Chapter 710: This is a shrewd man
Shaking his head and laughing, he got up and went to the bathroom to wash up, "Amilia, inform Holly to take someone to Tianyi, the candidates for the entertainment company will interview in the afternoon, and the first interview will be with Tianyi, in addition, Motorola has become a thing of the past, and a document was issued to inform each branch, Motorola officially changed its name to Umbrella Tianyi USA Branch" Guo Yongren said directly, Emilia went to be busy.
After breakfast, Guo Yongren took Leo to Tianyi Company, and now, the big logo of Motorola has been disassembled, and the logo belonging to Tianyi is already in production, and soon, all kinds of logos will be replaced with the logo of Tianyi.
At the very least, the beginning of the internal document has already begun to change, and the Chicago government has accepted the name change, and it will be approved soon, and everything will fall into place by then.
In the chairman's office on the top floor, Guo Yongren, Leo, and Dr. Crest, all three of them were there, "Grace, please come to Bill" Guo Yongren said directly, Grace went out, and the interview officially began.
Yesterday, after Holly introduced Bill's situation, Guo Yongren paid attention to this person, and the three of them drank tea and waited, Bill's information, Leo and Dr. Crest, both of whom had seen it, knew that this was a master, and was full of hope.
Soon, Grace came in with a tall white man, "Chairman, this is Mr. Bill" Grace made an introduction, Guo Yongren stood up and shook Bill's hand, and everyone sat down.
"Bill, I have a document here, you can take a look, there are two answers below, you can choose one" Guo Yongren finished speaking and glanced at Dr. Crest, Dr. Crest handed Bill a document, Bill took it and began to look at it.
This information is an overview of Tianyi USA, and the following choices are about the choice of the price of wireless phones, one is Cred's point of view, dumping at a low price, quickly occupying the market, and the other is Guo Yongren's point of view, maintaining high profits.
Bill put down the document after reading it, "Chairman, I want to ask a few questions" Bill asked, and Guo Yongren made a gesture of please.
"Do we have any competitors to our products at the moment?" asked Bill
"No, the patents for wireless phones produced all over the world can be said to be in our hands, including those in Europe, and if we want, a complaint can make them disappear from the market," Guo Yongren said directly.
Bill smiled, "I can't figure out why you'd set up two answers, based on what you're saying, it's clear that we have to keep our profits high," Bill said in affirmation.
"What's your reason?" asked Guo Yongren
"It's very simple, since we have obtained so many patents, do these patents not cost money, don't those research expenses cost money, etc., we have invested so much, it must be recovered, what do we do without profits, what do we use to retain R&D personnel without profits, research funds are very expensive," Bill affirmed.
Guo Yongren nodded, "Mr. Bill, I think you should have an understanding of the umbrella Tianyi, that is, Motorola, what made you decide to come to this company" Guo Yongren asked.
"It's very simple, one, the treatment is very good, two, the company's development prospects are very good, wireless communication to replace wired communication is an inevitable trend, three, I like promising enterprises" Bill said three points very casually.
Guo Yongren nodded after listening, and looked at Leo and Dr. Crest, meaning that I finished asking, it's your turn, the two began to take turns and began to ask Bill questions, and Bill answered fluently and humorously.
Although I am relatively satisfied, I still have to go through the process, and the rest of the one, Guo Yongren also has to meet, and the other one is named Watson, who is also a senior talent in the internal review of Korn Ferry.
Watson, 48 years old, deputy general manager of the French company Hill Communications, came to the United States through Korn Ferry and is very optimistic about the future of Tianyi.
Now the communication industry in Europe is fighting brutally, Watson as the deputy general manager found a very serious problem, patent authorization, it can be said that the entire European production of wireless communication phones are infringing, this discovery made Watson jump.
The power of patent law Watson is very clear, through a variety of relationships, Watson figured out the matter, all the patents are in the hands of the umbrella Tianyi company, which makes Watson confused.
began to think about this question, and after thinking about it, Watson broke out in a cold sweat, and figured out why the umbrella Tianyi did not enter the European market, and began to hold a meeting, proposing that Tianyi must be authorized.
The board of directors also got to the point that Watson said, no fools, they all know that the patent law is powerful, and it is good that the umbrella Tianyi has not sued, and once it is sued, the company will face a huge amount of patent infringement compensation, which is very disadvantageous.
