Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

After that, Du Shaojie spent the whole day thinking about the new house. It was not easy for the two of them to decide on the decoration plan. The rest of the work was easy to handle. They just had to hand it over to the decoration company. Qi Yan also hired someone to supervise the project.

Du Shaojie took time to visit his daughter several times. He was actually reluctant to let his daughter live in the school dormitory, but he couldn't persuade Qi Yan after all.

His daughter made an appointment with him to go to Hong Kong for a vacation during the summer vacation, so he returned home reluctantly.

He doesn't spend much time with his daughter, but his daughter has a good relationship with him. This may be because distance makes beauty, and he sees his family almost every month, which makes sense.

weekend.

Du Shaojie arrived at the school gate early by car, picked up his daughter and went straight to the hot pot restaurant.

Later, Qi Yan also hurried over, and the family of three had a meal at Shuweixiang Hotpot. After the meal, she took her daughter to buy two sets of clothes.

The daughter spends more time with Qi Yan. After all, Qi Yan is an educator and attaches great importance to her daughter's education. The little girl does not have those bad habits of rich girls, and her daily food, clothing and daily expenses are all within the normal range.

Du Shaojie doesn’t know whether his daughter will take over the business empire he has built in the future, but so far she is the only heir.

He was too lazy to think about things that were too far away. Thinking too much would only make himself uncomfortable.

on Monday.

Du Shaojie boarded the plane and returned to Guangzhou.

In July, the last of the three major portals (SOHU) went public. If the stock price performance of SINA, the first to go public, was not satisfactory, then SOHU's performance was a bit disastrous.

When it first went public, the stock price once reached $13 per share, and then it kept falling without even a decent rebound.

Du Shaojie started selling from the first day of listing, and sold 100 million shares in total, with an average transaction price of only US$8.89, and a total of US$880 million was raised.

The transaction process lasted for about a month, but fortunately all the stocks in my hand were sold out.

Pang Weidong and Xu Bo hired people to manage their stocks, and Du Shaojie was not their babysitter, so they couldn't always bother each other. But they definitely communicated with each other, and they both cleared their positions and made about the same profit.

At this point, Du Shaojie still has one NTSE stock left in his hand. If it weren't for the ban on selling, he would have probably sold it.

He made a fortune in the stock market, but the stock price of his own [Northwest Noodle House] performed mediocrely. The company's performance was indeed good, but the market seemed uninterested, and the stock price was languishing, hovering around 7 or 8 yuan.

After the semi-annual report came out, Meng Gang convened a shareholders' meeting to review the profit distribution plan proposed by the board of directors.

This plan was discussed by him and Du Shaojie. In order to ensure the development potential of the company, the dividend is not much, only 0.30 yuan per share, but there is also a stock bonus plan of 10 shares for every 2 shares.

In general, more than half of the listed companies have been killed in seconds. After all, many companies have chosen not to distribute profits.

As soon as this plan came out, the stock price ushered in a small rally, rising from 7 yuan to 10 yuan, and the stock price finally entered the double-digit era.

Du Shaojie also had his exam day.

This time he applied for the [Senior Chinese Cooking Technician] qualification exam, which was also the last level exam in his career.

It was not as difficult as he had imagined. He could pass this exam with his eyes closed. To put it bluntly, this exam was not as difficult for him as the Level 3 chef exam.

It's not just because his technical level has reached this level, but also because his fame has long surpassed this level.

However, he still completed the exam very seriously, which was a respect for the exam format and for himself. His cooking skills had already reached the level of perfection, and all kinds of techniques were natural.

Du Shaojie obtained the level certificate of "Senior Chinese Cooking Technician" without any dispute, but this certificate has long lost its use to him and its only significance is commemorative.

He is a person who loves cooking, and by getting this certificate, at least his professional level has been completed.

"Congratulations, President Du!"

Ye Weiming and others started to make a fuss, so Du Shaojie had to set up a table in the private restaurant.

In addition to Ye Weiming, even Jiao Hongtao and Huang Yong, who were busy with work, came. Everyone thought this was a good thing, and it also showed that Du Shaojie had not forgotten his roots.

"Thank you, everyone! Come on, let's do one together."

Du Shaojie himself did not take it seriously. The [Senior Technician] level certificate was something that could be easily obtained.

It's a rare opportunity for us to get together today. Except for Lin Zhiyuan, everyone in the circle is here.

Everyone was in high spirits, and even Jiao Hongtao drank a few more glasses. However, he and Huang Yong had too much to do, so they left after sitting for an hour.

In fact, he also invited Tang Jun, but Tang Jun and his leader went to Beijing and could not come.

After eating and drinking, everyone said goodbye one after another. Ever since the incident at the resort, everyone has been very cautious about going to entertainment venues, mainly because they are afraid of bad influences.

This group of people have good self-control and have made an appointment to go fishing at the fish restaurant next week. It would be more appropriate to go there.

Du Shaojie returned home and couldn't help but sigh.

