Time flies.
[Yuedong Entertainment] As Du Shaojie expected, although there were constant small troubles, there were no big troubles.
The company's operation was basically stable, and Yin Qiang also temporarily settled down.
It's not that no one had coveted the KTV business before, but with Pang Weidong's strength and Du Shaojie and Xu Bo's connections, no one really took action.
But Yin Qiang is different. This guy used to like to make money without doing anything. He could make a lot of money just by talking or approving a few notes. How could he have the mood to do those laborious things?
However, the situation in recent years has been different, and his elders have taken a step further and repeatedly warned him that he must cut off the past.
Therefore, Yin Qiang, under the advice of someone with a heart, set his sights on [Yuedong Entertainment].
After getting three KTVs and three buffet restaurants, he temporarily stopped because Pang Weidong's strength should not be underestimated. If he really pushed people into a corner, he would not have a good harvest.
Du Shaojie calmed down. Pang Weidong and Xu Bo began to frequently contact the elites of the Internet and became the "God of Wealth" in the minds of these people.
However, these two guys are also old-timers in society, otherwise they would not be able to play in the entertainment industry.
Pang Weidong and Xu Bo seem approachable on the surface, but they are both the kind of people who don't see the rabbit and don't release the eagle. It's really not that easy to take money out of their pockets.
Du Shaojie laughed at such things. Anyone who treats Pang Weidong and Xu Bo as a sucker is blind.
After taking a break for a while, he continued to tour around the country and provided some guiding suggestions for the expansion of [Sichuan Flavor Xiang Lao Hot Pot].
The formula of hot pot base and dipping sauce does not need to be updated for the time being. The potential of this generation of formulas has not been exhausted and is currently very popular among consumers.
He asked Yu Jianxin to focus more on management and service. At present, the company has no shortage of chefs, and the training center is also conducting rotation training step by step. The strength in this area is very strong.
But a major sequelae of rapid expansion is that management is difficult to keep up, and this shortcoming must be made up.
After his field investigation, Du Shaojie believes that the new round of expansion of the hot pot restaurant is successful. Last month alone, the revenue of [Shuweixiang Old Hot Pot] increased by 120% over the same period last year, and the profit increased by 109%.
The hot pot restaurant still takes the people-friendly route. The price is slightly higher than that of ordinary hot pot restaurants, but the quality of ingredients and dishes is guaranteed, and the service is far ahead of ordinary hot pot restaurants.
In general, the price-performance ratio is good and the dining experience is also very good.
"No more transfers, let's go back."
Du Shaojie stayed outside for a long time and then returned to Guangzhou.
A few days after returning, Shen Rui called and said that the hypermarket was about to open and asked if he had time to attend the opening ceremony.
"Forget it, I won't go. I just came back from outside and I'm very tired. If I have time in a while, I will go to Shanghai to have a look."
Du Shaojie did not attend the opening of the hypermarket, and he didn't even care whether the business of the hypermarket was good or not.
On the one hand, he believed in Shen Rui's ability, and on the other hand, as long as the property was there, he could make money even if he did nothing but collected rent. When the property appreciates in value in the future, it will be a lot of money if it is sold.
"Okay, big brother."
Shen Rui was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it.
He knew his brother-in-law's character very well, and it would be bad if he said too much.
This morning.
Du Shaojie took time to go to the provincial association. President Li had called him several times before, asking him to go there when he was free.
"Mr. Du, it's actually nothing big. I'm worried because you don't show up all the time. By the way, you should be able to be promoted to [Senior Technician], right? Or should we take this level certificate?"
Li Chunlai smiled and drank tea with Du Shaojie, and inadvertently talked about the promotion.
In fact, Du Shaojie could have applied for the [Senior Technician] a long time ago, and he was very confident that he would pass the exam. His current cooking skills have fully reached this standard, he just didn't bother to take the exam.
His cooking skills have always been stuck at the ceiling, and now the dishes he cooks can almost get the comprehensive evaluation of "Phoenix Marrow Dragon Liver", but he can't break through.
He had a good idea before, waiting for his cooking skills to break through and then take the "senior technician" exam, but he ended up waiting for several years. If Li Chunlai hadn't mentioned it today, he would have almost forgotten it.
"I'm a lazy person, and I could have applied for the exam a long time ago. President Li, your reminder is very timely, I'll apply next month."
Du Shaojie thought, it's okay to get the level certificate first, after all, he only lacks this certificate, if he gets it, it means he has reached the end of the professional level.
It seems to be quite fulfilling.
"That's right, why don't you be more active if you have this ability? President Du, you are a signboard of our association, leave the registration to me, I will help you with it."
Li Chunlai laughed and took the initiative to take over the matter.
Du Shaojie nodded, thanked him, and chatted with the other party.
