▍原文 Toshifumi Suzuki, the man credited with transforming 7-Eleven into a worldwide convenience store empire, has died at the age of 93. He pioneered an advanced, data-driven inventory system that tracked customer buying behaviour in real time. This hyper-efficient system minimised waste while ensuring freshness.
