Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Du Shaojie followed Bao Youzhi around the factory and learned in detail about the factory buildings, equipment, processes, sales, as well as cost and profit issues.

Luo Qin took notes on the side. This matter had nothing to do with Wu Chenggang, so the other party did not come either.

After visiting the factory and various facilities, the group came to the office building. It was a five-story building with simple interior decoration. Drinks and some fruit snacks were already prepared in the conference room.

"Manager Bao, what is the current debt situation of the factory?"

Du Shaojie walked around the workshop and had a rough idea in his mind.

He now wants to know more about the other party's financial situation, especially the debt situation. A broken capital chain is not a big deal, as it can be fully revived with new capital injection, but if the debt level is too high, it will be difficult to deal with.

"Our debt-to-asset ratio has always been very low. We currently have a loan of 30 yuan outstanding, and we owe our employees one month's salary."

Bao Youzhi said helplessly. He felt extremely anxious when he thought about the fact that his employees had not received their salaries this month.

It is not easy for everyone. Some employees are the backbone of their families. If they don’t get paid, their families can’t make ends meet. Everyone can hold on for a short period of time, but who will stay for a long time?

He looked at Du Shaojie with great anticipation, hoping that this boss could invest some money in the factory to alleviate its difficulties.

"Yes, I know your basic situation. I remember that the factory has three shareholders, and you are the largest shareholder. What is the attitude of the other two shareholders towards financing?"

Du Shaojie nodded and continued to ask.

The shareholder structure of the factory is relatively simple, with only three natural person shareholders, and the factory is a limited liability company. Although Bao Youzhi holds 76% of the company's shares, he still wants to know the opinions of other shareholders.

"Them? If I can attract investment, they will withdraw their shares."

Bao Youzhi smiled bitterly, but he didn't mean to blame anyone.

The other two shareholders have been completely disappointed with the factory. When the company was first established, they invested a total of 200 million yuan. They are even willing to take back their share capital at half price, which shows how disappointed they are with the company's current situation.

Next, Luo Qin asked some detailed questions, and Bao Youzhi answered them one by one.

"Manager Bao, I am willing to invest 200 million yuan in you, and you just need to give me 40% of the shares. If you are willing, I will send someone to sign a contract with you. If not, forget it."

It was just a small investment, and if it weren't for his memory, he would never have come to discuss it in person.

In order to save time, Du Shaojie directly made his bottom line clear. He didn't have time to argue with the other party.

Bao Youzhi was a little surprised when he heard the other party's conditions. He was even prepared to accept all kinds of harsh conditions from the other party, but he didn't expect that the other party was unwilling to take advantage and offered a very fair price.

"Boss Du, you are the savior of our factory. There is nothing much to say. I will do as you say."

Bao Youzhi is now living a miserable life and wishes he could end the current situation as soon as possible.

Du Shaojie smiled and waved his hands. He didn't think he was doing charity when it came to business. To be honest, if he didn't need to use this sanitary material factory later, he wouldn't even want it for free.

The other managers in the factory were also very happy and prepared to have a few drinks with Du Shaojie at noon.

However, Du Shaojie rejected the other party's kindness and left the sanitary materials factory before noon. Just kidding, the employees' wages could not be paid, how could he have the nerve to eat and drink so much?

After leaving the factory, Du Shaojie took everyone to the [Fish Restaurant].

The factory is not far from the Fish Restaurant, so let's just have lunch nearby.

"Assistant Luo, I will have Huaxin Investment send someone to sign the contract. Please follow up. This matter must be completed within a week."

During the meal, Du Shaojie gave Luo Qin a task, which was to supervise Huaxin Investment to complete the shareholding as soon as possible.

The reason for doing this is to get the sanitary materials factory started as soon as possible. Now there is not much time left before that big event happens, and he has to do something no matter what.

"Okay, boss."

Luo Qin accepted the task and went to Huaxin Investment after dinner.

Du Shaojie immediately called [Huaxin Investment] and asked them to send someone to accompany Luo Qin to sign the contract. According to the verbal agreement, Du Shaojie would send someone to manage the finance and sales departments, and the candidates would also need to be decided by [Huaxin Investment].

three days later.

Luo Qin and others signed the contract with Bao Youzhi very smoothly. The personnel sent by Huaxin Investment arrived immediately, and 200 million yuan of funds were simultaneously transferred to the account of the sanitary materials factory.

Bao Youzhi has solved his own problems and those of other shareholders, and now there are only two shareholders left in the company, him and Huaxin Investment.

Among them, Bao Youzhi holds 60% of the shares and Huaxin Investment holds 40% of the shares.

After the funds were in place, he first paid the wages owed to employees and repaid the debt of 30 yuan. Then he began to purchase raw materials and prepared for production.

"Assistant Luo, Xiao Wu, you two should go to the sanitary materials factory tomorrow and place an order of 500 million yuan with the factory."

