447【The 35th Golden Globe Awards】
Henry. Roberts this man, although he was terrible at the management of the company, even cronyism, put Paul . Alan and the others are gone, but he is still very good.
Even in the last month of his tenure at the company, Henry. Roberts also did a conscientious job and did not herd the sheep because he was about to leave.
When Wang Zijun took Zhang Anle and Steve. When Ballmer came to him, Henry. Roberts was very skeptical of the abilities of the two. Only when Roberts and Wang Zijun were alone together, Roberts persuaded: "Wang, although I am leaving, as the founder of MITS, I still don't want it to collapse." With all due respect, that compatriot of yours, Mr. Zhang, has no experience in managing large companies at all, and Ballmer, he's just a chick who will definitely mess around when he really gets into trouble. ”
"Don't worry, Roberts. In fact, I want you to stay with the company and be the head of the company's technical management. "Wang Zijun didn't say one thing clearly, that is, your Roberts management ability is not good, but you are still very competent in technology research and development.
As for Zhang Anle and Ballmer's abilities, Wang Zijun is a hundred reassuring.
Take Zhang Anle as an example, the reason why the Bamboo Union Gang has developed so smoothly in recent years is inseparable from Zhang Anle's ability. Let's not talk about gang management, let's talk about the current companies under the Bamboo Union Gang, which one is not the framework built by Zhang Anle, and guides the development and growth step by step. This is a gang that has been mixed up in high school.,Single-handedly formed a branch of the Bamboo Gang.,And he also took the first place in the school every time.。
In the 90s, after Zhang Anle was released from prison, he relied on the power of the Bamboo Union Gang to create a Taolue Group with 29 subsidiaries in just a few years. Later, he moved to the mainland, and the sports equipment company he founded in Guangdong became the world's largest helmet manufacturer, specializing in the production of horse helmets, skating helmets and cycling helmets, with annual sales accounting for more than 45% of the global market share.
Zhang Anle also set up a station. He himself became the president of the "China Reunification Promotion Party," which later grew to more than 50,000 members.
Such a bull Wang Zijun needs to worry about his ability? To know the 96 years of Taiwan. In the general election, Lee Teng-hui regarded Zhang Anle as James Soong's biggest people's backing, and fearing that he would affect his own election campaign, Lee Teng-hui did everything possible to force Zhang Anle to leave the post. b, out of the mainland.
As for Ballmer, Wang Zijun doesn't need to worry. Although he is young and inexperienced, this one will be able to make Bill Brown a few years later. Gates sold a few 8.0 percent of Microsoft's shares to hire a genius who could not be viewed with simple age and experience.
With such a combination of two geniuses, I am afraid that the ability to burst out will be very amazing.
Wang Zijun is not worried about the conflict between the two at all, Zhang Anle has almost a natural ability for personnel management. b. Tens of thousands of gang members, but can't handle more than 200 people from Ballmer and MITS?
Zhang Anle and Ballmer quickly entered the state, they did nothing else after entering the company, and they all learned about the details of the company first. Then acting separately, Zhang Anle spent half a month talking to all the employees of the company one by one, and made another move to stabilize the company's hearts; Ballmer, on the other hand, sent the original few middle managers who had a conflict with Roberts and left the company to return to MITS.
Immediately afterward, the two tacitly cooperated. Ballmer visited more than 20 of MITS' suppliers and investigated the PC accessories market to find ways to reduce production costs. Zhang Anle took a few technicians to contact more than 40 sellers of MITS to understand the needs of users and dissatisfaction, and took them back to make technical improvements.
At the same time as finding the middle management who had left the company, Roberts had also left New Mexico to return to his hometown to become a farmer, and the friend who Roberts had hired to manage MITS was also kicked away by Wang Zijun. …,
Regarding the company's technology research and development managers, Wang Zijun successively approached Paul. Alan went back several times, but the latter did not agree to come back to work. Unexpectedly by Wang Zijun, far away in Taiwan. B. Mino, who is in charge of Nintendo's Asian affairs, actually called and recommended a person - Ronald . Gerald. Wayne, one of the three founders of Apple, Steve Brown. Steve Jobs was a former entrepreneurial partner.
However, Wayne had already left Apple by this time, and sold all his Apple shares to two Steves (Steve. Jobs and Steve. Woz), and this 10% stake in Apple was sold for only $800.
The reason Wayne left Apple was that Apple was losing money.
In fact, overall, Roberts' management ability is mediocre, and at least under his leadership, MITS can still make about $200,000 a year. Steve Jobs' Apple not only didn't make a profit, but it also lost money continuously, while other PC companies were in a similar situation.
