Chapter 517: New Year

The development of the Golden Arches in the Soviet Union was more than good. The real situation can be described as the green light all the way, and it has been cared for by governments at all levels.

This is thanks to the development model of the Golden Arches, a win-win cooperation, and the Soviet authorities also obtained a lot of technology related to food processing.

This is an agreement reached before, and the United States has not prohibited it.

It's just that their land has a limited number of years, and the Golden Arches only have 50 years of use rights, which is what makes the Golden Arches most dissatisfied.

But 50 years can also make the Golden Arches make a lot of money, which is enough.

Besides, most of these lands belong to special allocation, that is to say, there is no need to pay a penny. What the Soviet Union values ​​is technology, jobs and taxes.

Li Zitao focused on the immediate interests. In less than 20 years, the United States and the Soviet Union will enter the Cold War period. At that time, what long-term considerations will be considered, and everything will be handed over to you.

Taking advantage of the good relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union, it is right to make a fortune and leave.

During World War II, Li Zitao would ask the Golden Arches to package and sell all the Soviet business, and find a successor in their country.

All the processing factories and so on were given up, and only the franchise rights were retained. This must be kept in hand, otherwise during the Cold War, people opened McDonald's themselves, and there was no reason to reason.

Li Zitao did not comment on what Lawrence said was that the Golden Arches plans to open branches in RB, Australia, Brazil and other places.

He couldn't tell Lawrence that the little RB would come to attack Pearl Harbor in a few years, and then the old Americans joined the World War II and brought them two big mushrooms, right?

However, he still suggested that the branch should use a large number of local people, except for the necessary management and finance, all others should be recruited locally.

This is in line with the development policy of the Golden Arches. Let the local people show their faces and be responsible for the management. They only need to make a fortune in the background.

New Year is the favorite festival for young people.

Because today there is no need for any prayers, commemorations, various names and rules.

Since the early morning, the flow of people and cars on the street has decreased significantly, and everyone is staying at home to prepare a big meal for the day.

Mary was going to cook by herself today, and then little Mary, Yanyan, Fia, and Norma, mother and daughter who had just entered the door, all squeezed into the kitchen.

The servants have been on vacation since last night, and the only ones left in the manor are the bodyguards, and the rest, along with Dan and others, went back to reunite with their families.

The women were preparing the day's food in the kitchen, and Li Zitao was also busy in the study... on the phone.

Arrangements were also made in Liberty City. The servants would take two turns to take vacations, and Xiangzi, who was alone, would accompany Jiabao to celebrate the New Year.

Juliana, Celia, and Elena, none of them are easy to deal with. After the call is made, all kinds of conditions are negotiated.

After the new year, she divides a few days, she wants a few days, and she has a few days.

Li Zitao agreed to everything, and then called Ingrid Bergman.

"When are you going to come to Hollywood?" Bergman officially graduated in November,

Li Zitao originally wanted her to fly here, but she said that she would have fewer opportunities to meet her parents in the future and would spend the New Year at home.

"Number 6, will you come to pick me up?" Bergman said in a low voice, with a bit of shyness in her tone, she couldn't lift her head because of her parents' strange eyes.

"Of course, I'll let someone arrange it." After chatting with her for a few more words, the laughing and joking voices from the microphone made Bergman hastily hang up the phone.

Thinking of seeing him in a few days, Bergman's body became hot, and two blushes rose on his cheeks under the scrutiny and jokes of his parents.

His wild horse lady Lima, Canary Xiaodaiyu and Yan Meiren, Xu Man from the desert paradise, little stewardess Lily, seductive Joey in uniform, and acting like a baby in line.

Xiao Daiyu's obsession and resentment on the phone made Li Zitao's body almost go numb, and he decided to turn around and call this little fairy to his side to comfort him.

By the time he came out of the study, lunch was almost ready, and Mary's pineapple pie looked appetizing.

"Lunch is almost ready, is it over with you?" Mary put the pie on the table and said pointedly.

"En." Li Zitao nodded a little guilty, and said that he wanted to help as well.

"Go and see the water in the pool. The children are going to swim after lunch." Mary kicked him out of the house, not sure if it had anything to do with his behavior in the study.

I used the strainer to clean up the fallen leaves on the pool, and nothing else happened. The water was just changed last night before the servants left, and it was clean!

"Charlie, it's time to eat." Eric ran out from the back door and said to him with a blushing face.

The weather gradually turned cold at the end of the year, even in California, which is always summer. The cold wind from the north blows bitingly, but the house is very warm.

The big fireplace was burning red, and there was a flue in the gap between the two floors. The hot air swirled in it and then escaped from the upper hole, making the room warmer.

This is the same principle as the earth dragon in ancient times. Although the air conditioner is very convenient now, it is too noisy and the wind blowing out is too dry, not as warm as the earth dragon.

On the side of the castle under construction, it took nearly two months to design the piping circuit for the hot air in the interlayer of the floor.

In winter, the four large boilers are burning hot, and the water vapor evaporated after adding water can heat the floor of the castle. It will not only drive away the cold air, not look gloomy, but also maintain moisture all year round. .

It's just a bit of waste coal, and the four large boilers taller than a person cost thousands of dollars a month to burn them.

Needless to say, the lunch was sumptuous, but no one present could drink, all of them were juices with honey.

Since Buckle took his daughter back, he has given up drinking completely, and he only uses some drugs to control his mind.

Mary can drink some fruit wine, but she has finished drinking all the fruit wine brought from Luxembourg, and the fruit wine here is not to her liking.

Drinking alone is meaningless, so Li Zitao just drank a few cups and concentrated on dealing with the American crayfish in front of him.

Stretching 1 meter long and weighing 20 kilograms, it is quite troublesome to eat. The servants and cooks are on holiday, so Li Zitao can only come to prepare them in person.

There are many tools beside the table, but they are of no use to him.

With a squeeze of both hands, the shrimp claws thicker than his arms were squeezed open, revealing the white and tender shrimp meat inside.

Divided among the children, he broke open the other shrimp claw and distributed it to Sister Mary and Buckle. Li Zitao twisted the head of the shrimp, and the large pieces of shrimp roe dripped with soup, just like boiled honey, which was very delicious. tempting.

Deep-sea lobsters are not afraid of any heavy metals exceeding the standard. Li Zitao dug up the shrimp roe and shared them with everyone. He also dug a spoonful and put it in his mouth to chew carefully.
