Chapter 923: Chapter 862: Opening Ceremony
Regarding Liu Hun’s proposal, Han Yunzhong and his daughter Han Xin’er had no objections at all, after all, it was only beneficial to them with no drawbacks.
Of course, in Han Xin’er’s view, this money would eventually have to be returned to Liu Hun, considering it as temporarily borrowing his money.
If something really were to happen between the two of them in the future, that would be a matter for later.
Once the decision was made, Liu Hun returned to the company in the afternoon to have Yang Yi issue a company statement.
Upon the release of this statement, everyone in Huaihai Province was once again stunned. They couldn’t understand what Liu Hun was trying to do, but based on the statement released by Tianhe Company, it was issued in Liu Hun’s name along with medicinal cuisine dishes, sparking anticipation among many citizens.
After all, Liu Hun is an undisputed Divine Doctor of the world. When the Divine Doctor claims that consuming this medicinal cuisine can treat minor bodily ailments and improve health, naturally, no one would have any doubts.
After all, the achievements Liu Hun had made in medicine were evident to everyone, and no one would question the truth of his words.
In just three short days, all the signage of Han Yunzhong’s companies was replaced with Tianhe Company’s logo, with the name changed to Tianhe Restaurant; as for renovations, they were not necessary.
This also saved a lot of costs and time.
Three days later in the morning, at the main hotel in the Provincial City, Han Xin’er and Han Yunzhong were slightly nervous.
"Liu Hun, in these three days all the outside reports have been promoting this event, and today there are many reporters coming, isn’t our choice a bit rushed?" Han Yunzhong asked Liu Hun worriedly.
Han Yunzhong’s company had been built from scratch, and he naturally understood the principle that haste makes waste.
The three-day promotion and starting now indeed was a bit hasty in terms of timing.
"Uncle Han, to be honest, it’s not hasty at all, your company was already established, earlier it was just the issue of the company’s reputation loss due to that incident, now integrating into Tianhe Company’s brand is naturally incomparable to before. You don’t need to worry about this, Uncle Han, I’ll handle it well, next, you just need to count money until your hands cramp." Liu Hun smiled at Han Yunzhong, not concerning himself with this matter.
Even if all of Han Yunzhong’s companies combined, the total value wouldn’t exceed two hundred million, and two hundred million to Liu Hun today, is just a drop in the ocean.
He valued obtaining everyone’s recognition more, so that he would be appreciated in their hearts, only in this way, his Power of Faith would grow more and more.
"Liu Hun, if this messes up, you must reinvest money for my dad, otherwise, I won’t agree!" Han Xin’er didn’t forget to remind Liu Hun.
"Xin’er, how could you talk like that, Liu Hun’s future isn’t it also yours, if it fails, it fails, at worst your dad will start over, all I care about is your happiness, everything else is just trivial." Han Yunzhong immediately chastised upon hearing his daughter’s words.
"Xin’er, look how reasonable Uncle Han is, my future isn’t it yours, you’re family, talking like outsiders isn’t appropriate, plus, doesn’t your boyfriend have enough to cover this loss? Besides, this is just the beginning, yet you speak discouragingly, that’s not how business is done." At this moment, Liu Hun also chimed in.
Her father was enough to scold her, now Liu Hun joins in, Han Xin’er was a bit helpless, knowing that if she said anything more, her father would surely scold her again. Feeling left with no choice, Han Xin’er could only glare fiercely at Liu Hun, before letting it go.
"Young Master, it’s time." At this moment, Yun Bo walked in from outside the room and respectfully spoke to Liu Hun.
Due to the previous assassination attempt by the Tong Family, under Yang Yi’s strict orders, Liu Hun could only call Yun Bo back from Wenhua to protect him.
"Since it’s time, let’s head out." Liu Hun nodded to Han Yunzhong and his daughter before they slowly proceeded downstairs.
Outside the store was a vast open space, with a large stage on it, after Liu Hun, Han Yunzhong, and Han Xin’er reached the stage, the reporters eagerly flocked towards it.
"Chairman Liu, may I ask why you suddenly decided to shift to the catering industry, does this mean you plan to completely abandon Tianhe Company and develop in the restaurant industry?"
"Chairman Liu, if you are indeed planning to enter the restaurant industry, does that mean Tianhe Company is being completely acquired by Haitou Ventures, or that you were kicked out by Haitou Ventures?"
...
With such questions bombarding Liu Hun one after another, both Han Yunzhong and Han Xin’er looked somewhat shocked in the face of the many reporters’ inquiries.
They had never imagined they would one day face a frenzy of questions from so many reporters, and the reason for all this was precisely because of the young man before them.
"Regarding all your questions, I will give a comprehensive explanation now, so you don’t have to keep guessing," Liu Hun said, looking at the reporters before him with a slight smile on his face. He then picked up the microphone beside him and scanned the thousands of people present, his face calm.
Looking at Liu Hun’s not very broad back, even though he was facing thousands of people at the moment, he remained unfazed. At this moment, a hint of curiosity appeared in Han Xin’er’s beautiful eyes.
