Chapter 523 Unbridled Wild Horse
"Boss, when are you giving us the watches?"
Someone asked urgently.
Elbert smiled knowingly, "Right now, just having these watches isn't enough. Those big company bosses out there are all high and mighty. When they hear about an acquisition, you probably won't even get through the door!"
The investment managers suddenly understood!
This time, their acquisition targets weren't those small startup companies!
It wouldn't be that easy to meet with their bosses!
Elbert paced slowly,
"Our next target is to start by acquiring individual stores!"
"First step, we need to get all those little shops on the street to hang our TO sign!"
"Form an encirclement and put pressure on the big stores!"
The investment managers nodded repeatedly!
TO's store influence was too strong. Once they opened, they would definitely steal lots of customers!
The big stores wouldn't be able to sit still!
Then Elbert continued: "However, these stores are too small with too little data. My business sandbox won't be much use."
The investment managers' expressions instantly dimmed!
There were tons of small stores on the streets, and their owners were relatively stubborn. This wouldn't be easy!
"So."
"I'll demonstrate how to acquire small stores for you."
Elbert chuckled and randomly picked an investment manager to come on stage. "You play the store owner, I'll play the acquirer. Remember, you're a tough owner."
Everyone watched quietly. What clever plan did Paul Three have this time?
Elbert casually sat in a chair, making eye contact with the other boss.
"Hello, I'm here to acquire your store."
The boss shook his head like a rattle drum, "No way!"
Elbert smiled lightly, "I'll offer $500,000."
The 'boss': "How is that possible? My little store's annual revenue is only $400,000..."
Elbert raised his hand slightly, "$1 million."
"No! My store..."
"$1.5 million."
"Huh? This..."
"$2 million."
"$2 million? Well..."
"$2.5 million."
"I..."
"$3 million!"
"Deal!"
The investment manager was now sweating profusely!
What kind of acquisition strategy was this!
The investment managers present were also stunned!
Elbert stood up with his hands behind his back, "Did everyone understand?"
Everyone nodded woodenly.
Got it!
You're just going out there throwing money around!
"Then my demonstration is complete."
Elbert smiled innocently, "Let's do it this way from now on. Remember, you only have 21 minutes to acquire each individual store!"
The air fell silent again!
After a long while, someone asked: "Paul Three, does our company have enough money?"
"Enough for you to spend for a while!"
As Elbert spoke, he looked at Elowen!
Elowen was also stunned, "Mr. Perry, this way of spending money..."
Elbert's eyes flickered, "The initial momentum must be big enough. Only when we reach a certain scale will we have bargaining power. Later on, just dropping a few percentage points with the big companies will be enough for us to break even!"
"Paul Three, I get what you mean!"
"Don't worry, I'll do a great job. Every penny of the company won't be wasted!"
"Paul Three, when are you giving us the watches? I can't wait!"
But Elbert shook his head slightly, "When did I say I was giving away the watches for free?"
"Huh?"
"What's going on!"
The investment managers looked at each other, "We can pay for them!"
"It's not about money."
Elbert smiled: "Time is tight and tasks are heavy. I'm setting up a game rule for you!"
"Each of you starts by acquiring small stores. Acquire one store, get one point. Collect 300 points, and you can exchange them with me for a watch. Only then can you consider acquiring chain stores! And the number of those chain stores is also worth one point each!"
"Ah, this..."
"We have to level up?"
The investment managers felt like they had energy but nowhere to use it!
Elbert paced slowly, "I suggest you plan well. If you want to swallow up a chain store, you need to set up an ambush around it first."
These investment managers were also quite sharp and instantly understood what Elbert meant!
Their eyes lit up!
Elbert's plan was both crazy and methodical, well-prepared, one step leading to another!
"As the old saying goes, with enough rewards comes enough motivation."
Elbert said slowly: "These points won't go to waste either. After we complete the first phase of our goal, each point can be exchanged for $10,000 cash as your bonus!"
What?
One point equals ten thousand dollars?
The room exploded!
"I'm going to acquire 500 stores!"
"I'm going to acquire 1,000!"
"I'm going to acquire 5,000!"
"Wavehaven is mine!"
"Nobody fight me, Celestria City is mine!"
Nearly a hundred investment managers went absolutely crazy and could barely contain themselves!
"Boss, when does the meeting end!"
"I can't wait anymore!"
Elbert smiled slightly and slowly said, "Now."
Boom!
The scene erupted in chaos!
Nearly a hundred investment elites grabbed their briefcases and instantly rushed toward the door!
"You guys... wait... oh well... forget it!"
Elowen came to Elbert's side, "Mr. Perry, that move of yours was really brilliant."
Elbert still had his hands behind his back, "How so?"
Elowen sighed: "You first threw out the big prize of chain stores, then suppressed their enthusiasm and made them go acquire small stores."
"Their eyes are all red now!"
"You also transmitted this crazy spending mindset to them. Haven't they all become wild horses?"
"I believe the speed of small store acquisitions will be surprisingly fast!"
"Then those big stores will quickly be surrounded and have no choice but to surrender!"
"The investment managers will also gain experience, and with the business sandbox's help, taking down the big stores is just a matter of time!"
"Before long, all the physical stores in Veridiania will be yours!"
Elbert smiled slightly, "It's not good if they all become mine. For those large physical stores, we'll keep their signs, probably in the format of 'So-and-so Store + TO', upgrade their existing technology, and add humanoid robots."
"I understand that."
Elowen sighed again, "But do you know how much work is behind all this?"
"We can't just acquire every store we see. We need to evaluate and assess their value."
"We also need to mobilize funds, and Melissa's side needs to keep up with robot production..."
"And also..."
Before Elowen could finish, Elbert interrupted her.
"That's why I'm so lucky to have your help."
Elbert gently removed the watch from his hand and placed it on Elowen's wrist, "This business sandbox will help you complete a lot of work."
This gesture of putting on the watch made Elowen blush!
She looked at this brilliant and wise man before her.
And sighed inwardly.
Would she ever escape from his grasp?
