Chapter 233: Hold on
The meaning of Marvin Morgan's words John knows, and the reason for the refusal John also understands, but where will John let him get his way, otherwise wouldn't this trip be in vain?
"Grandpa Marven! General Mills is not familiar with catering, this can be learned, and take this opportunity to have one more business and more income. As for the waste caused by opening a new operating department, I don't really have to worry about it, because my goal is not to open just one restaurant, but to have one in every major city in the country. ”
John's goal is to turn Bubba into a chain of restaurants, just like those two fast food restaurants at Pepsi.
"No, no, no....... Marvin Morgan shook his head like a rattle when he heard John's words. "If you want to open one in all major cities in China, it is too risky. ”
Before any project is executed, it must go through a detailed investigation, a project like John's mouth, Marvin Morgan does not dare to do, although a few million is a small amount of money for General Mills, but he will still be very distressed if he really loses, so he will not agree anyway.
Seeing Marvin Morgan reject himself so decisively, John was not angry, older people are more conservative and steady, and only young people are more likely to rush for success, so he asked with a slight smile. "Grandpa Marven, you are an old man of the Morgan family, have you seen the Morgan family have ever done a risk-free business along the way? The important thing is whether the risk is within the controllable range.
This restaurant has a movie promotion, and it will become a national hit before it opens, and it will become the object of everyone's attention, and when the time comes, with delicious dishes and excellent management, success should not be a problem. John is confident, but not blind, because in his previous life he had heard of Bubba's famous restaurant.
"But all this is based on the premise that your movie is a big hit, otherwise you won't have enough influence, and you won't be able to convert the audience into customers, can you be sure that your movie will be successful?" Marvin Morgan said to the point.
Although he is not a member of the film industry, he knows that movies are a high-risk industry, and movies that have not been released have not been tested by the market, who dares to pat his chest and say that his film will definitely sell well, even Spielberg does not dare, let alone a rookie director like John.
But John is no one else after all, and other directors don't dare, because his movies have already been tested by the market, but Marvin Morgan in front of him doesn't know, and he can't say it clearly.
John thought about it, and if Marvin Morgan was to let go of the situation, he had to get the bait, otherwise it would be difficult to get the stubborn old man to agree, so he proposed. "Grandpa Marven, I know you won't believe anything you say now, so let's have something real!"
Marvin Morgan listened to his ears and wondered what John would do with himself.
"If this project fails, I'll put Starbucks at General Mills, how about it?"
John's bait was so big that Marvin Morgan couldn't refuse.
Starbucks went public in June this year, although the current market value is only $250 million, but the future is promising, Marvin Morgan is also very optimistic about this coffee company, if Starbucks can be integrated into General Mills, it will be a very wonderful thing.
"JK, you're not kidding, are you!" Marvin Morgan frowned slightly, a little incredulous, John actually pressed Starbucks for a restaurant.
"I never joke when I'm down to business. John looked at Marvin Morgan seriously.
"Okay, let's make a statement. The expression on Marvin Morgan's face suddenly became serious.
"Okay. John replied crisply.
After seeing John's promise, Marvin Morgan immediately asked the servant to get a pen and paper for John to write an agreement, the agreement was very simple, General Mills helped John open and manage thirty-one Bubba restaurants, but if the restaurant failed, John had to use Starbucks to compensate General Mills for its losses.
Collaboration is a process of taking what you need, and Marvin Morgan and John each got what they wanted, and the collaboration began.
After the agreement was signed, John didn't stay long, and Marvin Morgan took Perry Morgan and Vani and sent John all the way out of the gate.
Watching John's car drive farther and farther, Pelly Morgan looked at Marvin Morgan on the side with a hint of dissatisfaction in her face. "Marven, don't you know that JK came to help us this time? Why are you embarrassing him like this?"
"Alas......"
Marvin Morgan looked at John's taillights in the dark and sighed slightly. "I didn't know he was here to help me. It's just that some help is unacceptable. ”
"Do you still want Vanny to stay in this icy place for the rest of his life like you? Can't you think about Vanny?" Pelly Morgan was a little angry.
"It was because I thought about Vani that I didn't accept JK's help. Marvin Morgan looked at Perry Morgan with a determined expression. "We can accept the distinction between high and low status, but our dignity cannot be trampled on, especially not by ourselves, if I accept JK's help today, then what kind of eyes will the family look at Fanny tomorrow?
A person who ascends to the throne by charity will never be accepted by the family.
What kind of contribution, what kind of treatment to enjoy, this is the unchanging family rule of the Morgan family, and it is also the pride of the Morgan family. ”
Marvin Morgan said with a determination in his eyes, he had done nothing in his life, and he was sent by his family to supervise General Mills in this icy place, which was his life and the family rules he needed to adhere to.
And the reason why he sticks to it like this is because this is not a simple family rule, but a promotion path opened by the founder of the Morgan family for future generations.
It is precisely because of this family rule that the talents of the Morgan family do not have to be affected by blood kinship, but can completely rely on their own strength and contribution to determine their status.
So if someone breaks this family rule, it will cut off everyone's path to promotion, which is why Marvin Morgan is reluctant to accept John's help. Because he knew that once he accepted John's help, it would be tantamount to breaking the rules of the clan and cutting off the path of promotion for everyone, and this kind of thing that was hostile to the whole clan could never be done.
And the only thing he can do is to stick to the clan rules and guard this road of promotion for future generations, because as long as this clan rule exists, everyone can get a fair chance for promotion, and Fanny can rely on his own strength to get out of this ice and snow.
