The next morning, on the big cult in the master bedroom, Andy hugged Lima from behind, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows, she admired the vast sunrise views of Puget Sound and Elliott Bay in the Pacific Ocean.

The slowly flowing clear bo, the white ships floating on the sea, and the green jungle in the distance, form a quiet painting, and the poetic and picturesque meaning will never be removed for a long time.

The golden sunlight emits dazzling light and sprinkles on the blue bay. The light and shadow sway, the golden light flashes, and the beautiful scenery of the water and sky are suddenly amazing.

The sun shone through the glass into the bedroom, warming the two of them. Lima turned around and looked at Andy with beautiful eyes as silk, leaning in his arms and said softly: "I think you should get up and prepare now. After all, it is the key day for you to join Starbucks..."

"It's okay. Since you've knocked on the door, please invite me in and chat for a while. Don't worry, I'll be quicker and I'll be able to explain the matter soon..."

Andy hugged the feeling in her arms tightly, kissed her blushing cheeks a few times, and started an academic discussion with her...

"Hey, bring it, it depends on how hard you put on a tie!"

Lima, who was leaning against the sofa and drinking coffee, had no choice but to put down the coffee cup, stood up and walked to the cloak mirror, reached out to pull over the tie, and coquettishly reorganized Andy's shirt collar, put on the tie, tied the tie quickly, and carefully sorted out the shape, then turned off the white shirt collar.

Andy shrugged and smiled and helped him finish his tie, shirt collar, and put it on with a suit, making it easier for him to wear it. Lima smiled and said, "We are good at different things, just like I am good at drilling, you are good at zha juice...Ahem!"

"Bang!"

Lima reached out and slapped Andy Bear with a charming look on her face, and said coquettishly: "Your broken mouth is really annoying sometimes!"

Papa

Ignoring Andy, who was still acting, then Lima hit his buttoks twice and laughed and scolded: "Get out quickly, I'll go out shopping later..."

"I'm going to fight. Don't you kiss me and give me some encouragement?" Andy stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Lima's slender waist and smiled a little bit grumpyly.

"Pok~"

"It's OK now! Go quickly and conquer them!" Lima was also happy with Andy's greasiness. She smiled sweetly and kissed him in his mouth, holding Andy's cheek with both hands and encouraging him.

"Haha, the wonderful life really begins!"

Andy smiled proudly, and then gave Lima the same sweet smile a deep heart, and took firm steps to walk out of the presidential suite where both doors were already open.

"Smack it..."

"Thank you, thank you for your trust, thank you, thank you everyone..."

Andy smiled warmly on his face, applauded quietly and confidently, while urging to the directors and members of the three major committees in the conference room, and the Starbucks management nodded.

The warm applause was for the board of directors to pass the resolution of Andy Smith taking over as Starbucks chairman. Although everyone present knew that this was just a formality, because Andy's shares in Starbucks were nearly 50%, and soon, Starbucks will truly become his one-man show.

What does it mean to be rich and powerful? What does it mean to be a shortage of money...

Everyone present saw it from the young super rich man in front of him. He just used money to smash it, and everyone had no temper. Even Howard Schultz, the founder, who had first divided all his shares evenly in order to prevent this situation from happening, had to compromise and give in and crawl in front of the young man who was only 24 years old.

Andy sat in the empty boss chair on the conference table with a thrill of spirit. From now on, Starbucks, the world's largest coffee chain, was officially acquired by him!

"Please sit down, thank you for your enthusiasm..."

Andy smiled and reached out and made a downward gesture, letting everyone sit down, then looked around everyone in the conference room for a week, and everyone, including Howard Schultz, with a faint smile, turned their eyes to him.

"Starbucks, a great name, was born in Seattle and started with coffee beans. Since its official establishment in 1971, it has never advertised, but has become a giant coffee chain in nearly 40 years. Its rapid development legend has attracted global attention.

Starbucks not only fully interprets the miracle of the ugly duckling turning into a white swan, but also hides many moving stories behind it.

Its glory is better than me, and most people, even witnesses, do not need me to repeat it here.

At the same time, Starbucks' history condenses the history of economic globalization and may represent the global expansion trend of US companies.

For a long time, Starbucks has focused on expanding its business in North America. When it went public in 1992, we had 165 stores in North America. In 1996, the company first went out of North America and entered the foot basin market.

Then we entered the British market by acquiring competitor stores in 1998. In January 1999, we entered the Tianchao and opened our first store in Beijing Guomao. As of this year, we have more than 13,000 stores in 55 countries around the world…”

"Smack it..."

There was warm applause again in the conference room. Everyone thought the new chairman was admiring the glory of Starbucks, and Andy also smiled and nodded to everyone applauding, with a sneer in his heart.

The smile on Howard Schultz's face was also a bit far-fetched and perfunctory. He didn't expect that Andy Smith, a young man, was so decisive and decisive, because he knew that the other party's turn was about to come, and this turn also marked the official lifting of the butcher knife that killed the management.

"But our global expansion is not smooth. Schultz resigned from CEO in 2000, which seemed to be the beginning of the company's nightmare. During this period, the company was too radical and blindly expanded its storefront, resulting in low profit margins.

Last year, Starbucks single-store sales declined for the first time in many years, with sharp decline in customer traffic, falling profits, weak sales, and a sharp decline in investment market recognition. This year, the financial situation deteriorated more severely, and the stock price plummeted even more.

Fortunately, Starbucks' spiritual symbol Howard returned to the company and hosted Starbucks' rebirth.

Rebirth means profound change. Starbucks' path to rebirth is to return to the root of business, focus on what you are best at, provide the best products or services, and do everything possible to improve the customer experience.

In order to get rid of the downturn, Starbucks must survive in innovation and change and establish a more open and innovative corporate culture.

If an enterprise solidifies its thinking inertia, cannot accept new things and organizes rejection of learning, it will cause the enterprise to be eliminated by the market. Therefore, the strength of the enterprise's learning ability is related to the company's future competitiveness and determines the speed of change.

And management capabilities determine the height of change!

Speaking of leadership, it has different definitions in many different textbooks. One of the traits I think is underestimation is fragility, especially for men. It is generally difficult to imagine a man showing his vulnerability in front of a group of people, admitting his mistakes and apologizing.

Sorry, everyone, first of all, I’m sorry to you here. For the rebirth of Starbucks, we need some changes…”

At this time, even a fool knew that behind the warm smile of the newly appointed chairman was cold and decisive. He was ready to hold up his butcher knife to clean it on the first day, which was a bit unbelievable.

The originally relaxed atmosphere in the conference room was now like the space was completely frozen by the cold. Everyone's faces became pale and solemn, and some people were even more stunned. The style of painting changed too quickly.

Andy ignored everyone's reaction, turned to Howard Schultz on the left and smiled and said, "Howard, you are the most familiar with the company, so you can announce it."

"Okay, Chairman."

Howard Schultz nodded expressionlessly. This was the consensus reached between the two of them during their dinner last night. He just didn't expect it to be so fast. It seems that the outside world's evaluation of Andy Smith was not much different. He was cruel and decisive. He saw it today. He was elected as chairman for less than 15 minutes and took action decisively without any delay and showing his sharpness.
