Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Yu Mo can drink a lot and talks more than usual.

Du Shaojie listened with a smile, trying hard to make himself a qualified listener.

Du Shaojie was not very interested in the company's affairs and the things in the factory, but he had to pretend to be very interested, otherwise Yu Mo would definitely be very sad.

This is actually a kind of respect, respect for other people's labor and respect for other people's contributions.

"Currently, the company has achieved profitability, with revenue of 1058 million yuan and net profit of 107 million yuan last month."

Finally, it was the part that Du Shaojie was interested in. Yu Mo talked about the company's operating conditions.

Production and sales are good, but the profit is a bit low?
Du Shaojie felt that one should not jump to conclusions based on just one month's data, so he planned to go to Dongsheng Electronics to check the account books and financial statements.

In fact, Yu Mo asked his subordinates to send business briefings to Du Shaojie every month, but he would sometimes read them and sometimes not because he was out of town or other reasons.

"That's great! I think our investment will pay off soon. Mo Mo, you're amazing!"

Du Shaojie's words were sincere. He would naturally do such a simple calculation. It seemed that this project had been a success.

Yu Mo smiled and shook her head. She felt both happy and helpless about such shareholders.

The happy thing is that Du Shaojie trusts her very much, never causes trouble for her and the company, and of course does not interfere with the company's decision-making. What is speechless is that the other party has invested so much money, but he doesn't worry at all.

"By the way, Ajie, you can pay back the first loan next month."

After talking about company matters, the two started talking about Wang Liwen.

Du Shaojie had a phone call with Wang Liwen some time ago. The other party said that she had applied for a part-time doctoral degree and would be working and studying for a doctorate in the future, so she would probably be very busy.

"Liwen didn't even tell me? I'll go back to Hong Kong this weekend and settle the score with her. To be honest, I really admire her for still having the energy to study."

Yu Mo didn't know about this, probably because she was so busy developing the company that she didn't pay any attention to what was happening outside.

Now she thought about it, it seemed like she hadn't contacted Wang Liwen for several months?

Du Shaojie also admires Wang Liwen, who is a person who is willing to spend her whole life pursuing her ideals.

After dinner, Yu Mo said goodbye and left.

Du Shaojie rested for a night, and drove back to Guangzhou with Wang Yongli early the next morning.

Before going to bed yesterday, he received a call from Pang Weidong, who said he was coming to Yangcheng to do some business.

The reason why he rushed back in such a hurry was to pick up Pang Weidong.

in the afternoon.

Du Shaojie met Pang Weidong and his group at Baiyun Airport.

The other party brought a team this time, with a total of 7 people.

"I came here this time to investigate the Guangzhou market. The first store of [Shuweixiang Hotpot] in the south will most likely be opened in Guangzhou. Ajie, I need your professional advice. Please accompany me for a walk recently."

Pang Weidong was still as aggressive as ever. After stabilizing the base in the north, he decided to move south in a big way.

On this point, Du Shaojie felt inferior.

He is a conservative person and likes to invest in real estate, such as storefronts. He would never rent if he can buy. He hopes to have more storefronts under his name. The development may be slow in the early stage, but it will show huge advantages in the later stage.

"Okay, I'll get a car for the team to use."

Du Shaojie is still very supportive of Pang Weidong's plan. People are different, and there is no need for him to impose his ideas on others.

night.

He set up a table at the Seafood Restaurant to welcome Pang Weidong and others.

Considering the reception affairs in the future, Du Shaojie simply asked someone to buy a Toyota van for reception and other work. When the [training center] is built in the future, this van will be used there.

The rest of the team started conducting market research from the next day.

Du Shaojie accompanied Pang Weidong to travel around Guangzhou, tasting different foods and experiencing different customs and cultures.

"Ajie, your two cars have been registered for you. It will be much more convenient for you to go there in the future."

"Thank you, Dongzi."

"What's the use of saying thank you to one of our own people? By the way, can you still get the kind of car that is seized by customs? Actually, a smuggled truck will also work, but I'm afraid it will be seized before it reaches the capital."

Wang Yongli was driving, while Du Shaojie and Pang Weidong were sitting in the back seat chatting.

Pang Weidong suddenly said that he was very interested in the seized cars and wanted to buy a few cars to take back.

"It's not a big deal. I'll ask for you."

Although cars are not seized every day, there are quite a few of them.

As long as Du Shaojie tells Huang Yong, he will definitely be able to buy it within a month or two.

In fact, he now had a better and better impression of Pang Weidong. According to his background, he could make a lot of money by getting a permit to trade in the planned materials, or even trade in water trucks.

But Pang Weidong is willing to work hard to run a restaurant chain. It cannot be said that he is an anomaly.

"Eh? Where are you taking me? We're already in the suburbs, right?"

As the two were talking, Pang Weidong didn't notice what was happening outside the car window at first. When he looked up, he saw that they were not leaving the city.

"This is not the suburbs, it's at most the edge of the city. I'll take you to a fish restaurant. I know the owner very well. We'll have farm-style food for lunch."

