Chapter 573: Lao Bei was almost cheated

Since Benier has been rewarded, it is naturally impossible for other employees in the company not to be rewarded, looking at the employees who are looking at themselves, Boss Lin waved his hand heroically: "The rapid development of the company during this period is inseparable from everyone's efforts, and everyone has a bonus!" ”

"Yay~ Long live the boss!"

Americans are so undisciplined at work, hearing the boss say that they will pay themselves bonuses, a group of people shouted and cheered, and some dared to make fun of their boss: "Boss, are we also 50,000 US dollars?" ”

"Think beautifully!" Lin Zheng glared unceremoniously, and did not give face to his employees at all: "Each person will be given half a month's salary as a reward!" ”

As soon as Lin Zheng's words came out, there was another burst of cheers in the huge company.

Everyone's salary is not low, even if the newcomer has just come in, there is a salary of more than 3,000 US dollars a month, and the monthly salary of those employees who can serve as team leaders is more than 5,000, which is not counting bonuses and benefits, the boss's mouth is half a month's salary, which is equivalent to almost two or three thousand dollars more out of thin air, although there are not many people in the company, but there are seventy or eighty numbers, the boss's mouth is two or three hundred thousand dollars of rewards sent out, it is really generous enough, and it is really happy to follow such a boss.

"Okay, okay, I'll go to work for Lao Tzu!" Mr. Benier seems to have incarnated into Zhou Pai, a few years later, the pain is a few years later, and now Benier does not have that feeling, he was promised a reward of $50,000 by the boss, and his spirit was shocked, regardless of the sighs and complaints of the surrounding employees, and the spit stars splashed everyone back to his desk: "Who dares to be lazy for me." Be careful that I deduct your winnings! ”

Franklin was the biggest, and in the face of Benier's threat to deduct the bonus, everyone reluctantly returned to their seats. But I didn't forget to whisper, whispering about how I should spend the bonus after I got it...... Americans are not good at this, they can't hide bones in the kennel, and they think about how to spend a little money.

Lin Zheng looked at this qiē with a smile, without the slightest intention of stopping, a company must have a red face and a white face, as the boss of the company. He wants to give his employees an amiable impression to increase the cohesion of the company, but as the day-to-day manager of the company, Benier must be strict. Otherwise, there will be chaos in the management of the company, to put it bluntly, he plays the role of the sweet date, and Benier is the stick in his hand.

Benier, who drove the employees back to his desk, invited Lin Zheng to his office. solemnly reported to Lin Zheng the one thing that Lin Zheng was most concerned about on this trip: "Boss." Motorola didn't pay much attention to the mention of ICQ all the way to our phones, and put forward some very harsh conditions, but the Japanese came to the door, and I think their conditions are good. ”

The launch of the mobile terminal version of ICQ is the established strategy formulated by Lin Zheng for ICQ, and Benier also agrees with the development direction formulated by the boss, if the ICQ mobile terminal can be successfully launched, it is an excellent opportunity for ICQ to expand the influence of ICQ.

But the ideal is very plump, and the show is somewhat backbone. As the largest supplier of telecommunications equipment and telecommunications terminals in North America, Motorola is a mess. It was proposed that if it wanted to transplant ICQ software on Motorola's mobile phones and two-way pagers, it would be necessary to exchange 40% of ICQ's shares for it, but this is not the whole condition, and Motorola clearly demanded that 60% of the economic benefits obtained from this go to Motorola.

With a 40% stake, Motorola is either crazy or crazy!

Not only did Lin Zheng think that Motorola was crazy, but Benier felt that they were simply not ordinary and deceived people too much.

After listening to what Benier said, Lin Zheng asked Benier with a blushing face: "Are those Japanese companies?" What are their conditions? ”

"Sony, Panasonic, Sharp, NEC and Kyocera have all come to us," Benier said, "and they all offered similar terms, willing to port ICQ mobile terminals to their mobile phones for free, and willing to help us work with telecom operators." ”

"Free?" Lin Zheng sneered.

"Well, it's free," Benier nodded, he felt that the conditions were good, and persuaded: "Boss, as far as the current situation is concerned, no company will offer better conditions than Japanese companies." ”

"We're going to suffer a big loss for free, Lao Bei, let me ask you, what is the market share of these Japanese mobile phone brands in the United States? How many registered users do we have in ICQ? How many concurrent users are there? If we agree to transplant the ICQ terminal to their mobile phone, how many potential consumers do you think will choose Japanese mobile phones because of this gimmick of mobile phone ICQ terminal? Lin Zheng looked at Benier speechlessly, wondering why he didn't understand such a simple truth?

