Lin Qiangsheng registered Compaq Computer Company in Houston and purchased a large area of land on Houston State Highway to serve as Compaq's headquarters.

Johnson & Johnson Lin and senior manager of Texas Instruments, Rod ? Kenyon had met several times beforehand. Mr. Lin also expressed his sincerity that he would appoint Rodt Kenyon as the company's president and chief executive officer, and he would be fully responsible for the company's affairs.

"Mr. Kenyon, I wonder if you would like to accept the position of President of Compaq? We have communicated many times beforehand, and you can see that you are also a person who is very eager to start a business. So what makes you hesitate and what questions you have can talk to me directly! Lin asked Rod Kenyon across the coffee table.

Rod looked at Lin Qiangsheng, then at Ryan who was wearing a professional formal suit beside him, and said hesitantly with a frown: "Lin, I have a question!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "Rod, just say it." There's nothing we can't be honest with! ”

Rodkenyon nodded and said, "Then I'll tell you the truth!" As far as I know, many Chinese entrepreneurs are very concerned about the right to operate their businesses! In the actual operation of a business, they often like to appoint family members they trust. And not only that, but they also like to make their own claims, even if they know they are wrong but they just don't want to admit it. Short-sighted, only believe in yourself! For example, Mr. Wang An is a typical example, and his style is extremely famous in the electronics industry! Not only is he stubborn and self-serving, but he also can't listen to the advice and advice of others! If I met such a boss, I really didn't want to stay in such a company for even a second longer! I want to know. As a Chinese, does Mr. Lin understand the business philosophy of modern enterprises? Do you know the Western philosophy of business? ”

Rod Kenyon suddenly raised the sharp question of corporate management. I plan to get the answer directly from the answer of Lin Qiangsheng, the owner of the company. He also didn't want to have a violent conflict with Lin Qiangsheng in the future business operation, which would not only make him work hard in vain, but also waste time very unworthy.

Lin Qiangsheng is a good recipient of corporate culture and the differences between Eastern and Western business philosophy, but the key is that he actually doesn't understand business management. He knows what is right, so he just firmly supports the operator to do it. For Lin Qiangsheng, keeping a clear head and not making mistakes is more important than managing a business!

Lin Qiangsheng nodded seriously and said, "Rod, you raised a very good question!" I also learned about Western ways of doing business. I know that in your culture, the business management concept of 'owning a business is not equal to having the right to operate', and the separation of enterprise ownership and management rights is very good! I don't plan to turn my business into an oriental traditional enterprise. I want it to be more international. It's out of the world! I want to make Compaq Computer a global company. More than just a regional Chinese family business! I want to introduce the professional manager system in Compaq Computer Company, and at the same time, I will fully accept the American corporate culture, and resolutely do not interfere in the aspects that I don't understand! I'm going to hire a legal expert for the company, and I'm going to make it completely an American company, a company with an American culture! I don't mix East and West in my business! ”

"Trust me, Mr. Kenyon! You are the best business manager I have found, and I will fully trust you! ”

Rod Kenyon listened to Lin Johnson's words and nodded constantly. He saw Ryan, who was sitting across from him, also taking notes. Yiqiē seems to be very formal, which is completely different from the image of the Chinese boss and subordinates he had in mind at the beginning. gradually believed Lin Qiangsheng's words.

Lin Qiangsheng continued to say to Rod Kenyon: "Actually, I think there are many companies in the East and the West that have the same business philosophy! For example, in traditional Chinese culture, when running a business, a visionary boss is usually very humane to his employees! I have seen some examples of this in the West, such as Mr. Ford Sr. raising the wages of the workers in the car factory and making the cars that the workers bought! For example, after so many years of development, the welfare of Western enterprises is getting better and better, such as paid holidays for workers, on-time commuting system, overtime system, etc., which are the embodiment of the human touch of Western enterprises! I agree with this very much, and you can trust me that I have some knowledge of Western corporate culture! ”

Rod Kenyon smiled, and I have to say that Lin Johnson said it very well, and these examples and allusions he gave are very famous. There is also his own summary, it seems that the young Chinese boss in front of him really understands Western business philosophy. Then it is very important that when he actually runs the company in the future, he will not be interfered with by the company's board of directors! Everyone has an ideal ambition to show what they have learned, and no one wants to be a marionette!

"You're absolutely right! Humanistic care is also something that every modern enterprise must pay attention to, which is related to the cohesion and development prospects of an enterprise! Rod Kenyon agreed.

