Chapter 100 Is This a Rebellion?

"Want them?" West rolled his eyes and said with a smile like an old fox, "What price are you willing to pay?"

"..." Li Zitao grabbed the beer and drank it down, happily said: "10 million."

Damn, money is a bastard, we earn it after we spend it.

He has enough property in his hands now, and it will take several years just to digest it, and if he doesn't know how to devour it greedily, it will only make everything messy.

The continuous gold-absorbing power of the Golden Arches can guarantee the development of the industry under his name. Li Zitao's money currently has no important uses.

The franchise fee for the first phase was as high as US$14.7 million. After excluding store construction and equipment expenses, the net profit was 20%.

This is just a small head. From the moment the franchise agreement is signed, the land lease fee of nearly 110 million dollars has already arrived. This is the real big head.

The area of ​​each store in the city is not less than 2,000 square feet, and the rental fee is 30 dollars/year, and the car restaurant is 600 feet, and the rental fee is 20 dollars/year.

The ratio of stores to drive-in restaurants in the city is about 2:1.

This is because the land in the suburbs is cheaper, and the franchise fee is a one-time charge, and McDonald's has the right to unilaterally terminate the contract.

Of course, there are certain conditions for the termination of the contract, for example, the franchisee cannot meet the assessment standards of McDonald's.

This is a very flexible condition. To put it bluntly, McDonald's says you can do it, but it doesn't work.

According to the analysis of the think tank, states with strong economic capabilities can accommodate 150 stores, and other states can also accommodate 100 stores.

And this number will increase year by year with urban development and population growth.

When McDonald's spreads all over the country, the annual rent will be 300-400 million US dollars, what a frenzy!

Next, the development of pastures, beef, vegetables, flour and transportation, the industrial chain from bottom to top will form a perfect virtuous circle, all of which will generate benefits.

So he doesn't need to worry about saving cash. Even if he really needs a large amount of funds, with the shares of Golden Arches, there are plenty of banks willing to provide him with loans.

Besides, Subway hasn't started to exert its strength yet!

Huaster didn't say anything about the price of 10 million. If it's really worth it, 10 million won't even take away the treasures around it.

"I planned to donate them to national museums everywhere." West took a sip of wine and looked forward with nostalgia, his distracted eyes seemed to be traveling through time.

"Everything here has a history that belongs to it, and that history is also part of its country."

"Why don't I keep it for you first, and we can donate it when the world is peaceful in the future?" Li Zitao laughed jokingly.

World peace, huh, huh, I won't see it in this life, and I won't see it in my next life either.

As long as there are people, there will be rivers and lakes. Unless the whole world is unified, there will be no peace in the true sense.

To paraphrase an old saying, "The five fingers are not the same length!"

"If it's okay, you can get out." West found more and more that the bastard in front of him didn't look like a Chinese at all.

It's not that he hasn't dealt with Chinese people before. The rich Chinese man with business all over the world, Wu Bingjian, they are friends.

"It's a pity that he didn't want to listen to my advice and come to the United States to develop." West thought a little sadly.

"I have something to do, I want you to come out of the mountain and help me manage a company!" West blew his beard and stared at him, wanting to push him away, what a joke, let him go to work.

You kid want to try my West's big knife, right?

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet! This company manages farms and land. In the future, it will be mainly used for raising cattle, growing vegetables, traveling and leisure,

I have a farm near Santa Barbara, just right for you to live in, where the climate is suitable and the environment is comfortable, you can ride horses and herd cattle, hunt, swim..."

Seeing West's face getting darker and darker, Li Zitao's mouth felt a little dry,

Smashing his lips, he said, "You, what do you think?"

cattle? Raising horses? Growing vegetables? ?

"It doesn't seem to be impossible?" West really missed that kind of life.

For an old man of his age, life in the city is not tempting. The reason why he stays here is more to take care of these histories.

Before meeting Li Zitao, West planned to process these treasures in batches, some of them were auctioned off without much meaning, and the money left was used to support his life.

Part of it is donated to museums in various countries, which can be regarded as accumulating good fortune for Habsburg, so that the world will not forget the glorious history of Habsburg.

If there is any surplus, then give it to the younger generations in Austria, although I don't know if they can keep these things.

But ever since he discovered Li Zitao, an interesting little guy, he became a little hesitant.

When did you first follow him?

West had noticed him since he ended Capone's reign in Chicago.

At first, because of his different style and boldness from the Chinese, West couldn't help but miss his old friend, Wu Bingjian.

But as time progressed and observed, including the first meeting, West fell in love with this little guy.

He is kind and bold, cruel and decisive, and never drags his feet when things happen.

Good at employing people, seems to be doing nothing all day long, but has steadily developed his own business, and has many genius new ideas.

More importantly, shameless enough...

20,000 dollars to steal his pocket watch, but he has the nerve to have the audacity to take away those porcelains, and call them 'vases'. '

West had never seen such brazenness.

"What do you want to do with these things?" West looked up at him.

"This wave is stable." Facing West, Li Zitao smiled brightly.

When the other party said that sentence, it meant that he had compromised in his heart, but he still couldn't let go of the decency and glory he once had.

So Li Zitao described a series of bright futures for him.

For example, a world-famous exhibition hall, for example, they will never be exchanged for wealth, for example, in the donor directory under each treasure, it says 'Habsburg. '

"Hmph, you still have a little conscience." The old man snorted arrogantly: "When can I move there?"

