Chapter 389 [The Future "Flame" is definitely going to be extinguished]
Guo Xu said some views on pizza catering, people's demand is too great, and it is difficult to make money if you do it well.
He doesn't know the exact number, but the demand for pizza is several times greater than he imagined, and by 2014, 94% of Americans eat pizza regularly, and the remaining 6% are young children who can't eat, and the average person in the United States eats 46 pizzas per year, and the amount of pizza consumed per day reaches 40 hectares.
If Guo Xu opened the store in other countries, the turnover would be even more terrifying, because people in many countries love to eat this.
They chatted for half an hour, and even if Megan and Christie didn't understand business things, they thought it was very funny.
Of course, Christie hopes to have a great career that can be fought for a lifetime, not to mention that Guo Xu plans to make her a leader!
Megan was even happier, not only was she proud, but she also showed off a little bit when she saw her sister smile weirdly. Look at how amazing my man is, he can easily make a feasible plan to make a fortune.
Of course, Guo Xu did not make a plan casually, but had memories of his past life as a reference. In his previous life, LeBron James, the "little emperor" of the Cavaliers, made a lot of returns because of his investment in a pizza restaurant, which was reported in the news many times.
Not only is James one of the most outstanding players in NBA history, but he has also proven himself to be a successful visionary businessman.
James funded Pizza Blaze in 2012 for $1 million, taking a 10% stake. In just five years, the restaurant chain has been doing a booming business and has been named the fastest growing restaurant in the United States, with an estimated market value of $250 million.
The speed at which Blaze Pizza's brand is expanding is sensational. In 2013, its total network turnover was only $6 million, and in 2016 it reached $185 million. The company's CEO sees a turnover target of $1.1 billion by 2022.
In 2017, James' shares were worth at least $25 million, plus his endorsement fees and dividends, for a total of $35 million to $40 million, which means that his original investment has increased by at least 35 times.
The investment was so covetous that Durant, who likes to follow James on and off the court, also invested in a pizza chain called Pieology.
Pieology completely copied the Flame Pizza model in terms of products and services, but it turned out to be unsellable, accounting for less than 1% of the U.S. pizza market share, and Blaze Pizza became the fifth largest pizza chain in the United States. The reason is simple, Durant made a move too late, and it is likely that he will lose all his money to seize the already saturated pizza market with his popularity alone.
The success of Blaze Pizza lies in the way it operates, with customers being able to mix and match ingredients ranging from 7 cheeses, 8 proteins, 20 vegetables and 3 sauces to be prepared in 3 minutes.
Christie likes to mix and match pizzas at will, and the taste is good, as long as she teaches a group of apprentices, she should be able to do what Flame Pizza can do.
At present, there is no pizza shop in the United States that is free to match ingredients, as long as Guo Xu invests in opening a store this year, they will start 7 years earlier than Flame Pizza, this advantage will be so big that it is impossible to chase at all, and James's future "Flame" will definitely be extinguished.
How to do it, Guo Xu plans to discuss it with his agent Harpy Waters, they are all laymen in terms of management, and they are all looking for trustworthy people to participate in the operation.
Christie is going to live in Phoenix, for the time being, she lives in Guo Xu's house, the villa has many rooms, when Guo Xu goes to play away, the two sisters and the puppy Buddy will not be bored at home.
In the evening, the three watched the live broadcast of the Timberwolves vs Nets game at home, and after a crazy iron battle, the Timberwolves lost to the Nets 61-84.
The Timberwolves' poor play is good news for both the Suns and the Lakers, who also want to play well in the regular season and try to gain home-court advantage in the playoffs.
Some people on the Internet have commented that the Suns can sometimes score this score against their opponents in half the game. Many fans who have been attracted to offensive basketball in recent years, and who have been raised by the Lakers and Suns, are not optimistic about the Timberwolves.
The reason is very simple, the Timberwolves' offensive and defensive transitions are not fast enough, and they are a team that focuses on positional battles, and "Alien" Cassel is a heavy point guard who is good at playing half-court positions, so he can't just play a fast break on Sprewell alone in the whole team, right?
And the Timberwolves are not on the best team, star small forward Szczebiak missed 30 games due to injury last season, and now the plantar fasciitis of his left foot will keep him out of the game from time to time, and people will not see him at the beginning of the regular season.
Szczebiak played with an injury last season, helping the Timberwolves chase from ninth place in the midseason league to fifth in the final league, at the cost of worsening the injury and being scolded by Garnett for his poor playoff performance.
Szzczebiak won't play with injuries again this season, the media only talks about the "three-headed monster" and doesn't mention him much, as if the two newcomers are much better than him, is it worth it to work hard? He had to heal his injuries first, and in his words, "it hurt as if he had stepped on his own tail."
Timberwolves coach Saunders also said: "Even though Szczebiak's injury has improved, it's not clear when he'll be back on the court and we don't want him to play too early and cause a recurrence. ”
In this game, only Garnett scored double-doubles in the whole Timberwolves team, cutting 23 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, Sprewell shot 4 of 18, and Cassel shot 2 of 10, all of which were terrible.
Guo Xu will not underestimate the Timberwolves because of this, the instability of the "three-headed monster" is that the players who have just joined need time to run in, and they will become better in the later stage, and Szzebiak will definitely come back in the playoffs, and he is an important three-point shooting point for the team.
On the Nets side, Kidd scored 21 points, 11 rebounds, 14 assists and 4 steals, Kenyon Martin also scored 26 points and 6 rebounds, and "Kidney Fighter" Mourning had 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.
For the Nets, Guo Xu didn't take it to heart, the team had too many problems. The contradiction between Kidd and head coach Byron Scott has been made public, the No. 2 "mosquito" Kittels is injured, and the Nets have serious hidden dangers inside, even if they are lucky enough to reach the finals, they are afraid that they will be swept away.
Mourning obviously couldn't run, and was assigned to come off the bench in the regular season, he was really playing hard and could fall down at any time.
In his previous life, Mourning had kidney replacement surgery during the Nets, and drank vegetable juice as a drink every day, but returned to the court with perseverance, and won the championship with the Heat in 2006.
Guo Xu has caused many butterfly effects, and one of them is more embarrassing, that is, Haslem joined the Suns to be his younger brother. In his previous life, in 2006, Haslem was at the peak of his career, and he was the starting power forward of the Heat, playing a key role on both offensive and defensive ends, especially on the defensive end, he was responsible for defending Nowitzki.
Without Haslem, even if the Heat traded with the Lakers for O'Neal in 2006, it would be enough to reach the Finals, and it would be difficult to break through in the East.
Guo Xu can analyze the situation of each team through the memory of his past life, and the Lakers have little time left for O'Neal, unless he can lead the team to win the championship this season, it is difficult to stay.
Tomorrow the Lakers will play against the Suns, how many shots can O'Neal shoot? (https:)
