American Fortune Life

Seattle, Washington.

Andy came here last time to see his private aircraft interior renovation plan, but after a brief stop, he left quickly.

And this time, he needs to stay here for a few days in order to better rationalize Starbucks when he joins Starbucks as chairman.

Although he is not very good at specific operations, he is willing to delegate authority to his own professional manager, but the first prerequisite is that he, Andy Smith, can easily take full control of the company.

Financial, HR, and strategic directions are key parts that make him feel like a finger, and a professional manager is just a tool for him to control the company, not a backlash.

At Seattle Tacoma International Airport, the Boeing 747 was slowly gliding, docked next to a hangar on a private apron, and the long-awaited trailer quickly connected to the cabin door.

“Boom! ”

The cabin door opens, the bodyguard goes first, Andy and the look is red, Lima with a natural expression on his face, the corner of his mouth is curled, and the sweet smile is very moving.

Andy was also curled up in the corner of his mouth, holding onto her slim waist and carefully holding onto the lima of a cropped heel boot. A needle went down and it worked wonders, his body was more loyal than his brain, and his body wouldn't lie.

Seattle, a romantic city known as the City of Emerald, has a unique sky, green mountains, lakes, harbour rivers and warm climates, such as the four seasons of spring.

In the United States itself, and in other parts of the world, almost no second city can be found, like Seattle, with mountains and flats covered by dense, almost pristine forests. The city is lined with secluded harbours, rivers, green trees and colorful markets, both inside and outside.

This time, he came here for more time and more comfort. Andy held Lima in his arms and looked out through the windows, it was noon, full of bright sunshine, and the floor glass on the high floor in the distance reflected seven colors of light, scattered to the sky, and put a thin veil on the surrounding buildings.

“Though the temperature is not high, the sun is really shining here!” Andy loves this sunny weather, and Lima leans a little lazy in Andy's arms, just eating and drinking her, most of all looking for a place to lie down.

Seeing Lima ignore herself, Andy helplessly leaves his mouth open, the convoy quickly drives into the bustling city centre, in front of the Four Seasons Hotel, Andy is alone in a cluster of bodyguards, and the presidential suite housekeeper walks into a bright and luxurious lobby with a smile on his face.

The convoy took a bend into the underground parking lot, and Lima, with her sunglasses, sat on a vip ladder directly onto the presidential suite floor under the escort of four bodyguards. She had no negative feelings about not walking with Andy.

There used to be, but Lima knew very well at this point that forcing Andy would only keep the distance and the gap between them growing and eventually losing Andy.

She never intended to leave Andy, she was ready to get pregnant, she became a model from her teens, she could walk one step at a time, and she was perfect for Andy, not to mention reading, at least she wasn't stupid and sweet.

Andy has feelings for her, and she loves Andy. After giving birth to a child, the bondage of feelings will be unbreakable. Even if the host has someone else, what about it? For decades to come, who can guarantee that she is the last person to laugh!

‘Ding!’

The golden elevator door opened, Lima moved the long tui and stepped on the carpet, led by the bodyguards, quickly walked into the presidential suite with both doors open, tossed his handbag onto the couch, took off his sunglasses, and glanced at Andy, who was standing in front of the floor window and enjoying the view.

“I'm going to lie down for a while, and I'm having some trouble...” 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 weight-bearing compartment wall and into the master bedroom.

Looking at the black screen of the electronic fireplace flashing red, he sat at the edge of the wound, undressed three times five times two, lifted the red silk quilt, lay down and covered it, struck an arrear, closed his eyes.

Andy shook his head and smiled, looking at the whole process, he was very satisfied with the sleeping habits of the unaffected LV, but bent over and picked up one piece of clothing that Lima casually threw on the carpet, put it on the rest bench beside him, find a switch on the wall, press it, the curtains closed slowly, the light in the bedroom slowly darkened.

“Thank you.” Lima closed her eyes, her mouth curled slightly and muttered.

Andy bent over and kissed Lima's cheek before turning around and walking out of the master bedroom, taking the door with him, walking to the living room table and picking up the phone, pressing key 1 to notify the housekeeper to prepare his lunch, and as for Lima, when he wakes up, eat again.

Having a rich lunch, it's mostly American, but because Seattle has good cold waters, oysters are really fresh and delicious, and some Seattle specialties like lemon elephant truffles with caviar and roasted nai cheese are delicious.

In the afternoon, Andy sat in the boss's chair facing the laptop, moving his mouse from time to time, alongside a hot cup of aromatic coffee and a plate of coconut NAI oil pie.

It was during that time that Andy was looking, and the financial staff he had assigned to Starbucks, the legal staff, had been handed over to him by the HR observer.

Forcing the acquisition of a company will undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble. After all, it is not a self-founded company. After all, Andy has become accustomed to it. He is very upset about the exclusion of the self-formed Starbucks management.

Andy's acquisition did not change the deterioration of Starbucks' financial position at this time, the reality of sharp declines in share prices, major changes from outside to inside around the core spirit of the business, transformations, and the trends of the times that Starbucks had to face.

Rebirth means profound change. Starbucks' journey to rebirth will inevitably entail pain.

Bring your business back to basics, focus on what you are best at, provide the best products or services, and do everything possible to enhance your customer experience. Create new models of non-replicable enterprise development around products, brands and channels.

The reform proposals put forward by the think tank have much in common with what the Starbucks management, now headed by Howard Schultz, is doing, but they are more comprehensive and in-depth.

The current group of management must change, and he believes he can reach a consensus with Howard Schultz, and Howard, who is back in Starbucks, has been replacing the original management in a slowly changing fashion.

However, the impossibility of a one-size-fits-all Howard can only be slowly eroded without the opposition of the major shareholders, undoubtedly adding to the difficulty of Starbucks reform.

Before the board arrives tomorrow, Andy has decided to meet Howard Schultz privately at night, and Howard's feelings for Starbucks, his knowledge of the coffee industry and his ability to operate are among the best in the industry.

Andy wouldn't break his arm and kick Howard Schultz out to take full control of Starbucks, which wasn't what he wanted, to be honest, he bought Starbucks for money, and Howard could make him money.

Of course, the head of an important department had to be replaced by his own, even if Andy was willing to give Howard Schultz power, which was premised on putting power in a cage.

Around 2pm, Sleepy, Lima, wrapped in a thick white nightgown, walked out of the master bedroom barefoot, came behind Andy, wrapped around his neck from behind and kissed him on his cheek.

“Good afternoon, darling. ”

Andy smiled and turned to look at the lazy aesthetic of Lima Haitangchun after sleeping. Her beautiful face grew brighter and brighter. Her hands patted a smile on her Buttocks: “Go wash up, wake up, call the housekeeper to prepare what you want to eat. I'm going to go to the next room and have a meeting with my men for a while. ”

“Well, I'll order first, then I'll go take a bath, and, uh, would you like to come...” Lima lay on Andy's back, grinning and seducing in his ear, and finally didn't forget to blow two scents.

“Bang!”

“Don't be ridiculous!” Andy didn't have the guts to hit, Buttocks from the fox JING behind him, “There's still a week left, don't worry, I'll fill you up on both ends every morning and evening. Don't worry, if you're not satisfied, I can have three meals in two days so you can eat thoroughly, as long as you're not afraid to make it. ”
