Chapter 0111: Subway Opens (Subscription 18/20)
"Ah~ Garbo, it's Garbo here. When the car stopped steadily in front of Building A of the Shuanglian Building, the fans who received the news let out a screeching scream.
Bang bang bang
The reporters kept adjusting the focus, their fingers pressing the shutter like a jumping butterfly, and they were grateful for the brand new rix 120 dual-lens reflex camera in their hands.
If it were an old-fashioned camera, by the time the focus was complete, Garbo would have disappeared into the building.
As long as you have heard the name Garbo in the United States, who doesn't know that there are two things she hates the most, one is interviewing and the other is shooting.
If it weren't Golden Arches who publicized the news this time, and his boss wasn't Charlie Lee, this Chinese who had an affair with Garbo, I'm afraid no one would believe it was true.
They thought Garbo would leave quickly after getting out of the car, but this time it was very unexpected.
Garbo actually cooperated to stand in front of the car for reporters to take pictures, and at this moment, Li Zitao's arm in his pocket only sank, and it turned out that Garbo was holding his arm.
"Garbo, Garbo look here......"
"Look, Garbo is holding his arm, damn it, I'm going crazy with jealousy. ”
"Mr. Li, are you in love with Garbo......?
"My day, this is big news......"
The reporters were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and if it weren't for the bodyguards standing around the fence, they would have rushed up and put their cameras on their faces.
She not only took the initiative to hold Li Zitao's arm, but also rarely cooperated with the shooting, which is no less than a miracle for the reporters who know her.
"She raised the corners of her mouth, she smiled, Garbo smiled~~" Someone exclaimed.
"My God, she smiled at me...... Goddess, I'm willing to die for you......"
"Look, she's smiling at Lee, oh...... No, that's not true. ”
"Garbo, don't leave us. ”
"Garbo, you are a treasure that belongs to the whole of America, I don't agree with this marriage......"
"Garbo, Garbo don't go, don't go......"
Compared to the excitement of the reporters, the fans have already fainted in tears.
What's going on with this sudden heart plug?
Lan is so thin that she is about to suffocate her despair!
Although I know that it is impossible to get a goddess in reality, what if God is blind?
Now it seems that God is not blind enough, and the goddesses are really big guys.
"Smack~"
Heartbroken.
......
Dreams shattered.
......
Tired and not loved.
......
"It's time to go in. After about 1 minute of stay, Li Zitao took Garbo into the building first, leaving Hepburn outside to deal with reporters.
In order to cooperate with the performance, the bodyguards used a fence to form a passage that was shoulder-width apart for three people, and went straight to Hepburn.
"Looks like she likes it. Li Zitao, who entered the building, looked back and smiled.
"Everyone wants to be chased by the gaze, especially women. Garbo said indifferently.
"But you're an exception. With his mouth close to her ear, Li Zitao's tongue quickly added to her earlobe, teasing: "That's why you are so charming." ”
Garbo's body trembled slightly, and then he regained his composure in an instant, his eyes forced him sideways, and he shook off his arms and walked in.
"Huh. A wicked smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and Li Zitao quickened his pace to catch up.
When the two appeared in the banquet hall, Garbo's hand rested on the crook of his arm, though he forced it down.
"Damn, I thought you were lost!" Lawrence hurried to meet you.
After complaining, when he faced Garbo, he immediately turned into a smile: "Miss Garbo, I'm Lawrence, Charlie's friend, and it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"Thank you. With a light touch of his fingers, Garbo wrapped his hands around Li Zitao's arms, showing indifference from thousands of miles away.
Although it was a little embarrassing, Lawrence was not surprised, yes, this is Garbo.
"It's time for you to take the stage. Hearing that the host was introducing, Li Zitao reminded.
"See you later. Lawrence smiled politely and turned to walk to the stage, if there was no Garbo there, the daily exchange would have been played out again as scheduled.
"Would you like to have a drink?" Seeing that everyone was looking at the stage, Li Zitao took Garbo to the corner.
Today he is in charge of making soy sauce, Lawrence is the main character, and at the moment, Rockefeller is more attractive than him.
"Gin. Garbo let go of the hands that were wrapped around the crooks of his arms.
"Two glasses of gin. Li Zitao said to the waiter.
"Hey, Charlie, why are you hiding here alone. Jevic, who came out of nowhere, came over.
"Jevic, there's a beautiful lady here. Li Zitao let go of Garbo, who was blocked, and said.
"I'm sorry. Jevic straightened up, his head bowed, and said, "Looks like I need a pair of glasses." ”
"You should go to the ophthalmologist, preferably with two new eyeballs. Li Zitao quipped.
"Hah, you bastard. Jevic feigned annoyance and pressed his fist against his chest.
"I wanted to be quieter. After raising a glass with Jevic, Garbo said softly.
"Take Miss Garbo to the parlor. Li Zitao asked the waiter to take her aside.
"What a beautiful person. Jevic looked at him playfully and said, "Charlie, what the newspaper says can't be true, right?"
