Chapter 1376: My Dream: Retire at the age of 40
Although Lin Zheng said that the matter was not serious, how could it not be serious?
Although Lianchuang Technology is not destined to be spun off, although Motorola is no longer the Motorola of the year, its influence in the military and political circles is still not to be underestimated, plus an IBM that deals with the government and high-level members of Congress all year round, so to speak, this time is definitely the biggest threshold that ICQ and Lianchuang Technology have encountered so far!
Split? This kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable to Lin Zheng, I'm afraid no one can accept it, this matter is no longer something that Benier can handle alone, Lin Zheng has to rush to the United States in person to sit in the town and deal with all aspects, Lao Bei can't fully handle it now.

But before leaving, you must explain what you should explain.
The first is of course the top management of the group, Lianchuang Technology is the base camp of ICQ, and during this period, Lianchuang Technology must not have an accident.
"What? Americans want to launch an antitrust investigation into ICQ? ”
The news that Lin Zheng broke out instantly detonated the entire conference room.
All the group executives attending the meeting were terrified, anti-monopoly, once the US judicial agency determined that ICQ had monopolistic behavior, the outcome of ICQ was already doomed: there would be no other way except to be spun off.
But can ICQ be spun off? In other words, can Lianchuang Technology accept the situation of ICQ being spun off? Of course it can't be! For the current Lianchuang Technology and ICQ, the two sides are a relationship between you and me, and I have you, and no one can do without anyone, or in other words, without ICQ, Lianchuang Technology is equivalent to cutting off an arm and a leg.
That's how serious the consequences are.
Sun Yafang is worthy of being Lin Zheng's chosen future successor, unlike her other panicked colleagues, although her brows are also furrowed, there is not much panic on her face.
This performance made Lin Zheng breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and he still thought that he would retire in another 10 years. When the time comes, the company will be handed over to Sun Yafang, if the person he entrusted is a guy who was scared when he heard the name of the American, it would not work, and now it seems that Sun Yafang did not disappoint himself.
Of course. There is no need to say this now.
And Patrick. Picchet, the group's chief financial officer, had a faint taunt on his face, not only was he not intimidated by the news brought by his boss, but he looked very calm, which was really unexpected by Lin Zheng...... Well. Maybe you can train him too?
"Quiet!" Lin Zheng looked at the people in front of him with a gloomy face, extremely unhappy: "Look at you, what do you all look like?" Could it be that Americans are born with three heads and six arms, and they can do whatever they want? Look at this little bit of your work! If anyone thinks that we are lost, the best way out is to quickly kneel on the ground and beg the Americans, then let me out now, the company doesn't want such a boneless soft egg! ”
Lin Zheng's words were extremely heavy, and the faces of the "soft eggs" instantly turned red, and they couldn't wait to get into it with an orderly seam on the ground: Indeed, the battle hasn't started yet. On his side, he has already coaxed first, which boss can accept that his subordinates are a group of such wine bags and rice bags?
What the? You say you're not a sake bag rice bag? Do you perform well on weekdays? Tell you, weekdays are weekdays, and there are more bastards who can do a good job on weekdays, but when it comes to critical moments, there are more bastards who drop the chain and pull the string, and there is no shortage of people like you.
