Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

"You have factories and machinery and equipment, so you can get a loan from the bank."

Du Shaojie is not a businessman, but he does have vision.

Even if Yu Mo cannot get a loan in the mainland, he can still find a way in Hong Kong. It is better than selling the factory he has worked so hard to build.

"It's difficult! My uncle needed funds before and borrowed part of the money from me, but he still hasn't paid it back."

Yu Mo shook her head helplessly. It was not that she didn't want to take out a loan, but that she couldn't get one.

Du Shaojie was silent. The other party's factory was quite large, and even if he was willing to help, he couldn't come up with so much money.

Of course, according to his understanding, Yu Mo is not without any chance. That is to find a reliable partner and then solve the funding problem through the partner.

"Mo Mo, my ability is limited, so I can't help you much. Why don't you find a reliable partner as soon as possible? It just so happens that your uncle's family wants to sell their shares in the factory. Don't miss this opportunity."

"I thought so too, but the problem is that I have talked to several companies and the results are not very good. Forget it, Shaojie, don't bother, I just want to find someone to talk to, nothing else.

Besides, Liwen doesn't know about me yet, so don't tell her."

Yu Mo was a little disheartened. She came to Xichuan Restaurant for dinner today purely to find someone to talk to, and had no intention of seeking help from Du Shaojie.

"Wait a moment."

As he was talking, Du Shaojie recalled what he had gained at the cocktail party.

At that time, Cai Jing introduced him to many officials and business operators, among whom was a man who would later become famous. He was the manager of a household appliance company and was looking for cooperation everywhere.

He quickly opened the bag and rummaged through it, pulling out a business card.

"Mo Mo, go contact this person and see if we can work together. His main product is electric fans, which are in great demand. He is currently planning to move into air conditioners, so he does have the capability."

Yu Mo's factory is an electronics factory that mainly produces various home appliances under OEM conditions.

Nowadays, many companies are keen on joint ventures because joint ventures have many preferential policies. This is her strength, but it is a pity that she did not make full use of this condition.

"Thank you! That's all for today. I have to go now."

Yu Mo took the business card. Out of courtesy she would definitely contact Manager He, but she didn't hold out for much.

After Yi Mo left, Du Shaojie returned to the cocktail party and actually found Manager He.

After he found the other party, he didn't say anything else, just said that a friend wanted to discuss cooperation and he came over just to say hello in advance.

When Manager He heard that it was a Hong Kong-funded enterprise, he immediately became interested and kept expressing his gratitude to Du Shaojie.

Du Shaojie left immediately. He didn't know whether Yu Mo could reach a cooperation agreement with Manager He. If so, it would be beneficial to both parties. Manager He's company is not very impressive now, but it will become a world-famous home appliance giant in the future.

Life can be more beautiful, opportunities are the same for everyone and are fair.

Next.

Du Shaojie stayed in [Xichuan Restaurant] and began to train employees.

If a restaurant wants to thrive, the chef's skills are the first factor, followed by management, service, etc. It can be said that at present in China, there is no boss in the entire industry who pays more attention to this aspect than him.

As usual, during the four hours of training every day, he would activate the title of "Bronze Medal Lecturer".

Doubling the learning efficiency can save time for both instructors and students. Of course, one should take advantage of this condition. He would not save that little bit of time.

In a blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Du Shaojie spent 15 hours and successfully completed the training.

At the same time, in this process, 10 of the dishes he made received a comprehensive evaluation of "delicacies", for which he received 5000 redemption points and 10 hours of general time.

[Exchange points: 58918 points\292066 points]

【Duration: 21.60 million hours\527.30 million hours】

After finishing this matter, Du Shaojie went to the [Seafood Restaurant].

He came here for nothing, just to take a look and eat some seafood.

He didn't plan to get involved in Yu Mo's affairs. He had done what he was supposed to do, and he also fulfilled his friend's responsibility for Wang Liwen. He was too lazy to think about investment. There were opportunities everywhere. He would take it when he came across them, and he didn't need to look for them deliberately.

During the days at the Seafood Restaurant, Du Shaojie sometimes went fishing with the villagers, and sometimes drank and chatted with the village chief and others.

You can enjoy seafood feasts during the day and various barbecues at night. Life is very leisurely.

In fact, he could just lie down and rest now, but he would still take time out every day to hone his cooking skills. In the beginning, he practiced cooking diligently for a living, but now he does it purely because he likes it.

"Boss, someone is looking for you."

That afternoon, Du Shaojie was chatting with the village chief and a few others in the village when Xiao Jianjun sent someone to call him back.

He said someone came to the store looking for him, and that person's name was Yu Mo.

Du Shaojie had no choice but to get up and go back. When Yu Mo saw him, he said, "Shaojie, you have to help me."

"Don't worry, let's go upstairs."

