"Brother, the business of the hypermarket is very good now, and the profit exceeds my expectation. When you go to the company tomorrow and look at the financial statements, you will understand that I am not exaggerating at all."
While drinking, Shen Rui briefly introduced the operation of the hypermarket.
Du Shaojie nodded. Shen Rui would report the financial express report every month, and he was familiar with the basic situation of the hypermarket.
Then, he led the topic to Xiaoya.
"Xiaoya, how are you doing in the unit now?"
"Very good, I am now a section-level cadre, not busy at ordinary times, and my life is so comfortable."
Xiaoya couldn't help laughing when she heard her brother's question.
She knew very well that these changes were all because of her brother, but brothers and sisters should not say thank you, she will remember it in her heart.
Du Shaojie nodded and said no more.
After dinner, Xiaoya took the children back first, and Shen Rui took Du Shaojie to find a place to drink tea.
"Brother, it's getting harder and harder to do unit procurement now. I encountered some minor troubles before, but I finally solved it. I plan to gradually give up this business."
Shen Rui usually doesn't talk about business with Xiaoya at home. Some time ago, there was a problem with a unit procurement, which almost dragged him down.
And now more and more people are eyeing this business, and the profit is declining rapidly, so he wants to give up.
Du Shaojie nodded. He knew that although unit procurement is a hot business, it is also easy to cause trouble. It's better not to do it, anyway, the future will move towards a centralized procurement model.
"Computers are rapidly entering households, and being an agent for one or several brands is a way out. In addition, the consumables business can continue, after all, some relationships with units still need to be maintained."
"Yeah, I was not sure at first, but I feel relieved when I heard you say that."
Shen Rui has now crossed the stage of primitive accumulation, and the focus of his business has shifted to the hypermarket.
However, the office equipment and office supplies he used to do are still being maintained.
After chatting with Du Shaojie today, he has some new ideas. In the future, he can be the agent of a foreign computer brand and sell office equipment and consumables, but only on the scale of one store.
Recently, he and several people are discussing the project of co-investing in the construction of a [computer mall]. The investment in this project is not small, which is very stressful for him, so he wondered whether he should talk to his brother-in-law.
"Why? Is there anything else? Let's talk about it."
Seeing that the other party was hesitant to talk, Du Shaojie took the initiative to bring up the topic.
Shen Rui then talked about the computer mall. Several of them had their eyes on an unfinished building and planned to transform it into a computer mall.
"The situation of unfinished buildings is generally more complicated, so it is best not to make a decision blindly. In my opinion, it is better to find a way to get a piece of land and build a building yourself, or directly purchase a ready-made house like a hypermarket."
Du Shaojie is not interested in unfinished buildings. It is also okay to directly purchase ready-made properties like a hypermarket model. Of course, it is best to invest and build it yourself.
He will not agree to investment matters. There is nothing else. He is not used to cooperating with strangers.
Shen Rui understood what Du Shaojie meant and did not continue the topic. He had an idea in his mind. If he could get the land, there would be no need to cooperate with those people. Isn't this a ready-made God of Wealth?
Later.
Du Shaojie and Shen Rui left the teahouse and went home.
His residence in Magic City is still the old villa in the past, and the living environment is not very good. He now has a lot of idle funds in his hands, so he plans to learn from Qi Yan and buy a villa in Magic City.
The next day.
Du Shaojie went to see the house. He turned around and found that there are still many more choices now than in previous years. With his wealth, it is normal to buy more houses.
After working hard for a few days, he chose a villa and bought it in full.
Then he toured the stores and met with Jiang Cheng before leaving Magic City.
To be honest, he was not optimistic about Jiang Cheng and Lu Yimin at the beginning, but the two of them had great potential and developed better than each other. On the contrary, Liu Ying, who started from a high point, did not develop much.
"Boss Du, you're not nice. You've been in Shanghai for so long, but you didn't come to see me until today. I've been thinking about the dishes you cook. How about we find a place to have a drink tonight?"
Jiang Cheng met Du Shaojie in the office, and the two had a good chat.
However, Jiang Cheng had a meeting later, so the meeting time was compressed to 30 minutes.
"Okay, if it's convenient for you, let's go to the private restaurant [Deep in the White Clouds] tonight, and I'll cook two dishes myself."
"Okay, I've been waiting for you to say that. I'm going to a meeting soon, so let's see you tonight."
The two agreed to have dinner together in the evening, and Du Shaojie said goodbye and left.
In the afternoon.
Du Shaojie came to the private restaurant on time, intending to cook a few [Cantonese dishes].
The staff in the kitchen quickly prepared the ingredients according to his instructions, and when Jiang Cheng arrived, several delicious dishes with good color, fragrance and taste had been served on the table.
Jiang Cheng now has a good alcohol tolerance. The two talked and laughed, and unknowingly drank more than half a bottle of white wine.
