Chapter 54 Oh, Woman

Sitting on the sofa, Li Zitao looked at Finon who was kneeling on the floor. There were too many things in the past two days. If it wasn't for Lao Huang's call, he would have almost forgotten about this person.

"Let's talk!" Li Zitao leaned on the sofa, enjoying the grapes peeled by the elk.

"Opium, 20g, ground into powder, that's mine." Finon had dark circles under his eyes, but his thinking was very clear.

He knew that he had caused a lot of trouble, and his only hope now was to convince the Chinese in front of him that he didn't mean to cause trouble for that white man.

"FK, I haven't taken your goods, and I've never even touched that kind of thing." Lawrence, who was still limping next to him, shouted excitedly.

"Who told you that it was on him?" Li Zitao asked after eating a grape.

"Laura," said Finon.

"Impossible, why would she do that?" Lawrence stood up, looking at Finon with disbelief.

"You let her steal my goods, you shameful thief." Finon spat on the ground disdainfully, Li Zitao frowned.

"This is my house, don't dirty it." The two stopped, and Li Zitao looked at Lawrence, "Who is Laura?"

"That's the girl I met outside the hotel." Lawrence's face was livid.

He knew that he had been framed, that Bichi had stolen Finon's goods and planted the blame on him, and now she was having a good time with whom.

"You were tricked by a woman?" Li Zitao had a sarcastic expression on his face.

"Hey, buddy, we're friends." Lawrence smiled wryly.

"So you were tricked by a woman?" Li Zitao continued to ask.

"FK...Okay! I admit, I was cheated by that bitch." No wonder he was bumped into by that woman as soon as he left the hotel, and she tried her best to seduce him.

Lawrence, who attributed it all to his charm at the time, now looks like a dumbass.

"Let him go." Li Zitao asked his subordinates to untie Finon, looked at Lawrence, saw that he just curled his lips and did not speak, and approved him a little more in his heart.

Li Zitao is not a murderous maniac. Since the incident happened for a reason and the other party did not cause any substantial harm to Lawrence, then he has learned enough lessons.

"Help me find that woman, otherwise I will still blame you for all this." Li Zitao pointed at Finon and made a motion of shooting, and he was taken away by his subordinates.

"Charlie, I owe you a favor." Lawrence sat on the chair and said weakly, the feeling of being deceived by a woman was not very good.

"Next time you want to enjoy the night in Chicago, bring my bodyguard." When Li Zitao promoted the business of S.H.I.E.L.D., he couldn't help but think of the feminist movement that died down due to the Great Depression.

The social status of American women in this era is not high, even though they have obtained the right to vote and carried out various feminist movements.

But most women are extremely vulnerable groups in the family, and domestic violence is as common as eating and drinking.

And many places do not allow women to enter, such as the New York Stock Exchange, and Wall Street where no company has female employees.

Men are king here, women are only suitable for housework, women in the country do the most menial jobs in factories or farms, and take care of everything outside the house.

And 90% of those ostentatious women dressed up on the streets are dancers or mistresses.

Even if some of them are not, they will be positioned as such.

Because of this, only a few women in the family dare to stand up and choose to fight, work hard, and speak out for their own rights.

This kind of cry has already attracted attention, and women from all over Europe are speaking out to help. Unfortunately, the Great Depression that spread to the whole world turned their previous efforts into ashes.

Country M in the previous life also had this problem,

It was not until the 1990s, when the third wave of feminist movement was launched, that the status of women in all walks of life was completely changed.

Independence, self-confidence, self-reliance, and no longer being afraid, women in country M defended their rights with their own actions and dignity.

In the previous life, the motherland also shouted 'equality between men and women,' and many women became proud of it, shouting 'women are not inferior to men,' 'women can hold up half the sky'

Li Zitao scoffed at this, they didn't understand the meaning of this slogan at all, it was to make them become self-improvement, not to be arrogant and arrogant.

On the Internet in the previous life, you can see relevant reports every day. The two parties on the blind date, the woman ordered a lot of dishes, and they didn't see each other well. When paying the bill, the man said that he wanted AA.

The woman said disdainfully, "You are a big man, you are reluctant to spend money for women, and you still want to find a girlfriend," and then walked away confidently, left, left...

Even if he agrees to AA face to face, he will complain all kinds of things when he goes back. Labels such as stingy, stingy, not a man, etc. have been slapped on the man.

This kind of thing is not just one or two things, but happens to many people every day, among them there are many so-called Bai Fumei, highly educated intellectuals, and elite white-collar workers.

And when it comes to dating, women basically have two mouths, and their excuses are also very confident, 'A man who is not willing to spend money on you must not love you...'

Or ‘It’s not that I insisted on him to spend it, but he insisted on giving it to me. '

Hehe, he doesn't spend money on you, but you fucking go out with him on a date!

