Welcome back, moguls. As you all know, franchising is a stream of income that we consider essential. My family trust owns over 150 franchises and my business budget is at $235M via crowdfunding and reinvested dividends & assets under management is at $390M. In the business realm, that's not a lot which puts my insurance coverage around $110M which is on the mid-end in business. Texas has been somewhere I've been avid in relocating my businesses out of. I no longer want to do business with Texas due to the far-right ideology, unreliable police force and the lack of hospitality. Taking away controllable expenses, non-controllable expenses, food and paper costs will leave my 1st store's gross profit at $16.7M annually and 2nd store's gross profit at $10.2M annually. With things such as the EBITDA, you can earn 4-5 times the value. We're selling the 2 to private equity companies from Boston to secure the franchises. The 2 offers are for $83.5M for complete store ownership but I retain all stakes & shares of Store 1, the land ownership and responsibility for any venues & events of the location. We'll accept & the 2nd offer is 50% ownership, 25% equity stake & 25% land ownership for $40.8 which will also be accepted. The economy is changing. As of August 2023, the 5 industries to invest will be in is Defense, Energy, Biotechnology, Real Estate & Gold & 10 S&P 500 assets to invest in is CRM, WMT, PFE, CVX, ADBE, PG, BWB, DTE, TSLA & NVO. Don't get me wrong, I do own a duplex right outside of Downtown Dallas that's used for a property value profit, acreage & vacation residence. I am not leaving the McDonald's business in whole though, $5M will go to McDonald's Stock & will be up for a position in the company's board as fast good has hit a high post-pandemic & in the world of convenience and laziness and Chris Kempczinksi, who's the CEO of McDonald's and a frequent LinkedIn connection has done a tremendous job as CEO of McDonald's since 2019 as well as progressing ways to pay as well as mastering sales by perfecting a limited menu and staying politically relevant from hosting venues, building community resources for the disenfranchised inner, youth programs, internships and 365 Black: Black & Positivity Golden which aid to the advancement of Black excellence, supports education, empowerment and entrepreneurship, and shares cherished moments. This franchises the black community with cash flow being poured in & generally great for business considering black people also pour into the fast food industry greatly spending over $7B annually and McDonald's being 53% of that, that's $3.7B annually so that's great economic investment by the McDonald's Corporation based in Chicago, a Midwestern Metropolis.
Ball just dropped & rent is due and you're somewhere blowing it on Hennessy Lemon Pepper Wings with D'Usse Truffle Fries. Ball dropped before your balls dropped so now it's 2026. Happy New Year! 25 years since 9/11. 10 years since LeBron came back 3-1. 10 years without Ali, Prince, David Bowie etc. America's Bisesquicentennial. 20 years of Twitter. 18 years since the victory of Barack Obama and regardless, it's been a joke for you. Most of you will enter 2026, the same way you entered 2025, a disgrace, a joke, a minstrel, a coughing baby compared to Tsar Bomba. If being a ham & egger was a dynasty, you'd have Tom Brady rings, Joe Montana win percentage and Steve Yzerman consistency & longevity. If Fs got you into Harvard, you'd be a Summa Cum Laude on autopilot. If it was a Least Valuable Player, it'd be named after you the same way Bill Russell is to the Finals MVP. Here's the central point, you suck and you been taking Ls si...
