Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Du Shaojie spends a lot of time in the [Fujian Cuisine Restaurant], and when he is interested, he will cook some authentic Fujian dishes himself.

But his attention was focused on watching the show.

He found that Wang Dongxu and others were still very optimistic about the paging market, and were even a little too enthusiastic about expansion.

He and Sun Zhenguo and others did not set up a complicated scheme. They just used the company's assets in Fujian Province as bait and found a few people to raise the price.

Du Shaojie accurately calculated Wang Dongxu's ambition to grow bigger and stronger quickly. With the sovereignty in his hands, he was not afraid that the other party would not submit.

In fact, things went more smoothly than expected. Through Mr. Luo, Wang Dongxu acquired all of Huanyu Communications' business in Fujian Province and signed a subsequent service agreement.

Subsequent service means that customers in other regions of [Huanyu Communications] can still enjoy "roaming" services in Fujian Province.

The customers in this province were naturally transferred to the acquirer along with the related assets.

Everyone knows it tacitly, but in fact, Hongyan Paging acquired Huanyu Communications' paging business in Fujian Province.

Wang Dongxu felt proud. Although it was only a local victory, it gave him the confidence to dominate the national market.

As he expected, after he completed the acquisition, the financial support behind it took a big step forward.

“That’s pretty miserable.”

Du Shaojie was sitting on the sofa, reading a newspaper.

He lived in this business suite during this period and witnessed the sale of the paging business by Universal Communications.

This incident became a big news in the industry. In order to attract attention, some media used headlines such as [Huanyu Communications cuts off its tail to survive] and [Major reshuffle in the paging industry].

The contents of the articles are all similar. After analysis by these media, it seems that [Huanyu Communications] will go bankrupt tomorrow.

After a round of public opinion fermentation, Sun Zhenguo had someone publish a statement in a major media outlet. The statement clarified the rumors about the company's broken capital chain, saying that the company was undergoing transformation and that production and operations were normal.

He doesn't care whether others believe it or not, at least he has an attitude.

"Boss Du, it's time to go to the airport."

At this time, Luo Qin came in and reminded Du Shaojie that it was time to set off.

Du Shaojie nodded, and the group then flew back to Guangzhou.

Wang Dongxu gained an advantage in this battle and took over all of Huanyu Communications' paging business in Fujian Province. He then cancelled the promotion and the service fee basically returned to the level before the battle.

However, there are still discounts for customers who pay long-term fees in advance, which is equivalent to the company locking in profits in advance.

His plan was to gradually eat into Huanyu Communications' market share in the provincial capitals first, and then seize the opportunity to acquire them. Once the overall situation in the provincial capitals was settled, he would extend his business to prefecture-level cities and even counties.

The markets of some megacities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, will be conquered last.

At the same time, the so-called paging alliance was in turmoil, and some paging stations that did not participate in the reorganization defected to Hongyan Paging.

They tied themselves up with Wang Dongxu through equity swaps and other means, and the strength of [Hongyan Paging] increased greatly in a short period of time, approaching [Huanyu Communications] which was still in the first position temporarily.

The Paging Alliance began to get anxious and frequently sent people to contact Sun Zhenguo.

Under such circumstances, Du Shaojie instructed Sun Zhenguo to sell the paging business of some prefecture-level cities to the Paging Alliance at a premium.

His principle was simple: he couldn't let the paging alliance collapse completely. If Hongyan Paging became the only company in the market, he wouldn't be able to sell his paging assets at a good price.

He doesn't have to worry about what happens next. If he wants to quit completely, it will not be done in a day or two. It will take at least one or two years.

However, with the current approach, Huanyu Communications cannot be listed for the time being.

Du Shaojie actually has no obsession with whether the company can go public, and it is more appropriate to let Sun Zhenguo and Liu Zijian consider this issue.

"Mr. Du, Xijiang called and said your house in Chunfeng Lane is going to be demolished. If it's convenient, please go back and handle the formalities."

Du Shaojie has been back for a few days and has basically not gone out.

Qi Biao came in the morning, and not long after he left, Luo Qin told him about the demolition of the old house in Chunfeng Lane.

The relocation of Chunfeng Lane is part of the old city renovation. The news of the upcoming construction has been circulating for many years, but it has only now entered the substantive stage.

"Well, I see."

Du Shaojie planned to say hello to his mother. There were two courtyards in his house, one belonged to his mother and the other was his.

As they were talking, his cell phone rang again.

This time it was Liang's mother who called, and they were still talking about relocation. Liang Meiqin's parents still lived in Chunfeng Lane, and suddenly this area was going to be demolished, and the old couple were a little reluctant.

"I'll take some time to go back soon. I'll ask Mikoto later. If she's not busy, we can go back together."

After Du Shaojie hung up the phone, he went to Xiaomei's house.

