I can see the commodity price curve

Sure enough, as Zhang Yue expected, after a round of auctions, McLauris's endorsement was snapped up like crazy.

For example, the teaching aid industry was snatched up by Zhou Zhiming from Wusan, with a bid of 2.6 million.

Baldhead was previously endorsed by Usain Bolt, and his sales of must-read questions increased by 15% in just a few days.

Nearly half of this fifteen percent belongs to Wusan's market, which makes him anxious.

Plus a few million is nothing to someone like him.

It's just that the teaching aid materials are not like toothpaste, washing powder and other daily necessities, and the indiscriminate advertising is not very targeted, so he didn't pay attention to it.

Now that I see the results, I won't be stingy.

This is true for the teaching aid industry, not to mention other industries.

For example, in order to get McLauris' endorsement of liquor, which has a relatively high profit margin, he invested 50 million directly.

When the results are calculated, Zhang Yue has received 360 million in endorsement fees in this wave alone, and in China.

Not only did he get back all his money, he also made 80 million.

He is also preparing to play a few more games in Europe, the United States, and Southeast Asia.

Another big sum came down.

Seeing Zhang Yue's proud look, Shi Manman couldn't help but said, "Weren't you not very interested in this before?"

Regarding the World University Games, it was only Tianyou Decoration Company and Mendeleev who talked about it at first.

When Shi Manman reported to Zhang Yue, Zhang Yue always said he didn't care.

The other party's point of view is that Tianyou Decoration Company can't handle all the business in Zhongzhou, so there is no need to look at the whole world.

She was quite depressed because of this matter, especially after winning the bid, Zhang Yue took the initiative to give up the decoration qualification.

Although the transfer of qualifications happened for a reason, it was Shi Manman's hard work, so sarcasm is inevitable now.

Zhang Yue chuckled: "I didn't know sports could be so profitable!

It was my fault before, and I apologize to you.

In this way, no matter what Tianyou Decoration Company does in the future, I don’t care, everything is decided by you, okay?

Including the McLauris endorsement fee, I also invested all of it in Tianyou Decoration.

Haven’t you long wanted to develop into surrounding areas? This money will definitely help you. "

As a result, Shi Manman shook his head: "You can't ignore it, especially now."

Zhang Yue was stunned: "Now? What's wrong now?"

Shi Manman smiled bitterly: "Of course it's the Paris Olympics.

Didn't I tell you before? As long as we hold this Universiade well, we will have the opportunity to cooperate with the Paris Olympics and win the decoration work of the other party's main stadium.

Although the World University Games is not completely over yet, we have succeeded.

Even through your series of operations, the Universiade, which was originally destined to lose money, made a profit.

So I actively communicated with the other party, but the result was very unsatisfactory. "

Zhang Yue frowned: "Not ideal? Is it because the organizers of the Paris Olympic Games don't like our decoration style?"

Now his attitude towards cooperating with the organizers of the Paris Olympics has also changed.

No matter what, the benefits of being able to get the decoration rights for such a world-class top event are far beyond imagination.

So as long as he can fight for it, he still wants to fight for it.

Shi Manman shook his head: "No, the other party is very satisfied with our decoration style.

Especially the service attitude reflected in the decoration style is very in line with the romantic feelings of the French.

They will refuse because of our food problems. "

Zhang Yue was a little confused: "Food problem? What does this have to do with food?"

He was surprised that the decoration of the main stadium should be based on the design style and engineering quality.

Therefore, in Zhang Yue's opinion, the other party's concern should be the unexplained collapse of the Zhongzhou Gymnasium.

Although the matter has been clarified, Zhang Yue also used advanced design skills to repair the Zhongzhou Gymnasium.

But for the French side, because they don’t know the specific situation, they mistakenly believe that this is just an emergency solution they have made to ensure that the World University Games can be held smoothly, which is understandable.

As a result, the other party didn't mention a word about it, but only talked about the food, which was outrageous.

Shi Manman spread his hands: "I didn't understand it at first, but after communicating with them, I found that the organizers of the Paris Olympics planned to renovate the main venue and tied it to the dining issues of athletes and staff during the Olympics.

In other words, if we want to win the decoration rights of the main venue of the Paris Olympic Games, we must also be responsible for the food supply.

But the problem is that our domestic food safety has always been criticized.

