Chapter 2377 Visitors

Although Marina Restaurant is no secret.

But most people really don't know that Chen Zhao has other industries.

McKinsey was also thoughtful and probably took the initiative to inquire about Chen Zhao's industry.

Maybe you can't find out anything else, but it's really not difficult for Marina Restaurant to find out.

McKinsey's request is actually very simple: sponsor the school team.

His asking price is not high, less than $20,000 a year.

Dashan Primary School has a basketball team and a cricket team.

Although Chen Zhao had previously sponsored one million US dollars.

But this money is indeed a huge sum of money in the hands of an individual.

But for an old school like Dashan Primary School, it is a bit stretched.

After all, all aspects need to be repaired, and some places even need expansion or additions.

Moreover, Chen Zhao also demanded that the school must be renovated.

So the funds left for activities or education have become a bit tight again.

That's why McKinsey asked Chen Zhao for money again in the name of soliciting sponsorship.

He knew about Marina Restaurant, although he had never been there.

However, as the most famous and upscale restaurant in Los Angeles, just think about it and you will know how much it costs to get in and out.

Those who go there to spend money are basically celebrities.

Either a wealthy businessman or a celebrity, there are few restaurants of this level in Los Angeles.

Generally speaking, this kind of restaurant does not do TV advertisements.

Because advertising will lower the quality of the restaurant.

Usually it means doing some soft advertisements in weekly magazines or newspapers.

Or in entertainment news, give entertainment reporters some money and ask them to mention Marina Restaurant in passing when reporting on celebrities.

Chen Zhao has asked Steven and James for help several times.

First, invite them to a restaurant for dinner, and then pay an entertainment reporter to report on it.

With Steven and James' current reputation and status, other restaurants would basically not be able to hire them.

Regardless of whether they spend money or not, they cannot advertise a restaurant for just one meal.

However, they were willing to help Chen Zhao, so that Chen Zhao owed them a favor.

Not to mention Steven, the cooperation between him and Chen Zhao was very pleasant.

He even reached the peak of his career because of Chen Zhao's help.

And James knows how powerful Chen Zhao is.

Not only Chen Zhao is familiar with Steven and Rasfa.

Chen Zhao also has great energy in the business world.

At least this time, due to funding problems for his new movie, the film company asked him for help and asked if there were any channels to raise funds.

James gave Chen Zhao a try.

As a result, Chen Zhao directly helped him obtain 60% of the budget for his new movie.

It is very difficult to run a high-end restaurant, at least in the early stages of opening.

Because advertising lowers the quality, but without advertising no one knows about it.

Just like Chen Zhao did at the beginning, he directly bought a ready-made one.

If it weren't for Nafa, Tang En was in a hurry to use money.

Chen Zhao may not be able to buy the shares of Marina Restaurant at such a cheap price.

The monthly revenue and net profit of Marina Restaurant are definitely worthy of the huge sum paid by Chen Zhao.

The monthly turnover of Marina Restaurant can now even exceed 20 million.

After deducting taxes, the net profit is more than 50%.

This is definitely a very high-quality industry.

Of course, this is because of some special ingredients provided by Chen Zhao.

Delicious and expensive.

Most people really can't afford it.

But in Los Angeles, the most indispensable thing is the rich.

And Marina’s restaurant has a lot of repeat customers.

There are countless celebrities among them.

Although journalists are not allowed in Marina Restaurant.

But if the star is willing, or the reporter is the one they found.

The restaurant won't stop you either.

However, because of the special positioning of Marina Restaurant, advertising is difficult.

Now spending tens of thousands of dollars to sponsor a primary school team is quite in line with the positioning of Marina Restaurant.

Of course, when it comes to things like rate of return, it’s basically useless.

After all, even if the varsity students wear the name of Marina Restaurant on their clothes.

No one will pay attention to it.

Unless they can compete at least on a continental level.

After visiting the school, Chen Zhao took the children and left.

When I got home at noon, there was no one at home.

Fali went to work.

However, the lemure has already prepared lunch.

After the family finished eating, they heard the sound of car horns honking outside the door.

"Master, Mr. Steven is visiting." The system steward reminded.

The lemures that were originally scattered around the house immediately sped up and finished what they had to do in a few minutes, returning to their lair at the same time.

After the door opened automatically, Steven drove the car into the parking lot in a familiar manner.

Chen Zhao was originally standing in the parking lot to greet Steven.

But as soon as Steven got out of the car, he cursed at Chen Zhao.

"You damn bastard, where have you been for more than half a month? Every time I call you, you don't answer, or you are outside the service area."

Chen Zhao shrugged and turned to look at the other middle-aged man brought by Steven.

Chen Zhao knew that Steven would not bring strangers into his home casually.

Even if you want to introduce a friend to yourself, it won't be in your own home.

"Hello, I am Li Te's father, and I am Drow Grove."

Chen Zhao was stunned for a moment. Is this Little Grove's father?

No wonder Steven brought him here.

"Hello, Mr. Zhuoer, I like your movies very much."

Zhuoer Grove chuckled. He didn't believe Chen Zhao's polite words.

Chen Zhao looked confused when he saw him just now.

Obviously he doesn't know himself.

Of course, he didn't come here to argue with Chen Zhao.

Mainly because the last time he invested in a movie, due to financial problems, it was his son who asked Chen Zhao to borrow money to get the movie started.

As for the new movie starring Steven, I learned from my son that it seemed that it was because of Chen Zhao's help that Steven hired him as the starring role.

Therefore, both emotionally and rationally, he should take the initiative to come over and thank Chen Zhao.

He roughly learned some of Chen Zhao's personal information from his son's insinuations.

For example, words like "very rich, very powerful, not to be messed with".

However, Zhuoer Grove didn't have any specific concept about this.

But when he saw Mirror Lake Manor, he knew how rich Chen Zhao was.

As an A-list star, his net worth is quite high.

But the manor in front of him can probably match his net worth.

He was curious about why Chen Zhao, a university professor, was so rich and had so many connections in Hollywood.

At first, he just thought Chen Zhao had some money.

But after auditioning for Steven's new movie, he was hired straight away.

He just kind of believed his son's words.
