Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 467
"Mr. Goizueta, hahaha, I remember him! He is a man with great management skills. Is he the president of Coca-Cola now? He is finally on the right track!"

Exam week in December went by so fast.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the Christmas holidays are upon us again.Before leaving, Carter came to the School of Management and found Professor Thompson to learn more about the deeds of the Coca-Cola president.

Well prepared, not just for Yale sponsorship issues.Buffett's investment in Coca-Cola stock, I believe many people have heard of it, Carter said he doesn't care about such a Georgia giant company, that is a lie.

Just now, Coca-Cola's stock value has reached as high as 43 billion US dollars, and the business chain is also huge.In addition to having contact with some marketing personnel of Coca-Cola, Carter actually doesn't know much about Coca-Cola.

Now that I have the opportunity to get in touch with the president of Coca-Cola, I can't let it go.
"What does it mean to be on the right path?"

"Hahaha, because the manager is what he should be doing! Do you know what that kid did when he first got into Coca-Cola? Chemical engineer, my God! He is actually a technician! Although, I don't deny his chemistry class Professor Cynthia Singer once praised him for his achievements, but compared to technology, management is where he is really talented!"

Professor Thompson laughed until the age lines on his forehead were wrinkled together, his pupils were out of focus, as if he had returned to the past:

"I remember that he was ten years younger than me. He should be 48 years old this year. When I first met him, I was not a professor, and Yale didn't have a School of Management. His weird southern accent, oh yes, he The accent is really weird! It's like a mixture of Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, etc.!"

"Like Indian English?"

"No, Japanese English! I don't mean Japanese, you know? It's Japanese."

"Hahahaha, I understand! It seems that before I go to see him, I might have to prepare an interpreter."

"Hahaha, no way. After all these years, it's impossible for his accent to be as weird as it used to be."

After making a little joke and making the atmosphere lively, Professor Thompson looked at Carter with a smile:

"Speaking of which, he is somewhat similar to you. His greatest talent in management, I think, lies in his long-term vision. Compared with immediate interests, he values ​​growth more! We held a model competition back then, and almost all All the students are thinking about where to start, which can reduce the operating cost of the enterprise and improve work efficiency, but he alone is silently designing a set of systems and norms that can motivate people and can operate for a long time."

"In the business ethics class, I will tell you how to run a business. While considering economic benefits, we must also consider the issue of sustainable development. He planted the root for me. It is like a flash in the pan, like fireworks. We have seen many splendid companies, but few of them can survive to this day."

"I often think that we, as business managers, are just like pilots who fly airplanes. While learning how to let the plane of the enterprise take off, we must also learn to land! Pilots who can't land, if they go to the sky, hahahaha .”

"indeed."

Think of the former Jack Ma, from "Papa Horse" to
Carter secretly wrote down the words of Professor Thompson:

"So personally, does he have any hobbies? You know, it will be convenient for me to prepare some gifts for my visit!"

"Hahaha, you don't have to worry about this. Mr. Goizueta is Cuban, and he has the unique hospitality of Cubans. It's fine to prepare normally, of course, if you can prepare some special delicacies, such as roast milk Pigs, lobsters, and ice cream would be even better!"

Cuban? !

Carter frowned, and suddenly thought of the acquisition call from Coca-Cola that he had received in HT Company earlier.
Thanks to Professor Thompson, Carter temporarily put the phone call behind him and prepared a gift for his upcoming visit to Goizueta.

Suckling pig, Carter was going to get from North Carolina.I remember that Julian's brother once said that North Carolina's roast pig is famous all over the United States!

As for the lobster, of course it’s Boston. Although he doesn’t know what the Bolong is, he often hears about it in the future.
Although it is a bit strange, it is also a kind of intention, isn't it?At least, people in Central and South America are generally more spicy than Americans.

When Carter got everything ready, the time had come to December 1981, 12.

For the students, the holiday has already entered at this time, but for the social people, it is still far away from the annual holiday!This is the perfect time to visit!

"Hi, I'm Carter Black. I have an appointment with Mr. Goizueta this afternoon."

After waiting outside Coca-Cola for a while, Carter took the gift and walked to the front desk.Of course, roast suckling pig and so on are naturally sent to the restaurant first.
"Carter? Hahaha, nice to meet you, young man."

Goizueta really had the enthusiasm of the Cubans. When he saw Carter appearing at the door of the office, he immediately got up and greeted him.He doesn't have the airs of being the president of a large company.

It's just that accent, it's really weird!
"Good afternoon, Goizueta-senior! I take the liberty of visiting and hope I don't disturb your work."

Visiting as an alumni, naturally there is no need to address him with an unfamiliar name.Carter hit the snake and climbed up friendship with the stick:

"Before coming here this time, Professor Thompson also asked me to bring you a letter. He said that you haven't contacted him as an old friend for a long time, and he was very angry!"

"Hahaha, indeed, this is my problem. I have been working, working, and still working for twenty years, and I have indeed ignored the feelings of old friends. Sit down! Today I deliberately smoked for three hours Time, don't talk about work, just talk about good memories!"

Leading Carter into the office, Goizueta went straight to the pantry to make coffee.Judging from the surprised reaction of the secretary outside the door, it was obvious that the other party meant exactly what they said.

This time, he really didn't plan to talk about work.After throwing away his identity as the president of Coke, a senior brother made a cup of coffee for the visiting junior brother.
It's not like being in an office, it's more like having visitors at home!

"What grade are you in this year? Come and taste the coffee from my hometown, Cuba!"

"Thank you, I am a freshman this year."

"Live in the old campus? The green park behind Building B, is it repaired now?"

"It has been repaired for many years, and now there are free concerts in the park every day!"

"There is still this benefit?"

"Hahaha, of course, the students of the Conservatory of Music don't even go to the piano room now, and gather together in the park every day! It's a pity that no matter how beautiful the music is, they only feel noisy after listening to it too much. Now the old campus Not a livable place.”

"Hahaha, don't think so! After you are sorted, you will miss the time in the old campus. Autumn carnival, freshman party, and Halloween party"
