Chicago, once the tallest building in the world and now the tallest building in North America, once the world's largest private retail enterprise, Sears Robber's headquarters building, on the 103rd floor of Sears Building.

The whole person was like a tide in the air, standing in the observation deck made of all glass. Even though he had overcome the fear of altitude, Feng Yiping still felt a little dizzy now.

Huang Jingping, who was holding his hand, was also a little nervous, and focused all her attention on the beautiful scenery in the distance, only occasionally looking at the glass floor under her feet.

The glass under your feet is more than 400 meters above the ground. As long as you are not those with very strong nerves, anyone who walks on it will feel a little uneasy.

Mike and Hong Haoran stood in the middle of the hall, as if they were seriously discussing something very important, and ignored Feng Yiping and the others' invitation.

The best thing I feel is Jin Ling, who has been strolling around, "In such weather, you should be able to see the four surrounding states,"

Since you are so relaxed, don’t hold your hands in your chest. Doing this action means you are actually a little nervous?

Mr. Flynn, who was sent by Sears, kept the standard smile of the mall waiter, and stood by the side in the standard standing posture of the mall waiter.

Feng Yiping finally showed off his fearless courage and walked back with Huang Jingping, "Please wait for a long time."

"It's my duty," Flynn said with a smile. "I just received the notice that Vice President Thomas has returned to the company and is waiting for several people,"

"Sorry, then we'll go on here,"

It seems that when you reach a certain level, it is really difficult to separate work and life.

Of course, Feng Yiping and his friends visited this time, not just for sightseeing, they mainly visited and studied in the Sears.

The retail industry is not a place to get along. Kmart, which once firmly ranked first in the retail industry in the United States for more than ten years, has now come to the verge of bankruptcy, which is also a good warning for them.

And it is also a century-old store. Although it is not as good as the younger generation Walmart that came from behind, Sears is still quite strong now. Since we are here in Chicago, we have to absorb some nutrients from them.

Vice President Thomas is a short middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle. At first glance, he looks like the kind of person who is very organized and calm, and does not change color even when he collapses in front of the mountain. He has a very demeanor of not being afraid of honor and disgrace, and is idle to watch the flowers falling and blooming in the courtyard.

This is very consistent with the temperament of their century-old store.

Only a newborn calf like Youjia will struggle to plow the ground and occasionally face the horns against others.

"Sit a few, please," Mr. Thomas politely with some alienation.

From a general perspective, as a company vice president with annual sales of more than 40 billion US dollars and ranked 59th in Fortune Global 500 companies last year, it is already considered a face-saving opportunity to see Feng Yiping and his group.

As for his attitude at this time, Feng Yiping could understand that if he did not consider the profit rate, the two companies now are like giants and babies, which are completely different from the same level.

But hehe. Don’t bully the young man poor! Walmart, which Sears didn’t take seriously at all at the time, has now left him dozens of streets.

Walmart has not had a good time in the mobile Internet era, and the path that my buddy is sticking to now represents advanced productivity and production direction. It is certain that a counterattack in the future.

"We have read Mr. Feng's masterpiece carefully and are very inspired,"

"That's my honor," said Feng Yiping.

"Yesterday's speech was also very good," Thomas said, pointing to the local Chicago newspaper on the conference table, "It's a pity that I was not there yesterday."

Yes, large companies like Sears that open stores also need to use maps to analyze location selection, so they are also Navteq customers.

"Thank you, actually I admire your company even more. It has been established for hundreds of years but still maintains this rapid growth enterprise,"

Whether at home or abroad, when it comes to greetings, it seems that they are flattering each other.

Thomas's face was also very glorious when he was able to receive praise from the author of the best-selling business book. "The most important thing is to adapt to the form and adjust the company's business strategy in a timely and decisive manner. In this regard, I have to say that your proposal of the Blue Ocean Strategy has opened a door for us."

Although he was a little proud of his identity, he did a good job of things that had been agreed upon in advance. He used standard slides to introduce the development history of Sears Company and briefly introduced what measures they took to stand for a hundred years.

