Reborn Capital Empire

Chapter 530 Guo's Group

…

After touching his little head, Gordon Lincoln turned his eyes to the side and saw that Elizabeth and George had received gifts, and the little girls who looked envious were on their faces.

Seeing him walking towards her, the little girl hugged her father's thigh in fear. However, Mengmeng's big eyes were still staring at the uncle who came to her side and squatted down.

"My name is Gordon, what's your name?"

"My name is Nan Nan!"

After receiving encouragement from her father, the little girl said timidly. Perhaps because of the lack of maternal love since childhood, she is more introverted than the average child.

"Nan Nan, the name is really nice." After nodding, Gordon handed over another conch shell he took out of his suitcase.

Compared with the previous one, the current conch is larger, about 223 centimeters in length, and its color is yellow and white. The shape is also not conical, but spread out like an open palm.

These two conch shells, he originally planned to give one to Elizabeth and one to George. Now that I have Nannan, I have no choice but to send the bullet casings I picked up on the battlefield when I was fighting in Iraq as a gift. Originally, this bullet casing was originally reserved for himself as a souvenir.

"Like it?"

"Like, thank you Uncle Gordon!"

Looking at the happy little girl, Mata touched her little head and stood up, briefly looked at Liu Zhixing in front of him, and stretched out his right hand towards him with a smile.

"Gordon Lincoln, nice to meet you!"

"Liu Zhixing. I've always heard Catherine say that she has an excellent younger brother, and now I finally meet him."

After the two shook hands, Mata looked at Catherine next to her, "She never said I was good."

Catherine directly gave him a roll of eyes.

"Mata!"

"Gordon!"

After the two brothers hugged directly, "Sorry, I didn't have time to pick you up."

"It's okay. And I'm back already."

After he finished speaking, his eyes turned to one side, "You should be the Julia that parents often mentioned, right?"

"Julia Lescari, I often hear Matta talk about you."

After the two briefly greeted, Guo Shouyun greeted everyone and sat down.

"Mata, how long is your vacation this time?" Guo Shouyun asked.

"One month!"

"So long?"

"The frontal war in Iraq is over, my 25th Infantry Division was ordered to withdraw to Hawaii for repairs, and I applied for a one-month vacation."

"Are you going to fight in Iraq in the future?" Mary asked quickly. As a mother, she didn't want to see her son enter a dangerous battlefield again.

"Probably not. Our 25th Division is a light infantry division focused on tropical operations. The main purpose of going to Iraq this time is to exercise and increase war experience. Now that the mission is completed, we will not go back."

Of course, this is him comforting his mother. In fact, because of his outstanding performance in the Iraq War, he has been promoted to major by the U.S. military staff, and transferred to the U.S. ace unit, with the code name of "Marne Rock", the third aircraft division as the major battalion commander. Only after this vacation is over, the appointment will be officially issued to the troops, and then they will be transferred to the Iraqi battlefield to continue their service and maintain the military occupation of Iraq by the US military.

"That's good, that's good!"

Guo Shouyun, who is good at observing words and expressions, saw the hesitation in Mata's eyes, but he didn't pick it up.

"It's rare that you can take such a long vacation and stay at home for a few more days." Guo Shouyun said with a smile.

"Let Bruce take you to Baker Beach and maybe solve your single problem!" Matta also laughed.

"Why do you say that I really want to find no girlfriend. Anyway, I'm also a captain officer, and I'm not bad looking."

We chatted about everyday things, and in the evening everyone had dinner together. Then Guo Shouyun mentioned that after everyone took a family photo together, they dispersed.

Because it was very late, and the old house here was often cleaned by the Lincolns and maintained well. Therefore, Guo Shouyun's family stayed here directly at night.

"Are the kids asleep?"

"Yeah!" Wendy nodded, lifted the sheet, put it on Guo Shouyun's arms and lay down.

"This is where you grew up?"

"Yeah! Before I went to college, I lived here almost every day." Guo Shouyun looked around.

Although the memory about this place belongs to Bruce Guo, but he inherited the other's body, but he always feels that these memories are the same as what he experienced since he was a child. emotion.

Wendy lightly nodded her head, and after a while, "Darling, do you want to go look for your family?"

"Why do you ask that all of a sudden?"

"After going through the party tonight, I think it is happier to have a well-rounded family!"

"If I can have a complete family, of course it is the best thing. However, when I was a baby, I was adopted by my adoptive father, and I don't have the slightest impression of my original family. trouble!"

"But what if your parents didn't abandon them on purpose, but because of other things that led you to separate? If you give up searching, wouldn't they let them die with a lifetime of regrets!?"

