Chapter 119 If you want to be a director, you must be KFC!(2/2)
"It's pretty good. I heard from the nurse who cared for him that he has recovered well during this period. Usually, he followed a group of people to the hospital's screening room to watch movies. By the way, last time he told me that he likes to watch your movies the most."
"Is that right?" I turned my head and laughed: "Next time you tell him to take good care of his illness. When he is in good health, I will let him act in a movie."
Jack was amused by my words: "If I told him, he would definitely run out of the hospital."
Usually in the company, I am surrounded by a bunch of guys, busy with movies, investments, or dinner parties, and no one can say a good word. Now I'm sick and I'm pretty good at it. At least I've got a chance to rest for the time being, and I can talk about it with Jack.
"Jack, how are you doing now?" I suddenly asked Jack.
Jack was stunned by my question: "Boss, I'm just your driver, ask me this..."
"Who said you are my driver?! Last time I yelled at the entire crew. If anyone dares to say you are a driver, I will throw him out of the company! Jack, remember for me, you are not an ordinary driver, and don't think you are inferior to others in the company. I tell you, in the company, you are the person I trust the most, do you understand?!" I turned my face, stared at Jack's face, and said angrily.
"Boss!..." Jack held the handle of the wheelchair tightly, so excited that he couldn't speak.
Seeing him like this, my throat was blocked and I whispered: "Jack, you don't even want your life for me. Don't I know?! If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?! In the future, don't think I am the boss, I am the boss. It's okay. Is it okay to be blessed and hard to be brothers together?! If you have any opinions in the future, you have anything to say, tell me directly, and don't be careless like others. Do you know?!"
Jack lowered his head, wiped his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Okay! Boss! I understand!"
I looked up at the high sky and sighed, "Sometimes, I envy those people who open small shops on the street, without intrigue and not having so many troubles to deal with. I open the door to do business during the day and close the stalls to accompany my wife and children at night. This kind of life is the real life. Now the company is big and there are many busy things. The company is also busy with.
, It was not as easy as it was at the beginning, and I was more and more flattering to say to me, and I was less and less likely to treat me as a friend. There were still people outside who were deliberately dealing with me. The family affairs also caused me a headache. If you don’t say anything else, just say that my second brother, if he does that job, it will happen sooner or later. I am much tired than you think."
"Boss, no matter when, I, Jack, will not betray you!" Jack was behind me, his tone firm.
I nodded: "I believe your words, otherwise I wouldn't have said these words to you. I won't say this anymore, Jack, you haven't answered my question yet."
Jack chuckled, not sure what to say.
"You kid is pretty good at speaking, why do you become depressed when you ask you to say it? Just say whatever you have!" I smiled.
Jack thought for a while and touched the back of his head, "Boss, to be honest, since our company was established, it has developed into the fourth-level Hollywood level in less than a year. Who doesn't give a thumbs up at the speed of development? Also, which movies produced by our company are not box office hits?! Ask me how I think the company is developing, what can I say, okay! Very good!"
"You don't think there are any shortcomings?" I smiled.
Jack frowned: "Absolute? I haven't noticed it yet."
"Is there anything I can't figure it out?"
Jack smiled and said, "Boss, I can't figure it out when I talk about it. There is one thing I really can't figure out."
"Oh, say!" I was very interested.
"Boss, look, other companies, such as MGM and Paramount, have other industries, besides movies, such as real estate, oil, automobiles, etc. Not to mention these large companies, they have many side jobs, even Lianmei, which is similar in scale to ours. Why can't we do a little?" Jack said.
Jack's words immediately made me feel excited. When I first started the company, I thought about this thing, but I didn't have enough money. Although I don't have much money now, I can make some extra money by making small tricks.
"Then tell me, what can our company do?" I asked.
Jack giggled embarrassedly and said, "How could I know? I can only drive and fight, I don't know much about everything else."
I laughed loudly. Just as I was about to speak, a man rode his bicycle past us. There was a lunch box in the basket in front of me. He hurried to the hospital. He knew it was a late person on shifts.
Looking at the lunch box in his car basket, my eyes suddenly lit up.
In the United States, with the acceleration of the pace of life, people's dietary requirements have also changed from the original nutritional and delicious food to the fast and convenient. If you make a fast food, such as McDonald's, KFC, etc., wouldn't you make a big profit?!
When KFC in history really developed, it was only in the 1934th century, and later it grew like a snowball in a very short time.
Although I don’t have much money now, it should be fine to take out 100,000 to do an experiment. Besides, those fries, chicken wings, etc. can definitely be made according to the current technical level. As long as you can find the right ingredients and choose the store location well, you should be able to make some money.
Thinking of this, I smiled at Jack: "Jack, if I don't let you be my driver and ask you to do something else, will you do it?"
"What's the matter?"
"I open a store, and I will pay for the main ideas and money. Are you responsible for finding people to find recipes and store locations according to my requirements, and then you will be responsible. Is it okay?"
"What store?!" Jack was shocked.
I smiled and said what I thought of.
After hearing this, Jack immediately raised his hands to agree: "Boss, your idea is so good! You don't know that the people working in Los Angeles now have the most headache to eat. Now the company leaves them with very short time to eat, and it is not enough to sit in a restaurant and wait for it. If you can open such a store, the business will definitely be very good! But..."
When I saw him feeling embarrassed, I asked, "But what?!"
"But can I do it? What if I pay you money?" Jack looked at me and smiled embarrassedly.
I laughed: "You are so unconfident in yourself?! I said you can, you must be able to do it! Even if you lose money, you won't let me go now, right? Jack, I'm optimistic about you, just let it go. It's not appropriate for others to do it. Most people in the company only know how to make movies. You are more familiar with the social situation than them, and you are better at dating and dealing with people and things. You are the most suitable for opening a store like this. Don't think too much about this, just try it on my behalf."
Jack nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll do it!"
"That's right! Come on, I'll tell you my ideas." I pulled Jack to me and explained some knowledge about fast food restaurants in detail, from business philosophy to small food and beverages, employees' clothing, and the store layout. I basically told all my understanding of KFC and McDonald's.
Jack was almost fascinated by the sound of it, but later he couldn't remember it in his head, so he simply took out a small notebook to remember it.
"Boss, your ideas are so new, I have never heard of them." Jack was so admiring to me.
I spoke so hard that I asked him, "How much does it cost to open a store like this in the heart of Los Angeles?"
Jack finished for a long time and looked up and said to me, "Store rent, equipment, employees, raw materials and formulas, add up to 7,800 yuan, at least 30,000 to 40,000 US dollars."
"Not much, no, I'll give you 100,000 US dollars. You will start to do it tomorrow. Now get the recipe and open a store." I took out a check book from my pocket and wrote him a check of 100,000 US dollars.
"Boss, I can't ask for so much!" Jack refused to take it.
"If you can't use it, just put it in your place. It's better to have more money." I stuffed the check into his pocket.
Jack's eyes were filled with tears: "Boss, don't worry, even if I do my best, I will do it for you!"
"Don't be willing to do your best all day. You just need to do your best. We don't care about success or failure." I smiled.
