The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 345, Spoils Sharing Conference (please vote for me)
December 1968, another Christmas.

In Europe, the British Isles, in the city center of London, a supermarket called Costco successfully opened on Christmas Eve.

Landing on the beach!

As one of the leading retail companies in North America, Costco Supermarket successfully opened in London before other companies such as Qianduoduo Supermarket.

As a membership-only supermarket, the whole of Great Britain already knew about such an awesome supermarket before it landed in London.

The annual membership fee of US$199 is enough to scare away many people.

Don’t treat U.S. dollars as money. At least the annual fee of 199 U.S. dollars is really very expensive.

"Gerald, look at this report you wrote. Is it bullshit? There are so many typos and the wording is so inaccurate. You have to know that these have to be taken to the court and shown to the judge. "Yeah"

In a London police station office, Gerald, a psychological police officer who specializes in related paperwork, was scolded by his immediate boss, Buckley.

"In court, the requirements for all documents are very strict, and the wording must be very accurate and concise to ensure that the sentences are smooth and comply with the expression standards."

"Take it back and revise it again. Sophia, as a girl, you must be more careful. Please help him."

Gerald responded obediently, and Sofia, who was lying with her gun beside her, showed a helpless expression, but her boss had already spoken, so she could only nod in response.

After confirming this matter, Buckley left first.

But Gerald was thinking hard because he was still very serious about his report, but was criticized by his boss for being useless.

Difficult!

Gerald has to rely on himself in this matter, and Sophia can't help much.

After getting off work, Gerald drove away from the police station. When passing through an intersection, he happened to see a long queue not far ahead.

Feeling depressed, he turned the steering wheel and followed the convoy into the parking lot of Costco Supermarket.

Gerald wanted to join in the fun and relax.

As a result, he got off the car and followed the team to the entrance of the supermarket. Only then did he realize that the supermarket was newly opened and was holding activities.

Costco's first London opening comes with huge discounts that are available to everyone.

However, there is no discount for the annual membership fee of US$199.

Even though there was no discount, when everyone arrived at the supermarket and saw the discounts on the products, they all paid for the annual membership fee without hesitation.

Once the annual membership fee is paid, there is no refund.

Unless after shopping around, you find that there is really no suitable product and you don’t like it, then you can apply for a refund.

However, as long as the product is purchased, it is impossible to refund it.

Gerald, who was being held hostage, was a little confused at this time.

After all, the annual membership fee of 199 US dollars is quite a lot. Why spend such a large amount of money just to buy things in this supermarket?

It always feels like it’s not worth it.

However, after thinking for a while, I took a look at the product lists on the discount advertisements, made a simple calculation, and paid for the annual membership fee.

After paying the annual membership fee, Gerald quickly got his own membership card. Not only could he use it, but his family members could also use this membership card.

However, if the family member information that is only included in the membership card information is not filled in, their family members will not be able to enjoy this convenience.

Obviously, this is a bundling strategy.

Although it can be mandated that a membership card can only be bound to the member card itself, and non-members themselves cannot enjoy membership benefits. This will definitely increase Costco Supermarket’s annual membership fee income.

But if this is the case, I am afraid that more members will resist Costco Supermarket from their hearts.

Therefore, the current policy of one membership card that can be used by the whole family is more in line with the psychological expectations of consumers.

Holding the membership card, Gerald glanced curiously at the computer in front of the supermarket staff who helped apply for the membership card, and there was already a murmur in his heart.

Costco Supermarket is very powerful. Just to apply for membership cards, there are eight channels, and each channel has a computer.

The current most basic version of a computer costs only $999.

But even at the price of three nine dollars, it is still very expensive.

Not to mention, the computer used by the supermarket staff in front of me has a seemingly simple system that records detailed member-related information.

Such a computer is definitely not the most basic version, so the price is certainly not three to nine dollars.

It can also be seen from here that the strength of Costco Supermarket is indeed very impressive.

In fact, Costco Supermarket has already begun to implement local area networking, especially in North America. It has been able to connect all membership systems and supermarket settlement systems in the United States to nationwide networking.

Just this part of the investment is very, very expensive.

But no matter how expensive it is, this is a part that must be invested, because only in this way can we provide better services to consumers.

