Chapter 98 Don’t Join Me, I’ll Show You if I Die

The two of them were talking about their family's troubles. Li Zitao glanced at Jonathan, and suddenly changed the subject and said, "By the way, does the Anliang Guild need beef?"

Second Master Mei was taken aback, then pondered, "Yes, canteens, butcher shops, and fast food are all inseparable."

"Some of our compatriots run farms?" Li Zitao asked casually.

"Yes, it's a little far away. Our Anliang's beef comes from a meat company." Second Master Mei shook his head regretfully.

"That's just right." Li Zitao clapped his fingers on the table, "Jonathan is preparing for a meat processing plant, and he happens to have beef on hand for sale, and the price is absolutely right!"

"Charlie, what are you talking about?" Seeing the two of them staring at him and muttering endlessly, Jonathan always felt a bit of coolness floating around under his back.

"Jonathan, I would like to introduce you officially. This Mr. Mei is the president of the Chinese Labor Union and the Anliang Association. Many of my compatriots run restaurants, butcher shops, and fast food.

Maybe your beef can be sold to them, of course, the main thing is the price! "

Li Zitao is not from Anliang, even if he is from Anliang, he is not good at making decisions for others when it comes to money interests, he just acts as a lobbyist in the middle.

McDonald's future consumption of meat and vegetables will definitely be contracted by the ranch under his name. Wouldn't it be better if Jonathan and An Liang could reach a cooperation.

"So it's the president of the Anliang Guild. I've heard of you, Mr. Mei." Jonathan stretched out his hand and smiled.

Second Master Mei continued to say that he was polite, and after the meal, the two began to talk about the quality and price of beef under Li Zitao's translation.

"For the sake of your compatriots, I can give you the lowest price, 65 cents per catty." Jonathan said.

"What's the price?" Li Zitao asked the simple price that Erye Mei could understand.

"It's okay, it's 5 cents less than the current one, but I don't know how the meat quality is. You must know that foreigners are very picky, especially my customers here."

Hearing what Second Master Mei said, Li Zitao turned his head and opened his mouth and said, "Jonathan, your price is too high. Mei's current purchase price is only 60 cents."

"Impossible!" Jonathan retorted immediately: "Unless they don't take care of the transportation, I can guarantee that there is no lower price than mine on the market!"

"Is the current supplier responsible for the transportation?" Li Zitao asked.

"Fortunately, they are transported to the door every time, but they don't help to move upstairs!" Mei Er smiled and nodded at Jonathan after finishing speaking.

"They were responsible for the transportation and moved to the designated place in person." Li Zitao said with a serious face.

"It's impossible, the cost of beef is at least 30 cents per catty, if so, they are losing money!"

Jonathan insisted that he would feel angry when he saw Mei Er's smiling face, "This damn guy is lying, there is no such good thing in the market."

Finding that Jonathan was staring at him, and his tone became more and more excited, Second Master Mei was a little depressed, "I said you were cheap, why are you still staring at me?"

"Jonathan, although they are my compatriots, you are also my friend. I won't make things difficult for you. How do you see this?"

Li Zitao feigned embarrassment and pondered for a long time, and said, "The price is 55 US dollars per catty. You are responsible for the transportation, and they will handle it by themselves."

"Charlie, I won't make any money like this." Jonathan had a wry smile on his face, and he glared at Second Master Mei as he spoke.

It's 55 cents per catty, and he's also responsible for transportation, slaughtering, and labor. Thank God he can earn 3 cents per catty.

"That's 56 cents." Li Zitao raised a finger.

If this meeting still doesn't understand what he means, Jonathan has no ability to double his assets in two years.

It seemed that he was given as a favor, but it was up to Jonathan to decide whether to give this favor or not.

Based on Li Zitao's performance today and the information he learned from Roosevelt, Jonathan believes that he is a trustworthy person who pays attention to friendship.

For such people, as long as they become friends,

He will never let you down.

"I agree." Jonathan said calmly.

He has never been an indecisive person. Rationality and decisiveness are his character. In order to gain Li Zitao's friendship, he is willing to conclude this "small profit" business.

When Second Master Mei heard the price quoted by Li Zitao, his eyes almost fell out.

"Is this foreigner stupid? Can he make money at such a low price?" Second Master Mei muttered to himself.

But he also knew that this was what Li Zitao won for them, and he was both grateful and emotional in his heart. This young compatriot is very resourceful and courageous!

After confirming the negotiation, both parties called their lawyers and spent 2 hours drafting and signing the documents, which was regarded as the first cooperation agreement.

In the next few days, Second Master Mei will spread the news throughout Anliang, and anyone who needs it can go to the Anliang Headquarters to sign the contract, and Jonathan's lawyer will stay there for half a month.

"Cheers to the cooperation!" Li Zitao, who had successfully pimped, was very excited.

