Chapter 247: Myth Sets Sail
"Where am I?"
Li Haoyu woke up, he rubbed his somewhat sour eyes, saw the surrounding environment clearly, and then he remembered that he was in the presidential suite that opened last night, but Ruth, who was with him last night, was gone.
Thinking of last night's crazy night with the brunette named Ruth, Li Haoyu felt that his waist was a little sore, this woman was simply a menopausal woman who wanted to be dissatisfied, and he almost died to cure this American girl.
"Next time, you have to take it easy, foreign chicks are much crazier than Chinese women, and ordinary people really can't handle them!" Li Haoyu moved his body and thought with a wry smile. But having said that, this kind of foreign chick is indeed delicious enough, no wonder many Chinese people like to call them "big Yanmar".
took a shower in the bathroom, Li Haoyu got dressed, had breakfast in the restaurant, and then slowly walked out of the Shangri-Li Hotel.
"Chairman Li, that chick from last night is still delicious enough, right?" It was Li Mingshun who called, and he said a few words on the phone before mentioning the topic: "Is Old Man Xie here today, I want to visit him." ”
Li Haoyu is still on the road at the moment, and besides, he can't go back to Paul's house today, where does he know that Xie Mingshan is still there, and said: "I don't know about this, I personally estimate that it should still be there, and you should be able to see Old Man Xie if you go early, well, it's best for you to call and make an appointment." ”
"Isn't Chairman Li coming back now?" Li Mingshun asked.
"No, I still have some things to do today, so I won't go." Li Haoyu said.
"Then bother Chairman Li, see you again."
Li Haoyu does have something to do today, he appeased the three Xbox foundries yesterday, he has to appease the Xbox sales staff today, and he has to meet the game designers of Microsoft Game Studio the day after tomorrow, so Li Haoyu is still relatively busy.
Most of the Xbox is sold in Microsoft's retail stores all over the world, and there are only a handful of stores in the United States that specialize in Xbox, in addition to being sold in Walmart, the largest supermarket chain in the United States. In order to fully take over Xbox, the Mythical Group not only needs to take over all the workers and skills, but also needs to re-establish a sales channel all over the world, otherwise no matter how good the quality of Xbox is, players will not be able to buy it.
However, Li Haoyu has already planned, he plans to temporarily sell in supermarket chains like Wal-Mart and Carrefour in various countries in the world, as well as on shopping sites such as ebay, Amazon, Taobao, etc., and then shift the focus to his own sales network when the sales network of the Mythical Group gradually expands to the whole world, and now he will build his own global sales network Myth Group and Li Haoyu can not afford it.
"Hello ladies and gentlemen. I guess I don't need to introduce myself, you all know a little bit about me. ”
At ten o'clock in the morning, Li Haoyu came to the conference room of a five-star hotel that had been agreed in advance, and there were already more than 20 people sitting here, all of whom were executives of the Xbox sales department. In the past, because the vast majority of Xbox was sold in Microsoft's retail stores and eBay, now that these businesses are all being spun off from Microsoft, their responsibility is becoming more and more important.
Everyone stood up at once, looked at the young Li Haoyu with awe or curiosity, and said in unison: "Hello boss." ”
Li Haoyu sat down in his own position at the top, motioned for them to sit down too, and said: "This time I summoned you over, because after hearing that I was in the Xbox business, many employees were panicked, and I came here to refute the rumors." ”
Everyone pricked up their ears at once, although there was a new boss, but as long as the boss continued to pay them, these people didn't mind continuing to serve the new boss. In the hearts of Americans, there is no idea of starting from the beginning, what "loyal ministers do not care about the second master, and good women do not marry the second husband" is bullshit to them, and only the green dollar is the most lovely.
Of course, the new boss can't pay less than the old boss, otherwise most of these Yankees will go on strike in protest. This is the United States, unlike China, where even demonstrations need to be reported to the Public Security Bureau, but there will be strikes and demonstrations at both ends of the three days.
Li Haoyu looked at these Yankees who were sitting precariously, in the past, he saw how those Hollywood blockbusters dragged cool cocks to blow up the sky, and now he saw that these Americans had become his subordinates, and he had a particularly cool feeling in his heart.
