"Does the new governor have any ideas?" Standing in the corner, Li Zitao and Jevic chatted casually.

"White wants to meet you. There was a hint of sarcasm on Jevic's lips: "Our mayor may not know that White and I are playmates who grew up together. ”

"Are you showing off?" Li Zitao said speechlessly, "What a childish feeling. ’

"Charlie, you're moving a lot in California, do you really have any plans to shift?" Jevic digressed.

As soon as White took office, Jevic met with him to discuss the matter.

The overall economy of IL, like the entire United States, is declining severely, and any company that can maintain its forward momentum in the disaster at this time is worth vigorously wooing.

Look at how many jobs Li Zitao's S.H.I.E.L.D. and Bercht have brought to IL, adding up to more than 5,000 people.

Although most of them are Chinese, this does not negate his achievements, especially after Nick's election, the vice president's ruling philosophy is to eliminate racial differences, make American culture more diverse, and create a greater pluralistic civilization.

Whoever dares to deny this point doesn't need Jevic to speak, and Nick will spray him in the Capitol.

More than 5,000 jobs have brought huge consumption to Chicago, and only these politicians know how much political value there is.

Moreover, Li Zitao not only has S.H.I.E.L.D. and Bercht, but also the new Golden Arches Company, in addition to the newly opened McDonald's, another chain brand is being established.

Jevic personally visited the storefronts under construction, which could also bring in new jobs, and roughly estimated that Li Zitao would employ tens of thousands.

If it weren't for the fact that White had just taken office, there were too many facts at hand, and he would have gone to the scene today to have a good chat with Li Zitao.

"Jevic, that's not what we should be thinking about now, it's still far away. Li Zitao did not deny the idea that he wanted to transfer, but he still needed time to consider whether the industry under his name would be fully transferred to the west.

For now, he prefers to have the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Golden Arches in Chicago, which is still the financial center of the United States, even if the city is overtaken by Los Angeles in the future.

With its strategic location, Chicago has an irreplaceable status and significance for other cities.

"Charlie, don't forget your friends here. Jevic said seriously.

"Of course, I will never forget my friends. Li Zitao said with a smile.

At the time of the reception, the principals of each store had quietly left and went to their respective stores to prepare for the opening.

On February 1, 1930, at 10 a.m., the doors of the brand-new McDonald's franchise opened at the same time in the bustling pedestrian areas of IL, the entrances and exits of the main roads.

Firecrackers, gongs and drums, followed by a lion dance team, a large parking lot next to each McDonald's, now completely transformed into a circus.

Fire-breathing performances, iron flowers, and fire rings, one by one, attract passing traffic and crowds, making them stop curiously.

"Welcome to McDonald's, McDonald's opened today, 5% off the whole site, welcome everyone to come and experience. Yan Yan, who was wearing a star-striped banner graphic uniform, stood at the door and shouted joyfully to the people who stopped.

"It looks good, do you want to try it?" The woman poked her head out of a family of three who had just moved to the suburbs with some curiosity.

"Let's go and see, if it costs more than $1, we'll leave. The man was a little reluctant, and he was still skeptical of most Chinese people.

There's always going to be a lot of weird stuff about their food that will be daunting, and men hope they don't see it here.

When they walked into the bright and bright storefront made of glass, looked at the neat dining tables, the star-striped banners hanging everywhere, the smiling staff behind the cash register, and the warm 'welcome' sound, the mood improved.

In this day of suffering, everyone wants to see smiling faces, not numb despair.

The more than 100-square-meter store is like another space that is separated from the world, and people can't help but feel happy.

"Welcome to McDonald's, where you can experience what you feel like at home. The banner on the cash register was printed with large golden letters, which made the corners of the mouth of the family of three naturally rise.

"Oh my God, dear, it's so cheap here. "While the men are looking around, the women have turned their attention to the price list.

The price list hanging in the back row of the cash register reads:

Burger / 15 cents.

Coke/5 cents.

French fries/8 cents.

Free drinking water and dining are provided, and no gratuities are provided.

Don't underestimate the last sentence, the temptation of free drinking water and dining, no tipping, is just as tempting as the price above.

"I, what should I do?" the man, who had never seen such a pattern of food shopping, stepped forward and asked with some restraint.

The décor here is too beautiful, with clean and smooth floors, leather sofa seats, and warm smiles, giving people a sense of high-end dining room déjà vu.

