    Acquiring WeWork is the easiest thing. As long as the Blackstone Group comes forward, it can be purchased for millions of dollars in up to a month, including their WeWork company registered name.  It¡¯s not that the name WeWork is so important, it¡¯s just that they used the name WeWork to become famous in their previous life. Now it¡¯s just a matter of hundreds of thousands of dollars more. Xiao Qi is also willing to let it retain a little more of the trajectory of its previous life.  The acquisition of Chipotle, a burrito company, is not that difficult.  Acquisitions like this happen all day long in the United States. It is estimated that even Americans themselves are used to this kind of life.  "As long as the Coca-Cola Company doesn't change its owner right after waking up, Americans basically won't meddle in these nosy matters.  What's more, there are only 80 fast-food restaurants like Chipotle worth two to three billion US dollars in the United States. There are so many competitors. Before Chipotle fully exerts its power, not many people can watch it.  It turned out to be such a precious piece of gold.  People always say how good the United States is and how the businesses there are conscientious and will not harm their own people, but is it really like that?  We don¡¯t need to be hypocritical. We only need to see that Chipotle has trampled McDonald¡¯s and KFC under its feet and become one of the most popular healthy fast food restaurants in the United States. We know that Americans are often harmed by junk food, and they also hope to eat it.  There are healthier foods.  This is actually the same as our roadside fried dough sticks stall, which insists on changing the cooking oil regularly in front of everyone every day, which will make people think that he is very conscientious and take more care of his business, except for fried dough sticks  It's just not as high-end as a burrito.  So we can also know that the secret of chipotle¡¯s success lies in healthy eating.  Xiao Qi remembers that because Chipotle did not expect that it would develop so fast, the meat supply contract they signed with the ranch could not keep up with the consumption caused by expanding the store. For example, the stuffing of shredded pork was often sold very early.  It was empty, which made the diners complain a lot.  If you want to develop chipotle more in the future, you need to prepare in advance in the United States.  In Xiao Qi¡¯s memory, China¡¯s Shuanghui acquired Smithfield, the world¡¯s largest pork processing company in the United States, in 2013, spending more than 7 billion U.S. dollars.  Xiao Qi doesn¡¯t like such a processing factory with very simple functions, because it does not control the original source of food raw materials and is just a food processing industry.  ¡°Besides, one of Shuanghui¡¯s major shareholders is Goldman Sachs, and Goldman Sachs is also a shareholder of Smithfield. Xiao Qi will never believe that Goldman Sachs is not behind the scenes and doing some asset transfers.  Goldman Sachs must have a purpose for doing things. It will never do things for no reason, and it will definitely not do good things.  They are so evil!  Back to the topic.  If you want to impress the founders of chipotle and convince them to become Xiao Qi's subordinates, it is best to directly buy enough land to build your own pasture and raise enough pigs, cattle and sheep for chipotle's use.  It doesn¡¯t matter if there are more pigs, cattle, and sheep produced. Americans still welcome high-quality meat.  Even though this is still too much, it can also be made into various processed meat products, such as bacon, sausages, canned food, etc., which can still consume a lot of meat.  Of course, such a situation is generally unlikely to occur.  Don¡¯t think that only Chinese people like to eat meat. Americans definitely eat more meat than Chinese people. In fact, people in Europe and the United States eat a lot of meat. Chinese dishes have both meat and vegetables, while European and American people generally eat more meat than a slap in the face.  Chewing the big pieces of meat directly, or using a knife and fork, will definitely make more meat than eating two or three dishes.  Therefore, as long as Xiao Qi does not enclose half of the United States to raise pigs, cattle and sheep, there is no need to worry about unsalable meat.  ¡°Besides, the economy in the United States is so sluggish now, and ranches are closing down one after another. If Xiao Qi invests, they will not be happy in time.  As for the vegetable ingredient base, it doesn¡¯t have to be that troublesome. First of all, there are hundreds of vegetable ingredients, and the seasons are different, so the quantities required are not large. If you make it yourself, it seems too cumbersome.  It is better to directly outsource it to some farmers around the chipotle store, which can not only solve their own material problems, but also generate income for them and create a good reputation. If anything happens to chipotle in the future, they will definitely be more nervous than Xiao Qi, because this  But it is related to their jobs!  ¡°American farmers are the most terrifying. This truth was reflected in China¡¯s anti-agricultural dumping investigation two years ago.??The people of the world already know this.  There are also farmers employed in the ranch. If we add them all together, whoever dares to touch chipotle will usher in large-scale protests by at least tens of thousands of farmers, which is something no government wants to see.  Xiao Qi is very familiar with the United States, but he doesn¡¯t know much about this specific agricultural and animal husbandry production.  But it doesn¡¯t matter, he knows people who know about agriculture and animal husbandry.  Taking out his cell phone, Xiao Qi made a call.  "Wade, what are you doing?" "Haha, Qi Shao, I'm working in the office now, what's the matter?" Wade, the president of Citibank's New York branch, said with a smile.  "I heard you say before that you are from California. You also worked for Citibank in California for 10 years? You were specifically responsible for agricultural loans in California?" "Yes, my family runs a farm, so I  I am very familiar with farms. After I entered the credit department of a bank, I started to get agricultural loans. There are too many to mention. There are more than 80,000 farms in California. I have gone through all of the top 1,000 farms more than once, including the top 3,000.  I know it too!" Wade said very proudly.  In fact, it was because of his amazing memory, his ability to know every customer he dealt with, and his good relationship with them, and his outstanding achievements in agricultural loans that he rose through the ranks to become the vice president of the branch in California.  Then he was transferred to the Asset Management Department of the New York Branch.  Speaking of which, he has a good relationship with Xiao Qi because he has always been enthusiastic and likes to help, so he can be appreciated by Xiao Qi and can now climb to this position.  He can even be friendly with Xiao Qi, let alone the group of farmers in Western California. They are inherently honest and rough, and as long as they like him, they are all friends. Wade is like a fish in water, and it is not without reason.  Xiao Qi first talked about his intention to acquire Chipotle, and then said: "So I want to buy some farms in California, dedicated to raising pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry to achieve self-sufficiency in raw materials."  "Maximize, what do you think we should do?" "This question is very simple!" Although Wade has left California to work in New York for several years, he goes home for a month's vacation every year, so he is no stranger there.  "I went to investigate the number of customers and ingredients used by Chipotle every day, and then calculated how many livestock should be purchased based on consumption, and how much land these livestock would occupy. As for the more demand brought about by future growth,  There is also a calculation formula. Based on this result, I will select a dozen large farms for you and merge some surrounding farms. It will be enough. There are also transportation issues, not to mention the fresh slaughter and cold chain in the United States.  The transportation is very complete, and it is not uncommon to ship freshly slaughtered livestock meat to various states in the United States within a day. In fact, I think you can buy more wheat farms to make burrito ingredients.  Yes, it will be more convenient. In fact, growing organic wheat is very simple, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can do it, and the rich and young people will definitely support it for healthy eating!  " Hearing what he said was so organized, Xiao Qi nodded secretly: "In this case, I leave this matter to you, can you guarantee that it will be completed? " "It must be completed well!" Wade said seriously, but  The next moment he smiled playfully, "But you see, the Chinese have a saying called 'One thing does not bother two people', which means you don't need two people to do one thing. Since Citibank has helped solve the upstream raw materials, then  Can we also entrust Citibank to do the chipotle acquisition?" "Okay!" Xiao Qi readily agreed.  He understood Wade¡¯s thoughts. In fact, when he called Wade to talk about the farm, he had already decided to hand over the acquisition task to Citibank instead of the Blackstone Group that he had previously considered.  Don¡¯t look at the fact that the acquisition of Chipotle is only a matter of more than 4 billion US dollars. Citibank can only get a commission of about 300 million US dollars at most.  ¡°But when it comes to an acquisition worth more than 4 billion US dollars, it is not a small matter in the United States. Citibank¡¯s participation proves that they have strong capabilities in the eyes of their customers.  ??Besides, it was Xiao Qi who acquired Chipotle. Citibank helped Xiao Qi acquire the company and acquire so many farms. This tells others that they have a good relationship with Xiao Qi.  Since even the world¡¯s richest man trusts Citibank and entrusts us to do business, you ordinary people, why are you hesitating? Come to Citibank to do business!  (To be continued.)
