Johnny scratched his head: "Are you kidding? I asked about those celebrities, and the endorsement fees are very expensive! Not to mention anything else, just Xiao Fangfang's singing song costs 8,000 yuan. If he is an endorsement, it will cost at least two or three dollars. Ten thousand!"
"So, we must spend our money wisely now!"
"What should I say?" Johnny leaned over and humbly asked for advice.
"Now ---" Du Yongxiao put his arm around his shoulders, "We can spend money to hire some sitters and let them be customers. There will be long queues at the door every day. In this way, even if we don't do publicity, there will be TV stations and newspapers who will take the initiative. Help us promote it!”
Johnny blinked: "Isn't this cheating customers?"
"What is deception? This is called rational drainage!" Du Yongxiao patted Johnny on the shoulder, "In short, my flagship store must be a hit. Only in this way can I be a charterer!"
"Uh, charterer?"
"What do you think?" Du Yongxiao took out a cigarette and lit it, leaning on the sofa. "Do you really think that I love your McDonald's so much that I want you to open a flagship store? Do you know the reason? The reason is simple. I am planning to open a flagship store in Hong Kong. Island, Kowloon and the New Territories bought ten storefronts at once, and after the flagship store became popular, they rented it out to others to start a chain. As for me, I just sat back and waited to collect the rent!"
It took Johnny a while to come back to his senses and he was surprised: "Are you planning to treat McDonald's as real estate?"
"Bingguo! You are so smart, you can tell the truth in one point!" Du Yongxiao puffed out a puff of smoke, "Now, let me calculate an account for you. I will charge 50,000 for each of those storefronts, and the total cost will be 500,000; each storefront rents at least 33,000 yuan. Year, the rent is 50,000 per year----"
"How is that possible?" Johnny laughed, "You buy it for 50,000 yuan and rent it out for 50,000 yuan. Only a fool can do that!"
Du Yongxiao chewed his cigarette and smiled: "If it weren't for your McDonald's, of course my store wouldn't be worth the high price. But with your golden signboard and the popularity of my flagship store, tell them that as long as they are willing to open McDonald's for a day, A profit of 1,000 yuan, 30,000 yuan a month, 360,000 yuan a year! Do you think any fool will take the bait?"
Johnny was stunned, and after a long time he swallowed: "Du, you are so treacherous! This way you can own ten storefronts without spending a penny, and as long as you can rent them out, you can make a million at a time! But, We at McDonald’s are very picky about locations, are you sure we will choose them?”
"I need your help now!" Du Yongxiao held a cigarette between his fingers and put his arm around Johnny's shoulders with a smile: "Although you and I didn't hit it off, we are still old friends. You help me, I'll help you - 30,000, do you want it or not? ?”
"I'm sorry, I can't do it! I'm a McDonald's man and I have to stick to my principles!"
"Fifty thousand, okay?"
"As I said, I'm a McDonald's man and I want to stick to my principles! Please don't say it again!"
"One price, one hundred thousand!" Du Yongxiao patted Johnny, "That's a lot!"
Johnny looked at Du Yongxiao: "I'm telling you!" He gritted his teeth, "I don't want a check!"
"Deal!" Du Yongxiao smiled slightly. His strategy was very common in his previous life, such as the Mixue Ice City series, the Chestnut Emperor series, etc. He first found some people to act as trustees, and then earned franchise fees after joining.
Du Yongxiao just changed his mind and became a charterer to earn rent. Besides, McDonald's brand effect will still be very powerful in the next ten years, of course, as long as these bosses can last ten years.
With common interests, Ghost Johnny immediately hooked up with Du Yongxiao and became affectionate like long-lost brothers.
The two drank a glass of red wine together.
At this moment, Johnny was worried that if Du Yongxiao gave up his job, he would lose 100,000 yuan.
"Dear Du, I am very satisfied with your plan, but are you sure you can buy ten stores in one go?"
"Of course I can't, but there are people who can!"
"Who is it?"
Du Yongxiao was about to answer when he heard the beep of a car coming from outside.
Boom, boom, boom!
A Mei knocked on the door and came in. She glanced at Johnny first, bowed to him and said hello, and then said to Du Yongxiao: "Mr. Du, there is someone looking for you outside!"
Du Yongxiao stood up and said to Johnny with a smile: "Here comes the man who can buy ten storefronts in one go!"
…
Du Yongxiao walked out of the office, walked through the McDonald's lobby, and when he came outside, he saw an old-fashioned Bentley with a 007 license plate.
Liu Fu opened the window and waved to him: "How's it going? It feels good, right? You know I'm coming to beg you?"
"A little."
"What the hell! Get in the car first!"
"What to do?"
“Go to Peninsula Cafe!”
Du Yongxiao got into the car, "What are you doing?"
"What else can you do? Didn't you say you want to be a charterer and engage in real estate? I helped you find an expert in this field. Originally, he didn't plan to take over such a small thing, but he only wanted to see you because of my face!"
"Pick, such a big name!"
"You'll know when you get there! Drive!"
In fact, Liu Fu was forced to panic this time. Lei Luo and his gang were violating the rules openly and secretly, and even incited others not to pay the fees, which put him in a difficult position. Now Du Yongxiao is his only life-saving straw, so of course he must grasp it tightly.
The Peninsula Cafe is located on Jimbaran Road. This cafe has a long history. In the early days of the British rule in Hong Kong, it was an exclusive area for British people. There were the purest Sikh Indians at the door as parking attendants and doormen. There are security guards and ordinary Chinese are not allowed to enter.
Now, as the Chinese are becoming more and more influential in Hong Kong, this cafe has begun to open to the outside world and no longer hangs the "Chinese and dogs are not allowed" sign.
It was not lunch time yet, so there were not many diners in the entire cafe, and there were only two groups of people sitting together chatting.
On the left side, in the corner next to the pillar, sits a man in his twenties, wearing a well-tailored gray suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and combed hair. He is drinking coffee in one hand and turning the other hand. Looking at the page, he looks gentle and elegant.
When Liu Fu saw the other party, he was stunned for a moment, then walked over with a hurried smile, "It turns out to be Lawyer Song, why didn't Boss Li come?" His expression was very disappointed.
When the man saw Liu Fu, he put down his coffee, closed his book and said, "Our boss is busy with business, so he sent me here." As he spoke, he glanced at Du Yongxiao.
Liu Fu hurriedly introduced: "Let me introduce you, this is the legal advisor of the Real Estate Development Department of Yangtze River Industry, Song Bingshu, Song Dazhuang!"
The man pushed up his glasses, stood up, and glanced at Du Yongxiao arrogantly.
"As for this person, he is the rising star of our police station and my right-hand man Liu, Du Yongxiao, Inspector Du."
"Inspector?" Song Bingshu's eyes showed a trace of surprise. Du Yongxiao looked too young, at most eighteen years old. Such young detectives were rare.
"Hello, Du Yongxiao!"
"Hello, Song Bingshu!"
Du Yongxiao took the initiative to shake hands, but the other party only shook his hand politely, then sat down and raised his chin with a proud attitude.
Liu Fu was still smiling apologetically and asked why Boss Li didn't come. He would definitely visit him in person when he had time.
Du Yongxiao knew, however, that in the eyes of business bosses like Boss Li, people like Liu Fu were just "chamber pots."
Liu Fu thought he could be "brothers" with the other party, but in fact the other party looked down upon him.
