nightcrawler in los angeles

Chapter 78
"Actually, I really want to know how you plan to bring Meiao Paper back to life!"

"Now he can't find a timber supplier, so he is likely to face a lawsuit of 5100 million US dollars for failing to implement the contract of the Prince Paper Group. Can you tell me?"

Emilio Adams poured Tao Xi a glass of warm water again and asked Tao Xi seriously.

Tao Xi lifted the cover of the cabin and the sampan and snapped his fingers at Little Adams and said, "Little Adams, thank you for pulling the boat to the shore to pick up a person."

After getting Emilio's consent, Adams rowed the boat back to the pier. A very hip-hop-dressed white man stood on the pier with one hand in his pocket and kept looking around at the cruise ships on the river.

"Raven! Get on board!"

When Ruiwen saw Tao Xi, who had a cautious expression on his face, he instantly became happy.

Raven, who jumped onto the boat at once, aroused little Adams' dissatisfaction in an instant, but Raven didn't care, but went into the cabin with his arms around Tao Xi.

"Hey! Did you run the small plaza in Los Angeles County!"

"You did a good job. When I was in Koreatown, I was often robbed by those damn yakuza members!" Raven took out a Marlboro from his pocket and pointed at Amy. Leo threw one in his arms.

Emilio Adams looked at the cigarette in his hand and the extraordinarily escaped Raven with a dumbfounding look on his face.

Instead, Tao Xi waved his hand indifferently: "Don't talk about those unhappy things, how about the things I entrusted to you?"

"Hey! Me! Raven! The largest black market dealer in Los Angeles County, there is nothing I can't get for you." Raven patted his chest proudly and thanked Tao Xi: "But Tao Xi, are you How interesting! I just helped you a little last time, and you gave me such a big order, I really appreciate you!"

"This is all the wood smuggled in from the outside world that I collected in Los Angeles. There are a total of 280 logs. It should temporarily relieve their urgent needs."

"If the other party is not enough, I can transfer another ship of logs from Cuba right away. As long as the company behind you dares to accept it, I will dare to send it!"

Immediately, Raven stuffed the list of logs in Tao Xi's hand, and Tao Xi handed it to the opposite Emilio without even looking at it.

Emilio Adams still had a flat face at the beginning. When he saw that all the personnel lists in it were Soviet names, the words in Emilio's mind blurted out instantly: "All of them were smuggled from the Soviet Union?"

It was only then that Raven discovered that the well-dressed Emilio on the opposite side seemed to be his buyer, and Raven restrained his anger at the beginning and explained slightly nervously: "The reason why the paper price of American International Paper Group is It’s so low because they use logs smuggled from Cuba. Otherwise, how could the paper industry in Maine slump like this? And my price is very fair, I only floated up 4 points, I still see it For Tao Xi's sake, if you don't want to, then I have nothing to do."

"what the fxxk!"

"The price is so low!"

When Raven heard that the price was so low from Emilio, a smile appeared on Raven's face again: "Oh, only you people in Armani suits can say that! In the Soviet Union, as long as you There are supplies, there is nothing you can’t exchange for, and as for the dollar bills? No one cares.”

Rui Wen, who had understood the predicament of the Soviet Union in one sentence, stopped talking and showed Tao Xi a flattering smile from time to time.

"The backing of Oji Paper Co., Ltd. is nothing more than Mitsui & Co.! If you can solve the delivery dilemma of the US-Australia Paper Industry, the US-Australia Paper Industry will naturally be able to survive this wave of difficulties. As for the special paper technology that can make yen 】It is nothing more than a four-dimensional technology!"

"If you want to protect yourself, you'd better terminate the IPO plan of the United States and Australia Paper, and then it will be up to you big shots."

"I think you may have more experience than me!"
-
It was an exceptionally cold December in Los Angeles in 1984.

Sophie Marceau, curled up in the RV, was brewing a bottle of weird sauce with a bottle of ketchup.

The house diagonally opposite the caravan is very lively inside, and there is a long queue at the door, which is so lively!

Whenever someone came out of the house, those passing by in the RV would take a rare look at Sophie Marceau and drive away in their respective cars with dollar bills wrapped in newspapers.

Sophie Marceau seemed to be used to the sight of these people and didn't care at all, still concentrating on developing her sauce.

Suddenly someone hugged Sophie Marceau from behind, and Sophie Marceau turned her head and patted Tao Xi with her arm shyly: "Aren't you annoying! I'm still preparing for Hill to go tomorrow Check out Marco's meal!"

When Tao Xi heard that Sophie Marceau said that she was going to cook, he had a strange expression on his originally happy face.

"Oh, I think Marco will be happy, he has been thinking about your cooking!" Tao Xi turned his head and carefully wiped the hot dog residue that had just left on the corner of his mouth.

"Really? But he only ate a small bowl of the meal I sent last time." Sophie Marceau, who stood up from Tao Xi's arms with a frown, didn't notice Tao Xi's small movements, but went on again on her own. Once, she walked near the kitchen counter and studied the sauce in her hand.

