Du Shaojie took the information away, went back to study it for three days, and then signed the document, formally approving the investment of 500 million Hong Kong dollars.
Qi Yan was not idle either. He had also communicated effectively with the company these days, and finally decided to invest 100 million Hong Kong dollars in the commercial complex project.
The remaining 100 million Hong Kong dollars were made up by Pang Weidong and Xu Bo. The two of them had a lot of wealth in their hands, but they didn't have a good investment project.
So, when Du Shaojie called them and said something, the two of them came one after another.
The preliminary work went smoothly. On this day, all the shareholders of the commercial complex project gathered in Shenzhen to attend the groundbreaking ceremony.
After a busy day, Du Shaojie had time to chat with Pang Weidong and Xu Bo in the evening.
"Ajie, the company's operations are very stable now, and dividends can be distributed again after a while."
Pang Weidong and Xu Bo are living a very comfortable life now. The two take turns to sit in the company, and it's no problem for them to leave occasionally. They also learned to inspect with Du Shaojie and traveled all over the country.
However, there is always a time when one gets bored with the life of feasting and drinking, and even the dividends are not interesting.
Pang Weidong said lazily, and then stopped talking.
"Ajie, Dong Ge is almost useless now, and he starts to think about philosophical problems all day long. Do you have any big projects here? Give him some stimulation, so that he doesn't always look like he's dying."
Xu Bo seemed to be joking, but he was actually worried about Pang Weidong's condition.
The other party couldn't get excited about anything he did recently, and it was this investment that made his eyes shine.
Du Shaojie nodded in understanding. Although Pang Weidong had some second-generation problems, he was generally more motivated.
This guy needs a sense of achievement and stimulation, and [Yuedong Entertainment] obviously can no longer meet his needs.
"Dongzi, do you know the Internet?"
Du Shaojie asked this because the Internet is still a new thing in China, and several major portals have only been established not long ago.
Not many people have the conditions to go online these days. The current network is not only slow but also expensive. It is normal not to know the Internet.
Pang Weidong shook his head. He was not familiar with this area.
Du Shaojie patiently gave him and Xu Bo a brief introduction, and then drew a huge blueprint for them. Of course, if you want to cultivate this industry deeply, it will be difficult to make a profit without ten or eight years.
For example, if you invest a sum of money in Manager Ma before, it will probably be "burned" in a short time, and it is impossible to bring any benefits.
"Ajie, what you said is very interesting."
Pang Weidong immediately became interested. It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand it now, he can take time to learn. Besides, he has never thought about starting a business again. He wants to get involved in the Internet industry. If he encounters a suitable opportunity, he will invest directly.
He doesn't say anything else now, he still has money.
Pang Weidong returned to Beijing and bought a computer at home. It's embarrassing to say that he can't even use a personal computer now, and he has to learn it again.
Xu Bo is the same. Fortunately, these two people are still willing to accept new things, and just learning to use a computer is actually not difficult at all.
Du Shaojie, Qi Yan and his daughter returned to Yangcheng. He didn't have so many ideas, and he also needed to realize his own value through the so-called sense of achievement.
He has been very satisfied with his career from an ordinary chef to where he is now.
In the following period of time, he went to the northwest with Su Dapeng.
Su Dapeng was a little confused about the variety changes of [Northwest Noodle House]. Du Shaojie happened to be free, so the two of them traveled around the northwest for a month.
Du Shaojie likes this way of traveling very much. A group of people, several cars, going and stopping, and even staying in some remote small counties for several days.
There are too many delicacies in the world to count. Tasting them along the way can really increase your knowledge.
Su Dapeng and Du Shaojie both gained a lot from this trip. Especially Du Shaojie, he learned a lot of snacks. After some polishing, he can indeed make the variety of [Northwest Noodle House] richer.
But there is no rush for this matter. After all, each brand has just carried out a round of variety adjustments, so there is no need to rush to make changes.
"Okay, Dapeng, go back. I have to go to Hunan Province to see the company's raw material base."
The catering company has established raw material supply bases in Hunan Province, Sichuan Province and Guangdong Province. For example, various cured meats including cured meat, cured sausage, cured fish, etc. are all supplied by the Hunan base.
In addition, spicy sausage, Hanyuan pepper, green pepper, dried chili, etc. are all supplied by the Sichuan base.
Du Shaojie plans to visit the Hunan base on the way back. The raw material supply base adopts the "company + farmer" model, which has a significant driving effect on the local economy.
Therefore, when they arrived in the county, the county leaders personally led the team to greet them.
"Mr. Du, welcome to the county to inspect the work."
"Leader, you are too polite!"
Afterwards, Du Shaojie and his party had a meal at the county guesthouse.