Especially two months ago, cans shipped to France from a domestic cannery were detected to contain saccharin.

This matter caused such a big fuss there that French officials even issued targeted documents to restrict our domestic food exports. "

Zhang Yue was dumbfounded: "No way? Something went wrong with the cans again? These profiteers!"

He just couldn't complain.

Regarding the canning industry, it was once very popular in China.

Many people after the age of 40 remember the various cans placed on the counter of the canteen when they were young.

However, with the development of society, canned food has gradually been eliminated from the market.

First, eating fruits that are not as fresh as ready-made ones.

Second, in order to save costs, many canneries have replaced the white sugar originally used to make canned fruits with saccharin.

No one knew about this until the 1990s, when these cans were sent in large quantities to Russia, which lacked fresh fruit.

Due to the extreme cold there, many cans and bottles were frozen and cracked.

Later, after Russian official inspection, it was found that all the frozen cans had illegally added saccharin.

Since then, the credibility of domestic cans has collapsed.

Not only foreigners don’t like to eat it, but Chinese people don’t eat it either.

I spent a lot more money than fresh fruit to buy canned fruit that is no longer fresh, but you still treat me to saccharin?

The negative impact of this incident was slowly eliminated after ten years.

Coupled with the cheap domestic labor and low fruit prices, the international market was opened again.

As for domestic... I'm sorry, working people are more vindictive.

If you cheat me once, I will never eat canned food from you again in this life.

Zhang Yue originally thought that after those canneries learned their lesson, they would vigorously rectify the market, especially strictly inspecting products sold abroad.

did not expect……

Wait, he suddenly slapped his forehead and looked at Shi Manman: "Isn't it right?

Let’s not talk about the canned accident. Even if there is no accident, we don’t do catering. Naturally, we will not be able to provide food for athletes and staff. "

Shi Manman looked at Zhang Yue with a strange expression: "Don't you have an October Food Factory? Why don't you do catering?"

She clapped her fingers and said, “Although the October Food Factory focuses on the delicious series, with a little adjustment, it can open restaurants all over the country in a short time.

In particular, you also have Guoyue Supermarket, which can provide all the raw materials needed by restaurants, killing two birds with one stone. "

"Don't worry, why do you make me more confused the more you talk?

Yes, I do have October Food Factory on my hands.

But the problem is that October Food Factory’s Juewei series has been cooperating with roadside stall owners across the country.

Once I open a restaurant, it will be like taking away the business of those roadside stall owners.

That’s not how business works. "

If Zhang Yue is willing, he can completely turn all the barbecue stalls in the country into his own. After all, the Juewei series is in his hands and he does not provide supply. Other stall owners will either lose their jobs directly or resell other products.

Consumers have accepted the taste of the Juewei series and will definitely come to consume it as long as restaurants open.

But in that case, Zhang Yue would have offended all the roadside stall owners.

Again, when business has reached the point where Zhang Yue is now, the focus is no longer on the business itself, but on interpersonal relationships.

If it causes anger and resentment, it will only do harm to Zhang Yue, but no good.

In addition, if you want to open catering stores across the country, you not only need a lot of capital, but also an extremely strong catering team.

Now that he is just managing the workers of Tianyou Construction Group, their scalps are numb and he does not want to cause trouble.

Shi Manman said: "You misunderstood, I have no intention of letting you open barbecue restaurants across the country.

Moreover, barbecue is popular in our country, but it is different in France.

I want you to cook western food. "

"Cooking Western food?" Zhang Yue waved his hand quickly, "Let's forget it!

I've eaten Western food before, but I really can't get used to it. "

The Western food Zhang Yue talks about is not KFC or McDonald's, but the kind of authentic Western food.

Zhang Yue feels that the food provided in KFC and McDonald's is actually pretty good.

Especially burgers, he can eat several in one bite.

But real Western food is different, such as pasta.

In Zhang Yue's opinion, this thing is just uncooked noodles. It tastes hard inside and very chewy.

There are also some things with weird tastes that always leave a half-cooked feeling in your stomach.

Although you can make money no matter what business you do, you have to like it first.

If you don’t have confidence, it’s better to give up as soon as possible.

So he looked at Shi Manman again: "How about forget it!

I really don’t want to get involved in catering. If you want to cooperate with the Paris Olympics, you might as well find one of those world-class catering companies.

