Du Yongxiao's arrogance made Johnny laugh.
He thinks Du Yongxiao is mentally ill, why would a policeman want to open a McDonald's flagship store?
Johnny didn't know about the rest. One thing is certain, the Chinese in Hong Kong are very low-level. Even if McDonald's wanted to open a flagship store, the first choice would be the British and cooperate with the British. Local Chinese like Du Yongxiao—well, they are very ill!
The words were not speculative, and he did not want to talk too much to Du Yongxiao.
Johnny said a few more perfunctory words and asked Charlie to send Du Yongxiao away.
After Du Yongxiao left, Johnny said contemptuously: "Is this man sick? Think he can do whatever he wants just because he is a policeman?"
"Yeah, it looks like the illness is not serious!" Charlie also laughed.
"Show me his plan and let me see what else this lunatic wrote!" Johnny knew Chinese, so asking Charlie to translate was just showing off.
Charlie hurriedly handed him the plan, "What good thing can a policeman write? In fact, you don't have to read it!"
Johnny looked contemptuous: "I just wanted to see how funny he could be."
Looking at it, Johnny couldn't help laughing.
Charlie saw that Johnny looked wrong and asked, "What happened, sir?"
Johnny took the plan: "The following marketing plans, the One, Three, and Five promotion days, package bundle promotions, and redeeming points for gifts----"
"What's wrong?" Charlie looked over.
"Hell!" Johnny looked weird, "According to what I wrote above, McDonald's won't have to worry about no customers in the future!"
Since Johnny can be assigned to Hong Kong by the US headquarters, he also has real talent and learning. He could tell at a glance that Du Yongxiao's marketing plans were not just words on paper, but very practical. Especially in terms of sales promotion, many aspects are very precise, which even makes Johnny, a veteran, feel inferior.
In fact, Du Yongxiao's marketing plan was the marketing template for McDonald's in the previous generation to "kill everyone" in the future. It was later adopted by KFC, Dicos, and other fast food chain companies, and now it is copied by Du Yongxiao.
Of course, Du Yongxiao would not be stupid enough to write everything down. Many of these plans were briefly mentioned in one sentence. He only gave a name to the plan, but did not explain how to operate it in detail.
The more Johnny watched, the more uncomfortable he felt. He felt that Du Yongxiao was tickling him, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
"Damn it, was this written by a Chinese?!" Johnny loosened his tie.
No wonder Johnny reacted so strongly. He always looked down on Chinese people, but Du Yongxiao——
"Ahem, even if he is a talented person, he can't build a flagship store. First, he has no money, second, he has no strength, and third, he has no reputation!"
Johnny calmed down and sat down again: "You are right, we are also a big American company, how can we cooperate with a mere Chinese agent?"
Charlie hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and whispered: "Actually, plainclothes police are very sharp in Hong Kong."
"Uh, what do you mean?"
Next, Charlie had to educate Johnny about the power of these "bad guys" in Hong Kong.
Johnny was stunned after hearing this. He had never thought that the Hong Kong police could be so powerful and could control black and white.
He finally understood why Du Yongxiao just said that his greatest advantage was "bad guy".
In Hong Kong, if McDonald's wants to succeed, the easiest way is to rely on large local companies and find business bosses as backers. These bosses are so powerful that no one dares to provoke them. But in this way, McDonald's will lose its dominance. , these big guys are the ones talking about things at all times.
Taking a step back, McDonald's can go it alone and develop the market alone, but in this case it will be blackmailed by local police, gangsters and other groups. If you think about it carefully, it is not impossible to find a powerful policeman as your backer, such as Lei Luo, Yan Xiong and others that Charlie mentioned, but you are afraid that these people are greedy and will not be able to control you when the time comes.
An unknown plainclothes guy like Du Yongxiao actually had some advantages. He was easy to control and he was very talented. Especially those marketing plans made Johnny admire him.
"What a pity, he is a Chinese, and he is still a low-class kind!" Johnny curled his lips in disdain and leaned on the chair. His priority partners are still local British people.
Charlie understands the other party's difficulties very well. The most difficult thing about doing things is "just right". The same is true for recruiting partners.
Charlie was helping to put away Du Yongxiao's coffee cups, when he suddenly noticed something pressed under the coffee cup, "Hey, why is there an extra newspaper?"
Charlie picked up the newspaper and glanced at it, "Mr. Johnny, this----"
"What's the matter, Charlie?"
"Read this newspaper first!" Charlie hurriedly walked over and handed the newspaper across the desk.
Johnny took the newspaper curiously, looked at it, and was stunned!
The picture of the character in the newspaper seemed familiar.
"Is this the one just now----Du Yongxiao?"
Look at the headline again----
"The new plainclothes Du Yongxiao shocked Nathan Road"!
…
Du Yongxiao never tells others that he is a "road fool".
He is an easy person to turn around.
After leaving Johnny's office, he started to turn around. Fortunately, he met the waiter and found the elevator.
When he arrived at the hotel lobby, the lobby manager came up to him quickly when he saw him, with a smile on his face: "Sir, how was the conversation?"
"Very good!" Du Yongxiao took out a cigarette, lit one, and waved to the rickshaw outside: "Thank you for your help!"
The lobby manager hurriedly said humbly: "You should serve the superior!" After saying that, he waved to the rickshaw, asking the other party to speed up and send Du Yongxiao, the god of plague, away as soon as possible. No matter when, they who do business are most afraid of offending the police.
"The car is here, see you next time!" Du Yongxiao patted the lobby manager on the shoulder with a cigarette in his hand, appearing very polite.
A rickshaw quickly stopped next to Du Yongxiao. The lobby manager watched Du Yongxiao get on the car and smiled and waved goodbye.
"Go to Kowloon Pier!" Du Yongxiao ordered the coachman.
"Okay!" The driver quickly set up the rickshaw, and with the crisp sound of spokes, Du Yongxiao ran towards the dock.
Kowloon Pier is located in To Kwa Wan Typhoon Shelter, opposite the North Point Pier on Hong Kong Island. From morning to night, there are various ferries going to and from the pier.
Du Yongxiao took a rickshaw here from the Peninsula Hotel just to visit his silly younger brother Du Yongshun.
I heard what dad said last night that my younger brother had to work overtime at the dock day and night in order to pay off Du Yongxiao's debt.
Thinking of this, Du Yongxiao felt a little warm in his heart. He took out something from his arms. The thing was carefully wrapped in a handkerchief. Because it was held in his arms, it was still a little warm.
As the rickshaw bumped, Du Yongxiao carefully opened his handkerchief.
The rickshaw driver turned around and saw it inadvertently. He guessed that it was something precious, and it was wrapped so tightly----
The handkerchief is opened,
That's a...
Hard-boiled eggs!
