Chapter 487: Poverty Alleviation
Everything was ready, and Cranberry Foods Co., Ltd. was established in Korea and Europe. The next step is to choose the site and make some adjustments according to the tastes of the local residents.
Under normal circumstances, these countries may look down on such a new Chinese food brand, but if it is a brand that is already popular in the United States, then everyone's attitude will be completely different.
This is why Li Han wants to push the brand to the United States first, and then develop in Japan, South Korea and Europe.
As for the Japanese side, because the approval of the branch is a little late, and in the face of the obstruction of the agricultural association, the formation may be a little late, but on the other hand, the long-term benefits are greater.
Because once Li Han and the Agricultural Association formed a mutual restraint trend, he could even check and balance the Japanese government at that time, but he disdained to be involved in politics, after all, politics had to be harmonious.
While Li Han was preparing for overseas branches, Liu Yingying and Wang Man also developed new products at home all day long, adjusting the tastes of Europe, America and South Korea.
That afternoon, Li Han took Liu Yingying from her home and prepared to let her continue to develop.
As soon as she entered the door, Li Shiyun greeted her with staggering steps and shouted happily: "Dad! ”
"Ouch! My baby! Li Han hurriedly greeted her, picked her up before she fell, and kissed her on the face: "Good daughter came out to pick up Dad?" What about Mom? ”
"Mom." Li Shiyun said, turned her head to look at the living room, and at this time, Wang Man led Li Junhao out of it slowly, and complained angrily: "When I heard that my father was back, I immediately came to my strength, and I couldn't walk steadily, but I actually ran." ”
"Dad......" Li Junhao took Wang Man and shouted obediently.
"Good." Li Han touched his head, and then hugged the two of them and leaned towards Wang Man, "My big baby." ”
"Okay, your student is here, don't be so insensitive......" Wang Man kissed him with a smile, and then turned to Liu Yingying: "Let's go, Yingying, I have prepared all kinds of ingredients, let's make some hamburgers suitable for Korean taste today." ”
"Koreans don't just like to eat that sweet, spicy taste." Li Han laughed.
"That's pretty much." Liu Yingying smiled slightly, "Korean cooking techniques are more primitive, especially in terms of meat, after all, they don't eat meat for a long time, so they prefer raw meat, which is very similar to Japan." In addition, they have an inexplicable obsession with pork belly, and they will definitely love my newly developed pork belly burger. ”
"You mean you're quite prescient, little girl?" Li Han put Li Junhao and Li Shiyun in the stroller, "Then I'll put it on the shelves and sell it directly over there, a good start is still very important." ”
"No problem." Liu Yingying said, turning to Wang Man, "Master, let's continue to develop new products, right?" ”
"You deal with it alone for a while, and I'll come right away." Wang Man admonished her, and then came to Li Han.
"So, my dear husband, what is on your mind right now?" Wang Man asked with a smile.
"I'm thinking about ......," Li Han sighed as he folded his arms, "to buy Silik Bank." ”
"Are you talking about the bank that went bankrupt in the United States some time ago?" Wang Man asked curiously, helping Li Han straighten up his hair, "Can Chinese buy American banks?" ”
"Yes, that bank wasn't state-owned either." Li Han sighed and said.
"Then you just do it." Wang Man patted his face and smiled.
"To be honest, it's difficult." Li Han lifted her chin and kissed her, "If I buy this bank, I won't be able to get help from the U.S. government, and I have to fill in all the depositors' money myself." ”
"Then why did you buy this bank?" Wang Man asked puzzled, Li Han just touched her head, "Because this bank is very important, its customers are the entire American high-tech companies, and winning this bank is equivalent to holding the technological lifeblood of the United States." ”
"I'd better do what I can and develop more new dishes to help you grow your burger joint." Wang Man held his face dotingly and smiled, then turned his head and went into the kitchen. Li Han seized the opportunity to slap her on the ass before she got away.
The acquisition of Silik Bank was a tough job, and so far no one has dared to take over the mess. The richest man in the world only mentioned that he planned to make an acquisition, but he has not yet taken action.
Just like Ruixin Bank, taking over this bank brings negative returns, because the bank is facing a serious run in this situation, and the bank must help the bank make up all the deposits of these customers.
The shortfall of the Silik Bank is about $300 billion.
The money to buy the bank is nothing, the key is the cost of filling the deposit.
