Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

"Don't pay attention to them. Our main focus is on the mainland. They have already fallen behind by coming to Hong Kong to stir up trouble."

Du Shaojie curled his lips. He actually knew very well that [Hongsheng Investment] was just a dog raised by a big force. If he looked at the other party for one more second, he would be considered a loser.

Nowadays, the Internet economy is changing with each passing day, and the Olympic economy is just emerging, so there are many opportunities.

[Hongsheng Investment] wants to compete with [Dingxin International] in industrial investment, but they are definitely making a wrong calculation.

According to Du Shaojie's plan, he will sell the stocks of the three major portals before the opening of the Olympics, and then increase his investment in Penguin.

In addition, there are future industries such as new energy and smart phones that can be paid attention to. He never lacks investment targets in his mind.

Therefore, we must keep our own pace now and not be led astray by others because of anger. As for that jumping clown of [Hongsheng Investment], there will always be a chance to deal with him in the future.

"Boss, how about this? The company should assign a team to deal with Hongsheng Investment. When the time comes, we'll see who can fool whom."

Fan Shilun came up with a bad idea and planned to allocate a small amount of manpower to play with [Hongsheng Investment].

[Hongsheng Investment] Isn't he always interfering with my business? Then just come and see how powerful he is. In fact, this move of his has the flavor of strategic deception and is not easy to operate.

"You! Are you still angry? Don't worry, there will always be a time for you to vent your anger. But don't get entangled with them now. Let's do our own things and give them a fatal blow when we get the chance."

Du Shaojie laughed and comforted Fan Shilun.

At this stage, Hongsheng Investment's morale is high, and there are no obvious flaws, so it is okay to avoid it temporarily. When the other party starts to show signs of fatigue, it is easy to make mistakes, and then he will definitely not be polite.

Either don't take action, or if you do, make sure to cripple your opponent.

Fan Shilun wanted to say something, but Liang Meiqin immediately expressed her opinion, and the matter was settled.

After the meeting.

Du Shaojie took Zou Xiaohe away from Dingxin International and met with Chen Ji and Peng Yongjun alone.

"Go and find out who else Hongsheng Investment has been close to recently besides Li Er? You only have one task now. Keep a close eye on Hongsheng Investment. I need to know all the information about them."

Du Shaojie didn't waste any time and directly assigned the tasks to the two of them when they met.

Chen Ji and Peng Yongjun looked at each other and then expressed their opinions.

Du Shaojie nodded, then asked the two to go first, and he sat here and continued to drink coffee.

Just now, an idea suddenly came to his mind. Perhaps he could dig a pit in advance and lead [Hongsheng Investment] into the pit step by step.

This needs to be planned from now on, and it will take about one to two years to achieve the goal.

Du Shaojie is patient and can play slowly with the opponent.

After drinking coffee, he returned to the Repulse Bay Villa with Zou Xiaohe and Wei Qi.

Wei Qi is his full-time driver, and he would not let him know anything involving confidential matters. Even Zou Xiaohe knew very little.

After lunch, Du Shaojie locked himself in his study. He needed a project that could carry out his plan, and also a white glove to perform on stage.

He listed the key points of the plan and then began to develop a plan around these key points.

By the afternoon, the plan was ready. The current plan is still a framework, and it needs to be filled with details in the coming days before it can be put into use.

After putting away the things on the table and locking it, Du Shaojie went to take a nap.

"Assistant Wu, what are we having for dinner?"

After waking up, Du Shaojie felt refreshed and a little hungry.

He was too lazy to go out to eat, so when he went downstairs he just happened to see Wu Chenggang.

"I just went to buy some groceries. We're going to have seafood noodles tonight."

When Wu Chenggang heard his boss' question, he quickly answered.

His cooking skills have improved significantly now. Most of the time, he is the one who cooks and no longer needs Du Shaojie to give him guidance.

Du Shaojie nodded and became a little excited about dinner.

Just after six o'clock, Wu Chenggang prepared dinner.

"Not bad, your seafood noodles are very authentic."

Du Shaojie took a few bites and gave the other person a thumbs up and praised him.

Zou Xiaohe and others also said that the food was delicious. Although Wu Chenggang's cooking skills were far inferior to the boss's, he also had some of the boss's charm.

After some time, Du Shaojie and others returned to Yangcheng and asked Wu Chenggang to take the senior chef level test. As expected, he passed the test smoothly and got the senior chef level certificate.

"Xiao Wu, you need to exercise more from now on. How about this, you start with Sichuan cuisine, and you are not allowed to make the same dishes twice for a month."

There was nothing to do recently, so Du Shaojie started to conduct intensive training on Wu Chenggang. Anyway, the dishes for each meal were different, not only him, but also Zou Xiaohe, Luo Qin and others participated in ordering dishes.

