Chapter 0098 - Don't Join, Die for You to See (Ask for Subscription 5/20)
The two of them were talking about the shortcomings of the family, Li Zitao's eyes swept over Jonathan, and suddenly changed the conversation and said, "By the way, does the Anliang Guild need beef?"
Second Master Mei was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, canteens, butcher shops, and fast food are all inseparable." ”
"Do we have compatriots who open farms?" asked Li Zitao casually.
"Yes, yes, it's a little far away, our Anliang's beef is a meat company. Second Master Mei shook his head with some pity.
"That's just right. Li Zitao slapped his finger on the table, "Jonathan, he is preparing a meat processing plant, he just has beef for sale, and the price is absolutely right!"
"Charlie, what are you talking about?" Seeing the two of them staring at him and muttering endlessly, Jonathan always felt a chill floating around under his belly.
"Jonathan, officially introduce to you, this Mr. Mei is the president of the Chinese trade union, the Anliang Guild, and many of my compatriots open restaurants and butcher shops, as well as fast food.
Maybe your beef can be sold to them, and of course, the main thing is the price!"
Li Zitao is not An Liang's person, even if he is An Liang's person, when it comes to financial interests, he is not good at making decisions for others, just acting as an intermediary lobbyist.
McDonald's future consumption of meat, vegetables and other products will definitely be contracted by the ranch under his name, and it would be better if Jonathan and An Liang could reach a cooperation.
"It turned out to be the president of the Anliang Guild, I have heard of you, Mr. Mei. Jonathan smiled as he reached out.
Second Master Mei was polite, and after that, under Li Zitao's translation, the two began to talk about the quality and price of beef.
"For the sake of your compatriots, I can give the lowest price, 65 cents per catty. Jonathan said.
"How about this price?" The simple price Mei Er Ye can still understand, Li Zitao asked directly.
"It's okay, it's 5 cents less than now, but I don't know what the meat quality is, you must know that foreigners are very picky about their mouths, especially my guests here. ”
Hearing Second Master Mei say this, Li Zitao turned his head and opened his mouth and said, "Jonathan, your price is too high, Mei's current purchase price is only 60 cents." ”
"Impossible!" Jonathan immediately retorted, "Unless they don't take care of the shipping, I can guarantee that there is no lower price on the market than mine!"
"Is the current supplier responsible for transportation?" asked Li Zitao.
"Luck, every time I transport it to the door, I just don't help move it upstairs!" Mei Er smiled and nodded at Jonathan.
"They were in charge of the transportation and they were personally moved to the designated location. Li Zitao said with a straight face.
"It's impossible, the cost of a pound of beef is at least 30 cents, and if that's the case, they're losing money!"
Jonathan was adamant, this would be when he looked at Mei Er's smiling face and felt angry, "This damn guy is lying, there is no such good thing on the market."
Finding Jonathan glaring at him, his tone became more and more excited, Second Master Mei was a little depressed, "I said you were cheap, why are you still glaring at me." ”
"Jonathan, although they are my compatriots, you are also my friend, and I will not embarrass you, what do you think?"
Li Zitao pretended to be embarrassed and brewed for a long time, and said: "The price is 55 US dollars per catty, you are responsible for transportation, and they will carry it themselves." ”
"Charlie, I can't make any money at all. Jonathan smiled wryly, and glared at Second Master Mei as he spoke.
55 cents per catty, and he is also responsible for transportation, planing out the slaughter, labor, and thankfully he can earn 3 cents per catty.
"That's 56 cents. Li Zitao held up a finger.
If he still doesn't understand what he means, Jonathan won't be able to double his assets in two years.
It seems that he was given as a favor, but whether to send this favor or not, Jonathan has the final say.
Based on Lee's performance today and what he learned from Roosevelt, Jonathan thought he was a trustworthy and sentimental man.
For such a person, as long as you become friends, he will never let you down.
"I agreed. Jonathan said calmly.
He has never been an indecisive person, rationality and decisiveness are his character, in order to get Li Zitao's friendship, he is willing to achieve this 'small profit' business.
When Second Master Mei heard the price quoted by Li Zitao, their eyes almost fell out.
"This foreigner is stupid, isn't he? With such a low price, can he make money?" Second Master Mei muttered in his heart.
But he also knew that this was what Li Zitao won for them, and he was grateful and emotional, this young compatriot has no small means and courage!
After the negotiation is confirmed, both parties call the lawyer for 2 hours to draft and sign the document, which can be regarded as the first cooperation.
In the next few days, Second Master Mei will spread the news all over Anliang, and anyone who needs it can go to Anliang General Association to sign a contract, and Jonathan's lawyer will be there for half a month.
"Cheers to cooperation!" Li Zitao, who successfully pimped, was excited.
This is a business that he single-handedly promoted, and the satisfaction is bursting?
