Chapter 1656: Killed, Killed, Disabled, and Subdued
Li Mu is not once or twice torn up with other companies, if a friend comes forward to mediate, he can give up his demands, then Muye Technology will not have such a height as today.
Therefore, when Spielberg was entrusted to call Li Mu to ask for personal favors, Li Mu did not give Spielberg any room for mediation at all.
As a businessman with a strong sense of business, Spielberg understands the importance behind this incident to Roland Maas and the entire Mars company, and he knows that if he can leverage Li Mu through favors, it will be of great value to Roland Maas and Mars, and Roland Maas will definitely thank himself with practical actions in the future, so he tried to intercede for Roland Maas.
The Jews are very good at business, and in Spielberg's eyes, he can be a middleman in this matter, he can use his favors to "buy" forgiveness from Li Mu upstream, and then sell the forgiveness to Roland Maas downstream in exchange for actual benefits.
In his opinion, this is a business without profits, and if it is successful, it will make a lot of money, and there will be no loss if it loses.
Therefore, after Li Mu refused, Spielberg still pleaded: "Mr. Li, Roland is also my old friend, I know his personality, sometimes he is indeed easy to be impulsive, but he is not a bad person in essence, and this time the contradiction between him and your side is also caused by his CEO making a wrong decision, he himself did not want this, so I hope you can raise your hand......"
Li Mu said in a serious tone: "Stephen, we are good friends and partners, so when I refuse your appeal, you must distinguish the stakes." ”
Saying that, Li Mu paused for a moment, and then said: "I refuse your request, it's not that I don't give you face, it's not that I can't get along with you, it's just that this matter is not something that can be solved by anyone who comes forward to intercede, no matter how powerful the magnet is, it can't absorb plastic, because this is the existence of two dimensions, can you understand?"
Spielberg immediately knew the meaning of Li Mu's words, he knew that Li Mu had rejected it very thoroughly, if he and his favor were compared to a magnet, then the contradiction between Roland Maas and him was plastic, and he could use a magnet to pick up iron-containing objects, but it was useless to plastic.
Measured by the extremely high return on investment ratio of this matter, Spielberg wanted to give it another try, but the reason in his mind warned himself that now that he had touched Li Mu's high-voltage line, it was too late to withdraw and retreat immediately, otherwise, not to mention not to mention not helping Roland Maas, his relationship with him might be greatly affected.
So, Spielberg immediately said: "Mr. Li, I understand what you mean, don't worry, I won't say this matter a second time in the future." ”
Li Mu hummed with satisfaction and said: "Since you have a relationship with that Roland Maas, tell him for me that no one can touch my porcelain, and since he touches it, he will have to pay enough price, otherwise so many companies around the world are lining up to touch my porcelain, how can I make an example!"
Li Mu said lightly, but the undoubted and firm determination in the tone still made Spielberg feel a huge pressure, he was scared out of a cold sweat by Li Mu's words, and then he understood that Li Mu had taken Roland Maas as an example to kill, and wanted to fight a crushing war in front of entrepreneurs all over the world, on the one hand, to punish Roland Maas, on the other hand, to make others afraid, and even surrender.
The rapid rise of Makino Technology is like a huge country that has just been established and is developing rapidly, and its surroundings are almost all those old powers.
In order to establish its own strong image, Makino Technology must fully respond to all provocations, once a country wants to grin with it, it must hold it down, beat, scream, and beg for mercy.
Only in this way can we make other old powers jealous and afraid, and can we win enough respect and a period of peaceful development for ourselves.
Li Mu's strategy formulation is to a large extent to learn from the great strategy of the founding leader, a rising country, must go all out in the first foreign war, so that the world's jackals, tigers and leopards are fearful.
China's decades-long peaceful development is inseparable from the great and arduous battle in the northern part of the peninsula.
Li Mu, as a Chinese son and daughter of the roots, naturally knows the importance of this "first time", the world wants to touch its own enterprises, if you don't kill the first one who dares to do it, cripple and subdue, how will you live in the future?
……
The moment Roland Maas received Spielberg's call, he was still expecting him to bring him good news, but he didn't expect that the news he brought to himself was much worse than he expected.
He originally thought that Li Mu was just going to go against Mars because he was very unhappy, but Spielberg's phone call made him understand that Li Mu wanted to make an example of himself.
