Du Shaojie found Li Yimei's expression funny, but he didn't say anything.
Luo Qin had been with Du Shaojie for a long time and knew his boss's personality. Her expression was relaxed and it was hard to tell.
"Assistant Luo, I'll give your secretary Li half a day off tomorrow. You two can go buy some clothes and some cosmetics. I'll reimburse you."
Du Shaojie certainly wouldn't favor one over the other and gave benefits to Luo Qin and Li Yimei.
Luo Qin and Li Yimei immediately shouted happily, then bowed to Du Shaojie and ran out to have fun.
Three days later.
Du Shaojie returned to Yangcheng.
"Boss, this is the operating data reported by General Manager Meng. Do you want to look at it now or wait until later?"
This morning, Du Shaojie had just finished breakfast when Li Yimei came over with a stack of reports.
He felt a little headache when he thought of the dense reports from Meng Gang.
"Put it away first, I'll look at it later, and ask Assistant Luo to come over."
Du Shaojie didn't check the report of the fast food chain, and then called Luo Qin over.
He asked Luo Qin to call Meng Gang and tell him that the weekly report could be changed to a monthly report or a quarterly report in the future, and there was no need to report too frequently.
"Okay, Mr. Du."
Luo Qin nodded in agreement. She also felt that Meng Gang's performance was a bit too much. After all, the fast food chain company was not essentially a company led by Du Shaojie, and he was just a small shareholder in it.
Then she called Meng Gang to inform him. Meng Gang was silent for a long time before he responded and ended the call.
Before, the two fast food chains were fighting fiercely, and many people in the industry were watching the show. At that time, they all thought that Meng Gang's company was just a vest of Du Shaojie, and Meng Gang himself was just a puppet.
But as the fight came to an end, some people gradually discovered the mystery.
That company was really the result of Meng Gang and others starting a business. The news slowly fermented, and there was a rumor that Meng Gang and Du Shaojie had a complete fallout and went their separate ways.
Du Shaojie has always been too lazy to pay attention to these rumors.
But Meng Gang and others are under a lot of pressure. The more pressure they have, the more frequently they report the company's operating reports. In fact, Du Shaojie hardly intervened in any affairs of the fast food chain company, and never expressed his opinion even after reading the financial statements.
He had no opinion on Meng Gang and others. He was sincere in letting them go out to start their own business, and there was no need to interfere now.
"Yongli, come with me for a walk."
Du Shaojie greeted him and took Wang Yongli and Peng Yongjun to Hou San's store.
Hou San's store is still on the old street, and it has changed a lot. The original small store has expanded at least three times in size. Correspondingly, the number of staff in the store has also increased a lot.
The main items have not changed, and they are still breakfast and [roast meat].
"Boss Du, why are you here?"
As long as Du Shaojie lives in the old street, Hou San will have someone send breakfast to him every day.
Sometimes Wang Yongli will come to pick up breakfast in person, after all, it is impossible for him to grasp Du Shaojie's movements at all times.
"I came to see how the business is going recently?"
Du Shaojie smiled and greeted Hou San. Hou San was his neighbor in Xijiang. They had an average relationship before, but they have had a good relationship over the years.
Hou San is like his half-apprentice, and he taught him the skill of [roast meat].
"People line up every day from noon, and the business is booming! We usually close at 5 pm, sometimes even at 3 pm, and there are customers who come from other places to buy [roast meat]."
At this point, Hou San looked at Du Shaojie with gratitude.
Thinking back to the time when he was cheated out of everything and could not survive, he was taken in by someone and taught him the method of making [roast meat].
He was able to get to where he is today because of the other party, so as long as Du Shaojie lives in the old street, he will definitely send breakfast to him.
"That's great! I said, have you ever thought about opening a branch?"
Du Shaojie can understand the current situation of Hou San's store, which is a bit similar to the "Internet celebrity store" in later generations.
However, the foundation of Hou San's store is much stronger than that of many "Internet celebrity stores", relying on excellent craftsmanship and real ingredients.
"No! I just want to run this store well. If I open a branch, I
won't be able to take care of it myself, and it will be difficult to maintain the same quality." Hou San shook his head, and he had no intention of opening
a branch. He knew that he was not good at management. It would be no problem for him to run a store by himself, but if he opened a few more branches, it would be a mess.
Du Shaojie smiled and said no more.
He liked Hou San in this state, who was focused and down-to-earth in doing things and didn't think about those things. There are not many people who can withstand the temptation of money these days, and it is rare that the other party can put himself in the right position.
Next, Hou San should roast today's [roast duck] [roast goose].
Du Shaojie didn't disturb him, and let the other party work first. He just stood behind and watched quietly.
"Not bad, your skills have improved a lot over the years."
