Chapter 179: Killing the Chicken and Showing the Monkey

Xu Teng is a little prince in the flickering world, in a meeting in the conference room, no one is allowed to speak, no one is allowed to question him, and he must open his brain to accept new ideas - why others can make money, you can't.

He stood on the podium in the conference room, looking down at every executive with an extremely good background, and told them a story, once upon a time, there was a little boy, he dreamed of building a road, from Weixian to Guangzhou, during the day at school, at night to sleep next to his parents, along the way there was good food, fun.

Of course, these are all deceitful to them, to gain sympathy.

"Dreams are important, and someone named this company Tencent, hoping that one day I will take over, let me run it in my own way, and let me grow with this company named after me. It was his dream. ”

Xu Teng stepped off the podium, sat on the edge of the oval conference table, held a glass of Hennessy VSOP with ice cubes, and was not in a hurry to take a sip to moisten his throat, his eyes swept around everyone, "I have my dream, this company is my ball, every employee of the company is my invited guest, learn and grow in this ball, and in the end, all of us want to dance together, do one, two, or even ten real big things." I'm not talking about listing, I'm talking about the big thing like the first in the country and the first in the world. I say this kind of big thing that we can serve everybody across the country, across the globe. ”

"Everybody is afraid of death, if an employee is afraid of flying, one day, when he has to fly, he thinks, okay, let's die, I've worked in a company like Tencent, it's good, my dream has come true." ”

Xu Teng finally got down to business, "So, don't talk about boring topics such as networking, communication, software, and hardware, because as long as we are willing, we can be the first in every field, and if we can't do it, we will find ways and think of various ways." Only then can we do one, two, or even ten really big things. ”

Very good.

Xu Teng looked over at a glance and found that the most excited were the two academicians, Tang Jun and Yang Fuyou...... Yang Fuyou has been very excited recently, which is quite normal, and the key is that Liu Zhiping, the managing director and senior executive president, is a little cold.

He knows that it's bad, this Liu Zhiping has to be taken away, this person has been working in the investment bank for a long time, he really has no ideals, he fools people every day, and it is difficult to be fooled.

How can you fool if you don't have ideals?

How can you do things well without flickering in place?

Xu Teng thought about it again, understood, the surname Liu really thought that he was a student, as long as Tencent was dismantled and kicked out of the two respected old academicians, and the network industry was listed separately, the surname Liu could manage the company according to his own wishes, which was the second of Vanke Wang.

The wage earner actually wants to be the emperor and wants to set up the capital side, no wonder the ass sits so crookedly, and ******** supports the Internet faction.

Xu Teng's judgment is based on evidence, he has dealt with investment bank executives very frequently this year, and I really feel that whether it is IDG's President Xiong or AIG's Sister Sha, what he says is so cool, and his heart is all about seeking money.

Mr. Xu brought this Liu Zhiping over, the goal is to go public, and the other party is indeed very capable, and he has done a lot of big cases during his tenure as executive general manager of Goldman Sachs' Asian investment department.

Mr. Xu never thought that he couldn't fool people, and Xu Teng couldn't fool him.

Xu Teng thought clearly in an instant, snapped his fingers, and asked Han Dai, who was accompanying him in the conference room, to come over and send a stack of Devoni blue stationery to everyone.

"Come, each of us write the most important dream in our hearts, and give it to me, and I will let you know one of my dreams later. Xu Teng was finally very excited about the trouble, Academician Ni let go, he sat in the chairman's position, took out his hero pen, and wrote very seriously.

Academician Ni has a very good feeling about Xu Teng, very idealistic, it is estimated that he is similar to Mr. Xu, willing to do big things, make chips, make operating systems, and give up his seat is also very refreshing, anyway, he is not the real chairman, just a false name.

In Tencent's articles of association, there is a problem with the design of the chairman's position, in fact, two managing directors have dispersed the chairman's powers, and now Xu Teng, the vice chairman, has been added.

Xu Teng continued to snap his fingers, and asked Han Dai to order the waiter to come in, pour everyone a glass of Hennessy cognac, let everyone relax, and tell him all the little secrets.

