Chapter 655: with translation of chapter title

Initially, Yang Qing helped He Yuzhu first because he had the skills of a chef and could earn money for him.

To say how deep their friendship is, it really doesn't count; speaking more frankly, they even have a grudge.

So Yang Qing won't interfere with him; his coming or going is up to him.

Another reason is that Liu Guangtian married He Yushui; for this little admirer, Yang Qing feels more affection, and consequently treats He Yuzhu a bit better.

Now He Yuzhu wants to do things on his own; Yang Qing feels nothing about it, do as you like, it has nothing to do with him.

Xu Huizhen also came over not long after; since He Yuzhu ultimately belongs to Yang Qing, she wanted to inquire.

Chen Hong hadn't seen Xu Huizhen for a long time; after Ma Shimin left, the whole Pizza Hut returned to her hands.

So she's been busy these past few years; today having free time to come find Yang Qing is also a rare leisure.

Chen Hong took her hand and led her to tour the former courtyard; after Yang Zhangfeng's tidying, the courtyard has changed greatly; although the basic structure hasn't changed much, the functional areas have been completely transformed.

The rear wing rooms became a garage; the central courtyard became a reception and entertainment area; the rear courtyard became a residential area; the study turned into a display room; the Houzhaofang retained only three rooms of Yang Qing's small courtyard, while everything else became a garden, making it the most tranquil and leisurely spot.

Inside the display room were placed some old bicycles, radios, sewing machines, televisions, stoves, newspaper clippings and other antique items, allowing one to get a feel for the era at a glance.

Xu Huizhen looking at them felt a kind of soul-soothing comfort, making people feel at ease and warm.

"Still, you two manage life well; living here is much more comfortable."

"What villas, apartment buildings, large flats—where could you find a life as good as this?"

"Finding tranquility amidst the hustle, it's a great place for retirement."

Chen Hong chuckled, "It's all thanks to our son being capable; back then they turned this place into a wreck, and it was Yang Zhangfeng who brought people to clean up after them and build this nice place for them."

"Don't leave today; we'll have a barbecue in the original small courtyard."

Xu Huizhen gave her a glance.

"Forget it; my old Cai is now in Jingcheng, and me not coming home at night—what's the big deal?"

Chen Hong then remembered that Lao Cai is now the person in charge of Daxia Shunfeng Express.

In this era, handling domestic transport isn't something just anyone can do; all kinds of demons and monsters keep appearing.

The escort guards of Shunfeng Express now all have applied for gun permits.

Thus, they encounter several violent vehicle robbery incidents each year.

Everyone knows that Shunfeng Express's vehicles have a high probability of carrying valuable goods.

Without some skill, it's really hard to survive.

To keep Shunfeng Express running, Lao Cai can be said to have tremendous influence in both the legal and illegal worlds.

(At that time, those in the freight business weren't simple; carrying guns was normal; later, after guns were banned, they commonly kept threaded steel and machetes… eventually these people mostly became logistics tycoons monopolizing regional freight, becoming among the first to get rich in their area.)

(Of course, many also lost everything; back then, if you weren't ruthless, you couldn't stand firm.)

Thus, Lao Cai is also a big figure in Daxia now.

Chen Hong laughed heartily.

"Just use your Lao Cai as a shield; I still don't know what kind of person he is."

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you; when you have time, bring your Lao Cai along to play."

"If you ask me, you two should also learn from Yang Qing and let Monkey Champion and them take over when it's their turn."

Xu Huizhen, upon hearing that, rolled her eyes.

"Pizza Hut is ultimately still the Yang family's property; how could she properly accommodate all her family members inside?"

"And Lao Cai, who also works for your Yang family, what about him?"

"What would it mean if Monkey Champion took over?"

"But it's not impossible; speaking of which, Monkey Champion is also Yang Qing's stepson, though he's just someone Yang Qing raised himself."

"Forget it; she isn't short of money now, and she doesn't want her children to meddle in the Yang family's business."

"So as not to harm harmony later."

"Forget it; I don't want to make things difficult for anyone; let them do whatever they want."

"If you have the ability, take over my position; if not, it's better to hand it to a professional manager."

"I think Yang Qing's collective enterprise model is quite good; such enterprises have internal vitality, will actively promote development, later buy back some shares, incorporate them into the company's collective shares, let the benefits go to employees for them to manage themselves; I'll just take some dividends, as long as I don't starve."

She said this and then laughed.

She and Yang Qing really don't resemble capitalists, because they're too generous.

(Haidilao's model is actually similar; the boss gives up a large share of profits, making employees very responsible.)

(Old Yu is also similar; tightly combining employee and company interests gave rise to our distinctive company.)

(Success might really be that simple—just unite the interests of most employees.)

At this moment, Yang Qing emerged.

"Such an idea wouldn't work abroad; those squids won't allow such enterprises to exist."

"Any company with huge interests will have their tentacles."

"If you don't let them get a finger in, they'll find every way to kill you."

"Don't forget, those people already hold 20% of Pizza Hut's shares."

"From now on, Pizza Hut's business will mainly be overseas."

"Domestically, aside from the fast-food business, try to operate under the name of a new company."

Xu Huizhen then realized they also had a tiger-eyed livestock nearby.

They thought too simply.

"Understood; with you saying that today, He Yuzhu's shares don't need to be purchased under the company's name—otherwise, you come."

Yang Qing shook his head.

"Directly mobilize the employees to make it into the company's collective shares."

"Since Sha Zhu doesn't want it, give it to others."

"I believe many people at the restaurant have long been eyeing He Yuzhu's shares; doing this not only resolves the conflict but also strengthens staff cohesion."

"The restaurant's business is service and chefs; by issuing these dividend shares, we believe we can attract many talented chefs."

"This can exactly make up for the void left by He Yuzhu's departure."

"Xu Huizhen is very satisfied with this plan; Yang Qing always seizes the opportunity to enhance the company's competitiveness."

"Originally, after Sha Zhu left, the company bought back shares; apart from increasing the company's shareholding, nothing else changed."

"Now doing this can directly boost the restaurant's overall strength."

"The advantage of that plan is obvious."

"This trip wasn't in vain."

"This method is indeed good; then I'll listen to you."

"Yang Bai shakes his head."

"\"What do you mean listen to me? That's your idea. \""

"This idea was proposed by Xu Huizhen; it can earn her great prestige, but giving it to him is useless."

"Xu Huizhen instantly understood, chuckling, she stopped talking about work and began to enjoy domestic life."

"The three of them chatted aimlessly in the small courtyard, talking about their past lives."

"It felt like returning to the past……"
