Leonard Riggio, Managing Director of the versatile New Yorker Buchhandlung Barnes & Noble, an empire power, and then his sister, who brought Amazon with his Erodieren, has been dead for 83 years.

“Why am I the Raubtier?” Leonard Riggio has brought the Barnes & Noble bookstore in the US to light with lust and the skepticism of the book industry of the gegenüber geen brein.

It was thought that the Buchhandlung was new. Leonard Riggio has the power at Barnes & Noble, a man who is fully stuffed under the deck in a place in a Warenhaus, during the war in the Wohnzimmer. With a fläche, a wide selection of snacks, discounts and best sellers, and also: with purchases from Schmökern and Verweilen, with good coffee, snacks, a wide selection of newspapers and newspapers, with stylish paper goods and – very important – with fresh open toilets. «If I lived like that once in a while,» says Riggio, «I wouldn’t have experienced anything like that.»

The Concept has the task of using the Initiator Market Power. Leonard Riggio, Italian-American from Brooklyn, the democrat and the unterstützer will have philanthropic anlies, but now there are also smaller murderers scoffed. Part of the same people, who in years past as Bollwerk against Amazon solled.

“Why am I the Raubtier? If there is a net accounting that has a Filiale affair, you want to know who a Messiah is?” Riggio calls one of the “Wall Street Journal”. “I have discovered that a new accounting has been carried out, which has been taken up by my herkunft.”

Leonard Riggio was born in 1941 and lived in Brooklyn. Seine Mutter is Schneiderin, the taxi driver and the most evil Boxer, who besieges the Rocky Graziano hat in Madison Square Garden. If you take a taxi to the airport, it is worth going to the sidewalk.

Leonard began high school in the university study program, where he studied metallurgy. Private is the most beloved comic strip, a lecture from the literary book of the literary magazine and was no longer viewed: Hermann Hesse, Thomas Mann, Albert Camus. Später bezeichnet Riggio Kafkas «Verwandlung» as his favorite book. After two years of high school, he began studying university accounting – and on the campus of a competing firm: SBX, Student Books Exchange. It is the time of the Vietnam War, and if the Left has the smallest Freunde on the copy machine of the Antikriegs-Flugblätter firm, it is vervielfältigen.

In 1971, Riggio bought the Buchhandlung Barnes & Noble in Manhattan with a Darlehen of 1.2 Million Dollars – and started his idea for an ideal atmosphere of relaxation. Riggio looks at the details and raises the annual income in the first 5 years from 1 to 10 million dollars. With blessings, Frau hat Riggio eine Tochter. Seine zweite Frau, Louise Gebbia, met der is his sister Tod zeeammen ist, lernt there to know, when he interviews as Editor in a Fachzeitschrift for Detailhandel zu seinem Erfolg. My heart has never been so long.

Barnes & Noble is expanding rapidly and throughout the country. Riggio once said, “My nationality is New York City.” But Dünkel is free. As a man in the industry above the sea Loading in the shopping malls of Provinz he said, “Who should New Yorker, the people in Lincoln, Nebraska, consult you? That’s a Witz.”

1993 brought Barnes & Noble to the stock exchange. Seine Angestellten is active with the Aktienopties. The image as a raubtierkapitaalist has had a trotzdem, is the image of Tom Hanks played book managers, in the film comedy «You’ve got Mail» Meg Ryan as Besitzerin a sympathetic quartierbuchladen of the Leben schwermacht. If the Director at a Mittagessen will be persuaded, to get through to Barnes & Noble, it is: There is a quarrel with the Ruf.

Bare mussels are oblivious to those who fall for their empire. 1995 Amazon sold the most popular purchase on the Internet platform. A new time began. A Riggio verschläft is: Seine digitalen Aktivitäten kommen veld zu spät. Barnes & Noble caused the E-Reader Nook to flop and cost a million dollars. 2002 tritt is als Geschäftsführer zurück, bleibt aber Vorsitzender der AG. Barnes & Noble has closed 150 branches, in 2019 with the Kette for 600 Million Dollars and a Hedge Fund sale – and the Verleger, who complained about Riggios Feilscherei, atmen auf: The collapse of Barnes & Noble would have been a catastrophe for the industry been.

Riggio worked on the Zeit nun in the Seiner Wohnung on Park Avenue in Manhattan or in the Seinen Häusern in Florida and in New York. There is a large amount of money on the spending gala, the same art – for a Häuser that adds up to a 300-ton Eisenplastik by Richard Serra –, under a new investigation into the Democratic parties, so who is a gross spender for Bill Clinton and as financial chief in the Wahlkampfteam of New York Mayor David Dinkins served hat. It is a question of money as the Capitalists have started, which means. «I look at and will be Gutes tun! If you buy a book, it is a one-time thing. «Wir verkaufen keine Massenvernichtungswaffen!»
