Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

Most people who know Brother Jun give him some respect.

Some people are afraid of him!

Some show respect!

Some are just making empty promises; once the bidding starts, they'll raise the price however they want, and nobody knows anyone else anyway!

But no matter which one it was, it made Jun Ge feel very proud.

The henchmen around him also started praising him.

"Brother Jun...it seems you're determined to win today!"

"Heh... Today I'll see who dares to deliberately raise the price for Brother Jun, I'll kill him!"

The underlings talked and watched, and some even pointed and whispered at Liu Aiguo.

quickly!

Everyone gathered in the hall turned their attention to Brother Jun.

Even foreigners pointed fingers at him.

There were also some foreigners dressed in suits and ties who walked up to Jun Ge and greeted him in broken Chinese.

Jun Ge's confidence swelled to its peak at that moment.

Once I secure the operating rights to KFC, I'll be a god-like figure in Beijing.

Lao Tzu's illustrious name will soon resound throughout the land of China.

I am the number one gangster in the entire Dragon Kingdom.

So, he walked directly to the stage in three steps, looked at the dozens of bidders below, and said with a faint threat, "Hello everyone, I am Li Jun from Beijing. Those who know me will call me Brother Jun!"

"Today, I'm determined to win the [KFC operating rights in China], and I hope you can all give me face!"

"I'll give face to those who give me face, and I'll give them substance in return!"

"You're not giving me, Li Jun, any face... Hehehehe!"

He didn't say the next sentence.

However, the tone of his voice carried a strong sense of threat.

But these words made the people below very unhappy.

What the hell does that mean?

So, we can't raise the price, so you're the only one who gets the operating rights for this Dragon Kingdom?

Do you think I'm giving you face?

What the hell do you think you are?

However, no one stood up to say anything!

"Alright!" Li Jun on the stage waved to his underlings: "You guys wait for me outside. I'll have good news in half an hour!"

He looked determined to win.

After his underlings had all left, Li Jun deliberately strode over to Liu Aiguo and plopped down in the chair next to him.

"Director Liu, you don't mind me sitting next to you, do you?" Jun's voice was loud...

Liu Aiguo smiled and said, "No, that's your freedom!"

Then, Brother Jun lowered his voice and said, "Director Liu... it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. I know you're not bad, but you're no match for me!"

"How about we turn hostility into friendship?"

Jun Ge looked at Liu Aiguo.

Liu Aiguo extended his right hand and removed the sunglasses from Li Jun's face, saying, "Sorry, I don't like people wearing sunglasses in front of me!"

"Tell me, how can we turn hostility into friendship?"

A hint of annoyance flashed across Li Jun's face: he hadn't expected Liu Aiguo to dare to take off his sunglasses.

"Hmph!" he sneered, "After the bidding ends, you take out two hundred thousand to cover my expenses, and our feud will be wiped clean, how about that?"

"Two hundred thousand?" Liu Aiguo sneered.

Li Jun said, "Yes, two hundred thousand. What's wrong with that... You think it's a loss to buy four of our brothers' fingers for two hundred thousand?"

"No!"

Liu Aiguo took out a Daqianmen cigarette, lit it, and slowly smoked it while saying casually, "How about this, I'll give you 400,000 yuan, and you let me cut off four more fingers!"

"you……"

Li Jun was so angry he almost exploded.

So special...

They didn't give me any face at all.

“Fine…” Li Jun said, “You just wait, you bastard, if you’ve got the guts, go outside and talk!”

Just then, the auction began.

A waitress in a short skirt, about 1.5 meters tall, walked onto the stage with a microphone and said softly, "Dear distinguished guests, today is the auction for the Chinese mainland franchise rights of KFC, a famous catering brand from the United States and renowned worldwide!"

"We have audio and video recordings of the entire event. Please remember to maintain order in the venue and do not threaten other bidders!"

As soon as he said that, everyone looked at Li Jun.

Jun Ge snorted coldly.

The waiter continued, "Next, please welcome Mr. William, the global sales manager of KFC in the United States, to read out the specific bidding details and the division of responsibilities!"

"Everyone is welcome!"

Wow…

Amidst applause, a tall, blond, blue-eyed man in his forties walked onto the stage.

He was accompanied by a beautiful secretary, who was from China.

Chapter 200: Starting bid of $800 million USD, Jun Ge was dumbfounded.

William stood on the throne, holding a page of paper, and began to read.

"Therefore, Wu Ning loves Wu Rui Bay (Good evening, everyone)..."

Then he spoke a long string of words in English.

Liu Aiguo, who hasn't even passed the CET-4 (College English Test Band 4), would definitely be completely confused, but Yu Li could understand it very easily.

But it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter if Yu Li doesn't understand.

Translation is available.

The beautiful secretary next to me is the translator.

After William read all the documents aloud in English, the female secretary read them aloud in Chinese.

"Good evening, everyone. I'd like to repeat Mr. William's words in Chinese, and I hope you can understand!"

"And this auction..."

The beautiful translator also said a lot.

Liu Aiguo summarized two key points.

After the final successful bidder pays the money, they must sign a contract. Once the contract is signed, they will obtain the right to operate the Dragon Kingdom. However, there is one more special note.

First, all store settlement systems must use machines from the United States for settlement. The headquarters is not responsible for the cost of these machines and store renovations; these costs must be borne by the stores themselves.

Therefore: all main ingredients for stores in the Da Long Kingdom region must be provided by the headquarters of Sam's 29, and private purchases are not allowed.

Finally, even if the successful bidder obtains full operating rights in the Dalong Kingdom region and pays the bid amount, they still need to pay 10% of the annual turnover to the headquarters.

ten percent.

Upon hearing this number, Liu Aiguo frowned slightly.

They're still trying to leech off the Greater China market!

Ten percent of the turnover is no small amount.

For example, the total of all the miscellaneous taxes and fees levied on the catering industry, such as business tax, urban construction tax, education surcharge, and local education surcharge, is only about 8%.

But their headquarters immediately demanded 10% of the total revenue.

Niubi!

Taxes are higher than in any other country.

But there's nothing you can do yet.

Because you don't keep your promises, people won't cooperate with you anymore.

Upon hearing this news, half of the people in the auction hall shook their heads and sighed.

How much gross profit do restaurants make?
