"This is Cooper Walton, my third uncle's eldest son and also my cousin." Looking at Jiang Hai's eyes, Pula Walton also introduced the situation of the person in front of Jiang Hai. Hearing Pula Walton's introduction, Cooper here also smiled.
"This is the first time I saw Mr. Jiang. To be honest, I really hope to make friends with Mr. Jiang." Looking at Jiang Hai, Cooper-Walton said indifferently. After hearing his words, Jiang Hai also felt slightly She smiled awkwardly and shook hands with him.
"My relationship with the Walton family is still very close. We are already friends, aren't we?" Looking at Cooper Walton in front of him, Jiang Hai also smiled and said. Hearing Jiang Hai's little words If it seemed perfunctory, Cooper-Walton also laughed.
After a few words of greeting, the man left. Jiang Hai and Pula Walton also took a lot of food and went to a corner. While eating, Pula Walton gave them to Jiang Hai introduced the current situation of her family.
The founder of the Walton family, Sam Walton, has four children. The eldest is Robertson Walton, whose full name is Samuel Robertson Walton. The second is John Walton. The third is Jim Walton, and there is a daughter, Alice Walton. Originally, the second child, John Walton, was the most favored by the old man, but unfortunately he passed away due to an accident. Only then came the chairman's battle between Robertson and Jim.
John Walton's wife and children inherited his inheritance, but they basically only took care of the money and were not too concerned about the company.
Alice Walton, Pula Walton's aunt, is now divorced and has no children. She lives by playing.
With a net worth of more than 30 billion US dollars, she has nothing to do except play. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the female version of Jiang Hai.
Now the second generation of the Walton family are basically quite old, almost sixty years old, so now the Walton family is starting an internal power struggle just like those bloody TV series.
The main ones are the Samuel Robertson Walton family and the Jim Walton family. Samuel Robertson Walton has three children in total, two boys and one girl. The eldest is called Jack Walton. The second is Pula Walton, and the third is Austin Walton.
Now his wife can't be considered a wife, after all, she is divorced, she is the mother of the third child, Austin Walton.
Jim Walton has four children in total, three boys and one girl. The eldest is Cooper. To be honest, this is also the most capable person among the third generation of the Walton family, besides Pula Walton. Even in terms of pure ability, Pula was no match for him. The man named Bright just now was Jim Walton's youngest son.
He also has a second brother named Hope Walton, and a third sister named Bertha Walton.
The children of her second uncle's family had already left the competitive ranks of the Walton family long after his second uncle's death.
This thing is so cruel. Americans are a money-oriented society. Losers are not like people in China. There is no bottom line. They have no bottom line. Now Pula Walton and her second uncle's family are still You can live well.
It's entirely because they just want money and have no idea of taking power. If they don't want power, then they are the main target for everyone, so no one will have trouble with them, because if they are pushed to the other side, The only ones who suffer the most are themselves. These people are very smart and would not do such a thing.
In Cooper's eyes, Jiang Hai is also such a person. He came here just to form a good relationship. If there is a chance in the future, he naturally hopes that Jiang Hai will support him. However, Jiang Hai's words just now have made it very clear. .
He and Pula Walton are close, so they are friends. In other words, if Pula Walton doesn't let him make friends with them, then they won't be friends.
It was precisely because Jiang Hai's words were so strong that Cooper just smiled and left. He was different from Brett. As mentioned before, he was one of the most outstanding people among the three generations. He naturally knew that Jiang Hai In terms of cooperation with Wal-Mart, Wal-Mart actually has bargaining power, but in fact it doesn't matter that Wal-Mart is begging Jiang Hai for cooperation.
Jiang Hai's beef has gone away from the unknown attitude in the early days. Now he can make a lot of money by opening a specialty store in every city. He can completely skip the Wal-Mart Group. The reason why Jiang Hai did not do this is that in It seemed that he was doing it, firstly, for stability, and secondly, to give Pula Walton face. After all, the relationship between the two was there.
Of course, if Jiang Hai knew that he thought so, Jiang Hai would be very surprised and say, can this still be done
Don't call Jiang Hai an idiot, he really didn't think about it, and he didn't fully focus on making money.
