Chapter 264: Grievances

After meeting Meg Whitman, John then met with two women, Lu Yingde and Carly Fiorina.

Both of them are immigrants like Meg Whitman, and the former is also an expatriate from India.

However, in John's eyes, it does not matter whether he is an outsider or an indigenous, a man or a woman, the important thing is to have ability.

Lu Yingde's life is like that of a RMB player, which can be said to be open. After graduating with an MBA in financial marketing in India, she came to the United States from India with $500 to find her "American dream".

After coming to the United States, she entered Yale University, obtained a master's degree in public and personal management, and after graduation, she successively joined the Boston Consulting Group, Johnson & Johnson, Motorola Inc., and ABB Group, and then joined PepsiCo, where she increased Pepsi's sales by 80% in 12 years, reaching a market value of $160 billion, and finally successfully led Pepsi to take off the crown on the head of Coca-Cola.

John liked this woman, her courage, and her indomitable spirit, and IBM Home Appliances also needed a strategic management expert with courage, attention to detail, and wisdom.

So John didn't hesitate to choose her when considering the president for the appliance department.

"President Lu Yingde, I have a question I would like to ask you to clarify. After handing over the letter of appointment to Lu Yingde, John looked at the woman from India with a smile on his face. There was something he had special doubts in his heart, and he wanted to take this opportunity to ask Lu Yingde.

"You're welcome, Mr. Morgan, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Lu Yingde was also a little curious about what John would ask himself.

"What I want to ask is that when IBM sent you an invitation, Jack Welch, the president of General Electric, also sent you an invitation, but why did you choose IBM in the end?" John was puzzled by this question, you must know that General Electric is much better than IBM, whether it is in terms of turnover or market value, the size of the company or its influence, General Electric has completely exploded IBM, so John is very puzzled why Lu Yingde did not choose General Electric, which is forced to be higher, but chose IBM that fell into the quagmire.

After hearing John's question, Lu Yingde smiled slightly and organized a language reply. "GE and IBM are both great companies, it's an honor for me to be in any of them, Mr. Jack Welch is a very good manager, he led GE to unprecedented glory, so GE doesn't need me, but entering IBM is different, every day here I face challenges, I like challenges, so life is meaningful, and ....... Lu Yingde paused, looked at John and smiled confidently, and said. "If I had chosen General Electric, how could I be standing in this study room and seeing you today!"

John smiled when he heard Lu Yingde's answer, and he finally understood why this woman rejected GE and chose IBM.

Jack Welch has been in the business of GE for so many years, and the whole company is imprinted with the idea of this legendary administrator, what can she do if she goes? Even if she finally becomes the president of GE, what can she do? It's not that you have to live in the shadow of Jack Welch, become a contrasting existence, do a good job is a matter of course, and if you don't do well, you will be pointed at, so it's better to enter IBM than this.

IBM's situation is not good right now, but it also means more opportunities, and every success she has achieved at IBM belongs to her, not to one person.

And more importantly, she is deeply influenced by Oriental ideas from the East, and has understood a truth since she was a child: learn to become a literary and martial artist, and the goods are with the emperor's family. Although Jack Welch is the world's No. 1 CEO, John is the boss of the world's No. 1 CEO, and since she can work under John, why does she still have to go to work for Jack Welch? She studied hard since she was a child and crossed the ocean to the United States, didn't she just want to one day stand on the shoulders of giants and see the world with her own efforts? Now that she has such an opportunity, why should she let it go?

Seeing that John understood what he meant, Lu Yingde smiled, John gave her a very kind feeling, not as majestic as she imagined, so unattainable, so she boldly looked at John and asked.

"Mr. Morgan, I don't know if I can say something?"

"Of course, please. John made a gesture of please, and listened attentively with his ears pricked up.

Lu Yingde took a deep breath and converted the thoughts in his heart into words. "Mr. Morgan! When I was still studying at Yale University, I had already heard the name of the Morgan Group, and it was my greatest honor and pursuit to be able to enter the world's No. 1 group and become a member of it, in fact, when I received the notice from President John Ecks that I was going to come to Morgan Manor to meet you, I was excited and didn't sleep all night, because it was an honor for me to be able to enter the legendary family and see the legendary person, but ....... Lu Yingde said, with a look of disappointment on his face. "When I walked into the study and got this letter of appointment, I was a little disappointed in my heart, since I knew that I could work in the world's No. 1 group, I secretly made up my mind to contribute what I have learned all my life here, but after getting this letter of appointment, I found that I was not actually accepted by the Morgan Group, nor was it accepted by the Morgan family. ”

"Why do you say that?" John wondered. "Could it be that there is something wrong with the letter of appointment?" John said, reaching out and taking the letter of appointment from Lu Yingde's hand and looking at it, it stands to reason that there should be no problem with the letter of appointment.

"Look at the last signature. Lu Yingde prompted.

John followed her prompt and looked at the signing of the employment letter, which was signed by IBM President John Ex, yes!

Lu Yingde looked at John's puzzled expression and explained. "What I don't understand is why my and Greene Whitman's offer of appointment have President John Eck's signature, while Tim Cook and Mr. Samuel Pamisano's letter of appointment have two stamps?

After Lu Yingde finished speaking, he felt a little aggrieved, since everyone has the same position, why is the signature on the appointment letter of Tim Cook and Samuel Pamisano the emblem of the Morgan family, and the letter of appointment of himself and Meg Whitman is only the signature of John Ex?
