Chapter 605 【Encounter! 】

  Los Angeles, the headquarters of the Guangyao Family Office.

  Wu Guangyao sits in the office, sipping coffee leisurely, watching the recent achievements of the investment department in his hands;

  This is a report on the retail market of home appliances, consumer electronics and other products in the United States.

  At this time, home appliance retailers all over the world have not yet become a climate;

  Small scale, backward model, and the whole industry is still exploring.

  If the new retail model of home appliances comes on the market, it will have a great impact on Lenovo Group;

  Under the emerging model, these terminal retailers have great advantages. If there are enough stores, they can directly affect the pricing of a large electrical appliance manufacturer;

  Although Wu Guangyao did not intend to establish a chain home appliance retailer himself, it is still very necessary to buy a share and support a chain home appliance retailer.

  The information of a home appliance retailer born in Minnesota is greeted by Wu Guangyao;

  "This retailer should be the best buy of future generations. Let's start talking with them!"

  Called Yuan Tianfan, Wu Guangyao handed him the information of Best Buy;

  "This home appliance retailer, you lead the team to contact them first, about our shareholding!"

  Yuan Tianfan got excited in vain, this is the first big project he has done!

  After feeling calm, Yuan Tianfan thought for a while and asked: "Boss, is there any share requirement for shares?"

  Wu Guangyao nodded and said: "Not less than 25%, the more the better, but it can't be overwhelming! We only need to be investors and have a certain right to speak in the company!"

  Yuan Tianfan knew it well, got up and left the office!

  Wu Guangyao came to the United States this time, in addition to starbucks and Best Buy, two future giants, there is also a future furniture and building materials retail giant-Home Depot.

  Home Depot's negotiation, the team is already in progress, Wu Guangyao has no plans to participate!

  Because Home Depot is not a non-buy product, but Best Buy must buy a share, which is conducive to the sales of Lenovo Group’s products;

  Starbucks coffee should be the best buy, and negotiation should be the easiest.

  Wu Guangyao came to the Starbucks coffee shop in Los Angeles, and he naturally looked up and admired the door of Starbucks. It was really different from later generations;

  At this time, the main color of the Starbucks trademark LOGO is brown as the background, white as the pattern, and a mermaid with a crown and two tails is in the middle of the circle;

  Well, the mermaid is still a bit exposed, and a pair of small white bumps on her chest are very eye-catching.

Although   LOGO is somewhat different from later generations, the main body is still roughly the same;

  After taking over, this mark should turn green as soon as possible. Although brown is the same color as the coffee shop, it is not good for people's vision;

  And this mermaid cannot be exposed, and the lower body must be hidden.

  After looking at the door for a few times, Wu Guangyao began to walk into Starbucks;

  As soon as the door was opened, there was a hint of authentic coffee in the air.

  "Welcome, what kind of coffee do you need? Here is a menu for you to choose from!" A young man greeted warmly at the bar.

  Wu Guangyao nodded, and began to look at the entire interior of the coffee shop!

  There are not many guests, there are about ten guests, but there are about twenty tables in the entire store;

  Obviously, this attendance rate is not high!

  The whole store environment is very clean and comfortable, which makes Wu Guangyao very satisfied;

  It seems that the management of Starbucks is still acceptable!

  Although Wu Guangyao was observing the entire store environment, he did not pause for too long, and the waiter at the bar did not show any abnormalities;

  Walking to the bar, Wu Guangyao orders a meal while checking the environment in the bar;

   "Three Lattes!"

  Because Wu Guangyao took two bodyguards, and Wu Guangyao was exactly three.

"OK!"

  After ordering the meal, Wu Guangyao did not leave the bar, but waited and watched;

  It can be seen that Starbucks at this time is only a company focused on high-quality coffee beans, and does not provide beverage services;

  And there are only a few types of coffee, each of which is freshly ground and brewed by the clerk.

  I found two tables, one for two bodyguards and one for Wu Guangyao. Everyone sat down!

   had an appointment with Howard Schultz, but Wu Guangyao arrived one hour earlier, mainly to get to know Starbucks.

  At this time, Wu Guangyao’s eyes suddenly stopped on a Chinese woman;

   "It's actually her!"

  Wu Guangyao unexpectedly found Lin Qingxia alone at a table with a book on the table;

  When she looked at her, Brigitte Lin also looked at Wu Guangyao;

  Wu Guangyao smiled generously at her. When Lin Qingxia saw Wu Guangyao smiling at herself, she wanted to pretend not to know her and cover her, so she could only respond with a polite smile.

