"Boss, trouble is coming. This is the first sentence Li Zitao heard when he walked into the think tank with Wise.

This is Wise, the first CEO of Lee's Real Estate, to meet his needs. Li Zitao pulled a passing staff member next to him and said.

After West and the other party left, Li Zitao and Rush came to the sofa area in the corner, and Ben was still going on his sweet trip to Europe.

"What's the matter?"

"A Boston store called Buckburger, which just opened today, has received a lot of coverage from major newspapers and listed it as a new rival to McDonald's. ”

"A burger restaurant?" Li Zitao wondered, a restaurant is quite a rival to McDonald's, who gave you the courage?

"Yes, one. Rush said with a serious face, "But just when it opened, it was announced that it had approved 40 franchisees. ”

"En?" Li Zitao sat up straight, and finally got serious: "Who is it?"

"First National Bank of Boston, in conjunction with Buckburg, announced that they are offering a 3-year interest-free loan to every qualified franchisee. ”

"Heh......" sneered, Li Zitao already knew who was doing the ghost.

Boston First National Bank, the financial body of the Boston consortium, who else can there be besides the Kendi family who was slapped in the face by him last time?

"It seems that Joseph doesn't want to give up!" Li Zitao sneered, "Are their profit points also on the land?"

"Yes, exactly copy the development model of McDonald's. Rush was a little helpless.

This kind of thing is unavoidable, and it can only be said that McDonald's showed strong potential as soon as it appeared, coupled with old grudges with the Kendi family......

"Boss, the think tank thinks that we don't need to pay attention to them, we just need to play steady, we won't be affected in the slightest, as long as we stay ahead, they won't be a threat. ”

Step by step, step by step, big fish eat small fish, sharks swallow big fish, and the final result is that only sharks can survive, and the market is so cruel.

"They made a deal with Coca-Cola?" Li Zitao asked again without responding.

Seeing Rush's nodding action, Li Zitao's eyebrows unconsciously raised, "What's the matter, Lao Tzu invites you to ignore it, and you will be anxious to get on the pole at the Kendi family." ”

"Go to Hollywood, ask celebrities to advertise for Pepsi, call Dwight and get the Army to cooperate with our propaganda. ”

A large number of Coca-Cola's early sales came from the military, especially the army.

In the Army Club, Coke is the most popular and best-selling drink, and now Li Zitao wants to change that.

I have accepted your veterans and made such a great contribution to social stability, and now I need your cooperation to do propaganda, isn't it too much?

Anyway, it's all cola, the same taste, and it's better to drink 'home' products.

"Give me a piece of paper. Hearing Li Zitao's order, Rush hurriedly took a blank piece of paper.

Phew

Stained with the ink on the table, Li Zitao quickly sketched three-dimensional lines on the paper, and when the exploded view of the pull-up ring at the top was completed, he handed it to Rush.

"Let people patent it, find the right factory, and have a solid red paint on the outside, and we're going to give Pepsi a new look. Li Zitao confidently put the pen in his pocket.

"Boss, this design is fantastic, it's a revolution in the way it is opened, ha, I'm going to do it now. Rush sped away with the blueprints.

Boom!

Before the sofa was cold, Wyester sat down opposite him with a stack of materials.

"Are you in trouble?" asked Wise, unhurriedly flipping through the papers.

"Little trouble. Li Zitao shrugged his shoulders easily.

"You should expand your social circle. West said without looking up.

"I hope so, but you know what? I'm like an alien isolated from sharks. ”

Doesn't Li Zitao want to expand his social circle?

As a baby shark that is supposed to be juvenile, he also wants to find shark colonies.

Whether it's the Jewish Club in Palm Cove, the networking reception at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, or the aristocratic salon at the Metropolitan Club in Chicago, he wants to attend.

However, everything is afraid of but......

No one invited him, what can he do, could it be that Li Zitao licked his face and hit the door?

Now the only thing Li Zitao is looking forward to is the growth of the No. 22 club.

Just when Li Zitao was annoyed, West still had a card with the Habsburg family coat of arms on the table.

"Oops~ It seems that something was accidentally dropped, forget it, it doesn't matter anyway. ”

With that, West walked away with his papers, he needed to find a quiet place and be fully prepared for tomorrow's meeting.

Sitting in place, Li Zitao looked at the pure gold card, and his face was uncertain.

Li Zitao believes that as long as he has this card, he can come and go at the gatherings of the upper circle at will, and he is welcomed by a high standard.

At the same time, in the eyes of the outside world, he became a member of the Habsburgs, and his yellow skin was not important, and his name and origin were also unimportant.

The important thing is that European and American families will put the Habsburg label on his face.

"To take or not to take?" is a critical question.

Li Zitao has plans to give Wise a pension to the end, and he also regards him as a respectable and lovely elder in his heart.

It's just that......

