Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 310 The Prototype of a Giant Catering Enterprise

When Meng Gang met Du Shaojie, he first reported to him on the company's operations in recent period, and then discussed the next development ideas.

"Mr. Du, the development of [Xichuan Restaurant] has temporarily encountered a bottleneck, mainly due to the talent problem. After all, excellent chefs cannot be created overnight, and it takes years to hone their skills.

I and everyone else think that we should increase the number of stores while the Seafood Restaurant is gaining momentum. After all, Manager Xiao and his team have accumulated a lot of experience over the years, and the talent pool is sufficient to handle the addition of one or two stores.”

Meng Gang suddenly mentioned the [Seafood Restaurant], which was a bit beyond Du Shaojie's expectations.

But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing surprising. The most important thing for business development is profit. Only with sufficient profit can the plan become a reality. Now that the [Seafood Restaurant] has just become popular, if he doesn't take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit, he will not be Meng Gang.

Why did Meng Gang pour most of his resources into Xichuan Restaurant? It was because he could make money.

Now the development of [Xichuan Restaurant] has encountered a bottleneck. It will be difficult to find talents like Liao Yongxin, Zhou Huai'en, Yan Dabao, Liu Ziwang, Yu Jianxin and Dong Jun in the short term. Blind expansion will only damage its own brand.

Therefore, Meng Gang and others changed their thinking quickly.

After [Seafood House] opened its second store in Shenzhen, its scale advantages began to emerge and its profitability increased significantly.

At this time, he naturally knew what to choose.

It seems that Xiao Jianjun's worries were unnecessary.

"Okay, I support your plan. By the way, Mr. Meng, I just bought a new storefront. Let's go take a look. If it's suitable, we can decide on a store in Yangcheng."

Du Shaojie had taken Xiao Jianjun to take a look before, and now he took Meng Gang to check out the store.

To be honest, the location of this small building of the hardware company is really good. It is backed by the Pearl River and has a main road in front, so transportation is very convenient.

There are also many seafood restaurants in this area, so the group advantage is obvious.

"Tsk tsk, President Du, you really have a good vision. All right, I'll discuss this with Manager Xiao and the others when I return from Beijing. I think the new store will be open soon."

Meng Gang will stay in the capital for three days at most and then return to Shenzhen.

Du Shaojie smiled and nodded. He didn't have to worry about the rest. For chain operations, the company had a set of effective plans that were not only fast but also cost-effective.

A week later.

[Seafood House] rented the storefront from Du Shaojie and, with his consent, began the renovation and decoration phase.

Currently, the catering management company has three sub-brands, namely [Xichuan Restaurant], [Seafood House] and [Northwest Noodle House].

From a management perspective, all Xichuan Restaurant stores are directly under the leadership of the company, with Meng Gang concurrently serving as the person in charge. Xiao Jianjun is the direct person in charge of the Seafood House, and Su Dapeng is the direct person in charge of the Northwest Noodle House.

Hotpot doesn’t count, so Du Shaojie can only be considered a shareholder.

The barbecue restaurant is not under the company's management, but is under his personal name.

At present, the structure of the catering management company has basically been finalized. What follows is a matter of in-depth development, and no new sub-brands will be added in the short term.

Du Shaojie, who doesn't like doing business, seems to have created the prototype of a giant catering enterprise.

"If you plant flowers with care, they may not bloom; but if you plant willows without care, they may grow into a shade."

Du Shaojie thought of Zhong Fuxiang and Hou San, and couldn't help feeling a little proud.

Hou San was not to be mentioned. He was once an enviable "ten thousand yuan household", but now he has to start a new business. And Zhong Fuxiang, although he has superb skills, can only make a living by running a hot pot restaurant.

This may be the difference caused by different concepts.

"Busy now?"

That morning, Du Shaojie came to Hou San's shop.

Hou San was making roast duck. When he saw the other person, he hurried over.

"Brother Jie, you haven't been here for a while."

"Your skills are already very advanced, so what am I doing here? Give me the information you have about the scammers, and I'll ask my friends to check it out for you to see if we can find some evidence.

If there is solid evidence that the scammer is suspected of fraud, you should report it immediately and the police will open a case for investigation. "

During this period of time when Du Shaojie was busy, he wanted to help Hou San.

Hou San was so grateful that he immediately handed him the information he had sorted out previously.

After getting the information, Du Shaojie went to find Jiao Hongtao and asked him to help check it out.

"Boss Du, don't worry. As long as that guy is suspected of committing a crime, I will find a way to dig him out."

Jiao Hongtao accepted the information without saying a word, but this matter could not be rushed, and he needed to slowly search for the whereabouts of the scammer.

Du Shaojie expressed his understanding and then took a bus directly to Shenzhen.

There was no way. He wanted to stay quietly in Guangzhou to hone his cooking skills, but the company had accumulated a lot of official business that needed him to handle personally.

Fortunately, he had the title of "management master" and finished processing these documents in less than a week. But the high-intensity work of eight hours a day also exhausted him.