Sun Yafang's eyes lit up, and she raised her voice and asked Lin Zheng, "Boss, we can still win this time, right?" ”
"We can get to where we are today, relying on the swords and guns in our hands and everyone working together to get to where we are today, step by step, not by giving in to the opponent and begging for softness, kneeling and begging for mercy!" Lin Zheng bowed slightly to Sun Yafang approvingly. Sure enough, he is worthy of the person he chose: he said loudly: "We have walked step by step from the blue wisps of the road to today, and we have encountered fewer difficulties than today?" Is the opponent you meet weaker than your Swiss opponent today? Since we were able to fight our way out of the market, we are no problem now! ”
Speaking of this, Lin Zheng paused. Then he continued: "Of course, empty words are useless and will not solve any problems, but I can tell you why we will not lose!" First of all, everyone can rest assured. ICQ is not the only online instant chat software similar to ICQ on the market, and our competitors are trying to investigate ICQ on the grounds that ICQ is suspected of monopoly, and this reason is simply untenable;
Second, we are not the masters of bullying, over the years, ICQ has deepened cooperation with many senior government officials, state legislators and members of Congress, and there will be no situation where no one will speak for us when things come to an end;
Finally, we have money in our hands, although not as rich as IBM, Microsoft, and Motorola combined, but are they willing to spend all their money on this matter? Apparently not! But for ICQ, if they can't pass this hurdle and face the fate of being spun off, can they have our determination? I don't believe it," slapped the table hard, Lin Zheng said loudly: "To tell you the truth, in order to win this relationship, ICQ used as much as 2 billion public relations expenses, and as long as necessary, there will be unlimited additions." ”
A group of group executives who had just been panicked were suddenly calmed by Lin Zheng's words, and at the same time, the courage that was almost broken before was finally returned, they were only frightened by the words of the Americans to conduct an anti-monopoly investigation on ICQ and the serious consequences brought about by it, but now, Lin Zheng's words made everyone recall: Yes, although ICQ has taken the biggest piece of cake in the market of online instant chat tools, this does not mean that Lianchuang Technology has really monopolized.
Of course, whether you monopolize or not, it is not up to you to have the final say, for the sake of interests, you do not monopolize, and people say that you monopolize and you monopolize; Even if you have a monopoly, as long as you do enough work, you can still interpret it as not having a monopoly - isn't that what Microsoft does?
But don't we have any roots in the United States? No, in that case, what else do we have to be afraid of? Have we encountered fewer difficulties over the years? Back then, step by step to the present, there are still fewer winds and waves, haven't we also come step by step.
When a group of executives were talking about the possibility of the group turning defeat into victory, Lin Zheng received a note, which was passed by Sun Yafang, with only one sentence written on it: Is it really okay to rely on such a group of people?
yes, just by relying on such a person who was almost scared because of a piece of news. Is it really okay?
What's worse is that a similar situation has happened not once or twice, not far away, only near. In the channel battle between Lianchuang Technology and Gome Electric Appliances last year, the group's group of executives still vividly remembered their performance in the early days. I just want to sleep on the merit book and enjoy all this with peace of mind, but I don't want to think that the crisis is right in front of me, and once the crisis comes, I will either panic or pin all my hopes on Lin Zheng...... If they want to rely on such a group of people to continue to compete with Western companies like wolves, can they afford this heavy responsibility?
Sun Yafang is very skeptical about the answer to this question, in her opinion, who is ambitious and wants to prove herself, although Lianchuang Technology's influence and strength are already very strong, it does not mean that the company can stop there. On the contrary, in her view, the future of the group is bright.
Lin Zheng didn't speak, in fact, he had been thinking about this question for a while.
Now more than 10 years have passed, everyone is considered to be famous, become successful people, and become people in people's mouths, but now they have lost the fighting spirit when they fought the world, and have really become a group of rice worms, spending such a big price every year to raise such a group of rice worms, what is the meaning?
That's right. Lin Zheng is a person who misses the old, but thinking about the old does not mean that he has to take care of them no matter what they do, he can be their boss, their friend, their guide, and their helmsman. But it can't be their babysitter.
Thinking of this, Lin Zheng finally made up his mind, glanced up at Sun Yafang, and after writing a few strokes, he immediately pushed it to Sun Yafang.
Seeing the words "not time" on the note, Sun Yafang smiled slightly. She folded the note and put it in her pocket: she was satisfied with the boss's answer, which showed that the boss had not lost his aggressiveness and was aware of the seriousness of the problem, which was good.
