Chapter 0517 New Year

The development of the Golden Arches in the Soviet Union was not only good, but the real situation can be described as green light all the way, and it was cared for by governments at all levels.

This is thanks to the development model of the Golden Arches, a win-win cooperation, and the Soviet authorities also obtained a lot of technology related to food processing.

This was an agreement reached before, and the United States did not prohibit it.

It's just that their land has a life limit, and Golden Arches only has 50 years of use rights. This is what makes Golden Arches most dissatisfied.

But 50 years can still make the Golden Arches make a lot of money, which is enough.

Besides, most of these lands are special allocations, which means you don’t have to pay a penny. What the Soviet Union values ​​is technology, jobs and taxes.

Li Zitao, on the other hand, values ​​immediate interests. The United States and the Soviet Union will enter the Cold War in less than 20 years. What long-term considerations will be made by then? Everything will be left to you, communism.

Taking advantage of the good relations between the United States and the Soviet Union, just make a fortune and leave.

During World War II, Li Zitao would ask Golden Gongmen to package and sell all Soviet businesses and find a successor in their country.

All the processing plants and so on were given away, and only the franchise rights were retained. This must be kept in hand, otherwise there would be no excuses for people to open their own McDonald's during the Cold War.

Li Zitao did not comment on what Lawrence said about the Golden Arches' plan to open branches in Japan, Australia, Brazil and other places.

He couldn't tell Lawrence that in a few years the Little Red Army would attack Pearl Harbor, and then the United States would join World War II and give them two big mushrooms, right?

However, he still suggested that the branch should use a large number of local people. Except for necessary management and finance, everything else should be recruited locally.

This is in line with the development policy of the Golden Arches, which allows the locals to show up and take charge of management. They only need to make a fortune in silence behind the scenes.





New Year is the favorite festival of young people.

Because there is no need for any prayers, remembrances, names or rules today.

Since early in the morning, the flow of people and vehicles on the street has obviously decreased, and everyone is staying at home to prepare a sumptuous meal for the day.

Mary had to cook by herself today, and then little Mary, Yanyan, Fia, and Norma and her daughter who had just walked in, all crowded into the kitchen.

The servants have been on vacation since last night, and the only ones left in the manor are the bodyguards, and the others, including Dan and others, have gone back to reunite with their families.

The women were preparing food for the day in the kitchen, and Li Zitao was equally busy in the study...making phone calls.

Arrangements have also been made over at Liberty City. The servants will take turns taking vacations in two waves. Xiangzi, who is alone, celebrates the New Year with Jiabao there.

Juliana, Celia, Elena, no one made it easy. After dialing the phone, they made various conditions.

After the New Year, she divides it into several days, she wants a few days, and she wants a few days again.

Li Zitao agreed to them all and then called Ingrid Bergman.

"When are you going to come to Hollywood?" Bergman officially graduated in November. Li Zitao originally wanted her to fly here, but she said that she would have fewer opportunities to see her parents in the future and would have to spend the New Year at home.

"Will you pick me up on the 6th?" Bergman said in a low voice, with a bit of shyness in her tone. She couldn't raise her head when her parents looked at her strangely.

"Of course, I'll let someone arrange it." After chatting with her for a few more words, the sound of loving laughter and teasing came from the phone, causing Bergman to hang up the phone in a hurry.

Bergman's body felt hot at the thought of seeing him in a few days, and two blushes rose on his cheeks under his parents' scrutinizing and joking eyes.

His wild horse lady Lima, canary Xiao Daiyu, Yan Meiren, Xu Man from the desert paradise, little flight attendant Lily, seducing Joey in uniform, and lining up to act coquettishly.

Xiao Daiyu's obsession and resentment on the phone made Li Zitao feel so weak that he almost went numb. He decided to go back and bring this little fairy to his side to comfort him.

By the time he came out of the study, lunch was almost ready, and the pineapple pie prepared by Mary looked very appetizing.

"Lunch is almost ready, are you done yet?" Mary put the pie on the table and said pointedly.

"Yes." Li Zitao nodded a little guilty, and then he caught up and said he wanted to help.

"Go and take a look at the water in the swimming pool. The children are going to swim after lunch." Mary kicked him out of the room, not knowing whether it had anything to do with his behavior in the study.

I used the drain net to clean the fallen leaves on the pool, but nothing else happened. The water was just changed last night before the servants left, and it was clean!

"Charlie, it's time to eat." Eric ran out of the back door and said to him with a red face.

The weather gradually turns colder at the end of the year, even in California, which is always summery. The cold wind from the north is biting, but the house is very warm.

The large fireplace burned red, and there was a flue in the gap between the two floors. The hot air swirled inside and was discharged from the upper outlet, making the room warm.

This is the same principle as the earth dragons in ancient times. Although air conditioners are very convenient now, the noise is too loud and the wind blown out is too dry. It is not as warm as the earth dragons.

At the castle under construction, the design of the hot air pipe circuit in the floor mezzanine took nearly two months.

In winter, the four large boilers are burning hot. The evaporated water vapor after adding water can heat the castle floor. Not only can it drive away the cold air and make it look less gloomy, but it can also maintain moisture all year round.

.

It's just a bit of waste coal. Four large boilers that are taller than a person would cost thousands to burn each month.

Needless to say, the lunch was sumptuous, but no one here could drink. It was all juice with honey.

Since taking his daughter back, Bakker has given up drinking completely and only uses drugs to control his mind.

Mary can drink some fruit wine, but she has finished all the fruit wine she brought from Luxembourg, and the fruit wine here is not to her liking.

Drinking alone is no fun, so Li Zitao just drank a few glasses and concentrated on dealing with the American crayfish in front of him.

The lobster, which can stretch up to 1 meter long and weighs 20 kilograms, is quite troublesome to eat. The servants and cooks are on holiday, so Li Zitao can only prepare it himself.

The person who opened the shells and took out the meat had many tools beside the table, but they were of no use to him.

With a hard squeeze with both hands, the shrimp claws, which were thicker than his arms, were opened, revealing the white and tender shrimp meat inside.

After dividing the portions among the children, he broke open the other shrimp and gave it to Sister Mary and Buckel. Li Zitao opened the head of the shrimp and saw large pieces of shrimp yellow dripping with soup, just like boiled honey. It was very delicious.

Tempting.
