The decline of Wang An's computer company is growing Li Zetian's company. www.biquge.info There is no easier way to poach people from here, and the talent is still so outstanding!

"Mr. Li, Starbucks Marketing and Retail Manager Howard Schultz would like to meet you, I wonder if you have time. ”

Dongfang Yuqin paused, and then said, "He suggested that Starbucks open its own coffee shop, but the current CEO of Starbucks did not accept his suggestion. So, he found a way to contact me. I thought about it and thought his suggestion was feasible, so I ......"

"Okay, I see, now let him come. Li Zetian nodded and said lightly.

"Yes!"

Dongfang Yuqin immediately took out her "Big Brother" mobile phone and dialed Howard Schultz's number.

"Hello, Howard, Mr. Li is going to see you, please leave as soon as possible!"

"Okay, Miss Dongfang, I'll leave right away, thank you very much for your introduction!"

After saying that, Howard Schultz hung up the phone excitedly.

Two hours later, Howard Schultz arrived at Li Zetian's villa.

"Hello, Mr. Li!"

"Well, hello, Howard, please take a seat!"

Li Zetian said, "Regarding your suggestion, I have already learned part of it from my secretary. However, I also want to hear more about why Starbucks set up its own coffee shop. ”

Although Li Zetian knew that the Starbucks in his previous life was created by Howard Schultz, Li Zetian still wanted to test him. Times are different, there are many butterfly effects, and I don't know if Howard Schultz can lead Starbucks to glory.

Howard Schultz then recounted what he had experienced during his business trip to France, expressed his love for the coffee shop and dissected the market prospects of the coffee shop.

Li Zetian nodded frequently.

"Mr. Li, Starbucks used to deal in top-of-the-line coffee beans and high-end coffee equipment, and the brand is very high! If we open a coffee shop, it is easier to connect and let people know that this is a high-grade coffee shop!!

"After listening to what you said, I quite agree. Well, so be it, from now on, Howard, you're the new CEO of Starbucks, and you're in charge of managing the company!"

As soon as Li Zetian finished speaking, Howard Schultz was stunned for a while, he didn't get to the top of Starbucks so easily, and he suddenly became the highest level of Starbucks, he couldn't believe it.

Li Zetian smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "What's the shock, in my company, only elites can stay." As long as it is a talent, I will not treat him badly, and if Starbucks can be listed in the future, I promise to give you 5% of the shares!"

When Howard Schultz heard this, he became even more excited, and swore that "Mr. Li, don't worry, I will live up to your expectations and strive to develop Starbucks into a listed company!"

Li Zetian smiled and nodded, and then said, "It's already five o'clock in the afternoon, so you can stay and have dinner with us." Dongfang Yuqin, you ask the chef to prepare more dishes. ”

"Yes, Mr. Li. Dongfang Yuqin replied, and then turned to leave.

Howard Schultz said excitedly to Li Zetian: "Mr. Li, thank you very much for your hospitality, it is a great honor to have dinner with you!"

Li Zetian smiled and said, "It's not a big deal to have dinner." ”

At this time, Li Zetian couldn't help but think of Buffett's lunch. Warren Buffett's lunch is a sky-high lunch, since 2000, since 2000, a Buffett lunch auction has been held every year, the highest bidder can have lunch with Warren Buffett, over the years, the highest price of the auction is 3.45 million US dollars, it is simply scary!

"If I make a Chronos lunch, how high will the price be?" Li Zetian thought curiously, "It must be more valuable than Warren Buffett's lunch......

Dinner was soon ready, and Howard Schultz took his leave. He swore it was the most delicious dinner he had ever had in his life, and the most memorable dinner.

Li Zetian is very satisfied with Howard Schultz, with him, Starbucks will take off, this is a Fortune 500 company that may have more than 90 billion US dollars in the future!

……

Two days later, Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin took a plane to Hong Kong. This day was September 23rd, the Hong Kong dollar crisis broke out, and the floating price of the Hong Kong dollar fell to 9.6 Hong Kong dollars to 1 US dollar.

Yu Jingqiu's due date was in mid-November, so Li Zetian decided to do things in Hong Kong in advance, and then go back to be with her well.

At this moment, Hong Kong's future is bleak and the situation is uncertain.

Li Zetian's arrival caused a huge sensation in Hong Kong.

Some people believe that Li Zetian's visit to Hong Kong this time is to help the Chinese side gain an advantage in negotiations with Britain. However, Li Zetian doesn't want to get involved, his main purpose is to take advantage of the stock market crash to buy companies in Hong Kong!

First, he intends to achieve absolute control of Hutchison Whampoa.

As soon as they got off the plane, Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin went to Hutchison Whampoa Company to attend the board meeting.

Hutchison Whampoa Company is one of the four major foreign banks in Hong Kong, since the beginning of the Sino-British negotiations, many foreign banks have moved their registered places or actual business focus out of Hong Kong, and have no confidence in Hong Kong.

