Luo Sheng was always calm, and no one could find out what was really going on in his head.

The negotiation lasted about half an hour or so before it ended, and the end result was that Bob Swan pretended to be forceful and put down a few threatening words, and then left the table seemingly forcefully.

In fact, in Luo Sheng's eyes, there is no difference between running away from the wilderness, and the difference is that Luo Sheng did not expose the other party's fragile cover.

"Mr. Luo, will IBM really break with us?"

After learning the results of the negotiations, Zhang Bowen came to Luo Sheng's office and talked about the matter, and he happened to be dealing with some things.

"Why do you care if IBM has a falling out with us? If you care about this, it is equivalent to IBM having a bargaining chip, and you will definitely be threatened, and the result will be more compromise. Luo Sheng looked at Zhang Bowen and said.

But after a moment, Luo Sheng spread his hands and added: "So I don't care, whether we are friends or enemies, we don't make this decision, let IBM make this decision." We can figure out the most fundamental bottom line, that is, with or without IBM, we will not break our muscles and bones, at most a little harder, spend more time to overcome the technical pain points, can our team endure hardship? Can the technical pain points be solved? My answer is, yes! Isn't that the end of it? ”

Zhang Bowen: "Understood......"

In this situation, Lao Zhang, as the No. 2 person in Bluestar Technology Group, is actually a little empty when a large group of people under his command see him, but when he faces Luo Sheng now, he also feels what authority, aura, and momentum are.

It's not because Luo Sheng is his top boss, but the momentum he shows is too strong, and ordinary people are really a little overwhelmed, no wonder I saw Bob Swan leave with hurried small steps, a little embarrassed.

And Lao Zhang, who has worked with him for many years, found that Luo Sheng can still be retracted freely, which is the most terrifying and unfathomable place, so that it is impossible for you to explore any truth from him when facing him, and what you can explore is also deliberately done by him.

In fact, Luo Sheng also knows that he is within the company, whether it is on the side of Bluestar Technology or on the side of the Cote d'Azur.

In both companies, his totalitarian position and increasing authority are constantly pushing the ceiling, and now there is hardly any subordinate who opposes any of his decisions, which will cause his subordinates to completely lose their judgment and stop thinking, or judge but dare not object.

Naturally, it leads to the loss of teamwork, there is a huge elite team, and the result is that Luo Sheng is thinking alone, once his decision-making is wrong and no one comes out to correct it, there will be a large collapse below, and the loss is immeasurable.

Luo Sheng is actually aware of these potential problems, so every time he has a meeting at the senior level, he gives people an arrogant and taciturn look, but he is not an arrogant person, but in order to avoid the loss of teamwork, try not to say it if he can, because once he says it, no one will object.

This is the so-called "key person risk" of the enterprise, once the "key person" is not in play, a company or a team will interrupt the upward period or even weaken, in fact, the "key person risk" index of the two companies is about to burst.

Even Zhang Bowen and Yao Jianhong, the senior managers of the company, who are second only to Luo Sheng, "understood" when they saw him, and then there was no then.

The company's "key person risk" has to be guarded against, and at the same time, he is also dealing with this potential crisis step by step.

After entering the new year, Luo Sheng basically doesn't care much about the daily operation and management of the company, and his CEO position is becoming more and more like a nominal one, while Yao Jianhong and Zhang Bowen, who are in charge of the two companies respectively, are becoming more and more CEOs.

Luo Sheng is now gradually becoming a hands-off shopkeeper, just to step down as CEO and retire behind the scenes to pave the way.

It's okay to be a chairman, easily reduce the "key person risk", and have more energy to climb technology.

The most important thing is to be relaxed, the plate of the enterprise is getting bigger and bigger, Luo Sheng also feels tired enough, and after opening the door to Qin Weimu's new world, the beautiful lawyer is like a wolf......

Not to mention the two of them......

However, the matter of stepping down as CEO is not in a hurry, and there is a certain difference between Bluestar Technology and the Cote d'Azur and other companies, Luo Sheng's resignation as CEO is a major restructuring of the senior management, which will have a huge impact, and this impact is also reflected in his age.

So far, Luo Sheng is not yet 25 years old, and he has stepped down?

If such news spreads, not to mention that there will be a bunch of "historical inventors" in the outside media to make up all kinds of suspicions, even the company will cause turmoil.

