Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 482: Stay out of the spotlight and make a little money
Du Shaojie smiled and waved, then left the training center.

night.

He set up a table at the fish restaurant and invited Jiang Dongyuan, Ye Weiming and others to dinner.

He fulfilled his promise to Jiang Dongyuan and cooked a table of Huaiyang cuisine himself.

"Old Jiang, we are really benefiting from you today, otherwise how could we eat the dishes cooked by President Du himself? Speaking of which, President Du, you rarely cook in recent years. Are you becoming more and more arrogant?"

Ye Weiming and Du Shaojie have always had a good relationship, but even he cannot always eat the dishes cooked by the other.

It’s not that Du Shaojie is arrogant. He has a lot of talented people under him now, so he usually doesn’t need to take action himself.

"Mr. Du, thank you, thank you! Come, let's have a drink together."

Jiang Dongyuan felt very honored and raised his glass to clink with everyone.

Then everyone drank a glass of wine together and continued to eat.

At this time, Huang Yong arrived late and apologized as soon as he entered the door: "I'm sorry, everyone. I'm a little busy today and I'm late. As usual, I'll drink three cups as a punishment."

Huang Yong was quite well-behaved. He drank three cups in a row as soon as he sat down.

Du Shaojie quickly asked him to eat more food, and he couldn't stop eating, and kept praising the food while eating.

"Boss Du, it's a good thing you retired from the KTV industry. The new guy hates the chaos in the entertainment industry and plans to clean it up."

Huang Yong was full, put down his chopsticks and said something casually.

Du Shaojie and others were stunned for a moment, thinking that this successor was indeed courageous, but they didn't know whether he could do what he said.

Ye Weiming looked at Du Shaojie meaningfully, the meaning of which was self-evident.

However, no one responded, and Huang Yong did not mention the matter again after he finished speaking, as if no one had heard it.

Later, Huang Yong and others left one after another.

Ye Weiming and Du Shaojie walked at the end, and they got into Zou Xiaohe's car together.

"Boss Du, please be careful recently. It seems that person is a little dissatisfied with you."

"Dissatisfied? I don't even know him. I'm just doing business honestly. What reason does he have to be dissatisfied with me? Mr. Ye, you are overthinking it."

"Don't worry about whether you are being suspicious or not. Anyway, it's better to be cautious."

"Yeah, I will."

Halfway through the journey, Ye Weiming asked Zou Xiaohe to stop the car, then got into his own car and drove away.

Du Shaojie felt that Ye Weiming's reminder was not groundless, and he really needed to be careful. The man might be dissatisfied with Feng Qingsong, and the first person to be troubled was Lin Zhiyuan, and he was likely to be caught in the crossfire.

All of them are regarded as Lin Zhiyuan's confidants and have been very close to him over the years.

It is not easy for anyone to get out of this situation now. The best way is to be patient and wait and see.

He now had to admire Feng Qingsong's sophistication. After all, he had a long-term vision and advised him to quit the KTV industry early on. It was not that he couldn't do this industry, but the weaknesses of this industry were too obvious and it was easy for others to catch him.

"I have now successfully withdrawn from the resort and KTV industry. If others want to use this as an excuse, it is no longer a threat. I should think twice before doing anything in the future and try not to cause trouble for myself."

Du Shaojie didn't have anything to worry about, he just felt a little unhappy.

So, after a few days, he simply went to Hong Kong to get out of sight and out of mind. Anyway, he could remotely control the companies under his control through [Dingxin International], so he didn't have to stay in Guangzhou.

"Boss Du, there have been a lot of people from the entertainment industry coming to us recently, wanting us to invest in film and television production. I think the waters of this industry are too deep, so I didn't get involved."

When Du Shaojie arrived in Hong Kong, Winnie reported something to him.

In fact, from his point of view, he has no plans to invest in movies or TV dramas. He will wait until the right time to invest in a shopping website. The major trends after the millennium are equivalent to seizing the initiative.

He has a lot of real estate in the Mainland and Hong Kong. To put it bluntly, he can live comfortably for the rest of his life by just lying down and living as a homeowner.

"Winnie, you're right. We won't get involved in the film and television industry in the future."

Du Shaojie nodded, approving of Winnie's approach.

The company has basically formed two major forces now. Some people are around Winnie, some are around Fan Shilun, and the rest are neutral.

Liang Meiqin does not need her own strength. She is equivalent to an invisible "boss lady" and often appears as a "referee".

Fortunately, Winnie and Fan Shilun were competing conscientiously and never let their fighting affect their work, so Du Shaojie didn't bother to care about them. As long as these people didn't touch the personnel and financial power, they could do whatever they wanted.

After Winnie left, Fan Shilun knocked on the door and walked in.

"Mr. Du, I have a suggestion that you might as well listen to. I always feel that the Internet industry will have great development in the future. The tragic decline in the past two years is actually deflating the bubble.

