Chapter 424: An Unexpected Ending (Part II)
There is no suspense about the new CEO of Hanhua, and at the board meeting chaired by Li Jiaming, COO Shirley Sandberg took over as CEO completely expected. Updates are fast and ad-free.
This former woman in Washington, D.C., was a managerial and ambitious woman who joined the U.S. branch of GCA at the time, HH, and soon became the head of the iTuore website. At the beginning of 06, Shirley, with the support of Li Jiaming, bought the troubled YouTube at the time for a sky-high price of $620 million. Years later, iTuube's market capitalization has broken through the $60 billion mark.
Shirley left iTuore to join the parent company Hanhua, and soon became Kyle's right-hand man, not only managing the company in an orderly manner, but also planning beautiful marketing projects again and again, and making great contributions to the establishment of iPhone's supremacy in the smartphone field.
The transfer of power is also very smooth, with Li Jiaming, the soul of the person, in charge, and the whole handover process is not alarming.
It's just that, out of respect for the co-founder, Li Jiaming changed Shirley's C0O room to the CEO room; The original CEO's office became the board office, and Kyle still sits in his old office, but the nameplate became a director.
And then?
Then, Shirley, who accepted the offer, went to prepare her inaugural speech, Kyle, who resigned as CEO, was also preparing his farewell speech, and Li Jiaming, who presided over the board meeting, went to Kyle.
Why?
This time, it was indeed Li Jiaming who deliberately bypassed Kyle, but it was not enough to make this old guy so desperate. Power is an aphrodisiac, although Li Jiaming controls the company's decision-making power and major personnel power, but he also gives all the management rights to Kyle, and never asks about personnel movements below the top. If one person is above 100,000 people, and he has cut some face, he will pick a child?
Li Jiaming didn't believe that if Kyle had only had this psychological endurance, he would have been trampled to death as early as IBM. Puzzled, Li Jiaming knocked on the heavy oak door, Kyle was sitting behind his desk writing something, and the table that was usually framed was empty.
βKyleβ
Kyle, who had a bad complexion, looked up, quickly got up and turned out from behind the table, and said with a smile: "Ming, are you here to comfort me?" β
Just cut off the authority of others, Li Jiaming still laughed, and said with a smile: "Hehe, do you need my comfort?" β
"yes, tea? Coffee? Or water? β
"Coffee Bar"
"Ok", Kyle, who smiled a little ugly, poured two cups of coffee, the cups were fine Lenox bone china cups, thin as cicada wings and crystal clear, but not as warm as porcelain like jade.
Playing with the exquisite but slightly astringent bone china cup, Li Jiaming did not mean to drink this top-quality Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, and played with the taste: "Kyle, I don't like bone china, it is like the difference between a quartz watch and a mechanical watch compared to porcelain." β
"I agree"
Kyle, who had begun to look normal, shrugged his shoulders and sat down on the calfskin couch in agreement, "The difference between crafts and works of art is like I'm just a manager, and you're a great genius." β
"Why?"
Facing Li Jiaming's single knife straight in, Kyle leaned back after being stunned for a moment, and said coldly: "Ming, I don't want to lie." β
Li Jiaming's face also turned cold, and his words revealed a chill: "I don't respect you enough? β
"Does His Majesty need to respect the Prime Minister?"
That's the most unlikely reason, Li Jiaming suddenly felt funny, put down the bone china cup in his hand and got up and said, "Kyle, you disappointed me too much." β
"Perhaps", Kyle also got up, picking up a letter of resignation from his desk, which was a letter of resignation from the board of directors.
has a proud backbone, but I didn't expect to compromise on myself for more than ten years, and now I finally have a strong head. Li Jiaming smiled, also walked to the desk, picked up the pen and signed, and mocked: "Where are you going?" β
"I'm going to buy a boat to catch shrimp."
Kyle took the resignation letter, pressed a bunch of keys against the desk, bent down to pick up the personal belongings that had been packed from under the desk, and politely said, "Goodbye".
has a demeanor, Li Jiaming is also very personable and said: "Good luck."
However, after Kyle walked into the elevator with a stunned gaze outside the office, Li Jiaming, who had a smile on his face, was so angry that he wanted to curse.
What is this?
Can a soldier be killed, but not humiliated?
If he Kyle wants to have this backbone, I don't know how many times he has quarreled with himself! , you've made enough money, you've made enough fame, and you want to get off the boat!
Okay, get off the boat, get off the boat, leave the butcher Zhang, can you still eat hairy pigs?
Li Jiaming, who had a smile on his face, walked unhurriedly to the elevator entrance, turned around and waved to the beautiful clerk closest to him, glanced at her badge and ordered: "Suzie, keep Kyle's office as it is, and put something commemorative on it, which will be used as a stop for induction training in the future." β
βYes/bossβ
"Well, I just discussed with Kyle, and when it's convenient for him, the company will arrange for him to give a farewell speech. Yes, put Shirley's inaugural speech with him. β
βYes/bossβ
After explaining some etiquette, Li Jiaming returned to the office, sat on a bamboo and rattan chair on the balcony, and looked at the tall buildings in the distance in a daze.
Why?
Just now, Li Jiaming thought that Kyle was a retirement after becoming famous, but after calming down, the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. People who are used to holding power are at the right age of fifty-six, how can Kyle think about retirement?
Dignity?
That thing is called face, and who would take that thing seriously if someone can climb to this level?
Can't figure it out!
Li Jiaming can't figure it out, and others can't figure it out. An old subordinate didn't dare to touch the mold, but someone dared to ask Kyle, such as Wang Zhidong, who was also an old buddy with Li Jiaming.
Hanhua claims to have three carriages, with Li Jiaming in charge of strategy, Kyle in charge of business management, and Wang Zhidong in charge of a relatively independent research institute. Whenever Li Jiaming has an important decision, he will communicate with the two of them, but this time he only communicated with Wang Zhidong, but he did not inform Kyle, let alone announce it in the name of the CEO's office, why?
In the view of the relatively kind Wang Zhidong, everyone has always cooperated very well, and there is no dirty precursor, how can this suddenly happen? After thinking about it, he felt that maybe Kyle had misunderstood, and this might be Li Jiaming's initiative to take responsibility, so as not to make the CEO's job difficult.
Sitting in his own study, watching his old friend excuse people like this, Kyle, who was serving coffee, couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he couldn't say anything about Li Jiaming. Even if Li Jiaming wants to purge the high-level and use him first to operate, he must not show any dissatisfaction, and he himself is also resigned.
Over the years, in order to establish the company's image and marketing needs, the public relations department has spared no effort to promote the brightness and greatness of Li Jiaming. But what's actually going on, can they, the core layer, have no points in their hearts?
Can't say!
Anyway, it will harm everyone's interests, including Kyle's own interests! Especially these people who only have technology in their minds, if they see the other side of Li Jiaming, the statue will collapse without saying anything, and it will also cause internal instability.
"Dong, things are not what you imagined, in fact, I have long wanted to retire, and I have already said hello to Ming."
Kyle, who was upset, finished handing over the coffee, stroked his half-bald head with his hand, and laughed at himself: "Dong, in your words, my head is called the local support center, right?" For twelve years, I slept only five hours a day, and even the machine was almost worn out. While my body is still in trouble, I want to retire and recuperate and enjoy life with my family. β
"Really?"
Looking at Kyle, who was already old, Wang Zhidong, who was not much younger than him, suddenly remembered the IBM president who liked to go to nightclubs, and couldn't help but sigh that the years were fleeting.
