I knew something was crazy because Walmart had never, ever come to visit me.

You always went to Bentonville.

They never came to visit you.

And here they were coming to New York to visit me.

So they came and they said, Richard, we hear that you're negotiating a deal with Target to buy Zellers.

You remember Zellers well.

Yeah.

and Zeller's was like 400 stores of kind of like the Kmart of Canada.

And I said- It is the Kmart of Canada.

It was the Kmart of Canada.

So I said to him, well, I can't really discuss that with you, but why would you want it?

You have all those stores.

He said-

obtusely was we want to keep target out of Canada so we can own all of Canada and we'll take all the stores.

So he said, well, how much do you want for it?

I said, I would like a $2.2 billion.

So what are you talking about?

You just bought the entire company.

This is the crap.