Guo Shouyun's body was shocked, and his expression became silent.

The reason why he didn't want to look for his biological parents in this life was because in his last life, after his parents remarried, they had done him a lot of damage. Let him subconsciously, want to escape this kind of harm. But he also had to admit that what Wendy said was indeed possible.

Seeing his complicated expression, Wendy said cautiously, "Why don't you do this? Let me handle this matter. If I can find your original parents in the future, I will first find out the truth of what happened back then, and then see if they have any. Searched for you. If they didn't search, or... then we'll just pretend it didn't happen."

She originally wanted to say "abandoned", but considering Guo Shouyun's feelings, she omitted these two words.

"Since you're investigating, go check it out! However, don't reveal my identity without my permission!"

"Do not worry!"

"Then you can sleep now!"

"Um!"

After turning off the lights, I was silent all night. The next day, Guo Shouyun got up and ran step by step. Catherine, who also had the habit of running in the morning, also followed, and Liu Zhixing beside her.

"The two of you are in the same pace, and you both came out and ran?"

"Does life lie in movement?"

Liu Zhixing laughed.

"This sentence is true! ... Then let's exercise."

When the words fell, he overtook the two of them and accelerated towards the depths of the farm.

"It's like we can't outrun you!"

Catherine shouted and ran after him. Seeing the two people running like crazy, Liu Zhixing shook his head helplessly, and followed after him.

After running five kilometers at a high speed of more than 13 speeds, the three of them were exhausted. In the process of walking back slowly, it was inevitable to talk about the company.

"...In the two quarters of 2003, the total revenue of Guo's Business Group was US$6.284 billion and the net profit was US$1.62 billion. As of the end of June 2003, the company had total assets of US$15.386 billion, including US$2.478 billion in cash assets and US$11.874 billion in fixed assets. ; The total liabilities are 6.63 billion US dollars, about 43.3%. Among them, the current liabilities are 2.89 billion US dollars, accounting for about 18.8%!”

"...In terms of retail business, there are now 1,834 Baccarat stores in the United States, with self-owned stores accounting for 41.7%. The total revenue in the two quarters was 1.63 billion US dollars, and the net profit was 467 million US dollars."

"...In terms of agriculture and animal husbandry, we now have 73 farms with a total area of ​​1.024 million acres. There are 46 slaughterhouses with an annual slaughtering capacity of 720,000 heads. In the two quarters of 2003, the total revenue was US$1.53 billion, and the net profit was US$230 million."

"...In terms of logistics, we now have 433 large trucks, 1,247 medium-sized trucks, 3,277 small trucks, and 13 B747-400F and B757-200F cargo planes. We have initially built a logistics network that can cover most of the United States. In the two quarters of 2003, the total revenue of the logistics business was US$1.13 billion and the net profit was US$247 million.”

"...In terms of catering, there are 16,733 Burger King branches, with self-owned stores accounting for 12.5%, and the rest are franchise stores. In the two quarters of 2003, the total revenue was US$1.994 billion, and the net profit was US$310 million~www.wuxiaspot.com~After listening , Guo Shouyun nodded, "I roughly estimated that Baccarat's profit accounted for 28%, while Burger King's was only 15%. It seems that self-owned properties are indeed of great benefit to the future development of the company. "

"More than 18% of Burger King's revenue is used to pay for storefront rent. And this fee will also rise with the increase in US real estate prices." Katherine said.

"So we need to push forward the proportion of Burger King's self-owned properties as soon as possible."

"We are already doing this. But Burger King has close to 17,000 branches and is still growing. In addition, property investment is an asset-heavy project and requires huge capital. Although Guo's income is constantly increasing, it is very It’s hard to juggle Baccarat and Burger King.”

"Do your best. After the acquisition of Unocal, I have no extra funds to help you."

"I will find a way myself. However, Guo's cash flow is quite large. Why don't you operate it for us. I don't want to double the growth, as long as it reaches 40 to 50 percent."

"Forty to fifty percent?" Guo Shouyun shook his head, dumbfounded, "Do you think I am the Federal Reserve? I will issue as many U.S. bonds as I want? Forty to fifty percent of the net income ratio, in addition to strength, What's more important is the opportunity."

"No chance now?"

"You can rest assured and follow what you said, usually put your liquidity in Phoenix, and invest in highly liquid currency assets or short-term debt. If there is an opportunity, I will inform you without you needing to say it."

"All right!"

Catherine shrugged.

After returning home and taking a bath, everyone ate breakfast together. Then, Guo Shouyun took his family and Gordon to present a bouquet of flowers to his adoptive father Guo Jiancheng and cleaned the grave.
