At the celebration dinner hosted by the Democratic Party, many Republicans came, including former President George H.W. Bush.

The Chinese have a saying called the tree falls and the tree is scattered, this sentence is now used to put the former President Mr. Bush Sr. is very suitable, the first eight years he was the focus of attention everywhere, counting the years when he was president, the elder Bush has been in the White House for 16 years, starting tomorrow, if there is no special reason for the ceremony, he does not have to come over, tonight's expression is obviously a little down.

President Reagan plus President Bush Sr., the Republicans have been in power for 16 years, Su Mu silently made a pertinent assessment in his heart, although these years have made the rich people in the United States richer, the tax cut policy is more to benefit the rich, and the circulation of wealth to a few people is accelerated, but the huge stimulus effect on the US economy is also obvious, aside from the pile of fiscal deficits, these two presidents have successfully pulled the strength of the United States up a level.

As a great benefactor of Silicon Valley, in the hands of President George H.W. Bush, the Soviet Union collapsed, the economy grew year by year, and the social benefits for the poor also increased a lot. With Lily's relationship, Su Mu had a good relationship with him, and took the initiative to walk over and talk to him for a long time.

The point of the party is to meet many people who are not usually seen, such as S. Robertson Walton, Jim Walton, Alice Walton, and Mr. Phil Knight, one of the founders of Nike, and Mr. John Mars, the majority shareholder of the famous candy company Mars.

When Su Mu came, these people were getting together to chat, saying that this circle belongs to the circle of the super-rich is not too much, the total value of several of them is still higher than Su Mu's current value, just the three Walton brothers and sisters who inherited the inheritance from their father, the total wealth is now as high as more than 30 billion US dollars, and the market value of the supermarket chain Wal-Mart is getting higher and higher.

It is impossible for a person to make all the money in this world, and in the process of Su Mu's fortune, he successfully missed many excellent investment opportunities, and only a very small part of them were caught by him, but that's it, it has made him so rich.

In 1984, when Su Mu first founded Qugou Supermarket, Wal-Mart's market value was only about one billion US dollars, and in just over ten years, its total market value has increased by more than 100 times, and its market value has successfully exceeded 100 billion US dollars!

As for Nike, Lily successfully seized the investment opportunity under Su Mu's advice, and now still holds a small number of Nike shares, and its market value has more than tripled in the past few years.

A group of rich people chatting will not be more or less money than anyone else, there seems to be a big difference between 40 billion US dollars and 10 billion US dollars, but in fact, the impact on life is not great, anyway, no one is short of money, and they can afford to buy what they want, and it is too vulgar to talk about money.

Seeing Su Mu coming, Mr. Knight greeted him warmly: "Hey, look who is coming, why didn't our richest man bring his wife to the party, I call her every time on the board, but your daughter-in-law doesn't seem to be keen on managing the company!"

"Take care of my daughter at home, my daughter who was born at the end of last year, your company is developing so well, you don't need her to help, just put high dividends into her account every quarter. ”

Su Mu made a joke, shook hands with them one by one, and then asked, "What are you doing here, retailer party?" Just take me one, Mr. Knight, Mr. Thomas, my Maple Leaf shopping network is not a little to help you sell products." ”

The tone was slightly humorous, which made the two laugh! Except for the brothers and sisters of the Walton family, who had no interests in him, these two companies had business dealings with Su Mu's company, mainly using Maple Leaf Shopping Network to help them sell their products.

Because Wal-Mart is valuable, it can be said that no one in the Walton family is poor, and in 1992, Fortune magazine commented on the Walton family: "Forget Leon, Gates and Buffett, in the United States, it is the Walton family that really has an impact on the American economy and society!"

When Walton Sr. died, he accumulated the world's largest family property, including 48 percent of Wal-Mart's shares, a total of five shares, to his wife and four children, in 1992 Wal-Mart had more than 1,700 supermarket chains around the world, with an annual turnover of more than $45 billion, and now the turnover has successfully exceeded $130 billion, and the number of stores is still expanding wildly.

If it weren't for the fact that the old Walton's wealth was divided, the richest man in the world would have been the Walton family, whose company has more than 600,000 employees, and with this almost terrifying influence, it would be strange not to attend the party tonight.

The three Waltons all know about the Maple Leaf Shopping Network, which is wholly owned by Su Mu, and this website is not yet listed, and Wal-Mart Group has analyzed it as a case.

Jim Walton asked Su Mu half-jokingly and half-seriously at the moment: "Does your shopping site have the idea of accepting financing, I am quite optimistic about it, it feels like it has been moved to a supermarket on the Internet, and it doesn't require much expenditure, and the price of some goods is even cheaper than our Wal-Mart." ”

"I used to start a supermarket chain, which was later bought by Carrefour, and if I had stayed today, it would have grown well, but I don't regret it, and if I hadn't sold it, maybe I wouldn't have started these companies now.

Don't worry, sir, when I decide to go for an IPO, I will definitely be the first to call you and tell you that I haven't had the idea of going public recently, and it's developing quite well......"

As we chatted, Mr. Knight, the founder of Nike, began to complain, he told: "My company has been in some trouble lately, people think that the price of the shoes we make is too high, and they also accuse us of opening sweatshops in Asia, the stock price has fallen a lot recently, and the brand image has also been affected, am I not helping the residents of poor countries to improve their living standards?"

"More than a hundred dollars for a pair of shoes, the price is indeed a bit high, your company came to me to advertise, how is the effect?" Su Mu asked him.

Mr. Knight said helplessly: "It's great, but it seems to be a little too good, and it's because the brand is getting more attention that people pay attention to the fact that the production plant is in Asia." ”

"I can't blame me, maybe you should develop some low-end products to make the product line more complete, Americans like to meddle in things, so expanding the market to developing countries may be able to increase the sales of your company's products."

I also founded a chat program company in Huaxia, as well as a search engine company, otherwise we will help you publicize again? Don't worry, you are an old customer, I will definitely help you get a discount this time!"

After the success in the United States, now Su Mu has extended his hand to Huaxia, the Internet in China in this era is almost blank, there is little competition, and the number of netizens is also small, so it is not possible to talk about success or failure for the time being......
