Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

at night.

Du Shaojie took stock of today’s gains.

【Bound chef: Du Shaojie】

[Level: Special Level 3 Chef]

[Current works: Mapo Tofu, Daqian Dry-fried Fish, Spicy Chicken, and Fish-flavored Shredded Pork. ]

【Overall evaluation: delicious food】

[Bonus: Duration of the simulated chef skills competition (16000 hours)]

[Rewards: Exchange points (1600 points), simulation training time (16000 hours)]

[Special Reward: None]

[Exchange points: 9118 points\68266 points]

【Duration: 112700 hours\1368996 hours】

Du Shaojie couldn't help but smile as he looked at the increase in exchange points and duration.

Isn't that right? There is a reward for every effort. If he works harder, I believe he will be able to earn back the time he spent and the exchange points soon.

Now that he has a foundation of 51 dishes that have been rated as "delicious", he can slowly hone his cooking skills.

So, he went straight into the simulation and started to train other dishes in a targeted way. This was his plan, training and spending money, even the God of Cooking would have to kneel down.

The next day.

After Du Shaojie got up, he went to the bureau.

He almost forgot his status as a state-owned enterprise employee, but he had already decided to resign after the contract period expired.

"Why are you quitting your job? You haven't been seen for a long time. I just wanted to talk to you about this. The bureau has studied it and decided to extend the contract period for 3 years. The total contract fee for the two stores will be increased to 3 yuan per year."

When Chen Jizhou saw Du Shaojie, he was furious.

This kid has completely let himself go since he took over the snack bar. It's hard to see him now.

He has been in this position for many years and estimated that he could still do it for another three or four years, so he decided on the contracting matters in advance to avoid chaos when he left.

This was the only thing he could do for Du Shaojie, and he was afraid he would be powerless to do more.

"Thank you, Director Chen, and thank you, leaders. Don't worry, I will definitely help the bureau solve its problems. Well, after the next round of contracts are signed, I can accommodate 20 more people."

Du Shaojie was overjoyed. As he said before, it was necessary to be covered with the skin of a "collective enterprise" at this stage.

He naturally understood Chen Jizhou's painstaking efforts, so he sincerely said thank you.

"Xiao Du, things are different now than before. You have abilities and talents. I'm not afraid that you'll starve to death, but I'm afraid that you'll take too big a step and make a fool of yourself. I'll provide you with all the conveniences I should provide, but you have to be more cautious."

After all, Chen Jizhou is in a different position and knows that there is a lot of controversy about some issues at the moment.

He was subtly reminding Du Shaojie to take it easy and not cross the red line.

"Director Chen, if I register some of the business under the name of the snack bar and pay a small amount of management fee every year, do you think it's feasible?"

Du Shaojie always feels hesitant when doing things now. This is related to the overall climate. For example, private individuals cannot start a company.

He understood Chen Jizhou's hint and suddenly had an idea.

In fact, throughout the 80s, many individuals who opened companies and did business adopted the form of affiliation, registering their companies under the name of collective enterprises, making personal investments, taking responsibility for their own profits and losses, and paying a small management fee every year.

Many companies that later became well-known have come this way.

"Sure! We've already discussed this matter, so there's no problem. In addition, the name of the snack bar also needs to be changed. You can take the documents and go handle the formalities yourself later."

After Chen Jizhou finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal Du Shaojie to find a specific person to do the job.

Du Shaojie remembered Chen Jizhou's favor and completed the new procedures in a few days. The snack bar was officially renamed [Guangyuan Catering Service Company] and the nature of the enterprise was a collective enterprise.

After dinner in the evening, he called Su Dapeng to his private kitchen.

"Dapeng, haven't you always wanted to expand? Now is your chance."

Du Shaojie did not keep anyone in suspense and directly explained how to register and how to expand the scale of business.

In fact, affiliation is the core of a private enterprise and the skin of a collective enterprise. It is a form of economic activity that exploits loopholes in certain aspects but is recognized by all parties.

To put it bluntly, it is a workaround and nothing will go wrong.

The more Su Dapeng listened, the brighter his eyes became, and even when he looked at Du Shaojie, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes. After all, many things were just beginning, and he was not yet able to touch them at his level.

Even though he and Du Shaojie own several stores together, they are still self-employed at heart.

"Great! Now that you've said that, I understand. Shaojie, let's do it. Come up with a set of rules and I'll listen to you."

Su Dapeng has an advantage. Since he has set his sights on Du Shaojie, he naturally puts himself in a subordinate position.

Over the years, he has not fought or competed, and has always been obedient. With his relationship with the other party, he has gained Du Shaojie's trust. "Okay! Next, let's set up a company and affiliate it with the catering company. Then we can put all the stores into our company, and everything will be in order."

Du Shaojie first reported to the bureau, and then Su Dapeng signed a licensing agreement with Guangyuan Catering Service Company. The annual licensing fee was 1000 yuan.