In addition to the literal meaning, there is also a layer of subtext in killing chickens and monkeys: chickens may not have been guilty to death, but because they wanted to kill monkeys, they "deserve to be punished for their crimes".
After learning about Li Mu's attitude towards himself, Roland Maas immediately panicked, now, the entire Mars has lost its mouthpiece, and it is already a fool's dream to fight a propaganda war with Li Mu, if this matter continues to develop, Mars will only fall deeper and deeper, if Mars's global sales collapse, then Mars will be equivalent to removing half a life, and it is difficult to return to the peak position of the world's top 500 and the top three private companies in the United States.
Compared with Internet companies, the operation mode of the physical manufacturing industry is much slower, more stupid, and much heavier.
Internet companies are like a lightweight, powerful, and sensitive car with sensitive steering and braking, which can brake sharply, accelerate sharply, and turn sharply.
In daily operation, the Internet can directly see the number of active people on its own website and APP every day through intuitive data, and if there are clue-like fluctuations, it can be immediately insightful and directly adjusted.
For example, a shopping website normally has 500,000 online users and 10 orders per second at 10 a.m., but at 10 a.m. this day, there are 480,000 online users and 8.5 orders per second.
If the user is not satisfied with the product section just on, it can be taken offline immediately after finding out and never again, which is a sudden brake;
If there is a bug in a certain part of the product, resulting in a decline in user experience, the technical department can fix it immediately, which is a sharp turn;
If the competitor's recent promotion efforts are a bit large and steal some users, then the marketing department can immediately invest more costs and resources to improve the promotion, which is a rapid acceleration.
Compared with Internet companies, companies like Mars are very difficult to accelerate, slow down, and turn, and are more like a giant oil tanker.
Every Mars product has to go through a long process of research and development, testing, even for food, and after R&D and testing, if you want to put it on the market, you have to build one or more production lines, recruit and train professional technicians, and then mass production, which means that the start is very slow, and you need to move forward step by step.
It's like a giant oil tanker, although it has a lot of capacity, it starts slowly and accelerates slowly.
In daily operation, once a product has a problem, or the entire product line has a problem, the company cannot immediately reduce production, because behind the production reduction, it represents the reduction of production lines and labor, the rise of the unit cost of raw materials, the rise of the unit production cost, and the transfer of market share.
The operation of the production line is more like the operation of a giant oil tanker, the process of accelerating from zero takes a huge amount of power, but once it is on the right track, it can ensure the continuous operation of a stable and uniform speed, if you need to slow down in the middle, you can not achieve it by stepping on the brakes, but you need to consume a lot of fuel to push back, once the speed falls, you want to speed up again, and you need to work forward again.
If Mars is sure that its sales will not increase in the future, then it is wise to reduce production now, but the problem is that Mars is not sure whether it will be able to re-increase sales in the future.
Roland Maas knew very well that Mars could not immediately reduce production if there was still a chance.
His current situation is very similar to that of the Great Depression in the United States, when dairy farmers poured milk into the river.
On the surface, the evil capitalists would rather pour milk into the river than give it to the poor.
But if you analyze it carefully, in fact, it is not the capitalists who pour the milk into the river at all, but the dairy farmers, who may be even more pitiful than the poor.
In those days, once the milk market was bad, the capitalists would immediately stop purchasing and wait and see, because only money had no shelf life and no inventory pressure.
The milk in the hands of dairy farmers will be unsalable because it cannot be realized, and most of the people who end up pouring the milk into the river are poor dairy farmers.
In the same era, the shelf life of milk was only one or two days, and if it could not be sold, it would rot and deteriorate, even if dairy farmers wanted to give milk to people who were poorer than themselves, the storage, transportation, distribution, and even publicity of milk required a lot of costs.
Moreover, the worst thing for dairy farmers is that they know that the milk cannot be sold, but they have to continue to feed their cows and continue to milk their cows.
The reason is that they can't slaughter their cows because the milk can't be sold temporarily, and they can't suspend milking their cows and reduce the feeding of their cows because the milk can't be sold temporarily.
This is actually the same as the production line.
Roland Maas could already foresee that Mars' next step would be the dilemma faced by dairy farmers back then.
At this time, he also began to be confused, whether he chose to resist hard, or bow to Li Mu?
Bearing the guilt of Jing pleading, now that I weigh it comprehensively, it doesn't seem so difficult to accept......
