肯德基东家想开更多店

It is lunchtime in Louisville, Kentucky and David Novak, chief executive of Yum Brands, strolls up to the KFC in his company’s cafeteria, orders a grilled chicken sandwich and joins a couple of employees for a bite to eat.

这里是美国肯塔基州的路易斯维尔(Louisville)，午饭时分，百胜(Yum Brands)首席执行官大卫·诺瓦克(David Novak)溜达到公司餐厅的肯德基(KFC)，要了一份烤鸡腿三明治，与几名员工一起吃起来。

Mr Novak has a lot on his plate these days. Yum, which operates KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, is continuing its push to be the dominant foreign restaurant chain in China while trying to revive a struggling business in the US. In spite of its international aspirations, Yum maintains a rich sense of its history.

诺瓦克最近有很多事情要做。经营着肯德基、必胜客(Pizza Hut)和塔可钟(Taco Bell)的百胜，正继续努力成为中国主要的外国餐厅连锁店，同时试图让步履维艰的美国业务复苏。尽管有着国际抱负，但百胜仍对自身历史保持着深刻认识。

Unlike many corporate campuses, which sequester themselves in suburban fortresses, Yum is housed in a sprawling colonial-style complex that resembles – and is referred to as – the “White House. Inside the main entrance sits a museum, where a talking mechanical replica of Colonel Sanders, the founder of KFC whose face is immortalised in its logo, introduces guests to the company.