"By the way, have you sent them all the money? I heard from Nelson that you have already sent 70 US dollars. Is your money still enough?"

When Tao Xi heard that Sophie Marceau had asked about him, Tao Xi hurriedly explained: "Enough! Why not enough! And, I have prepared a little surprise for you~ "

"Wow! What a surprise!"

Tao Xi saw Sophie Marceau who was actively throwing herself in his arms, Tao Xi patted her butt proudly, first kissed her hard, and then took out a piece of paper from his cuff as if by magic. Cheque!
"Hahahaha! Take it, and quickly pay back the old man's debt."

Sophie Marceau was stunned for a long time when she saw the $100 million Citibank check in her hand, and before Taoxi could react, Sophie Marceau's eyes turned red.

After Tao Xi sighed for a long time, he embraced Sophie Marceau in his arms!
Sophie Marceau has really worked hard for her in the past three months. Not only does she have to go to Hollywood every day to find opportunities to act in movies, but she also helps Taoxi go to the hospital to look after Marco at night. If it wasn't for Hill's vacation, Sophie Marceau might still be in the hospital now.

Although Sophie Marceau didn't talk about the difficulties she encountered in the film and television industry, Tao Xi knew it well.

Under the introduction of the professional Gerry Lively, Taoxi still knew the plight of Sophie Marceau. Sophie Marceau canceled the contract with the French Gaumont company with the support of Andre at that time. Gaumont Company is the same company as Hollywood in the United States. Although the French Gaumont Company may not even be ranked in the top ten in Hollywood, this company has a lot of promises in France.

After that, Sophie Marceau tore her face for Tao Xi and Andre. She, who was originally influential in the French film industry, suddenly became an actor with bleak prospects.

Although Sophie Marceau can receive some roles in Hollywood, but a well-known actress who has been held in the palm of her hand before has become like this, who will not feel sad?

Tao Xi is not a heartless person. As for Sophie Marceau choosing him, of course he will give her a better future!

The 100 million US dollars is what Tao Xi used to buy from those people, which originally belonged to Sophie Marceau. As for the subsequent plan, Tao Xi has not thought about it, but there is no unparalleled road, and Tao Xi does not believe in it. His ability can't pry any gaps in the huge Hollywood!
Just as Tao Xi and Sophie Marceau were lingering in the car, a woman who was dressed very neatly stood at the door of the RV with her hands folded and her face ugly, coughing.

Seeing that it was Jin Xizhen, Sophie Marceau ran out of the RV with a flushed face.

Jin Xizhen walked up to Tao Xi, pointed at his head and warned: "Tao Xi, don't forget, you still have two years to become an adult, if you do something excessive to Sophie, be careful, I will use it The guy who operates on cats will send you to Chinatown to be a monk."

Tao Xi lowered his head with his face flushed and did not say a word. Jin Xizhen muttered a few words when he saw Tao Xi's dead state, and threw the list in his hand on Tao Xi.

"This is the list of all the compensations on the [Small Square Incident] at that time, a total of 120 million US dollars, and a small amount of compensation was paid to each of them. I guess if you have another accident in the future, those people would like to sell you their lives! "

Tao Xi just smirked when he heard this sentence and didn't answer!

In fact, Tao Xi just wanted to keep those who helped him that day from not having a guarantee in the end. He should spend some money and save some money.

The 350 million dollars that Emilio Adams paid him is not much left now, don't look at the 130 million dollars left, all the money Tao Xi spent before can be paid by the cash cow of the hot dog shop Yes, if it wasn't for the group of people who followed him.

Maybe it's already broken up.

When Tao Xi finishes handling all the matters at hand, Tao Xi will probably be destitute again. Hill's tuition fee is one end, and Marco's hospitalization fee is also one end, although Marco's condition has basically recovered.

But the bigger the hospital, the more bullshit it is, and every day you are either asked to buy some healthy eating packages or some rehabilitation training.

If you don't buy it, those doctors will give you all kinds of exaggerated harm if you don't do it. Although Marco doesn't care, Tao Xi can't help it.

The days passed day by day, and [Neil Brothers Hot Dog Fast Food Restaurant] also ushered in his first rectification meeting.
-
The birth of [Neil Brothers Hot Dog Fast Food Restaurant] is actually just a coincidence!

At the beginning, Tao Xi just wanted to find a place where he and Marco could eat for free, and he didn’t have too many requirements for [Neil Brothers Hot Dog Fast Food Restaurant] Tao Xi~
But when Tao Xi really used the money, Tao Xi discovered his real vitality from these 15 restaurants. This restaurant not only earned 14 US dollars for Marko in just two months. The fee also covers much of the cost of Marko's follow-up treatment.

It was from this time that Tao Xi really began to pay attention to this restaurant, and Tao Xi always had a strange thought in his heart.

Last time he used the "delivery system" of this restaurant to find out everyone in the entire [US-Australia community]. If one day his restaurant opens all over the United States~
Then wouldn't he be able to investigate the information of everyone in the United States?

