After arranging Hou Xinli, Du Shaojie felt relieved.
The relationship between the two was mediocre before, but they were neighbors after all, and he didn't want to see the other party so miserable.
The other party was not a lazy person, nor was he a crooked person. Whether he could turn over or not depended on Hou San's luck.
After a while, the [roast duck] sold by Hou San became famous in this area. The neighbors in the old street knew that he was taught by Du Shaojie, and the food he made tasted good, so everyone gave him face.
Seeing that Hou San was very competitive, Du Shaojie helped him rent a small storefront next to the [barbecue restaurant].
He paid the money, Hou San worked hard, and they split the money 50-50.
"Brother, do you still care about those trifles? You are just soft-hearted. In fact, you want to support Hou Xinli, right?"
After Xiaomei knew about this, she saw through her brother's purpose at a glance.
"Well, Hou San can't afford to pay anymore. But I can't give him money for nothing. It's best if he can be self-reliant. If he is unlucky and loses money again, all the losses will be mine, and he can continue to work."
It's okay to help others, but Du Shaojie has his own principles.
Seeing her brother say this, Xiaomei smiled knowingly, and her admiration for her brother deepened.
This matter is just a trivial matter for Du Shaojie, but it is a matter of fate and future for Hou San.
The neighbors in the old street are blessed. Du Shaojie sometimes goes to instruct Hou San, and occasionally he personally makes dishes such as [roast duck], [roast goose], [barbecued pork], [white-cut chicken], and [salt-baked chicken].
Every time Du Shaojie cooks personally, Hou San will notify Uncle Chai and others.
This kid is smart. It will only benefit him to have a good relationship with these native locals.
On this day, the [shrimp paste] made by Du Shaojie was ready to be eaten. He gave some to Uncle Chai and others, and gave two bottles to Lin Zhiyuan and Director Luo respectively.
Lin Zhiyuan suggested going out to play someday and eating farm food.
"Director Lin, I know a fish restaurant where you can fish by the lake, and the quality of the food is not bad."
Du Shaojie heard this and thought of Wu Dazhu's fish restaurant, so he casually recommended it to the other party.
Lin Zhiyuan just wanted to go out and relax, and he nodded and agreed to go anywhere.
Weekend.
Du Shaojie came to the fish restaurant in the morning.
Wu Dazhu prepared fishing gear, bait and other items, and Lin Zhiyuan, Jiao Hongtao, Ye Weiming and others arrived soon.
Afterwards, everyone went to the lake to fish.
Wu Dazhu had set up a parasol, a small tea table and a lounge chair here early. It was better to say that he came to play by the lake than to fish.
Du Shaojie asked Wang Yongli to bring the fruits, drinks and beer from the trunk. After putting down their fishing rods, the few people just left it alone and lay on the chairs chatting.
"Captain Jiao, I have something to consult you about."
Lin Zhiyuan and Manager Ye of the hardware company were talking about some changes in the city. The performance of the hardware company is getting worse and worse, and Ye Weiming is having a headache.
Du Shaojie and Jiao Hongtao mentioned Hou San's matter. The scammer Hou San encountered was said to be a local in Yangcheng, but it was a pity that it was not easy to find someone in such a huge crowd.
"Give me as much detailed information as possible later, and I will help you ask. Also, this matter seems to be an economic dispute on the surface, but if there is other evidence to prove that the other party is suspected of fraud, the victim can also report it to the police."
Jiao Hongtao did not dare to take on too much responsibility, and only said to help ask.
However, if the information of the scammer could be a little more detailed, he might be able to find the other party. It's just that the current information is incomplete, and he can't define whether this is an economic dispute or a fraud case.
If it is suspected of fraud, he can help to file a case for investigation.
"Boss Du, some of the properties of Manager Ye's company may be for sale. Are you interested?"
At this time, Lin Zhiyuan suddenly shouted, and Ye Weiming looked a little embarrassed.
The company was poorly managed and had fallen to the point where it needed to sell assets. He didn't look very happy.
"As long as it's a storefront, I'm interested. Forget about the others."
Du Shaojie laughed and responded loudly.
None of these people were real fishermen. They made loud noises and were not afraid of scaring away the fish.
"Since Boss Du is interested, I'll go with you to take a look in two days. Let's not talk about this today."
Ye Weiming changed the subject and started talking about other topics.
Near noon, the proprietress came over and asked everyone to go to the fish restaurant to rest for a while, and then they could have dinner directly.
Wu Dazhu attached great importance to this meal. Although Du Shaojie didn't say it clearly, he could see that these people were not ordinary. The ingredients prepared were carefully selected, for fear that the guests would not be satisfied after eating.
Everyone packed up and went to the fish restaurant.
The proprietress led everyone into a large private room. Du Shaojie drank a cup of tea and then stood up to take a look at the kitchen.
"Boss Du, our skills are limited. Please bear with us and your friends."
Wu Dazhu said politely when he saw Du Shaojie.
Du Shaojie smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay. Just do it. I'll come over to make a few dishes later."
