Andy watched sitting calmly and honestly with Howard Schultz, there was no speech, no plan, everything seemed to have been thought hundreds or thousands of times in his mind, without any hesitation. One by one, one by one.

From Howard Schultz, Andy saw very strong courage and determination. Andy can feel that Howard still maintains the original intention when Starbucks was founded, and insists on providing customers with a "third space" for people to connect with each other.

However, Andy also knows from the frank exchanges between the other party and himself that, despite being so powerful, he is also very anxious and has been going on for a long time. After all, reform is not easy, and it will affect the whole body. However, in order to stop Starbucks' declining revenue, declining profits need such determination and optimism.

"The decision is very decisive and full of confidence. Don't be afraid to be satirized by the outside world. I support you and the board will support you. I believe we can walk through the long mist. As long as we walk forward firmly, we will finally see a clear and bright ,win."

With a very satisfied expression on his face, Andy smiled at Howard Schultz and gave him his biggest support without hesitation. His words fell and the warmest applause rang out in the conference room.

The most feared part of corporate reform is that the road ahead is confused, the leadership views are not unified, and they cannot unite. Although Andy is not a good EO, he can definitely be regarded as a good leader.

A good leader requires a strong think tank and executive team, appointing top talent in the professional field, and letting this talent stay in a particularly suitable position, which can not only solve the problem well, but also bring unexpected results. Pioneering work.

So, instead of kicking out Starbucks' real soul figure Howard Schultz, Andy gave him more free power and stronger support than before.

Andy stretched out his hands with a smile on his face and gestured. Everyone in the conference room immediately stopped applauding and looked at the new chairman with a burning look, and Andy was very satisfied with the effect, which shows that these guys have accepted themselves And with awe.

"If you've been walking for a long time, as if you can't see the end, as long as you believe that you can and do what is right, then go forward boldly! Victory is not a decision, a move, a change can produce Yes, it is a collection of all your efforts and it takes time. All we need to do is work together and move forward! "

"Pap ..."

With a smile on his face, Howard Sulz took the lead to stand up and applaud, admired the determination of Andy Smith, the new chairman, and looked forward to the rebirth of Starbucks.

Andy smiled calmly, watching everyone in the conference room applauding for him warmly, and was very useful and satisfied. The happiness brought by the sense of achievement can really be addictive! ...

"In front is Starbucks' first store. I still keep the key to this store. There are many good memories here, and because of Starbucks, it has become one of Seattle's famous tourist attractions."

In the compartment, Howard Schultz smiled, pointed his finger at the Starbucks store diagonally ahead, and introduced Andy.

In the Pike Place Market in Seattle, there are rumbling fruit and vegetable shops, butcher shops and freshly caught seafood, and some ragged tramps are in some alleys.

Andy looked at all this through the window, and couldn't help laughing. "It seems that our team is going to be blocked here, but it's just a short walk away. Let's get out of the car and go over."

"This"

Howard hesitated a little, but he saw the scene of hundreds of reporters outside the headquarters when he left the headquarters of Starbucks. It was also the first time that he truly felt the popularity of this young chairman. Super star.

"Oh, it's okay, I'll bring sunglasses, as long as the reporters don't catch up, just walk into the store. Let's go ..."

With that, Andy smiled, put on sunglasses, and patted the back of the front seat. Martin Xun, the co-pilot, quickly opened the door and got out of the car. While giving the order with the communicator, he opened the door for OSS.

Andy stepped out of the car, dragged his suit, and watched himself surrounded by bodyguards. Many passers-by turned their attention and cast a curious look. Andy couldn't help shaking his head and smirking, patted him in front of him. Martin's shoulder.

"Don't be so nervous. I was in a hurry. It won't be dangerous. Howard, let's go. I've known this first store for a long time."

Howard watched more than a dozen bodyguards as if facing the enemy, with a somber expression, and a dangerous breath spread out. There was also a bitter smile in his heart. Although everyone is a billionaire, he is a billionaire who compares with this one. It's really the same as parallel imports. It's really incomparable.

For dozens of miles, Andy was like a drop of boiling water breaking into the oil pan, so that everyone in the Parker market focused on them. Someone finally recognized Howard Schultz's Identity.

"It's Andy Smith ..."

"Oh my god, he's so handsome ..." ...

I didn't know it was the girl who screamed, and the crowd around them immediately burst into an uproar. Just before the crowd did not respond, a large group of reporters and paparazzi holding cameras came running behind them like a dog.

Hearing the noise and chaos behind him, Andy with sunglasses looked back, smiled slightly, and stepped into the Starbucks store with green door frames.

The guests at Starbucks were curious as they looked at the dozen or so big men who suddenly came in. Some looked slightly changed and they whispered.

"Hello, Mr. Schultz. Hello, Chairman ..."

The Starbucks store manager with a green apron hurriedly greeted him and greeted Andy and Howard with an excited smile. Just after the board meeting, Starbucks stores around the world have received a trust that Andy had already prepared. The chairman's email officially opened the Starbucks era of Andy Smith.

The customers who were waiting in line looked curiously at Andy with sunglasses and Howard with a grin on his face, and heard the shopkeeper's greetings, all looking at Andy Smith with a smile on his face, looking around in amazement. .

At this moment, the doorways that had been blocked by the bodyguards rang a call, and those customers who were still a little bit confused looked back and were startled.

All the places where there is glass in Starbucks are cameras. The crowd has surrounded the entire Starbucks store, and there are many teeth and paws gathered at the door, shouting "Andy Smith ..."

The scene became very confusing. Andy took off his glasses and said to Howard with a grin, "Give me a green apron."

"what?!"

Howard glanced at the shopkeeper who was yelling and frowned, and said, "Bring me the spare one and mine."

"Okay, okay, right now ..." The aggressive shop manager quickly turned and ran into the back office, and quickly brought two aprons.

Andy took the green apron, took off his suit with a smile, handed it to Martin, then put the apron around his neck, tied it backhand, and laughed at Howard, who was also an apron, "Go, teach me how to soak coffee."

Howard shook his head with a helpless smile, okay, now that oss is interested, he can only play with him.

"Sorry, can I help you? It may take you a while, after all, this is my first job."

Andy smiled with sunshine on his face, and the kind and greedy face was already incredible, said the young black girl with wide eyes and covering her mouth so as not to let her exclaim.

The young black girl was already excited and couldn't help herself, but just nodded desperately, a pair of big eyes stared at Andy, and the other customers around were screaming, looking at the black with envious eyes. sister.
