Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

After Du Shaojie got Winnie's reply, he went to find Lin Zhiyuan.

Lin Zhiyuan is familiar with the senior executives of many large companies. If nothing else, he can at least help with introductions.

"Boss Du, your business is growing bigger and bigger now. It is no longer limited to the catering industry. I can't ignore your business. So, I will introduce you to a few people later. You can talk to them yourself. I won't get involved."

Lin Zhiyuan has always done a good job in this regard, and Du Shaojie certainly has no complaints.

This is a normal business behavior in itself, and getting too involved is not a good thing.

"Okay, thank you very much. When do you think we can get together?"

"Maybe not recently, I'll contact you later."

Du Shaojie did not disturb Lin Zhiyuan too much. After chatting for a few words, he got up and said goodbye.

The next day he received a call from Lin Zhiyuan, who mentioned a few names and asked him to find them himself.

Du Shaojie immediately contacted Winnie, and Winnie asked the trading company's business manager in Yangcheng to call him so that the business staff could provide technical support.

The next few days.

Du Shaojie visited the senior management of the relevant companies, and they were very polite for Lin Zhiyuan's sake.

During the chat, we accidentally mentioned Xichuan Restaurant, and one of the senior leaders actually complained about it for a long time.

"I've always wanted to see their chef's open day, but I can never get a spot. You see, a restaurant is so arrogant. Isn't this embarrassing for us consumers?"

Manager Dong Yushu's face was full of resentment. In order to entertain an important client, he had used all his connections to get in, but in the end he still couldn't get a seat. Now he gets angry whenever he mentions this matter.

Du Shaojie touched his nose, looking a little embarrassed: "Manager Dong, I opened [Xichuan Restaurant]."

"Ah? Look at what happened. I wish I had known you earlier."

Dong Yushu was stunned for a moment, then calmly resolved the awkwardness between the two.

He really didn't know the relationship between Du Shaojie and [Xichuan Restaurant]. Lin Zhiyuan didn't tell him when he called. He only said that it was a big boss who came to him regarding communication equipment.

"Yeah, we know each other now. President Dong, if you have something like this in the future, just call me and I will arrange it. I will never let you down."

Du Shaojie gave the other party a proper amount of face. Regardless of whether the business is successful or not, it never hurts to make more friends.

Dong Yushu laughed and said a few words of thanks, and the matter was over.

"Boss Du, I don't care about the specifics. I'll make the arrangements later. You can ask the relevant business personnel to discuss it."

Dong Yushu will definitely not come out to discuss business, and the same goes for Du Shaojie.

After this meeting, the business manager of the trading company in Yangcheng went directly to the company to find the relevant personnel. Thanks to the boss's greeting, the matter went smoothly.

weekend.

Du Shaojie invited Dong Yushu, Jiang Dongyuan, Ye Weiming and others to have a meal at the Seafood Restaurant.

He didn't call Jiao Hongtao and Tang Jun because this occasion was not suitable for them, but it didn't matter to Jiang Dongyuan and Ye Weiming.

Dong Yushu had an intuitive understanding of Du Shaojie's network of contacts, and with Lin Zhiyuan's help, the two soon became "good friends" who could talk about anything.

While we were eating, the business manager of the trading company also came over.

The other party toasted everyone with a few glasses of wine, and then left the private room to wait outside. After everyone had eaten and drunk well, the business manager not only paid the bill, but also sent Dong Yushu back very considerately.

Du Shaojie knew some things very well, but he would not get involved.

In fact, this trading company in Hong Kong is quite powerful. The company represents products from world-renowned communications companies, and the prices are reasonable and very competitive.

Just in time for the great economic development of Guangdong Province in recent years, the demand for communication products has grown rapidly.

For example, for programmable switches, the current installed capacity lags far behind demand, and the future market is very broad.

This matter was like a snowball, first in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and then in other cities in the province. Various orders flew to the trading company like snowflakes, and soon the situation was opened up all over the country.

Du Shaojie was initially amazed at how much money an agent could make, but after reading the trading company's quarterly report, he couldn't help but be amazed.

"These unscrupulous businessmen, including the manufacturers, are taking advantage of the fact that domestic products cannot be made. They are making a lot of money, which is simply a huge profit!"

He could complain as much as he wanted, but he had no other solution, not to mention that his own interests were involved.

This quarter, the trading company's revenue increased 35 times, and its profit increased 52 times. No one dared to believe it. But the fact is the fact, which made Du Shaojie sigh that there are business opportunities everywhere these days.

That day, Du Shaojie received a call from Yu Mo.

"Ajie, Mr. Robert and I have reached a preliminary agreement. We will jointly invest in building a factory to specialize in the production of [flexible circuit boards]. I can't explain the details over the phone, so please come over when you have time."

After several rounds of tough negotiations, Yu Mo and Robert finally reached a cooperation intention.

