How many sirs?" As soon as I entered the door, a little girl in work clothes ran over.

I covered my face and whispered, "I won't eat, I'll come over to your boss."

"Did you have an appointment in advance?" The little girl smiled from beginning to end.

"What else do I have to make an agreement!" I was so angry that I took my hand off.

The little girl was stunned when she saw me, then immediately understood and quickly bowed to me and ran backwards.

This fast food restaurant is the flagship store of Los Angeles fast food. It is open in front of it. Through the hall and bypasses the patio, it is a three-story building where Jack takes a group of people to work.

"Boss, you are here, why don't you tell me in advance! I can pick you up." The little girl didn't have much time left, so Jack ran over from behind. When he saw me having a mess of hair, he was stunned for a moment.

"Do you need to make an appointment in advance?" I smiled.

After hearing this, Jack scratched the back of his head embarrassedly: "Boss, I've been too busy these days, so many people are looking for me, so..."

I waved my hand: "Don't poke it here, go to your office. By the way, find me a comb!"

Jack was stunned again, watching me touching my hair constantly, and then he realized it.

Jack's office is on the second floor of the building behind. Although it is not very large, it is arranged very cleanly and tidy.

I sat on a chair and said slowly, "Jack, how are you doing with our fast food company recently?"

Jack brought me a cup of tea, then turned around and handed me a black account book from the cabinet.

I opened and looked at it. It recorded the operating conditions of the fast food company in detail, and recorded the fees clearly. I was very relieved about Jack and didn't worry about anything he was doing, so I threw the account book on the table and said lazily: "I feel a headache when I look at these things. Just talk to me briefly."

Jack moved a chair and sat down and began to report his work to me: "Boss, our main task at present is to quickly expand the number of branches, so in addition to leaving a certain amount of funds to maintain normal operations, all the profits made were placed on the branches. Now we have 10 branches."

"10 families?! No way! When I just came back from London, you guys returned it!" I said in surprise.

Jack smiled and said, "Boss, our business is very good now. Now there are long queues in front of the counters of ten branches, which is very profitable."

I nodded and signaled him to continue.

"In addition to expanding the number of branches, we are also working on advertising. Last week, the company established a leadership team, and everyone has clear tasks and division of labor. There is no plan or organization like before." Jack said proudly.

"You are doing this right. In the future, if your family business is big, it will not work without an effective organization. Look at our company, it is not a set of teams and teams. Only in this way can the tasks be carried out and the government orders are smooth." I said as I knocked on the table.

Jack nodded straight: "Yes, boss, our team is based on the design of the headquarters."

"Then have you made any plans?"

“Did it, we made a long-term plan, a short-term plan.”

"Oh, tell me." I immediately became interested.

Jack carefully said: "The long-term plan is to open our fast food restaurants in the west and even the entire United States. The short-term plan is to occupy the market in California first. At present, we have sent some personnel to start looking for locations for branches in cities around Los Angeles."

"It's not bad, so you should have such a plan. I ask you, how much can you earn in ten fast food restaurants a week in a month, no?

Jack chuckled: "At least $5."

"Why are there so many!" Before I could speak, Holkina screamed from the side.

"So, you can add a branch in a week?" I was also surprised. This thing makes too fast.

Jack nodded vigorously and said, "Theory is the case, but generally speaking, it is not possible to open a branch with money. It requires training for personnel, which takes time. The reason why so many branches have been added during this period is because we trained a group of people last time. Now our sixth group of personnel is already in training. It is estimated that the training will be completed next month, and then the number of branches can be expanded again."

Jack's work has made me very satisfied.

"Boss, I heard that our company spent 800 on acquiring Western Electric Company. I understand the economic situation of our company. The profits of the screening of "Brave Heart" have not been recovered yet. Where did you get so much money? Boss, I still have 700,000 yuan here. I originally wanted to get some points." Jack took out a big box from the cabinet and put it in front of me.

"Go and go! Put it back! I have already got all the money, and you are not enough! You, just focus on getting the fast food company ready. Don't worry about the affairs of the head office. Also, Jack, I can explain it clearly to you that adding branches is a good thing, but you have to be smarter. The bigger the stall, the greater the danger. Don't become a mess later. Then you will be dragged down," I had to give Jack some advice.

Jack said yes.

"By the way Jack, I have one more thing left to you." I looked at Holkina.

