Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

During this period of time, Du Shaojie has not gained much.

A total of 60 dishes received the comprehensive evaluation of "Phoenix Marrow and Dragon Liver", which brought him 6 redemption points and 12 hours of income.

He decided that spending money would be the best way to fill in all his shortcomings before the exam.

So he carefully selected 500 dishes from various categories, spent 50 exchange points and 1000 million hours, and raised the overall evaluation of these 500 dishes to the level of "Phoenix Marrow and Dragon Liver".

[Exchange points: 1739918 points\4213066 points]

【Duration: 1564 million hours\7441.30 million hours】

Most of the 500 dishes are Hunan cuisine, and only then did Du Shaojie become a veritable Hunan cuisine master.

He is now a [Master of Sichuan Cuisine], [Master of Fujian Cuisine] and [Master of Hunan Cuisine], and his progress is astonishingly fast.

But he also paid a high price for it. Not to mention the time and energy he spent, the amount of krypton gold alone is enough to make others despair.

But it's all worth it. Almost everything he has now is brought by his cooking skills, which he cannot afford to lose.

"Brother, are you researching new dishes again?"

noon.

Xiaomei rushed over from work, she had nothing else to do but to have dinner.

After her wedding, Wang Yuxiu followed Qi Yan and her daughter to the capital. She often felt lonely alone, and the older she got, the more she liked children, especially granddaughters and granddaughters.

This time, Qi Yan took the initiative to invite her mother-in-law to the capital, and she agreed without even thinking about it.

In order to hone his cooking skills, Du Shaojie chose to live in the old street. Compared with the villa in Huaqiao New Village, the kitchen here is more professional. Another reason is that his sister and brother-in-law often come to eat.

"I don't research innovative dishes. I just make whatever I want. Why are you here alone today? Where's Haitao?"

Du Shaojie had already cooked two dishes. When he saw Xiaomei running in alone, he asked.

"He'll be here soon. I'm going to wash my hands first."

Xiaomei responded and went to the bathroom.

Du Shaojie went to the kitchen to continue cooking. There were not many dishes for lunch, just four dishes and one soup, one Fujian dish, one Jinling dish, one Huaiyang dish, and one Hunan dish.

The soup is the most popular traditional soup in the province, which contains local chicken, scallops, wild mushrooms, etc. It is very delicious.

By the time he had prepared all the dishes, Sun Haitao had arrived.

The three of them had lunch together. Sun Haitao went upstairs to take a nap, while Xiaomei and her brother sat in the living room drinking tea.

"Brother, my father-in-law gave us one million, saying it was your dowry. In fact, I know that you not only helped him pay off his foreign debts, but also helped him make a lot of money, right?"

Xiaomei drank a cup of tea, then remembered something that happened a few days ago and couldn't help laughing out loud.

After the marriage, Haitao treated her very well, and so did her parents-in-law. She knew that her brother had contributed to this, after all, her brother had helped the Sun family turn things around, otherwise where would her father-in-law have given her one million?

"That's not the case. I did help a little, but Uncle Sun's personal ability is unquestionable. The paging station is developing very well now, and Uncle Sun has made an indelible contribution. He deserves the money."

Du Shaojie said lightly that Sun Zhenguo had grown up very quickly after going through the confusion in the early days of his career. The other party not only had strong professional skills, but was also a master in business management.

Professional matters should be left to professionals. Apart from his experience in running restaurants, he cannot handle other industries on his own.

Of course, he did not expect that he would have the opportunity to cash out so soon. It can only be said that Sun Zhenguo, who had passed the period of confusion, had good luck. Perhaps the saying was true: after bad times comes good times.

"Got it, thank you brother. Just keep this money at home and use it slowly. I have to keep an eye on it, to prevent men from becoming bad when they have money."

Xiaomei was not sleepy either. She chatted with her brother for a long time before going out with Sun Haitao.

Du Shaojie sat alone for a while and smiled slightly. Sun Zhenguo and his wife were quite interesting. They obviously remembered the favor and returned the favor to the young couple.

He is quite a good person.

Taking advantage of his own strength as a "Master of Hunan Cuisine", Du Shaojie called Chu Linlin and asked the training center to organize a training session specifically for the chefs of "Xiangweiju".

In the past two years, Liao Yongxin and Zhou Huai'en have grown older and are no longer in charge of the work. Chu Linlin is basically in charge of the daily work of the training center.

Both Liao Yongxin and Zhou Huai'en had the idea of ​​retiring. Du Shaojie communicated with them several times and planned to hire them as honorary chefs of the company and approve their retirement.

At present, this matter has been basically settled, and the procedures are still being followed.

In addition, Du Shaojie also gave the two of them a small amount of shares in [Xichuan Restaurant]. Although the shares are insignificant, the annual dividends alone are enough for their retirement.

Although he was a little reluctant, he still hoped that they could have a happy old age.

"Shaojie, Lao Zhou and I are old, so we can't really help you. I accept your offer of honorary head chef. I hope that Xichuan Restaurant can do better and better and become a century-old brand."

