Chapter 1903 Make up for Dr. Ye (2/22)
“More than half of the cashews in the world were bought by Costco.
Costco deliberately lost money to sell hot dogs, which led customers to buy other high-profit products. The hot dog + soda package has been priced at US$1.5 in the United States, and it has been sold for more than 20 years...
Costco's photo quick wash printing department, with a daily rinsing volume of up to 2 million pictures...
In addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, goods sold by Costco, there are coffins, urns, etc., and even pet urns can be purchased...
In order to save transportation costs, Costco changed nut jars from round to square, saving about 400 trucks each year, with amazing results.
Costco takes the boutique route, with as many as 100,000 items on the shelves unlike its competitor Walmart, while Costco only has about 4,000 items.
Although Costco is a hypermarket, it also sells diamonds. In 2007 alone, the total weight of diamonds sold by Costco in the world reached 100,000 carats...
The most charming thing about Costco is that it has small profits but quick turnover. Generally, supermarkets and department stores will make a profit of 25% to 50%, while Costco only increases by 15%, which is 30% cheaper.
Although Costco adopts an annual membership system, about 90% of the 40 million members around the world are willing to renew their contracts.
Costco's employees have very good benefits, which can retain talents and is also the most loved company in the United States by employees..."
At dusk, Andy, who was lying comfortably on the Maybach airline seat, looked at the secrets of the hidden business strategy sent to him by the think tank on his mobile phone about Costco supermarket.
After reading it, Andy became more determined to take the acquisition decision, locked the screen and looked at the street scene of Manhattan outside the car window with a deep look, and said to himself: "Such a 13-year-old supermarket should of course belong to me Andy Smith!"
"Boss, there's a traffic jam ahead, I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a while."
At this moment, Martin, who was on the passenger seat, reached out and pressed the earphone in his ear, turned around and reported to Andy with a helpless expression.
"What happened?" Andy had long been accustomed to traffic congestion in New York. This is why, if he could, he would usually choose to travel by helicopter.
“It is possible that Manhattan sunrise today, so the streets ahead are full of cars and people.”
"Ha~" Andy chuckled and said, "Let's go and have a look."
As he said that, Andy didn't wait for Martin to get off the car to help him open the door, but opened the car door by himself and got out of the car. His sudden decision was startled by Martin, and immediately opened the door and got out of the car, blocked Andy, and notified the bodyguards in the front and rear guards to get off with their headsets.
Seeing the bodyguards who were facing a great enemy surrounded him in the middle, Andy put on sunglasses and looked at the many pedestrians who were rushing to the intersection ahead with laughter and tears. He couldn't help but reach out and pat Martin on the shoulder blocking him, and said calmly: "It's okay, let's go, look ahead."
"Manhattan Hanging Sun" is an iconic landscape in New York City, which appears twice a year, indicating that the sun appears directly above the east-west streets of Manhattan at sunset, which seems to be a dramatic picture hanging between the tall buildings on both sides. When "Manhattan Hanging Sun" appears, every east-west street in Manhattan is bathed in the afterglow of the sunset.
When Andy and his party came to the street entrance with curious gazes of pedestrians around him, they happened to be the sunrise. The golden sunlight shone on everything. The appearance of this beautiful scenery immediately caused a burst of marvel among the crowd.
Although this is not the first time Andy has seen Manhattan sunshine, he is still attracted by seeing the wonderful landscape composed of natural and modern buildings again. He pushed his sunglasses over his head, took out his cell phone and started to take pictures of this mysterious and spectacular scene.
Standing in the middle of the street and looking into the distance, it is like the sun hanging at the end of the street.
"Omg! It's Andy Smith..."
"Oh my God, it's him, he's watching the sun..."
More than ten minutes later, the sun slowly fell down. When Andy looked down at her shooting situation, she heard the screams of two women not far away. She couldn't help but look up and looked at her. She looked at several girls with excitement and couldn't help but show a bright sunny smile. She first raised her hand and waved her hand and greeted her, then raised her fingers on her mouth, signaled a ban on voice gesture, then put on her glasses, and under the escort of more than a dozen Martin, she quickly turned around and returned to the same way.
"Ah--he waved at me, he's so handsome..."
"Yeah yeah..."
"Damn it, we should have signed it for him..."
......
Looking at the backs left by a group of bodyguards, the girls who were excited and exclaimed first became upset. As the youngest richest man in the world, almost every American girl regarded him as the best date, fantasizing about having a chance to meet him and spend a romantic night.
This is why Ivana's position among American women has always been in a very embarrassing position. Some people are sought after, but they are more envious and jealous. Although her ins and Facebook are highly concerned, the comment section is almost a Shura field.
When Andy walked into the house, she saw that she would wear the most comfortable silk pajamas at home and tie her hair up casually. Ivana, who was dressed in a lazy manner, lay on the sofa casually. Although her belly was a bit scary, she couldn't help but still so awesome.
"Dear, sit down and don't get up..."
Seeing Andy come back, Ivana, who has a happy and sweet smile on her face, had some difficulty in standing up, but Andy quickly walked up to stop her, then sat beside her, kissed her, gently stroked her big belly, and laughed softly, "How do you feel?"
"Everything is fine, it's nothing, it's just getting more and more inconvenient." Ivana smiled sweetly and showed her white teeth. She reached out and stroked her ears and pressed them against her pregnant belly to listen to the fetal movement. Andy's cheeks were filled with a warm and happy expression.
"After persevering for a week, he/she can come out, and then you will be relieved." Andy raised his head, looked at Ivana with a gentle face, reached out to caress her rounder face, and said with some emotion: "Dear, thank you for everything you have endured for me and the child."
Ivana looked at Andy with tenderness, reached out to touch Andy's cheek, and said gently: "I love you."
"I love you too!" As he said that, Andy bent forward, carefully embraced Ivana in his arms, quietly enjoying the warm moments between the two.
The next morning, Andy, wearing a vest and shorts, carefully supported Ivana and wandered in the garden of the manor.
"It's so sad. Even if mj dies, he will not be able to get peace..."
Ivana was erect and pinched her waist with her hands. She was carefully supported by Andy, slowly moving her steps, with a pity on her face, and sighed at some reports about Michael's body and legacy in the newspaper this morning.
"In the era of entertainment until death, everyone is a participant in the event, the carrier of the topic, the topic maker, the topic disseminator, and the audience of melons are constantly driving the topic to continue to be hot. As long as the news is hot, the topic will continue to continue. As for the dignity of the deceased, it is not within people's consideration." Andy said with a smile. He did not want to affect Ivana's mood because of these things, and use larger topics to divert her attention.
"Indeed." Ivana nodded and responded, and shook her head slightly and laughed: "Just like the photos of us who have not yet born, they have been hyped up by those media to 10 million."
"Haha, since there are suckers who are willing to spend this money, we will satisfy them. If we really take out 10 million to buy photos, we will set up a charity fund for our children to provide nutritional assistance to those newborns in trouble and mothers who have just given birth. What do you think?" Andy suggested with a smile.
