Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

"What opinion can I have? Just do whatever you want."

Pang Weidong didn't care about this little thing at all and hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

He brought two girls back last night and slept very late. He hasn't gotten up yet and just turned over and went back to sleep.

Du Shaojie has long been accustomed to Pang Weidong's behavior. When this guy works hard, he really works hard, but when he has free time and lets loose, he is a real playboy.

He then had breakfast and asked Zou Xiaohe to take him to the association.

The affairs of the association cannot be taken lightly. The president has already torn his face with him, and both sides have no way out. Either the east wind will prevail over the west wind, or the west wind will prevail over the east wind.

He arrived at the office and Luo Sanlun followed him in.

"Boss Du, this is the list of people who will be participating in the collective purchase. Everyone who went to dinner yesterday signed the agreement. Who do you think should be in charge of this matter next?"

Luo Sankun was still talking about what happened yesterday. It is inevitable that a single restaurant will suffer losses when purchasing goods, but if they are tied together, their bargaining power can be greatly increased.

It's a tough job, but if done well, one can make some money.

"Please handle this matter as you wish. I believe in your ability."

Du Shaojie smiled and waved his hand, handing the matter over to Luo Sankun.

Luo Sankun was naturally very happy. He talked about a few trivial things and then got up and left.

Du Shaojie sat in the office for a while, dealing with some trivial matters, and then Wang Yongli walked in carrying a suitcase.

"Is the money ready?"

"Yes, everything is ready."

"Okay, come with me."

Du Shaojie then took Wang Yongli to the finance office and donated 20 yuan in the name of Shuweixiang Hotpot.

This money goes directly into the association's public account and can be used for various activities. According to the unwritten rules, Du Shaojie has the right to control the money he brings in.

After all, he is the vice president.

Then Du Shaojie sent someone to inform the president that a meeting would be held in the conference room. As for the number of executive directors, they only needed to go through a formality to be determined.

As a result, the president said that he was not feeling well and needed to go to the hospital for treatment, so he asked Du Shaojie to convene a meeting.

"The president is embarrassed, so it's better for him not to go."

Du Shaojie didn't care about him. This was all agreed upon before. Now that the donation has been paid, of course he has to get the benefits as soon as possible.

The subsequent meeting was uneventful, and the newly added standing director seat was given to Liao Yongxin.

At this point, Du Shaojie's voice in the Municipal Association has greatly increased, and the president will have to think twice before doing anything else.

night.

When Du Shaojie returned home, Wang Yuxiu had already prepared dinner.

"Xiao Jie, let's have soup and rice today. I also bought some beef pies in case you're not full."

As the two were talking, Xiaomei brought three large bowls of soup and rice from the kitchen and placed them on the dining table.

The beef pie was then served, along with some pickles.

"This is delicious. I was planning to make some soup and rice someday. Xiaomei, why did you come back so early today? Are you not busy?"

The family of three then sat down to eat. Du Shaojie noticed that Xiaomei came back earlier than usual today, so he asked with a smile.

"I'm not a machine, you have to give me a break, right? Bro, I'm going to go out for a while and will be back later."

Xiaomei finished her meal quickly, pushed the bowl and chopsticks aside, and ran into the house.

After a long time, the other party came out. She not only changed into beautiful clothes, but also put on some light makeup.

Xiaomei left in a hurry. Wang Yuxiu and Du Shaojie looked at each other and both felt that something was wrong with Xiaomei.

"Maybe he went on a date."

Du Shaojie said this with a smile, and then helped his mother clean up the mess.

Although Wang Yuxiu didn't say anything, the smile on her lips betrayed her mood. She definitely hoped that her daughter would get married soon.

Xiaomei didn't come back until after eleven o'clock and said she had gone to see a movie with her friends.

Du Shaojie didn't ask any more questions. His elder sister was already an adult and was also a branch manager, so she should handle her own affairs well.

In the following days, he stayed in the association for a few more days, and waited until Luo Sankun's affairs were settled before he continued to be a hands-off manager. Luo Sankun and others were responsible for the daily work, so it didn't matter whether he was there or not.

"Yongli, ask Xiao Zou to prepare the car, and let's go to the port."

After resting for a few days, Du Shaojie's ideas gradually matured.

That morning, he took Wang Yongli and others to the cold storage area of ​​the port to learn about the sales of frozen foods.

Several cold storages are doing good business, but he feels that the facilities are a bit old and the types of products they sell are of lower quality.

Du Shaojie then went to find the person in charge of the storage area, who was introduced by Huang Yong and was very respectful.

"The cold storage in the port area has been in use for almost ten years. It was originally used by the provincial import and export company. It was sold to a foreign businessman a few years ago and then rented out in parts." "I think the cold storage is a little insufficient now. Is there anyone thinking of investing in this project?"

"The construction of a cold storage requires a large investment and the effect is slow. I also want to introduce investment, but the deal has never been concluded. Mr. Du, do you have this intention? Don't worry, Director Tang and I are good friends, and I will definitely give you the best discount."