"To be the happiest man on the planet, to have the best parents, the best wife, the best colleagues, the best career, life is very happy, career is very happy, everything must be done beautifully, make the impossible possible, make colleagues happy, and make opponents collapse!" Xu Teng's dream was a little scary, he wrote it quickly, copied a copy, and finally signed the name and date, and passed it from both sides of the conference table.

Everyone laughed after reading it, and they could accept it, after all, Xu Teng was very young and vigorous, and if he thought about it carefully, he also felt that he had the capital to say such an arrogant dream.

A few minutes later, everyone's ideals were written and sent to Xu Teng for Xu Teng to read them one by one.

It's basically Xu Teng's model, but it's a little more universal, the two academicians are more exaggerated, and they both talk about patriotism and dedication, no wonder they can be fooled by Mr. Xu.

Xu Teng deliberately carefully analyzed this page of Liu Zhiping several times, and really felt very hypocritical, he was brainwashed by the theory of Goldman Sachs and the Americans, wrong, using the theory of Goldman Sachs and the Americans to brainwash others, in fact, he wanted money and power in his heart.

"First of all, I have to say that the ideals of the two academicians are really great, and as a reward, my dream paper was framed and given to the two old-timers as prizes. Xu Teng looked at each executive with a smile, signaled everyone to be enthusiastic, and congratulated the old man with the warmest applause.

The applause soon thundered.

Playing games, everyone is still very happy, the most important thing is that Tencent is about to go public, and there are a lot of allotments here, which is a lot of Hong Kong dollars.

"Secondly, I have to say a tragic thing, President Liu Zhiping, after careful evaluation, I think you can't carry out my orders. Xu Teng just made everyone happy, and then scared everyone into a collapse, "According to the company's articles of association, I can't manage the company's senior management, but as the vice chairman, I have the right to ask the board of directors to vote to dismiss the managing director and senior chief executive." In addition to President Liu Zhiping and me, the other six directors present here, please vote...... Oh, one less Fortune International's Carrie Me, whose voting rights are with me. ”

After the merger of Tencent and Tiantian, the board of directors of the new Tencent has seven seats, including Chairman Academician Ni, Vice Chairman Xu Teng, Executive Director Liu Zhiping, Managing Director Mei Jiali, and the other three directors are Academician Wu, Tang Jun and Yang Fuyou.

There is no need to vote at all.

Even if Xu Teng and Liu Zhiping's two votes are removed, and Xu Teng directly controls one vote of the other five votes, Tang Jun and Yang Fuyou will not be able to oppose it.

Academician Ni was surprised and asked Xu Teng, "Vice Chairman Xu, if you want us to vote, we must first explain the reasons clearly, right?"

"The reason is very simple, I want to be a technical company, a great company that can not only print money, but also realize dreams, this President Liu Zhiping is too realistic, he thinks that he is a trusted minister of my father, and he can be a teacher for me in the field of business management, I can't control it at all. ”

Xu Teng drank wine, shrugged his shoulders, and pouted with Liu Zhiping, "I'm sorry, you have to go to my father for a job." Now it's all ****** here, only you are the emperor's party, and you want to consider yourself the prince and the prince. I want everyone to talk about their dreams, this is a game of telling the truth, you trust me, or you are willing to trust me, or you have to trust me, you will tell the truth, even if you are playing games with everyone, saying a dream that seems real and childlike to make everyone happy, that's okay. You, and a few other people actually fooled me with the set of things from Goldman Sachs and Da Mo, when I haven't studied these?"

"Of course, you may have been brainwashed, but that is even more inappropriate to stay with me, because my Tencent has a new set of theories, and the things in your brain are too rigid, so I can't inculcate them. ”

"I don't have to vote, since the vice chairman thinks I'm not suitable, then I'll submit my resignation myself. "Liu Zhiping still wants to save face, it was Mr. Xu's sincere high salary and high authorization that poached him from Goldman Sachs, and now Mr. Xu's son has taken over the company, saying that he is not suitable, and he can't argue with the other party.

