Chapter 227 Supermarket

West Africa, mining area.

Poor Lake has already left, and the mining area has resumed its usual busyness. The cars waiting to pull the mine are forming a long queue in front of the door.

The firepower points hidden between the sides of the mountains are still hidden.

There are fixed people who will deliver food and drinks every day. As for how many people are there, how often they rotate, and the firepower configuration, no one else knows.

bang bang bang—

On the training ground, the monk whose body has grown a little bigger is passively defending against the enemy's attack.

In front of him, Lilith was like a cheetah, attacking him as fast as the wind.

Whenever the fists hit his arms and waist and felt as hard as a rock, she would secretly curse in her heart, 'monster. '

This kind of sparring has been going on for more than ten days, and Lilith can feel that every day she has a new understanding of the battle, and her skills are gradually improving.

But for this man, she has absolutely no affection.

"Monk, stop playing, telegram from BOSS." A shout came from outside the training ground.

The first time she heard the sound, Lilith, who had been kicking sideways and punching with all her strength, immediately put her arms in front of her and bent her legs.

Boom!

There was a muffled sound, and Lilith flew upside down while her arms were stabbing, and rolled on the ground a few times in a panic, before she gritted her teeth and stood up.

The monk showed a simple and honest smile as usual, scratched his head and left the training ground.

"Damn bastard." Putting down her trembling arms, Lilith walked towards the medical tent, which had become her permanent apartment.

"Mobile team, Alpha - the location is kept secret." The monk looked at the telegram in a daze. This telegram seemed to be a small part of a complete sentence.

There is no connection at all, and the general meaning should be to find a place that is sufficiently secret to form a mobile team named Alpha.

"The chief instructor is coming?" Samode was paying attention to the news below. Wang Dagou would come to West Africa in person to take charge of the preparations for the extreme training camp.

"That's right." The monk was still thinking about the Alpha team.

"Oh my god! This is really a disaster, I should immediately make those bastards strengthen their training." Thinking of the lazy style of some brothers, Sam felt a little out of seconds.

"It's too late, the chief instructor is already on his way, a few days won't allow them to recover their physical fitness!" The monk smiled gloatingly.

As for the Alpha team, let's wait until Wang Dagou arrives!

...

Time passed quickly, and it was the end of the year in a blink of an eye.

The think tank and the secretarial office have been busy with the year-end awards recently, while Li Zitao was in his apartment in Lima, waiting for news from Aiken and McCormick.

The Washington government will announce the winning bidder today, and Li Zitao was a little nervous.

"Do you need some apple pie?" Celia, with a spring look on her brows, jumped onto the bed, holding a freshly baked apple pie in her hand.

"Thank you." Grabbing the American pancakes, the phone on the table rang at the same time.

"Hello." After taking a bite of the soft pie with plenty of fillings, a happy smile appeared on Li Zitao's face.

"My people can leave tomorrow." After finishing the call with Aiken, Li Zitao did not leave the phone.

Sure enough, the call from Cyrus McCormick came in.

"Cyrus, today is a day worth celebrating, have you opened champagne?" Li Zitao asked with a smile.

Cyrus, who was on the other end of the phone, laughed constantly, and the pleasant conversation lasted for 20 minutes.

"The Wood family won the bidding?" Celia sat cross-legged on the bed, with her mouth wide open without any ladylike image, biting the apple pie in her hand.

"Without a doubt." Li Zitao nodded and asked, "Will you come with me?"

"Forget it, I'm afraid Du Tanlong's heart won't be able to take it." Celia gave him a blank look.

Messi's relocation has ended, and this afternoon is his first appearance to discuss Messi's current situation and future development direction.

"Then I'll go first." Smiling at Celia, Li Zitao came to the living room, kissed Lima on the forehead who was preparing lunch, and happily left the apartment.

"Is he going to be busy again?" The discouraged Lima returned to the room, and it seemed that no one wanted to taste the hard-prepared lunch.

"Yes, did he invite you to his wedding?" Celia smiled slyly.

"...We should change the subject." Lima smiled calmly, brushing the broken hair on his temples.

In Shuanglian Building, Li Zitao went straight to the top floor of the 15th floor.

In fact, there are 7 floors in the shape of a square spire above Building A, but they are all apartments and are currently used by executives from think tanks and S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Charlie, you are really punctual." Looking at Li Zitao who appeared in front of him, Du Tanlong put away his pocket watch and joked.

"I'm very punctual." The two walked to the meeting room side by side.

"You don't need to welcome anything. Next, I will announce some changes about the company." Sitting in the main seat, Li Zitao got straight to the point.

"Macy's will be renamed as Hualian Supermarket from today, referred to as Hualian Supermarket. From today, all products will be provided directly by the production factory.

I want you to select the best quality suppliers for each product—"

Across wholesalers, form a connection between factories and supermarkets, greatly reduce prices, and use the data management model of a think tank to classify and integrate products.

It is subdivided into the unique number of each product, with diversified choices, and integrates the stores in each city.

For stores that are sparsely populated and open to small communities, they can directly choose to close down.

Integrate resources, open large supermarkets in medium and large communities, wealthy areas, wealthy areas, and open urban flagship stores in secluded areas of transportation hubs.

"Supermarket, you can understand it as a comprehensive self-service vending market. It implements open vending and allows customers to choose freely. Self-service, the goods we provide will be reasonably packaged and standardized products. Each product has a clearly marked price. In the end, here, the checkout counter is a one-time checkout—"

In order to let everyone have a clear understanding of it and know what it is, Li Zitao explained it for 4 hours.

It was not until their mouths were dry that these executives took the materials and left the meeting room with a half-knowledge.

"Charlie, I want to know how much profit we will get if we do this?" Du Tanlong was still flipping through the documents in his hand.

"About 10 percent." Li Zitao lied on the table weakly. He was really exhausted from this meeting.

"10%?" Du Tanlong pondered thoughtfully: "Open sales, such a large market, how can we ensure that theft will not happen?"

Stealing is an unavoidable problem.

Let alone the United States, where the economy is going from bad to worse, even in the 21st century in the previous life, things like stealing from supermarkets did not happen from time to time.
