Since Du Shaojie agreed to make a guest appearance temporarily, she couldn't just do nothing, so she began to check some reports and statements.
The data showed that the company's business activities were still very healthy, but some of the company's senior executives were either lying flat or expanding their ambitions.
The departure of the three executives this time showed that there was a problem with the company's incentive mechanism.
If the people who work and the people who lie flat are the same, no one will get more (less) a penny. Those who want to lie flat simply lie flat completely, and those who are ambitious begin to leave.
After finding the crux of the problem, Du Shaojie began to talk to the executives
one by one. [Beichen Education] is a company founded by Qi Yan. Although he is one of the major shareholders and Qi Yan's husband, he does not have much say in the company.
This time, Du Shaojie did not intend to take too drastic measures as the acting chairman, but mainly to appease people's hearts.
The next step is to re-establish the reward and punishment system, including performance rewards, option rewards, etc., which all need to be revised. On the one hand, it will break the unfairness of distribution, and on the other hand, there will be a job assessment system.
The capable will be promoted, and those who lie flat and muddle through will be demoted, and there will be no more harmony.
During this process, Qi Yan's two deputies, who were also partners in the business, provided great help to Du Shaojie.
Otherwise, if he was just using Qi Yan's name, some things might not be able to be implemented smoothly.
After a period of hard work, the company's reorganization began to show results. A number of key positions happened to be vacant, and he suggested that Qi Yan publicly recruit qualified talents, just in time to replace a group of fresh blood.
Du Shaojie did not participate in the rest of the things. He resigned from the post of temporary chairman and set off to return to Guangzhou.
"Mr. Du, over a period of time, the company's stores have decreased by 36, mainly due to the trouble caused by demolition. We are currently actively renting storefronts, and the decoration of some stores is about to be completed."
A few days after Du Shaojie came back, Yu Jianxin came to report to him.
The business situation of [Bailian Catering] is very stable. The only major event is that a few stores have encountered the problem of demolition.
Although there will be new storefronts for compensation after the demolition, it will take at least a few years. The original stores can only rent storefronts again, or they can only reduce the number of stores.
It is not a big problem to have more or fewer stores, but Yu Jianxin thinks that the staff team should be kept stable, so he made such an arrangement.
"You have done a good job. You have tried not to lay off employees if you can. It is not like you are unable to operate, right?"
Du Shaojie nodded with satisfaction. The other party's handling of the matter was very much to his liking.
Yu Jianxin then talked about some other aspects of work, and then got up to say goodbye.
Du Shaojie saw that it was getting late, so he asked the other party to have dinner at home. He then went to the kitchen to cook a few dishes and opened a bottle of Moutai wine.
"Mr. Du, since [Northwest Noodle House] swallowed Mr. Meng's fast food chain, its development speed has accelerated sharply. Speaking of which, I am really a little envious of them. I can't compare with them here."
After a few glasses of wine, Yu Jianxin talked about [Northwest Noodle House].
After completing this acquisition, [Northwest Noodle House] has taken a big step forward in all aspects.
The other brands under [Bailian Catering] have now entered a stable period, and their development speed has slowed down. It is difficult for revenue and profit to reproduce the original high-speed growth.
"It's not a good thing to expand the scale blindly. At this scale, stability is more important than anything else."
Du Shaojie understood the other party's hint, but he had no intention of continuing to expand.
In the past two years, most of the money earned by [Bailian Catering] has been used to purchase shops, rather than to open new stores. There are some different voices within the company. Yu Jianxin came this time to find out what the boss thinks.
Now that he has the answer, he will not have any unreasonable thoughts.
Du Shaojie can understand the ideas of the company's top management, but he will not run the company according to their ideas.
After dinner, Yu Jianxin left in a hurry. He has endless things to do all day long, and he has to rush back to Shenzhen today. For
the next period of time, Du Shaojie did not go anywhere, but stayed in Yangcheng to study [Fusion Sichuan Cuisine]. In this process, on the one hand, he can open up his mind, and on the other hand, he has reorganized what he has learned throughout his life.
The catering industry has always been very competitive, and it is definitely not possible to just lie down and eat the old capital.
"Mr. Du, the latest notice from the company."
This morning, Li Yimei quickly handed Du Shaojie a document.
After taking the document and taking a look, he immediately paid attention to it.
He then called Yu Jianxin and asked, "Are you sure about this?"
"Yes! Shuxianglou has received 1 billion yuan in financing and is speeding up its layout. Judging from their attitude, they may regard us as their biggest rival."
[Shuweixiang] is a Sichuan restaurant with a long history. This company has been trying to operate a chain before, but the overall effect is not very good.
This time, the other party has obtained a huge amount of financing and suddenly accelerated the layout. It can be said that the newcomer is not friendly.
