Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 352: There is a listed company that will cooperate with us.
[俆] and [Xu] have the same pronunciation and the same translation. From ancient times to modern times, there is only one difference between them.

"At first I thought there was something wrong with this word, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. The person responsible for writing and reviewing this contract was an old employee who had worked in our group for 11 years! He joined the group almost a few years after its establishment. .
In the past 11 years, I have worked hard and never made any omissions. How could I not find such a low-level mistake this time and make such a big mistake? What a huge difference! "

Mr. Luo's hand holding the contract couldn't help but tremble, and his face was full of pain and sorrow.

"Yes, it is an undeniable fact that employees who have been working for more than ten years are loyal and responsible in their work. However," Mr. Luo's senior management retorted in a friendly and ruthless manner: "Do you know who recruited this person in the first place?"

"Who recruited him?" After Mr. Luo repeated the key words in the question, a figure appeared in his mind, and the trembling color in his voice became even worse. He stammered and asked: "Is it possible? Is it difficult? It can’t be”

"Yes, this person was originally recruited by Chairman Yin. In [-], Chairman Yin took the initiative to delegate power and retreat to Fengshou Farm. It was also because of Chairman Yin that Fengshou Farm's autonomy was almost completely independent. No, controlled by the group
In [-], Chairman Yin officially stepped down from the management stage and passed the position to the current person in charge, Peng Yi. Historical issues!They are all issues left over from history! "

"So." After hearing this, Mr. Luo finally pieced together the story of the whole thing, and asked in surprise: "So, this is a scheme that Peng Yi and the lawyer worked together? Behind this scheme, there is also that Yin The figure of the chairman?”

"Yes!" Mr. Luo nodded.

"Then" Mr. Luo lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked in a rather urgent tone: "This should be considered a forged contract, right? Can we?"

"Forged contract. Ha!" Before Mr. Luo could finish speaking, his friend chuckled. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to rub his swollen temples and said:

"This contract was printed with the same batch of ink and paper, and the video of the signing process is also owned by both parties. The video alone can prove that this is a contract that we unanimously agreed to and signed voluntarily. Do you think it can constitute a demand for prosecution? Where is the place?"

"That's right. I was so sick that I went to the doctor!" After hearing what his friend said, Mr. Luo immediately recovered from his anxiety and sighed:

"Even if there is really evidence, we can't go to court to sue Harvest Farm. Our group's stock price has risen not long ago due to its entry into real estate. If there is discord within the group now, the newly increased stock price will definitely It will fall down”

"Yes, this time we came up short. We can only knock out our teeth and swallow the result." The friend also sighed unwillingly.

"No, I really can't swallow this!" Mr. Luo has been in office for many years and has seen a lot. He immediately caught up with his plans and gritted his teeth and said: "Chairman Yin is protecting Fengshou Farm and cannot move, but this Xu The relationship between Catering and Harvest Farm is just a cooperative relationship with no support.”

"Are you trying to vent your anger on Xu's Catering?"

"How can you say it's just to vent your anger?" Mr. Luo chuckled softly: "It's just killing the chicken to show the monkey."

"I heard that Xu's Catering has expanded to [-] cities in Hai Duong Province at once, and it has developed quite rapidly." After hearing this, the friend pointed out: "It has grown so fast, and it must have taken away the business of many companies."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, both seeing a calculating look in each other's eyes.

The abandoned paper mill located on the edge of the tidal flat in the southeast corner of Qianhai Town has officially become the production base of Xu's Catering in Qianhai Town after the opening ceremony. The production of Xu's Fast Food and Xu's Braised Food brands has moved forward from the headquarters. Moved to the factory.

Automatic wok, commercial wok, noodle soup bucket, steaming and stew all-in-one machine
Thanks to the efforts of the moving company's masters, the kitchen equipment that was full of kitchen equipment was moved out of each room on the first floor of Xu's Catering Headquarters one by one, restoring its original empty appearance. It does not look like it used to be a kitchen at all.
Although Zhou Qi had predicted this situation when his boss leased the abandoned paper mill and started repairing it, he still found it a bit difficult to accept when his prediction came true.

"Master Zhou, are you still in the room? Come out and get in the car, ready to go to the factory!"

"Hey, okay! Here we come!" Hearing the call, Zhou Qi reluctantly glanced around the kitchen. When he walked out of the room, he couldn't help but take out his phone and take a photo, and then hurriedly sat in the van. Along with everyone, they set off to the factory in Qianhai Town.

"I heard that the factory there is very large and has a lot of large-scale machinery and equipment installed. It will save us more trouble in the future!"