Lin Zheng's original intention of convening this meeting was to hope that everyone would work together and not be taken advantage of during the time he left the country, but now that it will be held in this part, Lin Zheng was a little disappointed, and the things he had prepared were not mentioned directly, but made a decision with a posture that could not be refuted by his subordinates: During his absence, Tan Na and Sun Yafang were fully responsible for the problem.
In other words, Lin Zheng handed over Lianchuang Technology to Tan Na and Sun Yafang.
It is said that with today's convenient consulting method, Lin Zheng actually does not need to do this, he can command remotely in the United States, and he can also achieve real-time control of the company, but there is a problem that has to be considered, that is, time difference.
If there is something that Lin Zheng needs to make an immediate decision, but it is night in the United States at the moment, or Lin Zheng is visiting an extremely important guest, and no one can be disturbed halfway, what should I do? Do you just wait and watch, and miss the opportunity? Of course not.
Lin Zheng can certainly remotely control some of the company's things in the United States, but when necessary, there must be someone who can make decisions in real time.
At the end of the conference, Lin Zheng was in his own office with Tan Na, Sun Yafang, Patrick. Pichet held a small meeting, and at this meeting, Lin Zheng's decision was implemented.
After talking about the arrangements for the time he left the country, Sun Yafang immediately asked: "Boss, the matter is big, do you still have to say hello to the above?" ”
"Of course you have to say hello," Lin Zheng responded, spread his hands, and said, "At this time, maybe the above has already gotten the news, right?" Maybe they're just waiting for me to speak. ”
"That's right," Hearing Lin Zheng say this, Sun Yafang and the others also laughed, and Sun Yafang solemnly said to Lin Zheng and Tan Na: "Boss, don't worry, during your absence, Patrick and I will definitely be optimistic about the company, and we will never be bullied." ”
Patrick. Pitchet nodded, and said to Lin Zheng in a slightly weird tone: "Boss, don't worry about finance, with me, there will be no problems." ”
"I don't have anything to worry about the two of you," after a brief pause, Lin Zheng changed the topic and said to Sun Yafang: "During my absence, if you find that there are good talents, you can promote those who should be promoted, and you don't have to worry too much." ”
At first glance, this was to award Sun Yafang's "Shang Fang Sword" to the ruler, and it seemed to tell Sun Yafang: During my absence, if some "old" guys in the company dare not listen to the greetings, relying on their qualifications, they are making trouble with the wind and rain, and you should clean up what you should do, and you don't have to worry about it. But Sun Yafang heard another meaning in these words: the leader is instructing himself to cultivate his own lineage strength.
This is the first time that Lin Zheng has clearly sent a signal to Sun Yafang that "you are the future successor of the company", previously, although Lin Zheng also expressed the idea of cultivating Sun Yafang as a successor, but those hints look vague and uncertain, but they are a bit like the carrot hanging in front of the donkey, but now, this carrot is no longer a carrot that can only be seen but not eaten.
Sun Yafang was taken aback by Lin Zheng's words, and hurriedly said to Lin Zheng and Tan Na: "Boss, I ......"
"I'm ready to retire at the age of 50 at most, it would be better if I could retire at the age of 40, over the years, I have been with Xiao Na less and more apart, and I promised her to accompany her to every corner of the world for the rest of her life, it's not okay if her health is too bad," Lin Zheng raised his hand to interrupt Sun Yafang's words, held Tan Na's hand with his backhand, and said to Sun Yafang with a smile: "Next year, next year at the latest, Mr. Tan and I will withdraw from the company's daily management work, and only be responsible for the company's general direction. ”
Tan Na smiled and said, "Yafang, let's say it first, if you can't do this president and CEO, we will replace you." ”
After Tan Na finished speaking, Lin Zheng turned to Patrick. "Lao Pi, your personality is not suitable to be at the helm of a company, but you are a natural financial leader, I hope you will help Manager Yafang in the future and help her manage this company...... In the next few years, the company's shares will be adjusted again, and the more you do, the more you get. (To be continued.) )
