Chapter 1405

Seattle, Washington.

The last time Andy came here, or to check his private plane interior renovation plan, just after a short stop, he left soon.

This time, he needs to stay here for a few days, so that he can better straighten out the Starbucks company after becoming the chairman of the board.

Although he is not good at specific operation, he is willing to delegate power to his professional managers, but the first prerequisite is that Andy Smith can easily take full control of the company.

Financial affairs, personnel and strategic direction are all the key parts that he can use. Professional managers are just tools for him to control the company, but not to give priority to customers.

At Tacoma International Airport in Seattle, the Boeing 747 taxied slowly and stopped at the hangar of the private apron. The waiting ladder car quickly connected to the engine room door.

"Boo - Boo!"

The engine room door opens, the bodyguard goes first, Andy and Lima are ruddy, with a natural expression on their face. Their lips are cocked up to meet the sweet smile.

Andy's mouth is also cocked up, reaching for her slim waist, and carefully supporting Lima, who is stepping on the seven part heel boots. It's really effective to go down in one shot. The body is more loyal than the brain, and the body won't cheat.

Seattle, known as the "Emerald City", is a romantic city with unique advantages, green mountains, lakes, harbors and rivers, warm climate, such as the four seasons of spring.

In the United States and other parts of the world, almost no other city can be found, like Seattle, where mountains and plains are covered with dense, almost primitive forests. Inside and outside the city are decorated with quiet harbors, rivers, green trees and colorful streets.

The time to come here is more abundant and the mood is more comfortable. Andy holds Lima and looks at the outside scenery through the window. It's noon, full of brilliant sunshine. The landing glass on the distant high-rise reflects colorful light, spreads to the sky, and puts a thin veil on the surrounding buildings.

"Although the temperature is not high, the sunshine here is really brilliant!" Andy likes the sunny weather. Lima is a little lazy in Andy's arms. She just has enough to eat and drink. She wants to find a place to sleep.

See Lima didn't take care of themselves, Andy is also helplessly left his mouth, the team quickly drove into the bustling city center, four seasons hotel door, Andy alone in the bodyguard's embrace, presidential suite housekeeper with a smile led into the bright and luxurious hall.

The motorcade turned a corner into the underground parking lot, Lima with sunglasses sat on the VIP ladder to the floor of the presidential suite under the escort of four bodyguards. She didn't feel any negative emotions such as suffocation when she didn't walk with Andy.

There used to be, but at this time Lima is very clear, forcing Andy will only make the distance between the two people more and more far, more and more estrangement, and eventually will lose Andy.

She had never planned to leave Andy, and she was ready to get pregnant. From the age of 10, when she became a model, she could go to the present step by step, and return to Andy, not to mention reading into the world, at least she was not silly Bai Tian.

Andy has feelings for her, and she also loves Andy. After giving birth to a child, the fetters of feelings will be unbreakable. Even if the hostess of the house has other people, how about that? In the next few decades, who can guarantee that he is the last one to laugh!

"Ding!"

The golden elevator door opened. Lima stepped on the carpet with the big long Tui and led by the bodyguards. He walked into the presidential suite with both doors open, threw his handbag onto the sofa, took off his sunglasses, and looked at Andy standing in front of the floor to enjoy the scenery.

"I'm going to lie down for a while. I feel sleepy..." Lima took off his coat and put it on the back of the sofa. Without waiting for Andy to say anything, Lima went through the wall of the load-bearing compartment and into the master bedroom.

Looking at the red flame picture flashing on the black screen of the electronic fireplace, I sat at the edge of Chuang, stripped my clothes three times, five times and two times, opened the red silk quilt, lay down and covered it, yawned and closed my eyes.

Andy shakes his head and laughs, looking at the whole process. He is very satisfied with the sleeping habit of LV, which is not affected by himself. He bends down and picks up the clothes Lima throws on the carpet at will, puts them on the rest bench aside, finds a switch on the wall, presses it, slowly closes the curtains, and the light in the bedroom suddenly darkens.

"Thank you." Lima closed his eyes, slightly cocked his mouth, and muttered.

Andy stooped over Lima's cheek and kissed him. Then he turned around and walked out of the master bedroom. He took the door with him, went to the table in the living room, picked up the phone, pressed the number one key, and informed the housekeeper to prepare lunch for himself. As for Lima, when do you wake up and eat it.

After a big lunch, it was mainly American cooking. However, because Seattle has high-quality cold water area, the oysters here are really fresh and delicious. Lemon like clam with caviar, baked Nai cheese and other Seattle specialties are also very delicious.

In the afternoon, Andy sits on the boss's chair, facing the laptop and moving the mouse from time to time, beside him is a cup of steaming coffee and a plate of coconut Nai oil pie.Andy is checking this period of time. The financial staff and legal staff he sent to Starbucks have respectively submitted their reports to him by HR observers.

It's no doubt that there will be many troubles in forcibly acquiring a company. After all, it's not an enterprise founded by itself. Andy, who is used to talking, is very upset about the exclusion of Starbucks management.

Andy's acquisition did not change the reality that Starbucks was facing the deterioration of its financial situation and the collapse of its stock price at this time. Around the core spirit of the enterprise, Starbucks had to make major changes and transformation from the outside to the inside, and conform to the development trend of the times.

Rebirth means profound change. The road of Starbucks' rebirth is bound to be painful.

Put business back to the root, focus on the best things, provide the best products or services, and do everything possible to improve customer experience. Around products, brands and channels, we have created a new model of enterprise development that cannot be copied.

The reform plan put forward by the think tank has many similarities with what the Starbucks management headed by Howard Schulz is doing now, but it is more comprehensive and in-depth.

Now the management group must change. I believe that he can reach a consensus with Howard Schulz. Howard, who returns to Starbucks, has been replacing the original management by slowly changing the way.

However, Howard, who can't speak his mind, can only nibble away at the premise of not arousing the opposition of major shareholders, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of Starbucks reform.

Before tomorrow's board meeting, Andy has decided to meet Howard Schultz in the evening. Howard's feelings for Starbucks, his understanding of the coffee industry and his operation ability are all top in the industry.

Andy will not break his arm and kick Howard Schulz out of the game in order to fully control the power of Starbucks. This is not the result he wants. Frankly speaking, he bought Starbucks to make money, and Howard can make money for him.

Of course, the head of an important department must be replaced by his own person. Even if Andy is willing to delegate power to Howard Schulz, it is also the premise of keeping power in the cage.

Around 2 p.m., Lima, sleepy and wrapped in a thick white nightgown, walked out of the master bedroom barefoot, came behind Andy, hugged his neck from behind, and kissed him on the cheek.

"Good afternoon, dear."

Andy smiled and turned to look at Lima Haitang's languid and beautiful appearance after she went to bed. His face became more and more red and bright. He clapped his backhand on her buttons and laughed: "go wash, wake up, and call the housekeeper if you want. I'll go to the next room and have a meeting with my hands later."

"Well, I'll order a meal first, then I'll take a bath, cackle. Do you want to come along..." Lima lies on Andy's back, sticks it to his ear and flirts with him. Finally, he doesn't forget to blow two mouthfuls of fragrance.

"Pa!"

"Don't make any noise!" Andy didn't get angry. After him, the fox Jing's buttons said, "there's still a week to go. Don't worry. I can eat three meals in two days to make you fully satisfied. As long as you're not afraid to make it."
