Yes, this is just the beginning.
With the development of the Internet, Galaxy Network Company can really make money! At that time, network hardware devices such as network cards, routers, and switches will be in short supply.
After lunch, everyone frantically spent an afternoon in New York before returning to the hotel to rest in the evening.
When the stock market closed that day, the market value of Galaxy Networks reached a shocking $12.5 billion!
If a startup with a market value of more than one billion US dollars in the previous life can be called a "unicorn company", if it was placed in the 1980s, a market value of hundreds of millions of US dollars could also be regarded as a "unicorn company". It is conceivable that the market value of Galaxy Network Company, which is as high as more than ten billion US dollars, has set off a wave in the United States!
Overnight, technology stocks swept the Nasdaq again!
Tian Shuai, Zhang Yan and others were so excited that they could not sleep, and sang very late in the KTV room of the hotel.
The next morning, Li Zetian chartered a plane and returned to Los Angeles.
Lying on the soft and comfortable seat, Li Zetian took out the CD-Walkman, put on headphones, and listened to songs with his eyes closed to pass the time. Played too late last night, and many people made up for sleep on the plane.
Six hours later, the plane arrived in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles enjoys pleasant weather all year round, with mild and sunny summers.
Li Zetian also fell asleep on the plane, and woke up refreshed. After getting off the plane, he went to meet the manager of Boeing. Dongfang Yuqin had already made an appointment for him to meet at the Starbucks coffee shop near the airport.
Starbucks coffee shop.
"Hello, Mr. Li, I'm Noah Sheridan from Boeing!" Greeting Li Zetian was a middle-aged man in his forties, tall and thin, with short hair, a high nose, and a face. The part is well-defined, wearing a pair of white-rimmed glasses, and speaking in a baritone voice, which is very magnetic.
Li Zetian smiled, shook hands with him and said, "Hello, Noah Sheridan. Please sit down, we'll talk about things later, let's order a cup of coffee first. Although the Starbucks coffee shop has not been open for a long time, it has a long history. The ingredients are all top-quality coffee beans, and the taste is very good. Many white-collar petty bourgeoisie in the United States like it very much!”
self boasting!
As the owner of Starbucks, Li Zetian is naturally obliged to recommend his company.
Noah Sheridan nodded with a smile and waved to the waiter.
"Sir, do you have any orders?" The waiter came over and asked softly.
"Two cups of the best coffee you have here!" Noah Sheridan was apparently here for the first time.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
Soon, the coffee was served, steaming hot with an intoxicating aroma.
Li Zetian actually drank coffee at Starbucks for the first time.
Frankly speaking, Starbucks coffee is not actually the top coffee. The coffee at Li Zetian’s house is much better than here. There are ten most expensive coffees in the world, such as Esmeralda Manor Geisha Coffee, which is produced in Panama, at $350.25/lb ;Cat feces coffee, made in Indonesia, $160/lb... I have Yu Jingqiu at home, what delicious and delicious things are not prepared!
I took a sip of the coffee and it tasted good.
Starbucks coffee is not very expensive and the cafe environment is good, no wonder it is so popular!
Li Zetian put down the coffee cup at this time and started talking about business.
"Mr. Sheridan, I asked you to meet this time, in fact, I want to order a Boeing 747 from Boeing!"
Although Sheridan was prepared, he was still very excited when he heard this.
As the richest man in the world, Li Zetian has a huge influence. If he buys Boeing's aircraft as a private jet, he will undoubtedly make other rich people follow suit. This is the so-called celebrity effect!
Without waiting for Sheridan to speak, Li Zetian said: "The Boeing 747-300 is the latest model of the Boeing 747. It was delivered in April 1983, and Swissair was the first user. However, as far as I know, the Boeing 747- The 300 is a transition model between the -200 and -400, and Boeing is preparing to develop a more advanced Boeing 747-400?"
Sheridan nodded and admitted, "Yes, Mr. Li, so, do you want to order a Boeing 747-400? If so, you may have to wait three or four years... But If you want to buy a Boeing 747-300, Boeing can deliver it to you very quickly!"
