Time flies.
The police officers of the Commercial Crime Investigation Division approached Du Shaojie several times, but Du Shaojie said that he had no new information to provide.
He felt that this would not work, so he asked Liang Meiqin to contact a well-known law firm and hired a barrister to handle the matter. In fact, the company has a legal advisor, but he is not very good at this aspect.
Then he refused to answer the police's questions unless the other party could produce new evidence to prove that he was related to the case.
The barrister came forward to communicate, and the police gave up the idea of opening a gap from Du Shaojie.
The trading company also quickly settled an old case, and the investigation that had a great impact was temporarily stopped. However, Du Shaojie did not change his mind and continued to promote the listing plan of the trading company to the best of his ability.
"Mr. Du, Mr. Liu of the trading company wants to invite you to dinner. Do you want to agree to it?"
That day, Winnie came to Du Shaojie's office and told him something.
Before, although Dingxin International and the trading company were also in a cooperative relationship, the senior executives of both sides rarely interacted. Now after a series of twists and turns, the boss of the other party took the lead in extending an olive branch.
The dinner must be a pretext. The two sides should have important things to discuss after they meet.
"Well, agree to the other party. It's better to set the time for tomorrow night."
Du Shaojie did not refuse. The trading company is still relatively honest in business, and the cooperation between the two sides has always been very pleasant. This face should still be given.
However, he will still cash out when he should, after all, he is not optimistic about the long-term development of the trading company.
The next day.
Director Liu invited Du Shaojie to a banquet in a seafood restaurant. Director Liu is about 40 years old and has a very good eloquence.
"Mr. Du, I toast you a glass to thank you for your trust in my company and your great help. Alas, it is said that a journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength. Now I have seen clearly that you are a friend worthy of trust."
Director Liu was very polite and spoke beautifully.
Du Shaojie picked up the glass and clinked it with the other party, and the chatterbox opened up.
"Boss Liu, has the company's listing been finalized?"
"It's finalized! We will ring the bell on the 23rd of this month. Thank you, Boss Du, for your support."
"No, no, I can't help much."
Both of them smiled and said things that the other wanted to hear, and the atmosphere became better and better.
When the foreplay was almost over, Boss Liu got to the point:
"Boss Du, I know you are not optimistic about the company's long-term development, otherwise you would not transfer the equity at this juncture. I can only say that I admire your vision, but you may not understand some details."
Dingxin International naturally needs to obtain the consent of the major shareholder to sell half of its equity. In this matter, Boss Liu did not set any obstacles and agreed very readily.
His bringing up of the old matter today was naturally a lead.
Then, he expressed his own ideas and hoped to continue to cooperate with Du Shaojie.
"I am very optimistic about the field of personal communications. For example, I think there is a lot of potential for paging stations. Mr. Du, you know that my foundation in the mainland is still too shallow. If I want to vigorously promote this project, I have to cooperate with you."
Mr. Liu didn't care about Du Shaojie's reduction of his shareholding. Everyone has their own ideas, and he won't say anything.
But he still wants to continue to cooperate with him, so he invited Du Shaojie to dinner.
Du Shaojie nodded secretly. Mr. Liu's vision is really good. Starting a new layout when the switch business is at its peak shows that he has a deep understanding of the communications industry.
"Oh? How do you want to cooperate with me?"
Du Shaojie knows very well how strong the development momentum of paging stations and pagers is. Now the lotus has just begun to show its tip, and many people will make a lot of money in the future, even if the life of this industry is only a short ten years.
Mr. Liu has secured the agency rights for paging station equipment and pagers, and the remaining question is how to expand the business.
"It would be great if you hadn't sold your shares. Then we can just cooperate as before. Now that you've sold your shares, why don't we set up a joint venture company in the mainland to specialize in paging equipment and pagers? What do you think?"
Mr. Liu's meaning was very clear. He wanted to use Du Shaojie's connections in the mainland to quickly open up the market.
The initial investment for this kind of business is not much, but sales are the key.
"Okay, that's it. Let the people below talk about the specifics. Come on, let's drink."
The two quickly reached a consensus and stopped talking.
Then they only talked about love and romance instead of business. When they left, Mr. Liu was already a little drunk.
A few days passed quickly.
The trading company was successfully listed. Given the company's good performance in recent years, the stock price performed quite well.
Du Shaojie had one thing on his mind and returned to Guangzhou.
Peng Yongjun stayed in Hong Kong, and Zhong Qing and Xu Youlian followed him.
Not long after returning, Xu Bo and Pang Weidong came to Guangzhou. The three of them sat together and summarized the development of the karaoke bar from its opening to the present.
There are now more than 100 karaoke bars across the country, and they are all running well. The net profit brought in every month is more than 20 million yuan, a real cash cow.
"I plan to pay back part of the loan first, and then continue to expand. Does Mr. Du have any objection?"
Xu Bo was in high spirits. The profit of several hundred million yuan a year made him a little inflated.
