Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Tree Falls and Scatters
Everything is like a movie, but it's more exciting than a movie.
The board of directors just passed a resolution agreeing to sell the company, and at 10 o'clock in the morning the next day, Intel announced that it had successfully acquired the company, which was incredibly fast.
‘*!’
‘****!’
When the news came, the directors who were discussing the open bidding plan suddenly burst into a rage, and the angry scolding was heard in the Qualcomm conference room, and only Owen, who was in a wheelchair, smiled happily. Looking at some of the directors who swore in front of him, the aging Owen laughed so hard that tears came out.
It's so enjoyable!
That kid was quick enough to give up all possible hopes so quickly that all these Judas dreams were shattered!
"Brche, do me a favor and push me out for a drink. ”
A worried Bruce hurriedly came over, took the wheelchair from his old boss and mentor's son, and pushed the old man out of the conference room, finally in exchange for a few taps on the back of his hand. The three of them came to old Owen's office, but instead of pouring him wine, they poured him a glass of boiled water and prepared him with a handful of pills.
With the boiled water poured by the assistant, Owen took the medicine and suddenly said: "You didn't expect it, Ming and I sold all the shares to Intel, and they now have 47.16% of the voting rights."
“boss?”
Owen, who succeeded in revenge, suddenly became lonely again, looked at the assistant he brought out single-handedly, and remembered: "Brche, how I want to go back to the time when I was in school before, when we could talk anything and often quarreled. ”
Bruce, whose face was ugly, was silent, although the old Irving took revenge on the betrayer and kept his interests, but what about the others? The company's executives almost all voted in him, and now Intel has taken control, and the others have no bargaining power, so what should they do?
Cold salad, Americans believe in God, it is better to believe in the dollar, when things are irreparable, who will not withdraw first? Moreover, the broken promise of a director gave the old Owen the truth, and Li Jiaming has cash in his hand that can make Intel jealous, so why not quickly kick those directors who broke their promises away and flee by themselves?
However, Li Jiaming can do this, but Owen can't, because he is not only the chairman and boss of Qualcomm, but also the boss of Bruce. In English, in addition to the meaning of the boss, the boss has a deeper meaning: the boss. As a leader, he can't abandon his subordinates and followers at will.
"The fourteen basic patents of A are my own, and I will take you to start over, and I will give you futures shares at the beginning. Trust me, we can get around those patent traps. ”
Can it be bypassed?
The silent Bruce couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and said in a deep voice: "Professor, do you know that you are the boss?"
"So I didn't abandon you, I'm going to lead you to a fresh start! If I don't trade first, we won't even be able to raise start-up capital, and will you believe those Judas won't take the initiative to trade?
Kids, as long as they don't sell their shares on the stock market, they can be transferred to anyone, any company!"
Yes, your wealth has been preserved, but what about ours! Lead us again, nice to say, but still damn futures stocks instead of stocks! Bruce, who also feels betrayal, doesn't want to follow such a leader anymore, even if he was once his teacher and mentor.
"No, when the acquisition is completed and the ban is lifted, I want to sell the stock and do what I want to do. ”
"It's impossible to keep you!"
"I know, be!"
It's another Judas!Old Owen was furious, but his former student and assistant didn't care about him anymore, and turned and left.
None of the closest students and assistants want to follow, let alone anyone else?
After hearing the news, Li Jiaming was preparing for the exam, and said with a smile: "Nakamura-kun, do you know why we failed this time?"
"He is so arrogant! If he had agreed to cooperate with us last time, he would not have come to this point. Li San, they white people always discriminate against us yellow people, unless you are much better than him, you will not be treated equally at all. ”
Perhaps, the most fundamental reason is that he is not a good leader, or maybe he is too selfish. This time, the old boy cashed out nearly a billion dollars, and if the core team is still there, it may not be possible to make a comeback.
"Is Zhang's matter settled?"
Nakamura, who was still sitting upright just now, immediately got up, bowed respectfully and said, "It's dealt with, Wharton will do it himself, and there won't be any legal problems." ”
That's good, you must thank for your merits, Li Jiaming hates that 'reward' very much, and always thinks that the word 'reward' is the most appropriate to change to 'thanks'. In addition to people like Nakamura who are completely dependent on themselves, they should have enough respect for their subordinates, and not tools that can be used and sacrificed at any time. This is the only way to keep the team together and to be generous when someone has to make a sacrifice.
"I will inject the cash into the institute in batches, and after breaking even, make it independent of HH. Nakamura-kun, although you have studied microelectronics, you are not experienced enough in this area, and you have thrown away your major for too long.
The institute is temporarily handed over to you to manage, and after finding a suitable successor, you go to be his assistant. When the research institute has enough strength, I will put it on the market at the appropriate time. ”
"Hey!"
Nakamura, who was grateful, bowed deeply again, and hurriedly suggested: "Boss, what do you think of BRCHE? I have understood, he is a master's student of OEN, and he has been working at Qualcomm since graduation, from an ordinary technician to a VP, and has been in charge of technology research and development. I've also heard that Oen had intended him to be his successor in place of his son, Paul. ”
This is the team he wants, and all internal competition will be consciously placed under the interests of the team, Li Jiaming nodded with satisfaction.
"Except for the futures shares after one year of work, the rest of the conditions are as generous as possible. ”
"Boss, he's proven what he's capable of. ”
"No, that's the rule! In addition to the inability to find suitable candidates internally, our management will be selected from within, and try not to hire external professional managers. Nakamura-kun, it's important to remember that NEL (Ascending Channel) is more effective than any incentive. ”
"Hi".
Nakamura, who was very grateful to Li Jiaming, bowed deeply, helped him clean up the apartment while he was reading a book, and immediately went to lobby Bruce, who was waiting for Intel to lay off people and get compensation.
Two or three hours later, Li Jiaming read his classmates' notes and found that Wharton was sitting there drinking coffee. Wharton, who has already completed the reward affairs, really admires the generosity of his boss, and he will reward the other party with $12 million just by passing on a word, which is really rare for such a generous boss.
The young man was still too tender, Li Jiaming took the coffee handed over by Wharton, and said with a smile: "Am I stupid?"
Wharton was stunned for a moment, and suddenly exclaimed, "You, God."
Li Jiaming put his finger to his mouth, made a silent motion, and pointed: "The suicide rate of lawyers and accountants remains high, and many times it is because they know too much. ”
“”。
"Are you scared?"
is a little scared, Wharton, who has not done much of this kind of thing, is a little scared, but he believes that Li Jiaming will not give up any of his subordinates easily. If one day you really want to give up a subordinate, you will also be given a generous compensation.
After drinking coffee, Li Jiaming handed a document to Wharton and instructed: "Find a way to get the Harvard School of Architecture to agree to her admission application and give her a full scholarship, and it has nothing to do with me." If you need funds, go to Nakamura to deal with it. ”
After a few glances at the information, Wharton, who was an undergraduate at Harvard, turned around and walked away without asking why.
