Chapter 687: Eggs, Americans Are Personalities
"Dr. Krest, the umbrella phone costs $9,999, how to publicize it, you know what to do" Guo Yongren turned his head to look at Dr. Krest.
"Of course, having our umbrella phone is a status symbol," Dr. Crest said immediately, saying it so sharply that I don't know how many times I said it, and I had to say it more than once every lecture.
"Of course, just like that," Guo Yongren said directly, and then looked at Cred, who struggled on his face, and it took a long time to calm down.
"Have you figured it out," Guo Yongren said, looking at Cred.
"Boss, what you said is right, but in the end, the price will return to rationality, we are just going first, in addition, the low price can also block some competitors from entering, which is good for us" Credder looked at Guo Yongren and said seriously.
"No, it's not good for us at all," Guo Yongren said directly, vetoing Cred's proposal.
Credder took a deep breath, "Boss, in that case, I'm resigning" Credder's words were very crisp, Guo Yongren was stunned, and looked at Cred's eyes.
The atmosphere immediately became tense, Guo Yongren thought seriously in his mind, Credt is really not suitable to be in charge of Motorola, this concept is too backward, "Okay, I approve your resignation, you and Dr. Crest go back to handle the handover" Guo Yongren said directly.
Guo Yongren turned his head to look at Dr. Crest, "Dr. Crest, you are in charge of Motorola for the time being, I will send you a general manager as soon as possible" Guo Yongren said directly, Dr. Crest nodded, he also did not approve of Cred, thinking that Cred was outdated.
Sent the two away, Guo Yongren was in a very bad mood, heckling, Americans are really personalities, and if they don't fit their own ideas, they will resign directly, in their current words, they will resign if they don't agree, they are really sick, and they are all habitual.
Walked to the side and picked up the phone and started to call, directly to Holly of Korn Ferry, and soon, the phone was connected, "Hello, I'm Holly" Holly's voice came, and Guo Yongren's mood was a little better.
"Holly, I'm Guo Yongren, I need to handle an urgent business," Guo Yongren said directly
"You say," Holly said directly, too.
"I need a professional manager, the position is the general manager of Motorola, who can accept new things, have a unique view of the communications market and a long-term vision," Guo Yongren said of his requirements.
"Okay, I'll expedite it for you," Holly said directly
"Okay, after talking about the trivial matter, let's talk about business, have you missed me lately" Guo Yongren said with a smile, and Holly's face on the other side was slightly red.
"I miss you big head, I'm working" Holly said directly, now Holly is very relaxed, her uncle is missing, and the two children of the uncle's family began to fight for their uncle's inheritance, and there was a lot of trouble, and her father's condition began to slowly improve, and everything was developing smoothly.
"Holly, I'm leaving the United States, aren't you going to meet me," Guo continued, a strange smile on his face.
"Look at the time, I'm going to be busy, I won't tell you" Holly wanted to interrupt the conversation, and if she continued, she was worried that she couldn't control it, knowing that it was impossible for the two of them, and it wasn't a way to go on like this, but sometimes she really couldn't control herself.
"Okay, what I just told you should be fast, it's best to have news within a week" Guo Yongren said directly, Holly felt the urgency of the matter and agreed.
The phone hung up, Guo Yongren smiled bitterly, the products are about to be listed, the general manager actually resigned, what is this called, picking at such a critical time, it is simply hateful, and the mood is very unhappy.
At lunch, Grace reported another thing to Guo Yongren, "Boss, Carina and Bates are in San Francisco today, contact me, come to see you early tomorrow morning, I arranged a hotel for them, and send a car to pick them up early tomorrow morning" Grace reported.
Guo Yongren nodded, Carina and Bates's plan should also be introduced, let's see tomorrow, see how the two of them planned, I hope they won't let themselves down.
The next morning, Carina and Bates came to the manor with their plans, and Guo Yongren met them on the platform, and the three of them chatted about the plans over tea.
"Carina, your plan and Bates are to buy a TV station first, so do you have a goal?" asked Guo Yongren
"Yes, Fox Broadcasting, the two of us discussed this matter and agreed that we could buy this company," Bates said directly, and Guo Yongren was stunned.
"Give me a reason," Guo Yongren said directly, curious why the two of them would unanimously choose this company.
"Boss, in '81, the oil tycoon Davis bought Fox Broadcasting, but until this year, it has been in the red, not only did not see a penny of profit, but it needs to be subsidized a lot every year, and now Davis should have run out of patience, this is a good time for us," Carina explained.
