Start with a Cat and Mouse Game

Chapter 1246: really bad

"Anne was baptized in Westminster, and of course your children will follow the tradition and return to London."

After Philip finished speaking, Li Changheng curled his lips indifferently, and immediately said amusedly, "You have forced the archbishop to retire many years in advance, don't hold on to a little contradiction, it will arouse the resentment and fear of many people.

And if Angela receives the gift in London, I can also make her a baroness for life, which is also good for you to become a hereditary duke. "

Li Changheng had to get serious this time. There were indeed many people in the major European royal families who did not want their offspring to inherit the title of nobility, but the reason was not just to provide their children with an ordinary growth environment.

Rather, it is because of the title that one has to fulfill the obligations of the royal family.

Attending various social, charitable and public affairs, but not getting any benefits, and even setting the salary above the average line, will attract attacks from countless jealous people.

Most people really don't want to do such a thankless thing.

But my own children are different.

If you don't have to worry about money for a few lifetimes, your status, influence, and social environment will become more important.

Philip may have guessed that Li Changheng is not satisfied with the baroness for life, "Angela has just been born, and it will be easier for her to rise step by step if she gets the title first.

Besides, the most important thing now is to settle your hereditary duke status first. "

Only then did Li Changheng nod, "Have you ever heard of a supermarket, or a hypermarket?"

Philip's heart tightened, and he understood that this news was Li Changheng's reward.

Seeing Philip nodding with a serious expression, Li Changheng couldn't help but say with some amusement, "To a large extent, the supermarket model is equivalent to integrating retail stores and wholesale markets.

While saving labor costs, the huge purchase volume is used to reduce the purchase cost as much as possible.

In other words, before the store is saturated, the more supermarkets there are, the lower the retail price will be.

If you select a few products every week and use the absolute cost price to discount and promote to attract customers, it will not only attract more people into the supermarket, but also drive the sales of other products. The sales model will definitely take away the street retail stores, convenience shop market.

In the next few decades, I believe that franchised or self-operated supermarkets will definitely have at least five Fortune 500 companies.

Even taking the lead in robbing the market of a certain country may create the richest man in that country. "

After hearing this, Philip began to breathe heavily. No one would doubt Li Changheng's judgment, not to mention that Philip himself relied on Li Changheng's judgment on gold, and he has made a lot of money these years.

But after Philip thought about it, he still asked, "I'm not doubting you, I'm just curious, since you are so optimistic, why don't you enter this industry yourself?

And I believe that as long as you are willing, there are plenty of supermarkets in the United States who are willing to cooperate with you and use shares to lure you into the business. "

Li Changheng curled his lips, "Supermarkets are really troublesome, Sam Walker's Wal-Mart only has 40 stores at this time.

It has already forced Walker to fly around in a propeller plane every week to understand the sales situation of each store and deal with the problems encountered.

I don't have as much energy as him, and I don't want to spend all my time on one company.

Besides, what I hate the most is management, but Annie is already helping me manage Panda Restaurant, and handing over to her a company that is sure to expand to a thousand, or even thousands.

Don't talk about taking care of me and the children in the future, Anne doesn't have time to have a few more babies.

Instead of this, it is better to focus on other businesses. "

This reason immediately made Philip speechless.

Others can't find a goal that they can spend their whole life striving for, and they lament that they were born at the wrong time, or that they have no use for their talents.

But Li Changheng is too lazy to do it, this really makes people feel that Li Changheng is indebted.

Philip couldn't help sighing, and joked with a smile, "Has anyone ever told you that you really deserve a beating sometimes?"

Li Changheng smiled and shrugged, "Anyway, no one beat me. Besides, what I have in mind is a business that is more profitable than a supermarket."

Li Changheng actually lied about this.

I don't want to manage, and I don't want to be restricted by trivial matters, so why can't I become a shareholder?

But he is smart, and others are not stupid.

Wal-Mart was short of funds in the early stage, but after it had more than 10 self-operated stores, because it purchased directly from factories, the products sold in supermarkets were actually 30% cheaper than convenience stores.

In an instant, countless customers came to the door.

At this time, the biggest problem facing Sam Walker is not the funds used for expansion, but how to manage it, how to reduce inventory, how to reduce loss during sales, and even where the goods are placed and the consumption habits of customers are the targets of research. .

In this way, it is really a test of the boss's ability to keep expanding the market regardless of the market value.

In addition, Sam Walker is very attached to shares, and he is afraid that his company will be swallowed up by bankers such as Wall Street, so that Li Changheng has been paying attention to Wal-Mart a few years ago, but he has never found an opportunity to buy shares.

Instead of investing in his supermarket brand, it is really better to focus on computers, game consoles, software and other projects that will rise soon.

With Philip settled, life calmed down again.

But when the outside world heard the news that HL Media was about to build a theme park bigger than Disneyland, most of the media's first thought was that this must be Li Changheng's idea.

And it was built for Angela.

Before Disney could take countermeasures, a bigger crisis emerged.

Because Li Changheng stayed at home and had a lot of free time during the day, he suddenly thought of cartoons, so he drew cats and mice.

Afterwards, it has been renamed as the management of Angela Entertainment Company ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ found more than 20 animation production personnel, worked overtime and spent three days to produce a 10-minute short film, which was published on the public channel of HL Media After playing it out.

The media and the outside world learned that the source of inspiration was Li Changheng, and it soon attracted the attention of countless people.

Before the new episode of Tom and Jerry was produced, so many calls were made to HL Media TV that the TV station had to rebroadcast, rebroadcast, and rebroadcast the episode.

Disney, which survives on Mickey Mouse and cartoons, quickly lost at least 10% of its market value.

As for Angela Entertainment Company, once again touted by Wall Street and Hollywood, its market value must have risen a lot, but the most enviable and speechless thing is.

For the sake of Angela, Li Changheng put aside his company work to draw cartoons, which is reasonable, after all, this is the first child.

But this kind of casual action can actually help HL Media expand the market and ratings, which makes many people feel helpless and powerless.