If the U.S. takes over the bank by its own company or bank, then the Fed usually gives some help, as was the case with the Swiss bank's acquisition of Ruixin Bank.
Even with Li Han's ability, it is difficult to fill this gap, after all, this is not a small amount.
Li Han probably needs to fill the gap of $100 billion, and the remaining $200 billion can be made up by new depositors, but this is really a seriously loss-making business, and there may be a better way......
In this acquisition, it is very important to have access to the Fed's subsidies.
Li Han was thinking as he pushed his son and daughter's stroller around the house, soft and glutinous lying in their own corners watching him. Slowly, a plan emerged from Li Han's mind.
"Hey, that's a great idea." Li Han nodded with satisfaction, "Now start the preparations." ”
After that, Li Han temporarily focused his energy on the construction of overseas branches.
Koreans' tastes are still relatively easy to understand, after all, whatever they eat is sweet and spicy.
As for the French, they have higher requirements for a "sense of hierarchy", and Liu Yingying has also achieved this.
At this time, overseas branches are already being established, and the first branches in Europe and South Korea will open in about two months. As a result, Li Han was not very worried, whether it was the location selection or taste adjustment, Li Han personally checked it, and with the help of Liu Yingying, a little genius in cooking, I believe that the turnover after the opening of the branch should be very good.
The reason why they are busy opening branches in more countries is to prevent Wall Street short-sellers from shorting their companies' stocks. If a brand is aggressively expanding its stores to various countries, how can these short-sellers convince that the company's shares will fall?
On this day, Li Han was busy with the selection of the storefront of the company's overseas branch, and suddenly Liu Jiana's anxious voice came from outside the office door: "Please wait!" You can't go in without a reservation! Our Mr. Li is very busy with work! ”
At the moment when Li Han raised his head, the door of the office was pushed open, and a young girl looked at him.
This girl should be twenty-six or seventeen, not particularly beautiful but very delicate, in fact, as long as she dresses up a little, she is also a beauty, but she is obviously not very interested in dressing up.
"Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I really can't stop her......" Liu Jiana said guiltily.
"It's fine." Li Han raised his hand to signal that she didn't need to panic, and then turned to the young girl: "You are in such a hurry to see me, is there anything wrong?" You know, you can make an appointment in advance. ”
"I made an appointment, but you're scheduled for next month." The girl said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
This attitude made Li Han a little curious: Generally, those who come to the company to look for him are looking for him to ask for money, is this attitude appropriate?
"Okay, then I'll give you ten minutes." Li Han put down the live smile in his hand.
"My name is Xia Wenhua, and I am a doctoral student from the Department of Economics and Management of Zhongchang University." The other party introduced herself, but then the girl changed her words: "I want to introduce to you today my hometown, a small county town located in Tianyang District, Xiguan City, which is a poor small county town with a per capita annual income of only 3,000 yuan......
To Li Han's surprise, what the other party came to tell him was not investment, but poverty alleviation.
"You are a doctoral student who graduated from 211 University, you can find a lot of good jobs, why do you go back to your hometown to help the poor?" Li Han asked with some surprise. Xia Wenhua smiled slightly: "In order to let more people in the village study like me, get out of that small village." ”
Saying that, Xia Wenhua continued: "I know that you have established a charitable fund to donate to many poor people. As far as I know, you have given away more than a billion donations, and all of them have actually been delivered to those who need them. But have you ever thought that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, and it is useless to donate, you have to let them make money on their own. ”
"Well, that makes sense." Li Han nodded, "Then what is your plan?" ”
"I've investigated that the soil in our hometown is very suitable for growing loquat and sugar oranges, and now the key is to build roads. So I hope you will donate a road on our side, and we ourselves will go out on this road. Xia Wenhua explained.
"I want to remind you that I am a businessman, and your proposal must be beneficial to me." Li Han added.
"I will help you put your money to the right place and solve the country's poverty in the most efficient way." Xia Wenhua said seriously, "Ordinary people may think I am ridiculous, but you must understand my words." ”
"...... doctoral student in the Department of Economics and Management" Li Han thought about it and felt that what the other party said was quite reasonable, poverty alleviation is indeed more important than donations, and it can also solve the poverty problem of more people.
What's more, this girl's cause and effect calculator is bright red, and so far, Li Han has only seen Wang Man's results be so "red", maybe this girl can come in handy in the future.
"Okay." Li Han nodded, "I will contact your local government and sponsor a road in your village." ”
