America 1919

Duster Boqi said, "Fourth, regarding the training of personnel, I know you've already decided to recruit those veterans or their family members, but we still need to be cautious about this. To prevent them from colluding internally, we should stipulate that among the veterans and their family members, we will only recruit one person."

"Additionally, concerning the training, if we let them train in Atlantic City, I am worried that the nature of Atlantic City might lead to some issues with these individuals. However, training in New York would be too costly. So, my suggestion is still to start the training in different locations according to the company's divided regions. This way, we can save costs more effectively!"

Donnie thought for a moment and agreed with Duster Boqi's suggestion.

Seeing that Donnie accepted, Duster Boqi continued, "Fifth, the company needs a professional site selection team. The location is extremely important for convenience stores. Additionally, we can learn from A&P and design a unified decoration style, logos, and so on for the company!"

Donnie massaged his temples and then asked, "Do you have any recommendations in this regard?"

Duster Boqi, pointing to the list in Donnie's hand, said, "For this matter, I think Justin Lori is very suitable. He previously handled site selection at A&P, and I exerted quite a lot of effort to bring him over!"

Donnie found Justin Lori's information on the list in his hands.

Justin Lori, male, 39 years old, graduated from Brown University, one of the Ivy League universities in the United States. After graduation, he joined A&P and served as an assistant in the business department, rising to the position of deputy general manager of the business department.

This time he joined the Apollo Chain, and in this list, Duster Boqi also suggested that he take the position of general manager of the company's business department!

Donnie also knew that whether Duster Boqi had thought about using this method to win over Justin Lori or not, as long as Donnie agreed, Justin Lori would certainly be grateful to Duster Boqi.

"Fine, I have no objections, but before he leaves, have him come to see me!"

Donnie was aware of the importance of site selection and, even if he guessed the consequences of agreeing, he had to agree since he had no such talents at hand. Still, for such a person, Donnie wanted to personally win them over!

"Understood!" Duster Boqi nodded.

Then Duster Boqi continued, "The last issue is that once the company here starts up, we will attract attention from other companies. So, we need to pay extra attention in this regard and try to avoid any unexpected problems, especially with the suppliers!"

Donnie said, "Hmm, you guys pay more attention to this!"

After reporting his contents, Duster Boqi stopped speaking.

At this time, Donnie turned to Chris and said with a smile, "Storage and logistics, I believe you know how important these two aspects are for the Apollo Chain without me saying, right?"

Chris nodded and said, "Boss, rest assured, I've already sent Cassie Carvalho and Eva Cowan out. Cassie Carvalho is now looking for suitable cities across the country where our original storage is located, which can match the storage needs of the Apollo Chain. Eva Cowan, on the other hand, is negotiating with Ford Company about continuing to purchase trucks. I believe we'll be hearing back from them soon!"

Donnie nodded in satisfaction.

Storage and logistics would be Donnie's trump cards; with these two trump cards, other retailers would hardly be able to affect Donnie—it would be almost suicidal for them to try!

"You've done well with these two matters, you can continue to prepare. If there's anything else, you can come to me anytime!"

Donnie then concluded this discussion about the Apollo Chain.

Duster Boqi, Barve, and Chris left Donnie's office, leaving Robert and Winston Marl.

"Robert, Winston will follow me to participate in the horse club's setup. Once the club opens next year and betting ticket sales begin, the nationwide sale of betting tickets will be his responsibility. If there are any issues with stadium construction, you can also discuss it with him!" said Donnie to Robert.

Donnie hadn't forgotten that the reason he had started the Apollo Chain was ultimately due to the issue of betting ticket sales, which had prompted him to think of setting up the chain.

Stadium construction had been handed over to Robert, something he had become well-versed in, while betting ticket sales were something Donnie planned to entrust to Winston Marl.

However, because the business was too vast, Donnie wanted to keep Winston Marl by his side to observe him closely for a while. And now, with his business growing bigger, Steve Cotting was barely keeping up with his pace, so Donnie needed a suitable assistant by his side. Therefore, after interviewing both Barve and Winston Marl separately, Donnie decided to keep Winston Marl close.

A year's time was enough for Donnie to see clearly what kind of person Winston Marl was.

"Right!"

Next, Donnie inquired about the events that had taken place in Atlantic City during his absence and then let them get on with their work.

In the following period, Donnie once again immersed himself in the complexities of work. When April arrived, he made another trip to Boise City to attend the UFC finals.
