Ye Weiming and Dong Yushu looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces.
They originally thought that Du Shaojie was soft-hearted, but they didn't expect that this guy was really ruthless and actually treated his opponent as a whetstone.
From another perspective, this is to let the opponent bleed slowly, and when he feels the pain, it will be too late.
"What the hell is a whetstone? You are cutting meat with a blunt knife."
Ye Weiming muttered, and then said no more.
"Boss Du, if you have time, please give more advice on the buffet restaurant and self-service barbecue. Boss Ye and I have no experience in catering, but the feedback from customers is very average."
This is the purpose of calling Du Shaojie over. The self-operated part must be done well, otherwise it will affect the image of the entire resort.
"It's a small matter, I will take the time to come and take a look."
Du Shaojie nodded. The resort originally had his share, and he had no choice but to take care of the catering matters.
Ye Weiming and Dong Yushu were very happy. They were most afraid that the other party would ignore the business here. To be honest, there were many things that had to rely on the other party's efforts.
The next day.
Du Shaojie came to the resort in the afternoon.
The resort is open all day, but there are usually not many people in the morning, and there are not many guests at noon. It is mainly lively at night.
After he came, he went directly to the buffet restaurant, took a look around the kitchen first, and then talked with the restaurant manager. He found that the other party was not very good at cost accounting, and many aspects were still in the exploratory stage.
The form of buffet has just emerged in the mainland, and everyone has little experience.
Du Shaojie talked a lot with the other party, including some experience.
"The seasoning can be heavier, with more grilled meat dishes and fewer seafood varieties. In addition, fruits and beverages should be supplied in large quantities, especially beverages, and more varieties should be added."
Du Shaojie asked the manager to make some changes, which can be profitable and attract more customers.
The manager remembered what he said and planned to make some attempts starting tomorrow. The business of the buffet restaurant is very good, leaving him enough room for trial and error, and he is not worried about any problems caused by this attempt.
Du Shaojie then went to the self-service barbecue area. Drawing on the experience of the fish restaurant, the chef will marinate the ingredients in advance. Customers can order what ingredients they need on the spot and then barbecue them by themselves.
"The self-service barbecue is not completely left alone. We still need to send service staff to patrol the site and provide necessary help to customers. Of course, since it is self-service, it must be mainly done by customers."
Du Shaojie didn't say much. Barbecue is also his strong point. He can ask the chefs of [Barbecue Restaurant] or [Fish Restaurant] to train them later.
He looked at both sides and found many problems, but none of them were big problems.
After a period of time, the quality of buffet and self-service barbecue has improved significantly. He no longer comes here every day, and occasionally comes to take a look.
"Mr. Du, this is a document from the company, saying that the Shanzhai noodle restaurant has begun to reduce the number of stores."
Recently, Qi Yan returned to Guangzhou with her children, and Du Shaojie rarely ran around.
This morning, Luo Qin sent him a document related to the Shanzhai store of Li Changsong and others.
Du Shaojie took the document and read it. It said that the Shanzhai store had recently reduced about 20% of its stores. In addition, the other party's Sichuan restaurant did not look very good and was still carrying out various promotional activities.
After reading it, he threw the document on the table.
"Are there any changes in the internal staff of [Xichuan Restaurant]?"
Du Shaojie was more concerned about internal issues. As the saying goes, as long as [Xichuan Restaurant] does not have a large number of chefs leaving, there will be no big problem.
The level of Li Changsong and others is just like that. They have no talent reserves. It is difficult to find enough excellent chefs by poaching or open recruitment.
"This is the statistics of employee resignations in the company in recent period."
Luo Qin quickly brought the statistics. The statistics showed that the number of people who resigned from [Xichuan Restaurant] in the past two months was 27, of which 1 chef resigned.
This person resigned due to family reasons. Yu Jianxin and Meng Gang both signed, so there should be no problem.
"Well, it's normal."
Du Shaojie nodded and stopped paying attention to the movements of Li Changsong and others.
Over the years, he has become accustomed to various competitions. If he keeps staring at everything nervously, won't he be exhausted?
I believe Meng Gang and his team members can solve most of the problems.
After a few days.
Du Shaojie and Qi Yan took their children to Hong Kong. Qi Yan's vacation was about to end, and she needed to buy some things in Hong Kong to bring back.
Although he didn't quite understand why women had a special liking for shopping, it didn't stop him from accompanying Qi Yan shopping.
Every time Qi Yan bought something, she would buy a copy for Xiaomei and Xiaoya, and then give it to Du Shaojie to pass on. As for Wang Yuxiu, she didn't like the clothes and cosmetics here, so at most she bought her some nutritional supplements.
After a few days of rest, Qi Yan went to find Liang Meiqin and Winnie.
She was still seeking to go public, but she was not as anxious as before, but was moving forward steadily and orderly.