As a peer, [Xichuan Restaurant] is undoubtedly a thorn in the other party's eyes. The two sides have had conflicts before, but the scale is not large. But from now on, the two sides have become a comprehensive competitive relationship.
"Well, I know, I will go to the company in a few days."
Du Shaojie is very clear that [Shuxianglou] is definitely a strong opponent and needs to be faced seriously.
However, he has nothing to be nervous about.
On the one hand, he has fought with the other party and once perfectly reproduced the other party's signature dishes. On the other hand, competition in the catering industry is everywhere. Even if there is no challenge from [Shuxianglou], it will face challenges from other opponents.
Next, Du Shaojie also asked someone to investigate and found out that [Shuxianglou] will open 60 new stores across the country at one time.
This must be a big deal. After all, it is a mid-to-high-end restaurant, and the investment is not small. This shows the other party's determination to compete for the Sichuan cuisine market.
At present, the most famous Sichuan cuisine chain brand in China is [Xichuan Restaurant]. The two have finally moved from local competition to full-scale confrontation.
"Then come on, [Xichuan Restaurant] has been established for so many years, from scratch to big, we must not be afraid of any storms."
A week later.
Du Shaojie held a meeting in the headquarters building. At the meeting, he confidently encouraged everyone.
[Xichuan Restaurant] itself has come through fierce competition. Although [Shuxianglou] claims to be a century-old brand, its current reputation is not as good as [Xichuan Restaurant]. This shows that the other party is not invincible.
Yu Jianxin and others felt more confident, and then they began to formulate countermeasures. Du Shaojie left the meeting room in advance.
He did not need to personally participate in specific matters. The people in the catering company were experienced and he completely trusted them.
"Boss Du, we have found through investigation that Shuxianglou has received financing from three parties. These include the funds from the Li family, the funds from Cape Town Bank, and the funds from Yin Qiang."
Du Shaojie stayed in Shenzhen. He could not care about anything, but it was better for him to stay in the company.
Even if he was a mascot, with him, the entire company from top to bottom would have the confidence to win.
Yu Jianxin had a new investigation conclusion. The three sources of funds supporting Shuxianglou had conflicts with Du Shaojie.
"Are you so sure that I will lose? Boss Yu, you don't have to worry about the funds. The storefronts that should be purchased will remain the same. If the working capital is tight, you must tell me as soon as possible and I will find a way."
Du Shaojie felt speechless. Every time Shuxianglou made trouble, it would join forces with its opponents (enemies). I really don't know what they are thinking.
But it doesn't matter. In the catering industry, he is not afraid of these people together.
"Okay, I understand. By the way, there is another piece of news. I heard that [Shuxianglou] is preparing to go public in Hong Kong. Do you think they will be able to do something big for the listing?"
Yu Jianxin then broke a new piece of news, saying that [Shuxianglou] plans to go public in Hong Kong.
The purpose of going public is to raise funds, but the other party has just received 1 billion yuan. The question is, can they earn it back?
No wonder the other party is stepping up to increase the number of stores. It seems that the other party is also trying their best to go public.
After Jianxin left, Du Shaojie called Qi Yan and asked about the source of talent for [Shuxianglou]. As long as there is money, in theory, countless stores can be opened, but in reality it is impossible, and it will be restricted by the number of talents.
If it is to open a few branches, for a company like [Shuxianglou], the pressure is not great. But opening 60 stores at once, the pressure is not trivial.
"Husband, as far as I know, the other party has recruited a large number of people in our company alone. In addition, they have their own internal training mechanism, and dozens of stores should be able to cope with it."
Qi Yan explained Du Shaojie's doubts, and at the same time she was very depressed. Isn't this aiding the enemy?
In fact, it is difficult for her to control the whereabouts of the students, and she can only guide them. After all, the students come to you to learn cooking skills, or to improve their cooking skills. Who wants to get involved in these rubbish?
Du Shaojie got the information he wanted and then hung up.
Next, the stores of [Shuxianglou] sprang up like mushrooms after rain, and various advertisements followed up simultaneously, with a kind of bombardment momentum.
[Shuxianglou] is a well-known enterprise after all, and it is embarrassed to fight closely, but the newly built stores are intentionally or unintentionally opened within a kilometer of [Xichuan Restaurant].
The impact was immediate. [Xichuan Restaurant], which has always been as stable as an old dog, saw a double decline in turnover and profit this month.
Although the decline is not large, the signs have already appeared, which has attracted the attention of Yu Jianxin and others.
Du Shaojie thought it was normal. The opening of the other party's new store would definitely divert some of the customers from his own store. As for whether these customers who are willing to try new things can be retained, it depends on the other party's ability.
If there is no unique skill, customers will only try a little and eventually return to [Xichuan Restaurant]. (End of this chapter)
