Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Du Shaojie subconsciously wanted to refuse, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

Cai Jing's company's real estate business is developing smoothly. Logically, they should not be short of money now. Why would they need to increase capital and expand shares again?
He realized that he seemed to have overlooked something.

"Sister Cai, are you planning to transform the company into a joint-stock company?"

Domestic securities trading started after the 90s, but joint-stock companies appeared earlier.

Du Shaojie remembers that the Shenzhen Stock Exchange was established at the end of 1990, and among the earliest listed companies there were several real estate companies.

He had never thought about it in this direction before, but today he suddenly realized that Cai Jing had great ambitions.

"Yes, the city government talked to me a few days ago and hoped that I could support the pilot work of joint-stock enterprises. I didn't have any ambitions, so I agreed at the time."

Cai Jing smiled slightly. Some things should not be said too early.

Du Shaojie looked at the other person with a strange expression and thought, you are planning to carry out shareholding reform, and you still say that you have no ambition?

Of course, you can't say this out loud.

"Then I'll think about it. If I have the money, I'll participate in the additional issuance."

Du Shaojie didn't say anything definite, but he had already made up his mind to get involved.

As for whether to participate in the name of the company or in the name of an individual, we will decide when the time comes. It is more convenient to participate in the name of the company now, and it is more convenient to cash out in the future if you participate in the name of an individual.

"Okay, think about it. It's still early anyway, and this matter won't be resolved in a few months. Miqin, you have nothing to do this afternoon, so you can do whatever you want. We'll go back to Shencheng tomorrow morning."

After dinner, Cai Jing had some personal matters to attend to, so she said goodbye and left.

Liang Meiqin stayed to help clean up the mess, and then took Du Shaojie to Donghu New Village.

"Shaojie, will you invest in Mr. Cai's company again?"

Late at night, the two chatted about the issue of additional issuance.

Liang Meiqin has recently traveled to many places with Cai Jing and met many people, but the capital increase and share expansion has not been going smoothly.

Nowadays, housing commercialization is still in the pilot stage, and people's understanding of real estate development companies varies greatly. Therefore, it is not easy for Cai Jing to carry out shareholding reform.

"I will invest a little bit, I am optimistic about the development of the real estate industry."

Du Shaojie nodded, his attitude was very clear.

Liang Meiqin did not try to persuade them any further. She had already told the other party the truth about the difficulties the company was facing. The other party still decided to increase investment, so she had nothing more to say.

The next morning, Liang Meiqin rushed to meet up with Cai Jing.

Du Shaojie planned to go back and take a nap. He didn't sleep well last night and he was still yawning at this moment.

Before school starts.

Du Xiaoya sent her mother Wang Yuxiu to Yangcheng. She stayed in Yangcheng for two days and then hurried back to school.

Du Shaojie also had a lot of free time. He would go fishing with Wang Yongli from time to time, and then go to the fish restaurant to practice a few dishes. During this period of time, he had researched several ways to cook the dish "grilled fish".

Although the taste is different, it is equally delicious.

weekend.

Lin Zhiyuan and others gathered at the fish restaurant, and Du Shaojie specially showed off his cooking skills.

The whole fish banquet has developed to the third version, and the various grilled fish alone are mouth-watering.

"Boss Du, are you trying to come up with something special with fish and vegetables?"

Lin Zhiyuan is in high spirits when something good happens and he exclaims in praise of the food every time he takes a bite.

Jiang Dongyuan was very perceptive. He was the first to pick up the wine glass and said, "Director Lin has been promoted. President Du must show his true ability. Come on, let's toast to Director Lin. Good things come in pairs."

"Congratulations, Director Lin!"

Du Shaojie and others raised their glasses to congratulate Lin Zhiyuan.

Lin Zhiyuan also drank two glasses of wine, without any hesitation.

Then everyone slowed down the pace, eating, drinking and chatting, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Boss Du, come, let's have a drink. We can talk over the wine, so we won't say any more."

Some things are not easy to say at the dinner table, but Lin Zhiyuan is indeed very grateful to Du Shaojie.

There were many accidental reasons for this promotion, but it is undeniable that Tang Jun played a very important role in it.

Tang Jun was the one who was introduced to him by Du Shaojie. When drinking water, one should remember the person who dug the well. This is exactly what Lin Zhiyuan wanted to express.

"We are old friends, why are you talking so much? Let's drink!"

Du Shaojie clinked glasses with the other party and then drank it all in one gulp.

Although Ye Mingwei, Jiao Hongtao and others did not say anything, they roughly understood what was going on.

But even though they understand it, no one is stupid enough to ask it directly.

After dinner.

Everyone played cards as usual, and Lin Zhiyuan left early. A promotion was a good thing, but it also meant that he would have less and less free time. He didn't know if he could find time to attend a party like this.

The rest of the people played until the evening before leaving one after another. Before leaving, Jiang Dongyuan suggested that they gather here once every week and treat it as a vacation.

