Chapter 1178: Accept the Maverick
Twist vine looked stunned and disbelieving. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info√∟,
The rest of the office looked incredulous: Is the boss crazy?
"I ...... I ......" Twist Vine was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head with difficulty: "Mr. Lin, please don't joke......"
He doesn't think he's a loser who has the qualifications to be the regional head of a company as big as ICQ.
Is this guy still calm, Lin Zheng nodded secretly in his heart: Lin Zheng is not stupid, of course he will not hand over ICQ to Twist Vine so easily, not only Twist Vine is not beneficial, but also not good for the company, this is not what a qualified business manager should do, if he really does this, no one will be convinced, and the morale of these current employees in the company will also be greatly affected.
"It's not a pastime," as he spoke, Lin Zheng's gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, looking at their shocked or depressed expressions, and said lightly: "I know that many of you are not convinced, and feel that you are either top students from world-famous universities or elites in the industry. But what I want to ask is, what do you know about the actual situation of OICQ? Mr. Lu, how much do you know about OICQ? ”
Lin Zheng named Lu Yiming, a product manager at ICQ (China).
"This ...... This ......"
Lu Yiming was hesitant, but he didn't say one, two, three, four, he had his own "bitterness" in his heart: who would notice them in a small company like OICQ?
"I know OICQ and Mr. Ma's team very well. Do you think I value Mr. Ma for no reason? Tell you, Mr. Ma and his team. In less than 9 months, the number of OICQ users has reached nearly 30,000. Lin Zheng's words came out. Lu Yiming's face suddenly turned pale: The big boss knows everything clearly, but he, the person in charge, doesn't know. That's too much to say.
didn't look at Lu Yiming, Lin Zheng continued: "Do you think it's not a big deal?" What if I told you that the number of OICQ users has been increasing by more than 100% per month in the last three months? I don't know where you got the confidence to turn a blind eye to such a close competitor. ”
"I have been waiting for you for more than 3 months, hoping that someone will come and tell me that OICQ will threaten ICQ's position, and suggest that the company take timely measures, or acquire, or suppress, but three months. For three whole months," three fingers were raised, and Lin Zheng looked disappointed: "No one came to tell me, no one sent me an e-mail......"
The huge conference room was frighteningly quiet, Lin Zheng's words scared many people in the conference room, and at this point, even a pig could hear that Lin Zheng's dissatisfaction with their work had reached the extreme: even the high-ranking boss noticed it, but you paid guys didn't notice it. What the hell do you eat?
In fact...... Lin Zheng is indeed very dissatisfied with the work of these guys.
Almost every one of the people who operate ICQ in China has a glamorous resume, and the worst is also a graduate of a famous university in China, but what about Twist Vine and his team members? Not even a single person who has gone abroad to drink foreign ink. Naturally, they look down on such a group of "dirt eight roads".
But perhaps it's their glossy resumes that keep their eyes on the top of their heads, and these guys get paid well. With the advantage of popularity and first-mover, so far it has only developed the number of ICQ users in China to the level of millions.
This seems to be a good result. After all, the current Internet popularization in China is not developed, but on the other hand, twist vine. This guy and his team, without the slightest popularity, took a bite of the cake on the Internet instant messaging...... That's it, but no one noticed the threat of OICQ to ICQ, which is too much, could it be that Lao Tzu raised a group of pigs?
Lin Zheng doesn't mind taking this opportunity to knock them out, if these guys' work ability has not improved, it will not be a big deal to fire, and to be honest, the overall situation of Twist Vine and his OICQ is very good, OICQ's biggest problem now is indeed the problem of funding, up to now, OICQ's operation and team are still healthy, if they can get sufficient financial support, OICQ's growth potential is very high.
Compared with the pale-faced management of ICQ, Twist Vine's face is a little strange.
Yourself this is ...... Was it used as a tool for Lin Zheng to beat his employees? Twist Vine, who realized this, was a little depressed in his heart, and at the same time faintly excited: this also shows that Lin Zheng actually really values himself.
After training the group of guys under his command with eyes above the top, Lin Zheng nodded to Mahuateng: "Mr. Ma, do you think what I said just now was a joke?" ”
"This ......" twist vine didn't know what to say for a while, aren't you kidding me? Cautiously said: "I don't think I can do a good ......"