So [the first branch of Guangyuan Catering Service Company] made its debut.

Afterwards, Su Dapeng changed the business licenses of all the stores, turning them all into sales departments under a branch company. In this way, he could expand without restrictions and open as many stores as he wanted.

Next was the [Da Pan Ji] specialty store. Du Shaojie talked to Dong Jun and the other party's attitude was very positive.

Du Shaojie asked Wang Yuxiu to sign a registration agreement with Guangyuan Catering Service Company and set up another company. The registration fee was still 1000 yuan per year.

This company is the second branch, and all future [Dapanji] specialty stores will be included in it.

The person in charge of the first branch is Du Shaojie, and the person in charge of the second branch is Dong Jun. Let them do whatever they want in the future. Anyway, he is too lazy to continue investing money, so just let them develop on their own.

"What is rolling development? It means using the profits from the store for reinvestment. Don't you want to open a branch? I won't pay for the branch from my own pocket. It will all depend on your money."

Du Shaojie decided to stop withdrawing profits from this month to support the expansion of the company.

Both companies are equipped with full-time financial personnel, purchasing personnel, distribution personnel, etc., and their offices are located in the former medical school cafeteria.

Two rooms have been vacated temporarily, and a five-story building will be built on the vacant land facing the street.

The first and second floors are commercial storefronts, and the third, fourth and fifth floors are offices.

This project has been handed over to the Municipal First Construction Company. Manager Ma is helping with the preliminary procedures and construction will begin soon.

"Everyone, please go in and out through the back door during this period. Because the front yard will be undergoing construction soon, the front and back yards will be temporarily separated. Do you understand?"

Du Shaojie called everyone to a meeting, including Su Dapeng and Dong Jun. These words were addressed to the employees who were stationed in the cafeteria of the medical school.

The construction period will definitely be messy. First, we must pay attention to safety, and second, we must ensure food hygiene.

"Understood!"

After everyone expressed their opinions, Du Shaojie announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Most of the employees of the two branches are unemployed young people placed by the bureau, and a few are recruited from outside.

"Shaojie, I need to increase the staff for making [Dezhou Braised Chicken], can you transfer four more experienced people to me?"

Su Dapeng has a detailed expansion plan. As the number of stores increases, the supply pressure of [Dezhou Braised Chicken] also increases, and naturally the production scale needs to be expanded.

"No problem, it can be done in three days."

Du Shaojie smiled and nodded. Of course he was happy to do so.

A few days ago, he also accepted 20 unemployed young people, and he absorbed them almost without any fuss.

But it still took the two companies a month to sort out all the work.

A month later, the number of [Dezhou Braised Chicken] sales outlets of the first branch increased to 16, basically covering the important areas of the city.

The expansion of the [Da Pan Ji] specialty store was more difficult, with only one store added in about a month.

Dong Jun's goal is to increase the total number of stores to three by the end of the year, and to five by next year. This is probably the limit within one or two years.

After the company was transformed into a corporation, Wang Yuxiu had more free time.

There are so many [Dezhou Braised Chicken] stores, and she chooses to visit a few stores every day, but her main focus is still on her little daughter. She is just a figurehead at the second branch, but actually has no control over anything.

In addition, the two former snack bar stores also changed their names accordingly, and are now called [Guangyuan Catering Service Company Minzhu Road Restaurant] and [Guangyuan Catering Service Company Chunfeng Lane Restaurant] respectively.

The person in charge of these two restaurants is Yu Jianxin, and the operating model remains basically unchanged.

It was not until before May Day that Du Shaojie finally had some free time.

That afternoon, he took some time to visit Zhong Fuxiang, who looked very worried.

To be honest, a good chef is not necessarily a good operator and manager. Du Shaojie has systematically studied catering management and has rich practical experience.

Although Zhong Fuxiang had worked in a large hotel and Du Shaojie had full confidence in him before, it turned out that he was not very successful in running his own business.

"My current situation is that I have a slight surplus every month, which is better than earning a salary, but I am worried that I will lose money if I am not careful."

Zhong Fuxiang did not hide the truth from Du Shaojie and told him the truth.

Du Shaojie couldn't give any specific suggestions. Everyone has different ideas, and talking too much would be annoying.

"Master Zhong, are you thinking of backing out? If you want to transfer the restaurant, I have no objection. I will collect rent no matter who runs it."

"That's not my intention. I just had a new idea recently. Can you give me some advice? I think the previous business was not good, mainly because the restaurant's positioning was wrong and the dishes were too expensive.

I thought it would be better to do a popular project. After thinking about it, I think hot pot is good. If I open a hot pot restaurant, the layout of the upstairs will have to be remodeled. What do you think? "

But Zhong Fuxiang's next words surprised Du Shaojie. (End of this chapter)