He feels that he has credit, and it is under his leadership that Tencent has locked in the first place in Asia in the IM market in one fell swoop, and even in Latin America to maintain the first place, and the architecture design work in search, online shopping, and e-commerce has advanced very rapidly, and the game industry has grown from scratch.

There was a commotion in the conference room.

Liu Zhiping feels that he has merit, and the executives of the Internet faction basically feel the same.

Xu Teng didn't care about these small riots, quietly and elegantly tasted fine wine, and waited for Liu Zhiping to take the initiative to withdraw from the conference room, he put down the wine glass, and explained in more detail to Academician Ni beside him, "In fact, during this time, I have carefully studied, President Liu Zhiping does have a lot of credit, but these credits are also the result of the cooperation of the entire network business department, I am changing Yang Fuyou to his position, and I can do this step in two years." The problem is that in the past two years, Tencent's communication business has slipped from 1/3 of Huawei to 1/5, and the year he took office, our family also deliberately gave another 700 million additional investment. When I carefully evaluate the R&D expenditure, Tencent's R&D expenditure in 2001 and 2002 barely increased compared to 2000, while Huawei's R&D expenditure increased by 1.7 times compared to 2000 during the same period. ”

Academician Ni nodded silently, the network faction did not have an advantage in the past, after all, it has always relied on the profits of the communication faction to support its development, and it is only in the past two years that it has suddenly become overwhelmingly strong and requires to be divided into two companies.

"I'm very objective......" Xu Teng looked at everyone, "He is your head, this time he is the one who bears the blame for you, because this mistake was made by you collectively, and someone must come out to take responsibility, otherwise, the decline of the communication division cannot be reversed at all." None of you feel that you are at fault, so how can you correct your mistakes? Starting today, the main part of the communications division will be dismantled and a wholly owned subsidiary will be set up to operate independently, but I would like to emphasize here that this is by no means the network faction that you think has won and the communications faction has lost. ”

There was silence in the conference room, some worried, some happy.

The dispute between the communication faction and the network faction within Tencent cannot be resolved because Xu Teng participated in a meeting, and people are still very realistic, which involves issues such as resource allocation, income, and share allotment.

Any company, large enough to have this kind of problem.

Xu Teng must now find a new president, preferably completely unrelated to these two factions, who can carry out his decisions and not disappoint neither the communications faction nor the network faction.

"You have two choices......" Xu Teng thought about it carefully and decided to give these executives present a chance, he glanced at it and confirmed that the previous decision to dismiss Liu Zhiping was correct.

No one dares to question his choice, whether it is wrong or right, he is the boss.

"First, you tell me which company to go to, which person to hire as president is the best choice, and second, you vote for yourself to choose the most suitable person in your heart, if you fail to meet my requirements within two years, he is out, and I will use these two years to find a suitable replacement, take over at any time. "Xu Teng's strategy is as scary as ever.

The thirteen executives present finally found that what Xu Teng said before was nonsense, "make colleagues happy and make opponents urine", and it was obviously "let colleagues urinate and make opponents urinate".

Xu Teng is playing with them today, they are afraid of playing, obedient, and it is worth sacrificing a managing director of Liu Zhiping.

Everyone chooses the second one, and each person takes a piece of paper and writes the most suitable candidate for the position of managing director and senior CEO, and each person can write three names.

The top three candidates are roughly two people, one is Shi Lirong, who was born in ZTE and joined Tencent Group in 98, and the other is Tang Jun, but their votes are not as high as Yang Fuyou's total - the executives think about it, and they still think that it is more prudent to simply choose Xu Teng's lineage.

"Mr. Yang is still in charge of the business of Tiantian Company. "Xu Teng directly chopped this possibility," Shi Lirong is the company's director and executive president of Guangzhou Tencent Communication Technology Co., Ltd., and Tang Jun is the company's managing director and senior executive president of Tencent. The distribution of duties and powers is very simple, Mr. Shi must ensure Tencent's breakthrough in the GSM business, and it is okay to give up CDMA. Mr. Tang is responsible for coordinating the Network Information Division and the Communication Division, and a bowl of water must be flat. Finally, if the name is not right, it is not good, from today on, I will directly serve as the chairman, Ni Lao, sorry, I want to wronged you as the vice chairman. ”

"It's okay, this is your company, you have the final say. Academician Ni didn't care about the position of chairman, because it was a fictitious title, and Mr. Xu was unwilling to expose it, so he asked him to serve as the chairman, using his fame to recruit talents and promote the company.

