Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Du Shaojie realized that he had misunderstood the other party and quickly apologized.

Yu Mo waved his hand, skipped the topic, and talked about what he gained from his several trips to Hong Kong.

"I found a foreign company that was willing to sell the production equipment and complete technical data of the circuit board. I went to see it and found that the equipment was at least 8% new and the technology was not backward.

In addition, I also found a communications equipment manufacturer whose flagship product is walkie-talkies. They can provide the technology, and we can produce their products under their brand name.”

Yu Mo said that Mr. He had not mentioned the issue of shares recently, but she did not dare to be careless and planned to find a retreat in advance.

She has already negotiated two projects, one is to produce "printed circuit boards" and the other is to produce "walkie-talkies" under a brand name. Relatively speaking, the technical threshold for "printed circuit boards" is higher, while the technical threshold for assembling "walkie-talkies" is lower.

"I don't understand this. Just make the decision for yourself."

Du Shaojie is not being modest. Assembling a walkie-talkie is easy, but he really doesn't understand printed circuit boards.

Yu Mo smiled and shook his head. They were both shareholders, but others lived freely while he was living such a tiring life!
"I personally prefer the printed circuit board project. You know, they are transferring technology at the same time this time. Such opportunities are rare. The only problem is that the investment is a bit large. The first phase investment is at least 2000 million yuan, but you can get a loan later."

Yu Mo has already made a preliminary choice. Even if Du Shaojie doesn't come today, she will go to him to discuss this matter.

Du Shaojie calculated that if he sold a portion of the factory's shares, the first phase of investment would not be much different. Moreover, Yu Mo had a good negotiation with the local authorities, and there would be loan support in the future.

Then do it.

Yu Mo was very happy to see that Du Shaojie did not object. In order to get through the difficulties, she had to ask him for help. Now it seems that his attitude of not caring about the matter is actually beneficial to her.

Since they didn't have time to go out for lunch at noon, they went to the cafeteria.

The quality of the food in the cafeteria is simply hard to describe. Du Shaojie suggested that Yu Mo change the chef, and Yu Mo agreed readily.

After dinner, Du Shaojie said goodbye and left.

It was not until two days later that he met Liang Meiqin.

"Shaojie, I've been too busy recently. As soon as I had some free time, I asked Mr. Cai for a day off. Let's not go anywhere today and just stay at home, okay?"

Liang Meiqin looked at Du Shaojie with tenderness. She had neglected him a few days ago, so she must make it up to him today.

Du Shaojie smiled and nodded, and indeed, the two of them did not go out the whole day.

The next day.

Du Shaojie returned to Guangzhou.

Things progressed quickly on Pang Weidong's side, and the renovation of the three stores was completed in just about a month.

As the new store was about to open, Du Shaojie had to fly to Beijing.

Some things still need his personal approval, which was agreed upon before the cooperation.

Du Shaojie made a quick tour of Beijing, Tianjin and Chang'an, and after confirming that there were no problems, he opened the three stores at the same time.

Du Shaojie stayed in Chang'an at this time, while Pang Weidong went to Tianjin. The manager of the head office in Beijing was in charge, and all three stores had a great start on the opening day.

It seems that Pang Weidong made the right bet. High investment brings high returns. As long as it can continue, I believe he will be able to get his money back soon.

After finishing this matter, Du Shaojie went directly to Xijiang. He didn't go back for the whole summer vacation. He thought he should go to see his mother and inspect his business at the same time.

At present, the business of Xijiang store of [Xichuan Restaurant] is very good, and the business of the remaining few [Dapanji] specialty stores is also acceptable, but not as popular as before.

Wang Yuxiu was indeed surprised to see her son.

"You didn't even tell me you were coming back. You guys are getting cocky, right?"

"That can't be possible. I was doing something in Chang'an and decided to come back at the last minute, so I didn't have time to tell you. Mom, if you're bored staying here alone, why don't you go to Yangcheng for a while?"

Du Shaojie feels that he really has the world as his home now, and it is rare for him to stay in one place quietly for more than two months.

He was used to a life of going wherever he wanted, so he went directly to the airport check-in counter to buy the ticket. How could he have time to talk to Wang Yuxiu?
But she could understand my feelings and quickly explained.

"Let's talk about it later"

Wang Yuxiu's complexion looked much better, but she neither agreed nor refused her son's invitation.

Currently, she and Su Xiaoyun jointly manage the [Dezhou Braised Chicken] business. The monthly income is very stable and she simply cannot let it go.

Du Shaojie knew what was going on at a glance and stopped talking.

the next day.

He invited Liu Ying, Jiang Cheng, Lu Yimin and others to have a meal at Xichuan Restaurant and checked the work in the kitchen.

Today's table was prepared by Liu Ziwang himself. His cooking skills have improved significantly compared to before, which made Liu Ying and others praise him highly.

"Shaojie, it's really not easy to see you now. However, you should still stay in the south. After all, that's the forefront of reform and opening up, with more opportunities and more relaxed policies."

