When you arrived in China, did you know you were going to have three mission stars?
5:08
Certainly not.
5:08
And when we started in China now more than 20 years ago, there was no Michelin for China.
5:14
There was actually no, I think only Michelin in Japan started then a little bit later.
5:21
And then there came Hong Kong and then they developed other places.
5:25
And when there have been a rumor that Michelin might be in Shanghai, but this never really happened.
5:31
And when I started timetable in 2016, we didn't actually know and that in the same year the first guide will be launched and we learned a little bit later that Michelin will be around for inspections and this was quite a surprise and in the end it was never really a target or goal to say we want to have three stars this was never a plan and honestly I never believed we could be on this level and Achieving one Michelin star was already a big success.