"Habsburg. Li Zitao turned the card between his fingers, his eyes glazed and murmured.

"Boss, here's a document to sign. Back in the office, the little elk followed in with a file.

When I opened it, it was about the progress of the formation of 'Aerospace and Skunk Works', and his aircraft factory finally had an eyebrow.

"Zhao, when will you be able to end your studies?" Regarding Zhao Yaozhong's situation, the think tank has always paid attention.

"He's working on his dissertation and will be able to leave for Santa Barbara. ”

"How long will it take for the merger to be completed?" Seeing that there was no problem, Li Zitao signed his name.

"In 15 days, the Santa Barbara factory will be ready for immediate use, and the think tank plans to build a new R&D center on the periphery, which is expected to be completed within one year. ”

Looking through the documents in his hand, there are records about the cooperation agreements reached between the R&D Center and the University of Chicago and Northwest University.

Zhi University and Northwest University each send two professors in the field of astronautics, and the four professors have a total of 30 places under their names, and Skunk will also become an internship site for research and doctoral students.

And, Mahathir and Zhao Yaozhong communicated many times, and the genius compatriot agreed to do his best to facilitate the cooperation between Caltech and Skunk.

The little elk's clean answer made Li Zitao look at her with some surprise: "Good performance, continue to work hard." ”

Hearing the praise of the Great Demon King, the little elk's eyes smiled into two crescents, and he went out with his hips twisted happily.

As the time creeps into May, people on the streets shed their coats, women wore crisp long skirts and stockings, and men changed into lighter suits.

The homeless people who have survived the cold winter continue to live a boring and difficult life every day.

It's just that the homeless people in IL are much happier than in other states, because every day between 15~17 o'clock in the afternoon, they can get hot fresh burgers at McDonald's.

If you're lucky, someone will order a Coke for them.

In the midst of disasters, people mostly sympathize with the homeless, and there are not many people who leave with disgust on their faces when they see the homeless in the store.

On the contrary, with the spread of the waiter meal, McDonald's became more and more famous.

Some savvy shopkeepers found that the benefits of the waiter meal were far more than their efforts, so in District 22, an owners' committee was launched again.

People started discussions about the number of meals to be served, and the time provided.

Eventually, the daily distribution of waiter meals increased to 50, and at Yanyan's suggestion, each store added free paper cups to the water heaters.

"Friendly, hard-working Chinese, loyal friend of the United States. An article in the Chicago Times was picked up by newspapers everywhere.

Regarding the sense of social responsibility shown by McDonald's, many American families who are struggling to get through have given the most recognized recognition.

As for the racists, they can only secretly say dirty curses.

"Every enterprise should have his social responsibility, the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce announced today that we will add 200 material distribution points across the country,

To provide help to the suffering people, and the franchise fee of Golden Arches, 20% of its profits, will be returned to the franchisee to donate to the meal,

America will eventually return to its great and glorious moments, and I have always believed in that. ”

Li Zitao took the speech polished by the think tank and angrily brushed a wave of presence in front of reporters.

Before people could recover from the bomb, Lawrence reappeared in front of reporters the next day.

"In response to this crisis, the Golden Arches will be available in every city with a McDonald's or Subway from today.

10 lucky winners will be selected to receive a one-year burger free ......"

"Each ticket is free for a family of three, and this event is held every year ......"

The whole country is boiling, especially those families who are on the verge of bankruptcy and have gone bankrupt, and the image of the Golden Arches in their hearts at this moment is the angel sent by God to save them.

The first two days were triumphant and the scenery was infinite, as if they could overturn McDonald's and Subway's Joseph and Buckburger in an instant, and they were directly beaten and dizzy.

A heated discussion took place in Kendi Manor, some people said to reduce the price, some people said to learn the McDonald's method and follow in the footsteps of the other party.

Others say that they directly launched a purchase of Golden Arches, using their power to prevent McDonald's from entering the city they manage.

The United States of this era has one of the biggest characteristic city bosses.

Every city is not run by mayors, senators, or party leaders, but by the bosses behind them.

The most powerful city bosses can even control the entire state, and it is up to them to decide who is the governor, who is the mayor, who is the treasurer, and who can become the state legislature.

Nuki, for example, is the leader of the Republican Party in New Jersey and the owner of Atlantic City.

For example, in Chicago, why did Li Zitao never meet the leader of the Republican Party when he was close to him.

Because the city boss of Chicago is not him, but the McCormie and Wood families.

Of course, there are other reasons for this, such as the circle within the party, such as political disagreement within the Republican Party, and then the color of the skin.

As one of the eight major consortia that control the American economy, the Kendi family, which is one of the core members of the Boston Foundation, is naturally one of the city bosses.

And the core members or families of its consortium are also one of the city bosses everywhere.

If they really intend to do so, there is no doubt that some 'inexplicable' state law will pass the state legislature as quickly as possible.
