Han Xuan's grandfather's house was also in Beverly Hills, and he stayed alone at the foot of the mountain, and there were no other residents nearby.

It was bought by the elders of Guo Muzhou's family in the 50s, and the boy's mother grew up here, no one lived in it a few years ago, and there was no decoration, and the room still maintained the style of the 70s, exquisite and warm.

On the walls of the second floor, there are many oil paintings collected from all over the world, covered in bulletproof glass, some of which are fine.

For example, the painter Francis Bacon painted "Freud Portrait Study" for his friend Sigmund Freud in 1969, and Jackson Pollock's "No. 5".

There is also a charming portrait "Boy with a Pipe" painted by Picasso from Sotheby's auction house in the 80s, with a sculpture standing in the center of the aisle, which was introduced by my grandfather, it is the representative work of the Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti, "The Walking Man".

In 1990, a portrait of Van Gogh's doctor Gachet, who cared for the last months of his life, was sent to the auction house, when most of Guo Muzhou's liquidity was borrowed by Morgan Stanley.

Because he liked the painting so much, he borrowed 100 million US dollars from his in-laws, pressed down a wealthy Japanese businessman, and spent 82.6 million US dollars to photograph one of the most famous paintings in the world.

This is only a part of the collection on the entire second floor, and if there is any house in Beverly Hills that is the most valuable, it must be his one, a billion-dollar billionaire, who can't boast that he can buy it.

The iron railing next to the window is the thickness of an arm, the foundation is made of steel and cement underground, the depth reaches five meters, and the house is a few dozen meters away is the police station, which is guarded 24 hours a day, and everyone who approaches here needs to be audited, even if they look at it a few times, they will be taken for questioning.

It is unthinkable in other parts of the United States, but the Beverly Police Department has such a right, in fact, except for Guo Muzhou himself, no one can break through the security team that has been maintained at about fifteen people all year round, where the heavy weapons depot has been filed, and if someone breaks into the villa area without permission, maybe there will be a sniper rifle pointed at his head, ready to shoot at any time.

In Los Angeles, where even the stupidest postman knows they can't get close to this area, Guo Muzhou is famous in the top collecting circles, and the thieves know that there are treasures in the house, but no one dares to test their skills.

For example, visiting the Louvre, Han Xuan looked through all the collections alone, and spent more than an hour playing on the Avenue of Stars, and now the time is close to half past nine in the evening.

At noon, I agreed with my grandfather to go to his place to sleep, and I was just about to say goodbye to my grandfather, but I didn't expect Guo Muzhou to come out with a LV handbag: "Go to them? Let's go, I'll go too." ”

……

Old Man Han is still working late in the study.

After Wal-Mart went public, it had a large amount of liquidity in its hands, and it expanded wildly in the United States and around the world, and the earnings of the SOS Group have declined sharply in the past six months.

After reading the statistics, the turnover in the first and second quarters will be about the same as the same period last year, which has never happened in the last ten years.

You must know that compared with last year, the number of SOS branches has increased by more than 40, and there are more than a dozen department stores, which means that the turnover of each store has decreased.

Comparing the collected data, the US economy is gradually emerging from the crisis this year and is slowly beginning to increase, with economic growth rates reaching 3.4% and 4.1% in the first and second quarters.

The old man was having a headache about this matter, and when he heard a knock on the door, he subconsciously said, "Come in." ”

"Why haven't you slept yet?" asked Han Xuan.

The boy's grandfather also walked in, and his luggage was taken to the room by the old butler.

Sitting on the cashmere sofa, he poured himself a cup of tea, in the family of his in-laws who he had known since childhood, there was nothing to restrain him, and when he saw that he was still busy with work, he smacked his lips to express sympathy.

The old man nodded to Guo Muzhou to say hello, saw his grandson, rubbed his eyebrows and squeezed out a smile, and said in his mouth: "It's nothing, the company has encountered something, and I'll sleep later, where is your grandma?"

She was watching TV in the living room. "Approached the desk and sat on my grandfather's lap, picked up the company report and looked at it, when I was in class at Brown University, the teacher taught them this, the report was detailed and concise, and all kinds of data were clear at a glance.

"Today's earnings have declined?" Han Xuan turned around and asked in a low voice, he rarely touched the affairs of the company at home, but just looking at the rapid growth of the SOS Group in the past few years, and comparing this year with last year, it is easy to find the problem.

"Well, I've hit a bottleneck. Old Man Han hugged the boy's waist and lifted him up to make him sit more comfortably.

In recent years, the number of supermarkets in the United States has increased a lot, and the market is about to be saturated. ”

"The number of supermarkets is indeed a bit large, and in Hollywood alone, there are two more in the past six months, and I have never heard that name before. ”

"Seeing that they can make money are swarming in, they will never become the climate, SOS is now a very good scale, as long as you can retain old customers, the money you make every year is enough for you to spend. ”

Hearing his in-laws' words, Old Man Han rolled his eyes.

SOS company is like his second child, to take care of it seriously, spend more time on it than on his own son who is not a weapon, see SOS now like this, of course will be anxious, dissatisfied: "Standing and talking does not hurt back, tens of thousands of employees spend a lot of money every day, who will support them if they make less money, and fight a price war with other businesses, the profit margin has been reduced a lot, plus taxes and the like, wages are not paid." ”

", I don't know how much money you make every year? It's so much better than my studio."

The two old men quarreled, Han Xuan quietly observed the data on the side, the supermarket has developed to a certain scale, and the reduction in profit margin is expected, Wal-Mart's turnover in 2015 is close to 500 billion US dollars, but the profit margin is only an unexpected 3.3%, and the revenue of more than 10 billion US dollars is completely supported by a huge sales network.

According to this report, there are now 623 SOS stores in the United States, and the one at Brown University is not counted, it is the smallest of all stores, and the data is not counted in it.

Thinking of the strange convenience store in the university, Han Xuan seemed to feel that he had caught something.

In the past few months, the small store can also earn a lot of pocket money, and the huge sales network does not have to rely on the head office to support, if it is like a tree trunk spreading branches and leaves, and then develop downward

Just like the American company 7-Eleven, which was acquired by Japanese companies in later generations, there is also the familyMart convenience store business model created in Japan.

The average area of the site is only about 100 square meters, but such a store provides more than 3,000 kinds of daily necessities, and thanks to countless small stores, the annual sales are quite amazing, so I hurriedly picked up a pen and wrote down this idea.

When Old Man Han saw the idea he had written, his mouth immediately opened wide.

ps: Strong push next week, on the 1st of next month, support a lot haha.