"Boss, you actually have a lot of this kind of business in your hands. The little elk interjected beside him.
"Mouthy!" Li Zitao glanced at her, his business?
Of course, it was handed over to the think tank to take care of, otherwise why pay so much salary!
It's okay to make a cameo appearance in the 'matchmaker' occasionally for fun, let him be buried in the document mountain every day, tired like a dog, Li Zitao would rather be an otaku!
"If Anliang can't eat your output, other McDonald's will solve it, and you can negotiate the price yourself. Before Li Zitao left, he gave him Lawrence's number.
Seeing the name Rockefeller, Jonathan's pupils opened slightly, and a hint of joy couldn't help but appear in his heart, "This business is worth it!"
Although the Astor family was once glorious, that is history, and compared to the current Rockefeller, their status has long been turned upside down.
Besides, he can't represent the Astor family now.
......
After receiving a call from Ben, Lawrence, who was in retreat at home, finally got out of the gate.
Of course, dividing the family property or something is a joke, if he dares to do this, I am afraid that now all five limbs are disabled, and he can wait for death at home.
During this time at home, Lawrence was talking to different people every day to plan for his future.
What he is most interested in is to use his money to invest in industries with potential.
Especially after McDonald's made a big effort, Lawrence felt more and more that this was a good business.
Let a person with a bright mind grow the company, he just needs to wave the banknote, give them support at the beginning, and sit back and wait for dividends.
But his idea was not supported by his father, John Jr.
"How can you make sure that your choices will not go wrong, you need to keep making choices throughout your life, and no one can always succeed, not even God. ”
Lawrence felt that his father was right, but he also had his own insistence.
He doesn't need to be guaranteed to succeed forever, as long as he can guarantee a higher rate of success than failure.
In the end, he persuaded his father, got his support, and got an 'interest-free loan' of 200,000 US dollars for two years, and was ready to roll up his sleeves and do a big job.
"Come and work obediently!" Li Zitao summoned him, and Lawrence's dream was shattered.
"Charlie, I don't know anything about catering. Lawrence, sitting on the lawn of Area 22, couldn't help but laugh.
"It's okay, you can learn slowly, I'm optimistic about you!" Li Zitao patted him on the shoulder with confidence, looking serious.
"I want to be a venture capitalist, not a restaurant tycoon!" Lawrence finally gave in, though it was a bit different from his plan.
Who made him owe Li Zitao a favor on McDonald's stock!
With 20,000 US dollars and 5% of the shares of Golden Arches, even when he had not shown his potential, he took a big advantage.
Now McDonald's is in full swing to hold a franchise investment conference, and Subway, a subsidiary of Golden Arches, is also about to open.
Judging from the situation at McDonald's, Subway's results will not be bad in the end.
This makes Lawrence more and more indebted, and as a shareholder, he also has an obligation to contribute to the development and growth of the company.
In the afternoon of the same day, the Golden Arches held a press conference.
In fact, it is just to put a few benches, a wooden table, hang a banner behind it, talk about it, and the reporters take two photos, take the press release and the money and leave.
At this time, the press conference is so simple, unless there is any sensational news, or the giants want to announce some major news, it will have a little bit of a lofty feeling.
At this press conference, Lawrence officially assumed the position of CEO of Golden Arches.
Then there was nothing to do with them, and the think tank would naturally use all kinds of polished manuscripts to start writing big books.
1001 stories that had to be told between Rockefeller and the Golden Arches.
Hey, hey, hey......
Not to mention, this method works really well.
Just by the four headlines of "Rockefeller" in large and bold size, this report has been sought after by all parties.
The think tank also bought gossip channels in various cities, and the words "Rockefeller" and "McDonald's" could always be heard on the radio from morning to night.
Fire, fire, super hot!
Seemingly overnight, the whole of America was going crazy about the fast food called 'McDonald's', and people were rushing to ask all about it.
Even the homeless people on the street are looking for the 'McDonald's' of their own city. ’
It's not that they're panicking, but McDonald's has announced that they will provide meals to be eaten, and advocate that families who can afford it buy food first and put it at McDonald's for those who need it.
Every afternoon at 15~17 o'clock, each McDonald's fast food restaurant will provide 20 people to eat, "The world is warm, McDonald's, make the world warmer." ”
At Club 22, Li Zitao rarely came to the office to sit down, and was leisurely enjoying the massage of the little elk, and he broke in in a hurry.
"Boss, these people are crazy. Ben had a stack of rosters in his hand, and without waiting for him to ask, he continued: "There are hundreds of people in every city, waving checks to get concessions, and the price of $6,000 seems like nothing to them, oh my God, are we really in the Great Depression?"
Other people's homes are closing, going bankrupt, going bankrupt, and sigh~~
On McDonald's, it seems that countless rich people have popped up overnight, carrying a lot of cash to Chicago, "Say, how much, don't give you the franchise to die!!"