After Qi Yan left, Liang Meiqin introduced Du Shaojie to the listing of "Beichen Education Group".
"The biggest problem of Beichen Education now is that the scale of revenue is small, but fortunately the company's profitability is not bad, otherwise there would be no hope at all."
Although Qi Yan and her team members have been working hard, it is difficult to achieve scale overnight.
It is definitely not enough to just train chefs. Other projects such as vocational education and academic training must be developed, but this also takes time.
Liang Meiqin thinks that Qi Yan's listing plan may be delayed for a while.
"You guys do your best, I will talk to Yan Zi later."
Du Shaojie did not express his opinion. He would definitely not object to such things. He basically watched from the sidelines before, but he might help in the future.
"By the way, Shaojie, there is news about the storefront you asked us to pay attention to before. In the past two years, housing prices in Hong Kong have risen sharply, and house rents have risen simultaneously. Some restaurants cannot bear the cost pressure and choose to close down."
Liang Meiqin then remembered something and told Du Shaojie.
Du Shaojie asked her to pay attention to whether there are suitable storefronts for rent before, and he really found a few good places recently.
"Then go and have a look."
Du Shaojie doesn't like to procrastinate. Since this matter is mentioned, let's go and have a look.
Afterwards, he, Liang Meiqin, Wang Yongli, Luo Qin and others left the company and went to several places. Among them, there was a storefront with two floors that was very suitable. It used to be a restaurant here, and the location was good.
The landlord came over quickly, and Du Shaojie talked to him. The other conditions were okay, but the rent was a bit high.
He then asked Meng Gang to send someone to talk to the landlord, and Xiao Jianjun came in person. The two sides talked several times before the landlord made some concessions and finally finalized the lease contract.
The newly rented storefront will open a new store of [Seafood Square]. With the previous successful experience of [Xichuan Restaurant] Xiangjiang store, Xiao Jianjun was also full of confidence.
Afterwards, the storefront began to be renovated, and Du Shaojie returned to Guangzhou.
Now things like this don't need him to do it himself, and he is happy to be idle.
"You call all the stores of [Xichuan Restaurant] in Guangzhou, and I will go there to cook in person on the recent chef open day."
Recently, Du Shaojie felt very bored.
Compared with various social events, he prefers to cook. Therefore, he asked Luo Qin to inform all the stores that he planned to show up at the next chef open day.
He proposed the chef open day and has been insisting on it for so many years.
Since Liao Yongxin and Zhou Huai'en retired, the position of chef has been taken over by young and middle-aged chefs who have grown up. These people have good skills, but compared with Du Shaojie and Liao Yongxin, they are still a little lacking in skills.
Fortunately, consumers are still quite considerate, and the chef open day was still very lively.
"Okay, Mr. Du, I'll call right away."
[Xichuan Restaurant] has three stores in Guangzhou. He chose the "Railway Station Store" for the chef open day this week.
Now he has very few reservations. Because they can't get a place, most people get impatient and cancel their reservations. On the contrary, some other chefs have a lot of reservations.
Today, the plan was temporarily changed, and Du Shaojie showed up.
The store notified customers according to the order of reservations. Maybe everyone didn't have much hope, and the customers who received the call were ecstatic. Yes, they haven't canceled their reservations until now, and they are definitely Du Shaojie's "iron fans".
Du Shaojie personally cooked three tables of dishes to meet the needs of three customers who had been queuing for a long time.
He didn't feel unfamiliar with his hands at all. He seemed to be more at ease after not cooking for a while.
After cooking three tables of dishes, Du Shaojie let out a long sigh and felt very comfortable. Yes, it was a sense of satisfaction that made him happy. It was difficult for other things to give him this feeling.
He rested for a while and went to the private room to meet with the customers as usual.
The first two private rooms were normal. Everyone was very polite and spoke very reservedly.
But when he arrived at the third private room, he just walked in and bursts of screams came from the private room. This made Wang Yongli and others very nervous and rushed in to check the situation.
They were waiting at the door of the private room. It was not appropriate for a group of people to enter, so only Xu Youlian followed the boss.
In fact, Du Shaojie was also confused by the screams. There were four girls sitting in the private room, one of whom was very beautiful. However, it was this most beautiful girl who screamed regardless of her image.
"Wow, Chef Du is so handsome!"
"Annie, stop it now, don't embarrass yourself."
This screaming girl is the kind that you can notice at first sight in a crowd, and she is so beautiful that it's a bit against the rules.
Du Shaojie also saw her at first sight, and then he saw an acquaintance, Jiang Xiaoling.
Jiang Xiaoling covered her face with her hands at this time, a little embarrassed to face Du Shaojie.
This Annie is a good friend she made in Hong Kong, and Annie also booked this table today. I didn't expect that the other party would do such a thing. (End of this chapter)
