Text Chapter 415
The two took the coffee handed over by the nanny, and said to her respectively: "Thank you, Mary!"
"You're welcome, this is my job!"
Zhou Jiexi and Atwood sat in the living room, and the children and pets were sensible enough not to come over to make trouble. This also allows them to have a good talk. Instead of worrying about being disturbed by them.
As soon as he sat down, Atwood couldn't wait to say: "Boss, this time the watermelon auction is really beyond our expectations! I never thought that this watermelon was really priced at an average price of two hundred dollars." , the auction was in their hands. This is the first auction held, and the guests also intend to lower the price within this range."
Zhou Jiexi nodded after hearing this, "I also know this, but we can achieve this price, which is already very generous. The second and third times will be held in the future. It is estimated that the price will not rise too high. Next year It's still possible."
Hearing what Zhou Jiexi said was so accurate, Atwood was a little confused! "Boss, why is this?"
Zhou Jiexi smiled, originally wanted to pretend to be thirteen, but after thinking about it, let it go, he just looked at Atwood and said: "I have decided to hold a large-scale event at this time every year, and invite the rich and powerful to come and gather The other two times were for people who intend to buy watermelons and those who want to sell them again. Of course, if other people want it, they can also come to take pictures, but the quantity will not be too many."
Atwood's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he applauded Zhou Jiexi's idea in his heart. If his idea can really be realized, the popularity and exposure of the farm will definitely increase greatly in the future.
In this capitalist society, if celebrities or rich people and political figures are involved in everything, there are not many people who pay attention to it, and how high it will be can be imagined one after another. And some people who are not at this level will try their best to be able to participate in this party, hoping to get a ticket to this place.
Another point is that it can increase the influence of the boss in California. Now Jessie Zhou is a member of the board of directors of Apple, a very influential multinational company. Be nice to him.
Not only for the money in Zhou Jiexi's hands, and for him to invest in the local area to create a lot of jobs for them, but also as a clear supporter of the party. Zhou Jiexi still has a slight advantage in this aspect, which makes these people dare not offend him at will.
If it belongs to the Democratic Party, then we must have a good relationship with him. In the future, no matter canvassing or doing anything, you can ask him for a favor. And if it's from the Republican Party, then it's considered that they don't have a good relationship, and they definitely don't want to have a big conflict with him. In order not to be said to be yes, to attack partisanship, in the United States, it is basically not easy to mess with such a reputation.
Another advantage of holding this kind of event is that these guests will come to the farm and eat the wonderful food here, I believe they will be deeply impressed. This has a good publicity channel for the follow-up plan of the farm.
So Atwood hurriedly said: "Boss, your idea is really great! I am thinking about this plan now, how to cooperate with the farm to make follow-up plans. Maximize this value."
"Oh? Old man, what did you think of? Can you tell me about it?" Zhou Jiexi asked in surprise.
"The food here is very delicious. I believe that as long as the rich people who have eaten it will be impressed. Whether it is the chef's craftsmanship or cooking skills, these are actually easy to say. Our advantage in ingredients is everything else. It cannot be denied!" Atwood said to her eagerly.
"Well, this is indeed true! The ingredients from our farm are indeed very good!" Zhou Jiexi nodded to him in affirmation.
"And what I think about is whether we can open our own direct-operated western restaurant, become a chain brand, and put the best and most first-class ingredients in the farm into this chain western restaurant for sale. In addition, our farm is in these With the reputation of the upper class, it is not difficult to imagine that this business will not be bad." Atwood briefly explained the plan to Zhou Jiexi.
Zhou Jiexi pondered for a while, Atwood's plan was somewhat similar to what he had thought before, and he had also thought about this matter. However, at that time, there was no large amount of output on the farm, so the business was over. After eating the steamed stuffed bun made by the old lady, he thought of opening a fast food chain that mainly focused on steamed stuffed buns.
It is similar to the panda fast food in the United States, but the taste of my own ingredients is definitely much better than that, and the nutrition is also much better than theirs. This is why Zhou Jiexi believes that her fast food buns can occupy a place in North America. .