After the meeting began, Li Zetian put forward his own requirements: "At present, the situation in Hong Kong is complicated, many foreign investors have withdrawn from Hong Kong, and Hong Kong's economy has been greatly affected. ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked and looked at each other.

Li Zetian said lightly: "You can think about it for a few days, and you don't have to answer immediately." Regardless of the outcome of the negotiations between China and the UK, Hutchison Whampoa will work hard in Hong Kong, invest in development, and even buck the trend and invest heavily to auction more land in Hong Kong!!"

Bucking the trend?!

On the spot, many shareholders muttered in their hearts, if Hong Kong's economic situation is not good, won't Hutchison Whampoa Company lose money, you Chronos・Li have money, you don't care about this loss, but what about us? How can we withstand this kind of blow?

"Mr. Li, I'm willing to give my shares!"

"I'm willing to give me the shares!"

“……”

For a while, some people were afraid of being implicated and decided to sell their shares.

Li Zetian said: "Okay, if you are willing to sell me shares now, I can pay a 2% premium to the current stock price." ”

At the moment, the stock market is falling again and again, and there is no trend of rebounding. Hutchison Whampoa's shares will definitely fall sharply, and if they are sold again, their value will shrink significantly.

Many shareholders have expressed their willingness to sell their shares.

After the meeting, Li Zetian signed an equity transfer agreement with them, spending $270 million to get a 25.5% stake, plus the 22.5% stake he originally held, which is almost 48% of the shares. Some shareholders were hesitant to think about it for a few more days.

Hutchison Whampoa is a listed company, and Li Zetian is able to hold 48% of the shares, which is enough to fully control.

After a busy afternoon, Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin returned home.

As soon as he got home, Li Zetian was scolded by Xiao Zhixuan for a while: "Tell me about you, when you came to Hong Kong, you didn't go home to visit your parents as soon as possible, but went to talk about business. ”

Li Zetian made a bitter face and said, "Okay, Mom, it's all my fault." It's just that the stock market crisis broke out in Hong Kong is a rare opportunity, and after I finish my work, I will go back to the United States to accompany Jingqiu. ”

"That's pretty much it!"

Xiao Zhixuan thought for a moment and said, "If you can't go back to the United States now, then I will go to the United States tomorrow, and I can't let Jingqiu be home alone." ”

"Thank you, Mom!" Li Zetian said with a smile.

Zhou Qiqi was very happy when she saw Li Zetian coming back, walked up to him, and shouted, "Brother Zetian!"

"Oh, Kiki, it's getting prettier the longer you get! I remember, I'm supposed to be in high school this year, right?"

Zhou Qiqi heard Li Zetian praise her for being beautiful, and couldn't help blushing slightly, "Yes, I just went to the first year of high school." ”

Now, in a blink of an eye, Zhou Qiqi is 15 years old, and she is slim.

"High school is a very important learning stage in life, and you must not delay your studies because of early love, you know!" Li Zetian reminded.

Zhou Qiqi pouted and muttered: "Who is in love, I can't look down on those little kids!

Li Zetian shook his head and smiled, "You still say that other people are little children, how old are you!"

"People are already 15 years old, and many 15-year-old children in Chinese mainland have begun to get married and have children!"

I'll you, where did the little girl hear this?

Li Zetian had a black line in his head.

Indeed, in this era, men and women in Chinese mainland get married very early, especially girls in the countryside, and 15-year-old girls really have!

"By the way, Mom, why isn't Dad at home?" Li Zetian turned his head to look at Xiao Zhixuan and asked.

"It's not because of the Sino-British negotiations, your father is busy now, and he only has time to go home once in three or five days. Xiao Zhixuan replied.

Li Chengzhi is not only a reporter for the "Hong Kong Daily", but also the president of the umbrella university, and also the father of Li Zetian. He himself took an active part in the negotiations and worked hard to reach them.

"Alright, leave him alone, let's have dinner first. Yuqin, don't stand still, come and sit!"

"Okay, Auntie!"

Everyone was having a sumptuous dinner and chatting happily.

After dinner, Dongfang Yuqin helped Xiao Zhixuan wash the dishes.

Li Zetian and Zhou Qiqi sat on the sofa watching TV.

Zhou Qiqi suddenly said: "Brother Zetian, when I graduate from high school and go to Stanford University in the United States to study, do you say it's okay?"

"Don't want to go to Umbrella University?" asked Li Zetian.

"My dad is the president of Umbrella University, and he can be strict, so I won't go to Umbrella University!"

When Li Zetian heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "Okay, then go to Stanford University to study." Umbrella University has been developed for too short a time, and in many ways it cannot be compared with Stanford University, and you can get a good education at Stanford University!"

"Yes!!" Zhou Qiqi danced happily and said excitedly, "Brother Zetian, then we will make up our minds, when the time comes, you have to help me convince my parents!"

"Okay, no problem!"
