Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

"The company originally planned to build a production line. So how big would the scale of the investment in Bangkok be?"

After Du Shaojie received a call from Yu Mo, he rushed from Hong Kong to Shenzhen to discuss the matter with him.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether this thing succeeds or not, what he cares more about is that it trains the team. Everyone's ideas are actually correct, but they look at the problem from different angles and are a little one-sided.

I didn’t expect Yu Mo’s attitude to be so firm.

"The scale will definitely be expanded, and at least three production lines will be built."

"I have a suggestion. We can now discuss a joint venture with the relevant companies in Bangkok. The investment scale may be larger, but in actual operation, it can be invested in batches. Do you understand what I mean?"

Du Shaojie has been thinking about this problem these days and found a solution.

That is to make the overall project plan very large, but the actual investment will be carried out in batches and phases. In this way, Yu Mo's desire for technology and production capacity can be satisfied, and a considerable part of the later losses can be avoided.

The key is to keep enough funds and wait for the acquisition after the crisis. That is the core of the whole plan, otherwise the loss will outweigh the gain.

In addition, when investing, you can strive for credit support from local banks. This is an indispensable condition and an important part of reducing losses.

Now that the financial crisis we remember is not far away, this plan is completely feasible.

After Yu Mo ended the call, he revised his plan repeatedly and came to Hong Kong again.

Du Shaojie asked Fan Shilun and Winnie to accompany each other to Bangkok. Unlike previous inspections, everyone already had a clear goal in mind and could have formal contact.

at night.

Du Shaojie stayed in the Repulse Bay Villa and did not go to Liang Meiqin's place.

He took stock of his gains and expenditures in the recent period. 120 dishes received a comprehensive evaluation of [Phoenix Marrow and Dragon Liver], which increased his exchange points by 12 points and his time consumption by 240 million hours.

The consumption is neither more nor less, exactly 100 million hours.

[Exchange points: 849918 points\5003066 points]

【Duration: 1024 million hours\8021.30 million hours】

Two days passed.

Du Shaojie, Wang Yongli and others returned to Guangzhou.

He doesn't need to personally oversee the investment in Bangkok. Besides, investing in factory construction and joint ventures are not that quick and it takes multiple rounds of negotiations to reach an agreement. There is no point for him to stay in Hong Kong.

In the next few days, Wang Yongli, Luo Qin and others felt both pain and happiness.

In order to digest and absorb the knowledge he learned in Quancheng, Du Shaojie has been eating Shandong cuisine for lunch and dinner these days.

At the beginning, Wang Yongli and others enjoyed the meal very much. Nowadays, not many people can have this treatment, and it is not easy to ask the boss to cook personally.

But the problem is, it’s not okay to eat this stuff every day, and there are too many repetitive dishes, and four people will get tired of it if they eat too much.

Du Shaojie asked them to help taste the dishes, and if they were not well done, he would polish them repeatedly. His Shandong cuisine skills improved by leaps and bounds, but it was hard for Wang Yongli and the others.

Fortunately, this process only lasted for half a month and Du Shaojie stopped.

There was no need to practice hard anymore, he just turned on the "pay gold" function.

It consumed 20 exchange points and 400 million hours of time to raise the comprehensive evaluation of the 200 carefully selected [Lu cuisine] dishes to the level of "Phoenix Marrow and Dragon Liver".

[Exchange points: 649918 points\5003066 points]

【Duration: 624 million hours\8021.30 million hours】

What remains is the hard work of deepening your understanding of Shandong cuisine and improving related techniques through practice.

Although Du Shaojie has not yet truly reached the level of a "Master of Shandong Cuisine", he is not far off.

“I feel like my cooking skills have improved, but I still haven’t hit the breakthrough point.”

Du Shaojie has almost mastered the essence of Shandong cuisine, and then he draws nutrition from this cuisine to improve his cooking skills. However, it seems that the accumulation is not enough, and it has not yet reached the point where quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

Fortunately, he has enough patience and is not in a hurry.

He has been in contact with Yu Mo, Winnie and others recently, and the negotiations there are going smoothly.

Yu Mo wanted to acquire advanced technology through the joint venture project, and Bangkok's Deshixin Technology Co., Ltd. wanted to grow quickly and become stronger, so the two companies hit it off.

The two parties plan to jointly invest US$5000 million to build a large-scale PCB production base.

The project is divided into three phases. In the first phase, a production line will be put into operation. The consortium consisting of Dongsheng Electronics and Dingxin International will invest US$800 million, and Deshixin Technology will invest US$600 million and invest in related technologies.

The equity ratio of the two parties is 55% for the consortium and 45% for Deshixin Technology.

Bangkok First Bank agreed to provide credit support to the consortium consisting of Dongsheng Electronics and Dingxin International.

The current condition is that the consortium registers a company locally in Bangkok, the company opens an account in the First Bank and deposits a sum of US dollars, and the bank provides a loan in Thai baht equivalent to the US dollars.

The larger the deposit, the larger the loan amount.