Ye Weiming was the last one to leave. Before getting in the car, he told Du Shaojie: "The hardware company is preparing for a comprehensive restructuring. Although the company is no longer viable, it used to own a number of high-value storefronts in the city's bustling areas."

Although he has been transferred from the city hardware company, many things cannot be hidden from him.

Ye Weiming knew that Du Shaojie liked real estate, especially storefronts, so he specifically told him about it.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye."

Du Shaojie smiled and nodded, then watched the other party get into the car and leave.

He has no interest in participating in the pilot program of enterprise restructuring, mainly because it is too troublesome and may cause trouble if one is not careful.

For example, issues like the resettlement of existing employees and asset valuation are very troublesome.

Although the hardware company's storefront was tempting, he still suppressed his greed. Unless it was for sale, he would not step into the mud pit.

"Boss Du, the guests have all left, you can go in and take a rest. I think I have made some tea, so a few cups will help you sober up."

Du Shaojie stood there for a long time until Wu Dazhu called him and he came to his senses.

"Okay, let's go have a cup of tea then."

Du Shaojie followed Wu Dazhui to another private room. The proprietress not only made tea, but also placed a fruit plate and some snacks on the table.

"Boss Du, if you're not in a hurry to leave, we want to discuss something with you."

After the three of them sat down, Wu Dazhui got down to business with a smile.

"No hurry, take your time."

Du Shaojie was a little puzzled. He came here often, so what could have happened that made the boss couple so cautious?

"It's like this. I plan to renovate the fish farm. While maintaining the characteristics of a farmhouse, I will try to upgrade the facilities to a high level. My funds are limited, so I want to find a partner. I wonder if Mr. Du is interested?"

Wu Dazhu finished speaking quickly and then looked at Du Shaojie eagerly.

"Old Wu, I think the fish restaurant should be very profitable now, why are you in such a hurry to upgrade? Besides, if you find a partner, won't you have to share a part of the profit? Are you really willing to do that?"

After Du Shaojie thought about it for a while, he felt that there was something wrong.

Seeing that Wu Dazhu was beating around the bush, he simply brought the issue to the fore. After all, he had no shortage of stores with good business, and he didn't care that much about whether to invest in the fish restaurant.

But you have to make your words clear.

"Hey, Mr. Du, it's because the business is so good that I want to find a partner. We are both from the countryside, and we just happened to get this piece of land and open this fish restaurant.

In the past, when business was bad, no one was interested. But now that business is good, many people are starting to think about opening the fish restaurant. We really can’t handle it, so we thought about finding someone with ability to work with us.”

Wu Dazhu spoke the truth and recounted a series of events that he had encountered recently.

As the saying goes, money can make people move their hearts. The couple had no background and faced with some greedy guys, they were so worried that they couldn't sleep.

"Oh? Are you two so sure that I can hold off those hungry wolves?"

Du Shaojie was very satisfied with Wu Dazhu's attitude. Regardless of whether the matter succeeded or not, the relationship between the two parties would not change.

"Boss Du, I'm not blind. I can tell what kind of people you hang out with all day. We don't know any big shots here, so we have to ask you for help now that we've run into a problem. Don't be offended!"

Wu Dazhui smiled helplessly. If he could have resisted it, he would not have come up with such an idea.

The couple had been dealing with Du Shaojie for a long time. It could be said that without the skills he taught them, they would not have their current good business. Therefore, they could not trust others, but they could trust Du Shaojie.

Seeing that the other party was sincere, Du Shaojie thought about it in his mind.

To renovate the fish farm, including adding facilities and equipment, would require an investment of at least 10 yuan. Of course, this amount of money was nothing to him, the key was how much of the shares he should take?

"Old Wu, what rules do you two have?"

"We plan to give you 6% of the shares and we will take 4%. Is that okay with you?"

Wu Dazhu and his wife discussed for a long time these two days, and finally came to the conclusion that only by cooperating with Du Shaojie can they make money safely. If it were someone else, they would probably be left with nothing.

Now the couple wants to rely on Du Shaojie, so of course they have to give up the lion’s share.

It’s true that although the couple’s education level is not high, they are very clear-headed, better than many people.

"That's not the case. I don't have time to manage this place. I still have to rely on you two for business matters. So, I'll have someone assess the value of the fish restaurant, plus the cost of the renovation. I'll pay part of the money, so the shares will be 4%."

Du Shaojie can transfer one or two chefs over, and he will not interfere in business matters.

This model is the same as the cooperation model between him and Pang Weidong. He does not participate in business management, he just needs to grasp the key points.

Wu Dazhui and his wife were naturally very grateful, and just a few days later, the two parties signed the agreement.

Du Shaojie invested some money, and Wu Dazhu and his wife also contributed some money, and the fish restaurant immediately began to upgrade and renovate. It will not affect the business for the time being. The renovation project will be carried out in two phases to ensure that customers can dine normally.

Then, he spread the news that he had invested in the fish restaurant. (End of this chapter)