In the morning, Du Shaojie called Luo Qin and Wu Chenggang to the study and gave them a task.

This order was given to the other party in the name of [Bailian Catering Management Company], which included medical masks, medical protective clothing, disinfection supplies, etc., and the deposit was directly given as 200 million yuan.

He did not let Yu Jianxin and others participate in this matter in order to save time.

Bao Youzhi was very happy. The factory had just resumed production and it received such a large order. So, he used the deposit to directly purchase a large amount of raw materials. He bought as much as he could and there was no point in keeping the money.

"Yongli, on behalf of [Dingxin International (Shencheng) Company], you will order a batch of Isatis Root from various manufacturers. The total value is controlled at around 2000 million yuan. Go and do it now."

Du Shaojie also assigned a task to Wang Yongli. Later, he would ask Dingxin International (Shencheng) Company to send someone to cooperate and order a batch of Isatis root as soon as possible.

He had no idea how effective this thing was, so he could only do things according to his memory.

Afterwards, he temporarily transferred Liu Dongfang from Bailian Catering Management Company to his side and asked him to be responsible for the storage and subsequent distribution of sanitary materials and medicines.

Liu Dongfang is the company's human resources manager. He is hard-working and has a very good reputation.

“That’s all I can do.”

In a trance, Du Shaojie thought a lot.

However, some things cannot be stopped by human power, so he can only go with the flow and at most take care of the people around him.

After Bao Youzhi received the order, he started to work overtime to organize production, because Assistant Luo and Assistant Wu said that there would be a large number of orders in the future, but they must be delivered as soon as possible.

He didn't know what Boss Du was going to do, and he didn't need to know, as long as he was paid.

Bao Youzhi was no fool. Since the order quantity was large, he used almost all of his working capital to purchase raw materials. He also ordered several pieces of equipment to expand production capacity.

He produces a batch of products, and then someone takes them away. The payment is in cash and the deposit remains there.

Bao Youzhi was so happy. It was the first time he had met such a happy customer in all his years of business. Of course, this customer was a little special. After all, he was a major shareholder of the company.

Various products worth 500 million yuan were quickly produced and delivered.

Luo Qin placed another order of 500 million yuan. Fortunately, Bao Youzhi was smart and expanded the production capacity in time, otherwise he would be too busy. Because after resuming production, there are other normal orders. If he doesn't do this, the production capacity will be directly exceeded.

A few days passed quickly.

Various sanitary materials and isatis root entered the warehouse. Liu Dongfang was very busy, but everything was in order.

By the turn of spring and summer, the incident had already begun to take shape, and countless rumors had caused some panic among the people. Because it was something that had never happened before, everyone was not only panicking but also at a loss as to what to do.

Just at this time, Wu Chenggang brought Du Shaojie's order.

"Manager Liu, the boss asked us to repack the products immediately and then distribute them to the stores."

Wu Chenggang came to help Liu Dongfang. They hired a large number of people and started to pack the "health gift packs". The gift packs included masks, disinfectants, and isatis root, which would be distributed to each store and each employee would have one.

"Assistant Wu, the boss is so nice to his employees!"

What Liu Dongfang said was right. A "health gift pack" was enough for a family of six. It was not very expensive, but it was definitely a thoughtful gesture from the boss.

Afterwards, Liu Dongfang began to organize the transportation and Wu Chenggang was responsible for the distribution.

The distribution work started from Guangzhou, then Shenzhen and other cities in the province, and then other provinces.

Du Shaojie asked Wu Chenggang to send a large number of gift packages to Hong Kong in advance, and hired a fleet of cars to send the unpackaged sanitary materials and isatis root to Beijing, and handed them over to Qi Yan for distribution.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, a steady stream of "health gift packs" flowed to various places, and employees in all stores received the benefits. Regardless of whether they were useful or not, the employees would always remember Du Shaojie's kindness.

As the situation developed, it suddenly became tense.

There are still people rushing to buy Isatis root and sanitary protection products on the market. Ordinary Chinese patent medicines and ordinary sanitary materials are sold out, which is beyond many people's imagination.

"Assistant Luo, please donate a batch of medical protective equipment to the Provincial Hospital on behalf of the company."

Du Shaojie asked Luo Qin to donate a batch of medical protective supplies to several designated hospitals in the city, including medical masks, high-grade medical protective clothing, disinfection supplies, etc.

Then it donated another 500 million medical masks to the city.

He had already stopped placing orders with the sanitary materials factory because Bao Youzhi had received too many orders and they could not produce them in the short term.

Now even he has to admire Bao Youzhi's foresight. What would the situation be like now if the other party had not expanded its production capacity in advance?
"Boss, your call is from Mr. Ye."

That afternoon, Du Shaojie was busy at work when Li Yimei came over and handed him the phone. (End of this chapter)
