Chapter 55: Tonight, Hollywood

Rent collection is the biggest profit point for McDonald's.

Except for the 22nd and 24th blocks reserved by IL, franchisees in any place in the future must build their storefronts in the places he designates.

And the land under these storefronts has already been purchased by Golden Arches. Before the storefronts have been renovated, the headquarters will get the franchise fee and rent first. At the same time, the land under their feet is also increasing in value.

That's what McDonald's did in his previous life. Li Zitao, who has watched "The Founder", naturally wouldn't miss it. "If I didn't do real estate, but just fast food, McDonald's would have closed down long ago."

This is what Ray Kroc, who personally turned the small burger shop of McDonald's into a burger empire, said in a speech.

Of course, strict requirements are also essential. In the future, the Golden Arches will have dozens of departments such as Franchise Management Department, Market Research Department, Training Department, and Real Estate Department.

Strict review of franchisees, centralized training, irregular visits to the store, selection of new store locations, etc., are the top priorities.

Only the extreme can achieve excellence, Li Zitao likes this saying.

Let the little elk return to the company and bring back the contract drafted by Mahathir, and Li Zitao and Lawrence will finalize the cooperation in his somewhat dilapidated room.

"Lawrence, you will definitely thank me." Li Zitao said meaningfully.

"Of course, I believe in my own eyes." Lawrence was equally high-spirited, and his hearty laughter echoed endlessly in the room.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and Wang Dagou finally found the shooter, and the reason why the other party did this was because they didn't like them.

Commonly known as 'revenge society. '

Li Zitao didn't think of such a powerful reason, so he said to Wang Dagou, "You can figure it out," and he put the matter behind him.

"Mahathir, has the builder's selection been completed?" Li Zitao sat in the office, playing with the Pixiu handle that he brought over from West's store.

"The think tank suggested that the Golden Arches acquire a construction contractor to be responsible for future construction. It is now easy to recruit workers outside." Mahathir said bluntly.

"Do you have a goal?" Li Zitao was right when he thought about it. From now on, the business volume of Golden Arches alone will make the company's life enjoyable.

"Bechtel in San Francisco is well-known and well-run, and the acquisition is very cost-effective." Mahathir knew that the data would be interrupted again, so he used the analysis of the think tank to answer.

"Okay, I agree." The next step is to wait for the store decoration to be completed.

"What about Ace?" After relaxing, Li Zitao thought of the theater again.

"The restructuring has already begun and is expected to be completed by the end of the year."

Need a month?

Li Zitao then asked: "Is the Chicago Grand Theater also included?"

"Of course, there are other shareholders in the theater, but the think tank does not recommend buying all of them. In the cold winter, we need to hold together to keep warm so that we can wait until spring." Mahathir is saying that they should share the losses. Now is not the time to watch operas.

"Buy them all, I like it." Li Zitao said firmly.

Rolling his eyes helplessly in his heart, Mahathir wrote this down in his notebook, who made him the boss!

"How is the business of SHIELD recently?" Li Zitao has been busy with the Golden Arches, and has not paid attention to the news in half a month.

"This month's business growth rate is 143 percent."

"What about Building 400 and Opera House 13?"

"Opera House No. 13 has entered the final stage of negotiation, and the final transaction price should fluctuate around 900,000 yuan. Negotiations have just started for Building No. 400, and the other party's offer is 26 million yuan."

The difference between having a building and not having a building is really big, Li Zitao secretly complained in his heart.

"By the way, after the establishment of the new construction company, try to recruit as many people as possible,

The new building after the demolition of No. 13 Opera House was also handed over to them for construction. "

Originally, he planned to find a construction company in country D, but now that he has his own construction company, of course he has to take care of his own business.

"Recruit more Chinese workers and people from country D." Li Zitao couldn't hold back his words.

"In addition, the acquisition of Pepsi has been negotiated. The final price is 2 million, including the secret recipe you want from BOSS." Mahathir brought him good news.

"Very good, then give this plan to Pepsi, I need them to redefine the product, young, unlimited! How about this?"

He is bombarded by various advertisements every day, and he can come up with a bunch of slogans at any time.

"Sounds good and full of expectations." Mahathir's mood was complicated again, "Is genius really inseparable from eccentricity?" '

"Oh, by the way, about the name of the new company..." Li Zitao lowered his head in thought.

Mahathir has already complained in his heart, "BOSS's eccentricity has flared up again."

Li Zitao searched in his mind for a long time, and a lot of "China Railway", "China Construction" and "Tiejian" popped up, which made him feel a little headache and rubbed his forehead.

This is not 'Tsingtao Beer,' a tongue-twisting name that is not only difficult to translate, but also more like a person's name. If so, why not call it Charlie Lee!

"Charlie, can I go?" Lawrence walked in through the door. He has now resigned from the First National Bank and runs around with Li Zitao every day.

