Time flies.
With the efforts of Su Dapeng, Meng Gang and others, the first Bailian [Northwest Noodle House] opened in Beijing.
In the [Northwest Noodle House] project, Su Dapeng owns 20% of the shares, and Bailian Catering Management Company owns 80% of the shares.
Huang Tingting carefully selected some of the former employees of the snack bar and went to Beijing together.
Su Dapeng rented a house near the store so that he could take care of his pregnant wife.
He temporarily took over as the manager of the [Northwest Noodle House] Beijing store, and the person in charge of the kitchen was Liang Yanzhang who came from Xijiang.
This area is a famous business district in Beijing, with a large flow of people.
The business was very good at the beginning of the opening. Someone once said that selling big bowls of tea in this area can become a "ten thousand yuan household". The location is good, and the rent must be high, but generally speaking it is still very cost-effective.
Du Shaojie went to Beijing before the opening, accompanied Qi Yan for a few days, and then the two went to Chengdu together.
Unconsciously, it was the annual winter vacation again. Qi Yan was going to go home for the New Year. Before that, she planned to visit Chengdu and Shancheng.
In just one week, the two of them traveled around Sichuan Province. Although they were just a quick tour, they also saw different landscapes and rich and diverse food.
"It's a bit cold in this season. You're not used to it, right?"
Du Shaojie felt that Qi Yan's mental state was not very good, so he ended the trip and returned to Chengdu.
"Yes, I'm used to dry and cold weather, and it's a bit unbearable for this wet and cold weather. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, I should go, Shaojie, how about you?"
"I went back before, and I'll talk about it before the New Year."
The two have been apart for so many years. Qi Yan wanted to ask him to go back together, but she swallowed the words back.
Du Shaojie noticed the change in his mood, but something happened in Yangcheng suddenly, so he couldn't go with her.
Qi Yan returned to her hometown alone in a depressed mood, and Du Shaojie went directly to Yangcheng.
"Why is there a problem with this batch of ingredients?"
Du Shaojie got off the plane and rushed to Xichuan Restaurant without stopping.
When he was in Chengdu before, he received a call from Meng Gang, saying that there was a problem with a batch of fresh meat in Yangcheng Store. Although it did not cause any impact, the nature was very serious.
"It's like this, we have always been getting goods from a fixed supplier, and there has never been a problem. But after purchasing this batch of fresh meat, Master Liao felt something was wrong, and went back to check, and the quality of the ingredients was not up to standard."
Meng Gang and the company's senior management, as well as Liang Meiqin, Liao Yongxin and others were all there, and Du Shaojie was rarely angry.
The ingredients, seasonings, spices, etc. that can be preserved for a long time in each store are purchased by the company and allocated separately. However, fresh ingredients are purchased locally by each store, and the procurement work is the responsibility of personnel dispatched by the company's procurement department.
It was precisely this link that had problems.
Fortunately, there is a verification mechanism within the store. After the fresh meat was purchased, Liao Yongxin personally checked it and discovered the problem in time before it flowed to the table.
"Where's the purchaser? Call him in."
Du Shaojie had the purchaser called in. The purchaser looked pale, obviously realizing that he had made a big mistake.
According to him, because they were long-term suppliers and the other party's procedures were complete, he did not check carefully, which led to this accident.
"Mr. Meng, call the police, and then prepare to sue this supplier and cancel the other party's cooperation qualification."
Du Shaojie did not quite believe what the purchaser said. It would be better to leave this matter to the police.
Regarding food safety, taking the initiative to call the police at least shows an attitude, and can also eliminate some adverse effects in the subsequent handling.
As for this batch of problematic meat, it will be temporarily sealed and destroyed after the matter is handled.
"Mr. Du, our work is not in place, please punish us."
"Mr. Du, I also request punishment."
Meng Gang and Liang Meiqin both took the initiative to stand up and take responsibility, without shirking each other.
"This matter has nothing to do with the store. The purchaser belongs to the company's purchasing department. President Meng, the person in charge of the purchasing department, and relevant personnel must bear responsibility. The specific punishment measures will be discussed after the matter is investigated clearly."
Accountability is necessary. He instructed Meng Gang to improve the purchasing supervision system and actively cooperate with the investigation of relevant parties.
Meng Gang immediately arranged for someone to call the police. The relevant parties attached great importance to it and immediately detained the purchaser and the relevant personnel of the supplier and took them back to assist in the investigation.
After the relevant evidence was fixed, Du Shaojie arranged for someone to immediately destroy the batch of problematic meat.
The loss of money is secondary. If this thing really flows to the dining table, once something goes wrong, the hard-built [Xichuan Restaurant] brand will be ruined.
The final investigation concluded that the supplier forgot his principles for the sake of profit and the purchaser was careless, which caused this accident.
The supplier must not only compensate [Xichuan Restaurant] for its losses, but the person responsible must also bear criminal responsibility. As for the purchaser, he can only be fired. After all, no evidence of the other party's subjective intent was found.
"Boss Meng, I always feel that something is wrong with this matter. There are too many coincidences, which makes it seem abnormal."