Lin Qingxia recognized Wu Guangyao the moment she walked into the coffee shop, but she was worried that her reputation was too small in Hong Kong and Wu Guangyao might not know herself, so she didn't plan to say hello;

  For Wu Guangyao, Brigitte Lin must know him. Although he is not a celebrity, in the place of Chinese, I am afraid that no one does not know the richest man.

   Seeing Brigitte Lin responded to her, Wu Guangyao walked over without hesitation;

   "Miss Lin, I didn't expect to meet you in a foreign country!"

  Wu Guangyao doesn’t care whether Brigitte Lin knows herself or not, she has already made up her mind to "harass and harass" the top Chinese beauty;

  Fortunately, Brigitte Lin knew Wu Guangyao!

   "Mr. Wu, hello!"

  Seeing that Brigitte Lin was a bit shy, which aroused Wu Guangyao’s interest, so Wu Guangyao pointed to the position opposite Brigitte Lin;

   "Is it convenient for me to sit down and talk?"

"Yep!"

   Lin Qingxia is a little bit of a spirit and no master, I didn’t expect this man to be so ‘daring’. What’s more important is that Wu Guangyao has a momentum in him!

  Wu Guangyao was amused for a while, the more girls behave like this, the greater the chances of men;

  Because you have lost the courage to refuse, you will step into the trap of man hunting step by step.

  Simple chatting, Wu Guangyao glanced at the books on the table, and at a glance, he could tell from the spine that it was Qiong Yao’s "Deep Courtyard";

   sighed in his heart, ‘this is all frustrated in love, but looking at this thing, isn’t it possible to get out! ’

  "You can read this book anytime, but since you are in the United States, you should put down these books and experience the human landscape here; you are not an actor, you can go to Hollywood to visit, go to the United States old film and television company to study and study"

  Wu Guangyao talked endlessly about how Hollywood is, which aroused the interest of Brigitte Lin;

  For a second, Lin Qingxia said timidly: "I just came here, a little unfamiliar!"

  Opportunity, isn’t it here?

Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "Unfortunately, I am familiar with this side, and they are shareholders of Universal Pictures and MGM; so, you leave a phone number, and I will arrange for you to go to these old Hollywood studios later. , Have a good experience and study; it's not in vain to come to Los Angeles, don't you think?"

  Wu Guangyao finished speaking and looked at Brigitte Lin’s face with a smile, and soon found that she was very moved!

  Think about it, too, she is an actor herself, how can she not be curious about Hollywood?

   "Thank you, Mr. Wu!"

   "It's no thanks. It is a kind of fate to be able to meet in the United States thousands of miles away; and arranging you to go to Hollywood to experience it is also a simple task for me."

Lin Qingxia wrote her contact information on a bookmark, and handed it to Wu Guangyao with both hands!

After Wu Guangyao took over, he wrote his contact information to Lin Qingxia.

  Then the two chatted with some ‘superficial’ remarks, when Wu Guangyao saw the Goldman Sachs’s people walking into the coffee shop with Schultz;

  Wu Guangyao got up and said, "Sorry, we will talk another day! My guest is here!"

   Lin Qingxia said quickly: "It's okay, Mr. Wu, you are busy!"

  Wu Guangyao smiled and then turned to the people of Schultz and Goldman Sachs, stretched out his right hand to Schultz, and said: "Hello, Mr. Schultz, I am Wu Guangyao."

  Schultz has clearly understood something, that is, the world’s richest man asks himself;

  As for the purpose, Schultz already has some guesses, and he is more excited in his heart!

  "Hello, Mr. Wu, this is Schultz!"

  After greeting, Wu Guangyao said to Schultz: "Mr. Schultz, welcome to experience this coffee shop carefully!"

  Schultz is a bit dumbfounded. The world's richest man calls himself to experience a coffee shop. Is there any mystery?

Wu Guangyao repeated the ordering process again with a dazed Schultz. Schultz was a little dazed at first, and then quickly adapted, began to observe every detail of this coffee shop seriously, and soon brows. Stretch out.

  After ordering the meal, the three of them came to the table.

   "Mr. Schultz, do you like coffee?" Wu Guangyao asked first.

  Schultz nodded and said, "I like coffee very much. I drink more than three cups of coffee every day!"

   Wu Guangyao said again: “Look at this Starbucks coffee again. They are keen on the most primitive coffee shop grinding. Drinking their coffee is more like a way of working or a way of life.”

   Schultz tentatively asked: "Mr. Wu intends to acquire Starbucks?"

  At this time, it happened that a fat man in his thirties served his coffee. Hearing what Schultz said, his heart thumped.

  Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "It's not me, but we bought Starbucks together!"

  Schultz was about to talk, Wu Guangyao said to the fat man who was in the coffee, "Hello, can I ask, what is your name?"

  The fat man has already noticed the unusualness of Wu Guangyao and others, especially the bodyguard behind Wu Guangyao;

   "Hello, my name is Dennis!"

