In the original history, Best Buy, which was born in 1966, was only a chain of audio stores in the early days, and it was not until 1983 that it officially entered the field of large electrical supermarkets and used the name "Best Buy".

It's 1981, and the name was registered because it's simple and easy to remember, and the right name is very important in the early days of a brand, especially in this kind of retail industry aimed at the masses.

"Bestbuy, that's a good name. He Guoyuan smiled and said, "Then I'll go out if it's nothing." ”

“OK。 Xu Zhi nodded in agreement.

Although it is easy to say, IBM's entry into the personal computer market will still have a certain impact on all the players in the field.

In the later generations of the mainland, almost no one knows IBM's personal computer, in the 21st century, its PC business was finally acquired by Lenovo, it seems quite a failure, but in the 80s, IBM's 5150 is almost the overlord of the high-end field of personal computers, the first 3 years sold more than 2 million units, also appeared in Time magazine, known as the "information age" of the originator.

If Apple created the era of personal computers, then IBM has brought countless people who don't know anything about computers into this market, although now Honor computers also rely on simplified operations to achieve this goal, but in terms of sales channels and brand influence, compared with IBM, it is a heaven and an underground.

This is also the fundamental reason why Xu Zhi is ready to invest a huge amount of money into the field of terminal sales, IBM is very rich, and now the market value is the world's first, as high as 70 billion US dollars, but the mainframe computer is its main market, the personal computer can only be said to be a small branch business, IBM can not invest hundreds of millions of dollars to build a physical channel for the field of personal computers with uncertain market prospects.

Because of the advantage of rebirth of the golden finger, Xu Zhi also remembered that among the companies in the traditional field, there are a number of companies with excellent development prospects, such as General Electric, Coca-Cola, Wal-Mart, Pepsi, etc., and Midea's profits in the past few years were used to buy these stocks.

The shares of these companies rose extremely high in the 80s and 90s, and the rate of return was very impressive, but the total value of the shares that these companies could buy was also limited, and Hutchison had gathered billions of Hong Kong dollars, and Midea's profits in the past few years were basically used to buy shares of these companies.

At present, they have basically reached the limit of what they can buy on the stock market, and unless they negotiate with the board of directors of the other party as they did with the general electric, and for no reason, these well-developed companies will not accept foreign investment.

The company's annual profit has been as high as 4-500 million US dollars, without understanding the prospects of other stocks, Xu Zhi does not dare to invest funds in the stock market at will, so it has become the best choice to expand the channel, not only to open the market for their own brand, but also just this kind of electronic supermarket itself is a very promising industry, worthy of a long-term huge investment.

......

Time flies, and it's September very soon.

Xiangjiang Baohua Building, Lei Juekun, chairman of Kowloon Jianye, was drinking coffee while dealing with the business of several of its companies, and after a while, his face became ugly, and the secretary on the side saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately quieted down, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

The awkward silence was broken by the ringing of the "ding-......" phone.

"Hey, whoever. The secretary picked up the phone and asked.

"The chairman of the board is Lin Haifeng, the manager of Wing Hang Bank. The secretary immediately replied after asking clearly.

"Lin Haifeng, what is he doing here?" Lei Juekun frowned, but still said, "Let him in." ”

The secretary nodded and explained on the phone.

Soon, a 40-year-old middle-aged man entered Lei Juekun's office under the leadership of the front desk.

"Lei Sheng, long time no see. After Lin Haifeng came in, he said with a smile.

Lei Juekun also walked out of the desk, shook hands with a smile and said, "Lin Sheng, you haven't been here for a long time, I don't know if you have any advice for coming this time?"

After the two sat down, Lin Haifeng said: "Lei Sheng, I came here today because I found that there have been some abnormalities in the stock of your company's Kowloon Bus recently!"

Lei Juekun asked, "What is abnormal, the stock seems to be very stable!"

"It's because of stability that it's abnormal. "The Hong Kong MTR Corporation has just announced plans to develop the Kowloon Peninsula, and in the next 10 years, dozens of important commercial centres throughout Kowloon will be connected by the subway, which is a good thing for most companies, but it is definitely a disaster for bus companies," Lin said.

It stands to reason that if the MTR company announced such a thing, the share price of Kowloon Bus would have plummeted, but in fact it did not. ”

Lei Juekun shook his head and smiled: "Lin Sheng, you are too sensitive, in recent years, the land price in Xiangjiang has skyrocketed, and the Kowloon Bus Company also has a lot of good properties, and I am also ready to develop two of the plots, perhaps because of this, even if there is bad news about the construction of the subway, the stock has been steadily rising!"

"That's what I thought about at first. Lin Haifeng said with a smile: "However, I investigated the transaction records of the last month, and found that a large number of sell orders were sold, but they were all accepted by a group of anonymous accounts, and when the stock price is high, these anonymous accounts will also reverse sell stocks to suppress the stock price, and then re-acquire." This kind of operation, I think Lei Sheng should understand what the other party means, right?"

"Someone wants to buy Kowloon Motor Bus?" Although Lei Juekun is not a professional trader, he still understands some basic knowledge.

Lin Haifeng nodded and said, "Looking at the current situation, this is the case. ”

Lei Juekun asked, "Can you find out how many stocks the other party has?"

Lin Haifeng replied: "At present, it is estimated that the other party should have acquired about 5% in the stock market. ”

"5%, not too much. Lei Juekun said to himself.

Lin Haifeng said: "Lei Sheng, this matter should not be taken lightly, although the other party did not buy enough shares from the stock market, we also don't know whether the other party will directly buy from some Kowloon Bus shareholders. ”

"Then what do you mean?" Lei Juekun asked with a frown.

Lin Haifeng said: "It depends on how much Lei Sheng values the company of Kowloon Motor Bus, and from a safety point of view, Lei Sheng had better continue to increase his shareholding, at least to reach about 40% of the safety line." ”

“40%。 Lei Juekun frowned, Kowloon Bus is the Lei family's established industry, to this day, when it was passed into his hands, it was already the third generation of the family, although Lei Juekun has a very high talent in business, he began to diversify his development a long time ago, and has also achieved great success, and the total profits of several other companies in the family have exceeded the annual dividends of the Kowloon Bus Company.

But in any case, this is a family business, although Lui Juekun has only 20% of the shares, he has long regarded Kowloon Bus as his own asset, and the diversified development over the years has a great relationship with Kowloon Motor Bus.

Most of the citizens of Xiangjiang need to take the bus, and some advertisements on the bus have become the competition of many companies, and Lei Juekun uses the low price of the bus advertising to advertise his own community, which alone has increased a lot of revenue.

At the same time, part of the initial capital of the real estate project actually came from the sale of shares in the Kowloon Bus Corporation, and now that the funds have been invested in the housing market, the value industry of the company is now threatened.
