Chapter 48: Mobile Phone Division
"Is it really that urgent? I'd like to take it slow and focus on being an online community. Zhao Hongbing responded.
When Zhang Xiao heard Zhao Hongbing's words, he felt that Zhao Hongbing's heart had begun to change a little from before, because when the two went to Silicon Valley more than half a year ago, Zhao Hongbing mentioned that he wanted to make a smart phone, and now more than half a year has passed, the smart phone department has not been established, and the online community has become prosperous.
"Pete, what's wrong with you, why did you suddenly make such a change?" Zhang Xiao said helplessly.
For Zhang Xiao, she didn't want to see Zhao Hongbing's capricious appearance, after all, such Zhao Hongbing really couldn't get her favor.
"It's nothing, I feel that after we go public, we must be responsible to the shareholders, since the online community is now the hottest sector, why do we want to get those smartphones? Don't say that Buchos is now making color fruit G3 and color fruit 4, I don't believe in this set. Zhao Hongbing said resolutely.
Zhang Xiao was blocked like this, and he couldn't even speak.
"Illya, are you alright? I'll have to reconcile with the finance department first, and I'll talk about it later! โ
Zhao Hongbing directly put aside Zhang Xiao and stopped talking about smartphones, and Zhang Xiao was also a little lost, and when she looked back at Zhao Hongbing, she was obviously a little depressed.
This kind of frustration has been permeating the two of them, whether it is Zhao Hongbing or Zhang Xiao, they are very unhappy in their hearts.
In the process of taking the elevator down to the tenth floor, Zhao Hongbing was extremely tormented.
He thought to himself, Illya, I'm sorry, please forgive me, you will definitely understand my intentions in the future, I'm really sorry!
It turned out that Zhao Hongbing himself was actually inclined to Zhang Xiao's thoughts, but why did he refuse the other party in front of Zhang Xiao?
In fact, this is also where Zhao Hongbing feels helpless in his heart, after all, there has been an alliance of "Zhou Qin" within the company, and the alliance is not small, there are seven people on the board of directors who belong to their group, not to mention the company's middle-level and low-level employees.
This "Zhou Qin" alliance is headed by Zhou Chang and Qin Xisong, they are the most opposed to the Internet community, smart phones and other innovative businesses, when they were doing the Internet community before, Zhao Hongbing has already violated the interests of these people, and now if they do a smart phone department, most of these people will rise up against Zhao Hongbing.
Once it really becomes like that, Feitong will really face a split situation, which is not what Zhao Hongbing wants to see.
For Zhao Hongbing, being able to stay here is the best response for him.
When they got off work, Zhang Xiao and Zhao Hongbing happened to take the elevator together, but the two did not talk, and other colleagues in the elevator greeted their two senior executives one by one, but the two still did not interact.
After getting out of the elevator, Zhao Hongbing and Zhang Xiao just walked towards the underground garage again, and the two still looked a little embarrassed.
"Elijah."
Just as Zhang Xiao was about to walk to her luxury car, Zhao Hongbing stopped her from behind.
Although Zhang Xiao was a little hesitant, he still turned his head hard, this pair of best partners, who usually have a tacit understanding, now has a layer of estrangement.
"That...... Let's go eat Japanese food together tonight, shall we? Zhao Hongbing said.
The more anxious he became, Zhao Hongbing actually began to be entangled in his heart, and with this kind of tangled emotion, it was not a good thing for Zhao Hongbing.
"Japanese food?" Zhang Xiao asked rhetorically.
"Yes! By the way, how about the company's vision for the future? Zhao Hongbing hesitated.
Although he didn't want to tell Zhang Xiao his inner thoughts, when a person hid these thoughts, he felt extremely tormented, and he longed for someone to share this inner pain.
For Zhao Hongbing, the best choice is Zhang Xiao.
"Is that okay?"
Seeing that Zhang Xiao didn't reply, Zhao Hongbing was still quite entangled, so he asked again.
"Okay, in your car?" Zhang Xiao said briskly.
"Yes!"
Subsequently, Zhao Hongbing drove his Ferrari Enzo and drove Zhang Xiao to the Jiro Japanese restaurant in the city center.
"Say anything!"
At the beginning, the two didn't talk too much about the company, but they were playing with their mobile phones, communicating with their friends on their mobile phones about the day's life or business, and the atmosphere was still a little awkward.
However, Zhang Xiao has always been the type to speak directly, and he will not hide too much of his thoughts, so he asked Zhao Hongbing first.
"In the company...... There's a force that's against making smartphones, you know? Zhao Hongbing asked.
Of course, Zhao Hongbing still doesn't know how to directly say his inner thoughts, so he deliberately went around in circles.
"Yes! Isn't it Zhou Chang and Qin Xisong? They also installed a lot of people in my online community department, but they were all monitored by me, rest assured, they can't make waves. Zhang Xiao said firmly.
At this time, Zhao Hongbing put down the soup spoon in his hand, looked at Zhang Xiao seriously and said: "I don't want there to be a split within Feitong, but making a smart phone is indeed a very urgent and important thing, and the reason why I oppose you in the company today is also because I am worried that Zhou Chang is watching us in the company." โ
"Has it reached such a serious level? Why didn't the board vote to move this resolution? Although there are quite a lot of groups, they shouldn't be as good as you! Zhang Xiao hesitated.
"Not how? Now there are seven people on the board of directors who support them,Two more can affect our company's resolution,I feel that some people are also a little wavering,After all, they insist on doing 2K TV,There is indeed a little marketใ Zhao Hongbing sighed deeply, but wiped his mouth with a napkin.
"2K TV is indeed the mainstream of the future, but the division we originally acquired from Recreation can do a good job in these businesses, although now Proton is a certain distance beyond us, but this distance can be narrowed. Smartphones are different, this field is still blank in China, and now only Caiguo companies in the world have paid attention to the development of this industry, we should keep up with their footsteps! Zhang Xiao said worriedly.
"So what do you mean...... We forced the creation of this department by a vote of the board of directors? Zhao Hongbing asked.
"Of course!"
The night was getting deeper, but the worries in Zhao Hongbing's heart were not dispelled.
At the board meeting three days later, Zhao Hongbing forcibly established the Feitong smartphone branch by co-opting the other nine directors, and the establishment of this branch also made the "Zhou Qin" group increasingly dissatisfied, and Feitong appeared a mournful mood from top to bottom.
