Chapter 558 A fragile balance



Du Shaojie guessed the subsequent path of [Hongsheng Investment], so he pulled two people together early and bought the stocks of [Kawakami Family Co., Ltd.] at a low price.

Because the number of stocks purchased was controlled, none of them became major shareholders, so it did not attract the attention of the outside world.

According to the current stock price, several people have made a lot of profit.

"Sell it, I just want to make some pocket money."

Du Shaojie thought about it and decided to clear the warehouse decisively.

Starting from the next trading day, he, Pang Weidong and Xu Bo used some time to clear the stocks in their hands, and each of them made at least 30 million yuan in profit.

This amount of money is nothing compared to their personal assets. But this money came easily and in a short time. The key is to get wool from the opponent, and everyone is very happy.

"Ajie, I'll treat you tonight, let's go and have fun."

Pang Weidong made an invitation. Anyway, this money was free, so it's not a pity to spend it.

Du Shaojie shook his head and said, "Forget it. My daughter will take the college entrance examination soon. I'd better go back early."

Pang Weidong and Xu Bo knew his situation and didn't force him.

Du Shaojie started preparing dinner when he got home. He was very serious when cooking and only started to deal with official business at night.

He was a little absent-minded today. He had been thinking about [Kawakami Family] these days. Did he think he was too conservative?

With the college entrance examination coming, Du Shaojie just asked Zou Xiaohe to pick up his daughter every day, and he prepared meals at home. It's not that he didn't want to accompany his daughter to the examination center, but he didn't want to put too much pressure on her.

Qi Yan was the same. The two didn't ask their daughter how the exam went these days.

After the exam, it was still the daughter who took the initiative to report to them, saying that she performed well this time.

Du Shaojie didn't get involved in the subsequent application for volunteers. There was an expert (Qi Yan) at home, and they just needed to discuss this matter between mother and daughter.

He returned to Yangcheng and discussed the feasibility of extending the industrial chain with the company's management. He admitted that [Kawakami Family] did better than him in this regard, and he was too lazy to talk about it.

But Du Shaojie also has an advantage, that is, he can listen to opinions and even learn from his enemies humbly.

"I think we also need to extend the industrial chain. The previous actions of [Chuan Shang Ren Jia] gave me a lot of inspiration. What do you think?"

"Mr. Du, the extension of the industrial chain will inevitably involve the problem of cross-field operation. In this way, our risks will increase. Is it necessary?"

"Mr. Yu, I don't agree with you. The extension of the industrial chain is actually a good idea. If it can be implemented, it will not only not increase the risk but increase our sense of security."

Everyone's opinions are divided into two completely different factions. Yu Jianxin and others firmly oppose it, while Wu Chenggang and others strongly support it.

"How about this, let [Xichuan Restaurant] try the extension of the industry chain first,"

Du Shaojie listened to everyone's opinions and then made a summary speech.

He plans to use [Xichuan Restaurant] as a carrier for the trial. Anyway, each sub-brand is a legal person enterprise with separate accounting, and he still has more than 2 billion yuan left from his previous capital injection, so there is no need to add pressure to the head office.

After Du Shaojie said this, Yu Jianxin and others had no objection.

Later, Xichuan Restaurant also acquired a pork production company and a food factory. In short, he must have whatever Chuan Shang Ren Jia has.

It is said that Chuan Shang Ren Jia cursed Xichuan Restaurant behind its back for being shameless. The other party actually followed closely behind it, and you can't say that they are plagiarizing.

However, Xichuan Restaurant did not stop.

"Mr. Du, this is the vacuum-packed Bobo Chicken we tried to make. Try it."

In addition to developing cured meat, the food factory has also developed a lot of Sichuan cuisine seasoning packages, and even vacuum-packed finished dishes and snacks.

Today, the manager of the food factory brought him a new product, Bobo Chicken.

Du Shaojie tore open the package, smelled it, and then asked Li Yimei to heat it up.

After a while, a plate of steaming hot Bobo Chicken was served. He picked it up and ate a few skewers, and it tasted very good.

"Seasoning is the masterpiece of the chefs of [Xichuan Restaurant]. We developed this product based on a fixed flavor. I am more confident after receiving the boss's praise."

The manager of the food factory left happily, and then the new products began to be put on the market in batches.

The products on the market are all branded with the [Xichuan Restaurant] trademark, with excellent quality, and the price is not cheap or expensive, and the response in the market is good.