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and shrugged his shoulders, enlivening the atmosphere on both sides, and said: "Actually, there are practical examples of business owners and operators in Chinese culture, such as the Shanxi ticket number during the Qing Dynasty, where the actual owner of the ticket number would choose a professional manager and shopkeeper who had been trained by himself. In my opinion, this kind of 'big shopkeeper' is similar to the meaning of a professional manager. The 'big shopkeeper' operates and manages the ticket number, and the actual owner of the ticket number rarely interferes with the 'big shopkeeper'. In my opinion, this is the prototype of professional managers, and it is already very similar! ”

"But in modern times, entrepreneurs in the Chinese circle can rarely find managers who are suitable for the development of the enterprise, or there is no perfect professional manager system in the Chinese circle, and there is a lack of integrity! Because managers do not have relevant institutional constraints and ethics, once they accept the management of the family business, it is easy to embezzle the enterprise or embezzle the company's money after a long time! This has created a tradition of distrust of professional managers in the Chinese community! If there is a good system and good moral integrity, what rich man does not like to throw his troubles to professional managers and enjoy life by himself! People who work hard every day and like to work, after all, there are still very few! ”

Lin Qiangsheng continued: "Please Mr. Kenyon, believe me! In the actual business process of Compaq, I will fully trust you and the team you lead, and completely hand over Compaq Computer Company to you to operate! Lin Qiangsheng said to Rod Kenyon very seriously and affirmatively.

Rod Kenyon as one of the founders of Compaq and his great achievements in the early days. Lin Qiangsheng fully trusts his management level, and the history of his previous life has proven this!

Now with the participation of Lin Johnson, Compaq Computer Company was established two years ahead of schedule, and Lin Qiangsheng still believes that Rodt Kenyon will run the company well, and there is no one more suitable for Compaq than him!

Seeing that Rod Kenyon was still a little undecided, Lin Johnson glanced at Ryan and said in his heart: "Rode, I will invest $1 million in Compaq Computer Company in advance. I authorize you to own 4% of the company, and if Compaq succeeds in launching a market-approved computer, you can own 8% of the company, what do you think? ”

Ryan glanced at Lin Qiangsheng, he didn't expect him to trust this Rod Kenyon so much, he would give him shares first, you must know that she herself has not yet obtained shares in any company! Could it be that this Rod Kenyon in front of him is really a talent? Can he lead Compaq Computer to success?!

Ryan suddenly found in his heart that Lin Johnson actually paid more attention to this Compaq company than the Pentium Computer Company he personally established! Don't look at the Pentium Computer Company, which is personally controlled by Lin Qiangsheng, but the three Chinese over there have never let Lin Qiangsheng achieve such a trusting Cheng dù and such a big determination!

After Rod Kenyon heard Lin Johnson's promise, he was a little excited. After all, he also has a dream of starting a business, but he feels that the time is not yet ripe, and he is not yet ready to create a computer company on his own. Now a tycoon suddenly invited him so warmly, which also moved him very much, and he wanted to try the trial with his own hands.

Rod Kenyon suppressed his excitement and made one final decision to Lin Johnson, he asked, "Mr. Lin, I have one last question!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said patiently: "Rod, you don't have to be polite. We need to establish a good communication foundation between the two sides, and if you want to know something, you can ask me directly! ”

Rod nodded, and then asked Lin Qiangsheng, "I want to know, where do you plan to set up the headquarters of this Compaq company?" ”

Lin Johnson introduced to Rod Fin: "Compaq is headquartered in Houston, 249 on state highways! ”

"It's big enough to build three large football stadiums!"

The price of land in the United States is so cheap now, and most of the land in the United States is privately owned. He bought the land from several estate owners and ranchers for a total of less than $3 million.

"Houston is really the best place to go, and it's easy to get around on state roads," Rhodes agreed. But I still have a question! ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and made a gesture of please. He invited Rod Kenyon very sincerely, and this man deserved his extra attention.

Rod asked seriously, "Excuse me, Mr. Lin!" Do you plan to put your company's research base on this land as well? Don't want to move to China? ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, "Of course! Texas is home to a lot of electronics talent, and it's one of the world's most important birthplaces of electronics! We can't expect to build an oasis in the desert and Texas is a great location! ”

Rod thought about it, and finally smiled happily at Lin Qiangsheng: "Then I don't have any problems." I would like to accept your entrustment as President and CEO of Compaq Computer Corporation! May we have a happy cooperation, Mr. Lin! (To be continued......)
