494 From Prince to Beggar

In the United States, you can not know who the president of the United States is, but you can't not know who Walmart is?

No, to be precise, Walmart is not a person, but a supermarket chain, and the reason why every American knows it is that it is found everywhere in the United States.

According to Song Zhichao's statistics, it is now 1992, and the total number of Wal-Mart supermarkets and Wal-Mart department stores in 50 states in the United States is as high as 1,200, that is, almost every 50 states will have at least 24 Wal-Mart supermarkets or department stores.

Of course, this is not the main reason why Song Zhichao chose Wal-Mart, the main reason is that Wal-Mart's purchase channels are different from many department stores--- it tries its best to save money from the purchase channels, therefore, Wal-Mart is the best choice to help VCD "direct sales"!

Since Song Zhichao locked Wal-Mart, the next step was to negotiate with the person in charge of Wal-Mart.

It turned out that the Wal-Mart Group was founded by Mr. Sam Walton, or it can be said that he started from scratch, which created such a huge company.

For this reason, Sam's inheritance of family members is also heartbroken. However, God did not fulfill people's wishes, and his own son, who was originally the most qualified to inherit the chairmanship of Sam's Group, died with his wife on the journey to discuss business because of a plane accident.

Sam Walton didn't want to be so sad, the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, this accident hit him too hard. In just a few days, Old Sam, who was originally in good spirits, seemed to be dozens of years old.

Originally, he was never late for work, and Sam, who liked to have morning meetings the most, was absent from meetings for three consecutive months.

Finally got through this hard time, old Sam also wanted to open, send love and work, and take good care of the gift left by his son--- dear grandson Jack.

Because Old Sam was so fond of Jack that Sam spent his teenage years almost carefree--- or to be precise, in a spending day.

At that time, Jack could be said to be the "prince" of the American world, with countless luxury cars--- even the world's limited edition Phantom Rolls-Royce had three, black, white and red. The entry and exit are either helicopter pick-ups or groups of bodyguards, and because of Old Sam's strict protection of him, many people don't know what this mysterious Jack Walton really looks like.

Growing up in such a superior, arguably luxurious environment, Jack didn't know about human suffering, let alone how much effort his ancestors had put into building the Wal-Mart empire.

Jack's daily life is almost always about driving yachts, driving parties, inviting friends and family to the most expensive food and wine, giving them the most expensive gifts--- when Jack was eighteen years old, he gave each of his eight friends a million-dollar Ferrari.

At that time, there was a saying in your circle: as long as you can be a friend of Jack Walton, even your dog can drive a Ferrari!

Gradually, however, the extravagant life brought Jack no longer satisfaction, but emptiness.

At this time, someone told him a secret, saying that his father and mother did not have to fly to England on a business trip that day, and it was his grandfather Sam Sr. who forced them to leave immediately.

This so-called secret irritated Jack deeply.

He finds Old Sam and confronts him.

I thought that old Sam would refute it and refuse to admit it.

But I didn't expect it---

Old Sam actually confessed, and he said to Jack with reproach, "It is my fault, God, that I killed my own son, and killed your parents--- if I had not ordered them to go to England." ”

Old Sam's words directly made Jack's mind fall apart.

He couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe it.

The grandfather who loves him so much turned out to be the murderer of his parents.

So, in the following time, Jack began to drink heavily, began to smoke DU, and began to degenerate--- believing that his grandfather Sam Walton was responsible for the death of his parents.

Old Samby knew what had happened to his precious grandson, how could he have degenerated like this, so he forced him to quit DU, and slapped him in the meantime to sober him up, telling Jack, "If you continue to degenerate like this, I will remove you from the Walton family!"

It was this sentence that completely stimulated Jack, and Jack laughed at old Sam: "I don't like your department store, I don't like your company--- you can start a business from scratch, I can also ---Yes, I will prove that I am stronger than you!"

It was after that argument that Jack left the house in a rage and started his own business, or wandering life.

Three years, three years.

Jack went from being a prince with fine clothes and food to a beggar with no skills.

He endured all the hardships, doing odd jobs in supermarkets, working as a porter in department stores, earning money to pay rent, and continuing his dream of surpassing Sam Walton and becoming a "department store tycoon" and "supermarket king".

But, the reality is cruel.

So far, he has achieved nothing.

Not long ago, Jack Walton read the newspaper and learned that his grandfather, Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart, had died of illness.

That night, Jack, who learned the news, hid alone in a cramped, damp rental house and cried to death.

After going through so much, Jack can be regarded as understanding the difficulties of his grandfather's entrepreneurship back then, and how wronged he was when he lost his son.

It's a pity that it's already late.

Old Sam never saw his grandson until he died.

Jack felt like he had done something big. It's a pity that I regret it too late, and it is estimated that I have already been removed from the family by my grandfather at this time, and I can inherit the Wal-Mart empire myself, and I am no longer a member of the Walton family.

Jack went home even more shamelessly.

It's just that when his grandfather came out of the funeral, he quietly glanced at it in the distance a few times, and then turned around and burst into tears.

......

After listening to the story told by Song Zhichao, Jack smiled, and smiled a little miserably, "So after you heard my story, you deliberately got an invitation letter and handed it to Martha, asking me to come here?"

Song Zhichao nodded, "Yes, that's true." ”

"You're not modest. Jack shook his head, "I admit it, everything you calculated is very accurate--- under your calculations, I came with an invitation that I thought was pie in the sky, and I also saw you, but ---" paused, revealing a hint of sarcasm: "Now I am almost like a beggar, how can I help you? You, dear Song, really miscalculated this time!"

The reason is that Song Zhichao would be very angry when he heard this, but he didn't expect him to just smile slightly, but asked, "Who told you that you are a beggar?"

Jack: "......"

"Do you know who told me your story?"

Jack: "......"

"Okay, dear friend, you can come in!" Song Zhichao suddenly clapped his hands outside the room.
