Chapter 275 Panda Restaurant Officially Enters the United States
If he wants to make a movie, how to choose a script seems to be no problem for Li Changheng.
The first thought was Home Alone.
Although 8 out of 10 novels about Hollywood will mention this movie.
But you are really going to be born again.
Anyone who misses this movie is an idiot.
Small cost, few scenes, few actors, huge profits, and the ability to make sequels.
Of course, the actor for the little boy may not be so easy to find.
After the first sequel, sell the rights and make a lot of money.
And at this time, because of the Vietnam War, the whole society in the United States seemed to be shrouded in pessimism, depression and confusion.
Movies that can make everyone laugh at this time are not only liked by children, but also by adults.
Even Chief Barrel, who sits in the White Palace, will hope that the film will counteract some of the discontent and tantrums of the populace.
And this kind of family popcorn movie with no art and connotation is more in line with the outside world's expectations for a novice and rookie.
After the box office exploded, practitioners in the film industry, the media, and the general public would only lament that he was lucky and chose the right subject.
After making two profitable movies, it will not be so abrupt to be nominated for awards, even Oscar nominations and awards if you turn to art, or have connotations.
Then through the film company, the reverse acquisition of newspapers and TV stations is a matter of course.
After thinking about these things clearly, Li Changheng smiled and licked Annie's lips with expectant eyes.
"Aren't we going to set up a foundation and then sponsor England's Olympic sports like equestrian, archery and canoeing?
Since this is the case, let’s just shoot a documentary about the Nissan training of the English Olympians, the difficulties they encountered, and your efforts and efforts in this matter.
Lest you and I spend so much time and money, most ordinary people in England don't know it in the end.
Then use this pro bono documentary to find out what the attitude of the people of England and the rest of the royal family is to your presence on film. "
"God, you're so calculating, my dear."
After finishing speaking, Annie quickly covered her mouth, and twisted and twisted on Li Changheng who rolled her eyes with a smile.
"I'm sorry, honey, that's what my grandmother said, I just slipped it by accident."
Now it was Annie's turn to pout in dissatisfaction.
Early the next morning, Li Changheng scented Annie who was still sleeping soundly.
Get up and eat breakfast.
With Barney, Trench, Blade and Banks and others, they took four Cadillac luxury cars to the private airport more than 20 kilometers away.
Two Bell-204s, the civilian version of the Huey helicopter, the main force of the United States in the Vietnam War, were waiting on the tarmac.
Everyone in the Expendables knows how to fly a Huey, let alone a civilian version.
Li Changheng himself sat in the driver's seat, and nodded with Barney who was sitting beside him.
After communicating with another helicopter through the on-board radio system, he slowly pulled up the control stick and flew straight over the sea off New York.
Three hours later, the helicopter showed up at the National Guard Air Force Base in Virginia.
Before landing, Li Changheng saw General Kenny, Lieutenant Colonel Scott, and five or six people in military uniforms waiting at the gate of the hangar outside the helicopter landing pad of the base from a distance.
The National Guard is the head of the Air Force at the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the rank is only admiral.
Kenny's status must be enough to award a medal to Li Changheng, who is only a lieutenant.
Maybe it was to get to know the patron, or to see that the business of the first panda restaurant opened by Dylan Robin in Richmond's Naval Base City was so good.
Anyway, when the honor was officially awarded, Li Changheng not only put on the military uniform of an Air Force captain.
At the reception in the auditorium, I saw a lieutenant general and several major generals of the navy.
These people are all nominally grateful to Li Changheng for giving the retired seal a well-paid job.
The actual purpose is to express the meaning of cooperation in a vague way when talking.
As for what kind of cooperation it is, just listen to them talking about Dylan Robin who is next to Li Changheng from time to time.
I knew that although I didn't say it clearly, I definitely wanted my relatives to join the Panda Restaurant.
There is no need for Li Changheng to refuse this kind of thing, nor is it possible to refuse.
The naval family base area is under the control of this group of people.
Offending them, it is certainly not impossible to stop driving, but there will definitely be troublesome things.
Moreover, the processing center has been in operation for half a month, and it only supplies Dylan's franchise stores, which is already losing labor wages.
Dylan went to London to investigate for a week and got the sales data of eleven panda restaurants in London during that time.
Back in Richmond, Virginia, while staring at the construction of the security company's base, I was looking for someone to work overtime to decorate the restaurant in the Navy family area.
Opened for ten days, the restaurant of more than 200 square meters is at meal time, as long as someone leaves the 120 seats, someone will sit down with a lunch box soon.
The scene was busier than the cafeteria at the naval base.
The biggest customer group is military families who don't like cooking by themselves, and children who don't like novel food.
After ten days, the turnover exceeded 30,000 US dollars, and the net profit was 5,000 US dollars, which is about 15,000 US dollars a month.
Even if the novelty of the people in the future base passes and there is no profit of 180,000 a year, 100,000 is still guaranteed.
The 3,600-acre farm that Li Changheng bought has an annual income of only 150,000 US dollars.
So, let alone 100,000 a year, I am willing to share half a share with Li Changheng every year.
These high-level military officers who see the benefits will jump out sooner or later to make a fortune.
And Li Changheng's business strategy is also very simple.
He paid for the store, because the store will appreciate in value in the future, and it avoids the worry of being kept taking advantage of the opportunity to increase the rent.
With the property rights of the store, franchisees can rest assured, and future investment institutions and shareholders can also rest assured.
The decoration is also in the same style, but the franchisee operates according to regulations.
The annual rent and brand franchise fee are collected from the store's 3-tier profit.
If the purchase of the food processing center is added, Li Changheng and the franchisee will almost equally share the profits of each store.
Since you don't need to operate it yourself, you just need to keep an eye on the semi-finished food processing center to prevent food safety issues and corruption.
Then Li Changheng's people only need to watch the restaurant every month, how many raw materials are imported from the processing center, and then they can know the turnover of that month.
Even in order to guard against restaurant troubles, the review can be handed over to the tax department of the United States, accounting and law firms that have cooperative relations.
Under the double investigation of the accounting and taxation departments, even if there are still problems, it is not a big problem.
And there will always be a day of exposure, when the role of lawyers will be manifested.
Is the lawyer hired by the franchisee stronger than the entire lawyer team of a large group?
Of course, the franchisee's contract will definitely stipulate a minimum standard, if it falls below a certain amount, he will leave and find someone to run the business again.
There are still many rights and restrictions, which are all lawyers' problems, and the contract will continue to improve according to the problems encountered in the future.
