Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

"Not yet, but you can still talk to Mr. Meng about this matter."

Du Shaojie didn't say anything definite. In Meng Gang's development plan, [Seafood Restaurant] was indeed placed at the back of the list.

This is mainly because the expansion of [Seafood House] is subject to many restrictions.

"Boss Du, we can actually open another [Seafood Restaurant] in Shenzhen. After all, we are too far from the city center."

Xiao Jianjun did not give up and simply put forward his own suggestions.

Du Shaojie didn't say anything. He still had to protect Meng Gang in this matter. Otherwise, if everyone had problems in the future, they would come to him. Wouldn't the company become a decoration?

He picked up the glass, drank the wine in it, then got up and went upstairs.

Xiao Jianjun and others couldn't figure out what he was thinking, and they all wondered if they were a little too impatient.
the next day.

The more Xiao Jianjun thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he simply took a bus to the company to find Meng Gang.

Meng Gang patiently explained to him, and he also suggested opening another store in the city.

"Well, we can consider your idea. So, Manager Xiao, go back and make a project plan and give it to me. The company will hold a meeting to discuss it, and if it is approved, you can do it."

The reason why Meng Gang put the expansion of [Seafood House] on the back burner is mainly because this model is difficult to replicate.

This business project is suitable for coastal cities, so it is subject to many limitations. However, if it is just to open another store in Shenzhen as the other party suggested, it can be considered.

Xiao Jianjun then returned to the Seafood Restaurant and told everyone about Mr. Meng's attitude. Everyone was very happy.

After Du Shaojie learned the news, he just smiled and said nothing else.

He knew from the beginning that [Seafood Restaurant] would not be big, but in the future he could consider gradually penetrating the markets of Shenzhen and Guangzhou. He let Meng Gang, Xiao Jianjun and others worry about the specific choice, and he was too lazy to worry about it.

the next day.

Du Shaojie went to Hong Kong to visit Wang Liwen, who was now busy with work all day and was almost becoming a workaholic.

Perhaps feeling a little guilty, Wang Liwen took two days off after meeting Du Shaojie.

After two days, she had to go to work.

Du Shaojie didn't say anything, just told her not to work too hard and to take care of her health. But it was obvious that Wang Liwen didn't listen.

After returning to Shenzhen, he went to see Yu Mo. After all, they were his partners and he couldn't just ignore them because they were busy all day. But that was all he could do. He couldn't do anything else.

"Boss Du, this is the company's recent financial statement. Take a look first, and then I'll report to you."

Du Shaojie did not go to the Seafood Restaurant again, but stayed in the company for a few days.

The company was his, and even if he disliked business matters, he had to have a thorough grasp of the company's situation. Otherwise, wouldn't he be a hands-off boss?
"The [Northwest Noodle House] in Beijing is doing well. Its profitability has surpassed that of the [Barbecue Restaurant]. It seems that it still has great potential."

[Xichuan Restaurant] He knows the situation of each store very well, it’s just a matter of making a few more phone calls.

But he didn't expect that Northwest Noodle House would be so profitable, which almost overturned his understanding of "snacks".

It seems that Huang Tingting, who is behind Su Dapeng, has given her husband a lot of advice. The couple, one is very knowledgeable about "snacks" and the other has a natural market sense, both are experts.

"Yes, Mr. Su is very capable. The Yangcheng branch of [Northwest Noodle House] achieved profitability in the month of opening, and the momentum is already building. However, I am worried that he is moving too fast, and the talent and management aspects cannot keep up."

Meng Gang told the truth and also wanted to remind his boss.

Du Shaojie nodded with satisfaction. He needed a manager like this, not one who would do everything according to his mood.

"Boss Meng, you have considered everything very comprehensively. We should move forward step by step. However, Boss Su will not expand any further for the time being. He wants to settle down in Shenzhen, so he will probably be busy for a while."

When talking about Su Dapeng's family settlement, he thought of Cai Jing.

I haven’t contacted her recently, so I wonder how her new project is going?
After he finished talking with Meng Gang, he picked up the phone on the table and called Cai Jing.

"Sister Cai, how are you doing recently?"

Cai Jing happened to be in the office and couldn't help laughing when she heard Du Shaojie's voice.

"Okay, everything is fine. Ajie, why did you think of calling me today?"

"I was busy for a while, and now that I'm done I thought of inviting you out for dinner. Are you free tonight?"

"Okay, let's go to [Xichuan Restaurant], I just happen to want to eat Sichuan food."

The two agreed on a time and place, then hung up.

night.

The two sat in a small private room and had a very pleasant chat.

The topic involved the past in Xijiang and Director Luo.

"I will attend a land auction next week, and I am determined to get a piece of land to build the next commercial housing estate."

It was only at the end that Cai Jing talked about business matters.

Du Shaojie listened very carefully and then helped Su Dapeng book a house.

"Sister Cai, I can't help you with business matters, but if you need me in other areas, please let me know."

