Chapter 794 "793" Walmart's Arrogance! Xu Zhengyang and Sugar Heart from "Double Dragon Meeting"!
Before you know it, it's 21 PM.

Walmart supermarket has officially closed.

Then we began the first day's inventory check.

Walmart's executives didn't leave work; instead, they waited in the conference room upstairs at Walmart for today's sales figures.

The lights are bright...

It took a full hour for the data to come out.

The operations manager in charge of statistics walked briskly into the conference room, carrying a thick stack of reports.

"How's the data?"

"President, distinguished leaders..."

The operations manager reported the data to the senior executives one by one.

As the executives listened, their brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

The data was far below their expectations; compared with Five Star Supermarket, it was only one-tenth to one-twentieth.

"How could it be so low?"

"We've invested so much in advertising and promotion, how come we only have this much customer traffic and this little revenue?"

Faced with the data, the executives were somewhat desperate.

It seems that Walmart's opening was a complete disaster.

After a long time,

President Bob Martin looked around: "Clearly, our first day of business was a failure."

"Failure is not terrible; the most important thing is to learn from our mistakes!"

"Everyone, please share your thoughts."

The executives remained silent until Bob Martin finally prompted someone to speak.

Operations Director: "It's obvious that the problem lies with Five Star Supermarket. Our design is very different from Five Star Supermarket's. The space layout is not large enough, resulting in a poor shopping experience for customers; there is no children's playground, which is not attractive to families with children; the service attitude also needs to be improved. Many customers have reported that the staff's service attitude is not as good as that of Five Star Group."

"Another point is that our product variety and price advantages are not yet apparent. The Five Star Supermarket next door does a much better job in these aspects. Their products are better and their prices are cheaper."

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions.
"If we want to catch up with their amusement park in the future, we will have to invest more resources."

"They also offer unconditional returns and exchanges, which doesn't align with our retail logic at all, and our US headquarters would never agree to that!"

"Another point is that their salary should be twice ours, which is something we simply cannot afford."

They're here to make money, not to do charity.

The above three points constitute doing charity.

What should they do?
This completely contradicts the original intention of making big money by running a supermarket!

……

……

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The situation at Walmart has not improved; in fact, it has gotten worse!

Upstairs in the Walmart Donghu store, in the president's office,

Bob Martin sat alone behind his large desk, the morning sunlight streaming in and illuminating his tired and anxious face, a result of a sleepless night.

He stared intently at the computer screen.

A report and suggestions on the opening day of the Shenzhen store were sent by the secretary.

He is reviewing it and preparing to send it to the US headquarters.

"Dear headquarters leaders, four days ago, the Shenzhen store celebrated its grand opening..."

"These opening figures, compared to the market potential of Shenzhen and the operating data of the United States, are undoubtedly a failure..."

"After in-depth analysis and on-site investigation, I believe the key reason for this failure lies in the significant differences between us and Five Star Supermarket..."

Five Star Supermarket is a large supermarket group on Hong Kong Island...

Its most notable feature is...

"Upon comparison, we can see that we have many shortcomings: 1, ... 2, ... 3, ...

"To reverse the current unfavorable situation, I suggest:..."

Until the afternoon,

He deliberated and revised it several times before finally clicking and sending the email.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

……

……

United States.

The Walmart headquarters building stands at 702 Southwest 8th Street in Bentonville, Arkansas.

This is the core hub of Walmart's global operations.

In a corner of the top floor, there is an office of more than 300 square meters.

Chairman Groberson Walton sat behind a spacious desk, on which the computer screen flickered.

He is the eldest son and the second-generation head of Walmart, and has been in charge of Walmart since 1992.

At that moment, Robertson Walton was looking at an email from the University of the East.

He was incredulous when he saw the disastrous data mentioned at the beginning of the email regarding the first four days after the Shenzhen store opened.

"They failed? We're the number one retailer in the world!"

When they were inspecting the Dongda Market, he and everyone else were full of confidence.

Continue reading.

Soon, his brows furrowed even more.

Was the failure due to a supermarket from Hong Kong Island?

This is impossible!

In his mind, Walmart has always been proud of its retail model, which has achieved great success in the United States and many other parts of the world.

I am the world's number one retailer.

How could they lose to a local supermarket from the University of Tokyo?
He carefully read about the features of Five Star Supermarket.

The space is spacious, there is a children's playground, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the wages are high...

Then I saw Bob Martin's suggestions: "Design taller and larger stores," "Add children's play areas," "Reassess the return and exchange policy," "Improve salaries and benefits"...

Robertson Walton's expression was unpredictable.

Is this some kind of "new Walmart"?
As everyone knows, the easiest way to embezzle is to create new projects.

Walmart has extensive experience in opening stores and excellent cost control.

