After the party in the evening, everyone left the hotel and went back to their respective lodging places. Everyone was in a joyous mood as they departed from the Soaring Eagle hotel.
Of course, the most excited one was definitely Katelyn. After all, what she had always been expecting had suddenly happened. This was something that she had always dreamed about.
The strong bond that she shared with Anne, had always made her want Celine and Jack to be married so that the bond could be strengthened further. So, as she went back home with her husband, she was all smiles.
On the other hand, Jonathan had also decided to make arrangements. He had to take over the position of the family head as soon as possible. Even though it was true that he was still young, that was to be expected considering that they were the third generation.
If it could be taken that the ones who were currently leading the family were the first generation, the second generation was prohibited from taking over. So, the third generation, which he belonged to, would have to take over as soon as possible. After all, the first generation was already so old. It was time for them to retire.
He was sure that with the support that he got from Jack, it would not be anything difficult for him to take over the position. With Nathan out of the way, the biggest competition that he had been receiving from the family had been eliminated.
Arthur had initially not wanted the position. So, with the one who had intended to make him the family head gone, he was of course happy to be free once again. Although he was going to follow many restrictions, at least, they were not compared to the level that they previously were when he had to compete for the position of the family head.
Jonathan had already seen it. It seemed that Jack was operating his business at a loss. But surprisingly, none of his businesses ever failed. Since he possessed 10% shares of Kalmond Entertainment Company, once it merges with The Rose Entertainment Company, his shares will be reduced to 5%.
But even so, he didn't feel the least disappointed. Instead, he was happy. He knew about Jack's plan to dominate the entertainment industry. For that reason, even if he was given only 1% of the shares, he was willing to take. After all, not everyone could get the opportunity to be involved in such a big company.
As for Jack and Celine, the two of them had rushed off to spend the night at a certain night park. They wanted to enjoy their leisure time together. Celine's birthday was on 12th September 2026.
…
With the celebrations finally out of the way, the following day, Jack finally began his plans. As the security company was already continuing to dominate the industry, he wanted to deal with the hotels personally.
His heart already had a sense of urgency, as he was planning to go to the strongholds within a period of one year. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a loss to not utilize the manpower that he possessed fully?
Since he was already at odds with the Soaring Eagle hotel, then he might as well start taking care of it. It was not just a matter of making it go bankrupt, but he was also planning to acquire it. Of course, that was only after it was bankrupt.
The first target that was In his mind was the one that was located in the capital city. This was the biggest hotel among all the soaring eagle hotels present in the country.
This hotel had also been trying to open several branches within the capital city, to try to compete with the Glaze hotel. After all, with the methods that the Glaze hotel was using, it was obvious that they were trying to take the hotels to where the customers were.
In this way, they were preventing the customers who usually traveled for some distance before they could dine in the hotel that was located in a far distant place from going over.
Getting professional chefs was not a problem. But, getting master professional chefs was a concern. For that reason, Jack had decided to start by poaching the best chefs present in the Soaring Eagle Hotel.
He had already interacted with the chefs during the preparations for the birthday party. Even though he had not expressed his willingness to take them into his hotel, he was sure that these chefs who were fanatic at cooking would definitely be tempted.
Jack walked down the familiar corridors, as he headed towards the kitchen. Nobody prevented him from going there even though it was a staff only area.
Many of the staff members were quite familiar with him. After all, he had been here two days previously, and he was the one who had hosted a banquet the previous day as well. So, they had a good impression of him.
After he got into the kitchen, he met with the chefs. Just like always, they were busy as it was a normal working day for them, even though it was on a weekend.
When they saw him, their eyes glittered with excitement. They approached him as they asked enthusiastically. "Mr. Jack, are you here to cook?"
"That's right. If you want to cook, we can prepare everything for you."
"Do you perhaps have any other dishes that will need to be prepared? I'm willing to learn."
These four master chefs began acting like nursery kids. Jack could only shake his head at how enthusiastic these people were at cooking. But all the same, this was to be expected as for them to get to the level that they were in, it was not just a matter of learning, but dedication.
"Guys, I came here today with a proposition. I don't know whether you will agree to it or not." Jack stated.
The chefs finally calmed down, as they waited for Jack to say what it was that he wanted to inform them of.
When he saw that they were all paying attention, Jack nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that all the hard work that he had put in the past two days was not in vain.
ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm His goal was to assemble a team of exceptional culinary experts under his leadership. For him to be able to dominate the hotel industry, it was definitely not just a matter of having money.
Instead, this was something that concerned the recipes, as well as the professionals that worked under him. That was the reason as to why he began by poaching the chefs here.
Here's how Jack strategized to achieve his goal:
1. Showcasing his Abilities: Jack began by making a name for himself within the hotel. With all the skills that he had shown when he was preparing several sumptuous dishes, he had already made a name for himself as a master chef.
2. Establishing Relationships: Jack understood the importance of building relationships and networking to achieve his goals. For that reason, he had offered various pointers to the chefs about the mistakes that they were making when preparing different dishes.
This had made them appreciate him. And, they were always welcoming to him. After all, at their level, it was difficult to get a teacher. So, they were willing to do a lot to learn from him.
3. Promoting his Vision: With a clear vision in mind, Jack actively promoted his philosophy and approach to cooking. He focused on techniques, creativity, and delivering outstanding culinary experiences.
He wanted all the chefs who worked for him to be the best. So, he had already begun training them in the best ways of a chef.
4. Headhunting Top Talent: Jack was going to do that just now. He looked at the chefs who expressed a desire for growth, creativity, and new challenges.
So, he went ahead and began talking to them about joining his hotel. Of course, these chefs were all surprised when they heard that Jack actually owned the Glaze Hotel. They couldn't help but wonder what was the reason as to why Jack had come over to the Soaring Eagle hotel, rather than using his hotel.
Of course, even if Jack went ahead and explained, they wouldn't understand. So, he simply gave an excuse about that and continued emphasizing the benefits of joining his team, such as artistic freedom, opportunities for professional development, and a supportive work environment.
Jack didn't have to say a lot. Since he owned the Glaze Hotel, and his chef skills were already top-notch, most of the chefs present were willing. But, there was only a single problem, they were bound by a contract.
"You don't have to care about that. You just have to tell me that you are willing to join the Glaze hotel. As for the matter of the contract, you can leave that to me." Jack replied nonchalantly.
It didn't matter what amount of compensation he had to pay, but all of that was not a problem to him. After all, his balance had already gone close to 500 billion dollars.
With such a hefty amount, as long as he could accelerate the process of dominating the hotel industry, it was all worth it even if he spent $100 billion to do that.
When the chefs heard that, their eyes lit up. Since they had gotten a chance to learn from the best, then what the heck were they continuing to do here? So, all of them without hesitation went towards the locker room to change out of the chef outfit.
They were actually abandoning the work that they were doing at that moment. They would rather not stay here any longer.
But of course, this only applied to the head chefs. As for the chefs who were at a lower level, they were, of course, not easily convinced. Unlike the head chefs, there were most of them who had become chefs, simply because it was the only profession that they could pursue.
Of course, Jack didn't care about them. Whether they followed him or not, it was their choice. The main reason as to why he had come over was to simply get those that were at the top of the kitchen.
In no time, information that almost made the top management of the hotel vomit blood arrived.
All the head chefs of the hotel wanted to quit their job. And from the side information, it was said that they had been poached.