"Boss, tell me."

"I heard that Broadway has recently moved opera to Los Angeles, right?" I squirted the ashes.

Jack nodded muffledly.

"Get me three tickets," I smiled.

"San Zhang? Boss, do you want to watch an opera?" Jack wondered.

"What, can't I watch it?! The remaining two are from you and Holgina. We will have fun together in the evening and experience some of the life of the Phantom of Songs." I stood up and walked to the balcony and stretched, then turned to Jack and said, "By the way, ask your subordinates to send a few newly invented things in the store. I was so hungry that I was touching my back."

The three of us ate this meal so well in Jack's office. Chicken wings, burgers, Coke... and the new things that were newly invented in the store. I was so humming. No wonder Jack dared to proudly tell me that they could make a profit of 50,000 yuan a week. Although it was a fast food, it tasted great, much better than the things I ate at McDonald's and KFC when I was a student.

I basically didn't go out in the afternoon. I discussed the development of the fast food company with Jack in the office for a long time. Of course, in addition to the two of us, there were more than 20 people in his team, all ages. These guys respected me very much, but on the specific issues of the development of the fast food company, they dared to express their opinions in a realistic manner. Even if they had different opinions from me, they dared to raise them. There is no doubt that these people, like Jack, are all people who do practical things, so I feel very relieved about them.

We settled for supper at a restaurant in downtown Los Angeles. I, Holgina and Jack, finished supper and saw that it was still early before the start of the opera, so we started wandering on the street.

Although I have been here in Los Angeles countless times, I am always in a hurry and rarely sway on the streets without any worries like this. Now that I have eaten my fill, I feel nothing in my heart. I am very happy to see the people coming and going on the street and watching the Wanjiazhang.

"Jack, what's the musical tonight?" I asked Jack while looking at the windows of the surrounding storefronts.

Jack frowned and thought for a while before replying: "It seems to be a new drama. I don't understand this thing. It's called "Ship". I heard that the premiere was held last month and it is very popular."

"No way! "Show Boat"?! Are you sure!?" I opened my eyes wide and didn't believe my ears.

"Share Ship" is the first landmark musical in Broadway history. It mainly faces the tortuous and difficult life of an artist on a ship performed along the Mississippi River. It is the first time to face the problem of racial discrimination in the United States. It has a huge image for later generations. Moreover, with its serious theme, twists and turns, lively tasks, moving music and singing and dancing, it has escaped the rough and vulgar division of early American songs and dances, and has become the true origin of Broadway songs and dances.

But what surprised me was that this musical should have appeared in 1927, so why was it brought to the stage one year in advance?

"Boss, are there any problems?" Jack asked hurriedly when he saw me in surprise.

"It's nothing, nothing, I'm so excited. I've heard that this musical has been watched for a long time." I quickly sloppy and made excuses.

Perhaps because of the early appearance of the opera "Show Boat", I had no intention of continuing to play, so I took Holkina and Jack to the theater early.

This theater, called California Star, is the most luxurious theater in Los Angeles. Before the movie was invented, it was the entertainment center of Los Angeles. At that time, there were aristocrats gathering here every night. People rode carriages from all directions to enjoy elegant operas here. It was a symbol of identity. However, after the movie was invented, it gradually became neglected. Although various plays were also staged, they had long lost the glory and prosperity of the past.

Jack ordered a small private room, and the performance started at 8th. Now he wasn't too lazy to sit in and stare blankly at 7 o'clock, so he ran to the hall outside to smoke.

After a while, they saw Marskolov and Meyer walking in from outside. The two of them were flushed and looked very happy. They walked and chatted. Marskolov's broken gong-like laughter spread throughout the hall.

"Andre, why are you here too?!" When Marskolov was about to go up the stairs, he saw me smoking behind the pillar hiding next to the stairs, and quickly returned.

I pinched my cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can at hand, coughed, and pointed to the performance hall: "I can't come here? What are you doing?"

Marskolov laughed: "Didn't you hear that this musical is good? So I came to listen when I have time. I didn't expect you to have such a good mood. Let's go and sit in my private room."

"I have also booked a private room. On the 13th, you can't go and sit there." I don't like Marskolov's appearance that doesn't take others seriously, even though he doesn't mean that.

"No. 13?! Listen to your number! I tell you, that's the end of this theater.

