Chapter 424 Collapse
"Thank you, President Du, thank you, the company!"
Wang Zimo shed tears. God knows how heavy his heart was when he made the choice.
Now, he has obtained a large bonus legally and reasonably, and the company has agreed to lend him money. He is extremely glad that he made the right choice.
"This is what you deserve! Wang Zimo, don't go back to the Magic City, just stay in Yangcheng, and President Yu will talk to you later."
Du Shaojie sent Wang Zimo away. If it weren't for the other party's special situation, he wouldn't even meet with the other party.
Next, he won't be so polite.
Li Changsong and others stole the core secrets of the company through unfair competition. [Bailian Catering] filed a lawsuit against the other company.
At the same time, the specific participants should also be held accountable.
Zhang Li can't come out for a while, and Li Changsong is also under investigation.
Taking this opportunity, the other party's [Sichuan Restaurant] Yangcheng Store and Shenzhen Store and other stores were severely inspected from all aspects. There are many problems found. Although the store will not be closed immediately, it is inevitable to suspend business for rectification for a period of time.
Su Dapeng also took the opportunity to attack. Li Changsong and others' copycat stores have violated the interests of [Northwest Noodle House] for the past two years. Although he did not take any action before, he had been asking relevant personnel and lawyers to collect evidence.
As the saying goes, "When the wall falls, everyone pushes it." At this time, Li Changsong and others were in a state of panic. Su Dapeng immediately asked [Northwest Noodle House] to sue the court.
It doesn't matter whether the lawsuit against the other party for violating the interests of the enterprise and unfair competition is effective. Anyway, it is to make trouble for the other party.
Du Shaojie knew that Li Changsong and others would not be able to jump for a few days. If a catering company does not think about improving its core competitiveness and thinks about some crooked things all day long, it will be finished sooner or later.
He personally took Wang Yongli, Luo Qin and others to the Magic City.
This time, Jiang Cheng's friends in the Magic City helped a lot. It is reasonable for him to thank them in person.
Du Shaojie stayed in the Magic City for a week, and then went to Beijing for more than half a month before returning to Guangzhou.
The case and the lawsuit have not yet reached a final result, but Li Changsong and others obviously couldn't hold on and closed many copycat stores one after another. Su Dapeng even came to Yangcheng to tell Du Shaojie the good news that his opponent was going to collapse.
Du Shaojie smiled and nodded.
It was expected that Li Changsong and others would be defeated. The other party did not play by the rules at all. It was not their way to do catering. In fact, Li Changsong was also an expert. I don't know why the other party would take such a sudden and clumsy approach. It was really hard to understand.
But since Ye Weiming said that the other party was a poisonous snake, it was better to kill him as soon as possible to avoid trouble.
Du Shaojie and Su Dapeng opened champagne in advance. They didn't think that Li Changsong and others had a chance to turn the tables, at least not this time.
"Let's go, have a meal and celebrate."
Du Shaojie then took Su Dapeng to [Xichuan Restaurant]. The two ordered a few dishes and a bottle of white wine. They were in high spirits.
Li Changsong and others were just so-so, but they were really disgusting. All kinds of unpresentable means emerged one after another, making it hard to defend against.
Now that the overall situation has been determined, the field can be cleared up. This cancer is finally going to be removed.
"Shaojie, we are still too rule-abiding. Next time we encounter such a situation, we should kill the other party as soon as they show up, so as to avoid so much trouble."
"Dapeng, there are advantages to following the rules. If you take too big a step, be careful not to make a fuss."
Su Dapeng was drinking and reflecting. He felt that he should have used unconventional means to solve the newly emerged copycat store.
Du Shaojie disagreed with his point of view. It was very satisfying to deal with the problem simply and roughly, but if you get used to this method, it is actually equivalent to going to the other extreme and will be backfired.
Most of the time, things in the business world still rely on strength to compete. Other means are only auxiliary, not fundamental.
Su Dapeng stopped talking, and it was unknown whether he was convinced or not.
The two continued to drink, and drank more than half of the bottle of white wine. At this time, Du Shaojie's mobile phone suddenly rang.
"Mr. Du, something happened."
The call was from Meng Gang. Just a few hours ago, something big happened.
The head office registered by Li Changsong and others is located in Shenzhen, and the office location is a whole floor of a high-end office building rented. Just a few hours ago, their company was surrounded by hundreds of people asking for an explanation, and the incident was a big deal.
"It is said that they had borrowed a lot of money from various banks before, estimated to be over 100 million yuan. In addition, they also borrowed a lot of money from the public at high interest rates. The troublemakers were all creditors."
Meng Gang said that Li Changsong and others had kept the lid on their debts, and not many people outside knew about their debts.
The previous copycat store and [Sichuan Restaurant] had decent business, with a lot of cash flow every day. But this time, Bailian Catering suddenly attacked, and the evidence was conclusive, and the other party showed signs of collapse.
