It took Link about two more hours in the evening to finish the report sent by Catherine.

Jessica gave him another piece of advice and advice. But he thought about it for two days before he called Catherine.

He told Catherine on the phone: "I agree to buy this company if the purchase price is within my reach." ”

"We will make the most advantageous acquisition plan for you as soon as possible. Catherine received his reply, and her morale went up. This means that she has the opportunity to take charge on her own soon.

Before Catherine's plan for the acquisition was finalized, Harry called to say that he had something to talk to. Link simply asked PA-72, who was parked at Hans's farm, to send him over.

Harry was visiting Hannah Castle for the second time, but he still sighed, "Oh my God, the last time I came back, I dreamed that I could build a castle like this. ”

"You can someday. Link laughed and led him to his study and asked. "What do you want to drink, beer or wine, tea or coffee?"

"Of course you're here for a drink!" Harry didn't need to say hello, and sat down on the couch. "Your wine is famous in Las Vegas. Our restaurant sells at least 200 glasses a day. In his restaurant, a glass of red wine is about 100 millilitres. You can only pour a little more than seven cups for a bottle. However, most of the Blue Lagoon wines sold in his restaurant are low-grade. There are also mid-range ones, but the sales volume is relatively small.

He laughed and said, "Don't talk about those casinos, at least half of the red wine they sell is your Blue Lagoon wine." You don't know it, but now you're not in Las Vegas, but you're still considered a hero and icon of the city. First he became a gambling god, then he made super wines to become famous all over the world, and then he brought enough water to the city. Recently, he suddenly became a bear-fighting hero. Oh my God, I'm dying of jealousy. Anything that happens to me and I can be a big star in Las Vegas. But it's all on your head, and your wine is a big seller in Las Vegas. Nowadays, many people celebrate not drinking beer and drinking your wine instead. ”

Link opened a bottle of Fire Cloud, poured two glasses, smiled and sat down and said, "It's all just luck." "Pass the glass.

"OK, but you're out of luck. Harry smiled and snapped his glass. "But it's okay, I'm not bad. Because I have a friend who is super lucky. ”

Link laughed. After laughing, he asked, "You have to fly a thousand miles here, what important things do you want to talk to me about?"

"It's a small thing for you, but it's a big thing for me. Harry said with a smile. "Now the business of the restaurant is stable and profitable. Especially last month, when we started selling Blue Lagoon wines, our profitability increased a lot. Now Las Vegas is starting to regain popularity. I'm planning to open branches in North Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Strip, Henderson, and Paradise City. What do you think?"

"Very good idea. But is there enough money?"

"I'm not going to buy the shop, it's just the rent and the renovation costs, which will definitely be enough. You had a budget of fifteen million. Harry pondered for a moment and said. "I estimate that even the Las Vegas Strip, which has the most expensive rent, could open a store for a middle- to high-class customer base for a million dollars and stay in business until it becomes profitable. As for branches elsewhere, I think I can open one for $40 to 500,000 dollars. ”

"How much difference in cost between different branches?"

Harry explains, "At the Las Vegas Strip branch, I plan to open a restaurant that is primarily aimed at mid-to-high-end customers. Because of the location, the rent will be much higher, and the decoration cost will be much higher. The other branches are still the same as the No. 1 store, mainly targeting ordinary consumers. ”

Hearing him arrange like this, Link also felt very good: "Then how many branches do you plan to open? ”

Harry smiled and said, "I plan to open a branch in a month and a half starting next year. If it's just for renovation, a month and a half is completely enough, and you don't need to train to recruit restaurant waiters in Las Vegas. ”

"Do you have a plan? You give it to me first, and I'll let Martha talk to you after I've seen it. ”

"I'll make a plan when I get back!" Harry knew, and now his business in Las Vegas was basically in the hands of his subordinates. "There's one thing I have to tell you in advance. I plan to open six stores in Las Vegas within a year, as well as locations in cities with large populations, such as Renault and Carson City. Can your beef and veggie supply keep up?"

"That won't be a problem. Link affirmed.

While his twist has gained a few more customers at Chinese restaurants in San Francisco, casinos in Las Vegas are buying his beef. But a few more restaurants won't put a strain on him.

And the size of the herd is still growing, and he plans to raise some cattle on the newly purchased land this year.

The cattle were mainly used to supply his snack franchise system in the early stage. Harry's restaurant branches couldn't cost much. It also occurred to him now that maybe he should consider planting more vegetables and fruits. So that he can make the concept of green eating that he can market.

He has enough land anyway. As long as the portions are taken out, it will be enough to meet the needs of his plan.

