The fact that he was able to meet the father of the Internet in his dissertation defense was an unexpected surprise for Jonas.

But that's about it.

He didn't want to change the course of history, especially the development of the computer industry, and if it changed too much, it would make him lose the opportunity.

To put it simply, he now knows that those companies in the future will develop well, and he can invest directly when the time comes.

However, if the Internet had appeared two years earlier, it would have been a question of whether many companies would have appeared in the future.

He doesn't need to change the world, he just needs to firmly grasp the opportunity at an important juncture.

Compared to the Internet, which is still uncertain, he has more important things to deal with.

However, as he left the school, Jonas was stopped by Schwarge. "Jonas, if we really master the Internet, will Switzerland be able to become a leader in a new industry?"

Jonas pondered for a long time before he said, "Switzerland's power does not allow us to be the dominant one, but we can be the arbiter of transcendence." For example, if we develop an interface browser with hypertext links, can we control the entire software industry?"

As soon as Jonas said this, Schwarch understood. Don't talk about the Soviet Union, even Armenia, and will not let Switzerland dominate and stand on its head.

"The arbiter of transcendence?"

"If we develop this technology, we can license it, and we don't need to master the production ourselves, we only need to master the standard setting of the industry, it's enough. ”

Schwarch happily patted Jonas on the shoulder and said, "You go ahead first, and in July, I will be able to design the company structure, and then we will talk about your graduate program." ”

Seeing his smile, Jonas always had the feeling of an old fox, and he wondered if he had dug a hole for himself again?

Getting into the car, Plov smiled and said, "Congratulations, Jonas." Starting today, you enter another phase of your life. ”

Jonas laughed happily: "For me, not much has changed. ”

Kaiya Yang turned his head and said: "Jonas, next time I go to the Czech Republic, I will take you out to see, Czech women are really very enthusiastic." ”

Plov couldn't help but shake his head, this bastard!

Jonas gave him a blank look, he was merry every day, and a full man did not know that a hungry man was hungry.

Where do you have freedom now?

However, he is no stranger to Czech women, and Leia, who almost talked about marriage with him, is from the Czech Republic.

It's just that she was born in 95, and now even her mother is not an adult.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

The past is not recalled!

Back at the investment bank headquarters, the third floor of the house has been fully owned by Hoffman Investment Bank, and Deloitte & Touche has moved to the next building.

Hoffman's investment bank has expanded dramatically, and the staff of the headquarters has exceeded 150 people, and by next year, I am afraid that even Seaman Investment will be driven out.

The six major departments of the Automobile Division, the Investment Division, the Petroleum Division, the Asset Management Department, the Information Department, and the Human Resources Department are still suffering from a serious shortage of manpower.

At present, it will be maintained for a period of time, and when the projects are stable in July and August, it is the time for the company to reorganize and recruit people on a large scale.

However, the headhunting of high-end talents has already been launched.

"Jonas, President Jacob asked you to come to his office as soon as you came to the company. ”

"Has Bob Lutz arrived?"

"Yes. ”

"Let them come to my office to talk, and by the way, bring me a glass of Longjing. ”

"Okay. ”

Jonas had just sat down in his office when there was a knock on the door. "Come in. ”

Jacob pushed open the door with a cup of coffee in his hand, followed by a tall, middle-aged man.

"Jonas, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Bob Lutz, who has worked for Ford for 12 years, BMW for 7 years, and is currently the vice president of Chrysler. ”

Jonas greeted him out of his desk, waited for Jacob to finish his introduction, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Lutz, I have heard of your name. ”

This is not a polite matter, Jonas has to hire a president-level manager for his car company, and he will interview if he already knows the experience of each candidate very well.

Bob Lutz has already served as global vice president of product development at BMW, making him a well-known name in the automotive industry.

Bob Lutz smiled and shook Jonas' hand. Because Jacob is also there, his title is: "Mr. Hoffman Jr., you have laid out the automobile industry since 84 years, and in the past year and a half, you have changed the pattern of the world's automobile industry, which is even more admirable." ”

Jonas invited him and Jacob to sit down in the chair across from his desk, and he sat back in the chair, and then faced him and said: "It is not a good idea to use the financial advantage to make acquisitions, but if you can develop the potential of Skoda, Volvo, Steyr, and Opel, and form a close industrial structure, it is the most difficult thing." ”

Erwin brought in a cup of tea for Jonas, placed it in front of Jonas, sat down beside him, and opened his shorthand book.

