Chapter 1528 SOS Group Crisis
Han Xuan had long known that his body was different from ordinary people. Whether it was jogging with Anya in the morning or her father in the morning, they were so tired that they were out of breath, but they didn't feel the pressure.
I have never really tried my best to run long-distance running, so I don’t know where the limit is. I am surprisingly good at physical strength, so running a marathon should not be a problem.
If I had not been reincarnated in such a good family, with this kind of physical fitness, I believe that even if I go out to move bricks, I would not starve to death.
It should be the next semester that Secretary Dawson asks someone to help find a professional coaching team. There should be no need to rush to exercise for the time being. He is still in a critical period of physical fitness. Excessive exercise will have a counterproductive effect. The physical education teacher Mr. Andra only asked him to practice more exercise skills that he needs to master.
Participating in the Olympics is a burden for others. The reason is that physical exercise costs a lot, including equipment, coaches, food, clothing, housing and transportation, all of which have to be borne by the athletes themselves. Even if they win medals, the US government will not give any material rewards. At most, it is just going to the White House to act like a show and accept the awards while meeting Clinton.
Whether you can become famous after winning the award and whether you can bring material benefits to yourself depends entirely on your ability. It is also very important to operate afterwards. However, those sports goods merchants are often more optimistic about stars such as football, basketball, boxing, and champions of ordinary competitions. It is not easy to become famous.
This economic influence has been affected by society, resulting in the sports that are prone to becoming famous and making money, which are more popular among young people.
Others may think that going to the White House to meet President Clinton is a kind of glory. Han Xuan doesn't think so. He even sat in the chair in the president's office once.
For him, there was nothing strange about the white office building with simple decoration and no distinctive features. If there was no particularly important thing, I wouldn't be too lazy to go there.
The reason why I agreed to the invitation of the US Olympic Organizing Committee was because of my personal interest. The opportunity to participate in the arena that represents the world's most advanced sports competition is now in front of Han Xuan. It's impossible. But my physical condition completely allows it, so of course I have to give it a try.
Compared with other events, Han Xuan is more confident in swimming events. He usually calls himself "the little white strip of the waves" to his parents. When testing the 200-meter personal medley, he swam a good result of one minute and fifty-nine seconds, almost breaking the world record.
It's just a little bit short. This has something to do with his current figure. His arms and legs are not long enough, and he still has great potential for growth in the future.
As the end of 1998 is approaching, the semester is about to end, and the examination season at the University of Cambridge has arrived.
There were students busy reviewing everywhere in the school, on the grass, in the auditorium, classrooms, and especially in the library, which were crowded.
With more people, it is inevitable that there will be noises. Han Xuan has stopped reading there recently. Like other students in the doctoral class, he is busy continuing to learn the knowledge he is interested in.
In the library of Sany College, there is a first edition of "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" written by Newton, published that year. This book is quite famous and has a rare amount of existence. One appeared at an auction some time ago, and finally sold for a sky-high price of 1.98 million US dollars.
Because Han Xuan had a great face, he asked the old dean to arrange for someone to take out the book two days ago to try to appreciate this masterpiece that caused a sensation in the scientific community back then. However, he did not expect that Fat Ding made trouble and stepped on it with his dirty claws, leaving a small plum blossom on the cover.
Afterwards, he thoughtfully donated a batch of books to the college. Although the old dean would not ask him for compensation, he did not want to owe this favor...
In the blink of an eye, it was December 20th.
The students who finished the exam left the campus with their luggage. Han Xuan didn't need to take the exam. As a special doctoral student, the papers he usually wrote were homework to evaluate semester grades.
So, today he packed up his things, got in the car and went from Cambridge Town, crossed the Jianhe River to leave the campus, and would not return until the spring of the next year.
When he received a call from the old man, he was about to fall asleep in a daze, so he could only blame the massage seat. It was so comfortable. He picked up his cell phone to look at the number and asked his grandfather, "Good morning, old man."
I'm going to go back to the United States, and I'll go back after I get Anya. I'm now in a car back to London..."
It was already afternoon in the UK and morning in the US, so Han Xuan said so.
Mr. Han replied: "I am also in London.
I guessed that you were about to have a holiday, so I wanted you to take me back. My plane was borrowed by your grandma to fly to Morocco. The new plane has not been built yet.
Let’s go directly to Los Angeles with me tonight. Your parents will go there too. It’s probably now. This Christmas gathering is here, and our family hasn’t had dinner together for a long time.
I was walking in the green park and negotiated with Mr. Ceo Holvin, a Netherlands Ahoud Group, to acquire part of their company's shares, in the name of SoS convenience store.
When you receive Anya and come to see me, I will go to him for some afternoon tea first, and then talk after meeting. If you have something to discuss, it is very important."
"Okay, I'm almost here. I'll call you later, bye." Han Xuan hung up after he said.
In my mind, information about the Netherlands Ahall Group, which now has about 4,000 retail stores in 27 countries around the world.
It is incomparable to the number of Sos 24-hour convenience stores with more than 70,000 stores worldwide. If it can acquire a part of its shares, it means that Sos Group will grow again, which is a good thing.
Listening to his voice, his mood seemed a little bad. Han Xuan knew why, and Mr. Han’s business had some problems recently.
In recent years, various supermarkets have emerged, the industry is very competitive, and the market is gradually becoming saturated. In addition, the two sides have a bit of a loss in the fight against Walmart.
The price war has made life difficult for all companies, especially small enterprises with insufficient funds. A large number of retail companies went bankrupt and were eliminated. The US branch of the Os Supermarket closed more than 20 loss-making stores this year, and its profits have also declined for two consecutive quarters, making Walmart's situation even less optimistic.
If it were just like this, Mr. Han would not be so worried. However, the franchisees of the American Sos 24-hour convenience store also joined forces to set up a trade union to try to negotiate with the Sos Group to gain greater benefits for themselves.
Things are very serious, and the two sides are in a stalemate.
There seems to be someone behind the scenes, otherwise the public opinion should not be as one-sided as it is now and supports those franchisees. It is clear that there are forces that are putting pressure on the Sos Group, and this pressure is not small.
Even the Ministry of Commerce intervened, hoping to conduct an asset investigation on the acquisition of Sos Group. Although it was just the opinion of a spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce, it shouldn't have happened originally. 8)
