291 Persuade
The common denominator between geniuses and madmen is that cognitive inhibition is lifted, the difference is that one will find new inspiration in the small details of life, and the other will only fall into fantasy and cannot distinguish between truth and falsehood, and will be crazy forever.
John wasn't crazy, he was sober, he just walked a path that no one else had taken. There was more than one way to Rome, so why did he have to follow the path of others, why didn't he go out of it himself?
"In your eyes, IBM is in crisis, but in my eyes, IBM is rising. ”
"Rise?"
Dean Morgan didn't understand John's thoughts. IBM has been losing money for two years in a row, with losses amounting to tens of billions of dollars, and now it has reached the point where it has to rely on layoffs and factory sales to stop the bleeding.
"Yes, rise. ”
John repeats it with great certainty.
"You have to have faith in what you're doing first so that you can succeed. "Successful people are paranoid because they have to be confident in what they do.
When Jobs was building a mobile phone, all the technicians thought it was impossible, but he firmly believed that the iPhone would be built, and he was very confident that he went to the operator to sign the contract, and finally the iPhone became a kidney machine, and he became Joe's helper.
And in John's heart, he has something to insist on, even if the whole world tells him that it is wrong, he will stick to it.
"I believe IBM will change the world, and I believe it will become the most profitable company in the world.
So I'm going to buy back the shares, and I'm going to delist it at the lowest price and with the lowest amount of money, make it the largest private company in the world, and let every penny it makes go into the Morgan account. ”
John believes that with his golden finger and IBM's technology and many big bulls, IBM will definitely make a lot of money in the future.
Since he was sure that IBM would make money in the future, why didn't he take it back when everyone was not optimistic and enjoy the fruits alone?
"You might think I'm crazy. John held out a hand to Dean Morgan and said confidently. "In five years, you'll feel like what I'm saying today isn't crazy, and in ten years you'll see that everything I'm saying today will come true. Because I believe in myself and try to move in this direction until the day I arrive. ”
Confidence is sometimes contagious like a virus, Dean Morgan was infected, and when he saw the confidence in John's eyes, the blood under his skin boiled, and although reason told him that it was a crazy thing, he couldn't help but want to follow the madness once.
"Brother...... What can I do?"
When Dean Morgan said this, he finally understood why his great-grandfather had arranged for him to come to IBM, because he lacked the confidence and courage that John had. Now he has to go crazy again, even if he fails in the end, it doesn't matter, at least he was crazy in this era, and he didn't stand on the sidelines and be a bystander.
"If you really want to do something, then quit as a director, IBM has a vice president missing, and that's the guy who does the job. John smiled slightly, and it seemed that the Great Elder's precious great-grandson was about to be spoiled by himself.
"I ...... I...... Can it work?" Dean Morgan feared he wouldn't be able to do well.
"It's not that I can do it, but I can do it, you have to believe in yourself. You know, standing aside to learn, always a beginner, only by doing it yourself, you can get your own experience, don't be afraid to make mistakes, it's a big deal to start again, I believe you will become the best version of yourself. ”
"Well, I'm going to call right now. ”
John had a knack for demagoguery, and Dean Morgan was taken off his original track in this way, and only God knows whether it is good or bad.
Dean Morgan was very efficient, and when he returned to his hotel room, he called his great-grandfather, Hunter Sturgis Morgan, and strongly asked to resign as a director and take up the position of vice president.
And Hunter Sturgis Morgan was reluctant to ask Dean Morgan to go to the front line to work, he thought that Dean Morgan did not have this ability, but when he heard that it was John's suggestion, he finally reluctantly agreed.
In fact, he hung up the phone with a happy heart, because he heard a sense of confidence in Dean Morgan's tone, which was one of the reasons he asked Dean Morgan to go to IBM. People can be influenced by the environment and the people around them, and he hopes that Dean Morgan can learn from John's self-confidence and courage, of course, if he can not be affected by John's Madonna temper, it will be perfect. He didn't want his great-grandson to be a universal mother.
After Dean Morgan left, John called John Eks into the office, first told him to help Dean Morgan more in the future, and then asked him to arrange for the media to announce the layoffs as soon as possible.
After arranging the work, John took Dani and Ariana back to the hotel, and it turns out that people with broken mouths are usually foodies, and Ariana punished John by ordering five meat dishes in the restaurant for leaving her to run to work in the reception room.
"Aren't you afraid of being fat?"
John looked at the high-calorie food on Ariana's plate and was a little worried, people in Europe and the United States are more likely to gain weight, and carnivores like Ariana are almost inevitable to become obese girls in the end.
"Hmph, I'm not fat. Ariana glanced at John proudly, one of the greatest happiness of foodies is to be able to eat all over the world, and the other is to eat nothing without getting fat.
"That's because your stomach and intestines don't absorb well and you should see a doctor. John doesn't believe that there is a constitution that doesn't gain weight, and those who don't gain weight usually do so because of poor gastrointestinal absorption.
"Why do you want to see a doctor, it's not good if it is not absorbed well, it is better than going for liposuction if you are fat!" Ariana gave John a blank look, giving John a reason that John couldn't refute.
Poor gastrointestinal absorption is really not a big problem, at most it is just a waste of food, this kind of thing is not only in the famine area people will care, in the area of abundant food who will care whether the food they eat in the stomach is wasted. What they are more concerned about is whether they are fat again this month, and whether they should go to the gym to lose two pounds of meat.
In the end, Ariana swept all the food on her plate under John's gaze, John couldn't figure out how her stomach could hold so many things, but John didn't want to delve into it, the world of foodies was hard to understand, including their stomachs.
