It's not easy for you, nor for me. It's not easy for everyone!

Andy naturally knows that it's not easy to make a living for everyone, but now he doesn't accept and understand people and things he doesn't like.

Because Pigu decides brain, thinking decides height!

Andy is now the boss, in charge of more than 20 companies, he has been telling himself, in business, to make himself more cold-blooded and harsh!

In his previous life, he never dreamed that because of his decision, he could cut thousands of employees and let so many people lose their jobs! In order to consolidate his power and clean up the company's management, Hatoyama kicked the founder away...

Let's be blunt. Subordinates can regard enterprises as a platform for their own development stage, but Andy can't. these enterprises are not what subordinates call "as their own children", but their business life of Andy Smith! Once the business fails, the subordinates can leave and continue to find a family. What about Andy?

It's not easy to pass through and earn these assets by a little advantage of foresight. He is not the Virgin Mary, taking his own interests to understand others!

He is a man, not a god! Even if there is a little advantage, but this advantage can not make up for his own lack, especially with the development of scale, the worry about the fate of all assets is really like walking on thin ice, which can not be ignored.

How many people point to Andy Smith's life, and how many people hope to get economic benefits from him. For Andy now, he can't stop being cold-blooded and moving forward, because even the team around him will constantly push Andy forward for the sake of his own interests.

Andy can see the development trend of the future, but he can't distinguish human heart and human nature. The only thing he can do is to be vigilant and keep himself thinking rationally all the time.

All of these lead to his tendency to put interests first, avoid failure and lack of human feelings in the risk assessment and selection of strategic decision-making.

"Rubbish!"

The next day, in the conference room, Andy looked at the advertising creativity from the advertising department, his face was cold, his mouth was sneering, and he threw the documents on the conference table.

"I want to invite a group of Vermeer angels to advertise, but what's the TM idea? Even if they wear bikini, Si socks, green apron and Christmas hat to show off their Sasa's twist and swing Tun in Starbucks, the Christmas tree layout is 100 times better than this idea! "

The head of the advertising department and his staff were all flushed, and they were on pins and needles under Andy's cynicism. And the executives in the conference room finally realized that the young chairman of the board was hard to deal with.

"Either listen to beautiful music with beautiful pictures, or take a warm Christmas theme. Give me a satisfactory plan before work today. I will wait in the office!"

Andy looked at the two advertising departments' subordinates coldly, and said lightly, "have you contacted those Vermeer angels?"

"Already contacted, Adriana Lima has left, and Alexander Ambrosio has also flown from Brazil. Several of her will arrive in Seattle tomorrow." The director of advertising replied in a hurry.

Andy glanced at each other, nodded his head slightly, turned to Howard Schultz, who had not spoken for a long time. "Howard, the media recently reacted very strongly to our plan to cut 6700 jobs and close 300 branches."

Howard Schultz nodded his head with a dignified face, but also said helplessly: "there is no way. In order to cope with the economic downturn, the decision to shut down and reduce staff is mainly affected by the reduction of store customer flow and the expected restructuring expenses. In the last fiscal quarter, the company's profit fell by more than expected, with a sharp 69% decrease in net profit, including a 10% decline in store revenue in the United States.

In the fourth quarter ended December 8, Starbucks made a net profit of $64.3 million, including closing stores and layoffs. The company's net profit for the same period last year was more than 200 million US dollars. Sales revenue fell 6% year-on-year to $2.6 billion.

I have also seen the joint requests of Starbucks customers on the Internet to keep their own community Starbucks stores. However, there is no way. We must correct the consequences of blind expansion. "

Andy nodded and shook his head with a smile. "I received a call from President elect o'heiniu. He is very concerned about our layoff plan. By the way, he will go to Starbucks in Chicago recently to experience it. You need to be prepared. You need to know that he is the hottest superstar now. You need to seize the opportunity and give a good publicity."

Including Howard Schultz, all the people in the conference room were full of brilliance in their eyes. They looked at the young chairman one by one and admired him more and more. No one was a fool. The president-elect could make such a decision because he had a huge relationship with the young chairman himself.

"Last night, I got a call from the president of xiaofeixie. It's still about our layoff. Seriously, I didn't expect that there would be so many people concerned about our normal layoff!However, Starbucks' reform is imperative. Even if many people don't want to see it and don't want to accept it, there is no way. Howard, let it go, I support you, and the board of directors firmly supports you! "

"Thank you for your support!" Howard Schultz looked at Andy gratefully and said, you know, he had to cut staff and close the shop before, but under great pressure.

Closing 600 stores and cutting 12000 employees are not easy to solve. External pressure, internal doubts, dissatisfaction and anger of employees being cut, distrust of investors, pressure from local governments and so on add up to make Howard Schulz hard to fight.

Finally, there comes a tall one!

Andy Smith's accession, Howard Schultz and Andy after the exchange, there is no exclusion, in addition to the exclusion of useless, but will put themselves into consideration, more importantly, Andy Smith is a decentralization, the interests of the supreme, and will employ the chairman of the board, which is more advantageous and helpful to Howard who is in charge of Starbucks again.

After the meeting, Andy went back to his chairman's office, took the coffee sent in by the temporary secretary, leaned against the boss's chair, and looked at the top headline of a pile of newspapers placed on the desk: "Starbucks's profits plummeted 95% in the fourth quarter and was forced to fall into self rescue.".

Andy doesn't turn up from the corner of his mouth, sneers and laughs. He really knows the pee of these media, because after a short period of pursuit, in the face of Starbucks' new closing and layoff plan, these media began to collectively sing down Starbucks.

What's more, it is considered that the end of Andy Smith's invincible legend and the Waterloo of Andy, a business genius, is to enter Starbucks.

These media fall into the collective self congratulation. It seems that Andy's failure is the most enjoyable thing for them.

As for the fact that the crazy expansion plan of the first two years has nothing to do with Andy, these assholes directly ignored the whole group. It's still an unknown argument about how to pay for the crazy expansion, what expansion sequelae and whether to reproduce the past glory.

As for whether there are people or forces pushing Bo to help LAN behind this, Andy can guess with his toes that there are definitely more than one or two!

Look at these newspapers, tut Tut, except for their own newspapers, there is no one who does not comment on Starbucks' new plan, showing concern and attention, which really makes Andy feel funny.

However, he was also alert. It seems that he has offended many people in this economic crisis!

Put down the coffee cup, Andy smiled, reached down the answering machine on his desk, called in the temporary secretary, handed his cell phone to the Secretary, and asked her to take a picture for himself.

Andy stands in front of the floor to ceiling window, blocks the sun, opens his arms, holds a large Starbucks cup in his hand, raises his chin, closes his eyes and makes an intoxicated expression.

"Click -"

after the photo is taken, Andy smiles and takes the mobile phone, looks at it, nods his head with satisfaction, asks the Secretary to leave and opens his ins.

"What can you do in ten seconds?

Blank time always seems long.

So with me, close your eyes and take a deep breath.

Ah......

Do you feel relaxed?

Enjoy a relaxing moment at Starbucks!

I'm Andy Smith. I speak for myself! "