For example, when a theft occurs, a monitor installed on the roof of a supermarket can fully identify the thief and the theft process.

Even if the thief's stealing skills are very good, he can't stand the use of ultra-high-tech cameras, which can completely capture the thief's movements.

In this way, whenever a similar incident occurs, the surveillance video can be handed over directly to the police.

Therefore, whether it is Costco Supermarket, Qianduoduo Supermarket, or other white glove companies such as Washington Supermarket, there are very few incidents of petty theft.

Just because everyone is afraid!

Surveillance videos are taken at every turn, and they are turned over to the police station at every turn. Which thief can withstand this?
What's more, the laws against thieves in North America are still quite strict today.

The most critical thing is that the supermarket actually disclosed all the information and photos of the thief to the public at the entrance of the supermarket or other places.

Well, now, even other people who wanted to steal or take advantage, all turned off.

Not long after Costco opened, a thief incident occurred. Gerald even saw the shopkeeper put a small nail clipper into his pocket.

"Thief!"

Gerald couldn't stand this kind of thief the most. The reason why he was forced to transfer to the psychology department responsible for paperwork was because during an operation to catch a thief, he chased the thief until he was gasping for breath. , and then accidentally rolled down a downhill staircase.

Later, the thief became disabled, and Gerald was sued by the thief's family. He then lost his original position as captain of the action team and was forced to be transferred to the psychology department.

Now a thief steals in front of him, and he gets the stolen goods as well, so he just steals the person.

But a nail clipper is not expensive and does not constitute a condition of detention.

Therefore, the most Gerald could do was to warn the other party.

Costco Supermarket also quickly came to the security guard and manager, directly invited the thief into a small room, and then arranged for the thief to take classes.

Ideological education courses are extremely difficult for ordinary people, let alone thieves?
So the thief was devastated, but he couldn't help but look at it.

Gerald didn't know what exactly happened next.

In the next shopping experience, Gerald felt quite novel.

Many products are indeed very cheap, and the key is that the discounts are huge. But for Gerald, most of the products are high-quality products, which is what surprises him the most.

As a membership-based supermarket, the products provided there do not necessarily mean they are cheap.

Rather, it represented a high-quality product that was completely different from what he had seen in other stores.

Therefore, in this atmosphere of surprise, his shopping cart became more and more full, until it accumulated a lot of goods.

Fruits, snacks, daily toiletries, clothes, etc., that simply doesn’t need too much.

At this point, Gerald still felt that there were a lot of products that he had not bought, and he wished he could move the entire supermarket back home.

When paying the bill, Gerald couldn't help but feel distressed, because after the discounts were applied, he still needed to pay US$379.8 for the items in the shopping cart.

Damn it!

Why is it still so expensive?
But looking at the goods he bought, he was satisfied. They seemed a bit expensive, but in fact he made a lot of money. After all, if he bought these goods elsewhere, they would cost only six to seven hundred dollars, and he couldn't get them at all. .

The shopping experience of Gerald, an ordinary policeman, is almost a microcosm of most London citizens shopping in Costco supermarkets.

Costco Supermarket’s first business day in London ended in a pretty perfect atmosphere.

Of course, on the first day of business, the revenue data is the most terrifying and has little reference value.

It can even be said that because the consumption potential of residents near the supermarket was drained on the first day, it is not conducive to the long-term flow of water.

Unless more consumers from more remote areas can be attracted to come to the supermarket to shop, this will be difficult.

From one end of the city to the other, you may need to drive twenty or thirty kilometers, which is still too far.

So in a big city like London, there can be two or three Costco supermarkets.

Just like New York, a huge city, there are four Costco supermarkets.

Of course, this is one of the reasons why Costco Supermarket was the first to land in the British Isles, because this supermarket cannot open too many, otherwise, the number of customers will be much less.

After all, as a membership-based supermarket, customer sources are very important.

Moreover, the annual membership fee of US$199 was still too expensive after all. Zheng Zhigui even suggested to Chen Guohua to lower the annual fee.

But Chen Guohua rejected it.

The reason is also very simple. If the annual membership fee is reduced, wouldn’t it mean that we will operate at a loss?
It's like a Washington supermarket, a bit different.

