Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Liu Zijian's pager products followed the expansion of paging stations and spread across the country, with considerable profitability.

Otherwise, even Dong Yushu would be jealous. He is an operator, but his layout is not as early as Du Shaojie.

Du Shaojie also took the microphone and sang two songs. His singing was not bad, second only to the level of the karaoke hall mic master. Jiang Dongyuan clapped enthusiastically, then walked over and sat next to him.

"Mr. Du, are you planning to take out a loan recently? I still have some plans to complete. If it's convenient for you, please help me."

This year, the bank's loan conditions are quite strict, so big customers with good credit are very popular.

Jiang Dongyuan heard that Du Shaojie had invested in many projects outside, so he thought that his funds would be tight. The industry's loan plan had not been completed yet, so he asked about it.

"No problem. I'll lend you some money in the name of [Huaxin Investment] and [Bailian Catering] later."

Du Shaojie agreed without a second thought. Although the company had already passed the expansion period, he still had a great demand for storefronts. On the premise of ensuring the safety of cash flow, he could buy more appropriately.

I originally planned to use my own funds to buy it slowly, but since I can take out a loan, I will speed up the process.

A few people played until twelve o'clock, and then left the karaoke bar. They all had work the next day, and staying up too late was not good for their health.

the next day.

Dong Yushu had someone send Du Shaojie a "big brother" phone, which was an early model of Motorola. It felt like a brick in the hand and could definitely knock a person unconscious if it hit him on the head.

Du Shaojie accepted the phone and called the other party to express his gratitude.

"Why thank me for that? If you call more and spend more, that will be the best support for me. By the way, Mr. Du, please ask Mr. Liu to give us more BB machines. They are selling very well here."

The cell phone has been activated, but the real-name system for cell phone numbers had not yet been implemented at that time. Du Shaojie asked the visitor to bring a copy of his ID and complete the formalities.

Dong Yushu topped up 1000 yuan in phone bills into the account, enough for him to use for a while.

However, cell phone charges are very high these days, and they are charged both ways, so you have to pay for both incoming and outgoing calls. It depends on how Du Shaojie uses it. If he uses it a lot, 1000 yuan won't last long.

In the next few days, Du Shaojie borrowed 100 million yuan from the bank in the name of the two companies, and then sent people to major cities to look for suitable storefronts.

If the conditions are right, buy it.

From now on, these properties will be the company's assets. This time, the ownership will not fall to him personally. He already has a lot of properties under his name, so he will hold off for now.

The future development of the catering company will be to focus on maintaining its position, improving its management level and enhancing its profitability.

"Wynn, we're going on a long trip again."

After finishing the loan matters, Du Shaojie took Wang Yongli, Zou Xiaohe, Zhong Qing and Peng Yongjun and set out on the journey again.

The first stop this time is Hongzhou, and then go to Jinling, Hangzhou and Shanghai, the purpose is to inspect hot pot restaurants in various places. The operation of other sub-brands under the company is very stable, only [Shuweixiang Old Hot Pot] needs to be paid special attention.

He was busy here, and Pang Weidong and Xu Bo were also busy.

The three of them finally met in Shanghai, just in time for the opening of the third KTV karaoke hall under the entertainment company. Everyone seemed very busy, but everyone was very relaxed.

Du Shaojie's work focus has shifted to maintaining the status quo, while Xu Bo and Pang Weidong are also calm and confident because of their previous successful experience in karaoke bars.

The three of them had a meal at Xu Bo's Sunshine Hotel, and after attending the opening ceremony of the new karaoke bar the next day, they went their separate ways.

Du Shaojie took some time to visit Xiaoya's family of three, and then continued his inspection tour, finally going all the way from Shandong Province to the capital.

"Honey, you've worked hard! Let's go eat roast duck tonight. I've made a reservation in advance, so we don't have to wait in line."

Qi Yan felt a little distressed when she saw the dusty Du Shaojie.

It is not easy to do something well, and the catering industry is quite special. It is difficult to manage such a large enterprise without first-hand information.

She herself has experienced this deeply. Now her cooking schools are all over the country, and several vice presidents under her are often traveling all over the country. Relatively speaking, cooking schools don't have so many troubles, but even so, she often feels very tired.

"Okay, let's go eat roast duck."

Du Shaojie had no objection. She went into the house, washed herself briefly, lay down and fell asleep.

Qi Yan woke him up when she saw that it was almost time. The family went out to have a roast duck meal and did not return home until after nine o'clock.

at night.

The two chatted until late at night.

Qi Yan talked about her plan. She plans to start from the culinary school and extend it to vocational education, extracurricular tutoring, English training and so on.

In recent years, there has been a craze for going abroad and people are very enthusiastic about learning English. She has followed this trend.

Du Shaojie listened most of the time and occasionally offered some suggestions. He felt that Qi Yan would most likely follow the development path of New Era Oriental.

