495 [Win-Win Situation]

As Song Zhichao clapped his hands, the door of the VIP room was opened, and an old man carrying a black official box came in. He was wearing a suit and tie, with a gray-black double-breasted European suit on the upper body, and a wide gray-black trousers underneath. He wore an oval top hat, deep eye sockets, and a big nose. A few strands of sparse white and gray hair were exposed under the top hat, which was a typical American ghost style.

When he saw the visitor, Jack Walton, who was originally very calm, stood up, stared at the man, and said, "Are you - Uncle Robert?"

The old man held the box in one hand and took off the hat in the other hand. He looked at Jack affectionately, and said in an excited tone: "Yes, it's me, my dear Master Jack!"

Jack's tone was a little choked and he couldn't speak anymore.

The Robert in front of him is an old man from their Walton family. He has the responsibilities of housekeeper and lawyer. He is also the person Old Sam trusted the most before his death.

For Jack, in the Walton family, besides grandpa Sam Walton, the one closest to him is Robert's uncle.

Robert has been serving the Walton family for a long time. To be precise, he is actually half a member of the Walton family.

Because of this, Jack seemed so excited when he saw him at first sight.

"Young Master, are you doing well recently?" Robert found a seat at Song Zhichao's instructions and sat down slowly, carefully putting the official box in his hand under his feet - after all, he was old and could not bear it when he stood there.

Jack didn't know what to say, so he squeezed out for a long time: "I'm sorry."

Robert smiled, "You shouldn't say this to me, you should say it to your grandfather, Mr. Sam Walton - he has always cared about you and wants to hear you say this to him."

Jack felt extremely sad when he heard this.

"I want to say it, but unfortunately, it's too late."

Robert also sighed, "Do you think your grandpa really gave up on you after you left home? No, in fact, he has been watching you..."

Jack "..." was slightly stunned.

"Do you remember the stormy night three years ago? You couldn't find a big place to stay, and finally a kind person took you in. In fact, the family was arranged by your grandfather on the phone, and the accommodation fee for you to stay there for a night is as high as a thousand dollars."

"Do you still remember that winter two years ago? You were sick and fell ill on the cold roadside, had a high fever, kept muttering and talking in your sleep. In a coma, you were sent to the hospital and received good treatment. Afterwards, you realized that it was a kind-hearted person who discovered you and sent you to the hospital for treatment - but the fact is that the person was the bodyguard sent by your grandfather to protect you."

Jack's tears couldn't stop flowing.

"A year ago, you failed to find a job and were insulted by the fat manager who was as fat as a pig. In the end, you couldn't help but wield your fists and hit him, so you were taken away by the police. In the end, you just stayed in the police station for a while, and the fat manager found out that he had withdrawn the lawsuit, no longer accused you, but instead apologized to you and let you leave safely - do you really think there is such a person in the world?"

Jack could no longer hold back and cried loudly.

"So, Jack, although you left the Walton family and your grandfather, your grandfather has always been by your side." Robert said emotionally.

Jack cried loudly.

Song Zhichao handed over the handkerchief.

Jack wiped his tears and choked, "It turns out that grandpa has been watching me all the time."

Seeing that Jack finally understood the truth, Robert couldn't help but wipe his tears, and then continued: "Now, dear Jack, you must go back, go back to take charge of the overall situation, go back to inherit the Walmart Group - your aunt and your cousin are now eyeing the company you want to inherit, and many shareholders of the company are also planning to sit on the throne of the chairman of the board of directors, replace your grandfather and become the actual ruler of Walmart. However, the only legal heir your grandfather recognized is you, you Jack Walton, and no one can replace him!" Robert's tone was sharp.

"So you must go back quickly and take control of the company's power in advance before they control the board." Robert said, "This is your grandfather's expectation of you and his advice to me before he died."

"But I...can I?"

"Why not? Don't you know that during the years your grandpa was staring at you, he actually tried many tests on you. Have you forgotten it?"

Jack: "…"

"You applied for a job and wrote a 'member customization' plan for the fat manager. In the end, your grandfather got it and practiced it in the supermarket, recruiting members in a large scale to consolidate customer flow, and finally increased the turnover of the entire supermarket by 30%.

"Also, you have seen your grandfather working in supermarkets over the years, so, Jack, you can do it, you have to believe in yourself!" Robert said.

Jack Walton hesitated for a moment, "But I... can't I go back now!"

Robert smiled, "Why? You have a great opportunity now."

Jack: "…"

Robert glanced at Song Zhichao next to him, "I have to thank my dear Mr. Song--" said, "I found me not long ago, and to be precise, he found the company and wanted to sell their company's new product VCD - God, that's definitely a good thing! I have been doing business with your grandfather for so many years, and I can tell at a glance that this is a very promising new technology product. If it is put on sale in our supermarkets and department stores, it will definitely be a big sell."

"But your aunt and cousin are unwilling to do this, because they have the final say whether everything can be put on the shelves--absolute power will breed absolute corruption, especially like them. If you want to put it on the shelves, you must express it, to be precise, they are bribing it--are you, dear Song?"

Song Zhichao smiled helplessly, "Yes, Mr. Robert, they asked me for one million US dollars. If I paid, they would allow my VCD to be listed - but God, one million is too much. For me, I refuse such a proposal."

"See, dear Jack, this is called short-sightedness. When doing business, they only know how to make money from their own pockets, but never care about the good or bad of our business." Robert said, and then said to Jack Walton: "Dear Jack, do you remember what your grandfather once said? He once said, 'We value the value of every penny, because one of the purposes of our service is to help every customer who comes into the store to save money.

When we save a dollar, we win the trust of customers.’ For this reason, he asked every purchasing staff to be firm when purchasing goods. He warned: ‘You are not bargaining for the store, but for the customer. We should get the best price for customers.’ But your aunt and cousin are bargaining for themselves and seeking benefits for themselves! So, we don’t need people like them, we need you!”

Jack, I was moved.

Robert continued: "Now, Mr. Song has found you, you can help him put the VCD on the shelves, and you will take this opportunity to return to the company, and no one can stop you!"

Song Zhichao said, "Now, we can sign the contract just by nodding - I can guarantee that this VCD will definitely sell well by then and become the most brilliant record for you to sit on the throne of the Walmart Kingdom!"

Jack nodded no longer hesitated!

Song Zhichao smiled, then turned to Robert and said, "Now, can we sign the contract officially?"
Chapter completed!
