Yes, a family must be neat and tidy. Sheffield grinned secretly. He was sure that this theory was imported. It did not fit the English context at all.

From Christmas to New Year's Day, Sheffield stayed at the Arlington Manor. Of course, he didn't stay completely. Since apart from the basics of agriculture and animal husbandry, Lafayette had handed over all the properties to himself,

Then you need to observe it carefully and then make some corresponding changes.

Unlike many companies, the family in which I live does not own a listed company, so it is impossible to calculate wealth by market value, and the calculation of wealth by market value is also very inaccurate. In terms of the shares of future Internet tycoons, when they hold the shares, their

The net worth is very high, but this net worth is fake. Once they sell the shares worth 10 billion, they will never be able to get 10 billion in cash.

Take the four major mobile phone manufacturers in the Republic as an example. None of the three are listed companies. They are not short of funds at all and naturally do not need financing. On the other hand, people naturally don’t know how much money their bosses have. Only Rebus’

The company is listed, so how much money Rebus has can still be calculated.

Sheffield can be sure that the list called the Forbes list will definitely not have a place for itself.

"Forbes?" Sheffield slapped his thigh. He had forgotten that there was no such thing these days. He bought dozens of newspapers and media in various places, randomly selected one and transformed it, and specialized in reporting on the rich. Isn't this great?

And it cannot be the same as those who pick up shit. The main responsibility of this newspaper is to promote positive energy in society and contribute to the coming of the American Century as the United States calls it. Of course, this is not all. You still need to have newspapers that are pickers of shit to complement each other.

.

The contemporary slave owner who knows very well the virtues of the Uncrowned King feels that this matter is very maneuverable. If he has both positive and negative authoritative media benchmarks in his hands, he will be able to confuse right and wrong.

The most important thing is that with Forbes as an authority who deals with the rich head-on, he actually has a lot of potential help. In the simplest terms, it can make many new rich people pay protection fees. Even if they are not so anxious now, they will be able to help in the future.

It's also good to make friends.

Once a media becomes a benchmark for recognizing the new rich in the hearts of citizens and openly talks about the American Dream, not only can it legitimately collect protection fees, but it can also receive strong support from the federal government. This support does not distinguish between Democrats and Republicans.

Yes, as long as the federal government of the United States exists.

"Very good!" Parade brought Lafayette's approval, thinking that the heir's idea was very practical.

However, the idea of ​​establishing Forbes can only be regarded as a sudden inspiration, which was directly recorded by Sheffield. This is not something that is urgent. Even if it is launched now, the results may not be immediate. It will take a long time to gain the trust of citizens, so

This matter is not urgent, I can only say that it must be done.

Until now, Sheffield has been spending money, although it has also stopped losses by swallowing up part of Keane's banana business. But the essence of spending money has not changed. Keane is still active in Boston, and not surprisingly, it is another big deal.

A large amount of expenditure. Now we need a sales model that does not require a large capital investment but will produce quick results to return funds.

This point still needs to be found in agriculture and animal husbandry, after all, this is the field where the family has the greatest say. Supermarkets, this is the sales model innovation that Sheffield has in mind, and he can confirm that there is currently no such sales model.

The earliest supermarket was created in New York in the 1930s. The American Michael Coulomb opened the first Golden Coulomb Union Store in New York State. At that time, the United States was in a period of great economic crisis. Michael Coulomb

Based on his decades of food business experience, he accurately designed a low-price strategy and pioneered the product category pricing method. His average gross profit margin was less than one-tenth, which was astonishing compared to the roughly 30% gross profit margin of general stores in the United States at that time.

People are surprised.

Compared to the founder, Sheffield has a greater advantage. The agricultural and animal husbandry products field of the United States itself relies on the southern states, and his family is the leader among them. It has more pricing advantages than an ordinary businessman.

There is no doubt that Sheffield has now done something about the shameless middlemen. It was these middlemen who were responsible for the sudden rise and fall of agricultural and animal husbandry products last year, which put many farmers who relied on farming on the verge of bankruptcy.

It's a very hard life, these middlemen are simply bad, and their existence has cost the citizens of the United States a lot.

The solution is to kill these middlemen and directly control the food problem of the citizens of the United States. This will better benefit both parties. The Sheffield family can occupy the market and the citizens of the United States can eat high-quality and affordable food.

The biggest advantage of supermarkets is that they give citizens the illusion that I am the one who decides what products to buy. It can be said that it directly attacks the psychological weakness of human beings. After all, the stinky problem of human beings is that everyone has a high self-esteem and what do they think about themselves?

They are all right. Naturally, you can only feel at ease with the things you personally select. In fact, the pricing power is still in the hands of the operator.

Considering this psychological existence, what can limit supermarkets from defeating traditional stores only depends on whether the wallets in the hands of citizens are full. As long as the wallets are full, they cannot control their own hands.

You can even manage a wave of characters this way. Anyway, you already have a lot of newspapers in your hands now. Schebs is ready to make friends with the citizens of the United States. The cost-effectiveness is good. The most important thing is that he will not repeat what Rebs did.

Unfortunately, Rebus has no control over the supply chain, while the agricultural and livestock products themselves are in the hands of Sheffield.

"I want information on cities with a population of more than 100,000 in the entire United States, including race, industrial and agricultural proportions, and local per capita wages." As for the home base of Texas, Sheffield did not increase the work burden on Aunt Parade, everything was covered.

Under control.

It's still the same, the preparation time can be very long, but once the conditions are ready, you have to quickly seize the market before everyone reacts. When New Year's Day is approaching, Keane, who has been disappearing, did not prepare to spend New Year's Day at home, and appeared here

Among Arlington Manor.

"Boss, I have good news. As expected, the Boston Fruit Company is willing to merge with the United Fruit Company!" Keane showed up with a man who was not very old. He announced the good news with a happy face as soon as they met.

"Oh, that's really good news!" Sheffield nodded and waited for Keane to explain how much merger and acquisition funds were needed. After completing the acquisition of the Boston Fruit Company, there were almost no rivals in the fruit industry.

"The good news doesn't stop there. The boss, Lowell, Adams, and Lawrence are very interested in the boss's electric propulsion!" Keane said that he also had unexpected gains.
Chapter completed!
