I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Los Angeles, Guangyao Family Office Headquarters.

Wu Guangyao was sitting in the office, drinking coffee leisurely, looking at the recent achievements of the investment department in his hands;

This is a report on the U.S. retail market for home appliances, consumer electronics, and more.

At this time, home appliance retailers around the world have not yet become popular;

The scale is small, the model is backward, and the whole industry is still groping.

If the emerging home appliance retail model comes to 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 of home appliance retailers by himself, it is still very necessary to invest in and support a chain of home appliance retailers.

The profile of a home appliance retailer born in Minnesota caught Wu Guangyao's eyes;

"This retailer should be the Best Buy of future generations, let's start with them!"

Calling Yuan Tianfan, Wu Guangyao handed him the best buy information;

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

Yuan Tianfan became excited in vain, this was his first big project!

After calming down, Yuan Tianfan thought for a while and asked, "Boss, do you have any share requirements?"

Wu Guangyao nodded and said, "No less than 25%, the more the better, but we can't overwhelm the others! We just need to be investors and have a certain right to speak in the company!"

Yuan Tianfan figured it out, got up and left the office!

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

The team is already in the process of negotiating with Home Depot, and Wu Guangyao has no plans to get involved!

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

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

 …

When Wu Guangyao came to the Starbucks coffee shop in Los Angeles, he naturally raised his head to admire the door of the Starbucks store, which was indeed different from the ones in 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 wearing a crown and two tails is in the middle of the circle;

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

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

After taking over by myself, 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 to see;

And this mermaid can't be exposed, and the lower body has to be hidden.

After looking at the door several times, Wu Guangyao started to walk into Starbucks;

As soon as the door is opened, there is a faint smell of original coffee in the air.

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

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

There are not many customers, there are about ten customers, but there are about twenty tables in the whole store;

Obviously, this attendance rate is not high!

The environment in the store 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 didn't pause for too long, and the waiters at the bar didn't show any abnormalities;

Walking to the bar, Wu Guangyao checked the environment at the bar while ordering food;

"Three lattes!"

Because Wu Guangyao brought two bodyguards, plus Wu Guangyao happened to be three.

"OK!"

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

It can be seen that Starbucks at this time is only a company that focuses on high-quality coffee beans.

No beverage service is provided;

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

They found two tables, one for two bodyguards and one for Wu Guangyao, and everyone sat down!

I made an appointment with Howard Schultz, but Wu Guangyao deliberately arrived an hour earlier, mainly because he wanted to know about Starbucks.

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

"It's actually her!"

Wu Guangyao unexpectedly discovered that Brigitte Lin was sitting alone at the table with a book on the table;

When she was looking at her, Brigitte Lin happened to be looking at Wu Guangyao;

Wu Guangyao smiled at her generously. Seeing Wu Guangyao smiling at her, Brigitte Lin wanted to pretend that she didn't know her to cover her up, but she could only respond with a polite smile.

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

For Wu Guangyao, Brigitte Lin must have known him. Although he is not a celebrity, there is probably no one in the Chinese place who does not know the richest man.

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

"Miss Lin, I never expected to meet you in a foreign country!"

Wu Guangyao didn't care whether Brigitte Lin knew her or not, she had already made up her mind to 'harass' the number one Chinese beauty;

Fortunately, Brigitte Lin knew Wu Guangyao!

"Mr. Wu, hello!"

Seeing that Lin Qingxia was a bit shy, Wu Guangyao's interest was even aroused, so Wu Guangyao pointed to the position opposite Lin Qingxia;

"Can I sit down and talk?"

"kindness!"

Brigitte Lin was a bit confused, she didn't expect this man to be so 'bold', and more importantly, Wu Guangyao had an aura!

Wu Guangyao was amused for a while, the more girls behave like this, the more chances a man has;

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

After a few brief chats, Wu Guangyao glanced at the books on the table, and at a glance saw from the spine that it was Qiong Yao's "Deep Courtyard";

I sighed in my heart, 'This is all a disappointment in love, and if you still look at this thing, wouldn't you be unable to get out! '

"You can read this book at any time, 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 and study at an old American film and television company. …”

Wu Guangyao talked endlessly about how Hollywood is, which aroused Lin Qingxia's interest;

But after thinking about it, Brigitte Lin timidly said: "I just came here, so I'm not familiar with it!"

Opportunity, isn't it coming!

Wu Guangyao smiled and said: "Unfortunately, I am quite familiar with this place, and I am also a shareholder of Universal Pictures and MGM; how about this, you leave a phone number, and I will arrange for you to go to these old Hollywood production companies later. , to have a good experience and learn; it’s not in vain to come to Los Angeles, don’t you think?”