It’s really hard to say how far Washington supermarkets can go.

When Costco Supermarket opened successfully in London, Qianduoduo Supermarket's Christmas sale also ushered in a wave of hot sales in North America.

From the Christmas promotion that started in 1966 to now in 1968, there have been two years of experience. Many consumers have already figured out the rules of Qianduoduo Supermarket's discount promotions.

For major holidays like the Christmas sale, the promotion is definitely the strongest, no one else.

Therefore, when many consumers encounter some daily needs that are not urgent, they will wait until the Christmas sales before choosing to purchase them.

The entire Christmas sale will last for more than half a month. It is relatively long and powerful, and many consumers are very satisfied.

Even large-ticket items such as refrigerators, color TVs, and washing machines were sold a lot, because the discounts on such large-ticket items are not small.

The situation in North America is very different from other places. Most young people will move out to live on their own after adulthood, rather than continuing to live with their parents.

Therefore, the demand for large home appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators and color TVs will naturally not be small.

As for large-ticket items, you can definitely get more discounts when you participate in discount activities.

As loyal customers of Qianduoduo Supermarket, all of them are masters of budgeting, so they are all very thrifty.

No matter how consumers shop around and be diligent and frugal, for Qianduoduo Supermarket, it is the merchants who make more money, not the consumers who save money.

Of course, as a consumer of Qianduoduo Supermarket, you will definitely save more money than customers of other supermarket brands.

After the Christmas promotion throughout December, due to the increase in stores, Qianduoduo Supermarket's monthly revenue in December far exceeded last year, exceeding 20 billion US dollars.

In terms of this revenue performance, it is already comparable to the annual gross national product of other countries.

However, the profit margin of Qianduoduo Supermarket's products is too low, so this revenue does not have much reference value.

Even so, Lannister Morgan, von der Leyen, Brenda Mellon and other big capitalists are salivating again.

After entering January, after learning about the revenue of Qianduoduo Supermarket, Lannister Morgan personally summoned everyone to the meeting room of his home to discuss how to acquire Qianduoduo Supermarket.

If we are unable to acquire Qianduoduo Supermarket, we will definitely be sorry for our status as 'big capitalists'.

"How to acquire? They now have the help of the Boston consortium, the California consortium and the Texas consortium, and they still owe nearly 10 billion US dollars in loans, and the profit rate is still less than a few thousandths. Even in December, they came If the profit margin reaches a few ten thousandths, how can we still acquire it?”

As soon as the topic was brought up, Brenda Mellon said angrily.

December is the Christmas sale, and all the capitalists present including Brenda Mellon know exactly how deep the discounts at Qianduoduo Supermarket are.

Because everyone is staring at Qianduoduo Supermarket. Even if its profits are low, it is still a North American retail giant, and it is still the top one. After all, its monthly revenue exceeds 20 billion US dollars, which is really scary.

Was the previous Sears department store awesome enough?
However, at its peak, Sears' annual revenue was only US$6 billion.

There is a big gap between it and Qianduoduo Supermarket.

Although this is because the profit margin of Qianduoduo Supermarket's products is too low, many consumers are happy to choose Qianduoduo Supermarket instead of other supermarkets.

But there is no denying that the revenue of Qianduoduo Supermarket is so powerful that it is frightening and shocking.

It is absolutely incredible that just a retail supermarket can achieve annual revenue of hundreds of billions of dollars and leverage a market worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

Therefore, it is understandable why big capitalists like Lannister Morgan are salivating.

"Why can't it be acquired? As far as I know, people from Texas, Boston and California have never invested in Qianduoduo Supermarket."

Lannister Morgan rolled his eyes, very dissatisfied with Brenda Mellon's depressing remarks.

There is a saying that you should not be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but be afraid of teammates who are like pigs.

What Brenda Mellon said was very demoralizing for everyone.

The meeting has just started, and you are already giving in. Why don’t you come to the meeting? It’s really too much!
"Since they don't have a stake in Qianduoduo Supermarket, we can cut them off in advance."

"I think we are showing some sincerity this time. I really don't believe it. The shareholders behind Qianduoduo Supermarket won't be moved?"

