Ever since watching "Sleepless in Seattle", the city has been firmly in Han Xuan's mind.

Seattle is located at the far corner of the northwest of the continental United States, across the border with Canada, which is Vancouver.

There is a view of the lake, there are snow-capped mountains, the city is not big, but it is very clean.

The taxi driver drove wild, probably because of the many mountain roads.

The terrain is too low, so the high-rise buildings are built on the hillside, and they are dozens of meters higher at once, and I have to say that the designer is very smart, and compared with other buildings in the valley, it suddenly becomes taller.

Birds flying in the sky, pets roaming leisurely, and the strange terrain of the city add a different kind of atmosphere to Seattle.

Passing by the landmark building built in the 1962 World Expo, the Space Needle, Han Xuan clearly remembers appearing in the movie.

A billboard for Microsoft is erected on a tall building, where the company is headquartered, and Seattle is not only home to Microsoft, but also the birthplace of Boeing airplanes.

"Pike Place Market is here, the oldest farmer's market in the country, where you can find produce from the surrounding cities, and the Starbucks you're talking about, lo and behold, it's across the street, and I love drinking it. ”

The old driver said.

The helicopter was parked in the suburbs, and he was afraid that he would not find a place in Seattle, so he heard that Han Xuan was a tourist and enthusiastically helped them introduce the scenery along the way.

What Han Xuan remembers the most is a wall covered with used chewing gum, which is worthy of being one of the five most disgusting works of art in the world.

The world's first Starbucks, which says it was built in 1971, is where the Starbucks empire began its journey of terrifying expansion.

Anthony saw Han Xuan by the window, stood up and waved, they just called and agreed to meet here. Before visiting Mr. Schultz, the founder and CEO, it is necessary to discuss the countermeasures.

Jason led them to the corner and waited for the sidewalk to turn green before crossing the street and entering the store.

After ordering three cups of coffee first, Han Xuan saw two letters in the glass cabinet when he waited, together with a worn-out coffee can, and looked down to see that the letter read:

"Dear son. As a father, I did fail, neither gave you a good living environment, nor did I have a way for you to go to college, and I am indeed a rough person as you say.

But child, I also have my own dreams, and my biggest wish is to be able to have a coffee house, to be able to wear clean clothes, and to grind and brew a cup of fragrant coffee for you leisurely.

However. I can't fulfill this wish, but I want you to have such happiness for your son, but I don't know how to make you understand my heart, and it seems that only beating and scolding can make you notice me as a father......"

There is a line engraved on the tin can: A gift from my son.

The other is in the form of a reply: "My mom wants me to make your dream come true, and in fact I have achieved it."

Today, I quit my $75,000 job to take over a small company that I plan to turn into a dark green café in the future.

I think you'll love the name Starbucks. Derived from your favorite Mel Weil novel Jaws, I decided not to change it. Someday I'll drive Starbucks all over Washington State.

May you be at peace in Heaven, your eternal son, Schultz. ”

Han Xuan didn't know what kind of story there was, but it would definitely be quite touching, and his parents from his previous life came to mind......

The waitress had a bright smile on her face and didn't rush him. When he came back to his senses, "Your coffee." ”

"No, it's your coffee. ”

"What?"

"Just kidding, you know, I'm in a pretty bad mood right now. ”

Han Xuan smiled and shrugged. took a sip: "If I were five years older, I would definitely ask you for your number, thank you for not bothering me to think about life." ”

"You're a minor five years older, I'm 21 years old. ”

"I was 16 and five years old. ”

"Haha, I'm going to get older, boy, I'm going to treat you to the new biscuits here. ”

"Thank you, you'll be given a good tip when you leave, or a high-paying job, what will you choose?"

"Of course it's work, and when the money runs out, it's gone"

Anthony sat alone by the window.

But at the two tables next to him, ten successful men in suits and leather collars sat upright.

They saw Han Xuan staggering over and standing up one after another, "Chairman." ”

"Hello, it's rare to have weather like this in Seattle. Han Xuan turned his head, grinned, and looked at the waitress just now who covered her mouth in surprise, and gave a thumbs up.

Sitting across from Anthony, "In the morning you said on the phone that Schultz had the idea of selling some of the shares, did you negotiate with him, up to 10%, and no more?"

"Yes, this month we received 9.78% of the total share capital, for which Starbucks increased its market capitalization on the NASDAQ stock exchange by $22 million to $73.5 million.

This is this morning's quote, the latest data will not be counted until the market closes, and we can only rank in the position of the third largest shareholder, a large section away from the holding. ”

Starbucks is still in a state of loss, the United States is full of cafes, and Starbucks is a compound interest investment, which has been tepid at present, so the market value is not high.

"19.78% is still third, who is second?" Han Xuan asked in surprise.

"One of the founders of Microsoft, Paul Allen, he bought 25% of Starbucks in 89, and Microsoft also has some of his shares, there is no shortage of money, it is more troublesome to deal with, I sent someone to contact him, but he did not agree. ”

"I see, have you made an appointment with Schultz?"

"Yes, it's scheduled for the afternoon, and he's coming from San Francisco. ”

"Let's go have lunch first, and then go to the Starbucks headquarters in the afternoon, just now the driver recommended me a seafood restaurant, which is very famous in Seattle. ”

"One thing I would like to tell you is that a young financial data analyst at the company gave me a report that there could be an earthquake in the Mexican stock market in the near future. ”

"What do you mean, tell me carefully. Han Xuan said with interest.

Anthony coughed lightly and whispered: "Recently, the armed peasant uprisings in Mexico have been one after another, and the two presidential candidates have been assassinated one after another, and the struggle for power is very fierce.

Foreign capital entering Mexico began to decline, and the withdrawal of capital increased day by day, and the Mexican government had to use its foreign exchange reserves to cover the huge foreign trade deficit.

Mexico now has a fiscal deficit of $31 billion, and a few years ago the local government abolished capital management, and foreign capital, including speculative short-term capital, poured into Mexico, which reduced Mexico's commodity competitiveness and widened its trade deficit.

Those idiots have recently planned to devalue the peso, and I have asked someone to analyze it carefully, and this may become the last straw that crushes his fake economy, and once it really depreciates, those hot money outflows will wash away the stock market, the property market, the banks, and so on......"

Han Xuan raised his eyebrows and lowered his voice: "You mean that the economic crisis in Mexico is coming?"

"Yes, it's very likely that one or two high-level executives of the top investment companies in China will travel there!" )
