The next day.
Liao Yongxin and others left Rongcheng and returned to their respective cities.
Du Shaojie did not stay here for long and returned to Yangcheng three days later.
Meng Gang came from Shenzhen in advance. On the one hand, he congratulated Du Shaojie, and on the other hand, he also made a self-examination. Then he started the publicity activities intensively. This is called striking while the iron is hot. The publicity effect is much better than usual.
To be honest, he was not optimistic about everyone participating in the selection activities before, so he did not pay attention to it at the beginning.
Now that there are such good results, if he does not know how to use it in time, he is not worthy of being the general manager.
"This guy is also a slippery guy."
Du Shaojie was a little amused. He originally planned to knock Meng Gang, but now it is difficult to put it into action.
Weekend.
Du Shaojie and Jiao Hongtao, Ye Weiming, Huang Yong, Jiang Dongyuan and others went to the fish restaurant. During this period, Lin Zhiyuan was very busy and was entangled in meetings almost every day, so he could not come.
Today, the fish restaurant has changed a lot. The dining area, kitchen and accommodation area have been completed. A "self-service barbecue area" has been specially opened in the backyard to let guests experience the fun of barbecue.
"Mr. Du, let's have barbecue today. We can have enough food and clothing by ourselves."
Jiao Hongtao was very interested in self-service barbecue, and the other people had no objection. They arranged this project at noon.
After deciding what to eat at noon, they went to the lake to fish.
A leisure area has also been opened by the lake, where you can fish and rest. Service staff are always available to provide iced watermelon and various drinks.
"Tsk tsk, the facilities of the fish restaurant are like a shotgun upgrade, and the grade has been raised a lot. Mr. Du, you are really amazing. After you became a shareholder, I feel that the business is better."
Jiang Dongyuan deals with entrepreneurs all day long, but he admires Du Shaojie the most.
If you don't look at other things, just look at the cash flow. There are really not many people who can compare with the other party's company.
"I am responsible for investing money and giving ideas, and they do everything."
Du Shaojie smiled. The fish restaurant is now, and Wu Dazhu and his wife have made great contributions.
Jiang Dongyuan smiled and nodded, then changed the subject: "Mr. Du, Mr. Pang is said to be under great financial pressure. Is there any problem with the operation? He called me a few days ago and said he wanted to borrow another sum of money."
"Oh? Mr. Pang wants another loan? I don't know about this. As for the operation of [Shuweixiang Old Hotpot], it's OK. The capital is tight, mainly because of the previous expansion. It will be much better in the future."
Du Shaojie really didn't know that Pang Weidong asked Jiang Dongyuan for a loan. It stands to reason that the expansion of the company has come to an end temporarily, and the cash flow should have improved.
The previous fight between Pang Weidong and Hu Xiaohua actually had little impact on the company's overall performance.
"Then I understand."
Jiang Dongyuan did not agree to Pang Weidong this time. One of the important reasons was that the previous loan had not been paid off, and in principle, no new loan would be issued.
But for Du Shaojie's face, he had to ask.
The other party didn't know anything, so Jiang Dongyuan had an idea that Pang Weidong's loan request might need to be carefully reviewed.
Several people were enjoying the cool breeze by the lake, fishing and chatting.
At noon, they ate barbecue and drank beer in the self-service barbecue area, which was a special experience.
"President Jiang, is your branch very busy?"
After dinner, several people played cards in the house.
Du Shaojie thought of Xiaomei's matter and asked casually.
"Yes, the lower the level, the busier it is. President Du, are you worried about Xiaomei? Her performance is obvious to all, and her work achievements are remarkable. It won't hurt to let her exercise more."
Jiang Dongyuan smiled and gave Du Shaojie a hint.
It seems that Du Xiaomei will not be in her current position for long, and she may be promoted.
Du Shaojie shook his head slightly. He couldn't comment on other people's work, so he had to put this matter aside for the time being.
Several people played until the afternoon and left one after another. When Du Shaojie returned home, he just received a call from Pang Weidong. He had also thought about contacting the other party to ask about the loan.
"Ajie, it's not that I want to continue to expand. It's the sequelae of the last incident. Recently, it's the peak period for repayment. I can't extend the period of several large loans. It's really a bit difficult."
Pang Weidong explained that he had a fight with Hu Xiaohua before, and later involved both families.
Although the matter has been settled, several banks in Beijing have adopted a strategy of not helping each other, which made his plan of borrowing new money to repay old debts fail. As
a last resort, he called Jiang Dongyuan to test the situation, but the situation was not optimistic.
"I will talk to President Jiang later to see if he can help you."
Du Shaojie has always felt that Pang Weidong is too aggressive in doing business. On the surface, he is making great progress, but in fact, he has buried hidden dangers. Under such circumstances, the capital chain of [Shuweixiang Old Hot Pot] is very easy to break.
But he did not show any impatience, and gave the other party an ambiguous sentence.
