Chapter 97: Jonathan's Business

"Based on this, is Jonathan Roosevelt's cousin?" Li Zitao's brain circuit was a little off, and he began to calculate the seniority of the two families.

However, this kind of blood relationship is only useful if it does not involve interests, otherwise those cousins ​​in Europe will not fight to the death.

"Boss, do you need to reject him?" The limp-legged little elk held up her small notebook inlaid with gems, and didn't notice the deep well on Li Zitao's forehead at all. '

"No, arrange for me to have dinner with him tonight, and it will be at Universal Restaurant." For some reason, Li Zitao has been craving a bowl of tomato and egg noodles these two days.

After meeting with Second Master Mei last time, whether it was the opening of the business or when Li Zitao was shot, the other party sent condolences and congratulatory gifts.

Reciprocating, the instructors and students of the S.H.I.E.L.D. training camp also regarded Universal Restaurant as the first choice for gatherings.

While taking care of the business, let those street gangsters know that this place is not something they can mess around with.

So compared to the first time they met, the relationship between the two families has eased a lot now.

As for Jonathan, what his purpose is, we will not know until we meet him.

"Help me answer Nuki's call." After washing up, Li Zitao was about to have a good chat with Nuki. How long had he been waiting?

"Boss, it's connected." The little elk handed the phone to him.

"Nucky."

"Hey, my friend, oh, I've been really busy lately..." Nucky complained on the phone, all kinds of interest disputes, endless meetings, and endless troubles to solve.

"What about my business?" Li Zitao asked after he finished complaining.

"Charlie, you have to give me enough time, the committee is just a start-up!" Without hearing his answer, Nucky understood his dissatisfaction with this matter.

"Okay, I know what happened last time was very dangerous, you have waited long enough, I will hand him over to you before the end of the month, how about it?"

"I want to see him in Chicago before the end of the month, otherwise, your committee will be in great trouble, Nucky, you understand me." Li Zitao said in a low tone.

Nucky's complexion was a bit ugly, he didn't expect Li Zitao to be so sensitive.

"Happy April Fool's Day, haha..." Just when he didn't know how to answer, laughter came from the microphone.

"You bastard, the joke is only before 12 o'clock, FK..." Nucky scolded with a smile, looking at the pointer pointing to 14 o'clock in the pocket watch with flashing eyes.

"Really? Hehe..." Li Zitao's laughter was a little fake.

Except for Li Zitao himself, no one knows whether what he just said was a joke, or if he really planned to do this, let the damned April Fools go to hell!

After hanging up the phone, Li Zitao sat on the sofa, looking at the little elk who was tidying up the room, feeling very comfortable for a while.

After the shooter was eliminated last time, Li Zitao told Nucky the identity of the shooter, and he promised to find out the murderer and hand him over to him.

But in the past so long, Li Zitao still didn't wait for the behind-the-scenes instigation, and this was the so-called 'joke' before. '

Of course he was aware of Nucky's embarrassment. As a Dutchman, it was not an easy task to make the Italian mafia obedient.

An inadvertent mistake may cause him to help his own people eradicate dissidents and deliberately suppress the Italian mafia both internally and externally.

At that time, the newly formed committee will start to stage a big internal struggle.

So in order to hand over the killer to him, Nucky had to produce perfect evidence, no matter what method he used.

But what does it matter to him, he has given Nucky enough time and face.

If he hadn't been concerned about his face, Li Zitao would have sent someone to Sicily to kill that old man who was still out for a walk after retirement.

Mentioning this incident, Li Zitao thought of Capone, the former king of Chicago and Paul's former boss.

This once-famous boss has now been transferred to Alcatraz Prison, I hope he will enjoy picking up soap in it.

"Boss, clothes.

"The little elk held a brand new underwear and shirt and said: "The car is ready. "

"Come with me, you don't need to dress too formally." Li Zitao was afraid that she would make diamond-encrusted crystal shoes again, and look like she was covered in precious jewelry.

Maybe it was because he deliberately explained that the little elk just changed into a simple floral dress and short-heeled white leather shoes, and followed him out.

When the car stopped in front of Universal Restaurant, it was already full of guests.

"Hey, Mr. Li is here, please come inside." The second brother at the door was the same as last time, with sharp eyesight.

"Has my guest arrived?" Li Zitao asked with a smile.

"We're here, we're waiting up there!" the second brother greeted and went up to the third floor, the noise of which was much lessened.

"Boss, that's Jonathan." The little elk pointed to the corner and said.

Li Zitao led her to the corner, and Jonathan also turned his head to look at her, got up and said, "Mr. Li, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"I'm also happy, Mr. Astor." Li Zitao laughed.

"Jonathan, the name Astor doesn't belong to me." Jonathan spread his hands and said.

"My friends call me Charlie." At this point, the politeness is over.

Since it was a Chinese restaurant, it was Li Zitao who was in charge. After asking Jonathan if he had any taboos, he asked Xiao Er to serve today's signature dishes.

In addition, he specially ordered a bowl of tomato and egg noodles for himself: "Increase the portion."

