Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

"It seems that I was too low-key before. Now that Leader Feng has come to Guangdong Province, I should take this opportunity to vigorously develop. There is no need to use a big banner to cover up the tiger's skin, just help me withstand those open and secret attacks."

Du Shaojie then thought a lot and fell into a deep sleep very late.

after a few days.

Du Shaojie and Wang Yongli went to Shenzhen. He rarely convened a high-level meeting in the company to redefine the company's development plan.

"I don't have too many requirements, just one, to scale up as soon as possible."

He set the tone and decided to accelerate the pace of expansion in the coming year.

Whether it is [Xichuan Restaurant], [Northwest Noodle House] or [Seafood House], they all need to increase the number of stores. As for the problem of talent, he will solve it.

After deciding this matter, Meng Gang talked about the recent reorganization plan.

The purpose of the rectification can be summarized in one sentence: everything is for compliance.

This "foreign cigarettes" incident caused considerable losses to the company. The reason why the two buyers fell into someone else's trap was because the matter itself was not in compliance with regulations, right?
Du Shaojie expressed his support, saying that if an enterprise wants to develop in the long run, it must give up some non-compliant small profits.

Only after the meeting did he go to his office to deal with the backlog of official business.

A week later.

Du Shaojie returned to Yangcheng, and then the company issued a notice to select potential chefs from each store for centralized training.

The training location was in Yangcheng. For this purpose, he rented the staff canteen of the former hardware company and transferred two lecturers from Yi Chunmei to help.

A few days passed quickly.

The catering management company’s internal training has officially started, with the first group to be trained being Sichuan cuisine chefs.

Du Shaojie personally teaches the class for two hours every day, including theoretical and practical guidance. He even spends a lot of money and earns the title of "Gold Medal Lecturer" every time he gives a class.

The effect is that learning efficiency can be increased by 5 times, but the cost is that he needs to spend 10 hours every day.

But this price is definitely worth it. Most of these 30 people are young chefs, and they are all old employees who can stand the test in all aspects.

In the future, they will become the backbone of the company.

Today, catering management companies already have a complete talent training mechanism.

In Chengdu, Yi Chunmei's chef school is responsible for the training and recruitment of junior and intermediate talents. Then the selected students can work in the company's stores and continue to learn and improve at work.

In Shenzhen, the company is responsible for the training and recruitment of store managers, and the shortage of management personnel has long been improved.

The training organized by Du Shaojie now belongs to the promotion class, and these people are trained to be the third chef, second chef or even the future head chef.

After 20 days, this round of intensive training ended. Unlike usual practice, there was a strict assessment after the training, and 8 employees stood out from the group.

Among them, the one who ranked first was Lu Hongsheng, an employee of the Magic City store. He is also half-apprentice of Zhou Huai'en and is currently the second chef in the store.

Du Shaojie felt very pleased. A few days later, he suggested to Meng Gang that Lu Hongsheng be promoted to the head chef of the Shanghai branch of Xichuan Restaurant, and then let Zhou Huai'en return to Guangzhou.

The other trainees will stay in the Yangcheng branch of Xichuan Restaurant for practical learning, where Liao Yongxin and Zhou Huai'en will continue to hone their cooking skills and will soon put them in more important positions.

Du Shaojie has been working very hard these days, spending a total of 200 million hours.

But all the employees who have received training have made great progress, and the intangible value they have brought is immeasurable.

[Exchange points: 367918 points\941066 points]

【Duration: 201 million hours\1605.30 million hours】

Meng Gang led all members of the company and also worked overtime.

For nearly a month, the relevant team investigated the market in Yangcheng and its surrounding cities, and decided to add 2 new [Xichuan Restaurant] stores in Yangcheng, and 1 new [Xichuan Restaurant] store each in Shenzhen, Xingcheng, Jiangcheng, Hangzhou and Jinling.

At the same time, 7 new stores were added, which is unprecedented in the development history of [Xichuan Restaurant].

There was no problem with the funds. Among the sub-brands under the company, the most profitable one was [Xichuan Restaurant]. Moreover, as the boss, Du Shaojie had never withdrawn funds, so the company had sufficient funds.

Now, from market research to storefront leasing, to decoration, staff recruitment, pre-job training, etc., Du Shaojie does not need to do it himself. This is the scope of the catering management company's authority, so naturally Meng Gang and others will worry about it.

Time flies.

New stores are opened one after another, and young and middle-aged chefs who stand out have come to the fore, injecting strong vitality into the second-generation development of the company.

"Master Zhou, you have been in charge of the Magic City for such a long time. I want to toast you."

Du Shaojie took time out to cook a table of dishes himself and invited Zhou Huai'en, Liao Yongxin, Chu Linlin and others to his home for dinner.

The protagonist today is Zhou Huai'en, and the others are just guests.

"Why is it hard? Not at all. To be honest, I'm actually quite lucky to have met Lu Hongsheng in the Magic City. That guy is really smart. He has basically learned all my skills."

