Chapter 1423 I Speak for Myself!

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 make a living, but now he doesn't accept and understand those people and things he doesn't like.

Because pigu determines the head, and thinking determines the height!

Andy is now the boss, controlling more than 20 companies in his hands. He has been telling himself that in business, let himself be more cold-blooded and harsh!

In his previous life, he would never have dreamed that because of his own decision, thousands of employees could be laid off and so many people would lose their jobs! In order to consolidate his power and purge the company's management, Jiu occupied the magpie's nest and kicked out the founder. . .

To put it bluntly, the subordinates can regard the company as a platform for a certain stage of their development, but Andy cannot. These companies are not "as their own children" as the subordinates said, but his Andy Smith's Business life! Once the business fails, the subordinates can pat their ass and leave, and then continue to find another home, but what about Andy?

After finally coming here through time travel, relying on the advantage of foresight to earn these assets, he is not the Holy Mother, taking his own interests to be considerate of others!

He is a man, not a god! Even if there is a little advantage, this advantage cannot make up for his own shortcomings, especially with the development of scale, worrying about the fate of all assets is really like walking on thin ice, and no mistakes can be tolerated.

How many people point to him to live with Andy Smith, and how many people hope to obtain economic benefits from him. For Andy now, it is impossible not to be cold-blooded and not to move forward, because even the team around him will do it for the individual The consideration of self-interest keeps pushing Andy, the big boss, forward.

Andy can see the future development trend clearly, but he can't distinguish between human heart and human nature. The only thing he can do is to be vigilant and keep himself thinking rationally.

All of these have led him to tend to put interests first, avoid failure, and lack human touch in the risk assessment and choice of strategic decision-making.

"Rubbish!"

The next day, in the meeting room, Andy looked at the advertising ideas brought out by the advertising department, with a cold face and a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and unceremoniously threw the piece on the meeting table.

"I want to invite a group of Victoria's Secret angels to advertise, but what the hell is this idea? Even if they wear bikinis, si stockings, green aprons, and Santa hats, they are coquettishly twisting their waists in a Starbucks store Shaking TUN, arranging a Christmas tree is a hundred times better than this idea!"

The head of the advertising department and his subordinates blushed, feeling like they were sitting on pins and needles by Andy's sarcasm, and the executives in the meeting room finally saw the difficult side of the young chairman who had been rumored by the outside world.

"Either beautiful music with beautiful pictures, or a warm Christmas theme, come up with a satisfactory plan for me before I get off work today, and I will wait in the office!"

Andy looked indifferently at the two subordinates of the advertising department, and continued to say indifferently: "Have you contacted those Victoria's Secret angels?"

"We have already contacted. Adriana Lima has already left, and Alessandra Ambrosio has also set off from Brazil. The rest of them are here and will arrive in Seattle tomorrow." The director of the advertising department replied hastily.

Andy glanced at the other party, nodded slightly, turned to Howard Schultz, who had been silent all the time, and chuckled, "Howard, the recent media reaction to our plan to lay off 6,700 employees and close 300 stores has been very intense. .”

Howard Schultz nodded solemnly, and said helplessly: "No way, in order to cope with the sluggish economic situation, the decision to close the store and lay off staff is mainly due to the decrease in store traffic and the expected restructuring expenses. In the last fiscal quarter, the company’s profit fell more than expected, with net profit plummeting 69%, of which U.S. store revenue fell 10%.

Starbucks posted a net profit of $64.3 million in its fiscal fourth quarter ended Dec. 8, which includes store closures and layoffs.

The company made a net profit of more than 200 million US dollars in the same period last year. Sales revenue fell 6% year over year to $2.6 billion.

I have also seen Starbucks customers on the Internet asking for a joint name of Starbucks stores in their own communities. However, this is something that cannot be helped. We must correct the consequences of blind expansion. "

Andy nodded in agreement, shook his head with a helpless chuckle and said: "I received a call from the President-elect Ao Hei Niu before. He is very concerned about our layoff plan. By the way, he will go to Starbucks in Chicago to experience it recently. , you must be prepared, you must know that he is the hottest superstar right now, you must seize the opportunity and promote it well.”

Including Howard Schultz, everyone in the conference room had sparkling eyes. They all looked at the young chairman's eyes and admired them more and more. No one is a fool. The president-elect can make such a decision. It has a huge relationship with me, the young chairman.

"Last night, I received another call from President Xiao Feixie about our layoffs. To be honest, I didn't expect so many people to care about our normal layoffs!

However, the reform of Starbucks is imperative. Even if many people don’t want to see it and are unwilling to accept this plan, there is no way. Howard, you can go ahead and do it. I support you, and the board of directors also firmly supports you! "

"Thank you for the chairman's support!" Howard Schultz looked at Andy gratefully and said, you know, before he laid off employees and closed the store, he did it under great pressure.

Closing 600 stores and laying off 12,000 employees is not something that can be easily resolved by lip service. External pressure, internal doubts, dissatisfaction and anger of the laid-off employees, distrust from investors, and government pressure from various regions The pressure and so on add up to make it difficult for Howard Schultz.

Finally, a tall man stood up!

Andy Smith's entry, after Howard Schultz communicated with Andy, he did not reject it at all, except that the rejection was useless, and he would instead take himself into consideration. More importantly, Andy Smith is a person who can delegate power and benefit. Above all, the chairman who can employ people is more advantageous and helpful for Howard, who is re-in charge of Starbucks.

After the meeting, Andy returned to his chairman's office, took the coffee brought in by the temporary secretary, leaned on the boss chair, and looked at the big headline on the top of the stack of newspapers on the desk, "Starbucks Fourth Quarter Profits plummeted by 95% and were forced to downgrade to save themselves.”

Andy couldn't help but sneered, he was very familiar with the pissing of these media, because after he took over, after a short period of pursuit, faced with Starbucks' new store closure and layoff plan, these media began to collectively sing bad news Starbucks.

What's more, it is believed that entering Starbucks is the end of Andy Smith's undefeated legend, and it is the Waterloo of Andy, a business genius.

These media have fallen into collective self-indulgence, and it seems that seeing Andy fail is the thing that makes them happiest.

As for the fact that the crazy expansion plan of the previous two years had nothing to do with Andy at all, it was directly ignored by this group of bastards. What paid for the crazy expansion, what were the sequelae of the expansion, and whether it could regain its former glory was still a question. Unknown bad-mouthing arguments are rampant.

As for whether there are people or forces behind this, Andy can guess with his toes, there are definitely more than one or two!

Looking at these newspapers, tsk tsk, apart from his own newspapers, there is not a single newspaper that does not comment on Starbucks' new plan. The care and attention shown really makes Andy feel funny.

However, it also made him vigilant. It seems that his rampage in this economic crisis has offended many people!

Putting down the coffee cup, Andy smiled, reached out and pressed the answering machine on the desk, called the temporary secretary in, handed his mobile phone to the secretary, and asked her to take a photo for him.

Andy stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, blocking the sun, with open arms, holding a super-large Starbucks cup in his hand, raised his chin, closed his eyes, and made an intoxicated expression.

"Crack——"

After the photo was taken, Andy took the phone with a smile, looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, asked the secretary to leave, and opened his INS.

"What can you do in ten seconds?

Blank time always seems long.

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

what. . . . . .

In Starbucks, enjoy a relaxing moment!
