After listening to Robson's words, Yu Wenfei smiled slightly.

Robson's point of view is actually the thinking of almost all traditional retail giants, who in 2003 still looked down on e-commerce, believing that e-commerce websites were just small fights and could not pose a real threat.

However, these people in the traditional industry, they don't recognize a truth.

That is, technology changes the world!

"Mr. Robson, for high-end consumers, the shopping experience may be important. However, for the vast majority of ordinary consumers, low prices and shopping convenience will always be ahead of the shopping experience! When one day, commodity manufacturers directly open stores on the Internet to sell goods, how can you retailers compete with them?" Yu Wenfei said meaningfully.

Robson was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

Yu Wenfei's sentence hit the nail on the head and pointed out the true meaning of the retail industry, and Robson couldn't refute it.

Both of them are very familiar with the retail industry, Yu Wenfei's Knorr supermarket, it only took one year to become the largest supermarket chain in the mainland, if he doesn't know about the retail industry, it is obviously a joke.

And not to mention Robson, the number one retail giant in the world!

When consumers buy products in terminal stores, the retail price, the proportion of the cost price of the product may not be too large, and the logistics links, publicity and promotion costs, store rental costs, store labor costs, and even the channel costs of several layers of wholesalers are included in it, accounting for a large proportion.

Wal-Mart has tried its best to reduce costs, they are group bulk procurement, relying on huge purchases to reduce the cost of goods purchased, and then distribute goods globally to provide consumers with the cheapest price as much as possible.

But even so, after adding the rent and labor costs of the store, plus their own profits, this retail price is still much higher than the ex-factory price of the goods.

As Yu Wenfei said, if product manufacturers directly put aside the intermediate channels such as Wal-Mart and Carrefour, and face consumers directly, and there is no heavy cost of store labor on the Internet, the price of goods can be imagined to a low extent.

When the time comes, how will Walmart compete......

But Robson is obviously not an easy person to be convinced, and after thinking for a while, he still said unwillingly: "Wal-Mart is also making changes all the time, for example, many products we have directly made our own brands, which means that we Wal-Mart are manufacturers! Moreover, at Wal-Mart, consumers can buy everything they need at one time." The limitations of online e-commerce are still very large, and no single manufacturer can produce all goods.

If consumers want to buy all the daily necessities, they may have to compare and choose many e-commerce companies, which is a waste of time and cost.

Even if the worst happens, consumers choose to shop online instead of going to offline supermarkets, then we can directly build our own Walmart online supermarket, and it is very convenient and fast to transform. The original stores and warehouses can even be directly used as logistics transit centers, and the delivery efficiency is much higher than those pure e-commerce. ”

It's okay to talk about this topic here, Yu Wenfei doesn't have to fight with him to find out whether it's right or wrong, some things, point to point, whether to listen to it or not, or how much to listen to, it's Robson's own business.

So, he smiled and said, "Walmart is a great company, and I hope it will continue to be great." This time IBM got rid of Mr. Robson, and I hope that we will have the opportunity to continue to work together in the future. ”

Robson also smiled heartily: "There will be opportunities, in the next few years, Wal-Mart will continue to increase investment in Chinese mainland." On the contrary, I think you are interested in developing here in the United States. Let's join hands and help each other. ”

can say this, it shows that Robson does not underestimate Yu Wenfei, and can put Yu Wenfei on an equal footing with him, to be honest, this is tantamount to exalting Yu Wenfei.

After all, with Wal-Mart's size at that time, which country to develop in, the people who came into direct contact with it were all the top-level figures, and there really wasn't much to ask Yu Wenfei to help with.

Perhaps, Robson saw that Yu Wenfei had achieved his current step in such a short period of time at such an age, and he was more optimistic about his future development, which can be regarded as an investment in advance.

When he came to Wal-Mart headquarters this time, Yu Wenfei did not see several other members of the Walton family, and Robson's younger siblings did not work at the headquarters at that time, and they were busy with their own affairs.

Like his sister, her main focus is on family foundations and philanthropy, as well as local infrastructure, and she does not interfere in the management of the company.

It is no exaggeration to say that all the roads and infrastructure around the small town of Bentonville were built by the Waltons out of their own pockets.

In the past, there was not even a decent road, and every time people from Wal-Mart's field branches came to the headquarters for a meeting, they had to come a day in advance, because the road conditions were so bad!

The Walton family is equivalent to building a small city, and a considerable part of the funds for education in the entire state of Arkansas are also donated by them.

…………

This time I came to visit the Walton family, accompanied by only two secretaries, Peier and Hu Jingjing, and the rest were busy in New York with the follow-up with IBM's people.