A few days passed quickly.

Liao Yongxin and Zhou Huai'en completed the formalities and officially resigned.

Under Du Shaojie's persuasion, the two accepted the position of honorary chef. As long as they were alive, the position would not be cancelled and they would receive a generous allowance every month.

In the development of Xichuan Restaurant, Liao Yongxin and Zhou Huai'en played a very important role. With the support of these two veterans in the Sichuan cuisine industry, the restaurant standardized the production process for the first time, laying a solid foundation for chain operations.

In addition, Liao Yongxin is Du Shaojie's master and has passed on his skills to him. "Master, Master Zhou, when you are free, please come back and give some pointers to the young people."

Du Shaojie personally sent the two to the airport. They were going to go back to Sichuan Province together and might travel around the country in the future.

A completely retired life is free and easy, just be happy.

Next, the training course officially started. Students from many stores all over the country gathered in Yangcheng, and they were all very excited because the main lecturer of this training was Du Shaojie.

Du Shaojie combines his own insights after joining "Master of Hunan Cuisine" and there are wonderful moments in almost every class.

Especially his demonstration, which made everyone gain a lot and everyone's cooking skills improved rapidly.

Not only did he earn the title of "Gold Medal Lecturer" every time he gave a lecture, but he also never kept anything to himself. He explained every key technique clearly, and the learning effect was more than improved fivefold.

After 30 days, the training course ended.

These chefs were originally trained by each store, and everyone felt that they had improved. When they left, they also took with them the latest version of the [Hunan Cuisine Production Process]. There is no doubt that the overall strength of each [Xiangweiju] store will reach a new level.

"So be it."

The various brands under the catering company have gradually matured and can go a long way without any major changes.

As the founder of the company, Du Shaojie basically doesn't have much to worry about. The numerous stores across the country will bring him a steady stream of cash flow, but he has long lost the passion he had when he started his business.

this day.

He received a call from Liang Meiqin and rushed to Hong Kong without stopping.

"Mikoto, are you sure?"

"It's confirmed."

"Well, let's go meet Director Liu."

As time went on, the trading company's business grew bigger and bigger.

Nowadays, paging stations in the mainland have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. If Du Shaojie and Sun Zhenguo had been slower, they would probably only be able to follow others and check the leftovers.

The share price of Mr. Liu's trading company has been rising, which is due to both expectations of performance growth and factors such as artificially raising the share price.

Many people have their eyes on the shares of the trading company held by Dingxin International. They have sent people to the company for talks several times, but these are not formal negotiations and can only be considered as testing the waters.

Director Liu's attitude was ambiguous, and he didn't seem to be afraid of a third party taking over. He just called in the past few days and said he wanted to meet Du Shaojie.

When Du Shaojie arrived at the company, he first asked about the situation, and then took Liang Meiqin to the trading company.

"Mr. Du, please take a seat. I really can't leave recently, otherwise I would go to the mainland to see you."

"Boss Liu, why should we be so polite to each other? It will be the same if I come here."

Du Shaojie sat down in the reception room and exchanged a few polite words with Director Liu.

After a while, Mr. Liu got to the point.

"Mr. Du, someone has taken a fancy to the shell of the trading company, but I don't know whether they really want to bid for it or plan to arbitrage in the secondary market. Will you take the opportunity to sell off your shares?"

The shares held by Du Shaojie have passed the lock-up period and can be sold at any time.

The stock price of the trading company has risen a lot during this period. If you sell some of your holdings, you can make a huge profit.

This is what Mr. Liu wanted to ask.

"Maybe. What does Mr. Liu mean? Does he want me to reduce my holdings, or does he not want me to reduce my holdings?"

Du Shaojie did not answer the other party's question directly, but asked a question in return.

"Boss Du, let's go if we can. If we miss this opportunity, we'll miss that store."

Mr. Liu smiled slightly and gave a clear answer.

Du Shaojie sat on the sofa and bowed to Mr. Liu, indicating that he appreciated the favor.

When Du Shaojie returned to the company, he immediately called Winnie, Fan Shilun and others to the office and made corresponding arrangements. The trading company is now popular, but in his eyes it is a trouble.

Didn’t you see that Mr. Liu has retreated?

Mr. Liu is a nice guy. He will give Du Shaojie a heads up if there is anything, even though Du Shaojie doesn't hold many shares.

Within two days, a very powerful company came to our door and asked to buy the shares of the trading company held by our company.

"We have already acquired a lot of shares in the secondary market. If your company is willing to transfer the shares in hand, that would be great. Please rest assured that the conditions we offer are very generous."

The visitor tried to persuade Liang Meiqin and Winnie, but there was also a sense of using force to intimidate them.

Then, the visitor stated the conditions, that he would purchase the shares of the trading company held by Dingxin International for HK$30 million.

"Fifty million! If you can accept it, we can sign the contract immediately."

Winnie smiled and quoted her price. She knew very well that the other party was anxious, but she was not that anxious. (End of this chapter)