Du Shaojie took Yu Mo to his own residence upstairs. "I had a good talk with Manager He. We both intend to set up a joint venture company for cooperation. In return, Manager He agreed to help me guarantee a loan.

But my family can't wait any longer, and my aunt is determined to sell her shares. I would like to ask you to help me, it doesn't have to be much, just take 6% of the shares and everything will be fine."

No wonder Yu Mo was so anxious and even asked Du Shaojie for help.

It turned out that she was afraid that after the change of equity, she would not be able to control the factory, so she needed a reliable person to take over part of the shares.

“How much does a 6% stake cost?”

Du Shaojie didn't say whether it was okay or not, he first wanted to ask about the price.

If the money is too little, he can help, but if the money is too much, he may not be able to give it out.

"My family is in a hurry, so the price is low. A 6% stake only costs 20 Hong Kong dollars."

"How much? 20 Hong Kong dollars?"

Du Shaojie felt something was wrong and unconsciously raised his voice a lot.

"Yes, it is 20 Hong Kong dollars. Because the factory still has foreign debts to pay off, this price is only slightly lower than the net assets."

Yu Mo explained it and Du Shaojie understood it immediately.

This price is actually on the high side. If the factory cannot be saved and goes bankrupt, this share will not be worth even 20 Hong Kong dollars, let alone 2 Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, if Yu Mo could bring the factory back to life, he would make a fortune.

Du Shaojie did not ask Yu Mo why she didn't buy it herself. It can be imagined that Yu Mo has been able to hold on until today and has taken out all the cash she can. She has no money left.

Apart from the factory, Yu Mo was actually on the verge of bankruptcy.

"How about this, I can buy a little more. How many shares do they have in total?"

Du Shaojie sighed secretly, thinking of Yu Mo helping Wang Liwen to study abroad, and thinking of Yu Mo helping Liang Meiqin to seek medical treatment in Hong Kong. He felt that he should do something.

"They hold a total of 36% of the shares, Shaojie, I need to remind you that this investment may result in a loss. The 6% stake is considered as your help to me, but the 36% stake requires 120 million Hong Kong dollars. If I lose, I can't make up for it."

Yu Mo had no intention of cheating Du Shaojie. If she lost 20 Hong Kong dollars, she could still hope to make up for it by selling everything she had. But if she lost more than million Hong Kong dollars, she would have no way out with her current financial strength.

Seeing that the other party was still able to control herself at this time, Du Shaojie couldn't help but secretly give her a thumbs up.

"It's okay. This is my own decision. It has nothing to do with you. It's settled then. I will use HK$120 million to buy their 36% stake. I will use my company in Hong Kong as the main body of the transaction. Is that ok?"

"no problem!"

Yu Mo looked at Du Shaojie with complicated eyes, and at the same time his heart was full of gratitude towards him.

In the end, she didn't say much. In order not to let down the trust, she had no choice but to work hard to revive the factory.

The day.

Du Shaojie followed Yu Mo to Hong Kong, signed the equity transfer agreement in Hong Kong, and paid part of the money.

He will need to go to Shenzhen to handle the equity change procedures, and after completing the procedures, he will pay all the remaining balance.

A few days passed quickly.

The matter was settled, and there was still HK$256.33 left in his personal (Hong Kong dollar) account.

To thank Du Shaojie for his help, Yu Mo treated him to a French meal in Hong Kong, and Manager He was also present.

"Manager He, I think it would be better for our joint venture to adopt the equity swap plan. At that time, the main body of the joint venture will be your home appliance company, and my factory can also be used by you."

Because Du Shaojie had become the major shareholder of Yu Mo's factory, she did not avoid him when she talked to Manager He.

Under his suggestion, Yu Mo wanted to acquire part of the equity of the other party's home appliance company, and the price to pay was to give the other party some shares of the factory.

Manager He also thought it was a good idea to have a joint venture as a subsidiary, but the two sides had differences on the specific plan for equity swap.

To put it bluntly, we couldn't agree on the price.

"I can only give you 21% of the shares, and you have to give the same amount of shares, otherwise I will have a hard time explaining to everyone."

Manager He’s company is currently just a county-level home appliance company with good profitability but small scale.

On the surface, it seemed that Yu Mo suffered a loss, after all, her factory was stronger.

However, considering the company's current difficulties, she finally chose to cooperate with the other party and agreed to the conditions proposed by the other party.

The two parties quickly completed cross-holding, and Manager He's home appliance company was transformed into a formal joint venture.

Because of this relationship, Manager He was willing to guarantee Yu Mo.

Du Shaojie asked Cai Jing to help him contact two banks and soon got a loan. In addition to repaying the old loan with the new loan, the factory's working capital was also guaranteed.

Subsequent orders came in one after another, including orders for electric fans that overflowed from Manager He, as well as orders for rice cookers that Yu Mo contacted himself.

Yu Mo's factory is capable of assembling a variety of household appliances. (End of this chapter)