"After drinking the wine in the glass, suppressing the shock, today's meeting can be over, rest assured, I don't get so scary every day. Xu Teng first drank the wine in the cup, got up and left with a smile.

Academician Ni didn't speak, look at everyone, the implication is that he is happy now, he has to squeeze the communication division out of the game, and as a result, Liu Zhiping, the leader of your network faction, is squeezed out.

Mr. Xu has not had time to really manage Tencent for a long time, so this company has been in a chaotic situation where there are no tigers in the mountains and monkeys are the kings.

Xu Teng discovered this problem very early, but he didn't pay attention to it, because Liu Zhiping's level is very high, and he adopts a very Silicon Valley-style foreign investment management model, and all business divisions of the network industry are also well-organized and fast.

Shi Lirong, president of the communications division, has a management style between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, and the relationship with Liu Zhiping seems to be good.

Today is really Liu Zhiping's bad luck, if he doesn't force the palace and maintain the status quo until it is listed, Xu Teng can drag it first, observe step by step, slowly adjust the company's internal problems, and resolve the dispute between the soft and hard factions.

In this case, Xu Teng couldn't make the mistake of eliminating the meritorious Liu Zhiping.

Xu Teng returned to his office, thought about it, made a new pot of tea, and asked Tang Jun, Shi Lirong, and Yang Fuyou to call over and continue to talk about the company's structure alone.

There are still many contradictions within Tencent.

Xu Teng got Liu Zhiping away, Tang Jun alone may not be able to control the overall situation, not to mention that Tang Jun may not be really suitable for this position, and he needs a process of self-learning and progress, so he simply temporarily adjusted the company's structural design.

According to Xu Teng's new plan, the headquarters of Tencent's parent company will be relocated to Jiangzhou, with IM and network content services as the core, and the layout around QQ, including QQ instant network communication, QQ mailbox, QQ space, QQ group, QQ game and online game business.

Guangzhou Tencent Communication Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary, takes communication equipment and technology as its main business module, and Jiangzhou Tiantian Network Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary, focuses on network content services.

Tencent Group's online game business was transferred to Tencent, and search, e-commerce, and online payment businesses were transferred to Tiantian Company.

The enterprise-level TM information management system business is responsible for the company, and the enterprise-level security software package is bundled and sold, because the company has recruited a group of elites from Jiangtai Software, and has inherent advantages and mature architecture in the enterprise-level information database system.

Tencent Group's ATM and operating system teams are temporarily integrated into a new Tencent financial services technology company, and the chip business is separated and owned by the group's direct subsidiary.

Mr. Xu suffered a loss in the chip business, trusted Academician Ni, and boldly followed Academician Ni's suggestion and invested 40 million in the Ark Chip Company founded by a friend of Academician Ni, but was deceived, not only Mr. Xu was deceived, but the Ministry of Science and Technology was also deceived.

Mr. Xu only found out that there was a problem with this company last year, and embezzled his investment and 863 funds from the Ministry of Science and Technology to engage in real estate investment, and finally knew that he had been deceived and immediately stopped a new round of additional investment.

The current situation of this ark chip is not good, Mr. Xu will definitely sue, and it is stabbed, the funds of the Ministry of Science and Technology are being recovered, and the other party's technical team is slowly returning to Tencent.

It's not fun now, so many people, it's a headache to have no business, after all, there is a shortage of chip designers in China, and they are reluctant to lay off employees

Mr. Xu's office at the Yangtze River Entrepreneurship Center is a natural, green bamboo forest where he discusses issues with several senior executives of Tencent.

When Shi Lirong explained some of his thoughts on Tencent's communication equipment business to chase Ericsson and Huawei, Xu Teng suddenly asked him to pause, open the NASDAQ stock market with his laptop, and check the stock price of ARM.

