Chapter 417: Business Journey

The lights were just coming on, and the mansion of Chen Jue and Chen Jia was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. A grand celebration banquet was being prepared. Chen Jia was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, carefully arranging her hair, and her eyes were filled with joy and anticipation. Chen Jue was wearing a straight long gown, looking very imposing. He walked into the room, looked at the busy Chen Jia, and said gently: "My wife, today's celebration banquet is an important node in our business journey. The presence of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess is a recognition of us."

Chen Jia turned around and responded with a smile: "My husband, we have gone through a lot of hardships along the way. It is not easy to achieve what we have today. Now that we can celebrate with the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, it can be regarded as a recognition of our efforts. I hope that tonight's banquet will go smoothly, and I look forward to discussing broader business prospects with them."

As they were talking, the servant came to report that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had arrived at the palace. Chen Jue and Chen Jia hurried out to greet them. When they saw the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, they quickly bowed. The Crown Prince smiled and helped them up, saying, "Mr. Chen, Madam Chen, I came here today to congratulate you on your achievements and to have a good chat with you about future business development."

Chen Jue said respectfully: "It is our honor that Your Highness can come. Our achievements today are inseparable from Your Highness's support and care."

Everyone moved to the banquet hall, which was decorated magnificently, and the tables were filled with delicacies. After everyone was seated, the prince picked up the wine glass, stood up and said: "Today, we are gathered here to celebrate the business achievements of Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen. Their development in the field of food and commerce has not only brought rich wealth to the Daqing Kingdom, but also spread our culture, which is indeed a great achievement. Come, let us raise our glasses together and wish them a prosperous future!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all. Chen Jia stood up, bowed gracefully, and said, "Thank you for your praise, Your Highness. Along the way, we have only done what we wanted to do. We are lucky to be recognized by everyone."

The Crown Princess smiled and said, "Madam Chen is too modest. The special foods you have developed, such as the goat barbecue without mutton smell, the fragrant rabbit dishes, and the delicious braised dishes and seasonal fresh vegetable dishes, are not only popular in China, but also exported overseas. It is really admirable."

Chen Jue said modestly, "You are too kind, Princess. In fact, we have encountered many difficulties in the course of operation. For example, when we were breeding goats without odor, we visited countless ranches, consulted many experts and herdsmen, and after countless attempts and adjustments to the breeding methods, we finally succeeded."

The prince asked with great interest, "Oh? I'd like to hear more about it. It must be very difficult to breed goats without odor. How did you do it?"

Chen Jia took over the conversation and said, "Your Highness, we first started with the breed, looking for goat breeds with relatively light mutton smell. Then during the breeding process, we adjusted their diet structure, tried adding various grasses and grains, and even added some special herbs. At the same time, we closely observed the growth of the goats and the changes in meat quality. After many cooking tests and continuous improvements, we finally bred goats without mutton smell."

After hearing this, the Crown Princess nodded repeatedly: "It's really not easy. Your spirit of research and innovation is worth learning from. So what challenges did you encounter in the process of promoting these delicacies?"

Chen Jue thought for a moment and said, "In terms of promotion, the biggest challenge is to make people from different regions and cultural backgrounds accept our food. For example, when promoting overseas, we found that the eating habits of different countries and regions vary greatly. People in some places are not very receptive to rabbit meat, while others have different preferences for the taste of spices. Therefore, we made some adjustments and improvements to the dishes according to local market demand."

Chen Jia added: "In terms of packaging and transportation, in order to ensure the quality and taste of the food, we use advanced vacuum packaging technology and refrigerated transportation methods, which also increases a lot of costs and difficulties. But in order to let more people taste our food, these efforts are worth it."

The prince nodded and said, "You have considered everything very carefully. Now that your business territory has grown to a considerable scale, do you have any new plans and ideas for the future?"

Chen Jue and Chen Jia looked at each other, and Chen Jue said, "Your Highness, we plan to further expand overseas markets. At present, although our food has gained a certain degree of popularity in some countries and regions, there are still many potential markets waiting for us to develop. We want to set up sales points in more countries and let Daqing's food go to every corner of the world."

Chen Jia went on to say: "At the same time, we also want to develop chain operations in China. We want to promote our specialties to more cities so that people in China can easily taste our dishes. Moreover, we can also better control the quality of ingredients and the taste of dishes through chain operations."

The Crown Princess smiled and said, "Both plans are good. However, overseas market expansion may face more challenges, such as local policies and regulations, market competition, etc. Do you have a strategy to deal with it?"

Chen Jue said confidently: "What the Crown Princess said is absolutely right. We have formed a professional team to study the policies, regulations and market conditions of different countries and regions. At the same time, we will also establish close ties with local partners and use their strength to open up the market. In terms of competition, we will continue to innovate and launch more special dishes that suit local tastes, winning with quality and service."

The prince nodded with satisfaction. "Very good, it seems that you have already considered everything carefully. Then how do you plan to ensure the quality of the dishes and service level of each store when developing chain operations in China?"

Chen Jia said, "Your Highness, we will establish strict food procurement standards and quality control systems. All ingredients will be purchased and distributed by us to ensure freshness and safety. At the same time, we will provide unified training to chefs in each store so that they can master our cooking techniques and taste standards. In addition, we will also establish a complete service management system and regularly inspect and evaluate stores to ensure consistency in service levels."

After hearing this, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess all expressed their agreement. The Crown Prince raised his glass and said, "Mr. Chen, Madam Chen, after listening to your plan, I am full of confidence in your future. Come, let us raise our glasses again and wish you a smooth implementation of your business plan and make greater contributions to the prosperity of Daqing!"

Everyone raised their glasses again, and the atmosphere of the banquet reached a climax. In the following time, they continued to discuss some specific business details in depth, such as fund raising and talent training.

Chen Jue said: "Your Highness, as the business develops, our demand for funds will also increase. We plan to raise funds by cooperating with banks and attracting investment. At the same time, we will also arrange the use of funds reasonably to ensure that every penny is used wisely."

The prince nodded and said, "The funding issue is indeed the key. You must handle it carefully to ensure the stable development of the business. What plans do you have for talent training?"

Chen Jia said: "Your Highness, we are well aware that talent is the key to corporate development. We will establish a comprehensive talent training system to train not only professional chefs and sales staff, but also management talents. We will provide good training opportunities and development space so that employees can realize their own value in our company."

The Crown Princess smiled and said, "Mrs. Chen's ideas are very advanced. The success of an enterprise is inseparable from excellent talents. I hope you can attract more talents and jointly promote the development of the enterprise."

The banquet came to an end amid heated discussions, and the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess stood up to say goodbye. The Crown Prince said, "Mr. Chen, Madam Chen, today's conversation has benefited me a lot. I hope you can achieve your business goals soon, and I look forward to more good news from you."

Chen Jue and Chen Jia respectfully saw the Crown Prince and Crown Princess off. After returning to the banquet hall, Chen Jia leaned on Chen Jue's shoulder and said, "My husband, today's conversation with the Crown Prince and Crown Princess has given me more confidence in the future development of my business."

Chen Jue gently hugged Chen Jia and said, "My dear, we have supported each other along the way and have achieved what we have today. In the future, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we must face them together and create a more brilliant business legend together."

Under the moonlight, the residence of Chen Jue and Chen Jia looked particularly peaceful and tranquil. Their business dreams, like the stars in the night sky, shone brightly and guided them forward.