"Mr. Du, your cooking skills are amazing now. I don't even know what words to use to describe it. Really, this table is the most delicious food I have ever eaten. Thank you!"
Jiang Cheng did not lie, he also thought so in his heart.
"As long as you like to eat! I don't have any other skills, this is the only thing I can show off."
Du Shaojie was not modest. The thing he was most proud of in his life was that he had good cooking skills.
Jiang Cheng laughed and didn't say much. He actually knew the other party's business talent very well, otherwise he wouldn't have had billions of wealth at this age.
"Mr. Du, I heard that you also invested in a large supermarket in Shanghai? How about it, are you interested in investing in more projects in Shanghai? If you are interested, I will give you a green light all the way."
"There will be opportunities. As long as I can make money, you can let me invest in North America."
The two of them understood each other tacitly, and then raised their glasses to drink one.
When Jiang Cheng left, Du Shaojie mentioned his sister. He said that Du Xiaoya worked in the archives, and asked Jiang Cheng to take proper care of her, but he didn't ask for anything else.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Jiang Cheng shook hands with Du Shaojie and got in the car and left.
Du Shaojie smiled and shook his head, and he had no intention of asking the other party to help him get the land. Obviously, his sister Xiaoya is more important than making money. After he mentioned his sister, he could not mention the land.
Otherwise, it would cause disgust.
The next day.
Du Shaojie and others left the Magic City.
The villa in the Magic City is still under renovation, and someone will keep an eye on the project, so he doesn't have to worry about it.
A few days passed quickly.
Du Shaojie returned to Yangcheng.
Yu Jianxin, Meng Gang and others gathered at the training center. Du Shaojie called them to a meeting and mainly talked about some things during this inspection trip to other places.
"[Shuweixiang Old Hotpot] still maintains its growth momentum, and [Northwest Noodle House] is also doing well. The revenue and profit have increased several times compared to the previous two years.
However, [Xiangweiju]'s revenue and profit have declined significantly. Tell me first, what caused this to you."
Among the brands under its umbrella, [Xiangweiju] has the weakest presence, and [Xichuan Restaurant] has the strongest presence.
Du Shaojie has his own judgment on this phenomenon, but today he still wants to hear what everyone has to say.
"Hunan cuisine has been very popular in the past two years. Many Hunan restaurants have sprung up all over the country. The fierce competition has led to a decline in the financial data of [Xiangweiju]."
"It's not just the impact of the overall environment. I think the update of dishes is still a bit slow and has not kept up with the development of the situation."
"I think it's a talent problem. The company is full of talents and has many excellent [Sichuan] and [Cantonese] chefs. In comparison, we still have fewer [Hunan] chefs."
"Mr. Du, I have to review this matter. It's our management that hasn't kept up, so it has led to the current situation."
Everyone spoke one after another, and Dong Jun also reviewed at the meeting.
Du Shaojie nodded. After so many years of struggle, these people under him have made great progress.
"Mr. Dong, have you heard everyone's opinions? Next, you must make serious rectifications. If you can't reverse the downward trend of operating data within half a year, I will change someone to manage [Xiangweiju]."
Du Shaojie didn't make a long speech. Everyone's suggestions were good and what he wanted to say.
However, he didn't give Dong Jun face at the meeting and spoke in a stern tone.
The atmosphere became much more relaxed afterwards. Everyone discussed the development plan for the next three years. All kinds of visions and prospects will eventually be put into words and form a text file.
Du Shaojie rarely held such meetings. After the meeting, everyone went to [Seafood House] for a meal.
After the meal, everyone left one after another.
Dong Jun stayed at the end and took Du Shaojie to drink tea.
He actually wanted to discuss some specific management issues with the other party to see if there was a better way to get [Xiangweiju] out of the downturn as soon as possible and turn the situation around.
"You don't have to be too anxious. The frequency of updating dishes in each store should be accelerated, and then make some choices based on the results. The current environment is like this. As long as you can stop the decline, you will win."
Du Shaojie's requirements for [Xiangweiju] are not high. It is normal for business to rise and fall, but the gap should not be too large. If
the gap is too large, it will be difficult to turn the tables.
"I understand. I will seize the time to make more attempts."
Dong Jun had a bottom line in his heart. Next, he will travel around and will not return to the headquarters until the situation of [Xiangweiju] improves.
In this meeting, no one mentioned Xichuan Restaurant. As a benchmark enterprise of Sichuan cuisine, Xichuan Restaurant's business is very stable and it hardly encounters any challenges.
After a while,
Du Shaojie received a call from Dong Jun. After various attempts, the results seemed to be not ideal.
To put it bluntly, they still did not have enough "dishes" and there were too few varieties that could be called "special dishes". (End of this chapter)