Du Shaojie had neglected it before. This market is huge and the profit is also very good.

"Haha, I have to thank my opponent for helping us explore the way."

Du Shaojie saw Wu Chenggang holding back his laughter, so he simply made it clear.

He would not talk about the morality of the underworld with his opponent, because his opponent could not talk about morality with him. Therefore, he copied the opponent's model without any psychological burden.

"Boss, I think we have taken the right step."

Wu Chenggang couldn't help laughing.

But he had to admit that Du Shaojie's move was a stroke of genius, and it was time to teach his opponent a lesson.

Previously, [Xichuan Restaurant] had been forbearing, basically the other side attacked and we defended. Now the offense and defense have switched, Wu Chenggang feels very happy.

"Go back and recruit some talents with the relevant personnel of the company. If we follow them and lose money, it will be a big joke."

The original staff of the food factory and pork production enterprise basically stayed.

The reason is that Du Shaojie did not have relevant talents. In order not to affect production and operation, he started to adjust the staff at this time.

After this period of running-in, he basically had an idea in his mind. Some incompetent and lazy personnel must be eliminated. The staff gap can only be recruited from outside, which should not cause major turmoil.

Wu Chenggang understood and went to handle the matter immediately.

It was easier to find personnel than he thought. After all, it was a traditional industry without too high a technical threshold. The newly recruited employees arrived at their posts on time, and Du Shaojie also rectified the atmosphere of several companies.

At noon that day,

he received a call from his daughter. His daughter was admitted to Beijing University and jumped for joy on the other end of the phone.

"Congratulations, daughter. What reward do you want?"

Du Shaojie was very happy and took the initiative to bring up the reward.

"I want to go out for a trip, but my mother said she doesn't have time. Dad, will you go with me?"

The daughter was full of expectations and waited for Du Shaojie's reply.

"Okay!"

Du Shaojie thought about it and immediately agreed to his daughter.

The two agreed to meet in Shenzhen and then go directly to Hong Kong.

Later, he still called Qi Yan and asked her how busy she was.

"I'm not trying to create opportunities for you and your daughter. You and your daughter are rarely together, so you should spend more time with her this summer vacation. As for me, I really have something to do here. I'll talk about it later."

Qi Yan smiled and answered, and then said no more.

Du Shaojie knew his temper, so he did not continue to ask.

Afterwards, he took his daughter from Hong Kong, first went to Europe, and then from Europe to the Maple Leaf Country and America. Although it was a quick tour and the stay in each place was very short, his daughter was still very happy.

He only brought Zou Xiaohe, Yang Hao, Luo Qin and Zhang Xueqi with him this time, and they were very low-key throughout the trip.

A day later, Du Shaojie and his daughter returned to Beijing.

"Boss, [Xichuan Restaurant] and [Kawakami Family] have temporarily formed a delicate balance. [Xichuan Restaurant]'s performance continues to recover, and the monthly profit has returned to the level of tens of millions of yuan. The total profit last month was 13.6 million yuan.

[Kawakami Family] is the same, and the other party's performance is also recovering. There is also good news here. The profitability of several companies we acquired is very strong, and I believe it will be better in the future."

Wu Chenggang was waiting in Beijing in advance, and reported the recent situation to Du Shaojie as soon as they met.

Du Shaojie nodded and said nothing more.

[Xichuan Restaurant] and [Kawakami Family] seem to have achieved a win-win situation, but behind this is the collapse of countless small and medium-sized Sichuan restaurants.

Of course, he was just a little emotional and would not feel guilty. This is the law of the market. The collision of the two giants will definitely hurt many peers.

The threshold for catering is very low, but the competition is also fierce. It is normal to make money or go bankrupt.

"Well, has the other party made any big moves recently?"

Du Shaojie asked, putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind.

"No!"

Wu Chenggang felt that the fight between the two catering giants was coming to an end, and there would be open and secret fights between the two sides in the future, which might last for decades or even hundreds of years.

Du Shaojie checked the stock price of [Kawakami Family] and it is still running at a high level. Even the funds that participated in the additional issuance at the beginning have doubled according to the market value.

This is obviously abnormal. A catering company, even if it has good performance and an extended industrial chain, its stock price should not be so outrageous.

He asked Wang Yongli and others to continue to keep an eye on [Kawakami Family], and after he returned to Guangzhou, he would continue to study cooking with one mind. He is now only one step away from the [Ultimate Gift Pack], and he really wants to know what is in the gift pack.

