There was silence in the conference room, and everyone's eyes focused on the face of Howard Schultz, founder and CEO of Starbucks.

Although Howard Schultz had long been mentally prepared, when he heard the other party's request, his heart was still cold.

When he bought Starbucks, because of his lack of funds, he took a group of investors to complete the acquisition. In order to better control the company, he spared no effort to diversify the company's equity.

Due to the diversified shareholdings, there is a serious "free-rider" phenomenon in the supervision and management. As a result, the minority shareholders have little incentive to participate in the proxy competition and are unable to engage in these activities.

In addition, Starbucks operation became an insider control, and his operator became the leader, and Starbucks was deeply labeled with Howard Schultz, so he could return to the king again after leaving Starbucks!

However, this mechanism of decentralization of shareholdings now also has fatal shortcomings. Once the interests of small shareholders are damaged, they will use the exit mechanism and takeover to restrain the operators.

When a company severely departs from profit maximization, small shareholders will sell its stock, causing the company's stock price to drop. When it drops to a certain level, the value of the company will be seriously underestimated. At this time, some people will be higher than the market price. Acquire the company's stock, reorganize the board of directors after the holding amount is reached, and appoint a new operator.

The potential threat of takeover requires managers to work hard and move closer to the best interests of shareholders.

Howard Schultz's deep eyes met Olin Smith, who was right, "Business is so cruel."

After his return, he closed 600 stores in a frantic manner, wielding the layoffs and let Starbucks management lose the trust of the small shareholders. Now a hungry wolf has come in, and they are dying without any effort to fight back.

The request of the other party is not so much a request as another temptation of 'who agrees and who opposes'.

The general situation has gone, and the consequence of disagreement is that the other party will immediately start the reorganization of the board of directors and clean the company management!

"We seem to have lost our choice, haven't we?"

Looking at Howard Schultz's helpless and tangled expression, hearing his words full of loss, Olin Smith didn't say anything, just looked at the other with a smile and said.

"Mr. Schultz, for Starbucks, you are the creator and soul figure. Your feelings and importance for Starbucks are very clear to him. His admission will not change anything. This reform, Smith Mr. also agrees very much, and your reform plan will get more support.

Starbucks needs to end the bad decline as soon as possible and get back on track! "...

"... Starbucks' board of directors, shareholders and all employees are optimistic about the joining of Mr. Andy Smith ..."

"Oh, Olin, I have just talked with Howard Schultz on the phone. The other party's attitude is very sincere and the communication is smooth. However, the plan to buy back Starbucks shares cannot be stopped. The more the better, the potentially taken over. The danger must be eliminated.

This is the first listed company I acquired. I don't want to be kicked out by a sudden opponent in the future! "

Andy leaned on the sofa in the living room, watching Howard Schultz talked to the reporter on the TV, talking on the phone, and a vacant Lushan Claw was in Ivana's arms. Here, rubbing the spiral pills.

As Chakra's shape changed more and more, Ivana's beautiful eyes became misty, and her eyes were as silky as a mermaid moving in the arms of Andy.

"Well, I know. After Thanksgiving, I'll fly to Seattle personally, formally host Starbucks, and take over as chairman. By the way, Olin, I'm going to let you take over as the chief financial officer of Starbucks ..."

Andy raised an eyebrow at Ivana who was red on the cheeks of her 撩 bo, biting the face of Saolang who was bitterly red, and she couldn't help moving it, looking up, and then pointed her finger at the shivering Xiao Andy, Go on.

"You know, I ca n’t keep an eye on Starbucks, and I do n’t want to interfere too much with Howard Schultz's work and operations. Well, huh, huh, it's nothing, but the financial part must be our own ... "

Hanging up the phone, Andy's mouth slightly tilted, and his face with a soothing expression was facing 360 degrees without dead ends. Ivana, who gave it a spa, said proudly: "From today, Starbucks is officially included in my career map. Haha ... "

Feeling the gentle palm of his own man stroking his hair, Ivana's face showed a happy sweet smile, and she looked up at Andy's arrogant and proud smile. The cheerful and hearty laughter became more beautiful.

The two desk lamps exude dim light, dissipating the darkness in the luxurious bedroom, and the large and large creation, Andy and Ivana are cuddling and sleeping. Since Ivana is in the prenatal period, they can only hang the war-free card. .

Of course, the frontal battlefield cannot be opened, and there are other options. Therefore, Andy, who captured two consecutive doors, and Ivana, who had lost her helmet and armor, slept soundly.

Buzz

On the head cabinet, the mobile phone was constantly buzzing, and the cabinet's cabinet was making a sound, which has been buzzing endlessly.

"Ok?"

Andy frowned, and closed his eyes uneasily and took away his resting Lushan's claws resting on the hill, turned back and stretched his arms, grabbed the mobile phone, didn't even look at it, confused directly Pick it up.

"Say"

"what!"

The tightly closed sleepy eyes opened sharply, Andy's eyes widened angrily, and his teeth groaned in a low voice: "This group of **** bodies, Pooh!"

"Ahem ..."

In the study of a mansion apartment in Manhattan, Jon Mitcham in pajamas looked constipated with a crying expression, and quickly coughed. Although he didn't know what his boss said, it was definitely a curse full of discrimination. It's better to pretend you didn't hear it, after all, this is politically incorrect.

However, looking at the last e-mail sent by his journalist, his complexion became very difficult again. For the Indians who put their journalist in great danger, he also hated his teeth.

"Boss, it was very safe in the hotel's" back room ", but a **** Indian official gave a telephone interview to the TV station, and the local TV station broadcasted it directly. The terrorists learned from the TV that this exposed the back room. Anil recorded the entire process in the email ... "

"This group of idiots! I hope our people can be safe! This thing must not be so calculated. I will call the Secretary of State. This is a murder. You send the mail to AMC's Pleple and all its newspapers. Tomorrow In the morning, I want to see reports of strong condemnation, let the world know how stupid these idiots are! "

Andy quickly made a wound carefully, picked up a nightgown from the side, and stomped away from the bedroom, pushed the door through the corridor and entered the study, angrily cursing.

He knew that Asan was unreliable, but he did not expect it to be so unreliable. For his own reporter's safety, he suppressed the first-hand report, and the Asan would directly broadcast the interview directly, exposing the position and letting more People are in danger, tmb, idiots have a limit!