"Rub!"

Benier's old face instantly turned red, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into: Is it so embarrassing, and he didn't even think of such a simple truth?

Nowadays, Motorola is a dominant company in the North American mobile communications market, whether it is a Motorola mobile phone or a Motorola pager, almost occupying more than 90% of the market share in its market, Alcatel, Ericsson, Nokia and other European mobile phone brands and Japanese mobile phone brands and the remaining several American second-tier mobile phone brands can only make a bite of leftovers in this less than 10% market share.

If you ask them willingly? This question is simply nonsense, no one of us has one less arm or leg than the other, why can you Motorola eat meat and gnaw bones, and we can only eat one bite of leftovers? It's just that Motorola is really big, and its roots in American politics and the military are too deep, and no one expects to be able to pull Motorola off the horse and replace it, but both Japanese and European are all thinking about how to expand their market share a little bit all day long. But in the absence of an opportunity, is this share so easy to expand? But now, ICQ has given them such an opportunity. The thought that he had almost given up such a good opportunity to the other party made Benier ashamed of himself.

"Okay Lao Bei, you don't have to think about it too much, you just didn't think of this for a while, I won't blame you," Looking at Benier's face for a while red and white, Lin Zheng didn't mean to hold Benier responsible: "The Japanese have always been very cunning, you can understand if you don't think of it for a while." ”

At the beginning of the development of the telecommunications industry of the Republic, the Japanese telecommunications industry did not do very glorious, in a vain attempt to control the telecommunications industry of the Republic with a small country, but unexpectedly, the leaders of that era were astonishingly bold, and they would rather risk huge economic losses to dispel the arrogant idea of the Japanese, which proved to be correct, and the result is that since the mid-80s, The share of Japanese telecommunications equipment and later Japanese mobile communication equipment in the telecommunications market of the Republic has not been very good, and no one will believe it if there is no instruction from the national level.

Benier is not stupid, after Lin Zheng pointed out his negligence, he immediately had a coping strategy: "Boss, I think it is a good idea to hold a bidding meeting, we only release three places, let these Japanese mobile phone brands compete for the opportunity to transplant ICQ mobile phone terminals, and the authorization period is only three years." ”

"Why don't you include European mobile phone brands?" Lin Zheng frowned, although he has no good impression of the Japanese, but he still admires the Japanese mobile phone technology, to be honest, before 2005, Japanese mobile phones can stand side by side with the United States, European mobile phone brands one of the strong, although the share of the mobile phone market in the Republic is not very good, the technology is not weak at all, Sony, Panasonic, Kyocera, NEC and other Japanese mobile phone brands any one of the out, technical strength can fall down several streets of domestic mobile phone brands. But now, Benier actually plans to let only Japanese mobile phone brands come in, which makes Lin Zheng a little puzzled: the Japanese are very good at holding together.

"Europeans ......" Benier smiled bitterly: "They don't think it's good for them, our previous contact with them was not very good, and their reaction was very cold." ”

Benier's judgment is not unreasonable, Europeans are known for their old-fashionedness, conservatism and high self-esteem, but Lin Zheng does not agree with Benier's judgment: "They reacted coldly because they didn't know how to drive their sales after the ICQ was transplanted to mobile phones...... And Lao Bei, do you know that this is a strategy they have adopted? ”

Benier was stunned again, he hadn't thought about this problem before, but now that he had been reminded by his boss, Benier suddenly realized that the possibility that the boss said was not only zài, but even very likely, maybe these bastards were trying to suppress themselves, obviously they were helping them but let themselves pay.

"Damn...... Benier, who realized that he was almost played by the Europeans, gritted his teeth angrily, his eyes were red, he was the self-proclaimed most successful Internet CEO on weekdays, but he didn't expect to be played as a fool one after another, how could Benier accept it? I'm going to make them pay! ”

Lin Zheng was very satisfied with Benier's reaction now, and nodded with a smile: "That's right, Lao Bei, tell those Japanese companies and European companies, we will only release three authorized places, if they don't care, don't look for you to cry when the time comes." (To be continued......)
