Pang Weidong and Xu Bo have one advantage, that is, they listen to advice.
The two of them whispered to each other, and finally decided to believe it. The next time they go to Bangkok, they will convert all the funds that can be mobilized into US dollars, and then transfer them to Hong Kong.
They still have a lot of Thai baht in their accounts in Bangkok. They originally planned to open another KTV, but now they have to change their minds.
In the evening.
The yacht docked at the Hong Kong Pier, and the group abandoned the ship and went ashore.
The girls took the tickets they got and left contentedly. After all, they had a lot of fun on the sea, and there was no point in sticking together. Next, the three of them took a car to have a meal of [Chaozhou cuisine].
The Chaozhou cuisine on the Hong Kong side has its own characteristics and is considered a major branch of Chaozhou cuisine. However, the taste of the dishes is very good. Du Shaojie praised the chef's good craftsmanship while eating.
There is a TV in the private room. The three people are not afraid of noise when drinking, and the program is still playing.
"We have suffered a disaster again this year. It doesn't rain for half a year. Who can bear it?"
Xu Bo heard a few interesting words and stared at the TV screen for a while.
The news was playing at this time, reporting on the drought relief in Shandong Province. Natural disasters often happen, and the mainland is still willing to pay for disaster relief, but the losses in the disaster area are difficult to avoid.
Du Shaojie heard what the other party said and also glanced at the news program.
"Brothers, donate some money later. Such good deeds should be done."
He saw the TV screen and the disaster was very serious. He couldn't help but feel compassion.
So he proposed to donate, and Pang Weidong and Xu Bo responded very actively. They are not short of money now, and they are too lazy to do charity at ordinary times, but they are willing to pay out of their own pockets when they encounter natural disasters.
Afterwards, several people called and made their own arrangements.
Pang Weidong and Xu Bo donated 10 million yuan to the disaster area in the name of [Yuedong Entertainment], and the money will fall on their heads personally.
Du Shaojie donated 10 million yuan to the disaster area in the name of [Shencheng Bailian Catering Management Company]. He is the absolute controlling shareholder of the company, so he has the final say on such matters.
Late at night.
Du Shaojie came to Liang Meiqin's residence.
"Shaojie, don't learn from President Pang and President Xu."
Liang Meiqin rarely cares about his affairs, but recently he has been playing crazy with Pang Weidong and Xu Bo, and she is really afraid that he will get some unclean disease. Women who are mixed up outside are not reassuring, and she is not just jealous.
"Don't talk nonsense, I know it in my heart."
Du Shaojie's restraint is still good, and he generally doesn't touch women outside.
Seeing him say this, Liang Meiqin couldn't help rolling her eyes, pecked the other person's face lightly, and went to make tea for him.
Du Shaojie didn't care. He naturally felt whether others were kind or malicious. The two of them were still in sync after being together for so many years.
"Shaojie, if you go to Bangkok, take me with you. I want to go there, too."
Liang Meiqin poured Du Shaojie a cup of tea, then sat down and leaned on his shoulder.
She knew that he would go to Bangkok in a while, and Fan Shilun had already gone there to scout ahead, so she also wanted to go there.
"I was originally planning to take you and Winnie with me. It would be good to go out together to broaden your horizons. Fan Shilun will be in charge of the company's affairs for the time being."
Du Shaojie had made plans in his mind when Fan Shilun went to Bangkok.
The company has not been very busy recently. When the time comes, I will go to Bangkok with Liang Meiqin and Winnie to see if I can lock in valuable targets.
"Great!"
Liang Meiqin was very happy and worked especially hard when exercising in the evening.
The next day.
Du Shaojie asked Luo Qin to book the tickets, and then took Wang Yongli, Luo Qin, Zou Xiaohe and Xu Youlian to Shandong Province. During this period, Peng Yongjun was on vacation, and he could take care of the Repulse Bay Villa by the way.
The villa has special security personnel, but someone also needs to check their work situation from time to time.
When they arrived in Shandong Province, Meng Gang also rushed to join them. There was a brief donation ceremony, which was also reported in the news, but it was mainly to promote the company rather than the individual.
Du Shaojie attended the donation ceremony, but he did not participate in the subsequent interviews, and Meng Gang came out for all of them.
He himself visited several top Shandong cuisine restaurants as the president of the Yangcheng Catering Association. Perhaps because the news effect has not yet passed, he was very well received this time, which is completely different from the last time.
"Mr. Du, this is Wang Hongbo, the master of Shandong cuisine. Mr. Wang has devoted his life to promoting [Lu cuisine] and is currently the honorary chef of our restaurant."
The Shandong Provincial Catering Association sent a standing director to accompany him throughout the whole process, otherwise it would be questionable whether the restaurant would receive him.
The restaurant brought out Mr. Wang Hongbo, who is already 80 years old. The so-called honorary chef is probably the same as a consultant.
However, Mr. Wang is in good health and can even cook two dishes himself.
