Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Now, not only local guests, but also a large number of customers from the surrounding areas come to [Fish Restaurant] to eat.

Many of them come here for the [Roasted Whole Lamb]. They don’t care about the price, but they must taste the authentic flavor of the dish.

To achieve this, raw materials are key.

Now if you want to eat [Roasted Whole Lamb] at Yuzhuang, you need to make a reservation three days in advance.

“How many sheep are consumed every day now?”

Du Shaojie received a call from Wu Dazhui and went to the fish restaurant to take a look in person.

"We need at least 80 sheep every day now, I mean those shipped from Xijiang, not including those purchased locally."

There are now 30 barbecue chefs and a lot more barbecue ovens.

In addition to [Roasted Whole Lamb], [Roasted Lamb Chops] are also very popular. In addition, [Clear-boiled Lamb], [Pilaf] and other varieties are also liked by many customers.

The grilled lamb skewers also use local lamb from Xijiang, which has a relatively lower profit margin. The price of grilled lamb skewers has not increased, and combined with other barbecue varieties, it is still profitable.

Now that the consumption of mutton has increased dramatically, it is unlikely that air transportation will be used anymore, after all, the cost of air transportation is too high.

However, the number of refrigerated wagons is too large, so refrigerated trucks have to be used for transportation, and the transportation intervals have to be adjusted at any time according to consumption.

"We need to strengthen employee training. It's a good thing if sales increase, but we must ensure quality."

Du Shaojie gave a demonstration to the barbecue master on the spot, and the rest of the training work would be handled by the senior barbecue master, so there was no need for him to stay here for a long time.

I originally wanted to make some contribution to my hometown, but the pilot project didn’t work well.

The fish restaurant was an exception and could not be promoted, so the matter ended up being left unresolved.

Time flies.

Winter came in a blink of an eye, and several areas in Xijiang suffered from snow disasters.

Du Shaojie asked Meng Gang to donate another 1000 million yuan in the name of the company to express his gratitude.

Although he was very low-key every time he donated, some media still dug out the donation records of Bailian Catering Company.

This is a very influential media in China. It published three consecutive articles introducing Du Shaojie and his catering company and their donations.

Sometimes I have to admire the resources of my journalist friends. They even dug up the last time Du Shaojie participated in flood relief.

"Boss Du, some media are calling you the 'King of Charity' now. You have become famous."

As a secretary, Luo Qin is very sensitive to such things.

She collected a lot of newspapers, and although most of the media were reprints, their influence was no small at all.

Du Shaojie shook his head helplessly. He didn't donate to become famous, otherwise few people would have known about it for so many years. As a result, a few articles pushed him to the forefront, which was not what he wanted.

"If you become famous, you become famous. I can't stop you. But we will ignore anyone who calls us to ask for donations."

There is nothing much to say about him, so he should try to stay out of the public eye.

In the end, he still underestimated the power of the media. After that, the restaurant company's phone was almost blown up. Many people asked the company for donations under various excuses, and even some individuals who encountered difficulties called the company for help.

This made Meng Gang almost annoyed to death.

However, Du Shaojie made his attitude clear from the beginning that he would never accept any unsolicited donations.

Therefore, we reject all calls for donations and help.

It took a long time for the storm to pass.

In addition, many media wanted to interview Du Shaojie himself, but he always refused and did not accept any interviews.

He never considered himself a philanthropist, nor did he want to be one. He only did what he wanted to do, without being swayed by morality and public opinion.

Meng Gang was more direct and issued a statement saying that the company would not accept any interviews.

"Insidious villain!"

Far away in Shanghai, Wang Dongxu has also paid attention to the recent public opinion.

To be honest, he actually envied Du Shaojie and his catering company. This wave of public opinion was relatively positive, and the benefits gained were more useful than any amount of advertising.

As the dominant player in the paging field, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse after a short period of glory.

The advent of Xiaolingtong and the introduction of cheap mobile phones have had a huge impact on the entire paging industry. Today's paging stations can hardly retain existing customers, let alone increase the number of customers.

The profits of [Hongyan Paging] continued to decline, and he didn't know how many times he had cursed Du Shaojie in his heart.

But what's the use? It's too late for him to lose weight now. The pressure of huge foreign debt is getting bigger and bigger. He can only bear it. There is still hope if he persists. If he gives up now, [Hongyan Paging] will soon burst into a debt crisis.

"Go check it out. Huanyu Communications is actively promoting PHS in various provinces. I don't believe they haven't violated the rules. Tell me immediately if you find any evidence. I won't let them off easy."

Wang Dongxu assigned tasks to his trusted subordinates in order to vent his anger.

It's just that he overestimated his own strength, and his subordinates were looking for information everywhere, which attracted the attention of some interested people.

A few days later, his subordinate was sent to a labor camp because of his girlfriend. This was a warning to Wang Dongxu. Wang Dongxu realized that such a straightforward revenge would not work, so he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​venting his anger directly.

