Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Du Shaojie was very happy that he could deal with these landlords.

It is best not to move. As a normal business, the most feared thing is unexpected events that cannot be controlled. Moving in a hurry now is not conducive to the development of the business.

Now that the contract has been re-signed, we will wait until the new lease expires.

To be honest, he didn't really want to use the storefronts provided by those bosses. In business, some things are better left pure to avoid complicating matters.

Of course, since they have shown goodwill by standing by their side this time, Du Shaojie will also give something in return.

In the future, as long as it does not affect your own interests, it is only natural for everyone to help each other. You can also interact more often in normal times. There is no other way, people in the business world still have to have necessary social interactions.

Next, he was busy attending various cocktail parties and dinners, among which he dealt with Luo Xingye the most.

Luo Xingye is the second son of the second branch of the Luo family and is not valued in the family. He is only in his thirties and naturally does not want to live a life of idleness, so he wants to go to the mainland to fight for his fortune.

That day, Luo Xingye called Du Shaojie and invited him to dinner again.

Over a period of time, the two of them had eaten and drank together quite often, and their relationship became much closer.

Du Shaojie did not refuse and came to a Chaozhou restaurant in the evening.

"Excuse me sir, do you have a reservation?"

The receptionist greeted Du Shaojie carefully. It was obvious that the other party was not an ordinary person and he had a very strong aura.

"Mr. Luo booked a private room."

Du Shaojie smiled and then reported Luo Xingye's name.

The receptionist did not dare to be negligent. She bowed slightly and led the other party to the second floor.

When Du Shaojie arrived at the private room, he saw Luo Xingye and two girls already sitting there. When they saw him, the three of them quickly stood up and came forward to greet him.

"Let's not talk about business today. These two are the winners and runners-up of this year's Miss Hong Kong pageant. They came here to join in the fun. Please don't mind."

Luo Xingye and Du Shaojie shook hands and briefly introduced the identities of the two Hong Kong sisters.

Then the guests and hosts took their seats and the waiters began to serve wine and food.

Du Shaojie has attended quite a few social events recently, and situations similar to today's are not uncommon. He has also met a lot of Hong Kong's popular female stars, and he soon started chatting and laughing with the champion girl.

The runner-up girl is busy taking care of Luo Xingye. Even though this guy is not valued in the family, he is very popular outside.

The Luo family is very famous and has a deeper foundation than the Li family. Therefore, the runner-up lady wanted to stick to the other party. If there were no outsiders, she would probably have squatted under the table.

The champion girl was not so explicit, but the emotional value she output was no less. She deliberately followed Du Shaojie's topic and did not forget to serve him food and drinks.

The meal was very enjoyable. Du Shaojie and Luo Xingye chatted about some irrelevant topics, and with two girls helping to adjust the atmosphere, there was constant laughter in the private room.

"Mr. Du, I drank a little too much today. Why don't we go out to sea on your yacht tomorrow? Do you two want to go? If you want to go, you have to go early tomorrow."

Originally, Luo Xingye said that there were no follow-up arrangements today, and the two girls were quite disappointed.

As a result, this guy changed the subject and said that he wanted to go out to sea tomorrow, which immediately aroused their interest.

Du Shaojie had no objection, so he set a time to go out to sea with the other party, and then they left the private room and went home.

The next day was a sunny day. Du Shaojie, Luo Xingye and two girls went to the vast ocean together, enjoying the sunshine, sea breeze and delicious food.

The figures of the two girls were clearly visible in their swimsuits, and with the deliberate flattery of the two men, Du Shaojie and Luo Xingye both had a lot of fun.

The purpose of going out for fun is to have fun. There is no need to be serious all the time. You should relax when you need to.

When they returned to the dock, the two girls left happily. It seemed that the "little gifts" that Luo Xingye prepared for them made them very satisfied.

"Boss Du, shall we go have a cup of coffee?"

"Okay, you have the final say."

After getting ashore, Du Shaojie followed Luo Xingye to a cafe.

He had been busy eating, drinking and having fun these past two days, and he knew that Luo Xingye was probably going to talk about serious business.

Sure enough, not long after sitting down, the other party said:

"Boss Du, to be honest with you, although I look glamorous on the surface, I don't actually have much money. I plan to develop inland, but I don't have sufficient funds. I want to sell the three shops under my name. Are you interested?"

The three storefronts owned by Luo Xingye are his main source of income.

He had run other businesses over the years and saved some money through hard work, but it was still not enough for him to develop his business in the north, so he planned to sell the storefront.

The reason for looking for Du Shaojie was mainly because the other party had the ability to take over, and also because there was an intention to show goodwill to the other party.

"That's fine with me. Just follow the market price. But, Mr. Luo, have you really thought it through? There are still risks in developing in the north. I hope you don't ignore this issue."

Of course there is no problem with Du Shaojie's side. It's just three storefronts, no big deal.

