Chapter 199: The Cut of Love, the Depth of Love (I)
Shirley Sandberg, the general manager of sales at HH, is very capable, and Kyle hired her as the first sister of the public relations department, in addition to her ability, there is also a very important reason, that is, her teacher used to be the country's finance minister, and she used to be the chief of staff of the finance minister, at the age of 29.
In the 2000th year, after losing the Democratic election, Shirley left Washington for Silicon Valley, and was immediately recruited by the thirsty Kyle. Shirley also lived up to expectations, leading the sales department to conquer the city, and established HH's supremacy in the field of digital music players in just a few years. In addition to the technical advantages of the iPod, Shirley's marketing skills have also contributed to this, so she not only manages the sales department but also serves as the public relations manager, becoming the only executive in HH to wear two hats, and her influence and power are far higher than Marissa, VP of the customer experience department.
Those who can work more, and those who work more get more. With her outstanding performance, Shirley not only obtained more than 60 million worth of futures stocks, but also entered the board of directors before Marisa, becoming the third American director after Kyle and Yang Zhiyuan. Coupled with Marisa, who joined the board of directors at the beginning of the year, there are four American directors of the eight board members of HH Company, accounting for half of the board of directors.
Even numbers are not good, and it is easy for the board to vote for a stalemate. After attending the rehearsal, Kyle discussed a few words with Li Jiaming and called Shirley and Marissa over.
"Boss wants to add a director, considering that the company's market is mainly in Europe and the United States, he wants to let Malouda from the research institute take the position, do you have any opinions?"
If he joins the board of directors again, there will be four directors with technical backgrounds, and the boss who has always been unconditionally supported in terms of technology, it means that the administrative and marketing departments will revolve around the technical department.
"I agree"
"I agree".
After a little thought, the two immediately agreed to Kyle's proposal, the company can create one brilliant success, and the d7 made all competitors desperate, selling 42.14 million units in six months, with sales of more than $8.4 billion, and driving the iTunesStore business to surge and the stock price to rise all the way.
However, immediately after that, Shirley spoke out, opposing the company's continued support for Google, advocating that it compete fairly with Yahoo, even if Li Jiaming is its largest shareholder.
That's right, for the sake of the company, the more competitive the two are, the better it is for the company. But this greatly harmed the interests of Li Jiaming, who owns more than 30% of Google's shares, but does not have a penny of Yahoo shares.
For such subordinates who only have interests and no bosses in their eyes, Li Jiaming loves and hates, but he can also tolerate it. After a moment's thought, he kicked the ball back as well. Larry's skills and fighting eyes are first-class, but his business acumen is still a little worse, this woman is frighteningly energetic and capable, if she can go there to help get the business done, she won't lose her investment.
"Sheryl, I'm going to inject a stake in Google into HH, can you go to Google for a while as the head of the commercial department?"
This?
Shirley hesitated, if she injected Google's stake into HH, although she could not make it a subsidiary of the company, it would be extremely profitable to make it bigger and stronger, whether it was for Boss, the company or herself. However, she didn't have much confidence to compete with a behemoth like Yahoo.
"Sheryl, we're a team, and I'm not mincing words. If Google can reach half the height of Yahoo in the future, it means that each of us can greatly increase the value of our assets. Of course, the premise is that it does not affect your work at HH, otherwise I would rather look for a suitable person else. β
The word value-added was tempting, and Shirley thought for a moment before agreeing, "Yes/boss".
This becomes, even if you want to share a part of the possible benefits to everyone, as long as you do Google, you will get more.
After discussing Wayne's entry into the board of directors and Shirley's part-time job at Google, Li Jiaming is also ready to go home to accompany his lover. In addition to knowing some future trends and being able to work out the right strategies, Lee doesn't think he's more capable than them. In terms of business management, he thinks that he is not as good as Kyle, and he is not as good as these two women in terms of market development and customer experience, let alone technology. People are self-aware, not as good as others, don't even know what to command, if the layman commands the insider's thing happens in the company, I don't know how serious the consequences will be.
After discussing business, Shirley, who can switch freely between business and personal relationships, hurriedly grabbed the boss and said curiously: "Boss, are you really back together with your first girlfriend?"
"Hmm"
Marissa also hurriedly said, "Don't you introduce her to us?"
What do you mean by introducing her to you? It's just to satisfy your curiosity and see what is different about the woman you've fallen in love with. Li Jiaming, who was immersed in love, was also happy, took out his old wallet, and opened the small yellowed photo to show them.
"See, I was twelve and she was eleven. β
"That?"
No one needs to ask, Li Jiaming knows what they care about, and said with a smile: "This is personal privacy, OK?"
βOkβγ
The two didn't ask, but Shirley sincerely invited Li Jiaming to bring his girlfriend to her birthday party tomorrow night.
This invitation is interesting, although she is indeed tomorrow's birthday, but she is so solemn, for fear that she will not bring anyone there, it can be seen how much curiosity they have, but Li Jiaming did not dare to agree.
The love is deep, the love is deep. The lost and regained love affair makes Li Jiaming a bit like a hairy young man who has just fallen in love, and regards Liu Shasha, who is a childhood sweetheart, as a treasure, for fear of wronging her. Shirley is not a female programmer in the company, and she has extremely high requirements for the quality of life, and she used to pay attention to her clothes when she went to her party. Sasha is used to being thrifty and strong, let her go to a luxurious party, isn't this wronged her?
βMing?β
βOkβγ
Li Jiaming had no choice but to tell them about his lover's situation, which provoked their ridicule. It's not a normal problem for friends in the United States to have a meal between them and the AA system, and the girlfriend doesn't spend the boyfriend's money?
But after the joke, the two women with extremely high emotional intelligence also understood one thing, the girl who had not met yet was very important to the boss. In the past, the Chinese girl chased the boss backwards, but I didn't see the boss so cautious, like a person who has just fallen in love.
Of course it is very important, after Li Jiaming left the company, he not only went to the supermarket to buy vegetables, but also went to the research institute to find Jiang Yu and took a live carp weighing more than a catty. In North America, wild carp are overflowing, which makes it easier for Chinese people to feast. Even fishing is exempt, as long as you drive a speedboat to run around the river, a few catties or more than a dozen catties of carp can jump into the boat.
When Li Jiaming returned home, he found that he was busy in vain, and Sasha had already cooked the meal. It's not surprising, when she was in Cambridge Town, Sasha often cooked when she had time, and her skills were much worse than Li Jiaming's, but they were good, and the strange thing was her expression, no matter how she looked at it, she felt a little weird.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing".
When she said this, Li Jiaming was worried. Although she didn't have a hard time in Cambridge Town, she didn't have a good time, and when she suddenly came to herself, can she get used to it?
"Really?"
The delicate Sasha suddenly smiled and stretched out a little white hand, "IC, IP, IQ card, all tell me the password!"
It's very demonic, this joke is not funny, Li Jiaming said nervously: "Sasha, what's wrong?"
"Reluctantly?"
"You want to burn this, I'll help you light the fire, what's wrong?"
Sure enough, Sasha smiled.