"That's not all. The factory over there also has dormitories, canteens and basketball courts. We can just abandon the house in the city and move it to the factory. We can save a lot of money!"

"But the surrounding area is either farmland or the sea, so there is no place to relax."

"You are stupid. The hot spring on the sea is already under development. When the hot spring is completed, there will be more or less entertainment facilities."

"."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Zhou Qi felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart. He felt that the air in the car was slowly becoming thinner. Even if he breathed heavily, he still couldn't feel the existence of air and felt like suffocation. It's getting stronger and stronger.
Just when Zhou Qi felt that he was about to suffocate, a big hand stretched out from in front of his eyes. With a "swish" sound, fresh air poured into the car, followed the breath and entered the trachea, and the shriveled lungs filled up. Got up.
"Master Zhou, you must be motion sick. I feel like you don't look good from the moment you get in the car." Liu Daxi took out an orange from his arms like a magic trick and stuffed it into Zhou Qi's hand without any explanation. He said with a smile: " You peel the orange and smell the orange peel, it’s earthy, it’s very useful.”

“Thank you Master Liu”

Zhou Qi knew that his feeling of suffocation was not due to motion sickness, but he had no intention of expressing his inner thoughts to the public. After thanking him, he directly reached out to take the orange and peeled it open. The sweet and sour fragrance of the orange filled the carriage. Come on.
I don't know whether it was because his thoughts were interrupted by Liu Daxi's action, or whether the fragrance of oranges really had an effect. The suffocating feeling in his throat slowly subsided, and his mind returned to clarity.
Liu Da was pleased to see that Zhou Qi's expression returned to normal and then withdrew his gaze. He looked at the flowers, plants and trees passing quickly outside the window. When the breeze blew against his face, an inaudible sigh sounded and then disappeared.

Some people cannot be kept after all.
Get off the vehicle, install and debug handling equipment, become familiar with the factory layout, and learn to operate new machinery and equipment.
Looking at the people celebrating and cheering, Zhou Qi slowed down and soon sat at the back of the queue from the front, becoming the last person standing far away at the end of the queue.
"Master Zhou, why do you look so listless?"

"Ah" Zhou Qi was startled by the sudden voice. He subconsciously looked towards the place where the voice came from, and saw Xu An standing behind him. "What's the matter? I'm worried." Xu An stepped forward, put his arm around Zhou Qi's shoulders, and said casually: "Would you like to talk to me about your troubles? Maybe I can help you solve the problem?"

Although Zhou Qi had thought about resigning, he had not yet made up his mind. He wanted to be vague when he heard Xu An's words, but when the words of evasion came to his lips, he turned around and said the true thoughts in his heart:

"Some time ago, Master Liu may have noticed my intention to resign, so he taught me his skills as an inducement to stay.
Master Liu's craftsmanship is very good, really very good, but after learning such a good craftsmanship, I still face the cold machine every day, which has no use whatsoever, which makes me more and more unacceptable.
Boss, I plan to leave Xu's Catering until the end of this month. After I leave, I plan to open a small restaurant in another city."

While thinking about the future, Zhou Qi's eyes were slightly out of focus and sparkling at the same time, and his whole person exuded a glimmer of hope.

Looking at the expression on Zhou Qi's face, Xu An couldn't help but feel a little emotional. After going around in circles for so long, he never expected that Zhou Qi would still want to open a restaurant in this life and use his skills to entertain guests.

Perhaps, this is fate!
In fact, Xu An had expected this. Although he was not often in the store, all the employees in the store were his eyes and ears. Zhou Qi's often distracted and unhappy appearance at work had long been visible to everyone. , before Liu Daxi talked to Zhou Qi, no less than three people had already told Xu An about this.

"Your skills are indeed buried in Xu's Fast Food." Xu An nodded in agreement with Zhou Qi's words, smiled and patted his shoulder, saying: "But before you make a formal decision, please follow me first. Go and see a place, and if you still decide to leave after seeing it, I won’t force you to stay.”

Zhou Qi was confused when Xu An's words were confused. Although he didn't know exactly where Xu An wanted to take him, he had worked with him for so long and knew that Xu An was not the type to make things difficult for others. He nodded in agreement and followed Xu An into the factory.

After walking through the open factory area where huge equipment was installed, and walking around dozens of rooms for more than five minutes, Xu Ancai finally stopped in front of a room, raised his head and motioned Zhou Qi with his chin to look at the door of the room. .

Zhou Qi followed Xu An's instructions and looked at the rose gold stainless steel edged door number on the door. The name of the room was imprinted on the door plate - Ocean Hot Spring Hotel Food Research and Development Center.