But he was not idle either, as he was preparing to dig a big hole for [Universal Communications].

Yangcheng.

At noon that day, Du Shaojie invited Liu Zijian and Sun Zhenguo to dinner at Xiangweiju.

Liu Zijian and Sun Zhenguo came to attend a trade fair. This trade fair was very large and included almost most of the world's mobile phone manufacturers.

"Boss Du, we came with a secret weapon this time."

After three rounds of drinks, Liu Zijian smiled mysteriously and told Du Shaojie that [Huanyu Communications] would launch its first thousand-yuan mobile phone (feature phone) at this exhibition.

The company's PHS business has developed rapidly. The sales of Huanyu N-910 PHS phone are very good and have been rolled out nationwide.

At present, the domestic cell phone market is divided into three parts, and Huanyu Communications ranks first in market share. Of course, the company's advantage is not great, and the competition among the three companies is very fierce, with little difference.

However, the mobile phone business has been slow to make a breakthrough. Currently, the market is basically dominated by imported mobile phones, with Nokia, Samsung, NEC, Sony and other brands being very popular.

Under such circumstances, Huanyu Communications took the lead in launching a thousand-yuan phone, which is of extraordinary significance.

"Come on, have a try. I wish you a successful start!"

Du Shaojie is very optimistic about the company's thousand-yuan phones. Although it is difficult to pose a threat to imported mobile phones for the time being, as time goes by, [Huanyu Communications] will surely gain a foothold.

the next day.

The trade fair opened, and Huanyu Communications became a huge success with its thousand-yuan phones, with orders pouring in from all over the country.

This represents a good start. Being able to snatch a small piece of the pie from foreign manufacturers is a victory in itself.

Du Shaojie also visited the exhibition and was very happy to see this scene. The sudden rise of domestic mobile phones should not be far away. Isn't this the dawn of hope?
A few days passed quickly.

The trade fair soon came to an end.

On this day, a Southeast Asian businessman came to the platform of [Global Communications] and stopped to watch for a long time.

Liu Zijian felt that this was a potential customer, so he took the initiative to introduce the product to the other party. The man was very interested in the thousand-yuan phone and was ready to sign a large order of 1 million US dollars.

This made Liu Zijian very happy, but in his excitement he did not forget the company's regulations and required the other party to pay 20% of the total payment as a deposit.

In addition, after this batch of goods is produced, the other party is required to pay the full amount before delivery.

"Mr. Liu, your requirements are too harsh. I have done business with many companies around the world, and none of them are as cautious as you. How about this, I will ship the goods after paying half of the payment, and settle the remaining 50% after the goods arrive."

The customer was a little unhappy. He left after leaving a message and said he would come back later.

Liu Zijian was very conflicted. On the one hand, he was reluctant to give up the $1 million order, but on the other hand, he didn't want to agree to the other party's conditions. After all, the two parties had never dealt with each other before, so what if he was cheated?
At this time, Sun Zhenguo had already returned to Shenzhen, so he had to call Du Shaojie to discuss the matter.

The trade fair will end tomorrow, so whether you agree or not, you have to do it as soon as possible.

"Which country are these merchants from? Is it that big country in the East?"

Du Shaojie rushed over and asked a soul-searching question as soon as they met.

Liu Zijian naturally didn't know the story of the Eastern Power. After thinking for a while, he said, "The other party's nationality is not important. What's important is that the conditions proposed by the other party are too harsh. I'm not sure."

"If you are not sure, don't do it. We can't break the rules we set. If you don't pay, we won't ship the goods, and we won't give credit."

Du Shaojie thought clearly and would rather miss out on a big order than suffer losses.

Haven’t domestic enterprises been cheated by foreigners in recent years? Many of them cannot get paid after the goods are shipped, and the lawsuits are protracted and may not win.

Even if you win, the other party has no property to execute, so you are just groping in the dark, right?

"Yes, yes, I was greedy."

Liu Zijian felt a little ashamed. Once the rules are set, they should be followed. There is no need to think about those unnecessary things.

As the two were talking, Ye Weiming suddenly came over. He was an old foreign trader, so he naturally wanted to come and see such a trade fair.

"Mr. Ye."

"Boss Du, you are here too."

Ye Weiming came over and chatted with Du Shaojie for a few words.

After a while, the Southeast Asian customer came to the booth again.

"Mr. Liu, how are you thinking about it? To be honest, I just valued your price, but your conditions are so harsh."

"Sir, it's not that our conditions are harsh, but your conditions are too harsh. After all, this is a $1 million business, and we can't afford any losses. I hope you can understand."

Liu Zijian was bargaining with the merchant on the side, and Ye Weiming glanced at him inadvertently.

Then his expression changed, and he leaned over to Du Shaojie's ear and whispered, "That guy is a liar. He has teamed up with Wang Dongming to defraud many domestic companies in the past."

Others may not know this guy, but Ye Weiming does. (End of this chapter)
