Through these words, Yang Chen also explained the matter of poaching himself, avoiding the important and trivial.

He held Wal-Mart up high with his hand, and he used it at the right time. Even if Uncle Sam felt helpless, he could only choose to settle the matter.

After all, job-hopping happens in any company. People go to higher places and water flows to lower places.

Wal-Mart cannot give the Chinese what they want, and it is normal for them to change jobs.

The only bad thing is that the loss of a large number of Chinese middle managers will have a great impact on Wal-Mart's future expansion into overseas markets, especially the Asian market.

Uncle Sam: "Yang, I received news that your investment company secretly acquired a lot of Wal-Mart stocks. Is there such a thing?"

The highlight is here. One of the main purposes of Uncle Sam calling Yang Chen to his home this time is that he discovered abnormal fluctuations in Wal-Mart's stock earlier.

Being vigilant by nature, he has always been very sensitive to his company's stock price. When he discovered something was wrong, he immediately sent someone to investigate.

Finally, after further investigation, I found that the man behind the acquisition of Wal-Mart's stock was a young rich man from the East, and this young rich man was very famous overseas, especially in Europe and the United States.

Uncle Sam had a lot of information about Yang Chen. The more he read about Yang Chen's experience, the more interesting he became. On a whim, he asked his old friend George H.W. Bush to send him an invitation letter.

"Uh" Yang Chen was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately said: "Uncle Sam, I am personally very optimistic about the future development of Wal-Mart. As a qualified investor, I think I should not turn a blind eye to companies like Wal-Mart."

In Yang Chen's opinion, his behavior was a normal investment, and there was nothing shameful about it. It was just that he invested in too many companies and invested a lot of money.

Therefore, he is afraid that once this kind of thing is reported by the media, the same stock will end up being several times more expensive for no reason.

The so-called celebrity effect.

Warren Buffett, the future stock god, wants to invest in that company. Once he starts taking action, market investors will inevitably flock to it.

This will indirectly increase investment costs.

Therefore, he will let his investment companies secretly acquire the stocks of companies he is optimistic about in the market to avoid attracting too many people's attention and raising the stock price too high.

Yang Chen didn't blush or breath, and didn't feel embarrassed at all.

This kind of thing cannot be hidden from everyone, this is expected.

Some small and medium-sized companies may be aware of it, but due to insufficient levels and insufficient connections, even if they are discovered, it is difficult to find out the specific information.

But at the level of Uncle Sam, it is very easy for them to inquire about something. Not only the business community, but also government departments can take advantage of them.

Therefore, Yang Chen was not too surprised that Uncle Sam was able to detect that someone was secretly acquiring shares of Wal-Mart, and was able to follow the clues all the way to find him.

If Uncle Sam did not have this ability, he would not have been able to develop Wal-Mart into a retail giant and a leading company in the world.

Uncle Sam did not continue to talk nonsense and went straight to the point: "Yang, I am also very optimistic about the development of your Carrefour supermarket. Next, Wal-Mart is preparing to enter overseas markets. As the most populous region in the world, Asia is now

With the country's economic growth rate, the Asian market will inevitably become more prosperous in the future.

The retail industry is a very large market, and it cannot be monopolized by one or two companies. I think you should hold a lot of shares in Wal-Mart now. Do you think there are opportunities for further cooperation between the two of us?"

Yang Chen frowned and said: "Mr. Sam, you should know that the Carrefour supermarket I own is not a listed company."

Uncle Sam waved his hand and said: "Whether Carrefour is a listed company or not does not affect the cooperative relationship between our two companies."

Seeing that Uncle Sam was not joking, Yang Chen immediately became serious and asked: "Then what aspect does Mr. Sam plan to let our two families cooperate in?"

Uncle Sam did not hesitate and said bluntly: "I hope our two families can cooperate in all aspects."

"All-round cooperation?" Yang Chen was really stunned now. He didn't expect that the other party would actually propose all-round cooperation.

Since ancient times, the Chinese have a saying that says, "Enemies are enemies when we are in the same industry." Under normal circumstances, when you meet your peers, it is normal for everyone to compete with each other and undermine each other.

Even if they are more harmonious and don't compete maliciously, they are still the kind of people who will never interact with each other until death.

Cooperation is based on a win-win situation. Only when there is a trend of interest can both parties work together.

But Carrefour and Wal-Mart, do they have the basis for cooperation?

The market determines that they only have a competitive relationship. Although cooperation cannot be said to be 100% impossible, there will never be so-called all-round cooperation.

Not sure what Uncle Sam wanted to do, Yang Chen didn't speak and quietly waited for the next step.

"I think you will not be willing to stick to just one market in Asia. If Carrefour wants to develop, it must enter the European and American markets in the future. The retail market is huge, and this cannot be monopolized by one or two companies..."

"We don't necessarily have to become competitors. I think it is more beneficial to join forces than to compete with each other."

"After all, you can't make enough money."

After listening to Uncle Sam's analysis, Yang Chen was a little moved. Carrefour's development model is completely copied from Wal-Mart. The two companies can be said to be exactly the same in terms of structure.

However, not everything between the two companies is the same. For example, the things sold by the two companies are very different. The things sold by the two companies have different origins, different prices, different varieties, etc.

Ordinary people in Europe and the United States have no objection to cheap Asian products. This has been proven by the flow of high-quality and low-priced Chinese products to the world in later generations.

Similarly, in Asian countries that are gradually getting richer, after their people get rich, they gradually begin to pursue high-priced European and American products, especially those brand-name products in Europe and the United States, which many people cannot resist the temptation.

Through this, Yang Chen thought of the two giant instant noodle companies, Uni-President and Master Kong. The two companies have been in love and fighting each other for many years, and finally evolved into a situation where you are part of me, and you are part of me, both of them are indispensable.

Every time a foreign force enters the instant noodle industry, the two companies do not resist the third party. They just start doing it themselves. Once the two giants start doing it, the third party basically has nothing to do with it.
