Why should Yuwenfei choose Walmart?

Isn't it good to choose China Resources Group, if you can cooperate with a group with strong strength and a very strong background, you will have a strong ally in China in the future!

This is to talk about the Wal-Mart family behind Wal-Mart, which can also be called the Walton family.

Fortune magazine once said of the Walton family: "Forget Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, in the United States, it is the Walton family that really has an impact on the American economy and society." ”

In terms of family wealth, the Walton family has more wealth than Bill Gates and Warren Buffett combined, and in 2003, the combined wealth of the Walton family was more than 130 billion, which is even higher than Singapore's GDP!

What is the rich and rival the country, this is!

Of course, no matter how rich the Walton family is, it has little to do with Yu Wenfei, who is interested in the influence of the Walton family in North American politics.

Some people may say that the Walton family has no one in important positions in politics, where does the influence come from?

The question is simple, because the Waltons control more than a million jobs in North America, and indirectly affect more than 10 million people!

These votes are enough to make any political dignitary respect this family.

In 2003, Walmart's founder, Sam Walton, had passed away, leaving only a widow and four children.

Helen Robson Walton, wife of Walton Sr., is serving as Chairman Emeritus of Walmart Inc. He has four children with Sam Walton and has $18.4 billion in assets.

Robson Walton, the elder Walton Sr.'s eldest son, was 58 years old in 2003. Divorced with three children. It has assets of 29 billion US dollars.

John Walton, the second son of the elder Walton, was 56 years old in 2003. Married with one child. It has assets of $25 billion.

Jim Walton, the youngest son of the elder Walton, was 54 years old in 2003. Married with four children. It has assets of 31 billion US dollars.

Alice Walton, daughter of the elder Walton, was 53 years old in 2003. Divorced and childless. It has assets of $30 billion.

Look at this family......

All of them are tens of billions of huge riches!

In a money society like the United States, huge wealth means power, so people who really know the United States know the influence of the Walton family in North America.

............

It just so happened that the company that Yuwenfei was going to buy was American.

And because this company is well-known and influential in the industry, if you want to buy it, you must get the approval of the U.S. Congress and the Committee on Foreign Investment.

It is said that this is a legal and compliant acquisition, and there is no reason why it should not be approved, but you don't think that foreigners are efficient.

They are not friendly to foreign investors at all, maybe they will review you for a year and a half, and they will consume you to death!

So the best option is to find someone to lobby and speed up the review.

So Yu Wenfei took this opportunity to get in touch with the Walton family......

Besides, even if you don't acquire that company, Facebook, including the companies under Star Technology, will inevitably go global in the future.

Making some strong allies on the American side in advance is also a must.

The Walton family is clearly one of the best choices.

Not to mention that Wal-Mart is the highest bid this time, even if their bid is not so high, as long as it is not ridiculously low, Yu Wenfei will sell Knorr to them.

Sometimes, selling a business isn't just about the money.

............

The two parties happily reached an acquisition intention, initialed the acquisition agreement, and there are many formalities to follow.

Yu Wenfei naturally doesn't have to do it himself, just leave the rest to Zhou Mengyi to dock, all the processes are completed, and it is estimated that it will take a certain amount of time to truly announce the success of the acquisition.

Wal-Mart is indeed rich, and this kind of giant acquisition of more than 10 billion yuan has not been twisted and twisted like other companies to engage in equity replacement or installment payments.

Scott said very happily that as long as there is no problem with the due diligence, after the formal acquisition contract is finally signed, all the purchase money will be transferred to the account designated by Yu Wenfei.

12 billion RMB!

Even Yu Wenfei couldn't help but be a little excited.

Of course, two billion of them will be distributed to Hu Jinchang, and what he gets is only 10 billion.

This money is still not enough.

You still have to think of ways to raise some funds to ensure that you achieve your goals.

............

As soon as the matter on Knorr's side came to an end, just wait for Zhou Mengyi and the other party to finish talking about the details and go through the process, Yu Wenfei continued to go back to work on the WeChat launch, which is the highlight of the near future.

The start-up capital of the WeChat project is only the 1.20 billion US dollars that Yuwenfei left in the account of Star Technology, which cannot be said to be less, after all, it is also 1 billion yuan when converted into RMB.

