In the western suburbs of Chicago, in the reception room of the office building of the McDonald's headquarters campus (oabroo), in less than five minutes, in a conference room in front, a large group of mermaids rushed out, led by an old man with gray hair, big bags under his eyes, hooked nose, but looking very energetic, holding a water glass in his hand, and holding two Wen Jiàn clips.

The female secretary in charge of the reception said a few words in his ear and pointed in this direction, and he immediately walked over quickly, "Hello Buchanan"

"Hey Jim," Buchanan hugged him warmly, "the last time we saw each other was in '01, and you look more energetic now than you were then,"

The last time they saw each other in '01 was before Jim Cantalupo retired, and a man who was about to retire was certainly not in good shape.

But now, he is back to work again, as a savior, and the work of most of the year has indeed been fruitful.

In the first half of the year, the average number of customers who dined at McDonald's every day exceeded 4.5 million, an increase of 1 million from last year.

Since he was appointed on the first day of the year, McDonald's stock price has risen by nearly 50% .......

In the past six months, he can be said to have handed over a beautiful answer sheet to shareholders and the market.

Power and career are aphrodisiacs for men, so Jim Cantalupo, who is already old, really looks younger now than he did two years ago.

"No, no," Jim shook his head, gesturing to the glass of water he had placed on the table, "I can't live without these drinks after a long day of work, my doctor recommended it, would you like to try it?" he poured Buchanan a glass.

"It's not bad," Buchanan tasted, "but it would be better if it could be improved,"

"Hehe, the taste is really not flattering, but it is better for me than coffee,"

"Jim, your weight loss seems to be paying off, congratulations,"

The image of the original Jim, really to the now widespread McDonald's is the duty of junk fast food, does not help in any way, because he is fat.

"Thank you," Jim shook his hand vigorously and looked at his belly, which was no longer very prominent, "After insisting on losing weight, now I also feel that the whole ⊙ ⌒dǐng⊙⌒diǎn⊙⌒小⊙⌒ said, .≤.■os_(); A lot of personal spirit,"

"I'm bringing you a small gift this time, you should like it," Buchanan took out three small boxes, "This is the latest product of our group of Chinese companies, electronic pedometer, this one has the most complete functions, better accuracy, not only has all the functions of pedometer, but also integrated into the P3, exercise with it, it will be more fun,"

Pedometer this thing, the earliest was also designed by Leonardo da Vinci, but for a long time, has never come in handy, in recent years, with people's attention to health, in Europe and the United States and other developed countries, this gadget has slowly become popular.

The three pedometers of the Magic Workshop, in essence, are not subversive, but it adheres to the concept of the Magic Workshop to harmonize science and beauty, and the core uses the current highest level of science and technology.

Jim took it up with great interest and tried it, "Yes, it looks like an Apple product,"

"That's what Jobs said," Buchanan laughed.

"The young chairman of your company is really good, I read his book and learned about his entrepreneurial experience, he is really a rare young man,"

This is a bit of a reliance on the old and selling the old, but there is no way, how can the current scale of Feng Yiping's company be compared with McDonald's?

"Feng He admires you even more, Jim, he said that these initiatives and achievements you have launched after you were appointed this year will definitely make you the best in the United States, and he is looking forward to having the opportunity to communicate with you face-to-face,"

"I'm also looking forward to it, so, did he usually mention what else we can improve?"

Buchanan has been in frequent contact with himself recently, although he can't figure out his intentions for a while, but Jim, who is old and sophisticated, naturally knows that this is Noor and Feng Yiping in the back, and there must be some business plans, related to the McDonald's he is in charge of.

"When communicating privately, Feng mentioned a few times, McDonald's, is also the carrier of American culture that he first came into contact with, he likes our burgers very much, but he feels that in terms of market positioning, it seems that some adjustments are needed now, although he has not done research, but he feels that at least in their country, children who dine only account for a small part, and most of them are adults,"

As we all know, McDonald's children's paradise and children's meals have always been different from other American fast food, but until now, this positioning is obviously a bit narrow.

"Secondly, he felt that the slogan of gathering and laughing every moment did not seem to attract those fashionable young people,"

"Not bad," said old Jim, "we are aware of these problems and are ready to make adjustments,"

He didn't ask, about these two aspects, Feng Yiping has anything to build yì, a big company, or an old company, has his pride, besides, their friendship has not yet reached that point.

"And then there's another meeting," Jim looked at his watch, "I'll just say Buchanan, do you have any plans? Do you want us to advertise on Noor?

"If Jim you think our website can help McDonald's operations, we'd love to help,"

"However, I recently contacted you, and this visit, because McDonald's is a company that Feng and I respect very much, and Jim, you are also a senior that Feng and I admire very much, and we hope to have the opportunity to have in-depth communication with you, and we also hope to have more cooperation opportunities with McDonald's, not just in advertising,"

"More opportunities for collaboration?" Jim frowned, what else could we work with besides advertising?

"Yes, more and more opportunities for collaboration," Buchanan said, "and next month, Feng is coming to Chicago for a NAQ meeting, and he's very eager to meet with you then."

"Please tell him that he is welcome to visit at any time,"

…………

"Jingping, what should I do if I don't want to return to China after living here?" Under the parasol by the pool in the backyard of the house, Feng Yuxuan, who had just arrived in the United States, wore a long shirt by Huang Jingping, wore sunglasses, sat on a recliner, ate donuts, drank cherry juice, and sighed about his brother's ** life.

"This is the United States, if you want to talk about high-rise buildings, it's really not as good as in China, but if you want to talk about small homes, tsk, whether it's software or hardware, it's much better than in China, compared with yours, those villas in the country, that's more than a house,"

"That's just right, don't go back sister, Yiping often stays in China, and he often travels here on business, so the two of us happen to be companions, or why don't you just come to the United States to open a blind date website?"

"Hey, that's true, brother, don't look at it, you won't come to your house to accompany me?"

Feng Yiping took Amanda and walked over with the big stack of pictures and text materials that Chen Xuefeng asked Feng Yuxuan to bring, "I don't think it's a good idea to run a blind date website in the United States?"

"Why?"

"Blind date website, in fact, was first born in the United States, at the World Expo in New York in 64, in Pike's exhibition area, there is a large computer, which can select pen pals around the world for you according to some conditions you enter, an accountant was inspired, and in the second year and a programmer of B, launched the world's first blind date website, and then followed the crowd, and now the world's largest blind date website is in the United States,"

"Moreover, Americans are more independent and advocate freedom, unlike our country where there is so much pressure to start a family, their blind date site, in fact, is not the same as the nature of the country, the accurate translation should be an online dating site, relying on this to make money, difficult,"

"Actually, in China, it is not a big deal to expect to make money from the registered membership fees of the website alone, this diǎn sister should know that the wedding company is more profitable, isn't it?"

"Oh," Feng Yuxuan listened a little wilted.

"It's okay sister, let's come to see the restaurant, to make such a restaurant a chain in the United States, that's not a small business, you see, if the store is so distinctive, the things are delicious and healthy, don't worry about no business,"

If you want to say that Feng Yiping plans to open a restaurant in Silicon Valley, Huang Jingping is the happiest.

Feng Yiping smiled, and was about to say a few words, when he saw Page calling, "Feng, today, Yahoo has put forward the intention to acquire us again,"

Feng Yiping was a little stunned, is there such a thing? )