Jin Ling listened and looked at Feng Yiping, "Why are your thoughts and practices exactly the same as theirs?"

Isn't that true? For example, Sears' three management standards are: First, through bulk, cash payments to ensure low buying and low selling, but quality must be guaranteed.

Paying cash guarantees a lower price, Youjia did this from the beginning.

Second, reduce sales costs by minimizing the freight of goods, but ensure quality and quantity.

With Feng Yiping's insistence, Youjia actually went further. Not only did it establish an independent logistics company to reduce transportation costs, but it also reduced sales costs through system and refined inventory management.

Third, increase total profits by small profits but fast turnover, but ensure quality.

The festival promotion advocated by Feng Yiping is for this purpose.

In addition, selling large quantities of homemade products is the direction that Youjia is working hard on.

However, in addition to building its own factory, Sears also has many cooperative designated manufacturers, entrusting them to produce some designated products, while Sears is only responsible for sending personnel to the production line to be responsible for supervision and subsequent acceptance.

This point can be considered after the town’s industrial park is built.

It is not good to run all factories by themselves, and it is only possible to drive everyone to develop quickly.

Regarding store construction, Feng Yiping's approach is similar to Sears. He also builds his own business if he can, and also has his own design and decoration company.

So, Thomas's introduction was very laborious, but in fact, there was nothing new to them.

However, it was not useless. After hearing this, they also strengthened their determination to continue to implement it according to Feng Yiping's wishes in the future.

"So the strategy we have adopted is the same as these international giants?" Jin Ling said goodbye to Sears.

"Some aspects are even better than them," said Hong Haoran.

"That's because their company is too large, and it's not as easy as our command and adjustment," Feng Yiping of course wanted to be humble.

After completing the established itinerary, Feng Yiping stayed for another day and came to this financial center. Naturally, he had to save some ammunition for the future. There was only one thing like 911 in the United States, so it was really hard to miss it.

…………

The signing of the contract with decarta was very low-key. No outsider invited me, and all the original team were retained, but there was an additional office in the company.

However, Feng Yiping estimated that after sorting out some development trends in future electronic map technology, he should not have much time to stay in this office after using these as the next direction of decarta's research and development.

Whether it is Harvard or Stanford, life will definitely not be easy when studying in their business school.

"What do you have to do with the president here?" Jin Ling asked.

"Our shortcomings here are mainly lacking in government relations. According to the rules of the game here, through the public relations companies and their own connections, the giants are seeking to exert reasonable and legal influence on governments at all levels.

The US government will not provide foreign capital with super-national treatment like our country, and the requirements for companies with Chinese background like us will only be stricter. Therefore, in addition to other requirements, this vice president should have experience working in Washington, and it is best to have a good relationship in both the political and business circles."

Feng Yiping himself can grasp the problems of the company's development strategy. What he needs is still like Jin Ling, who can integrate various influences and perfectly execute the matters Feng Yiping explained.

"It is definitely not easy for such a person to find an ideal person," said Jin Ling.

Of course it is not easy.

After the US president retired, he was also very active. For example, former President Mr. Clinton was making money by giving speeches everywhere this year - the zipper door incident, which cost him huge lawyer fees.

Other senior officials who retired, such as the Secretary of State, usually go to consult companies, and ministers can also turn around and become presidents in a gorgeous way.

However, with Jiasheng's current conditions, it is difficult to hire such a big shot. Although it is possible to spend a lot of money, it is very unnecessary.

"At present, all the arrangements have been arranged, and it is not too urgent. Let's entrust them to major headhunting companies," said Feng Yiping.

"That's all,"

…………

On the way home, Jin Ling, who was still rushing to drive, suddenly said in a daze, "Do you know? Technology is developing so fast now. What you said can't do may be realized in the future."

Feng Yiping was confused. What is he talking about?

Huang Jingping guessed what Jin Ling was saying, "Is it true that sister Jin, can men have children?"

"It should be OK in the future, but I need to have a gender-changing surgery,"

Feng Yiping,….(To be continued.)