After the small talk, it was time for in-depth communication. The next day, both of them woke up very late, and Qi Yan did not go to the company all day.

Du Shaojie rested at home for a week, and then went to several hot pot restaurants in Beijing. At this stage, the overall performance of [Shuweixiang Old Hot Pot] has recovered, and the recovery speed is relatively fast.

The basic situation has been stabilized, but after this round of fighting, some scattered hot pot restaurants suffered.

Du Shaojie then secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If [Shuweixiang Hotpot] went bankrupt when it was handed over to him, it would be a huge joke.

Fortunately, the hot pot restaurant finally gained new life.

this day.

Du Shaojie received a call from Sun Zhenguo, who had also arrived in Beijing and wanted to meet him.

He invited the other party to his home, and then asked Wang Yongli and others to buy some dishes, and personally cooked a table for the other party to eat. The two of them were not just a superior-subordinate relationship, this man was also Xiaomei's father-in-law, so they were related.

"Boss Du, there are a lot of troubles in Beijing. Do you have any solutions?"

After Du Shaojie prepared the food, he sat down and drank with Sun Zhenguo.

Sun Zhenguo frowned. The paging station had already started business in Beijing, but now some people were making trouble with the excuse of the procedures. This was not a question of who was offended or not. He started early, and the procedures of the paging station were not easy to handle.

To put it bluntly, someone has set his sights on Du Shaojie's paging station.

"I'll think of a way. It shouldn't be a big problem."

Du Shaojie was also very worried about these things. There were often extra expenses outside of business, which made him very annoyed.

If there was something going on in Beijing, he would naturally go to Pang Weidong. After dinner, he immediately called that guy. But the other party was still in Jinling and said he would be back in a few days.

He then called Dong Yushu and Dong Yushu said he had connections here and immediately helped to ask.

"Uncle Sun, it's really not someone trying to pick on you. There was indeed an oversight when you were going through the formalities. But it doesn't matter. Go back to the Radio Management Committee and find Director Zhao. I've already informed him in advance."

Dong Yushu was very efficient in his work, and it turned out that this matter was not simple.

However, Du Shaojie did not tell Sun Zhenguo, but asked him to go and complete the formalities as soon as possible. According to Dong Yushu, if this formality is not completed as soon as possible, the frequency points previously approved may be revoked.

Fortunately, there are wise people to guide us, otherwise things would have gotten out of hand and we might have to evacuate the capital.

When Sun Zhenguo heard this, his face changed. He was an expert, how could he not understand the importance of the matter? So he quickly went to the No One Committee and completed the formalities through Director Zhao.

This incident also sounded a wake-up call for him, and he immediately asked the paging stations in various places to conduct self-inspection and self-correction to ensure that there would be no mistakes.

After Sun Zhenguo left Beijing, Du Shaojie finally managed to invite Director Zhao to dinner at Xiangweiju. Zhao Zhigang was from Hunan Province, and after so many years, he still liked the taste of his hometown.

The other party helped a lot this time, so he cooked a table of dishes himself to show his gratitude.

"Boss Du, your cooking skills are simply amazing. Your level is really high."

Director Zhao is about 50 years old and speaks very directly.

He first praised Du Shaojie's craftsmanship, and then changed the subject and talked about the paging station:
"You are still inexperienced. You missed one item when you first applied for the formalities, and you didn't go to make up for it afterwards. This gave people with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of you. They would like to take your place."

After Du Shaojie and Pang Weidong came back, he asked him to help investigate.

The company that wanted to take over the paging station was a company called Far East Communications. They had a small stake in another paging station and probably wanted to go it alone. But the current procedures were difficult to handle, so they did this.

If Sun Zhenguo cannot solve the problem of completing the formalities, he will most likely be replaced by someone else.

"Director Zhao, thank you. I'm not good at flattering you, but if you need me in the future, I will definitely not hesitate."

Du Shaojie said this sincerely, then picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

He admitted his defeat this time, and he would remember the company and its boss. If there was a chance in the future, he would give them a big gift. If there was no chance, he could only say that the other party was lucky, and he would wait and see.

"Mr. Du, you are a sensible person. Let's not talk about anything else. I am very happy to have you as a friend."

Zhao Zhigang smiled and joined him for a drink. The two of them got along better and better as they talked, and they both had a good first impression of each other.

After the meal, Du Shaojie personally sent the other party to the parking lot, and then moved two boxes of cigarettes, alcohol and some local specialties into the trunk of the car. The local specialties were some top-quality ingredients, in small quantities, for the other party to taste.

Next.

Du Shaojie decided to increase the advertising investment in the paging station. His requirement was simple: after rounds of advertising bombardment, the paging station must become a benchmark for the entire industry.

He believes that only by growing bigger and stronger quickly can we prevent similar incidents from happening again.

Sun Zhenguo led his team to take immediate action, spending money to grab users, and everyone was very motivated. (End of this chapter)