Although Zhou Huai'en did not go to the Magic City voluntarily, he now feels very fortunate. After he retired, he also thought about taking in disciples, but this matter depends on fate, and he would rather not take in a disciple if he can't find the right one. But in the Magic City, he met Lu Hongsheng, who had a high level of understanding and got along well with him.

Although Zhou Huai'en did not formally accept a disciple, the master-disciple relationship between the two had been established long ago.

Just like the relationship between Liao Yongxin and Du Shaojie.

"Haha, Master Zhou seems to be very satisfied with his apprentice. By the way, Master Zhou, Mr. Meng and I have already discussed it. You will be the executive chef of [Xichuan Restaurant] in the future, responsible for the assessment of chefs in each store."

Du Shaojie and Zhou Huai'en clinked glasses and then announced a piece of news.

After Zhou Huai'en left the Magic City store, it was impossible for him to continue to be called a "consultant" like a panacea, right? In view of the old man's superb cooking skills and black face and vicious mouth, he was simply given the job of assessing the chef.

"Okay, okay, the boss is really considerate."

Zhou Huai'en was overjoyed, then stared at Liao Yongxin with a smile for a while, feeling very proud.

Liao Yongxin immediately became unhappy and looked at Du Shaojie with resentment. He thought that his disciple was considerate to others but not to his master.

Du Shaojie knew that these two old men loved to compete and bicker with each other, but they actually had a very good relationship.

"Master, I plan to let you be responsible for the training of the entire [Xichuan Restaurant]. President Meng plans to set up a training center for the company in Yangcheng in the future, and you will also be in charge of the training center."

Du Shaojie sympathized with Zhou Huai'en and Liao Yongxin and didn't want them to continue working in the kitchen.

The job of a chef is not only a technical job, but also a physical job. The two of them are not young anymore, and the young and middle-aged chefs under them are gradually growing up, so he made such an arrangement.

"You finally understand the goodness of the master? Don't worry, leave the training to me, I can't go wrong!"

Liao Yongxin was now in high spirits, and immediately raised his eyebrows at Zhou Huai'en, meaning, what are you so proud of? My new position is no worse than Bi's!

"Okay, let's continue drinking."

After eating and drinking, Liao Yongxin and Zhou Huai'en supported each other and walked out of the yard.

Wang Yongxin drove them back home. Chu Linlin helped to clean up the mess and then said, "Boss, someone has been trying to poach our chefs, but the identity of the other party is not clear yet."

"It's not that easy to poach people from my place! Linlin, you should be more careful recently. I want to see where this bastard comes from."

When Du Shaojie heard this, his eyes narrowed unconsciously.

People who are familiar with him know that whenever he makes this move, it is a sign of a rampage.

I've been having a lot of troubles recently. I've just dealt with Qi Chenggang's retaliation and had a few days of free time, but now I'm probably being targeted by my competitors again.

They are not competitors and it is impossible for them to poach people from him. The reason why he is angry is that these chefs are the company's valuable assets and are related to the company's future development.

After Chu Linlin left, Du Shaojie called Meng Gang.

But I didn't find the person. The other party was very busy during this period and was often on business trips.

the next day.

He then contacted Meng Gang and asked the managers and chefs of each store to manage their people well and not give people with ulterior motives any opportunity to take advantage.

In fact, whether it is [Xichuan Restaurant], [Seafood House] or [Northwest Noodle House], the salary and benefits of employees are very good. At present, it is definitely a high income.

With this premise, employees are willing to sign long-term employment agreements, confidentiality agreements, etc. with the company.

However, the current laws and regulations are still imperfect, so it is difficult to say how useful these contract agreements are.

A few days passed quickly.

Many employees have reported that a new Sichuan restaurant in Yangcheng is trying to poach people from Xichuan Restaurant.

"Boss Du, I have found out about this matter. Guess what? The manager of that restaurant is Zhang Yufa's wife. They have learned their lesson this time. The other party's store is 5 kilometers away from our nearest store.

Well, there is one more thing. I heard that the restaurant has a strong background, but I can’t find out who is behind them.”

Chu Linlin was indeed well-informed and she quickly found the person who poached her employees.

"I didn't expect to be confronted with Zhang Yufa again. Fortunately, that guy can't come out in the past two years, otherwise things will become more troublesome. Linlin, I know about this matter, don't say anything behind your back."

"Ok."

Du Shaojie felt that he might have an inauspicious relationship with someone with the surname Zhang. Even if that guy was locked up and never came out, he could still cause trouble for him.

However, it is difficult to prevent poaching, so he can only defend passively.

Facts have proved that it was a bad move for the other party to bring out Zhang Yufa's wife to show off.

After all, Zhang Yufa had a very bad reputation within [Xichuan Restaurant], and after the initial period of time, no one paid any attention to him anymore.

The other party's plan to recruit people failed, and they didn't even recruit one person. (End of this chapter)
