Unlike old friends like Yang Zhiyuan who can fall out for the sake of profit, Li Jiaming and Kyle are not only old friends, but also old buddies, and their fundamental interests are completely identical. However, even if the fundamental interests are completely identical, the views and concepts of the two men will be at odds.

For so many years, although Kyle has been shrouded in the aura of Li Jiaming, and the world only knows that there is China Ming but does not know that there is Kyle, Li Jiaming knows how important this old fellow is to him and to Hanhua. Without Kyle, Lee Ka Ming and Han Hua would have succeeded, but they would not have reached today's heights, and would have been quickly surpassed by their competitors, and would have even been killed by the HSD politicians.

This is definitely not an exaggeration, as long as you look at how many detours Sony and Toyota have taken to internationalize and how much time it has taken, and then compare the rapid success of HH with the later name of Hanhua, you can know how much American executives led by Kyle have contributed to Hanhua. It is for this reason that although the headquarters of Hanhua is still in Beiping, it is already more symbolic than practical.

However, with the success of Hanhua, it also confirms Li Jiaming's sentence back then, successful professionals will not take the company as their own. As GCA established its supremacy in the smartphone space, Kyle's mindset changed from the passion to make the company greater, and instead of pushing the company's stock price higher to increase the value of their shares.

This change is understandable, no one is a saint and wants to increase their wealth. However, this change is resisted by Li Jiaming, the chief, like all emperors, who can be poor and luxurious, but he wants his subordinates to be honest and honest.

It's just that Li Jiaming doesn't have the power of the emperors who don't allow the people to light lamps, and he knows that some things can't be suppressed by suppression, and he also needs these subordinates to contribute to his country. Unable to convince him, Li Jiaming asked the opinions of others in the company, especially those American executives. Like Wang Zhidong and Ren Yanpin, those who are addicted to technology, and they all grew up singing 'The sun rises on Tiananmen Square', and they will have a capital complex in their hearts, and they are probably contradictory.

Although Kyle can speak fluent Chinese, he is not Chinese after all, and it is easy for Li Jiaming to speak out, which also makes him even more disappointed. With the exception of Marisa, almost all of the American executives not only wanted to monetize the inflated headquarters assets, but also believed that the company should diversify. In an era when the social division of labor is becoming more and more refined, a high-tech company does not want to develop new technologies but wants to diversify its operations.

If you purge just because they don't agree with your own ideas, then your boss will be too much of a failure.

The sea is inclusive, and there are channels.

In the middle of a deep groan, Li Jiaming handed over a cup of tea, pretending to be puzzled: "Kyle, this matter seems to be a problem of the relocation of the research institute, but in fact, it is still a question of whether the company wants to diversify." Isn't it enough that our company is not diversified, but we have been making other investments?"

Although the question was cleverly asked, it still surprised Kyle, Li Jiaming is a Ph.D. in economics and the dean of the Chiba University Business School, can he not be clear about such a question? There is only one explanation, that is, Li Jiaming will be wrong, thinking that he is trying to diversify the company and deviate from the general direction of the company's focus on technology research and development.

No wonder Kyle is suspicious, Hanhua seems to implement the CEO responsibility system, but the essence is the chairman responsibility system. Li Jiaming only gave him the right to operate and manage and had no decision-making power, otherwise Kyle would not have come to Li Jiaming to discuss or report on the move of some technical personnel out of Beiping to move fixed assets like this.

The two have worked together for many years, and Kyle knows the Li family very well and knows the other party's desire to control under decentralization. Although he is the co-founder and majority shareholder of the company, it is difficult to say that his position today will not be replaced by someone else if he is at odds with him in terms of strategic direction. Thinking of this, Kyle hurriedly explained, "Boss, you misunderstood. We chose Xunyang because we wanted to integrate research, production and marketing, and realize that those inflated assets were just side products. ”

Changing from calling his name to Boss, it means that Kyle is making a statement, and this kind of statement in order to be consistent with the boss makes Li Jiaming, the boss, even more disappointed. He would rather Kyle be like Hanwha when he was just starting out, arguing with him over some differences of opinion, rather than this old fellow becoming an echo worm.

Li Jiaming can use his memory to point out the correct direction of development for the company, but when his memory does not match reality, he needs someone like Kyle to help him analyze and judge, rather than he is no longer arbitrary and alone.

Holding a small teacup as white as jade in his hand, he was silent for a long time, Li Jiaming stared at Kyle's gray eyes and said seriously: "Kyle, you and me, Wang Zhidong are all different from Shirley, Hanhua was founded, developed, and successful by us, and it is not an exaggeration to compare it to our children." I admit that in the face of the power of capital, anyone is weak, but you have to believe that Hanhua is controlled by us.

Do you see what I mean?"

Understand that this is a reminder to yourself that the power structure of GCA is very solid and does not need to consider short-term interests like other listed companies.

But how can it be that simple?

Kyle couldn't help but smile bitterly and explained: "Ming, our core layer is indeed very stable, but we also need the team's, and we can't harm the interests of the team members. Our company is successful and has a high share price, but who doesn't want it to be even higher?"

It is basic human nature to dare to take any risk when starting a business, and to be conservative after success. A very important reason why Li Jiaming dismissed the idea of cleaning the top management is also based on this, he himself has financialized his assets, let alone others?

He thought that Hanhua would continue to focus on technology, while his subordinates wanted to multiply assets rapidly, and even wanted to maximize their interests before Hanhua became a second Nokia. After a company is successful, why do so many people choose to leave? It is because everyone's interests are not aligned, perhaps it is said that the people's hearts are not aligned, especially those subordinates who hold stocks and have no hope of promotion, they will think that the company's stock price will be realized when it reaches its peak, and then resign to pursue the highest achievements.

It is not easy to share hardships and hardships, and it is also difficult to share prosperity.

There is only one solution, so that the subordinates can see the hope of Hanhua's rapid development again, and make them firmly believe that Hanhua can be more successful and greater, but how difficult is this?

Although the company has made some breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, but they are all some of the most basic applications, and they are still in the stage of how much artificial intelligence there is, how to make everyone believe that Hanhua can also stand alone in the future? The technical barriers in the high-tech field are indeed high, but the industry barriers are too low, as long as the competitors make a breakthrough in a certain technology, it is likely to overturn the former hegemon to the ground. There are too many such cases when Apple overturned Wang An, Nokia overturned Motorola, and Hanhua trampled Nokia to death.

Don't talk about those subordinates, even Li Jiaming, who vigorously promoted those projects, didn't have much bottom in his heart, because it was an uncertain future.