Li Zitao knew which news he was referring to, speculation about his big move in Hollywood, and it was to sleep stars.
"Maybe it's because I have too much money, who knows!" Li Zitao said with a noncommittal smile.
"Haha, Charlie, you know what? You're so cute...... Jevic let out a hearty laugh as he raised his glass and drank it down.
"White is over there, let's talk?" Jevic said, pointing to the other corner.
"Good. Li Zitao had a good sense of the new governor and followed him to the opposite corner.
"White, look who's coming. Before he could get closer, Jevic let go of his voice.
"Jevic, Charlie, haha......" White put down his glass and spread his hands enthusiastically.
Li Zitao also adapted to this kind of hug ceremony, in fact, it feels pretty good, which makes people have the illusion of instant closeness.
The routine is quite deep......
"What are you talking about?" Seeing that the hot girl who had a hot fight with White just now was a little restrained, Li Zitao took the initiative to open the topic.
"We're talking about McDonald's, and it's crazy. White laughed.
"That's right, now every time I go out of town, whenever I see the golden arches, my hands spin the steering wheel uncontrollably until I stop in front of the paydesk. ”
Jevic made a strange directional movement, his hands kept struggling, but he seemed to be controlled by an invisible big hand to turn to the left.
"So, are the two of you interested in joining in?" "Only when you have money to earn together can you have more friends, Li Zitao is a person who likes to make friends.
"When that's over, we'll have a good talk. Walter smiled lightly and diverted the subject.
"Charlie, I heard that you are buying an aircraft factory, why do you have to put it in California?" Jevic glanced at White quietly, picking out the purpose of today's visit.
If it weren't for the news, would a governor and a senator really come to Subway with nothing to do every day?
"California's industrial development prospects are broader, and although the current foundation is not as good as Chicago's, Los Angeles still lacks real pillar industries, which is the judgment made by the think tank. ”
Both are members of the 22 Club and are certainly no strangers to think tanks.
Hearing Li Zitao throw the pot on his subordinates, White and Jevic were a little out of words.
It doesn't matter whose idea it is, Li Zitao's attitude is the key.
Since he threw the pot on the think tank, it also means that he has no idea of changing his decision, which makes them inevitably a little disappointed.
Whether it is an aircraft factory, or Jeep and Shunfeng, which think tanks are approaching, the automotive industry that is ready to enter is an industry with great potential and can become a pillar of the economy.
Detroit, Michigan, is a thriving automobile city, and car manufacturers, large and small, have brought glory to the city.
Aircraft is a new industry, but because of this, its prospects are more promising.
Since ancient times, human beings have been full of yearning and awe for the sky, and the birth of airplanes has satisfied mankind's yearning for the sky and endless demand.
Fast, convenient and more efficient means of transportation.
It includes a series of important positions such as travel, transportation, and strategy.
If it were one of the two, White would prefer to keep the aircraft factory at IL.
It's a pity that Li Zitao gave him zero choice.
"White, you see, I'm a businessman. "For the disappointment of White and Jevic, Li Zitao can only say, 'I'm sorry. ’
Industrial development requires software and hardware support from all aspects, talent reserves, and Li Zitao cannot choose to be complacent in order to please them.
IL's development policy is more inclined to agriculture, coupled with the existence of the Chicago consortium, these two points alone determine that Li Zitao will not focus on this place in the future.
There are no better options everywhere, so why should he stay in Chicago and McCormie, Wood and other families, and bother to fight to the death?
However, after receiving Li Zitao's promise that the Golden Arches headquarters would stay in Chicago for a long time, White and Jevic breathed a sigh of relief.
May 1, 10 a.m.
Another fast food brand under Golden Arches, Subway, officially opened.
With the successful precedent of McDonald's, Subway's opening is even more popular.
In fact, as early as before the opening, some businessmen who were brushed off in the preliminary examination of McDonald's turned their attention to it.
The franchise fee of 4,000 US dollars is different from the main direction of McDonald's, and the simpler and faster walk-and-go management style is eye-catching.
Subway doesn't offer dining, and its stores are all located near major companies, schools, and shopping malls, rather than near the neighborhood like McDonald's.
Each store is about 400 square feet in size, and the rental fee per foot is $50 per year.
This price is higher than that of a drive-in restaurant, but at the same time, it sells at a higher price and makes more profits.
Subway's drinks include coffee and tea, which cost slightly more than Coke at 8 cents per cup.
The hot dog and burrito ham is made with chicken mixed with beef broth and spices, and the burrito can be served with fresh sturgeon fillet and a delicious salad dressing.
Such a hot dog or wrap costs $25 per serving.
If you need sturgeon fillet, add another 2 cents.
If McDonald's is defined as ordinary people and middle-class families.
Subway's starting point is the middle class, with the upper class plus wealthy families.
They are sold to the middle and upper echelons of the company, the 'elite' whose pockets are not as rich as they once were, but who still want to maintain a decent life. ’
"Eat healthy and energize every day. That's Subway's slogan.