At the same time, in order to triple his work efficiency, he also consumed 48 hours.

During this period, another 3 hours were spent in the simulation space, which adds up to 51 hours.

[Exchange points: 301918 points\615066 points] [Duration: 115 million hours\973.30 million hours]

Feeling free and at ease, Du Shaojie had someone make a pot of tea and brought it to him. He drank the tea happily and looked at the sunset outside the window.

Suddenly, the phone on the desk rang.

He was quite puzzled. He rarely stayed here, so who would call here?

"Hello, hello! I'm Du Shaojie."

"Ajie, this is Yu Mo. You're so hard to find. I made a lot of phone calls before I knew you were in Shenzhen. Are you free tonight? Let's go to your [Seafood Restaurant] for dinner. I have something to tell you."

"Okay then, are you at the factory? Yes, I'll pick you up now."

Du Shaojie had nothing to do, so after hanging up the phone, he left the company and took a bus to Dongsheng Electronics.

When the security guard at the gate saw his car, he immediately stood up and saluted, apparently remembering his license plate.

"Mo Mo, are you tired recently? How come you lost so much weight all of a sudden?"

When Du Shaojie saw Yu Mo, he almost didn't recognize him because the other person had lost a lot of weight. Fortunately, he seemed to be in good spirits.

"I've been a little tired lately, so it's a good time to lose weight. Ajie, Mr. He has officially proposed to increase his shareholding, and I may not be able to handle it. What do you think?"

He had originally planned to talk about this during dinner, but Du Shaojie showed up so soon that Yu Mo just said it out loud.

The two had expected this to happen, so they were definitely not surprised. But when it came to this, Yu Mo still felt a little uncomfortable.

"I have no objection. If he wants it, give it to him, but the price should not be too bad for us. In my opinion, it is enough for us to keep only 15% of the shares in the company, and sell the rest to Mr. He."

"Yeah, I think so too. However, I will take back the 'Dongsheng Electronics' brand. Anyway, the remaining shares are under the name of our investment company."

"Dongsheng Electronics" is Uncle Yu Mo's life's work, and she certainly won't leave it to others.

The withdrawal of the brand will have no impact on the factory. "Dongsheng Investment" is still a Hong Kong-funded enterprise, so the factory's joint venture status will not change.

Yu Mo had mentioned this to Mr. He before, and Mr. He agreed on the spot.

"Come on, I'll treat you to seafood, and we'll talk while we eat."

Seeing that it was getting late, Du Shaojie dragged Yu Mo to the Nanshan branch of [Seafood House], which was the earliest branch.

After the food and wine were served, the two men clinked their glasses and reached a consensus.

Yu Mo had already negotiated for a piece of industrial land, and as long as the funds were in place, construction could begin immediately. The company in Hong Kong was still urging her to sell her the equipment and the entire set of technology, showing great sincerity.

"The shares of the factory can be sold for about 2300 million yuan. The total investment in the new factory is about 4000 million yuan. We can find a way to get you a loan for the shortfall. This is also part of the investment conditions."

Yu Mo drank a few glasses of wine and started talking more.

She explained the accounts one by one to Du Shaojie. In a nutshell, the new factory must be built, but some funds were still needed for the subsequent construction.

"What about the technical staff? Even though they don't understand, they know the importance of talent."

When Du Shaojie heard that the funding gap was around 1700 million yuan, he felt more confident.

However, having money alone is not enough; you also need R&D personnel, engineers, skilled workers, etc. who understand technology.

"Don't worry about that. I contacted a company in the same business. Due to poor management, the company has actually stopped production. They want to form a joint venture with me, but I only want some of their employees."

Yu Mo had nothing to pretend in front of Du Shaojie, so he naturally told the truth.

This kind of method is very normal in the business world, and she doesn't think there is anything wrong with what she did.

Du Shaojie nodded and said no more.

The two drank a bottle of red wine and ended the dinner.

Du Shaojie asked Wang Yongli to drive Yu Mo back, and he went back upstairs to take a shower and go to bed.

the next day.

Du Shaojie called Liang Meiqin and they met at noon.

"Shaojie, you are fine now. You haven't come to see me for all these days. I am not very busy these days. You can stay over here tonight and we can have a good time together."

During the meal, Liang Meiqin expressed her dissatisfaction.

Du Shaojie smiled and did not refute, saying that he would stay at her place tonight.

At present, Cai Jing’s second project is progressing smoothly. As the progress of the construction project accelerates, it has also reached the peak period for house delivery.

Zhang Yong, Xiao Jianjun and others are about to move into their new home. They are currently renovating the house and will probably be able to move in soon.

"Misaki, have you ever thought about leaving Sister Cai's company? I don't mean anything else. You can follow along and train for a while, but it's unnecessary to be so tired all the time."

Du Shaojie found that Liang Meiqin had also lost some weight and felt a little distressed.

Liang Meiqin didn't care and said, "I still have a lot to learn. Only by following President Cai can I make progress. Shaojie, I don't want to leave for the time being. Don't be angry."
