After talking about the company's recent situation, they respectively told Xu Qing about something that Xu Qing needed to decide.

Sophia's parents said that they were working with Liu Dafu, who had created a trading company after returning from his last trip to the United States.

When Liu Dafu's trading company was first established, it cooperated with Xu Qing's trading company.

However, Xu Qing didn't care, Sophia's parents were responsible.

Sophia's parents told Xu Qing that Liu Dafu had contacted them a few days ago, hoping that they could get him some sets of industrial equipment.

Industrial equipment is not a problem, Xu Qing's trading company is involved in many industries, and industrial equipment is naturally involved.

The problem is that the industrial equipment that Liu Dafu asked Sophia's parents to build this time was banned by the United States from being sold to Huaxia.

But the problem comes again, although Liu Dafu asked Sophia's parents to engage in industrial equipment that is banned, the ban level is very low, and it is not an absolute ban.

The United States has a hierarchy of things that are prohibited from being sold to China, and some things must not be sold to China, and no institution, any company, or anyone is allowed.

And some things are relatively less strict, and the American government turns a blind eye, as long as they don't get caught red-handed, or you have a strong background, they won't care.

Xu Qing was puzzled, the industrial equipment that Liu Dafu said was actually available to some trading companies or some companies in the United States, so there was no need to find Xu Qing's trading company.

Moreover, Xu Qing was also puzzled, why Liu Dafu suddenly asked for those industrial equipment, it was definitely not Liu Dafu who wanted it, so who wanted it? Is it the Huaxia government?

If it was some companies that entrusted Liu Dafu to get those industrial equipment from the United States, Xu Qing had nothing to worry about, he was likely to let Sophia's parents get those industrial equipment for Liu Dafu.

But if the client is the Chinese government, it will be very interesting, with the energy of the Chinese government, it is not difficult to get those industrial equipment, there are many ways to get it.

Why did you entrust Liu Dafu to do it, and then Liu Dafu found Xu Qing Trading Company?

Xu Qing thought for a while and told Sophia's parents that they would refuse Liu Dafu, saying that there was no way to get those industrial equipment.

He wanted to see what would happen after rejecting Liu Dafu.

At the same time, Xu Qing also felt a pain in the egg, if someone wanted to test him, why did he choose this time, and now he was in no mood to deal with the temptation.

Now that my daughter is the biggest, everything else is put aside.

What Simmons told Xu Qing was whether the chain of Western restaurants could now expand abroad.

This issue was discussed by the two as early as the establishment of the chain of Western restaurants, and the result of the discussion at that time was that the chain of Western restaurants should be developed well in the United States first, and then the things abroad should not be too far ahead.

Don't think that with Xu Qing's financial support and Simmons' technical support, the chain of Western restaurants can develop well, there are many factors that hinder the development of chain Western restaurants.

However, now the chain of Western restaurants has developed very well in the United States, and Simmons's plan is to open up to 50 chain Western restaurants in the United States, and will not open chain Western restaurants in all cities in the United States.

Simmons' ultimate goal is to open a chain of Western restaurants in major cities around the world, and Simmons told Xu Qing at the beginning of this goal.

Xu Qing didn't say much, only said that as long as the chain of Western restaurants didn't lose too badly, he would always support Simmons.

It is estimated that the profit of the chain of Western restaurants will exceed 40 million US dollars this year, and the average profit of a chain Western restaurant is more than 1 million US dollars.

This profit is very small, under normal circumstances, more than 30 Western restaurant chains together have a profit of at least more than 200 million US dollars.

Because the chain of Western restaurants established by Xu Qing and Simmons is a high-end Western restaurant, the profit is actually not small.

However, the reason why the profit is so small now is mainly because there is more investment in the early stage, and if there is no accident, the profit of the chain of Western restaurants will be more and more.

Returning to the topic of whether to expand the chain of Western restaurants abroad, one of the main problems with expanding to foreign countries is that it will greatly increase the difficulty of management.

In case the quality of foreign chain Western restaurants declines due to management problems, the brand will be smashed.

After all, the chain of Western restaurants is not a fast food restaurant like McDonald's, and it can standardize the preparation of food.

Simmons has put a lot of effort into keeping more than 30 Western restaurant chains in the United States at the same level.

Expanding the chain of Western restaurants to foreign countries, Xu Qing is very skeptical that Simmons can still keep the same level of foreign chain Western restaurants.

Simmons said he came up with several solutions, one is that most of the ingredients are purchased uniformly except for a very few ingredients.

That is to say, all the ingredients of the chain Western restaurants in the world are purchased in a unified manner, first of all, to ensure that everyone is the same quality of ingredients.

The second way is to regularly train the chefs of all the western restaurant chains, so that their level is as high as possible.

The level of any restaurant is mainly determined by the chef, and if the chef is very high, everyone will think that the restaurant is very good, and vice versa.

Xu Qing understands Simmons's idea to standardize all chain Western restaurants as much as possible, but it can't be as standardized as McDonald's, and it can't be done.

Xu Qing felt that Simmons' method was unreliable and had a high probability of failure.

But Simmons wanted to expand the chain of Western restaurants to the world from the beginning, and Xu Qing didn't want to stop it.

If the expansion is really successful, it is naturally excellent, if the expansion fails, then it is good to run a chain of Western restaurants in the United States, the market in the United States is very large, and you can still make money by running it well.

Xu Qing told Simmons that he would support Simmons in terms of funds, and Simmons needed to do other things, and he didn't have the energy to take care of the chain of Western restaurants now.

Simmons repeatedly assured Xu Qing that he would make the chain of Western restaurants successfully expand abroad, and he asked Xu Qing to partner in establishing a Western restaurant because Xu Qing had strong funds and could solve the financial problem.

Xu Qing chatted with Sophia's parents, Simmons, for several hours, and after chatting, she went to Sophia's room to talk to Sophia, and then had dinner with Sophia's parents, Simmons.

After dinner and staying at UCSF until 9 o'clock in the evening, Xu Qing and Sophia's parents, Simmons, went back to the villa, and they will live in the villa for a while in the future.

They came to visit Sophia this time, and they didn't just leave after taking a look, at least they would wait until Xu Qing's daughter was born.

Back at the villa, Xu Qing accompanied the 6 little ones to have fun for a while, these days, Xu Qing spent most of her time with Sophia, because UCSF is not allowed to bring pets in, so Xu Qing rarely accompanies the 6 little ones.

Xu Qing touched Da Hei and Xiao Hei, and said with a smile: "You will soon welcome a younger sister, you are not happy." ”

Big Black, Little Black didn't understand what Xu Qing was saying, they only knew that Xu Qing was playing with them now, and they were very excited.
