American Fortune Life

It's not easy for you, it's not easy for me, it's not easy for anyone!

Andy naturally knows that it's not easy for everyone to live, but now he doesn't accept and understand people and things that he doesn't like.

Because the pigu determines the head, the mind determines the height!

Andy, who now owns more than two dozen companies, has been telling himself to be more cold-blooded and harsh in business!

In his previous life, he would never have dreamed of cutting thousands of employees and leaving so many unemployed because of one of his decisions! In order to consolidate their authority, wash the management of the company, and Kick the founder out of the nest...

You're welcome to say that your subordinates can use business as a platform for some stage of their own development, but Andy can't. These businesses are not what your subordinates call "their own children”, but his business life at Andy Smith! Once the business fails, the men can clap their asses and go, and continue looking for a next home. And Andy?

It was easy to get through and earn these assets by relying on the prophet's perceived advantage. He is not the Virgin Mary and takes his own interests to understand others!

He's a man, not a god! Even if it is a bit advantageous, this advantage does not make up for his own shortcomings. Especially as the scale develops, fears about the fate of all assets are truly like running thin ice, which cannot be allowed to flash a little.

How many people point to Andy Smith's life and how many want to benefit financially from him, for Andy now, he can't help but not move forward, because even the team around him will constantly push Andy, the big boss, forward for personal gain.

Andy can see future trends, but he can't tell the difference between human heart and human nature, and the only thing he can do is be vigilant and keep thinking rationally at all times.

All of this leads him to take advantage of the risk assessment and choice of strategic decisions, avoid failures and lack of humanity.

“Trash! ”

The next day, in the conference room, Andy looked at the creativity of the advertising department, looked indifferent, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and unnecessarily threw the documents in his hand onto the conference table.

“I'd like to hire a bunch of Velmi angels to advertise, but what the fuck is this idea? Even if they wear bikinis, si socks, a green apron, a Christmas hat, and a twisted TUN at Starbucks, the Christmas tree is a hundred times stronger than this idea! ”

The director of the advertising department and one of his men blushed, ridiculed by Andy's cynicism like a needle felt, and the executives in the conference room finally saw the hard side of the young board chairman who had been circulating.

“Either listen to the music with beautiful images, or go to the warm Christmas theme and come up with a satisfactory plan before work today, I will wait in the office! ”

Andy looked indifferently at the two advertising divisions and continued with a faint voice: "Are the Velmie angels in touch? ”

“Already in touch, Adriana Lima has left, Alexander Ambrose has flew from Brazil, and all the others will arrive in Seattle tomorrow.” The head of advertising responded hastily.

Andy glanced at each other and slightly lowered his head, turning to Howard Schultz, who had never spoken to one side, said softly: "Howard, the media has been very reactive lately to our plans to lay off 6,700 people and close 300 branches. ”

Howard Schultz nodded heavily and was helpless to say: "No way, to cope with the recessionary economic situation, the decision to close down the store was largely influenced by a drop in store passenger traffic and projected restructuring spending, with the company's profits falling more than expected and net profits falling by 69% in the last fiscal season, including a 10% decline in U.S. store revenue.

Starbucks made a net profit of $64.3 million in the fourth fiscal quarter ended 8 December yesterday, which included closing stores and redundancy expenses. And the company's net profit for the same period last year was over $200 million. Revenue from sales decreased by 6 per cent year-on-year to $2.6 billion.

I also saw a joint request from online Starbucks customers to leave their community Starbucks stores behind, but that was also impossible, and we had to correct the consequences of blind expansion. ”

Andy nodded in agreement and shook his head with a helpless smile. “I got a call from President-elect O'Blackbull earlier. He's very concerned about our redundancy plan. By the way, he's going to Starbucks, Chicago, to experience it recently. Be prepared, you know, he's the hottest superstar right now, so take the opportunity and promote it. ”

Everyone in the conference room, including Howard Schultz, is eye-catching, a young chairman's gaze is becoming more and more admirable, no one is stupid, the president-elect can make such a decision, absolutely has a huge relationship with his young chairman.

“Last night, I got another call from the President of Little Flying Shoes, or something about our redundancy. Seriously, I didn't think we'd get a normal redundancy, so many people would care!

However, Starbucks reform is inevitable, and even if many people don't want to see it and don't want to accept it, there's no way, Howard, let it go, I support you and the board strongly supports you! ”

“Thank you for your support!” Howard Schultz looked at Andy with great gratitude and said, "You know, he cut down before, but under tremendous pressure.

Closing 600 stores, cutting off 12,000 employees, that's not easy to solve, external pressure, internal challenges, employee grievances and anger, investor mistrust, pressure from governments everywhere, and so on, all of which make it hard for Howard Schultz to recruit.

Finally, there's a tall one!

After Andy Smith's owner, Howard Schultz, and Andy's conversation, there was no exclusion at all, and in addition to the considerations that would put him in, more importantly, Andy Smith was a decentralized, profitable, employable chairman, which was more advantageous and helpful for Howard to regain control of Starbucks.

At the end of the meeting, Andy returned to his chairman's office with the coffee brought in by the interim secretary, leaning against the boss's chair and looking at a big headline at the top of a newspaper on his desk, "Starbucks Q4 profit plummets by 95 per cent forced to drop to self-help."

Andy couldn't help but raise his mouth and laugh, and these media pee xings he really understood, because he was the owner, and after a brief period of pursuit, in the face of Starbucks' new closing plans, these media started singing collectively about Starbucks.

What's more, to think of the star Buck as the end of Andy Smith's undefeated legend is Andy, the commercial genius of Waterloo.

The media got caught up in a collective hike, and it seemed that Andy's failure was what made them happier.

As for the fact that the crazy expansion plan of the previous two years had absolutely nothing to do with Andy, it was directly ignored by these bastards. What is the crazy expansion bill, what is the after-effect of expansion, and whether or not to recreate the glory of the past, is still an unknown sing-and-defunct discourse.

Andy can guess with his toes, definitely more than one or two!

Looking at these newspapers, whoops, none of them, apart from their own newspapers, have shown any interest or interest in the new Starbucks program, which is really funny to Andy.

But let him be vigilant and see how many people have been offended by his collision in this economic crisis!

Dropping the coffee cup, Andy laughed, pressed down the answering machine on the desk, called in the temporary secretary, handed her her cell phone to the secretary and asked her to take a picture of herself.

Andy stood in front of the floor window, covering the sun, opening his arms, holding an oversized glass of Starbucks in his hand, raising his chin, closing his eyes and making an intoxicating expression.

“Click--”

After the photo was taken, Andy smiled and took the phone, looked at it and nodded satisfactorily, letting the secretary leave and turn on his INS.

“What can you do in ten seconds?

Blank times always seem long.

So come with me, close your eyes and take a deep breath.

Ah....

Feeling relaxed?

Enjoy a moment of relaxation in Starbucks!

I'm Andy Smith. I speak for myself! ”