Hearing Lannister Morgan's words, Vonderian nodded in support.

Paredson, Geinhardt, and Holcafferty all had thoughtful expressions on their faces, as if they were weighing the pros and cons.

Qianduoduo Supermarket is a very good investment target. If it can be acquired, it would be great.

If acquisition is not possible, it is also excellent to choose to invest in shares.

It's just that Qianduoduo Supermarket is a tough guy. It's a bit too much to refuse the olive branch of big capitalists like them.

"Are you planning to give Qianduoduo Supermarket a valuation of hundreds of billions of dollars?"

Suddenly, August couldn't help but asked sarcastically.

When Lannister heard this, he immediately wanted to curse.

Fake!

What's going on with these people?

Did you take any medicine today?

Damn it!

What he didn't know was that before today's meeting, Auguste went to Qianduoduo Supermarket several times a few days ago and yesterday, and was rejected there several times.

In other words, Auguste took action earlier, but Qian Duoduo's supermarket didn't care about him at all.

He couldn't help it, so now he couldn't help but be sarcastic during meetings.

Because in his opinion, Lannister's plan will definitely not succeed.

This can be regarded as adding a little more difficulty, and it can also be regarded as a preview in advance.

And just when August, Vonderian, Lannister, Brenda Mellon and others gathered to discuss how to acquire or invest in Qianduoduo Supermarket, Chen Yuanchao had already contacted his brother-in-law.

"Uncle, this has been the case recently. Many capitalists have contacted our Qianduoduo Supermarket and asked us to inform the board of directors about cooperation in equity participation or acquisition."

In Beijing, Zhenhua Research Institute, Chen Guohua was sitting in his office, listening to his eldest nephew's work report, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Qianduoduo Supermarket opened in July 1966, and it has been more than two years now.

Today, Qianduoduo Supermarket has more than 200 stores, and its monthly revenue exceeded 20 billion US dollars in the past December.

However, unlike the outside world's "guessed" profit rate of a few thousandths or a few thousandths, in fact, the profit of Qianduoduo Supermarket has always been around a few percent.

This profit margin is also very low, but it cannot sustain high revenue.

The high revenue actually speaks for itself.

Even if calculated based on the revenue of 20 billion U.S. dollars, annual revenue of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars per year, based on an average profit of about 2%, it can still have a net profit of more than 2 billion U.S. dollars every year.

A net profit of more than 2 billion US dollars is something that is rare for many companies.

What's more, it's still unknown whether many companies can have a revenue of 2 billion US dollars, let alone a revenue of 100 billion US dollars. It is normal for such a large Qianduoduo supermarket to be targeted by capitalists.

"In this case, then you wait for the news from me, but you can prepare first. When the time comes, start the first round of financing negotiations and prepare relevant data."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Guohua said this.

At this time, although Qianduoduo Supermarket is not yet ready to go public, it is urgent to attract more capital.

It is said that it is the first round of financing, but it is actually giving money to people. This money can also be said to be protection fees.

After all, Qianduoduo Supermarket seems to be very impressive, but if those big capital conglomerates are really desperate to take action, Qianduoduo Supermarket will be like a bubble that will burst as soon as it is rubbed.

Therefore, those big capitals must be brought into the shareholders' meeting. Even if they are just mascots, they must be allowed in. At the same time, the management shares given to Carl Bryan and others must be cashed in.

"Okay, uncle, I understand."

Chen Yuanchao nodded. He was not surprised. After all, this was part of the plan.

There will definitely be some delegations representing major shareholders attending the first-round financing negotiation meeting. Although it will be led by Chen Yuanchao, other things may come up in the meantime.

Therefore, for now, Chen Yuanchao definitely needs to prepare.

After hanging up the phone with Chen Yuanchao, Chen Guohua contacted Qiu Zongyue. After communicating with the latter, after waiting for about half a day, the leaders gave a positive answer.

Therefore, the first round of financing conference for Qianduoduo Supermarket is about to begin.

The news spread quickly. When Lannister Morgan and other big capitalists learned the news, they all cursed.

Fake!

Because Qianduoduo Supermarket took the initiative to raise the first round of financing, which shows that it has made relevant preparations.