Du Shaojie remembered that Pang Weidong once invited him to eat farm food, and it seemed that the other party liked this style very much.

Pang Weidong really likes to go to places like farms to play, but today he doesn’t have a female companion, which is a little bit of a pity.

Du Shaojie couldn't help him with this kind of thing. To be honest, when it came to picking up girls, Du Shaojie couldn't catch up with others even if he flattered them.

noon.

Du Shaojie and Pang Weidong had a meal at the fish restaurant. Pang Weidong praised the dishes highly, especially the spicy fish and grilled fish.

Two days later, Du Shaojie took him to a barbecue restaurant to eat barbecue, which completely conquered Pang Weidong's taste buds. This guy doesn't like to pursue exquisite food, but likes the feeling of exploding taste buds.

"Ajie, with the quality of your [barbecue restaurant], it would be a big hit in Beijing!"

Pang Weidong was very emotional. He worked very hard to create a hotpot brand, but other chefs can become popular by opening a small shop.

It’s really unreasonable.

After eating barbecue, Du Shaojie sent Pang Weidong back to the hotel.

As time went by, Pang Weidong and his team decided to open three stores in Yangcheng at the same time based on the investigation results. They had already selected the storefronts. With this efficiency, not only Du Shaojie but even Meng Gang would have to kneel down.

Too radical.

Pang Weidong didn't care about all this. He asked Du Shaojie to help recruit personnel, and he started to contact banks in Yangcheng through his connections.

In Yangcheng, he registered a branch and planned to apply for a bank loan in the name of the branch.

After a few days of contact, the situation was not ideal. After all, his connections were all in Beijing, and he had to rely on others to radiate his energy, which was far away after all.

Pang Weidong had no choice but to ask Du Shaojie for help, hoping that Du Shaojie could introduce him to some useful people.

Du Shaojie did not refuse and said, "Dongzi, I can help you introduce the relationship, but I will not provide you with a guarantee for the loan. I hope you can understand."

"I understand, I understand. You just need to introduce the connection. Whether the loan can be obtained is my business."

Pang Weidong was quite confident and said that he didn't need Du Shaojie to guarantee him.

Du Shaojie nodded and said nothing more.

The next night.

He made an appointment with Jiang Dongyuan to have dinner at Xichuan Restaurant, and also invited Pang Weidong to come along.

At the dinner table, Du Shaojie introduced the two to each other, and Pang Weidong, with his eloquence, quickly started chatting with the other party. When they were almost done eating and drinking, Pang Weidong mentioned the loan.

Jiang Dongyuan did not express his opinion immediately, but glanced at Du Shaojie.

Du Shaojie touched his nose and said nothing.

"President Jiang, what do you think he is doing? To tell you the truth, he is the second largest shareholder and one of the founders of our company. I won't lie to you."

Pang Weidong saw all the little movements of the two people and couldn't help laughing out loud.

He is just like that. He won't be cautious even when asking someone to do something for him.

Jiang Dongyuan looked at Du Shaojie again, with a little doubt in his eyes. He asked, "Boss Du, you hid it very well. I thought it was just one company, but I didn't expect you had shares in Boss Pang's company."

"President Jiang, look at what you said. How can I hide my true self? Although I am the second largest shareholder of the company, I hardly care about anything and I don't even participate in the business decision-making."

Du Shaojie smiled and told the truth.

Jiang Dongyuan thought about it for a while and said, "Boss Pang, there shouldn't be any problem with this. Just go through the normal procedures first, and I'll ask about it later. As long as there's not too much risk, it'll be fine."

The other party's reply was beyond Pang Weidong's expectations. He thought that things would go so smoothly after some twists and turns.

It seems that Du Shaojie has deep roots in Guangdong Province.

After dinner, Du Shaojie asked Wang Yongli to send Pang Weidong back to the hotel, and he sat in the private room for a while.

He was wondering what Jiang Dongyuan meant.
As a result, Jiang Dongyuan, who had clearly left, returned to the private room.

"Boss Du, I'm not doing this entirely for your sake. Boss Pang's project should be good. To be honest, if you were the majority shareholder of his company, I wouldn't give him this loan. But I have confidence in you, do you understand?"

Jiang Dongyuan came back just to explain to Du Shaojie.

Du Shaojie is a guarantee of profitability in the catering industry. With his participation, there will be no loss of money.

After hearing what the other party said, Du Shaojie didn't know what to say. On the one hand, he was very grateful for Jiang Dongyuan's trust in him, but on the other hand, he felt a little guilty, after all, he was a little worried that Pang Weidong's capital chain would be broken.

But I can't say that, and I don't need him to guarantee it anyway.

Things went extremely smoothly afterwards. Pang Weidong got the loan, and the renovation work of the three stores in Yangcheng was nearing completion.

This guy, despite having insufficient funds, dared to trick the decoration company into paying for the construction, without any consideration of what to do if they couldn't come up with the money.

Du Shaojie and Yi Chunmei worked together to transfer enough kitchen staff from Chengdu.

He once again selected three reliable employees from his staff and taught them the recipes and methods of making the hot pot base and dipping sauce. (End of this chapter)