This is a business that he single-handedly facilitated. Is there a sense of satisfaction?

"Boss, in fact, you have many such businesses in your hands." The little elk interjected beside him.

"Booty!" Li Zitao gave her a sideways look, his business?

Of course, it is left to the think tank to take care of it, otherwise why pay so much salary!

Occasionally, it's okay to make a guest appearance as a "matchmaker" for fun, let him be buried in the file mountain every day, tired like a dog, Li Zitao would rather be an otaku!

"If Anliang can't afford your output, other McDonald's will solve the problem, and you can negotiate the price yourself." Before Li Zitao left, he handed Lawrence's number to him.

Seeing the name Rockefeller, Jonathan's pupils dilated slightly, and a gleam of joy appeared in his heart, "This deal is worth it!"

Although the former Astor family was extremely brilliant, that has already become history. Compared with the current Rockefeller, their status has long been turned upside down.

Besides, the current him can't represent the Astor family.

...

After receiving a call from Ben, Lawrence, who was retreating at home, finally came out.

Dividing the family property is of course a joke. If he dares to do this, he may be disabled now and can wait to die at home.

Staying at home during this time, Lawrence is talking to different people every day to plan his future.

He is most interested in using money to invest in industries with potential.

Especially after McDonald's made efforts, Lawrence felt that this was a good business with huge profits.

Let someone with a smart mind grow the company, he just waved the money, supported them at the beginning, and waited for the dividends.

But his idea did not get the support of his father, John Jr.

"How can you ensure that your choices will not make mistakes? You need to make choices all your life. No one can succeed all the time, not even God."

Lawrence felt that what his father said was right, but he also had his own insistence.

He doesn't need to guarantee success forever, as long as he can guarantee that the rate of success is higher than that of failure.

In the end, he persuaded his father, got his support, and got a two-year "interest-free loan of $200,000," and was about to roll up his sleeves and do a big job.

"Come and work obediently!" Li Zitao summoned, and Lawrence's dream was shattered.

"Charlie, I don't know anything about catering." Lawrence, who was sitting on the lawn in District 22, couldn't laugh or cry.

"It's okay, you can study slowly, I'm optimistic about you! Sao Nian!" Li Zitao patted him on the shoulder confidently, with a serious expression.

"Look at the dog! I want to be a venture capitalist, not a restaurant tycoon!" Although there were some discrepancies with his plan, Lawrence finally gave in.

Who made him owe Li Zitao a favor in McDonald's stock!

20,000 U.S. dollars to invest 5% of Golden Arches, even when he hadn't shown his potential at the beginning, he still took advantage of it.

Now McDonald's is holding a franchise investment conference, and Subway under the Golden Arches is about to open.

Judging from the situation of McDonald's, Subway's results will not be bad in the end.

This makes Lawrence more and more indebted, and as a shareholder, he is also obliged to contribute to the company's development and growth.

In the afternoon, the Golden Arches held a press conference.

In fact, it was just a few benches, a wooden table, and a banner hanging behind it. After talking about it, the reporters took two photos and left with the manuscript and money.

The press conference at this time is so simple, unless there is any sensational news, or the giants want to announce some important news, it will feel a little bit tall.

This press conference is one thing, Lawrence officially assumes the post of CEO of Golden Arches.

There will be nothing else for them in the future, and the think tank will naturally use various polished manuscripts to start a big book.

1001 stories that had to be told between Rockefeller and the Golden Arches.

Hehehe...

Needless to say, this method works really well.

The four headlines of "Rockefeller" in bold and bold make this report popular with all parties.

The think tank also bought gossip channels in various cities, and the words "Rockefeller" and "McDonald's" can always be heard on the radio from morning till night.

Hot, hot, super hot!

It seems that overnight, the whole of America is crazy about the fast food named 'McDonald's', and people are scrambling to ask everything about it.

Even the homeless on the street are looking for a 'McDonald's' in their own city. '

It's not that they are panicking, but McDonald's announced that they will provide ready-to-eat meals, advocating capable families to buy food first, and put it in McDonald's for those who need it.

Every afternoon from 15 to 17 o'clock, each McDonald's fast food restaurant will provide meals for 20 people, "The world is warm, McDonald's, make the world warmer."

In Club No. 22, Li Zitao came to the office on a rare occasion and was enjoying the massage of the little elk leisurely.

"BOSS, these people are crazy." Ben held a stack of rosters in his hand, and before he could ask, he continued: "There are hundreds of people in every city, waving checks and wanting to get franchise rights, and the price is $6,000 , it doesn’t seem like a big deal to them, oh my God, are we really in the Great Depression?”

Other people's homes are closing, closing down, going bankrupt, eh~~

Putting it on McDonald's, it seems that countless rich people appeared overnight, bringing a lot of cash to Chicago, "Say, how much is it, I will show you if I don't join in!!"