Meng Gang and others were deducted from their performance for one month, and the purchasing manager was dismissed.
Since Liao Yongxin discovered the problem in time, he was rewarded handsomely.
On the surface, the matter was over, but Du Shaojie always felt that there might be something else behind this matter.
"I think so too, but Boss Du, we don't have any evidence, and the police have already reached a conclusion."
Meng Gang has been running between Shenzhen and Guangzhou during this period. The supplier returned the payment but refused to compensate for other losses.
The company has officially sued the supplier, and the purpose is to deter other partners from having any bad intentions.
"You start from the source of this batch of problematic meat. Once you find any clues, don't make it public. I will handle it."
Du Shaojie was unwilling to give up. He must find out the truth.
Meng Gang nodded and immediately arranged for someone to investigate the matter.
Du Shaojie took a shower and suppressed his anger a little. He didn't say it in front of Meng Gang just now. He had a hunch that this matter should be related to Boss Zhang.
Boss Zhang is a very shady person, and all kinds of despicable means are hard to guard against.
Could it be him?
In the evening.
Du Shaojie invited Lin Zhiyuan and his two friends to dinner at [Xichuan Restaurant].
These two people had helped in the "Feng Bin" case before, and after a few visits, everyone became friends.
"That's the thing. I suspect that Zhang Yufa is the mastermind behind the whole thing, but I have no evidence, and the case has been closed."
After three rounds of drinks, Du Shaojie talked about the crisis he had just gone through, and named Zhang Yufa's boss.
Hearing that someone had tampered with the ingredients, Lin Zhiyuan and others were very angry, after all, this matter concerns the health of many people.
"My analysis is that the supplier is definitely greedy for profit. If he was instructed by someone, he might have confessed long ago. There is a possibility that the mastermind deliberately sent cheap and low-quality meat to the supplier.
In addition, the supplier confessed that all the problematic meat was sold to you, which is interesting. Could it be that the quantity of this batch of problematic meat was tailored according to your purchase volume?"
After all, Lin Zhiyuan's two friends who were born in criminal investigation opened Du Shaojie's mind.
After listening, Du Shaojie was silent for a long time.
It seems that the store's purchaser also has problems. Maybe he was bribed by someone, and when there was a problem, he blamed it on negligence.
The supplier is the scapegoat chosen by the mastermind.
"Old Jiao, can you help Mr. Du check the source of the problematic meat? If you find the source, maybe we can solve the case."
Lin Zhiyuan added, and the "old criminal detective" nodded silently.
Du Shaojie looked at Lin Zhiyuan gratefully. His assistance was just right, and he didn't even have to speak up. The matter was done.
A few days later.
Du Shaojie got the news that the police had found the source of the problematic meat and arrested 12 suspects.
According to two of them, they found the supplier because someone instructed them to do so. As for who that person was, only their boss knew.
Unfortunately, the boss refused to admit it, and the police didn't know the name of that person until the end.
"Mr. Du, the buyer we fired is missing. He should have left Yangcheng."
Things became clearer and clearer. The truth of the matter was that someone wanted to harm [Xichuan Restaurant].
But the source refused to identify the mastermind, and the buyer disappeared again, so the investigation naturally could not proceed.
But Du Shaojie was more convinced that it was Zhang Yufa who did it, and the other party played a key role in the whole thing.
The purchaser must have been bribed by him, but now there is no trace of him, and the boss at the source cannot testify, so the matter can only come to an end temporarily.
"This guy is simply a dog-skin plaster, once you stick to it, you can't get rid of it."
Du Shaojie and Meng Gang discussed and decided to launch a wave of recharge promotions before the holiday.
This is an open counterattack. To be honest, he is not good at those conspiracies, but there will always be a day to deal with Zhang Yufa.
The consequence of this incident is that Meng Gang has implemented a more strict supplier qualification assessment system. At the same time, internal supervision has been strengthened to prevent people with ulterior motives from taking advantage of it.
After a week, the recharge promotion ended smoothly.
The turnover of each store had a total explosion before the holiday, but [Shuxianglou] was a little overwhelmed.
[Xichuan Restaurant] strictly controls the ingredients and destroys the problematic ingredients in time, which has won the reputation of customers. This should be regarded as Zhang Yufa shooting himself in the foot. It is the first time that he has shown a declining trend in the competition between the two strong teams.
Du Shaojie finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he would not let Zhang Yufa off so easily. It depended on whether the other party would give him a chance.
The Spring Festival was approaching.
Du Shaojie went to Hong Kong for a big shopping trip and bought a set of clothes, a set of cosmetics and a handbag for each of his two sisters, Liang Meiqin and Qi Yan. He
did not buy these for Wang Yuxiu, but bought some gold jewelry and some tonics.
He still did not see Wang Liwen in Hong Kong this time, and she asked for leave in advance to go home to visit her relatives.
It happened that there were more exchange points recently, and Du Shaojie planned to exchange some US dollars in Hong Kong before going back. (End of this chapter)