According to the contract, the entire project consortium needs to invest 2850 million US dollars. In fact, as long as 1425 million US dollars are invested, Bangkok First Bank will provide the equivalent of 1425 million US dollars in Thai baht. Local matters, such as purchasing land, infrastructure projects, employee salaries, etc., can be paid in Thai baht. Imported equipment, imported raw materials, etc., need to be paid in foreign exchange.

The principles have been basically finalized, but some details still need to be discussed in depth. It is estimated that it will take another three months to finally sign the contract.

"Thank you for your hard work! Let the early team move in."

Du Shaojie couldn't help much, but fortunately the company was full of talented people, and Dongsheng Electronics and Dingxin International quickly dispatched an advance working group to Bangkok.

Next, they will be responsible for conducting technical negotiations with Deshixin Technology and implementing the loan.

Yu Mo stayed in Bangkok and Winnie returned early.

This time, since Fan Shilun, the person in charge of [Dingxin International] stationed in Bangkok, is here, there is no need for her to stay there any longer.

Pang Weidong has also been in Bangkok recently.

He converted the profits of Happy Palace into US dollars in batches and transferred them to Hong Kong. The local foreign exchange can be freely converted, and there are no restrictions on the inflow and outflow of funds, which helped him a lot, otherwise it would be quite troublesome.

Xu Bo maintains the operation of Yuedong Entertainment in the mainland, and under the calm surface there are undercurrents.

Du Shaojie had no intention of making waves in the foreign exchange market. The funds in his hands were placed in that big pool and could not even make a splash.

Over the years, he has witnessed the ups and downs of the first group of people who became rich after the reform and opening up. Some people made their first pot of gold and then rose straight up, while others lost themselves after getting rich and did not hold on to the fruits of victory.

Among them, blindly entering the investment field is a taboo, and many people who have become rich have fallen into this trap.

"Yongli, Luo Qin, pack up for the next two days and go out for a walk."

Du Shaojie had some free time again. He took Wang Yongli and others and drove three cars to Shandong Province.

Before, I just visited Shandong Province in a hurry, but this time, no matter big or small cities or counties, I would stay for a few days if I wanted.

Along the way, he found many interesting small restaurants, which may only have a few dishes cooked well, but their business was really good. The greatest joy of the group every day was to taste the food and enjoy the beautiful scenery. It took more than half a month to arrive in the Spring City.

"Boss Du, I'm glad to see you again. I love discussing cooking skills with you."

I visited Wang Hongbo again, and the old man felt more friendly to him than to his own family.

The last time the two of them communicated, they divided their time equally, but because their learning abilities were different, Wang Hongbo still had some problems that were not resolved.

Now that Du Shaojie has come to my door, I will naturally not let him go easily.

Wang Hongbo helped the group rent a yard not far away, and then spent the whole day exchanging cooking skills with them. He brought out all his best skills in the hope of learning the true essence of Cantonese cuisine.

At the same time, his little apprentice served by his side every day, actually also for the purpose of learning.

Du Shaojie knew it well, but he didn't point it out, and he continued to communicate with the other party seriously. Wang Hongbo's background had been emptied by him, and he was not an immoral person, so he naturally wanted to teach him the essence of [Cantonese cuisine].

Half a month later.

Du Shaojie said goodbye and suggested that he would invite Mr. Wang to visit him in Guangzhou when it was convenient.

Wang Hongbo and Du Shaojie initially made a deal, where they taught each other skills, and they were not even friends. But after two contacts, he had a very good impression of Du Shaojie, and he consciously tried to get closer to him.

Now the two of them are like close friends regardless of age difference and have a good relationship.

"Okay, I'll definitely go to Yangcheng in a few days."

Wang Hongbo did not try to persuade him to stay. He knew very well that there was no need for him to make this trip, but he came anyway.

Within half a month, most of his doubts were answered, and his skills in Cantonese cuisine improved substantially.

Then he would pass on the experience he had absorbed and organized to his young apprentice, and he would have fulfilled his wish.

After leaving Quancheng, Du Shaojie and his party headed straight to Qindao.

"Come on, I'll take you to a seafood dinner."

Qindao is close to the sea, and its specialty food is all kinds of seafood.

Of course, the seafood cooking here is very different from that in Guangzhou, but it has its own unique flavor.

Du Shaojie and the others had a hearty meal before finding a hotel to stay in. Without his instructions, Wang Yongli put down his luggage and went out, still following the old rules, to see if he could rent a suitable place to live.

"Boss Du, how long do you plan to stay here?"

Luo Qin is Du Shaojie's personal secretary, and she is responsible for all matters related to his work and life.

She needs to know how long her boss will stay here so that she can arrange her next trip.

"It depends. Maybe one month, maybe two months. It won't be more than two months at most."

Du Shaojie has always been like this. When he decides to master a certain cuisine, he will stay in the local area for a while.

Cooking skills come from life and cannot be achieved by working in isolation. This has always been his guide to action.

Not long after, Wang Yongli came back with a flyer in his hand. (End of this chapter)