"Mr. Fei, will we be in New York?" asked Pell .

"No, a trip to California. Yu Wenfei said.

"Ah, will you go to Facebook North America and make peace with President Ai?" asked Pei'er curiously.

When Effie arrived in the United States, she transferred directly to California, because Facebook's North American branch and Blizzard's headquarters were there.

"No, go and do some personal business. Yu Wenfei replied.

"Shall you go to Stanford University?" Hu Jingjing said beside her.

Hu Jingjing also knows a little about Zhou Mengqi, because sometimes on holidays, Yu Wenfei asks her to buy gifts and mail them to Stanford University, and the recipient is of course Zhou Mengyi.

However, Hu Jingjing has never understood the relationship between Yu Wenfei and Zhou Mengqi, and feels that the two are not like boyfriend and girlfriend, but they are closer than ordinary good friends.

has been with Yu Wenfei for a long time, and the relationship between the two has now broken through that layer, and many things about Yu Wenfei are no longer hidden from her.

Like Wu Xiu, Zhou Mengyi and Yu Wenfei, Hu Jingjing knows.

Of course, the reason why she knew that Yu Wenfei also had a useful intention.

Yu Wenfei nodded, and said with a calm smile: "Yes, go there to visit your friends, by the way, Pei'er, you can also go back to see your family and friends or something." Well, when you get to California, I'll give you two days off. ”

Pei'er nodded happily, she hadn't been home since she went to the mainland.

…………

California, Stanford University, Zhou Mengqi was studying in the library with her good friend Jesse, when suddenly her phone vibrate.

She frowned slightly and glanced at the phone screen, and her face immediately became bright.

Because the above shows "cousin", since the last time I came to the United States, because I thought that I might have to fly around the world often in the future, so Yuwenfei ran a global number.

Of course, the new number was also told to Zhou Mengqi.

Zhou Mengqi picked up the mobile phone, walked quickly to the corridor outside, answered the phone and said happily: "Cousin, why are you calling me now, it should be ...... It's late at night in China. ”

"Haha, didn't I come here to do some errands, and I'll stop by to see you after I'm done. Yu Wenfei said heartily.

Yu Wenfei's acquisition of IBM's personal computer business, this paragraph made a lot of noise, and Zhou Mengqi also knew about it, but it happened in New York, she thought that Yu Wenfei didn't have time to visit her this time, but he still came.

"Where are you?" asked Zhou Mengqi.

"In the parking lot next to the main building, are you free in the afternoon, and I'll take you to visit Facebook North America?" Yu Wenfei said.

"Okay, then you wait for me, I'm in the library, I'll go over right away. Zhou Mengqi replied.

Hung up the phone and returned to the study room, Zhou Mengqi whispered to Jesse, "I have something to go out." ”

Jesse nodded, and didn't ask more.

………………

didn't have time to go back to the dormitory, Zhou Mengqi hurried to the main building with her bag on her back, and in the parking lot next to it, she saw Yu Wenfei standing there from a distance.

Half a year has passed, and Zhou Mengqi feels that Yu Wenfei has changed more and more.

The boy who used to be a little young has now become a man with a lofty spirit, and compared to his peers, Yu Wenfei no longer has the aura of a student.

Maybe it's because of the more mature clothes, or maybe it's the kind of change brought about by staying in a high position for a long time.

Yu Wenfei also saw Zhou Mengqi who was running in small steps, in his eyes, Zhou Mengqi has not changed much, and she is still the girl who is a little introverted and has long hair in his impression.

Hu Jingjing stood beside Yu Wenfei, and also saw Zhou Mengqi coming over, and looked at Yu Wenfei out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Because she saw a gentle look on Yu Wenfei's face, in her impression, no matter when facing any girl, even Wu Xiu and Zhou Mengyi, Yu Wenfei had never done this.

Perhaps, this girl named Zhou Mengqi is the one that Yu Wenfei really likes......

…………

Waiting for Zhou Mengqi to walk in front of him, Yu Wenfei said with a smile: "Come, Mengqi, let me introduce you." This is Hu Jingjing, my secretary. Jingjing, this is Zhou Mengqi, my cousin, maybe you don't know, my cousin's nickname is from her, haha. ”

A smile appeared on Hu Jingjing's face, and she stepped forward to greet Zhou Mengqi.

After the two got to know each other, Yu Wenfei opened the car door behind him, "Let's go, let's go to the branch to have a look." ”

The North American branch of Facebook Games is not very far from Stanford University, and there is a reason why Yu Wenfei brought Zhou Mengqi to visit this time.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
