Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

But it is certain and inevitable that one's own behavior makes the other party unhappy, and it will not be indifferent to anyone.

If he didn't care about these things before, but after the elder Bush personally delivered the letter, Yang Chen knew that he might not be able to continue to avoid this matter.

The later generations of the Walton family hold nearly half of the shares in Wal-Mart and firmly control this retail empire that has traversed the world. The success of Wal-Mart has made the Walton family one of the wealthiest families in American history.

Later Fortune magazine once commented on the Walton family, saying: "Please forget Gates and Buffett. In the United States, it is the Walton family that really has influence on the American economy and society."

From these words, it is not difficult to see that the influence of the Walton family, even if its wealth is the world's richest man Bill Gates and the stock god Buffett, the combined wealth of the two of them cannot match the wealth of the Walton family.

According to the size of Wal-Mart in later generations, the wealth of the Walton family is higher than the GDP of some countries.

Although the Walton family has not yet surfaced and has not been dug out by the American media, he can really feel the strength indirectly reflected by the fact that the other party can let the future president of the United States, Bush Sr., personally deliver the letter.

Thinking that Wal-Mart is about to open up overseas markets in the future, the two will meet sooner or later. Since the collision cannot be avoided, Yang Chen can only choose to agree to the invitation and go to meet that Uncle Sam in person.

"Boss, don't you really need me to go with you?" Lan Meiren was making the last effort, she didn't understand why Yang Chen didn't take her out this time.

"No need, I need your help later."

"Before coming to the United States, Yufei and the others each brought a little gift to Miss Lin. I originally planned to send it there myself, but now I have something to do, so I won't go there..."

"I'll give you the gift in a while, and you take it there for me, and explain it to Miss Lin by the way."

"By the way, try not to attract the attention of the media. It's best to wait until I leave before you go out."

The reason why he didn't take Lan Mei with him this time was mainly because he was a little uncertain about the purpose of that Uncle Sam looking for him.

Although he has great influence now, he has never forgotten how bloody the capital accumulation in the early days of the United States was.

In the face of interests, everyone has to bear risks and crises.

Think about it, even the number one in the United States is always shot, let alone other people.

The place he was going this time was a small town, which was the home of the Wal-Mart family. If the other party really had malicious intentions, or said that they shouldn't have any bad intentions, it would be hard to say what would happen.

Although this possibility is slim, he still chooses to be careful.

Therefore, this trip, except for bodyguards such as Junzi and Frank, he planned to take none of them with him to avoid accidents and unnecessary troubles.

Arkansas, also known as Arkansas, is a state in the southern United States. It is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Mississippi River. It is a small state with a small population.

Albany was originally a settlement of Indians. It was discovered by a French explorer in the [-]th century. At that time, after the explorer discovered this Indian settlement, he named the vast area including Albania as Louisiana.

At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the United States purchased the Louisiana Territory and divided it into fifteen states, including the small state of Arkansas.

On the way to Azhou, Yang Chen had a serious understanding of the Walton family again.

Later generations of Wal-Mart can achieve such a great achievement, which is inseparable from the Walton family and that Uncle Sam.

According to the information he obtained, Wal-Mart was originally a husband and wife store. What does a husband and wife store mean? As the name suggests, it is a small store opened by a husband and wife.

This is the same as the convenience store downstairs of domestic residents in later generations. The non-chain one is a simple, ordinary store located in a small town, not the convenience store in the city. In layman's terms , is a grocery store that has everything.

With such a grocery store, Wal-Mart stepped out of small towns and out of Albany, and finally spent decades in various large, medium and small cities and rural towns throughout the United States.

It has to be said that even Yang Chen has to admire this kind of self-made, step by step to today.

You must know that the other party does not have the help of plug-ins, and the other party's success is entirely based on their own accumulation bit by bit, step by step.

This kind of person, no matter how educated he is, what his status is, or how old he is, should never be underestimated.

Because this kind of people are the most difficult to deal with, whether it is mentality or conduct, etc., they are much, much stronger than ordinary people.

Dealing with the old fox is something Yang Chen doesn't like to do the most. Unfortunately, he can't help it. He can't help himself in the rivers and lakes. Now he can be regarded as fully understanding the meaning of this sentence.

Chapter 839

It is still a little distance from New York to Azhou, and it takes about four hours by plane to reach Little Rock, the capital of Azhou.

Little Rock, a very common name, is located in central Arkansas, the United States, and is the state capital and largest city, as well as the seat of Pulaski County.

Albania has a small population, and the total number of people in the entire state is less than 200 million.

However, this is an important grain-producing area in the United States.

The land in Albany is fertile, so agriculture is very developed, and Little Rock is an industrial center in the central United States. It is the transportation center of the central United States, and the construction and management of transportation facilities are relatively complete.

After getting off the plane and getting into the vehicle prepared by the security company, Yang Chen asked Frank beside him, "Frank, how far is it from the small town of Bentonville?"

Frank: "The small town of Bentonville is more than 300 kilometers away from Little Rock. If there is no accident along the way, about three hours will be enough."

Sam Walton was originally born in a small town in Oklahoma. After World War II, the retired Uncle Sam's family moved to the small town of Bentonville, Arkansas.

In European and American countries, as long as we pay a little attention, we will find that many big brand companies in Europe and America, especially those with huge influence, often have their headquarters in some inconspicuous small towns.

This is a very common phenomenon. The bigger the company, especially the manufacturing industry, the less willing European and American capitalists are to place their headquarters in a metropolis.

In addition to the relatively high costs in the metropolis, the other is administrative pressure.

The economies of big cities are relatively comprehensive, and all walks of life are gathered together. To a large extent, they will not be affected by a single economy, especially those big cities with more financial companies. Their administrative power will not be affected by the fact that manufacturers The problem of how many people eat is solved, and it will be inclined to the owners.

In European and American countries, many manufacturing industries even need state subsidies. Therefore, in developed capitalist countries, the voices of manufacturers are actually not loud.

The ones who really speak loudly are those financiers with huge capital and trade union leaders with votes.

As for manufacturing owners, the government not only ignores them in many cases, but the trade union forces also like to make troubles from time to time. Various factors make those large companies generally unwilling to locate their headquarters in big cities.

Leaving the big city and being located in an inconspicuous small town, not only will it not be resisted by the trade union forces, but it will also receive strong support from the local government.

In the political systems of European and American countries, local governments still have great dominance. In many European and American countries, each state has different laws and regulations, and different taxes.

Local governments have great power. For well-known brands such as Wal-Mart and companies with huge influence, local governments will give convenience to owners to a large extent in order to attract them and increase local employment and tax revenue.

In this way, there is no need to talk about the relationship between local governments and these enterprises.

All the way to the small town of Bentonville, Yang Chen was thinking about what that Uncle Sam looked like, and what would happen when the two met.

Although he got a lot of news about Wal-Mart in the United States through channels, he didn't have much introduction to the founder of Wal-Mart, Uncle Sam and the Walton family.

At this stage, the Walton family is still very low-key.

The attention of the media public is not focused on a family that only sells department store products.

After spending almost three hours, Yang Chen and his party finally arrived at the small town of Bentonville.

From Yang Chen's side, a group of more than a dozen cars flooded into the town, which made the previously peaceful town suddenly pulsate.

There were no flowers as imagined, and there was no welcome ceremony in line. After Yang Chen and his party entered the town, they stopped in front of a store with the Wal-Mart logo.