The server and computer room are all rented by Facebook, and the part of the computer room and server allocated by Facebook cannot be used up by themselves, and they are idle and idle, just enough to be used by WeChat.

Of course, WeChat's own server and computer room should also be prepared, and it is estimated that it will not be enough after the number of users rises in the future.

In addition to ensuring the wages and benefits of the employees of the project team, all of them must be invested in the construction of the computer room.

And after the volume of WeChat goes up, the pressure on the computer room is huge, and the money is estimated to be not enough.

Yu Wenfei is also a headache, in the eyes of outsiders, he has unlimited scenery, controls several promising Internet companies, and is worth more than 10 billion.

But only he knows that it doesn't matter if it's tens of billions or billions, it's just a number, and there is no way to realize it.

However, at present, the funds for the development of the enterprise must indeed be taken out with real money.

On the side of Facebook and Facebook Games, there are other shareholders anyway, and everyone can share it when they need to pay money.

WeChat currently has only one shareholder, and no one can share the pressure with him.

As for the money from the seller's supermarket, it is also a "special fund", Yuwenfei has already planned it, and it can't be embezzled, so WeChat has to find a way to pull some funds.

........................

In Yu Wenfei's office, Li Xin came to report his work again, and this time was close to the launch of WeChat, and he had to come over at least twice a day.

"Should our WeChat and email systems be launched at the same time? Last time, Mr. Fei said that WeChat and email are all free to use, and each mailbox should be allocated five gigabytes of free storage space, which is a lot of pressure on us. Li Xin said worriedly.

This is Yuwenfei's opinion, to be the best mailbox system in China, and to give all users a large free storage space, this space is up to five G!

Compared with the tens of MB of mailbox space in China at that time, the two G's were absolutely unbelievable.

You know, in those days, the average user's computer hard disk was just how big it was.

Generally, computer hard disks are only as big as 40G and 60G.

"Giving users five G's space doesn't mean that users can use up all five G's, in fact, there are a few ordinary users who will store so many files on the network. If you only save emails, that will take up a little more space. Yu Wenfei said with a smile.

Five G's, to be honest, it's just a gimmick.

After WeChat is launched, if it can successfully reach the goal, then this is also a 100 million-level software, if all users use up five gigabytes of free space, it really can't afford it.

But just like Yu Wenfei said, the vast majority of people don't use so much space, and the five Gs just look good.

"This free space is a selling point of our mailbox, and we want to highlight it when we advertise it. So be it...... Let's call it a network hard disk! WeChat mailbox, configure a free network hard disk with a large capacity of five G for each user for free! How is this slogan? Haha!" Yu Wenfei laughed.

Know how to blow the highlights of your own products!

This is one of Yuwenfei's deepest understanding of the Internet.

In fact, the benefits of WeChat mailbox are definitely more than this, whether it is the user experience of sending and receiving emails, or the stability of the system, or the aesthetic optimization of the interface, it is absolutely ahead of all competitors on the market.

But those things, which need to be experienced by users themselves, are far less gimmicky than "five G ultra-large capacity free network hard drives".

"Okay, then do what Mr. Fei said! I have already connected with Facebook and Facebook Games, once our WeChat is online, they will immediately update the version and seamlessly connect with WeChat, this time, the domestic instant messaging market, we are determined to win!" Li Xin said with his fists clenched.

"Oh, so confident, how long do you think it will take?" Yu Wenfei said with a smile.

Li Xin opened his mouth, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "This...... I estimate that it will take two or three years, after all, QQ has been in business for so long, occupying a first-mover advantage, and the number of users is so large, it is not easy to surpass it. ”

Yu Wenfei stood up, came to the floor-to-ceiling window, stretched out his hands, and opened the curtains suddenly, and the brilliant sunlight shone in through the glass.

The sunlight slanted on his body, as if the whole person was shrouded in a halo, a little dazzling.

Without looking back, he said, "You're underestimating." I can tell you, when it's dead!"

Li Xin looked at Yu Wenfei's back stupidly, opened his mouth wide, and was a little incredulous.

..................

WeChat has not yet been launched, and another big and small thing has happened in the domestic business circle, which has nothing to do with Yu Wenfei, but for some special reasons, Yu Wenfei was involved in a storm again.
