Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 420: Brutal attack

Du Shaojie remembered Pang Weidong's favor and changed the subject.

He was not surprised that the copycat stores encountered trouble. The other party used cheap ingredients in the first place, and if you are not careful, you may purchase problematic raw materials. This is the consequence of extreme cost compression.

Of course, this incident is not enough to defeat the copycat store. Didn’t Pang Weidong say that there are people behind them?

The three of them then talked about the development of KTV. Today, [Yuedong Entertainment] has extended its tentacles to most provincial capitals and economically developed cities.

The business is booming, but correspondingly, there are also many troubles.

Fortunately, Pang Weidong and Xu Bo are a perfect partnership. With the two of them working together, basically any difficulties can be solved quickly.

"Ajie, just wait to count the money."

When Pang Weidong talked about this, he couldn't help but beam with joy.

He even gave up the leadership of [Shuweixiang Hotpot], wasn't it just to concentrate on the KTV project? This project did not disappoint him, the benefits were much better than the karaoke bar back then, and he received a large amount of cash every day.

His pride was written all over his face.

"Okay, then I'll just sit back and enjoy the fruits of my labor."

Du Shaojie smiled and bowed to the two of them, causing Pang Weidong to burst into laughter.

Afterwards, he stood up and said goodbye. He finally found Ye Weiming and Dong Yushu, said hello to them, and then went home.

To be honest, he doesn't really like this kind of welcoming and seeing off things, it's really too tiring.

The resort reached its peak from the day it opened. It was fully booked almost every day and villas had to be booked in advance to be rented.

Du Shaojie went there several times later. He didn't have many business receptions. If it was a gathering among friends, he would rather go to the fish restaurant. The fish restaurant was not so noisy, and people like Lin Zhiyuan, Jiao Hongtao and Huang Yong would never go to the resort.

The resort was too famous, and it was not appropriate for them to appear in such an occasion.

But there is no doubt that Du Shaojie's investment was once again a great success.

Cai Jing was also secretly happy. After the resort project was completed, she continued to promote the construction of the high-end villa area. The villa area is not far from the resort, and the reputation of the villa area is growing.

The two projects that Cai Jing has insisted on pursuing in the past two years, the Yangcheng high-end villa area project and the Shenzhen Xiangmi Lake villa project, have both entered the harvest stage and started formal sales.

Du Shaojie bought a villa in Guangzhou and Shenzhen respectively. The villa in Guangzhou is in his own name, and the villa in Shenzhen was given to Liang Meiqi.

Liang Meiqin originally had a house in Shenzhen, but that house would be given to her parents to live in in the future.

"Boss Du, you are still like before, you like real estate."

Cai Jing let Du Shaojie choose by himself. There was no special discount on the price, but she gave him a fully decorated house and all the furniture and appliances.

"I can't help it. After all these years, I'm still a local tycoon."

Du Shaojie didn't care at all about Cai Jing's teasing. He even felt that there was nothing wrong with being a local rich man and made a self-deprecating remark.

Cai Jing accompanied Du Shaojie to sign the house purchase contract at the sales office in Yangcheng, and then the two went to Shenzhen together.

Next, Du Shaojie stayed in the headquarters building and planned a counterattack with Meng Gang and others.

Not long after, the case that Pang Weidong mentioned came to a conclusion. The copycat store was fined a huge amount of money for purchasing food ingredients in bulk that did not meet hygiene standards.

In addition, two other parties were arrested.

The copycat store was dissatisfied and filed a complaint.

In fact, it was the power behind Li Changsong and others who took action. The arrested people were quickly released, their fines were reduced by half, and their appeals were successful. It was indeed as Pang Weidong said, they did not suffer any serious damage.

But no one expected that a reporter followed the case throughout, and after the appeal results came out, the reporter issued a series of reports.

"Food safety" has attracted widespread attention, and the counterfeit stores have been pushed to the forefront. At that time, information dissemination was still mainly through paper media and television media. Once the report was published, it was published, and there was no possibility of deletion.

By the time Li Changsong and others found out about this, the cucumber dish was already cold.

"You losers, the reporters have been following you for such a long time, and you didn't even notice it? Now the matter has become a big deal, and even I am in trouble."

The people behind the scenes scolded Li Changsong and others, and then quickly dealt with accusations from all sides.

Some people took the blame for the complaint, some were punished, and the first opinion was maintained for the handling of the copycat store. Li Changsong and others did not dare to jump the gun, and after paying the fine, the two people directly responsible were quickly sentenced.

They were very angry and suspected that Du Shaojie was behind it, but they had no evidence.

The young reporter turned into a hero, but he did not get promoted. Not long after, he was sent to Hong Kong and became a reporter stationed in Hong Kong.

After this blow, the counterfeit store’s reputation has really been ruined.

Using substandard ingredients, even if the price is cheap, how many people will go to the store to eat? Since then, the business of the copycat store has plummeted and can barely maintain.

