Seattle, Washington.

The last time Andy came here, he was to check out his private jet's internal renovation plan, but after a brief stop, he quickly left.

This time, he needs to stay here for a few days so that he can better streamline Starbucks after he becomes chairman.

Although he is not good at specific operations and is willing to delegate power to his professional managers, the first thing he needs is that Andy Smith can easily control the company completely.

The key parts of finance, personnel, and strategic direction can be like a hand. Professional managers are just tools for him to control the company, and cannot turn the tables.

At Seattle Tacoma International Airport, Boeing 747 slowly glided and parked next to the hangar of the private apron. The ladder truck that had been waiting for was quickly connected to the cabin door.

"Swish-bang!"

The cabin door opened, the bodyguards went first, Andy and Lima, who looked rosy and naturally showed a flying expression on her face, her mouth was upturned, and her sweet smile was very charming.

Andy also raised her lips and held her slender waist with her hand in her slender waist. She carefully held the Lima who was wearing seven-point boots. She had a miraculous effect after one needle. The body was more loyal than the brain, and the body would not lie.

Seattle is a romantic city known as the "Emerald City". It is uniquely decorated with green mountains, lakes, harbors and rivers, a warm climate, like the four seasons of spring.

Whether in the United States or elsewhere in the world, there is almost no second city that can be found like Seattle, with mountains and flat grounds covered with dense, almost pristine forests. The city is decorated with quiet harbors, rivers, green trees, and colorful street markets.

This time I had more time and felt more comfortable. Andy hugged Lima and looked at the scenery outside through the car window. It was noon and the sun was filled with bright sunshine. The floor-to-ceiling glass on the high building in the distance reflected colorful light, scattered towards the sky, covering the surrounding buildings with a thin layer of veil.

"Although the temperature is not high, the sunshine here is really bright!" Andy likes this kind of sunny weather. Lima leans lazily in Andy's arms. She just had enough food and drink, and what she most wanted was to find a place to rest on her sleep.

Seeing that Lima ignored her, Andy also curled her lips helplessly. The convoy quickly drove into the bustling city center. At the entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel, Andy was surrounded by bodyguards. The female butler in the presidential suite walked into the bright and luxurious hall with a smile on her face.

The convoy turned a corner and entered the underground parking lot. Lima, wearing sunglasses, sat on the VIP ladder directly to the floor of the presidential suite under the escort of four bodyguards. She did not feel any negative feelings about not being with Andy.

There were some in the past, but Lima knew very well at this time that forcing Andy would only make the distance between the two farther and farther, and the gap between them would become more and more, and eventually lose Andy.

She had never planned to leave Andy, and was ready to get pregnant. From becoming a model in her 10s, she could get to this point step by step and return it to Andy. Not to mention the love of the world, at least she is not stupid.

Andy has feelings for her, and she also loves Andy. After giving birth to a child, the bonds of love will be unbreakable. Even if the hostess has other people, so what? There are still decades in the future, who can guarantee that she will be the one who will laugh to the end!

'bite!'

The golden elevator door opened, and Lima moved the long pair of big tui stepping on the carpet under the guidance of the bodyguards, quickly walked into the presidential suite where both doors were open, threw his handbag on the sofa, took off his sunglasses, and looked at Andy who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and enjoying the scenery.

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

Looking at the red flame flashing on the black screen of the electronic fireplace, I sat down to the edge of the fire, took off all my clothes, lifted up the red silk quilt, lay down and covered it, yawned, and closed my eyes.

Andy shook his head and laughed. He watched the whole process. He was very satisfied with his sleeping habit that was not affected by his own influence. He bent down and picked up the clothes that Lima threw on the carpet one by one, put them on the rest bench bench beside him, found a switch on the wall, pressed it, and the curtains slowly closed, and the light in the bedroom suddenly dimmed.

"Thank you." Lima closed her eyes, raised her lips slightly, and muttered.

After bent down and kissed Lima on the cheek, Andy turned around and walked out of the master bedroom, took the door with her, walked to the table in the living room and picked up the phone, pressed the No. 1 button, notifying the female housekeeper to prepare lunch for herself. As for Lima, when will she wake up and eat again.

I had a hearty lunch, mainly American cooking, but because Seattle has high-quality cold water, the oysters here are really fresh and delicious. Lemon geoduck with caviar, grilled nai cheese and other Seattle specialties are also very delicious.

In the afternoon, Andy sat in the boss's chair, facing the laptop, moving the mouse from time to time, next to it was a cup of steaming espresso and a plate of coconut nai oil pie.

Andy was checking this time during this period. The financial personnel, legal personnel sent to Starbucks, and the reports submitted to him by the hr observers.

Forced acquisition of a company will cause a lot of trouble, and there is no doubt that this is not a company founded by oneself. Andy, who is used to being a man of a man, is very unhappy with the xenophobics of Starbucks' management, which has its own system.

Andy's acquisition did not change the reality of Starbucks' deterioration in financial situation and stock price plummeting at this time. It has made major changes from the outside to the inside around the core spirit of the company, and transformed, and adapted to the development trend of the times, becoming a reality that Starbucks must face.

Rebirth means profound change. Starbucks' journey to rebirth must go through pain.

Return to the foundation of business, focus on what you are best at, provide the best products or services, and do everything possible to improve the customer experience. A new model of corporate development that cannot be replicated around products, brands and channels has been created.

The reform plan proposed by the think tank is similar to what the Starbucks management, led by Howard Schultz, is now doing, but it is more comprehensive and in-depth.

The current group of management must change. I believe he can reach a consensus with Howard Schultz. Howard, who returned to Starbucks, has been replacing the original management through slowly changing methods.

However, Howard, who was unable to achieve a one-man show, could only slowly erode without arousing opposition from major shareholders, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of Starbucks' reform.

Before the board of directors arrives tomorrow, Andy has decided to meet Howard Schultz in private in the evening. Howard's feelings for Starbucks, his understanding of the coffee industry and his operational capabilities are among the top in the industry.

Andy won't cut off his own arms. He kicked Howard Schultz out in order to completely control Starbucks' power. This is not the result he wants. To put it bluntly, he acquired Starbucks for money, and Howard can make money for him.

Of course, the supervisor of an important department must be replaced by his own people. Even if Andy is willing to delegate power to Howard Schultz, it is still on the premise of putting power in a cage.

At around 2 pm, Lima, sleepy-eyed and wrapped in a thick white nightgown, walked out of the master bedroom barefoot, came behind Andy, hugged her neck from behind, and kissed him on the cheek.

"Oh noon, my dear."

Andy smiled and turned to look at Lima Haitang's lazy and beautiful appearance after sleeping. Her pretty face became more and more rosy and bright. She patted her buttocks with her backhand and said, "Go and wash up, wake up, call the butler if you want to eat. I will go to the next room to have a meeting with my subordinates later."

"Well, I'll order food first, and then go take a bath. Huh, do you want to come together..." Lima lay on Andy's back, touched his ear and smirked and seduced her, and finally she didn't forget to sip her fragrant scent.

"Bang!"

"Don't make a fuss!" Andy beat him up in anger, and the fox jing's buttocks behind him, "There is still a week left next. Don't worry, I will fill you up every morning and evening. Don't worry. If you are not satisfied, I can also eat three meals in two days to make you fully fed, as long as you are not afraid of being over."