For Jiang Hai, although money is very important, enjoying life is actually the most important thing.
He was busy opening a store, fearing that he could earn an extra billion or even billions of dollars a year, but he was unwilling to do it because it would be very troublesome. The initial market development and construction alone were enough to make him He felt physically and mentally exhausted. He just enjoyed the flow and had no ambitions, not to mention that he was cooperating with Wal-Mart. As long as Wal-Mart still wanted to make money, it had to have a good relationship with Jiang Hai.
This largest company in the United States is no joke. There is no problem in keeping Jiang Hai. The premise is that Jiang Hai, like John's son, just wants to make money, and everything else doesn't matter.
"Brett, I heard that you were raped by others?" Just as Jiang Hai and Pula Walton were eating there, a guy with a slicked back hair came over from a distance. This guy looked like Just like the replica of Robertson Walton, but decades younger than him, everyone present except Jiang Hai should know this person.
Austin Walton, the youngest son of Samuel Robertson Walton, is also what he calls the son who looks most like him.
However, his life has been quite difficult recently. Don't forget that Pula Walton has a grudge against him. Pula Walton was not less popular with this family when she was a child, and even started to be afraid. Men also like women because of this family relationship.
Later, after she showed her abilities, she made her uncle Austin Walton, who had bullied her, disappear.
Since then, her relationship with this family has dropped to a freezing point, and Robertson Walton does not want the people in his family to fight among themselves, so he separates the two parties. In fact, in his opinion, the real relationship between her and this family is, Pra-Walton. Walton, an illegitimate daughter, was still not as important as his youngest son, so he had been protecting the family. However, the relationship between Pula Walton and Jiang Hai improved, and after they made it clear, in order to win over Pula- Walton, he had to watch, Pula-Walton came to suppress this brother of hers.
Austin Walton's life has been quite difficult recently, and he hasn't had it easy in the past two years.
The company he started with the help of Wal-Mart has lost tens of millions in the past two years. Although Robertson-Walton is rich, it is his money. He would not be willing to directly fill the hole for his son. What's more, Pula Walton and her eldest brother, Jack Walton, will also give advice. They are not born to the same mother. How can they be brothers and sisters
Therefore, he was not happy to give money, not to mention that he kept losing money. Last year, he directly asked Austin Walton to file for bankruptcy. What use was he to a company that kept losing money
After going bankrupt, the only money Austin Walton could spend was his little pocket money, which was very little for him.
This guy's character is somewhat similar to Qi Zhengtao's. He is dissatisfied seven times a day and not angry eight times a day. Moreover, he is more assertive than Qi Zhengtao, but Pula Walton is much more ruthless than Qi Li, although she doesn't know how to do it. It was inevitable that Austin Walton would die, but he would never have a peaceful life. After the company closed down, he was in a bad mood, went to a bar to drink, and then was beaten. The murderer was still not found, so he went out racing, He was arrested by the police, held a party at home, smoked some nondescript substances, and was investigated by the FBI. It can be said that the detention center has become his second home during this period of time. He spends more time there than at home. The time inside was even longer. When he entered the detention center, no one gave him face as the son of the Walton family. He would be beaten when he needed to be beaten and scolded when he needed to be scolded. Robertson Walton was not stupid either. He would do it once or twice. Got it, someone was targeting him.
At first he thought it was Jim Walton's family, but after checking and finding out it was Pula Walton, he also shut up because he couldn't afford to offend this daughter now. After taking Austin Walton out of the detention center, he locked his son directly at home and was absolutely not allowed to leave the villa.
It was almost like being locked up. Alcohol was not allowed, parties were not allowed, and those friends were not allowed to contact him. If it weren't for the fact that today was the family's annual meeting, he probably wouldn't have been able to show his face.
So it's impossible to say that he doesn't hate Pla Walton, but the biggest problem now is that he can't handle Pla Walton. Even if Pla Walton breaks his leg now, he There is no place to reason.
Samuel Roblin Walton is a businessman, a real businessman. Although he likes Austin Walton, his shares must be divided into three after his death, and all three children have them. , and even Pla Walton will be more, because he has shown his value, and it is precisely because of knowing this that Austin Walton found Bright.
