Chapter 525 Unexpected American Visitor
In the quiet cafΓ©, Jing Jian and Wang Guobin talked and laughed easily. Wang Guobin came earlier than the time mentioned in advance, so the two of them looked for it here and chatted about the interesting things after the separation.
ββ¦β¦ My nephew has already regarded you as an idol and said that he would also study Jingda Huaqing in the future. Then my parents, my eldest brother and sister-in-law actually took it seriously, so the kid was crying and crying every day. β
"Hehe, how are you doing, when are you going to start a family?"
"Soon, soon, ......"
While laughing, Jing Jian finally asked the subject: "Guobin, tell me what you think." We brothers have nothing to say. β
Wang Guobin smiled and raised his coffee cup: "I want to go home to help, and I want to marry a daughter-in-law." I already know about the ghost, and neither he nor Kai Ge's path is suitable for me. Don't say those hypocritical words, I will still be in trouble when the family's small hardware is exported in the future. This time, I was going to go with a few relatives at home. β
Hearing that Wang Guobin had made up his mind, Jing Jian no longer persuaded him. It's not good to talk about the customs of Wang Guobin's place, they are all very aggressive, but they like to be their own boss, like their own family group, and don't like to work for people very much.
But although Jing Jian understood, he couldn't help but feel a little sad: "Then I won't persuade you." Heyββ! ghost doesn't know his whereabouts now, and you're ready to go your own way. I will let Ah Fei find you, the Skull Sea model, inject capital into your family, not a controlling shareholder, as a long-term supplier of Skull Sea. Also, Dajiang Daily Chemical's shares will give you 8%. Don't shirk it, you and your relatives have no credit and hard work. First of all, who can take over Dajiang? Do you have any recommended candidates?"
"There is a man named Qiu Zerui, the factory he is in charge of is the best, and he was originally the deputy director of Yangcheng Daily Chemical. He's coming with me this time, would you be interested in meeting him?"
"Yes, if it's convenient, it's now......"
ββ¦β¦β
Everyone has their own favorite path, and Wang Guobin chose to start a family business. Waiting for the sad mood to pass, Jing Jian felt a little happy again, no matter what, people like Wang Guobin, Zhou Mei, and Liu Kai, they are always much better than the experience in their previous lives, right?
Jing Jian also stayed at the White Swan Hotel. After saying goodbye to Wang Guobin, he went back to the hotel to rest, and even asked the waiter to deliver dinner to his room. However, when the waiter arrived in the room to collect the dishes, the waiter suddenly said, "Mr. Jing, there are two American guests looking for you, and this is a note they left." β
"Huh?" Jing Jian opened the note, "Wang An's computer, why did you suddenly come to me?"
With curiosity, Jing Jian made an appointment with the two guests of Wang An's computer to meet in the cafΓ©. If you talk about it now, there are very few people who may know Wang An's computer. However, at that time, Wang An Computer had a prominent reputation. Let's just talk about one thing! Beat IBM out of breath! Especially the founder of the company, Mr. Wang An, at the most glorious moment of that year, he once became the fifth richest person in the United States with $2 billion, and he was also the richest man in China. and inducted into the American Inventors Hall of Fame. It can be said that high-tech has achieved the myth of self-made wealth of the Chinese elite!
However, in the previous life, when Jing Jian made a fortune, Wang An's computer had long since disappeared, and because of bankruptcy, it became a piece of history. The reason why Jing Jianhui was deeply impressed was because this bankruptcy case was a classic case in business science, and Jing Jian and his group of senior executives had studied and analyzed it in depth, and they also deeply took it as a warning.
Let's just briefly introduce how Wang An's computer made a fortune, I won't introduce it much. Let's introduce how to turn from prosperity to decline:
In the late 80s, Mr. Wang An was terminally ill, but he was superstitious about his family heritage and insisted on making his son Wang Lie the new chairman of the company, despite the opposition of other members of the board of directors. However, the previous misjudgment of the rise of the PC, Wang An's stubbornness in his later years, the challenge of new companies such as Apple, and the sad encounter with Wang Lie, a member of the Adou Club, needless to say, lost money again and again, and gradually accumulated a lot of difficulties.
Under such circumstances, Wang An announced the dismissal of Wang Lie in critical illness and invited management expert Edward Miller. Although Miller has been a clever financial figure, he even reduced the company's debt from $575 million to $12 million at one point. However, Miller's fatal flaw is that he does not understand the development of high technology, and new products cannot be developed and marketed in a timely manner, which finally makes Wang An's computer fall into the cliff. In February '92, two years after Mr. Wang's death, the once giant high-tech company filed for bankruptcy protection.
Therefore, Mr. Wang's self-contained conservative attitude in his later years, coupled with cronyistic family management, is the reason for the company's demise.
β¦β¦
However, even so, Jing Jian was a little puzzled, why did they come to him? If the time is calculated, it should be that Wang An's computer has entered the countdown to bankruptcy, and he has no technology and no investment, so there is no reason to find himself?
It needs to be noted here that many people should know that Microsoft and IBM have been strategic alliances in history, and now Jingjian is not only the majority shareholder of Microsoft, but also has formed a strategic alliance with Microsoft. It can be seen that Wang An Computer has become the enemy of the Jingjian Alliance, even if it is not a stone, at least I hope that he will go out of business as soon as possible?
Some people may not understand why they can't bet on both ends? The answer is...... OK. If Jing Jian is willing to be a venture capitalist and strategic investor like Sequoia Investments or SoftBank, you can invest in both sides. Anyway, what I got was Class B equity, and I didn't pursue the right to manage and operate at all, so I pursued a sharp rise in stock prices.
However, Jing Jian is no longer short of money, what he pursues is actually power and the right to speak. Therefore, it is only possible to join one side and destroy all the hostile parties.
"Hello, Mr. Bramble. This is Mr. Wang Lie, and I'm John Chambers."
"It's an honor to meet you. Mr. Wang, Mr. Chambers!"
Jing Jian shook hands warmly while secretly looking at the deputy named "Chambers". In fact, his heart has been churning "Jing Zhi Lie", this John Chambers is also a big bull, will be at the helm of Cisco in the future, and has simply become the global hegemon of network solution providers, until a certain leather bag company that is still selling telephone exchanges in South Bay launched a challenge, and Cisco was pulled off the altar.
Jing Jian secretly laughed in his heart: "This is simply a rhythm that meets a powerful force without paying attention? I didn't expect that the current Chambers is still working at Wang An Computer?"
Jing Jian's heart was actually very happy. Regardless of today's conversation, Chambers has given himself an inspiration that it is better to invest in Cisco as soon as possible, and that investment will increase by a thousandfold over the next decade. It's just giving money!
