Chapter 10021: Completing the Puzzle of Ambition (Three More Quests)
"Don't be in a hurry to throw out the problem of tax avoidance, continuous pressing crackdowns may not have a greater effect, isn't it unacceptable to many people on the Internet to Starbucks' store closure?
Let the Internet water army make a hot topic of "my Starbucks", please don't turn off my Starbucks!
One of the answers to why Starbucks is so successful is that Starbucks doesn't just sell coffee, it also provides a place where people can communicate and interact with each other to the greatest extent.
Now that this venue is gone, not only consumers will be depressed and disappointed, but even the governments of various cities will stand up and express their disappointment, and we need to keep Starbucks in the spotlight.
After the topic is hyped up, the issue of tax avoidance is thrown out, first raised and then suppressed, and the British will boycott the problem of tax avoidance under the guidance of public opinion, and the issue of sales and corporate ethics in overseas markets will become an important factor affecting the stock price. ”
The corners of Andy's mouth are slightly upturned, with a faint smile on his face, this is the first time he has planned and experienced a hostile takeover plan, in his opinion, what is more important is that this is a practice for him, it is to exercise and run in his team and prepare for the future.
Starbucks is an important part of Andy's business blueprint, and he needs to have Starbucks' tens of thousands of chain stores in the United States, so that his plan to win the bank is meaningful, because he wants to make Starbucks a very popular Internet + enterprise in the future.
Dedicated APP, support remote ordering, pick up coffee at the store, no need to wait in line, and the most important promotion and application of mobile payment, when Starbucks slowly becomes the attitude of some people's life, Andy has been thinking about mobile payment will also become the habit of these people.
Simply advertising and promoting a new software, the cost of money and time is very large, and now this mobile payment is directly grafted to Starbucks, and some activities such as points are launched, so that not only Starbucks' return rate will soar, but Andy's mobile payment will also have a group of loyal users, and then slowly expand and penetrate into other industries.
This kind of expansion and penetration method is not a new thing for any Celestial Empire person who has received the promotion of a certain treasure payment and a certain letter payment, after all, as a world-leading mobile payment country, the cashless lifestyle is too common.
Of course, Andy won't tell anyone about this plan until he takes Starbucks, but he has already set up two new development groups in Liberty City Technologies, and is already working on the Starbucks app, and a third-party payment system is also in development.
When the time comes, Starbucks will be used to promote the payment system, and then all the products belonging to its online and offline companies will be connected in series, and a complete closed internal circulation ecosystem can be easily completed.
For a large Internet group, the establishment of an ecosystem of internal circulation is its development and desired goal, because it will circle all users in this ecosystem, and when a habit of life is formed, then you can make money lying down!
This is true for Ali, and even more so for fat penguins!
When Andy completes the final integration of all the enterprises, people may find that Andy has established a tentacle monster with teeth and claws, and the tentacles will continue to extend to various industries, and eventually become a Norwegian sea monster-like company.
After the meeting, Andy returned to his office, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his finger twirling back and forth on the bitten apple of his crazy phone on the table.
Negotiations between Apple and the two major domestic communications companies in the rabbit country have been going on for several months, and Andy knows better than anyone that the real rise of Apple's mobile phone is from its entry into the Celestial Empire market.
Or rather, if there is no Celestial Empire market, Apple may still be great, but it will never grow into a monster giant company so crazy.
When the crazy mobile phone landed in the Celestial Empire, the huge pit contracts signed by Andy and Apple before may be reversed, and the confidence will make Apple not afraid of Andy's contract restrictions, and game companies and APP stores will even be restricted and threatened by Apple.
There is less and less time left to threaten Apple!
Andy picked up the phone on the table, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the street view of Wall Street, and kept flipping the crazy phone with his hands behind his back.
However, there are still opportunities to balance Apple, and Andy has been silently waiting for the opportunity and accumulating strength.
"Hehe, Jobs, I prepared a big meal for you in the Celestial Empire, I hope you can eat happily!" Thinking of the trademarks registered in the Celestial Empire in his hand, Andy sneered and muttered to himself.
After dinner, Andy, dressed in casual clothes, nestled cross-legged on the couch and tuned the TV to the live game between the Rockets and the SuperSonics with the remote control.
This season, due to the signing of strong reinforcements by teams in the West, the difference from first place to sixth place is only 3.5 games. The fifth-placed Rockets have surpassed the Jazz in terms of winning percentage, but since the Jazz are the divisional champions, the Rockets can only be ranked fifth according to the rules.
However, the Rockets and Lakers are only one game away from the Spurs, so if the Rockets play well in the remaining five games, then they will have a good chance of finishing second in the playoffs and laying a good foundation for the second round.
"Honey, coffee. ”
"Thank you. Andy smiled and took the coffee from Ivana, who was wearing only a suspender nightdress.
Ivana sat next to Andy with a sweet smile, watched the game on TV, and asked curiously: "Recently, there have been rumors that Maddie has been traded, why hasn't the management of the Rockets come out to refute the rumors? ”
"Hmm!" Andy leaned forward after taking a sip of coffee, put the coffee cup on the table, and reached out to put his arm around Ivana's delicate body, "He has no fighting spirit now, and his psychological quality is very poor, he lacks a brave heart, he has been using the so-called shoulder injury to escape laziness, and he often does not participate in regular training, but fortunately, Da Yao has returned."
The rumor is that I asked the management not to refute the rumors, except that I want to see how far this Maddie can die, and I hope that this pressure can give this guy a little motivation to explode a few more times in the playoffs and squeeze out his last remaining value. “
"In order to show his value, and play at a high level? Perhaps, he should have sensed the team's attitude towards him, even if he is angry, his agent will ask him to fight in order to have an advantage in the negotiations, maybe he can also slap someone in the face, giggle... ”
Ivana said with a gloating smile on her face and a giggle.
"HIT ME IN THE FACE? HEHE, HOPEFULLY, BUT HE HAS NO FIGHTING SPIRIT, IT'S JUST A SALTED FISH, LOOK AT IT, THIS SUMMER, IS THE LAST PEAK OF HIS CAREER! HOWEVER, SINCE I WAS SLAPPED IN THE FACE AND YOU ARE SO HAPPY, IT SEEMS THAT I NEED TO PRACTICE MY HANDS TO SLAP THE BALL, AND TEACH YOU A GOOD LESSON! ”
"Ahh I was wrong... ”
On the sofa in the living room, a pair of dog men and women rolled into a ball and frolicked, and Ivana's uncomfortable laughter and surrender filled the entire living room.
