Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

The proprietress rolled her eyes at Wang Qingquan and explained, "Boss Du, the eldest son in the family is unemployed, and Lao Wang plans to give this restaurant to him. We are also discussing going out for a walk, how about you let him work in Beijing for a while?"

There were some things that the proprietress was embarrassed to say. If Wang Qingquan had not given the store to her son, the store might have been taken away by someone else long ago.

Now that the debt has been paid off and his son has taken over the store, the two of them plan to start over from scratch.

The most urgent task was to save some capital, so the two of them thought about developing their business elsewhere.

Save some money, open a small shop of your own, and never do business in partnership with others again.

"Of course I'd love to have you. Master Wang, if you've made up your mind, come with me to the capital. Also, you alone are not enough. Can you help me find a few more people?"

Du Shaojie was a little confused about the situation, but he didn't want to ask too much about other people's family affairs.

In short, it’s enough for the other party to agree to go to the capital, and everything else has nothing to do with him.

"Okay, okay, how many days are you going to stay here? I'll start packing my luggage and help you find someone. Just let me know when you leave."

Wang Qingquan was overjoyed and couldn't help but remember what the fortune teller had said last time, that he was destined to meet a noble person.

Could this benefactor be Du Shaojie?
Later, Du Shaojie met Wang Qingquan's son.

The other party was polite, but not only was he very wary of others, but he was also very cold. Not only was he cold to him, but he was also very cold to Wang Qingquan and the proprietress.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Du Shaojie said goodbye.

Before leaving, he told Wang Qingquan that he would treat the couple to dinner at Xichuan Restaurant tomorrow night, and if there were any friends in the industry, they could also be invited to come along.

The next day.

The Star City Association arranged for Du Shaojie and his party to tour the city.

Du Shaojie had no interest in this, after all, he had been there before. But he was the leader of the team, so he had to go anyway.

The three Cantonese chefs were very interested at the time. Such an opportunity was rare for them and they would be wasting their time if they didn't have fun.

in the afternoon.

Du Shaojie left the team and went to Xichuan Restaurant alone.

When he met Wang Qingquan again, the other party gave him a big surprise.

"Boss Du, this is Master Li, Master Su, and Master Cai. They just retired and can't work in other restaurants, so they're willing to give teaching a try."

Wang Qingquan and his wife also brought three friends with them. All three of them are Hunan chefs and were Yu Loudong's right-hand men before retirement.

Du Shaojie immediately expressed his welcome and shook hands with the three veteran comrades one by one.

He understood Wang Qingquan's subtext. These chefs must have some agreement with their original units, so they cannot work in other restaurants.

If you are a teacher, there shouldn’t be any problem as long as it doesn’t involve the signature dishes of your original unit.

"Welcome everyone! Let's eat first and drink some wine so we can talk."

Du Shaojie certainly welcomed them to go to Beijing, but it was not a good time to discuss issues such as treatment now, so they should talk about it after dinner.

In fact, he was overthinking it. The treatment offered by Qi Yan was very good. As soon as he said it, Wang Qingquan and the other four agreed.

Du Shaojie was very happy that this key problem was solved.

After the exchange activity ended, he let the three Cantonese chefs return to Guangzhou on their own, while he himself went to Beijing with Wang Qingquan and his wife and three other Hunan chefs.

Qi Yan was overjoyed. The school's basic classes had already started recruiting students, and with the addition of four chefs, the intermediate and advanced classes could also start recruiting students.

"Is your training restaurant open to the public?"

This was Du Shaojie's first time at Qi Yan's chef training school. The first thing that impressed him was that the school was very large and the facilities, especially the professional kitchen, were well-equipped.

The second is the training restaurant. Although the restaurant's decoration is not luxurious, it is clean and bright. The front hall and the back kitchen are separated by a transparent glass curtain, and the chef's every move can be seen from the outside.

It was not yet time for dinner and there were not many people in the lobby, so Du Shaojie asked casually.

"Of course it's open to the public. Otherwise, why would we have such a big restaurant?"

Qi Yan gave him a positive answer.

In addition to providing meals for staff, teaching staff and trainees, the training restaurant also has a large surplus for external business, which provides a rare practice opportunity for trainees and a stage for practical training for lecturers.

Du Shaojie nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

After arranging accommodation for Wang Qingquan and others, Qi Yan personally led them to complete the entry procedures. After a busy morning, it was time for lunch.

The training restaurant became bustling with activity, and many people working nearby and nearby residents could be seen queuing up for meals.

The restaurant does not offer a la carte service. The staple food is rice and steamed buns. There are many kinds of dishes, both meat and vegetables, and free egg drop soup. It looks similar to fast food, but the taste of the dishes is really good.

