Chapter 523: There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
Du Shaojie ignored the rise and fall of the stock price of [Shuxianglou]. He couldn't sell the stocks in his hands yet, so he just asked someone to keep an eye on them.
He has recently been reviewing the pros and cons of the "Food Market" activity. Generally speaking, the pros far outweigh the cons.
"Mr. Yu, can our stores continue this activity in the future?"
"It's not impossible to continue, but the scale must be greatly reduced, otherwise it will affect normal operations."
Yu Jianxin has been very busy recently, running around the country, and only today did he have time to report to Du Shaojie.
He thinks the "Food Market" activity is quite good, but it is not easy to hold more, otherwise it will be putting the cart before the horse and will seriously interfere with the normal operation of the enterprise.
Therefore, he put forward a new suggestion.
"That's the truth. You are responsible for the rest of the things, and you have the final say on how to do it."
Du Shaojie did not forcefully interfere. He handed the initiative to Yu Jianxin, after all, he was the general manager of the catering company.
The food festival held by the association has come to an end and has received good social response. This is not only Du Shaojie's achievement, but also the achievement of all the directors of the association.
This event of theirs was commended by their superiors, and Luo Santong had a bright smile on his face the whole day.
Of course, this is a one-time event for the association. As for whether other catering companies will stick to it, that is their own business, and the association will not interfere.
Yu Jianxin returned to the company and discussed with the management, and then decided to choose a flagship store in each province. Continue to do the "food market."
The market is open every weekend and holiday. The purpose is to promote food culture and provide a window for top chefs and ordinary consumers to communicate.
Du Shaojie thinks it's a good idea. Keeping a small window will allow more customers to know his brands in the future.
In the evening.
He called his mother Wang Yuxiu, Xiaomei, Sun Haitao and his family to his home for dinner.
Wang Yuxiu basically lives with Xiaomei now. Xiaomei has long returned to the provincial bank from the grassroots level. She is also a middle-level cadre, but she is not as busy as before.
However, as long as Du Shaojie has time, he will still visit his mother frequently.
"Brother, you are getting more and more famous now. It's not easy to eat the dishes you cook. "
It's rare to eat the dishes cooked by Du Shaojie himself, Xiaomei couldn't help but make a joke.
Most of the family gatherings are eaten outside, and the most popular place is a private restaurant.
"Eating can't stop your mouth, come, have a piece of pork elbow."
Du Shaojie smiled. He has had a lot of worries in the past two years and is often too lazy to move.
In fact, he has many excellent chefs under him, and the dishes they make are not bad. Xiaomei was just joking.
Wang Yuxiu smiled as she watched the brother and sister bickering, and suddenly remembered their childhood and laughed.
Sun Haitao accompanied Du Shaojie for a few drinks, and then said: "Brother, I want to do some light meals in the teahouse, do you have any suggestions?"
He opened several teahouses in Yangcheng, and the business is pretty good, and he lives a very comfortable life.
However, the business items of the teahouse are a bit monotonous. According to the requirements of customers, he wants to do light meals. It happened that there was such an expert at home, so he wanted to take this opportunity to ask for advice.
"I don't have any suggestions. I'll find two chefs for you later. You can talk to them. They have experience. "
Du Shaojie is not very familiar with this area, but he has many talented people under him, so it is not a problem to transfer two professionals to Sun Haitao.
Some bars or coffee shops also provide light meals. How to make them meet the requirements of customers requires the other party to slowly explore.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you to be more careful, brother."
Sun Haitao was quite polite, which made Xiaomei roll her eyes at him.
Du Shaojie didn't say much, and directly called Chu Linlin, the manager of Peixin Center, and asked her to handle the matter.
After dinner, the family sat together to drink tea and chat. It was past 9 o'clock in the evening before Du Shaojie sent someone to send them back.
Now the two sisters are living a good life, the mother's health is also good, and there is nothing to worry about at home. It's just that mother Wang Yuxiu has a lot of opinions about Qi Yan. He has done a lot of work in the middle, but it seems that it didn't play any role.
The reason is that he and Qi Yan have been separated for a long time, and they are busy with their own careers.
This is a problem that has no solution for the time being. Fortunately, Qi Yan will bring her daughter to Yangcheng to play for a few days from time to time. As long as Wang Yuxiu sees her granddaughter, The mood will also improve.
At least on the surface, he will not show his displeasure to Qi Yan.
Before the New Year.
Qi Yan returned to Guangzhou with her daughter. Xiaoya and Shen Rui's family also came to play for a few days. The family spent the New Year happily together, and did not go their separate ways until the fifth day of the New Year.
Xiaoya's family returned to Shanghai, and Xiaomei's family and Wang Yuxiu went to the island for a tour.
Du Shaojie simply took Qi Yan and his daughter to Europe, and
did not return to China until the end of the winter vacation. After returning, he stayed in Hong Kong.
