Chapter 680 [Increase the background of the old seven]

Los Angeles, Starbucks coffee shop.

Wu Guangyao, Chris and Schultz are sitting on a table in the corner, chatting.

"BOSS, how about it, is it the same as the Starbucks coffee in your mind?" Schultz asked, but his face was a bit proud.

Wu Guangyao looked at the entire cafe, searching for what he wanted to see;

Some friends chat together quietly, some partners talk together, and some people read quietly;

It is not difficult to find that most people who come to Starbucks are not for a cup of coffee, but to enjoy a kind of "Starbucks culture";

"Starbucks" culture is actually a culture that focuses on the two themes of people and knowledge. The core of this culture is to use as comfortable an environment as possible to help people broaden their knowledge and capabilities, and tap the greatest value of people in knowledge.

Wu Guangyao nodded in satisfaction, and said: "You did it, Mr. Schultz! This is the Starbucks coffee in my mind!"

Schultz said modestly: "It is the boss who gave me a lot of inspiration and help. It can be said that the boss is the creator of Starbucks culture."

Wu Guangyao waved his hand and said, “I just said a few words, but you have put a lot of effort into giving credit to me, which is obviously inappropriate.”

Starbucks culture is more than that. In Starbucks Coffee Company, employees are called "partners" at Starbucks, their status is respected enough, and they have created great competitiveness for the Starbucks brand;

Starbucks coffee is very demanding on the sense of smell and has a special smell laboratory. The first thing a barista does at work every day is to get acquainted with the taste and increase the smell of the nose;

Of course, these are all Wu Guangyao who copied the ‘Outline’ to Schultz based on his previous life experience, and believes that he can copy the classics of the previous life.

Wu Guangyao said: “Today, we have completed our first goal and have 100 Starbucks coffee shops across the United States; the corporate culture has also taken shape; then, it’s time to determine the second goal!”

Schultz was shocked, and said excitedly: "What the boss means is, should we fight for 500 stores?"

Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "We will discuss this later, let's discuss the issue of equity first! We once agreed that once the first goal is reached, you will get 5% equity. Now it is time to fulfill the promise. !"

At the beginning, Wu Guangyao and Schultz joined forces to buy Starbucks Coffee, and Schultz took up 5% of the shares with talents joining;

Wu Guangyao provided all the funds, including acquisition costs and development costs, accounting for 95% of the shares.

At the same time, he promised that once Schultz will expand Starbucks stores to 100, and create a Starbucks culture that Wu Guangyao is satisfied with;

Then Wu Guangyao once again released 5% of the equity to him, and at the same time, he gave a part of the options to the outstanding staff and management who paid for the company.

In the past life, Starbucks succeeded not because of capital, but because of people. This is what Wu Guangyao knew;

So, Wu Guangyao will not be stingy with those who have contributed.

Schultz said excitedly: "Thank you for the boss's approval!"

You don’t pay a penny, and you have a high salary every month. The important thing is that the boss is the true creator of the Starbucks culture;

And I can get a 10% stake in a company worth 20 million US dollars, which is obviously exciting enough, which also proves my value.

Wu Guangyao smiled and said: "You deserve this reward! Okay, let's continue talking about business. The Earl Chris next to me is interested in investing in Starbucks. Let's analyze how much funding is needed for the second round of Starbucks development; Then, everyone discuss the financing issue."

Before the meeting, everyone has already made an introduction;

For Chris to join, Schultz expressed his welcome;

After all, the investment of a beautiful British countess is enough to add an invisible asset to Starbucks;

Moreover, Chris is not only a British countess, but also a legendary businesswoman, which makes Schultz optimistic about this investment.

After thinking about it, Schultz said: "Our second round goal is to open 500 Starbucks stores across the United States. The time is three years. It is estimated that we will need to raise 20 million US dollars; but the boss, can you come up with some financing? To other investors, this will help the company's development."

Schultz was a little nervous, afraid of Wu Guangyao's misunderstanding!

Never know, Wu Guangyao said heartily: “Of course there is no problem. Let’s give out a quota of 5 million U.S. dollars to other investors!”

For Starbucks Coffee, Wu Guangyao himself intends to manage the company as an investor;

Of course, but after Chris entered the Starbucks board of directors, it was also a supervisory role for Schultz;

In case he madly dilutes the equity in Wu Guangyao's hands in the future, this kind of thing often happens in the history of business.

Future Starbucks, Chris will have the right to check and balance Schultz on the board of directors, and Schultz will manage Starbucks more;

He can delegate unlimited power to him, but he must also know how to protect Wu Guangyao’s interests.

Back to the villa, Chris asked: "Aren't you worried about Schultz betraying you? You gave him too much power!"

Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "You can't let me be a Chinese and control a company with a Western culture in the United States! So, even if I have a lot of ideas for Starbucks coffee, I can only leave it to Americans to manage. Of course. , This time you are invited to the Starbucks board of directors, just to check and balance Schultz."

Chris thoughtfully, and then said: "You mean, after I enter the board of directors, I need to supervise Schultz; as long as he doesn't try to dilute our shares, we can let him develop Starbucks."

Wu Guangyao took Chris into his arms, smiled and said, "You know me too much!"

Chris put his hands around the back of Wu Guangyao’s neck and responded: “I’m not the only one who understands you. Spent in the beauty's den."

Wu Guangyao's face turned red, and then he immediately said with a serious face: "Some work matters are being dealt with! By the way, with regard to Starbucks Coffee, I intend to gradually make you a major shareholder, and even your assets will become your assets in the future!"

Women love money, and it is true that even Chris, who is expensive as an earl, became a little excited in an instant, and took the initiative to have a French kiss with Wu Guangyao.

At this time, Chris’ assets mainly include: MGM Real Estate, MGM Hotel, AMC Cinema;

Among them, the AMC cinema line was exchanged from Keira's first series at the cost of spinning off MGM Pictures.

Assets are relatively thin, so Wu Guangyao will add a series of assets to Chris this time;

After all, Chris has already given birth to two sons and a daughter for himself;

are Wu Xiancheng born in 1969, Wu Jieli born in 1973, and Wu Xianyang born in 1979;

Only two sons can't make Chris have so little property.

"There is another good news, do you want to listen to it!" Wu Guangyao said with a smile.

"Listen, talk!" Chris stopped his movements and said in surprise.

Wu Guangyao was helpless, half of his clothes were taken off, and he stopped when he said to stop.

"Tomorrow, go to Nike headquarters with me. I will transfer 20% of the shares of Nike to you. It is enough to retain only 5% of the shares. In the future, you will be the director of Nike and enjoy 20% of the voting rights."

Chris’ spirit was shocked. Nike is now a large listed company with a market value of up to US$2.3 billion;

The share of sports shoes in the United States has reached as high as 28%, completely defeating 22% of its opponent Reebok, and even Adidas has been willing to lose.

Chris also knows that Nike’s success has a certain relationship with his own man, and his own man has played a lot of constructive roles.

"Really! I won't be told by the boss!" Although Chris liked it, he was worried about family conflicts, causing Lin Yueru's dislike.

"Yueru didn't even know that I invested in these companies, so don't worry!" Wu Guangyao said with a smile.

Although Chris was happy when he saw it, he was a little bit savage. The woman who was also the man, did so carefully;

However, I quickly figured out that I had to squeeze into that bed at the beginning, so I don’t blame anyone else.
