Seattle.

The day after the rain is clear, and there are still some clouds in the blue sky, but because there is little water vapor in the clouds, the white clouds are displayed. The white clouds dotted in the blue sky, adding a little poetic flavor to the winter after the rain.

"...I have always wanted to create and promote a new industrial line, aiming to provide coffee enthusiasts with a "full sense coffee environment". If the roasting workshop is the Disneyland in the coffee industry, the selected store scattered among ordinary stores around the world is the Disney toy store."

Andy, wearing sunglasses, raised his lips slightly and smiled slightly. While listening to Howard Schultz's story beside him, he strolled on a street near the first Starbucks store in the Pike Market that he had just visited the day before yesterday.

More than a dozen bodyguards had a cold face with Andy as the center formed a protective circle to prevent the surrounding reporters and passers-by who were watching the excitement and taking photos with their mobile phones to get close to the safe atmosphere.

Buzz

Listening to Howard constantly explaining his inner thoughts, he pointed to Andy, who introduced him to the surrounding environment, took out his cell phone that was buzzing twice from his pocket, unlocked it and clicked on his own Vatipp. Seeing the information, he was stunned and quickly smashed his lips a few times, with a happy and satisfied smile on his face.

Looking at the photos sent by Han Caiying, Han Jiaren was wearing a white silk nightgown, with fair skin and slightly curly hair. Although she was sleeping soundly, she still looked gentle and quiet, dignified and charming. Her side face was so good that she could kill people, with clear contours and delicate facial features.

This is the doll himself. No matter how different the aesthetics are, they are beautiful! It can be said that they are one of the women they want in their dreams.

Especially the mole on her nose did not affect her beauty at all, but added a touch of playfulness. Perhaps because her temperament was too outstanding, the defects were insignificant, but they had a unique flavor.

The sense of xing and purity of Han Jiaren is perfectly combined. Especially the charm of a mature woman adds more charm.

Just looking at her overly slim figure and curves, but with the beauty of this face, Yingying is just right, giving people an extremely delicate feeling, which makes Andy impatiently want to hold it in her arms and pity her.

"It's amazing and perfect!" Andy couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was really looking forward to it. It won't take long to enjoy this beauty. This kind of beauty can naturally not be put back to the country of Bamboo. It's better to stay by your side and play with it frequently.

Seeing Andy take out her phone to check, Howard Schultz, who was beside her, stopped talking and waited until Andy smiled brighter and put the phone in his pocket. Howard continued to point to the destination of the trip.

“It’s here, the Volvo Car dealership with an area of ​​150,000 square feet. If it turns this into a brand new experience space about Starbucks.

My idea is to move the entire process of the coffee beans from roasting to being extracted from the coffee drinks to the end. You can even hear the coffee beans slipping into the coffee bar through the pipes above your head.

This place will definitely become another tourist check-in place in Seattle, and people will come here to see it..."

Andy looked at the Volvo car dealership and smiled at Howard Schultz and said, "The place is pretty good. Have you found out the information about the house?"

"The property here belongs to an outlet real estate trust. Last year, I was optimistic about this place. The market price assessed by comprehensive ROI, net cash income, etc. is about 6 million, but the price of commercial real estate has fallen by more than 16%, and it currently costs about 5 million US dollars.

But the other party has a 4-year lease contract with this Volvo dealer, and the other party is not prepared to sell it."

Hearing Howard's words, Andy just smiled slightly. There are no products in this world that are not sold, and if they don't sell, they will not be able to sell them.

More than 1,300 square meters of shops are not expensive, but the price in Seattle is not that serious as the real estate bubble burst.

"Let's go back first, let's find out the specific price first. We are talking to this real estate trust company about the proposal of the baking workshop, and I support you."

Andy turned around and walked towards the convoy parked by the road, saying in a calm tone.

"We cannot give up the opportunity in the coffee market to other representatives of fine coffee in the third coffee wave. We should plan ahead of schedule with Starbucks' high-end product line selected by us and re-learning commercial strategies in the fine coffee field. This is also the future of Starbucks."

Howard Schultz smiled on his face, and his eyes looking at Andy, the young chairman, became more and more full of identity.

To be honest, although Howard is very acknowledged Andy Smith's business talent and is helpless and admired that Andy can take over Starbucks and occupy the position of chairman with his strength, he is really not optimistic about Starbucks and the coffee industry. What he fears most is the layman and his expert, and he is also blindly directing.

But now, it seems that everything is overthinking. Not only will it not be blindly directing, but it is also very powerful. When he talked about the word "The Third Wave of Coffee, Howard Schultz knew that the young chairman in front of him had done a lot of homework and knowledge reserves. It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand. As long as he is willing to learn, no one's success is accidental!

In the office of the chairman of Starbucks headquarters, Andy sat in the boss's chair, looking at the documents in his hand, and opposite him was the new Starbucks chief financial officer Olin Smith.

"5.2 million US dollars..." Andy frowned slightly, tapped his fingers casually on the office desk, then looked up at Olin and said, "Make an appointment with the other party, we will come to visit directly in the afternoon!"

"I understand, Chairman." Olin Smith replied without hesitation.

"Haha, how about it? Are you used to living here?" Andy asked with a smile, looking at his cousin from the Smith family.

"It's not bad. The climate here is pretty good, better than Texas, and Hannah likes it very much." Olin Smith smiled slightly, not as rigorous as before, and said in a relaxed tone.

"That's good, there's no way. Starbucks is a listed company acquired after all. The key is that my shares have not exceeded 50%. Although I have been acquiring, I have been in a rebound period recently and the repurchase progress is slow. You still need to help me repurchase some from some store managers and employees. In terms of finance, I can only use my own people." Andy picked up the coffee and smiled while drinking.

"Actually, I like my current job very much. Although my life in an accounting firm was also boring," Olin Smith really admired his cousin now. Of course, I felt sorry for him before. After all, everyone thought he was useless. However, when we met again, we had grown to the point where people like us could only look up to him. He truly admired him, not as jealous as some people.

He was also very surprised and shocked when he suddenly received a call from Old Smith and told him that Andy needed him. You know, since Andy rose again, many people in the family wanted to benefit from it. Unfortunately, Andy ignored him, especially those who had ridiculed Andy during the family gathering during Andy's depravity. So far, only Justin Smith, who had a good relationship with Andy, has entered his peripheral team with himself.

The reason why Olin Smith was attracted to Andy was not only because of his own ability, but also because of his honesty and sincerity, and he never mocked Andy. Olin also knew that he was afraid that he had not offended Andy was the main reason why he was selected.

"Will you buy this commercial property in the name of Starbucks or your real estate trust?"

When Andy heard Olin's question, put down the coffee cup and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Which one do you think is more suitable?"

"Real Estate Trust, signing a 10- to 15-year lease contract with Starbucks at that time will be the most cost-effective whether it is to fight inflation risks or to avoid taxes reasonably." Olin pondered for a while and suggested.

"Haha, then that's it!" Andy nodded with satisfaction.

"The key is whether the other party will sell it."

"Don't worry, I will convince them!" Andy said confidently with his eyes shining with bright colors.
Chapter completed!
