Chapter 631 Ants move to eat fat
“I’m sorry, sir, what is your position at Hong Kong Island Fengyu Company?”
Li Ye is carefully observing John Chamber. Where is Si! But he was suddenly interrupted by Wang Lie.
He looked at Wang Lie and found that although the face of the head of Wang An Company remained calm, the impatience in his eyes was already very strong.
Li Ye said calmly: "Hello Mr. Wang, I am an intern at Hong Kong Island Style, but I know the situation in the mainland very well, so I think joint research and development and joint production are the best solution for both of us. A good opportunity.”
Wang Lie stared at Li Ye for two seconds and suddenly laughed.
He laughed for several seconds, then shook his head and said: "This is the best joke I have heard this year. Your idea is very funny."
The whole place was silent.
Even John Chambers, who didn't like Li Ye very much, was full of surprise, and then lowered his head to hide his expression.
No matter how much you don’t believe in Hong Kong rumors, they came here for the final negotiation according to the previously negotiated intentions,
As soon as I arrived today, you called me over for negotiation. You were already very rude, but now you say something "ridiculous". Can you really take on the responsibility of being the helmsman of Wang An Company?
In fact, Wang An's decision to let his son Wang Lie take over as president of the company met with strong opposition within the company.
Because in Dengtao, unlike the Confucian cultural circle, which emphasizes the inheritance of father and son, they prefer to hire excellent managers to manage the family industry.
But Wang An is not. In his subconscious mind, the company belongs to my family. He needs to have absolute control over the company, so much so that he chooses to appoint his own family members in many important positions.
Even great people like John Chambers are just mediocre and small roles like regional managers.
Although Chambers was later promoted to the position of president of the Lighthouse Region, he had to complete the task of laying off 4,000 people first. Didn't this make him take the blame?
So Wang An insisted on going his own way and forcibly put his son at the helm of the company. This was the biggest mistake in his life and the most fatal mistake.
For example, now, Li Ye obviously extended an olive branch to him, but he thought it was "ridiculous".
Whether it is a lack of ability or a lack of luck, in short, he missed the last chance to save Wang An Company.
Pei Wencong didn't even look at Li Ye's face, so he said sternly: "Mr. Wang Lie, is this your attitude? Are you sure this is your company's attitude towards us?"< br>
Wang Lie was shocked, but he still insisted: "Mr. Pei, I am not completely denying the cooperation intention we reached in the early stage,
but I think we should start with agency sales first, gradually deepen our understanding, and gradually Establish trust, and then gradually discuss the possibility of joint research and development and joint production within three to five years."
"There is no need for that. It is not certain whether Wang An Company will still be there in five years. ! ”
Li Ye stood up without waiting for Wang Lie to finish speaking, and walked out of the conference room.
If you are rude to me, then I will be even more rude.
Another intern, Wen Leyu, played her "translation" role very competently and translated Li Ye's words into English.
It's just that Wen Leyu was very angry, so he translated "It doesn't matter whether Wang An Company will still be there in five years" into "It doesn't matter whether Wang An Company will go bankrupt in five years."
Wang Lie and John Chambers were both shocked by the young couple’s actions,
but they didn’t get angry yet! I saw Pei Wencong, Luo Runbo and others starting to pack their things without saying a word, and followed Li Ye and Wen Leyu to leave without even saying a courtesy greeting.
What is this for? Is this really the rhythm of a feud?
By this time, no matter how slow their reaction was, Wang Lie and John Chambers realized that something was wrong with the "intern".
"Chambers, what's going on? You've been in Asia for so long, how can these people be so rude?"
John Chambers frowned tightly It was so tight that it didn't come apart for a long time, but because of the boss's face, he finally explained uncertainly:
"Although the flower growers have started It is open, but still closed compared to other areas. I have only met one person who is said to be the second generation from the mainland, and now I feel that that person is not more like the second generation than the two young people just now."
" ." Wang Lie's tutoring was based on standard Confucian culture, and he naturally knew the principle of "one more friend opens up a new path, one more enemy breaks down a bridge",
So he said to John Chambers: "Repair relations with them as soon as possible, and make some concessions in terms of interests if necessary."
Chambers was almost angry. .
【Te meow, what do you want me to fix? You have offended someone and want me to repair the relationship? 】
. . . . . . .
According to Beacon's philosophy, there is no hatred that cannot be resolved with benefits, but this is not the case with Li Ye at all.
Li Ye and others left Wang An Company and on the way back to the hotel by car, Pei Wencong said ashamedly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, it was my dereliction of duty this time. I was not prepared for a detailed investigation. I don't know." Wang Lie's attitude towards us is completely different from Mr. Wang An."
Li Ye breathed out, also a little disappointed.
Mr. Wang An is a legendary figure, and was later interviewed by the top leaders of the mainland, so Li Ye came here with great hope to seek cooperation.
Li Ye’s original intention was to establish a computer company on Hong Kong Island to avoid Western technological restrictions as much as possible. After all, computers in the 1980s were definitely a high-end industry, and it was impossible for Western companies to inject the most advanced technology into the mainland. among enterprises.
But Hong Kong Island is different. Especially before 1997, Hong Kong Island did not have such big restrictions on electronics. For example, the switching equipment that Huawei first distributed was produced by companies on Hong Kong Island.
When the time comes, Pengcheng Fengyu will only be separated from Hong Kong Island by a river. Li Ye organizes people to take turns to go there to exchange and learn. With the research efforts of Ni Dashen and his gang, what kind of bezoar dog treasure can't be found?
But now, people look down on me, do I still have to kneel down and lick them?
Li Ye didn’t know what kind of person Mr. Wang An, who founded Wang An Company, was, but his son was really a very competent gravedigger, digging holes and burying them himself.
“Don’t waste time on Wang An Company,” Li Ye said coldly: “Without Butcher Zhang, will we still eat pigs with hair on them? Contact other manufacturers!”
As for the IT industry manufacturers around Boston, there are not even one thousand but eight hundred, but not many survived in the end, and there are only a few famous ones.
"Okay Mr. Li, we have also had contact with several other computer companies. What do you think of Microsoft?"
"Microsoft?"
Li Yekan He looked at Pei Wencong and said, "Why do you ask this question?" ?”
Pei Wencong replied: “Mr. Li, although Microsoft is a small company, they have a good relationship with IBM, and they will be listed in one and a half months, if we get part of the equity”< br>
"You have to be careful when handling Microsoft's equity."
Li Ye immediately corrected: "We can buy Microsoft's shares, but we must buy them diversified to avoid being targeted by the CIA in the future."
Although Microsoft is still a small company now, with net assets of only two million US dollars, it has just reached the listing threshold of Nasdaq, and its stock price was only 15 cents when it was listed.
But it will be a behemoth in the future, and any major shareholder will be a clear target.
Let alone the 5% shareholding required to reveal one’s identity, even if it is 1%, I don’t know how many people will face the covetousness.
Li Ye doesn't think that a great company like Microsoft can easily allow him to participate in shares.
Because financial investment in the United States is much more developed than in Asia, since Silicon Valley and Boston can develop, Li Ye is indispensable. Such speculators waving money,
if they really block their way to make money, it will be the hatred of their murderous parents.
But the net assets are only two million, and the return rate is 4,500 times. This kind of business will cost you even a knife!
So we must be careful and cautious, diversify our investments from multiple channels such as Europe, Asia, and the United States, and first use ant moving techniques to eat this piece of fat.
