Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Luo Santong replaced Du Shaojie in the association and called him almost every day.

When the other party learned that he had returned to Yangcheng, he ran over immediately and had a meal with him.

"Boss Du, the provincial and municipal associations will be re-elected soon. What are your plans?"

Luo Santong looked at Du Shaojie eagerly, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

After all, he is not young anymore. If he can become the president of the Municipal Association this term, it will be the pinnacle of his life. If he fails, he will have no chance in the future.

Therefore, he was more worried about this matter than Du Shaojie.

"I want to fight for a position in the provincial association. I will do my best to nominate you as the president of the municipal association."

Du Shaojie did not hide anything and immediately expressed his thoughts.

Luo Santong breathed a sigh of relief, and a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Over the years, he has been serving Du Shaojie wholeheartedly, and he has been in charge of almost all the affairs of the association. Who made the other party a hands-off boss?

All his past efforts finally paid off, and Luo Santong was extremely happy.

"Thank you, Mr. Du! I will follow you and work hard."

"Well, don't tell anyone about this in advance. There may be changes until the last minute."

Du Shaojie gave some instructions and then buried his head in eating.

There was no drinking at noon. After Luo Santong had eaten his fill, he said goodbye and left.

Du Shaojie came back and rested for two days, then went to the Municipal Association for a visit. Although he did not come to the office often, he had a good relationship with all the directors and members.

The upcoming re-election has given many people ideas. He spoke frankly to everyone and expressed his support for Luo Santong's bid for the next president.

Du Shaojie's support is crucial to Luo Santong. Luo Santong has always regarded himself as the president's agent, and he is basically in charge of the association's work on weekdays, so his foundation is still good.

After a day, many people changed their minds because of Du Shaojie's statement.

After the situation at the Municipal Association stabilized, he went to the Provincial Association every now and then to show up. As the president of the Yangcheng Association, he was originally the executive director of the Provincial Association, but he didn't usually take care of things.

His goal now is to compete for the vice-president of the provincial association, but to be honest, he is not very sure.

Now the title from the association has little added effect on him. With Luo Santong in the Municipal Association, it is still very convenient to handle general matters.

Therefore, he was not concerned about gains and losses. He just chatted with a few directors he had dealt with before and did not do much else.

A few days passed quickly.

The Municipal Association held a re-election, and Du Shaojie resigned from the position of president and supported Luo Santong to succeed him.

Luo Santong has been running the business well in recent years and has attracted many powerful members. In addition, Du Shaojie has done a lot of work behind the scenes, so he was successfully elected as the new president.

Subsequently, the provincial association also held a re-election.

Contrary to many people's expectations, Du Shaojie successfully won the position of vice president of the provincial association. Although he was not ranked last among the three vice presidents, it was also a great victory for him.

Later, Luo Santong found out the inside story. Everyone gave face to Du Shaojie, mainly because of his strong ability and the fact that he had two modern cold storages behind him.

All the members of the municipal association who invested in the cold storage with him have made a lot of money, and the provincial association welcomes the arrival of such a god of wealth.

Du Shaojie had just become the vice president of the provincial association, and he felt embarrassed to be out of sight all day, so he would go and visit every few days. He had very little specific work, and was just a figurehead.

This was exactly what he wanted. He didn't need to compete for power with these people. It would be enough to have a name on his name to make things easier for him.

this day.

Meng Gang came to Yangcheng to report to him and mentioned what happened after the previous donation.

"Boss Du, we donated 1000 million yuan to the disaster area and it was on the news. As a result, many individuals and organizations have come to our door to beg for donations with all kinds of excuses. It's really annoying."

"Then don't see anyone. Get a few more security guards and keep anyone who comes by."

Du Shaojie was not surprised. Don't be afraid of offending people when dealing with this kind of things, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Meng Gang nodded, agreeing with him.

"Okay, then I know what to do."

After they finished their business discussion, the two took a car to Xichuan Restaurant, where they had lunch together.

The restaurant recently changed a new batch of dishes, and the overall effect is quite good. Both of them gave high praise after trying them.

After dinner, Meng Gang went directly to the airport. He was going to fly to Shanghai in the afternoon. His company was going to hold a large-scale event across the country, and he needed to listen to the opinions of the grassroots and try to make the plan more perfect.

After returning home, Du Shaojie called Luo Qin over.

"Luo Qin, you have been with me for quite some time. Have you ever thought about your future development? If you are willing to return to the catering company, I plan to let you serve as Mr. Meng's assistant."

When meeting Meng Gang this time, Du Shaojie realized that the other party was no longer young.

Recently, he has been considering the future development of the company and plans to train some young managers who may become successors in the future. For a catering management company, it doesn’t matter whether you have superb cooking skills or not. The key is to have a big picture and excellent management ability.

