447 Champions also have a shelf life
This is not the first time that Lao Liu has been here in Boston, the United States. When he came here last time, he not only achieved great success, but also some things that he has to say.
This time, Xiao Miaomiao was not very interested. In fact, she was still thinking about the little animals at home, and thinking about having fun with the little animals is the most interesting.
"I still have to congratulate you. I hope you can get the qualification to participate in the final tomorrow." After seeing Raymond, Liu Wenrui said with a smile.
"Boss, I always feel like I'm cheating." Raymond shrugged.
"Our coffee beans are great. Now you brought the spring water over again. I really can't find any reason to not be qualified."
"You can't be so proud, in fact, there are still many people who are very good. The water and beans they use are also very particular." Liu Wenrui said.
"Actually, what I worry most is not the taste of the coffee, but the concept you explain, and whether the judges can accept it. With different moods, the feelings are also different when tasting coffee."
"Don't worry, when you are in China, you practice three times a day. The audience is the customers who come to the store to drink coffee. Whether it is the fluency of the explanation or the control of time, Raymond did a good job." Sun Baofeng said with a smile.
"He is now a big star in our store and is also the best barista in the provincial capital. I think you don't have to worry about this, just wait for him to bring the championship trophy home."
"Don't mess around here, hurry up and have some food first. Then you wash and sleep, and the jet lag is over. Look, my niece is sleepy and my big eyes can't be opened."
Old Liu shook his head helplessly, "She is not sleepy, she is bored. She is running around happily at home and playing with the little animals."
"Dad, Miaomiao are all very well-behaved."
The little guy was a little unhappy and was very obedient, so he was not as the old man said.
"Haha, Miaomiao is the most obedient. The second uncle will take you to eat lobsters." Sun Baofeng said happily.
The most famous thing in Boston is lobster. There are many lobster restaurants here. I just chose a big guy and walked in.
Sure enough, Xiao Miaomiao, just as Lao Liu said, is not energetic now because she is just bored. After the lobster is brought up, this little guy will be a little overwhelmed.
"I've eaten almost the same food, right? I'll report to you. I have brought four people from China. They are all Raymond's little disciples, and they are also baristas we trained ourselves." Sun Baofeng said.
"This time I can take them out to see the world. There is a rare opportunity. After watching the American selection competition, I can watch the domestic selection competition next year."
"How about talent?" Liu Wenrui asked.
"Hey..., how do you say this? You have to keep working hard. I haven't been in contact before, but now I've started from scratch." Sun Baofeng said.
"But he is also talented. Even if he can't win the championship in the future, it's okay to be a barista in our store. Now the store is half open. When the competition is over, they have to go back quickly."
Liu Wenrui nodded, and it was clear that Sun Baofeng said this. The four people he brought were more publicity. Otherwise, he would definitely have people who would recommend them, and he would also let him see them by the way.
However, you really can't be anxious about this matter. The training of baristas is a system and a training of talents in multiple aspects.
Moreover, this industry is easy to enter and difficult to exit. Anyway, it is just those fixed processes that anyone who tries a few more times can do. However, the difference between how the coffee you make out will be very big.
Now that such publicity is available, it can play a propaganda role in China. Is it a fake to just say that it is not practiced? I am very serious about cultivating baristas here.
"By the way, there is another thing. I think it is necessary to recruit some people in my washing plant. Give priority to recruit domestically. In the future, we will specialize in coffee roasting and tasting, and staff in this regard." Liu Wenrui continued.
"The salary will not be very high. When will they be granted a disciple, they will be given a formal work contract. There are still many people working in this area among the locals in Kenya, and it will be considered a supplement to our cafe in the future."
Sun Baofeng nodded, "I think it's okay. Young people still like to go outside to see it. Sasha, why are you talking so little today? You're so tired when you take a plane."
"I'm not tired, I'm just a little embarrassed." Wang Shasha said with a smile.
"Haha, what's wrong with me? You are just a family, so you must walk into the door." Sun Baofeng said with a smile.
"But you also need to work hard. Hurry up and have a younger brother and sister for Miaomiao to play with. You can also find something for the little guy, otherwise you won't be able to run with those animals all day long."