After the New Year, [Shuxianglou] announced a restructuring agreement, and An Quan transferred 70% of his shares to Li Zekai and others at a price of HK$12 per share.
Li Zekai pinched his nose to complete the transaction, but his relationship with An Quan was almost broken, and they were destined to go their separate ways in the future.
At this time, the share price of [Shuxianglou] had risen to more than 30 Hong Kong dollars. Just as the stock trading restrictions on Du Shaojie and others had been lifted, he and the persons acting in concert began to sell their shares and leave.
For Li Zekai and others, now is a critical period for the company's reorganization, so they have to take action to maintain the stability of the stock price.
Although they were very angry, they could only watch Du Shaojie and others leave with profits, and there was nothing they could do.
Du Shaojie and An Quan cooperated tacitly and each got what they wanted.
"Mr. Du, cheers for our smooth exit!"
An Quan specially invited Du Shaojie to have a meal afterwards. The two were not friends, and the relationship of competition still existed, but it did not hinder the good cooperation between the two parties on this matter. Du Shaojie
did not disrupt the situation and smash the market, so An Quan could cash out at a high position.
And An Quan controlled the reorganization process, and Du Shaojie sold the stocks effortlessly.
It can be said that from now on, Li Zekai hated both of them. Du Shaojie didn't care. He had never provoked Li Kaize before, and the other party was always targeting him, right?
As for Yin Qiang, they had already turned against each other, and he was willing to do anything that could cause trouble for the other party.
"Mr. An, happy cooperation."
Du Shaojie and An Quan drank a few glasses of wine, and then stopped talking about business, only talking about love and romance.
The meal was very happy, but after leaving the restaurant, the two went their separate ways.
There will be competition between the two in the future, but this is another matter. An Quan was almost cheated by Li Zekai and others this time, and it is estimated that he will never think about going public again in the future.
"Mr. Du, we made a lot of money this time, at least this amount."
Two days later, [Dingxin International] held a celebration banquet.
Winnie drank a lot of wine and quietly told Du Shaojie that the company made at least 350 million Hong Kong dollars this time. They made money, and Li Zekai and others lost money.
Du Shaojie smiled at each other and clinked glasses again.
The next day.
Du Shaojie got up a little late. He drank too much last night. Although he was not drunk, he was a little drunk.
After a good sleep, he completely recovered.
Luo Qin asked the nanny to cook a pot of porridge, and Wang Yongli went out to buy some buns and side dishes. After breakfast, Du Shaojie became lively again.
"Boss Du, it's Manager Feng's call."
He didn't want to go out today and planned to rest at home.
He then sat in the study to read a book, and after he was immersed in it, he forgot the time until Li Yimei came in.
The call was from Feng Bin, who sounded very anxious: "Boss, I have encountered a strange thing here."
Feng Bin is the manager of the Xiangjiang company, and his status is the same as that of the mainland regional manager. He has done a good job here over the years and has not been confused when encountering things. I don't know what happened today.
"Don't worry, talk slowly."
Du Shaojie comforted the other party, and Feng Bin continued to explain the situation.
The company has opened many stores in Xiangjiang, and most of the sub-brands have also taken root here. Among these stores, some of the properties of the stores are purchased, and some of the stores are rented.
Early this morning, Feng Bin came to the office as usual.
Then he received calls from the landlords one after another. The landlords all said the same thing. In one sentence, the rent will increase from next month, and the increase will be as high as 100%.
"The landlord said that if we don't agree to the increase, they will take back the storefront."
"How was the previous rental contract signed?"
"The contract states that the rent will be adjusted once a year. There is nothing we can do about it. It is almost an industry practice. But the problem is that the rent has doubled all of a sudden. Who can bear this?"
There are no loopholes in the house rental contract itself. At that time, it was signed for three years, and then it was signed once a year.
Of course, it is not time to adjust the rent yet, but it will only take a few months at most. There is no point in worrying about it. The current situation is that the landlord wants to drive people away, but he just didn't say it out loud.
"Haha, I understand. I'll handle this matter, you do your thing."
Du Shaojie immediately knew what was going on. Needless to say, except for Mr. Li, no one else has such a great influence in Hong Kong.
In fact, the landlord's taking back the storefront now will definitely constitute a breach of contract, but the liquidated damages and the losses he suffered are completely on a different level.
He then hung up the phone, changed his clothes and went to [Dingxin International].
The company has a dedicated legal department, and has also hired a well-known barrister as the company's legal advisor. It would be right to ask them about things like this.
When the barrister who served as the legal advisor hurried over, Du Shaojie first called them to a meeting.
At the meeting, he first explained the situation, and then asked these legal elites what countermeasures they had.
"Mr. Du, if the landlord is determined to breach the contract, we can file a lawsuit. However, lawsuits like this are almost impossible to win, and even if we win, what can we do? The storefront lease is about to expire. If the other party is determined not to renew the contract, we really have no choice."
