Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 342 Opportunity to Solve the Problem

"What is a 'sunshine kitchen'?"

After listening to this, Pang Weidong was a little confused.

"This is a concept. It means that consumers or consumer representatives can see the excellent environment of our kitchen with their own eyes. Seeing is believing, and there are many ways to achieve this effect."

Du Shaojie explained that, for example, some restaurants use glass to separate the kitchen and the front hall, so that consumers can see the preparation process of the dishes.

For example, you can set up a "Consumer Day" and invite consumer representatives to observe the kitchen, etc.

The forms can be varied, but the purpose is only one, which is to gain the trust of consumers and establish a positive image of the company.

"I see! Ajie, you are such a genius. You have so many good ideas."

Pang Weidong’s main focus is “listening to advice”. He thinks what Du Shaojie says makes sense, so he will do what the other party says.

"By the way, Dongzi, is there any problem with the company's raw material procurement? We must pay attention to this aspect, especially the quality of the oil. I was almost cheated before."

Du Shaojie told the other party about the last time he "purchased" problematic oil. If Liao Yongxin had not been careful, he would have almost been in trouble.

Since then, the company's procurement system has been significantly strengthened, basically preventing the recurrence of that incident.

"There's no problem for now. I'll perfect the rules and regulations later, and there shouldn't be any mistakes."

Fortunately, Pang Weidong listened to Du Shaojie's advice from the beginning and attached great importance to food safety.

The company's top management paid attention to it, so the people below didn't dare to mess around. In addition, he also learned from Du Shaojie's company's inspection system, and did a good job in this regard.

"Then there shouldn't be any problem."

Du Shaojie put aside his worries. All he could do now was wait.

After dinner, there was still a lot of things to do in the company, so Pang Weidong left first.

Du Shaojie took Wang Yongli back home, and then called Yu Jianxin to have his car delivered.

"Boss Du, you didn't even tell me you were coming to Beijing so I could pick you up at the airport."

Yu Jianxin hurried over and brought Du Shaojie's car with him.

When he was not here, Yu Jianxin always arranged for people to maintain the car, so the condition of the car must be fine.

"Something happened suddenly, so I came here in a hurry."

Du Shaojie explained casually, and then told the other party in detail the crisis encountered by Shuweixiang Hotpot.

These are all lessons learned through blood, and we should learn from them.

"Boss Du, I heard that Boss Pang has offended someone. That person is Hu Xiaohua, and his background is comparable to Boss Pang's. What do you think? Will this happen?"

Yu Jianxin has been in Beijing for many years and has come into contact with many different people, so he is quite well-informed.

Pang Weidong and Hu Xiaohua were at odds with each other, and the news had spread in Beijing, and many people knew about it. But few people knew the exact reason for their falling out.

Anyway, Yu Jianxin doesn’t know.

Du Shaojie nodded slowly and changed the subject.

When he met Pang Weidong today, the other party did not mention this matter. He also said that he still did not know who was the mastermind behind it.

"Did Jianxin misunderstand, or did Dongzi not want to say it?"

Du Shaojie felt very puzzled. He and Pang Weidong were partners, and the other party should tell him the truth.

However, he didn't plan to ask Pang Weidong. He just wanted to see if the other party would tell him on his own initiative.

in the afternoon.

Du Shaojie called Qi Yan and told her that he had arrived in Beijing.

"So sudden? Well, let's go out for dinner tonight, can you come pick me up?"

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the school gate at six o'clock."

Du Shaojie and Qi Yan agreed on a time and place, then hung up the phone and took a nap.

night.

He and Qi Yan went out for a Western meal and then returned to Qi Yan's residence.

The two chatted until midnight before falling into a deep sleep.

Although he got up a little late the next morning, Qi Yan's residence was very close to the school, so he was not late.

"Shaojie, I'm going to work. You should get up and eat something later."

Qi Yan hurried out, and Du Shaojie lay down for half an hour before getting up.

Then he went to the parking lot to find his car, and then drove to Northwest Noodle House. He had a bowl of bone soup and a few meat buns for breakfast, which immediately restored his energy.

After dinner, he drove back home.

"Boss Du, Boss Pang called me twice just now and said he wanted to talk to you about something."

Wang Yongli stayed here last night and told Du Shaojie about this as soon as he saw him.

Du Shaojie nodded and called Pang Weidong back.

The two of them spoke quickly on the phone, and Du Shaojie asked Wang Yongli to drive him to Pang Weidong's company.

"Dongzi, what's the hurry?"

When Du Shaojie walked into Pang Weidong's office, he saw him walking around in circles.

"There's a problem with our Dazheng store again. This time it's still a rumor. The difference is that this time it says we used gutter oil."

Pang Weidong was very angry. When would this end?
"Dongzi, the first time can be said to be a coincidence, but the second time means someone is specifically targeting Shuweixiang Hotpot. Think about it, who has the motive to target us?"