In addition, Luo Sheng also needs to further upgrade the artificial intelligence Cortana.

At that time, even if he steps down as CEO, or even as chairman, it will not have any impact on his control of the company.

He can put down the power, and he can easily take it back, which is the fundamental reason why Luo Sheng has the confidence to decentralize.

……

It is said that Bob Swan, who represents IBM, came in a rage this time, and left in embarrassment.

After I went back, I truthfully reported the matter to the headquarters, but on the third day, IBM changed its commander and sent someone to talk, this time it was Samuel, the current head of IBM.

However, he didn't see Luo Sheng, it was Zhang Bowen who received him and negotiated with him, as for Luo Sheng who is busy climbing science and technology now, it's one thing to have no time, even if he has time, he won't see it.

Of course Samuel is unhappy with Luo Sheng's neglect, but what if he is unhappy?

In the end, it was not an honest sit down to talk to Zhang Bowen, and the contradiction in the negotiations between the two sides was the "third party".

Bluestar Technology made it clear that friends from the left, middle and right sides must be made, and IBM has no right to interfere with Bluestar Technology's decision.

Samuel also said directly that between Huawei and IBM, Bluestar Technology can only choose one of the two.

There is no doubt that Lao Zhang also directly threw the choice to the other party.

Whether to make friends or become enemies, Bluestar Technology does not choose, IBM chooses, if Bluestar Technology has to make a choice, it is all wanted.

This is directly talked about, you want all of Bluestar Technology, what is the difference between it and now?

In the next week, IBM and the senior management of Bluestar Technology went through three rounds of negotiations, but in the end there was still no consensus, and Samuel was helpless in the face of Bluestar Technology.

I had to put on a posture of hurting each other and returned home.

And his business trip to China was finally caught by the media when he was in the terminal, and he also accepted an impromptu interview, bluntly saying that the cooperation between IBM and Bluestar Technology was unpleasant, but when asked by a reporter whether it would affect the future cooperation between the two sides, Samuel refused to respond.

However, this breaking news is also exciting enough for the industry.

All of a sudden, some catchy headlines began to appear in the news recently.

What "Bluestar Technology and Blue Giant IBM have a falling out", "Bluestar Technology's cloud computing layout may be suspended", "Core technology is controlled by others, Bluestar Technology is stuck" and other reports with such headlines.

And some well-known and big V on the Internet also seized the opportunity to start black, cynical, and weird.

This kind of person is either stupid to the point of being intellectually crippled or bad to the bone.

The tearing war is inevitable, and the "tap water" of Bluestar Technology is not covered, and a large number of fan groups have been formed over the years, and they have also come out to denounce the big V and the public.

But in these noisy controversies on the Internet, no one in Bluestar Technology Group has come out to speak out.

As time went by, by mid-February, the tearing war was still in full swing, but at this time, the news of IBM suddenly came from North America, which made both sides of the tearing a little confused.

IBM announced yesterday that it signed a second phase of contract orders worth $4.72 billion with Bluestar Technology Group, and is expanding production capacity in preparation for a larger third phase of contract orders worth about $12.6 billion in the future.

Samuel also personally appeared at the press conference to respond to some recent rumors, which can be regarded as coming out to refute the rumors.

The mouth says no, but the body is sincere.

It turns out that IBM is just pretending to bluff and scare people, if it can't scare...... That's it, otherwise what should I do, earning money can't be delayed.

As everyone knows, IBM's competitors have red eyes when they see the amount of these orders.

It's one thing to be red-eyed, the key is to be angry, and I always feel that IBM is responding to peer competitors.

Because the news a few days ago seems that IBM is really going to pick and choose, and its competitors have begun to gear up and are preparing to fly to the other side of the ocean to sell solutions.

As a result, the "blue giant" pressed out the contract with his backhand, which gave people hope and shattered him, which was simply a heart-wrenching move.

It's as if IBM is hinting to the competitors: Look, even if it makes such a mess, the list is still mine, just ask you if you are angry? So don't think too much about it, wash and sleep, and have everything in your dreams.

And after the news was transmitted back to China, the big V and the public intellectuals who were originally yin and yang, cynical, and gloating collectively lost their voices.

Bluestar Technology didn't react at all in the past few days, as if it hadn't happened, but Bluestar Technology and Luo Sheng's fans and netizens won't just forget it.