"Sir, you just have to order here, you can pick up your food in 30 seconds, choose where you want to eat, after eating, there is a garbage collection area, you need to put the garbage in the trash can yourself, and the plate can be placed on the table above. ”

Hearing the cashier's words, the man frowned, and it sounded like a hassle to clean up the garbage by himself.

But when he raised his head and saw the other party's bright smile, he couldn't bear to say harsh words.

"Hey, man, can you hurry up?" came a disgruntled urge behind him.

Looking back, the man realized that there was a long queue behind him, and the line had already reached the outside of the store, and more people had joined in.

Turning his head, he found the cashier's smile still unchanged, and his heart was full of satisfaction: "I want 3 burgers, 2 cups of Coke and 1 fries." ”

Bite!

A 'click' typewriter voice rang out from the quirky machine in front of the cashier: "Hello, it's 36.5 cents." ”

"Oh my god, 36.5 cents, that's so cheap, man, please hurry. "People who heard the prices became agitated again, and they were afraid that the food would be sold out quickly.

"Your meal is ready, I wish you a nice meal. As soon as the man took out the money, the food was already on the tray in front of him.

Some hurriedly handed the money to each other, and the man walked away briskly with a plate at the urging of others.

"Do I want 4 burgers, 2 cups of Coke, and 2 fries, all 50% off?" asked the girl who stepped forward in the back.

"Of course, it's 5% off all day today. Seeing that the girl was alone, the cashier asked while preparing the meal, "Do I need to pack it for you?"

"Do I need to pay?" asked the girl.

"No, we offer free grocery bags. Yan Yan took his place, there was no need to shout outside, the line was about to line up on the street.

"Yes, thank you. Seeing Yanyan, who was also a girl, the other party breathed a sigh of relief and quickly handed her the money.

The large paper bag with the Golden Arches logo reads: "McDonald's, a good time for the family." ”

The simple slogan and the golden logo look beautiful, and the paper bag is very sturdy, such a paper bag costs at least 0.2 cents, and here it is provided for free.

"Maybe I can use it as a shopping bag. The girl rolled the top of the paper bag into a handle, pinched it and walked away happily.

"10 burgers, 4 Cokes, I need to pack them too. The man who stepped forward again had already counted the change and put it directly on the table.

In less than 30 seconds, all the meals were ready, and the man left with it in his arms.

Watching the crowd come and go, fresh burgers and colas were bagged and carried away, and the customers in the store talked with their families and happily ate the food, Yan Yan's heart was full of pride; ”

The same thing is happening in various areas of IL at the same time, with a burger with vegetables, butter, bread and meatloaf costing $7.5 today.

What's even more exciting is that they don't need to pay attention to what they wear, they don't need to tip, and they don't have to deal with difficult waiters.

In the United States at this time, eating out is never a pleasant thing, in addition to eating cheap food in some chaotic places, you also have to worry about safety at any time, and wanting to have a dinner party is a luxury for ordinary families.

Their only option is to buy ingredients and cook a simple meal at home for a meal, which is often not cheap.

Now it's different, although there are only simple burgers and cokes, you can chat and laugh freely in the city, you can do what you want, and you don't have to worry about the disdainful gaze and bombardment of the waiter, "It's great, it's great!"

Soon, the McDonald's craze was blowing throughout IL and spreading to other surrounding states, "McDonald's, a good time for family." ”

When Li Zitao saw the news from the newspaper, he himself was already standing in front of the Oscar-star theater, which would set the whole of Hollywood on fire tonight.

Little Norma was left in Chicago by him, and this time he came to Hollywood, he had a lot of 'business' to do.

Well, and it's about children.

The eight major film companies, Warner, Columbia, Raiden Hua, Paramount, MGM, United States, Fox, Universal, etc., have sent manager-level representatives.

Most of Hollywood's well-known independent directors came, Frank Bausage, John Ford, John Cromwell, John Kromwell, John B. M. Starr, Sidney Franklin, Montah Bell, Joseph von Sternberg, Lewis Mileston, Frank Capra, Maveen Leroy, John Farry, Charlie Chen, Charles Victor, Liam Wall.

MGM's George Fitzris, Columbia's John Ford, Raiden Var's Stephen Roport, Paramount's Marion Green, Universal's Christy Cabana, Warner Bros. Howard Hawkes.

These are the pillars of major companies, and each of them is a famous existence.