Thinking of riding horses and galloping every day, farming and fishing, occasionally lying on the lawn to bask in the sun, or going hiking and walking with neighbors, West can't wait.

"Cough, soon, I promise." Li Zitao did not dare to tell the excited West that there is not even a decent house in that place now.

After all, the old man is also a decent man, so we must get him a decent manor, right?

Under West's stern instructions, Li Zitao promised to prepare everything for him as quickly as possible, so that he could live a leisure life as soon as possible.

Li Zitao enjoyed the time of bickering with the old man, and felt like facing an enlightened elder, especially when he was reprimanded by the old man.

"Hey, how long has it been since I experienced this feeling." Li Zitao looked back.

West stood at the door of the store, and turned back to the store until the car was far away. This scene inevitably warmed his heart.

"Jessie, contact Bechtel and ask them to build a manor in Asa Ranch as quickly as possible. There will be ponds, swimming pools, and a miniature golf course in the manor."

Speaking of which, Li Zitao suddenly remembered the design of the Los Angeles SHIELD branch, and the drawings have not been handed in yet.

"Has the blueprint for the Los Angeles branch not been finalized yet?" Li Zitao's face was a little ugly. It's been almost two months, and a piece of broken blueprint hasn't been finalized yet?

"I'm going to make a call right away." The little elk ran out in a hurry. If she was caught by the big devil and vented her fire, her plan to have a party with the little sisters tonight would be ruined.

"What the hell, is Bechtel's designer just such a waste?" Li Zitao muttered in confusion.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the little elk walked in with a pale complexion. Seeing her submissive look, she knew that she must have done something wrong again.

"Speak!" Li Zitao said with a dark face.

"I, I forgot the drawings at home." Just after calling, the little elk remembered that the design drawings had already been mailed at the beginning of the month.

It's just that because of the McDonald's incident, the secretary's office and the think tank were busy going around. After picking up the package, she left it at home and forgot to take it the next day.

"Come here." Li Zitao hooked his hands and said expressionlessly.

"Wow~~ woo woo..." The little elk died.

After cleaning up the little elk that made mistakes, Li Zitao asked someone to accompany her home and brought the blueprints. As for the limp little elk, let her rest at home.

"Boss, here are the blueprints." Tia handed over the blueprints tenderly, and stood beside her with a smile, waiting for the boss's instructions.

After finally waiting for the little elk to be able to communicate with the boss in person, how could Tia let go of such an opportunity.

At this moment, she wished that she was the one who yelled 'oooh' in the office just now.

Just look at the Tiffany diamond watch accidentally exposed by the little elk, and the new LV and Chanel bags that are thrown on the table when you come to work.

The shoes worn on the feet, and the labels unintentionally exposed, are all high-end custom-made models from the shoe shop designated by the royal family and nobles. No one will be indifferent to this.

When it comes to luxury goods, even Li Zitao, the boss, is far behind.

"This style is interesting!" Li Zitao rubbed his chin unconsciously. To be honest, the blueprint in his hand made him a little surprised.

The building as a whole is designed as a cylindrical blockhouse with a total height of 35 meters and a diameter of 95 meters, with a total of 5 floors on the ground.

The radius of the circular facade of each layer is designed as a movable curved iron plate.

The roof of the building is a cockscomb-shaped apron, and a high-intensity signal transmission tower is hidden in the cockscomb, and there are missile defense devices. Various defense devices can also be installed on both sides of the building.

Even in Li Zitao's view, these are simplified versions of missile silos.

What interests Li Zitao the most is that it also has huge underground facilities, and there are text labels on each area.

Weapon research and development area, experimental area, storage area, safe house, dangerous goods isolation area...

Let's take a look at its building materials requirements, the whole body concrete plus granite, this is really going to be built into a wartime armored bunker!

"What is this for, rebellion?" If someone saw this blueprint, they would definitely get such an evaluation.

However, Li Zitao found it very interesting, especially the underground facilities, which suit his appetite.

"It will be built according to this standard. In terms of expenses, S.H.I.E.L.D. will pay 50% first, and Bechtel will pay the rest."

At first Li Zitao planned to finance the construction independently, but the cooperation with Morgan disrupted his plan.

Coupled with the fact that S.H.I.E.L.D. is operating well, Li Zitao no longer considers the matter of investing alone.

The overall cost of the bunker is as high as 20 million, and it is difficult for S.H.I.E.L.D. to pay for it in one go. It happens that Bechtel has made a lot of money recently, so it is better for him to pay in advance.

"Boss, do you have any other orders?" Tia asked unwillingly after seeing Li Zitao handed back the blueprint and then buried his head in the document.

"It's okay, let's go down!" Li Zitao said without raising his head.

Tia pursed her lips, and wanted to say something more, when there was a knock on the door, she looked up, and Sanier stood at the door smiling and said, "Boss, your bill has arrived."

"397,652,19.4 US dollars, really strict enough, can I just wipe it off?" Li Zitao smiled while holding the tax bill.

Sanelle pursed her lips and smiled, and said very gently: "Not even a penny less, trust me, you will never want to be entangled by the IRS."

Spreading his hands and shrugging his shoulders, Li Zitao signed the check and handed it to her, one less thing to worry about.