However, to sign a cooperation agreement, the consent of the major shareholder Du Shaojie must be obtained, otherwise it will be illegal.

"Okay, I'll go there the day after tomorrow."

Du Shaojie was not surprised. Yu Mo had discussed this matter with him before and he had no objection.

After hanging up the phone, he called Liang Meiqin and asked her to send someone to meet him to discuss the terms of cooperation together.

Day three.

Du Shaojie arrived in Shenzhen, and Winnie's team went into work mode. He had nothing to do, so he went to the InterContinental Hotel with Yu Mo to eat Western food.

"Ajie, the reason why we have been talking for so long is mainly because the other party has not given in on the technology transfer. Without technology transfer, what is there for me to cooperate with him? Can't we just slowly solve the technical problems ourselves?"

Yu Mo explained why the negotiations had taken so long. Robert was a very difficult person and only recently agreed to transfer the technology.

Du Shaojie nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work! Is there any problem with the funds?"

"It's OK for now. If I need a little, I can still get a loan from the bank."

The new [Dongsheng Electronics] has been very profitable in the past two years, achieving leapfrog development in revenue and profits, and is not short of money.

Originally, the dividends should have been distributed this year, but with the new project, the dividends will probably be delayed again. Fortunately, Du Shaojie does not rely on dividends to make a living, and he still supports Yu Mo's work.

At night.

Du Shaojie, Winnie and others held a meeting to discuss the draft agreement.

The agreement is basically fine, only some individual terms need to be modified, and then it can be signed.

After a few days of hard work, the signing ceremony was finally held at [Dongsheng Electronics]. The total investment of the joint venture project is 4300 million yuan, of which [Dongsheng Electronics] holds 67% of the shares and the company represented by Robert holds 33% of the shares.

The prerequisite is technology transfer and the joint venture company pays the transfer fee.

After the signing was completed, Du Shaojie went to Hong Kong with Winnie's team. He stayed there for two days and then returned to Guangzhou.

night.

Du Shaojie took stock of what he had gained over this period of time. If you spread it out evenly, it really wasn't that much.

For some time, he has spent a lot of energy on other things and has spent less time cooking himself.

Up to now, a total of 150 dishes that have obtained "Phoenix Marrow and Dragon Liver" have been accumulated, which has brought an increase of 15 redemption points and 300 million hours of playing time.

The total time consumed is 170 million hours.

[Exchange points: 359918 points\1983066 points]

【Duration: 978 million hours\3089.30 million hours】

the next day.

It’s the chef’s open day at Xichuan Restaurant again.

Du Shaojie has seldom appeared in public recently, and the banquets specially booked for him to be the chef have been scheduled for eight months later.

The key point is that there were various trivial matters in the past period of time, which resulted in a backlog of many appointment orders.

"Yongli, call Xiaohe, let's go to the train station store."

Du Shaojie felt a little embarrassed, so he left the house early and went straight to the train station branch of Xichuan Restaurant.

As soon as he arrived at the store, the manager told him that a man named Dong Yushu called and asked whether Mr. Du would come today.

"Okay, I see. I'll call him back later."

Du Shaojie then called back and found out that Dong Yushu was indeed talking about the chef's open day.

"Boss Du, I have an important reception tonight, and it happens to be the chef open day of [Xichuan Restaurant]. Can you help me arrange it?"

"Okay, you'd better come earlier in the evening, how about 6:? Then I can cook for you myself."

Du Shaojie had promised the other party, so he had to give face this time.

Anyway, he didn't plan to be lazy today and would stay in the store all day, so he could just return the favor.

This favor has nothing to do with business; it is simply because the other party is worth associating with.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Du. See you tonight."

Dong Yushu hung up the phone excitedly. He didn't know since when, the chef's open day of [Xichuan Restaurant] became the target of wealthy people.

Many people would flock to have the restaurant's "master" personally prepare a table of dishes, even though it costs a lot of money.

Scarcity makes things valuable. I am willing to queue for several months just for this meal.

What's more, Dong Yushu cut in line today, so he had both the inside and the outside saved.

noon.

Du Shaojie sat at two tables for the banquet. One of the customers came from Hong Kong, and another customer was said to be in the car business and was one of the people who "got rich first".

These two were at the front of the queue, and after we received a phone call yesterday, they both said they would be able to get here by noon.

Du Shaojie sat at two tables together. After all, the similarity of their orders reached 90%, and there was not much difference between serving one table and two tables.

As soon as the food and drinks on both tables were served, news came back quickly.

"Boss Du, the customers couldn't be more satisfied with the dishes you cook. While eating, they praised you highly and said that you are indeed worthy of your reputation as a master of Sichuan cuisine."

The lobby manager came over to report to Du Shaojie, looking very proud of himself.

Du Shaojie smiled. He was confident in his cooking skills and felt that the customer's reaction was not surprising. (End of this chapter)