With a light cough, Li Haoyu didn't show any expression on his face, and said: "Before acquiring the Xbox business, I already said that at least for a year, Xbox will still maintain its original operation, and all personnel and finances will not be changed." I don't know where you heard the rumor that I'm going to purge the old Xbox staff, and I promise you that as long as you work hard, I will never fire anyone! ”
After a while, Li Haoyu's eyes swept over everyone in the conference room, and continued: "For those who cheat and cheat and don't work well, I will dismiss all of them within half a year." For those who work hard, not only will I increase my salary by at least 30%, but I will also give priority to promotions in positions over others, and I will be publicly recognized at the annual year-end commendation meeting. ”
Li Haoyu's words made everyone nod secretly, this new boss seems to be relatively reliable, which makes many people who have never had the opportunity to be promoted see the opportunity, and they want to make some achievements in front of the new boss.
"I've read your information before I came, but please introduce yourself." Li Haoyu nodded lightly to the first person sitting on the right.
The first person sitting on the right was a man in his early forties, and he said to Li Haoyu: "BOSS, I'm Adams, the president of Xbox. ”
"BOSS, I'm Harrison, Director of Sales for Xbox North America, and I've been in the Xbox department for twelve years."
"I'm Joseph, the chief engineer at Xbox, and I'm responsible for coordinating the development of Xbox and patching bugs in a timely manner."
"BOSS, I'm Arthur, the architecture engineer of Xbox, and I'm mainly responsible for the maintenance of Xbox and the development of the new generation platform."
"BOSS, I'm Rogge, the former sales director for Europe, who became the CEO of the Xbox division in October this year."
"I'm Kristen, an Xbox product consultant, and I'm responsible for collating customer feedback and collecting any real-world hardware parameters for Sony and Nintendo's next-generation console platforms, and submitting that information to engineering."
"I'm Park Mi-hye, the sales director of Xbox Asia, and I would like to ask the chairman for your attention." This woman is the only woman with an oriental face among these people, Li Haoyu only saw her photo when he got the information, and thought it was a Chinese, but he didn't expect it to be a Korean.
It took a few minutes for more than 20 people to introduce themselves one by one, Li Haoyu remembered their names one by one, and said: "You are all heroes of Xbox, and you have made great contributions to the development of Xbox, I have decided that from now on, the salary of all of you present will be increased by 30%, and it is possible to get shares of Xbox in the future." I forgot to tell you, I decided to set up Xbox as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Mythical Group, and all the business of Xbox is carried out by this company, and you are the executives of this company, and you will have the shares of Xbox in the future. ”
Everyone was happy at once, and although wages are very high in the United States, taxes are also very high. In addition to personal income tax, you need to pay sales tax on the purchase of things, you need to pay real estate tax regularly after buying a house, and you need to pay inheritance tax on inheritance, not only the U.S. federal tax, but also the state government. It is said that an American pays the equivalent of 99 days of free work for "Uncle Sam" in a year, and almost one-third of his salary is used to pay taxes.
Now that Li Haoyu has raised their salaries by 30%, each of them is very happy, which means that their family has a lot more free dollars at their disposal every month. In addition, a lot of people have left when they bought Xbox, and one-third of the people here have just turned from deputies to regulars, and they are almost happy at the moment, which is equivalent to their salaries increasing by two notches at once.
"BOSS, please rest assured, we will do our best to run Xbox." Adams said with a serious face.
Li Haoyu has no available manpower, otherwise he will definitely insert his own manpower in this new subsidiary, and now the only way to do it is to let the original team of Xbox continue to do it, but it is still necessary to send someone to supervise the finances.
"Xbox, a subsidiary, I decided to call it 'Mythical Qihang Electronics', responsible for Xbox's R&D, sales and after-sales, and the manufacturing problem is to use the original three OEMs for the time being, and whether to continue to use these three OEMs in the future or set up their own factories is all up to you. Adams, you're still the president of Mythical Voyage Electronics, Rogge you're still the CEO, Joseph, you're still the chief engineer of the new company, Christine, you're the CIO, and Harrison you're the sales director...... As for the other positions, you can discuss it yourself, whether it is recruitment or internal promotion, and send the list over after discussion. ”
Li Haoyu's appointment can only be said to put the mythical Qihang Electronics on a shelf, and he doesn't want to interfere in other things, he believes that they can do a good job, otherwise he will only have to change people.
Anyway, there are many talents in this world, and when they leave, there are still people who want to come in!
