Chapter 261: It's hard to say
Americans are direct enough to say anything on the spot, and it is not uncommon for someone like Qian Herberg to ask for the position of CEO directly.
Only those who have the ability dare to make such a request, and most of the incapable people have no face to do so.
The fun shopping supermarket was taken care of by Helberg for several years, and finally sold for a good price, which was the source of his self-confidence, Su Mu gave this guy a total of more than 7 million US dollars in rewards, and he definitely didn't treat the other party badly, and the relationship was maintained quite well, so he just smiled after he left.
I think Herberg is also reasonable, managing a company does not mean that you need to know specific technologies, but is more responsible for stabilizing the company's order internally, coordinating the cooperation of various departments, promoting products externally, creating an excellent company image, and leaving specific things to specific experts to do, Gates has also privately talked about that he has not written a program himself for several years, because it is completely unnecessary.
Microsoft Corporation is mentioned.
The last time Silicon Valley held the "Anti-Poaching Alliance Conference", the subsequent poaching of each other has been greatly reduced, which can be a pain for those human resource intermediary companies, the performance has risen sharply not long after, and it has returned to its old state, fortunately, more and more people come to Silicon Valley to find jobs, and there are more and more company jobs, not to mention anything else for the time being, because the real estate industry is hot, even construction workers have become insufficient, and the whole Silicon Valley has shown infinite vitality.
During this period, Bill Gates and Paul Allen, the two major shareholders of Microsoft, found Su Mu to talk about it during the meeting, mainly about the OO browser, and wanted to cooperate with Su Mu to directly implant this browser into the indos operating system, and the transaction was actually beneficial to both parties.
It's a pity that Su Mu thinks that Microsoft is opening his mouth in the lion, and in turn, Microsoft also thinks that Su Mu is opening his mouth in the lion.
In fact, Gates later called and negotiated with Su Mu, and Gates himself agreed to buy 20% of the shares of the OO project for $80 million, but was opposed by Microsoft's board members.
He has lost his controlling stake in the company after several cuts in his shares, but he has maintained a good relationship with investors and maintained a high price rise in the company's stock price during his tenure as CEO.
I heard that Gates plans to spend $80 million to acquire a product that has not even been developed, how can those investors who know nothing about Internet technology agree, before they tolerated Gates willfulness, and had tried several investment failures, and Gates also swelled for a while.
The board of directors opposed Gates's acquisition proposal, and he himself couldn't make up his mind, so he couldn't insist on it ruthlessly, so it was over, and Su Mu was a little disappointed to learn that the implant cooperation with Microsoft had failed, but considering that Bee had developed well without support, it did not affect Su Mu's confidence in OO Browser at all.
No one knew the road ahead, and Su Mu was also groping his way forward, only slightly more than the others.
At the beginning of this year, the old radio station heard the information from the future again, and also heard the news of his death from it, and Su Mu knew at that time that it was a very risky move to "steal" the future news from the radio again.
Anyone who understands the butterfly effect understands that a small difference can change the future, and Su Mu clearly understands that even if he hears the message from the radio, it does not mean that it will really happen in the future, because even if he deliberately avoids changing history, the future has changed from the moment he gets the news.
For example, if Su Mu doesn't know anything, then everything in the future is unknown, and no one can guess how the future will develop, not even himself.
If Su Mu continued to listen at that time and succeeded in hearing a lot of news, then he would inevitably change himself because of those news, even if it was just for lunch. Maybe you had lunch at noon one day and were safe and sound, or maybe you didn't eat lunch at noon and went out to buy something during the meal time, and you were hit by a car on the way and passed away, choosing to let people go on different forks in the road.
He himself also did not know if he had made any choices in the past period of time to avoid dying at the beginning of the twenty-first century, only that he had gone in the right direction and that he had achieved amazing success, and that it was enough to know that there was nothing wrong with what he was involved in, and whether he could be as successful as he had heard on the radio...... Hardly.
Guessed that it was because he did business and provoked the enemy, guessed that it was because Lily was a politician and provoked people who shouldn't be messed with, and guessed that it was a traffic accident, or simply died of illness, Su Mu didn't want to know.
He is most afraid of dying due to illness, other aspects are full of uncertainty, and because of genetic defects, it basically means that there is no cure, now I don't know anything, life is full of hope, I hope that because of his choice, history has changed, go to bed early and get up early, pay attention to exercise and diet, and life is not bad.
After Qian Helberg left, Blake went into his office to discuss how to solve the screen problem, and also talked about the next development of the company, which is always busy when he stays in the company......
Lily went to Brown University in Rhode Island, where she was dealing with graduation, and told Su Mu about the interesting things she had encountered recently, as well as the trouble of revising her thesis, and then asked, "What about you, when are you going to graduate from Yale?"
At noon, Su Mu told her while eating lunch: "Old Tom's cheese grilled sausage sandwich is still so delicious, I can graduate at any time, once I leave school, I will really become an adult, I am not in a hurry for the time being, take some time in the second half of this year, calm down and prepare for my graduation thesis." ”
"I heard you eating, it's afternoon Brown, I went back to school only to find out that there wasn't much going on, and I had to go to the orphanage in the evening to help out and earn some social practice points. ”
It hasn't been long since the last time they met, and the two have been in contact on the phone often, about once every two days, and it has been more than half a year since the relationship was confirmed, always.
"Stay safe at night. ”
Su Mu said: "I'm also quite bored here, every day is all kinds of busy little things, after really doing business, I found that it was not as interesting as I imagined, it was a little interesting at the beginning, and then the passion slowly faded, I think I should find something to do, have my own hobbies." ”
Lily asked him with a smile in her voice, "For example?"
“...... Watching movies, playing golf, swimming, etc., and occasionally going out to travel, I haven't used the swimming pool at home once, and I'm definitely going to try it tonight. Of course, I had to learn how to swim first. ”
