June [-], Los Angeles International Airport.Although the Iraq War has started, and the United States is now on high alert to prevent terrorists from carrying out terrorist activities, the airport is still crowded with people.

Fang Mingyuan and his entourage got off the plane. At the airport, there was already a convoy waiting for them. After refueling, the business jet was about to embark on its journey back to Huaxia.

Yu Rui's time to come out is limited, and there are still many things in the TV station that she needs to rush back to deal with, and Yu Weiguo and his wife have been out for more than half a year, and the family of three are eager to return home.Therefore, they have no intention of staying in the United States at all.

The convoy quickly left the airport and headed towards Hollywood.

"Fang, welcome home!" Uda Guangli, who was dressed up, put her arms around Fang Mingyuan's arm and said affectionately.A sudden epidemic made Uda Mitsuri unable to go to China and Japan, and the two could only communicate through video and phone calls. After such a long time, Uda Mitsuri's longing for Mingyuan is really amazing. Just like the water of the Yangtze River is surging.

Fang Mingyuan kissed Uda Guangli lightly on the face, patted her hand and said, "I will stay in the United States for a while to accompany you well."

"Really?" Uda Mitsuri exclaimed in surprise.Under normal circumstances, Fang Mingyuan spent more time except in Hong Kong and Tongyi.In other places, most of them come and go in a hurry.And she happened to be filming "Terminator 3" during this period of time. Although the first episode of "Harry Potter" has not been filmed, the scene about her has ended, and when the new film has not been arranged, the time is very short. ample.

Fang Mingyuan reached out and hugged Uda Guangli to his lap, twisted Uda Guangli's tender cheeks, and said with a chuckle, "Why should I lie to you? Of course it's true."

Uda Guangli hugged Fang Mingyuan's head. If Fang Mingyuan hadn't hugged her, she would have jumped up happily.

"Maybe I need to go to Brazil in the middle. You go with me. OK?" Fang Mingyuan said softly.The negotiation to acquire the supermarket from Ahold International Group is still going on, but Fang Mingyuan believes that Balck will give in soon.According to the news from Europe, the current situation of Ahold International Group Company is very bad.Funds are urgently needed to stabilize shareholders.

Although Fang Mingyuan had raised the purchase price to 5000 million US dollars.Balck also lowered its asking price.But there was still a $[-] million difference between the bids.During this period, Balck also threatened to contact Wal-Mart and Carefour, but this did not change Fang Mingyuan's determination - [-] million US dollars was his final offer.

And the reason.Fang Mingyuan was able to be so confident because news came from the United States and Europe, because Carefour's performance in Europe had declined significantly in the past two years, and Wal-Mart intended to acquire Carefour.Although both Wal-Mart and Carefour are noncommittal about this "rumor", it is not difficult to see from the small actions of their respective companies that this matter is not groundless.

In fact, from Fang Mingyuan's point of view, it is reasonable for Wal-Mart to want to annex Carefour.

Wal-Mart is a well-deserved leader in the global retail industry. Although Carefour is ranked second, compared with Wal-Mart’s performance, Carefour’s performance is only one-fifth to one-fourth of Wal-Mart. It can be said that there is a difference between the two The gap between them is huge. Even if Carefour and Ahold International Group are combined, their performance does not exceed half of that of Wal-Mart.Therefore, Wal-Mart has full financial resources to acquire Carefour.

And Wal-Mart also has this motivation. Carefour is the second largest retailer in the world and the largest in Europe. It not only occupies a considerable market share in Europe, but also occupies a good market share in Asia and Latin America.If Wal-Mart can successfully acquire Carefour, it will not only further widen the gap with competitors such as Ahold International Group, ensure its leading position in the retail industry, but also rapidly expand its presence in Asia and Latin America. Market shares by countries in the Americas.Of course, the most important thing is that Wal-Mart can take this opportunity to successfully enter the European retail market!

Europe and the United States are undoubtedly the two most mature and profitable markets in the world. Wal-Mart has long coveted the European market, but just as Carefour did not dare to enter the American market easily, Wal-Mart also did not dare to enter the American market. Easy access to Europe.Fighting in the homeland of an extremely powerful opponent is so risky that any world-renowned president will hesitate again and again.