Directly sent someone to negotiate with Tianyi about the patent licensing, but Tianyi did not license it externally for the time being, this was decided by the board of directors, and there was no way, so he came back to France.
The relationship between the general manager and Watson is very bad, thinking that Watson is a bit unfounded, so many companies, can his umbrella be all high, not to mention the existence of anti-monopoly law, with the efforts of the general manager, this matter has been stranded, Watson has no way at all.
The person in charge of the French branch of Korn Ferry has a good relationship with Watson, and when the two drank again, they talked about the recruitment of the general manager of Motorola under the umbrella, and Watson felt that this was his own opportunity, because Watson did not believe that the umbrella with a patent in hand would turn a blind eye to the situation in Europe, and there must be some layout.
Watson clearly felt that this was his opportunity, and through the French branch of Korn Ferry, he contacted the US headquarters, and then came to Motorola, or to the umbrella Tianyi company.
After Watson told these things, Guo Yongren and Dr. Crest looked at each other and smiled, this is a shrewd person, and he is a very discerning person, but Watson is not suitable to be the general manager of the company, and there is no problem as the deputy general manager.
Guo Yongren and the three of them discussed in the room, and asked Grace to call both Bill and Watson, "Gentlemen, we have a feeling, Mr. Bill's position is general manager, Mr. Watson's position is deputy general manager, I don't know what your opinion is, of course, if you agree, there will be a two-month probationary period, after two months, we will sign a formal contract, what do you think" Guo Yongren announced the decision.
"Mr. Guo, I would like to ask how much authority the general manager has and how much money the headquarters will support," Bill looked at Guo Yongren and asked
"It's very simple, what you do in the company, the headquarters doesn't matter, how much money you need depends on yourself, as long as you can have a suitable reason to convince me, funding is not a problem, our umbrella group, everything is bad, just not bad money" Guo Yongren looked at Bill and said domineeringly.
Bill smiled, this chairman is interesting, his former company, need the board of directors to allocate some money, he needs to spend a few days talking, this is good, only the reason is appropriate, direct appropriation, domineering enough.
"I don't have an opinion" Bill said with a smile, and Watson also has no opinion, his purpose is to enter the Umbrella Sky Wing, and now he has achieved his goal.
"Very good, this Dr. Crest is the old man of Tianyi Company, and he is also the deputy general manager, if you don't know anything, you can ask Dr. Crest, after all, the doctor is the first general manager of our Tianyi Company" Guo Yongren said with a smile.
Dr. Crest smiled bitterly, "Don't listen to the boss, it's true that I'm the first general manager, but I'm not a qualified manager, so I took the initiative to hand over the manager, and technology is my strength," Dr. Crest said with a smile.
Bill and Watson both smiled, and it could be seen that the relationship between the headquarters management was very harmonious, "This is Leo's lawyer, the Americas, all the legal documents of the umbrella must be reviewed by the legal department in charge of Leo's lawyer before they can be signed, and the power is very great," Guo Yongren introduced.
Leo smiled and shook hands with the two, which was considered to be an acquaintance, "When can you join the company, because there are very important plans to be carried out here in the US branch now, so you need to join the company soon" Guo Yongren said directly.
"I need a week to take care of things at home," Watson said earnestly.
"I'll need four days," Bill followed, and he had a few things to take care of.
"Okay, you can get an internal information from Dr. Crest in a while, you can take a look at it for a while, but you can't spread it, and you will officially join the company in a week" Guo Yongren said directly, the two nodded and agreed.
Guo Yongren arranged for Grace to send the two away, and at the same time let Holly in, "Holly, Bill and Watson and I have stayed, they are very good" Guo Yongren said directly.
"Of course, they're all top talents," Holly said with a smile, and Guo Yongren smiled too.
"It's noon, let's go to dinner together, and there are three more people to meet in the afternoon" Guo Yongren said directly, Leo and they all nodded and left the office together.
The place to eat was found by Dr. Crest, a very good restaurant, worthy of being a local snake, knowing where to eat delicious, several people had a big meal, and agreed to meet Guo Yongren's chairman's office at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Guo Yongren went directly to the office to rest, feeling that this place was stronger than the old hotel, Guo Yongren went directly to the lounge to rest for a while, and finally, Emilia woke Guo Yongren up, and the time was up.
Guo Yongren got up and washed up, Emilia had already made tea, and soon, Leo and Dr. Crest came over, and the three of them began to drink tea slowly, and it didn't take long for Emilia to come over to report, and Holly brought someone over.
