Expedition to Europe

There is still a big difference in the thinking about money between Westerners and Easterners.

In the eyes of Westerners, there is no shame in obtaining money from others by seeking investment, as long as they can give investors due returns in the future. This is completely different from the Eastern "gentleman" character.

What is a "gentleman"?

A gentleman must stay away from home, be ashamed of his words and profits, 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 ordinary can do it. Always talking about "money".

Qin Zhiyuan is obviously not that pedantic, so when he chatted with Pierre about the issue of "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 can be easily solved. As long as they work harder, it won't be a problem. The rich worry about capital strength. Then It's real money, and being diligent or not can't solve the problem.

However, Pierre did not have Qin Zhiyuan's awareness. In terms of "making money", Pierre still trusted Qin Zhiyuan, so after hearing Qin Zhiyuan's words, Pierre immediately felt relieved: "That's good, you think about it. The method is open source, I will find a way to spend money——"

That's right - Qin Zhiyuan really had 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 dial it. Julie was still sitting next to him. Qin Zhiyuan could only glare at Pierre angrily, that's all.

"You go to 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, burgers, French fries, egg tarts, soda, ice products, salads, fruits, etc., oh, it's okay. plus pizza , we don’t want to eat Italian, let’s make our own - and Lanfang’s steamed buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk, etc., are all here. I have already thought of the name for you, let’s call it KFC -” Qin Zhiyuan didn’t waste any nonsense, Immediately, a four-faced figure came out.

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 more than one kind, and it was even more abundant than KFC in the 21st century. Moreover, Colonel Sanders, who founded KFC, did not have the resources of Rockefeller. and strength, if Pierre really starts to expand KFC's market with the help of Rockefeller's resources in the United States, then KFC will not need to wait until the end of the twentieth century to become a global top 100, and it may be possible 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 that Qin Zhiyuan would set up an oil and gas group, a mining group or something, or at least a clothing and transportation company. This It was more or less a respectable industry, the catering industry—or a nondescript fast food, which 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, the 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, and more importantly Most of the time, Pierre's meal time was spent at various banquets, and he had no chance to come into contact with "fast food".

"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 I will be too. So KFC can't let Rockefeller get involved and can only use their channels to expand. The profit must be controlled by us. In hand, first of all, you 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 use 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 way -" Pierre had a vague idea of ​​the scale Qin Zhiyuan described.

"No? That's an understatement. Speaking of KFC, we have to talk about Pepsi. Send someone to the United States to look for it. If I remember correctly, Pepsi should have gone bankrupt. Go find Pradohan and buy Pepsi from him, and then sell it in KFC restaurants. Remember, let everyone buy Pepsi immediately when they are thirsty. This will become a market with more prospects than KFC." Qin Zhiyuan has many ideas.

If Qin Zhiyuan remembers correctly, Pepsi, which was born in 1898, will go bankrupt this year, that is, in 1923. It will not appear on the market again until eight years later. Qin Zhiyuan wants to seize this time difference and buy the Pepsi brand before Hilco Gus.

At this time, Coca-Cola has no future market position. In its original history, Coca-Cola had to follow the footsteps of American soldiers to spread all over the world. Coca-Cola's slogan at the time was to let all American soldiers buy a bottle of Coca-Cola at a price of five cents.

This slogan is not a Coca-Cola patent. Americans who adhere to "isolationism" have no ambition to expand globally. Lanfang can completely replace the United States, at least in Asia.

In fact, the combination of Pierre and Rockefeller is still very competitive. Pierre is European and Rockefeller is American. They can completely occupy the huge market in the United States and Europe together.

Qin Zhiyuan will certainly not give up this opportunity. In fact, the most ideal situation is that Qin Zhiyuan, Pierre and Rockefeller each hold one-third of the shares. In this way, whether it is KFC or Pepsi, they will be unimpeded in Europe, Asia and the United States.

Thinking about this prospect, Qin Zhiyuan is really a little excited.

"So, start now?" Pierre is still a little uncertain.

"Of course, start now. If you don't want to do it, then I'll go to Allen--" Qin Zhiyuan has a second plan. If Pierre and Rockefeller don't work, Qin Zhiyuan can also use Allen and the Mellon family.

The original text is in the six # 9 @book/bar!

"Of course, of course, no problem, start right away, I'm not against it--" Pierre agreed hurriedly, but his brows were still frowning.

"KFC--a very good name. If it's not convenient for you to run it, how about we women do it?" Julie, who was sitting next to him, finally found a chance to interrupt.

In fact, Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre are both politicians, and it's really not appropriate for them to be in the "fast food" industry. Especially Pierre, even if the French are more open-minded, they may not want the owner of a fast food restaurant to become the president of France.

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. It's estimated that Rockefeller will not be interested in a small toy made by a few women. When Rockefeller realizes the prospects of KFC, it will not be something Rockefeller can eat.

"This is a good idea--" Pierre agreed immediately, and he was relieved.

"You are really..." Qin Zhiyuan wanted to say that Pierre was a useless person, but for Julie's sake, Qin Zhiyuan showed some mercy.

"Honey, tell me about KFC and Pepsi. Is the fried chicken the kind we usually eat?" Julie was in high spirits, and her eyes sparkled when she talked about "money".

Qin Zhiyuan suddenly felt a little bad. Such a Julie really looked like a money-grubber. Don't let her lead the children astray.

"It's similar to the fried chicken we usually eat, but it needs a few more processing steps. It should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The outer skin should be crispy and delicious, and the chicken inside should be fresh and delicious. Pre-marinating is essential, and a pressure cooker is also a must-use tool. -" Qin Zhiyuan tried his best to recall the method of frying chicken. Fortunately, except for the unclear formula, there was no error in the procedure.

KFC's fried chicken formula is indeed a secret. In the 21st century, this formula was stored in a safe in a bank in Louisville, USA, to increase KFC's legendary effect.

In fact, it is just a gimmick. The fried chicken recipe originally had only eleven ingredients, which was developed by Sanders alone. It may not have much scientific content. In the 21st century, the recipe has increased to more than 40 ingredients, which shows that it was not perfect at the beginning.

Of course, these more than 40 ingredients are just KFC's publicity, and it is not known how many of them play a key role.

Qin Zhiyuan now has a lot of researchers. In terms of raw materials, Chinese food has much richer raw materials than Americans. If Qin Zhiyuan assigns tasks, the formula he develops may be better than KFC's.

It may not be as good as the formula configured by computer in the 21st century, but at least it is better than the one Sanders originally made.