Moreover, this time, the carefour company itself had some problems. Not only did the company's performance decline significantly, but there was also discordant news from its board of directors.Just in March of this year, after an important person in the Harley family, the largest shareholder of Carefour, died in a plane crash, there were some differences within the Harley family on how to manage the shares of Carefour—whether to continue to participate in the affairs of Carefour or Family members are divided on cashing in on its shares.It is very likely that the Harley family will no longer hold shares as a whole, which means that members of the Harley family can freely sell their shares in carefour according to their own wishes.And the Harley family holds more than 17.00% of the shares in carefour!Even if the Carefour Company cannot be acquired, it is possible to obtain part of the Carefour Company's equity.To create conditions for taking over Carefour in the future, it is naturally impossible for Wal-Mart to let go of such an opportunity.

When he heard the news, even Fang Mingyuan himself was very tempted. It is the second largest retail company in the world and the number one in Europe, with an annual sales volume exceeding tens of billions of dollars!There are hundreds of stores in all countries in the world, and the influence cannot be underestimated as a giant multinational enterprise.

However, Fang Mingyuan was just thinking about it. The "rumor" that Wal-Mart intends to acquire the carefour company appeared almost every few years in his previous life.But neither was successful.Fang Mingyuan didn't think Wal-Mart would be able to succeed this time either.And even if he can successfully obtain the shares of Carefour Company from the members of the Harley family.But if you can't get enough equity, you can't even join the board of directors of Carefour, let alone exert influence.

But this matter can greatly distract Wal-Mart's attention.In addition, Carrefour Group is also competing with Wal-Mart for Seiyu Department Store in Japan.Balk wanted to get Wal-Mart and Carefour into the fray.Easier said than done!

Therefore, he has time to come to the United States and pay attention to Schwarzenegger's California governor's campaign.

Beverly Hills.This name is still relatively unfamiliar to Chinese people, and at first glance, it sounds like it refers to a manor.But in fact, Beverly Hills, located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean and at the foot of Beverly Hills, is a small city with an area of ​​less than 4 square kilometers and a permanent population of no more than [-].It's just that although the sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs. There is an elected mayor, a city government, a police station, a fire department, and many other functional departments.

This is the most famous city within a city in Los Angeles, with well-developed transportation. Whether it is going to the downtown area of ​​Los Angeles, the convention center, the international airport, or the main business or entertainment places such as Hollywood and Disney theme parks, it is generally guaranteed to arrive within an hour.Here is the title of "the most noble residential area in the world", and it is also the place where Hollywood movie stars, music stars, NBA basketball stars, and chaebols from all over the world gather together.Those names that make the world famous--Michael Jackson, Brad Pitt, Kung Fu movie superstar Cheng Long, former US President Ronald Reagan...all spend a lot of money to buy luxury houses here.

There are no slums here, and although the resident population is only 4, the number of tourists, shoppers and migrant workers is often five or six times that number, so there are not many people here.Moreover, although the area of ​​Beverly Hills is not large, it has the famous commercial district of Los Angeles, where there are banks, commercial buildings, shopping centers, jewelry stores, antique stores, fashion brand stores and restaurants.Every year, the gross national product of Beverly Hills can reach more than 200 billion US dollars!This figure is quite staggering even in the United States.At the same time, Fang Mingyuan was very envious. It would be great if Tongyi could also achieve such a profit rate.

Uda Mitsuri’s residence in Los Angeles is here. In 500, when the Southeast Asian financial crisis developed into a global financial crisis, the house was located on the hillside of Beverly Hills, overlooking the famous Sunset Boulevard. The mansion with a construction area of ​​more than 4000 square meters and an area of ​​more than [-] square meters was bought by her at a price of almost [-] million U.S. dollars.As the most famous Asian actress in Hollywood, Fang and Cameron's queen actress, Mitsuri Uda has also entered the ranks of first-line actresses in Hollywood.Those companies that want to open up the Japanese and Asian markets are very fond of Uda Mitsuri.

"Mingyuan, that's the business district of Beverly Hills." Uda Guangli snuggled into Fang Mingyuan's arms and pointed out the window.

"Well, I know, Wilshire Avenue." Fang Mingyuan smiled lightly. He has been here once. Although he didn't stay for a long time, he still has some impressions.

"Let's go home first. After you bought it, you haven't been here yet. Then you invite me to the Japanese restaurant here for dinner, okay?" Uda Guangli breathed out, "It's very uncomfortable to come alone. mean."

Fang Mingyuan patted Uda Guangli on the cheek, and said with a smile: "Of course there is no problem. Everything is under your arrangement today." (To be continued...)