After Wu Guangyao finished speaking, he smiled and looked at Lin Qingxia's face, and soon found that she was very excited!

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

"Thank you, Mr. Wu!"

"It's no need to thank you. It's a kind of fate to meet you in the United States, thousands of miles away; and arranging you to go to Hollywood to experience it is also a piece of cake for me."

Brigitte Lin 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 Brigitte Lin.

Then the two chatted some "superficial" words, when Wu Guangyao saw the people from Goldman Sachs leading Schultz into the coffee shop;

Wu Guangyao stood up and said, "Sorry, we'll talk another day! My guest is here!"

Brigitte Lin quickly said: "It's okay, Mr. Wu is busy!"

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

Schultz obviously already understood something, that is, the world's richest man made an appointment with himself;

As for the purpose, Schultz already had some guesses, and he was quite excited!

"Hello, Mr. Wu, I'm Schultz!"

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

Schultz was a little dumbfounded. The richest man in the world asked himself to experience a coffee shop. Is there any mystery in this?

Wu Guangyao led the bewildered Schultz to repeat the ordering process again. Schultz was a little confused at first, but then quickly adapted, and began to carefully observe every detail of this coffee shop, and soon frowned. Stretch out.

After ordering, the three 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 added: "Look at the coffee at this Starbucks. They are keen on the most original coffee shop grinding. Drinking their coffee is more like a way of work or a way of life."

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

At this time, a fat man in his thirties brought coffee, and when he heard Schultz's words, his heart immediately thumped.

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

Just as Schultz was about to speak, Wu Guangyao said to the fat man serving coffee, "Hi, may I ask, what's your name?"

The fat man has already noticed that Wu Guangyao and others are unusual, especially when there are bodyguards behind Wu Guangyao;

"Hi, my name is Dennis!"

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

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

Wu Guangyao thanked them, and Dennis left their side.

"How about it? Mr. Schultz, are you interested in expanding the size of this coffee shop from four stores to one store!"

Schultz was startled by Wu Guangyao's tone, wouldn't Starbucks coffee shops be spread all over the world.

"May I ask, why did Mr. Wu say that we bought Starbucks together?"

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

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

In the previous life, the highest market value of Starbucks was close to 200 billion U.S. dollars, so 30 is enough for the Wu family!

Schultz pondered for a moment and said, "Can you allow me to think about it for a few days?"

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

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

Obviously, Wu Guangyao occupies the absolute main force!

From products to management, to caring for employees, the two of them had a serious discussion!

In the end, Wu Guangyao sent Schultz away contentedly, and it was obvious that he had already agreed!

Looking at Brigitte Lin thoughtfully, seeing that she was still there, Wu Guangyao walked up again.

Wu Guangyao said, "Have dinner together?"

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

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

But I am very curious about the discussion between Wu Guangyao and Schultz, so I have been observing it so much that I forgot the time!

Whether to agree or not, Brigitte Lin hesitated for a few seconds, and saw Wu Guangyao looking at her with a smile;

Brigitte Lin didn't know what was going on, so she nodded in a strange way.

Wu Guangyao made a gesture of invitation, and the bodyguards had settled the bill for the two of them.

After walking to the parking lot outside, Brigitte Lin realized that this bodyguard team is really too much!

Two bodyguards went in just now, but I didn't expect that there were several more in the motorcade in the parking lot;

What a big show!

 …

When she arrived at the Ritz Hotel in Hollywood, Brigitte Lin quickly discovered that there were unusual girls and handsome guys everywhere;

Wu Guangyao saw her doubts, and introduced: "Hollywood Ritz Hotel, this is the favorite hotel of Hollywood stars. Every year during the Oscar awards ceremony, this hotel is also designated by the organizer, and various celebrations will be held... ..”

Seeing that Wu Guangyao is very familiar with Hollywood, Brigitte Lin was 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, are you two?"

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

"Okay, boss, miss, please follow me!"

Brigitte Lin instantly understood that this hotel probably belonged to the richest man.

When they came to their seats, after the two sat down, the waiter brought Brigitte Lin the menu.

Wu Guangyao introduced her in the tone of a hotel owner, and the charm of an "old man" can be seen everywhere - gentle, considerate, experienced...

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

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

Wu Guangyao felt that the two had a common language!

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

Wu Guangyao has already made a move to bring Brigitte Lin into the banner of Oriental Pictures to shoot a series of action movies and martial arts movies to make money for himself.

"Thank you, actually I filmed "The Legend of the White Snake" in Hong Kong, but the box office wasn't very good!"

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

Seeing Wu Guangyao always talking about her favorite topics, Brigitte Lin quickly relaxed;

I thought to myself, so this tycoon is so down-to-earth!
