Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

A pleasant reminder sound rang out, and Du Shaojie knew that his mission had been completed.

To be honest, he was lucky to meet Pang Weidong, who was arrogant but rational. Although Pang Weidong's methods were not right, the two finally put aside their past grudges and reached a cooperation.

Otherwise, just solving Pang Weidong's problem would require him to spend a lot of energy.

Of course, this also depends on whether the other party is in the category of cooperation. Otherwise, he would rather close the store than compromise.

Only after returning home did he begin to take stock of his harvest.

First of all, after completing the task, you will be rewarded with 10 exchange points. If expressed in monetary terms, its value is as high as 1000 million yuan.

Secondly, the comprehensive evaluation of 4 dishes has recently reached the level of "exquisite delicacies", which has increased 2000 redemption points and 4 hours of general time.

[Exchange points: 174918 points\518066 points]

【Duration: 55 million hours\719.30 million hours】

The number of remaining exchange points hit a record high, which can be said to be a case of getting rich overnight.

It is now the mid-80s. Excluding his fixed assets, his cash alone would rank him at the top of the rich list.

Du Shaojie was so successful in this trip to Beijing that he should thank Pang Weidong.

Then, he opened two random gift packs and obtained two new titles: [Silver Medal Lecturer] and [Management Master].

[Silver Medal Lecturer]: Activate the Silver Medal Lecturer title. When imparting skills, every 10000 hours consumed can triple the learning effect, and the duration does not exceed 3 minutes.

[Management Master]: After activating the title of Management Master, your work efficiency can be increased by 10000 times for every 3 hours spent on handling company affairs, and the duration shall not exceed 60 minutes.

Using these two titles will consume general time, but the effects are extraordinary.

A week later.

Yi Chunmei's team has arrived in Beijing. There are eight people in total, and they will be responsible for the kitchen work.

The head chef is Wang Zijie, who has followed Du Shaojie for many years. He was previously in charge of seasoning at a barbecue restaurant in Yangcheng and has now arrived in Beijing.

The hot pot restaurant was under renovation, so Pang Weidong rented a house near the store as a dormitory for employees. In addition, he also borrowed a place for employee training.

The person appointed by Pang Weidong served as manager, and this person and Wang Zijie were responsible for the overall training work.

Du Shaojie gave Wang Zijie a private lesson every afternoon, mainly teaching him how to make hot pot base and dipping sauce.

As the representative arranged by Du Shaojie at the hot pot restaurant, Wang Zijie signed a long-term agreement and a confidentiality agreement with the catering company.

It’s not that Du Shaojie doesn’t trust him, but these are all normal procedures.

Ten days passed in a hurry.

Wang Zijie has already mastered the essence of making hot pot base and dipping sauce. For two hours every day, Du Shaojie will start the title of "Silver Medal Lecturer". The threefold learning effect is simply like divine help.

Of course, Du Shaojie also spent 20 hours of general time on this.

He is open-minded and will not feel bad whether it is exchange points or duration, as long as it is spent where it should be spent.

[Exchange points: 174918 points\518066 points]

【Duration: 35 million hours\719.30 million hours】

"Dongzi, the service of the [hot pot restaurant] must keep up. I have some ideas, and you should try to make them come true."

Du Shaojie sometimes also takes a look at other aspects of training. The store's management and service personnel are basically in place. He suggests that Pang Weidong pay close attention to service quality.

Pang Weidong has this advantage. He doesn't understand much, so he can listen to opinions. He accepts all of Du Shaojie's suggestions and never refutes or argues.

The store was renovated quickly and was equipped with all kinds of equipment and facilities.

An auspicious day was chosen for the grand opening of Beijing's [Shuweixiang Hotpot], welcoming guests from all over the world.

The restaurant was packed on the opening day; the authentic taste, high-quality ingredients, good service, and spacious and comfortable dining environment received unanimous praise from customers.

The consumption level is of middle to lower range, with high cost performance, catering to the needs of the masses.

Du Shaojie spoke highly of Manager Fang, who was hired by Pang Weidong. This woman was in her thirties and had extensive experience in the catering industry. She was previously the manager of a "Brushed Lamb" restaurant and was poached by someone.

"Ajie, your cooking skills are impeccable, whether it's the hot pot base or the dipping sauce, they are all impeccable. With Manager Fang in charge of the daily operations, I believe the business will be good."

Since the opening, Pang Weidong has been in a very excited state.

It has been more than a week, and the business in the store is still booming. When he and Du Shaojie reached an agreement, he was still a little hesitant, but now he is completely convinced.

An expert is an expert, he never speaks empty words.

"Dongzi, as long as we persist in doing our best, our business will definitely be good. We can't learn from others to cut corners. Once our reputation is ruined, nothing can help. As for the taste, let's leave it like this for now, and we can make adjustments after a while."

During this period, Du Shaojie spent most of his time in the hot pot restaurant, except for occasionally accompanying Qi Yan.