If we were to build a new Walmart, the project would be quite unique and new, making cost control difficult. Wouldn't that mean the funds would be left to those people in the East China region to do whatever they want?
"We cannot agree!"

He firmly believes that Walmart in the United States is absolutely excellent and successful.

……

……

A new day,
The weather on Hong Kong Island is overcast, and it feels like another storm is coming.

Causeway Bay, downstairs from Kwan Cho's house.

Guan Zu stepped downstairs.

"Yo~~~"

Xu Zhengyang was careless and failed to dodge, and was knocked out by Guan Zu's sonic attack.

Xu Zhengyang's expression was like this: (see image below)
He secretly vowed to himself: fortunes change, but never underestimate a poor single person!

Xu Zhengyang, still angry, said, "Brother Zu, I need to ask for leave. I need to go see my girlfriend!"

Guan Zu: "Sure, go ahead!"

Xu Zhengyang left without looking back.

Guan Zu smiled, and just then, Gao Gang came down from upstairs, humming "Hello Poison." Guan Zu's face darkened, and he kicked him.

"I heard you've been to a foot massage parlor 10 times this month. Starting today, I'll have Big Head tell all the girls in Hong Kong to stop providing you with services. You have one month to go find a girlfriend..."

Gao Gang clutched his thigh, looking miserable, and repeatedly begged for mercy: "I'll go right away..."

run away.

……

Xu Zhengyang called Gao Jin: "Brother Jin, can you ask Sister Zi to introduce me to a girlfriend? You can't just introduce one to Brother Hu and not one to me, can you?"

Originally, as a member of the Coast Guard, he was aloof and only focused on protecting his brother.

But...

Every day, Guan Zu would say "Yo~~~" to him, and Ding Hu would walk by handsomely eating his loving breakfast... He was somewhat affected by this.

Moreover, as a traditional man, starting a family and establishing a career are also essential, so he began to take the initiative.

Gao Jin's cold voice came: "Then come here. Ah Zi and I have brought a pretty girl with us."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhengyang exclaimed, "Really?"

Gao Jin said, "When have I ever lied? Come to the entrance of Ocean Park."

Xu Zhengyang: "I'm coming over now!"

20 minutes later,
At the entrance of Ocean Park, Xu Zhengyang parked his car, handed the keys to the valet, and then spotted the handsome Gao Jin and Wei Yingzi in the crowd.

"Brother Jin, Sister-in-law Zi!"

Then Xu Zhengyang looked around, puzzled, "Where's the pretty girl? Where is she? I don't see her."

Gao Jin pulled his two-year-old daughter out from behind him and brought her to him. "Hey, here's the pretty girl."

"what?"

"Tell me, isn't she beautiful?"

"Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!"

"Here you go, she wants to see the pandas, you take her to see them..." Gao Jin stuffed his daughter into Xu Zhengyang's arms.

Xu Zhengyang was dumbfounded: "What about you guys?"

Gao Jin pulled Wei Yingzi along, saying, "Of course we're going to ride the roller coaster! It's inconvenient to bring her along!"

Then they held hands and went into Ocean Park.

Xu Zhengyang: "…………"

Good guy!
Can anyone tell me what kind of plan this is?

He looked at Gao Chu'er in his arms, who was two years old, chubby, and staring at him with her big, long-lashed eyes.

"Uncle~~~"

Xu Zhengyang could only manage a bitter smile.

"Let's go see the pandas!"

On Gao Jin and Wei Yingzi's side,

Wei Yingzi asked, "Isn't that too bad?"

Gao Jin said coolly, "Now that we've freed our hands, we can go ride the roller coaster. Tell me, isn't that awesome?"

Wei Yingzi paused for a moment: "…………"

As long as it's enjoyable!

Xu Zhengyang took Gao Jin's daughter to see the giant pandas.

Although three months had passed, there were still a lot of people coming to see the giant pandas. Xu Zhengyang held Gao Chu'er and waited in line for 10 minutes before finally seeing the giant pandas.

Jiajia is climbing a tree, and An'an is eating bamboo. Their every move is full of cuteness and endearment, making the audience's hearts melt.

Gao Chu'er liked it very much: "Uncle Xu, I want to buy a pet like this in the future."

Xu Zhengyang: "…………"

Honey, you can't keep pandas as pets.

Just as the two finished seeing the pandas and left the panda enclosure, a commotion suddenly broke out in front of them.

"Oh no, someone fainted."

Then a group of people started to watch.

"Did you have a heart attack? Your face is all pale!"

"It looks like he's having a hard time breathing!"

Xu Zhengyang saw a middle-aged woman lying on the ground, her chest heaving like a bellows, and her lips turning a faint bluish-purple.

Just as Xu Zhengyang was about to step forward to help, a woman in a skirt squeezed in.

"Please make way! I'm a nurse!"

