Chapter 632 Little Edward Roski Is Also Here

That night.

Zucker and his party stayed in a hotel in downtown Eau Claire.

dong dong dong~

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Zhu Ke, who was just about to take a shower before going to bed, replied and opened the door for him.

"Boss, sorry to disturb you so late," Alexander said.

That's right, the person who knocked on Zhu Ke's door at this moment was not a woman, but Alexander, director of the President's Office and chief assistant of Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group.

Zhu Ke welcomed him in: "Is the data collection finished?"

"Um."

Alexander nodded and said: "It did not live up to your expectations. The information on Maynards Home Improvement, Home Depot and Lowe's has been roughly collected and organized. However, due to time constraints, the information I collected may be lacking. Therefore, I I found the Venetian Information Consulting Service Company again.”

Hearing this, Zu Ke raised his eyebrows immediately and said, "Venice Information Consulting Service Company? I remember their fees are not low, right? How much did you spend?"

Venetian Information Consulting Service Company, which is a company specializing in operating corporate news, belongs to the gray industry and often walks on the edge of the law.

However, where there is a market, there is demand.

Companies that can sell and dare to sell the information of major companies naturally have a deep background, otherwise they will be finished long ago.

"$300,000!"

Alexander blurted out.

Zuke nodded: "You don't have to ask the company to reimburse you for this money. I will transfer it to you from my personal account later."

After speaking, Alexander left.

In the huge hotel suite, Zu Ke was left alone again.

"Let me now take a look at the information on Menards Home Improvement, Home Depot and Lowe's. After all, I am quite interested in the profits of the personal home improvement field."

This is the truth.

Don't think that in the 21st century, only the Internet and real estate can make big money?

In the personal home improvement products market in the real estate branch industry,

There are also huge profits, and the profits are quite high.

Example: Home Depot.

It is one of the largest retailers of home building materials in the United States. In 2020, the "Forbes" 2020 Global Brand Value Top 100 list was released, and Home Depot ranked 34th with an annual turnover of more than 110 billion US dollars.

Not to mention how much profit Home Depot can make out of this $110 billion in revenue, just such a high cash flow is worth any company going crazy.

Banks will not let such large customers go in the first place;

The governments of the federal states, in order to increase the employment rate, will also give enterprises great tax incentives;

Furthermore, in 2020, Home Depot will have more than 2,200 stores around the world.

Every store is not a simple store~

To be precise, each store is a large-scale store for personal home improvement materials and supplies. The one with a large area covers more than 40,000 products.

"For me as a media person, every personal home improvement store is completely a point of publicity."

"After all, the number of customers each store receives every day is in the thousands or tens of thousands."

Zhu Ke is so envious of Menaz's home decoration, which is also because of its natural publicity channels.

Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, which is under the name of Zhu Ke, and its subordinate Wald Pictures, although they currently have a vast global distribution channel for movies, not to mention North America. However, when it comes to film announcements, it is still not as good as the Big Six in Hollywood.

Among them, it naturally includes the announcement of the film in North America.

"On the Thanksgiving schedule not long ago, the two works "Flying Home" and "Monster Power Company" were released at the same time. Among them, the number of movie theaters on the premiere day of "Flying Home" was only 2,300;"

"What about Monsters, Inc.?"

"It was produced by Pixar, distributed by Disney, and it got over 3,000 theaters on its opening day."

"Although there are deep-rooted reasons for Disney's deep-rooted reasons for this gap, it still cannot hide the decline of Wald Pictures."

The box office of "Flying House Globe" was able to overtake "Monster Electric Company" in the later period, mainly due to the publicity in the Internet field.

As for the announcement of the offline market...

Wald Pictures does have a long way to go...  

"However, as long as I take the shares of Menards Home Improvement, then in the future, I can rely on Menards Home Improvement stores across the United States to greatly enhance the publicity power of Wald Pictures in the offline market; even if it can't surpass Hollywood Six It can also greatly shorten the gap.”

Is the Maynards home furnishing bad?

Do not!

Don't look at it now, there are only 49 stores nationwide, and the market is mainly concentrated in Wisconsin. Known as the third largest personal home improvement brand in the United States.

"John Monard Jr. wants more money to expand and seize the market, and I just don't lack money. It's a perfect rhythm."

Zucker got a little excited.

【Meynaz Home Improvement】

【The Home Depot Company】

【Lowe's Company】

......

As well as other personal home improvement brands, there are more than 20 documents displayed in front of Zu Ke's eyes at the moment.

......

the next day.

Headquarters of Menards Home Improvement Company.

As the boss, John Menard Jr. received Zucker very warmly again, "Man, you must have understood the general situation, whether you loan me a sum of money or take a stake in my Menards home improvement, I will Acceptable, provided your funds arrive as soon as possible."

"You know, this market doesn't wait for anyone!"

John Menard Jr. has always been a steady man and a little procrastinator, but this time he got straight to the point.

It can be seen that he is in a hurry!

"Um!"

Zucker nodded and said: "I just read the information at the latest. In the months after 9/11, Home Depot took the opportunity to win the market in many cities in Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa. , the market share and market share have increased a lot, and the number of acquired stores alone has exceeded 50."

"Lowe's is not too bad. Missouri and Kansas have recently appeared in Missouri and Kansas. It is said that they have spent more than 1 billion yuan."

The voice fell.

John Menard Jr. spread his hands and said, "Now you know my suffering. I spent $100 million, but it depends on who I compare with. Compared with Home Depot and Lowe's, I am nothing! "

Home Depot recently spent more than $1.5 billion;

Lowe's also spent $1 billion;

Other companies are not far behind. If you take a step too slowly, you won't even be able to eat a hot meal in the end.

......

Just when Zucker was looking at the contract, several people suddenly arrived, all of whom were investors who were about to invest in Menards Home Improvement.

One of them is also an old friend.

The owner of Roskey Properties in New York - Edward Roski Jr.

At the moment, Zu Ke's expression condensed.

"Menard is indeed a cunning old fox! He invited Edward Roski Jr., um, and other investors, and he definitely wanted to bring them in as well, so that he could check and balance me."

"At that time, although Menard's shares have been diluted, he is still the largest individual shareholder and still sits firmly in the Diaoyutai."

"Sure enough, anyone who can become a billionaire from scratch is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

Zhu Ke looked at the people who came, and thought to himself.

" "The second is sent.
