Chapter 141: The Boss's Life (2)

The news that an executive of a Fortune 500 company has entered a small company as CEO is too unexpected and newsworthy.

Not to mention the surprise of Lifang and a group of employees of Hanhua, even the downstairs were very curious. Editor-in-chief Chen Tong even sent two social news reporters to stay at the front desk, just to inquire about some eyebrows, so that they could report it as soon as possible and earn millions of clicks.

It's a pity that Sun Yun's painful lesson is still there, and the new front desk lady doesn't dare to talk nonsense or reveal some inside stories. Just told these two new friends downstairs that the president of IBM (Huaguo) did come to the company to work, and he was the CEO of Hanhua Technology.

Then you have to wait, political and economic news is not as good as entertainment news, it is not okay to come to the paparazzi, I heard that it is still one of the shareholders of Lifang. If the interests of the company are harmed, Gu Laosan will be able to eat himself without Boss Zhang and Li Lao Er coming forward.

In fact, it's really not that evil.,The research and development of digital portable MP3 is nearing completion.,KLE who is busy working on music websites in the United States is here to see the sample.。 Of course, he also brought back half-good and half-bad news - the lawsuit in the United States is over, and Diamond has won.

Diamond's victory prompted the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) member record companies to quickly lobby for congressional legislation. Traditionally, manufacturers don't have to worry about copyright issues even if the law is enacted, and at the same time, KLE's music website faces the problem of licensing, and almost all record companies refuse to authorize.

In addition, KLE also brought back a bad news that Li Jiaming thinks, Apple is also preparing to develop a portable multi-function digital multimedia player. I can't find out the specifics, but Mr. Jobs said in a television interview that it would be an epoch-making product.

Nothing, isn't it just an iPod? Even if Lao Tzu failed in research and development, he still applied for nearly 100 patents, and he fully agreed, and he applied for too many patents by hand, and he could not imagine that others could completely bypass them.

Klee, who has worked at IBM for ten years, listened carefully to Ren Yanpin's report, and checked the samples and design plans, but could only show a helpless look at Li Jiaming.

There is not much hope, Ren Yanpin racked their brains, and they could not solve the problem of disconnection between design and realistic technical conditions. But it is not for nothing, they have screened out the best design, combination, as long as there is a better performance chip or lithium battery, the company's research and development of digital portable MP3 can immediately produce new samples, and strive to put it on the market in the shortest possible time.

"OK, continue to improve the design scheme, further streamline the operating software, minimize power consumption, and use the battery more efficiently. Gentlemen, we have to believe in the power of technology, and a new generation of chips and lithium batteries will be available soon. ”

With a few words of encouragement, kle, who has rich management experience, took out a stack of technical materials from his briefcase and distributed them to Ren Yanpin and Wang Zhidong.

Although this old boy studied in business school, the experience of working at IBM made it instinctive to value the concept of technology. In the United States, in addition to being busy building a music website, KLE has also been refining Lee's 'creativity'. The information distributed to Ren Yanpin and Wang Zhidong is about the development of new technologies and new products such as liquid crystal displays, resistive touch screens, and capacitive touch screens.

Li Jiaming, who was sitting next to him drinking tea, was very satisfied, a professional manager like kle is of high quality, as long as he gives a strategic direction, he can take into account all aspects, and advance in an orderly manner.

After assigning the new work tasks, Wang Zhidong and Ren Yanpin went to work separately, and Klee, who had just gotten off the plane not long ago, also complained to Li Jiaming. The success of the China Online Listing is certainly not far off, and this guy will become a billionaire overnight. His stake in GCA Technology is non-dilutable, that is, if Li Jiaming can invest more, the faster the wealth on his books will appreciate, and the company will succeed faster.

Of course, the sample thrown on the coffee table, in the eyes of a professional manager like kle, is not only not a defective product, but a bombshell that has collapsed 00. Apple's portable digital music player may shine and may be a formidable competitor to the company in the future, but that's a year or two away. The top priority is to get rid of the Diamond company first, step on the bones of the Diamond company, and announce to everyone the rise of Hanhua Technology in the field of digital music players.

