After the fleet returned, the Earthlings were secretly placed in immigration resettlement sites on nine border planets to continue their training.
Shi Yunqi did not announce this news. Only a very few people knew about it, including the Imperial Emperor Shi Cologne.
However, Shi Yunqi specifically told Lan Ke the news.
Lan Ke felt very happy after hearing this.
Although the Lan Group has developed extremely rapidly, it is far from enough compared to other business groups. To continue to develop and expand, it requires not only funds, but also a large number of talents.
Although there are many talented people in the empire, Lan Ke still wants Chinese people more than them.
It's not that she is so saintly and wholeheartedly promoting the Chinese. What she values is the Chinese people's talent in eating.
As long as it is edible, they can process it into a variety of foods.
Such a powerful talent is exactly what she needs now.
Although she promoted insect meat through live broadcasts, applied for many patents, and built a factory, her individual wisdom is limited and the wisdom of many is greater. If she wants to fully develop the value of insects, she cannot do it alone.
With these people brainstorming together, it will be easier for the Lan Group to develop.
Putting aside other things, after these people arrive, the food street can be prepared.
Once the food street is ready, a food festival can be held here. With this gimmick, there is no need to worry about not attracting more tourists.
But before that, these 100,000 people on Earth must first receive special training.
Fortunately, Pang Dahai was well prepared. When selecting people, he had prepared everyone's detailed information and classified them.
With the huge amount of information, everyone's expertise and experience are obvious. Among these 100,000 people, there are 10,000 cooks.
Among these 10,000 chefs, some are professional and have worked in hotels or restaurants, and some are amateurs who, although they have never been a chef, have good cooking skills.
In addition to 10,000 chefs, there are also 10,000 pastry chefs, all of whom are strictly selected.
After this group of people arrived, Lan Ke did not go to meet them, but just had a video call with Lan Yi to discuss with her the arrangements for these people.
This conversation gave Lan Ke some new inspiration.
She decided to postpone the food festival and hold a cooking competition show first.
During the last live broadcast of the freshmen’s military training, because her live broadcast was so popular, someone deliberately organized a cooking competition in an attempt to steal her limelight.
There are quite a lot of chefs coming this time. Even if there are ten people competing each time, we can hold a thousand sessions.
Well, the ingredients for every cooking competition are those undeveloped insects, animals and wild plants.
This way, she would have a gimmick and she wouldn't have to develop dishes on her own.
Although her income is considerable after live streaming became popular, she is also annoyed to continue live streaming like this.
After dominating the screen for so long, it's time to quit while you're ahead, otherwise I don't know how much hatred I will attract.
Lan Ke told Lan Yi about his plan, and Lan Yi started to arrange the cooks.
Training is one aspect, and the other aspect is opening a store.
The store and ingredients are provided by the Lan's Group. The chefs are responsible for cooking and management, while the Lan's Group is responsible for promotion. The final profit is divided into 30% and 70%, with the Lan's Group taking 70%.
I'm afraid any citizen of the Empire would not agree to such a profit distribution, but these Earthlings are different. They are unfamiliar with the place and know nothing except some cooking skills. Such a profit distribution is already quite generous for them.
After experiencing the despair of the end of the world and finally leaving that terrible place called Earth, no one wants to go back.
Not to mention a 70-30 split, they would not have any objection even if they were just given a fixed salary.
Lan Ke and Lan Yi did not give such a profit sharing out of spite, because the chefs are still the ones responsible for the operation and the Lan Group is merely an investor.
Just paying wages is obviously not fair enough.
Don’t think that these people are always tired now, that’s because they are afraid of being tortured by the end of the world.
After they have been here for a while and learned about the welfare and salary levels of the imperial citizens, they will definitely feel unbalanced when they look at their own salaries.
Rather than exposing the company now and leaving huge hidden dangers in the future, it is better to negotiate the profit distribution now.
Even if someone wants to immigrate to another planet in the future, Lan Ke is not afraid. They have all signed a contract, and if they want to leave, they have to pay a penalty of one hundred times the debt as compensation.
If someone is really willing to pay so much liquidated damages, she won't lose anything.
After the matter was settled, preparations were quickly started.
With the development of empire technology, many things are progressing very quickly, such as decoration.
After three days of emergency special training, ten thousand chefs and ten thousand pastry chefs have gained a basic understanding of the empire's current catering industry.
Lan Ke asked them to submit a personal intention form. Those who were willing to open their own restaurant should write a detailed plan. It was much simpler for those who were willing to work in Lan's restaurant. They only needed to write down their intentions and the dishes they were good at.
Not everyone has the courage to open their own restaurant, so many people seek safety and choose to help out in the kitchen at Lan's Restaurant.
There were also quite a few brave people who allocated tasks among themselves and everyone had arrangements.
Those who choose to help in the kitchen will enter the Lan’s Restaurant training base for further training, while those who choose to open a store will begin to prepare for the store in full swing.
There are so many things to do, including site selection, decoration, and menu training.
Fortunately, the Empire has advanced technology, decoration can be done very quickly, and the materials are safe and non-toxic. This alone makes it much more convenient than on Earth.
In addition to these cooks and pastry chefs, other people on Earth also have their own arrangements.
Some work in factories, some in planting bases, some in research institutes, and some even serve food in Lan's restaurant. In short, they all have their destinations.
After everything was almost prepared, the food court started business.
In order to increase her popularity, Lan Ke started a live broadcast, went shopping at the food street with Jun Tianheng, and started a live food show again.
She went into every store and looked around. The onlookers were so dazed by the variety of special foods that they couldn't even blink. They drooled and clamored to buy them in the comment section.
Just before Lan Ke’s live broadcast, the Lan Group opened a subsidiary, a food delivery platform called “Food Street”.
All the shops in the food court are on the platform, and those who want takeout can choose directly here.
Naturally, these small restaurants cannot have the popularity of Lan’s Restaurant, and even if they each open an official website, no one will be interested in them.
It’s different if you join the “Food Street”. You only need to pay a commission every month.
With Lan Ke's help in advertising, these stores quickly gained business. Although their daily sales could not be compared with those of Lan's restaurants, as new stores, their daily sales were already very impressive.
This is just the beginning.
