Chapter 228 Breaking Through the Embarrassment Of...

"Deterrence!" Li Zitao sat up and said coldly.

To scare chickens and monkeys, every supermarket will be equipped with S.H.I.E.L.D. security guards.

Once the theft is discovered, the security will give him an unforgettable lesson, or send him to jail to happily pick up soap.

Li Zitao knows that this cannot be completely eliminated, but at least it can scare most people, and only a small number of people are willing to take risks.

"In addition, let each supplier provide an explainer, responsible for introducing and promoting the functions of the product."

In front of each shelf, there is a person from the manufacturer. After waiting for the products to enter the market, once there is a problem of loss, the mall will first hold the explainer accountable.

Under the double guarantee of each family's self-vigilance and security, I believe it can have better results.

"How can we guarantee that we can get the price you want?" Du Tanlong could see the potential of the supermarket.

But he still has his own worries about Li Zitao's big move.

His so-called supermarket involves too many types of goods and the area is too large. With such an investment, the annual cost of the store will exceed $60,000.

Taking a town with a population of more than 100,000 as an example, at least four such supermarkets are needed.

There are more than 200 such cities in the United States. The investment in one city is 240,000 U.S. dollars, and 200 are 48 million U.S. dollars.

And that doesn't include big cities like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia.

More importantly, these are only the costs of the store itself.

Goods, the capital required for purchase is the bulk.

Du Tanlong is only roughly estimating that this amount will not be less than 100 million US dollars.

Where did Messi get so much money, unless he and Li Zitao invested money again, but the risk in it——

"The Blue and White Chamber of Commerce will inject 200 million US dollars into Hualian. Of course, you are also welcome to join, so that I can share some of my financial pressure."

The investment of 200 million US dollars sounds like a lot, but for Li Zitao who just got a large sum of nervousness, there is no pressure at all.

Jonathan's $150 million has been returned,

It took 6 months and 18 days, and Li Zitao waived the interest for 18 days.

The total repayment is 247.5 million, and the income in half a year is 97.5 million. No wonder so many people in the previous life like to engage in lending, and it is a huge profit!

"Are you really sure?" In business, Du Tanlong is not an indecisive person, but the change came too suddenly and his actions were too big.

"Will I use my own money to joke?" Li Zitao asked rhetorically.

"Okay, subscribe according to the share ratio." Du Tanlong decided to believe him.

The legend of Li Zitao continues to be staged in the United States. The more you pay attention to his past actions, the more you can feel his unconstrained style and no trace.

Seemingly scattered investments and unrelated industries are gradually forming a huge industrial chain with the passage of time and the integration of resources.

From Bechtel, the Golden Arches, to Li's Real Estate, this chain is fully mature from shop construction, to planting, breeding, slaughtering, transportation, and then to processing and selling.

There is also his S.H.I.E.L.D., whether it is the armed escort provided for the Golden Arches, or as I just said, arranging security at the supermarket.

Du Tanlong always felt that all developments were within his plan.

According to the ratio, Li Zitao needs to reinvest 130 million US dollars, and the remaining 70 million US dollars will be made up by Du Tanlong.

The funds just obtained were not warmed up, and they were all invested back in Messi, feeling a little bit tricked.

But at least Messi's market value has doubled, which sounds like good news.

— No, it's not Macy's anymore.

Hualian Supermarket, this is its new name, and Du Tanlong is not too sad about it.

Anyway, the name Messi itself has nothing to do with the Strauss family, but comes from the founder, Mr. Messi.

Compared with a name that symbolizes glory, Du Tanlong wants to see him get out of the current predicament and regain the title of retail giant.

A series of changes about Messi quickly spread throughout the United States through the media.

Within the company, the headquarters also notifies the state branches as soon as possible by telephone or telegram.

When they learned that the store was closed, they would go to the branch in their own state for training and resume work, and all employees were relieved.

Just not losing their jobs is the best news for them.

Building A of Shuanglian Building, Hualian headquarters on the 15th floor.

"Are we really not laying off employees?" The arrogant and glamorous vice president, Miss Celia Strauss, was sending out signals with provocative eyes.

Courtship, courtship, courtship—

"Come here." Li Zitao hooked his hands.

Walking in a sexy catwalk, her hips swayed from side to side, and as soon as she reached his side, Celia exclaimed, and was pulled into his arms and pressed under the table.

"Kengkeng, Charlie, have you seen Celia?" Du Tanlong knocked on the door and came in with a puzzled face. He couldn't find his daughter.

"No, did she leave first?" Li Zitao, who was reviewing the documents, raised his head and smiled with his arms crossed.

"I'll look for another place." Du Tanlong knew his daughter's temper, Messi was in a transformation stage, and there were endless things to do at any time, how could she leave.

"Ah, damn it, take it easy." Just as the door closed, Li Zitao leaned forward on the back of the chair and growled under the table in embarrassment.

"You bastard." Celia stood up wiping the corner of her mouth, and was about to say something when the office door was suddenly pushed open.

"Charlie, I think there is... yes... there..." Seeing his daughter sitting in Charlie's arms in disheveled clothes, Du Tanlong's brain went into a state of shutdown.

"I still have work to do, let's go first." Celia quickly adjusted the skirt and neckline, and left the office sideways from her father.

"Ahem, if I say she fell from above, would you believe me?" Li Zitao pointed to the ceiling with an awkward smile on his face.

There are tens of thousands of beasts galloping past in my heart.

"After finishing all this, we need to have a good talk." Du Tanlong walked to the table with a blank expression, put the documents on it, and walked out with a blank expression.

"Huh—" It's better not now, the day of his engagement is close at hand, if something goes wrong, he will have the desire to kill someone.

Hualian is making rapid progress, and the training on typewriter cash registers is also carried out in various branches. Hawkeye has sufficient experience in choosing a new store address.

With the assistance of the think tank, Hualian focused on negotiating and contacting with manufacturers, and selected the best products of its kind according to Li Zitao's requirements.

At the same time, Adelaide set foot on the land of America again, but this time she came with her and all family members including the Grand Duke.
