Seattle.
There are still some clouds in the blue sky after the rain. However, due to the lack of water vapor in the clouds, white clouds are displayed. White clouds dotted in the blue sky, let the winter after the rain add a little poetic.
“。。。 I have always wanted to build and implement a new industrial line, which aims to provide coffee lovers with a "full sensory coffee environment". If the baking workshop is Disneyland in the coffee industry, then the Zhen Xuan shop scattered in the general stores around the world is Disneyland Toy Store. "
Andy, with sunglasses and a slight smile on his face, listened to Howard Schulz and strolled on a street near the first Starbucks store of Parker market that had just come the day before yesterday.
Dozens of bodyguards, with cool faces and Andy as the center, formed a protective ring to stop the reporters and passers-by taking photos with mobile phones from approaching the security atmosphere.
Hum -
listen to Howard's inner thoughts, point to Andy introduced to him by his surroundings, take out his mobile phone with two buzzing sounds from his trouser pocket, unlock it, click on his wasp, see the content of the message, can't help but a little stupefied, and soon smashed his lips, with a happy and satisfied smile on his face.
Looking at the picture sent by Han Caiying, Han is wearing a white silk nightdress, with fair skin and curly hair tail. Although she is sleeping, she still looks gentle and quiet, dignified and lovely. The face on one side can kill people. The outline is clear and the facial features are even more beautiful.
This is the doll itself, aesthetic is no longer the same is beautiful ah! It can be said that she is one of the women she wants in her dream.
Especially the mole on the nose. It doesn't affect her beauty at all, but it adds a sense of playfulness. It's probably because her temperament is too outstanding, so the defect is insignificant, but has a different flavor.
Xing sense and Qingchun are perfectly combined in Han Jia Ren. Especially the charm of the mature woman adds more charm.
Just looking at the too slim figure and the curve of the upper circumference, but with the beauty of this face, Yingying is just right. It gives people a delicate and incomparable feeling, which makes Andy want to hold in his arms for a good pity.
"Amazing perfection!" Andy can't help but exclaim in his heart. He is really looking forward to it. In a short time, he can enjoy the beauty to his heart's content. Naturally, such a top-notch beauty can't be put back to Bangzi country, or it's the best to stay around and play.
Seeing Andy take out his mobile phone to check, Howard Schulz stopped talking, and waited until Andy put his mobile phone into his pocket with a brighter smile, Howard continued to point to the destination of this trip.
"Here is the Volvo Car dealership with an area of 15000 square feet. If you turn this into a new experience space about Starbucks.
My idea is to move coffee beans from roasting to final extraction of coffee drinks. You can even hear the coffee beans sliding into the coffee bar through the overhead pipe.
It will definitely become another place for tourists to punch cards in Seattle, and people will come here to enjoy it
Andy looked at the Volvo Car dealership and smiled at Howard Schultz. "The place is not bad. Have you got the house information?"
"The real estate here belongs to a real estate trust called outlets. Last year, I was optimistic about this place. According to the rate of return on investment, net cash income, etc., the market price is about 6 million. However, the price of commercial real estate has fallen by more than 16%. At present, it needs about 5 million dollars.
It's just that the other side has four years' lease contract with this Volvo dealer, and the other side has no plan to sell it. "
At Howard's words, Andy just smiled. There are no goods in the world that are not for sale. If they are not for sale, they are just not in place.
1300 shops with more than one square meter are not expensive, but the price of Seattle's real estate bubble is less serious than that of BO. The price of
1300 is not so serious.
"Let's go. Let's go back first. Let's find out the specific price. We are looking for this real estate trust company to talk about the baking workshop's proposal. I support you."
Andy and Schultz turn to the side of the road to stop the motorcade, while the tone of the light said.
"We can't hand over the opportunity of the coffee market to other high-quality coffee representatives in the third coffee wave. We should lay out the high-end product line selected by Starbucks in advance, and play the business strategy in the field of fine coffee again, which is also the future of Starbucks. "
Howard Schultz smiled and looked at Andy, the young chairman, with a growing sense of identity.
To tell you the truth, Howard is very approbated for Andy Smith's business talent. He is helpless and admired for Andy's ability to enter Starbucks and occupy the position of chairman of the board with his strength. But to say how much attention and research the chairman has on Starbucks and coffee industry, he is really not optimistic about it. What he is most afraid of is the layman's leadership, and he also points at it Wave.But now, it seems that everything has been taken into consideration. Not only will he not conduct blindly, but also he has a great deal of talent. When he talks about the word "the third coffee wave", Howard Schultz knows that the young chairman in front of him has done a lot of homework and knowledge reserves. It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand it. As long as he is willing to learn, as expected, no one's success is accidental!
In the chairman's office of Starbucks headquarters, Andy is sitting in the boss's chair, looking at the documents in his hand, and opposite is the new chief financial officer of Starbucks, Ollin Smith.
"5.2 million dollars..." Andy frowns, taps his fingers on the desk, looks up and says, "make an appointment. We'll visit you in the afternoon!"
"I see, chairman." Ollin Smith replied without hesitation.
"Ha ha, how about living here?" Andy asked with a smile as he looked at his Smith cousin.
"It's not bad. The climate here is better than Texas. Hannah likes it." Ollin Smith smiled, not as serious as before and said in a relaxed voice.
"That's good. There's no way. Starbucks is a listed company after all. The key is that my shares are not more than 50%. Although I've been purchasing, they have been in a rebound period recently. The repurchase progress is slow. You need to help me buy back some from the hands of some store managers and employees. In terms of finance, I can only use my own people." Andy takes his coffee and laughs as he drinks it.
"In fact, I like this job very much. My previous days in the accounting firm were very boring." Ollin Smith really admire his cousin now. Of course, he used to feel sorry for him. After all, everyone thought he was abandoned. However, when we met again, he had grown to the point where these people can only look up to him. He was really impressed, not jealous like some people.
When old Smith suddenly called and told him that Andy was in need of him, he was also very surprised and shocked. You know, since Andy rose again, many people in the family wanted to follow him. Unfortunately, Andy didn't even pay attention, especially those who had laughed at Andy at the family party in Andy's downfall period No, so far, Justin Smith, who has a good relationship with Andy, and himself have entered his peripheral team.
In addition to his own ability, the main reason why Olin Smith can be seen by Andy is that he is honest, sincere and has never mocked Andy. Olin also knows that the main reason why he was chosen is that he didn't offend Andy.
"Is this commercial property purchased in the name of Starbucks or in the name of your real estate trust?"
Andy hears Ollin's question, puts down his coffee cup and raises his eyebrows. "Which one do you think is more suitable?"
"Real estate trust, when it comes time to sign a 10-15-year lease contract with Starbucks, it's the most cost-effective way to fight inflation risk or avoid taxes properly." Olin pondered and suggested.
"Ha ha, that's it!" Andy smiles and nods with satisfaction.
"The key is whether the other party will sell."
"Don't worry, I'll persuade them!" Andy's mouth is cocked up and his eyes are colorful and confident.