"It's no secret that Davis wants to sell the company now, it's just that no one offers the right price, and according to what I've got, the company is panicking right now, and they're not in the mood to work, and last month's salary was delayed until the deadline, so it can be seen that Davis doesn't want to fill the hole," Carina told what he knew.
"I believe that if we propose to acquire it now, there will be a suitable price," Bates added, and Guo Yongren nodded.
"Their company's finances are audited by that accounting firm," Guo Yongren asked, and it would be better to leave the acquisition to a professional living institution, which could save a lot of trouble.
The Big Four accounting firms made a deep impression on Guo Yongren, and the acquisition activities were carried out very sharply, "It should be PricewaterhouseCoopers, I'm not sure, but there are rumors" Bates said, Guo Yongren was stunned, it wouldn't be such a coincidence.
Guo Yongren thought for a while and turned his head, "Amilia, contact Leo, I want to talk to him on the phone" Guo Yongren said directly, Emilia immediately stood up and went to call.
"Let me ask, if it is really PwC that is in charge, then the matter is simple, the acquisition is handed over to them, and we can save a lot of trouble," Guo Yongren said with a smile, and Carina and Bates also laughed, and they also knew very well about the power of the Big Four accounting firms.
"Of course, these accounting firms are pretty sharp about acquisitions," Carina said with a laugh, and Bates knows a lot about that.
"Boss" Emilia shouted, signaling that the phone was connected, and Guo Yongren nodded and stood up
came to Emilia's side and took the phone, "Leo, I'm Guo Yongren" Guo Yongren said directly.
"What's the boss," Leo asked
"Ask your little girlfriend if Fox Broadcasting is a partner with their PricewaterhouseCoopers," Guo Yongren said with a smile, and Leo smiled too.
"Obey my boss, I'll give you back in a moment," Leo said with a smile, as long as his little woman heard that there was a purchase order, she must be quite positive.
The phone hung up, Guo Yongren returned to the platform, and the three of them continued to drink tea, "What do you think about the newspaper?" asked Guo Yongren.
"Boss, we have considered the issue of newspapers, after the acquisition of the TV network, we need an integration time, when the TV network is stable, we will have the option to acquire two to three medium-sized newspapers, after the merger can completely cover the whole United States, so that we have completed the layout of the United States" Carina said directly, the idea is quite clear.
Guo Yongren nodded, yes, like Robert in Europe, he is not in a hurry to expand, which makes Guo Yongren very satisfied, these two are good, and they cooperate very well.
"My news company already has a TV station and newspaper in Southeast Asia, Europe has determined the person in charge, and now it has begun to acquire, the United States will look at you, in the future, the person in charge of Southeast Asia, Europe, the Americas, and the three regions will conduct a comprehensive assessment, this assessment is not an umbrella assessment, but handed over to an outside company, which one, now it is confidential, dozens of assessments will be conducted on you, and the person with a high score will be appointed as the president of the umbrella news group," Guo Yongren said slowly.
After listening to what Guo Yongren said, Karina's eyes lit up, and she was very satisfied with the assessment proposed by Guo Yongren, because this kind of assessment is more fair, and everything depends on your results.
"I'll try to be president," Carina said directly, showing her confidence.
"This, look at your ratings, everything is in your own hands" Guo Yongren said with a smile, there is competition to make these people desperately create profits.
"Boss, Leo's call" Amilia's voice came, Guo Yongren stood up with a smile, there must be news.
Walking over and taking the phone, "Leo, what's the result" Guo Yongren asked
"Boss, Fox Broadcasting is in charge of PwC's finances, and they'd love to have the deal," Leo affirmed.
"Okay, I'll give you a small benefit, if your little girlfriends are satisfied with you tonight, you can decide to give them the list," Guo Yongren said with a smile.
"Oh, boss, you're so bad, but I'm quite happy with your perk," Leo said with a smile, blessed himself tonight.
"Don't delay the business, let them take action tomorrow and take it quickly," Guo Yongren said directly
"No problem," Leo said, and Guo Yongren chatted with Leo a few more words and hung up the phone.
Returning to the platform and sitting down, "Carina, Bates, you go to New York to find our umbrella lawyer Leo, sign an employment contract with him, he will arrange for PricewaterhouseCoopers to buy Fox Broadcasting, you are ready to integrate" Guo Yongren said directly.