"Okay, then give Mikoto to me. I'm currently lacking a capable assistant. I don't like others, but I like Mikoto. Are you willing to let her go?" Cai Jing changed the subject and brought up the old matter again.

Du Shaojie thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back and ask Meiqin for her opinion. If she agrees, I'll ask her to come to you."

"Then thank you! Ajie, it's almost time, let's retreat."

The meal lasted almost two hours. Cai Jing had something else to do, so the two ended the meeting.

The next day.

Du Shaojie and Wang Yongli drove back to Guangzhou.

He rested for two days, and then found an opportunity to tell Liang Meiqin what Cai Jing had said.

After listening to this, Liang Meiqin was silent for a long time, and then asked:
"Shaojie, I just don't understand why Sister Cai insisted on having me go to her company? I have a clear understanding of myself. I'm not a genius."

"There are two reasons for this. First, of course, Sister Cai admires you very much. Second, I have some shares in her company, and she always wanted me to send a reliable person to participate in the management.

Sister Cai’s perspective on issues is different from ours. After she said it several times, I had to take it seriously. ”

This time, Du Shaojie did not avoid the core of the problem and told Liang Meiqin the truth.

He had lent money to Cai Jing before, and later the loan was converted into shares. He had never mentioned these things to anyone, so Liang Meiqin naturally didn't know about it.

"So that's how it is. If I go to work at Sister Cai's company, will I still be helping you?"

After hearing these words, Liang Meiqin felt much better.

At one point before, she even wondered if Du Shaojie wanted to keep her away from him?
At that moment, she was completely disheartened. She didn't fight or compete with him, and she never thought of monopolizing him, but why did he treat her like this?

Finally, Du Shaojie solved the mystery, which made her feel very embarrassed.

"Yes, you have another identity when you go to Sister Cai's place, which is to be my spokesperson. Actually, I didn't mean to do that, but Sister Cai insisted, so I had to do it this way."

Cai Jing came from the system and follows the rules when doing things.

She did this because she valued her relationship with Du Shaojie.

Du Shaojie had no choice but to follow their wishes.

"Okay, I'm willing to go to Sister Cai's company."

When Liang Meiqin heard the word "spokesperson", she immediately felt a great responsibility and agreed without hesitation.

"Yes, but there's no rush. I'll take you there in person next month. Sister Cai will provide you with a dormitory, and I'll buy you an apartment later."

Du Shaojie does not plan to buy a house for Liang Meiqin in the commercial housing community developed by Cai Jing.

Anyway, the real estate development in Shenzhen has already begun, and there are more and more commercial houses on the market, so there will be more room for selection.

Liang Meiqin smiled sweetly, and everything was said without words.

After a few days, Su Dapeng and his family went to Shenzhen first.

Meng Gang arranged for someone to help the other party rent a house, and also cleaned up an office as Vice President Su's office.

After Su Dapeng settled down, he led his team to start investigating in Shenzhen. He planned to open the third [Northwest Noodle House] here and was currently working on the preliminary work.

Du Shaojie then accompanied Liang Meiqin to Shenzhen. Cai Jing arranged a position for Liang Meiqin as assistant to the general manager, so that she could get in touch with the core business of the company as soon as she joined the company.

Du Shaojie was not in a hurry to leave. He wandered around Shenzhen and finally bought a house of about 100 square meters in the name of Liang Meiqin.

The decoration was directly contracted out, and Liang Meiqin will keep an eye on it when she is free.

When Du Shaojie returned to Yangcheng, he promoted Chu Linlin to the position of manager. Chu Linlin was very suitable for this role, and someone else might not be able to get along well with Liao Yongxin, Zhou Huai'en and others.

A few days after he returned, Meng Gang's project feasibility report arrived.

After careful investigation, the company decided to open a new store of [Xichuan Restaurant] in Shanghai. Now everything is ready, except for Du Shaojie's nod.

After much consideration, Du Shaojie had a talk with Zhou Huai'en.

At present, he has no shortage of excellent chefs, but he lacks head chefs like Liao Yongxin and Yan Dabao, that is, talents who are in charge of the kitchen.

He wanted to invite Zhou Huai'en to go to the Magic City to take charge for a period of time, which would take about half a year. Once the business of the new store stabilized, he could go anywhere he wanted.

Anyway, Zhou Huai'en is the company's technical consultant and does not belong to any store.

"I can go, and I can help you train a qualified chef. But I have a condition: you can't use my name to the outside world."

Zhou Huai'en has an active personality. If Liao Yongxin hadn't been in Yangcheng, he would have wanted to leave long ago.

Du Shaojie didn't think there was anything wrong with this condition and agreed on the spot.

He then signed Meng Gang's plan. In less than a week, a rental agreement was signed in Shanghai and the store began to be renovated immediately.

Du Shaojie transferred some staff from the barbecue restaurant, and then selected a few key members to go to the Magic City together with Zhou Huai'en.

He never showed up at this new store from the beginning to the end. It was all handled by people sent by the company. (End of this chapter)