Du Shaojie started to give instructions again, but the requirements were much higher now. Once the other party made a mistake, he would scold them.

He believes that a strict teacher produces excellent students. If he sets higher standards, how can the students' cooking skills improve?
For the first time, Wu Chenggang felt what fear was. He dared not be careless every time when cooking. In order to avoid being scolded, he had to study hard and practice diligently.

As the days passed, Du Shaojie felt very gratified by Wu Chenggang's every bit of progress.

"Yes, you have made great progress in the past period of time. You can take a break now. Next week, you will lead people to inspect the various Shuweixiang Hotpot stores."

That morning, Du Shaojie called Wu Chenggang over and gave him some instructions.

Wu Chenggang's words sounded like heavenly music. Although he wanted to learn his boss's skills, he could not stand such high-intensity training.

"Okay, Mr. Du, I'll get ready right away."

After Wu Chenggang finished speaking, he ran away.

Du Shaojie smiled and shook his head. He knew that haste makes waste, so he gave the other party some time to rest.

After Wu Chenggang left, Du Shaojie also had some free time. He would occasionally go to the association to hang out, and every now and then he would take time to visit his mother, or go fishing or have a few drinks with Ye Weiming, Jiang Dongyuan and others.

Jiang Dongyuan was the most depressed one among them. After retiring from the position of bank president, he was not promoted but was only given the title of a financial research institute.

He did not report to the head office, but directly submitted a report to apply for retirement, which has not been approved until now.

The bank renovated an office for him, but no one cared whether he wanted to go there or not, and he was completely marginalized.

"President Jiang, don't think too much. Come and help me after you retire. I will take you around the world."

Ye Weiming's business is doing well and he is well-known in the industry.

He has always had a good relationship with Jiang Dongyuan, and he is well aware that the other party is a capable person, so he plans to poach him to the company.

"Okay, but you have to wait until I finish the formalities."

Jiang Dongyuan did not refuse. He knew that his retirement report would definitely be approved by his superiors and it could not be delayed indefinitely.

He was full of confidence when he was drinking, but not long after, his superiors sent an investigation team, saying that they had received a report and wanted to investigate some problems he had encountered in the loan process.

There is no doubt that someone is pushing this matter behind the scenes. His backers have retired in the past two years, and there is no one at the top to speak for him.

Jiang Dongyuan had no choice but to cooperate with the investigation honestly.

Du Shaojie quickly called all the units under his control and the units he invested in to inquire about their loan situations. All loans related to Jiangdongyuan Bank must be repaid when due, and try not to extend the loan period.

The businesses under his name are easy to deal with, but Yu Mo has a loan of 4.5 million yuan that has expired and cannot be repaid for the time being.

Du Shaojie quickly ran to Shenzhen and asked Yu Mo what was going on in person.

"Mr. Du, you are a well-fed man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man. When will our [Dongsheng Electronics] not be short of money? I have just built a separator factory, and the industry is in a downturn, so I have to postpone the loan repayment."

Yu Mo has her own difficulties, and she complained bitterly to Du Shaojie when she met him.

Although she had received a call from Du Shaojie before, she really had no choice but to apply to the bank for an extension. The bank verbally agreed and is currently going through the procedures.

"Mo Mo, does your loan have anything to do with President Jiang?"

"What does it have to do with him? I went directly to the head of the credit department, not him."

"Lao Jiang has been reported and is under investigation. We should be prepared for the bank not to agree to extend the loan. If you really have difficulty with funds, we can consider issuing additional shares."

After hearing this, Du Shaojie felt much more relieved.

For a large enterprise like [Dongsheng Electronics] that is a listed company, the loan procedures are generally fine. According to him, Lao Jiang did eat and drink a lot, but he definitely didn't believe that he had taken a lot of money from others.

After all, Jiang Dongyuan had never taken a penny from him in all these years.

"I've already said that we are at the end of the industry's recession cycle. We have to wait until this period of time passes and performance recovers before we can raise funds again. Ajie, if the bank does not agree to extend the loan period, you must lend me 4.5 million first, otherwise it will be difficult to pass this hurdle."

Yu Mo and Du Shaojie don't need to be polite. They share weal and woe, and strictly speaking, [Dongsheng Electronics] belongs to both of them.

She realized that the matter could be big or small, and the key was to be prepared to repay the loan.

"It's no big deal! Go find another bank to get a loan. If you need a guarantee, come to me and I'll take care of it."

Du Shaojie thought about it and decided that borrowing between companies was not a good idea, so it would be safer to borrow from a bank.

The electronics industry is in a recession right now, and Dongsheng Electronics' debt ratio is relatively high. Other banks may not be willing to lend the company hundreds of millions of dollars.

But Du Shaojie's willingness to provide a guarantee is another matter. With his guarantee, people are not afraid that [Dongsheng Electronics] will not be able to repay the loan. (End of this chapter)
