"What can I say? Just do it as you see fit."
Pang Weidong didn't care about this little thing at all, and hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
He brought two girls back last night and slept very late. He hasn't gotten up yet, so he turned over and went back to sleep.
Du Shaojie has long been accustomed to Pang Weidong's style. When this guy is desperate, he is really desperate. When he is free and dissolute, he is a real prodigal.
He then had breakfast and asked Zou Xiaohe to take him to the association.
The affairs of the association cannot be taken lightly. The president has torn his face with him. Both sides have no way out. Either the east wind will prevail over the west wind, or the west wind will prevail over the east wind.
He came to the office, and Luo Sanlun followed him in.
"Mr. Du, this is the list of people participating in the collective purchase. Those who went to dinner yesterday signed the agreement. Who do you think will handle this matter next?"
Luo Sankun was still talking about yesterday's incident. It is inevitable that a single restaurant will suffer losses when purchasing goods. Bundling together can greatly increase the bargaining power.
The job is a tough one, but if it is done well, the individual may get some benefits.
"You can handle this matter. I believe in your ability."
Du Shaojie smiled and waved his hand, handing the matter over to Luo Sankun.
Luo Sankun was naturally very happy, and said a few trivial things, then got up and left.
Du Shaojie sat in the office for a while, dealing with some trivial matters, and then Wang Yongli came in with a suitcase.
"Is the money ready?"
"Yes, it's all ready."
"Okay, follow me."
Du Shaojie then took Wang Yongli to the finance office and donated 200,000 yuan in the name of [Shuweixiang Old Hot Pot].
This money goes directly into the public account of the association, and it is used for a specific purpose and can be used for various activities. According to the unwritten rules, Du Shaojie has the right to control the money he has brought in.
After all, he is the vice president.
Then Du Shaojie sent someone to inform the president that a meeting would be held in the conference room. As for the number of executive directors, it only takes a formality to be determined.
As a result, the president said that he was not feeling well and had to go to the hospital for treatment, so
he asked Du Shaojie to call a meeting. "The president's face is too embarrassing, so it's okay for him not to go."
Du Shaojie didn't care about him, this was all agreed upon before. Now that the donation has been paid, of course the benefits must be obtained as soon as possible.
The subsequent meeting was uneventful, and the newly added standing director position was given to Liao Yongxin.
At this point, Du Shaojie's voice in the Municipal Association has greatly increased, and the president has to think twice before he wants to do anything else.
In the evening.
When Du Shaojie returned home, Wang Yuxiu had already prepared dinner.
"Xiaojie, let's have soup and rice today. I also bought some beef pies back, in case you are not full."
As the two were talking, Xiaomei brought three large bowls of soup and rice from the kitchen and placed them on the dining table.
Then the beef pies were also served, along with a few small pickles.
"It's good to eat this. I was planning to make soup rice one day. Xiaomei, why did you come back so early today? Are you not busy?"
The family of three sat down to eat. Du Shaojie found that Xiaomei came back earlier than usual today, so he asked with a smile.
"I'm not a machine. You have to let me take a breath, right? Brother, I'm going out for a while and will be back later."
Xiaomei quickly finished her meal, pushed the bowl and chopsticks, and ran into the house.
After a long time, the other party came out. Not only did she change into a beautiful dress, but she also put on light makeup.
Xiaomei hurried out and left. Wang Yuxiu and Du Shaojie looked at each other and felt that Xiaomei was a little bit wrong.
"Maybe she went on a date."
Du Shaojie said with a smile, and then helped his mother clean up the mess.
Although Wang Yuxiu didn't say anything, the smile on her lips betrayed her mood. She must hope that her daughter would get married soon.
Xiaomei didn't come back until after eleven o'clock, saying that she went to see a movie with a friend.
Du Shaojie did not ask any more questions. His elder sister was already an adult and was also a branch manager. She should handle her own affairs.
In the following days, he stayed in the association for a few more days. After Luo Sankun's affairs were settled, he continued to be a hands-off boss. The daily work was handled by Luo Sankun and others. It didn't matter whether he was there or not.
"Yongli, ask Xiao Zou to prepare the car, and let's go to the port."
After a few days of rest, Du Shaojie's ideas gradually matured.
That morning, he took Wang Yongli and others to the refrigerated area of the port to learn about the sales of frozen foods.
Several cold storages were doing good business, but he felt that the facilities of these cold storages were a bit old, and the varieties of food they sold were also of lower quality.
Du Shaojie then went to find the person in charge of the storage area. The other party was introduced by Huang Yong, and he was very respectful.
"The cold storage in the port area has been in use for almost ten years. It was originally a self-use cold storage for the provincial import and export company. It was sold to a foreign businessman a few years ago and then divided and rented out."
"I think the cold storage seems to be a little insufficient now, so no one wants to invest in this project?"
"The construction of cold storage requires a large investment and the effect is slow. I also want to introduce investment, but I have never been able to reach an agreement. Mr. Du, do you have this intention? Don't worry, Director Tang and I are good friends and will definitely give you the best discount."
