I meet, I get to Minnesota, the entire top floor of the law firm, Target's law firm, the entire management team of the Target Corporation is there.
They have 20 different conference rooms with lawyers in each room.
And
the head of HR and the head of logistics and the head of technology, you know, all these different groups.
And we've spent four days, four and a half days negotiating a purchase agreement, going from room to room to room, me and two guys and them with 50 people.
And by Friday at noon, we had a completed purchase agreement and they had a board meeting at target on Monday for two $900 million checks wires.
One on the day of closing and one 90 days later.
And so I fly back to my office.
I'm in my office.
It's Friday at five o'clock.
The phone rings.
My secretary comes in back when that's how it worked.
And I had the CEO of Walmart and the CEO of Walmart International on the phone.
They wanted to talk to me.
So I'm like, all right, here it comes.
They figured it out.
By the way, they both have spies on each other's companies.
You can't believe what really goes on.
Really?
For sure.