Today's meal is very rich. Although it is not of any grade, each dish is basically a local specialty and tastes very delicious.
This is a poor county with beautiful mountains and clear waters, but due to its geographical location, there is basically not much industry.
Du Shaojie also valued this point, so he established a raw material supply base here. With this base, the local breeding industry, planting industry, and agricultural and sideline product processing industry have been driven.
Otherwise, why would the county host them with such a big fanfare?
After eating and drinking, Du Shaojie did not rest, and went directly to the supply base accompanied by the county leaders.
He not only looked around the base, but also went down to the fields and the farmers' farms to carefully check every link.
"Very good!"
Du Shaojie was very satisfied with the work of the base. Everything was strictly in accordance with the rules and regulations, and the quality of the raw materials was guaranteed.
The county was also very satisfied with the catering company. The cooperation between the two sides brought a win-win situation.
"Mr. Du, is it possible to expand the scale of the raw material supply base?"
The county leader asked sincerely with a glimmer of hope.
Du Shaojie shook his head, indicating that it was impossible to expand the scale for the time being.
After all, the catering company has stopped expanding, and basically the amount of raw materials used each month is limited, and it is unlikely to have explosive growth.
Although the county leaders were a little disappointed, they could understand that they would not be unhappy about this.
"Leaders, you can find ways to open up other sales channels, such as major supermarkets, and even directly supply to Xiangjiang. I am not very familiar with this aspect, but I can help ask."
Du Shaojie thought about it and made a suggestion.
Several people in the county exchanged glances with each other, and they were overjoyed. In the evening, they took Du Shaojie and others to have a drink.
He stayed in the county for three days and then returned to Yangcheng.
The next day after returning home, he received a call from Ye Weiming, so they made an appointment to meet at the fish restaurant
in the afternoon. In the afternoon,
Du Shaojie met with Ye Weiming, Jiang Dongyuan and others at the fish restaurant. During the meal, he talked about some of his experiences during this trip, and also mentioned the raw material supply base.
"Supply the Xiangjiang market? That's a good idea. Mr. Du, please introduce me to the county leaders later. I am very interested in this business."
Ye Weiming smelled the business opportunity and expressed his willingness to investigate on the spot.
Du Shaojie immediately gave the phone numbers of the leaders in the other county and promised to tell the county in advance. Two
days later,
Ye Weiming went to Hunan Province and signed a supply contract with the local government.
He has a way, and the procedures that are very cumbersome for others are easy for him. The profit of this business is not small. Ye Weiming used his connections to get the channels in Hong Kong, and started to supply vegetables and pork a month later.
"Mr. Du, I have to treat you to a drink. You have introduced me to a good way to make money."
Ye Weiming has rich experience in foreign trade, and it is not difficult to do this business.
He found a time to treat Du Shaojie to a meal and gave him a painting and two jade pendants. The calligraphy and paintings of the Qing Dynasty are not very valuable, but they are also his thoughts.
Du Shaojie was very emotional. What he did was very important to the poor county and Ye Weiming.
The next day.
He called Su Dapeng, and the two discussed the feasibility of establishing a raw material supply base in Xijiang on the phone.
"It's okay, but the transportation line is too long and the cost is high."
Su Dapeng had thought about this problem a long time ago. The [Northwest Noodle House] he was in charge of needed to purchase raw materials in the northwest, which naturally included Xijiang.
However, many raw materials have been replaced so far, and the reason is just as he said, the transportation cost is too high.
"You guys study it carefully. If you can purchase raw materials from Xijiang, try to purchase them from there. If the cost pressure is really too great, forget it. I'll try it in Yangcheng first, and you can ask the stores to cooperate."
Du Shaojie could understand, so he didn't say it for sure.
He planned to pilot it in a small area first, first look at the cost and then the effect. He would have to listen to the opinions of the management for the final decision.
"Okay, Mr. Du."
It was just a pilot, so Su Dapeng naturally had nothing to say.
Then the pilot began, and even the roasted whole lamb in the fish restaurant used the lamb sent from Xijiang. The cost has indeed risen a lot, and the price of the dishes has naturally risen, otherwise it will definitely lose money.
However, these are all clearly marked, and the origin of the ingredients is also indicated on the menu.
After the pilot, the effect went to two extremes. For example, like [Roasted Whole Lamb], many customers come for the ingredients of the origin. It doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive, as they can eat the original flavor.
But it's not so good in the snack area. Everyone's focus is still on cost-effectiveness, and not many people pay attention to the origin of the ingredients.
This attempt was not very successful, and the only winner was [Yu Zhuang].
[Yu Zhuang] was originally a restaurant that served [whole fish banquets], but now it is famous for its self-service barbecue and [roasted whole lamb]. (End of this chapter)