This is the current situation in the US PC market, with some companies making slight gains and others continuing to lose money.
Therefore, Wang Zijun's dissatisfaction with Roberts is not because the company is not profitable. It's because Roberts has become irritable and neurotic because he can't make any money and has a series of technical problems, and cronyism has forced Paul away. Allan. This is a bit unforgivable for a company manager.
The former Apple founder Ronald . Wayne, who started out as a gaming machine technology manufacturer, had designed a coin machine for a casino in Las Vegas a few years earlier, but after the failure, he lost a lot of money to the casino and his own company went out of business.
Then there was the encounter between Jobs and Woz, and the three of them worked together to figure out Apple. The beginning went well, but the losses that lasted for months made Wayne, who had experienced investment failures, disheartened, sold his shares and left Apple.
Now, Wayne is working as an engineer at a small game company.
And the reason why Mino recommended him was because the game machine technology company in Las Vegas was invested by the two of them. Mino said on the phone: "Wang, believe me, this Wayne guy is an absolute talent. The main reason for his failure is a fatal flaw, that is, he is too psychologically fragile, and he is afraid of suffering failure and often gives up halfway. It's not okay to let him make decisions, but when it comes to doing technology, this guy has absolutely no problem. ”
Since Mino said so, Wang Zijun is no longer picky, anyway, he can't find a suitable candidate now, and the few technicians found through the headhunting company are not the kind of material that can pick the beam, so he can only do technology obediently.
Zhang Anle quickly recruited Wayne into the company, and the recruitment process was very smooth. Wayne thought he was talented, and he was very depressed working for a small game company, and when he heard that MITS had asked him to manage technical affairs and offer a good salary, this guy came to report.
By the time Wayne joined the MITS company, it had been a month and a half later, and this is a later story.
Let's say that Wang Zijun sent Zhang Anle and Ballmer into the company, and returned to Hollywood non-stop.
The 35th Golden Globe Awards are just around the corner.
In front of the Hilton Hotel in Hollywood's Billy Hills, it was very lively today, and fans and reporters came to wait since the morning.
In the afternoon, some film industry insiders began to appear one by one, and every time a star appeared, it would attract a burst of exclamations from fans.
Martin. Scorsese waved his hand gently to the fans all the way, and his "Taxi Driver" the year before last made many people remember the starring role Robert . In addition to De Niro, as a director, he has also increased his exposure.
It's a pity that his "New York, New York" created last year not only failed at the box office, but even this year's Golden Globe Award nominations only pitifully won two, and the chance of winning the award in the end is very small.
"Hey, Martin, you're here too." Robert. De Niro shouted his friend's name. …,
Martin. Scorsese walked over, patted him affectionately on the shoulder and said, "Man, I wish you the Golden Globe for Best Actor." ”
"It could be." Robert. De Niro Road.
"No, you're hopeful, I guess you have a ninety percent chance." Martin. Scorsese Road.
Robert. De Niro said, "Who knows? You know the polling reporters sometimes have very unique tastes. Oh, and when it comes to journalists, there they are. It's like the Chinese words that Zakary said, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao to. ”
"Who is Cao Cao?" Martin. Scorsese asked.
Robert. De Niro said: "I don't know, maybe it's a very famous track and field athlete in Asia. ”
"Mr. Scorsese and Mr. De Niro, good afternoon. I'm Jason, a reporter for The Hollywood Reporter. A reporter interjected.
"Hello, Jason." Martin. Scorsese and Robert. De Niro and the two did not dare to snub the reporters of The Hollywood Reporter.
Jason said: "Both of them have been nominated for Golden Globes, can you talk about how you feel now? ”
Martin. Scorsese smiled a little reluctantly: "Of course I want my film to win, but there are so many good movies at the Golden Globe Awards today." ”
"Where's Robert?" Jason asked Robert. Droni.
"Actually, I haven't won a Golden Globe or an Oscar yet, so I'm really looking forward to the moment when the winners are announced," Robert said. ”
The reporter asked the two some questions, and Robert was very cooperative, but Martin, who had little chance of winning the award. Scorsese was not interested. After answering a few questions, Martin. Scorsese suddenly went straight to the front and said, "Oh, Jason, I think you should go and interview our Chinese director, he's coming." ”
"Really?" Jason turned around, and sure enough, he saw Wang Zijun surrounded by two reporters, and the fans on the periphery shouted his name from time to time.
"The Hollywood Reporter" didn't dare to despise Wang Zijun anymore, and Jason quickly said goodbye to the two and ran over to interview Wang Zijun.
Martin. Scorsese looked at Wang Zijun, who was dealing with reporters in the distance, and said with a smile: "What an interesting guy." ”