"I heard from Jesse that you are setting up a meat processing plant in Chicago?" Li Zitao opened the topic while drinking tea.

"Yes, I am very optimistic about meat processing, especially canned food that is easy to store. They can be exported to other countries and create enough benefits for me in the current economic downturn."

"Oh, what do you mean?" Seeing Jonathan's confident expression, Li Zitao was a little curious as to where he planned to sell the canned food.

"Huaguo and Africa." Jonathan said.

"It seems that you already have a detailed plan!" Li Zitao said noncommittally, "I don't know how I can help you?"

"I want to be a beef supplier for McDonald's." Jonathan said bluntly.

"Oh?" Li Zitao raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, it really opened his mouth like a lion.

The other party made such a request at this time, naturally not because they valued the state of IL, but because they saw the current booming franchise plan of McDonald's.

"Do you have such great strength?" Li Zitao did not directly refuse.

"I don't want to monopolize the beef supply of McDonald's, but I want to be one of them." Jonathan suddenly realized that he didn't seem to understand.

"Canning only needs the neck and tendon to be crushed and compressed, and the head is used, the outer and tenderloin are supplied to high-end restaurants, and the chest, ribs and bottom plate should be supplied to food stores and butchers.

But now the grocery stores are closed and the butchers are deserted. "

Seeing Jonathan's bitter look, Li Zitao asked curiously, "Did you sign a purchase agreement with the farm?"

"Yes, and a lot." Jonathan nodded with a wry smile.

Long before the big crash, he had already signed the purchase agreement. All the plans were perfect, and who could have predicted this terrible disaster.

Jonathan originally planned to make other parts into high-quality cans, but as the disaster spread, all European countries and RB were affected, and he knew it would not work.

Just when he was worried, McDonald's appeared.

He has personally tasted the hamburger, and the patties used are made of breast and rib meat, which just fills his vacancy.

"I will find someone to talk to you about this matter." Li Zitao decided to ask Lawrence to talk to him. He is not good at this kind of specific negotiation.

At this time, the classification of meat has not yet appeared, and it is only distinguished according to the quality of the parts. Li Zitao is not familiar with these details.

As for whether to use his beef in the end, it is up to Lawrence and the managers of McDonald's to decide.

At this time, the dishes are served, four meat and four vegetables, mixed with Huaxi, the curative effect is remarkable...

"Boss, I also want Huaguo noodles." Seeing the red, yellow, green and white noodles in front of Li Zitao, the little elk swallowed and said.

"Here's a small bowl." Li Zitao's head hurts seeing her unpromising look.

Now that you are worth millions, can you pay attention to your image?

Then he asked Jonathan if he needed it. After the other party refused, Li Zitao picked up the chopsticks and began to eat "sucking and sucking".

After a few chopsticks are eaten, the noodles in the sea bowl will bottom out.

The little elk is still rolling and rolling with a fork...

"Comfortable." Wiping the sweat off his brow, Li Zitao was full of satisfaction in his heart.

"Boss, your appetite is so good." Seeing his eating, the little elk felt that the noodles in the bowl were even more fragrant.

Jonathan was also tempted by his seduction, and asked the waiter to add a small bowl, and after the first bite, he gave a thumbs up.

Mei Erye's noodles are good, delicious, chewy, and the flour is fine and fine. The toppings are fried to suit the taste.

Can Li Zitao, who was accustomed to eating all kinds of delicacies in his previous life, nod in praise, can it be bad?

The three of them were discussing while eating and commenting, when Li Zitao saw Second Master Mei 'thumping' up the stairs.

"Haha, Mr. Li and the guests had a great meal." As soon as he turned his head from the stairs, Second Master Mei clasped his fists and laughed loudly.

"Okay, it tastes great." Li Zitao praised with a thumbs up.

"As long as you are satisfied, the boys under your command are my big clients here." Second Master Mei sat on the empty left hand side and greeted Jonathan and the little elk.

"They are all compatriots who have left their hometowns. They should help each other."

"What Mr. Li said is that Mei Er hasn't had time to make amends for what happened before..."

Pressing Second Master Mei's wrist, Li Zitao said politely: "There's no need to apologize, it's not a big deal, just give me a discount from now on."

Looking at him dumbfounded, Second Master Mei nodded in admiration and said, "Okay, Mei Er has seen what is called bosom today."

Can Li Zitao lack his little discount?

It was obvious that he was going down the steps, so of course Second Master Mei would not fail to understand.

"Breast?? I don't have that thing!" Li Zitao glanced at the little elk next to him, but found that her bosom was much bigger.

"The last time Mr. Mei was performing in Chicago, he still wanted to meet Li Sheng. I heard that you are too busy. Mr. Mei is very sorry." Mei Er talked about Mei Lanfang.

Both of them are surnamed Mei, although they are not from the same family, but in this foreign country, it is inevitable that the new students are kind, and they have become friends.

"Yes, February is a bit busy!" Li Zitao said without blushing.

Compared with when he first came here, his face is definitely bulletproof now, and this kind of 'white lie' has become a habit.
