Chapter 158 Crossing the threshold of "ten thousand yuan household"
Later, the three of them went to Hongshan together, observed the business situation of the Hongshan store, and chatted with Hou Xinli for a while.
Hou Xinli heard that it was Du Shaojie who asked them to come, so he told a few truths. After Xiao Jianjun's brother and sister-in-law went back, they decided to open a store according to the franchise model.
The location was chosen near the Railway Bureau, which was very far away from Guangyuan Hotel and Hongshan Store, at least more than ten kilometers.
[Du's Pepper Chicken] The Railway Bureau store opened soon, and then two returned educated youths from Chunfeng Lane found Su Dapeng. The third and fourth stores should be soon.
Du Shaojie currently chooses partners who know him well, and he is not going to expand blindly in the near future. The total number of franchise stores will be controlled at 10.
More is simply too busy.
During the National Day.
Liao Yongxin came to Du Shaojie. He had undertaken three wedding banquets and wanted the other party to help him.
The snack bar has not yet opened, so Du Shaojie naturally agreed very happily.
"Master, how is your retirement going?"
The first wedding banquet was held at the machinery factory. Since the journey was quite far, the two agreed to take the bus together.
It was still early and there were not many people on the bus, so Du Shaojie started chatting with Liao Yongxin.
"Director Chen agreed that I can go through the retirement procedures normally after the New Year's Day next year. Alas, you don't know, I'm almost fed up recently. The little brats at home heard that I rejected the master's invitation to go abroad, and came all the way to persuade me."
Liao Yongxin got angry when he talked about this.
After retirement, he wanted to live a quiet life, open a small restaurant by himself, and he didn't have to get up early and go to bed late. He didn't ask for much money, but just wanted to be free.
But his children at home wanted him to go to the other side of the ocean, and even some relatives wrote letters to persuade him, which reminded him of a saying: If one person succeeds, the whole family will prosper.
But he couldn't turn against everyone, which was really depressing.
"Master, please think about this matter more. No matter what decision you make, I support you."
This is Liao Yongxin's family affair, and Du Shaojie can't comment.
The current living standards in China are still very low, and the income is also low. It is normal for people to yearn for the other side of the ocean.
But Du Shaojie, who has lived two lives, knows very well that in the next ten, twenty, and thirty years, there will be countless opportunities in China. As long as you can seize one, you can soar to the sky, which is more promising than going to a foreign country.
But most people only look at the immediate interests. Who cares what will happen in the future?
"You little sly guy! Okay, I won't talk about my business anymore. I get upset when I talk about it. You are so powerful now. Some people say that you are the boss behind [Du's Pepper Chicken]. Is that true?"
The car arrived at the station, and Liao Yongxin and Du Shaojie got off the car.
There was still a long way to go inside, and Liao Yongxin asked about [Du's Pepper Chicken].
Du Shaojie did not hide it and told the other party the cause and effect of the franchise.
After hearing this, Liao Yongxin couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. He didn't expect that business could be played like this. I really don't know what's wrong with this kid's brain!
The two of them quickly arrived at the end of the field, communicated with the host family, and began to get busy. To be honest, Du Shaojie no longer cares about the thank-you gift for preparing a banquet, but he cares about the accumulation of experience.
There is still a difference between organizing a banquet and cooking at ordinary times
. Preparing a banquet can better exercise cooking skills. After three days of hard work, Du Shaojie earned 300 yuan, 3 packs of cigarettes and 6 bottles of liquor. He originally planned to give the cigarettes and liquor to Liao Yongxin, but the other party refused to take them. He didn't need them at all.
Before going to bed at night, he habitually entered the simulation scene and continued to study the recipe of [Spicy Chicken], learning and practicing, and finally received a "good" simulation evaluation.
After the formula was improved again, it belongs to the fourth generation formula of [Spicy Chicken], while the Chinese restaurant of Guangyuan Hotel and all franchise stores are still using the second generation formula.
After exiting the simulation scene, he counted the gains of these days.
[Bound chef: Du Shaojie]
[Level: First-level chef]
[Current works: Sweet and sour pork tenderloin (×3), Dongpo pork elbow (×3), beef stew (×3), others (×15)]
[Overall evaluation: up, up and down]
[Bonus: Simulated chef skills competition duration (1800 hours)]
[Reward: Exchange points (180 points), simulated training duration (1800 hours)]
[Special reward: None]
[Exchange points: 2467 points\2496 points]
[Duration: 6600 hours\40776 hours]
Both the exchange points and duration have increased significantly, indicating that the consumption speed of the duration is not as fast as the increase speed. Therefore, the benefits of hosting a wedding banquet are still considerable.
Among them, three dishes, [Sweet and sour pork tenderloin], [Dongpo pork elbow], and [Beef stew] received an overall evaluation of "up", and the other dishes received an overall evaluation of "up and down".
Du Shaojie felt very satisfied and then fell asleep.
After the holiday.
The snack bar of Guangyuan Hotel has been successfully opened. The main products are [cold noodles], [big plate chicken belt noodles], [pepper and sesame chicken], as well as chicken soup, corn porridge, steamed buns, flower rolls, steamed buns and various cold dishes.
Now the place is spacious, you can eat in or take away.
In the morning, the leaders of the bureau, including Chen Jizhou, came. The opening ceremony was simple and festive, and soon welcomed the first wave of customers.