"With your current resume, it is estimated that I invite you to be the head of ICQ China today, and the resignation letter on my desk will be full tomorrow," Lin Zheng started joking, looked at Mahuateng and said seriously: "But I can guarantee that you will be given a fair platform, as long as you and your team can prove your ability, you can become the head of ICQ China, and even ......" After a brief pause, Lin Zheng said loudly: "It is not impossible to become a partner of ICQ." ”
"Partner?" Twist vine's eyes widened.
"Partner?" Lu Yiming and the others also widened their eyes.
"That's right," Lin Zheng took this opportunity to say the reform plan of the ICQ Republic District that he had considered before: "The company will delineate a series of performance rules, and if the performance reaches a certain level, it will automatically obtain the corresponding share ratio of ICQ China, up to 30%. ”
30%?!
Lin Zheng's words were really like a sledgehammer, smashing heavily on the top of everyone's head, and everyone's eyes were flashing golden stars, even twist vines: 30%!
Although I don't dare to predict how much potential ICQ has in China, even the most conservative estimates can grow to 100 million users in the future...... Isn't it strange that the number of domestic mobile phone users has just exceeded 100 million, and the total number of ICQ users has exceeded 100 million, right? …… A little more optimistic, with the development speed of the domestic mobile phone market as a reference, everyone feels that it is not impossible to break through 300 million in the future.
The number of 300 million users, this is a heart-pounding number when you think about it, with 300 million users in hand, how much can you do? How much benefit can a 30% stake bring to yourself?
Lin Zheng was already a little hesitant in his heart just now, hesitating whether to cancel this transaction, gritted his teeth and stayed up for a while, and made a decision in an instant: It's done! Even if you squeeze your head, you have to find a way to squeeze in!
"Mr. Lin, what you said is true?" With the last shred of reason in his heart, Twist Vine asked Lin Zheng in an astringent voice, he felt that he was very thirsty: "Also, is this a dry stock that can only pay dividends and will be automatically withdrawn after leaving, or is it a real share?" ”
Lin Zheng affirmed: "Of course, it is a real share." ”
This is actually mainly said to the twist vine.
Twist Vine really fell for it, the green tendons on his forehead jumped, and he hissed: "Mr. Lin, does what you said just now count?" ”
Although it is not clear why Lin Zheng is willing to take out such a large capital, 30% of the shares, although it is only in China, this is enough to make Twist Vine crazy.
"Of course it counts."
"Then I'll do it!"
For this 30% stake...... No, even if it's only 10%, or even 5%, Twist Vine has decided to fight.
It's really tiring, seeing that he finally managed to get this supergiant in the future IT field, Lin Zheng is full of a sense of accomplishment, as for whether Lin Zheng will hand over the domestic part of ICQ to Twist Vine to operate...... Are you kidding! Since history has proven that this guy is the most suitable person, he will choose another person if he has a problem with his head.
This 30% of the shares are also considered by Lin Zheng, don't look at the penguins, but in fact, there are not many shares in the hands of Twist Vine and his team members, Japan's SoftBank, Sequoia Capital and Yahoo hold more than 80% of the shares, in this case, 30% of the shares are enough to calm the hearts of their entire team, and it can be regarded as a little compensation for him.
……………………………………
On December 1, 1999, the atmosphere of Guihang Skylark was a little weird.
The employees gathered together and whispered, but the leaders didn't seem to have any mind to care about all this, and looked at the company's door with a serious face.
Only Lu Keqin, the general manager of Guihang Skylark, rubbed his hands excitedly, as if he had eaten three catties of magpie feces, and the smile on his face couldn't stop at all: the central leadership was far-sighted, and finally decided to sell Guihang Skylark to Lianchuang Technology, a good thing!
Looking at the guys who were eager to post it to SAIC-GM before, Lu Keqin felt comfortable in his heart, but unfortunately the time was not right now, otherwise Lu Keqin would definitely pick up his wine glass and toast three times in a row: as a winner, Lu Keqin felt that he had this qualification.
Yes, the question of the ownership of Guihang Skylark, which lasted for nearly half a year, has finally settled, and it is not SAIC-GM that has sworn before that has finally succeeded in holding the beauty, but Jiangbei Tesla, which is not favored at all...... When Lin Zheng decided to cooperate with 45 institutes to develop lithography machines, the result was already doomed. (To be continued.) )
