Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

“Wynn, we can now confirm that the Wang family has a company in Hong Kong called [Longsheng Trading] that specializes in importing medicines, consumables, and medical devices.

Now it seems that Wang Dongming's company is just a smokescreen, and the Wang family does not want others to know the background of [Longsheng Trading]. You should go back to the mainland immediately and check the sales channels of [Longsheng Trading]. "

Apart from Leung Mei-kam, the person Du Shaojie trusts the most is Wang Yongli.

Wang Yongli had done a lot of private work for him, his status was higher than Zhong Qing, and his ability was enough to stand on his own.

Wang Yongli turned and left without saying a word. He had his own information channels in the mainland, and he had ways to investigate things like this.

three days later.

Wang Yongli returned to Hong Kong.

"Boss, Longsheng Trading has close ties with a new specialty medicine company in Shenzhen. I suspect that company is also owned by the Wang family. That company has established a sales network across the country, and has introduced drugs to major hospitals and clinics through medical representatives, and even directly supplies patients."

Wang Yongli then submitted an investigation report to Du Shaojie.

Du Shaojie read it and was very satisfied. This report is not useful for the time being, but when the time is right, it may give the Wang family a big surprise.

"Well done. Have you arranged for follow-up?"

"It has been arranged. Someone will continue to monitor their movements."

"Well, go back and ask Luo Qin for some funding. I don't care about the details, but I must establish solid evidence."

"Okay, boss."

Du Shaojie approved 50 yuan of funding for Wang Yongli, but he had to wait until he returned to the mainland to receive it.

In addition, he has been free recently, but everyone around him has been working hard, so he approved another 10 yuan bonus and asked Luo Qin to distribute it.

Luo Qin is equivalent to the chief housekeeper and has considerable power in her hands. No wonder she is unwilling to work in a company as a senior executive.

noon.

Du Shaojie invited two big lawyers to dinner. These two people are the legal advisers of [Dingxin International], or to put it bluntly, they are his personal lawyers.

He wanted to learn about the local laws regarding drugs, but after listening to the two people's introduction, he felt that some of his previous ideas were not feasible. After all, the laws in Hong Kong are very different from those in the mainland and cannot be generalized.

After dinner, he went to look at his property.

After the Asian financial crisis, the local property market experienced a sharp decline. During this period, Du Shaojie bought a lot of storefronts, commercial buildings and office buildings at low prices.

He followed the advice of his lawyer and registered a catering management company in Hong Kong, and all the stores were managed by the newly registered company.

Then he plans to open a few more stores in Hong Kong.

He will not create a new sub-brand, but an extension of the original brand. He does not have such big ambitions and cannot cover all major cuisines.

"Yimei, please notify Feng Bin and ask him and Wang Linqiu to come to my place."

The preparations were basically ready, and Du Shaojie called Feng Bin and Wang Linqiu.

He planned to let Feng Bin serve as the manager of the newly established [Bailian Catering (Xiangjiang) Management Company]. The company's specifications were equivalent to those of a regional company in the mainland and its status was very important.

In addition, Wang Linqiu was appointed as deputy manager.

Although Wang Qiulin was a rebel from Li Changsong, he was very capable. And after observing him for so many years, he was still useful.

With Feng Bin suppressing the opponent, they will never be able to turn the tables.

Afterwards, the three of them discussed the pace of expansion. Feng Bin and Wang Linqiu were very excited. Hong Kong would be the key development area in the future, after all, all the brands in the mainland had basically stopped expanding.

"I'll leave the details to you. You won't let me down, right?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Du, we will definitely do it well."

Feng Bin and Wang Linqiu seem very confident. They have already taken root in the local area and naturally hope to grow bigger and stronger.

As for the chef of the new store, Du Shaojie doesn't need to worry about it. [Bailian Catering] has a lot of talented people over there, so it's no problem to transfer a group of people over.

Other personnel can be recruited locally, which is also subject to requirements.

Next, Feng Bin and Wang Linqiu began to expand. Du Shaojie stayed here and went to the new store to take a look and help train the kitchen staff when he was free.

It was not until he received a call from Lin Zhiyuan's secretary that he returned to Yangcheng with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

"Mr. Du, the matter has been resolved. I hope you can continue to contribute to the construction of Yangcheng."

Lin Zhiyuan and Du Shaojie had a meal together, and he implicitly suggested that the other party let go of the grudge with the Wang family.

The Wang family is still very powerful. After failing to acquire Bailian Catering, someone acted as a middleman and they hooked up with Yin Qiang.

Yin Qiang had suffered some losses before, but that incident had nothing to do with the Wang family.

The two parties cooperated to separate the buffet and establish a new restaurant chain.

The Wang family agreed not to target Du Shaojie anymore, on the condition that Du Shaojie would not retaliate again.

This is equivalent to the Wang family taking the initiative to provoke others, and when they saw that they could not gain any advantage, they retreated, and even asked a strong person to come forward to dispel the other party's desire for revenge. "Whatever you say, I have not been in the mood to argue with the other party in the past year or two."

