381: Summit begins

Finally, the group went to the La Prairie counter and bought a set of top-tier caviar skincare products for each of Su Qing and Su Ya, along with several bottles of limited-edition perfume... For Lei Ying, she bought a bottle of woody-scented perfume, which suited her steady temperament.

For Lei Yue, she bought several bottles of fruity-scented perfume.

Altogether, these skincare products and perfumes cost several hundred thousand dollars.

Throughout the process, Ms. Lei Jun was generous, never hesitating, and every item she chose was precise and appropriate.

The store clerks were stunned, secretly speculating about Ms. Lei Jun's identity; anyone who could shop with such a grand gesture and be so generous to those around them was definitely a top-tier billionaire.

Su Qing and Su Ya carefully held their items, afraid of damaging them.

Lei Ying silently helped carry the bags.

After shopping, Ms. Lei Jun checked the time and said, "That's about enough. Let's head back to the hotel. We'll rest well this afternoon, wander around Las Vegas tomorrow, and attend the Supplier Summit the day after."

Everyone nodded and happily took their bags back to the hotel by car.

Back in the hotel room, Ms. Lei Jun distributed the items to everyone, feeling satisfied as she watched their happy faces.

She leaned back on the sofa and browsed the news on her phone, seeing that news of her winning money at the Caesars Palace Casino casino was already online. Netizens were discussing it fervently; some speculated about her identity, some admired her gambling skills, and others even wanted to become her apprentice.

Ms. Lei Jun smiled and didn't take it to heart.

She could also visit the landmark buildings of Las Vegas and take some photos as souvenirs.

In the afternoon, Ms. Lei Jun and her group rested at the hotel for a few hours, then went for a stroll on the Las Vegas Strip in the evening.

The Strip was brilliantly lit with neon lights flashing, and various casinos, hotels, and shopping malls were lined up in a bustling scene.

Su Qing and Su Ya took photos as they walked; Lei Ying remained inseparable from Ms. Lei Jun's side, vigilantly observing the surroundings to ensure there were no security risks.

After walking for over an hour, the group found a top-tier restaurant for dinner and then returned to the hotel to rest... On the third day, they packed their things and headed to the venue of the Supplier Summit.

The Supplier Summit hosted by Walmart this time was massive. There were so many suppliers that the headquarters couldn't accommodate them, so they specifically rented the largest convention center in Las Vegas—the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.

When the car arrived at the entrance of the convention center, Ms. Lei Jun and her group got out.

Ms. Lei Jun was somewhat surprised.

The outside of the convention center was filled with flowers—red roses, white lilies, tulips, and other precious flowers were interwoven to form beautiful flower walls... A long red carpet was laid at the entrance, extending all the way into the interior of the convention center.

Huge billboards were placed on both sides, printed with the Walmart logo and the theme of the Supplier Summit. Many staff members in uniform were enthusiastically guiding the guests inside.

Stepping inside the convention center, it was even more luxurious.

A massive crystal chandelier hung in the center of the hall, radiating light and illuminating the entire space.

The surrounding walls were hung with photos of Walmart's development history and its global stores, as well as promotional posters for many partner brands.

The interior of the venue was divided into multiple areas: the main hall, negotiation area, exhibition area, lounge area, etc. Each area was decorated exquisitely and grandly.

In the main hall, the stage was built magnificently. The backdrop was blue, printed with the words "Walmart Global Supplier Summit," along with the Walmart logo and a globe pattern, symbolizing global cooperation... Greg was already waiting at the entrance of the convention center. Seeing Ms. Lei Jun and her group, he immediately walked forward and said respectfully, "Ms. Lei, you're here! Everything is ready, just waiting for you."

He was very nervous. This summit was Ms. Lei Jun's first public appearance after becoming the absolute controlling shareholder of Walmart; it had to be perfect, without any mistakes.

Ms. Lei Jun nodded and said calmly, "Thank you for your hard work."

She observed the layout of the venue as she walked, feeling very satisfied.

Greg had indeed put in a lot of effort. The venue was decorated both solemnly and grandly, fully reflecting Walmart's strength and making the suppliers feel valued.

While guiding Ms. Lei Jun to the lounge area, Greg reported in a low voice, "Ms. Lei, this summit has invited core suppliers from all over the world, over five hundred in total, covering food, daily necessities, electronic products, automobiles, and other fields. The overseas Persons in Charge for BYD, Xiaomi, and Alibaba have also arrived and are waiting for you in the negotiation area."

Ms. Lei Jun said, "Good. I'll go say hello to them before the summit begins."

She thought to herself that she could use this summit to push BYD, Xiaomi, and Alibaba products into Walmart's global channels.

She had to coordinate with them in advance to ensure the cooperation could proceed smoothly.

After resting in the lounge area for about ten minutes, the summit was about to begin. Greg walked onto the stage, picked up the microphone, cleared his throat, and spoke.

"Distinguished supplier friends, good morning! Welcome to this Walmart Global Supplier Summit. I am Greg Penner, the CEO of Walmart."

Warm applause rang out from the audience. The suppliers looked up at the stage, anticipating what was to come.

After the applause died down, Greg continued, "Today, I want to solemnly introduce an important guest. She is the absolute controlling shareholder of Walmart, holding 69% of Walmart's shares, and is also the major shareholder of three trillion-dollar companies: Alibaba, Xiaomi, and BYD—Ms. Lei Jun!"

Greg's voice rose a bit, his tone full of admiration and awe. "Ms. Lei is only 18 years old this year. She is a gifted business genius and a legendary figure!"

She has not only achieved brilliant success in the business field, controlling four trillion-dollar enterprises, but also possesses god-like gambling skills. Yesterday at Caesars Palace Casino casino, she easily defeated the world gambling champion Antonio and won 700 million dollars!"

Ms. Lei Jun didn't expect Greg's information to be so up-to-date; he already knew about her winning money at the casino.

The audience instantly erupted into an uproar. The suppliers were stunned and began to discuss fervently.

Greg waited for everyone to quiet down and continued.

"Ms. Lei is young and promising, with strategic vision and decision-making abilities far beyond her peers. In the future, under Ms. Lei's leadership, Walmart will open a new chapter of development, working hand-in-hand with all suppliers to create brilliance together!"

Now, let us welcome Ms. Lei Jun to the stage with the warmest applause!"

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience. The suppliers craned their necks, wanting to see what this legendary young girl actually looked like.