"Second uncle, what are younger brothers and sisters?" Xiao Miaomiao, who was gnawing at the big lobster, asked curiously.
"It's just that you, Sister Shasha, gave birth to a baby for you and you can take care of it." Sun Baofeng said with a smile.
Hearing this, the little guy's eyes shining and he looked directly at Wang Shasha, "Sister Shasha, when will you give birth?"
Taking care of the baby is also Miaomiao’s big hobby. She has taken care of many of them, but now there is an old girl, so it’s not interesting to take care of her.
Even Wang Shasha was so anxious. This little guy was really troublesome, so he couldn't say he was born.
"Miaomiao, don't worry, dad, work hard." Old Liu comforted the little guy and also brought a big scallop for the little guy.
"Dad, do you have a baby too?" the little guy asked curiously.
I am amused everyone on the table. The knowledge in this area has not been popularized by her, so she is what she thinks.
Lao Liu explained foolishly, the little guy didn't care much. As long as you promised to give us a baby soon, that's fine.
"How are you in contact with the travel company?" Liu Wenrui asked after chatting for a while.
"I have contacted several companies, but they don't seem to be very interested." Sun Baofeng said.
"And the airlines here seem to be quite fucked, not as easy to talk to as domestic airlines. Then work harder, there are so many cities here, I'm running for a month."
Liu Wenrui nodded, "The main reason is that I don't have much fame yet, and the accommodation problem has not been completely solved. Don't be too anxious, it will be fine in two years."
This is also a very realistic problem. No matter how you say it is useless, people always look at the actual efficacy. Now there are indeed a little scenery on their own farms and they are still guarding the grasslands, but there is no serious standard in terms of accommodation and catering.
People from Europe and the United States travel a lot, but many people pay attention to quality. They go out to play as real fun, and travel at will, which is also very common.
I really can't hurry this matter. When I become famous in the future, many travel companies will come to me to find it. It can be said that whether Sun Baofeng's travel company can be done well is the main factor here.
"Raymond, wasn't the 20th Barista Competition held in Melbourne in May? Why did your domestic selection competition get so early?" Liu Wenrui asked curiously.
"It is to give future contestants more time to prepare. Champion is also a great honor and is highly valued now." Raymond said with a smile.
Liu Wenrui nodded, "It's still good for us. After processing one item, it's one item. You can also take good care of the cafe and strive to open a company in the United States next year or the day after tomorrow."
"Three, are you so anxious?" Sun Baofeng asked.
"It's not okay if you don't worry, how long can the championship be valid?" Liu Wenrui said with a wry smile.
"People will talk about the champions of that year. After the champions of the next year are born, who will focus on the previous session?"
"So you have to train people well after you go back. At least we don't have to go outside to recruit some basic tasks in the future. If this coffee shop is opened in the future, we have to have a certain level."
Sun Baofeng nodded in understanding. Although what Liu Wenrui said was a bit nasty, it is indeed true. All champions have a shelf life. With the emergence of the new champion, the old group of halos will be much weakened.
The title of champion is also a signboard. When people are hotly discussed, the store opened by champion will naturally bring a round of publicity. After two years, even if you are champion, you have to let people check online to know who you are.
"I heard from you, it seems that this champion is ours." Wang Shasha said with a funny look.
"Haha, this is really close. Although there is no formal competition yet, as long as there is no big deviation, we are from our family." Liu Wenrui said confidently.
"In fact, our subsequent echelon training is worse, otherwise we can get one or two championships every year. The coffee beans in the future will not be the name of Guixia, but the coffee beans in our family are also commonly used champion beans."
"I guess when Raymond wins another championship, another barista will come to us next year to purchase. It's good to have a start, and it's not that realistic for us to do it ourselves."
"Now I understand that no matter what business I do, talent training cannot be stopped. If you look back, you have to think carefully about this and select a group of people from the Kale tribe."
"Otherwise, simply recruiting people from China or other countries will be too expensive. Moreover, the people who are recruiting may not determine the level of the investment, and they have to be trained to themselves with confidence."
"Tsk, you just want to eat the Kale tribe. Is the chief very amazing?" Wang Shashaba gave him a look.
"Hehe, I, chief, are really amazing." Old Liu said proudly, and then ate a large mouthful of lobster meat.