Fortunately, it is also the trough period of ARM stock, with a total share capital of 470 million, and institutional holdings only account for about 35%, with a share price of only $3.06 per share.

He sent a text message to Mr. Xu, "The shares of ARM in the United Kingdom will be taken as much as possible." ”

"I only noticed last year that we were negotiating with a British private investment institution to buy a 24% stake held by the original parent company Acorn at one time, so as not to rush to buy it to avoid greater market volatility. Mr. Xu's general meaning, son, don't spoil Dad's good deeds, but he was not very sure about the prospects of this company, and asked Xu Teng, "How much price is the upper limit?"

"What price do you say about all the chips of smartphones? According to the current stock price, a premium of 50%, 500 million US dollars is acceptable, hold it for a long time. Xu Teng made a more accurate judgment.

Immediately, he completely deleted the records of these text messages in his mobile phone, and asked Shi Lirong to explain the current competitive situation of CDMA, WCDMA and TD-CDMA businesses.

The other party talked for a long time.

Xu Teng only asked one sentence, "Which one does Huawei choose, and which one does ZTE choose?"

"Huawei chose WCDMA, this technology is actually relatively poor, mainly reflected in the stable ......!" Shi Lirong did not finish, obviously more optimistic about ZTE's choice.

"In fact, I have never wanted to express my stance on the dispute between soft and hard factions within Tencent, because I am basically dizzy about the communication business and the chip business, and I don't understand anything. Xu Teng interrupted Shi Lirong's words, "I only know one thing, since Huawei is a top student, and we are poor students with poor grades, then go and copy the exam papers of the top student, mix a passing score first, and don't fail the subject." Later, you stand firm and then slowly think about surpassing the top students. ”

"Chairman Gao Ming. Shi Lirong can only say that Xu Teng is quite shameless, he didn't make the reason clear, so he let him plagiarize Huawei in an all-round way.

"Analyze the reasons why Huawei chose WCDMA. Xu Teng was curious about this.

"The cost is low, the patent rights are relatively scattered, and the cost can be reduced by exchanging patent rights, and in addition, it is basically gone, compared with the CDMA authorized by Qualcomm, the gap is not small. Shi Lirong deserves to have come out of ZTE, and his thinking is still stuck in the technical advantages, but he also has to admit that "CDMA's patents are in the hands of Qualcomm, and the licensing price must not be low." ”

"Isn't that over, capitalists are not stupid, who would hand over their fate to others and choose the expensive ones?" Xu Teng really felt that Shi Lirong was a little rigid in his thinking.

"That PHS has not done it, because the sales volume has been too high in the past two years, and the project was just urgently established last year. Shi Lirong felt that this was also going to be a problem.

"No, all the forces are concentrated in WCDMA, the speed surpasses Huawei, and Huawei is fully copied, in addition, you design a complete dividend incentive policy after you go back. In the profit dividends of Tencent Communication Technology Co., Ltd., 41% of the equity dividends held by me and Fuxin International are all distributed to the company's employees, and the remaining 50% is used for scientific research investment and business expansion. ”

Xu Teng said this, his heart was faintly sad, Tencent's communication business can only rank fourth and fifth among domestic enterprises, far from Huawei and ZTE, the two giants, and it is a cut worse than Datang Telecom.

Since they have all reached this point, there are only two things left, one is to fight to the death and try to get to the second place first, and the other is to give up and wait for death in the fourth and fifth positions.

Mr. Xu didn't lay out the business of PHS in advance, so he obviously forgot, the wise man has a thousand thoughts, there must be a mistake, and it would be a stupid fork to do it now.

Xu Teng used to have a limited understanding of the communications industry, anyway, he basically didn't use a 3G card before, and directly upgraded from 2G to 4G, and his friends were basically like this.

In other words, domestic mobile is to stick to GSM, jump directly to invest in 4G, Unicom, Europe and the United States, Japan are all using WCDMA technology, mobile's TDSCDMA must be a stupid fork standard, mobile itself has not invested much, Datang gambled on this technology, and was starved to death, completely withdrawing from the competition of the domestic three giants.

There are so many pits, Huawei has not stepped on any of them, and has sat back and watched ZTE, Datang, and Starcom kill themselves, and finally dominate the world.