"Boss, this is..." After swallowing with difficulty, Zhou Qi turned to look at Xu An, with a hint of longing in his eyes.

"You must have heard that I contracted the hot spring hole that appeared in the Xujiacun tidal flat. The construction has now started and the first phase of construction is expected to be completed before the year.
In addition to the sea hot spring and the swimming pool in the sea, the first phase of construction also includes a 360-square-meter sea view restaurant. I wonder if Master Zhou is interested in the position of chef of this sea view restaurant? "

"Well." Zhou Qi lowered his head and thought for a long time, then asked in a hoarse voice, full of confusion in his words: "Master Liu, he has worked in a star hotel. He is more skilled and experienced than me. Why are you looking for a seasoned boss?" Shall I be the chef?"

"Why?" Xu An didn't show off, and said directly and clearly: "Master Liu recommended you, but it's not only because of Master Liu's recommendation, but more importantly, your cooking skills are enough to be a chef in a restaurant. , this is the real reason”

Say it, Xu An asked again: "If you are interested in this position, you can come here directly from next week to start developing dishes, mainly Haishi's special dishes. I hope that more of the ingredients will be used." Seafood farmed on the tidal flats of Xujia Village.”

"Sea Hot Spring Hotel?" Zhou Qi looked at the door number and murmured the name of the room in a low voice. The moment the words fell, the hesitation on his face disappeared, replaced by perseverance and determination. He did not ask about the salary after the position adjustment. He nodded heavily towards Xu An and said: "I am very interested in this position!"

"How is the situation of group meals in major prefecture-level cities in Haiyang City recently? Has it stabilized?"

"No. Although Xu's Catering is only a new company established less than half a year ago, its core competitiveness is very strong, especially in Haishi. Relying on local policies, it has received orders for the supply of nearly [-] box lunches. The basic market is very good. firm.
Except for Kaihai City, most of the companies that cooperate with Xu's Catering in other cities are, well... they seem to have some special reasons, and they all refuse to let go.
Fourteen middle schools in Zhuzhou City, three large chain medical institutions in Jiangyuan City, five factories in Huijiang City, etc. Every time they visit, no matter what conditions are offered, they will politely refuse, and some even directly refuse. Behind closed doors."

Hey----

The man sitting at the head of the conference room sighed cryptically when he heard the words. Just when he was about to say something, the door of the conference room was suddenly knocked awake. After the door creaked open, what appeared in everyone's eyes was the company. The big boss!

"Boss!" Everyone stood up neatly to greet them. The man at the head immediately pushed his things to the side and quietly gave up his seat.

"Don't be so nervous. I just came over to see how everyone was discussing. Have you reached a conclusion?" The last sentence was asked to the man who just sat in the first place.

"Not yet." The man who just sat in the first place shook his head slightly and said: "Xu's Restaurant has developed too fast. If we spend money to acquire it, we will have to spend at least hundreds of millions of dollars. This is very important to us. For the company, the burden is a bit too heavy.
Moreover, companies that can reach this scale from scratch and are still expanding rapidly will basically not accept acquisitions."

"You have checked the assets of Xu's Catering. Have you checked the debt owed by Xu's Catering to the bank?" the big boss reminded.

"debt?"

"Yes, the boss of Xu's Catering has no background, nor does he have any external financing or investors.
Funds for the company's development and expansion are basically borrowed with guarantees from financing companies. The headquarters of Xu's Catering has been mortgaged, and the newly purchased land has also been mortgaged.
Calculated based on the expansion speed of Xu's Catering, it is estimated that the liquidity available on their books does not exceed 10 yuan."

After the big boss's detailed narration, the correct answer has appeared in everyone's mind.

They have no ability to prevent Xu's Catering from applying for a loan in a normal and compliant manner. However, relying on the personal connections of their company for many years, they are stuck and the loan that could have been applied for in half a month has been delayed to Three months or even half a year later, there is still no problem!

On the one hand, they are delaying loan applications, on the other hand, they are cooperating with other group meal companies to squeeze their living space, and finally they are poaching their employees.
After such a combination of punches, even if Xu's Catering survives, he will become crippled.
Cough——cough cough————

The big boss coughed twice, attracting everyone's attention to himself, and then said leisurely: "In addition, there is a listed company in Haiyang Province that will cooperate with us to attack Xu's Catering!"

Although the big boss did not explicitly name the listed company, after excluding those unrelated listed companies such as energy storage, energy conservation, clothing, graphite, paper making, subway, etc., there are only four listed companies related to catering.
Among the four listed catering companies, two are located in Haishi, and one of them is in the aquatic business. The answer is self-evident.
