1850 American Gold Tycoon.

Chapter 71 Elizabeth's Request (Second update! Please read more!)
"Mr. Liang, can I come in?"

As soon as Vanderbilt left, Elizabeth knocked on Liang Yao's office door.

"Miss Elizabeth? What can you do?"

Liang Yao closed the document he was reviewing, put down the pen in his hand and asked.

After obtaining Liang Yao's consent, Elizabeth walked in and moved a chair to Liang Yao's desk, and sat down facing Liang Yao.

"I want to do business with my father, but my father thinks that learning to do business is something for boys, but I don't think so. Your cousin is younger than me and can manage a bank for you in order. I I envy her very much for having such an enlightened cousin like you." Elizabeth said enviously.

"It's useless to envy my cousin, and her ability is not as strong as you imagined, you have to talk to your father about this." Liang Yao said.

"I've discussed this with my father, and he gave me a thousand dollars and promised that as long as I spend a year turning that thousand dollars into three thousand dollars, I'll prove to him that I have a talent for doing business, and he will He promised to let me do business."

As she spoke, Elizabeth took out a stack of one-hundred-dollar bank notes issued by the North Bank of Lexington and played with them in her hand.

"Since I was a child, this is the first time I have received so much money from my father. He has always been stingy. He is sure that I can't turn this thousand dollars into three thousand dollars within a year."

"It shows that your Vanderbilt family has a good family tradition."

Liang Yao never asked about Elizabeth's age. Westerners look more mature in adolescence. It is difficult for Liang Yao to deduce Elizabeth's exact age from her appearance.

But Liang Yao knew that Kony was 19 years old this year. If Elizabeth called Kony her brother, she must be younger than Kony.

In 1829, Vanderbilt had developed a small shipping company with only one ship into a large company with seven ships. Liang Yao didn't know whether Vanderbilt had become a millionaire by this time. A rich man, but his economic conditions in 1829 were definitely not bad.

Elizabeth was born after Vanderbilt made a fortune, and Vanderbilt still did not indulge his children financially, which shows that he still has strict discipline on his children.

"What's the use of that? After getting the money, isn't Kony just like those playboys in New York?"

Elizabeth complained about her brother.

She was about the same age as Coney. When she was a child, Elizabeth often teased Coney with her mother's love. The relationship between her and Coney was the best among all brothers and sisters.

Coney had turned into the kind of person she hated the most, and Elizabeth was having a hard time.

"I think you came to me today because you want me to give you an idea, how to make three thousand dollars with the one thousand dollars in your hand within a year?" Liang Yao guessed Elizabeth's intention.

Elizabeth nodded furiously: "My father spoke highly of you, and when we first met, he offered you cigarettes. There are very few people who can make my father offer cigarettes, so I would like to invite you Give me an idea.

I am sure that I can turn one thousand dollars into fifteen hundred dollars within a year, but three thousand dollars is too difficult for me, especially now that the economy in the United States is not doing well. "

At this time, Strauss brought two cups of tea. Elizabeth took the tea from Strauss and thanked Strauss.

Liang Yao took a sip of warm tea to moisten his throat.

He thought to himself that Kony became what he is today because of family reasons. If he could know some family situations of the Vanderbilt family, he might be able to bring Kony back on track.

Kony will become his employee, but he is also a hot potato. He doesn't want Kony to remain just a waste who only eats, drinks, whores and gambles, causing trouble everywhere in California after becoming his employee.

Of course, he could also choose to deal with Kony coldly, but it would be difficult for Vanderbilt to explain this.

"I can show you a way to get rich and let you complete your father's request within a year, but in exchange, I want to know something about your family, that is, something between your brothers and sisters and Mr. Vanderbilt. story."

"My dad used to say that he had a big family, but no one was going to make a difference, especially my older brother and younger brother, George Washington, who just got him in trouble."

Elizabeth had a bitter look on her face, and she took Liang Yao as a confidant, and talked to Liang Yao about the past between her family members.

His father devoted himself to his business and was often away from home. In the early years, he didn't even ask about his brothers and sisters. It's only been better in recent years.

Elizabeth and her brothers and sisters grew up with their mother Sofia, and occasionally helped her mother run the hotel, because they all lived on the income from running the hotel, and their father was very stingy with family members.

Her brothers and sisters complained about her father, especially Kony, and Kony even talked about my father who came out of nowhere and married my mother in his busy schedule, and then gave birth I am such a burden.

Of course, Kony also paid the price for his quick tongue, suffering mixed doubles from Vanderbilt and Sophia, and being unable to get out of bed for an entire week.

The reason why Elizabeth remembered it so clearly was that she delivered Coney's meals every day when he was sick in bed.

"If I have a family in the future, I hope that my husband will not be like my father, who only cares about business and ignores family."

After finishing speaking, Elizabeth said with emotion.

"I think you will find a qualified husband, Miss Elizabeth, tell me how you plan to use the thousand dollars." Liang Yao coughed dryly twice.

Talking about business, Elizabeth regained her spirits.

"Originally, I planned to purchase some furs here to sell back to New York, but due to the impact of the gold rush, everything in California is more expensive than New York, so it is not a wise choice to purchase goods here."

"Have you inspected my restaurant?" Liang Yao asked.

"The restaurant where you sell sandwiches and hamburgers?" Elizabeth replied.

"I've researched it, and it's a good idea, but I only have one thousand dollars, and I can only open two restaurants like yours in New York at most, and I want to use two restaurants to recoup the capital within a year and earn two thousand dollars, Kind of unrealistic.

After all, I can't sell sandwiches and hamburgers as expensively as you in New York, and I also need to pay you to buy food recipes, which is also an expense. "

"You don't need to open two, you only need to open one. You only need to spend half a year working hard to run the restaurant well, start the business, make a name for yourself, and then spend a little money to advertise in newspapers to recruit franchisees. Business." Liang Yao provided Elizabeth with a brand new way of thinking.

"Join?"

Elizabeth took out a pen and paper from her small bag, and listened carefully to Liang Yao's words, for fear of missing a word.

"It's a new business model. The franchisee will provide you with a one-time considerable franchise fee. Of course, you can also get a certain commission from their operating profits later.

And you only need to authorize them to use your store name, and provide food recipes to guide them how to operate.

If you are a little more black-hearted, you may also take over the decoration of their shop and earn the difference from it. You may even ask them to only buy ingredients from you, and the price of ingredients is determined by you, the lord.

Of course, the premise of all the above is that you will attract franchisees only when you make the first store a success.

I suggest you open a fast food restaurant near Wall Street or near the construction site. They are the busiest people in the city and have very little time to eat. Fast food is very attractive to them. "

Liang Yao thought of himself working on Wall Street in his later generations. In order to save time at work, he often ate fast food, so much so that he suffered from physical problems in the end.

"Very Inspired!"

Elizabeth felt a sense of enlightenment, she seemed to see Xintiandi, she looked at Liang Yao with admiration.

"My father was right, you're a business genius! You can make a fortune even in New York!"

"Maybe, but it's harder than in California, and I'd rather make money in California than in New York.

Miss Elizabeth, I have to remind you that the barriers to entry for catering are very low. I can only assure you that this model can make money in the early stage and fulfill your father's requirements. Later, you will meet more and more imitators And competitors, whether you can continue to make money at that time depends on your personal ability. "
