let him in, which was simply unbearable.
"I don’t know who you are, I only know that you’ve already exceeded my limits of tolerance." Liu Hun looked at Qin Chuan in front of him, and said flatly.
"Oh, so what are you going to do about it?" Qin Chuan, hearing this from Liu Hun, was amused and found it rather funny.
"Bang!"
Just after Qin Chuan finished speaking, Liu Hun landed a solid punch on his abdomen. In that instant, Qin Chuan let go of Liu Hun’s collar, clutching his abdomen tightly with both hands, his face full of pain.
After punching Qin Chuan, Liu Hun turned to the nearby security guards and said, "Beat him up, then throw him out. If he doesn’t drive away, smash the car!"
"Hiss!" As soon as Liu Hun said these words, everyone gasped in shock. As if hitting Qin Chuan wasn’t enough, now he was telling the guards to beat him up again and even suggested smashing the Ferrari if it didn’t drive away. This kind of thing could probably only be done by Liu Hun.
"You son of a bitch... if any of you dare touch me, I’ll make sure you pay for it!" Qin Chuan raised his head, fiercely glaring at the approaching guards, roaring angrily.
Hearing this, the guards hesitated, looking at Liu Hun with difficulty.
Seeing this, Liu Hun frowned slightly. He knew the guards were afraid of the forces behind Qin Chuan, so he didn’t make it difficult for the guards, instead coming up to Qin Chuan and delivering another hard kick at his body.
With that, Qin Chuan was sent flying a few meters away, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth, lying on the ground moaning endlessly.
"I just said, if you don’t drive away, I’ll smash your car. I, Liu Hun, always mean what I say. And take today as a lesson for you; if you’re not convinced, feel free to come find trouble with me anytime!" With that, Liu Hun had someone bring out a sledgehammer from inside and walked over to the Ferrari, smashing it vigorously.
This scene happened to be captured by some reporters, who then reported it, leading everyone to rate Liu Hun as the undisputed number one in Huaihai.
Smashing a Ferrari just like that, such courage could probably only be found in Liu Hun.
In a short time, a brand new Ferrari was turned into a pile of scrap metal. Liu Hun looked at Qin Chuan, who was pale on the ground, and said softly, "Remember, next time you want to cause trouble, just be straightforward, don’t mess around with useless things, and I’m not someone you can afford to offend."
"Liu Hun... I, Qin Chuan, will make sure you regret this!" After a short rest, Qin Chuan finally regained some strength and, gritting his teeth, glared at Liu Hun.
However, just as he finished speaking, another Mercedes drove up to Tianhe Restaurant.
At first, no one paid much attention, after all, Liu Hun had already smashed a Ferrari, a Mercedes was not even in the same league as a Ferrari.
But the next moment, when everyone noticed the license plate number of the Mercedes, they were dumbfounded; it read: Hai A00001!
