"Don't throw out the issue of tax avoidance in a hurry. Continuous pressing attacks may not have a greater effect. Aren't many people on the Internet expressing unacceptable behavior of Starbucks' store closure?

Let the Internet trolls make a hot topic of "My Starbucks", please don't turn off my Starbucks!

Why is Starbucks so successful? One of the answers is that Starbucks does not just sell coffee, it also provides a place where people can communicate and interact to the greatest extent.

Now that this venue is gone, not only consumers will be depressed and disappointed, but even the governments of various cities will stand up to express their disappointment. We must keep Starbucks sufficiently concerned.

After the topic is hyped up, the issue of tax avoidance will be raised first and then lowered. The British will boycott it under the guidance of public opinion because of the issue of tax avoidance. Sales in overseas markets and corporate ethics will become important factors affecting stock prices. up. "

The corners of Andy's mouth were slightly upturned, with a faint smile on his face. This was the first time he had planned and experienced a hostile takeover plan. In his opinion, what was more important was that this was his practice. Grinding his team and preparing for the future.

Starbucks is an important part of Andy's business blueprint planning. He needs tens of thousands of Starbucks chain stores in the United States, which will make his plan to win the bank meaningful, because what he wants is to make Starbucks a Next will be very popular Internet + enterprises.

The dedicated APP supports remote ordering, getting coffee at the store without waiting in line, and the most important promotion and application of mobile payment. When Starbucks gradually becomes some people's attitude towards life, the mobile payment that Andy has always been thinking about is It will also become a living habit of these people.

It costs a lot of money and time to simply advertise and promote a new software. Now, this mobile payment is directly grafted to Starbucks, and some activities such as points are launched. In this way, not only the return rate of Starbucks It will increase rapidly, and the mobile payment that Andy thinks will have a group of loyal users, and then it will slowly expand and penetrate into other industries.

This way of expansion and penetration is nothing new to anyone in China who has accepted the promotion of Xbaopay and Xxinpay. After all, as a leading mobile payment country in the world, the cashless lifestyle is too common.

Of course, Andy will not tell others about this plan until he wins Starbucks, but he has already established two new development teams in Liberty City Technology Company, and is already developing the Starbucks APP intensively. A third-party payment system is also in development.

At that time, Starbucks will be used to promote the payment system first, and then all the products belonging to its online and offline companies will be connected in series, so that a complete closed inner loop ecosystem can be easily completed.

For a large Internet group, the establishment of an internal circulation ecosystem is its development and expectation goal, because it will enclose all users in this ecosystem, and when a living habit is formed, they can lie down. It's time to make money!

This is true for Ali, and even more so for Fat Penguin!

When Andy completes the final integration of all enterprises, people may find that what Andy established is a greedy tentacle monster with teeth and claws. The tentacles will continue to extend to various industries, and eventually become a Norwegian sea monster. company.

After the meeting, Andy returned to the office, with his eyes slightly squinted, and his fingers twirling back and forth on the bitten apple on the icrazy phone on the table.

Negotiations between Apple and the two major communication companies in Rabbit Country have been going on for several months, and Andy knows better than anyone that the real rise of Apple's mobile phone began when it entered the Chinese market.

Or it should be said that if there is no Chinese market, Apple may still be great, but it will never grow so crazy into a giant monster company.

When the icrazy mobile phone lands in Tianchao, the huge pit contracts that Andy signed with Apple before will probably be reversed. The confidence will make Apple not afraid of Andy's contract restrictions. Game companies and APP stores will even be blocked by Apple. restrictions and threats.

The time to threaten Apple is running out!

Andy picked up the mobile phone on the table, walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the street scene of Wall Street, and kept flipping the mobile phone with his hands behind his back.

However, there are still opportunities to check and balance Apple, and Andy has been silently waiting for the opportunity and accumulating strength.

"Hehe, Jobs, I prepared a big meal for you in Tianchao, I hope you can enjoy it!" Thinking of the trademarks registered in Tianchao in his hand, Andy sneered and said to himself.

After dinner, Andy in casual clothes nestled cross-legged on the sofa, took the remote control and tuned the TV to the live broadcast of the game between the Rockets and the Supersonics.

This season, due to the signing of strong support by various teams in the West, the difference from first to sixth is only 3.5 games. The fifth-ranked Rockets have surpassed the Jazz in winning percentage, but because the Jazz are the division champions, the Rockets can only rank fifth according to the rules.

However, the Rockets, the Lakers, and the Spurs are only one game away, so if the Rockets perform well in the remaining five games, then they will most likely enter the playoffs in second place and lay a good foundation for the second round.

"Honey, coffee."

"Thank you." Andy smiled and took the coffee handed over by Ivana who was only wearing a suspender nightdress.

Ivana smiled sweetly and sat next to Andy, watched the game on TV, and asked curiously: "Recently, the rumors that Tracy McGrady was traded have been raging, why didn't the Rockets' management come out to refute the rumors? You Really decided to sell him."

"Hmm!" After taking a sip of coffee, Andy leaned forward, put the coffee cup on the table, and put his arms around Ivana's plump body, "He doesn't have much fighting spirit now, and his mental quality is very poor. Lacking a brave heart, he has been using the so-called shoulder injury to avoid laziness, and often does not even participate in regular training, but fortunately Dayao has returned.

The rumor is that I asked the management not to refute the rumors, except that I want to see how deadly this McGrady can be, and I hope that this pressure can give this guy a little motivation to explode a few more times in the playoffs and squeeze him final residual value. "

"Do you want to play at a high level in order to show your value? Maybe, he should have sensed the team's attitude towards him. Even if he is angry, his agent will ask him to fight hard in order to gain an advantage in the negotiation." Yeah, maybe punch someone in the face, cluck..."

Ivana was talking, with a gloating smile on her face, and giggled coquettishly.

"Slap me in the face? Hehe, I hope, but he has no fighting spirit, just a salty fish. Look, this summer is the last peak of his career! But, since I was slapped in the face, you are so happy, It seems that I need to practice hitting the ball with both hands, and teach you a good lesson, you little demon Jing! Watch me shoot left and right..."

"Ah—hate, giggle, don't make trouble... I was wrong..."

On the sofa in the living room, a couple of dogs and men rolled into a ball and played together. Ivana's uncomfortable laughter and the sound of surrender filled the living room.