It is easy to get a professional level certificate, but it is difficult to break through the ceiling of his cooking skills.

Fortunately, he is not yet in his seventies or eighties, so he will still have opportunities in the future and does not have to be too anxious.

summer vacation.

Du Shaojie took his daughter to Hong Kong and spent a few days on a yacht on the sea.

Then comes shopping. My daughter is growing up and has her own preferences, so of course I have to buy her some things she likes.

The father and daughter stayed together for nearly a month before Du Shaojie received a call from Qi Yan, asking him to send his daughter on the plane. His daughter flew to Beijing alone.

After sending his daughter away, he hurried back to Guangzhou. Two days ago, Du Shaojie received a call from Tang Jun, asking him to take some time to go back because he needed to discuss something.

Teahouse.

Du Shaojie and Tang Jun sat opposite each other, and Tang Jun seemed to be worried.

"Boss Du, the leader is retiring. It will be announced in October at the latest."

The news that Tang Jun brought was far beyond Du Shaojie's expectations. However, such things are often very sudden, and after the shock, he slowly accepted it.

"Have you arranged your destination?"

Du Shaojie took a few sips of tea and asked where Tang Jun was going.

"I'm still hesitating. My boss asked me to go to Xijiang or Sichuan Province. I'll think about it again."

It seems that Tang Jun will not stay either. After Feng Qingsong retires, he will take up the job of washing.

Although Du Shaojie was a little reluctant, it was a common practice and he had nothing to say.

"When is the leader free? I want to personally cook a few dishes for him to show my appreciation."

"Wait for my call later. I'll contact you when I have made arrangements."

Tang Jun seemed a little absent-minded. The two of them sat in the teahouse for less than an hour before the other left first.

Du Shaojie didn't leave and continued drinking tea alone in the private room.

"Brother, come and have some fruit."

At this time, Sun Haitao walked in with a fruit plate.

Du Shaojie smiled and asked the other party to sit down. He asked about the business situation of the teahouse and the answer he got was "not bad".

The teahouse gradually gained a certain degree of popularity, and people including Ye Weiming and Jiang Dongyuan came to support it from time to time, and business was getting better and better.

The main reason is that Sun Haitao has no pressure to survive, so he won't do so many things. As long as you do business sincerely, generally speaking, your business will not be bad.

Du Shaojie and Sun Haitao chatted for more than half an hour before they got up and left.

"Boss, where are we going now?"

Du Shaojie got into the car, looked out the window, and remained silent for a long time.

Zou Xiaohe asked in a low voice, because he couldn't drive without knowing the destination.

"go home."

After Du Shaojie finished speaking, he leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.

He suddenly remembered what Feng Qingsong had said before when he asked Tang Jun to take the lead. Perhaps the other party knew that he was going to retire at that time, so he reminded him.

In the end, people still have to rely on themselves. The business world is full of unpredictable risks, so it is best not to let others catch you.

Now it seems that it was the right decision to withdraw from the KTV industry.

After a long time, Tang Jun called and said that his leader wanted to go to the private restaurant "Shenchu ​​Baiyun" for a visit.

Du Shaojie made arrangements in advance and cooked a table of dishes himself.

"Xiao Du, I heard that you have obtained the certificate of senior technician? That's not easy. The dishes you cook are not inferior to those served at state banquets at all. They are really enjoyable to eat."

Feng Qingsong seemed very relaxed and chatted with Du Shaojie about family matters.

In the past, he would definitely not come to Du Shaojie's private restaurant. But now that he was about to leave, there were some things that he didn't need to care too much about.

"Boss, when you go to Beijing, I will come to see you often. Apart from anything else, it's not easy to eat the food I cook. I'm always free."

Du Shaojie just found out that Feng Qingsong will continue to contribute his energy after leaving office, which is not what he had thought before.

"That's great! I've been tired for so many years, and now I can finally have some free time. When you go to the capital, you must look for me. I'm still looking forward to eating the food you cook."

Feng Qingsong laughed out loud and didn't feel sad at all.

Du Shaojie felt that the other person had a really good attitude. If it were him, he might be depressed for a while.

The meal lasted two hours and both the guests and the hosts enjoyed it very much.

Feng Qingsong didn't let him see him off, and left directly with Tang Jun. He didn't explain anything today, on the one hand, he believed in Du Shaojie's ability, on the other hand, wasn't there Lin Zhiyuan?

Lin Zhiyuan will continue to stay in his current position, and his status in the province will be further improved.

After Feng Qingsong left Guangdong Province, Pang Weidong and Xu Bo accelerated their pace of exiting the KTV industry.

Yin Qiang's attitude suddenly became tough, and he planned to acquire Yuedong Entertainment at a lower price to build his own entertainment empire.

"That bastard, does he think our backer has fallen? Ugh."

Pang Weidong ignored the other party and suddenly sold the 10 KTVs and 10 buffet restaurants in a package to a company with foreign background.

After the transaction was completed, he called Du Shaojie. (End of this chapter)