"Ajie, I did something wrong before, and I should have listened to your advice. In this way, I only need temporary turnover, and the company's cash flow will be greatly improved in three months. You tell President Jiang that I will only lend for half a year.
Next, I will not rush to expand, and I will settle down in the next one to two years."
Pang Weidong reviewed his previous practices, hoping to get Du Shaojie's support.
Du Shaojie said "hmm", but he was thinking in his heart that he hoped that the other party could learn from experience and lessons and be more stable in the future. Although doing business requires seizing the initiative, it is necessary to consider the issue of capital chain and not be too aggressive.
The next day.
He went to Jiang Dongyuan's office and had a good chat with him.
"President Pang's business activities are normal. The problem is that the company has developed too fast and has a high debt ratio. I can say responsibly that if we give President Pang three to six months, he will be able to completely restore his hematopoietic function."
Banks are most afraid of loans going down the drain. Du Shaojie seized the key point and analyzed the current situation of [Shuweixiang Old Hot Pot] to Jiang Dongyuan.
As long as the company stops expanding blindly and takes a breath, all loans can be repaid, and there will be no problems with bad debts and dead debts. After all, the business of each hot pot store is very good, and it can provide a lot of positive cash flow every day.
"President Du, I will definitely give you face. Let's do this. I will lead a team to inspect it myself. As long as the fundamentals of President Pang's company are fine, I will issue this loan to him."
Jiang Dongyuan is very experienced. He immediately made his own judgment after listening to Du Shaojie.
Du Shaojie did not interrupt his work, thanked him, and left.
The rest of the matter is between Pang Weidong and Jiang Dongyuan. Although he is the second largest shareholder of the company, he does not participate in the operation and management, and it is not convenient for him to come forward for these matters.
A few days later.
Pang Weidong called and said that Jiang Dongyuan had indeed led people to inspect the various stores of [Shuweixiang Old Hotpot]. The first stop for the bank's people was Beijing, and then they selected several other cities.
After Jiang Dongyuan returned to Guangzhou, he agreed to lend money.
Du Shaojie also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The harm of a broken capital chain is extremely great, and the company may go bankrupt. In any case, he also has some shares in Pang Weidong's company.
Pang Weidong got the loan from Jiang Dongyuan and cleared all the previous accounts.
Then, he convened a high-level meeting of the company and revised the development plan. There will be no blind expansion in the next one or two years. Of course, not blindly expanding does not mean not expanding. This needs to be seen based on the actual situation.
Du Shaojie's life has returned to peace. He buys groceries and cooks every day, which is very leisurely.
Unconsciously, he had more and more titles, such as the winner of the special prize of the National Youth (Chef) Skills Competition, the title of the Top Ten Chefs of Guangdong Province, and the title of the Master of Sichuan Cuisine.
But he was no different from before, staying at home and rarely going out, even rarely going to the association.
One day.
Luo Sankun came to the door.
"Mr. Du, now people in the association say that you are too arrogant and it is difficult to see you. Nowadays, there is a long line of people waiting for you to cook, and I am under a lot of pressure."
"Master Luo, you are also teasing me. Our association is not a canteen. Where do people come from to wait for me to cook? Are you forcing me to cook?"
Du Shaojie felt that the other party was exaggerating. He also reflected on whether he should worry about the affairs of the association a little bit. Is Lao Luo resentful?
In fact, he really wronged the other party.
"Do you think I'm kidding? What I said is true. People outside found the association through various relationships and wanted to taste the dishes you cook. Who made your reputation more and more famous now?"
Luo Sankun spread his hands, looking very innocent.
There are many successful people and social elites among these people. Some of them even paid tens of thousands of yuan just to invite Du Shaojie to cook a table of dishes.
Moreover, this market trend is still bullish.
After listening to Luo Sankun's explanation, Du Shaojie was a little amused. Isn't this nonsense?
"Let's do this, Master Luo, I won't make it difficult for you. In the future, as long as I am in Yangcheng, I will go to [Xichuan Restaurant] one day a week to cook a table of dishes. Customers need to make an appointment in advance.
The dishes are easy to say, you can prepare more, but you have to set a minimum consumption, not counting drinks, temporarily set at 10,000 yuan."
Du Shaojie felt that he was a chef, and the value of his labor was included in the price of the dishes. It was impossible to charge extra, and he didn't lack that little money.
But he always stayed at home and didn't show up, and others thought he was so arrogant, so he came up with this trick.
"Okay, in this way, people outside will have nothing to say."
Luo Sankun actually wanted Du Shaojie to cook a few more tables that day, but he was afraid that the other party would not agree, so he didn't say much.
Anyway, as long as the other party is willing to make a move, some things can be done slowly.
"Let me make it clear first. I often go out, so I can't do anything during that time. I have to make this clear to everyone."
Du Shaojie set such a high threshold because he didn't want to make himself too tired. He
was also secretly expressing his dissatisfaction. Who let these people force him to cook? (End of this chapter)
