Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 526: Hidden Investment Master

The daily maintenance and security of the house are handed over to Wang Yongli, who is also his assistant and focuses more on life and security.

Therefore, Wang Yongli actually has a lot of people under him, not just Zou Xiaohe, Peng Yongjun and a few others. There is also a group of people working silently behind the scenes. Otherwise, wouldn’t Du Shaojie’s many properties across the country be wasted?
noon.

Luo Xingye arrived at the old street as promised. When he entered, he saw a clean and tidy courtyard and a small building without any special features.

"Boss Du, you're going to live here? Isn't this too simple?"

This courtyard is a lifelong pursuit for ordinary people, but for someone of Du Shaojie's status, it is a bit inappropriate.

Luo Xingye grew up in a large family in Hong Kong and went abroad to study as an adult. He could not quite understand this low-key style of doing things.

"It's not that I'm deliberately keeping a low profile. This is where I've lived since I came to Yangcheng. I've lived here for many years and have developed feelings for it. Don't look at me like that. We have other places to live in Yangcheng."

Du Shaojie asked Li Yimei to help him greet the guests, and then went into the kitchen to cook.

Now, Luo Xingye found it even more incredible. It was hard for him to combine a billionaire with a man who cooked for his family. Even though he was not valued in the family, he had never done housework since he was a child.

Later, Li Yimei brought tea.

Luo Xingye only took a sip and his eyes lit up. This is definitely good tea. A can of this kind of tea can buy a moderately sized apartment in Guangzhou.

In his heart, he immediately retracted his evaluation of someone's "simple" character. As the saying goes, the real beauty lies not in the folds. Mr. Du's life is not simple at all.

Du Shaojie quickly prepared several dishes and then called Luo Xingye to eat.

Luo Xingye sat at the dinner table and saw all kinds of spicy and numbing smells rushing into his head.

On the table were the [Signature Maoxuewang], [Daqian Dry-fried Fish], [Spicy Flower Snails], [Stir-fried Kidney and Liver], [Braised Pork with Abalone], [Boiled Shrimp], as well as [Braised Platter] and [Assorted Vegetarian Dishes].

Fortunately, there are a few non-spicy dishes.

Luo Xingye couldn't eat very spicy food, which was fine once in a while, but it was rare for him to meet Chef Du himself cooking, so he always wanted to eat something more comfortable.

Du Shaojie asked Wang Yongli and the others to go to the kitchen to serve the dishes themselves. The portions of the dishes he cooked were very large, and the dishes for himself and his guests were served in small plates, but they still couldn't finish them.

"Boss Luo, come, let's have a drink together. I wish your business will prosper."

After they sat down, they drank a glass of wine first, and then Luo Xingye started to eat the food impatiently.

The taste of the dishes really didn't disappoint him. Even the spicy dishes, he still ate them. Don't ask why. The answer is that they were so delicious that he couldn't stop eating them.

After tasting every dish, Luo Xingye picked up the wine glass and drank the second glass.

Du Shaojie opened a bottle of Moutai at noon, as he himself liked it, but Luo Xingye was used to drinking foreign liquor and red wine, and his fighting ability was not very good, so as the host he stopped urging him to drink.

"The factory has already started construction and will be completed and put into production before the end of the year. However, I am a little short of funds. I wonder if Mr. Du is willing to introduce me to some investors?"

After three rounds of drinks, Luo Xingye got to the point.

Before he went north, he estimated that he might not have enough funds, but he was thinking of taking out a loan in the mainland at that time, so he didn't take it too seriously.

As a result, he was not able to obtain a loan in the local area. The bank did not reject his application, but only had one requirement: the loan could only be granted after the factory was capped and the equipment was put into operation.

This unexpected change made him very upset, and his partners also pointed out that the scale of his newly built factory was not large enough and it would be best to double the production capacity.

So he thought of financing, and financing requires connections, so he first came to Du Shaojie. After all, he didn't know much about Du Shaojie's status in the domestic catering industry, but he knew the weight of [Dingxin International].

[Dingxin International] is well-known in Hong Kong's investment community, and its business in the Mainland is also booming.

Luo Xingye naturally would not go to some strange company, but would come directly to Du Shaojie.

"The funding issue is easy to talk about. I'll have someone talk to you later. Let's not talk about work now. The first priority is to eat and drink well. Come on, fill up your glasses and do another one."

Du Shaojie smiled slightly. Luo Xingye had been briefed to him before, and he knew that the other party did not have much funds.

It is normal to raise funds when doing business outside. Even if the company has the financial ability, it will often introduce a few powerful shareholders.

Du Shaojie was too lazy to discuss the details with the other party and kept asking Luo Xingye to eat more vegetables.

Basically, he only drinks a little bit of alcohol. He doesn't want to get the other person drunk, which would make the situation difficult to resolve.

