Chapter 1535 Reunion

Aiden's injury was not serious, only a slight sprain to the ankle.

As long as you don't do strenuous exercise and rest for two days, you'll be fine.

Even so, Mary couldn't help but tell him a few words. As a father, he should be more careful, let alone hurt his child.

Li Zitao completely admitted his mistake and actively cooperated with his wife to prepare the Christmas dinner together.

Early in the morning, Li Xiaobin came with his family.

The rest of the family members in New York also gathered in Li's apartment.

"This is the Buddha jumping over the wall I asked the master to prepare, and it was stewed in the morning." When Li Xiaobin came, he carried a small stove with a dusty ceramic pot on it.

Li Zitao picked it up and smelled it, and the aroma immediately emerged, "Xiao Bin, you have a heart!"

Li Xiaobin grinned, and got into the kitchen to get busy.

As a hotel owner, he couldn't stop every time it was a festival, so he had to show his hands.

With him around, Li Zitao would not make a fool of himself.

Helping out with side dishes, serving dishes, etc., Aiden was sitting on the couch chatting with the other kids because of his injury.

It's just that he looked obviously absent-minded.

"Did something happen?" Seeing that he was always like this, Li Zitao stepped forward and asked; "Are you going to give everyone a surprise?"

Knowing what surprise he was talking about, Aiden shook his head and said, "I was just worried about Tina, she was supposed to be back last night."

"Didn't she go home?" Li Zitao asked curiously.

Aiden nodded and said, "That's right, but she said she would be back last night."

"If there are special circumstances, you should tell me."

Hearing what Aiden said, Li Zitao couldn't help jokingly said, "Why, why do you care about her so much?"

"What?" Aiden asked in surprise; "I just feel that many things are inconvenient without her by my side."

"Okay, do you need me to send someone to look for it?" Li Zitao beckoned to Farland in the distance, and asked; "Where's the address?"

"Flander knows, send someone to take a look." Aiden thinks it's better to take a look, because Christina is not such an irresponsible person.

Even if something special happened after returning home, she should have called.

She said last time that she had installed a telephone at home.

After learning about the young master's question, Farandi quietly withdrew, and he would naturally take care of the rest and bring him the answer.

"Charlie, come here quickly." His wife called from the kitchen.

Li Zitao spread his hands innocently; "The queen summons me, I have to take my leave first, gentlemen and ladies, see you later."

"See you later, Mr. Charlie." The little people sitting on the sofa all stood up, bowed and knelt in response to him.

The reason why Mary called him was that the family had forgotten to prepare garlic.

Today, she planned to cook a charcoal-roasted garlic oyster for her husband, but now the plan was disrupted, and she was very unhappy.

"I'll send someone to look for it now." Li Zitao has always fully satisfied his wife's needs.

With a snap of his fingers, the ghostly Farlander reappeared.

Li Zitao was really envious of the butler's ability.

He even considered whether to add the butler training to the training of Aegis. This 'summoning' alone can make them the most competent bodyguards in the world.

"Madam needs garlic, if anyone has it, please borrow some for me, I can pay double the price!"

Li Zitao remembered that many servants at home liked to eat garlic,

Their rooms might be pre-stored, which is perfect for emergency use at this time.

"Come soon." The almighty Farland came and came again, but when he came back, he had an extra sterling silver tray in his hand, on which there was only a layer of pink 'veil' garlic.

"You did a good job, Emperor Farren." Li Zitao took the tray and praised; "You must be the most competent housekeeper."

"Thank you for your compliment, sir." Farandi smiled politely and withdrew.

After handing the garlic to his wife, Li Zitao was idle again. This time, he focused on Little Mary who was playing with his fingers at the bar.

"Hi!"

"Hi!"

When she heard the greeting and looked up to see him, little Mary was a little nervous, but soon relieved.

Li Zitao poured a glass for her and placed it in front of him, Li Zitao asked with a smile, "How are you doing recently?"

"Very good." Little Mary grabbed the cup, and after taking a big sip, some nervous emotions were relieved under the influence of alcohol.

"Costco is developing rapidly, can you and Eric handle it?" Li Zitao has always been concerned about Costco.

It is developing rapidly in slums and middle-class neighborhoods, like a spreading virus, with three or five new stores opening almost every week.

Because it doesn't need too much investment, as long as you choose a good location and manage the relationship around you, everything will be done.

The relationship has been properly managed at the beginning. With the rapid expansion of Costco, the gang of gangsters is also expanding rapidly.

But they are not all using strong expansion methods, but opting for softer means.

It is easy for them to reach a cooperation with the person with the strongest strength in the other party's territory and ask the other party to take care of a few small cheap stores.

Therefore, Costco solved the most troublesome link in such a smooth manner.

However, money touches people's hearts.

There will still be idiots who are bold like trying to get a ticket, or who can't figure out the way to come up with ideas, and trucks will be stopped, robbed, and stolen from time to time.

But overall, the development of Costco is smooth.

It's just that little Mary and Eric didn't make much money here.

All of their money was reinvested in Costco's expansion, repeatedly squeezing margins and reducing costs while maintaining quality.

"Eric believes that cheapness will be the future trend, and I agree with him, so Costco's profits should always be kept at a lower level."

"Small profits but quick turnover, it seems that you understand this truth." Li Zitao said pertinently.

In this world, big business is not the only way to make money. Small business also has its way, just need some tricks and opportunities.

Now, they have found the opportunity, and they are also exploring the trick.

I believe that soon, Costco will truly spread all over the United States and expand outward.

However, it is not easy to achieve the step of external expansion.

With Costco's profits, they can only purchase locally, and it is not feasible to learn from other companies to use global delivery.

"Eric has already started preparations." Saying this, little Mary smiled proudly.

At one point, they didn't fall behind Li Zitao and took action.

At this moment, a mixed aroma suddenly rushed over, making little Mary's stomach let out a 'cuckoo' cry.

"It smells so good!" Embarrassedly rubbing her stomach, little Mary showed a once youthful smile.

In the kitchen, Mary's enthusiastic voice came: "Dinner is ready, Charlie, I need you."