Du Shaojie required all employees of the snack bar to have a sense of service. You don't have to smile like a flower, but you must not give customers a cold shoulder, let alone be indifferent.
If anyone dares to violate the rules, then sorry, get out immediately and go back to where you came from.
At lunch time, the whole snack bar was crowded. It seems that the majority of customers are still very face-giving. So many people came to support the first day of the opening.
"Manager Du, good luck to the opening!"
As the manager of the snack bar, Du Shaojie was busy all morning, which was more tiring than organizing a wedding banquet.
Fortunately, Dong Jun was very powerful and shared a lot of work for him, otherwise he would have been exhausted.
After the hustle and bustle, everyone gradually got into the state, and each position operated in an orderly manner. It seems that the training work before the opening was still effective.
Du Shaojie finally got some free time and planned to go to the door to take a breath. When he went out, he saw Wang Liwen and Yu Mo.
"Sister Liwen? When did you come back? You didn't even tell me in advance so I could pick you up. Yu Mo, long time no see!"
There was surprise and astonishment. The surprise was that Wang Liwen came back suddenly, and the astonishment was seeing Yu Mo.
Du Shaojie was stunned for only a second, then smiled and greeted Wang Liwen and Yu Mo.
"I came back quite suddenly, and I didn't tell you because Yu Mo was with me. Shaojie, we both have lunch, let's go in and have something together."
Wang Liwen's eyes were full of tenderness. Although she knew in advance that Du Shaojie had become the manager of the snack bar, she was still happy for him at the moment of opening.
This time when she returned from Guangzhou, Yu Mo insisted on accompanying her back, and she had no reason to refuse.
"Let's go to the Chinese restaurant to eat, I'll cook two dishes for you myself."
When friends come from afar, Du Shaojie must do his best to be a good host.
He went in first and told Dong Jun a few words, and then took Wang Liwen and Yu Mo to the Chinese restaurant.
He went to the kitchen to change clothes, fried a dish of [Fish-flavored Shredded Pork], a dish of [Dry-fried Fish], and a dish of [Celery Stir-fried Lily], and then asked the waiter to take them to the private room.
Du Shaojie treated everyone to this meal, so naturally he paid the bill.
"Shaojie, I toast you a glass. Thank you for sending me away that year. After I left the farm, I went to Yangcheng. I was actually quite lucky. I found my uncle's good friend, Sister Li, in Yangcheng. It was she who took me to Hong Kong ."
The three of them ordered a bottle of wine. Yu Mo and Du Shaojie clinked glasses and talked about the past.
Her uncle opened an electronics factory in Hong Kong, with certain economic strength and social status, and quickly helped Yu Mo to complete the identity documents.
"From then on, I followed my uncle to work. Our company has a cooperative relationship with an enterprise in Yangcheng. In addition to meeting Liwen, I also wanted to investigate whether a joint venture could be established in Guangdong Province when I came to Yangcheng this time."
Yu Mo's temperament has changed a lot, from an idealist to a business elite.
After dinner, she gave Du Shaojie a gift, and then Wang Liwen sent her back to Kunlun Hotel. Yu Mo will stay for about three days this time, and will return to Hong Kong via Guangzhou in three days.
During the lunch break, Du Shaojie opened the gift bag.
It contained a Citizen Exceed Gold ultra-thin watch, a Goldlion tie, and a Casio electronic calculator.
"Yu Mo has transformed himself into a Hong Kong businessman, which is quite interesting."
Du Shaojie packed the things and put them in the cabinet. He planned to give the calculator to Xiaoya, and put the watch and tie aside for now.
He appreciated Yu Mo's kindness, but he couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of fate. If that incident hadn't happened back then, the other party wouldn't have risked his life to join his uncle in Hong Kong, and he wouldn't have achieved what he has now.
A few days passed quickly.
The snack bar was running smoothly, and several signature snacks were still popular.
Now most of the management work is actually done by Dong Jun, and the other party is also happy to do it. Du Shaojie enjoyed his free time and managed all 10 franchise stores in a short period of time.
These 10 stores are located in various crowded areas of the city, but they are far apart and do not affect each other.
In a short period of time, Du Shaojie received 10,000 yuan in franchise fees, plus an IOU of 40,000 yuan. He estimated that it would take less than 6 months, and it would take about 3 or 4 months to collect the debts, after all, the business of the 10 stores is very good. After
work, Du Shaojie has to spend a lot of time frying spices, crushing, and finally packaging them into spice bags.
Fortunately, there is no need to deliver the goods to the door, and the store owners all come to Su Dapeng to get the goods, otherwise Du Shaojie would be too busy.
At the end of 1979, Du Shaojie calmly crossed the threshold of a 10,000 yuan household. There were no flowers, no applause, and no media reports, as if nothing had happened.
"Shaojie, Yu Mo invited us to visit Hong Kong. If you agree, she will help with all the formalities. In addition, she also helped me contact a university on the other side of the ocean, saying that she is willing to sponsor me to complete my master's degree in medicine."
After seeing Yu Mo off, Wang Liwen's life returned to its usual pace.
She was resting today and bought vegetables in the morning. Du Shaojie came over at noon and cooked two dishes, and the two had lunch together.
As they ate and talked, Wang Liwen suddenly said two very shocking news.