The person in charge of the storage area noticed Du Shaojie's willingness to invest and was overjoyed.
The storage area relies on the port and has developed well, but the investment in cold storage is huge, and the work of attracting investment is not going smoothly, so it seems a little lagging.
Since someone came to the door, the person in charge must want to do his best to promote this matter.
"There is definitely an intention, but it still needs to be investigated in detail."
Du Shaojie chatted with the other party for an hour and then got up to say goodbye.
He went home and called Liang Meiqin and asked her to send someone to negotiate.
This is a big project, Liang Meiqin attaches great importance to it, and she then sent Winnie to take two people to Yangcheng.
Du Shaojie did not participate in the negotiations in person, but he has been paying attention to this matter. Every day's progress. Winnie would call him to report, and finally won a number of preferential policies.
On the day of signing the contract, Du Shaojie came forward again and signed his name on the contract.
[Xiangjiang Dingxin International Investment Co., Ltd.] will invest HK$28 million in the storage area to build a modern large-scale cold storage. The storage area provided preferential policies and support in all aspects, and Du Shaojie was very satisfied.
Liang Meiqin contacted the equipment supplier in Xiangjiang, and the infrastructure part of the cold storage started soon.
The management of the cold storage was handed over to Meng Gang, who transferred several backbones from the company and re-recruited some personnel to maintain the normal operation of the cold storage in the future.
Du Shaojie plans to rent out part of the cold storage after it is built and operate the other part by himself.
The self-operated part will be in charge of the newly established team. They will establish a stable supply chain during the construction period. In addition to meeting the catering company's own needs, sales will also focus on supplying member units united around Du Shaojie.
This is a once-and-for-all solution that can play an important role in reducing costs and stabilizing supply for catering companies.
Liang Meiqin transferred 28 million Hong Kong dollars to Xiaomei's branch, and Dingxin International opened a special account here for investment in the cold storage project. After
spending this amount, the company's (Hong Kong dollar) account balance still had 25 million Hong Kong dollars.
"Boss Du, you are really generous! The cold storage is very profitable now. Even without our member units, there is no need to worry about business. To be honest, it is still you who has benefited from it."
After this matter was settled, Winnie and others returned to Hong Kong.
A new company was jointly established by [Xiangjiang Dingxin International Investment Co., Ltd.] and [Shencheng Bailian Catering Management Co., Ltd.] for the cold storage. In the future, the operating entity of the cold storage will be this newly established company.
Du Shaojie did not hide it and told Luo Sankun and others the news.
Luo Sankun and others were naturally very happy. Although the group could bargain with the supplier, it would be more reassuring to have the supply chain in their own hands.
"It can't be said to be a favor. It can only be said to be mutually beneficial."
Du Shaojie actually had selfish motives in this matter. After the cold storage was built, he and most of the people in the association were tied together.
In this world, only the bond of interests is the strongest. Strictly speaking, he is the biggest beneficiary.
After finishing this matter, Du Shaojie became quiet.
In the following period of time, he stayed at home most of the time, reading books, cooking, and living a leisurely life.
He still maintained the habit of practicing in simulated scenes every day, but at his level of cooking, it is difficult to improve through a lot of practical operations, and more of a perception is needed.
Therefore, he also put a lot of energy on the research of "innovative dishes".
Sometimes Feng Qingsong would ask Tang Jun to invite Du Shaojie, and he was also happy to cook a few specialties for him. To be honest, Lin Zhiyuan treated him like this, and at most he would cook one or two dishes himself when they gathered at the fish restaurant.
That evening, Du Shaojie and his family of three sat together for dinner as usual.
Wang Yongli suddenly shouted in the yard: "Boss Du, a guest is coming."
Du Shaojie walked out and saw Qi Yan walked in with a smile, holding a travel bag in her hand.
"Yanzi? When did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could pick you up."
"I'm here on a business trip, so you don't have to pick me up."
Du Shaojie said as he took the bag from the other party.
Wang Yuxiu and Xiaomei, who heard the noise, also put down their bowls and chopsticks and came out to greet Qi Yan.
"Sister Yanzi, haven't you eaten yet? I'll get you something to eat."
Xiaomei and Qi Yan are very close, and Wang Yuxiu also likes Qi Yan very much, so they pulled each other into the house to eat.
Because they didn't know that there were guests coming, they didn't cook much dinner, so Xiaomei prepared to cook noodles.
"Xiaomei, take Sister Yanzi's luggage to the room, and I'll fry her a plate of rice noodles."
Du Shaojie stopped his sister, and then went to the kitchen to fry a portion of [Stir-fried Beef Noodles].
Qi Yan was very happy with the meal. With the other party's cooking skills, she could make a delicious dish with just a little effort.
"This time my company asked me to study at Zhongda for three months. Auntie, I will live here."
After eating, Qi Yan and Wang Yuxiu chatted about family matters. (End of this chapter)
