494 【From Prince to Beggar】

In the United States, you can’t know who the US president is, but you can’t ignore who Walmart is?

No, to be precise, Walmart is not a human, but a supermarket chain. The reason why every American knows it is because it is everywhere in the United States.

According to Song Zhichao's statistics, it is now 1992. The total number of Walmart supermarkets and Walmart department stores in the United States has reached 1,200 in fifty states. That is to say, in almost fifty states, each state will have at least 24 Walmart supermarkets or department stores.

Of course, this is not the main reason why Song Zhichao chose Walmart. The main reason is that Walmart’s purchase channels are different from many department stores - it tries every means to save money from the purchase channels. Therefore, Walmart is the best choice to help VCDs perform “direct sales”!

Since Song Zhichao has locked in Walmart, he will have to negotiate with the person in charge of Walmart. After inquiring, he found out that there is a change within the Walmart group, which makes them have no time to take care of it.

It turned out that the Walmart Group was founded by Mr. Sam Walton, and it can be said that he started from scratch and founded such a huge company.

For this reason, Sam was also worried about the inheritance of his family members. However, things didn't go as expected. His son, who was the most qualified to inherit the position of Chairman of Sam Group, died with his wife during a flight accident.

Sam Walton was so sad that he was too sad. The white-haired man gave him a black-haired man. This accident had a great blow to him. In just a few days, the old Sam, who was originally energetic, seemed to be aged several decades.

Originally, she never came late to work, and she liked to hold morning meetings the most, even absent from the meeting for three consecutive months.

After finally experiencing this difficult time, Old Sam also felt happy, and expressed his love and work. In addition, he took good care of the gift his son left to him - dear grandson Jack.

Because Old Sam favored Jack so much that Sam was almost carefree when he was a teenager - to be precise, he spent his time in the world of flowers and wine.

At that time, Jack could be said to be the "prince" of the American world, with countless luxury cars - even the global limited edition Phantom Rolls-Royce had three, black, white and red. The entry and exit were either helicopters to pick him up or group of bodyguards. Because Sam's strict protection for him made many people not know what this mysterious Jack Walton looked like.

Growing up in such a superior and luxurious environment, Jack had no idea of ​​the sufferings of the world, nor did he know how much effort his ancestors had put into building the Walmart Empire.

Jack almost lives a yacht and a party, inviting relatives and friends to enjoy the most expensive food and wine, and give them the most expensive gifts - when Jack was eighteen years old, he gave eight friends one Ferrari worth millions in one breath.

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

However, gradually, the extravagant life brought Jack no longer satisfaction, but emptiness.

At this time, someone told him a secret, saying that his father and mother didn't have to fly to the UK on a business trip that day, but his grandfather, Sam, forced them to leave immediately.

This so-called secret deeply stimulated Jack.

He found Old Sam and questioned him.

I thought Old Sam would refute and refuse to admit this.

But unexpectedly-

Old Sam admitted it, and he said to Jack with remorse, "It's my fault, God, I killed my son and your parents--if I didn't order them to go to England."

Old Sam's words directly caused Jack's mind to collapse.

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

My grandfather loved me so much was actually the murderer who killed my parents.

So, in the following time, Jack began to drink, suck DU, and began to fall into depravity - he believed that his parents' death was caused by his grandfather Sam Walton.

Old Samby knew what happened to his baby grandson, how could he become degenerate like this? So he forced him to quit DU, and slapped him in the face to make him sober and told Jack: "If you continue to corruption like this, I will remove you from the inheritance of the Walton family!"

That is what this sentence completely stimulated Jack. 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, and I can do it too! - Yes, I will prove that I'm stronger than you!"

Just after that quarrel, Jack left home angrily and started his own business or wandering life.

Three years, three years.

Jack suddenly turned from a prince with luxury and food outside to a beggar with no skills.

He suffered a lot, worked odd jobs in supermarkets, worked as porters for department stores, earned money to pay rent, and continued to surpass Sam Walton himself and became a "department store tycoon" and "king of supermarkets".

But reality is cruel.

To this day, he has accomplished nothing.

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

That night, Jack, who learned the news, hid alone in the narrow and wet rental house and cried to death.

After experiencing so much, Jack understood the difficulties of his grandfather starting a business back then, and also knew how aggrieved he felt when he lost his son.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Old Sam never saw his grandson until his death.

Jack felt that he had done something big wrong. Unfortunately, it was too late to regret it. It was probably that he had already been removed from the family by his grandfather. He could have inherited the Walmart Empire and was no longer a member of the Walton family.

Jack was even more shameless to go home.

But when grandpa was having funeral, he looked quietly in the distance for a few glances, then turned around and burst into tears.

...

After listening to the story told by Song Zhichao, Jack smiled, a little miserable. "So after you found out about my story, you deliberately got an invitation letter and gave it to Martha, asking me to come here? You know I urgently need success and need to prove myself with success, so I will definitely come here to see you, right?"

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

"You are really not humble." Jack shook his head, "I admit that everything you have calculated is very accurate - under your calculations, I came happily with the invitation letter that I thought the stuffed cakes fell from the sky, and saw you, but-" paused for a moment, revealing a hint of sarcasm: "Now I am similar to a beggar, how can I help you? You, dear Song, I made a mistake this time!"

The reason is that Song Zhichao will be very angry when he hears this. Unexpectedly, he just smiles slightly and asks, "Who told you that you are a beggar?"

Jack: "…"

"Do you know who told me your story?"

Jack: "…"
