Chapter 858 Uncle Sam
While discussions were going on outside and Orange Technology Company was looking forward to selling the game as soon as possible, Yang Chen received a very special invitation letter that surprised him.
A letter of invitation from a small town called Bentonville in northern Arkansas, USA.
The inviter was someone he never expected.
Sam Walton
He had never heard of this name before, and he didn't know who this Uncle Sam was.
However, he did not dare to despise this invitation letter.
The reason lies mainly in the person who sent him the letter.
What he didn't expect was that the person who came to send him the invitation letter turned out to be the famous George H.W. Bush, the future President of the United States. This was really unexpected.
Especially since the other party was not a member of the government and could have Bush deliver the letter in person, to be honest, Yang Chen was really interested in this Uncle Sam.
After some investigation, Yang Chen finally figured out the specific identity of Uncle Sam who could work for Bush Sr. to deliver letters.
Walton
Walmart
At first, Yang Chen really didn't think about the two together. Until he found out the identity of Uncle Sam, Yang Chen didn't know what to do with the invitation letter in his hand.
Although Wal-Mart has not yet grown to the point where it will spread across the world in future generations, its influence in the United States cannot be underestimated.
Walmart has now fully developed the U.S. market, and the next step is to enter overseas markets.
Occupying the largest market in the world, coupled with its decades of accumulation and possession of a U.S. green card, Wal-Mart's speed of external development is definitely not comparable to that of Carrefour.
Uncle Sam who invited him was the founder of Wal-Mart.
Facing this Uncle Sam, Yang Chen still felt a little guilty. He had hired a lot of talents at Wal-Mart before, although most of them were Chinese, and most of them were in the middle and lower classes.
However, it is certain and inevitable that your behavior will make the other person unhappy, and no one will remain indifferent to this.
If he didn't care about these things before, but after Bush Sr. personally delivered the letter, Yang Chen knew that he might not be able to avoid this matter anymore.
Later, the Walton family held nearly half of Wal-Mart's shares and firmly controlled the global retail empire. Wal-Mart's success made the Walton family one of the richest families in American history.
Later Fortune magazine once commented on the Walton family, saying: "Please forget Gates and Buffett. In the United States, the real influence on the American economy and society is the Walton family."
From these words, it is not difficult to see the influence of the Walton family. Even the wealth of the world's richest man, Bill Gates and stock investor Buffett, their combined wealth cannot equal 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 gross product of some countries. It is no exaggeration to say that they are rich enough to rival other countries.
Although the Walton family has not surfaced yet and has not been unearthed by the American media, he can really feel the strength indirectly reflected by the other party's ability to allow the future President of the United States, Bush Sr., to personally deliver the letter.
Thinking that Wal-Mart will soon open up overseas markets, the two companies will meet sooner or later. Since a collision cannot be avoided, Yang Chen can only choose to accept the invitation and go to meet Uncle Sam in person.
"Boss, do you really don't need me to accompany you?" Lan Meiren made her last effort. She was a little confused as to why Yang Chen didn't take her with him this time.
"No need, I need your help later."
"Before coming to the United States, Yufei and the others each brought some gifts to Miss Lin. Originally, I planned to deliver them in person, but now I have something to do, so I won't go there..."
"I'll give you the gift later. You can take it over for me and explain it to Miss Lin."
"By the way, try not to attract the attention of the media. It's best for you to wait until I leave before you go out."
The main reason why he didn't take Blue Beauty with him this time was because he was a little unsure of what Uncle Sam's purpose was in looking for him.
Although he has great influence now, he has never forgotten how bloody the capital accumulation in the United States was in the early days.
In the face of interests, everyone must bear risks and crises.
Think about it, even the number one in the United States is ready to take a shot, let alone others.
The place he is going to this time is a small town, which is the hometown of the Wal-Mart family. If the other party really has evil intentions, or talks about having bad intentions, it is hard to say what will happen.
Although this possibility was slim, he still chose to be careful.
Therefore, on this trip, except for bodyguards such as Jun Zi and Frank, he planned to take no one with him to avoid accidents and unnecessary trouble.
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 area and a small population.
Alzhou was originally an Indian settlement. It was discovered by a French explorer in the 17th century. After discovering this Indian settlement, the explorer named the vast area including Alzhou Louisiana.
In the early 19th 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 got to know the Walton family seriously again.
The success of Wal-Mart in later generations is inseparable from the Walton family and Uncle Sam.
According to the information he obtained, Wal-Mart was originally just a mom-and-pop store. What does a mom-and-pop store mean? As the name suggests, it is a small store opened by a couple.
This is the same as the convenience store under the building of domestic residents in later generations. It is a non-chain type. It is a simple, ordinary store located in a small town, not the kind of convenience store in the city. To put it in popular terms,
, just a grocery store that has everything.
With such a grocery store, Wal-Mart gradually moved out of small towns and states, and finally spent decades traveling through 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 man who has come to today step by step.
You must know that the other party does not have the help of plug-ins. The other party's success is entirely based on their own accumulation, step by step.
This kind of person, regardless of his education level, status, or age, should never be looked down upon.
Because this kind of people are the most difficult to deal with, whether it is mental or behavioral, etc., they are much, much stronger than ordinary people.
Dealing with old foxes is what Yang Chen doesn't like to do the most. Unfortunately, he has no choice. People can't help themselves in the world. He now fully understands the meaning of this sentence.