The person in charge of the reservoir area noticed Du Shaojie's willingness to invest and was overjoyed.

The storage area relies on the port and has developed well, but the investment in cold storage is huge and the work of attracting investment is not going smoothly, so it seems a bit lagging behind.

Since someone has come to us, the person in charge will definitely try his best to make this happen.

"There is definitely an intention, but it still needs to be investigated in detail."

Du Shaojie chatted with the other party for an hour and then got up to say goodbye.

He returned home and called Liang Meiqin, asking her to send someone over to negotiate.

This was a big project and Liang Meiqin took it very seriously. She then sent Winnie and two other people straight to Yangcheng.

Du Shaojie did not personally participate in the negotiations, but he has been paying attention to the matter. Winnie would call him to report on the progress every day, and finally he won a number of preferential policies.

On the day of signing the contract, Du Shaojie came forward again and signed his name on the contract.

[Xiangjiang Dingxin International Investment Co., Ltd.] will invest HK$2800 million in the storage area to build a modern large-scale cold storage. The storage area provides preferential policies and support in all aspects, and Du Shaojie is very satisfied.

Liang Meiqin contacted the equipment supplier in Hong Kong, and the infrastructure construction of the cold storage started soon.

The management of the cold storage was handed over to Meng Gang, who transferred several key personnel from the company and re-recruited some personnel to maintain the normal operation of the cold storage in the future.

Du Shaojie plans to rent out part of the cold storage after it is built and operate the other part himself.

The self-operated part will be managed by the newly formed team, who will establish a stable supply chain during the construction period. In addition to meeting the catering company's own needs, sales will also focus on supplying member units united around Du Shaojie.

This is a permanent solution that can play an important role in reducing costs and stabilizing supply for catering companies.

Liang Meiqin transferred 2800 million Hong Kong dollars to Xiaomei's branch, and Dingxin International opened a special account here for investment in the cold storage project.

After this expenditure, the company's (Hong Kong dollar) account balance still had HK$2500 million.

"Boss Du, you are really generous! The cold storage is very profitable now. Even without members like us, the business is still good. To be honest, it's all thanks to you."

After this matter was settled, Winnie and others returned to Hong Kong.

For the cold storage, a new company was jointly established by [Xiangjiang Dingxin International Investment Co., Ltd.] and [Shencheng Bailian Catering Management Co., Ltd.], and the operating entity of the cold storage will be this newly established company in the future.

Du Shaojie did not hide it and told Luo Sankun and others the news.

Luo Sankun and others were naturally very happy. Although they could bargain with suppliers as a group, they would feel more at ease knowing that the supply chain was in their own hands.

"It can't be said to be taking advantage of others. It can only be said to be mutually beneficial."

Du Shaojie actually had selfish motives in this matter. Once the cold storage was built, he and most of the people in the association would be tied together.

In this world, only the bond of interests is the strongest. Strictly speaking, he is the biggest beneficiary.

After finishing this matter, Du Shaojie fell silent.

For the next period of time, he stayed at home most of the time, reading books, cooking, and living a leisurely life.

He still maintains the habit of practicing in simulated scenarios every day, but his cooking skills have reached this level, and it is difficult to improve through a lot of practical operations. What is needed more is understanding.

Therefore, he also devoted a large part of his energy to the research of "innovative dishes".

Sometimes Feng Qingsong would ask Tang Jun to invite Du Shaojie, and he would be happy to cook a few of his specialties for him. To be honest, Lin Zhiyuan treated him like this, and at most he would cook one or two dishes himself when they gathered at the fish restaurant.

That evening, Du Shaojie and his family of three sat together to have dinner as usual.

Wang Yongli suddenly shouted in the yard: "Boss Du, a guest is here."

When Du Shaojie walked out, he saw Qi Yan walking in with a smile on her face, carrying a travel bag in her hand.

"Yanzi? When did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me in advance so I could pick you up."

"I'm here on a business trip, so you don't need to pick me up."

As Du Shaojie spoke, he took the bag from the other person's hand.

Wang Yuxiu and Xiaomei, who heard the noise, put down their bowls and chopsticks, came out and greeted Qi Yan.

"Sister Yan Zi, you haven't eaten yet? I'll go get you something to eat."

Xiaomei and Qi Yan are very close, and Wang Yuxiu also likes Qi Yan very much, so they pulled each other into the house to eat.

Because she didn't know that there were guests coming, Xiaomei didn't make much dinner, so she prepared to cook noodles.

"Xiaomei, take Sister Yanzi's luggage to her room. I'll fry her a plate of rice noodles."

Du Shaojie stopped his sister and went to the kitchen to fry a plate of [Stir-fried Beef Noodles].

Qi Yan enjoyed the meal very much. With the other party's cooking skills, he could make a delicious dish with just a little effort.

"This time my company asked me to come to CUHK to study for three months. Auntie, I will live here."

After eating, Qi Yan and Wang Yuxiu chatted about family matters. (End of this chapter)
