Even if the government spares no effort to support this plan and it will take more than ten years to see results...... It's just too much trouble. Rather than this, it is better to pay more attention to practical results, anyway, after the establishment of StarCraft, it can't help too much.
In February 1968, after an intense renovation work, Wal-Mart's barcode scanning equipment finally replaced the old charging method, and supermarkets began to support credit card payments.
――No way, because as the number of customers grew, the board of directors, including Catherine, unanimously decided to add barcode devices to the supermarket.
Originally, considering the cost, Catherine and the others did not plan to sacrifice the killer weapon so soon. But the problem is that the increasing traffic has forced them to do so.
Since there are still many manufacturers who do not use barcodes, the board of directors has simply taken a measure: all manufacturers who have adopted barcode packaging can get a preferential purchase price of 5~10.
The price has risen, and those food merchants are naturally happy, after all, Wal-Mart is also the largest supermarket chain in New York State, and its sales are very terrifying every day.
As for other goods, the company can only use the self-labeling method, although it slightly increases labor and costs, but after all, it has increased a lot of efficiency, and the net profit is still growing.
Because of the Celeron computer as the control center to allocate logistics and transportation, the operation efficiency of the supermarket is very high, and Wal-Mart is also famous for being the first supermarket to use computers and the Internet.
The board of directors has decided to let Walmart go public next year, if possible.
After finishing her busy business with the company, Catherine then began to pay attention to Walmart.
But because of Sam. Walton's deposit, Catherine only provided some advice, although she was the chairman, but Catherine spent most of her time playing soy sauce.
Catherine didn't have to worry about Wal-Mart's development, and Wal-Mart also brought considerable profits to Apple, Blizzard and Microsoft.
In Wal-Mart, there is a special computer sales center, as well as a special software sales point, as long as it is not a very professional software, other software is basically available. In addition, there is also a sales center here, and in the sales store, there are also various game stores.
Supermarket traffic has also boosted game sales, and since Walmart built it, they have sold more consoles and computers than the electronics stores on Fifth Avenue in New York State, and the other sporadic locations add up to only 5 — and of course, there are a lot of them.
It was also the opening of the first store, Pù, and the future Wal-Mart empire has finally taken shape now......

“StarCraft……”
After hearing about the formation of such a company by the federal government of the United States and the ARK group, Andropov realized something.
The part of the text he got about ARK was indeed marked with "StarCraft". For example, that strange machine gunner......
Andropov is extremely suspicious that the cooperation between the federal government and the ARK group began long ago - this is obvious, the most obvious example is the Internet.
So there must be some kind of connection between the two
Could it be that these products are the prototypes of StarCraft?
Quite possibly.
Andropov was speculating.
According to KGB intelligence, the Americans, in the face of the Soviet Union, which was gradually reaching its peak, were thinking of a countermeasure.
"Star Wars Project ......"
This is a secret document stolen by a KGB spy who died nine times and then entered the federal government, for which the KGB has buried more than a dozen elite spies.
This plan can be said to be a top secret, and even within the federal government, few people know about it.
Even the people in charge of StarCraft's affairs only knew that the federal government was going to set up a space company, and with the help of this space company, people would open up their passion for space and develop space technology based on it - but this was all fake.
The real situation is that the Americans are ready to create a space rapid reaction force based on a lunar base.
The KGB knew that the Americans had a program for an aerospace carrier before that, based on nuclear fusion, to implement an aerospace carrier. But after twenty years of the project, it was forced to terminate - not for other reasons. There is only one problem, and that is that fusion reactors are really difficult to control.
But what if the base is in outer space?
For the Soviet Union, which had already achieved manned space flights, they had already demonstrated that it was feasible. And if it is a small rapid reaction force, it is also very suitable for global combat and rescue missions.
If they suddenly entered the USSR from outer space, then decapitation tactics were applied to the leaders......
It's chilling just to think about, and it's hard to guard against because it's from outer space to Earth......
"Star Wars Project ......"
After muttering again, Andropov helped his glasses.
As a shrewd man, Andropov knew very well that the Americans were really prepared to carry out such a plan, and not to fool it. It's a top-secret document, and only a few people at the core know what the hell is going on.
If the Americans were to publicize the Star Wars program with great fanfare, Andropov would not hesitate to think that they were trying to fool the Soviet Union and let it enter the meaningless space race. Even if this confidential document were easily stolen, Andropov would have the same idea.
But the problem now is that this article is strictly guarded, and if it weren't for a few comrades who touched the vine by chance, this matter would not have been found out at all. Even now, the Soviet intelligence network in the United States has suffered a considerable blow.
"Bring me the information you got from ARK."
Andropov instructed his subordinates, and soon a large stack of information was placed on Andropov's desk. These texts have already been analyzed by Soviet experts. Although a lot of intelligence is rated as "unrealistic", such as "dive carriers" and "Crucio tanks", they still have high application value.
Diving carriers were not of much use to the USSR, but not to the Americans, which were simply like "artifacts" for the United States, which had a powerful navy.
Andropov paid more attention to the "smashing tank" (Crucio means smashing) named "Crucio". This Crucio tank can not only be used for propulsion, but even more terrifying is the tank's ability to fight positional warfare. And because it is a double artillery relationship, if it is assembled into an army, it can even overshadow the Soviet Union's steel torrent in terms of firepower......
It's horrible.
It is likely that this information was something that the federal government had discussed with the ARK group before this, but it was stored in Catherine's office.
Could it be that the Soviet Union had only a nuclear deterrent to compete with the United States?
Andropov was worried about the future of the Soviet Union, and without conventional means of warfare, the Soviet Union would be a polar bear that had lost two sharp claws in front of the United States.
The only option for the Soviet Union was to die with the other side......
However, Andropov also quickly thought of the plan for the space carrier that the Americans once had.
Will the Americans give up halfway?
Andropov felt that this was very likely.
The U.S. system made it difficult for their program to last as long as the Soviet Union did.
"That's a real problem......
Andropov shook his head, and then he picked up a copy of the previous document again-
BT01, of all the texts in the stolen ARK group's database, was the most detailed, and Andropov also believed that such a large thing was more in line with the needs of the Soviet Union than a complicated machine gunner.
The most important thing is that because it is large and integral, the requirements for craftsmanship are definitely not high, and if the outside is in the form of fur, a tin can wrapped in the fur of a polar bear is much stronger than the American Rausch "machine gunner", but the relative design difficulty and application cost are relatively low, which is very suitable for the Soviet Union.
Maybe one such plan should be studied?
Andropov had such an opinion.
This is the way to fight the "machine gunners".
That...... And what if it was against that kind of Crucio tank? Andropov felt that this should be left to the experts to study carefully.
And then he wondered, what would Comrade Brezhnev do?
Although he may seem ambitious now, there is no doubt that he is in fact a mediocrity, a mediocrity who is detached from the speech and does not even know what he should say.
For a moment, Andropov was worried about the future of the Soviet Union, but he shook his head and forced himself to forget about the idea.
After the turmoil of the Khrushchev period, what the Soviet Union needed was stability.
What Andropov does not know now is that under the leadership of Boehl, the Soviet Union will move from stability to death, not glory......
