The next day.

Wang Xiaoqiang appeared in Zhong Ping's villa in the United States. His son could leave and ran around the villa. Although he was not as strong as Xiaobao, he was as strong as Xiaobao, and he could speak and call him dad. Wang Xiaoqiang was very happy.

"Ping, I feel wronged," Wang Xiaoqiang felt guilty when he thought of seeing them less after Zhong Ping gave birth.

"What's wrong with me? I don't feel wronged at all. After having a son, I'm happier than before. I coaxed him, teased him every day, watched him grow up day by day, and worked hard for most of my life. It's really a rare day for a few days of leisure."

"But..." Zhong Ping's tone suddenly changed, "Xiaoqiang, because I haven't managed the supermarket during this period, something big happened..."

"What's wrong?" Wang Xiaoqiang's heart sank. Zhong Ping is his woman, and Zhong Ping's business is his Wang Xiaoqiang's business. Zhong Ping's industry will be his son's industry in the future. How can he not worry about it?

"Xiaoqiang, have you heard of an organization called the Dark Alliance?"

Wang Xiaoqiang shook his head, "I don't know, I only know the mafia..."

"Yes, it's an organization with similar nature to the Mafia. However, this dark alliance is even more terrifying than the Mafia. The dark alliance is composed of the ten major families in Europe and North America. This big thing is actually equivalent to a black club in the underground world. It is very powerful. It is said that even the Mafia dares to compete with it now. When encountering conflicts in interests, the Mafia must avoid them..."

"Uh, is that right?" Wang Xiaoqiang said with a relaxed and meaningless look.

"The Dark Alliance operates drug products, smuggling troops, privately builds mercenary corps... etc. In short, there is no such thing in the world that this organization dares not do. Sometimes they dare to attack a small country and turn those small countries into their colonies." Zhong Ping continued.

"Uh. Is that right?" Wang Xiaoqiang still looked calm and careless.

"And it is said that this Dark Alliance has won over some psychics, such as vampires, with superpowers, so it is difficult to deal with."

Zhong Ping continued.

Wang Xiaoqiang still looked as if he was careless. "Listen to your opinion, this dark alliance is going to deal with us?"

"Yes, the Dark Alliance organizes a very business, but the ten major families that are part of it run open business. For example, the George family in the United States runs retail industry. To be precise, the George supermarket chain of the George family used to be the largest supermarket in the United States. Now, our supermarkets are developing so rapidly that you have high-quality agricultural products, so now, the George supermarket is already squeezed by us and it is definitely a matter of breath if the George family wants to survive. They are a member of the Dark Alliance, and it is easy to deal with us. The reason why they dragged us until now is also considering the power of the mafia... "" Zhong Ping said.

Zhong Ping develops supermarkets in the United States. She relies entirely on Wang Xiaoqiang's agricultural products and Wang Xiaoqiang's power in the United States. Otherwise, she would have been hit hard by others.

Because the supermarket industry in the United States can be said to be the most developed in the world.

In 1945, after a brief economic recession from 1946 to 1947, the United States experienced rapid economic growth for 20 years and became the richest country in the world. In just a few years, two-thirds of American households reached the middle-income level and household expenditure income steadily increased.

By 1960, most American families had at least one or two private cars. From 1945 to 1957, the United States ushered in a peak of fertility, and population growth and economic takeoff created excellent conditions for the development of the retail industry. Another significant social change was that from the 1950s to 1960s, millions of American families left the East Coast and moved to the Midwest, causing the population to increase rapidly in the Midwest and the urbanization process to accelerate. At the same time, a large number of African Americans flocked to cities, while a large number of white people left the cities to live in suburbs, which was historically called "whiteflight".

The suburbs of the United States have developed rapidly, with various service facilities and shopping centers rising up, and the location of the supermarkets in the suburbs have found a real advantage. However, in order to meet the shopping needs of upper-level consumers, most supermarkets have begun to abandon cheap and low-end images, improve service quality and store decoration, and introduce other types of sales situations and more product types. By the end of the 1950s, supermarkets were no longer just grocery stores, but very similar to today's shopping centers.

Due to the above factors, the entire retail market in the United States was suddenly magnified from the late 1930s to the early 1950s, and endless virgin lands were waiting to be developed. Merchants expanded their territory frantically without worrying about competition in the same industry. At the same time, tens of thousands of chain stores were transformed into a more competitive supermarket model. Taking A&P as an example, it had 1,100 supermarkets in 1933, and grew to more than 4,000 in 1950.

However, in the 1950s, the growth space brought by revenue growth and suburban development to supermarkets was becoming more and more limited. Large supermarket chains have enjoyed economies of scale and are constantly keen on acquisitions. For small and medium-sized chains, mergers have become the only way to continue to grow. From 1949 to 1958, 58 American companies acquired a total of 415 retail chains, totaling 2,238 stores.

During this period, the US retail industry further concentrated. However, the federal government has always wanted to maintain market competition and in principle opposes the emergence of industry monopolists. Therefore, under the pressure of the antitrust bill, the wave of mergers in the retail industry weakened significantly in the 1960s.

During the 1960s, the middle class in the United States expanded, residents' purchasing power increased, suburbs were further developed, and the retail industry grew rapidly. The top three retailers, A&P, developed the fastest, while the former boss A&P was insufficiently motivated. The reason was that A&P did not follow the wave of expansion of large retailers in the 1950s.

So, if it weren't for Wang Xiaoqiang, Zhong Ping, developing the supermarket industry in the United States, would be overestimating her own abilities and seeking death.

"Well, it makes sense, that is, the Dark Alliance is against our supermarket, the opponent?" Wang Xiaoqiang said with a cold look.

"Yes, we have two remote supermarkets. One night, we were violently smashed and smashed at the same time. The violent people panicked and said, "We want us to get out of the United States... Otherwise, we won't be so cheap next time."

"Uh, that means that now they don't even have to consider the power of the mafia?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked.

"Yes, I think they can be replenished with more powerful forces, such as vampires, such as other forces..."

"Sister, the data of all parties in this quarter still has a downward trend. If this continues, we will only lose our lives..."