The key is that it is of good quality and inexpensive, so it is very popular locally.

"Well, that's good. If you can improve the teaching quality, your school will have great potential."

Du Shaojie also had lunch in the training restaurant. The food here was very cost-effective and even he couldn't find any major faults.

"It's our school, husband. You are also one of the founders. You have shares in the school." Qi Yan was somewhat dissatisfied with the man's statement and corrected him.

The training school was indeed founded by her and Du Shaojie. It was written in the business documents. At most, Qi Yan's share ratio was slightly higher.

Du Shaojie laughed. He didn’t care about this, but he couldn’t be ungrateful, right?

Wang Qingquan and others adapted to the school for a few days and quickly got the hang of teaching. All of them were Hunan chefs, and their chef level was at least top grade, which greatly strengthened the school's teaching staff.

A new batch of recruitment advertisements have been replaced, and such a good gimmick must be added.

The number of people signing up is growing day by day. This is the appeal brought by the chef, which is somewhat similar to the star effect.

Du Shaojie stayed for a while and then returned to Yangcheng. His roots were in the south, and he had to stay in the south most of the time.

Time flies.

He took some time to go to Shenzhen and visited the joint venture project between Dongsheng Electronics and Robert, which is the production factory of flexible circuit boards.

There is naturally no problem with this project. After it was officially put into production, there has been no interruption in orders for products. Even when it reached full production, the products were still in short supply.

"Mo Mo, we should strengthen the company's R&D center. We can't rely on others for technical matters. Only when we master them ourselves can we be worry-free in the long run."

Du Shaojie is not in charge of practical matters, but he can still make suggestions on the direction.

He doesn't understand technology, but he has memories that are decades ahead of others, and he believes deep in his heart that he must master core technology in his own hands.

A company without independent core technology has no future.

"You are right. I have already made arrangements in this regard. I will increase the proportion of R&D funds to turnover year by year."

Dongsheng Electronics now has a wealth of talented people, and its technology research and development capabilities have been continuously strengthened.

Therefore, Yu Mo was very confident when he said this, and at the same time he was surprised at the other party's keen intuition.

You have to know that Du Shaojie knows nothing about manufacturing, but what he says occasionally always gives people a refreshing feeling.

Du Shaojie nodded and said no more.

He came here today just to take a look. The specific details such as production conditions, operating conditions and financial conditions will naturally be checked by Dingxin International, and the results will be reported to him every month.

So, after the tour, he took Yu Mo to the Seafood Restaurant for dinner.

He can ignore the specific business management, but he cannot always be away.

the next day.

Du Shaojie went to Cai Jing's company again.

"How come you, a busy man like you, have time to come to my place? Come on, I'll take you around the site and tell you about my future development plan."

Cai Jing was very happy to see him, but she felt a little resentful about this guy who was always elusive.

Of course, as a company leader, I actually like this kind of shareholder the most. They pay when it’s time to pay, don’t do much in normal times, but are very reliable at critical moments.

"Sister Cai, is there a new project?"

Du Shaojie pretended not to hear the other party's complaint and changed the subject.

He participated in the previous capital increase and share expansion, and finally participated in the additional issuance in his own name. The restrictions on corporate shares are more, which is not conducive to his future exit.

He will not cling to his shares and will let go naturally when the time comes.

"Which new project are you referring to? I have several new projects on hand."

Cai Jing smiled slightly, and seemed very proud in her heart.

At present, under her leadership, the real estate development company has completed the shareholding reform. The company has both the flexibility of a modern enterprise and the support of state-owned assets. The company is more than 10 times larger than when it was first established.
The two went to a construction site that was about to be completed. It was a newly developed high-end real estate project that seemed to have great potential.

"Sister Cai, I'd like to show my support for the development of our company. Can you introduce me to some suitable shops and houses? I want to buy them."

Du Shaojie has residences in Shenzhen, but both of them are self-built and are next to the store.

The conditions were a bit poor, but after seeing the development effect of this community today, I decided to buy it.

Although he likes real estate, he doesn't cast a wide net. He only cares about what he likes. If he likes something, he will buy it. If he doesn't like it, he will not buy it.

"You! Who, come here and introduce the house to our major shareholder."

Cai Jing then called the sales manager and asked him to introduce Du Shaojie.

Du Shaojie thought about it and bought an apartment of 180 square meters, and then a shop of 400 square meters. The shop can be converted into two floors, which is enough to open a restaurant.

The shop and the house cost a total of 230 million yuan, and he paid the full amount directly.

Anyway, Cai Jing would never cheat him, so there is still some trust in him.

Cai Jing was not stingy either, and later promised to give him a fully decorated house and all the appliances, and also promised to waive the property management fee for three years. (End of this chapter)
