Chapter 403 Follow the Trend



Time flies.

[Yuedong Entertainment] The simultaneous opening of KTV halls in Guangzhou and Shenzhen represents a solid step forward in the company's transformation.

Du Shaojie no longer immerses himself in practicing cooking skills. He has now started a new study, which is to find the law of changes in customer tastes. This study requires a large amount of data, which means extensive communication with consumers.

Fortunately, he is not fighting alone, otherwise it would be an almost impossible task.

"President Luo, please help me with something."

Du Shaojie first called Luo Sankun. With so many member units in the association, it is relatively easy to collect data.

"President Du, look at what you said. It's a small matter. What trouble is it? I will definitely do it."

After Luo Sankun put down the phone, he started to arrange this matter.

He not only assigned the task of collecting data to each member unit, but also asked for support from catering associations in other cities with whom he had exchanges.

The effect was better than Du Shaojie expected. There was enough data and the coverage of the data samples was also broad.

Meng Gang also collected data for him, but the data of the catering company has more uses. After Du Shaojie copied a copy, he asked the company to keep the original file.

When the rules are found in the future, these data can be used as the basis for adjusting the dishes of each store.

After repeated research, Du Shaojie finally concluded that the changes in customer tastes are similar to the changes in fashion trends. There is no reason to explain, but a certain degree of prediction can be made before the change.

The most important thing is that when the trend comes, we should follow the trend instead of going against it.

After he came to the basic conclusion, he handed the relevant research results to Meng Gang. The company will designate a special person to conduct in-depth research, combine the relevant data of each store, and constantly adjust the variety and taste of the dishes.

To put it bluntly, it is to find ways to cater to consumers, so as to be invincible in the competition.

"The research results are not perfect, and new content will be added slowly in the future."

Du Shaojie was not very satisfied. The research results still lacked the support of underlying data.

The previous data sources were basically concentrated in mid-to-high-end catering, while low-end catering such as street stalls, night markets, etc., did not have corresponding data.

When doing this kind of research, the more data samples and the wider the coverage, the more reliable the conclusions will be.

It is not a fundamental impact, so we can only wait and see.

"Okay, let's go to the training center."

Du Shaojie wanted to relax for a few days. He was always facing boring data and was almost moldy.

The training center is currently training the chefs of [Shuweixiang Old Hot Pot]. In addition to requiring uniform taste, it also clarified the process specifications of each link.

Such an enterprise is not a place to show personality, but to pay attention to standards and specifications.

"Mr. Du, are you here?"

Walking into the building of the training center, Chu Linlin, who had received the news in advance, was waiting in the lobby.

Du Shaojie nodded and asked the other party to take him to the training class of the hot pot restaurant. Today's training center can accommodate multiple sub-brands for training at the same time, providing a strong boost to the development of catering companies.

Chu Linlin led the boss upstairs and took a look at the hot pot restaurant training class.

The training class is divided into two parts, one is routine operation, and the other is the production of hot pot base and dipping sauce. These two parts are taught separately. Liao Yongxin and Zhou Huai'en went out for a while and returned to Yangcheng to guest-star as training instructors.

"Master, Master Zhou, how are you recently?"

Du Shaojie chatted with them for a while during the break.

After Zhou Huai'en was discharged from the hospital in Chengdu, he returned to Yangcheng with Liao Yongxin and his old lover.

He was too lazy to mention marriage. He had a house in Yangcheng and the woman had a house in Chengdu. It was like the two of them were living together. As long as they were happy, that was enough.

Liao Yongxin took his wife with him wherever he went. He had already settled down in Yangcheng. Naturally, he had to go home after playing enough.

"Good, everything is fine."

Zhou Huai'en laughed. He was in a good mood and liked everyone.

Liao Yongxin also said that he was doing well. He had a different opinion on the backbone of the hot pot restaurant.

"Ajie, you still need to improve their cooking skills. Although you gave them the same recipe and production process, the bases they made are different."

He said it politely, but in fact he meant that these people's cooking skills were too poor and they couldn't control the basic seasoning.

"Okay, Master, let's add some training content for them next."

These people are the backbone of the hot pot restaurant. If they are not in the restaurant for a long time, it will definitely have an impact, but the impact is not great.

Du Shaojie listened to Liao Yongxin's advice and planned to conduct special training for these people.

He then discussed with Chu Linlin and changed the training content, adding 15 days of special training. In the additional half a month, he planned to personally train these people in their weak links.

During this period, he had almost no income. Only 10 dishes received the comprehensive evaluation of "Phoenix Marrow and Dragon Liver", which increased 10,000 exchange points and 200,000 hours.

However, he still had a lot of remaining exchange points and time, and he could afford to use up the title of "Gold Medal Lecturer" for 4 hours every day.