It's really unconvincing.

Xu Teng actually has nothing to say, but he still hasn't left the office, and Shi Lirong continues to idle about various problems in Tencent's communication industry, look at the data, analyze the pattern and differences between the two giants of Huawei and ZTE, and ponder the overall strategy of Tencent Communication Technology Company.

Xu Teng is not idle and bored, but he doesn't want to go home, there are a bunch of relatives of the old Xu family at home, I don't know what I want to do, uncle, sister-in-law, Xia Ma, and two cousins have been calling and texting, Xu Teng asked Han Dai to deal with it, only saying that he was in a meeting.

The Tencent company left by Mr. Xu has so many pits, Xu Teng doesn't know if he can handle it, and he single-handedly single-handedly takes on Huawei, Alibaba, Baidu and the three major portals, and he is too brave, he is afraid that he will die too miserably.

Unexpectedly, there are a bunch of pits at home, and I am annoyed to death.

Xu Teng hid in the company to take refuge, but at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, he and Shi Lirong and Tang Jun were talking about the pre-research of follow-up 4G technology, Han Dai hurriedly walked in to disturb them, and handed over the mobile phone to Xu Teng a little embarrassed, reminding him, "Your cousin Xu Qianqian's phone must be answered by you, and it has been a long time." ”

"Oh, okay, I'll answer the phone first, we'll talk later. Xu Teng signaled Shi Lirong not to be in a hurry to analyze the situation of 4G, he just took the phone, and before he could speak, Xu Qianqian roared angrily, "Xiao Teng, Yan Yan's bastard splits his legs, do you care?"

Syllable.

Xu Teng hung up the phone and returned it to Han Dai, "You call Guo Jian, if those people are really presumptuous at my house, let the security guard send them away directly." ”

"Oh. Han Dai was a little afraid to pass on the words, but she still left with the phone, ready to send a text message to Xu Teng's security captain Guo Jian to explain clearly.

"What's the situation? There are relatives at the chairman's family coming over?" Tang Junting is concerned about this matter, he must be concerned, he is now Chairman Xu Teng's descendant and important minister, and there is still a two-year inspection and evaluation period.

"A bunch of relatives, I don't know what to do, I don't want to go back. "Xu Teng has no way at all, this matter is also the pit that Mr. Xu stayed in, no news at all, no care at all.

"This matter is easy to do, I will deal with it, and I will say that the chairman is entertaining the leaders of the provincial government, and he will definitely not be able to come back for the time being. I will take them to a nearby hotel to eat and drink, find out their intentions, and the chairman will deal with them slowly tomorrow. ”

Tang Jun got up and explained by the way, "This kind of thing, when I was the president of Microsoft China, I met too many, seven aunts and eight aunts, and I don't know how far away my distant relatives were, all of whom asked me to send my children to the United States to study and work at Microsoft, and some things were simply even more outrageous, for no reason, I felt that I was at the same level as the leaders of the provincial party committee, and I had to greet the city leaders in my hometown for the demolition and relocation." In those two years, I couldn't understand what was going on in this society!"

Tang Jun sighed, he really felt that this society was sick.

"Okay, you can help me deal with it, figure out their motives, and I'll deal with these relatives tomorrow!" Xu Teng sent Tang Jun out of the office, thought about it, and found that Yang Fuyou was his fellow countryman, all of whom were from Wei County, so he hurriedly asked Yang Fuyou to also entertain his uncle and aunt, and fool around for one night.

Wait for Tang Jun and Yang Fuyou to leave.

Xu Teng poured two glasses of Hennessy VSOP in the office, gave one to Shi Lirong, sat on the edge of the desk and drank himself, thinking, "I don't know much about the communications industry, and I only started to make up classes in the past two months, and roughly speaking, I think Huawei is the weirdest opponent, a kind of technology company similar to institutional innovation." Huawei, ZTE, this is the opponent we have to learn from, especially Huawei, you have to find a way to analyze all the shortcomings of Huawei, but also analyze its shortcomings, plagiarize him, and in the end you can surpass him. (To be continued.) )