The next day.

The manager of [Huaxin Investment] started investment negotiations with Luo Xingye. Huaxin is a domestic enterprise, but that does not prevent it from investing in Luo Xingye's company.

Two days later, Pang Weidong and Xu Bo also came over.

[Yuedong Entertainment] Now that it has become a "cash cow" with super high profitability, both of them are very interested in investment projects.

However, these two people are not stupid and rich. If anyone wants to cheat them, he should first consider whether his IQ is high enough and secondly whether he is tough enough.

They can now be called "investment experts", after all, they have countless successful investment cases. Du Shaojie didn't want to worry too much, and after Huaxin's manager was authorized, he fully demonstrated the style of a professional investor and forced Luo Xingye to give in in many interest links.

Pang Weidong and the other man were no less enthusiastic. After a while of discussion, they soon signed a financing agreement.

Luo Xingye was very satisfied. Although the other party was very difficult to deal with in terms of valuation and return rate, and he had to make concessions, the other party had no interest in the control of the company and would not challenge his position.

And this is what he values ​​most.

After the agreement was signed, Du Shaojie, Pang Weidong and Xu Bo jointly invested 1 million yuan in Luo Xingye’s company and acquired 27% of the company’s shares.

After getting the money, Luo Xingye directly doubled the scale of the factory. The second phase of the project was immediately launched, and the third phase of the project also passed the demonstration and will start construction this fall.

It didn’t take long before the equipment ordered by Luo Xingye had been shipped. The reason for such high efficiency was that he was thinking about the equipment orders for the second and third phase projects.

Early summer.

Du Shaojie and Qi Yan met in Chengdu.

The daughter returned to the capital after only staying for a few days. The two of them had a rare opportunity to enjoy their own world and spent more than half a month here.

After Qi Yan left, Du Shaojie was not in a hurry to leave.

He developed several new varieties with his partners in Sichuan snacks and learned a lot of useful things from them.

He is actually not needed for this matter, he just joined in because he was interested.

It just so happened that the families of Liao Yongxin and Zhou Huai'en were also in Chengdu during this period. He often took time to chat with the two old comrades, which made them very happy.

It’s quite interesting to say that Liao Yongxin and Zhou Huai’en always quarreled whenever they were together, but they had a very good relationship. The two families often went out traveling together and were together almost everywhere they went.

In addition, when he has time, he will also go to Yi Chunmei for tea.

After Yi Chunmei's cooking school was acquired by Beichen Education, she did nothing else but drink tea and play cards every day, living a life like a god.

She has a small share in [Beichen Education], and thanks to these shares, she will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

Although this city is not considered a first-tier city in China, life here is very comfortable. Apart from the climate, Du Shaojie really likes it here.

During this period, both Li Ershao and Yin Qiang were very quiet.

Du Shaojie had a period of leisure time like this, but he couldn't sit idle all day, so he began his routine inspections, starting from the southwest area.

Many people could not understand Du Shaojie's lax state. Even Liao Yongxin felt that his apprentice should be more diligent and continue to make Bailian Catering bigger and stronger.

Only Du Shaojie himself understands that he has reached the ceiling of the catering industry. Let alone further expansion, it will be difficult to even hold on to the current fruits of his labor.

Besides, few people outside know how amazing his achievements in the investment field are.

The shares he has hidden in every corner can generate a huge amount of cash by selling any part of them.

But he won't argue with anyone, after all he has to walk his own path.

Du Shaojie and his party traveled around Bashu and then went to Chang'an.

[Beichen Education] has a large-scale teaching base here, which continuously supplies various types of talents to [Northwest Noodle House] every year.

The success of [Northwest Noodle House] is not only due to the outstanding ability of its management, but also reflects the profound food culture heritage of the Sanqin area.

After all, the main varieties of noodle shops are all from the Sanqin area.

His visit this time is a little different from previous times. Previously, because of inspections, he basically stayed in big cities.

After this inspection, he took Wang Yongli and others to some small places to look for local specialties.

He learned how to make [saozi noodles] from people in the countryside, and also learned how to make [liangpi] from people in a small county town, and he enjoyed it.

However, the scenery of the Loess Plateau still seems too desolate, and people in many places there live a hard life.

He couldn't help but think of a movie where a rich man who wanted to experience life was thrown into the countryside here. A month later, when he saw meat, his eyes lit up.

The local problems may not be gradually resolved until 10 to 20 years later, and he personally does not have the ability to do so.

However, he did not do nothing.

He visited everywhere in the county, and no matter what snack he wanted to learn, there would always be someone willing to share their experience with him.

When he left, he donated a primary school to the county in his own name. Studying hard can change the fate of many people, which is also his expectation.

"Boss, where are we going next?"