Xiaomei is still on maternity leave, and in addition to her mother Wang Yuxiu helping to take care of the little one, the family also hired a nanny. Not to mention that the couple's salary is not bad, Sun Zhenguo alone gives the couple millions of pocket money.

The family's living conditions are still good. In fact, the main reason why Sun Zhenguo is so generous to Xiaomei is because of Du Shaojie. Without Du Shaojie's help, he would not be able to turn things around and would not be where he is today.

"Mom, the demolition of Chunfeng Lane has been decided, and we have no choice but to follow the crowd. I'm thinking of going back soon to take care of this matter. Do you want to go back with me?"

Although the family has now left Xijiang, the old house carries Wang Yuxiu's half-life memories after all. Du Shaojie cannot interfere, so he came to ask his mother for her opinion.

Wang Yuxiu's eyes suddenly became empty. She didn't say anything and suddenly recalled many past events.

If she had to choose, she would rather not have the demolition, compensation and resettlement housing. But the old city reconstruction is an inevitable trend, and she knows she can't stop it.

"Mom, just go back and take a look. Xiaobao has someone to take care of him, so just don't worry."

Xiaomei also smiled and said that if she could leave now, she would like to go back and take another look at the old house.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

After Wang Yuxiu made the decision, Du Shaojie asked Luo Qin to book a ticket and planned to leave in three days.

After returning home, he called Liang Meiqin and Xiaoya again.

Xiaoya and Liang Meiqin both wanted to go back and take a look, so they made an appointment to meet in Xijiang.

three days later.

Du Shaojie returned to Xijiang, and Xiaoya and Liang Meiqin also came back one after another.

"Xiaoya, you came back alone?"

"Yes, brother, Xiaobao is staying with my parents-in-law. I will be back in a week at most."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Just stay a few more days when you come back."

The season is still very hot now. The brother and sister stood in the yard with many emotions in their hearts.

However, the home that carries all their childhood memories is about to be demolished, and they are not in a good mood.

After a while, Wang Yuxiu came out of the house, and the family of three went out with a bag of incense and candles, and took a car to the cemetery. No matter who is in the family, as long as they come back, they will definitely go to visit the grave of Du Shaojie's father. This has become a routine.

night.

Du Shaojie set up a table at Xichuan Restaurant and invited Liang Meiqin's family, Su Dapeng's parents and sister, and others to have a meal.

His father-in-law and mother-in-law are now in the capital, otherwise they would have been called along as well.

When these people get together, they only have one topic to talk about, and that is "Chunfeng Lane". They have lived here for most of their lives, and now they have to start over again, and they feel very reluctant to leave.

Du Shaojie chatted with Su Dapeng's sister Su Xiaoyun for a while.

“Is business going well now?”

As Du Shaojie, Su Dapeng and Wang Yuxiu left Xijiang one after another, the business of [Dezhou Braised Chicken] was handed over to Su Xiaoyun, which became her livelihood.

He even handed over the seal to the other party, but he didn't care about the business over the years.

"Business is pretty good, and we've made a lot of money over the years. Shaojie, I have to thank you, otherwise how could we have such a good life now?"

Su Xiaoyun was very grateful to Du Shaojie and his younger brother Su Dapeng. If it hadn't been for their help, life would have been difficult for her as a divorced woman returning to her parents' home.

At that time, she was alone with her child, had no house and no job, and it was really difficult for her.

Fortunately, everything is over. She has accumulated a lot of money from the business of Dezhou Braised Chicken over the years and has now become a "millionaire". Therefore, her thanks are completely sincere.

"We are all family, so let's not talk about those things."

Du Shaojie was also very happy when he heard the other party say that he was living a good life.

Su Xiaoyun is a nice person. Even if he doesn't have a relationship with Su Dapeng, he will still help her.

At this time, Wang Yuxiu, Liang Meiqin's parents, and Su Dapeng's parents had already discussed the demolition and transition issues.

Wang Yuxiu also said that she seldom comes back, but the rest of the people still have to live here most of the time. Now that the old house is to be demolished, they have to find a temporary residence until the relocation house is completed.

Du Shaojie glanced at Liang Meiqin, who understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "If you ask me, why don't you buy a house first and live there, and then when you get the resettlement house, you can arrange it in any way you want?"

No one objected to her proposal.

These people have the ability to buy a house. Can Su Dapeng just sit there and watch while his parents buy a house? Similarly, Du Shaojie and Liang Meiqin will help their families buy houses, and Su Xiaoyun has already bought a house outside, so she doesn't have to worry at all.

The next day.

Du Shaojie handed the matter of buying a house over to Wang Yongli and Luo Qin. These old neighbors all wanted to be closer, and if there was a suitable place that satisfied everyone, it would not be a bad idea to buy houses in the same community.

Although his family rarely comes back, he feels they should still have a place to live.

As a result, Wang Yongli and his companions searched for several days but did not find a suitable place. Nowadays, real estate development has just started, and there are not many choices in this remote northwestern city. (End of this chapter)