This kind of recruitment of high-end talents is not as simple as recruiting in large quantities, Jonas wants to interview Lutz, and Lutz also has to interview Jonas.

He is now Chrysler's global vice president and has been a corporate executive for more than two decades, and he is not short of money.

In addition to money, the pursuit is more of a life ideal, or a life ambition.

Hearing Jonas say this, he nodded and said: "There is overlap in the product lines of Skoda and Opel, there is also overlap between Opel and Volvo, and Volvo and Steyr also overlap in the field of trucks. This means that these companies will have internal friction with each other, waste of resources, and sales competition.

But these companies, except for Volvo's products that have a certain competitiveness, are now struggling to operate. Poorly managed, these factories will only become a burden, not a help. ”

Jonas nodded and said, "So, my company needs talents like Mr. Lutz to coordinate human resources, simplify internal consumption, and rationally arrange enterprise competition." ”

Lutz didn't answer this sentence and asked: "In the reports of the outside media, Hoffman Investment Bank's entry into the automobile industry is more regarded as a hedging investment in the stage of abundant funds. What does Mr. Hoffman Jr. think about this?"

"Just call me Jonas. ”

"Again, please call me Bob. ”

Jonas smiled and asked, "Bob, what do you think?"

Bob pondered for a moment and said: "At the beginning, I started with Austrian accessories manufacturers, I think it was a stroke of genius, and Skoda's acquisition can also be seen as a helpless roundabout choice to break through the encirclement."

But the next action, to be honest, I can't understand it. In the stock market, he became the majority shareholder of three German car companies, acquiring Rolls-Royce and Bentley, Volvo and now Opel.

All this is like a giant beast, which doesn't care whether it can digest it or not, and wants to swallow everything that can be eaten and what cannot be eaten.

I doubt the vitality of such a car group, which is now like a bloated monster, and it is difficult to make it as powerful as a lion and as nimble as a cheetah. ”

Jonas asked, "Why can't you think of it as a pack of wolves, or a pack of hunting dogs? Overall, car groups are bloated, but individually, each company has its own unique characteristics." ”

Bob asked, "Are you really that optimistic?"

Jonas has nothing more to say, and it is true that at the moment, it seems that the situation of these companies is not very good. If it's good, the other party won't sell it.

He said with a smile: "Although these companies are in difficulty now, I am personally very optimistic about the future development. ”

Bob nodded, he wanted to prove his vision in front of Jonas, not to provoke.

What's more, if he didn't have the intention of changing positions, he wouldn't have accepted Jacob's invitation to come for an interview.

"Jonas, I'm actually very optimistic about the future prospects of the Hoffmann Group, which is the main reason why I accepted the invitation. ”

Jonas asked, "The main reason why you are bullish"

He smiled: "It's a reason that you don't want to control Mercedes-Benz." ”

Both laughed. He then added: "From the soaring oil prices after the wars in the Middle East in the 70s, we can see a reality that cannot be ignored, that is, people are buying cars more and more towards practical and low fuel consumption. It can be said that the concept of civilian cars will occupy the mainstream market for a long time to come. ”

Jonas asked, "So, Bob, would you like to work at Hoffman?"

"I can't be too anxious, I need to go to Opel to have a look, and we haven't talked about the treatment seriously. ”

Jonas laughed: "You can change your mind, Hoffman is definitely not the company you used to work for, because we are not completely focused on the automotive industry.

Suffice it to say, I, the chairman, will never interfere with your work in the automotive industry. My main scope of work is to invest and lead the way.

You will have more autonomy and at the same time accept that I am not doing my job. ”

Bob laughs, "I like the working environment. However, I am also responsible for my choices. ”

Jonas nodded and said to Erwin, "Arrange a plane to send Mr. Lutz to the Opel headquarters in Lutelsheim, so that he can see the Opel's carefully built Omega cars." ”

Erwin nodded, and Jonas turned to Bob and said, "I'm not a stingy boss, my philosophy of life is to share interests and work together to win."

You need to discover our potential, and I have been impeccable to you because of Mrs. Covante's compliments. Of course, this is also because we don't have too much talent right now. ”

After making a little joke, Jonas said solemnly: "When you come back from Germany, if you are willing to continue talking, we will talk about the treatment again, is it okay?"

He stood up and held out his hand and smiled, "I think I've discovered your charisma." Now, I have a preference for wanting to sign a contract. ”