At this time, it’s hard to say who is taking the lead.

A week later, the first round of financing negotiation meeting was officially held at the Qianduoduo Supermarket headquarters in the Boston area.

Lannister Morgan, Brenda Mellon, Augustus, Paradeson and others who could not sit still all came to the scene to participate in the conference in person.

The Dallisandro family in California sent their family leader Hobart Dallisandro to attend, and even Richard Milhouse attended the conference in person.

When they saw Richard Milhouse, everyone couldn't help but their pupils shrank suddenly.

Who this gentleman is is familiar to everyone present.

No one expected that Qian Duoduo Supermarket would be so powerful and directly invited this person over.

Almost everyone greets Richard Milhouse respectfully, because the latter is currently the hottest figure in North America, bar none.

It's already early January, and January 20th isn't that far away.

It stands to reason that at such a critical moment, Richard Milhouse should be very busy. How could he still attend such a meeting?

Nonsense, even though it was only the first time to share the cake, Richard Milhouse did not dare to underestimate it.

After all, Qianduoduo Supermarket is really rich, and its spending is very generous. Naturally, Richard Milhouse has no reason to refuse.

Since you can't refuse, just enjoy it.

His appearance in the conference room has already explained everything. He gave Qian Duoduo a supermarket platform and restrained himself from any evil ideas.

Today is still an era of big monitors and small capital, although Richard Milhouse is not yet the monitor.

But it has only been about ten days since he became the squad leader.

In this way, many problems have been explained.

Clive, who came from the McCormick family from Chicago, sat in a corner of the conference room and looked at the situation, suddenly a little funny.

Today it seems that the big capitalists are preparing to carve up the Qianduoduo supermarket, and everyone wants to eat the fattest piece of meat.

But after Richard Milhouse appeared, everyone began to murmur that the next meeting might not be that simple.

Augustus has always had a bad look on his face, because last week, he was rejected, and then serious differences arose when he discussed with Lannister Morgan and others how to acquire Qianduoduo Supermarket.

Now, luckily, Qianduoduo Supermarket has taken the initiative to start first-round financing negotiations.

Does Qianduoduo Supermarket really want to open and give away money to everyone?
It’s hard to say whether it’s a gift or not.

Ronald Lawrence, the head of the Boston Consortium, is the happiest. After all, they gave Qianduoduo a billion-dollar loan.

This loan is not small, and it also helped Qianduoduo Supermarket take off.

Now can be said to be the harvest season.

Soon, Chen Yuanchao, Carl Bryan and others all appeared, along with a delegation of shareholders.

The so-called shareholder delegation is all foreigners, not Chinese.

This is confusing!

As a white-glove company, Qianduoduo Supermarket itself has many Chinese-Americans in its management and employees. If there are even Chinese shareholders, it would be really unjustifiable.

Therefore, the shareholder delegation composed of a group of foreigners has explained everything.

However, these shareholder delegations are more like mascots. They sit in positions and only have the right to nod or shake their heads. The right to speak belongs to Chen Yuanchao.

Therefore, at the beginning of the financing negotiations, Chen Yuanchao presided over the meeting first and explained the meeting rules, indicating that the meeting was highly confidential.

Then let Carl Bryan announce the performance and profits of Qianduoduo Supermarket in the past year.

There are two very important data. One is the annual revenue of the entire 1968. Qianduoduo Supermarket reached an astonishing US$121.7 billion.

The net profit is US$2.434 billion!

After learning these two data, everyone present widened their eyes with expressions of disbelief.

hiss!
"Fake, what the hell, Karl, are you sure you didn't say anything wrong just now? In the past 1968, Qianduoduo Supermarket's net profit was US$2.434 billion?"

Augustus was the first one to stand up in shock and stared incoherently and asked.

Faced with such rude questioning from Augustus, Carl Bryan was not angry, but smiled and said:

"I know you don't believe it, but this is the net profit of our Qianduoduo Supermarket last year. Of course, all this money was invested in store expansion."

"Qianduoduo Supermarket started from scratch. I am one of the witnesses and managers. All these data are in my mind."