Seeing the other side's building collapse, Du Shaojie couldn't help but feel relieved.

Du Shaojie brought Wang Yongli, Zou Xiaohe and Peng Yongjun to a teahouse.

In the private room, he met Wang Linqiu, a former senior executive of the knockoff store. Wang Linqiu was in his thirties, wearing a pair of myopic glasses and looked gentle and refined.

Recently, due to the sharp decline in the business of the counterfeit store, the company laid off some employees and he was fired.

"Boss Du, I have nothing now. I wonder if your promise still counts?"

"Wang Linqiu, I always keep my word, so you don't have to think too much. You did a great job this time. Thanks to the information you provided, our journalist friends were able to report this in depth.

Tsk tsk, Li Changsong and his gang are really crazy, they will do anything to lower the cost. You go back and pack up, and go to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow. Work in the store there for a while, and wait until the storm has passed. "

Wang Linqiu took the initiative to find Du Shaojie through Luo Santong. He had realized that the copycat store was going to fail and he should have made plans early.

Moreover, he had never gained the trust of Li Changsong and others, and knew that he would be fired soon, so he made up his mind and went directly to Du Shaojie.

Du Shaojie assigned him a task, and now it seems that the task was completed very well.

"Okay, Mr. Du, I'm willing to follow your instructions."

Wang Linqiu was afraid that Li Changsong and others would know the truth, so he wanted to go out and hide.

Du Shaojie arranged for him to work with Feng Bin at the Xiangjiang branch of Xichuan Restaurant. He planned to have him stay in Xiangjiang in the future, and if he was capable enough, he would make him the manager of the Xiangjiang branch.

Feng Bin should also be transferred back.

After Wang Linqiu arrived in Hong Kong, Du Shaojie asked Xu Youlian to accompany Liang Meiqin and gave him 10 Hong Kong dollars.

Wang Linqiu played a very important role in exposing the inside story of the fake store this time. Du Shaojie would not mistreat those who had made contributions, nor would he worry about using a "traitor". He had plenty of ways to control the other party.

Wang Linqiu was the executor of the Shanzhai store team, and he had strong executive ability, but unfortunately Li Changsong and his team didn't treat him well. It was not for anything else, but because his ability was too strong, which made these people feel afraid.

Du Shaojie will not be like this. As long as he can demonstrate his value, he will definitely get a position that suits him.

Two days later, Du Shaojie himself arrived in Hong Kong.

Wang Yongli went to meet with a reporter and gave him a sum of money, allowing him to work here for two years with peace of mind.

After the matter was settled, Du Shaojie was at ease with Liang Meiqin for a while. He did not return to Yangcheng until Ye Weiming called to protest.

After the resort opened, Du Shaojie basically stopped caring about the business. That would be fine, he didn't even show up. According to Mr. Ye, you should at least arrange a few business activities here.

"I'm sorry, I've been targeted by villains all the time, and I just had some free time recently."

Du Shaojie met Ye Weiming and Dong Yushu at the resort, and bowed to them repeatedly as soon as they met.

Ye Weiming was unmoved, he didn't believe what the other party said at all.

Dong Yushu quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Boss Ye, Boss Du is really busy, but fortunately the villain got his comeuppance, so he can rest assured, right? Boss Du, although our business is booming, you have to have an attitude, right?"

"Okay, okay, this is all my fault. So, I'll treat you tonight, and we'll get together at the resort, eat, drink and have fun. No one needs to save money for me."

"Go away, you are just making trouble. I don't want to talk to you anymore. Let's go and eat."

Ye Weiming was so angry that he glared at Du Shaojie, and then the three of them went to eat buffet together. It's worth mentioning that although the price of the buffet is a little expensive, the food variety is very rich, and there are many cute small seafood.

If you are a big eater, you will never lose out by eating at the buffet.

"Boss Du, you've been distracted by a bunch of villains all day, do you want us to help you?"

The three of them were eating their food slowly when Dong Yushu suddenly said something.

I can’t say about other places, but in Guangdong Province, he and Ye Weiming can still help Du Shaojie defeat his opponents.

The reason why they didn't take action was because Du Shaojie could achieve the same effect.

But the problem is that the other party has not taken any action yet, which makes them feel incredible.

"I don't want to resort to other means for now. What's the saying? It's lonely at the top. My [Xichuan Restaurant] has almost no rivals. Now a [Sichuan Restaurant] has emerged. It's like a whetstone for them. It would be a pity to kill them all at once."

Du Shaojie smiled and shook his head. The copycat store was already half-ruined, and the Northwest Noodle House was now thriving, so he didn't have to worry about it at all.

As for the Sichuan Restaurant run by Li Changsong and others, it is just that, and it is difficult to make it bigger and stronger.

But he used this incident to put pressure on the stores, so that they would not become complacent. With a rival, they would naturally regroup.

The domestic catering market is so large that no one can dominate the world.