Pang Weidong hesitated to speak, and seemed very entangled. The benefits brought by expansion are tempting, but reason tells him that if he continues like this, there may be problems.
Du Shaojie glanced at Xu Bo, a little helpless.
"I have no objection, but have you asked others? We are a chain operation. Although we have established a relatively reliable network of relationships in various places, we can't offend all the local snakes after all."
The strong dragon does not suppress the local snakes. The development to this scale has indeed established a firm foothold in various places, and generally no one will come to cause trouble.
But if you eat meat and leave no soup for others, the local snakes who are ruthless are not easy to deal with. After all,
people can't be too greedy, not to mention that the entertainment industry is very deep, and you may get yourself into trouble.
"Yes, I agree with Mr. Du's opinion. Mr. Xu, some things are too much or too little, it's better to keep the fruits of victory, what do you think?"
Pang Weidong also expressed his opposition, which was like pouring a bucket of cold water on Xu Bo's head.
Xu Bo realized that he was a little arrogant. Either of the two opponents had a deeper network of contacts than himself, especially Pang Weidong. The business has been smooth sailing now, and the other party has made a lot of efforts behind the scenes.
Now Du Shaojie and Pang Weidong are very cautious, and I am afraid that I am wrong.
"Well, let's stop expanding and work hard to do the existing business well."
Although a little unwilling, Xu Bo still gave up the expansion plan.
Next, the three reached a consensus that after the loan was paid off, dividends would be distributed once a quarter, and the company did not need to keep so much cash in the account.
After discussing the business, Xu Bo and Pang Weidong played in Guangzhou for two days.
The main purpose was to eat the dishes made by Du Shaojie. To be honest, even if they went to a well-known restaurant, the quality of the dishes could not compare with the dishes made by the other party himself.
Facing the two partners, Chef Du did not refuse.
In the morning.
Du Shaojie took Wang Yongli and others to buy vegetables in person, and cooked a table of [Fujian cuisine] at noon.
However, there was no [Buddha Jumps Over the Wall] among the dishes. This dish needs to be prepared several days in advance, and it is too late to make it now.
[Drunken Spare Ribs], [Hakka Sashimi], [Chicken Soup with Sea Clams], [Minnan Ginger Duck], [Light Fermented Rice Wine Conch Slices], [Osmanthus Crab Meat], [Half Moon Sinking into the River] and other dishes were served on the table one by one.
Pang Weidong and Xu Bo were very satisfied with the food. They had not eaten these dishes much before, and they did not expect them to be so delicious.
They are both rich now, but the problem is that they may not be able to eat such high-level dishes even if they are rich.
"Boss Du, it's not easy to taste the dishes you cook. It's not a matter of money. Can you still be short of money? Boss Xu and I are so lucky to have you as a friend!"
Unconsciously, Pang Weidong was a little drunk.
This guy speaks without taboos after drinking, and it is normal for him to have a fragrant mouth.
Du Shaojie looked at him unhappily, grabbed the bottle and filled his glass. Drink it, and when he is completely drunk, his ears will be quiet.
Xu Bo laughed secretly on the side, stretched out his foot and kicked Pang Weidong.
Pang Weidong suddenly sobered up and said helplessly: "Ajie, do you really want to get me drunk? I won't fall for your trick, no more wine, let's eat!"
The host and guest had a meal, and the next day, Pang Weidong and Xu Bo left separately.
Du Shaojie stayed quietly in Yangcheng, and even broke the habit of going to Beijing once a month. However, at the end of the month, Qi Yan returned to Yangcheng with her daughter. After a few nice words, his anger disappeared.
"Husband, Meiqin helped me find an investment of 50 million Hong Kong dollars. The other party wanted 20% of the company's shares, but I didn't agree."
Financing is not the purpose. Qi Yan's purpose is to go public in Hong Kong. But the investor's appetite is relatively large, which touched her bottom line, so the deal was not reached.
"If it didn't work out, then it doesn't work out. Going public is a natural thing, there's no need to force it. If you really want to grow bigger and stronger, go to the bank for a loan. Once you have performance, everything will be easy."
After all, she was his woman, so Du Shaojie pointed out to her.
Going public has its pros and cons. The core of running a business is still scale and profit. When the conditions are not ripe, blindly launching the listing application process will result in half the effort and twice the result, and there may be obstacles everywhere.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, but you have to help me contact the bank. My words are not as effective as yours."
Qi Yan actually figured it out a few days ago. It was precisely because of her lack of strength that the investors asked for so much. If her strength was strong enough, there would definitely be many investors rushing to give her money.
As for the loan, it's easy to handle. As long as Du Shaojie is willing to help, isn't it a piece of cake?
"Okay, I'll talk to President Jiang later. With him, the loan is not a problem."
Du Shaojie nodded and agreed without hesitation.
Of course, he would guarantee the loan in the name of the catering company, so that the loan would be issued quickly. (End of this chapter)