Du Shaojie affirmed Hou San's skills, pointed out several minor flaws, and demonstrated it to him personally.
Hou San stared at Du Shaojie's movements intently, feeling that he had learned something again.
At noon.
Du Shaojie casually fried a few dishes at home, and asked Hou San to send a [roast duck] and a [roast goose] over.
He and Wang Yongli and others started eating immediately, and went upstairs to rest after the meal. The day was relaxed and comfortable.
I read a book upstairs for a while, and then took a nap. As soon as I woke up, Luo Qin and Wang Yongli knocked on the door and walked in. Both of them looked bad, as if there was something urgent.
"What's wrong?"
Du Shaojie calmly made a pot of tea, waiting for the two to speak.
"Boss, Mr. Meng and others sold off the stocks of [Northwest Noodle House] wantonly. After the news came out, the company's stock price plummeted. I plan to ask Mr. Meng in person why he did this?"
Luo Qin seemed a little emotional. She planned to let Wang Yongli go with her to find Meng Gang to question him.
Du Shaojie just smiled and said, "No need! As long as their behavior complies with the regulations, they are free to sell whenever they want. It doesn't make sense for you to put on an attitude of questioning them."
"But."
"No buts! Mr. Meng and his team have already left [Bailian Catering] and are now starting their own business. They can't ask others for anything like they did before, understand?"
"I understand."
Although Luo Qin was still a little emotional, she didn't dwell on it.
Wang Yongli had a dark face, obviously dissatisfied with what Meng Gang and others did.
Du Shaojie actually didn't know why those people suddenly sold off their stocks, but as he said, since they had already left [Bailian Catering], there was no need to ask him for instructions on what to do.
At this time, Li Yimei came in and said, "Boss Du, Boss Meng is here and wants to see you."
Speak of the devil, and the devil will appear. Du Shaojie thought for a moment and asked Li Yimei to bring the person up.
"Boss Du, I need to explain to you about the sale of stocks. The company encountered difficulties in the process of applying for listing, and it is not suitable for us to continue to hold stocks of companies in the same industry."
Meng Gang said that he did not expect that his and others' behavior of selling stocks would be misinterpreted.
They have been away from the listed company for a long time, and originally thought that it would not have an impact on the stock price of the listed company. Who knew that this would be the result.
"Boss Meng, you have to think more. Your behavior of selling stocks is reasonable and I will not blame you."
Du Shaojie also felt speechless. This matter might have been used by someone again. Without anyone fanning the flames, the stock price of the listed company could not have fallen so much.
Meng Gang kept apologizing, Du Shaojie comforted him, and then served tea to see him off.
He and Meng Gang did not have a big conflict, otherwise he would not support each other's entrepreneurship. The root of this matter is that someone is making a fuss, seemingly trying to sow discord between him and Meng Gang, and at the same time suppressing the stock price of [Northwest Noodle House].
"Assistant Luo, go to the listed company and issue a statement to clarify the fact that Meng Gang and others have already left. Yongli, find someone to investigate and see who is behind this matter?"
Du Shaojie would not panic because of this matter. He issued orders in an orderly manner, and Luo Qin and Wang Yongli began to act separately.
In fact, the temporary fluctuation of the stock price is nothing, but it cannot leave the impression of irregular management to shareholders. As a listed company, it still has to cherish its feathers.
However, once he finds out who is doing small tricks behind the scenes, he will never be polite.
In the evening.
Su Dapeng came to the door with a bottle of good wine.
"Shaojie, I am also wrong in this matter. I should have issued a clarification announcement as soon as possible, but I was slow to react. I plan to resign as the chairman of the company, and I hope you will approve it."
Su Dapeng does not have a high degree, but he has been working in the catering industry for so many years and has the ability.
He had no problem with the internal management of the company, but he had no experience with the abnormal fluctuations in stock prices, so he failed to seize the high ground of public opinion in the first place.
He was also a shareholder of the listed company. This mistake made him feel very embarrassed, so he thought about resigning.
Anyway, he was not short of money. Du Shaojie had always taken care of him for the sake of their childhood friend, and he was the first to get rich with Du Shaojie. In the previous palace coup, he was actually dragged into the water passively, but fortunately Du Shaojie did not blame him.
Now that the listed company had problems, he could not make things difficult for Du Shaojie.
"Approval! You suffered a loss this time, so you should sum up your experience and lessons, and learn more about things you don't understand. What's so difficult about that? Okay, do your job well, and don't try to hide when something happens."
Du Shaojie sneered and said a few words to Su Dapeng.
Then he raised his glass and clinked it with the other party, and drank it all.
"I know, I know, can't I pay attention next time?"
Su Dapeng also drank the wine in the glass, and then the two chatted about everything. (End of this chapter)
