Chapter 0097: Jonathan's Business (Subscription 4/20)
"In this way, is Jonathan Roosevelt's cousin?" Li Zitao's brain circuit jumped a little out of his mind, and he began to count the generations of the two families.
However, this kind of blood relationship is only somewhat useful if it does not involve interests, otherwise those cousins in Europe will not fight you to the death.
"Boss, do you need to reject him?" the soft-legged little elk held up her small gem-encrusted notebook, and did not notice the deep well on Li Zitao's forehead. ’
"No, arrange for me to have dinner with him in the evening, and we will set it at the Globe Restaurant. "Somehow, Li Zitao wanted to eat a bowl of tomato egg noodles for the past two days.
After meeting Second Master Mei last time, whether it was the opening of the business or when Li Zitao was shot, the other party sent people to express condolences and send congratulatory gifts.
In return, the instructors and students of the S.H.I.E.L.D. training camp also made the Globe Restaurant their first choice for gatherings.
While taking care of the business, it also lets the street thugs know that this is not the place they can mess with.
So compared to the first meeting, the relationship between the two families is much more relaxed now.
As for Jonathan, what his purpose is, we will not know until we meet.
"Help me answer Nuki's call. After washing, Li Zitao is ready to have a good chat with Nuki, how long has he been waiting?
"Boss, connected. The little elk handed him the phone.
"Nuki. ”
"Hey, my friend, oh, I've been really going crazy lately......" Nuki complained on the phone, all kinds of interest disputes, endless meetings, endless troubles.
"What about my business?" waited for him to finish complaining, and then Li Zitao asked.
"Charlie, you've got to give me plenty of time, the committee is just starting!" and without hearing his answer, Nuki understood his displeasure about the matter.
"Okay, I know what happened last time was dangerous, you've waited long enough, I'll hand him over to you before the end of the month, how about it?"
"I'm going to see him in Chicago before the end of the month, otherwise, your committee is going to be in big trouble, Nuki, you know me. Li Zitao said in a low tone.
Nuki's face was a little ugly, he didn't expect Li Zitao to be so sensitive.
"Happy April Fool's Day, haha......" Just as he didn't know how to answer, a laugh came out of the microphone.
"You bastard, the joke is only before 12 o'clock, FK ......" Nuki scolded, his eyes sparkling at the 14 pointer in his pocket watch.
"Really, hehe......" Li Zitao's laughter was a little fake.
Except for Li Zitao himself, no one knows if what he just said was a joke or if he really planned to do it and to hell with the damn April Fool's Day!
Hanging up the phone, Li Zitao sat on the sofa, looking at the little elk who was tidying up the room, and his mood was very comfortable for a while.
After the last time he eliminated the gunman, Li Zitao told Nuki the identity of the gunman, and he promised that he would find out the murderer and hand him over to him.
But after so long, Li Zitao still didn't wait for the behind-the-scenes commander, so he had the so-called 'joke' before. ’
Of course, he knew what Nuki was embarrassed about, and as a Dutchman, it was not easy to make the Italian mafia obedient.
If he is not careful, he may cause a situation both internally and externally in which he helps his own people to eradicate dissidents and deliberately suppresses the Italian mafia.
At that time, the committee that had just been formed was about to start a great infighting.
So in order to hand over the murderer to him, Nuki must come up with perfect evidence, no matter what method he uses.
But what does this have to do with him, he has already given Nuki time and face.
If it weren't for his scruples, Li Zitao would have sent someone to Sicily a long time ago to kill the old man who retired and came out to jump.
Speaking of this incident, Li Zitao remembered the former king of Chicago and Paul's former boss, Capone.
This once-glamorous big guy has now been transferred to Alcatraz prison, hoping that he will have a good time picking up soap in it.
"Boss, clothes. Holding his brand new underwear and shirt, the little elk said, "The car is ready." ”
"Wait, come with me, don't dress too formally. Li Zitao was afraid that she would put on diamond-studded crystal shoes and be covered in precious jewelry.
Maybe it was because he deliberately confessed that the little elk just changed into a simple floral skirt and wore short heels and small white leather shoes, and followed him out of the door.
When the car stopped in front of the Globe Restaurant, it was already full of friends.
"Yo, Mr. Li is here, please come inside. "The little second brother at the door is still the one from last time, and his eyes are full of strength.
"Has my guest arrived?" asked Li Zitao with a smile.
"It's here, I'm waiting above!" the little second brother beckoned and went up to the third floor, and the noise was much lessened.
"Boss, that's Jonathan. The little elk pointed to the corner.
Li Zitao walked to the corner with her, Jonathan also turned his head, then got up and said, "Mr. Li, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"I'm equally pleased, Mr. Astor. Li Zitao said with a smile.
"Jonathan, Astor doesn't belong to me. Jonathan said, spreading his hands.
"My friends call me Charlie. "Speaking of which, the politeness is over.
Since he came to a Chinese restaurant, Li Zitao was naturally in charge, and after asking Jonathan if he had any taboos, he asked Xiao Er to follow today's signature dish.
