"Yanzi, I'm reorganizing the hot pot restaurants recently, and I may have to fire a group of people. Let's not talk about anything else, you go back and
make arrangements, each hot pot restaurant will need a large number of back kitchen staff." The people who master the hot pot base recipes and production processes in each hot pot restaurant are all Du Shaojie's people.
There is no need to worry about this, but a large number of junior chefs, vegetable cutters, and side dish positions will be vacant. He needs to absorb fresh blood, otherwise it will be difficult to reverse the trend.
"Haha, my husband still has a way."
Qi Yan was very happy. The most important thing for a chef training school is the employment rate. Although hot pot restaurants need low-end talents, they can still bring a good reputation to the school.
With the cooperation of Qi Yan, Du Shaojie adjusted the back kitchen staff, service staff, and
finally the managers of each store. After strict assessment, about half of the people were unqualified and were fired, and a group of new people were hired again.
The managers who stayed don't need to change places. After all, each store has completed the personnel sorting, and the store managers can't do it all.
Next, the store managers were trained in rotation and the waiters were trained on the job. The atmosphere of all the stores of [Shuweixiang Old Hotpot] changed. The situation of everyone slacking off disappeared, and the waiters who were indifferent to customers also disappeared.
Du Shaojie adjusted the salary structure, compressed the basic salary, and linked the performance salary with the assessment, and established a customer complaint feedback system.
To put it bluntly, it is to impress consumers with good ingredients, excellent service, and better taste, and retain customers.
He stayed in Beijing for almost two months before sorting out everything. Then he handed over the management of the company to Pang Weidong, and drove back to Guangzhou with Wang Yongli and others.
This time he did not upgrade the formula of the hot pot base. The previous decline in the hot pot restaurant's business was not a problem of taste, but a large group of people committing suicide.
Pang Weidong has been slack in the past two years and has taken a laissez-faire attitude towards the hot pot restaurant.
The root cause is simple. Cleaning it up and re-establishing rules can solve the problem. However, it is hard to say how long the rectification effect can last. The rest depends on Pang Weidong.
Pang Weidong is better than before, but most of his energy is still focused on the karaoke bar.
He and Xu Bo acted separately and began to transfer karaoke bars outside first-tier cities in batches. It was not a big sale, but a forced sale.
Now is the peak of karaoke bars. Any karaoke bar under "Yuedong Entertainment" can be described as making a fortune.
If there is no "Yuedong" sign, then there is no need to hang it. The place is still the same place, and the equipment is still the same equipment. It does not affect anything.
Yuedong Entertainment quietly began to withdraw on a large scale, and almost no one noticed it. Isn't this what many people want? They did so many things before just to get a piece of the pie. Now that the fat meat is in their mouths, they are of course very satisfied.
No one cares about the loser who left the stage sadly.
But no one knows that the behind-the-scenes bosses of "Yuedong Entertainment", Du Shaojie, Pang Weidong, and Xu Bo, are drinking happily in Yangcheng. After a few years of hard work, the revenue brought by Yuedong Entertainment is more than a small goal?
Then each karaoke bar was sold at a good price, and even Du Shaojie was in a very good mood.
Xu Bo and Pang Weidong began to imagine the next investment. They planned to invest in a KTV karaoke hall in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. This model has gradually emerged in Hong Kong and the island country, and it is only a matter of time before it becomes popular in the mainland.
"Ajie, I really don't have the energy to manage the hot pot restaurant anymore. How about this? I will transfer another 20% of the shares to you, and the hot pot restaurant will be managed by your catering company in the future. How about that?"
Although the investment in the next KTV is huge, Pang Weidong is not short of money.
He knew that he would not have the energy to manage the hot pot restaurant in the future, so he came up with this idea.
Du Shaojie's heart moved. He already owned 40% of the shares of [Shuweixiang Old Hot Pot]. If he took another 20% of the shares, he would become the largest shareholder and a relatively controlling shareholder.
"I need to think about this matter. Don't worry. I will get back to you later."
Du Shaojie did not agree immediately because he still had to discuss it with Meng Gang and others.
After a few days.
Meng Gang came to Guangzhou to report to his boss, and he told him about this.
Meng Gang was overjoyed when he heard this. After all, Pang Weidong's asking price was not high, and there was almost no premium. Because before the transfer of shares, there will be a dividend, and the remaining net assets will not be that much.
The catering industry is an asset-light industry. Unless the store is your own, there are not many assets on the books. The evaluation mainly depends on profitability.
The reorganized hot pot restaurant is in the stage of bottoming out and recovering, so it is reasonable that the valuation is not high.
"Mr. Du, let's take down that hot pot restaurant. It will be good."
Meng Gang still has a dream of going public in his heart, so he cares about the expansion of the scale of the enterprise.
It would be a pity if such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was not seized.
"Well, then transfer my equity to the company together."