Just tell me which company you think is suitable, and I will be responsible for talking to them. "

This is the most suitable solution Zhang Yue found.

Since the French side has concerns about domestic food safety, they also value the services of Tianyou Decoration Company.

Then put aside the domestic catering industry, look to the world, find an excellent catering company, and cooperate with them to establish a new company.

The new company includes the catering services of the other party and the decoration services of Tianyou Decoration Company, and then uses the name of this company to connect with the organizers of the Paris Olympic Games.

This saves time and effort, and doesn't affect your own money. It's the best of both worlds.

Unexpectedly, Shi Manman shook his head: "I have thought of this plan for a long time, but it doesn't work at all."

"It doesn't work, why?"

Shi Manman looked at him: "Why do you think the organizers of the Paris Olympics bundled decoration and catering into a public bidding process?"

"Yes, why?" Zhang Yue was confused.

"It's simple because no one wants to be in a losing business."

Speaking of this, Shi Manman sighed: "Maybe you don't know that when they decided to host the Olympic Games, the Paris organizers didn't want to accept it at all.

In other words, their hosting qualification was actually forced upon them by the World Olympic Sports Committee. "

"Force them?"

"Yes, the reason is very simple. Hosting the Olympics is a standard money-losing project.

Our country will take over at that time, and the main purpose is to show itself to the world, so as to use the Olympic Games as a springboard to promote the improvement of the national economy.

So for us, whether we make money from the Olympics is not that important.

Of course, our Olympic Games did make money.

But this money-making is mainly due to the strong support of domestic wealthy people, the selfless dedication of a large number of volunteers, plus some constructive ideas and opinions.

This is a special case that other countries simply cannot follow.

Especially Paris, as the core city of Western countries, it does not need to rely on this to prove itself..."

"Don't worry." Zhang Yue suddenly interrupted, "Since Paris is unwilling, why would the World Olympic Sports Committee forcefully give it to him?

This doesn't seem logical at all. "

Although the Olympic Games are losing money, many countries are still eager to try, such as India.

In order to demonstrate its identity as an ancient civilization, India's third brother is very willing to host an Olympic Games.

But the problem is that the World Olympic Organizing Committee did not give him a chance at all.

Shi Manman naturally understood what Zhang Yue meant: "There are many problems here.

The Olympic Games is not only a sports event, but also about national strength, world influence, especially political demands.

There are three most powerful economies in the world today.

The first is the beautiful country, the second is the European Union, and the third is our country.

Although we have surpassed the EU in terms of economic development, in the minds of people around the world, the EU has always been second.

As the second brother recognized by everyone, if he cannot get the right to host the Olympic Games every once in a while.

Its international status may not be guaranteed. "

It turned out to be the case.

Zhang Yue instantly understood what Shi Manman meant, but at the same time he felt helpless.

Maybe this is the so-called slapping someone in the face to look fat!

Shi Manman said: “So here’s the problem.

Now that Paris has taken over this matter, what they have to do is to reduce the cost to the greatest extent.

So the organizers of the Paris Olympics created a special bundle.

Divide all the preparation work before the event separately and calculate which projects make money and which ones lose money.

Then, a profitable project and a money-losing project are bundled together and tendered to the whole world.

Among them, the decoration of the main stadium makes money, but providing catering services to athletes and behind-the-scenes staff loses money.

They just tied these two items together.

We are not fools. It’s okay to leave money-making projects to them, but forget about money-losing projects!

Especially for catering services, not only is the work trivial, but the expenses are also very high.

It is recognized by all companies as a super money-losing product.

It’s too late for anyone to hide from such a project, so how can we take the initiative to take it on? "

Zhang Yue instantly understood Shi Manman's difficulties. When she went to those catering companies to cooperate, they would definitely refuse!

Unless Shi Manman is willing to share the proceeds from the renovation of the main stadium with the other party.

But as a result, Tianyou Decoration Company will not make any money.

If you don't make money and have to work for nothing, it's better to lie at home and take a rest.

He looked at Shi Manman: "According to what you said, even if I open a restaurant, it won't work, right?

After all, the purpose of a restaurant is to make a profit.

Don't tell me you just want Tianyou Decoration Company to make money and catering restaurants to lose money.

Then you get the bonus from Tianyou Decoration Company.

As for the restaurant, it belongs to me and has nothing to do with you. "