The creditors realized that something was wrong and began to clamor for the principal to be returned. Li Changsong and others could not suppress the matter, and finally broke the news.
"Damn it! I said that Li Changsong and his approach was unreasonable. It turns out that they don't make money from stores at all."
Du Shaojie finally understood that these guys were not playing with catering but finance.
At the beginning, the other party's copycat store developed very rapidly, and it was likely to replace [Northwest Noodle House]. Li Changsong and others borrowed a lot of money from banks while expanding. Later, when banks began to tighten credit, they used high interest rates as bait and once again got large sums of money from the private sector.
If they hadn't been caught stealing the core technology of Xichuan Restaurant, they would probably have continued playing.
"Boss Meng, send someone to keep an eye on them. I want to see what the end of Li Changsong and others will be."
Du Shaojie was so angry that his teeth itched. He was just passively cooperating with the other party in a play. Fortunately, he
got rid of his anger in the last stage, otherwise he would have felt very depressed.
"Boss Du, there are only a few small fish and shrimps left in their company headquarters. It is said that Li Changsong and others are missing, and the boss behind the scenes seems to have gone abroad."
Meng Gang felt it was a pity. It was a pity that these bastards ran fast, otherwise they would definitely be caught.
Du Shaojie shook his head and hung up.
In fact, whether Li Changsong and others can escape or not, their lives are over. If they go abroad with a large amount of money, they will eventually be eaten up by the "pig-killing plate" and will not have a good end.
If they don't escape, then these people will probably spend the rest of their lives in prison.
"Dapeng, what do you think? Am I right? People who don't follow the rules will eventually be retaliated. We have not taken any extreme measures in this matter from beginning to end, otherwise the other party's thunder will implicate us."
Du Shaojie put down his mobile phone, and then said to Su Dapeng meaningfully.
Su Dapeng was completely convinced this time. It seems that his vision is still a bit short-sighted.
"I have to go. The copycat store collapsed overnight, but their store locations are good. I can take the opportunity to expand."
Su Dapeng drank the wine in his glass and stood up to say goodbye.
Now is a good time. He can get the storefront he likes without spending a lot of money. Of course, this time it will not be a full expansion, but just picking up leaks.
Du Shaojie didn't care about him. Su Dapeng and Meng Gang could discuss this matter, and he only needed to sign in the end.
He sat for a while and left the private room and returned home.
A few days later, news came that most of the backbones of Li Changsong's gang were arrested, but Li Changsong and his boss behind the scenes and some senior executives were missing.
Du Shaojie called Huang Yong to ask about it. Huang Yong helped to inquire about it, and then said that Li Changsong and others had already left the country.
In addition, most of the funds they raised through various means also went to Hong Kong.
"A bunch of pests!"
Du Shaojie was very disappointed, mainly because Li Changsong ran away and made him very unhappy.
However, he could not do anything about this matter, and he just cursed quietly. People and funds have gone out, and it will be very difficult to catch them back. He no longer has any hope.
A few days passed quickly.
Su Dapeng completed a small-scale expansion, and [Xiangweiju] and [Seafood Square] also took over the storefronts left by Li Changsong and others afterwards. The property belongs to the landlord, not Li Changsong and his friends, and there will be no future troubles.
Du Shaojie slowly forgot about this matter. Although he wanted to see Li Changsong in trouble, he could not have any obsession.
He has recently started to be busy with the training center. Meng Gang has deepened the "tiered management" system in each store. Except for the chefs of each store, other chefs only master the production of some dishes.
Although this has brought some troubles to the training work, it has improved the security of the core technology.
The previous period was very busy, but now everything has settled down, and the restaurants under the company are back on track.
This year was not peaceful, but the company's overall revenue and profits have increased a lot.
According to statistics, this year's full-year revenue is expected to increase by 23%, and profits are expected to increase by 17%. Therefore, Du Shaojie believes that a certain amount of external pressure is a good thing, at least it can keep everyone vigilant and not lose their enterprising spirit.
While he was quiet, Qi Yan and his opponent started a war for talent.
Qi Yan returned to Guangzhou to remotely command, and at the same time, he also pulled in several rounds of financing from Hong Kong, spending a lot of money, and gathering more and more talents under his company.
"Yanzi, the war for talent is almost over, and we should actively expand new business next."
Du Shaojie did not interfere with Qi Yan's actions, but found an opportunity to remind her.
Grabbing people is not the goal, but how to make these talents play a role and bring rich benefits to the company is the goal.
Qi Yan was able to listen to advice and immediately shifted the focus of her work, stopped the war for talent, and began to build businesses such as chef training, other vocational training, English and various subject tutoring training.
She also caught up with the good time. After so many years of reform and opening up, everyone's income level has improved, and spending on education has increased year by year.
Beichen Education Group has become the leader in the industry and officially started the process of listing in Hong Kong.