He has already asked Dahl to help him find the management personnel, and he has now opened a headhunting company. Although it is small, the short-term development is indeed very good. Zhou Jiexi is also very optimistic about him to do this job, this kid must not be bad, but the kung fu of poaching is really not good enough.
Seeing that the Baozi shop has started, Atwood now proposes to open a chain of western restaurants. When he thought about it, it was really possible to do this, which also made him a little entangled now, whether to make high-end ones first, or the current low-end ones.
Of course, this refers to the difference in price. In fact, there must be a difference in the ingredients. Although they are all produced by the same farm, it depends on whether it is good or bad. Otherwise, people spend so much money here just to eat food that you can buy for a few dollars in a bun shop?
"Old buddy!" Zhou Jiexi said slowly after contemplating for a while, "Your idea is not bad, it can fully utilize the advantages of our farm and grasp the core competitiveness of our farm. It will allow us to face a lot less competitive pressure from our peers.
"In addition, the main products are different, which will give us another batch of competitors. Also, don't be afraid, the chef of the restaurant will suddenly quit, or competitors will poach corners, as long as the ingredients are mastered In my hands, even if these people are dug up, it doesn’t matter, there will be more chefs to make up for it.”
"Then boss, do you agree with my plan?" Atwood said to Zhou Jiexi with a little joy, but also a little melancholy.
"Hehe..." Zhou Jiexi smiled first: "Well, your plan is very good. I think this plan can make money, so this investment is also acceptable. It seems that we can find a time to let it Completely appeared in front of us."
"Oh my god, this is really..." Atwood stood up a little excitedly, and even used some sentences a little bit unclearly: "This is really great"
It's no wonder that he was so excited. You must know that the former owner of the farm, the old man Bud, didn't expect the farm to produce any output at all, as long as he could earn a little every year. I don't want to invest in this at all, unless the county government is willing to sell the land. Atwood estimates that if the price is right, he will definitely buy it!
Guarding such a farm, he almost felt helpless to die. With such a small amount of money, it is really not a simple matter to expand the number of farmed animals on the farm. This is not to mention the expansion of any business, except for buying pasture and grass.
"Now that we've talked about this, old man, we have to have a good talk. This is related to a lot of things in the future." Zhou Jiexi motioned Atwood to sit down first, and then he began to say: " Earlier, I was already planning to open a restaurant!
"Wow, boss, it seems that our ideas are so close at certain moments!" Atwood said to Zhou Jiexi.
"Eh..." Zhou Jiexi felt a few beads of sweat fall off his face, and the debilitating sweat also came down. In fact, it was the old man who spoke, and it was really a bit of a joke. Even if someone Zhou didn't need to contribute chrysanthemums, then his feeling would not be any better.
"No, no, no, our ideas are a little different." He quickly denied, "Your plan is to take a high-end western restaurant, but I want to combine Chinese and Western food, or Chinese fast food. chain."
"The main food is Chinese food?" Atwood asked.
"I plan to sell all kinds of buns as the main product!" Zhou Jiexi said.
"Wow! Buns? I remembered, is that the kind of buns made by Ms. Yang?" Atwood asked hurriedly, looking at him with eyes full of energy, as if he saw a beautiful woman from afar , stared at her all the time.
Zhou Jiexi nodded, what was he going to say just now. Atwood said, "Ms. Yang's steamed stuffed bun tastes really good. I still have a deep impression on the steamed stuffed bun after I ate it last time. The taste is really delicious, and my mouth is full of water."
"Thank you for your compliment. I think my master will be very happy to hear that you have such a high opinion of her food!" Zhou Jiexi said to him with a smile.
"This is a fact, but I'm telling it now!" Atwood replied.
"Hehe..." Zhou Jiexi smiled, and continued to say to him, "My original plan is also like this, but I plan to increase the cultivation of some things so that they can be supplied to fast food restaurants in the future." It’s just that in the past, the output value of the farm was too low, and now this matter has been solved a lot, and the amount of ingredients in the farm has increased a lot!” Zhou Jiexi said happily.