The Boeing 747-300 is a transitional product, and Li Zetian won't use it!
First use the Boeing 747-400 for more than ten years, and then wait for Airbus to launch the A380, and then replace the A380.
After thinking about it, Li Zetian immediately replied: "I want to order Boeing 747-400!"
"Okay, Mr. Li." Sheridan said, "The entire Boeing 747 series is in the same vein. The Boeing 747-400 is an improved and extended-range version of the 747-300. You must have any requirements for the modification of the aircraft. You can put it forward. We can also make unique designs according to your requirements.”
"As for how to transform it?" Li Zetian thought about it and said, "I will send someone to contact Boeing later to follow up the entire project! In fact, I haven't figured out how to transform it. First, I will ask you to meet and call Say hello."
"Boeing welcomes you anytime and is here to serve you!"
Sheridan said, "Mr. Li, when the Boeing 747-400 is designed, I will send someone to introduce the 747-400 to you in detail?"
"Um."
Soft and beautiful music was playing in the cafe, and Li Zetian and Sheridan soon ended their meeting. Although the deal didn't come to fruition right away, it would speed up the turnaround time for private jets. When the Boeing 747-400 was launched, Li Zetian's private jet was also built, saving a long time for reconstruction.
After Sheridan returned to Boeing, he told the company about his conversation with Li Zetian.
Boeing attaches great importance to Li Zetian as a user, and can not help but set up a special group responsible for contacting Li Zetian. In the words of Boeing's CEO, "Chronos Li is a golden sign with a 'headline aura', and no matter what he does, he will attract the attention of the media. His private jet will definitely attract the world's attention! In any case, Boeing must seize this opportunity!"
Li Zetian did not leave the Starbucks coffee shop immediately, but met here with Howard Schultz, the new Starbucks CEO, and listened to his report on his work.
Under his management and the support of Li Zetian's financial resources, Starbucks has grown at a rocket-like speed. In one year, 35 coffee shops have been opened in the United States. Starbucks coffee is deeply loved by American white-collar workers, and the business is extremely hot.
"What Starbucks sells is not coffee, but people's experience of coffee! This is the secret of Starbucks standing out in many coffee shops and winning." Howard Schultz said to Li Zetian.
Li Zetian nodded and looked around, it was true.
As soon as you walk into Starbucks, you feel different from other coffee shops.
Each Starbucks coffee shop is unique and has a unique layout design according to the local environmental characteristics.
Soft lighting and a clean environment, large soft sofas and smooth wooden tables and chairs seem to be placed randomly, polished marble bar counter looks exquisite craftsmanship, elegant coffee making utensils and exquisite gift mugs and cups Pads, it can be seen that the concept is exquisite. The colours of the lamps, walls, tables and the mermaid logo range from green to shades of coffee – trying to imitate the tones of coffee to create a harmony between nature and people.
In addition, Starbucks has also invested heavily in food research and development, and has developed many new products. Coffee beans are sorted by flavor, allowing customers to choose their favorite coffee according to their taste. Light and lively, attractive and invigorating, is "lively flavor"; rounded taste, balanced aroma, smooth texture, full body, is "rich flavor"; has a unique aroma , The most attractive is the "rough style"...
"Without Howard Schultz, I'm afraid there would be no Starbucks. Schultz is really good. It seems that he did not use the wrong person. No wonder he was able to develop a small chain coffee company into a market value of nearly 90 billion US dollars in his previous life. Giant…”
Li Zetian nodded secretly, once again making him realize the importance of talents.
Li Zetian has so many companies, and he basically manages like sheep, which requires highly capable professional managers!
"Schultz, I am very satisfied with your work, so I decided to give you an extra 1% of the shares as a reward, and you will have 6% of the original shares before the company goes public!"
Howard Schultz was pleasantly surprised when he heard this.
"Thank you Mr. Li!!!"
"That's right! I've never been stingy with talent! Work hard, your future is boundless!" Li Zetian patted his shoulder and said.
