"Dongzi, thank you!"
Du Shaojie was so busy recently that he didn't even figure out such an important matter.
Even if the relationship is good, if someone helps you at a critical moment, you should take the initiative to express your gratitude.
"We are all brothers, it's a bit awkward to say thank you. In fact, you have thanked me. My brother Abo has made a lot of money on the stock of [Northwest Noodle House] this time."
Pang Weidong smiled and waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to be polite between friends.
His interests are intertwined with Xu Bo and Du Shaojie, so it is his duty to help.
"I'll remember this matter. Come on, have a drink."
Du Shaojie said no more and chatted happily with the two people while eating and drinking.
After dinner, Pang Weidong suggested going to sing and he would arrange it.
Du Shaojie and Xu Bo had no objection, so they followed him to a large KTV karaoke hall.
"Isn't this Yin Qiang's place?"
The three of them were familiar with this place. It used to be the flagship store of [Yuedong Entertainment], and later, Yin Qiang was sold.
The front door and the signboard have been changed, but the other decorations remain the same. However, the business should have changed a lot. There are so many beautiful women in the store, and you can smell a restless atmosphere as soon as you walk in.
The three of them asked for a large private room, and the current consumption has also increased by several levels compared to before.
"Isn't Yin Qiang a little too eager for quick success? I think he will have problems sooner or later."
Du Shaojie smiled and said his feelings after sitting down.
"Who knows, I hope someone can protect him for life."
Pang Weidong shrugged and seemed indifferent.
He then asked the manager to call in several waves of beauties, and finally selected 6, and the private room suddenly became lively.
The beer, red wine, and foreign wine on the table were all opened, and the 6 beauties accompanied them to drink and sing.
Pang Weidong played a small game with them, and his luck was particularly good, and he was simply killing all around. As
soon as these girls came in, they felt that the identities of these three men were not simple, so they deliberately tried to please them one by one, and everyone was in a good mood all night.
As long as Pang Weidong and others are willing, he can take them out for a midnight snack with a wave of his hand.
Du Shaojie is not very interested in fast food, and Pang Weidong and Xu Bo are not in the mood today. They play until late at night and then leave together.
When he got home, Qi Yan was already asleep. He took a shower and processed a few documents before going back to bed.
Time flies.
In a blink of an eye, Du Shaojie has been in Beijing for more than half a month.
This time he came and donated 10 million yuan to the Olympic project in his personal name. Unlike in the past, he accepted an interview with the media afterwards, but did not record or take pictures. The interview was only published in the newspaper in the form of text.
Afterwards, the reporter checked and found that this was not the first time Du Shaojie donated to the Olympic project. The company under the other party was also a sponsor of this Olympic Games.
At present, the country's economic strength is limited. To host a sports event of this scale, support from all walks of life is needed.
Someone above discovered this highlight and instructed the media to publicize it more. After all, Du Shaojie played a good demonstration role. He was also commended for this. Although such behavior was inconsistent with his usual low-key image, at least he had an extra layer of protection.
To be honest, he was very tired of being attacked openly and secretly, otherwise he would never have been so prominent.
This morning.
Du Shaojie received a call from Feng Qingsong.
"Shaojie, my family and relatives will come to Beijing in a few days. Do you have time to help me prepare a family dinner? There will be about 10 people, and the dishes will be mainly [Sichuan cuisine] and [Jinling cuisine]."
Feng Qingsong's ancestral home is in Jiangsu Province, but he has always stayed outside. He has been to Xijiang, Sichuan, and Guangdong Province. He has only returned to his hometown a few times in so many years.
This time, it is rare for his family to reunite in Beijing. He doesn't want to be too ostentatious, so he plans to entertain his family and relatives in the form of a family dinner.
In addition, he is also greedy for Du Shaojie's dishes.
"No problem, are you cooking at home or somewhere else?"
As a professional chef, he is first concerned about the kitchen. There are many limitations in cooking at home, and it is impossible to fully exert one's strength. It would be better if there is a professional kitchen.
"Haha, it's a rare opportunity to ask you to help me. I can't do it well at home. I have contacted a farm. We will have a day there and have a good meal at noon. There is a professional kitchen there."
Feng Qingsong retired from the front line and had a lot more time for himself.
He had never held such a family dinner before, mainly because he was too busy at work.
"No problem here. I will give you a menu later. I will prepare all the ingredients after it is decided."
"I won't look at the menu. Just do it as you like. As for the ingredients, it would be best if you can help. I will pay you when the time comes."
After the two of them reached an agreement, they ended the call.
Du Shaojie attached great importance to Feng Qingsong's family dinner. He carefully prepared a menu according to the capacity of a table of 12 people. If he had not prepared a state banquet before, this banquet would definitely be held according to the state banquet standard.