Because of this, before Li Zitao's time travel, young people began to resist love and marriage more and more, there were more and more older couples, and the proportion of marriage certificates decreased year after year.

Let's take a look at how the girls in country M do it. Even if it's a boyfriend or girlfriend, I refuse to spend your money, even if it's your willingness.

For example, before you got married, you suddenly bought a house under her name. The first reaction of the girl is not to be surprised, but to ask you in surprise, "Why?"

They care more about your attitude than the house, why don't you discuss this kind of thing with her.

Of course, luxury houses with private gardens and infinity pools worth tens of millions are excluded.

Many couples in country M are financially independent after they get married, ‘I can make money, why do I need you to spend money for me? '

They will not put themselves on the weak side, and they will not let the economy be a reason for men to oppress them.

There is a separate account for family expenses, and the husband and wife deposit a fixed amount of money in it every month for various expenses of the family.

And if one party stops or reduces the amount for no reason, it will also be questioned by the other party, because this is the due responsibility of both husband and wife.

Maybe most people think this is hypocritical, or such a woman is very strong.

On the contrary, women in country M know how to take care of their husbands' face and dignity, pay attention to their husbands' psychology and men's naturally strong personality.

Every qualified woman in country M is also an expert in family financial management, because they deal with various financial matters related to the family every day.

Of course, except for gold diggers.

It is precisely because of such thoughts and actions that women in country M become truly independent, strong, and full of confidence.

When they shouted "equality, freedom", they first put themselves on an equal footing with men in terms of actions and thoughts.

As for those idiots who enjoy the convenience brought by all kinds of love and affection from men, and shouted 'equality', I can only respond with 'hehe. '

"Charlie, Charlie, hello..." Lawrence shouted with difficulty, and finally called back Li Zitao who was distracted.

"What's wrong?" Li Zitao scratched his ear and asked.

"I've heard about your plan. It's very interesting. Are you interested in cooperating?" Lawrence was talking about McDonald's and Subway, which are being established. '

"You want to invest in Golden Arches?" Li Zitao was a little surprised.

"Yes, I went to see your kitchen. It's an interesting invention, convenient, efficient, fast, transparent, and a great design." Lawrence praised.

When he was speaking, Li Zitao's brain was spinning rapidly, considering the pros and cons, and finally decided to agree to his request.

Although his father, John Jr., had many sons, Lawrence may not be able to inherit Rockefeller, but his surname itself was a powerful force and a focus of public opinion in many cases.

As long as Lawrence's joining is revealed to the media, the public will naturally associate the four words McDonald's, Subway and Rockefeller together, and the effect is equivalent to a top-notch publicity plan.

"How much money can you give?" Li Zitao asked.

"...$20,000." Lawrence was a little embarrassed.

‘I’m afraid you are an heir to a fake consortium! ’ Li Zitao frowned.

"Although my family is very rich, my life is no different from ordinary people since I was a child. I even need to work part-time to earn pocket money. US$20,000 is already a lot."

"20,000 US dollars, 5% of the shares, my investment in Golden Arches is 2 million US dollars." Li Zitao is already very kind.

If Lawrence hadn't been regarded as a friend in his heart, even if his surname was Rockefeller, he would not have received more than 2% of the shares.

"Deal." Lawrence was straightforward, and when he handed him the check, he said enviously, "Charlie, you are really rich."

To set up a new company casually, it costs 2 million US dollars, which is more than rich.

That night, after all the families came back, Li Zitao gathered them together again and asked about the selection of the store.

Most of the families have already selected the address, and they only need to wait for the lawyers of both parties to contact each other to negotiate a suitable price and sign the contract.

Only a few said that they were still hesitating. They found more than two favorite shops and were in a state of indecision.

Li Zitao gave a good suggestion for choosing difficult households.

"Buy them all, operate one by yourself, and rent out the other. The money in your hands will only depreciate, but the land will increase in value."

After listening to Li Zitao's suggestion, several family members expressed that they would go back and discuss it. After all, it was a considerable expense and they needed to be cautious.

Li Zitao didn't force it either. The Chinese people's habit of saving money has existed for thousands of years, and it cannot be changed overnight.

"The next step is to decorate." With his golden arches in design, you only need to hand over the drawings to the construction company for polishing, and then you can start construction, which can save a lot of money.

All decoration, equipment, etc. must be designated by the headquarters. Li Zitao does not want to get kickbacks, but to ensure quality and quality.

Food safety cannot be ignored. Although he wants to make money, he doesn't want to be infamous.

Besides, he was a victim in his previous life, all kinds of additives, heavy metals, waste oil...

Even if franchisees in other states want to join in the future, he still doesn't know how to play kickbacks. It's not where McDonald's really makes money.
