Super Tycoon

Sega Bandai's Neptune was launched ahead of schedule, and it really worked.

The biggest boost is Neptune's ability to distribute goods in the North American market. Not only can it enter the major game stores, but also the counters of many shopping malls, e-commerce channels, and even direct TV sales.

In particular, many shopping malls did not have sales counters for game products at all before, but this time they were added directly. The best results here are those supermarket channels.

In North America, supermarkets are equivalent to a collection of department stores, fruit and vegetable markets, electrical appliances markets, clothing markets, etc., and are the best retail channels.

Even for the products of Zhiduxing, there are many supermarket channels that have not been able to enter, but this time, the number of channels of Sega Bandai surpassed that of Zhiduxing, and also surpassed the old giants such as Nintendo and Sunny.

And it was Bill Gates who did this. He just made a few phone calls and got it done.

In fact, in many parts of the world, rich people are more willing to make friends with rich people. Everyone has similar identities and can chat better without any embarrassment.

For example, a rich man chats with a poor man. He said that the steak he ate yesterday cost thousands of dollars, but it tasted good. This is unimaginable for the poor. They only need a few dollars, a dozen dollars, or thousands of dollars to buy a cow for steak.

Rich people think it’s normal. I have money, so of course I want to pursue better quality enjoyment, while poor people are still working hard for food and clothing. Even if the rich don't try to show off, it can make the poor feel uncomfortable, and some even feel ashamed.

There is another important reason why rich people make friends with rich people, that is, they can cooperate in many places to make everyone richer together. Or maybe I am in trouble here, poor friends can’t help me, but rich friends can lend me a working capital, or help me guarantee loans, etc.

Bill Gates, as the richest man in the world who has been linked to the village many times, is also friends with the Walton family. They may not be close friends, but at least they are decent.

With its strong sales channels, Neptune is doing better and better in the North American market. Although other markets are a bit worse, the sales forecast for this year will not drop to 10 million units, and they can raise it again.

After Zhang Yang saw Neptune's first week's sales statistics and Neptune's sales channels skyrocketed, he immediately made a decision to fly to New York.

Bill Gates has many friends, but he also has many friends.

For many Chinese, their Chinese identity will have many disadvantages in North America, such as job hunting or election. But for Zhang Yang, his Chinese identity is his advantage.

How many large companies in North America want to enter the Chinese market. If they can make friends with the richest man in China, they will not refuse. Even Bill Gates once invited Zhang Yang to join the Microsoft board of directors. To make friends with Zhang Yang, it is I hope to use Zhang Yang's influence and ability to help Microsoft's products make money in China.

There is no way, the market in Huaxia is huge, and the sales of PCs have been increasing rapidly year after year, but very few people use genuine software, but Huaxia does not care about it.

To explain in the words of future Huaxia netizens, Lafayette has already paid the money in advance.

It's a pity that Zhang Yang rejected Bill Gates at the beginning,

Because this guy still wanted to buy shares in Zhiduoxing Group, and he talked about swapping shares, but at that time Microsoft's market value was hundreds of billions of dollars, so could the ratio of this exchange be the same?

Now that Bill Gates' Microsoft controls Sega Bandai, everyone is a competitor, and it is even less likely that Zhang Yang will become good friends with each other.

But other rich people are still willing to be friends with Zhang Yang.

On the North American side, there is an organization that has a great impact on the retail industry, the American Retail Federation, also known as the American Retail Federation. This alliance is not too binding, but basically all major supermarket chains, convenience stores, shopping malls, etc. will join it.

Every year, the alliance also holds an exhibition to exhibit some things commonly used in the retail industry. For example, new shelves, cash registers, cash register systems, price tags, display cabinets, etc., will also conduct some investment promotion during the exhibition.

And this alliance is mainly based on the board of directors. There are currently more than 60 directors, all of whom are the chairman or CEO of major retailers. Among them, the most influential one is the representative of the Walton family.

And this time, Zhang Yang came to see the youngest of the Walton family, Jim Walton, who is also the president of Wal-Mart.

Yang, it's been a long time since we left last time. It's rare that you took the initiative to ask me out. Jim Walton saw Zhang Yang with a smile on his face.

My business is mainly in China, so I don't have much time to come to the United States. However, there are many Wal-Mart supermarkets in China. If you come to work in Huaxia Parallax, you must contact me.

Wal-Mart Supermarket is the same as in the previous life. Its expansion speed in China is average, far behind Carrefour, and even compared by many retail supermarket groups in China.

Some people say that it is because Wal-Mart’s business philosophy is not suitable for Huaxia for the time being. In other regions, they open their supermarkets in places where urban and rural areas are combined. Because many people in Europe and the United States like to live in the suburbs, which are relatively quiet, so every time they buy something, they will a lot of.

But in China, people prefer to live in the city, and people who live in the suburbs generally don't have much money.

Another is that the brand management is not as good as Carrefour, and the expansion speed is not fast enough. Carrefour has been in contact with Chinese people in Southeast Asia for a long time, and has a better understanding of Chinese people. There are many employees of Chinese descent, and they also know better about how to manage brands in China.   Yang, are you interested in helping us manage Wal-Mart's business in China? There are so many people in China, but the business is not as easy as ours. Jim looked very headache. That's because you don't know Huaxia. I suggest you choose people from Huaxia to manage the business there, at least they are Chinese, and it is more convenient for employees to manage.    I am lazy, and now I have given the position of president to the Others, I don’t have the energy to help you, and I’m not good at retail.”    Even if you join Wal-Mart’s board of directors, how much stock will you get? It is true that this is a very high-quality asset, but Zhang Yang has invested in a lot of high-quality assets, and he can't manage the ones he owns, so he helps others manage them? I came here this time, and I also need your help. Our company is mainly engaged in game products. I hope that the game consoles of Zhiduoxing can enter all sales channels such as supermarkets, stores, and shopping malls. Bill Gates' Sega Bandai You are competing with me.  Zhang Yang directly stated the purpose and reason, and there is nothing to hide, and the other party can easily understand.   I can help recommend other retailers, so what can I get? Jim also asked directly.
