Chapter 91: Candidates to Open the Restaurant (Fifth Update)
The Clippers lost three in a row, and Min Congda felt that it was the New Year, and the system paid him a salary of $6,000 in one go.
Min used part of the money to buy Apple shares, increasing his number of shares to 40.
Apple's stock price rose again after a short period of correction, reaching an all-time high of $206 per share.
Min Congda's stock value has come to more than $8,000, which is a lot of savings.
Coupled with the cash on hand, the total wealth came to 10,000 US dollars, and he became an unknown local 10,000 yuan household.
According to the local housing prices in Los Angeles, the price of a small single-family house of a middle-class family is generally around $470,000.
For example, the villa Curry bought in the Northeast is $490,000, which is very simple among NBA stars.
The price of the downtown apartment arranged by the system for Min Congda was $1.35 million, which was a price that fell sharply after the subprime mortgage crisis.
Before 2008, an apartment here cost more than $2 million, and it was not always possible to buy it.
Min Congda's savings of 10,000 US dollars are enough to buy a space the size of a toilet in the apartment.
Sitting on the toilet, Min Congda thought about the recent bad plan, and deeply felt that the money from the losing salary was still slow.
"I gave Randolph a four-year contract of 70 million, his agent took a commission of $200,000, and Lao Tzu took $6,000, and it was still unstable, I was really speechless."
"It seems that it is better to bankrupt the team, or let their market value decline to have a future, even if there is no $300 million, a decline of 50 million is good."
Min Congda put the idea of putting the rotten back to increasing the team's expenses, leaving the team in debt and making ends meet.
He remembered that he had asked Riccelle to find him a collaborator to open the restaurant, and he would reply to him in two weeks.
It's been two weeks, why is this dead fat man still silent?
I pulled out my phone and called the team's media department.
"Hey Radish, are you okay now?"
"Oh, Mr. Smart, it's good, I'm dealing with some fan letters......"
"Have you eaten?"
"Uh... Right now? It's only three o'clock in the afternoon, and it's still early for dinner. ”
"Well, there's about two hours left until it's time to eat, and I'll give you two hours to find the Stamps Restaurant collaborator for me! Otherwise, you don't eat and go straight home. ”
"Oh! Mr. Smart, that's right, I ......."
"I don't need to listen to you, two hours, I'm going to hear your answers."
After speaking, Min Congda hung up the phone and got up from the toilet.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, I don't have to go to work, and I have a free day at home, which is really comfortable.
"Where do you go to eat at night? Well...... Let's go to Curry's house, the dishes made by Ayesha taste very good. ”
Min Congda had already planned to go to Curry's house for dinner in the evening.
And Riccelle hung up the phone, sweating profusely, two hours, only two hours left!
In fact, Riccelle did not forget the task given by Min Congda.
Two weeks ago, he started looking for a partner to open the restaurant.
His connections in the restaurant industry were so limited that he went to Chef Mazzolani at the training center's restaurant.
Mazzollani introduced him to a few veteran investors in the restaurant industry, but when they heard that they were going to open a fine dining restaurant in Stamps, they shook their heads and said they didn't want to do it.
First of all, the Stamp Center rent is very expensive, and it is at the ceiling level in the whole of Los Angeles.
Second, the Staples Center has been built for many years, and the restaurants and shops here are very stable, and the competition is very fierce.
Third, I think that the idea of opening a high-end restaurant is not good, and it is okay to make fast food such as hamburgers and fried chicken.
Fine dining? Who would go to the Staples Center to watch a game and eat food from a fine dining restaurant?
After talking to several groups of people in a row, he couldn't find anyone willing to cooperate, so Riccelle could only let it go for the time being.
He still has a lot of work to do, because the Clippers have been okay lately, and there has been a noticeable increase in fan letters.
The media department has also had more public opinion to deal with, and recently Jordan Peel and Michael Kee have also said that they will use the team's YouTube account in the hope of increasing the team's online publicity.
All sorts of things, and now I received Smart's deadline death call, and the fat man Riccelle is really about to collapse.
Sitting at his desk, Riccelle held his head and grabbed his hair, not knowing what to do.
Two hours where the fuck are you going to find someone who is willing to open a fine dining restaurant in the Stamps Center?
But Mr. Smart is a man of all his word, and he says that if he doesn't let you eat, he will really ruin your job.
There are still three children to support at home, a big house to pay off the mortgage, and the housing prices in Los Angeles are so high, this day is really unbearable!
"Knock knock!"
There was a knock on the office door.
"Come in, come in."
Riccelle said weakly, and the door opened, and it was Ada who entered.
Ida was holding an envelope in her hand, and when she saw Riccelle's hair being messy, she exclaimed, "What's wrong with you, Mr. Riccelle?" Your hair...... Also, you're sweating a lot. ”
Riccelle spread his hands and said, "It's not the plan to open a restaurant in Stamp yet!" Mr. Smart gave me two weeks to find a partner, and I found several, but no one wanted to partner. Mr. Smart had just called and said that he would only give me two hours, and that if I couldn't find it, I wouldn't do it here. ”
With that, Riccelle collapsed in the back chair, his eyes full of despair.
Ida put the envelope in her hand on the table and said, "Hmm... Mr. Riccelle, if you're looking for a restaurant partner, you can't find it, maybe... Maybe I can provide one. ”
Riccelle immediately sat up upright and said, "Really? Ida, do you know anyone who works in the restaurant industry? ”
Ida nodded and said, "I... That's what my uncle did, Italian restaurant. ”
Riccelle was overjoyed and said, "Oh yes, Ada, you're Italian!" Great, would your uncle be willing to open a restaurant in the Stamp Center? ”
"I'm going to go back and ask, but according to Mr. Smart's plan, if the team comes to pay for it, I think he'll be happy to do it," Ida said. Just ......"
"Don't just do it, I only have two hours left. In this case, I will leave this matter to you, and how about you contact your uncle and Mr. Smart to discuss the opening of a restaurant? And then...... Oh, what is this envelope? ”
Riccelle asked, picking up the envelope Ida had placed on the table.
"It's a letter from a young fan and you may need to deal with it."
"Okay, no problem! I'll take care of the little fan's letter, and I'll leave the restaurant to you, okay? ”
Thinking that he could throw the pot to Ada, Riccelle suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
Ida was originally Min Congda's personal assistant, and she drew up this restaurant investment plan.
It would be much more convenient for her to report the matter directly to Min Congda, and Riccelle would save her a lot of trouble.
As for dealing with fan letters, that's his job, and he's more than happy to do it.
Ida nodded, accepting Riccelle's suggestion.
She decided to go to her uncle on the weekend and talk to him about opening a restaurant.
She thought to herself that if she did this, the family would pay off her uncle's love debt.
However, she was afraid of ruining the team and Mr. Smart, after all, her uncle was not a good person.
Thirty years ago, Christopher Antonini was a feared name in Los Angeles.