He looked at the ingredients and auxiliary materials prepared in the kitchen and had an idea.
Wu Dazhu and the hired chef began to prepare the specialty of the fish restaurant, while Du Shaojie prepared the ingredients on the side. He was going to make a [Fish Fillet with Lotus Root], a [Chopped Pepper Fish Head], and a [Da Qian Dry-fried Fish].
After he finished his work here, he quickly made three dishes, and then left the kitchen and went to the private room.
"Haha, our General Manager Du has prepared three dishes. Everyone is in for a treat."
Seeing the other party come in, Lin Zhiyuan smiled and said a polite word.
The others echoed, and when the other party sat down, they drank a glass of wine together.
To be honest, the several specialties made by Wu Dazhu are now well-known and are still very good. But compared with the dishes made by Du Shaojie, the difference is more than one level.
However, Lin Zhiyuan and others did not say anything, but they remembered this fish restaurant in their hearts.
When they have time in the future, they can still come here to eat and play.
Wang Yongli did not come to the table. He ate with the driver of Lin Zhiyuan and others. The dishes are very rich, but you can't taste Du Shaojie's cooking.
The meal ended at almost two o'clock. Before leaving, Ye Weiming called Du Shaojie aside.
"Boss Du, our company has a two-story building in a busy area. It is suitable for a restaurant after a little renovation. Now the building is for sale. Let's go and have a look later?"
"Okay, if it's convenient, I'll call you tomorrow."
"Okay! That's settled. See you tomorrow."
Ye Weiming then got in the car and left. Du Shaojie also got in the car and asked Wang Yongli to take him home.
In the evening.
Du Shaojie took stock of his recent gains. The gains were very good. 100 dishes received a comprehensive evaluation of "exquisite delicacies", which was a record.
This gave him an additional 50,000 redemption points and 1 million hours of general time.
The consumption was not small, especially in the process of teaching Hou San skills, the title of "Silver Medal Lecturer" would be opened from time to time, so a total of 230,000 hours of time was consumed during this period.
[Redemption points: 301,918 points\615,066 points]
[Time: 1.66 million hours\9.733 million hours]
He has never been as rich as he is now.
The next day.
Du Shaojie called Ye Weiming and went to see the two-story building.
It has been eight years since the building was built, and it looks a bit shabby. Previously, the building was a sales point of a hardware company. The first floor was a store and the second floor was an office. Now it is empty.
With the deepening of reform and opening up, some of the original industries are undergoing earth-shaking changes.
For example, the various sales points of hardware companies cannot compete with self-employed hardware stores. In the past one or two years, this trend has become more and more obvious.
Hardware companies have to bear the wages and benefits of the majority of employees, and also the wages and benefits of retired employees. Such a heavy burden has also caused the company to decline rapidly.
"Mr. Ye, we are old friends. Give me a real price."
"The hardware company is a state-owned enterprise. Some things cannot be decided by me alone. The best price is 230,000 yuan. I can't do anything lower."
Ye Weiming did not intend to bargain with Du Shaojie and directly gave the lowest price.
Du Shaojie nodded. There was nothing to say about this location and this price.
"Okay, I'll go to your company to sign the contract now. Let's try to complete the formalities as soon as possible."
The two reached an agreement and left the scene and went to the hardware company.
The transfer contract was ready. Du Shaojie looked at it and felt that there was no problem, so he signed it.
The company doesn't have to pay for this money, he can take it out himself. It's better to put this property in the name of an individual. It's just a small building, which doesn't mean much to the company.
A week later.
All the formalities were completed and Du Shaojie paid the house price.
The small building was in his name. He hasn't decided whether to rent it out or keep it for his own use.
After Xiao Jianjun learned about this, he ran over from Shenzhen.
"Mr. Du, I have always wanted to open another store in Yangcheng. You see, this is unfortunate. You just have such a store. Mr. Meng has always said that the company should give priority to the development of [Xichuan Restaurant]. That can't restrict the development of [Seafood Restaurant] for a long time, right?"
[Seafood Restaurant] has developed very well this year. After owning two stores, the brand has gradually established itself in Shenzhen.
Xiao Jianjun had some opinions about Meng Gang, and he spoke frankly in front of Du Shaojie.
"The company's development has a long-term plan, and you can't just consider your own interests. You should go talk to President Meng later, I believe he will consider it appropriately."
Du Shaojie ignored Xiao Jianjun's complaints. He had to maintain Meng Gang's authority, otherwise how could the company be managed?
However, he still agreed with some of Xiao Jianjun's words.
[Seafood Restaurant] The current profit level has increased significantly, and he can no longer look at the problem with the old perspective. He feels that he needs to talk to Meng Gang.
But he can't say this to Xiao Jianjun.
"Okay, President Du."
Xiao Jianjun was a little discouraged, and returned to Shenzhen after staying in Yangcheng for a day.
It happened that Meng Gang was going on a business trip to Beijing, and he arrived right after Xiao Jianjun left. (End of this chapter)