The funds that Du Shaojie directly invested in the hot pot restaurant were his own "private money" and were not passed through the catering company.
He thought that what Meng Gang said made sense, so he transferred 40% of his shares together. After some operations, [Shencheng Bailian Catering Management Company] acquired 60% of the shares of [Shuweixiang Old Hot Pot] and successfully incorporated the other party into its own.
Du Shaojie appointed Fang Zeyang to be in charge of Shuweixiang Hotpot. Fang Zeyang is his confidant. He has done a good job in the hotpot restaurant over the years and has outstanding abilities in all aspects.
The scale of the catering management company Dafeng has expanded again, and its profitability has also made a leap.
The foundation of the hot pot restaurant was already very good. After the efforts of Meng Gang, Fang Zeyang and others, the business situation returned to its peak in just a few months.
Although Pang Weidong gave up some of his interests, he still had 40% of the shares, and he was a winner on both sides.
He and Xu Bo selected stores in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, and then took Du Shaojie to Xiangjiang, under the pretext of "visiting and inspecting".
It was the first time for Du Shaojie to enter a KTV in Xiangjiang in all these years. He was still okay, after all, he had seen it in his previous life, while Pang Weidong and Xu Bo were shocked by the luxurious decoration and groups of beautiful young ladies here.
"Mr. Du, um, are these the legendary young ladies?"
"What young ladies? Don't talk nonsense. They are young ladies who can give you warmth."
The three of them walked into the private room, and the public relations manager led a dozen beautiful young ladies for them to choose.
Fortunately, Pang Weidong and Xu Bo have also seen the world, otherwise they would definitely not be able to control the situation. But the two were overwhelmed by the choices, and finally Du Shaojie made the decision for them.
"What are you standing there for? Go order some songs."
Perhaps because Du Shaojie was handsome, the young lady kept rubbing against him.
He reached out and patted her round, fleshy part, telling her to order some songs instead of staring at her face and pockets.
Pang Weidong and Xu Bo were both veterans, and they found their way back after a little adaptation, and had a great time. Of course, they didn't forget their business, and ordered a lot of expensive drinks, and the manager of the KTV answered all their questions.
These bosses were obviously from the mainland, and there was no competition between them, so it was okay to reveal some business secrets.
"Damn, the drinks here are so expensive. They dare to sell a hundred yuan of wine for thousands of yuan. It's totally a robbery, but I like it."
Pang Weidong laughed and felt that this visit to Hong Kong was definitely a wise move.
He took his hand out of her clothes, raised his glass, and drank three glasses with Xu Bo.
Seeing that they had already started to pull people to the bathroom, Du Shaojie said, "Be careful and take precautions."
He stood up and walked to the song-selecting machine and tried to use it. The current equipment is a bit inferior after all, but it can be used and will not affect the personal experience.
The three of them played until midnight, then paid the bill and left, and no one did anything extra.
Several young ladies were very disappointed. Why didn't these bosses take them out for supper? As long as they had this intention, the sisters were willing to go out.
It's a pity that the three of them left on their own.
Du Shaojie asked Wang Yongli to send Pang Weidong and Xu Bo back to the hotel. He got in Zou Xiaohe's car and went to Liang Meiqin's residence.
"Man, where have you been fooling around? You smell like cigarettes, alcohol, and vixen."
Du Shaojie had a clear smell of perfume on his body. Liang Meiqin smelled it as soon as he entered the door, so she joked with him.
"Really? Then I'll go take a shower first."
He didn't care. After taking a shower, he came out and told Liang Meiqin about the inspection.
He didn't have much patience to accompany the two guys, so he would let them go by themselves next time, and at most let Peng Yongjun and Zhong Qing protect their safety.
Xu Bo and Pang Weidong actually had similar tastes, and when he was not there, the two of them had more fun.
The next day.
Du Shaojie invited the two to the Qin Group's seafood restaurant for dinner, and called Winnie over by the way, asking her to finalize the KTV equipment. Although the equipment only accounted for a small part of the total investment, it was still very important.
When Pang Weidong and Xu Bo saw that the other party called Winnie over, they knew that this guy wanted to get rid of it again.
But it didn't matter, who let him be a big deal, with a lot of elite soldiers under his command, and naturally let others do things when there were things.
In the evening.
Pang Weidong and Xu Bo continued their nightlife. This time they came out not only to inspect the equipment and decoration, but also to find out the customer composition of KTV.
No matter what business you do, you must first find the right positioning, and the positioning must be clear.
What level of consumers you are facing and what means you can use to retain this level of customers are more important than other hardware conditions.
In fact, the same is true for the catering business. Sometimes the business collapses very quickly and for no reason.
The quality and taste of the restaurant's dishes have not changed, but customers just don't come. What should I say? Perhaps you can understand it from another perspective. You did nothing wrong, but the taste of customers has changed.
Du Shaojie returned to Liang Meiqin's place at night and recorded this feeling. (End of this chapter)
