Robson Walton hung up Barron Sr. and stared at the phone number he had written down for a moment. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he did not rush to dial the phone number of Zhou You, but thought about what he wanted to say for a while in his heart, and pressed the pager on the desktop. "Bart, you can help me arrange a route to Los Angeles."

This office of only 12 square meters is not conspicuous in the entire office area of Wal-Mart, and it does not fit his identity as the head of the 100 billion empire at all, but this is indeed his office. It wasn't even crowded enough for him to put a bookshelf, but Robson felt that the cramped environment allowed him to concentrate his thoughts.

The Walton family's frugality has a deep family tradition, and Robson was not born rich, but he personally experienced his parents go from having nothing to being the richest man in the United States.

For Robson, the great fortune did not bring him any happiness, and he enjoyed the journey that led the Walton family to greater glory than material comforts.

Wal-Mart has always been very smooth, but the development of technology has brought about huge changes, the emergence of the Internet will eventually change people's lives, and Wal-Mart is also facing an unprecedented crisis.

Benefiting from Wal-Mart's community cohesion in the United States, Internet shopping has not affected Wal-Mart's performance, and neither Yibai nor Amazon can touch Wal-Mart's foundation.

But the emergence of Tmall has made all the leaders of Walmart feel the coming crisis.

They all know very well that the mainland is not the United States, and the rapid development of Tmall in the mainland is mainly because the business in the mainland is still relatively backward and concentrated, and there are too many intermediate links in them, which greatly increases the cost, so the low price of Tmall directly changes the business model in the mainland.

However, the business environment in the United States has developed very maturely, so even if this model appears in the United States, it will not have a fundamental impact on Wal-Mart because of the lack of shopping experience and the lack of price difference.

However, now that this new business model has emerged, it will definitely affect the development of Wal-Mart, which is not only an American company, but a global company.

Labor in the United States is expensive, but there are many countries where labor is very cheap, and the emergence of e-commerce will deal a fatal blow to Wal-Mart's commercial sales in the world.

If Walmart doesn't want to be defeated, it has to change now.

It is not difficult for Walmart to replicate the success of Tmall, because Walmart has a more mature logistics network than Tmall. However, how to find a balance between physical and online stores is something that the company's strategy department has been grappling with lately.

More importantly, Walmart can't afford to watch a company that threaten their position appear, but Evan Zhou is a tough guy to deal with.

When he was still weak, he was able to gather all forces and balance the situation, so that Pfizer did not take any advantage in front of him. Just because of the battle of words, he dared to directly kill the direct members of Indonesia's largest family, and finally ended in his victory.

Killed nearly 300 pirates twice, which is even more chilling in the bottom of the heart, and the killing of chickens and monkeys in Colombia, for a little factor that can affect his business layout, he can directly eliminate a gang of the Black Society, leaving no one alive.

If it was only brutal, he was not difficult to deal with, but what frightened him was his business vision and execution methods. He is only 24 years old this year, but he has become a world-class billionaire. What's even more impressive is that as long as he is a partner, no one has ever been disappointed, because he has always been able to help with collaborative projects.

Being able to do irreplaceable in different fields and industries is something that even Robson himself thinks he can't do.

Therefore, this person can only befriend well, not evil, so there is not much left for Wal-Mart to go, that is, cooperation.

But how to cooperate will have to wait for Robson to talk to Zhou You in person before it can be decided.

Getting on the bus to the airport, Robson dialed Zhou You's phone, and the two sides didn't go into detail on the phone, just greeted each other, and then Robson invited Zhou You to have dinner at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills in the evening, and Zhou You happily accepted the invitation.

Bentonville is a very small city located in the northwest corner of Arkansas, and it became famous for being the headquarters of Wal-Mart.

Although the city is small, Bentonville is located at the northernmost point of the urban agglomeration in the northwest corner of Arkansas, so the cities share a large airport.

Everything about the Waltons is low-key and frugal, except when it comes to business jets, which are very extravagant, because it is the necessities of the job. Whether it is a family member or the management of a company, they need to fly around the world, so airplanes are also an indispensable means of transportation.

Three hours later, the plane landed at Los Angeles' Long Beach Airport, where a Los Angeles branch car picked up Robson and his assistant Bart and took them to Beverly Hills, a northern suburb of the city.

Without Robson's instructions, Bart took out his credit card and paid for the reserved standard business room. It's a normal double room, and the room rate is only eighty dollars, and it's still two people living together.

Putting his luggage in his room, Robson instructed, "I'm a little anxious, it's not lunch time here in Los Angeles, we can just go to the branch to have a look......"

Bart shrugged his shoulders and said playfully, "By the way, I can also have lunch at the branch." ”

Robson laughed too, "Hopefully the branch lunch won't be too bad." ”

When Robson arrived in Los Angeles, Zhou You was still working as his top five dad. In a corner of Studio 12 at Universal Pictures, Zhou You is holding his child and communicating with screenwriter Trilucio about the character's identity.

Zhongyuan is a very good child, as long as he is not hungry, he will not cry or make trouble. Staying in Zhou You's arms, he struggled with his fingers, and his saliva flowed a lot.

"Howling Wind's father originally left the position of Pirate King to his uncle, but Howling Wind was not convinced, and finally killed his uncle and robbed him of the Pirate King's position......"

