v3 Chapter 773： 0 sales giant (1/2)

Seeing Reagan appearing, Xia Yu was happy.

Although Reagan does not have public office now, and some are just the identity of the head of charity organizations, his handsome appearance, popularity of past stars, and his achievements as governor of California have all added a lot of highlights to his campaign.

If he can run as the governor of California, he will definitely have an advantage.

But unfortunately, California is now the Democratic Party's territory. The current Governor Jerry Brown is a Democrat. He is currently stirring up trouble in California, hoping to break the siege and win the Democratic nomination.

Although Xia Yu is now rooted in San Francisco, California, he also expressed his powerlessness.

California is the territory of the California consortium, and the California consortium now ranks among the top ten consortiums in the United States, and it happens to support the Democratic Party, so in fact, California is the traditional voting warehouse of the Democratic Party.

Even in the ten years when Reagan was governor of California from 1964 to 1974, he did not win this vote for the Republican Party. What's more, now Jerry Brown has re-run for the Democratic Party for six years?

In this situation, if Xia Yu ran out to wave the flag to Reagan, he would only look for bad luck.

Fortunately, Reagan himself performed well and was quite upbeat, and won the attention of many Republican leaders.

The Reagan campaign was on a better track than in the original history, and Xia Yu was relieved. He put it aside for the time being and continued to worry about his career.

Five days later, the New York branch of Polaris Capital finally officially set sail, and Peter Lynch also flew to New York from San Francisco.

”Peter, how was the company situation during the time I left?”

Peter Lynch rushed to the office of Polaris Capital Company in a hurry, and Xia Yu asked after he had a rest.

Peter Lynchhui reported: ”Boss, the company is doing well. Now the number of employees has reached 152... The acquisition plan for Abbott has been made, and now I have brought it here to implement it. In addition, there has been some progress in the retail industry.”

”Boss, this is a preliminary screening target after collecting business intelligence. It will be handed over to the New York branch for further analysis. There is also an acquisition plan for Abbott. Can you see, what instructions do you have?”

With that, Peter Lynch took out the materials prepared by the company from his briefcase and handed it to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu glanced, put Abbott’s acquisition plan aside, and looked at another document first.

When he was in San Francisco before, Xia Yu had an in-depth conversation with Peter Lynch, and stated the direction of the first phase of Polaris Capital's investment, that is, biomedicine, high-tech and retail industries.

Of course, Xia Yu's often sudden thoughts are another matter. Follow Xia Yu's instructions to complete them according to the situation.

In the field of biopharmaceuticals, Genentech has already invested, and Amgen has also been established, and the acquisition plan for Abbott, the target company, has also been made. It is now coming, so it is now formal.

In the high-tech field, the Bridgewater Fund and the Tiger Fund are already helping. Xia Yu has already told Peter Lynch to let him not worry about it for the time being.

As for the retail sector, Home Depot can only be said to be a surprise. When Xia Yu left San Francisco, Polaris Capital had not yet settled in the retail sector.

Reading through the materials, more and more information entered Xia Yu's mind.

In the U.S. retail market at this time, there are many national giants, such as Dayton Hudson (the predecessor of Target, renamed Target in 2001), Kmart, Woolworth, Penney, etc. It is a first-class retail giant with a lot of market share.

However, behind these established or newly emerging retail giants are major consortia, and they have all entered into this increasingly prosperous industry.
