382: The summit concluded successfully.

Lei Jun straightened her clothes and slowly walked onto the stage.

Today, she wore a pink haute couture tube dress, the hem encrusted with tiny crystals that shimmered under the lights.

Her long pink hair fell naturally, the ends slightly curled, making her skin appear as white as snow.

Her features were exquisite, with brows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn waters, and lips like cherries—she looked like a goddess stepped out of a painting.

On her ears, she wore the star river dreamscape earrings worth tens of millions, the diamonds dazzling like a sky full of stars.

Around her neck was the "star of the ocean" sapphire necklace, also worth tens of millions; the sapphire's color was deep and its texture transparent, exuding nobility and elegance.

The moment Lei Jun stepped onto the stage, the audience fell silent. Everyone was stunned by her beauty and aura. It took a few seconds before thunderous applause and gasps of admiration erupted again.

The suppliers began to whisper among themselves.

"My god! This is too beautiful! She's simply a goddess descended to earth!"

"This is the big boss who holds shares in four trillion-dollar companies? She's only 18? To be so beautiful and so powerful... what kind of divine being is she!"

"That sapphire necklace is incredible; you can tell it's worth a fortune just by looking at it. And those earrings—they're practically blinding me!"

"Not only is she beautiful, but her gambling skills are so formidable that she won seven hundred million US dollars? That's amazing!"

"We must make sure to flatter Ms. Lei in the future. If we can cooperate with her, our company won't have to worry about development anymore!"

"Her aura is just too good. She's more beautiful than those Hollywood stars. Beautiful, rich, and capable—she's truly a winner in life!"

"I didn't expect Walmart's new controlling shareholder to be such a stunning goddess. This summit was definitely worth coming to!"

Various exclamations of wonder intertwined, reflecting the shock and admiration of the suppliers.

Lei Jun stood on the stage with a calm expression. Facing the gaze of the crowd, she wasn't nervous at all; instead, she carried a powerful presence, as if she were born to stand on such a stage.

Once the applause died down, Lei Jun picked up the microphone and began to speak slowly.

"Hello, supplier friends! I am Lei Jun. It is an honor to meet everyone here, and I thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend this Walmart Global Supplier Summit."

Her gaze swept across the audience as she continued.

"As a global retail giant, Walmart has been committed for many years to providing consumers with high-quality, convenient, and affordable products and services. This would not be possible without the support and cooperation of all our suppliers."

"On behalf of Walmart, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all of you!"

Enthusiastic applause rang out once more.

After the applause subsided, Lei Jun continued.

"The main purpose of today's summit is to discuss Walmart's future development direction with you, deepen our cooperation, and achieve mutual benefit..."

When Lei Jun finished her speech, the audience erupted in warm applause.

The suppliers were very excited and expressed their willingness to deepen their cooperation with Walmart.

One supplier raised their hand to ask: "Ms. Lei, may I ask if we small and medium-sized suppliers will have more opportunities for cooperation in the future?"

Lei Jun said with a smile: "Of course. Walmart will not only cooperate with large suppliers. We will also give more opportunities to small and medium-sized suppliers. As long as your product quality is up to standard and competitive, we are willing to work with you and grow together."

Subsequently, several other suppliers asked questions, and Lei Jun answered them all patiently. Her thinking was clear and her tone firm, demonstrating extreme professional ability and strategic vision.

The suppliers were completely won over. No one questioned Lei Jun's ability anymore, and they all expressed their willingness to follow Walmart's lead and deepen their cooperation.

Halfway through the summit, Lei Jun invited the overseas Persons in Charge of BYD, Xiaomi, and Ali onto the stage to discuss cooperation details together.

The three parties reached a preliminary consensus on issues such as product introduction, channel layout, and logistics distribution, and signed letters of intent for cooperation.

The suppliers in the audience saw all of this, further solidifying their determination to cooperate with Walmart.

During the summit, many suppliers took the initiative to approach Lei Jun to discuss cooperation, wanting to introduce their products into Walmart's channels.

Lei Jun received each of them. Based on the characteristics and competitiveness of their products, she gave corresponding suggestions. For high-quality products, she arranged for Greg to handle the follow-up cooperation matters on the spot.

Just as the summit was in full swing, a familiar figure appeared at the entrance of the venue. It was John, the owner of Caesars Palace Casino, with Antonio following behind him.

The dejection on Antonio's face from yesterday was gone, replaced by a bit of calmness and awe.

When John saw Lei Jun, he immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "Ms. Lei, I didn't expect to see you here. You are truly young and promising, quite admirable."

Lei Jun glanced at him and said indifferently: "Hello."

John suggested: "Ms. Lei, I know you are the controlling shareholder of Walmart. Our casino also has many peripheral products. I wonder if there's an opportunity to cooperate with Walmart and introduce our products into your channels?"

If they could cooperate with Walmart, it would not only enhance the casino's reputation but also increase revenue; it was a guaranteed profitable deal.

Lei Jun said: "You can talk to Mr. Greg about this. As long as your products meet the requirements, cooperation is not a problem."

She didn't want to agree directly, as cooperation required investigating product quality and competitiveness; it was most appropriate to let Greg handle it.

John quickly thanked her: "Thank you, Ms. Lei! I will go find Mr. Greg right away. Then we won't disturb you any further. I wish you a successful summit!"

After saying that, he left with Antonio to find Greg and discuss the cooperation.

The summit lasted all day and concluded successfully in the evening.

This summit was a huge success. Walmart signed cooperation agreements with multiple suppliers and finalized preliminary cooperation plans with BYD, Xiaomi, and Ali, laying a solid foundation for future development.

The suppliers all returned fully satisfied, filled with expectations for Walmart's future and awe for the young controlling shareholder, Lei Jun.

After the summit ended, Greg hurried to find Lei Jun and said excitedly: "Ms. Lei, this summit was too successful! It was even better than we expected. We signed over twenty cooperation agreements, and many more suppliers expressed interest in cooperating."

Lei Jun nodded and said calmly: "Very good. I'll leave the follow-up cooperation matters to you. Be sure to push forward the cooperation with BYD, Xiaomi, and Ali as quickly as possible. Also, the cooperation with Mr. John's casino needs to be investigated and coordinated soon."

"Understood, Ms. Lei! I will definitely implement it as soon as possible," Greg quickly responded.

Lei Jun said: "I'll leave things here to you. I'm taking a private jet back home tomorrow. If there are any follow-up issues, call me and report them in a timely manner."

Greg: "Yes, Ms. Lei!"