However, as a drinking buddy, he still did his duty to remind her. "I've thought about it. I won't regret it no matter whether I succeed or fail."

Luo Xingye was not valued in the family and had been holding a grudge for a long time.

In the blink of an eye, he is about to reach middle age, and he is determined to give it a try and not leave any regrets.

Du Shaojie nodded and said no more. Given their relationship, he would not ask about the matter, as long as the other party would not regret it in the future.

Besides, it’s just a small matter, he won’t take it to heart.

After the two men had reached an agreement, Du Shaojie took over the three shops in his own name. These shops were in good locations and large enough to be used as restaurants.

The final transaction price was HK$7500 million, which was a very fair price.

After finishing this matter, he spent two days with Liang Meiqun, and then went to Shenzhen with Luo Xingye.

In Shenzhen, Du Shaojie introduced Yu Mo to the other party.

Yu Mo was very familiar with the electronics industry, and he shared his experiences during the meal, which made Luo Xingye feel very rewarding.

"Momo, Mr. Luo is my friend, you have to take care of him in the future."

After dinner, Du Shaojie said something specifically to Yu Mo.

Luo Xingye's three storefronts would be of great use in the future, and since he accepted this favor, he would naturally return the favor. It just so happened that the other party wanted to invest in an electronics factory in the mainland, so he returned the favor.

"Okay, okay. Since you are Ajie's friend, you can come to me if you encounter any difficulties in the future. I will definitely help you if I can."

For Du Shaojie's sake, Yu Mo said this sincerely.

Luo Xingye was overjoyed. He had heard of the name of [Dongsheng Electronics]. With these words from the other party, he could avoid many detours in his line of work.

"Thank you, Mr. Yu!"

Luo Xingye expressed his gratitude to Yu Mo. As for Du Shaojie, he didn't say anything, but he remembered the favor.

Afterwards, Du Shaojie returned to Guangzhou, and Luo Xingye conducted inspections in Shenzhen and Dongguan.

As expected, Luo Xingye encountered some trouble in Dongguan City. The project conflicted with other people, which made him miserable. In the end, it was Du Shaojie who came forward to find Lin Zhiyuan to solve the key problem.

Luo Xingye's company mainly produces accessories related to personal computers, including motherboards, graphics cards and sound cards.

When he was studying abroad, he built up some connections, and the reason for his development in the north this time has a lot to do with these connections. He currently has a large number of orders in hand, although he is doing OEM for others, but the start is still very smooth.

The important factor hindering its development is funding.

After Du Shaojie returned to Guangzhou, he calmed down. He had been in Hong Kong for a while and had a lot of social events, so he needed to rest in peace.

Nowadays, Luo Qinbang helps him deal with many things. The outside world knows that Assistant Luo is Du Shaojie's agent, and she can make the final decision on some unimportant matters.

Li Yimei is his secretary and helps him handle a lot of administrative work.

He is the boss with the most free time, at least he can have free time. Anyway, from the beginning, he gave people the impression that he was not so dedicated. Tianran’s business empire has been running until now, and has formed a set of effective management systems.

To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter if he is there or not at normal times, but he can come out to take charge of the situation at critical moments.

"Boss, this is the monthly report of [Northwest Noodle House] last month."

At this time of year, it is still relatively cool in the north, but it is getting hot in the south.

After breakfast, Du Shaojie was reading under a big tree in the yard. Li Yimei came over and handed him a stack of reports.

She put down the book in her hand, picked up the report and read it slowly. She felt that the operation of [Northwest Noodle House] had stabilized. The company had absorbed [Fast Food Chain] and [Sichuan Snacks] successively, and it took a long time to digest them thoroughly.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Du Shaojie then called several senior executives of the listed company and gave them some compliments.

He usually doesn't interfere in the affairs of listed companies, but he appointed Luo Qin to a director position in the company, so he has to be involved in any major events.

After the call, he felt itchy and asked Wang Yongli to get some ingredients to cook a few dishes for lunch.

His cooking skills are beyond doubt, and he has already reached the top of the industry. But he has not been able to make a breakthrough for such a long time, and has only honed his skills to be more perfect, showing the style of a master.

Near noon, when he was preparing to heat up the pan and cook, he received a call from Luo Xingye.

"Boss Du, what are you busy with? I'm in Yangcheng on some business today. If it's convenient, I'd like to come and see you."

"You really know how to pick a time. I'm just about to start cooking. Come on over, I'll wait for you to have lunch together."

When Du Shaojie was in Yangcheng, he would live in the old street most of the time. Only when Qi Yan and her daughter came back would he live in the villa with his family.

In fact, he also has a villa in Overseas Chinese New Village. He lived there when he just got married, but now he only goes there to stay for two days occasionally.

He didn't rent out the house in Donghu New Village. It wasn't a question of whether he was short of money or not. If he rented it out to others, he would have to sell it later. There was no need to go through all this trouble. (End of this chapter)