After receiving the [Ultimate Gift Pack], he also wants to see what surprising changes the system will have.

Time flies.

When his daughter entered the university, Du Shaojie and Qi Yan both put one thing to rest. Whether their daughter trains in [Beichen Education] or [Bailian Catering] after graduation, she no longer has to worry about her life.

Taking advantage of the National Day, Du Shaojie, Qi Yan and Wang Yuxiu returned to Xijiang again.

Qi Yan invested in a large vocational education institution in the local area on behalf of [Beichen Education Group], and Du Shaojie invested in the [Alkin Big Tail Sheep] breeding base.

At this time, the two have basically reached the peak of their lives. Even if they lie at home in the future, they will have huge wealth every day.

Qi Yan's parents are also in Xijiang. Since their granddaughter started living in the school, they rarely go to Beijing and are still willing to stay in the familiar northwestern city.

"Yanzi, we have lived here for several months, and even our daughter complains that she can't see you and me when she comes home. How long do you plan to stay here? If it doesn't work out, I will go back to Beijing first."

Du Shaojie finally convinced Wang Yuxiu and planned to go to Beijing in the next two days.

He didn't know what Qi Yan was thinking. Maybe she wanted to spend more time with her parents, or maybe she encountered troubles and wanted to hide away outside. No matter what the other party thought, he would not say anything.

"You can go back first. I want to stay with my parents for a few more days."

Qi Yan was obviously worried, but she didn't seem to want to bring up this topic.

"What happened at home? Can't you tell me?"

Du Shaojie guessed that something happened at Qi Yan's home. The more the other party didn't say it, the more anxious he

became. Finally, he couldn't help but complain.

At this point, Qi Yan had to tell everything about her family. If she didn't say it, it would probably affect the relationship between the two.

"It's nothing to tell you, but I'm afraid you'll get bored. Something happened in my brother's family. My brother got married late, and his sister-in-law is 10 years younger than him. Now they're getting a divorce."

When Du Shaojie heard that it was Qi Yan's brother's family affairs, he understood why the other party didn't want to talk about it just now.

Her brother's divorce was very ugly, mainly because of her sister-in-law. Qi Yan really didn't want Du Shaojie to know about such a mess.

It's nothing else, just a little embarrassing.

"Yeah, I know."

Du Shaojie nodded, not intending to get involved in his brother-in-law's family affairs.

The next day.

Du Shaojie and his group went to Beijing, while Wang Yuxiu returned to Yangcheng.

After arriving in Beijing, he went to Beijing University to visit his daughter as soon as possible.

When the father and daughter sat face to face, he knew that he had been fooled by his daughter. His daughter looked very good, and her skin was even better than when she was in high school.

It can be seen that this child would rather be free and unrestrained by himself, so as not to be criticized by his mother all the time.

"You are new to college life, so adapt yourself. Your mother will stay in Xijiang for a few more days, and I will return to Guangzhou later. You are free!"

Du Shaojie had a meal with his daughter and applied for a supreme consumption card for her at [Shuweixiang Old Hot Pot] and [Xiangweiju]. That is, no matter how much she spends, she doesn't have to pay, and the bill will be recorded on her father.

"Dad, you are so great! Well, it would be better if you could give me a little more money."

Qi Yan was strict, so the daughter had to ask for more money from her father.

Du Shaojie didn't give more, only 10,000 yuan, and specifically stated that he would tell Qi Yan later.

The next day.

Du Shaojie visited the Olympic venues again. The progress of the project was gratifying, and this part would definitely not be a drag at that time.

After that, he rested for a few days and returned to Guangzhou with everyone.

At present, the Sichuan cuisine industry has become accustomed to the status quo of "two guns competing for hegemony". [Xichuan Restaurant] is the undisputed leader, and [Chuan Shang Ren Jia] is only slightly inferior in strength, and no one dares to underestimate it.

A fragile balance is also a balance, and some small and medium-sized Sichuan restaurants began to emerge.

After Du Shaojie came back, he stayed in the training center all day, studying Sichuan fusion dishes with several [Sichuan Cuisine Masters] of the company.

Over the years, [Xichuan Restaurant] has been seeking innovation and change, keeping up with the times and popular trends, so that it can stand firm in the fierce competition.

The dishes on the menu are constantly rotating, and new dishes are also added. (End of this chapter)
