American Fortune Life
Chapter 1356: Pay As You Want and Idiot San (77/79)
There was silence in the conference room and everyone's eyes focused on the face of Howard Schultz, founder president and CEO of Starbucks.
Howard Schultz, though prepared, was cold inside when he heard his request.
When he acquired Starbucks, he completed the acquisition with a group of investors because of his lack of funds, and he spared no effort to spread the company's equity in order to better control the company.
Due to the decentralization of equity and the existence of a serious "hitchhiking" phenomenon in supervisory operations, the participation of small shareholders in shareholders' assemblies has little incentive to compete for agency rights and is unable to engage in these activities.
And then Starbucks became an insider, and he became the leader, and Starbucks put his Howard Schultz label deep up and down, so that he could return to the king after leaving Starbucks!
However, there are now also deadly shortcomings in this decentralized mechanism, where small shareholders use exit mechanisms and takeovers to restrain operators once their interests are compromised.
When a company is severely out of profits maximized, small shareholders will sell their shares, causing the company's share price to fall, and when it falls to a certain extent, the value of the company will be seriously underestimated, at which point someone will acquire the company's shares at a higher price than the market, restructure the board of directors and appoint new operators after reaching the holding level.
The threat of potential takeover makes it imperative for managers to work diligently towards achieving the best interests of shareholders.
Howard Schultz's deep eyes looked at Olyn Smith, and he was right, "Business is so cruel. ”
When he returned, he crazily closed 600 stores, waving a redundancy knife and losing the trust of his small shareholders, and now a hungry wolf has walked in, and they are dying and have nothing to do with it.
The other party's request is not so much a request as another kind of 'who agrees, who disagrees’ test.
The big picture has gone, and the consequence of disagreement is that the other party will immediately initiate the restructuring of the board of directors and wash the management of the company!
“We seem to have lost choice, don't we? ”
Watching Howard Schultz look a little helpless and a little tangled, hearing him full of lost words, Olyn Smith didn't say anything, just smiling at each other and saying.
“Mr. Schultz, for Starbucks, you are the creator and soul figure, your feelings for Starbucks and your importance, Mr. Smith is well aware that his ownership will not change anything, that this reform, and Mr. Smith is very much in favour of it, and that your reform plan will receive more support.
Starbucks needs to put an end to this terrible downturn and get back on track! ”
“ Starbucks Board, shareholders and all employees are optimistic about Mr. Andy Smith's inclusion... ”
“Oh, Olin, I just got off the phone with Howard Schultz, and the attitude is sincere and the communication is going well, but the plan to repurchase Starbucks shares cannot stop, the better, and the potential risk of takeover must be eliminated.
This is the first listed company I bought, and I don't want to be kicked out of the game by a sudden adversary one day in the future! ”
Andy leaned against the sofa in the living room, watching Howard Schultz talk to reporters on TV, talking on the phone, and an empty Lochsan claw in Ivana's arms, rubbing a spiral.
As Chakra's morphology changed more and more, Ivana's eyes became foggy and silky, like a mermaid's NIU moving in Andy's arms.
“Well, I know, after Thanksgiving, I'll fly to Seattle myself, officially star Buck, to succeed you as chairman of the board, and, by the way, Olin, I'm ready for you to take over as CFO of Starbuck... ”
Andy picked his eyebrows and looked at Ivana, slightly reddished by her own cheeks, biting the saoLANG charm of Red CHUN. He had to move down, face up to the sky, and then reached out his fingers to Xiao Andy, who was already cold and chestnuts, to continue.
“As you know, I can't keep an eye on Starbucks, and I don't want to interfere too much with Howard Schultz's work and operations, um, whoo-hoo, nothing, but the finance part, it has to be one of us... ”
Hanging up the phone, Andy's mouth slightly curled, his cheerful expression to Ivana, who is at 360 degrees without a dead end, gave it SPA, said proudly: "Starbucks is officially in my career map from today, haha... ”
Feeling the gentle palms of his own man touching his hair, Ivana had a happy sweet smile on her face, looked up at Andy's cheerful face, the happier he laughed, the more aesthetic Chi was.
The two lamps shed dusk lights, dispelling the darkness in the luxury bedroom, and were spacious. Andy and Ivana were sleeping together, and since Ivana was in her infancy, she could only hang up the deck.
Of course, the frontal battlefield couldn't open the scene, and there were other options, so Andy, who had invaded two doors in a row, and Ivana, who had been slaughtered with armor thrown, slept very sweetly.
Buzz--
On the windowsill, the phone kept buzzing, the shocking cabinet made a noise, and it kept buzzing.
“Hmm?”
Andy frowned tightly and closed his eyes unhappily to remove his resting Lushan claw that parked on the hill. He turned back and extended his arm, grabbed his phone and didn't even look at it. He picked it up obscurely.
“Say...”
“What!”
Andy opened his eyes with anger as his closed, sleepy eyes opened violently, chewing his teeth out and roaring: "You fucking poisonous bastards! ”
“Cough... ”
In the study of an apartment in a Manhattan building, Jon Micham in his pajamas smiled with a constipated expression and coughed lightly. Although he didn't know what his boss meant, it must have been a discriminatory curse. It's better to pretend he didn't hear it. After all, this is politically incorrect.
But when I think of the last email sent by my own reporter, the complexion is once again very hard to see, and equally biting teeth with hatred for Indians who put their own reporter in great danger.
“The owner, who was supposed to be perfectly safe in the hotel's 'secret room', was interviewed by an asshole Indian official on the phone and broadcast directly to the local television station, where the terrorists learned about the secret room, and Anil recorded the whole process in an e-mail. ”
“You idiots! Hope our people are safe! I'll call the Secretary of State, it's murder, you send an e-mail to AMC Prapler, and all the newspapers under the flag, and tomorrow morning, I'm going to see a story that I strongly condemn, to show the world how stupid these idiots are! ”
Andy cautioned quickly, picking up a nightgown from the side and walking out of the bedroom, walking through the hallway door into the study, angrily cursing.
He knew that Sang was unreliable, but he didn't expect it to be so unreliable. For the safety of his own reporters, he pressed down first-hand reporting. Sang would actually broadcast live interviews, reveal his position, and put more people in danger. TMB, idiots also have to have a limit!
