Chapter 252: Success and Failure (Part II)

God is infallible, and God's will cannot be questioned.

If the success of the iPod only made Li Jiaming famous and fortune in the United States, the birth of the iPhone made him the god of the HH company. With sales exceeding $40 billion in ten months, $4.75 billion in patent licensing fee income, and a market capitalization of $17.9 billion on iTunesStore, it's impossible for Li Jiaming not to be their god.

Bill Gates became the richest man in the world in eleven years, and he was just thirty-one years old when he ascended to the throne of the richest man, what about the great China Ming? There is no suspense that the sales of the iPhone will exceed 100 million units today, and the net profit will reach more than 10 billion US dollars, plus the revenue from patent licensing, the gross profit of GCA will reach 12 billion?

Is a 20x P/E ratio high?

That would mean that the market value of GCA Group will be more than $240 billion? If the company goes public, Boss will have a fortune of more than $100 billion, and will surpass BillGates to become the new richest man in the world?

Oh my God, the boss is only twenty-nine!

"No, not only these, but also Alibaba, Sogo, Sohu, Google, FT...... shares. ”

Yes, the three of them exclaimed again, looking at Yahoo's God Yang Zhiyuan very strangely. If we want to convince everyone to oppose God, how can we make God's strength so clear?

"Gentlemen, Miss Melissa, Miss Sheryl, Ming is most likely inflated and is following the wrong path I have taken before."

"No, the boss can't make a mistake, and there's absolutely no inflation!"

Nakamura's retort and Melissa's repeated nods made Sheryl, another female director, frown, which was not a good thing. If there is only one voice in the company, even if there is a different opinion in the board of directors, sooner or later there will be problems. At that time, Apple expelled the founder Jobs, although he had the will of capital, and he himself made strategic mistakes one after another was the main reason.

"Mr. Malouda, please listen to Jerry, after all, we can't reach his heights, and only he can understand some of Ming's thoughts, ok?"

Kyle, who was silent, also nodded again and again, and said seriously: "Malouda, Jerry and Ming are at the same level, and Ming's psychology can only be guessed by him." ”

The strong are respected, although Yang Zhiyuan has hysterical about Li Jiaming's swelling, but he is the god of Yahoo, coupled with the reprimand of his top boss, Nakamura, who is accustomed to obeying the strong, hurriedly said yes.

Yang Zhiyuan really disagrees with Li Jiaming's decision, although he has not stayed in China for a long time, he knows all kinds of things in Chinese society, even if the situation on the mainland is not the same as Taiwan, but it can still be applied to the previous situation.

"Ok, we must first understand that there is no god in this world, the starting point is good, and the original intention is to pursue social justice, but gentlemen, we are businessmen, not politicians.

Yang has made it very clear just now, Hanhua has no original sin of capital, and it is impossible for anyone to harm our interests, so why should we take risks for the interests of others? Gentlemen, it is important that we are citizens of the United States, not Chinese! ”

Well, Yang Zhiyuan's words, the five directors here are all Americans, what does China's affairs have to do with them? It didn't matter before, the sales of iPods in China were only hundreds of thousands of units a year, but what about iPhones? With 20 million units sold in mainland China since August last year and billions of dollars in licensing fees, it's not an exaggeration to say it's the largest market outside North America.

It is true everywhere that companies can not be involved in politics, but they must maintain good relations with the government! Is it worth it to go to the government of China for the sake of some irrelevant people?

Worth!

Kyle, who has been in Peking for eight years, knows that it is not worth it, and stands clearly on Yang Zhiyuan's side.

"Gentlemen, I have worked in China for eight years, and I have dealt with many of their officials, and I know their mindset very well. If Ming had gone his own way, he might have won, but he would certainly have a stiff relationship with the government. From the company's standpoint, I oppose his decision because it is not in the company's interest! ”

The company's interests, when Kyle emphasized this, Melissa, who was originally on the side of Lee Ka Ming, wavered and instinctively looked at another female director, Sheryl. Catching Melissa's gaze, Sheryl, who is good at handling public relations and product promotion, hesitates, not because she's afraid of offending the boss, but because she thinks the boss's decision is noble. However, what Kyle said is not wrong, GCA is a company, everything must be profit-oriented, and the interests of the company cannot be harmed because of personal beliefs and pursuits.

After a little swing from side to side, Sheryl chose the interests of the company, having spent time in Washington and as chief of staff to the former Treasury secretary, and had seen how politicians made deals behind the scenes. The so-called sublime is always said to the voters, and maybe Ming is noble, but he will eventually succumb to reality.

"What about you?"

"I'm against it!"

Nakamura's opposition was expected by several people, and this Japanese descendant was the boss's most loyal dog. Even if the boss says that honey is bitter, he will not hesitate to say that he has drunk it, and it is indeed bitter.

Kyle, Jerry, Sheryl, and Yang already have four votes, and their own vote will be decisive. Melissa is more hesitant to feel stressed, maybe they're right, but what happens when the boss gets angry?

Melissa used to work as a personal assistant to Lee, and with the skills she learned in business school, it's not hard to know what kind of person Boss is. If his decision is overruled by the board, Kyle and Jerry, and even Sheryl will be fine, but he will definitely be the object of his hiding. The reason is very simple, because they are Boss's employees and partners, and he, Wharton, and Tony are all his subordinates, so Malouda, who is also a subordinate, will support Boss regardless of right or wrong.

"No, I support Boss's decision, we at HH is a great company and must assume the social responsibility that we deserve!"

Yo West!

A sucker!

At 4:5, Ming won.

Secretly disappointed, Kyle had no choice but to pick up the satellite phone on the conference table and dial Li Jiaming's satellite phone to report the situation here. He has been friends with Li Jiaming for more than ten years, and he already knows how to deal with that guy, as long as he fights openly, even if he loses, he will not be angry, but if he does something under the table, he will definitely turn his face with everyone. With a 42.28% stake and the fact that the employees who hold the futures stock are like gods, if Ming rejects the rule of voting by the number of people, everyone will become his voice in the future.

But when the phone called, Li Jiaming didn't want to listen to Kyle's report, so he hung up the phone and went to the conference room, he asked others to be fair and honest in the company, so naturally he didn't want to know the result before Yang Guoqing. At this moment, he didn't know what kind of psychology he had, how could he have always thought that he was a very rational person, how could he make a kind of martyrdom-style tragedy?

The video terminals of both sides were turned on one after another, and Kyle, who was sitting in front of the camera, said sincerely: "Yang, although Ming agreed to your anonymous vote, our company does not have that tradition, so we will raise our hands to vote and express our opinions." ”

Yang Guoqing, who was disappointed, turned his head to look at Wang Zhidong and Ma Huateng, and saw that they had no objection, so he had to agree with a wry smile: "Ok, I hope everyone is rational and puts the interests of the company first." ”

Kyle on the other side of the ocean didn't know the results here, but wanted to use their results to influence Li Jiaming here, so he preemptively said: "Of course, Ming, I support Yang's suggestion." ”

Well? Yang Guoqing hurriedly looked at Yang Zhiyuan, waiting for affirmation, then Sheryl, followed by Nakamura and Malouda's opposition.

It's over, it's still 4:5, and Yang Guoqing's face is like ashes.

It's finally over, and Li Jiaming, who lost, is not very angry, and it seems to have unloaded a heavy burden. I can't do anything, and I can do my best. If he is allowed to go overseas to be a public servant like Lao Wan of Sitong, he really can't do it.