He is very optimistic about Luo Qin and thinks that it will be no problem for him to return to the company for a transition and become an executive vice president.

Du Shaojie now only holds the title of chairman of the catering management company, Meng Gang is the general manager, and the other vice presidents are mainly responsible for their own sub-brands. There is indeed a lack of a role to partner with Meng Gang. "Mr. Meng, if I can choose, I would still like to stay by your side."

Unexpectedly, Luo Qin was unwilling to return to the catering management company. She had seen the world following Du Shaojie, and her vision was not limited to the catering industry. She was very interested in her boss's various industries.

She would prefer to continue in her current role if possible.

Although she is just a secretary, she has to deal with various companies every day and has a lot of power. Moreover, she has a general understanding of the boss's business. Even Meng Gang is far behind in this aspect.

"Oh, forget it then."

Du Shaojie did not force Luo Qin. He felt that she was very capable and wanted to give her a better way out.

But since the other party is unwilling, let's talk about it later.

Luo Qin didn't say much. He handed the boss a few documents and turned to leave.

evening.

Du Shaojie was a little bored, so he went to the barbecue restaurant.

The [barbecue restaurant] has been doing very well for many years. Eating skewers and drinking beer are the favorites of many people, and the prices are relatively affordable, so it has been able to maintain its prosperity.

Since he was there, he asked the store manager to grill some more food, and then he sat down with Wang Yongli and others to drink beer and eat skewers.

Anyway, he is not a celebrity, and few people know him except some old neighbors. He is not a very particular person, he can eat in big restaurants and food stalls.

Who would have thought that he, who was eating skewers on the street, would be a billionaire?

"Boss, Mr. Liu is looking for you."

They were eating happily when Du Shaojie's phone rang.

The phone was with Luo Qin. After she answered the call, she handed it to the boss.

"Boss Du, I'm in Yangcheng right now, where are you?"

"Mr. Liu, I'm drinking beer. Have you eaten? Do you want to come over and have a drink with me?"

"it is good!"

Du Shaojie guessed that the other party was busy, so he told him the address of the barbecue restaurant.

About twenty minutes later, Liu Zijian came running over.

"Boss Liu, you're really fast. Were you nearby before?"

"That's right, I came here specially to see you."

After Liu Zijian sat down, he looked around and was very surprised.

Surrounded by old residential areas, Du Shaojie was actually sitting on the street eating skewers and drinking beer with a few of his men, and there was no sense of incongruity at all.

He and Du Shaojie were business partners, but they didn't have much contact in private. Today's scene was completely beyond his imagination. However, he didn't ask more questions. Everyone has their own living habits, and there is no point in saying more.

After Liu Zijian came, Du Shaojie ordered some more food, ate and drank well, and then returned home.

"Boss Liu, tell me, what happened?"

Du Shaojie didn't dare to ask outside just now, so he asked after he entered the house and sat down.

"Mr. Du, PHS is being promoted everywhere now, and many companies have seen the opportunity and started to get involved in this field. For example, the products launched by Manager Ren's company have already posed a considerable threat to us."

Liu Zijian came to see Du Shaojie today just for this matter.

He knew that the other party had invested in Manager Ren's company, but it was just an investment and he had no say in the other party's company. But no matter what, everyone was not an outsider, and the result was that they were about to form a situation of cannibalism.

He hoped that Du Shaojie could come forward to coordinate and see if there was any way to solve this problem.

"This is difficult, after all, different companies have different interests. Competition is probably inevitable, but there are also areas where we can cooperate, what do you think?"

Du Shaojie had overlooked this point before. World-class companies also develop step by step, and may involve many fields in the process.

Since Huanyu Communications is competing with the other party in some aspects, each company can show its unique capabilities. Anyway, such a large market cannot be fully taken over by any one company.

"I see. It seems we have really met our match. Mr. Du, I have another thing to tell you. The company needs to increase its investment in research and development. If we don't invest now, we might be eliminated."

Liu Zijian had a strong sense of crisis and focused on the second thing.

【Huanyu Communications】After selling the paging business, there is no problem with funding for the time being. Now we need to increase investment in R&D, but R&D investment is a pitfall that will definitely affect the company's profits.

He must obtain Du Shaojie's consent.

"That's fine, I fully support it."

Du Shaojie agreed without thinking. Although he didn't understand the specific technology, he understood that relying on large investments could enhance the company's core competitiveness.

Liu Zijian's trip was worthwhile. He stayed in the hotel for one night and then returned to Shenzhen.

He and Sun Zhenguo convened a meeting with the company's top management, finalized the R&D plan, and allocated a huge sum of money. (End of this chapter)