Du Shaojie knew that Lin Zhiyuan was doing this for his own good. After all, the Wang family was very powerful, and if he confronted them head-on, he would end up in trouble.

So he gave the other side a face and promised not to take the initiative to provoke a war within one or two years. As for one or two years later, who can say for sure?
Lin Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head. He was happy to report to Du Shaojie with this attitude. As for what would happen in one or two years, he didn't bother to care.

The Wang family is arrogant and domineering. If you walk on the road too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts.

"I heard that you reorganized the company? Well done, this is the way to solve the problem once and for all. Although false registered capital, fake joint ventures, arbitrage and other behaviors are not advisable, we should look at the problem based on the historical conditions at that time.

Now that you have sorted out these things, no one will bother you with this matter in the future. I guess you don’t have any black history. Just do your business honestly and pay taxes according to the law, and don’t worry about anything else. ”

Lin Zhiyuan knew Du Shaojie, a guy who was obsessed with cooking.

In fact, the other party has a good business sense and a good investment talent. If he can be more attentive, he can at least double his wealth, not to mention the richest man in the mainland.

Of course, everything has two sides, and he thinks that Du Shaojie, who has no desires, is also good.

After dinner, Du Shaojie returned home, still feeling uneasy.

It is impossible for him to have a real reconciliation with the Wang family. Now everyone is keeping to themselves, but there will definitely be conflicts in the future.

The Wang family already has two elites on the surface. Both Wang Dongming and Wang Dongxu fell into his hands. The Wang family will surely not forget this account.

Time flies.

Xiangjiang’s expansion plan has been completed, and business has been booming since the opening of each store.

[Huanyu Communications] successfully spun off its walkie-talkie business and PHS business and established a new company, [Huanyu Communications (Shencheng) Co., Ltd.].

The parent company was renamed [Universal Communications Group Corporation].

Recently, it is the critical moment for [Universal Communications Co., Ltd.] to go public. For the sake of damn performance, Liu Zijian personally went to various places to promote the product.

Sun Zhenguo continued to organize technical personnel to conduct public relations in the company, but it was really difficult to bypass the technological barriers that had already been formed by foreign communication giants.

But there are also benefits. One is that it trains the R&D team, and the other is that it accumulates experience.

At this stage, design and production have not yet been separated, so Huanyu Communications is an asset-heavy enterprise, with eight modern factories alone.

The company's high-quality assets were divested, and Sun Zhenguo felt under tremendous pressure.

One day, a customer came to the company and asked if it could produce mobile phones under its own brand.

There is definitely no problem with this. The company used to only produce its own products, but apparently the construction of the mobile phone production line was ahead of schedule, and the company’s current mobile phone sales have failed to keep up with the pace of production line construction.

If it were in the past, Sun Zhenguo would not even consider it, but now he hesitated.

Then, he tentatively asked about the price, and the other party offered a good price for OEM production. Considering that the parent company was now on the verge of loss, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

Only afterwards did he inform Liu Zijian and Du Shaojie.

Liu Zijian often stayed in Hong Kong during this period, busy with the company's preparations before listing. Du Shaojie was not in charge of specific matters and had no objection to his decisions.

“Are copycat phones starting to gain momentum?”

Du Shaojie remembers this. In the second half of the feature phone era, various copycat phones were popular, which actually promoted the rapid popularization of mobile phones.

He never thought about making copycat phones, but there was no problem with OEM production.

Liu Zijian is a typical businessman. He is a true Hong Konger and never objects to anything that can make money.

[Huanyu Communications]'s own-brand mobile phones survive in the cracks between foreign giants. A victory is to ensure that they do not lose money. On the contrary, they can make some money by doing OEM for others.

This is ironic, but the company's three major shareholders have never thought of backing down.

One month later.

【Universal Communications (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.】 was listed in Hong Kong. In view of the good market performance of PHS and walkie-talkies, the listed public shares were successfully issued at a high premium.

The company raised HK$12.65 billion, far exceeding expectations.

"Mr. Du, we will build two new production lines and acquire the R&D center and mobile phone business of our parent company."

Du Shaojie went to Hong Kong to attend the listing bell ringing ceremony and the subsequent cocktail party.

The successful listing of a company is only the first step, and the subsequent development is the key. The parent company will not embezzle the funds of the listed company, but related transactions are still allowed.

After returning to Shenzhen, the three held a meeting to discuss the next action plan.

"I agree to expand the scale of production, but the factory can be moved out of Shenzhen. It doesn't have to be in Shenzhen. Also, it's a bit early to acquire the mobile phone business. Let's wait and see."

Du Shaojie basically agreed to the plan, but the acquisition of the mobile phone business could be postponed.

After all, the mobile phone business is still a drag, and unless you do not plan to refinance, you must consider the performance of the listed company. (End of this chapter)