Until now, he didn't know what the other party called him over for. But he was not in a hurry, waiting for Li Chunlai to speak first.
"It's the end of the year, and I want to give some money to the staff of the association. President Du, do you think it's appropriate?"
The association currently has sufficient funds, and there are fewer messy things.
It's normal for Li Chunlai to want to further win people's hearts and minds and give bonuses to the full-time staff of the association. However, he must get the support of Du Shaojie for things like this, otherwise he dare not touch a penny.
He knows very well that even though he is the president, he still has to have a good relationship with Du Shaojie if he wants to live comfortably.
"I don't have any objection. As long as the specific amount is not outrageous, I agree."
Du Shaojie smiled slightly, and was very satisfied with Li Chunlai's attitude.
He had no intention of turning the association into his own one-man show, but there were some things he had to keep an eye on, lest some people take advantage of loopholes.
"Okay, don't worry, I know what's going on. By the way, Mr. Du, a TV station contacted us and wanted to make a food program. I agreed in principle. You see, let's talk to them about the details when we have time?"
Li Chunlai changed the subject and talked about another matter.
A TV station wanted to make a food program, focusing on [Cantonese cuisine], which he thought was quite good.
"Okay, you arrange it later, and we'll meet with them."
Du Shaojie thought this was a good thing, which could not only promote classic [Cantonese cuisine], but also increase some income for the association.
Li Chunlai was very happy and immediately contacted the program team.
In the evening.
Du Shaojie, Li Chunlai and the important members of the program met, and everyone had a meal together.
The two sides reached an agreement at the wine table that the association would provide necessary assistance, and the program team would try to select the dishes and restaurants recommended by the association, and there would be a share of the subsequent income.
Du Shaojie only has the [Seafood Restaurant] that meets the conditions for promotion, and the private restaurant is not suitable for exposure.
"Mr. Du, you are an expert, which dishes do you think are more suitable for us to explore?"
The program team has an expert who wants to hire Du Shaojie as a consultant.
However, Du Shaojie did not agree, and the other party changed his angle for consultation.
"I think [Chaozhou cuisine] and [Hakka cuisine] are worth exploring. After all, most people only have an impression of [Guangfu cuisine], and have no idea about these two dishes."
Du Shaojie answered the other party's question very seriously.
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much, and the remaining specific matters will be discussed later.
However, Du Shaojie will definitely not show up again. Li Chunlai will check this matter, and he is happy to be free.
A week later.
Du Shaojie received a call from the person in charge of the program team again, saying that he wanted to talk to him about sponsorship.
He was a little puzzled. He would definitely not provide funds to the program team, otherwise it would be difficult to explain some things in the future.
But he still met with the other party.
"Mr. Du, excuse me. I know your position in the industry. The current situation of the program group attracting sponsors is not very good. Can you introduce us to some sponsors?"
Things are different from what Du Shaojie imagined. The person in charge of the program group is not thinking about the money in his pocket, but wants to ask him to help attract some sponsors.
Du Shaojie was a little amused. Not to mention, this person in charge is quite flexible.
"Okay, then I'll give it a try."
Du Shaojie left a living word and did not refuse the other party.
"Thank you very much!"
The person in charge of the program group was overjoyed and immediately said goodbye.
Du Shaojie then contacted some raw material suppliers. The best dishes require the best ingredients. Letting these raw material suppliers show up can also improve the awareness of ordinary consumers about top-quality ingredients.
These suppliers are indeed very interested. Du Shaojie asked them to contact the program group directly, and he would not get involved.
"Mr. Du, this is the operating analysis of [Northwest Noodle House]. Do you want to take a look?"
After finishing this small matter, Du Shaojie was free again.
That day, Luo Qin handed him a stack of information, saying that it was the operating analysis report of [Northwest Noodle House].
Du Shaojie took it and took a look. Meng Gang had indeed adjusted his business strategy and began to penetrate into places with huge traffic. [Northwest Noodle House] has set its sights on places such as train stations and airports, and is trying hard to improve the performance of listed companies.
"Okay, put it here. I'll take a closer look when I have time."
Du Shaojie flipped through the information and put it aside.
He has a deep understanding of Meng Gang and is familiar with his style of doing things. In the past, he acted more conservatively because he was suppressed by him.
Now that he has understood what his boss is thinking, he has let go of his hands and feet.
Du Shaojie doesn't mind the other party taking some radical measures. He only looks at the results. Good results are good, and if the results are not good, someone will be held responsible.
He thinks that Meng Gang will most likely succeed.
Facts have proved that after going public, [Northwest Noodle House] has a lot of funds in hand, and everything it does is like a duck in water.
Places like airports and train stations are very suitable for snacks. Meng Gang has a good vision. (End of this chapter)