He is a very serious person. Since he has agreed to cooperate with others, he must at least do his best in the area he is responsible for.

Now that the business of the new store has stabilized, he gave Pang Weidong a few instructions and decided not to come from tomorrow. He will stay at the Northwest Noodle House for a few days, and then go to the Magic City with Qi Yan. When the summer vacation comes, Xiaomei and Xiaoya will go to the Magic City and plan to have a good time there for a few days.

Du Shaojie accompanied them around the city for two days, then went to nearby Suzhou City to take a look, and then sent these "little foodies" on the plane to Xijiang.

The three of them obviously had little interest in traveling, but they had an unusual passion for food.

Even the local sweet dishes, they also eat with gusto.

Du Shaojie stayed at the Shanghai branch of Xichuan Restaurant for 10 days and trained the kitchen staff. It only takes 2 hours a day and will not affect the normal operation.

In his spare time, he would play chess and drink tea with Zhou Huai'en to prevent the old man from always complaining about being too bored.

"I heard that you once opened a private restaurant? Why didn't you do that later?"

Zhou Huai'en's temper hasn't changed much since he started working with Du Shaojie, but his mentality has improved a lot.

His son returned from studying abroad and kept asking him to go to Beijing to retire, but he refused. Retirement at home is just eating and waiting to die, which is meaningless. It is better to do something to feel fulfilled.

He recently researched the private restaurant that Du Shaojie once opened and found it to be quite good.

"How should I put it? Private restaurants do have high profits, but there are conditions for success. Either the operator has a deep network of contacts and is well connected, or they rely on a team of master chefs to slowly build up a good reputation, and neither of these is easy."

Du Shaojie knew very well that the so-called [private restaurants] were targeting high-end consumers and had a completely different business philosophy.

Zhou Huai'en nodded thoughtfully. He thought the other party should consider this model. But the time was not right yet, so he didn't say much.

After finishing the short-term training, Du Shaojie flew back to Guangzhou.

His remaining time was reduced by another 20 hours, and there was a risk of hitting bottom.

[Exchange points: 174918 points\518066 points]

【Duration: 35 million hours\719.30 million hours】

After resting in Yangcheng for a few days, Wang Yongli drove him to the company.

Meng Gang is in charge of the company's daily affairs, but over such a long time a lot of things have accumulated that need to be handled by him personally.

There was no way out. He didn't like this kind of thing in the first place, so he had to use the title of "management master" to handle these official duties.

The moment the title was activated, he immediately entered a state of focused work, as if he had become a different person. With three times the work efficiency, he no longer had to work at his desk for long periods of time. Two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon could completely match the work results of others in 12 hours.

three days later.

Du Shaojie finally finished the work at hand.

These tasks are not meaningless, but they are limited in significance. Many documents are signed after the fact, which is just a formality. However, this formality is necessary, otherwise the company's rules and regulations will be meaningless.

There is one disadvantage of choosing Shenzhen as the company's headquarters. There is no airport here, which is inconvenient at many times.

However, these are minor flaws and can be ignored.

"Boss Meng, please organize something this weekend and call all the employees in the company. We will have a meal at the Seafood Restaurant."

Su Dapeng is away these two days, but he will be back before the weekend.

Du Shaojie felt that he should strengthen the communication with the company's employees, so he decided to organize a "dinner party" for the whole company. However, there are still many employees stationed in other places, and they will definitely not be able to come back.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements in advance."

Meng Gang responded with a smile, and then went to arrange the matter.

Du Shaojie left the company, went to see Zhong Fuxiang, then went to the Shenzhen branch of Xichuan Restaurant, and then went directly to the Seafood House.

Having a car is much more convenient now and can save a lot of time.

On weekends, the company's employees gathered at the Seafood House. In order not to affect normal business, the dinner was arranged in the afternoon, an hour earlier than dinner time.

Before the meal, Du Shaojie made a brief speech.

Then the meal officially began. He, Meng Gang, Su Dapeng and others held up their wine glasses and went around to toast the employees.

The atmosphere was very good, and Du Shaojie and the others drank a lot. Fortunately, none of them were drunk, otherwise it would have been a joke.

The dinner ended after mealtime. Du Shaojie went upstairs, lay down and fell asleep.

Not knowing how long he had slept, he got up and wanted to drink some water, and then he heard the phone ringing in the living room.

He walked over and picked up the receiver, then heard Yu Mo's voice: "Shaojie, you're in Shenzhen? It just so happens that the air-conditioning production line in the factory has been debugged and will start trial production the day after tomorrow. Come and take a look."

"Where are you now? The background is so noisy. The day after tomorrow, right? I'll come over then."

Yu Mo should be outside, as there was a loud noise coming from the receiver.

Yu Mo couldn't hear clearly, so he said, "I'm eating outside. It's too noisy here. Let's talk when we meet." (End of this chapter)
