Rank

K decides to continue with his speech, "The problem is, not everyone from that 1000 experts are interested in ramen. Some of them know only Italian cuisine, and some only French or Chinese. Even if they know about Japanese food, some are specialized in tempura and others sashimi. To impress all - or the majority - of them, a restaurant must be all rounded in every aspect."

"What do you mean?" The chef asked - he was fully awake now.

"What I'm getting at is, to make your shop rank high and be famous, you must not confine yourself to ramen. Let's formulate a strategic plan to enrich your menu - how about including udon and soba as a start? A few weeks later, we can add sushi and teriyaki, followed some months later by Canton and Thai cuisine."

"Em... May I ask what's the point of being all-rounded if that means losing my own edge?"

"My friend, having an edge does not help you outshining the others in this ranking business."

In no time, the chef thought of the story of Mao Sui (毛遂).