When he was in the club, he spent time in the think tank, and Li Zitao was not easy to stop him, who made him a member!

"Forget it, let's use the original name, and I'll talk about it when I think of a better one." Li Zitao felt that his knowledge was getting insufficient, "Should I consider remaking it?" '

In his current status, finding a university for advanced studies is very simple.

"Charlie, your life is so boring, as boring as a priest, don't you need to enjoy it?" Lawrence complained to him on the way home.

'dull? That's because you don't know what a dead fat house is, humming happy songs, drinking happy water, relying on takeaways for meals, and saving all garbage. One house lasts three (sa) months. ’ Li Zitao didn’t bother to pay attention to him. After this guy recovered from his injury, his restless heart began to restless again.

"Hey, we're supposed to go to Hollywood tonight." Lawrence rolled his eyes again.

"Man, you need to know that it takes 5 hours to get to Los Angeles from here, and it's... 1 o'clock in the afternoon." Li Zitao took out his pocket watch and glanced at it.

"Hey, what does that matter, Hollywood at night is more charming." Lawrence persuaded unwillingly.

"Night? Are you sure?" Li Zitao smiled sarcastically.

"...We can bring bodyguards." Thinking of what happened that night, Lawrence also had lingering fears, but it was impossible for him to give up his young life.

"Okay! You convinced me." Li Zitao decided to go crazy with him, and he could see that he was almost exhausted in the past half month.

"Who is the goddess in the 20s and 30s??" Li Zitao thought for a long time, his mind was blank, and the shallow knowledge of the fat house couldn't hurt him!

What can I do, I am also very desperate!

Sitting on the plane, most of the previous excitement disappeared. Li Zitao looked out the window weakly. Except for the occasional light, everything was pitch black.

"Charlie, we're going to find hot girls, cheer up." Lawrence yelled, covering his mouth with his hands.

The noise of the engine was so bad, 'Maybe I should buy a private jet? '

After Li Zitao decided to go back, he handed over the matter to the think tank. He didn't believe that the plane experience at this time was so bad.

"Oh, Hollywood... here I come." As soon as he landed, Lawrence jumped down with open arms, as if embracing the whole world.

"Are you rich?" Li Zitao's leisurely voice came.

"Ka~" Heartbreak, money, money is gone!

"Charlie, we are brothers, it's up to you tonight...you can't let me stay here alone." Seeing that Li Zitao didn't even lift his eyelids, Lawrence looked bitter.

‘Hey, it’s also a rich second generation, this kid looks like he picked it up. ’ Thinking of those rich second generations who were worth tens of millions in the previous life and showing off their power, he felt sympathy for Lawrence.

John D. Rockefeller, the founder of the family, the world's first billionaire, made Rockefeller grow into a behemoth decision maker.

He founded the Standard Oil Company and created the concept of a "trust" monopoly monster. His net worth is equivalent to about 305.3 billion US dollars today.

Moreover, he was also the greatest philanthropist in the 20th century. From 1915 to 1929, he donated a total of US$1 billion in wealth, which made Li Zitao very admired.

By the way, there is also the famous Xiehe, which was founded in 1921 by the Rockefeller Foundation and Huaguo Medical Committee.

John D. Rockefeller Jr., Lawrence's father, the current head of the Rockefeller family, and the Rockefeller Center under construction in New York was his idea.

Protecting Redwood, Fort William, and the Palace of Versailles, paying attention to social issues such as environmental pollution, waste of land resources, and deforestation, Rockefeller has become a philanthropic pioneer.

As for Lawrence...

He has not been recognized by the family yet, so he can only hang around eating and drinking under the name Rockefeller, at least for him.

"Lawrence, why are your grandfather and father so keen on...charity?" Sitting in the car, doing nothing, Li Zitao raised this question.

He also wants to do philanthropy and is planning it, but Li Zitao thinks he can't do it like Rockefeller's horrific philanthropic investment, which is comparable to a "prodigal".

"Don't you think that because we have more wealth, we need to create more value for the world?" Lawrence said solemnly.

"The New York Times says your grandfather donated half of your fortune, your father is doing the same thing, and you have other siblings, don't you worry about it, the future?"

"Charlie, you may have misunderstood us." Lawrence smiled, "A family is a family, and I, just Lawrence, have grown up in this family,

I have vision, resources, experience and opportunities that others do not have, why should I wait to inherit a fortune? Instead of creating your own business? "

Lawrence looked at him seriously and said, "Aside from allowing me to enjoy a luxurious life, what value can that money bring?"

"..." Comrade Lawrence Duxiu, please sit down, I will give you full marks for this beep.

"Tonight, I pay for it myself." Li Zitao performed his nirvana.

Seeing Lawrence collapsed in an instant, Li Zitao was full of satisfaction, 'If you pretend to beep again, your face will swell, believe it or not? '