After half a month, these people felt that they had gained a lot. They were Du Shaojie's direct lineage, and they were proven to be trustworthy people. The future development of the hot pot restaurant still depended on them.

Although half a month was short, with the five-fold learning effect, these people had made great progress in seasoning, heat control, etc.

Liao Yongxin and Zhou Huai'en looked at them with envy. Their level was not bad, so why was the teaching effect so far behind?

Du Shaojie thought, it's a pity that you don't have the blessing of the title, otherwise I would have to bankrupt you. In fifteen days, he consumed 3 million hours, which made him feel a little distressed.

[Exchange points: 1749918 points\4223066 points]

[Duration: 12.84 million hours\74.613 million hours]

In the evening.

Du Shaojie, Ye Weiming, Jiang Dongyuan, Dong Yushu and others went to [Seafood House] for dinner. After dinner, Ye Weiming suggested going to sing, so the group went to the newly opened KTV karaoke hall.

The karaoke hall was decorated magnificently, much more than the previous karaoke karaoke halls, and the decoration cost was more than two or three times higher.

They didn't come late, but the karaoke hall was already very lively. If there was no reservation, it would be basically difficult to find an empty private room. However, Du Shaojie was a major shareholder of the entertainment company, so this matter was not difficult for him.

The manager of the karaoke hall came to receive them in person, and then led them to the most luxurious private room.

"Mr. Du, this place is better than I thought. The consumption is not low, right?"

Dong Yushu calculated the total investment and couldn't help shaking his head. The investment in this karaoke bar is quite large, and ordinary people really can't afford it.

He then asked about the consumption level, and Du Shaojie said he didn't know. It was his first time here and he didn't understand it.

Later, when the manager came over, he explained the confusion to Dong Yushu. After listening, the other party couldn't help but feel it was outrageous. An ordinary person's annual salary may not be enough to come here to play once.

Of course, this is the most expensive private room. The general private room does not have such a high consumption, probably a few times that of this private room.

Jiang Dongyuan glanced at Du Shaojie. He knew that Boss Du had shares in the entertainment company, and he couldn't help but admire his ability to make money. He is a giant in the catering industry and his investment is also very successful. It's really enviable.

Later.

The manager went to make arrangements, and several young ladies came to serve them. These young ladies are waiters in the karaoke bar, not those who rush to the scene. They mainly pour wine for them, order songs and set off the atmosphere.

Jiang Dongyuan and others thought this arrangement was good. They had some concerns at first, but now they are gone.

After the drinks came up, everyone started to order songs. No one expected that Jiang Dongyuan could sing well, especially some old songs. He sang them with great momentum and won a round of applause.

"Mr. Du, let me see your pager."

Everyone had a good relationship, so Dong Yushu was not polite and asked for the pager that Du Shaojie brought to have a look.

This pager was a sample given to him by Liu Zijian. The new factory jointly built by the two had been completed long ago, and the products had been put on the market for sale.

"The machine is good, this brand is a little worse, but after our testing, the quality is not worse than imported products. Mr. Du, I'm really a little jealous of you. How did you think of investing in the production of pagers?"

Dong Yushu's company also built a paging station. The company sells pagers of various brands. Liu Zijian's products entered the company's procurement list through him.

For this matter, Du Shaojie even invited Dong Yushu to dinner alone.

"Mr. Liu from the BB machine factory and I have always cooperated. This time he wanted to open a BB machine factory and asked me to invest, so I did. That's the thing. I didn't think too much at the time. Now it seems that I'm lucky."

Du Shaojie has always been more active than he is talkative. He attributed it all to luck.

In fact, if someone carefully investigates, they will find that in addition to being a big shot in the catering industry, Chef Du has never failed in foreign investment.

He knows that he is not an investment genius. He has seized opportunities one after another just by relying on his decades of experience. So he has always been very low-key and never shows off in various occasions.

"Luck? Haha, if you say so, then it is. You not only invested in the BB machine production factory, but also invested in the paging station early. Really, you have such vision, you deserve to make money."

Dong Yushu didn't say much, and then clinked glasses with Du Shaojie and went to sing.

Du Shaojie didn't have time to see Sun Zhenguo during this period, but he still understood the business situation.

The management of the paging station is basically composed of people sent by [Huaxin Investment]. The general manager is Sun Zhenguo, and Ye Weiming does not participate in the operation and management, which means that [Huaxin Investment] firmly controls the direction of the paging station.

At present, the paging station has been rolled out across the country. In addition to Guangzhou and Shenzhen, cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Xingcheng, Chang'an, Chengdu, Hangzhou, and Jinling have opened paging services.

The number of service users has exceeded 7.5 million, making it the largest non-state-owned paging station. (End of this chapter)
