Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for me to say goodbye to you all tonight.

Maybe we have met, maybe I have been very rude to one of you gentlemen and ladies, but please forgive me for all kinds of rudeness, and thank you for supporting me, you have made us a great company, and you have made us the best.

When I was 20 years old, I went to Cambridge to study and explore what is the meaning of life? It was at the great MIT that made me realize the power of faith. There, I learned that if we work together, together we can really change the world.

I still firmly believe in this even if I am bleeding in the face of the reality of society.

I was lucky enough to find my best friend in life when I was 40 years old, Ming Hedong!

After fifteen years of entrepreneurship and struggle, we finally founded one of the greatest companies in the world, and we finally changed the world with a small iPhone.

Ming, for the past 15 years, you have not only been my boss, but also my best friend and partner. You've taken on a role that has led us forward, and it's your wisdom and courage that make our company and our team the best we can be.

Don, you're the most talented person I know, and we wouldn't be so successful without you and your team. Thank you and all our colleagues at GCA Research Institute, it is your efforts that have given us the ability to change the world and stand on top of the world.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is you and us who have changed the world together!

Tonight, I will leave this great company because I am tired and can no longer keep up with it, but I am more optimistic about GCA than I was when I knew Ming Wo Dong.

I want you to believe not only in our ability to make a difference in the world, but also in your own ability to make a difference in the world.

I hope you will firmly believe that technology drives everything, and this belief exists in the hearts of every GCA member.

Yes, we can change the world.

Yes, we changed the world.

Yes, we will change the world again in the future!

Kyle's farewell speech was roughly like this, English is not Lee's native language after all, he can appreciate its brilliance, but he can't accurately translate it in Chinese, but the thunderous applause shows that it was a successful speech.

In the thunderous applause, Li Jiaming, who was standing on the left side of the stage, walked over with applause, hugged the old man and old friend who was about to leave, and whispered in his ear: "Kyle, I respect your choice and hope you have a happy long vacation." ”

"No, it's retirement, I'm tired."

Perhaps, Li Jiaming let go of him happily, and the two of them laughed and stepped off the stage and gave the stage to the new CEO Shirley. She won't be the first female CEO in Silicon Valley, but she'll definitely be one of the most powerful women in the world.

When Shirley finished her ambitious inaugural speech amid applause, Daniel Zhang, who had not appeared for a while, came, touched the glass with Li Jiaming, who was socializing, with a wine glass, and said in an old family accent with a water accent: "Jiaming, say two sentences?" ”

It is estimated that there is nothing good to talk about on this occasion, Li Jiaming raised his glass to the colleagues next to him, and said in a low voice: "Speak."

"I want to ask Marissa to come to my side, can you let her go?"

Kyle is leaving, and the person he picked up wants to leave? Li Jiaming expected that after the introduction of the elimination system, many people would definitely choose to leave, but he didn't expect that she would be the first to leave.

"You go to talk to her yourself, why are you looking for me?"

"Jiaming, if you don't agree, you won't dare to come here to dig a corner if you lend me the guts."

Interesting, it seems that his fellow is also slippery, Li Jiaming said with a smile: "The sky is going to rain, my mother is going to get married, I can still manage these things?" ”

"You're not angry?"

It's useless to be angry, people want to leave, can they still be forced to stay?

"You're underestimating people, she's gone just to make room for us."

This could not be heard like this, and when the people next to him dispersed, Daniel Zhang smiled bitterly: "Jiaming, in fact, I wanted to invite her over three months ago, but she couldn't make up her mind." It was only now that she had the opportunity to decide to go over to my side.

She said that those of them who are employees don't really care about whether the salary is higher or lower, and they are most afraid that there is no way to rise. She has done it in Hanhua, it may be better to change the environment, and it is better to give the people below her a chance. ”

Perhaps, or even more, people want to leave, but the new boss does not dare to offend the old boss, for fear that his connections in Hanhua will be ruined. Now Hanhua is a towering tree, and many monkeys, orangutans or birds like to stop even if they can't live here.

"Understand, I have told them a long time ago, don't take the company as their home, and the company can't bear their sense of belonging; It is necessary to regard the company as a place to learn and improve, as long as they can be improved, it will be in vain to work in the company for so many years. ”

This was said beautifully, and Daniel Zhang said sincerely: "Jiaming, thank you." ”

Not to mention, Marisa has relied on her own efforts to get to where she is today, and everything she has obtained is what she deserves; Moreover, Li Jiaming did not believe that Marisa would feel guilty, everything was that Daniel Zhang was afraid of offending himself, and he was reluctant to be a powerful man in the future.

"Do it well, I still have 8% of your shares!"

"Hehe, it must be", Daniel Zhang, who was relieved, agreed repeatedly, completely without his usual casualness. Hanhua is at its peak, but the CEO voluntarily leaves, even if Daniel Zhang no longer wants to think in that direction, he will unconsciously think like that.

Old friends and entrepreneurial partners for more than ten years have ended up like this, let alone a fellow countryman?

This kind of thing can't be explained, the more you explain, the more troublesome it becomes, Li Jiaming didn't bother to explain, the two touched the cup and went straight to Kyle. But Kyle had some idea, but it was the co-founder of the company, a decorated veteran, and he always had to be very decent.

If you want to say that Americans are also realistic, they usually have a party or something, and there is always a large circle of people around Kyle, and the circle of people gathered next to Shirley just after his farewell speech today, and there are only three or two kittens and puppies left next to the former prom celebrities. Li Jiaming casually gave the empty glass to the waiter, brought a new glass of champagne, walked to his old friend with different looks, and quipped in Chinese with his shoulder: "Kyle, are you used to it?" ”

'Hehe' a few times, and Kyle, who seemed to be much more relaxed, also said in accented Chinese: "Ming, we are actors, we want to separate performance from life." ”

really printed that sentence, serving other people's bowls and serving others, not superiors and subordinates, with bones in their words, this is just like the original Kyle.

After laughing a few times, Li Jiaming wrapped his shoulders tighter, raised his glass and looked around and smiled, "So I'd rather stay in the school and teach than come to manage the company, because I'm afraid that I will perform too hard and forget who I am." ”

"Really?"

"Really, the one who teaches is the real me."

Perhaps, Kyle touched the glass with this old friend he couldn't see through, and sighed: "Ming, in fact, this is also the life I want, but I don't know if I can get used to it." ”

won't get used to it, the bigger the shot, the more desire to perform, not to mention that this guy is not old. I just don't know which company he will be the CEO of the next time we meet, or the chairman and CEO of a new company. However, Li Jiaming believes that without himself, even if he can succeed, he cannot be compared to Hanhua.
