Chapter 240: How the Son of a Loser Was Made!
The industry and the media were amazed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Laurian Truman, a well-known American economist, expressed his views on the matter of Wang Lie's taking over as president of Wang An Computer Company on ABC TV, "David S. Landes once wrote a book called "The World's Greatest Family Business", which summarized that successful family businesses are basically distributed in three fields: banking, automobile, and traditional energy.
In these areas, the prestige and social influence of the family can be passed on, and the resources owned by the family will not be easily taken away by competitors.
Those legendary patriarchs, they were brave entrepreneurs who did well on their own and eventually created a kingdom. And as long as their successors do not make big mistakes, they can keep the family business alive.
The IT industry, where Wang An's company is located, is a rapidly developing field, where ordinary people's level of preservation will be quickly eliminated. As far as I know, Wang Lie entered Wang An Computer Company as soon as he graduated, and was in charge of the company's research department, but his performance was mediocre, and over the years, he announced that more than ten products were not successful!
Obviously, Wang Lie's ability is too poor to serve as the president of Wang An Computer Company!
Dr. Wang An will face a huge failure when he brings the traditional Chinese family management style to European and American companies!"
Laurien Truman's comments were recognized by countless people and reprinted in newspapers.
Wall Street Journal: "Wang An Computer Company no longer has the enterprising spirit of the past, and has become a conservative, outdated enterprise !!"
The New York Times: "Dr. Wang An's cronyism will inevitably lead to the decline of Wang An's computer company!"
……
Public opinion in the industry is not optimistic about Wang An Computer Company, and many directors and executives within the company are opposed, and the stock price of Wang An Computer Company also plummets.
However, even so, Wang Lie still became the president as he wished.
Not long after, Wang An Computer Company held a press conference. In an interview with media reporters, Wang Lie said arrogantly: "The personal computer industry is developing rapidly, and Wang An Computer Company is also preparing to enter the industry, and with the research and development capabilities of Wang An Computer Company, it will definitely develop the fastest and strongest personal computer." When the time comes, all major computer manufacturers will be afraid!!"
"Mr. Wang, as far as I know, the computer developed by Wang An Computer Company is not compatible with IBM-PC?" the reporter asked.
"Wang An Computer Company disdains to be associated with IBM, so our company's products are by no means compatible with IBM-PC products!! Wang Lie said very conceitedly.
The reporters were stunned, feeling that Wang Lie was so stupid.
"Mr. Wang, IBM-PC has opened up the corresponding technical standards, which has led to the flourishing of a large number of PC compatible machine manufacturers, and these PC compatible machine manufacturers have actually become IBM's loose but powerful alliance, and application software around IBM-PC and IBM-PC compatible machines have been developed one after another. Why are you still so confident?" the reporter asked.
Wang Lie replied disdainfully: "For many years, IBM has been the hegemon of the computer industry, and many companies have succumbed to it, but Wang An Computer Company is not afraid! We will even defeat it in some fields!" Speaking of this, Wang Lie paused, raised his voice by a few decibels, and looked proud! "In the field of personal computers, I also believe that with the strength of Wang An Computer Company, we will definitely be able to defeat IBM! Everyone please wait and see!"
"Wait and see??"
In front of the TV, Li Zetian, who was watching the live broadcast of the press conference, couldn't help but laugh playfully, "Then I really have to wait and see!"
Dongfang Yuqin couldn't help but say: "Wang An is proud and conceited, and Wang Lie is the same, but he doesn't have his father's talent and ability. Wang An's computer company is handed over to him, I am afraid that the building will collapse! It's a pity that the legend of the business empire that Wang An has built all his life has fallen like this!"
Li Zetian looked very open, and said lightly: "There is no eternal empire where the sun never sets! Any company will have ups and downs, Wang An Computer Company is like this, and other companies are also like this." ”
"Hmm. Dongfang Yuqin nodded, "By the way, Mr. Li, you asked for a headhunting company to poach talents from Wang An's computer company, and I have already ordered it to go down." ”
"Well, that's good!" Li Zetian said with a smile, "Within Wang An Computer Company, there are many people who are not used to Wang Lie, and it is a matter of time before they resign, so we take the initiative to avoid the loss of these talents and go to other companies!"
……
Wang Lie did not inherit Wang An's skills in employing talents, and did not arrange the company's three major R&D pillars - Kaulko, Kaubrau and Sgal. Originally, Wang An adopted the method of "raising horses in separate slots", letting them each be responsible for a research and development team, competing with each other, and promoting the development of the company, but Wang Lie emphasized internal cooperation to unify the thinking of the three of them, but this was simply impossible, and the result was that the three of them were full of contradictions.
……
"Hello Kaulko, I am an employee of a headhunting company. I heard that you are not doing well at Wang An Computer Company, why don't you join another company? Chronos・Li values you very much, you might as well consider Sun Microsystems!"
……
"Hello Kaublau, Kolko has jumped to Sun Microsystems, are you still willing to stay in Wang An Computer Company? The current Wang An Computer Company is no longer the Wang An Computer Company of the past, such a big company actually let a person with mediocre ability point fingers at you, can you bear it? Chronos Li is a really good boss, he appreciates your talent very much, I hope you can join Sun Microsystems!"
……
"Hello Sgal, I am an employee of a headhunting company, Kaulko and Kaublau have joined Sun Microsystems, as the three main brains of the R&D department of Wang An Computer Company, are you willing to stay here alone?"
In the first month of Wang Lie's tenure as president, Kaulko was poached by Li Zetian, and immediately after, Kaublau and Sgal were also poached. The three main brains of Wang An Computer Company's research and development have joined Sun Microsystems, and at the same time, they have each taken a group of elite talents under them. As a result, the R&D strength of Wang An Computer Company has plummeted.
Regarding the loss of talents, Wang Lie didn't care about it at first, and he couldn't stop it, thinking to himself, anyway, the company has a lot of talent reserves, even if some people are gone, the company will not hurt the bones.
Wang Lie is now bent on how to make the company make more money and increase his performance after taking office, so as to convince everyone, which is also the most favorable counterattack to public opinion questioning his ability!
In terms of marketing, the service fee for replacing the software necessary to maintain the operation of the equipment has been greatly increased, that is, whoever buys the mainframe or small computer of Wang An Computer Company must pay a service fee of 5,000 US dollars in advance, compared with only 1,000 US dollars in the past. In addition, relations with dealers deteriorated, and when the dealers called Wang An Computer engineers for technical problems, they were charged $175 each time.
In the first month of Wang Lie's tenure, Wang An's computer company's income increased significantly.
Wang Lie didn't realize the company's crisis at all, but was complacent, thinking, "Now you see how good I am, since I took over as president, the company's revenue has increased by tens of millions of dollars compared to last month!!
Li Zetian was stunned, and was shocked by Wang Lie's various actions of killing chickens and taking eggs.
", it's really awesome, it turns out that the loser is made like this!!"
was so engaged by Wang Lie, the users of Wang An Computer Company complained, and many users abandoned it. Since the second month, the performance of Wang An Computer Company has begun to decline sharply.
The company's employees expressed their dissatisfaction, and the media began to advocate that Wang An Computer Company would go bankrupt and go bankrupt!
Wang Lie felt nervous at this time, but he insisted: "Wang An Computer Company is a large company with an annual revenue of 3 billion US dollars, and it will never go bankrupt!"
Of course, Wang An Computer Company is so big, it really won't go bankrupt in just a few months, what if it happens in another year, two years, or three years?