When the bubble is almost squeezed out, the entire industry will develop healthily and rapidly. I think we can invest in some Internet technology stocks. As long as we control the scale and improve the risk control system, we will definitely make huge profits. "

Like Winnie, Fan Shilun would not complain about the other in front of the boss. He came to Du Shaojie because of the investment bargain hunting, hoping that the boss could change some of his ideas.

“Your idea is good, but it may be quite difficult to implement in practice. In fact, I invested in U.S. stocks many years ago, and the three stocks I hold have brought excess returns to the company.

But I'm still not going to sell it. I didn't invest much at the time, and I can make it back just by taking the dividends. What about you? Are you mentally prepared for long-term investment?"

Du Shaojie doesn't talk about details, he only talks about principles.

So, others are speculating in stocks while he is investing. In other words, others are doing short-term investment while he is doing long-term investment.

"This"

The boss's problem obviously exceeded Fan Shilun's expectations. How could he do long-term investment? He planned to buy at the bottom and wait for a rebound, and then leave the market when he made enough profit.

Doing super long-term investment is a thankless job. When will he see the results? Maybe he will not be in the company by the time the harvest comes.

"I have previously invested in three major portal websites in the mainland, and I sold the stocks of two of them when they were first listed. What are the current prices of these two stocks?"

Du Shaojie did not make things difficult for Fan Shilun. He changed the subject and asked other questions.

Fan Shilun has indeed paid attention to Chinese stocks listed on the Nasdaq, but the stocks of the three major portals are not doing well and have now fallen below $2.

"Boss, there are actually better targets."

"Of course I know there are better targets, such as AMZN and AAPL. Or the question I just asked, can you hold and roll over for a long time?"

If Du Shaojie asked again, Fan Shilun would have to express his opinion.

So he said that he could hold for a long time and do rolling operations, and he also recognized AMZN and AAPL. One of these two companies is the future leader in e-commerce, and the other is the leader in smartphones.

"Okay, I'll give you $2000 million to invest in North American stocks, but only in leading Internet technology stocks. Your inspection cycle will be one year, and you don't need to sell your stocks. Your performance will be calculated based on the book value."

Du Shaojie did not keep the other party in suspense any longer and explained the rules of performance appraisal.

Fan Shilun was very disappointed just now, but the boss suddenly gave him a surprise. He believed in his own vision and believed that he would get more benefits than most people could imagine in the future.

He didn't think much about the $2000 million limit, as it was already a good amount.

Afterwards, Fan Shilun left the chairman's office.

Du Shaojie felt that the time was ripe to buy back SINA and SOHU stocks. He did not use the account of Dingxin International, but used Huaxin Investment and his own, Qi Yan's and Liang Meiqin's personal accounts.

He gave orders to the company's traders to buy the two stocks below $2 and sell them as the price dropped.

Du Shaojie was not greedy and only needed to buy 200 million shares of each company.

The trading volume of SINA and SOHU was not large during this period, so it took patience to buy in. Not long after he entered the market, the stock prices of these two companies fell below $1, and negative rumors continued to spread in the market.

In the end, he completed the position at an average price of $1.35.

Then he locked the account and left the rest to time. He would not leave the market without a profit of dozens or hundreds of times. With only five or six million US dollars in capital, he would take a big risk.

As for why he didn't invest more, one reason is that too much money might trigger the restriction mechanism, and another reason is that he was afraid that investing too much would affect the final trend of the stock price and he would be slaughtered like a fat pig.

This kind of profit is external wealth and should not be taken too seriously.

Du Shaojie gradually replicated all of his sub-brands in Hong Kong, and took advantage of the last wave of the Asian financial crisis that caused a sharp drop in housing prices to buy a number of storefronts.

Now these stores are generating more and more profits for him, and they are a long-term, steady stream, and are not necessarily worse than other risky businesses.

This method of making money is the safest and the probability of losing money is very low.

He stayed in Hong Kong for quite a long time. Qi Yan and her daughter took advantage of the holiday to reunite with him, and the family also traveled to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

The province's cleanup of KTVs and other entertainment venues is still ongoing, and it seems that some people are not just talking, but are serious about it.

But at this point, some things can no longer be carried out.

After Qi Yan and her daughter left Hong Kong and returned to Beijing, Pang Weidong made a special visit.

"What do you call this? This is what they call incomplete cleaning, which is equivalent to no cleaning at all. Yin Qiang suffered a lot of losses in the KTV karaoke halls in the province before, but now he is making a fortune, isn't he?"

Pang Weidong mentioned Yin Qiang. That guy was dealt a bad hand in his stores in the province, and there were even rumors that they were going to arrest him.

As a result, this guy ran to Bangkok and hid for a while. After he came back, he not only did what he was supposed to do, but he even became worse.

This matter was destined to end in failure. A lot of mosquitoes were killed by swatting, but the big ones were all fine.

"So you won't bring up the past, then?"

"Of course, the current ones are fine. How can we convince people by bringing up the past, right?"