Du Shaojie recalled what Yu Jianxin had said, and had to point out Pang Weidong. Now the situation is obviously wrong. Someone is targeting not only the Chang'an store, but chain stores across the country, and the brand [Shuweixiang Old Hot Pot].

The previous methods must be used, but what is more important is to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, otherwise this matter will never end.

"I'm not sure yet, so I didn't say anything yesterday. But now, I'm 80% sure that it was someone I know who was messing with me.

That person's name is Hu Xiaohua. We have been enemies since we were in school, and we have been fighting overtly and covertly even after we left school."

Pang Weidong knew he could no longer hide the truth, so he told the whole story.

He and Hu Xiaohua had a falling out because of a girl, but later on, no reason mattered anymore, as both of them were determined to bring down the other.

Hu Xiaohua took advantage of the reform and opening up policy to make his first fortune.

The other party is now also engaged in the catering business and owns several [shabu-shabu] restaurants in Beijing.

The two had their most recent conflict half a year ago, when they met at a party, made insults to each other, and said some outrageous things.

Later, Pang Weidong was busy conquering cities and forgot about this matter. Who would have thought that after so long, others would start to take action.

After hearing this, Du Shaojie was speechless.

No wonder Pang Weidong didn’t say it before, isn’t this too bloody?

"Dongzi, based on these things alone, we can't conclude that it was Hu Xiaohua who was behind this, right?"

Du Shaojie grasped a key point, that everything was just Pang Weidong's guess and there was no circumstantial evidence at all.

"Humph! It must be him. Give me two days, and the mastermind behind this will surface."

Pang Weidong spoke with certainty, so Du Shaojie stopped talking.

The next afternoon.

Pang Weidong finally figured out the inside story of the matter and found out that it was Hu Xiaohua who was behind it.

In fact, the two families have similar status, and their respective circles have many intersections. Many people know about Hu Xiaohua's little tricks.

Pang Weidong uncovered the truth of the matter after asking his friends in the circle.

"What are your plans?"

Du Shaojie glanced at Pang Weidong and couldn't help but frowning.

It is obvious that Pang Weidong and Hu Xiaohua are not pure businessmen, and businessmen will not do these inexplicable little tricks.

A true businessman will either kill his opponent with a slap or remain silent. No one would engage in such a thing just for the sake of fighting.

Perhaps only the second generation with extraordinary family background would do this.

"How can I let him off? He messed up my store, so I messed up his store. Who's afraid of who?"

Sure enough, Pang Weidong had the same thinking.

Du Shaojie rolled his eyes, then said patiently: "The point now is not revenge, but you have to talk to the other party."

"What are we talking about? I won't bow down to him."

Pang Weidong immediately got furious, not at all like his usual calm self.

"I'm not asking you to bow down to the other party, but you need to make it clear to the other party that if you continue like this, both sides will suffer losses at best, and it will not benefit anyone.

Dongzi, if you two really want to compete, you can do it in other ways. Don't use such childish means, it will make people laugh."

Du Shaojie felt that he still had an obligation to persuade Pang Weidong again. This was not the way to fight.

The most frightening thing about this kind of thing is not knowing who the mastermind is behind the scenes. Once you know it, the other party's tricks will no longer work.

Moreover, Pang Weidong must have a way to take over the other party’s store. Wouldn’t this be a lose-lose situation?
Pang Weidong didn't say anything for a long time, and Du Shaojie didn't urge him. He turned around and left the other's office.

To be honest, even if Pang Weidong obeyed and went to negotiate with Hu Xiaohua, it might not necessarily solve the problem.

Not everyone in this world can regain their senses, but calmness and rationality are the prerequisites for successful negotiations.

night.

He did not go to Qi Yan's place, but waited for news from Pang Weidong at home.

The news he received surprised him. Pang Weidong went to Hu Xiaohua to negotiate, and the two of them actually came to blows during the conversation.

Neither of them gained any advantage and the situation ended in an ugly mess.

Du Shaojie simply stopped trying to persuade him. As things had come to this point, he could only continue to fight with the other party.

The next few days.

Du Shaojie inspects his store during the day, buys groceries and cooks in the afternoon, and Qi Yan can eat delicious meals when she returns home from work.

After dinner, the two went for a walk outside together.

It's not that he no longer cares about the Shuweixiang Hotpot, but he is waiting for an opportunity.

There is a saying that goes, "If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet." Hu Xiaohua always resorts to this method of spreading rumors and slandering others. Sooner or later, he will be caught.

After Pang Weidong and Hu Xiaohua had a fight, he calmed down. He did not retaliate immediately, but took the initiative to lead people to inspect various places.

Du Shaojie stayed with Qi Yan for a while and then returned to Yangcheng.

That morning, he received a call from Luo Sankun, saying that someone was spreading rumors targeting the Yangcheng branch of Shuweixiang Hotpot.

"Finally caught you!"

Du Shaojie was not angry at all, but was overjoyed.

This is the opportunity he has been waiting for.
