Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 389 [The

Guo Xu expressed some views on pizza catering. People’s demand is too great, and it will be difficult not to make money even if it is done well.

He doesn’t know the specific figures. In fact, people’s demand for pizza is several times greater than he imagined. According to statistics in 2014, 94% of Americans regularly eat pizza, and the remaining 6% do not know how to eat it. The average person in the United States eats 46 pieces of pizza per year, and consumes 40 hectares of pizza every day.

If Guo Xu opens a store in other countries, the turnover will be even more terrifying, because people in many countries love to eat this.

They chatted for half an hour, and even though Megan and Christie didn't understand business matters, they felt that this matter was very promising.

Of course Christie hopes to have a great career that she can pursue for life, not to mention that Guo Xu plans to let her be the leader!

Megan was even happier. Not only was she proud, but she was also showing off when she saw her sister smiling weirdly. Look how amazing a man I am, I can easily make a feasible plan to make a fortune.

Of course, Guo Xu did not make a plan casually, but had memories from his past life as a reference. LeBron James, the little emperor of the Cavaliers in his previous life, made huge returns from investing in a pizza restaurant, which has been reported in the news many times.

James, who has both high IQ and EQ, is not only one of the most outstanding players in NBA history, but he has also continued to prove that he is a successful businessman with a vision.

In 2012, James funded Flame Pizza with US$1 million and obtained 10% of the shares. In just five years, this restaurant chain has enjoyed a booming business and has been named the fastest-growing restaurant in the United States. Its market value is estimated to have reached US$250 million.

The brand expansion rate of Flame Pizza is sensational. In 2013, its total network turnover was only US$6 million, and in 2016 it reached US$185 million. The company's CEO believes that by 2022, the revenue target is US$1.1 billion.

Calculated, the value of James' shares in 2017 reached at least US$25 million. Including his endorsement fees and dividends, the total amount reached US$35 million to US$40 million, which means that his original investment has increased at least 35 times.

This kind of investment is so coveted that Durant, who likes to follow James on and off the court, also invested in a pizza chain called Pieology.

Pieology completely copied the model of Lieyan Pizza in terms of products and services, but it failed to sell it. It accounted for less than 1% of the US pizza market, while Lieyan Pizza became the fifth largest pizza chain in the United States. The reason is simple. Durant started too late. He might lose all his money just by relying on his popularity to seize the already saturated pizza market.

The success of Blaze Pizza lies in the way it operates.

Customers can freely mix and match ingredients, with choices including 7 kinds of cheese, 8 kinds of protein, 20 kinds of vegetables and 3 kinds of sauces. It can be prepared in 3 minutes after the combination is completed. Its unique and highly interactive consumption experience is very popular. People love it.

Christie likes to make random combinations when making pizza, and the taste is very good. As long as she teaches a group of apprentices, she should be able to do what Blazing Pizza can do.

There is currently no pizza restaurant in the United States that can freely mix ingredients. As long as Guo Xu invests in opening a store this year, they will start seven years earlier than Flame Pizza. This advantage will be so great that it will be impossible to catch up. James' future Flame will definitely be extinguished. .

On how to do it specifically, Guo Xu plans to discuss it with his agent Happy Waters. They are both laymen in terms of management, so they need to find trustworthy people to participate in the operation.

Christie will be staying in Phoenix permanently. For the time being, she will stay at Guo Xu's house. The villa has multiple guest rooms. When Guo Xu goes to play away games, the two sisters and their dog Buddy will not be bored at home together.

In the evening, the three of them watched the live broadcast of the Timberwolves VS Nets game at home. After a crazy iron fight, the Timberwolves lost to the Nets 61-84.

The Timberwolves' poor performance is good news for the Suns and Lakers. They also want to have a good record in the regular season and strive to gain home court advantage in the playoffs.

Some people commented on the Internet that the Suns' games can sometimes reach this score with their opponents in the half. Many fans who have been attracted to offensive basketball in recent years and have been developed by the Lakers and Suns are no longer optimistic about the Timberwolves. The lineup has been improved to this level, why is the offensive power still so poor?

The reason is very simple. The Timberwolves' offensive and defensive transitions are not fast enough. They are a team that focuses on positional combat. Alien Cassell is a heavy point guard who is good at playing half-court positions. Sprewell cannot be the only one on the team. Play a fast attack, right?

Moreover, the Timberwolves are not playing in the best lineup. Last season, star small forward Szczerbiak missed 30 games due to injury. Now plantar fasciitis in his left foot will make him absent from time to time. People will not see him at the beginning of the regular season. .

Last season, Szczerbiak played with an injury and helped the Timberwolves catch up from ninth in the mid-term to fifth in the final league. The price was the worsening of the injury. His poor performance in the playoffs was even called a softie by Garnett.

Szczerbiak will no longer play with injuries this season. The media only talks about the three-headed monster and not mentions him much. It seems that the two newcomers are much better than him. Is it worth fighting for it? He needed to heal his injury first. In his words, the pain was as if he had stepped on his own tail.

Timberwolves coach Sanders also said: Although Szczerbiak's injury has improved, we still don't know when he can return to the game. We don't want to let him play too early to cause a recurrence of the injury.

In this game, only Garnett scored in double figures in the Timberwolves, scoring 23 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. Sprewell made 4 of 18 shots and Cassell made 2 of 10 shots. Their performance was terrible.

Guo Xu will not underestimate the Timberwolves because of this. The three-headed monster's unstable performance is because the players who have just joined need time to adjust. They will get better in the later period. Szczerbiak will definitely come back in the playoffs. It is an important three-point shooting point for the team.

For the Nets, Kidd scored 21 points, 11 rebounds, 14 assists and 4 steals. Kenyon Martin also scored 26 points and 6 rebounds. Kidney Warrior Mourning had 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

Regarding the Nets, Guo Xu didn't take it to heart. The team had too many problems. The conflict between Kidd and head coach Byron Scott has become public. No. 2 Mosquito Kittles is injured, and the Nets have serious hidden dangers inside. Even if they are lucky enough to reach the Finals, they will probably be swept. life.

Mourning obviously couldn't run anymore and was assigned as a substitute in the regular season. He was really playing hard and could fall down at any time.

In his previous life, Mourning had a kidney transplant when he was with the Nets. He drank vegetable juice as a drink every day. With perseverance, he returned to the game and won the championship with the Heat in 2006. His experience is really continuous. God was so moved that he cried. It was not like scoring a few goals in a row and winning a regular season game.

Guo Xu has caused many butterfly effects, one of which is more embarrassing, that is Haslem joined the Suns to be his little brother. In his previous life in 2006, Haslem was at the peak of his career and was the Heat's starting power forward. He played a key role on both offense and defense, 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, they would not be able to reach the Finals and would not be able to break out in the Eastern Conference.

Guo Xu can analyze the situation of each team through his past life memories. The Lakers have little time left for O'Neal. Unless he can lead the team to win the championship this season, it will be difficult to stay.

The Lakers will play against the Suns tomorrow. How many shots can O'Neal make? (https:)
