4月初,电影《北京遇上西雅图》正在国内热映,而我恰好正在西雅图。西雅图是比尔·盖茨和微软公司的故乡,是波音飞机的故乡,也是星巴克的故乡——3月1日,这家著名的咖啡连锁在山西开了第一家店,门前的太原市民排起了几十米的长队,火爆程度让人惊叹。西雅图之行中,我和几个朋友特地去“拜访”了星巴克创始店——门店不大,甚至还没有我们的一个会议室大,门口有几个街头艺人在唱歌。这就是著名的星巴克的起点。而起点的时间也不遥远,1987年,距离现在不过26年,那个时候,星巴克帝国的创始人霍华德·舒尔茨还是一个27岁的小伙子,充满了事业心,一心想发展咖啡业。
In early April, the film “Beijing meets Seattle” was hot in China, and I happen to be in Seattle. Seattle is the hometown of Bill Gates and Microsoft. It is the hometown of Boeing airplanes. It is also the hometown of Starbucks. On March 1, this famous coffee chain opened its first store in Shanxi and the Taiyuan citizenship in front of the door. The tens of meters of long lines, the degree of popularity is amazing. During my visit to Seattle, I and a few friends specially went to visit Starbucks’ founding store. The shop was not big. We didn’t even have one of our conference rooms. There were several buskers singing at the entrance. This is the starting point of the famous Starbucks. The starting time is not far away. In 1987, it was only 26 years from now. At that time, Howard Schultz, the founder of the Starbucks Empire, was a 27-year-old boy who was full of dedication and he wanted to develop the coffee industry.
