Chapter 47: The End of a Hero? (Ask for recommendation)
"Since the press conference of Huawei and Intel, our stock price has been on a downward slope, and every time the market opens, without exception, it will fall to the limit, so yesterday the board of directors has decided to suspend the issuance of Qualcomm shares. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn addition, the head of the technical department asked me to tell you that their research has not made any progress in the past two months, and it seems that it has fallen into a dead end, and there is a lack of funding, and they have applied for R&D funding from the finance department, which has not yet been approved. ”
Powell is used to it, because there is so much bad news these days, and he is a little numb to listen to it. At first he would be angry and hysterical. But now he understands that things are far beyond his reach. Even if the gods are reincarnated, I am afraid they will not be able to return to the sky.
Listening to the secretary's report, President Powell didn't say a word, quite a bit of a feeling that Xu Shu had entered Cao Ying. Maybe Xu Shu and Powell are both in the same bad mood, but Powell's expression at this time is like a mourning test. His face was purple-black, like ink that could drip off.
Today's day is gloomy, just like Powell's mood, which is also gloomy. Lately, he has been having nightmares and waking up late at night, so he comes to work during the day with two dark circles under his eyes.
The secretary's report also made him understand why he always had an uneasy feeling recently: because Qualcomm is going to be finished!
Yes, when the secretary's report was completed, as a veteran of the shopping mall, he already knew that Qualcomm was going to end, the chip market was about to face a new reshuffle, and the rules were about to be reformulated. Although he was very reluctant to accept the idea in his head, he knew that the day of Qualcomm's final decline was not far off.
Seeing that the president did not speak, the secretary continued: "In addition, mobile phone manufacturers at home and abroad have proposed to us to terminate the contract, even if the price we gave is less than half of the original, they are also resolutely terminated. The secretary also knew a little that such a thing would happen to Qualcomm, and this peripheral person also understood that maybe he should find a new job.
"I see." Powell leaned back in his chair, nodded, and said expressionlessly.
The secretary seemed sympathetic before leaving the office, and Powell didn't know if he was mistaken.
Just thinking about resting for a while, the phone rang again, glanced at the screen, and said to himself: "What should come will come, and I can't help it." ”
"Chairman, do you have something?"
"Powell, the board is now officially giving you a letter of dismissal, and you've been fired. I've asked the finance department to pay you for this month. Qualcomm's chairman said lightly.
"I see." With that, he got up from his chair and slowly put the phone on his desk.
His cloudy eyes showed a faint light, and he looked around, and suddenly seemed to be a little reluctant in his heart. This is a place where I have been fighting for more than ten years, and perhaps, there will be no chance of coming back in the future. With a long sigh in my heart, it's all gone, and the glory is gone.
Powell said self-deprecatingly: "I watched you be born, watched you grow, and watched you step by step to glory, but in the end, I can't accompany you to the end, alas, goodbye!" His eyes were already full of stars. As a co-founder of the company, this is his company. Under the power of capital, he has now been driven away, and no one will feel good.
Rubbing his rough hands against his leather chair and scanning the few papers on his desk, it was a place full of memories. Powell left, but he took nothing with him. Not even his favorite pen was taken with him. Things are not people, and heroes are at an end!
The next day, Qualcomm announced the official appointment of a new president. When he was entrusted with the defeated army, he was ordered to be in danger. But is he really capable of turning the tide? Maybe Qualcomm will, as Powell said, really not far from the demise of this former giant.
"Oh, Dad, your phone!" The little boy ran over and handed the phone to his father.
"Good boy." It has been a few days since Powell returned home, and gradually, he has gradually adjusted from his loss. But he still wants to be able to return to that battlefield where he belongs one day.
Poor and strong, do not fall into the ambition of the clouds!
"Hello, I'm Powell."
"Mr. Powell, I heard that you were fired from Qualcomm."
Being fired, this is definitely Powell's sore spot, he thought he had let go, but he found that he still didn't.
"If you're here to see my jokes, and you're done with the jokes, do you have anything else, and if not, I should go back to spend time with my children." Powell's voice was a little low.
"Mr. Powell, are you willing to be kicked out of the company you founded?" The comer seems to be motivating Powell.
"It's good at home, I'm a little tired of it. I can also enjoy the company's dividends every month, I think I have nothing to fight for, and now I have a good life. ”
"Powell, ask yourself, did you really live your life like this?"
The radical method, a typical radical method, but Powell was asked by this sentence.
Lao Ji is still ambitious, he is not yet fifty years old, did he give up like this? Did you really just give up?
He is unwilling, he is definitely unwilling, such a result is not what he wants!
"What do you want?" Powell had a gut feeling: this man, can help him!
"We cooperate."
I almost laughed out loud on the other end of the phone, the fish took the bait!
"How to cooperate?"
"I know that you, as the co-founder of Qualcomm, own about 15 percent of the shares, so, we work together to bring you back to Qualcomm and take the reins!"
"Conditions?"
When the man on the other side heard this, he knew that he had agreed.
"I think it's been a long time for Qualcomm to change owners."
"Are you trying to ......" Powell understood what this person was trying to do when he heard it, what he wanted was Qualcomm! Who is this person?
"Boom!"
The sky was a bolt of thunder, Powell thought, and he should have known who this man really was.
"You are, the Classic of Mountains and Seas!"
"That's right, I'm the Classic of Mountains and Seas!" The person who came was Yan Feng, and he wanted to take Qualcomm under his own! "Next, we should talk about specific cooperation!"
.................
A month later, after the joint participation of many parties: Huawei, Intel, Shanhaijing and many mobile phone manufacturers, Qualcomm was already on the verge of bankruptcy. There is even more panic within the company, and most employees have already begun to prepare for job hopping. The company, which was once a source of pride for its employees, is now crumbling.
Later, every employee was given a piece of paper!
