Chapter 12 That's a Good Idea
Leave the garage.

First, I found a Wal-Mart to buy some daily necessities.

Currently staying in the Four Seasons Hotel temporarily, there are only some basic daily necessities in the hotel, and there is no place to buy them on Lanai Island, even online shopping cannot be delivered.

I happened to be in Honolulu, so of course I had to take the opportunity to make purchases.

Su Rui also hoarded a bunch of canned cat food, cat teasers, catnip, etc.

Occasionally, when encountering interesting snacks, Daju stretches out his thick and short claws to point, and Su Rui, a shit-shoveling officer, will help to take them down, which is a bit like a "humanoid ATM machine".

After calling and asking my mother, I also helped her buy some products such as toothpaste, shampoo, sunscreen, etc. A shopping cart was quickly full, and I was satisfied to go to the checkout.

Secretary Amanda is not squeamish. After buying the bill, she took the initiative to pick up the shopping bag and introduced to Suri:
"Actually, there is no need to buy so much. There is also a supermarket on the island of Maui next door, but the variety of goods is not as complete as Wal-Mart. It should be because of the relatively high cost of freight and delivery. Online shopping malls like Amazon would rather open up the European market. , did not come to Hawaii to do business, although the local population is only about 100 million, the consumption power is actually quite strong.”

After listening.

Su Rui said with a smile:

"Mosquito legs are also meat. Maybe I can support one or two local shopping websites and sell them directly to Amazon at a high price. After so many years of burning money, this company has finally started to make a profit. Sooner or later, it will pay attention to the market in Hawaii. "

"Boss, this is a good idea, and the price of luxury goods in Hawaii is cheaper than in California and New York. A Chanel handbag costs 800 US dollars in Los Angeles, but it only costs [-] US dollars here. Attract the attention of tourists, place an order directly from our website, and deliver it to the hotel where the tourists stay."

Although Amanda's secretary is now helping Suri with Lanai's affairs.

But this woman graduated from Harvard Business School and went to McKinsey Consulting Company for training. If she didn't have any real skills, how could she have been spotted by Su Rui and selected from a bunch of profiles to become his personal secretary.

Suri continued:

"When Amanda is free, help me find a suitable team, invest 800 million US dollars in it, add a zero in the future, package and sell it to interested colleagues, it will be very good."

Secretary Amanda smiled and said:
"The shares you hold in Facebook still have room for appreciation, and you don't need to touch it for the time being. And the development of Lanai Island is very expensive. It is time to consider how to earn enough funds. Hawking is sitting in a wheelchair. If you can write "A Brief History of Time", you should take it easy, boss, and continue to look for your favorite career."

Su Rui smiled, knowing that she wanted to comfort and enlighten herself, and the past two years have been really salty.

Except for trying to short US stocks after the Olympics, even though they saw some business opportunities at other times, they were too lazy to seize them and missed many opportunities in vain.

For example, the stock price of Amazon has soared in the past two years, and the stock price of Apple, which has launched smart phones, has also turned upside down.

It should be because he had little influence in his early years and couldn't cause many storms. The current world is almost the same as the previous life in Su Rui's memory.

He added at the moment:

"Don't worry, I will handle the funds for the development of Lanai Island. I have a good mentality recently. Say hello to my 12-member investment team and say that I, Su Rui, are back."

"Your investment team in New York now has only ten people left. If there is no business, there will be no bonus income. Last week, two people submitted their resignation letters together and moved to a British hedge fund company."

"..."

Knowing that they were chatting about business, Little Rock, who was accompanying him, didn't interrupt. He silently carried two shopping bags and put them in the trunk of the BMW X5 he borrowed from the car dealership.

It wasn't until the topic of investment was over that Rock Jr. was excited and asked:

"It's almost lunch time, how about going to the clothing store run by my mother? Near her store, there is an old Kalua roast pork restaurant, where you can also eat chicken risotto. I used to go there often. The owner is Chinese. .”

"Okay, since I met my compatriots, of course I have to take care of the business."

Suri happened to be hungry.

Open the door, continue to sit in the co-pilot seat, driven by Secretary Amanda, and follow Little Rock's guidance to a busy street full of shops.

Passing by a few shops with shells and other handicrafts, Little Rock first took them to the clothing store run by his mother.

Su Rui came to the store and looked around.

I found that there are all kinds of floral shirts hanging on the wall, as well as light and loose trousers, and large pants with rich colors.

The tropical style is full, and it seems to be mainly for tourists, and the highest price is 49 US dollars.

I saw my son coming.

Little Rock's white mother put down the hot dog buns to wipe her mouth, greeted her with open arms, and gave her son a passionate bear hug.

After introducing each other, knowing that Su Rui is the new owner of Lanai Island, his mother immediately became more enthusiastic, and boasted about how sensible Little Rock is, and that the child has been smart since he was a child.

Little Rock, who only graduated from high school and didn't even get into a community college, was embarrassed when he heard this.

There was a sense of shame that he died on the spot, and before his mother revealed more embarrassing things, he hurriedly wanted to leave for lunch.

It's all here, and I happen to be short of some clothes.

Su Rui left in no hurry, picked out a few floral shirts and big pants, and tried them on after covering them with cloth curtains. By the way, he also paired them with two pairs of flip flops, and a beige wide-brimmed hat with black stripes.

Just change out the pants and leather shoes you just wore, and you feel much cooler.

After all, it was Su Rui, who was once ranked as the fourth golden bachelor in the world. Even if he changed into the clothes on the stall, he still looked handsome.

From the upstarts to the playboys full of island style, there is only a flowery shirt in between.

Little Rock's mother praised it fiercely, and gave an internal discount price, so many things add up to only one hundred dollars.

Wholesale items from the other side of the Pacific may not be expensive, but shop rent, manpower, water and electricity costs, etc., all have to be calculated separately.

Su Rui didn't like to put a wallet in his pocket, so Secretary Amanda gave two hundred dollars, and left with the bag.

……

The so-called Kahlua Roast Pig.

The traditional method is to wrap the salted pig whole in banana leaves, put it in an underground stove, and smoke and heat it all day.

Su Rui didn't know this before, but after reading the introduction on the wall of the restaurant, he understood this dish.

The Chinese owner of the restaurant still insists on the traditional Kahlua roast pig. Based on the idea of ​​small profits but quick turnover, the price of the food is not high.

The family who ran the restaurant neither recognized Su Rui nor greeted him. After all, more than [-]% of the population in Hawaii is Asian, which is different from some small towns where Asians are rare.

And it happened to be lunch time, and the back kitchen was so busy that there was no time to chat.

He found a small dining table to sit, and asked Daju to squat on the dining table. Su Rui specially ordered a chicken risotto, and put it in a take-out box in front of it.

Little Rock finally understood why there were only three people but ordered four meals.

Seeing Daju opened his mouth to the maximum, as if he wanted to stuff the whole lunch box into his mouth, Secretary Amanda twitched his eyes and asked:

"Can cats really eat these? No wonder they are so fat, will it affect their health?"

Su Rui was very calm, and replied:

"Don't worry, it has eaten these since childhood, and its body has adapted. If it is fed cat food, it will lose its temper..."
