Chapter 43 Planning for Newsstand Hot Dog Shop
An oil painting guaranteed to keep its value at $57 within a month at a pawn shop!

Tausi has seen it.

How much is $57 all put together!

Tao Xi also saw it.

In fact, Tao Xi is also very confused sometimes~
Some people spend money to watch movies, and Tao Xi can understand that watching movies can cultivate people's sentiments; Buying an oil painting with just a few horizontal lines on it made Tao Xi very puzzled.

"Finally sold that pair of oil paintings with some burning hands. I really can't figure out how much a little girl is worth standing under the street lamp!" Tao Xi sat in the RV and looked at the luxurious stretched Lincoln through the glass. Seeing the leaving back, Tao Xi couldn't help but slapped his lips.

Marco sat in the cab and looked at the rearview mirror and replied: "It's the first time I see a watch worth a house."

Jin Zhenxi saw that the two of them looked like they had never seen the world, and directly took out a [Los Angeles Daily] from the thick stack of newspapers on the table and handed it to Tao Xi: "I don't know why you buy so many newspapers every day. Well, you don't even know Roger Penske? He's the owner of Penske Automotive Group (PAG)."

"Penske Automotive Group Company? I haven't heard of it!" Tao Xi replied with a confused face.

Jin Xizhen didn't know what to say when he saw the indifferent expression on Tao Xi's face, but Marco seemed to remember something and turned around and said: "Tao Xi, the shop we bought the car at that time belonged to [PAG]!"

"Wow~" Tao Xi absent-mindedly hugged the radio and sighed cooperatively.
-
Jin Xizhen didn't stay long in Los Angeles County, and returned to Compton after helping the Tao Xi brothers clean their clothes.

But Tao Xi unexpectedly lived in the RV these few days, and Tao Xi's recent state is that he doesn't leave the door and doesn't leave the house.

Nierta and his group of younger brothers were sent by Tao Xi to collect information on the transfer of newspapers and periodicals on the street.

Marco received Tao Xi's reward of $200 and lived in Chinatown all night long. Occasionally, Marco would come back and bring Tao Xi a serving or two of Kung Pao Chicken.

"Nelson! Is your brother back?"

Nelson, who hired two waiters to help, got out of the newsstand when he heard Tao Xi's call, walked under the RV across the road and said, "He didn't come back all day yesterday."

"Oh, it's okay, can you see my plan? If we open 10-30 newsstand hot dog shops and provide delivery services within a radius of 3 kilometers and 30 minutes, will the business be better?"

Tao Xi put his planning form for the last half month in front of Nelson's desk for Nelson to see.

Nelson looked at the densely packed paper that Tao Xi handed him with many words written on it. At first, Nelson was a little confused.

But after a long time, Nelson still understood.

The meaning is actually very simple!
As a trainer, Nielsen trained each newsstand person in charge of the hot dog production process, and gradually increased their functions according to the daily turnover of each store.

First of all, the newsstand hot dog shop needs to improve their service attitude and service level, and needs to respect and add honorifics to every customer.

The second is to let the person in charge gradually increase the manpower allocation according to the daily income of the newsstand, and start to provide delivery services when the manpower cost and turnover reach positive expenditure!
"Am I going to stop selling hot dogs?"

Tao Xi nodded seriously when he heard this question from Nelson: "Yes! I think you are very talented in the research and development of hot dogs, and I think we can appropriately enrich our dishes, such as more French fries, cola, juice, Fried chicken legs, etc., give users more choices, and you will be the teacher of all stores in the future.”

"But... it costs a lot of money!"

"No, no, I've seen your account book. Our hot dog shop can give me 1500 dollars a month. I can get back the capital in just one year. This is a very good deal. If Maybe we can get more income through the takeaway service and the rich menu service!" Tao Xi explained to Nelson seriously.

Nelson couldn't help but fell into deep thought when he heard Tao Xi's words.

"You don't need to think about money. Recently, more and more people follow Nilta from Prison 86 in Los Angeles. Whether it's for your brother or for myself, I think we should find a way to solve the income problem for those people. gone."

