Chapter 602: Citrus Begins to Ripen

As June approaches, Link is about to get busy again. Although he hopes that the children can have at least one of their parents by their side. Jessica needs to go to work, and the bacteria application plan he came up with makes Jessica a little busier. Jessica has to prepare for going to China with him at the end of June. He should stay at home with the child.

It's just that his business can be shaken off appropriately, but it's not completely indifferent.

One of the first things he had to do recently was attend the quarterly summary meeting of Strus Electronics.

This meeting doesn't seem like a big deal. But it was the company's first high-level meeting after the product was a great success.

And the company has developed, more need to stabilize people's hearts, if the company's people are unstable, it is likely to destroy the company's good situation. And many things will be announced by him, the big boss, with more force.

Martha planned the purpose of this meeting to boost morale. If he, as a big boss, does not attend, he seems to pay too little attention, and his effect on boosting morale will be greatly reduced.

On the day of the corporate meeting, he flew to Seattle in the morning.

He first met with representatives of Boeing Aircraft to hear about the production plan for the aircraft he had ordered.

The contract for his aircraft was for one and a half years of delivery. Such a delivery period is already a plug in for Boeing.

Now, his plane has not yet been built, but Boeing representatives say they have found suppliers to contract interior parts according to the design plan. Boeing has also set a schedule for the construction of his aircraft.

Link looked at the schedule given by the other party. If there are no problems, according to this schedule, the aircraft can still be delivered on time in a year and a half.

But it's too early to say that.

He signed the schedule and returned one of them, saying, "So far, I'm satisfied with your arrangement." I will arrange for the next stage of payment to be transferred to your designated account within two days. ”

"Guaranteeing 100% customer satisfaction is what Boeing aims for. Thank you for your trust in our Boeing company!" said the Boeing representative who stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand. "Mr. Hans, if you have no other questions, I will take my leave. ”

Link asks Tiger to help him get him out.

Not long after, Martha and Carrick arrived at his hotel room at the appointed time.

The meeting will be held in the afternoon, and there are some things that they need to communicate first.

Martha submitted some reports to Link.

After Link saw it, he discussed it with her and Carrick. By noon, they finalized the plans.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Link showed up on time in the conference room of Strus Electronics. When he entered the conference room, all the senior staff above the deputy manager level of all departments of the company had arrived. However, there were not many participants, about 30 or so.

There was an empty seat in the middle of the top of the long conference table, with Martha and Carrick sitting on either side.

Link knew it was the seat reserved for him and walked over and sat down. He smiled, his eyes running over everyone's faces, and said, "It's nice to see you all again." I know most of you here. If you haven't met before, please introduce yourself. I'll come first. I'm Link Hans, the majority shareholder of Strus Electronics. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

There were a few people who hadn't really met Link before, and they took turns introducing themselves according to their positions.

Link nodded in response. Wait until everyone is seated again. He said: "I just learned about the company's performance in the past month or so. I must say, I am amazed by your efforts! Yes, you have achieved more than I could have imagined. So, today, you are the protagonists of the meeting. But I think most of you know that the company is doing well, but you don't know exactly that. I would now like to give the floor to President Topson for the company's performance in the previous quarter. ”

He clapped and looked at Martha.

Martha glanced back at her secretary. Her secretary pulled out a stack of papers and handed them out.

Martha waited for everyone to get the documents before coughing lightly and said, "The company's summary of the past quarter has been formed into a written report, and you have it in your hands." I'll just give you a brief overview of the situation. ”

A large part of this summary is a summary of the company's experiences and lessons learned over the past quarter. Martha also highlighted a number of issues.

After all that stuff is said and done, all that's left is to summarize the performance.

"Our Strus mobile phone was very unsatisfactory in the early days of sales. Of course, that is caused by various objective factors. However, we are glad that all of you here have chosen to move forward and retreat with the company even when there is no future. ”

The people Link hadn't met before, their predecessors had jumped ship because they felt the company had no future, and Martha and Carrick promoted them from the company.

It's also normal for those people to change jobs. In particular, with the exception of Carrick and Martha, the other high-ups didn't know that Strus's phone had an anti-eavesdropping function.

People go to higher places, seeing that the company has no future, and there are better opportunities, of course, no one wants to stay there.

It is precisely because the company was unstable for a period of time that Martha had such a sentence.

"In the past month or so, the marketing department has contacted more than 60 physical sellers for the company even though it is not optimistic about the market at all. Recently, we have obtained permission for our products to be sold in Europe and China. They are the main contributors to our Strus's sales performance during this time!"

She said this, first clapping.

A blonde woman stood up to the applause and nodded to everyone.

Martha waited for her to sit down before continuing: "Of course, the work of the production department and the propaganda department is also very important. The joint efforts of other sectors are also essential. And our efforts and solidarity have also paid off handsomely. ”

She paused, raised her voice slightly, and said: "As you can see, as of today, the company has sold more than 5.93 million mobile phones, including more than 360,000 Type A mobile phones...... Total sales amounted to more than US$4,291 million. So far, the daily turnover has increased for 38 consecutive days. Especially in the past two weeks, we have opened the markets of major Asian and European countries, with a daily growth rate of more than 5%. According to the results of market research, we have a potential market of more than 150 million Strus mobile phones for the three models we have. But we all hope that is an extremely conservative estimate. ”

Then she summarized some of the problems found in the operation, and then asked the managers of each department to speak: "If you have any suggestions, say them and we will discuss them together." ”

While they were discussing, Link mostly listened, but occasionally expressed his own opinions, so that he would not be devoid of presence.

When they've talked about everything.

And then there is Link's speech.

"The company's achievements today are the result of everyone's joint efforts. I discussed with President Topson and Director Tang and decided that the company would seek an IPO within two years. At that time, employees who contribute to the company will receive a certain amount of options. Of course, that's a reward for the future. He laughs. "All of you and all the other employees of the company deserve to be rewarded for the company's achievements today. We've decided that all of you will be paid 12 weeks a week this week. Other staff members can receive a six-week bonus. ”

The company goes public within two years, employees have options, and there are immediate incentives. Link's promises, even these high-level executives can't help but bang in their hearts.

Strus Electronics is just a new company, and these executives were thinking that they would have to make more outstanding performance even if they wanted to get the option. They didn't expect Link to decide to go public now, and they promised to give options at this time.

The popularity of Strus phones in the market convinced them that this was an electronics giant that was rising at a high speed. As long as the future business strategy does not make big mistakes, Strus Electronic Technology may even replicate the sales myth of Apple back then. If the options are given before going public, they are likely to become the new billionaires in the United States once the company goes public.

In the United States, it is not uncommon to work part-time to become a billionaire. For example, in some IT companies, perhaps a humble programmer may be a billionaire.

And becoming a billionaire is the success that all working people aspire to.

Of course, with Strus's current situation, it will take the rest of them to continue to work hard to get there. Otherwise, the shares they get may never appreciate in value, or even depreciate.

Link saw the change in their expressions, and the smile on his face widened. That's what he wants.

The most important incentive of options is to make employees take the company's interests as their own. If the company is good, the stock will rise, and their assets will rise.

Nowadays, people in some developed countries are actually living a life of borrowing. For example, the United States, and China.

And in a society like the United States, assets are quite available for money. They can apply for a loan at the bank with their assets. In a word, as long as your assets are appraised at a certain percentage, the bank will be able to lend you a certain percentage.

Therefore, in the United States, the option incentive system is applied by almost all large enterprises.

Link wanted Strus to continue to grow at a high speed, and it was necessary to create an environment of internal stability and unity. That's the only way to retain people and attract more people to join.