"As for why the net profit of our Qianduoduo Supermarket increased so dramatically last year, that is a secret of our company itself, and it is not convenient to announce it."

"If you are lucky enough to be one of the shareholders of our Qianduoduo Supermarket, then you will be able to share this secret."

Everyone in the conference room silently watched Carl Bryan show off, but everyone knew that the real ones were Chen Yuanchao and the shareholders behind him.

Before coming here, everyone knew that the reason why Duoduo Supermarket was rich was Chen Yuanchao from the beginning. As for the shareholders behind it, they are actually the real angels.

As for who is the major shareholder, we don’t know at all now.

"Dennis, are the data that Karl mentioned just now true?"

It was at this time that Feng Delian came to his senses, stared at Chen Yuanchao, and asked in a deep voice.

The data is so explosive that it is unbelievable, but Carl Bryan also said that there are secrets in it, so this part of the secret is what everyone wants to know the most.

It really makes people scratch their heads, but also puzzles them.

"Feng Delian, of course this is true," Chen Yuanchao said with a smile:

"For the sake of God, you may doubt us, but please don't doubt Qianduoduo Supermarket, because now anyone may become a shareholder of our Qianduoduo Supermarket, especially Carl Bryan, who will definitely pass by Management option to become one of our shareholders”

"So, if our Qianduoduo supermarket did not have such strong profitability, then they would never work so hard and might even have been poached by competitors."

Chen Yuanchao spoke in person, and Feng Delian was immediately speechless.

The current situation is very unfavorable to them, because they really don't know that Qianduoduo Supermarket's net profit in 1968 would be so high.

With such a strong ability to make money, why do you still need to invest in shares?

Therefore, what Qianduoduo Supermarket wants is not money, but other resources.

Financing is not just about money, but also the political resources and other resources behind it. These are not a matter of money, or even if they are money, they are resources that can only be obtained at a high cost.

Therefore, for now, it is impossible for Lannister Morgan and the others to gain an advantage in the subsequent negotiations.

"We need to verify the relevant situation. Let's terminate the negotiation now."

At this moment, Hobart Dallisandro suddenly spoke, and this proposal was unanimously approved by everyone.

When Chen Yuanchao heard this, he smiled confidently and said:
"The financing conference will not last long. If there is no response from you after three days, it will be deemed that everyone has abstained, so I hope everyone will pay attention to the time."

In this way, the first meeting ended in an anticlimactic manner.

However, the meeting was over, but not everyone left.

Richard Milhouse, in particular, directly asked Chen Yuanchao if he could go to the latter's office to talk.

Of course the latter would not refuse, so the two went to the office. Not long after they sat down, Richard Milhouse immediately asked:

"Dennis, the reason why your net profit was so high last year was because of the sweets sold in your supermarket? Or, to be more precise, was it high fructose corn syrup, a sweetener?"

Hearing this, Chen Yuanchao was slightly surprised.

"Richard, I have to admire you, you are such a smart man."

"Yes, you guessed it right. It is indeed because of the sweetener that we have such a high net profit."

When Richard Milhouse heard this, his eyes burst into light.

Sweeteners are absolutely a blessing from heaven for grains, especially grains like corn.

Since he established the policy of using food as a diplomatic weapon, he has been committed to research in these aspects.

A pure food war cannot satisfy the appetite of those capitalists. How to maximize profits is the consistent approach of capitalists.

Previously, Richard Milhouse also learned about the corn syrup sweetener from other people, but its patent fees were too expensive.

But now it seems that the annual patent fee of 50 million US dollars is not expensive.

It can even be said to be very cheap. Why?
Take Archer Daniels Midland, a grain company, as an example. If this grain company can harvest 50 million tons of corn every year, then with corn syrup technology, it can definitely maximize profits.

The world cannot digest so much corn, so it can be made into sweets and sold, accelerating the export of related sweets such as chocolate, hamburgers, and Happy Fat House Water.

In this way, it will not only increase North America's share of foreign commodity exports, but also expand North America's influence overseas.

Almost instantly, Richard Milhouse's brain was running at high speed and he thought of many things.

“How much is the corn syrup patent fee for your Qianduoduo supermarket?”

Upon hearing this question, Chen Yuanchao did not hide it, but directly quoted a figure of 10 million US dollars.