Nelson looked up at Tao Xi and then at the piece of paper Tao Xi handed him: "Can I really be a teacher?"

"No problem, Nelson, you have to believe in yourself, you go to train them, if your level is high enough, you can also lead your apprentices to let your apprentices teach others, and you continue to develop new menus."

"Where did you know this? Tao Xi, I feel really powerful about these things."

Tao Xi couldn't help laughing when he heard Nelson's words: "Haha, I like reading newspapers. There are a lot of knowledge in newspapers."

With Nelson's promise and the newsstand information that Nilta collected recently, the money that was not warmed up in Tao Xi's hand was spent like running water.

A company named [Neil Brothers Hot Dog Fast Food Restaurant] was born, Tao Xi was the biggest boss, and the Neil brothers each took 20% of the shares. Those who worked hard got a total of 5% of the shares.

What followed was that this group of people who worked hard became Nelson's first wave of hot dog apprentices, and Nilta led a group of people to continue their work of finding "transfer kiosks".

There are a total of 15 newsstands in the first batch. The nearest newsstand is in the US-Australia community, and the farthest newsstand is in the Bay Area of ​​San Francisco.

These 15 newsstands cost Taoxi a total of 31 US dollars because of their location and whether they are lively or not. Taoxi also rented a temporary classroom for Nielsen in the US-Australia community.

[Neil Brothers Hot Dog Fast Food Restaurant] just started to open, and the Los Angeles Olympics is gradually coming to an end~
Tao Xi also finally switched guns and started working as a nightcrawler with his new equipment!

Tao Xi, holding a police recorder in his hand, sat on the back seat of the motorcycle and directed Marko constantly, and Marko, who was twisting the accelerator, continued to enjoy the sea breeze of Long Beach while the night was dark~
"Tao Xi, this is already the third crime scene we went to, but what if many policemen don't let us approach the scene?"

"It's okay, we're still newbies, I don't believe we can't find a suitable place for us to make money tonight." Tao Xi, who was shouting everywhere with his mouth open, replied to Marko with a look of resentment.

The sea breeze in Long Beach has a fishy smell, which Tao Xi likes very much.

From time to time, sweet female voices came from the police recorder in his hand, but what came out of this woman's voice was shocking cases one after another!

[246!246 cases occurred in Long Beach]

"Don't go, don't go, this is a residential shooting, this must not have much money!"

[273A!A child is detained in Los Angeles County.]

"This parent is really irresponsible."

[311!A Jewish woman called the police on the Long Beach Green Line subway, she was in a panic]

When Marco heard the endless criminal information in the police recorder, he couldn't help taking a breath and joked: "Actually, this street is not as good as our sewer, so that every time the sewer conflicts with others, We will also arrange a time and place, and when we get to the street, it will directly become a big fight if there is a disagreement!"

Tao Xi couldn't help but curled his lips and smiled when he heard Marco's words: "Actually! It's not us who are bad, but people's hearts!"

[213! 213! 213!There was a 213 case in the port of Long Beach, and the reporter was a South African captain. The situation in the port of Long Beach is chaotic after all, and police support is needed! 】

Tao Xi and Marco stopped their actions when they heard such a long sentence, and even the roaring motorcycle stopped on the side of the road under Marco's control.

"Is the Long Beach port far from us?" Tao Xi frowned trying to recall what "police code 213" represented.

But Marco took out a map from his pocket and looked at it carefully for a long time, then suddenly realized: "Taoxi! It's the entrance of the oil port, do you remember? We took a barrel of oil there and sold it to a few That time with a truck driver!"

"Ever taken a barrel of oil?"

"Others put it there and didn't want it. We used the resources reasonably~" Marko corrected Tao Xi immediately when he saw Tao Xi's serious face.

"Fxxk! 213 is the code for illegal possession of explosives! Long Beach is an oil import and export port! This is a big case, it must be a big case!" Tao Xi finally recalled everything under Marko's reminder, with an excited face Tao Xi even made his voice much louder.

