Chapter 218: Starbucks
I ordered a caramel macchiato and sat down at the small round table in the Starbucks café.
Han Xuan found that there were not many cafes that could be seen everywhere in later generations, and asked casually: "How is Starbucks now?"?
"There seem to be a few Starbucks stores in San Francisco, and this is the first time I've drunk it. Thomas's ass was only on the small half of the chair, as if he was ready to jump at any moment, and his perennial failures made him cautious to the point of paranoia.
"Waiter. ”
Han Xuan beckoned, there was only one table of them in the store, the air conditioner was still on, it was very rare in ninety-four years, and it would be good for an ordinary small café to have an electric fan.
"What's the matter, sir. ”
The waitress came out from behind the counter and said, "Don't you like the taste? I'm sorry! It just opened yesterday and I'm not familiar with it." ”
"No, I want to ask how many Starbucks stores like this are?"
"There's another one in downtown Providence, so the taste is okay?"
Han Xuan glanced at the silver name tag on her chest and said with a smile, "It's delicious, what about the whole of America, Miss Lily." ”
"Boy, you're also from school, and I often see you when I go to the SOS convenience store to buy things. ”
Lily smiled: "I work part-time here, and the last meeting seemed to introduce more than 1,000 stores in the United States, I can't remember the specifics, an average of seven open every day, don't look at it small, it was listed on the NASDAQ the year before last." ”
"Thank you, my Uncle Gabriel is smoking outside, please make him a cup of coffee, whichever, you know, it's the owner of the convenience store. ”
Lily looked happy, and it was a good opportunity to practice her skills, "Let's get a latte."
I took a small notebook to help me sort out my memories and found a note with the name of Starbucks, this kind of coffee shop is so familiar that I have seen it before. Also missed it.
Flipped through a few pages, put it in the pocket of his shorts, and muttered: "If the homeless man picks it up and buys it, he can probably become a millionaire......"
Three Mercedes-Benz cars stopped at the gate of Brown University one after another, and the middle one was six meters long, and the bodyguards were scattered around to look carefully. Lopez opened the car door and let the family out of the car.
It's not that it's a show, but the law and order in the United States is really bad, and nine presidents in history have been assassinated, four of them died.
In a sense, assassinating Old Man Han may have greater benefits, so he is equipped with an eight-person bodyguard team all year round, and it will be increased in places with many people, and now his son and daughter-in-law are also equipped with bodyguards, there is no way. is also biological, and it is just such a one, and if you are unhappy, you will hold back.
The posture frightened many people, the students stopped at the school gate to watch, the school security guard came to ask, the old man dialed a number and handed the phone to him, and then the security guard turned his head to disperse the students, probably Principal Gregorian ordered.
Han Xuan saw his parents and them. He put down his glass and walked to the door and shouted, "Here!"
When the boy's father heard this, he turned around and said that he was going to Starbucks.
"What to drink. Bring me a drink, I don't have to go to class in the afternoon?" the old man asked with a smile.
"School starts in a few days, and there are not many classes. After Han Xuan finished speaking, he looked at Lili, "There is business again, and those outside are also done casually." ”
"How about the franchise using this coffee, I want to buy some shares of it. ”
Raise your glass to show grandpa.
"The way Starbucks is expanding is interesting. Only direct sales do not join, listed on the NASDAQ. ”
"If it weren't for the big investment in convenience stores, I would also like to open my own store, centralized management can reduce operating costs, and the management is very smart. Tastes good. Buy it, buy it, if it's all like this, I can try to sell it. ”
Old Man Han snatched his grandson's coffee, took a sip and said.
"Why are you all here?"
"Can't come?" Guo's mother asked rhetorically, "Hurry up and drink, wait until you go to your school to see, you haven't been here for half a year, you haven't washed your face in the morning, and your mouth is dark." ”
"It's okay, I've been tricked. ”
Han Xuan hurriedly changed the topic and said publicly: "I just met with Mr. Alan Hassenfield, the CEO of Hasbro, and I want to buy Hasbro and add it to the Marvel Comics peripheral channels. ”
"He called me, and in a tone that seemed to be frightened, asked me if it was real.
Invest one billion to make a movie with one mouth, how can there be so much money, not only him, I was also shocked, if those superheroes are made into movies, they are really as profitable as you say, Hasbro can definitely buy them.
I don't know where I learned this radical business trick, but the university teachers taught it?"
Guo Muzhou scolded with a smile, scared and scared that he seemed to be a little used to it now, thinking all the way, thinking that at least it would not be a loss, Hasbro itself has the ability to make money, and it will recover its costs a few years later at most.
"Help you get through, Hassenfeld seems to be a little interested in the proposal, and said that the next board meeting will bring it up for discussion, and give me an answer later.
However, he wants Hasbro and Marvel Comics to cross-hold each other, it is estimated that he is not at ease, the market value of Marvel is calculated to be 400 million US dollars, and Hasbro will exchange equivalent shares according to the market value of 700 million. ”
"The abacus is good, Marvel didn't merge with Dimen Pictures, right?" Han Xuan asked, the development potential of the two companies is about the same, and after thinking about it, I don't see the problem inside, taking down the controlling stake is equivalent to changing the left hand to the right hand, or my own.
"Dimen Pictures is the parent company, and the two sides operate independently. ”
"Then tell him that it doesn't count as movie copyrights, and that the copyright of peripheral products will remain at Marvel, and inject another 100 million into Marvel Comics, and the two will be swapped at the same market value, provided that the shares of Hasbro are sold to me before I can agree to let him take our car. ”
"50% of the shares are estimated that he will not sell, at most 35% is about the same. Guo Muzhou said.
"Someone is on their way to Providence, Hasbro has invested all its profits in acquisitions in recent years, and the data shows that Hasbro's shareholders have not seen dividends for five years.
Not all shareholders like Berkshire Hathaway's approach to compounding and seeing cash at a premium, and I'm sure many Hasbro shareholders will be happy to buy them to me. ”
Han Xuan smiled brightly, which is why he has confidence in holding Hasbro.
"Well done. ”
The old man praised that the recent progress of the franchise, the prospect is predictable, and the mentality has become more and more calm, and he attaches more importance to his grandson's gradually mature way of thinking and business operation than the money.
"I read the news that there was an auction in Chicago, how was it?"
Chicago's population is second only to New York and Los Angeles, with a population of more than 2 million in the urban area and more than 7 million residents in the entire metropolitan area and suburbs.
"It's not bad, the economy there is a little worse than New York, and this time we arranged for 280 branches in Chicago.
Joseph's assistant just called me and took more than $69 million, an average of $247,200 a place, which is crazier than New York, and with a deposit of 30,000 per family, I received more than $77 million.
The think tank expects that the whole United States will be able to accommodate 19,000 of them, but the transportation facilities will be built according to 8,000, so they can only wait for the next batch to be added, and then come back in two months.
Fusubi and Christie's don't have enough auctioneers, so they have to be pulled from other auction houses, or they will be faster. ”
"It is impossible for a small town to get such a high price, based on an average of 150,000 yuan, which means that the company will get 1.2 billion US dollars just by joining?"
Lily happened to come over and fell to the ground with the sound of coffee popping in her hand (to be continued.) )
