There is still a big difference in the thinking of Westerners and Easterners about money.
In the eyes of Westerners, there is no shame in obtaining money from others by seeking investment, as long as the investors can be given due returns in the future. This is completely different from the conduct of a gentleman in the East.
What is a gentleman
A gentleman must stay away from home, be ashamed of his words, and must not be tainted by the smell of money. Let alone looking for people to invest, it is very embarrassing to bring up the topic of money when chatting with people. Only those businessmen who are not popular will do it.
Money is where your mouth is.
Qin Zhiyuan is obviously not that pedantic, so when he talked to Pierre about money, his mind immediately became active.
If a person from the 21st century traveled back to the early 20th century, there would be plenty of gold. Even if he couldn't build a business as big as Qin Zhiyuan's, he could still make himself rich by opening a fast food restaurant.
Thinking of fast food restaurants, Qin Zhiyuan immediately had an idea: It's not suitable for me to give you cash directly now. I still have to find ways to open up money. Only if there are more ways to make money, will there be no shortage of money.
Qin Zhiyuan's statement is not quite correct. In fact, the richer you are, the more money you will be short of. It's just that the poor worry about three meals a day. This problem is easy to solve. As long as they work harder, it won't be a problem. The rich worry about capital strength. Then
It's serious money, and being diligent or not can't solve the problem.
However, Pierre did not have Qin Zhiyuan's awareness. When it came to making money, Pierre still trusted Qin Zhiyuan. So after hearing Qin Zhiyuan's words, Pierre immediately felt relieved: That's good, you can find a way to make money.
I'll find a way to spend money
These words made Qin Zhiyuan really have the urge to pour the water from the cup in front of him onto Pierre's big face.
You have a big face, right?
He couldn't really call it, Julie was still sitting next to him, so Qin Zhiyuan could only glare at Pierre angrily, that's all.
You go find Rockefeller and use the power of the Rockefeller family to open fast food restaurants in the United States and Europe, specializing in selling fast food, fried chicken, hamburgers, French fries, egg tarts, soda, ice cream, salads, fruits, etc. Oh, you can also add pizza. We don’t eat Italian.
Let's make our own food, as well as Lanfang's steamed buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk, etc., and prepare them all. I've already thought of the name for you, just call it KFC.
Without Qin Zhiyuan's encouragement, KFC would not have appeared until 1930, and then developed from one store to a giant with 3,000 stores around the world. When KFC was first born, it only had fried chicken as its signature dish. Qin Zhiyuan prepared a lot of food.
There is more than one, even far richer than KFC in the 21st century, and Colonel Sanders, who founded KFC, did not have the resources and strength of Rockefeller. If Pierre really started to expand the KFC market with the help of Rockefeller's resources in the United States,
, then KFC does not need to wait until the end of the 20th century to become one of the top 100 in the world, maybe it can be done decades earlier.
Fast food Pierre's expression was a little dazed.
Pierre definitely doesn't understand the prospects of KFC now. When it comes to open source, Pierre thought Qin Zhiyuan would build an oil and gas group, a mining group or something, or at least a clothing transportation company. This is more or less decent.
Industry, catering industry or nondescript fast food, this made Pierre really confused.
Never seen it
That's right, there is no concept of fast food in the world these days. Although for people, the pace of life is getting faster and faster, and time is becoming more and more precious, no one has ever realized that it takes ten minutes to finish a meal.
How meaningful.
That's the speed at which soldiers usually eat.
No, soldiers can't eat so fast these days.
Of course, the concept of being pressed for time only belongs to ordinary people. At Pierre's level, so-called fast food means finding a good restaurant during meal time, ordering a few big dishes and enjoying it slowly. Only then can you be gentlemanly. More often than not,
, Pierre's meal time was spent in various banquets, and he had no chance to touch fast food at all.
That's right, it's fast food. Don't underestimate this industry. As long as you open a stall, Rockefeller will be jealous of course, so will I. Therefore, KFC cannot let Rockefeller get involved and can only use their channels to expand. The profits must be in our hands.
First of all, I have to say yes, you must have my shares. Qin Zhiyuan suddenly thought of the issue of shares.
If KFC really opens up its business, not to mention Rockefeller, even Qin Zhiyuan will be jealous. This is a big cake that can drive everyone crazy. Qin Zhiyuan cannot give away all the profits to others.
Rockefeller's resources in the United States are extraordinary. Historically, KFC was born next to a gas station. Rockefeller's gas stations are everywhere in the United States. If there is a KFC fast food restaurant next to every Standard Oil gas station, then there is no need to use it.
In a few years, this new thing that has not yet been born will grow into a giant.