"No, no, we Chinese don't have the custom of passing on positions to brothers in desert peoples. In ancient China, there was a great deal of emphasis on the distinction between orthodox heirs and descendants, and only sons would be orthodox heirs. Therefore, you can design a brother for Howling Wind, although Howling Wind is stronger, but because of its Western blood, it can't become an orthodox heir, and because of this, Howling Wind will be separated. Then, after learning sorcery, Howling Wind came back to kill his brother and his powerful uncle and became the Pirate King of Singapore. ”

"OK, you know this better than I do. Then, the plot of the nautical chart can still be placed in Uncle Howling Wind's grave, and this does not need to be changed. The question now is whether to simply narrate the plot of Howling Wind's growth in the movie, or to recompile a prequel with this plot, which we have to consider in a unified manner. ”

Zhou You thought for a while and said: "Let's keep it simple first, if the response to the third part is good, maybe I will consider playing the prequel." Life is too dull, and acting in movies is also a pleasure, isn't it? ”

Trilucio smiled, not knowing how to answer. And only the rich man who travels around will not care about money, but just regard it as a kind of fun.

Zhou You suddenly remembered and said, "I almost forgot, Sam and Mahan also want to play a role in this movie, Sam can be set up as my right-hand man, and Mahan can be set up as my brother who was killed by me, and as for Barton, he can also play the role of a pirate." ”

Trilucio asked, "Are those of your best friends?" They are willing to act, and I think Mr. Bruckheimer must be very happy, you know, they are big stars in America now. ”

Indeed, Liang Hao is in a mess now, because this year, Liang Hao weighed 75 kilograms, directly from the welterweight class to the middleweight competition level, which is a cross-level competition, so Liang Hao suddenly became popular.

Americans are very restrictive because the rules are too restrictive, so they are very much in favor of individual heroism. Otherwise, Superman, Spider-Man, and Batman would not be so popular in the United States.

Liang Hao is very in line with the psychological needs of the public, he is not strong, but he is extremely flexible, and although he is not very handsome, he is very masculine and has a cool face. In addition, the Fertitta brothers were ready to promote him as a star-level fighter, so he quickly became a star that thousands of boxing fans and UFC fans loved very much.

If a few of them appear in this movie, it will be very helpful to promote their popularity, and a few of them make money, and they all have a copy of Zhou You, and Zhou You is certainly willing to help them.

At this time, Paris came over in a costume, and before the person arrived, she complained coquettishly: "Honey, today's shooting is really hard, I hate hanging Weiya." ”

"You hate practicing even more, so you have to hang Weiya." Zhou You didn't feel the slightest distress, she practiced at about the same time as Gracia, Gracia is now a martial arts master, and she is still in the realm of failing.

Paris grinned and pinched Zhongyuan's little nose, the little guy was pinched and hurt, and couldn't help crying, but Paris smiled proudly. She is quite similar to what Gracia learned, she is an unreliable mother.

"Honey, are you ready for lunch? I am hungry. ”

Trilucio picked up the script and said, "Mr. Zhou, then I won't bother you, and we'll continue to discuss the role in the afternoon." ”

"Not this afternoon, you can also refine the plot we have already determined, and we will continue to discuss the rest tomorrow, how about it?"

"Of course, I'm here for you."

When he left, Paris couldn't help but grin, "I've never seen a bigger actor than you, and everyone almost revolves around you." ”

Zhou You said proudly: "That's because my appeal is stronger than any actor, and Bruckheimer now receives $100 million in sponsorship, which is almost half the cost of the third part." ”

Because it is preparing for two consecutive shots, many shots and scenes can be shared, so the production cost of the two movies will be greatly reduced, although Disney claims to be 400 million shooting costs, but everyone knows that there is more than half of the bubble in it, and the two movies are shot together, and 300 million will not be used. Of course, when the film is released, the publicity fee will also cost a lot of money.

When Paris fed Nakahara, the assistants also pushed a food truck over. This is a meal ordered by Zhou You at a Chinese restaurant in Universal Studios, five meats and four vegetables, and a soup, enough for six or seven of them to have a full meal.

After lunch, Zhou You called Sanchez, left the child to the assistants, and went straight to the villa.

"Have you gathered the information?"

"Yes, not only Walmart's investment statements for the last ten years, but also detailed resumes and personality analysis of each important person."

"What kind of person is Robson?"

Sanchez, who was driving the car, thought for a moment before saying: "Personally, I think he is a traditional entrepreneur, a rich man among the poor. ”

Zhou You couldn't help but laugh out loud and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Because he really doesn't look like a rich man, he drives a Ford pickup truck from '98, which is not even worth 3,000 dollars now. His father was frugal all his life, and he was just like his father, you can't believe it, his office is only 12 square meters, and it is not as big as the bathroom in your office. ”

Zhou You couldn't help but joke: "Are you saying I'm too extravagant?" ”

Sanchez smiled embarrassedly and said: "Of course not, even my office is two inside and outside, more than fifty square meters, and I am just an assistant." You can't believe it, he arrived in Los Angeles two hours ago and stayed at the Hilton, but he and his assistant only opened a room for $80 a night. ”

Zhou You paused for a moment and asked, "Just a room?" ”

Sanchez nodded in certainty. "Yes."

Zhou You was really convinced, and sighed: "Everyone pursues different things, maybe he really didn't take those wealth into his eyes." But this is good news for me, because since he is not a person who cares about money, he will definitely care about the development of Wal-Mart, so the chips in our hands are even more important. ”

Sanchez couldn't help but ask, "Boss, how do you want to work with Walmart?" ”

Zhou You smiled: "I think Wal-Mart's stock is not bad, of course, they definitely want our Tmall stock too, so it is a good idea to exchange shares." ”

"In the short term, the deal is good for us, but in the long term, the deal seems to be better for Walmart," Sanchez said. ”

Zhou You nodded and said, "Your judgment is correct, but do you think I still need to care about money now?" What I need is influence, so this deal is very beneficial for me personally. ”

Sanchez understood this time, nodded and said: "Yes, if you become a major shareholder of Walmart, it will greatly promote your personal reputation." ”