On the day, Du Shaojie transferred a few helpers from his [Private Restaurant] and [Xichuan Restaurant], and then went to a farm in the suburbs together.
All the ingredients and other materials needed, including some special seasonings, were provided by [Private Restaurant].
Catering companies have their own supply channels, and some ingredients cannot be bought at the vegetable market. This saved him a lot of trouble and he could focus all his energy on cooking.
The family dinner that day was a joyful occasion, and everyone was especially surprised by the delicious dishes on the table.
This level of dishes, let alone not having eaten them before, had never even been seen.
After Du Shaojie finished his work, he toasted Feng Qingsong and his family with a glass of wine, and then evacuated with his team. They then had lunch at the private restaurant, and the temporary team disbanded on the spot.
In the evening.
Feng Qingsong called Du Shaojie to express his gratitude.
It seems that he really attaches great importance to this family dinner, otherwise he would not have taken such trouble to arrange it.
Du Shaojie was also very happy. After being polite, he hung up.
He and the other party have known each other since Xijiang. It has been many years, but the relationship between the two has never changed.
He stayed in Beijing for a long time this time. He accompanied his daughter to climb the Great Wall on the weekend and flew back to Guangzhou on Monday.
"Mr. Du, Manager Ren has called you many times and wants to talk to you. When are you free?"
After returning, Du Shaojie dealt with some work matters, and Li Yimei reminded him.
He pondered for a moment and told Li Yimei that he would go to Shenzhen next week and could meet with Manager Ren at that time.
In fact, he already knew the purpose of the other party looking for him. He is currently promoting internal reforms, and the famous "virtual shares" in the future have already begun to emerge.
The advantage of employee stock ownership is that you can obtain a large amount of financing without going public, and the disadvantage is that the shares of the company founders and investors will be greatly diluted.
This would affect his investment returns.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head. The model adopted by the other party may not be the best, but it must be the most suitable for them. I need to handle this matter carefully, just like before.
Du Shaojie lent a hand to Manager Ren at the beginning of his business, but there was no continuous investment afterwards. He didn't want to change the development path of the company, mainly because he was worried that his excessive involvement would lead to unpredictable changes.
Therefore, the other party later began to explore the path of "virtual shares".
A week later.
Du Shaojie went to Shenzhen and met Manager Ren in the headquarters building.
"Manager Ren, what you do will greatly dilute my shares, and the valuation of your financing is too low. Can I think that this practice will infringe on my personal interests?"
Du Shaojie was not polite and directly threw out his dissatisfaction in his heart.
"I know it's unfair to you to do this, so I have modified the plan before I come to you. If Mr. Du doesn't mind, I can give you the right to increase capital in the same proportion, so that your shares will not be overly diluted."
Manager Ren knew that this level was not easy to pass. At that time, the company couldn't even pay wages. If it weren't for the other party's investment, he didn't know how to stick to it.
Now the company has overcome the difficulties, but the problems left over from history still bother him.
He was determined to reform this time, even at the cost of diluting his shares as an entrepreneur, but he had to consider Du Shaojie.
After much consideration, he gritted his teeth and offered the most favorable terms.
The other party was definitely not short of money, so this matter was equivalent to him doing Du Shaojie a big favor.
"That's not necessary. My opinion is that the valuation of each round of financing must be reasonable and not too low. In addition, virtual shares are more like preferred shares and have no voting rights, but my shares must re-establish voting rights."
Du Shaojie certainly wanted to negotiate conditions, but he didn't want to completely disrupt the other party's layout, so he made up for it in other aspects.
"Okay, I will bring your opinions back to the company for discussion and give you a reply within three days. Mr. Du, I have always been grateful to you. If it weren't for your investment back then, we would have to question whether we could have come this far."
Manager Ren was also very happy. He personally agreed with the other party's plan in his heart, but he still had to go through the procedures, and there would be no change in this matter.
Before he left, he shook hands with Du Shaojie and said a few words of thanks.
"These are all business transactions, you don't have to take it to heart."
Du Shaojie politely sent the other party downstairs. The result of this meeting was not bad, and both parties were very satisfied.
Three days later, Manager Ren called and said that the company agreed to the new plan. The valuation of this round of financing has been doubled, which means that the shares in their hands are more valuable.
After ending the call, Du Shaojie handed the matter over to Luo Qin.
Luo Qin will go to sign the agreement on his behalf. This investment is a long-term investment and he will not sell it. Maybe it will have to be stopped. The dividends over the years have far exceeded his original investment. What else is there to worry about?
After finishing this matter, he took the time to go to [Huanyu Communications]. (End of this chapter)