Jiang Cheng said with emotion that the business environment in his hometown is definitely not as good as that in the south, or even in most places in the country, so there is a saying that "the peacock flies southeast".

"I will come back occasionally, and when I come back I will naturally get together with you all."

While drinking, Du Shaojie recalled many past events.

Several people present here have provided him with a lot of help, and he has not forgotten any of it.

However, everyone's life trajectories have shifted, and we will have fewer and fewer opportunities to get together in the future.

After eating and drinking, Liu Ying and the others stood up to say goodbye. Du Shaojie sent them to the gate and agreed to meet again before he left Xijiang.

the next day.

He visited the remaining Dapanji stores, talked with everyone, and decided to transfer these stores completely.

Under the same conditions, former employees of the [Dapanji] store have the right of first refusal, which has attracted many people's attention.

Finally, these stores were purchased by some employees who raised funds, and some people were willing to follow Du Shaojie.

Du Shaojie let them make their own choice. Those who are willing to stay in the local area can be arranged to work in [Xichuan Restaurant] when the opportunity arises.

Those who are willing to venture into the south will first settle in Guangzhou and all will be arranged to work in [barbecue restaurants].

After several diversions, there are only 8 people left in the barbecue restaurant, which is a good time to add some more staff.

After finishing this matter, Du Shaojie's only business in his hometown was the Xichuan Restaurant, which was no longer as prosperous as it once was.

In addition, the "snack shop" he developed is now on the decline. The "second branch" near Chunfeng Lane has been closed, and only the "first branch" is still struggling.

If nothing unexpected happens, the first branch may not survive until next year.

"Alas, what a pity."

On the weekend, Du Shaojie invited Qin Xiaomei and Chu Xiaowei to his home for dinner.

Qin Xiaomei sighed deeply. She is still working in a branch store, but she has no idea what will happen in the future. Fortunately, her husband has a stable job, otherwise the whole family would have to starve.

"Aunt Qin, if you don't want to work in the company anymore, you can go to work at my Xichuan Restaurant. I'll tell them later that you're always welcome to join us."

Du Shaojie is a sentimental person. Back when he was on the farm, Chu Xiaowei and Qin Xiaomei gave him a lot of help, and he remembers many things in his heart.

If Qin Xiaomei encountered difficulties, he would definitely help her.

"Shaojie is really nice!"

Chu Xiaowei raised his thumbs up, which was more effective than any words of thanks.

Du Shaojie was indeed very happy. He waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that these were all trivial matters and not worth mentioning.

He stayed at home for nearly half a month, and he cooked almost every day. The happiest person was Wang Yuxiu.

But she knew very well that her son had his own career and she couldn't hold him back.

"Xiao Jie, go and do your own thing. You don't have to stay at home all the time."

At Wang Yuxiu's urging, Du Shaojie left home and went to Beijing.

Because of time constraints before, he had no time to visit Qi Yan. This time, he went straight to the Normal University as soon as he got off the plane.

When Qi Yan saw Du Shaojie, a smile gradually bloomed on her face.

"Shaojie!"

If Qi Yan wasn't afraid of being seen, she would definitely throw herself into his arms.

Although the two often talked on the phone, it was difficult to relieve the pain of missing each other through the phone line.

Qi Yan feels that she is becoming more and more attached to him, but this guy not only wanders around all day, but also hasn't mentioned getting married and starting a family yet.

She vaguely guessed something, but didn't dare to delve into it, for fear that if she did, she would really scare Du Shaojie away.

"I came to see you right after I got off the plane. Isn't that nice? When can you leave? I'll wait for you to have dinner together."

Du Shaojie certainly didn't lie, after all, he was still holding a travel bag in his hand.

Qi Yan thought about it, asked Du Shaojie to wait for a while, and then she went to ask for leave from her boss. Anyway, she didn't have anything important to do in the afternoon, so asking for half a day wouldn't affect anything.

The leader approved her leave on the spot.

"Let's go. I've asked for half a day off. Let's go back and cook."

Qi Yan and Du Shaojie walked out of the school together. They happened to see an empty taxi and took it home.

After entering the door, who would care about buying groceries and cooking?
Eat your fill first and worry about other things first.

Night falls.

Du Shaojie took the radiant Qi Yan and went out to have a meal of [shabu-shabu mutton] together.

"Yanzi, if there is a suitable house for sale near your school, you can go and have a look. If you like it, buy it. Living in the dormitory is still a bit poor."

Du Shaojie has always wanted to buy a house for Qi Yan, but he can't stay in Beijing all the time, so he asked her to take her time to look around.

Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, then seeing that he was serious, she nodded.

There are not many good commercial housing estates for sale now, and the real real estate boom did not take shape until the late 1990s.

However, existing houses are still for sale, and occasionally there are newly built communities, but you just have to take your luck.

"Well, I'll check it out later. If I find a suitable house, I'll call you." (End of this chapter)