The wing is small and not good, why would you order that!" Marsko, I smacked my lips.

I sarcastically said, "It's good enough for us little people to book a private room. How could we compare with you big bosses? Yes, Mr. Mayer."

I squeezed my eyes at Meyer, and Meyer didn't speak, and looked at me and shook his head.

"Your mouth! Andre, I tell you that the No. 1 private room I booked is not only large, but also the best in all private rooms. It is facing the stage, and there are food and drinks. Will you go?" Marskolov looked at me with a sneering smile on his face.

"Go! Why not! I go back and call my two subordinates, and then go." I turned around and wanted to leave, but was pulled by Marskolov.

"Just just follow me. Can't you let me call your subordinates?" Marskolov pulled me hard and pulled me up the steps.

When I arrived at the private room, I was stunned when I pushed the door. This was not a private room! It was simply a corrupt gold and silver nest! The floor was covered with precious Persian carpets, and the chairs were carved with fragrant wood. If you were tired of sitting, there was an ivory bed next to you to lie down and watch the show. There were phones, fruits, and some fun. There was a famous painting on the wall, and there were many beautiful young girls standing next to it. This was not a show!

Since it was someone treating me, I was not polite. I walked to the largest bed inside and sat up, and then lay down comfortably. The mats on the top were filled with velvet, which was extremely soft. As soon as I lay on, my eyelids immediately became hard.

"You boy won't want to sleep, right?" Marskolov saw me like this and pulled me away.

"What are you doing? This musical hasn't started yet. I'll sleep for a while. I'm almost exhausted during this period." I hit him in the hand.

"Yes, you boy is not idle. The movie "Brave Heart" has made the whole of Hollywood mess. In a blink of an eye, it acquired Western Electric and took the patent rights of audio movies into their own hands. Yes, it should be too busy!" Marskolov sat down next to me and said to me with a word.

"Old Ma, if you have something to say, don't beat around the bush! It's so tired!" I turned around and grabbed a bunch of grapes on the table next to me and threw them into my mouth one by one.

"You boy! I really envy you sometimes! In the past, everyone was not optimistic about audio movies. Hawthorne would look for us all, and no one was willing to use his "Vita style" audio movie machine to make audio movies. Why? Because everyone thinks that is not worth it. They have to renovate all the cinemas with things. They are just full. But you just dare to do it. Not only did you use an audio movie machine to make a movie, but you also renovate all the cinemas in your hands. As a result, you made a lot of money! Andre, this time you have made a lot of money. I heard that the threshold of the 200 cinemas in DreamWorks is about to burst, and the ticket price has been raised to 5 yuan, 5 US dollars! What kind of movie is there? It's just a huge money tree!" Marskolov said with red eyes pulling my clothes.

His jealous look was almost crazy, and I felt extremely helpful.

I laughed dryly: "Do you know the ending is too big?! Haha, you big companies have thousands of cinemas, take your MGM for example, 6,000 cinemas, beloved, what is this concept? Of course, you don't want to sell audio movies to you, because you know, the cost of just renovating the theater is far more than the profits brought by a movie, and whether audio movies can make money is still unknown. I am different. Our DreamWorks has only less than 200 cinemas, and it doesn't cost much even if it is renovated, so I can give it a try. Hehe, my luck has always been very good, but I didn't expect that I really wanted to get the right one. How about it, are you regretting that you didn't take Hawthorne's sales at the beginning?!"

Marskolov became more and more sad when I said it. He sighed and said, "It's not just regret, I'm just heartbroken now! If I could accept Hawthorne's suggestion, it wouldn't be your turn to be proud of it now! You kid, sometimes I really doubt that you have known many things for a long time, and that you have the ability to predict! No matter what you do, always take the lead and let everyone follow your butt. When everyone is following the trend, you start to float to another place again! Not to mention anything else, this time the acquisition of Western Electric Company, you play this beautiful! With the patent rights of audio movies in hand, will you be peeled off a layer of skin by Hollywood film companies in the future!"

I shrugged and said, "There's no way, I'm lucky. I couldn't buy it, but who would have thought that old man Taylor would be favored by God and go to heaven, and he would get me cheap all of a sudden."

Marskolov was so angry when he saw me proud.

"Andre, can you discuss something with you? Big thing!" Just as I finished eating the last grape, Marskolov came to me and whispered.
Chapter completed!