In his previous life, Li Jiaming was engaged in illegal business and real estate, and he knew nothing about electronic products, and although he also bought high-end goods such as iPods after making money, how could he pay attention to how these things were produced and marketed? Now hearing what KLE said, Li Jiaming picked up the defective products on the coffee table and said suspiciously: "KLE, do you mean that it has production value?"

"Of course, although it didn't live up to our expectations, it was much better than Diamond's 00 and would be very competitive in price. ”

As soon as he heard the price, Li Jiaming immediately vetoed: "No, our products must not be lower than 00!"

"Of course, the retail price has to be as expensive as it, but the wholesale price can be cheaper and let the retailer market it for us. ”

It makes sense, Li Jiaming is as good as a stream, and said with a bad taste: "OK, let's call it iPod." ”

What does ipod mean? Klee immediately remembered the naming of Apple's iMac, and wondered, "Boss, this name is a bit like Apple's habit of naming names, why do you have this idea?"

I don't know if Apple took this name, but Li Jiaming wants to know what name Qiao Da will take after he snatches this name.

"Salute, I want to pay tribute to Steve Jobs with this name. ”

It's certainly not a bullshit tribute, but a declaration of war on Jobs and Apple, the kid and Charles downstairs are aggressive. However, this name is not bad, Kle pondered for a while, and agreed: "OK, then call it iPod, what about the company name? With all due respect, the name of Hanhua Electronics is too national, which is not conducive to taking root in Europe and the United States." ”

, aren't Sony, Panasonic, and Toshiba all standard Japanese names? The unwilling Li Jiaming pondered for a long time and said quietly: "What do you suggest?"

Kle has worked in China for four or five years, and knows that the Chinese attach great importance to choosing names, so how can he take on this thankless job?

It's good to know, a good name is good for product marketing, but the key is to have a good product. When Apple was first founded, it was ridiculed as a fruit seller, and Li Jiaming, who was smiling, got up from the desk drawer and took out the advertising idea that took a little effort to inspire Xiaomei to draw and handed it to him. However, when the words came to his lips, Li Jiaming adopted the other party's opinion again. People are authentic Americans, how to promote, sales must be better than their own, if you want to succeed, you have to let professional people do professional things, I don't know the situation of a Chinese blind command.

"OK, the slogan is 'Hi, Hear', the company name is also 'Hi, Hear', and the English abbreviation is HH".

Wow, dancing with the silhouette of a character, imagining a black background highlighting white, a sexy beauty or a sturdy handsome guy wearing an iPod, dancing wildly to the sound of music, suddenly excited: "Cool!"

Klee, who was very satisfied with the advertising idea, praised it, and took the opportunity to entrainment private goods and said: "Boss, now we have two questions, NO.1: You must convince, use the influence of AHOO founders and spiritual leaders to invite major media to participate in our product launch; NO.2: Find the best OEM factory, you must be able to produce finished products as soon as possible after the product is finalized." ”

That's right, but what about the design?

"Okay, you have to go and help me find the best product shape designer right away, so that our product can be a work of art, not just an electronic product. ”

“ok”

No, he is the boss, Li Jiaming, who came back to his senses, immediately reminded: "Kle, you are the CEO of Hanhua Technology, these are your jobs!"

As soon as the words came out, Li Jiaming knew what this white orangutan meant, and said with a smile: "Klee, I have prepared 20 million US dollars for you." I don't care how you use it, but I want to see the results I want. If I succeed, I will fulfill my original promise, and if I fail, then I don't need to say any more, right?"

"Okay, I'll do all of this, as long as you inject another $20 million. ”

KLE Daxi, whose book assets have tripled, is not because of the skyrocketing position and book assets, but because of the abundance of funds. The things on the books don't make much sense, and only when the company succeeds can the assets on his books make sense. And the new injection of 20 million US dollars can make the company quickly succeed, in this world, there is no money to do. However, as the future CEO and director of GCA Technology, KLE also reminded Li Jiaming that there are problems with the integration of network companies now, and there is a bit of incompatibility between new employees and old employees.

It is indeed a little incompatible, but Li Jiaming believes in Ma Huateng's ability and the company system he formulated.

"No problem, believe in E's ability. ”