Fortunately, Sydney Wollaston was not present, otherwise Qin Zhiyuan would not have proposed this idea.
No, Pierre's description of Qin Zhiyuan's scale is a bit vague.
No, this is too small. When it comes to KFC, we must talk about Pepsi-Cola. You send people to the United States to look for it. If I remember correctly, Pepsi-Cola should have gone bankrupt now. Go find Pradohan and get it from him.
Buy Pepsi-Cola and sell it in KFC restaurants. Remember, let everyone buy Pepsi-Cola immediately when they are thirsty. This will become a market with more prospects than KFC. Qin Zhiyuan's idea
many.
If Qin Zhiyuan remembers correctly, Pepsi-Cola, which was born in 1898, will go bankrupt this year, that is, in 1923. It will not be until eight years later that Pepsi-Cola will appear on the market again. Qin Zhiyuan wants to seize this time difference and seize the opportunity.
Corgus bought the Pepsi brand.
These days, Coca-Cola does not have a future market position. In its original history, Coca-Cola had to follow the footsteps of American soldiers before it could spread all over the world. Coca-Cola's slogan at the time was to make all American soldiers able to drink five cents anywhere.
Buy a bottle of Coca-Cola for 1 cent.
This slogan is not patented by Coca-Cola. Americans who adhere to isolationism have no global ambitions. Lanfang can completely replace the status of the United States, at least in Asia. Lanfang can replace it.
In fact, speaking of it, the combination of Pierre and Rockefeller is still very competitive. Pierre is a European and Rockefeller is in the United States. Together, they can completely occupy the huge markets in the United States and Europe.
Of course, Qin Zhiyuan will not give up this opportunity. In fact, the most ideal situation is that Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre Rockefeller each hold one-third of the shares. In this way, whether it is KFC or Pepsi-Cola, they will have unimpeded access to Europe, Asia, and the United States.
Thinking about this prospect, Qin Zhiyuan was really a little excited.
Well, Pierre is still a little unsure from now on.
Of course, start now. If you don't want to do it, then I'll go to Allen and Qin Zhiyuan to come up with a second plan. If Pierre and Rockefeller can't do it, Qin Zhiyuan can also use Allen and the Mellon family.
Of course, of course, no problem, we'll start right away. I'm not against Pierre agreeing hastily, but my brows are still furrowed.
KFC is a very good name. If it is not convenient for you to come forward to run it, how about we women do it? Julie, who was sitting next to me, finally found the opportunity to interrupt.
In fact, Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre are both political figures, and it is really not suitable to work in the fast food industry. Especially Pierre, no matter how enlightened the French are, they would not necessarily want the owner of a fast food restaurant to become a Frenchman.
president.
But it's different for Julie and the others. Women are always associated with the kitchen. It's most appropriate to let a few women come forward to do this. I guess Rockefeller wouldn't do anything to a few women.
I was interested in small toys, but when Rockefeller realized the prospects of KFC, it was not something Rockefeller could afford by then.
It was a good idea and Pierre agreed immediately, feeling relieved.
Qin Zhiyuan really wanted to say that Pierre was in trouble and couldn't get on the wall. For Julie's sake, Qin Zhiyuan spared some virtue.
Dear, tell me about KFC and Pepsi. Is the fried chicken the kind of fried chicken we usually eat? Julie was in high spirits, and her eyes sparkled when she talked about money.
Qin Zhiyuan suddenly felt a little bad. Julie like this is really like a money string, so don't bring up the children.
It is similar to the fried chicken we usually eat, but it requires a few more processing steps to make it taste crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The chicken inside must be fresh and delicious. Pre-marination is essential, and a pressure cooker is also a must.
Tools to be used Qin Zhiyuan tried his best to remember how to make fried chicken. Fortunately, except for the unclear recipe, there were no errors in the procedure.
KFC's fried chicken recipe is indeed a secret. In the 21st century, this recipe was stored in a safe in a bank in Louisville, USA, to increase KFC's legendary effect.
In fact, it is just a gimmick. This fried chicken recipe originally only had eleven ingredients, which was developed by Sanders alone. It may not have much technological content. By the 21st century, this recipe has increased to more than forty ingredients.
It can be seen that it was not perfect at the beginning.
Of course, these more than 40 kinds of raw materials are just KFC's promotion, and it is not yet known how many of them play a key role.
Qin Zhiyuan now has researchers at his disposal. In terms of raw materials, Chinese people have much richer food ingredients than Americans. If Qin Zhiyuan allocates tasks, he may develop a formula that is even better than KFC's.
It may not be as good as the formula configured using computers in the 21st century, but it is at least better than the one originally created by Sandoz.