"19 kilometers, estimated to be 20 minutes! Let's go~"

"Oh hoo~"

A motorcycle with the front wheels turned up is heading towards the Long Beach port in the police recorder. A homeless man lying on the corner of the street drank all the motorcycles in his hands when he saw Tao Xi and his wife. The beer bottle slammed in the direction the two were leaving.

With a "crash", the broken beer glass bottles shattered on the road~
A police car speeding past with its siren on, hit the streetlight with a "poof" as it passed the ground, and the homeless man who was standing saw this scene and shrank his neck and disappeared into the horns. Inside the corner.

A Los Angeles police detective got out of the car with constant curses, and when he looked at the tires of the police car, he kicked the door angrily.

"Call the Police Headquarters. I am Detective 6874. Our police car has a flat tire."

There was a moment of silence on the opposite side of the police station, and it took a long while before the other side replied, "Detective No. 6874, we have sent other police officers to maintain the scene. I hope you can arrive as soon as possible."

Agent No. 6874, who hung up the walkie-talkie, complained to his companion angrily, "I could arrive at the scene in 20 minutes, but I think it might be 5 minutes late."

"Let's fix the tire!"

===============================================
Although Long Beach is the second largest city in Los Angeles County, the population layout of Long Beach is very simple.

The first part is the northern part of Long Beach, where there are rich people who made their fortunes from oil energy; the second part is the central part of Long Beach, because of the developed tourism in Long Beach, most of the people here are practitioners in the service industry; the most complicated part is East of Long Beach, because it has the largest oil port in California and offshore oil exploration business, there are many immigrants here, and the east of Long Beach is also the area with the highest crime rate.

Serge Anthony had been in the United States for seven years as a Latino immigrant east of Long Beach.

As a sailor, he may not be at home for several months, that is, because this Serge Anthony is almost 30 years old and unmarried.

Bar-tank-apartment, three points and one line is his life, and the occasional one-day trip to Koreatown will make him brag for a long time.

The ordinary life and the life of the sailors made him a little irritable. He occasionally heard other sailors say that they would see shooting incidents in South African ports, and when Sercy Anthony was alone, he felt some inexplicable restlessness in his heart.

Guns, this thing is very common in Serge Anthony's view. Several sailors who have a relationship with him will carry a few guns with them, not to mention his high-risk industry, and the pirates near the Somali Strait are very violent. Because of the reason, Sercy Anthony also bought a revolver for $310 in downtown Long Beach under the persuasion of his friends.

After owning this pistol, Serge Anthony suddenly felt that his life was different!

In previous conflicts with others, Sercy Anthony had to rely on his muscles to entangle with others for a long time, but in a conflict in Koreatown, he pulled out his pistol, and the people on the opposite side were scared away.

This incident seems to have opened another door for Sercy Anthony~
When he went to South Africa to transport oil again, Sercy Anthony, who didn't like to disembark, disembarked with other sailors.

The sailors who got off the ship seemed to have released their own instincts, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and they were proficient in everything. They quickly taught Sercy Anthony to bad, and Sercy Anthony also made a small profit with his savings ~
Just before setting sail for South Africa for the second time, Sercy Anthony took out his savings and calculated that it would soon be enough for him to buy a house in Los Angeles County!

How can you not get your shoes wet when you often walk by the river, not to mention that there are no permanent victorious generals in the casino.

Sercy Anthony finally lost, and with his green eyes, he directly took out his revolver, which frightened his companions enough.

Because guns are banned in South Africa, you can do whatever you like on the boat, but you must abide by South African laws when you get off the boat.

Sercy Anthony ignored the dissuasion of his companions, and he also ransacked the casino. Although the small illegal casino in South Africa is not big, it still allowed Sercy Anthony to get 4 US dollars!
Sercy Anthony, who returned to the ship, also had some fears. When he was terrified all day long and was afraid of getting off the ship and being arrested by the police, a white crew member named Torres Adams found him!
