Super Tycoon

Zhang Yang was not afraid that Jim would put forward conditions, but he was afraid that the other party would not say anything. For his wealth and status, favors are more difficult to repay than money.

Of course, the communication between them will definitely not say that I will help you and how much money you will give me, but that you will use your contacts and abilities to help my business go further, which is mutual achievement.

Our Zhiduoxing Group plans to give half-year bonuses to all employees this year, and I think Wal-Mart's shopping cards are good. Several of our subsidiaries and factories are located in cities that happen to have Wal-Mart stores.

One thousand dollars per person. We have more than 30,000 employees. Is this sincerity enough?

Originally, Duan Yongping discussed with Zhang Yang that many companies will send some shopping cards and gift cards to their employees. That said, it's no different than cash.

With sales of more than 30 million US dollars, this is indeed not a small amount.

Yang, since that's the case, why can't these shopping cards be used in the Huaxia market?

Thirty million U.S. dollars can actually bring Wal-Mart hundreds of thousands of U.S. dollars in net profit. Their current annual sales of more than 200 billion U.S. dollars is just a fraction of the money.

However, Wal-Mart's performance in the Chinese market is not very good, not as good as that of Carrefour and other supermarkets. They also need to gain popularity and increase sales in the Chinese market.

If it's only in the Huaxia market, then I will buy a shopping card worth 200 million RMB. At the same time, I will have someone announce on Huaxia's official website that Zhiduoxing Group will issue Walmart shopping cards to employees.

Only then was Jim satisfied: Yang, it was a pleasure chatting with you. I guarantee that within a month, those retailers will contact your North American subsidiary, but many retailers will settle accounts based on sales volume at the end of the month. Can you understand that? ?”

Of course, we don't have too many requirements. It doesn't matter if it is put together with Neptune and other products. I believe consumers will make wise choices.

The two people negotiated a deal very easily, and it didn't cost much to both parties. It took a little effort, but it gave the other party a lot of help.

Zhiduoxing products can have better sales channels in North America, and Wal-Mart can also get better publicity in China.

Yang, in fact, you can go to Li from Xiangjiang for this matter. He is also a member of the board of directors of our alliance, and he is a rare non-American director. I heard that you have many cooperations with his company?

Zhang Yang also considered asking Li Chaoren for help before.

But Li Chaoren's influence in this alliance is not comparable to that of the Walton family.

We have some cooperation, but wouldn't it be good for you and me to chat more?

Of course, I admire you very much. When I was your age, I didn't have your ability. Jim thought that he grew up in a supermarket when he was a child, and worked in supermarkets in his spare time, and accumulated a lot of experience .

Now the chairman of the company is his elder brother, but he has become the president of the company, because the brothers discussed it and felt that he has a stronger learning ability, is younger, and has more energy.

In fact, there are four brothers and sisters, and it doesn't matter who manages the company. After all, when his father passed away, he divided the shares equally among the four brothers and sisters.

In other words, it is not an equal share, but a family joint venture company has been established. This company holds 48% of the shares of Wal-Mart Group. Both brothers and sisters are shareholders, and the proportion of shares is also the same. And when Sam Walton passed away, they avoided hefty estate taxes.

At the same time, because of the education of Sam Walton, the four of them have a good relationship and are very frugal. The eldest son is now the chairman of the company, but the office is only 12 square meters, and the office of Jim, the president, is only 20 square meters.

Many people joke that Wal-Mart is a store opened by the poor and sells goods to the poor, but it cannot conceal the fact that Wal-Mart has been the top 500 company for several years in a row.

And before Zhang Yang was reborn, Wal-Mart was still able to stand at the top of the wealth list, which made many people envious.

But the Walton family is the richest family in the world, isn't it? Their assets are incomparably rich. I want to ask you something. Zhang Yang said suddenly.

I'm okay with retailing, but I may not be able to help with other things. Jim said modestly.

I have a friend who owns a clothing company that does design, production, sales, OEM, etc. How can their sales and profits be improved?

Jim looked at Zhang Yang: It's just the two of us here, the friend you mentioned, can't it be you?

Really not, although I am very optimistic about the future of the clothing industry, but I don't do this, I prefer the IT industry. My main investment is around the IT industry, and I really want to ask friends for advice.

I can give some advice on clothing sales. Do they have a retail store, how big is it? What is the location?

There are clothing stores, the scale is not small, the number is not large, and the geographical location is not bad, mainly concentrated in some states in the east. Zhang Yang replied.

Well, it depends on the characteristics. There are many characteristics, such as fashion, cheapness, durability, etc. Since there is a chain, why not operate the brand?

In terms of brand management, I don't need to give any advice. Zhiduoxing is also very good at this.

What if the brand is not in operation? And they still have many factories, and because of labor unions and other reasons, layoffs are difficult and the expenses are high. How do you deal with labor unions within Wal-Mart? Why are many employees satisfied with Wal-Mart's treatment? , but the employee salary expenditure is not too high?

Jim smiled complacently: This is a strategy formulated by my elder brother, but it involves some of our business skills, so it is inconvenient to disclose. I can only give you a hint, we are one with the employees, the company makes money, and the employees can Make money. The more the company earns, the more employees get, making them think of the company as a big family.

Zhang Yang thought for a while, could it be a floating salary? It seems that it is not too simple to solve the company's problems. That's right, the Lawrence family is also full of talents. If it is really easy to solve it, how could the other party not think of it?

The key is your solution, and it must be acceptable to the employees, otherwise the strike here is not for talk, and many workers will suffer from both sides.

Yang, are you friends with the Lawrence family in Boston?

Zhang Yang was taken aback, he didn't say anything, why did the other party guess all this?

A friend is from the Lawrence family. Zhang Yang could only explain vaguely, and he didn't know how Will's cooperation with the other party was going.