Du Shaojie respected Wang Hongbo very much, and the old man was also very talkative. The two chatted about a lot of professional things, and they both felt that they had met too late.
In the evening.
Du Shaojie had a meal in a restaurant. The Provincial Association hosted the meal. The restaurant brought out their highest level. The dishes on the table can indeed be called the essence of [Lu cuisine].
Wang Hongbo was also present. Du Shaojie and the other party had a very speculative chat and exchanged contact information.
"Mr. Du, it seems that you are very interested in [Lu cuisine]. If you have time, come to my house and we can communicate with each other."
Wang Hongbo felt that Du Shaojie had a deep understanding of many cuisines, and that the other party had solid basic skills. On the premise of fully mastering traditional techniques, he still had many ideas of his own.
He was very interested in [Cantonese cuisine] before, but it was a pity that he had not met a high-level [Cantonese] chef and had never been able to do it.
This time, although they only had a simple chat, some problems that had troubled him for many years were solved.
Wang Hongbo also saw that the other party wanted to systematically learn the knowledge of [Lu cuisine], and he was also very interested in [Cantonese cuisine], and the other party happened to have a superb level of [Cantonese cuisine] production.
Therefore, the old man's words "mutual communication" were not just a polite remark.
"Master Wang, I will definitely pay you a visit."
Du Shaojie did not say much, but he was already very happy in his heart.
The last time he came, he had no idea where to go. He could not eat the dishes made by the master himself when he ate in the restaurant. This time, because of the donation, everyone was very considerate, otherwise he would not be able to see Wang Hongbo.
The next day.
Du Shaojie went to buy some tonics and some fruits, and visited Wang Hongbo directly.
The old man lives in the suburbs of the city. He has a large yard and a professional kitchen at home. He is now considered to have "students all over the world", but only three of his disciples have truly inherited his mantle.
But he looks at Du Shaojie differently. Basically, he will answer any questions the other party has in detail, and he is more patient than his own disciples.
"Master Wang, I can stay here for about two weeks. If you are not busy, I hope I can come every day. What do you think?"
"Okay, I just have this idea. How about this, every morning you tell me the secrets of [Cantonese cuisine], and every afternoon, I can pass on my years of experience in [Shandong cuisine] to you."
The two had this idea before, so they reached a consensus as soon as they met today.
To put it bluntly, it is to exchange the unique skills that you have mastered with each other. No one should hide anything, and everyone must be honest.
In fact, at the level of Du Shaojie and Wang Hongbo, it is easy to tell whether the other party has hidden anything. However, Wang Hongbo has a small condition, which is to let his little apprentice stay by his side these days.
Du Shaojie agreed very readily. Wang Hongbo's little apprentice is only 35 years old this year and is highly regarded by the old man.
Half a month passed quickly.
Du Shaojie left with satisfaction, and Wang Hongbo also felt that he had gained a lot.
He asked the young apprentice: "You have been in front of us these days. Tell me, how much have you learned?"
"Master, I have indeed learned something, but sometimes you and Mr. Du say some things that are too profound for me to understand."
The young apprentice sighed, feeling that he could not keep up with the pace of the master and Du Shaojie.
"It's good that you know! Mr. Du's cooking skills have reached a very high level, not inferior to my master at all. So, I only need to point out some tricks, and he will understand immediately, and even be able to draw inferences from one example."
Wang Hongbo smiled and pointed at the young apprentice.
The communication between him and Du Shaojie was like two "peerless masters" discussing the Tao. People with insufficient realms could not understand at all, let alone gain anything.
"Ah? So Mr. Du has learned the real skills of the master, then aren't we at a disadvantage?"
"Fool! Are you too old to be a master? Mr. Du got what he wanted, and I got what we wanted. I'll think about it and teach you some tricks of making [Cantonese cuisine] later."
Wang Hongbo glared at his little apprentice, then turned and went back to the house.
He actually knew very well that Du Shaojie was much younger than him, and his comprehension was better than his. If his learning effect these days was 70%, then Mr. Du's learning effect was 90%.
There was no comparison!
However, Du Shaojie promised to visit Wang Hongbo again after a while, and the two could continue to communicate at that time.
"Mr. Du, are we going to the disaster area to have a look?"
Du Shaojie and others stayed in the provincial capital after arriving in Shandong Province. Some companies and individuals who donated money went to the disaster area to express their condolences, but he was indifferent.
Seeing that he was busy with the communication, Luo Qin reminded him specially.
"We can't help at all if we go to the disaster area. We'll just cause trouble for others. We won't go! Just book a return ticket."
Du Shaojie was too lazy to put on a show. He felt that if we were not from the relevant department or professionals, going to the disaster area would not be of any use.
Moreover, his donation this time was purely to support the disaster area and he did not need to expand his influence, so he rejected the other party's proposal.
It happened that Fan Shilun had also completed his inspection in Bangkok, so Du Shaojie took a few people directly to Hong Kong. (End of this chapter)