A poor boy from the countryside, even now with a successful career, remains humble and unyielding, carrying himself with an air of pride.
This kind of temperament cannot be changed overnight, and Han Xin’er is very aware of Liu Hun’s background.
"During the three years when you were in a daze, what exactly did you experience? Why have you become the person you are today?" Han Xin’er couldn’t help but murmur to herself in her heart.
But to know the answer to this question, she could only rely on her own efforts to discover bit by bit; and coincidentally, a woman’s entanglement with emotions often originates from curiosity about a man.
If the man is excellent enough, the woman will eventually be drawn in. If not, it’s another matter entirely.
Liu Hun lightly coughed twice, then nodded to everyone and said, "First, I, Liu Hun, sincerely thank you all for coming to the opening ceremony of Tianhe Restaurant today. Moreover, in the next three days, you can enjoy free food and drinks at all Tianhe Restaurants in Huaihai Province after obtaining a membership card. Of course, the membership card requires an initial top-up of at least a thousand. For some big eaters, they might finish that thousand in just three days, but rest assured, it will be charged again after these three days." At this moment, Liu Hun couldn’t help but make a joke.
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole crowd burst into cheers, for a restaurant offering three days of free meals is an enormous amount, even without Liu Hun’s fame.
In this day and age, a meal generally costs at least a few hundred, and three days easily add up to thousands. Liu Hun might then suffer losses up to the tens of millions—now that’s a true display of generosity!
"Director Liu, offering free food and drinks for three days across all of Huaihai Province, won’t you incur losses in the hundreds of millions?" One reporter quickly calculated in his mind and was immediately stunned.
"This gentleman is right. Our store also estimated this scenario. However, what I’m offering this time isn’t just one hundred million, but three hundred million for everyone to enjoy," Liu Hun replied with a slight smile.
Upon hearing this, even Han Yunzhong and Han Xin’er beside him were left speechless, mouths open in disbelief.
Liu Hun never mentioned this to them; of course, this wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision. If he had informed them about the three hundred million from the start, they most certainly would have objected.
Many people may never earn three hundred million in their lifetime, yet Liu Hun was generous enough to offer three hundred million for everyone to enjoy free food and drinks.
"Director Liu, isn’t your generosity too overwhelming? Do you have such confidence in Tianhe Restaurant?" one of the reporters asked in shock.
"This isn’t confidence; it’s trust in everyone. All the dishes in the restaurant were developed by me personally. Perhaps, apart from knowing that I was the former chairman of the Tianhe Company, you only know a few things about me as a doctor. But I can now responsibly tell you that I’m also a competent chef. In my spare time, I enjoy researching these dishes. Being a doctor makes me more knowledgeable about health than ordinary people. Trust me, after these three days, you’ll definitely have a pleasant surprise," Liu Hun replied calmly to everyone.
"Director Liu, could you reveal the current situation of Tianhe Company and the previous incident at Tianhe Restaurant?" another reporter asked.
"I believe many people are curious about this, and since that’s the case, I’ll address everyone’s questions. Even after selling Tianhe Company to Haitou Ventures, I’m still the largest shareholder. I rarely get involved in daily operations, aside from closely watching over the final stages of the Beauty Pill and Strengthening Erection Pill production; additionally, the previous incident at Tianhe Restaurant was just an anomaly. I can assure you that such issues won’t recur because we’ve thoroughly reselected our staff and chefs. Even if you don’t trust Tianhe Restaurant, you should trust me," Liu Hun stated to the reporters, addressing them one by one.
"Director Liu, are you planning to shift towards the catering industry in the future? After all, offering everyone free food and drinks at such a cost is quite shocking. There isn’t anyone in the world who matches Director Liu’s generosity," another reporter questioned Liu Hun.
In the past, Liu Hun might have disliked these reporters, but at this moment, he found himself liking them unexpectedly.
Originally, he intended to say these things even if the reporters didn’t ask. The effect was naturally better with the reporters actively inquiring.
"As for the benefits Beauty Pill provides women, I won’t elaborate on that since many reports feature interviews with our customers who’ve used our Beauty Pill, and none have spoken negatively. As for the Strengthening Erection Pill, there’s even less need to elaborate. Both pills, regardless of which, are beyond the purchase capacity of ordinary people. Of course, the prices for these pills will always remain unchanged due to their potent efficacy, which translates into high costs. For these reasons, I’m opening a restaurant, not to make money, but to strive for everyone’s physical improvement, ensuring no one stays as feeble as before; and those in good health will only become healthier. This is my true intention. If you don’t believe me, you can check the prices of all the dishes once you enter the restaurant—they’re incredibly affordable and reasonable," Liu Hun stated with a smile.
The final words truly revealed his ultimate purpose. Even investing a billion wouldn’t make him hesitate a bit, provided he could gain the Power of Faith. Moreover, this restaurant is set to earn a lot of money in the future.