(Image: Tang Xin, from "Twin Dragons")
Tang Xin quickly squatted down.

"He looks like he's having an asthma attack..."

"Everyone, step back and let the air circulate!"

The tourists quickly retreated.

Then gently pat the middle-aged woman's shoulder.

"Hey, can you hear me? Are you having trouble breathing?"

The middle-aged woman nodded with difficulty, her finger trembling as she pointed to her sweatpants pocket.

Tang Xin immediately reached into her pocket and pulled out a silver asthma inhaler:

"Don't resist, I'll give you the spray..."

"Follow my instructions!"

Tang Xin helped the middle-aged woman slowly sit up, tilting her head back slightly. She supported her chin with one hand and aimed the spray at her mouth and nose with the other.

"Take a deep breath~~"

Pfft, pfft pfft~~~~
"Two more times..."

"Don't rush, breathe slowly, and relax your shoulders."

Tang Xin listened to her breathing and her brows gradually relaxed. "Much better, your airway should be clearer now."

After a minute or so, the middle-aged woman finally began to recover and looked at Tang Xin with gratitude.

"Thank you~~"

"You're welcome. Saving lives is my duty," Tang Xin said.

The crowd spontaneously applauded.

Wow, beautiful girl, you're amazing!

"Hey beautiful, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Hey beautiful, which hospital are you from?"

Tang Xin saved the person, said goodbye to the patient, and then prepared to leave with her father, Tang Tao.

When leaving,
As luck would have it, Tang Xin accidentally bumped into Xu Zhengyang.

Xu Zhengyang: "???"

Tang Xin: "???"

Tang Tao's eyes lit up when he saw Xu Zhengyang.

Isn't this Guan Yu's bodyguard?
Tang Tao glanced at his daughter and couldn't help but have a thought.

My daughter is beautiful, but none of her boyfriends are reliable. They're either boxers or ruthless fighters, no different from thugs.

Since his daughter liked men who fought and killed, wouldn't this bodyguard of Guan Zu be perfect for his daughter's special taste?
"Mr. Xu, right? My name is Tang Tao, and I'm the owner of Tang's Mold Factory."

"Hello……"

Tang Tao enthusiastically introduced Xu Zhengyang to Tang Xin.

"This is my daughter, Tang Xin. She's currently single... I wonder if Mr. Xu has a girlfriend?"

"Huh? No..."

"That's great, my daughter doesn't have one either!"

……

Ten minutes later, the two separated.

Tang Xin looked at her father, Tang Tao, puzzled: "Dad, didn't you say you were going to set me up with Ma You?"

Just yesterday,

Tang Tao told Tang Xin that Ma You would be performing in Hong Kong soon.

Who is Ma You?

He was Tang Xin's childhood sweetheart, but the Ma family later immigrated to Canada and they lost contact.

The Ma family was much richer than Tang Tao, so Tang Tao got the idea to match his daughter with Ma You.

This time, she met Xu Zhengyang, who was also single.

Tang Tao: "I've changed my mind."

Tang Xin: "Why?"

Tang's father, a man of integrity and unwavering righteousness, said: "I think that if we were to match you with Ma You, that would be feudal dregs, an arranged marriage, a betrothal made in childhood... But if you and Xu Zhengyang are in a free love relationship! It's true love!"

Tang Xin: "…………"

……

the other side,
Xu Zhengyang carried Gao Chu'er to play other games.

Xu Zhengyang could tell at a glance that Tang Xin was not suitable for him; their personalities were completely different.

After walking around,
Two-year-old Gao Chu'er was a little tired and fell asleep on Xu Zhengyang's lap.

Xu Zhengyang called Gao Jin, but Gao Jin said, "Take her home, we want to keep playing."

Xu Zhengyang: "???"

Aaaaaah~~~ I'm going to fight you two scumbags!
They tricked me into coming out to take care of the baby!

Xu Zhengyang left the Ocean Park.
Suddenly, a scene by the bridge outside the gate caught his attention.

An old woman was squatting by the roadside begging, with a sign written in front of her:

"Blind and lame, old and destitute..."

A young, beautiful woman with a gentle demeanor knelt down upon seeing the old woman.

"Mrs. Wu, you've lied to me again..."

“Ah, Miss Cheng…” Mrs. Wu felt a little guilty.

(Image from Maggie Cheung as Ching Siu-nam in "Boys Are Easy")
Cheng Xiaonan advised, "Mrs. Wu, you are perfectly healthy, yet you always pretend to be disabled and beg for food. That's not right."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Wu quickly said pitifully, "Miss Cheng, I am still receiving disability benefits, please don't expose me."

Cheng Xiaonan: "Then why do you beg every day?"

Xu Zhengyang held the little girl and looked at Cheng Xiaonan. For some reason, he felt that their magnetic fields clicked.