This one is cheaper, but it’s not cheap either, it’s still very expensive anyway.

Richard Milhouse nodded, pondered, and did not continue to speak.

After a while, Richard Milhouse suddenly raised his head, looked at Chen Yuanchao, and asked brightly:

"Does your Qianduoduo supermarket want to continue to acquire farms?"

The latter suddenly felt confused. The next moment, his heart trembled suddenly. It was obvious that he thought of something mentioned by his uncle in the plan.

The world’s four major food giants!
Among them, North America occupies three seats!

However, at this time, Archer Daniels Midland, Bunge, Louis Dreyfus and Cargill, the world's four major grain giants, have not yet been fully formed.

In North America in the late 1960s, there were still many small and medium-sized farms. Grain companies such as Archer Daniels Midland Company had not yet completely transformed into grain giants with huge global influence.

Therefore, for now, Qianduoduo Supermarket is not without opportunities.

Even compared to grain companies like Archer Daniels Midland Company, Qianduoduo Supermarket has greater advantages.

why?
Just because once Qianduoduo Supermarket opens up the upstream industry chain, the entire one-stop service will be completely formed.

Qianduoduo Supermarket can completely establish branches in Europe and other places like Costco Supermarket.

Then corn, wheat and other grains produced in North America can be quickly dumped around the world through Qianduoduo supermarket stores.

Moreover, because Qianduoduo Supermarket is not a membership-based supermarket, it is still a low-cost supermarket.

As a result, many consumers can enter Qianduoduo supermarket for shopping.

This means that corn harvested from North America can be made into various sweets through processing plants and then sold globally through Qianduoduo supermarkets.

By then, the entire Qianduoduo Supermarket will probably become a world-famous top multinational group.

Thinking of this, not only Chen Yuanchao, but also Richard Milhouse also thought of something.

So neither of them spoke unexpectedly, and Richard Milhouse even regretted it. After all, he was too impulsive just now.

Not bad now.

The shares in Qianduoduo Supermarket are probably even more valuable.

After all, its future is bright.

As the incoming class president, Richard Milhouse was moved, let alone those capitalists?

Now the wings of Qianduoduo Supermarket have gradually become fuller.

It will be even more difficult for other capitalists to enter the supermarket track and compete with Qianduoduo Supermarket.

There is the support of Richard Milhouse, the sweetener corn syrup, Qianduoduo Supermarket’s own low-price strategy, and the policy of using food as a diplomatic weapon.

It can be said that even a pig can take off smoothly and expand at the speed of light.

"Richard, our Qianduoduo Supermarket will definitely continue to acquire farms, but the details will depend on the financing situation this time."

After a while, Chen Yuanchao broke the awkward silence and spoke first:

"We have already made relevant plans, so our Qianduoduo Supermarket will definitely support your food weapon strategy 100%."

At this point, there is no need to make it too obvious.

When Richard Milhouse heard this, he could only nod his head and said with a smile:

"Thank you for your support, but I believe that with a lot of money in your supermarket, the future will definitely not be bad."

Chen Yuanchao shook his head and said:

"Richard, I have to correct your wrong statement. It's not your Qianduoduo supermarket, but our Qianduoduo supermarket."

These words immediately made Richard Milhouse stunned for a moment, and then he laughed.

No one dislikes money.

Even Richard Milhouse is no exception.

With Chen Yuanchao's cleverness, how to get Richard Milhouse to get this part of the funds is certainly not a big problem.

Anyway, I won't let anyone get a hold of it, not even a little bit.

Chen Yuanchao also looked at each other and laughed, and for a while there was a cheerful atmosphere in the office.

Richard Milhouse left the Boston area in a very happy mood.

But Chen Yuanchao didn't expect that it was just a spoils-sharing conference, but there would be such an unexpected gain.

Almost without saying a word, the transaction was completed smoothly.

Chen Guohua, who was far away in the capital, quickly received a work report from his eldest nephew. He was not surprised to learn that Richard Milhouse had also boarded the pirate ship.

In a country where capital is everywhere, even the squad leader is not immune.

Next, it depends on whether the other big capitalists have realized their interest.