"Fifteen million dollars, if you don't have to buy a storefront, you should be able to open about 20 branches, but there are very few populous cities in Nevada. But I'm hoping to settle down in Nevada first, and I'm planning to open nine or ten stores. In this way, there will be a lot of money left over from the budget you gave before. Therefore, I think that if the location and price of the store are suitable, I should choose a few stores and negotiate with the owner to buy them. ”

Link thought for a moment, nodded and said, "If the business is good, it's a good thing to buy the store!" ”

"That's certainly not enough. Harry nodded in acknowledgement. "So I just have that idea, but I don't necessarily put it into action. I'm just looking at what you think. ”

Linkmore shook the glass and said, "That's a good idea." However, I think it's a good idea to consider buying a store if you have enough money to expand your business. ”

Harry smiled and nodded, "I think so, too. I estimate that after next year at most, as long as the Neva branches are stable, we can also make profits from opening one or two more branches, and then we will be able to train store managers. If I want to expand, I'm going to expand to cities in southern and central California first. ”

"In short, you are in charge of the business of the western restaurant. Martha: They might ask, but they won't interfere too much!" Link was assuring. "But if you open a branch, can you give priority to the residents of Hans's apartment under the same conditions?"

Although it does not provide many jobs, it is more or less for some young people.

"As long as they're suitable, that's fine. Harry nodded.

With that, Harry smiled and pulled out an envelope, "I'm done with work." Hand it to him. "Now it's a private matter. ”

Link took the envelope and asked, "What is this?" he put down his glass and opened it, seeing that it was an invitation.

"I proposed to Zstanka the day before yesterday, and she agreed!" Harry's smiling eyes were almost out of sight.

Link was also happy for him. Harry and Zstanka have been together for five years, not only living together, but also starting a business together. The relationship between the two has also been very stable. Now getting married is just a ritual. He sincerely wished, "Then I really want to congratulate you!" Link smiled and picked up the wine glass. "It's a pity it's not champagne!"

Harry laughed and clinked glasses with him and said, "It's not champagne, but I'm still happy!"

"The wedding date is scheduled for January 15th, will you and Jessica be available for our wedding?"

"Of course I'll be free!Jessica should be able to spare time. Link nodded immediately. "Is the wedding venue booked?"

"I just got my proposal and everything is not ready yet. Now Zstanka and I discuss it together after work. ”

Link laughs and says, "What do you think of the MGM Hotels? They have a good ballroom, and if you want to have an outdoor wedding reception, their garden is also great for a wedding reception." If you like, I'll give them a call. ”

"Well, I'm going to ask Ztanka's opinion!"

Link wasn't upset by his hesitation. He knows that the most important thing for newcomers is romance. MGM is classy enough, but it doesn't give everyone the romance they want.

He smiled and said, "Okay, you've decided, give me a call." Maybe I can get them to give you a discount. ”

"That's the best!" Harry said with a smile. "You know I don't have much money right now. ”

Although he is running a restaurant, he does not plan to pay dividends for the time being, and now he is just getting a salary. Because he has his own shares, the salary he sets for himself is not high, just enough for him to maintain his current life.

Harry didn't spend the night in Ozete because he was worried about the restaurant, and rushed back to Las Vegas after talking to Link.

Truth be told, investing in Harry for fifteen million dollars is only the least invested project in Link's business. Of course, if this business really grows, it will have a great impact on him.

But as things stand, Harry still has a long way to go to make their restaurant bigger.

Now Harry can only put his customer base in the ordinary class. But unless such a restaurant can open branches all over the United States, it will not have much impact on American society.

But if you could turn some restaurants into fine dining, it would be completely different. That would give Link an extra business card in the American upper class. It also allows Harry to really enter high society. It's just that there's still a long way to go!

He could tell that Harry valued the business very much.

According to the previous agreement between them, if Harry had any remaining funds, he could buy a portion of the shares from Link. Perhaps Harry had decided to put all his heart and soul into their restaurant from the moment he made that request.

As an investor, he certainly wants the restaurant to be profitable. As long as it is profitable, no matter how much, it can prove that he has not failed to invest.

And as a friend, he also wanted Harry to succeed.

According to the share distribution they had previously agreed upon, Harry would have a 5% stake in the branch that had been opened under the initial fifteen million in funds.

After fifteen million dollars invested in writing. After opening another branch, Harry can use funds to buy some of the shares in addition to 5% of the shares. At the same time, Link also promised all the shares of the branches, he could have up to 35% of the purchase rights, and the restaurant would always be run by him.

If Harry could run those restaurants well and own 40% of the entire branch chain, Link would have one more billionaire friend.