   Wu Guangyao said again: "Can you tell us about the history of Starbucks?"

  Dennis readily agreed and told the two of the history of Starbucks;

  Wu Guangyao thanked him, and Dennis left the two of them.

  "How about? Mr. Schultz, are you interested in expanding the scale of this coffee shop from 4 stores to 10,000 stores!"

  Schultz was frightened by Wu Guangyao's tone. Wouldn't the 10,000 Starbucks coffee shops spread all over the world?

   "May I ask, why does Mr. Wu say that we will buy Starbucks together?"

Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "It's very simple, I pay the money, you pay the people, we work together to expand Starbucks! After the acquisition of Starbucks, you can first get a 5% equity; we will set the development goal later. Every time you achieve a goal, you will get an equity; according to my vision, if you can expand Starbucks around the world, you can get at least 25% of the equity."

  Wu Guangyao's initial shareholding ratio is very heavy, but he will gradually release his shareholding in the future;

  The highest market value of Starbucks in the previous life was close to 200 billion U.S. dollars. It is enough for the Wu family to take 30% to 40%!

  Schultz pondered for a moment, and said, "Can I think about it for a few days?"

  Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "Of course, I will write you a phone number for my family office, you can contact us anytime you think about it!"

  After this, the two chatted about some ideas about coffee business;

  Obviously, Wu Guangyao occupies the absolute main force!

  From product to management, to caring for employees, both of them seriously discussed!

  Finally, Wu Guangyao sent Schultz away contentedly, and he could see that he had agreed!

  Looking at Brigitte Lin with a wistful look, Wu Guangyao walked up again to see that the people were still there.

  Wu Guangyao said: "Let’s have dinner together?"

Lin Qingxia was taken aback, looked at her watch, and found that it was almost time for dinner;

  According to the usual rules, I should have left the coffee shop;

  But I’m very curious about the discussion between Wu Guangyao and Schultz, so I have been observing it all the time, so I forgot the time!

   Yes or no, Brigitte Lin hesitated for less than a few seconds, and saw Wu Guangyao looking at herself with a smile;

   Lin Qingxia didn't know what was going on, she nodded her head in a ghostly manner.

  Wu Guangyao made a request, and the bodyguard had already settled the bills for the two of them.

  Waiting to walk to the parking lot outside, Lin Qingxia realized that this team of bodyguards is too much!

   Two bodyguards just went in, but I didn’t expect that there were still several on the caravan in the parking lot;

  What a big show!

  When we arrived at the Ritz Hotel in Hollywood, Brigitte Lin quickly discovered that it was unusual here, with beautiful girls and handsome guys everywhere;

  Wu Guangyao saw her question and introduced: “Hollywood Ritz Hotel, this is the favorite hotel of Hollywood stars. During the annual Oscar awards, this is also the hotel designated by the organizer, and various celebrations will be held.”

  Seeing that Wu Guangyao is very familiar with Hollywood, and Lin Qingxia is a little curious;

Lin Qingxia asked curiously: "Mr. Wu, why are you so familiar with Hollywood?"

   Soon, a hotel manager told Lin Qingxia the answer.

   "BOSS, two people?"

   "Well, arrange a good position by the window!"

   "Okay, BOSS, Miss, please follow me!"

   Lin Qingxia instantly understood that this hotel probably belongs to the richest man.

   came to the position, after the two sat down, the waiter brought the menu to Lin Qingxia.

  Wu Guangyao introduced her in the tone of the hotel owner, and the charm from the ‘old man’ can be reflected everywhere-gentle, considerate and experienced

  This makes Brigitte Lin, who is only 25 years old, secretly immersed in it, and being rich is really a kind of enjoyment!

  In fact, when Wu Guangyao approached Brigitte Lin at the beginning, it was the boss of Hong Kong Oriental Pictures to open the situation;

  Wu Guangyao thinks this way, the two talents have a common language!

   "Miss Lin, you actually have a heroic spirit in you. I personally think that if you shoot a martial arts movie, the effect should be very good!"

  Wu Guangyao has moved to pull Brigitte Lin into the banner of Oriental Pictures, shooting a series of action movies, martial arts movies, and making money for himself.

   "Thank you, I actually filmed "The True White Snake" in Hong Kong, but the box office was not very good!"

"The box office is not good, that's a script problem! You have to trust my vision, you have to know that Bruce Lee was discovered by me; in Hollywood, I also discovered a lot of good directors and actors, such as the director of "Star Wars", Stallone, these Hollywood stars."

   Lin Qingxia saw that Wu Guangyao always talked about her favorite topics, and soon relaxed;

  I thought to myself that this tycoon was so grounded!