[Neil Brothers Hot Dog Fast Food Restaurant] As a company employing 75 regular employees and countless sewer child laborers, its management is not strict, and many store managers are because of Tao Xi and Neilta.

Their business is very casual. For example, today they saw a very hard-working child sewer worker earning only 4 dollars for a busy day. These shop managers will make up for them; Dafa's store manager will give them a hot dog with leftover meat; and some street bums will borrow money at the restaurant when they are sick!

These things were carried out under the instruction of Tao Xi, but the negative effect that followed was that the sales volume of the single store officially exceeded 7 US dollars. The net profit of the No. 15 store could only reach 5%.

This store is not a simple restaurant, but more like a complex business combination!
Newsstands, open-air cinemas, parking lots, restaurants, delivery, truckers' lounges, motels, these things come together to make it more like a rural farmers market combination.

Tao Xi was very surprised by the appearance of this kind of thing. He just wanted to provide more traffic to the restaurant at first!
But with Tao Xi's in-depth investigation, there are many problems in each fast food restaurant, so many that Tao Xi dare not continue to investigate. You can't expect some store managers who have come out of prison to have more self-discipline!
For this reason, Tao Xi took the initiative to study with two clients of [Neil Brothers Security Company], Mr. Old West, and Emmanuel Biddle, a professional manager of the US-Australia Paper Industry, in his free time.

The result was very satisfactory, so Tao Xi decided to continue to invest an additional US$100 million in [Neil Brothers Hot Dog Fast Food Restaurant].

For this reason, Tao Xi specially invited all store managers and Brother Neil to the venue, and Mr. Old West also served as the head of the strategic planning department. Currently, he is the only one in this department!

After all, a factory with nearly [-] people can withstand the siege of Mars Candy for so many years under his management. This old man still has something to do in business.

In order to better manage [Neil Brothers Hot Dog Fast Food Restaurant], Tao Xi set up nine departments under the advice of Old West.

Catering management department, magazine retail department, property management department, investment promotion department, takeaway distribution department, store manager training department, inspection and inspection department, infrastructure decoration department, supply and transportation department, these departments are not very advanced, they are all literal.

After this reform, the profit system and operating system of [Neill Brothers Hot Dog Fast Food Restaurant] became clearer.

Among them, the most profitable is not the catering management department, but the [property management department] and [merchants and franchise department] that Tao Xi is most interested in. 100% of the $80 million invested by Tao Xi will be used to purchase land , newsstands, parking lots and other formats, and the investment promotion and franchise department is not responsible for investment promotion, but for all purchased plots, newsstands, parking lots to attract investment and find operators!
50% of these operators are from the [Store Manager Training Department] under the supervision of Nelson. Most of these people will come out of Prison No. 86. You must not forget your roots. Tao Xi will not forget the hope of his godfather, and the rest 50% will be openly recruited by the franchise department for the society.

It's just that Tao Xi doesn't charge a franchise fee, but only collects a management fee of 3 points according to your turnover after collecting the corresponding deposit.

You may see this and you will say that in the catering industry, it is generally possible to achieve a profit of 3 points in the 80s.

What is the management fee of 3 points enough for?

At this time, the property management department will be on the stage, and the property management department will be directly managed by Tao Xi. Those operators need to pay rent to the [property management department] on time every month.

As for the infrastructure decoration and goods transportation at the beginning of the store, the headquarters will support a 3-month free period. After 3 months, each store needs to pay the fee to the department according to the regulations!

Do you see that the management cost of 3 points is still low?Quite a lot!

Tausi also neutralized Emmanuel Biddle's opinions after hearing the old West's suggestion. Although Tausi always felt that this person had problems with his character and management ability, he was in charge of the US-Australia Paper IPO listed.

If one of your companies wants to be admired in the future, you must go public, but there are many ways to go public.

When your business format reaches a closed loop, you can selectively choose business departments to go public, such as your property management company, such as your freight transportation department. The financial books of these departments are independent!

His funds are in normal circulation, as long as your store is always joined by people, then your other profitable departmental assets must be more and more popular with investors!
Tao Xi, who heard this, quickly understood these suggestions. Execution is the most reliable thing for Tao Xi.

Sophie Marceau, who received Tao Xi's endorsement fee of 100 million US dollars, became the spokesperson of [Neill Brothers Hot Dog Fast Food Restaurant] for a period of 5 years!
Then the house opposite the caravan that Nelson had been using to train the store manager became a temporary office building for [Neil Brothers Hot Dog Fast Food Restaurant]. Neil Brothers Hot Dog Fast Food Restaurant] has a completely new look.

The takeaway distribution department and property management department directly managed by Tao Xi also really let Tao Xi experience the addiction of commanding heroes.

But gradually Tao Xi became a little annoyed. Originally, Tao Xi's office could be seen every day, but Tao Xi was no longer seen.

Tao Xi sent Sophie Marceau to a Hollywood studio named "Summer Apartment" and walked towards the crew of "007 Thunderbolt".

Because Gerry Lively told him that Hollywood also has a lot of money-making opportunities for nightcrawlers!