In addition, he made a special trip to order himself a bowl of tomato egg noodles: "Increase the portion." ”
"Listen to Jesse, you're starting a meat processing factory in Chicago?" Li Zitao opened the topic while drinking tea.
"Yes, I am very optimistic about meat processing, especially easy-to-store canned food, which can be exported to other countries and create enough profits for me in the current economic downturn. ”
"Oh, what do you mean?" Seeing Jonathan's confident appearance, Li Zitao was a little curious, where he was going to sell the canned food.
"China and Africa. Jonathan said.
"It seems that you already have a detailed plan!" Li Zitao said noncommittally: "I don't know how I can help?"
"I want to be a beef supplier to McDonald's. Jonathan said bluntly.
"Oh?" Li Zitao raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, this is really a lion's mouth.
The other party made such a request at this time, naturally not because of the importance of the land of the state, but because of the current booming franchise plan of McDonald's.
"Do you have such great strength?" Li Zitao did not directly refuse.
"I don't want to monopolize McDonald's beef supply, I want to be a part of it. Jonathan suddenly realized that he didn't seem to be explaining.
"Canning only requires the neck and tendon to be crushed and compressed, the upper brain, the outer and inner loins are supplied to high-end restaurants, and the chest, ribs and bottom plates should be supplied to food stores and butchers.
But now the food stores are closed and the butcher shops are gone. ”
Seeing Jonathan's bitter appearance, Li Zitao asked curiously: "You signed a purchase agreement with the farm?"
"Yes, and a lot. Jonathan nodded with a wry smile.
Long before the crash, he had already signed a purchase agreement, and everything was well planned, who could have predicted this terrible disaster.
Jonathan had planned to make other parts into high-quality cans, but as the disaster spread and affected all over Europe, he knew it wouldn't work.
Just when he was worried, McDonald's appeared.
He had tasted the burger himself, and the patties he used were made with the meat of the chest and ribs, which was just enough to fill his gap.
"I'll get someone to talk to you about it. Li Zitao decided to let Lawrence come to talk to him, and he was not good at this kind of specific negotiation.
At this time, the meat grading has not yet appeared, but it is only distinguished according to the quality of the parts, and Li Zitao does not know these details.
Whether or not to use his beef in the end was up to Lawrence and McDonald's managers.
At this time, the dishes came up, four meat and four vegetables, mixed and matched with West China, and the effect was remarkable......
"Boss, I want Huaguo noodles too. Seeing the red, yellow, green and white noodles in front of Li Zitao, the little elk swallowed his saliva and said.
"A small bowl. Looking at her unproductive appearance, Li Zitao's head hurts.
You are worth millions now, can you pay attention to your image.
asked Jonathan if he needed it, and after the other party refused, Li Zitao picked up the chopsticks and ate them.
Feast on it, go down with a few chopsticks, and the noodles in the sea bowl will bottom out.
The little elk is still rolling with a fork......
"Comfortable. Wiping the sweat on his head, Li Zitao was full of satisfaction.
"Boss, your appetite is too good. Seeing his eating appearance, the little elk felt that the noodles in the bowl were more fragrant.
Jonathan was also moved by his seduction, and asked Xiao Er to add a small bowl, and after eating the first bite, he gave a thumbs up directly.
Mei Erye's noodles are good, delicious, chewy, delicate flour, the best fine flour is used, and the toppings are fried to the right taste.
can make Li Zitao, who was used to eating all kinds of delicacies in his previous life, nod and praise, can it be bad?
The three of them were discussing while eating, and Li Zitao saw Mei Erye going up the stairs 'oh'.
"Haha, Mr. Li and the guests ate well. As soon as he turned his head from the staircase, Second Master Mei clenched his fists and laughed.
"Good, it tastes great. Li Zitao gave a thumbs up.
"It's good to be satisfied, your boys, but I'm a big customer here. Second Master Mei sat on the empty left-hand side, greeting Jonathan and the little elk.
"They are all compatriots who have left their homeland, helping each other, as they should. ”
"What Mr. Li said is that Mei Er hasn't had time to make amends before ...... before."
Holding down Second Master Mei's wrist, Li Zitao said politely: "There is no need to make amends, it's not a big deal, just give me a discount in the future." ”
Looking at him with a smile and a smile, Mei Er Ye nodded with some admiration: "Okay, Mei Er has seen it today, what is called a mind." ”
Can Li Zitao lack his discount?
Clearly gave him the steps, and Second Master Mei naturally wouldn't understand.
"Mind??I don't have that thing!" Li Zitao glanced at the little elk next to him, but found that her mind was much bigger.
"The last time Mr. Mei performed in Chicago, I thought I could meet Li Sheng, and I heard that you were too busy, and Mr. Mei was very sorry. Mei Er talked about Mei Lanfang.
Both of them are surnamed Mei, although they are not from their own family, but in this foreign country, it is inevitable that they will be new and cordial, but they have become friends.
"Yes, February is a bit busy!" Li Zitao said with a blushing face and a heartbeat.
Compared to when he first came, his current face is definitely bulletproof, and this kind of 'white lie' has become accustomed to it.
